Section I The Conservatory and School of Fine Arts Section 11 The Liberal Arts College PRESIDENT SILAS JOHNSON. D.D. Dr. Johnson came to Wesleyan in the middle of the school year directly from the Mulberry Street Methodist Church, where many Wesleyannes had known him. He has a long history of service to Wesleyan, and has a wide knowledge of her problems. A sincere, energetic, conscientious leader, he has already endeared himself to the student body. WESLEYAN CONSERVATORY and SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS Foreword Our aim has been to use the yardstick of years at Wesleyan skillfully, to jot down the dimensions of 1947 , and record them with a brilliancy which time cannot fade. To this ageless glimpse the un being of bronze and silver who has given of his very soul that we may fathomable truth—to him we dedicate this small fragment of our lives. Annabel Horn, A.M.

The Juniors set the pace for social activities of the year. Never before have little sisters been so royally feted as they were by the Juniors with a breakfast at the Southern Manor A feeling of accomplishment dominated their scholastic maneuvers, and an enthusiasm for their respective fields spurred them on. A series of one-act plays in the speech department showed the industry and serious effort of the Junior directing class; the bubbling in the direction of the art department showed the intense interest on the part of the fashion illustrators-to-be; while the music majors began slowly gath- thc intense interest on tnc p B | or ious triumph, the Senior rectal.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS The sophomores are definitely in the know.” Instead of that first awesome arrival in September, theirs was the joy of reunion—a veritable homecoming to the tune of old friends and old haunts. Now it was their turn to use that utmost of sophistication and that superior air in directing the new-comefledglmgs through the mysteries of college life-now it was the.r turn to smile and say She s just a little fresh, man—she doesn’t know.” Their desires for revenge remained unsatsified as they relinquished the tradi¬ tional Rat Day.” A retrospective glance of their own torment left them slightly regretful, but t c turned their thoughts to other activities-mainly study, study, and more study The Sophomore year is the hardest” became their motto. They doggedly plowed through Sophomore Literature, counterpoint, and history of costume. Radio scripts occupied their Suday afternoon Piano practice and color plates took the place of that Saturday night date. Bangs were chiefly the mark of a sophomore as that ultimate Hogue swept the school and the almighty scissors saw their heyday at the expense of the brave who would risk anything for fashion. The Sophomores hit a high spot with the tea dance the afternoon of he f i i ' innp weekends crept up and took them unaware. Homesickness was a thing of the Christmas g , pJtron j z j n g| y listened to the laments of their followers who counted the z; «... .•« - r - worry thereof, were no longer the major topic of conversation.

Vice President Betty Jane Wheeler. Treasurer Juliet Lynch. Secretary Once upon a time there lived two hundred little girls who packed their suitcases, kissed their families good-bye, and went off into the world to seek their fortune. After traveling far and wide they met at a spot called Rivoli, where they were greeted by nice ladies dressed in purple and white, who patted them on their heads and said, Never mind, it will only last four years, and led them down long, dark corridors where 11 Ranged and telephones rang. The two hundred little girls became accustomed to their strange surroundings slowly—some laughed, some cried, they Wcrc all exceedingly frightened. They wrote page after page °f nonsense in a dark pit called the Amphitheatre. They ate tomatoes and called home collect. They sweated and fumed th strange hair-dos and a peculiar ritual which all had to w ' th some fiendish ordeal known as Rat Day. But they survived—two hundred strong. They learned to play soccer, to find things in the library, to dust under the radiator. Better still, they learned to live together and love it. Then the two hundred packed their bags again and became Sophomores. Their spirits soared as did their egos. They learned to dissect frogs without batting an eyelash. Their heels were higher, their hair, longer. They collected wings and cadets. They discovered that Stunt Night was fun, and Little Orphan Annie was introduced to Wesleyan. Juniors—no longed two hundred strong, but strong none¬ theless, for the little girls had learned the meaning of friend¬ ship and cooperation. Together they dove into their major subjects with gusto—defying Shakespeare and Modern School alike. Again they won first place Slum Night, and won honors in the field of sports. Barbara Elinor Binns When we think of Barbara we think of wavy blond hair alive and shin¬ ing, star-sprinkled blue eyes and a smile that is as friendly as her heart. We remember a girl dashing down the hall in flannel p.j s to answer the phone, hoping it will be from the current man. We remember an honor student who excels in foreign languages, a holiday ball, a jet black gown, a golden tan, football games and chrysanthemums. We will never forget one of such good spirit.

