SOPHOMORE CLASS No mere stepping stone, this ... our Sophomore year. It was a busy and vital portion of the path that would one day lead us to our goals of life. In our second year of study and struggle, happiness and success, we found that we were much like the Conservatory itself ... we delighted in its past and in that part of our own pasts that were integrated with it. We realized that, like our school, we had a future to work for, disappointments to conquer, dreams to realize. During this year we have discovered the firm foundations on which we will build our futures . . . foundations that Wesleyan alone could give us. We know now that Wesleyan is the cornerstone on which we will build our futures. And we look forward gratefully to the two more years that we have to work, conquer, and dream with Wesleyan. 45 S 0 P NANN ANDERSON . . . Atlanta, Georgia MARY FRANCES AXLEY . . Murphy, N. C.

FRESHMAN CLASS Here we are . . . the newest additions to the oldest and best. Yes, we were the freshmen at the Con¬ servatory. And boy! were we excited! We had anxiously awaited this moment for a long time. We thrilled at the royal welcome Orientation Week brought ... the beautiful roses the K. A. s sent our class, and the novelty of the I. Q. tests. But we soon found our proper places pointed out to us when the upper classmen began to arrive. Then, amazement spread through our class as we found that they were ready ad(j eager to be our friends. We especially learned to love the Juniors, for in our big sisters we found kindness, sin¬ cerity, and well-padded shoulders on which we could lean our weary heads when the endless hours of lettering, crew, and practicing became more than we could bear. Somehow we did find time to get prettied up for the Christmas Formal, stunt night, and the barbecue. Time flashed past, and before we knew it, we were no longer the lowly Frosh;” we were a part of the great family of Wesleyannes, and Wesleyan was a part of us forever. 49 R E S H M A N ..

Augusta, Georgia Fort Valley, Georgia Thomasville, Georgia 51 JEANNETTE WILSON 52 It seems incredible that the Golden Hearts could be seniors. When we think of the Golden Heart, we see a long line of classes—the Golden Hearts who came before us, who won the right to have their name on the Stunt Night cup; the ones who will come after us, who will be freshmen next year and who will carry on our proud tradition. But most of all, naturally, the Golden Heart means to us the class of 51. We bounced into Wesleyan as silly freshmen two years after the war, when classes were still on the staggered time schedule. We went through Wesleyan’s last tough Rat Day, chose our beloved Tri-K Sisters, celebrated ground-breaking ceremonies for the Porter Chapel during our first exam week, and took second place in Stunt Night. That freshman year, though farthest away, seems clearer than the others. The golden heart was bright and new to us. Our mighty sophomore year brought our own Rat Day, a winning stunt, glorious good times, and the honor of hooding our big sisters at graduation. Then followed the CLASS O droopy junior slump, with the pleasure of acquiring new Tri-K sisters, but with the loss of half our class and of every event on campus. At times our golden heart has indeed seemed tarnished. Now at last we find ourselves tired old seniors. The home¬ coming banquet with its sudden realization, our last Hal¬ loween and Christmas banquets, a healthy crop of engagement rings, frantic work on our closing night stunt and on May Day — these have marked our golden year. We are enjoying for the last time the myriad benefits and pleasures of Wes¬ leyan. We are realizing that very soon the golden heart of the class of ' 51 will be broken into forty-six individual pieces. Together with the knowledge and wisdom these four years have given us, we will take away in our golden hearts the love for our friends, from the seven classes we have known, our special feeling for our own ever-clever class, and our devotion to Wesleyan, the oldest and best.

When we want to play, Marti is always ready. And when we need someone to suggest homecoming decorations, to work herself to death over Charm Week, or to lend an expert foot to the Golden Heart soccer team, Marti is always cheerfully willing, and very capable.

Twelve o’clock, and here comes Babo clipping down the hall from her date, immaculately dressed, poised and sophis¬ ticated. In her room we find the usual dozen roses as well as some Caruso rec¬ ords, and a book or two on Rouault. But she takes time out from culture to play a quick fifty hands of bridge, or to chat¬ ter about Miami. Ambitious, persevering, and cooperative, Babo has been an effi¬ cient president of the Fine Arts Club, and an indispensable mainstay to Social Standards.

