Speer who in 1840 received the first diplomas from Wesleyan College, we the graduates of 1940 respectfully dedicate this page. It is our sincere wish that graduates of future years will look back upon our class with as much pride as we feel when remembering those first eleven who laid the ground¬ work of our wonderful heritage. In 1888, at an Alumnae Reunion, the first graduate, Catherine E. Brewer Benson, returned her diploma to her Alma Mater, saying, as she handed it to Dr. Haygood: When you left your Alma Mater, you little thought that your next diploma would be received by the hand of a woman. This is a progressive age and we know not what the future may develop. This is not a testi¬ monial of scholarship, but a memento of the past. After forty-eight years it returns to its home asking love and protection.” Side view of the Conservatory from Washington Avenue . . .

Treasurer All the type has been set and the presses are rolling. The Journal of the Class of 40 has been put to bed. The banner head reads Seniors Gain Diplomas and the number one head says, Hard Struggle for Four Years. Glancing through the first edition, one may sec in the section marked first year ’ only very faint signs of the debonairness of the class of 40. There is a snapshot that shows a stern forbidding group and another somewhat meeker bunch in the background. The meek ones with their hair in pigtails are members of the ever ill-fated Fresh¬ man Class being ducfully ratted by the sophs. There is a writeup of the soccer season in this section telling of how the class of ' 40 went to the finals only to be defeated by the seniors. A feature gives a vivid account of the Thanksgiving banquet. Reading a little hidden mean¬ ing into the actual words one senses the impression made upon the freshmen by this, their first banquet at Wesleyan. A small paragraph says the judges practically ignored the efforts of the first year class on Stunt Night when they came in fourth with their melodrama. On the society page arc accounts of a half dozen weddings in which many names from the Freshman Class are seen. In the Sophomore Section appears the first double head column with black letters announcing Sophomores Win Trophy for Best Stunt. This year the class presented a machine with stunts to order. The Mrs. Bluebeard act and the ultra-modernistic dance helped the stunt reach and hold its place at thi top of the column. It is in this section that the words to the song Sophomore Class of 40 first appear. In spite of these new words of encouragement there is a notice that the Sophomore Soccer team was stopped in the finals by the seniors, and that the swimming team placed second. The sophomores won two other double column play-ups in this section. Headlines read Sophs First in Basketball ' ' and Golf Trophy Goes to Sophs. The Junior Section is one of features. The most prominent is one discussing little sisters. The junior year was made a more outstanding one, reads the arti¬ cle, because of the appearance of the class that was to be the sister class of the girls of 40. In the first column is a story that tells of the loss of the class spon¬ sor and of how the class marched across the campus in a body and invaded the portals of the li¬ brary to find another sponsor there. CLASS Mist Carnes entertains the „ rl fl.un � « • «P« d •— A. � «« ' b«to e M.y 30th. ACTIVITIES There is no banner over this soccer story, although the juniors went to the finals only to be defeated by the sophomores. But a double-column head over the basketball story an¬ nounces that the juniors won the championship. And then it all leads to the Senior Section which is the most revealing section in the whole Journal. It is here that the seniors tell of their mix¬ ture of joy and regret at the thought of writing their last story. They win a double header on the front page as they, after three years of going to the finals, finally win the Soccer Championship and the cup. The story of the stunt says the seniors were awarded second place. An unusual feature of this section is one in which the seniors express their attitudes and views along the lines of their four years at Wesleyan and what it means to be a senior and ready to graduate. There are state¬ ments referring to the Thanksgiving banquet and the peculiar feeling that this banquet was their last. Things to be remembered are: the songs of the carollcrs at Christmas time, the excitement of soccer and basket¬ ball, the constant rush to classes and labs, and trips to the pharm. The Senior Class has won its final double-column head, has written its last box-feature. The presses are rolling off the memories that the class of 1940 will read in their Jour¬ nal when they re¬ member Wesleyan. By Margaret Hunter.

