THE ARCHER’S HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS Hi: IIIC A ! IIIN At graduation when it is intensely real to us who has made this achievement most complete, we Seniors of 194 ) dedicate our Veterropt to Mr. Silas Johnson. In the greatest crisis he did what seemed impossible and kept our Wesleyan, the oldest and best. And at the same time that he was solving the greatest problem of Wesleyannes he gave himself to us as our own sin- cerest friend in our individual problems, interests, and hopes. Sharing with us all the knowl¬ edge about our school, he inspired us by that trust. He made us laugh in those uncertain days with his warm teasing smile. We have been strengthened by his wisdom, his very active faith, and his genuine readiness to face problems and build his plans on reality. He simply and won¬ der! ully taught us a big lesson, not offered in many colleges or many experiences, the grandness of one who can lose himself in an unselfish purpose. We were happy when Florida Southern College recognized the worth of our Mr. Johnson by conferring on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. For his sincerity and for the inspiration of his grand way of living and for his thoughtful interest in us individually, we dedicate our book to our finest friend, Mr. Johnson. 4 4k V SILAS JOHNSON.

Fierce struggles over the soccer ball, the breathless rivalry of green and gold on Stunt Night, funereal dirges and Soph or Frosh going up in smoke from the mound—this is class spirit. Sisters, walks to the pharm, notes on days that we love to remember, just the slight wrinkle around the eyes as sister passes sister on the way to class, the solemn pride of hooding—this is class spirit. And on Thanksgiving this spirit is caught in a song, rivalry mixed with honest admiration, and the refrain of Auld Lang Syne. The Freshman with their vitality, the Sopho¬ mores with their confident plans, the Juniors with their organization, the Seniors with their understanding make the complete, exciting spirit of Wesleyan. sim mi officers FOUR GOLDEN HEART YEARS: One to grow on—the joy or firsts; the first view of Wesleyan, the first Thanks¬ giving, the first strain of a Christmas carol beneath a candlelit window, the first major victory —first place on stunt night. One to be harum-scarum on— Hit and Muss, the call of the wild one midnight, championship in soccer, and the solemn climax—hooding the big sister. One to become very close together on—breaks in the golden chain and the closer pulling together of the old links, little sisters, the suffering of the collective shins in soccer. One to wish on—to wish that these four years might not be the last here, or if that can’t be, that we can keep on growing on these four years in one. Wishing on the evening star over Wesleyan has taught us that the best is yet to be. So we’ve still got that old four-in-onc feeling. We’ve a bit of the freshman in our hearts, some of the lazy soph in our bones, the deep friendship of that busily-shared junior year grasped close, and the sad thrill of a senior in our very fingertips; but most of all, as we stand on that top step, we are Golden Hearts through and through. 23 MARY PAIGE ADAMS Greensboro, Georgia ENGLISH Paige was president of the class her Junior year.

' b “« —on, and date,. S I A P S First there was a glorious age of the high school Senior and the approach to college. We were timid, but came with high hopes for success at Wesleyan. Then came the Dark Ages. We returned to a dormitory with greasy doorknobs, soapy water on the floor, tooth brushes and soap in the bathtubs, and a terrific state of confusion. The Freshmen were being ratted. Our revenge was Miss Vaughn’s noble act of restricting the Sophomores for two weeks. The Dark Ages continued through the soccer season and Stunt Night. But we found some talent in our class and the Renaissance started when we beat the Sophomores at basketball. It continued when we placed first in the swimming meet. Ratting the Freshmen was a grand success. They fell on the ground to the veil of Air Raid, Freshmen!” until their knees were made nubs. Waiting until the soccer season to get revenge, the Freshmen nearly tore our hair out in a free-for-all. c tried hard to keep our class out of the darkness of our previous defeats but soccer get the best of us again. We made a come-back by being awarded second place at Stunt Night for our great production Bellzapoppin.” Our place was also second in the swimming meet. Being Juniors gave us a motherly feeling for our newly acquired Freshmen sisters but they soon proved to be more like sisters than children. Thankfully we subtracted a recently added ten years from our age. boy-crazy Sophomores have made capable Juniors. Proof is our rise in the soccer season. Only were we defeated in the finals by our Fcrshmen sisters. 7 To add more proof of our rise from the Dark Ages, we came to a victorious first place with in the class stunt. The men are thinning out but we still have an eye for pleasing them. our sarongs and hula girls We cannot forget the Dark Ages but they hope that next year will bring the heights and arc to us now a thing of the past, glory of success. The Renaissance has started and we 42 Alda Alexander Macon, Ga. 43 Betty Allen Milledgeville, Ga. Martha Amyx . Mary Frances Ansley . Atlanta, Ga. Hilliard, Fla. Mildred Bovaird .

