There is so much that is above and beyond the tangible school that we see here; so much that is not wholly concerned with books and lessons ... it is the Spirit, the Life, that makes one school different from any other, more loved than any other. That is what this book has tried to catch. This is our life at Wesleyan. This is Wesleyan. conitnTS THE COLLEGE THE CLASSES THE CONSERVATORY THE ORGANIZATIONS THE ATHLETICS THE FEATURES Mount Vernon Porch uhcn the JogwooJ trees are in bloom. DEDICDTIOn In a day when college students are condemned for frivolity, we, the seniors of 1942 dedicate this book to Dr. Claude Watson Bruce, professor of Mathe¬ matics and Astronomy. We dedicate it to him be¬ cause he is a man to whom serious students may turn for aid, and never turn in vain. Because he excels in his chief professional characteristic, in¬ telligence; because the fun he has with his mind” encourages us to be more interested in academic pursuits; because he shows infinite patience in teaching to us the things he sees so simply; becau his genius is unobtrusive, carefully concealed by hn modesty, we give to him our deepest admiration and dedicate to him our book.

We came, we saw, wc conquered.” Into the gates of knowledge flocked the class of 45—1 JO strong. Very much bewildered and excited, to say nothing of being a little frightened, wc were shown to our rooms We met our roommates, and then the bells began ringing. Our first week of college life was spent in dashing to and from dear old Science Hall, where many confusing placement tests were given. Once placed we lined up for registration which took what seemed to • an eternity, finding classrooms, and arriving at the appointed place at the right time was something yet again. But we soon slowed down to a fast gallop took time out to catch our breath, and a light cloak of study settled over Freshman dorm.

Excitement and happiness reigned in each of us as we proudly went to the banquet. We sang songs to each class as they in turn sang to us, and we knew at that moment the true meaning of college spirit. Being a true Tri-K class, defeat was impossible, even in the finals, when we tied the seniors, in a never-to-be-forgotten game. Stunt night made its appearance suddenly and although as actors we make better soccer players, we enjoyed the event tremendously. We have all made a solemn vow that next year will tell a different story, and the Tri-K’s will come out on the top where they should be. Tuesday night, December 16, we donned white dresses, carried indi¬ vidual candles, and attended our first Wesleyan Christmas banquet. The decorations were complete with a musical Christmas tree, and candle light. We ate for hours, sang carols, and left feeling very Christmasy.” Sure enough, holidays were just four and a half trips around the clock away. Early, early, Friday morning we put candles in our win¬ dows so the carolers would sing for us. Classes were vaguely met that day, but spirits brightened as the hour neared to go home to our own Mr. and Mrs. Claus. January 5 found us eagerly opening up our rooms, talking to every¬ one about our glorious vacation and finally down to exams. Then came basketball, swimming, and classes. So went our first year—it s great to be a Wesleyanne. Left: What drudgery these classes! But at least they re smiling. Belou: St andifer, Sarah , and Kathryn napped near Science Rat Day.