It was an excia-d group that gathered in the college chapel to witness the beginning of that shocking, yet thrilling, experience—education for women. ... . w j The college building was located on a commanding eminence midway between downtown Macon and the village of Vineville. The city spread out on a plain below. On the west were quiet homes and a ma¬ jestic pine forest; on the north the ruins of old Fort Hawkins—blockhouses and relics of martial days There were only fifty-six rooms in the cupola-crowned building—four young ladies to each room and furniture had to be furnished by the occupants. HER COLLEGE DAY The Wesleyanne of 1840 began her day at sunrise. The girls were summoned by a bell to meet in the chapel for family prayer—attendance compulsory. From then until breakfast they studied with time out for recreation until nine. Next all pupils assembled for morning prayers and then to classrooms for reci¬ tations until eleven. At twelve o’clock boarding students retired to their rooms and day students were herded into the chapel for a silent study hour under the strict supervision of a professor. From twelve until two came dinner and recreation, then study hour until four and recitations once more. At five—prayers and dis¬ missal. Supper and recreation lasted until seven. Two hours of study remained and at nine o’clock —lights out. HER STUDIES Mathematics, English, history, religion, and science were the basic obstacles that the Wesley- anne of 1840 had to surmount. Catherine Ben¬ son relates an incident that occurred in a Math class one day. It had been raining and the members of the junior class, finding it monotonous in the study room, decided to adjourn to the room of one of the boarding students to study the lesson. Upon entering the room we saw stems of half a dozen clay pipes in warm ashes in the fireplace. What are they for?” we asked. We are going to curl our front hair.” True to woman ' s nature, a desire for personal improvement, we decided to have our hair curled also. Time sped rapidly and ere we were aware, the bell summoned us to our recitation in Euclid. We marched -y] + ,j w into the recitation room feeling that to be seen was to be admired. A few questions V 1 ,4 . yr . 4 were asked and finally— Miss Martha, please take the Proposition 47”—a peep into the book revealed the figure, but alas! the demonstration was wanting. The next young lady will go to the board.” Mr. Ellison, please excuse me. I am not prepared.” The next.” I don ' t know the lesson, Mr. Ellison.” • 56 - This was too much for his patience. Quietly fold¬ ing the book he said, his voice full of tenderness, Young ladies, had you devoted the hour to study instead of making corkscrews you would have found it more profitable. Take the same lesson for tomorrow. Class dismissed. HER PURSE STRINGS The college suffered in reputation from the idea that the expenses exceeded those of every other Female School.” In actual figures the amount of money needed for a year’s expenses was only one hun¬ dred and ninety dollars. George Pierce in answer to the criticism of tuition said: A gentleman brings his daughter to the institu¬ tion. He purchases for her room fine furniture, a high post bedstead, bureau of mahogany, a carpet at $1.50 a yard. He goes down town and tells some mer¬ chants to give his daughter credit for anything she wants, for he desires that his darling shall be com¬ fortable. When he goes home he slips a ten or twenty dollar bill in a letter every once in a while that his daughter may buy fruit, ice creams, candy and al¬ monds. At the close of the term he adds it all together, throws in stage and tavern and when it’s all figured out, he draws an asthmatic breath and exclaims, Good Heavens! What an extravagant place that Female College is!” HER GRADUATION NIGHT It is the night of the 18th of July, 1840, a dark, starless night, ill fitted for the great event about to take place. The large college building with its broad verandas and tall white columns stands out imposingly against the dark back¬ ground. Cheerful light gleams from its innumerable windows and within is a scene of confusion and excitement. As the hour approaches eight, the college bell begins to ring. Louder and louder it grows, seeming to redouble its energy with each pull of the cord, joyfully proclaiming an unusual event, important not only in the history of Macon, but in the history of every city, for tonight will appear the first graduates from the first Woman’s college in the world. The room is bare of flowers. . . . The lights are from candles, but not too dim for one to discern the central figures in tonight’s exercises . . . happy girls attired in white muslin dresses, unfrilled, unruffled, untrimmed, with hair parted and pushed gently back from the forehead and caught with a tucking comb, with faces glowing and eyes sparkling with suppressed excitement.” And at the close as George Foster Pierce handed out the last diploma he turned impressively toward the eleven young women on the stage and said: Identify yourselves with the refined, the cultured, the intellec¬ tual, the benevolent, and thus take the proud position to which your circumstances and claims entitle you. . . . The sphere of woman is constantly enlarging as education fits her for loftier duties and Christian philanthropy multiplies her means of doing good. bills on the road coming and going. ' A word that must be, and hath been; A sound that makes us linger, Yet farewell.” OFFICER Ei oise Ainsworth . Trances Jones . Eleanor Shelton . Helen Blood worth THREE 5 . . President Vice-President . . Secretary . Treasurer College life for us started on September 13, 1937, with the registering of a new Tri-K class who has proudly held high the red and white during the past three years. From the first it was a venture so new that it was disappointing to have to replace bull sessions and midnight feasts for parallel, homesickness, and sophomores, who in the wee small hours before dawn chanted a funeral dirge through freshman hall and started such a rat day as Wesleyan has not had since. But our meekness that first year gave way soon enough to win a real honor by the swimming cham¬ pionship, although our Mickey Mouse stunt only rated second place. We had to prove to our big sisters what we could do before they left us, so, as sophomores we won the soccer championship, and then cheered them on to win the stunt over our third place Holiday in Hades. We felt sorry for the faculty when the students won the Battle of Wits, so, sympathetically, the student body coached them so that they came out ahead in the second contest, making us proud of our proteges. The new, strange feeling of having little sisters’ was good enough during our junior year to make up for the disappointment in losing the soccer championship and stunt night. We even realize now how very much we’ll miss this year’s soccer champs when they are gone.

