H U D G I N S DEDICATION FOR THE MAYNARD To one who knows no limitations — To one we ' ve found and loved, unmistakably. For you have given us faith and love unequaled, for you have shown us yourself, unlimited, deep, and meritorious, for you have been to us the nonpareil of truth — To us supreme — and we ' ll remember. RALPH SAMSEN To oresent oictorially some of the events that have made this year at Wesleyan one worth remembering is the purpose of the VETERA 5 0 OPT This is .he story of one yeor o. Wesleyon. I. is o yeor which hos marked the m.dwoy po,n. of the twentieth century. To Wesleyon it hos brought o time for evoluohon. She is something more thon the ordinory college. She is the Oldest ond Best. She has behind her o tradition of dignity and service, ond before her o future which demands continuing achievement. To her students Wesleyan has given much, and she has asked much from them in return. They have a pride in her past, a happiness in her present, and a confidence in her future. For her they can say with Browning, Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be. TATE HALL— we ' ll re¬ member for standing (or sitting) in line on registra¬ tion day for trips to the bookstore, for announce¬ ments and newspaper clippings on the bulletin boards, for those all im¬ portant offices of Presi¬ dent, Dean, and Regis¬ trar, and, ah, yes, it does seem os if we had classes there. I ' . THE LIBRARY —to a Wesleyanne means parallel and books on reserve, lovely flower arrangements and in¬ teresting bulletin boards, rare books in the Georgia Room, and, above all, a quiet place to study. PORTER GYMNAS¬ IUM —is the center of our athletic life. With it are associated memories of phys. ed. classes, basket¬ ball practice, the swim¬ ming meet, the Aqua¬ cade, the volleyball tour¬ nament, Stunt Night and chapel. • • • K Kin me SUNDAY, September 25th, meant that the Seniors donned caps and gowns for the first time, and marched into church at Mulberry Methodist. IW 14 BENEFACTOR ' S DAY, Oct. i � , meant a campus holiday, and barbeque for all on the soccer field. Speaker for the RAT DAY, Oct. 11, brought triumph and glory to the mighty sophs, but hard work and ignominy befell the lowly frosh. Tri-K pirates became the meek and mild servants of the bold Green Knights. 4K • • • uanneS HALLOWEEN brought the only chance of the year to wear blue ieans to dinner—as well as a ghostly program put on by members of the Rec Leadership class. Shouts of laughter greeted faculty members as they revealed their sup¬ pressed desires in their skit at the an¬ nual CRUCIBLE CLUB CAROUSEL.

F l £)ecember meant that There were large audiences on Dec. 2 and 3 as the Wesleyan Drama Depart¬ ment presented the second in its annual series of plays. Family Portrait by Lenore Coffee and William Joyce Cowen, a portrayal of the family of Jesus, was this production — one which went on tour in March. I I i For two nights, Dec. 9 ond 10, the swimming pool was the scene of much gaiety as the Naiads presented their annual Acquacade, built around a Mardi Gras theme. King Neptune showed his bride Minnie nymphs, mermaids, jesters, acrobats and starfish all swimming to music. The Naiads ' nightly practice paid off in a truly colorful water carnival. came livid tmad • • • With much admiration for the tree in the Grand Parlor. And to begin the festivities of the season there was the Library Christmas Party with the candle- lighted tree, the new book displays, the mint punch, the cookies, the paper stockings filled with candy, and, best of all, a program showing Miss Carnes ' own ingenious touch of originality. Besides exams, the com¬ petition of the inter-organi¬ zational volleyball tourna¬ ment, in which even the fac¬ ulty managed to put up a strong team. But the Thom Boys were the final victors. Charm Week, highlighted by talks on good grooming and personality, by a forum on the Males ' Point of View, by the fashion show — but the climax of the week was the Cinderella Ball on Feb. 25, with the presentation of Miss Charming and Wesleyandy. True Barbershop Harmony. Il ' s a great American cusrom, and it ' s read by every age! ' After long days of labor, and nights devoid of ease because of continual stunt rehearsal, there came on March 11, 1950, THE BIG NIGHT —Stunt Night. Seniors, sophomores, juniors and fresh- men all in turn presented their thirty minute skits, only to have to await the judges ' decision plus the prolongd an¬ nouncement of said decision by Dr. Gin. Tc cut. or not to cut — that is the question!

We remember the give and take of the class¬ room — the sense of achievement that comes when students and the administration work together to solve a common problem — the fun and fellowship arising when faculty team meets student team — the closeness found in friendships between student and teacher — it is all a part of Wesleyan.