SOPHOmORES Not an object, not a spirit, i ague of shape and lacking size; Many girls I lead to glory, urging on uitb constant cries. Inside and out ni green and yellou , always debonair and sport). Now you knou uithout a doubt—Vm the Alarm of Four and forty!” I’m not like an ordinary alarm clock, nor am I the siren type. In fact I have a personality all my own, and after a year’s experience my stimulating influ¬ ence on the Green and Yellow class is more efficient than ever. I’ll have to admit that in my infancy, I made some serious mistakes. Wesleyan sort a scared me at first, and due to my bashful silence, the freshmen received a thorough soaking in Golden Heart dish¬ water. Unfortunately that didn’t mean the end of my tongue tiedness, for I persisted in acting like a kinder¬ garten kid and merely whimpered upon coming in last at Stunt Night. Soccer was likewise a sad story, but after Christ¬ mas things improved. Strangely enough, I began to realize my vocal possibilities. By clear and frequent warnings, I aroused my girls into a basketball victory over the sophomores, outstanding honors in the horse- show, and first place in the swimming meet. By the spring dance, I was so hoarse from excite¬ ment that I had to go to bed and miss the fun. However I convalesced enough during May to ring out the thrilling announcement that with special per¬ mission freshmen could triple date and leave the campus. Exams soon forced a final silencer on me, and I settled down until the end of the summer when I would resume activity. kay pridgfn Mji rot 36 CLASS Of ’44 Now summer is gone, fall is almost over, and I think I’ve put out some praiseworthy effort since September. First I delighted the new sophomores by pointing out to them the abundance of handsome uniforms strolling around the campus and revealing that they could go to any of the favorite jook joints by simply double dating. Tliis vv underfill prospect even reconciled them to extra studs ng on all those hard subjects they didn’t elect last year. U )bers of the Green and Yellow were thrilled when 1 mi. sled an official Rat Day rather than a surprise an on those new Tri-K’s. They worked out a routine, com| :c with paper bag rat hats, my air raid alarms, and uvenient little services to the sophomores. In iiccer, the sophs defeated the juniors, 4 to 2, but alani I me considerably by admitting that both the frosli md seniors were unbeatable. I h apoppin ,” depicting Camp Wheeler School for Bos s as judged second only to the senior stunt, and tin is quite an up-hill stride from fourth place last year. Noi long ago, I had to shock the girls with two up¬ setting items: (1) They couldn’t meet boys at the pharm at night any more; (2) Three sophomores were joining the ranks of newdy-weds, and that meant wed¬ ding presents. I ven more spectacular and unpleasant was my signal that the United States had declared w ' ar. But the Christ- m.i spirit caught the sophs, and they realized that there w in still something to live for. Making the best, as un !. of an alarming situation, they’re cheerfully drill- m. m the halls these days. A determined idea is pos¬ seting them that will defeat any other class on any field i. year at Wesleyan. Roberta Jones. 7:41 A.

Freshmen rolls off our tongues as easily as our feet fit into those old saddle shoes, for well never get over the freshmen feeling or want to. And though we are so used to every bend and turn in the dorms and Tate that we can find our way in the dark (as we had to prove during that nightmarish blackout before our worst exam last year), and though know now just when to break our mental set when going down to the Amphitheater in Science, we’ll never forget the first time we saw Wesleyan College—the chilly thrill we had when we gave ourselves up to those calm, friendly Wesleyannes in blue and white and purple and white and suddenly found ourselves standing in our college room. Questionnaires still call up terrors of the first quizzing stage of the Bachelor of Arts Degree. There were bumps in our freshmen throats when we lost the soccer games, but we choked down different kinds of lumps—lumps that won t ever go way—as we sang to our big sisters and caught a bit of Wesleyan on our first Thanksgiving Day lere. And then came our initial college stage fright, stum night, and the beat of our golden hearts when So Red the ° Har f won first P la ce. These freshmen memories are a part of us. We almost forgot and told Mr. Douglas to send our bags to Sophomore as we stumbled off at midnight at the Wes¬ leyan station this year. It seemed like we ought to be going back to Sophomore, to the halls that echoed with the mystery of that eerie shriek, and to the parlor where we practiced our stunt and gath¬ ered in disappointment after it Hit and Missed by a third place. It was as sophomores that we tied the gold and white colors to the Soccer Championship Cup! Greeting the freshmen with a bang, the heartache of losing basketball, the loveliness of our first Wes¬ leyan dance, the solemn mo¬ ment when we dropped the hood over our dearest senior’s head, and goodby to a sister we are still lonely for—these memories will always make us a bit of a soph. 44 ■ But now its up with the banners bright for the Jun¬ iors. We love those memories, but right at the moment we arc knowing the greatest thrill of all, being a big sister. Nobody knows how we love those new Tri-K s. There are many missing links in our junior gold chain of friendship now, and we miss them dreadfully. We’ve had to develop multiple personalities, forget that we never could kick a ball further than a foot away, and entertain delusions of grandeui seeing ourselves pass the senior test and making the swimming team all in one year. But one of our deepest junior K ' mgs is the close knit sensation we have at class meetings a dormitory room, and midnight war and peace bull sc ns of the whole pajamacd class. Mary Bell ' s ready for dinner, but what a rush Marianna is in! Hair rolled up and suit case packed. To¬ morrow must be Friday for Nell. But now our history is becoming present front-mind news. We arc looking ahead, wondering Can we ever feel like seniors? Do we honestly have caps and gowns next year? Yes, there is one more grand college feeling yet! We’re part freshmen, with some of the lazy soph in our bones, juniors, but definitely, and though we can’t believe it, seniors-to-be, but most of all we’re Golden Hearts through and through. We didn’t know any spectator sympathetic pains this year, for the shins of the junior class were exposed as a body in the heartache of the soccer defeat; and though the dilemma of the class of 28 got only third place, every Golden Heart was in its fate. There’s a little red skooter you might call a landmark in this every-day doing of things together. Wesleyan was aglow with the torch parade of the juniors and the freshmen, and Junior-Senior seemed right again with the dear old Tri-K’s back Thanksgiving. A long, long trail of lighted candles down the banquet table and carols in the frosty air made our junior Christmas at Wesleyan even happier than the others. % The day teas long and bard.