But to pay for that day we have two exams a day instead of one. This year we have seen our student activities building dedicated in memory of Olive Swann Porter. The three years since September 13, 1937, are filled with other memories-of carollers singing under - 58 - 4 YEARS candle-lit windows on early mornings as the Christ¬ mas holidays begin; of a campus covered with a five- inch blanket of soft snow and sleigh rides on kitchen trays with I)r. Douglas” giving push-offs—many memories, but also there are new friendships that promise to be lasting. New ideas and visions which promise widening horizons as well as our remembrances, making us realize that we have even more to look forward to than backward upon in our senior year to come. Yesterday is today’s memories, but tomorrow is to¬ day’s dream.” —Sarah Webb. MISS HOWELL Sponsor - MASCOT FABIA TRICE CONSERVATORY OFFICERS Frieda Brown. President Christine Rountree . .

Trai ' rcr When we speak of spirits, we don’t mean ammonia, nor do we allude to phantoms that some say haunt our dormitoru in forms of men, all named Wilber; we mean the combined spirit, loyalty, and ability of some sixty girls—’The Spir of 42. ' Now we’ve had just a little time—not even two full college years—to really interpret to the world the meaning of t word, spirit; but give us another year or so, and there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind as to its exact definition ai practical application. In the fall of 38, like so many busy bees, we buzzed from building to building and from room to room, often losi our way completely on Wesleyan’s vast and awe-inspiring campus. Only when we were confined to campus dates did realize the minuteness of its bounds. The greatest distances on the campus seemed to be between the two goal posts on the soccer field. We never qur conquered that foe either, because the sophs trimmed us by one point on our first Thanksgiving Day game. Stunts stunted us again, for One-Lung-Gong” was not the apple of the judge’s eyes, or else they sympathized win those antiquated seniors, for sure enough the dignified ones” emerged victorious. But we were not to be downed, or drowned either, by soccer games and stunt nights, for our aquatic version of Ferdi nand the Bullfrog” won us fame and fortune—well fame anyway— at the swimming meet. From that day forth the spirit of 42 has been a compelling force in all the ac¬ tivities of Wesleyan. This year we simply were not able to conceal our inner delight over losing that very verdant tinge of our freshman year, and under¬ going a gradual chameleon-like change into hues with only a hint of green in them. What a change it was to be asked about things in¬ stead of having to do all the asking ourselves. A v ' « w of those orange tulips in the sophomore stunt ' 7k 40 V£T€ftHOPT- - 64 - SOPHOMORES • • • Last fall wc started with quite a bang, and nothing could keep us from reechoing that sound throughout the rest of the year. First of all we tried a new policy in the treatment of the freshman babies which worked quite successfully. For a change we treated them well—royally, I should say; and after a sumptuous banquet given in their honor, we assured each rat that we could actually be on friendly terms with her. We were overwhelmingly defeated on Stunt Night. However, we banished from our thoughts those 2,560 tulips into which went our life blood, that irresistible wind¬ mill, and even those authentic Dutch cos¬ tumes, and gave the babes credit for a grand performance. On the soccer field the cry Orange Tulips, coupled with plenty of brain and brawn, carried us on to victory over some keen competition. We will have those freshmen to reckon with for many times to come. With the other classes w ' e were not so successful, but optimistic as we were, we announced basketball practice immediately after the last soccer game. We have confidence, but not too much in our girls. Wc have a battle cry; we have an ideal sponsor; we have a grand group of girls; we have the spirit of 42. —Mary Stewart Becking.