And class spirit — Hail to White and Purple, Oh Hallelujah, Oh Hallelujah, Then It ' s Up With the Golden Hearts, Dear Ole Tri-K, familiar refrains as sister classes cheer for each other — as each feels a pride in her team, her class. But between us all are the friendships which bind us to Wesleyan and make it our college. j I I O R RHEA VON LEHE 32 Left to right: Martha Ann Wood, Rhea Von Lehe, Margaret Ann Manson, Mary Jane Alderman. S E MARTHA ANN WOOD . . RHEA VON LEHE . . . . MARY JANE ALDERMAN . MARGARET ANN MANSON Can this be the Class of ' 50, in caps and gowns, ready for those cherished diplomas? We smile when we re¬ member that this is the same group who came to Wesleyan as freshmen, trying to memorize the hand¬ book, busy making new friends, bowing down to the Tri-K sophomores, and learning that parallel does not refer to two equidistant straight lines. We wonder how the classes put up with us the next year as we did our best to terrorize the freshmen, were sure that we knew more than mere teachers, and thought that nothing we did could ever be a flop — until stunt night. We II never forget our junior year, with the thrill of having the freshmen ask us to be big sisters ' of finally start- . President .Vice-President .Secretary . Treasurer ing our majors, of trying to use up those unlimited overnights, and of getting our class rings and pins. And now we are seniors. This year has been crammed with work in the winter and senior sprees in the spring. There are so many things to remember — the Thanks¬ giving banquet and the orchids that our little sisters gave us, our last Halloween and Christmas banquets, a beautiful crop of diamond rings, and hard work on our final stunt night and May Day. It has been a mixture of fun and responsibility. Yes, this can be the class of ' 50, ready to graduate. There is sadness in saying good¬ bye, but joy in knowing that we ' ll always be Wesleyannes. 33 JEAN LINK Rockmart, Georgia English The personification of poise, intelligence, and charm, JEAN has been an outstanding member of her class throughout her four years at Wesleyan. A leader from the very beginning, she served as Vice-President of the Freshman Class. Her enthusiasm for work with the Y.W.C.A seemed never to stop as she was Sophomore Representative, Vice-President, and finally President. Athletically, she has been an important member of the soccer and swimming teams. For two years she was a member of the Senate. Other interests led her to membership in the League of Women Voters, and the Fine Arts Club. Having been elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, Jean has proven herself a real Superlative. An effervescent personality and a ready smile have made RHEA a popular member of her class. Ably and dependably she held the offices of Secretary of the Sophomore Class, President of the Junior Class, and Vice-President of the Senior Class. She was an earnest worker on the Social Standards Board for four years and served as Vice-President her Junior year. Her in¬ terest in art has led her to be a member of the Fine Arts Club, serving as Vice-President her Junior year and President her Senior year. She played on the soccer team her Freshman year and worked on the Stunt Com¬ mittee her Senior year. For two years she was a May Court Attendant and a Miss Charming representative. Golden hair, blue eyes, and lasting poise _ this is Rhea, our Class Beauty. SENIOR. . RHEA VON LEHE Wolterboro, South Carolina History of Art JEAN AND RHEA i j_jjl Ul MYRA JANE HOLMAN Moultrie, Georgia Sociology RA JANE AND MARTHA JANE MARTHA JANE GREER Cordele, Georgia English Although she is a mite in size, there is no lack of enthusiasm in MARTHA JANE ' s personality. She has proven herself a valuable member of the Dramatic Club, serving as vice-president her junior year and president her senior year. Other interests have led her to par¬ ticipate in the Hiking Club and the International Re¬ lations Club. Making high grades as an English major has not taken up all of her time. On frequent occasions she can be seen dashing around in her new Buick convertible — the envy of all her classmates. Martha Jane ' s originality was much called upon in working on Stunt Night scripts. Around her there is never a dull moment, for she is the life of many a dormitory party. MYRA JANE came to Wesleyan as a sophomore transfer from Sullins College in Bristol, Va. Because of her genuine friendliness and interest in her classmates, she was not a stranger for long. Not only has she proven herself a loyal friend, but by her co-operation and willingness to work she can always be counted on when something needs to be done. She has been an earnest participant in the League of Women Voters, I.R.C., St. Cecilia Music Guild, the Senate, and Social Standards. As president of the Sociology Club she has shown her leadership abilities. Myra Jane ' s radiant charm and regal poise have made her an asset to the May Court more than once, and to our class as well. ■ i Vidolia, Georgia Modern Languages A triple V girl with vim, vigor, and vitolity to burn — a whiz with bridge ond A.T.O. ' s, Ann takes excite¬ ment wherever she goes. Her boundless energy made her a star member of her class soccer team. A Modern Language major who can say I bid a diamond in four languages, she ' s a member of the Spanish, French, and Latin Clubs. But her interests aren ' t limited to foreign verbs — she ' s a Naiad and member of her class swim¬ ming team, and has been a member of the Glee Club and Vesper Choir. A girl with energy and a golden voice — that ' s Anne. A breath of spring with red hair and brown eyes is EJIE — a Modern Language major with an enthusiasm that never dies. Her wit sparkles like Florida sunshine, and her grin would warm the coldest snow. She plays possum in the afternoon and owl at night. She has been a member of the French Club and the Latin Club, and is president of the Spanish Club. Ejie ' s interests are not limited to languages, however, for she has also belonged to the Glee Club, served on the Veterropt Staff and on the Stunt Committee. Her animation mode her an energetic cheerleader, and she has been on the senior board of Social Standards, and has also served os a Senator. L SENIORS EMILY JANE TANNER Palatka, Florida Modern Languages ANN AND EJIE JEAN LOGAN Ocilla, Georgia History BESS NUNN Perry, Georgia English A bright smile and a cheery Hello mean BESS has just walked by. She is a girl who enters into every¬ thing with energy and enthusiasm. She s a star athlete, yet belongs with moonlight and roses. An English major J whose interests are not limited to Shakespeare, Bess has not only belonged to the Glee Club, but has rep¬ resented her class in many sports. She has been on the A. A. Board, on the basketball team, a Naiad, captain of the swimming team, and captain of the soccer team. She was elected president of the W Club. We are proud to list her among the Senior Superlatives. She ' s lovely, she ' s engaged, she doesn ' t use Ponds. An enthusiastic, friendly girl with coal black hair and laughing eyes — that ' s JEAN. She ' s one of those rare people who lend gaiety to every occasion. A history maior with varied interests, she has been a member of the Glee Club and has been on her class soccer, basket¬ ball, and swimming teams. Her active participation in sports made her a member of the W Club. She is a Senator, has served on the sub-board of Social Standards, and is also a member of the League of Women Voters and President of the International Relations Club. Elected Senior Representative to College Government, is it any wonder that Jean is a Senior Superlative? MARY LENA McCULLOHS Columbus, Georgia English Where there ' s smoke there ' s fire, and where there ' s fire there ' s McCullohs! A combination of brains and energy, she ' s a character from Richard II. She ' s origi¬ nal, she ' s ingenious. With undaunted enthusiasm this English major puts zest into everything. Her skill has made her a star soccer player. Her explosive spirit made itself felt in the Senate where she expressed her opinions with her usual vivacity, and as a member of the Latin Club she had no trouble doing as the Romans did. This red-headed girl is dynamite. A girl who says what she thinks and thinks what she says — that ' s NETTIE FLO. She is a philosophy major with a philosophy of her own. Best of all, she ' s versatile — she plays bridge like a veteran, reads deep books like a scholar, and loves fun like a ten year old. She showed her athletic ability on the soccer team. Her intellectual outlook made her an ideal Senator as well as a member of the International Relations Club. She has also served on the sub-board of Social Standards. Her clear thinking, straight forward manner, and the twinkle in her eye make Florence a stimulant for any mood. S E N y j FLORENCE HORKAN Moultrie, Georgia Philosophy MARY LENA AND FLORENCE It 1111.81 at the BETTY CARTHRON Savannah, Georgia History of Art BETTY AND NANCY NANCY ASHER Orlando, Florida Sociology A champion of Florida in the heart of Georgia, NANCY can brighten the dullest class and dig out a gleam of humor from the most serious subject. We will remember her fondness for midnight cokes and her cooperation as she worked on Stunt Night and rescued many an untyped term paper. She has been a member of the Fine Arts, Crucible and International Relations Clubs, besides belonging to the League of Women Voters and serving as treasurer of the Sociology Club. On Thanksgiving she went all out for soccer, whether by working on decorations, managing the team, or help¬ ing to kick the ball down the field. On tournament days, holidays and every day, Nancy has proved her¬ self a whole-hearted Purple Knight. Enthusiastic and versatile, BETTY has truly been a part of life at Wesleyan. With undaunted class spirit, she has been a valued member of the soccer and basket¬ ball teams. Those meeting her for the first time are impressed by her vivacity and wit; those who know her well have discovered a more serious side and appre¬ ciate her depth of feeling. As a result of her interest in athletics, she was elected a member of the Splinters and selected to participate in Playday. Her bound¬ less energy has found expression in many phases, for she has been an active participant in Stunt Night every year and an interested member of the Fine Arts Club, League of Women Voters, the International Relations Club, and the Sociology Club. Her varied interests and lively personality make her an asset to any group. FRANCES MAHONE Macon Georgia Music Never at a loss for words, FRANCES this year has a new topic for conversation and a brighter light in her eyes as she proudly exhibits her third finger, left hand. A transfer from Converse College after her Freshman year, she entered into the extra-curricular life at Wesley¬ an with characteristic vigor. She has been a member of the Day Students ' Club and the Social Standards Board, and she helped lead the soccer cheers for two years. Interested in art, she has belonged to the Fine Arts Club, and to those who have heard her sing it is no surprise that she belonged to the Glee Club and St. Cecilia Music Guild. Considering her wide range of interests and her boundless enthusiasm, we predict a never-dull future for this Kappa Alpha Rose. Our hats are off to FRANCES! She left Wesleyan for a while as Frances Bush and returned as Mrs. J. P. Holmes, Jr., to graduate with the Class of ' 50. Her major is math, and she ' s a whiz at that. Frances finds that caring for her home, her husband, and her son is more exciting than belonging to the various campus clubs. Here ' s a girl who really enjoys her homework ! With long, dark hair and a composed manner, Frances will impress you as being quiet and reserved at first. But she reveals a lively spirit as she enters readily into her classwork and into the hearts of the girls who