Stillwell, SvIHvaa, fotWrluJ • Brttom n i - Wu M., Wm, S., Villcox, Vtlwom The earth is a wide plain on which can be found at unequal intervals numerous educational institutions. Georgia is one of the forty-eight states in one of the many countries that are situated on the face of this great plain. Wesleyan is one of a number of educational institutions which arc in the state of Georgia. Why, then, out of all this great plain, did we choose Wesleyan to be our Alma Mater? Some say it was Mrs. Wiggins, others say it was a family tradition, and still others say it was the red bricks and white columns that first captivated them. But now we have found out that Mrs. Wiggins was right— The buildings arc easily accessible, the dining room is beautiful, and three-piece suits arc the best buy for college wear. What is more important, we have dis¬ covered a spirit in the place that has made us understand why it is a family tradition to come here. Behind the red bricks is something more than a bare education, something dearer than a bundle of books. We have found not mere food for the mind but food for the soul. OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS —Left to right: Ruby Maloy, Tretiurer; Margaret G. Smith, Vice-PreuJent; Martha Akin, Secret try; Mary Stewart Becking, PreiiJent. u) e s l e y r n CLASS Traditions, silence, friends mean more to us now. A friend is no longer a person with whom to gossip and talk about another person; it is a rare being to whom you may express your ideas and ideals. We can remember nightly gatherings— arguments without hard feelings, and then leaving with a sense of something gained in those late hours. When we graduate, must we lose these friends? We have found that silence is invaluable. It is in those too infre¬ quent moments that pure thought is kindled and ideas run rampant through the brain until they are gathered and combined in the next moment of silence. Singing, cabin parties, candlelight banquets, pharm trips, bacon sand¬ wiches, little sisters, potatoes and ice cream—have all become tradi¬ tions and there would be a gap if we were to lay even one aside. These arc the memories we will keep. We have learned how to take de¬ feats as well as victories. We lost in soccer three years, but finally in the fourth we tied for winning place with the freshmen.

All Jrtatl l „J I hr ing, but our last two years we found the secret of winning the stunts —maybe it was judge-appeal. As freshmen our Ferdinand the Bull Frog won audience’s hearts and first place in the swimming meet. Our sophomore year we won the entire meet. Basketball has always been another story until our senior year when we won this too. We have seen many things happen in four years; from the advent of dancing to an indefinite time for lights at night. We look forward to other changes. But we know one thing will never change—the spirit of the emblem of all that is grand. ' Thus we shall depart with trust in this spirit.

The four years are telescoped now so that they form a single impres¬ sion that evades words but leaves you with a glow when you think about it. College began with a bang for us—that bang being our respective egos hitting a new low. We, who were just three months removed from our awe-inspiring status as high school seniors, became lowly rats— subject to the contempt of upperclassmen. For some of us it was the first experience in give and take —with emphasis on the take. We can’t say that we emerged from that first year without scars, but along with those we got our first priceless lessons in the art of living. With our sophomore year came the beginning of dignity—which we were careful to keep under cover until we were off-campus; how¬ ever, we found consolation and balm for our wounded spirits in that year ' s glorious concert series. Things happened so fast during our third year that we were forced to leave off our introspective musings. In September we unpacked in Wesleyan ' s first wall-papered rooms—with new furniture and full- length mirrors. The privilege of voluntary class attendance—if your name were among the blest on the Dean ' s list—lent an almost ethereal atmosphere to the year. And now, for the second time in our lives, we arc on a threshold. We arc more fully equipped, not only with factual knowledge, but with a knowledge that we must rely upon to show us the way when we arc on other thresholds. SEniOR CLASS t Last Round Up.