Soon she discovered how many of her roommates’ clothes she could get into, and then she turned her interest toward tests. Frieda wrote home, College is not like I thought it would lx We just sit in a big room in the basement and answer questions about whether we like Mother better than Daddy.” The only thing Frieda feared about the whole school was the Sophomore Class. However, w hen Rat Day” turned out to be feast and fun instead of toil and torture Frieda’s sophomore dread slowly faded into a more healthy suspicion. Frieda Freshman made her first triumph when she tip-toed through the tulips” to proudly claim the Stunt Night cup with her stunt So Red the O’Hara,” a take-off on Gone With the Wind.” By this time all eyes had turned to the Thanksgiving soccer games.

It was lots of fun playing though, and just between Frieda and me and the goal posts, the freshmen discovered the sophomores weren’t so bad after all. The banquet at Thanksgiving was the most wonderful thing Frieda had ever experienced. The feeling she had as she tried to get the turkey up past her junior sister’s flowers and down past the lump in her throat which rose every time she looked at the seniors in their evening dresses was one she had never before had. The banquet put everyone in good spirits for an hilarious Professor Whiz program that night between the students and faculty. The frosh representatives did their best to help uphold the honorable record of the students. Imagine Frieda’s surprise when the faculty w r on! • • • Freshmen are walked to town by those wicked sophs on Rat Day FRESHMEN CONSERVATORY OFFICERS Allinelle New . . President Edna Lee . .

All this plus the incidental added attraction of going home for the holidays made Frieda just about the happiest girl in the world. Thus ends the chapter in the life of Frieda Freshman.

From the first major event fired in 1939 until the last minute deadline signed the Armistice in 1940 the Veterropt army—10 strong has been sta¬ tioned at photographic and literary fronts. And now that peace has been declared and outstanding events seized and held in captivity between these pages the captain and her men can look back upon the long and thrilling siege. There were attempts at a new strategy—the abandonment of formal pictorial invasions and an effort made to catch the victim in action—surprise attacks. There were harried moments when Veterropt spies, incognito, gained admittance to enemy camps—gasps and shrieks as the flash bulbs went off—and another gay regiment was captured. Drafts had to be sold to keep the army in am¬ munition—all prisoners photographed—leaders cor¬ ralled and brought to account. There were sleepless nights trying to map out new courses. During the day every eye and ear was kept open for informa¬ tion some unsuspecting person should disclose. SLEYAN ... VETERROPT Conservatory Editor Price, Business Manager Brown and Snapshot Editor Ramsey talk it over. Moyer goes into action as Pictorial Editor Richards, Literary Editor Jones, and sophomore recruits Kurtz and Woolbright tear themselves away from the matter at hand. Then there were charts drawn up, a calendar kept of impor¬ tant meetings, ways of attack planned and a Veterropt man put on the job. After the major photographic embattlements careful records had to be made and sent to headquarters, cor¬ rected, returned—kept in secret vaults until one morning when the white flag of peace rose above the Veterropt trench, and the year’s work disclosed. Now, it’s over and the Veterropt declares its truce—the terms—unconditional surrender. To those few without whose help we would have been stranded long ago, we give the regimental decorations: To Major George C. Collins, whose camera eye has been faithfully devoted to our cause throughout the year, whose time has been willingly placed at our disposal and whose un¬ tiring patience hasn’t worn thin yet—we give the thanks and appreciation of the entire Veterropt company. To Miss Eunice Thompson and Dr. Gignilliat whose previous experience in annual strategy has made them invaluable to us. To all the Faculty who have untiringly allowed us to capture their image for this book; and to every student encamped on this territory for their coopera¬ tion and help during the entire year we give distinguished recognition.