know her. FRANCES BUSH HOLMES Macon, Georgia Mathematics FRANCES ' BETTY AND ANN BETTY SMITH Macon, Georgia Psychology BETTY ' S zest for living is seen in her friendly grin, which manages to be a gracious smile at the same time. She can be serious when talking about social work, modern art, and music, or scatterbrained as she takes off for an afternoon of golf. She transferred to Wesleyan from Sullins College her junior year, and although she is a day student, we have seen a lot of her on the campus as she dashes around to meetings of the Crucible Club, Day Student ' s Club, and Fine Arts Club. She served as a Junior Marshal. It is hard to remember that Betty, with her curly hair and brown eyes, has been with us for only two years. Sullins loss has been Wesleyan ' s gain. With a slim, trim figure and up-to-the-minute clothes, ANN came to Wesleyan as a junior from Sullins Col¬ lege. She has been president of the Day Students Club, and her interest in psychology led her to take an active part in both the Crucible and Sociology Clubs. She helped to represent her class in the Senate, and she was honord by being chosen as one of the Junior Marshals. Sophisticated in appearance, Ann has revealed to her classmates a contrasting warmth of personality. She has taken an active interest in her major, but there has been enough energy left over for the fun that goes along with it. % I i SARA F. JOHNSON FOWKE Kline, South Carolina Journalism SARA FRANCES has one thing over the rest of us — her Navy flier husband. Wherever you see her — on duty as student assistant in the library, on the campus, or in the dorm — her happy countenance gives her thoughts away. A transfer to Wesleyan as a sophomore, Sara Frances brought with her a contagious, happy dis¬ position. Her junior year found her up late nights, hustling news as Associate Editor of the Watchtow er. In spite of the time which was devoted to her journalism major, and that man in her life, she had enough en¬ thusiasm left over to share her talents with the French Club, and the I.R.C. We sleyan congratulates Sara Frances on her new and exciting job as a Navy wife 1 LOIS good-naturedly defends the northland, and she takes a lot of ribbing from southern friends about being ' ' a Yankee who made good in the South. Adapt¬ able, adiustable, and likable, she is an interesting person to know and can always find a ready audience for her up-to-the-minute opinions of current events Lois is an ethusiastic member of the I.R.C. and the League of Women Voters. She has also participated in the Fine Arts Club, and has served on the Watch- tower staff. With a slight Boston and New Yorkish accent, and with a calm, easy-going disposition charac¬ teristic of a southern lady, Lois displays much of the dignity Wesleyan is known for. V PATRICIA WING Montgomery, Alabama History of Art ISH AND PAT ISABELLA DREW Live Oak, Florida Chemistry N ISH transfered from Mount Joseph in Kentucky her junior year and at once became an integral part of her class. With many facets to her personality, Ish is always ready to join in some mischievous prank or to work in her loved chemistry lab. To indicate her versa¬ tility, Ish has been a member of the Crucible Club, French Club, and Fine Arts Club. We shall remember Ish for naming incessant chemical formulas one mo¬ ment and quoting Shakespeare vehemently the next. With talented fingers and an ever-ready paint brush, she has been a life-saver when we needed posters, props, and endless decorations. A combination of sophistication and demureness, of angelic smile and a devilish gleam . . . that ' s PAT. With an unfailing sense of the artistic, Pat is ever ready to quote Bosh or deliver an impromptu lecture on Picasso. Her versatility and boundless energy are shown in her participation in the Fine Arts Club, Latin Club, Spanish Club, Glee Club, Dance Club, and Dramatic Club. Pat ' s cartoons in the Watchtower have contrib¬ uted much to the paper, and she has done a fine job as art editor of the Veterropt. Whether at work on table and pharm decorations for Thanksgiving, on her class stunt each spring, or on making posters for all occa¬ sions, Pat has willingly given her time and talent to her class. CLIO CARMICHAEL Starrsville, Georg io Psychology Always ready to help with o job, CLIO has impressed everyone with her whirlwind efficiency and her ability to solve difficulties. Never tired and never slowing down, she has been invaluable os a student assistant in the library. She has served as secretary-treasurer of the International Relations Club and is a member of the Latin Club. Her interest in psychology has made her a capable president of the Crucible Club. In this office she showed talent for organization by supervising the Carousel that was enjoyed by both faculty and students. Firm convictions and a sympathetic nature are a real part of her character — one that we will always admire. DORINDA ' s unending sense of humor makes her the perfect companion when we reach the late hours in studying for exams. We will remember her wide-eyed wonder coupled with an always apt remark in the midst of a midnight dormitory session. Always loving art and her work with it, Dorindo showed her ability with the Purple Knight Stunt Night props and with her work with the Fine Arts Club. She served os vice-president of the Crucible Club, was a member of her class swimming team for three years., and served as a Junior Marshal. For her unfailing reliability, her spirit of cooperation, and her bubbling personality, Dorindo will be remem¬ bered. SENIOR DORINDA MORGAN Pine Beach, New Jersey Biology DORINDA AND CLIO CAROLYN RED Lookout Mountain, Tennessee History RED AND PEGGY MARGARET SHEFELTON Newnan, Georgia History With a cheerful nature and a warm smile, PEGGY has gone quietly about winning a place in the hearts of her friends. Always ready to help or listen, she has a loyalty and sincerity that is unquestionable. Her frequent appearance in the library proves that she is studious and willing to learn. She has been efficient and dependable as a member of the League of Women Voters for four years and served as vice-president of the club her senior year. In keeping with her major, she has shown special interest in the International Relations Club and the Crucible Club. Easy-going . . . quiet . . . sincere . . . this is the way we ' ll remember Peggy. A chuckle and an engaging grin may characterize RED in any situation. No one knows a dull moment when Carolyn bursts into a room and demands a quick hand of bridge or a bull session in which she injects her faith and sound philosophy of life and people. A History major, she has an extensive field of interests ranging from Stunt Night every year to the League of Women Voters., which she served as president her senior year. She was also a member of the Interna¬ tional Relations Club, Latin Club, and a writer for the Watchtower. She served as a class Senator her senior year. With her inexhaustible love for life. Red will not only find ioy but give it. JOYCE ANDREW Perry Georgia Sociology When we think of JOYCE, we think of a quiet, sin¬ cere personality consistant with her genuine interest in those about her. In keeping with her major, she has shown undivided interest in the Sociology Club and its many projects in and around Macon. She has also been a member of the Latin Club, and the International Relations Club, and was treasurer of Y.W.C.A. her junior year. The Watchtower and the Wesleyan have found her talents helpful and dependable. We all have found Joyce an asset to college life and have all prof¬ ited by her friendship. Poised, neat, and incessantly conversing about any¬ thing from international law to her latest love — this is what we remember about GRACE. She tells a story spiced with picturesque expressions all her own and immediately enlivens the conversation. Her blase atti¬ tude often conceals lovable qualities which only her friends can fully appreciate. A history major, Grace put to work her interest in contemporary affairs and took an active part in the International Relations Club and the League of Women Voters, serving as its vice- president her senior year. She also took part in the Sociology Club and the Glee Club. SENIORS GRACE TIMMS College Park, Georgia History JOYCE AND GRACE i MARY COBB Decatur, Georgia Religion MARY RUTH AND MARY ■ MARY RUTH FORDHAM Cochran, Georgia Chemistry MARY RUTH combines a fun-loving nature with real scholarship, and her vivacious personality is a definite asset in everything she does — whether it be in livening up a chemistry lab or in helping the senior soccer team to score. As well known on the basketball floor as on the soccer field, she is always present when the sports roll is called. A transfer from Middle Georgia Junior College, she was elected A. A. award manager and assistant sports editor for the Watchtower during her senior year. Proving that her brains are not all in her feet, she is a Senator and secretary of the Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society. i MARY ' S dry humor and frank expressions have made her welcome company in any crowd. She has a sympa¬ thetic understanding of one ' s problems and can always make laughter out of tears. Her interests are varied, for she has been a member of the Glee Club and Latin Club every year; a member of the Vesper Choir, the International Relations Club and the Fine Arts Club. She is interested in Religion and anyone who wants to talk things over has only to go to Mary, for she has a deep feeling for people. To all who know her Mary has proven a true and constant friend. i MARGARET ANN MANSON Miami, Florida Religion When one thinks of MIDGE, one must always think of music. She has been a valuable member of the Glee Club for four years and o member of the Vesper Choir for three years, serving as its director her junior year. Her love for good music and her dependability meant much to the St. Cecilia Music Guild for three years ond resulted in her being elected its president in her senior year. Midge has o deep interest in religious activities, and the Vineville Baptist Church has bene¬ fited from her boundless enthusiasm. The Fine Arts Club, International Relations Club, and Spanish Club olso received portions of her time and talent. Midge has always been loyal to her class and was elected its treasurer her senior year. Her friendliness ond interest in people have gained many friends for her. Transferring from Andrew College her junior year, MILDRED soon became a loyal member of the band of Purple Knights. With her ready friendliness, she soon mode us forget that she began college life away from Wesleyan. She has revealed an interest in social work by her major, psychology, ond by her membership in the Sociology Club. She joined the International Relations Club, and she was a member of the Day Students Club her seni or year. She enjoys music and the fine arts, and she has been an active supporter of the Fine Arts Club. Her classmates have discovered in Mildred a girl who easily finds pleasure and gives it. E N MILDRED WARD McRae, Georgia Psychology MILDRED AND MIDGE CHARLOTTE GAINES Macon, Georgia Sociology IN SOOK KOH Seoul, Korea Special Student Oriental charm . . . quiet sincerity . . . calm manner . . . these are IN SOOK, Korea ' s gift to Wesleyan. Quietly she goes about her tasks unknown to the rush¬ ing madness of her fellow classmates. The depth of her brown eyes show an eagerness ond willingness to under¬ stand her American friends and their way of life. Words bother her, but the well used dictionary has proved to be an able companion. She has shown cour¬ age and determination to succeed in her new way of life, and at all times has been a true inspiration to those who know her. The good neighbor policy has found its ideal example in In Sook. Ready to help when help is needed, CHARLOTTE can always be depended