President Sue Keen ...... . Vice-President Rhett Jenkins. Secretary Mary McCowan. Treasurer The Class of 48 came back to Wesleyan last fall to become Juniors. The class came back smaller, but more united in spirit. The class came back confident, now a definite part of Wesleyan. The year passed swiftly, almost before most of us realized how impor¬ tant a junior is in the set-up of life at Wesleyan. We met and entertained the cute-look- ing freshmen and were thrilled when they asked us to be their big-sisters. We tried to mother them, see after them on the basis of our superior experience. And we even tried to chaperone them. As the lazy summer days faded we tucked our sweaters in our skirts and pinched our waists with wide belts. We went out for soccer and tied for first place. We also went out for basketball. We strived on Stunt Night and ordered our class rings. We dug in deep studying our majors. The year passed all to quickly. It brought with it a deepening sense of individual responsibility and a stronger love for Wesleyan.

Secretary • T reasurer Sophomores—what a thrill of pride that name gives us, knowing that we have lived through the trials and tribulations of our freshman year to attain such dignity. Last year the word struck terror to our hearts; now we know that being Sophomores is loads of fun! For instance, we will never forget Rat Day, the long procession of fearful witches, unbelievably us, the rat court in which we tried to hide wide grins behind awful scowls, and the cute rats who trembled as they wrote our letters and waxed our floors. Then there was soccer with all the cheering, singing and yelling for dear old Tri-K.” We proudly shared the cup with the juniors and seniors, and we had a won¬ derful time at the Thanksgiving banquet serenading the other classes. Swimming came next, giving us that new hair style, straight and drippy, but developing in us a new pride in our aquatic abilities. On the scholastic side we learned the full meaning of the word parallel through countless hours of clock-watching in the library. We gained a definite familiarity with the Hebrews and the tribes of Israel under the guidance of Miss Stinson and Mr. A vent. The biggest scholastic question of the year was our choice of a major. Selling pastries, dashing madly to the Pharm, making the most of our single dating privilege, dancing at our very special formals, playing basketball with that Tri-K spirit, and looking forward to becoming juniors and meeting our little sisters; these are the privileges of a Wesleyan sophomore.

Ann Henderson . . Adelaide Haffenden . . President Vice-President . . Secretary . . Treasurer We came, we saw and were conquered by Wesleyan. We learned to open the doors, to wear our boots in the rain, and to ride the M. and M. buses. But that isn’t all we learned. We learned the difference between Tate and Taylor. We learned, too, on Rat Day that the sophomores were the most glorious, omniscient [s cl refined creatures on Wesleyan’s green campus. We were informed, too, that red was the sophomore class color. It stood for the blood of the poor freshmen on Rat Day.” Our survival was partially due to our big sisters” who helped us set fire to mighty Wortham. They were very good to us, and even got us a few of those things called dates. Our tears on Homecoming Day mingled with those of the departed Wcsleyanncs, for we were fourth in the soccer games. Then came fall holidays. We returned to a Christmas formal and to gay Christmas parties. Midterms, the winter formal, spring holidays all went by in a whirl. But time stood still on that term paper week-end.” Freshman stunt with a scream of a script brought us second place honors. May Court proved to be the most exciting of our formals, and final exams, the most final of exams. Ann Acker . . • Hampton, Gt Mary Jane Alderman . UkcUd.