By now you’re probably thinking your darling infant ain’t nothing but a social butterfly—t’aint so. We’ve beaten on those pianos so much till Norma and Kathleen de¬ clare the darn things fold up on their knees and beg for mercy every time they go in the practice rooms.

Our whole¬ some number consists of four thorough-bred Wcsleyanncs, two trans¬ fers, and one Wcsley-Tom, who incidentally seems to be topping with his rank of president. It doesn’t seem that just last year we were seven unsuspecting fresh¬ men, brought together by old friend Fate—everyone thinking himself prc-educated and feeling it to be a sharp inconvenience that we must slide through four years to get that diploma he wanted so much! Yes—we knew sve had the wisdom of the world! Well, here we arc just sophomores and we’ve found we aren’t quite so wise—but, we’ve got that spark of determination. We know that’s what it takes.

STUDEDT GOVERnmEDT The object of the Conservatory Government is to represent and further the interests of the Student Body and to promote responsibility, self- control, and loyalty among the students. Meetings of the Council are held each week in the newly-decorated council room. Plans and prob¬ lems of each department arc discussed, and thus a greater cooperation is maintained. The Council promotes various social activities for the students. During this year the students have enjoyed an Open House in honor of the new students, and several formal dances in the spacious parlors of the Conservatory. The students also had the pleasure of dedicating a new barbecue pit on back campus, which will be a source of enter¬ tainment for Conservatory students in future years. The chief aim of this group is to promote cooperation, the true Wesleyan spirit.

The Wesleyan Glee Club reorganized during 1941-1942, combining the Rivoli and the Conservatory members into one group. Aside fr om the regular ensemble, there are special groups of trios and quartets that have added to the Glee Club programs. An outstanding event of the year was held on President Roosevelt’s birthday when the club sang at the Birthday Ball. An organization on campus such as the Glee Club gives opportunity for young composers of choral musiv to hear their compositions sung. It also affords a chance for students to learn ensemble singing and effects.

DRAMATIC CLUB This year the Conservatory and College joined forces to organize a Dramatic Club that is unrivaled in the history of the department. The othccrs of the club, headed by Flora Etta Swain as president, planned and executed a series of unusually entertaining programs which were open to the student body. One of the highlights of the year was a group of one-act plays staged by members of the directing class. Play reviews and discussions of the stage also afforded theatre-minded Wesleyanncs many pleasant evenings. Much credit is due Miss Simonson who as sponsor offered invaluable aid and advice. Interesting and varied plans have been made for next year, and the Dramatic Club promises to become one of the most outstanding or¬ ganizations on the campus.

To do this has required the close cooperation of the entire staff, and the success of the book makes the effort worth while. The Veterropt is indebted to Mr. George Collins lor his assistance in making pictures for the annual. Without his help, much of the pic¬ torial work would have been impossible to accompli ' - ' The success of this volume, as always, depends upon ns value to each student, and in this the entire staff hopes that it has esented some- thing of lasting worth.

In planning The Wesleyan of 1941-42, the staff has sought to present material which students will enjoy reading, and find interesting and helpful. Believing that a student publication should be de¬ signed primarily for student pleasure and information rather than for faculty criticism, we have tried to eliminate the practice of using themes and stories which were written for class assignn its. Instead, we have tried to encourage writing for l e love of it. Contributions have not been limited t- the work of English majors. Wc have sought new t ... nt, and have found writers of promise in the fresht. and sopho¬ more classes as well as among the jum. ind seniors. Five issues of The Wesleyan were blished this year. These issues contained amusing .on, poetry, helpful and informational articles, bo. reviews, and several new features which appeared - ;ularly. An Ear To The Ground was a column of amusing in¬ cidents which happen on the campus and off, to students and faculty members.