upon. Any time there were Stunt Night scripts or Thanksgiving songs to be writ¬ ten, Charlotte ' s originality helped produce the best. Her musical interests were exhibited in the St. Cecilia Music Guild, the Glee Club, and at the organ. Ever generous, she stocked the student lounge with numerous wonder¬ ful records of her own. Her literary ability has been seen in articles in the Watchtower and the Wesleyan. She has participated in the International Relations Club, Sociology Club, League of Women Voters, and Hiking Club. Charlotte will always be remembered for her friendliness, loyalty, and class spirit. m K W M f A LIDIA ROSA SOTO Y NONELL Cienfuegos, Cuba Psychology Upon transferring to Wesleyan her junior year LIDIA had no difficulties in becoming quickly acquainted both at college and in Macon. With black hair and eyes that suggest Spanish nights, and conversation that is American in flavor and Spanish in accent, she is an intriguing person to know. She has been called upon many times to speak and to sing in and about Aoson, and has served as student assistant in the president ' s office since her arrival. She lends a pretty note to both the Glee Club and the chapel choir. She is a member of the I R C., and is treasurer of the Crucible Club. We will remember Lidia for her ever-flowing conversation, her vivaciousness, and her love of her psychology major! Wherever she is, there is an artistic touch. With a quick turn of her hand or the drawing pen, and with a twinkle in her brown eyes, MARY JANE gives person¬ ality to whatever she does — be it arranging her room illustrating term papers, or decorating for Homecoming. Her four years at Wesleyan have led her into a variety of interests. She served as treasurer of both the Latin and the Fine Arts Club, and was secretary of the Senior Class. She has been a member of the I.R.C., Glee Club Crucible Club and Hiking Club. She was circulation manager of the Wesleyan and reporter for the Watch- tower. Mary Jane ' s love of the aesthetic will always be an asset to her and to those who know her. MARY JANE ALDERMAN Lakeland, Florida History of Art MARY JANE AND LIDIA NANCY BLACK Clearwater, Florida Religion NANN ELDRIDGE Sylvester, Georgia Religion Whether she ' s telling about Savannah Methodism or Sylvester, people are always interested in what NANN has to say. She talks and lives a contagious enthusiasm, and her conversation is full of you ' s instead of me ' s. She has a willingness to put everything aside to hear the other fellow ' s troubles, and can usually come up with a workable solution. Her qualities have won her the positions of president of the Latin Club, Senator, and Freshman Counselor for two successive years. She has efficiently served as Business Manager of the Watch- tower, and as an officer in the Georgian Methodist Student Movement. We have learned to love Nann — for herself, and for her selflessness. A transfer from Huntington College her sophomore year, NANCY immediately won our hearts with her sincere friendliness. In the years following we have daily found new depths in Nancy ' s philosophy and new enjoyment in her entertaining wit. Doing the work of ten with excellence, Nancy has been advertising mana¬ ger and feature writer for the Watchtower, and photog¬ raphy editor of the Veterropt. She was a loyal worker of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet for two years, and was chosen to serve as a Junior Marshal. During the summers Nancy has done caravan work in Cuba and Pennsylvania, re¬ turning with innumerable tales of her varied experiences to share with all. In all her undertakings she has held the admiration, love and respect of her friends. S E N ANNE DODD Macon, Georgia Sociology and Psychology O R. SUE ALICE HOLDEN One in a million or one in forty-six, ANNE can do the work of five to a Superlative degree. Friendly as o white picket fence, she will listen as sympathetically to hard luck stories as she will to good news. Enthusiastic as a pup, she has played a star role in the four year run we have had at Wesleyan. Naiads, Splinters, Cru¬ cible Club, Spanish, Sociology, and Glee Clubs all claim her, but yet there has been time for A.A., Y.W.C.A., Fourth Estate, Wesleyan and Veterropt staff. She has shown her athletic ability os a member of the swim¬ ming teoms. All this plus being a member of the Stu¬ dent-Faculty Committee, editor of the Watchtower ond Junior Marshal, it comes os no surprise that Anne ' s name can be found in Who ' s Who. An infectious smile, twinkling blue eyes, lots of enthusiasm, and an undying love for South Carolina _ especially a part including Walhalla and Clemson_ mean SUE. Her genuine love for people seemed to decree that she maior in psychology, and her musical talent turned her interest to the Glee Club ond the St. Cecilia Music Guild, of which she was secretary-treas¬ urer. She was elected vice-president of the Junior Class, served as class cheerleader for two years, and was always sought after when class songs had to be written. Her positions as Sports Editor of the Watchtower and president of the Dance Club placed her on the A A Board. She was a member of the Sociology and Crucible Clubs. Loyal, forgiving, and generous, Sue has been a dear friend to many and a true Superlative. Walhalla , South Carolina Psychology ANNE AND SUE GRAZIELLA CARLIER Strasbourg, France English GRAZIELLA AND JO ANN JO ANN RUSSELL Athens, Georgia English An independent spirit devoted to high ideals, a vibrant personality lending itself to the serious or to the gay has made JO ANN a person capable of accom¬ plishing much with seemingly little effort. She has taken many of the unsung glory tasks of college and has done a top-notch job of them. Be it for her church, as a member of Y cabinet, or for her school, as editor J of the Veterropt, she has time and again proved herself a true Senior Superlative. Honored by being a Junior Marshal, she served as a member of the Senate and shared her varied talents with the Watchtower and the Hiking, Dance, and Spanish Clubs. A delightful friend with a keen sense of humor, Jo Ann has won a lasting place among her classmates. With a reserved air, and a name we found hard to pronounce, GRAZIELLA came to America and to Wes¬ leyan from Strasbourg, France, two years ago. With her own special uniqueness she has distinguished her¬ self and won a permanent place in the hearts of her American friends. As treasurer of A.A., and as a mem¬ ber of the Latin, Hiking and Glee Clubs, she has served Wesleyan well, and as a member of the class soccer and basketball teams she has shown her athletic ability. A Senior Superlative, her election to Who ' s Who indi¬ cates her leadership qualities, while her loyalty, deter¬ mination, keen mind, and delightful wit prove the value of her friendship. MARTHA HAGGARD Chattanooga, Tennessee History of Art A mere wisp of a girl in size, MARTY is not one to be easily overlooked or quickly forgotten. Fun to be with, she leaves behind her the glow of a log fire and a lingering whiff of White Shoulders. 1 ransterring trom Harcum Junior College as a sophomore, she has led the cheers of the Purple Knights on Thanksgiving morning for three years, and she swallowed many a mouthful of water for her class on the swimming team. She has been a member of the Fine Arts Club, serving as secre¬ tary; a member of the sub-board of Social Standards and treasurer of the Social Standards Board, and was Secretary of the Junior Class. She was a reporter and circulation manager of the Watchtower. Marty makes us realize that there is still truth in the old saying, Valuable things come in small packages. A slow drawl from North Georgia con be heard when MARTHA ANN presides over our class meetings. Al¬ though more than once the sun has come up and found her still bent over a Shakespeare book or an L. 0. T. novel, she has been equally occupied with day¬ light activities. She has been a member of the League of Women Voters as well as the Glee Club, Crucible, Spanish, and Fine Arts Clubs. She was chosen as one of the Junior Marshals and has proven her dependability os our Junior Representative to College Govrnment and as treasurer of the junior class. Hiking, swimming, and playing basketball earned for her that cherished W letter. As senior literary editor of the Veterropt and member of the Fourth Estate, M. A. has shown her literary ability and has been much called upon for her original ideas. SENIOR; MARTHA ANN WOOD Rocky Face, Georgia English MARTY AND MARTHA ANN ■ BETTY DAVIDSON Lithonia, Georgia English BETTY AND JOAN JOAN ROUTSO College Park Georgia Biology A contagious laugh, a gracious smile as she presides at Social Standards meetings, a click of high heels as she rushes to get in on time from a week-end in Atlanta — these mean JOAN. A versatile girl, Joan can perform a biology experiment or organize a dance week-end with equal competence. She joined the Spanish and Crucible Clubs and belongs to the W Club, indicating an in¬ terest in sports. Proving it, she played on the soccer and basketball teams and swam on the junior swimming team. It doesn ' t take a second look to see why the freshmen chose her as a representative to May Court and the juniors voted her a candidate for Miss Charm¬ ing. She was on the junior board to Social Standards and has done an expert job as president. She was recog¬ nized by the faculty as a Junior Marshal and by the students as a Superlative Senior. With little girl charm and grown-up poise, BETTY has an instinctive talent for finding fun and adding to it. At home in blue jeans or evening dress, accepting the serious and the hilarious, she has shown a variety of interests in the past four years. She has sung in the Glee Club, and the League of Women Voters elected her as treasurer. Well known as president of A.A., she has served as vice-president, and as further proof of her interest in sports she has walked many a weary mile with the Hiking Club, played on the Soccer team, and taken a wet part in the annual swimming meet. She has been on hand when the honors were given out, being chosen as a Junior Marshal, elected to Who ' s Who, and voted a Senior Superlative. It ' s been fun knowing Betty — a downright all right girl. PAT POPE Acworth, Georgia History Lively as a firecracker, PAT throws all her energy into whatever she does, whether it ' s studying for history exams or planning for week-ends with Red. A staunch SENIORS JOE QUILLIAN Chattanooga, Tennessee I Pre-Medical Sciences supporter of A.A., she was Freshman representative, Splinter, and member of her class soccer and basketball teams for two years. She has been an important mem¬ ber of College Government, serving as vice-president her senior year. She was house president of South and burned the midnight oil editing the hondbook. Somewhere she squeezed in enough time for I R C. and the Watchtower, and she was on the staff of the Veterropt. A natural choice for Junior Marshal, she was recognized by her classmates as Superlative. A red-head with a sunny disposition is JOE. This unconventional combination is not wondered at by those who know her, for Joe is no ordinary girl. We solute her ambtion in preparing to study medicine, and we wonder where she has found enough fingers for so many outside pies Elected a Splinter as a freshman, she has defended the Purple Knights on the basketball court and the soccer field for all four years, proving her good sports¬ manship time and again. She was a Junior Marshal; she has belonged to the French and Crucible Clubs” she ' s in Who ' s Who. he has worked with College Gov¬ ernment, being treasurer her sophomore year and secre¬ tary her junior year, and while a senior she has done a crackerjack job os president. This year Joe received a tribute from the student body which was well earned no one better deserves the title ' ' Miss Wesleyan. JOE AND PAT JUNIOR....