We missed it with the deep unexpressed feeling with which one misses an old friend. It had been home to us for so long. We kept remembering thos first scared moments we spent here, the nights so frequently disturbed by the clang of bells and fire-alarms, the tuss and fun of Rat Day, our soccer victories, our first Thanksgiving banquet—and oh, so many things that made up our Freshman year at Wesleyan. The dormitory was a part of all that; its walls had watched over us, and had seen our happiest and saddest hours. That spirit didn’t last very long however. It’s good to be a Sophomore, to be one rung higher in our ladder of achievement, and yes, to spend those first weeks wondering how we can rat”—instead of shivering from fear. It’s grand to see the old friends again, to gather for the long talks we’ve missed during the past summer months. To our extreme joy, Rat Day was not long in coming. The Freshman although not quite so jubilant, were good sports about it all. We have found many friends in their class. Soon came soccer, but we don’t talk about that. The Thanksgiving banquet was beautiful; we had tears in our eyes as we sang to our big sisters who won’t be here next year. Then Stunt Night, another unmentionable. The Christmas banquet, the carols, and the excitement of a month’s vacation mingled to form a very confused week. We came back with the feeling that we had forgotten everything we ever knew. Exams proved that we weren’t far wrong, and burning the midnight oil” is no idle expression. We have many things before us as well as many behind us. That is the joy of being a Sophomore. 51 � | Lois Anderson Marianne Arnold . Louise Avera . Betty Beall . . Emily Bell . . Jeanne Benefield . . Norma Jean Borland Palm Beach, Fla. . Elberton, Ga. .

Kathleen B.ect. A SENIOR’S THOUGHTS . . . There is a blessed spot I know where towers reach up to form a link between earth and heaven. A cherished place that has been dear to many generations and now is dear to me. Time cannot take from me its memory, it cannot fill with lesser things the place it occupies within my heart. Four years my sojourn here has lasted. And four years I have lived, for who can come here and not live, not gather the strength and richness of so great a place. It has become a part of me and I of it. In years to come when I return to wander once again through treasured halls, each corner will cry out its harbored memory. And I shall yearn to be young forever, for my heart will ache to return and live again as I used to live. But I know that such a thing could never be. 1 must go and leave my place for others that they too may have it to love. I am a senior and all the world lies before me. When I depart a bit of my heart will remain here always in this blessed spot . . . this Wesleyan. Prissy in the park.

You know how it is—after dinner we all gather in one room to chat and somehow tonight the conservation got started on what the Junior Class had been doing the past three years. Remember, I wrote you about the first dance ever held at Wesleyan? That was when Bill sent me an orchid and one of all things I’d bought a new red evening dress! (I forgot to send you the bill.) And all our other socials, wiener roasts, scavenger hunts, etc., ah—what memories they conjur. Next year will be just as much fun too. Now, don ' t look like that, Mom. You ' re thinking your darling child is only a social-butterfly. Now that’s not so. We ' ve pounded on those typewriters till Betty and Ethel Orr declare they’re going to collapse. And Marion could do shorthand in her sleep. I really wish you could see the drawings and models that Frances and Gloria turn out. Honest, they ' re swell! And as Martha, the maid, put it, Vir¬ ginia sure bears down on the piano. I guess 1 need Carol to tell you about these things, she had a whole vocabulary of two-bit words she learned here. Gosh, it ' s getting late, and as usual, we’re scouting around to see if anyone has any food; there ' s nothing like a midnight feast. Uh—I know how the sugar situa¬ tion is, but, well—a cake, or something from home would certainly be heavenly. Your loving daughter. junior CLASS 90 Jill IIIIIS Mary Alice Bfnnett . . . Eastman, Ga.