Its purposes are two¬ fold: to guard the welfare of each student; thereby integrating individ¬ ual loyalty toward the advancement of the college as a whole. The efficiency of Student Government depends on an honor system requiring student responsibility for the maintenance of academic and social rules. The principles of the association are defined by a student constitution approved by the faculty. This constitution was recently revised to adjust student government to current problems. The constitution establishes a Senate to make and revise regulations enforced by the House President’s Organization; an Executive Board to determine policies and penalties and a Judicial Board to hear student appeals.

That week is rare which is without an activity sponsored by the A.A. Board. Under its leadership fall all the athletic tournaments and the regulation of the other sports which are provided for our enter¬ tainment. The members of the Board are selected carefully, for they must typify the ideals for which A.A. stands—good sportsmanship, physical skill, mental alertness, and joviality. The 1946-47 term has been an eventful one for A.A. Their activities have branched beyond the conventional duties of the Board, which were carried out with extraordinary success, into new projects such as the Swim a Mile Club. Many feel that one of the greatest honors to be received at Wesleyan is a ' T from A.A.” when the awards are made in the spring to those who have participated outstandingly.

Snapshot I Jane Anne Mallet VETERROPT The annual staff presents the Veterropt to the students of Wesleyan as a year book of memories. In order to portray college life accurately, the Veterropt divides the student body into the classes, the religious, the literary, and the social organizations to which each student belongs. In this manner the Veterropt includes every phase of activity on the campus and omits none of the spirit of student life. Every effort is made to contain the informal, happy moments of friendship and sportsmanship which complete life at Wesleyan. The Veterropt is published annually by the Seniors, with assistants from the other classes. The staff is elected each spring by the student body. Dr. Gin and Mr. Gwin as faculty advisors were indispensable to the sta ff. A The Advertising Staff. Betty Thompson Margaret Moffett THE EDITORIAL STAFF I-rom the long dorms and teachers offices, from the gym and bright- lighted date parlors, the W atchtouer gathers the news and folds it into crisp sheets in each mailbox, tls purpose is simple: to present student ideas and student news fairly and interestingly. Its methods are com¬ plex, sometimes overwhelming. A fresh assignment sheet on Mon- day night, neat pages in halves stacked on Wednesday night, pencil- scratched pages on Friday night under the puzzled re-writer’s lamp, the scoop that interferes, heads, the trip to the printer’s with mats and cuts and strange type. The Watchtower is Wesleyan’s newspaper. I he U atchtouer was raised from a junior to a senior edition this year. An editorial board and four associate editors were added to the staff to increase its efficiency. New features as Roving Reporter , Ga. Ham , add to its interest by presenting student views on questions of importance. Two special W atchtouer elections, Wesleyandie” and The Girl of the Year” are striding features in the year’s news.

At monthly meetings the members study Latin American culture, enjoy lectures and open discussions on the customs, politics and ideals of these coun¬ tries. Short movies and demonstrations of Latin dances and foods add to the interest in the club. Miss Dorothy Thom has served capably as the club advisor. Late in the fall the club elected Lillian Cazin as its new president. Virginia Bell, President FRENCH CLUB Elizabeth Connor Elizabeth Conner. President Mary Lane Edwards.

Our three-fold aims are to inform ourselves about public affairs, to vote wisely, and to cooperate with our elected representatives by telling them how we stand. During the monthly meetings there have been pre¬ pared programs on public welfare, education, economic policies about inflation and deflation, county and city governments, a round-table discussion with the I.R.C. pertaining to the United Nations program. Prominent speakers, including the faculty members, lectured to the group. One of the significant aims of the League of Women Voters was the registration of all Georgia girls at Wesleyan.

These arc just a few of the many times during the year when the Vesper Choir adds to a campus occasion by their beautiful renditions. This branch of the Glee Club is student organized and directed. SCRIBES IWtiy Thompson, Jean Lowe, Frances Harris, Rosemary Bounds, and Jeanne Gerner pondering in the library. Unique creative ability, subtle imagination, consistently high stand¬ ards of authorship represent the Scribes. Membership in the Scribes is one of the literary achievements most valued at Wesleyan. Formed to recognize and stimulate student writers, the Scribes choose their mem¬ bers from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes.