Treasurer Our class was smaller in number, but our golden hearts were closer together. We realized more clearly what college was meant for — how Wesleyan could help us achieve our life ' s goals. With less obvious en¬ thusiasm, but with more purpose and determination, we entered wholeheartedly into our major fields. Like everyone else, we had our disappointments, yet some¬ how the growing pains of our first two years seemed fewer and further apart. As upper classmen we assumed new responsibilities and gained new privileges. In setting good examples for our little sisters and trying to give them advice, we not only made new friendships but found ourselves more capable of solving our own problems. We felt more a part of Wesleyan than ever before. Selecting our class rings was an important event of the year. It brought us closer to the realization that graduation was not far beyond. 59 MARGARET ALTMAN . . Atlonto, Gc MARTHA BANKS . . • • • Atlonto, Go BARBARA BAUM . . • • .

SOPHOMORES To Freshmen, the Mighty Sophomores are fearful, block-clad figures marching arrund the courtyard, awe¬ some creatures who demand proper respect. In the eyes of the Juniors, Sophs are rats even yet, amusing in their fierce pretense. Seniors look upon the Sophomore class as beloved sisters who are constantly in need of advice. Yet only a Sophomore knows what it is to renew college friendships for the first time, to terrify Fresh¬ man pirate rats, to thrill to the victories of brave Green Knights, and to sadden at the graduation of Dig sisters. The Sophomore year boasts the least leisure nnd the most labor, yet to this year belong a sincerely heart-felt comradeship and a growing appreciation of Wesleyan daughters for the Fountain of Knowledge, the Oldest and Best. ,i 65 MARY A MBURN . . .