STIIIIEi T GOVERNMENT The object of the Conservatory Government is to represent and further the interests of the Student Body and to promote re¬ sponsibility, self-control, and loyalty among the students. Meet¬ ings of the Council are held each week in the council room. Plans and problems of each department are discussed, and thus a greater co-operation is maintained. The Council promotes various social activities for the stu¬ dents. During this year we have enjoyed an Open House in honor of the new students, and several formal dances in the spacious halls of the Conservatory. The students have also had wiener roasts and many other social activities on the campus. The chief aim of this group is to promote co-operation, and cultivate the true Wesleyan spirit.

JANE METHVIN President The Wesleyan Glee Club, under the di¬ rection of Miss Rae Stubbs began this year’s program with a Christmas Concert at the Conservatory Chapel. The club plans to make these Christmas Concerts a part of its annual performances. A con¬ cert in the spring, one at Robin’s Field, and a third at the recreation center will complete this year’s fund of entertain¬ ment. The Glee Club is one of the active student groups on the campus. It is com¬ posed of both Rivoli and Conservatory students, who must maintain satisfactory standing in regular courses of study in order to remain members. The musical activity of the organiza¬ tion is combined with a spirit of en¬ thusiastic fellowship and recreation. MISS STUBBS Director m mi: The Conservatory Art Club was organized last year for the purpose of broadening the student’s out¬ look on art. During the year we have informal gatherings for the discussion of the problems every student artist confronts. Outside speakers enrich our viewpoint. Although the present conditions might strip the world of its beauty, it is for the young artist to rebuild that beauty in the world to come. THE PIHII Ulllt The Piano Club has been an outstanding organization in the musical activities of the Conservatory this year. In connection with the piano literature studied many lectures and interesting recitals, both student and faculty, have been presented. The monthly programs embraced two-piano concerts, violin and piano recitals, solo piano works and lectures on the composers. The success of the club has been due to the intense interest of its members, and to the guidance of its sponsor, Professor Joseph Macrz.