First, to present accurately and interestingly the campus activities. Second, to give to the student body, intelligent leadership for progressive measures. The third purpose is to train good journalists in the impartial and ethical presentation of all phases of a newspaper by actually working on a publication. This year the staff has tried to make managing the p .per a bit easier. A style sheet, setting down in black and u.tc exactly what could and could not be capitalized, al l re- viated, etc., was drawn up and presented to all the rep- ier and to the journalism class. Journalism 201 has served as additional reporters fn. ihe Watcht outer this year. The assignments were given - the editors to the class and they were turned in as ws stories upon which they received a grade. The co-ope i Si i 7 114 T 0 Ul f R system helped the staff and the printing of the articles helped the journalism students. A new feature, Swap, was used to alternate with Orchids and Onions. The Swap column replaced the seldom read exchange column. Orchids and Onions gave praise where need d and dished out the onions as the staff saw the cam¬ pus m one. i ving from the policy of the editors of recent years, t Hi v oar’s staff made the editorials into a regular column. Tlu position of the editorial page was moved from the last pap to the second page. i , Watchtowcr is proud to say that we approve heartily of - new changes on the campus and feel it has done its p x to help the students adjust themselves to the changes. Tli editorial policy of the paper has always been one of rctoun. Interpretative comments concerning pertinent campus and national affairs were carried in the paper. Edi¬ torial policy backed the fight against Talmadge dictatorship of education although the governor’s policies did not di¬ rectly affect Wesleyan. A spring style show, sponsored by the Watchtowcr , was held in January to promote better posture and call atten¬ tion to the fashion-right clothes as well as the campus- right clothes. Throughout the year the Watchtowcr has supported the 11 us worthwhile campus organizations and has tried to 1 college and conservatory girls to become better ac- onted. A Watchtowcr staff was selected from the con- s itory and has functioned this year.

With a newly decorn ted office and new lavender jerkins, the Student Govern¬ ment Association starred off the year with determined enthusiasm to make this year a happy d profitable one for all Wesleyanne Together with J A, A. at the bi-annual retreat— id at the An¬ derson Cabin before , hool opened in September—we mad dans for orien¬ tation week, and d ussed aims and objectives for the o ng year. On the day school tpened, members of Student Govern nt, dressed in white skirts and lav der jerkins, wel¬ comed the new students and helped them become acquainted with the Oldest and Best. During orientation week, the Stu¬ dent Government gave a wiener roast at the cabin honoring the freshmen. At the beginning of this year, Stu¬ dent Government members held hand¬ book classes for the freshmen. At this time all college customs and tradi¬ tions, as well as rules and regulations, were discussed and explained. The annual student-faculty recep¬ tion, given by Student Government, was held in the Grand Parlor in the early fall. Other activities for this year in¬ clude placing new absence books in each dormitory for the convenience ot students, posting a social calendar at the beginning of each semester, post¬ ing a definite list of approved recrea¬ tional centers Wesleyan students may attend, making a scrapbook of all social events, and putting up signs every election day reminding students to vote. ELIZABETH MARTIN Preiiimt COLLEGE GOVERndlEDT The Student Council carried out other plans during the second half of the year—more places were planned for the students to en¬ tertain dates, open council meetings were held, and a reception for new council mem¬ bers was planned in the spring. Student Government strives for a closer and more nearly perfect understanding be¬ tween the students and the College Gov¬ ernment. The council feels responsible for understanding the interests of the students, and the students in turn should accept the responsibility of upholding the standards of our college by living in accordance with the regulations. In this way, we can make the Student Government Association of Wes¬ leyan College a government of the students, by the students, and for the students.

Although members of the club originally devoted their time to poetry, in r, years the Scribes have broadened their field to include all types ot prose as well. This year the society has given a series of Sunday afternoon n an effort to stimulate interest in literature and creative writing campus. Speakers at the literary gatherings during the year in led Mrs. Anne Griffin, who gave an original Southern sketch.