Ask us how it felt to spend our first week here rushing from banquets to hikes to dances to orientation classes. We ' ll tell you we had our hands full doing it while trying to match four hundred new names with that many unfamiliar faces. Ask us what we learned about making friends. We ' ll remember the love we quickly gave to the Golden Hearts, our sister class, and the concessions and adjustments that went into forming many other close ties. Ask us, too, of our mental progress. We ' ll tell you how we invaded the library, slowly and painfully mastering the work which dared us to do our best. Then remind us to tell you of the fun we ' ve had. We ' ll jump at the chance to relive homecoming, the formals, those week-ends with the one and onlys and even Rat Day when we Tri-K ' s were at the mercy of the mighty Sophomores. Finally, if you ' d like, ask us how we feel about our college. But you don ' t have to — we ' ll tell you without any prompting that we love it.

SENIOR CLASS And we laugh, and sing, and hold hearts together, for this is our year. A year for Seniors, a year that bundles together our shadows of Wesleyan. Shadows that remain impregnable in memo¬ ries unforgettable. The lilt of chorusing voices, a mood of music, a painted canvas, a first night. A harvest moon over house tops and the twinkling of a city beyond, a heart beat timed to the beating of rain, a peace and contentment, a flux and heartaches, but only ours could be Wes¬ leyan. So side by side we cry out our challenge — if you can love her as we did, if you can dream and live by her as we did, if you can take your disillusionment and build it into faith as we did — if you can — we surrender our last to you — for she is etched on the lining of our souls and now we can but remember . . . forever. . .