I � - w • • Second d r ' McPh, ner ' Giei«. PRESIDENTS’ f III NC IL The Council is composed of the presidents of the major organizations on the campus, the four class presi¬ dents and the editors of the student publications. The activities include work on the social calendar and the presentation of the nominations for officers of Student Government and Y. W. C. A. Nominations are made by president’s council and arc submitted to the student body for the final vote. 109 Mildred Collins, Margy Ragan and Maurine Giese study over old annuals. MARY CLAPP Editor in Chief. This year the Veterropt staff has attempted to do more than merely compile a lasting record of the events and activities of the year; it has tried to capture, in some small degree, the spirit that lies beyond the curriculum—the intangible quality that makes one school different from all others. working ° n ‘•copy- h; m ii ii i’r Our Veterropt could not have been com¬ pleted without the excellent work of two of our senior class. For a moment we thought wc might have no Veterropt, or a very in¬ complete one. But they took over a work which meant for them confusion, irritation, tedium, sometimes almost hopeless perplexity, and no glory—and which meant for us, our Veterropt, the book of our last and best days at Wesleyan. These two were Giesc and Martha. We seniors wish to set aside this page in which to try to express our thanks to Martha Nelson and Maurine Giese. Published bi - weekly, the Watchtower re¬ flects the campus life and college events with an accurate pen. It is always the aim af the staff to print all the news that is fit to print and print it accurately and inter¬ pret it correctly. Campus fact, fancy and fun all find their way into the pages of the Watchtower. t r ru in; ii Several c hanges have been made in the traditional make-up and the management of the paper. Newer trends in make-up were stressed. VIVIAN WILSON Business Manager _ t ii i; tv i; s l i; v i The Wesleyan staff of 1942-1943 has tried to present material which the stu¬ dents will enjoy reading. We felt that a student publication should be designed primarily for student pleasure and the subject matter should re¬ flect a college girl’s ideas and interests. We have tried to eliminate the use of themes and stories which were written for classes. Instead, we have tried to follow the campus trends and moods and activities by the as¬ signing of articles. We have sought new talent and attempted to find writers of promise in the Freshman and Sophomore classes as well as among the Juniors and Seniors. Five issues of the Wesleyan were pub¬ lished this year. These contained fiction, poetry, feature articles, book reviews, and several special features built around college activities. We attempted to make the Wes¬ leyan amusing, entertaining and attractive as well as the reproduction of the best writ¬ ing of the students. The covers featured photo¬ graphs of interesting campus views and followed the moods of the seasons. Illustrations were used for articles and poems to bring in the artistic talents of students as well as their writing ability. The scribes continued to contribute both prose and poetry to the magazine throughout the year, and the final issue consisted entirely of representative works of the members of the honorary writers ' groups. HOYT ROBERTSON WILLCOX BRUNER YATES BRANAN STEWART POUND GILLON RUSHTON KREILING PIM r-rom the time of the faltering entrance of the first freshman in the fall until the unwilling exit of the last senior in the spring, the Student Government calendar is crowded with one event after an¬ other. Retreat at the cabin. Freshman Orientation week, Student chapel every Friday, weekly meetings to plan and work out well-rounded programs, and girls in purple jackets on Dormitory Day in the spring, —all of these are representative of the part that Student Government plays in the life of each Wesleyannc. Striving constantly to uphold the high ideals of the organization, to set a good example, and to increase the feeling of individual re¬ sponsibility each girl plays her part as a member of the Student Gov¬ ernment Association. JULIA PATE, President Student Government in their Thursday meeting. DOROTHY ANNE PIM, Vice-President i’ii i, 11:li u i; ii v k it i hit • • ; ELEANOR HOYT Treasurer and BEny BRUNER Secretary During her four years here, every Wesleyanne carries a candle in her hand—a candle she receives at her first vesper service, dedicated to love and truth and beauty. In an atmosphere of quiet music and solemn purpose, her lighted candle makes her a part of a growing world¬ wide fellowship of students who are earnestly seeking to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. A morning devotional, a sing on the library steps, parties for the servants, Santa Claus for the orphans, a Stunt Night full of suspense, the Christmas banquet overflowing with happiness, carols sung under candle-lighted windows—these make full our life at Wesleyan. And many more activities fill our days—activi¬ ties carried on by the Cabinet members, who are chairmen of Worship, Social Service, Indus¬ trial Commission, Soc ial Activities, and World Friendship. c1 it i in t ) !•: ) it i; it s Fj rs t r ow left to right: Webb, White, S.

The service of the M Y M is not limited to the campus. The girls meet industrial groups, play god-mother to the Hcphzibah Orphans, direct a Negro children’s play group, and take part in social work in the community. This year a dance was held in connection with our campaign to raise money to help students over the world con¬ tinue their education. The links between Y” Cabinet and the stu¬ dent body arc Freshman Commission, Sophomore Council, and Activity Council. These enable each student to realize her vital connection with the Y. W. C. A. and take advantage of the oppor¬ tunities that lie before her. From the stillness of the mornings at Rivoli through the rush of a busy day, the Y” offers resources for living an abundant life. MARION TAYLOR President scum The organization is most interested in creating a spirit of unity among those students who like to write. The Scribes, honorary literary society, founded in 1920, is made up of a group of students interested in writing. Writers devote their time not only to poetry, as when the club was first organized, but also to all types of prose. Throughout the year Scribes have written poems, short stories, and articles for the Wesleyan and the Watchtower . The spring issue of the Wesleyan is written and edited by the Scribes. The Scribes find inspiration at the Kingfisher Cabin, shrine of Harry Stillwell Edwards. Left to right: McClellan, Shumate, Johnson, Alexander, Prapaul. . . . Standing: Smith, White. r UK The International Relations Club has attempted to keep up with the rapidly changing world during the past year. A broader knowledge of countries throughout the world was de¬ veloped by interesting speakers. Three Royal Air Force cadets led a discussion on England, and Miss Katherine Johnson spoke on the Beauties of Japan. Miss Florence Domingos talked on South America and exhibited dolls from many of the Latin countries. The I. R. C. program for the year included a Christmas party and discussions on war and the peace to follow.