DEBRTERS’ C 0 U n CIL The Debaters Council is an independent organization and not a part of the Speech Department. It is open to all Wesleyan students who show a definite interest in current events as well as debating. Interest, rather than ability, is the basis for entrance try-outs. A debating team is chosen by means of an elimination tournament. The subject for debate for the year 1941-1942 has been: Resolved, That the Federal Government should regulate by law all labor unions in the United States.

This is one of the purposes of the Wesleyan French Club. Only French is spoken at the meetings, from the secretary’s reading of the minutes to the social conversation over refreshments. The stu¬ dents themselves prepare and give the programs on French life, such as art, literature, music, architecture, and history. The Ccrclc Francais of Wesleyan is affiliated with the National Alliance Francaise.

From soccer games in the fall to the horse show on Dormitory Day in the late spr.ng, the schedule is filled with activity. The ping-pong tournament gets things ofl to a good start in the early fall and helps pass the time away until the soccer tournament. Immediately following the big Thanksgiving festivity and the finals in th. ccer, a minton starts and carries the activity up to M.stmas In the midst of all this competition tin ■ something going on around the gym with eh es ey- annes can pass away the time.

On the heels of the basketball games everyone begins splashing about in the swimming pool with the hope of making the swimming team. , Then comes the time of good fun and fellowship when girls come from all over the south for dormitory day and all the horse-back riding talent of the school springs forth. Along about this same time singles and doubles tennis matches arc held. To finish things up in grand style and to relieve the tension that comes with exams, everybody turns out for a good time on the baseball diamond. So ends our year. Outside of the ordinary routine of the year’s program the Athletic Association has placed in the Athletic Room a plaque on which arc to be engraved the names of two seniors each year who have proved to be most athletic and at the same time have displayed the best sportsmanship during their entire four years at Wesleyan. In co-opera¬ tion with the Y” and Student Government organizations the play room was repainted and new equipment was pur- chased.

Teams i’c chosen before Spring holidays and the girls bring their iits back from home—ready to spend their extra time in ' he pool. However, a girl does not have to be an excellent wimmer to enjoy the pool. Beginners classes arc held twice i week and every Wesleyanne learns to swim during her tour years at Wesleyan. ( Courses in life-saving and water safety arc given by students who have become Red Cross instructors through cooperation with the Macon Red Cross. The swimming meet is the high-light of the spring. Each class participates in the various races: American crawl, breast stroke, and back stroke. There is also competition between classes in perfection of the different styles of swimming: American crawl, breast stroke, back stroke, Australian crawl, side stroke, and English over-arm crawl. Many limber-legged Wesleyannes show their ability on the ring board: jack-knives, back dives, swans, twists, and any others. Each class presents a water stunt after the races, form , dimming, and diving has been completed. 1 hese stunts iay be in a skit form or synchronized swimming. These tints arc all original and each member of the team takes part. 4 June Foley Joes a beautiful jack! Ready for a race — Foley, Cecile Sutherland , Olliff, Brandon ginia Sutherland. The swimming meet is held too late in the year for pic¬ tures to be taken for the annual.

A little ashamed of the tag ' ' Minor Sports” and pessimistic about ever attaining majority, these activities, like most humans not quite 21, nevertheless prove well able to speak for themselves. In the fall, a tricky ping-pong ball taunts many into a hard and fast tournament, in which some determined girl will end up mistress of the bouncing white spheres. Martha Aiken of Atlanta was victorious this fall. Badminton reopens competition, appealing to those who are more aerial-minded. Betty King of Anderson, S.

MODERN DANCE —left to right: Stillwell. Wright, Weaver, Betty Allen. Mamie C.nftin. McPherjon. McClellan, Pulliam. TAP DANCING—Lindsey, Allcorn, Jones. Before soccer really sets in, freshmen find time to tear up ground on the hockey field and wish that there were more such oppor¬ tunities in a tournament. In anxious anticipation of balmy Love’ly spring, girls can be seen as the second se¬ mester begins leaping across the gyn in a creative modern dance or beating it out with temperamental tape. It s a good out for innate rhythm despite chronic acin and pains. Finally warm weather gets back row i to Georgia.