JUNIOR CLASS One rung from the top of the ladder, we pause to look back over our three years at the Oldest and Best! Our first step was hardest . . . falteringly, unsteadily, hesi¬ tantly, we began our college careers as Freshmen. Grad¬ ually we become acclimated to the atmosphere of tradition and culture at the Conservatory . . . the regular hours of crew and practice . . . new friends . . . the thrill of Christmas and Spring formals. As Sophomores we had acquired a bit more confidence, assurance, re¬ sponsibility. Diligently we worked together on the Hallowe ' en Dance and our skit for Stunt Night, and prided ourselves on the results. Memorable occasions were the Sophomore-Senior breakfast when we enter¬ tained the Seniors . . . graduation when we said Good¬ bye to our big sisters. By the time we reached our Junior year we hod acquired the full rank of upperclass¬ men. What a thrill it was to have litte sisters of our own! We loved playing hosts for the Homecoming Dance and working on Stunt Night . . . serving as Junior Mar¬ shals at graduation. Now our glance turns upward to that last step when we shall become Seniors, the attain¬ ment of our goal! 95 JUN Solange Arana, Santurce, Puerto Rico Hallie Atchison, Savannah, Ga Mary Gene Baldwin, West Polm Beach Fla Potty Banks Statesboro, Go Mary Barber Bainbridge, Go Ida Few Bigbie Coleman, Go.

It seems only yesterday that we were wide- eyed freshmen; eager, willing and anxious to begin. Our enthusiasm mounts as we see more clearly the goal we hope to attain. As sophomores, we took every opportunity to give advice to the freshmen, while very discreetly we ran to the upperclassmen for counsel. Next year will be a larger step towards our goal, not to mention the surprises and fun we have in store. Yes, we will still be eager and anxious to begin! 99 A SOPHOMORE JOANNE ALLGOOD, Rockmart, Go.

FRESHMAN CLASS College at last — and were we excited! Wesleyan Conservatory was a fascinating place, so we started out eagerly to explore it. Even as early as Orientation Week with its new faces, I. Q. tests, and get-acquainted par¬ ties, we had discovered the pleasure of trips to the pharm and the pain of climbing thousands of steps daily! We worked hard in classes and on homework and moaned loudly about aching muscles caused by strenuous exer¬ cises in modern dancing. We told our troubles to our sympathetic Junior big sisters, who were typical of all the wonderful Wesleyannes. Almost before we realized it, our first holiday turned up in the form of a delightful barbecue at Rivoli on Bene¬ factors ' Day. Then we looked forward to Homecoming Weekend, Stunt Night, Thanksgiving holidays, and the Christmas formal. After the dreaded mid-year examinations we settled down to o second semester that was equally as enjoyable as the first. Yes, we are now a happy part of the oldest and best. 103 IE S HI Ml A AMELIA ADAMS, Eatonton, Ga. ANN ANDERSON, Atlanta, Ga. ANNE AVENT, Jackson, Miss. BETTY BAILEY, Savannah, Ga.

HAYMOND W Palm Beoch, m •ANN WILLIAMS, - ,,, Palos Verdes Estates, Co IRIAM WRIGHT, Atlanta, Go c am puA AND PUBLICATIONS The sense of belonging at Wesleyan comes from working — from taking part in the extra things on campus. It involves weekly Glee Club practice, hard work on the publications, planning a program for the French Club, or working for Y, A.A., Social Standards, or College Government. It means tak¬ ing on responsibility, but it brings a feeling of satis¬ faction and achievement over o job well done. A O L LEGE Cries of Food, Sandwiches! echoing down the halls each Wednesday and Saturday night meant one phase of College Government activity to oil We lyannes this year, for the roving College Government store sold food to help pay for the new radio-phono- graph in the Student Lounge. But College Government at Wesleyan means more than this. It is the organization through which each Wesleyanne can express herself concerning the reg. ulations of college life. Operating under the honor system in which each student assumes responsibilities for herself and her fellow students, College Government functions through the House Presidents ' Organization, the Executive Board, and the Senate. The latter group considers any demands created by public opinion, which with its approval are passed on to a faculty committee for ratification. Thus, co-operation and interchange of opinion between students, their elected leaders, ond the college administration results in a democratic campus life.

Morning Watch, Vespers, and mid-week chapel programs are regular parts of the Y ' s activities. In the early fall and late spring the Y conducts a Religious Emphasis Week. At this time we are privileged to have with us out¬ standing speakers to lead group discussions and to be available for individual conferences. In October our guest speakers were three foreign students from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. The February session was conducted by Mrs. Abraham, whose subject was Boy-Girl Relations. The World Student Service Fund, the Christmas banquet, and Stunt Night are also included in Y ' s extensive pro¬ gram. The Y Cabinet and its four commissions which are Christian Faith and Heritage, Personal and Cam¬ pus affairs, World Relations and Community Service, seek in every phase of their work to uphold the highest ideals for Wesleyan and its students. SOCIAL JOAN ROUTSO Chairman Social Standards is responsible for many of our favorite memories of Wesleyan. We will often think of the night the gym was transformed into o Pans cafe for the freshman dance — the olumnoe ond students dancing to the music of Jessie Duckworth ' s orchestra at the Homecoming formal — Charm Week with the spring fashion show and the presentation of Miss Charming, and last but not least, May Frolics with the barbecue, May Day, and the Old South Boll Social Standards has also reminded us of those necessary social do ' s and don ' ts.

The association exists not merely for the girls who excel in sports, but for all the students. Its goal is to have each girl take an active part in at least one sport included in the year ' s program. An auxiliary board, the Splinters, made up of twelve freshmen, helps the Athletic Board and the whole association in any and all projects Being a Splinter is an honor, but it is not an honorary job. The Splinters are chosen during the first semester on the basis of athletic ability, leadership ability, and interest. The A.A. sponsors tournaments all during the year. There ore soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball, golf, ping pong, and badminton tournaments. Class sponsored swimming teams also compete. Everyone has a chance and a place waiting in the Athletic Association ' s full program. Lett to right: J. Wootton, C. Knight, S. Holden, B. Nunn, M. Morris, C.

THE WESLEYAN I % ELINOR SMITH Editor Have you ever dreamed of being a writer, of seeing your name in print above a poem or short story ' 5 The Wesleyan provides this opportunity for girls who boast literary talent. By encouraging students to submit articles to its bi-monthly issues, and by spon¬ soring an annual literary contest, the Wesleyan seeks to discover new writers at the College and Conserv¬ atory. The Wesleyan strives to make its issues amus¬ ing and attractive to all of its readers, to follow the moods and trends of the college girl ' s interest. 122 To be presented with the red, green and blue mingled yarn at a chapel service in the spring means that one has been chosen as a Scribe, a coveted honor on the Wesleyan cam¬ pus. But to be a member of the Scribes means not only rec¬ ognition of outstanding liter¬ ary achievement, but also hard work on the spring issue of The Wesleyan, which is edited by the Scribes and contains their contributions.