Even when she’s talking about furniture and china, her subtle wit has made us wonder just what she’ll pop up with next. Yet, though busy with wed¬ ding plans, she has filled a big place on the soccer team, and has show r n consist¬ ent scholastic ability through the four years.

For a moment away from the madden¬ ing crowd, let us drop into Burnside’s room, there to enjoy her energetic gusts of chatter, and the warm welcome of her charming roommate, the chaise lounge. She is propped up in bed, sur¬ rounded by reams of notes on Rousseau, scrawled in her slanting, illegible hand. Burnside is the most loyal and trust¬ worthy of friends, is always glad to be interrupted, is always ready for some bridge, and is always able to raise a giggle from us with her hilarious anec¬ dotes.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, chat¬ ting amiably and entertainingly, Genny can pick up the stitches we’ve dropped, untangle the bobbins we’ve snarled, and find the needles we’ve lost. Her expert fingers put down the colorful argyle only to pick up a hand of bridge—never a book. We find in her an interested listener, a fascinating conversationalist, and a most loyal friend. But catch her be¬ fore 8:00 every night, for there goes Genny, looking like something from Vogue, out on a date, as usual. Transfer Chevy Chase Junior Col¬ lege; Sociology Club 3, 4.

Among the customary mumblcrs and whisperers of the study parlor group we find Helen, silent and undisturbed in her own private world, studying or gazing into space. With the ringing of the bell, she starts, and turns to conducting an inspiring Taps program. Back in her room, she is ready to talk to us a minute —generous with her understanding, sen¬ sitive to any situation, unpretentious, optimistic, and sincere in her tactful ad¬ vice.

Enviously, we do wonder at her magnetic charm, her fresh, natural beauty, her naive, gentle and poised ways.

Her quiet, self-contained reserve conceals a fun-lov¬ ing nature, strong and purposeful char¬ acter, and a completely surprising, cryp¬ tic wit. She is conscientious; she knows the true meaning of charity; she seems to love to study, but there is a warm friendliness in the reproachful good humor with which she lends us her his¬ tory notes, or explains Hamlet. Her poise, her depth, are alluring, and Frances is a lady to her finger-tips.

But some few fortunate nightowls may have spent the hours from one to six a.m. in profound discussion with this thinker, as she sits in one corner of the study parlor, wrapped in a fur coat.

Ten minutes later she’s on the soccer field, yelling encouragement, or in student chapel, leaning over the podium and frowning at her A. A. notebook.

Sincere and thorough in her scholastic work, her serious side is bal¬ anced by her hilarious light sarcasm, her quick and perspicacious comments on any situation.

We jump out of her way, never failing to be impressed by the vibrant energy and capacity for endless, grueling work of our efficient editor. We are sur¬ prised by her versatility—her activities take in hard work on the stunts, and all varieties of sports. She has her quiet, pensive moments, but most of the time Little Jane is a fast-moving, devastating ball of fire.

Laughter rings out down the hall and we know Peggy has made another funny in her soft Southern drawl. Effervescent and enthusiastic, she is always up to something, never idle, never still. Her sophisticated air is misleading; she is sweet and naive as a sixteen-year-old. She is beautiful and charming, whether driving her new Buick or getting out of bed in the morning. And Peggy can do anything—take the lead in a Dance Club program, keep a stunt rehearsal in stitches, or give some good friendly advice. Transfer Armstrong Junior Col¬ lege.

Nancy is the girl we look for when we want the right answer, whether our problem is comparative anatomy, our date-life, or the acquisition of six dollars change in nickels. Her even-tempered cheerfulness, and her spontaneous friend¬ liness, are contagious. She is an absorbing conversationalist, a satisfying companion, a devastating competitor. Nancy is a perfectionist—scholastically, athletically, spiritually. If we want a ukelelc accom¬ panist, an up-to-the-minute news analy¬ sis, or a fascinating talc about Speer, look for Nancy, the girl with the diamond.

She is de¬ pendable and capable, always willing to help and never losing her pleasant smile. Her sunny disposition is never ruffled; she remains calm and poised through the turmoil of athletics, Dance Club reviews, and sociology tests.