Believing that far too many student magazines are so literary that they go unread by the majority the students, the staff set out to give the sr dents of Wesleyan College a magazine that tin would read and enjoy—a magazine that wo appeal to every type of student. The editor policy in rejuvenating the magazine w.i ' make it attractive, lively, and above all r«. able. The first change made in this rejuvena process was in the makeup. A smaller magi with greater bulk was introduced. The cov were linoleum block designs printed on bn r colors. Illustrations for stories and articles, editorial cartoons added much to the attract ness of the magazine. The policy concerning the material used was it is better to be less arty and highbrow and have a great many readers than to be ultra literary and have only a m number.” The stories and articles appearin n the Wesleyan were slanted especially for t particular magazine and its student rca The articles were practical, informal am tertaining; the stories were gay, young, and modern. A unique feature of the editorial page was a column called As Wesleyannes Say It devoted to picturesque expressions, phrases, and descriptions. Also on these pages were car¬ toons, and a column of odd literary facts with a human interest angle. The College Slx)p[ er, an advertising fea¬ ture made gift suggestions and told where to purchase the articles. An attempt was made to encourage new writers. New members were appointed to the staff and all students inter¬ ested in w ' orking on the magazine, cither on the literary or business staffs, were given an opportunity to do so. A Scribes issue of the Wesleyan , devoted entirely to the most representative work of the club, replaced the tradi¬ tional Scribes page of poetry appearing in each issue. It was felt that this issue would give a better opportunity of expression to those Scribes whose literary ability was in a field other than poetry. The staff is proud of the progress made in restyling this publication. It is proud of the support given it by Wes¬ leyan students. Because of its many changes, because it is different in policy, makeup, and type of material included in it, the magazine deserves its title —The New Wesleyan .

Freshman Week the Council held its traditional Cootie Party ' in the gymnasium to honor the new girls. Several formal receptions in our Grand Parlor were given by the organization during the year. In the early fall the student body attended a reception entertaining the faculty and the new students. Then, in the spring semester the newly elected Student Council was honored at a formal reception by the outgoing officers and representatives. Delegates from the Council were sent to represent Wes¬ leyan at the annual meeting of the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Government. The conference this year was held at Shorter College. There, many helpful sug¬ gestions and ideas for student self-government were ob¬ tained from the lectures and discussion groups. Also, in February, the student officers of the College Government Association met with representatives from other Georgia colleges and universities to form a new Georgia Federa¬ tion of Student Government. In order to emphasize the responsibility of individual students or members of their organization the Student Council held several regular meetings open to the entire student body. The Council also has placed a box in the College Government office for student suggestions and initiated a system of self-reporting in an attempt to im¬ prove our honor system. Every Friday a student chapel is held presided over by the President of Student Government and the President of Y. W. C. A. Announcements and suggestions are read, plans made for the coming week and all student business discussed. This year student speakers and outside guests took part in the Friday chapel programs. We feel that progress this year has been made in the creating of a more perfect understanding between the Col¬ lege Government Association and the entire student body. We believe that in trying to make the student body a cooperative unit we are serving the best interests of our college. Student Government Officer E.