It is made up of music majors and others interested in the musical field. The purpose of the group is to promote interest in music among the student body as a whole. iit t am; Newly organized this year, the Art Club is an organization in which girls truly interested in art can receive outside information and guidance. At a time when Frenchmen and Americans are fighting side by side, Le Cercle Francais, an affiliate of the National Alliance Francais, has great signi¬ ficance. Conducted entirely in French, the meetings serve to stimulate interest in the French people and the French language. Programs, prepared by the stu¬ dents, present to the members many phases of French life, especially in the fields of French art, music, and literature. 1 MARy LOUISE WILLCOX President The Crucible Club, which was founded March 2, 1937, is composed of girls who have completed the general chemistry requirements and are particularly interested in Science. Since 1940 students interested in gaining knowledge in psychology have been able to study and to become better acquainted with this psychology-conscious world. The name Cyclothymic means a progressive and well-balanced in¬ dividual, and this is the aim of the club. «SON The Town Girls Club was organized in 1939 to enable Macon students to participate more actively in campus af¬ fairs. The first goal was reached last Spring when the club was granted a permanent place on President’s Coun¬ cil.

In the Spring comes the swimming meet with speed, smoothness of motion, the sheen of colored lights on green water as a human ferris wheel goes round and round in the feature aqua¬ tic stunt. Ping - pong bouts, feminine archness aimed straight at the bull’s eye, a golf game when Spring is in the grass—these are a part of the sporting life at Wesleyan. And all through the year Wesleyannes strive for the glory of being ,f on the team,” the thrill of going down the field together. — The Block W” Club honors the Wesleyan girls who are exceptional in sports. Each sport gives a certain number of points to participants. The girls who obtain 500 points during the school year arc awarded a Block W.” Those who have the ’’W” award, receive a purple star. Every Weslcyannc hopes to attain the goal of becoming a mem¬ ber of this club. 131 132 ATHLETIC Buff Kenner . Preuden! Elinor Rees. Vice-Preiidrnt Martha Martin .Secretary Dorothea Harden .

The Wesleyan Athletic program has something to offer every girl all the year. After soccer, then basketball. Excited shouts can be heard on the clear winter air as cage stars pivot, pass, and shout for the glory of their class. Beginning right after spring holidays, swimming relieves the home stretch” studying strain. Divers silhouetted against the glow of the sun have a Gothic frame. Splashes—fun and gurgling laughter. Hiking, badminton, ping-pong, and hockey play their part in furnishing relaxation for Wesleyan girls. These sports arc played throughout the school year. The baseball nine follows the horse show in the spring sports sprint and tennis ends the season. The Athletic Association this year has sponsored various games to bring the faculty into the sport light—with the stu¬ dents as rivals. One of the most exciting clashes yet was the volleyball game between the White Shirts—the Freshmen championship team—and the pro¬ fessors. There was a difference of one point in the final score, yet we dare not say in whose favor. In the spring there will be a soft ball game between the students and faculty. 133 siirm First row: Kenner, Taylor, White, Adams. . . .

Him SHUTS Wesleyan girls displayed their expert horsemanship in the Macon Fall Horse Show.

The girls who like to ride enjoy gym class instruction in horse back riding. During the year there arc many moonlight rides and supper afterwards. Archery is among the many minor sports at Wes¬ leyan. The equipment is furnished and many girls enjoy this outdoor as well as indoor sport. Hiking on woodland paths or country roads is pleasant. Enthusiasts win W s for hiking 300 miles. The spring swimming meet, ping-pong, badminton, tennis, and golf tournaments round out the athletic program.

The teach¬ ers say they have a team this year that will put the stu¬ dents to shame. Bicycles are available in the Gym to any girl who wants to ride. On Saturday morn¬ ings Wesleyan girls can be seen pedaling up to Couch’s or to the Pit for a morning snack. Left to right: Lester, Gragg, C. Sutherland.