From Shakespeare to O ' Neil we have the theater ot its best right here on our Rivoli campus, with less grease point and stage props perhaps. Since the reorganization of the Dramatic Club last fall, we have enjoyed quite a number of their date parlor presentations. Th club has also mode arrangements for groups of college students to attend cur¬ rent Broadway productions in Atlanta. Professional talent is not required of its members; a liken for the actin ' is the only must.

SOCIOLOGY CLUB The Sociology Club is a special organization whose mem¬ bership is limited to Sociology majors and students in ad¬ vanced courses. This group, under the leaderhip of its sponsor, Mrs. Emmett Johnson, was organized in September, 1949, which gives it the honor of being the newest club on campus. Because of their interest in community affairs, these girls took as their project the Macon Boys Club. For the time that they have given and their excellent service, we commend this club for its first year ' s achievement. OFFICERS MYRA JANE HOLMAN.President ANNE COMPTON. Vice-President BETTY FOWLER.

ARTS CLUB i i I I The Fine Arts Club helps the college student become familiar with the history of art and also helps them come to appreciate the work of contemporary artists. Under the direction of Mrs. Gulnar Bosch, the club is very active. Trips to the Wesleyan Art Gallery, the Christmas party and the spring bridge tournament are high points in the club ' s calen¬ dar. Unusual and artistic signs announce the club ' s monthly meetings, which non-members often attend. This spring many of the club members went on the trip to New York with Mrs. Bosch.

Its membership includes all of the day students — those lucky gals who are with us in classes and then leave in the afternoon without even so much as signing a pink slip. To keep in close contact with campus affairs, the day students have their own club which meets twice a month. The Town Girls are active in all parts of the college program and are proud additions to our Wesleyan family. OFFICERS ANNE WEAVER.President EMILY PERRY. Vice-President BETTY JEAN WILLIAMS ....

Meetings are held twice a week through¬ out the school year in preparation for local concerts and the out-of-state tour. In January of this year, the Glee Club sang in a joint concert with the Don Cossack Chorus at the Wesleyan Conservatory Chapel. Another highlight of the season was the annual spring tour which included perform¬ ances in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. The club is under the able direction of Vladmir Zorin, and is a project of both the college and the conservatory students. Its varied repetoire and host of talented singers have won for the Glee Club a special place in the school ' s tradition. Standing, left to right: M. Gray, J. Aycock, B Center, A. Richardson, A.

Its functions include a variety of social and religious activities that are necessary for a well-rounded college life. The inspiration of the C.A. is felt doily by each one of us through chapel programs, morning watch and vespers.

It inspires latent talent, subtle imagination and the development for creative writing.

ANDINE RICHARDSON President 144 DANA BEDGOOD President Radio, drama and production majors on the Conservatory campus pool their talents in an active organization, the Speech Club. This club ' s purpose is to promote an interest in all phases of drama and to create among its members a greater feeling of kinship and love for the theater. During the year it sponsors various worthwhile projects; among these, a Christmas party for the children of the Methodist Orphanage and children from the Home for the Blind. SPEECH CLUB ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Although new on the Conservatory campus, the Athletic Association has slowly but surely brought the Fine Arts students up from the practice rooms, down from the shop and out from the art buildings into the sun¬ shine. The new tennis courts, a ping pong table and recognition of ath¬ letic prowess have proved the incentive for whole-hearted participation. ADRIENNE THOMPSON President 146 (Conservatory CCt •ceneS _ A C r H L E T Soccer, swimming, basketball, hockey, volleyball, badminton, ping-pong, archery, softball, tennis, golf all fill Wesleyan ' s athletic calendar — and form a part of college life. The excitement of soccer season, the afternoons and nights of practice for the swimming meet, the fun of a game of golf on a fall afternoon, the call to come play softball after dinner on spring eve¬ nings — ore all memories of our sports life at Wesleyan.

Bottle “ W ” CLUB How did these girls earn their distinctive purple W ' s ? They had to earn 500 athletic points in one year, or else 1500 points during the four year period. For these girls, who are the outstanding athletes on campus, earning the W ' s was fun, even more than it was work. Along with the honor of being a member of the W Club goes respon¬ sibility. The clubs main function is to publicize and promote attendance at all athletic e vents. If a girl walks around the campus with a W sewn on the front of her white sweater and a sign pinned on the back, search no further. This is the person who excels in sports. 150 Tw cm m m 1 k tf ' i mr l i 1 ft A j JL A ft 1 V 1 w A { U m i Front row, left to right: P Tillman, C. Knight, V. Wilson, J. Withers, B.

Neptune, able president, calls club meetings each Monday night, and the Naiads trot to the gym to swim for at least an hour. Try-outs once a year determine the swim¬ mers expert enough to join. The Naiads demonstrate their skill to all in their annual aquacade, presented just before Christmas holidays. The theme this year was a mardi gras enjoyed by different kinds of fish deep down in the sea. The traditional ending for these aquacades is the formation of the Christmas Star. Yes, the Naiads have traditions, for they make up an important part of Wesleyan life. COURTNEY KNIGHT President 151 Seated, left to right: J. Peacock, L Hutchinson, T. Davis, N. Howell, B Russell, F.

SUE HOLDEN President D A N C IE CLUB For beauty and grace of motion, or for just plain exercise, Dance Club members meet on Thursday nights. It is hard to realize how much these girls plan and work, but their successful Variety Show gave ample evidence. So much talent in one club is amazing! The Dance Club ' s main interest is May Day. It is responsible for the dances themselves, the cos¬ tumes, the music, and even the script. There is a lot of work for only one day ' s pleasure, but every member will agree that May Day is worth all the effort it takes. 152 First row: T. Chapman, B. B. Jarrell, S. Barnes, G. Ayers, A.

Some girls take the walks on their own, but all agree that the most fun is a group enterprise. If a girl walks 100 miles in one year, she receives a felt W. Truly, it has been done! GRAY AYERS President 153 i CLUB I CHERIE POE President ENNIS At least one hour a week, these girls get out on the new tennis courts and really play tennis. It takes considerable skill, coordination, and endur¬ ance to qualify as a member of the Tennis Club. Patience, too, helps a lot, for the members give instruction to the Rackettes who are working to become members of the Tennis Club. The club sponsored exhibition matches this year at the formal opening of the new courts. Wesleyan alumna and outstanding players from Macon were invited to participate. Each year a fall singles tournament and spring singles and doubles tournaments decide who ore the outstanding players. The finalists are awarded felt W ' s and automatically become members of the W Club. Ask any member of the Tennis Club how she is getting along. Her answer will be, ' Tm just so busy I don ' t know what to do. LeH to rifbt: C Poc. N King, G A MMhgon. H. Youngblood. C. Bottle. M. B. Horner, J Armstrong, J.