Town Re presen tat i i e The plan of Student Government is to awaken in the minds of stu¬ dents a knowledge and lively inter¬ est in the world into which she is to become a citizen. Its manage¬ ment encourages the student to be self-reliant and helps fit her for the part she is to take later in life, that of being a good citizen of a greater government. The fundamental purpose of the council is the development of the student in the broadest sense. By expecting voluntary loyalty the government liberates the student from coerced discipline, which ulti¬ mately gives her a personal convic¬ tion of what is right. We invaded a meeting to get this shot. Seated from left to right are: Lewis, Chapman, Baird, Parker, Ramsey, Fincher. -88- Where President Meets President This year’s Presidents Council started its various round of student activities with a get acquainted” party for the new girls and freshmen. Pajamas and the dormitory parlor created an in¬ formal atmosphere that put the rats at ease. As it is customary each year for the Presidents Council to entertain the new girls and the young men of Macon, in October an open house was held in the gymnasium. Vari-colorcd college pennants—colors of Wesleyan and Mercer carried out the theme for the occasion. Later on in the fall semester the group with Dr. and Mrs. Anderson invited the Miller High School Seniors to be guests of the college for a Macon Dormitory Day. A definite program was planned for the morning and in the after¬ noon the Freshmen for a Day” were entertained at the Anderson Cabin. The Council is composed of the Presidents of the major campus organizations, the four class presidents, and the editors of the student publications. The activities include work on the social college calendar for the year, the revision of the point system and the presentation of nominations for all officers and representatives of the major organizations. Nominations are made by Presidents Council and submitted to the student body for the final vote. With the annual staff the group of Presidents nominates outstanding seniors to be included in the feature section of the Veterropt. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL Eleanor McCary ....

A. has been a vital organization on the Wesleyan campus for forty-three years. It has sought to be a helping light to individuals to find themselves in this vast field of education and ex¬ perience. It declares its purpose to be: We unite in the desire to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him.” The various departments of the Y” strive to carry out this purpose. The Department of Social Activities enriches social living through informal parties and suppers, after-dinner coffees. Stunt Night, and the Christmas Banquet. The Social Service Department offers an oppor¬ tunity for serving others. It sponsors a Christmas tree for the servants, and Santa Claus” for their children. The Hephzibah Home children are made happy by Hallowe’en parties, Christmas gifts, Easter- egg hunts, wiener roasts, and visits from the Wes¬ leyan girls. Sarah Webb, Treasurer; Emily Hearn, Secretary, and Eleanor Shelton, Vice-President, meet in the Y room to plan the week ' s program. -90- I t ♦ ♦ � i RICHER CAMPUS LIFE I t A scene from the Christmas Banquet. Mental development is stimulated by the World Friendship and Industrial Commission groups. Music and Worship offer a chance for meditation, enjoy¬ ment, and enrichment. A day with ' Y” carries us from Morning Vk atch in the morning to Vespers and Taps when day is done. The Publicity Committee helps us become aware of events by bulletin boards, notices, and notes in the Watchtower. It spreads beauty by its various posters. This year the Dramatic Department has cooperated with the Y. W. C. A. in putting on a Christmas and Easter pageant. It joined with the Physical F ' duca- tion Department in promoting Charm Week. Several speakers gave elevating talks on this subject. The Y. W. C. A. tries to give girls a broader scope of world events. This year the Y” is attempting to develop a knowledge of current affairs by having in¬ formal discussion groups twice a month, and reviews of new books as cabinet studies. Serving as links between Y” Cabinet and the student body are Activity Council, Sophomore Council, Freshman Commission, and day student repre¬ sentatives. The chief aim is to make every student feel her vital connection with this organization and to grasp the opportunities that lie before her. he following member of V Cabinet are from left to right: Seated.

CURTAIN GOING i Thi: Thespian Dramatic Club is the only dramatic society on the campus and functions throughout the year with the dramatic department in present¬ ing its major productions. During the past year the club has sought to develop a new type of program which lends en¬ tertainment to both its members and the entire school. Come Let Us Adore Him a Christmas pag¬ eant presented at Sunday Vespers before the holi¬ days, was the first climax of the group’s activities. In March the club presented an Easter pageant under the direction of senior speech students. Dear Octopus, a touching, thoroughly human domestic drama was the first production of the Wesleyan Dramatic department this season. It is the story of Dora and Charles on their Golden Wedding Annive rsary and the return of their prodigal children. Margaret Hunter . Lucille Williams Emily McGee . . Mildred Fincher .

The group was organized in 193 5 and is connected with the Y. W. C. A. Not only has the Vesper Choir given musicalcs at school but it has also presented programs in the Sunday Schools, Churches, and Youth Conferences in Macon. The most impressive activity of the choir is the early morning carolling on the morning before Christmas vacation.

Vice-President Ranking among the most important organizations on the campus, the Debaters Council functions as an organization to promote interest in current affairs and the ability to discuss them intelligently. The central topic for debate this year has been Re¬ solved, That the United States should follow a policy of strict economic and military isolation toward all nations engaged in armed international or civil con¬ flict. A series of debates were run within the club to determine which members should represent the club in intercollegiate debates. This also gave every member a chance to obtain practical experience in debating. The members are chosen from those students whose scholastic standing and general ability in public speaking are above average. This membership was limited to twenty-five. 96 - Annie Laurie Kurtz . . . Secre ar 3 Geneva Giese. Treasure i Lee Rees. Debate Managt Chief Debater.

Each year the club presents the Leon P. Smith Award, a gold medallion, to the outstanding teacher of chemistry or geology in the southeastern states. This recognition is given to the man who has done the most for the furthering of science through his students. The first award was given to Dr. E. Emmett Reid of Johns Hopkins University on February 6, 1938. Dr. Samuel Guy of Emory Uni¬ versity was the recipient of the 1939 award. The medallion was given to Dr. Reid for his work among graduate students and to Dr. Guy for his influence on the scientific education of undergrad¬ uates. The Leon P. Smith Award is the only project of the Crucible Club. It is financed by a series of entertainments given by the club members. The Professor Whiz contest, a battle of wits between the faculty and students, is an annual affair given for this purpose. The award is given in memory of Dr. Leon P.

There are no monosy llabi mumblings of Oui” and non,” for all the meetings an conducted entirely in French. One must forget her Scot and English ancestors and speak French as if she were t only American at a party in Paris. Besides learning to speak French the members discus French life in all its phases. Famous authors, composers, artists, peasant customs, life in Paris, French history, French folk literature, and French chateaux and cathedrals are among the subjects on the programs. Students prepare and give the programs and conduct the meetings. The Cercle Francais is a decidedly active group—affil¬ iated with the National Alliance Francais and has as its purpose the stimulation of interest in the French language, literature, and life by keeping it conversationally alive among its members.

Sponsor Last year the Macon girls felt a need for a more complete organization in order to become more active in campus activities and to become better acquainted with each other. As a result the day students club was formed, holding its regular meetings twice each month in the Town Girls room of the gymnasium. During the meetings problems peculiar to Town Girls are discussed and informal get-togethers arc planned. ' This year the Macon girls .took an active part in aiding Presidents Council with the Macon Dormitory Day that was insti¬ tuted this year. At this time Miller High School seniors were freshmen for a day and members of the Town Girls Club served as guides and hostesses for the occasion.

A group of the older and more pcrienccd riders, seeing the need for such a club, met organized. Later, tryouts were held and new members mitted. Membership was not restricted to the riding cla but all students interested in equitation were cligibl. i- tryout. The judging was based on scat, hands and control of mount. During the first year of its existence the club’s chief project was the sponsorship of the annual spring horscsb.nv on Dormitory Day. The club did much to improve i lie- show by taking care of details such as ribbons, progr.m ushers and the like. Club members served as marshal made the awards.

Sponsor A brand new club that opened its eyes on the year 1940 with greatest anticipation! Students interested in gaining a broader knowledge of psychol ¬ ogy and alert to this intensely psychology-conscious world that we live in formed the Cyclo¬ thymic Club. We chose the name Cyclothymic because it means a progressive, enthusiastic and well-balanced individual—an ex¬ trovert—and this is the aim of each club member. During this past year we have been busy getting organized. Our program for 1940-44 is to raise money to offer a scholar¬ ship to the outstanding south¬ eastern student of psychology for the purpose of continuing his study. Some of the activities that we have sponsored are: the sale of personality, vocational, and I. Q. tests, to the students, and a field trip to the Milledgeville mental hospital to study the main classes of disorders at first hand by the Abnormal Psychology students. We are proud to have as our sponsor Dr. Raleigh Drake, who is invaluable to us because of his unflagging interest and inspira¬ tion. Membership in the club is based on interest in the subject and an average of B in General Psychology. - !07 - athletic A athletic board Ruth Hall. President Catherine Pate ....

Basketball follows close upon the retreating heels of soccer. The gymnasium flooded with lights is the scene of cxc grandstanders, swishing balls, and shrill blasts of the whistle. As basketball subsides into the background, the swimming meet claims the attention. The meet features efficient strokes and smooth diving, as well as original water stunts. Although tennis and golf are in season the entire year, the tournaments arc held in the spring Other sports s P onsorc during the year are: hiking, badminton, bicycling, ping-pong, hockey, baseball, and horseback riding. One of the c . events of the year is the horseshow, with sleek horses, gayly attired riders, ringmaster, and blue ribbons. The sports carnival in honor of the whole student body is an innovation of the year 19)9-40, featuring music floor- show, and various side attractions. Among other new plans is Health Week, with emphasis on correct posture and climaxed with the selection of Miss Health.

Town Reprcsenta A major campus organization! Membership—every student—the Conservatory Athletic Association! The Athletic Board, patterned along lines of the College Organization, is composed of a representative group selected by the students. Throughout the years that we have had an Athletic Board such activities as tennis, horseback riding, ping- pong, bicycling, baseball, hockey, and badminton have been stressed. This year creative dancing has been a major interest of the Athletic Association. The Athletic Association sponsors entertainments of different sorts such as banquets, hay rides, wiener roasts, and cabarets. The Association is primarily an auxiliary to the Department of Physical Education, but its program is one that lays emphasis on something bigger than mere athletic prowess—emphasis on fine standards of behavior, fairness in decisions and the beauty of fair play. 11Lateu of the Purple Members: R.

To win a W,” a girl must cam 500 points by participating in soccer, basketball, swimming, tennis, golf, and horseback riding. The better her team docs in inter-class competition, the more points she receives. The points must be earned in one year, and each succeeding year that a girl earns 500 points, she receives a star.

The seniors have gone to the final games for three years but not until this last time were their green and gold colors placed on the soccer cup in the trophy room. Very few girls had played soccer before they came to Wesleyan, but under the tutelage of Miss Cartledge and Miss DuPuis the freshmen soon came to love the game and to develop skill in passing and dribbling.

From the starting whistle to the last two points in the game both forwards and guards were on their toes. Accuracy and quick coop¬ eration lent to the season an intense excitement, while it never lacked for excellent play and good sportsman¬ ship. The scries of games ended with the Senior Class of 40 winning a second championship of the year. On February 2 5, the freshmen met the sophomores and juniors played seniors. The sister classes, sopho¬ mores and seniors, were victorious. In the second round the winners played the winners and the losers the losers. The seniors again won, defeating the soph¬ omores 40-31.

PHONE 3100 - 145- Emory University ATLANTA, GEORGIA OUNDED IN 1836 as a liberal arts college, moved to a new and modern plant following its enlargement into a University in 1915, Emory combines the best of the old in higher education with the best of the new. From the beginning this institution has striven for quality rather than quantity in its student body. The University today, consequently, is small enough for friendly, inspiring relations between students and faculty, yet large enough for the broadening, cultural influence that comes from contact with men in many fields of learning. Emory’s 235-acre campus of rolling woodland is located in the beautiful Druid Hills section of Atlanta, six miles from the heart of the city. There are eighteen buildings of Georgia marble and concrete, constructed along distinctive lines of archi¬ tecture and providing the most up-to-date facilities for study and student life. The University operates on the four-quarter basis. By attending school in the Summer Quarter, which carries the same credit as each of the three quarters in the regular scholastic year, student may finish his college course in three years. Emory is fully approved by the Associations of American Universities, the highest of all the accrediting agencies, and each of its professional schools holds an “A” rating in its respective field. The Emory Junior Colleges at Oxford and Valdosta, Georgia, are integral parts of the University System.