Sponsor Secretary T reasurer Realizing that half their college career was already behind them, the class of 52 marched bravely into their junior year. True, some favorite faces were missing from their ranks, but that green knight spirit was as strong as ever, whether the foe was a soccer team or William Shakespeare. Although they were often out-numbered, they were seldom outdone in support. 1951 brought to the juniors a new home in Banks with the seniors, new roles as junior counselors to the freshmen, and a new viewpoint of Rat Day by the sophomores. This time they watched and reminisced. One event, however, was of such a nature that the juniors could share it with no one. That was, of course, the arrival of the senior rings. And with their arrival came the transition of a dream to a reality. They would soon be seniors, for here was tangible proof that that day was not long off. They survived the Junior Slump with flying colors and came out smiling after every tribulation. Best of all, they grew closer together, becoming even better friends as they came together again for the third time at Wesleyan. Yet wherever they go or regardless of how often they meet, there’s the assurance that they’ll always be proud to say, We’re the Class of 52!” 1 ' 77 — ANN ARMISTEAD JEAN ARMSTRONG BETTY BANKS CHARLOTTE BATTLE Atlanta, Ga.

A word that as freshmen we feared, then respected, a word that now we are proud to claim as our own. And always it will be a magic word to the Tri-K’s of 5 3, for associated with it are memories of midnight parties, renewed and growing friendships, dances, dormitory plays, Tri-K victories, hard work and even a few restrictions. It recalls for us our feelings of importance as we ruled the Rat Knights with their skinny horses, the treasured talks with our big sisters, and a deepening respect for our college. And sophomore has still another meaning—the half-way mark in college life. We stand there now remembering the full, happy experiences of the past two years, and together we await eagerly yet seriously our next two years at Wesleyan, our Fountain of Knowledge” and our foundation for life.

We found it a friendly world, offering us its knowledge, its laughs, its secrets, its love. By 5 A. D., we knew almost its every nook and corner, face and smile. Alas, before we were yet on our feet there swept over us a great Barbarian Invasion, better known as Rat Day ’. But this was overcome, and with its experience and the guidance of our allies, the Junior Class, we united our hearts around the brave Purple Knights. Our chance to prove our nation great came with the international, Olympic game, soccer. We fought a good fight and were defeated only in the last campaign. Then, the Homecoming Dance and Christmas vacation brightened our days. But, o woe, in 129 A. IX, as history goes, we elapsed into the Dark Ages. Our thirst for knowledge, for books, for culture had vanished. We sought only unknown sleep and passing our exams. The end of the Dark Ages brought the beginning of a glorious Renaissance—a rebirth of learning, yes, but also a newborn class spirit and great plans for the future—the coming winter formal, stunt night and basketball. Now we have become a vital part of this little world of ours; its hopes are our hopes; its goals, our goals. And so it is with many fond memories that we record our first history, the story of our Freshman year at Wesleyan. 91 — ANN AIKEN . . . BARBARA ALDRICH LOIDA ARIAS . .

Each succeeding year, the editors and staff members have tried to make this publication a source of lasting enjoyment to Wesleyannes and a means of recalling the hap¬ piest memories of college life. The Veterropt as a joint publi¬ cation of the Liberal Arts College and the School of Fine Arts, sym¬ bolizes the unity of a college which has two campuses and two curri- culums. It reflects the spirit of an educational institution whose history and tradition are worthy of the motto Vcterrimus et Opti- mus”, meaning the oldest and best.

Reporters Wesleyan’s newspaper staff sent twelve issues to press during the school year 1950-1951—six under the name of Watchtoucr , the other six with Town Country on the nameplate. This is a renovation of which we are very proud, which we find most suitable under the circumstances, and which we lovingly refer to as T. C. No one who has escaped a smear of printer ' s ink can appreciate the goings-on in room 218 Banks, newly adopted T. C. dormitory office. As the case really is, those who proudly call themselves staff face hard hours, constant reporting that has no regard for study schedules. In remembering the year we adopted a new name and switched to modern make-up will come the recollection of our first delegation to the A. C. P. conference in Chicago. With the outgoing of another school term another epoch in the history of Wesleyan has gone down in print through the hands of an organization that live by one word— deadline. REPORTERS: A.

The Wesleyan has as its purpose the discovery of talent in creative writing on both campuses. It is a reflection of the stu¬ dents—what they think, how they feel, what their interests are. Subscription to The Wesleyan is free of charge, since its budget is provided for in the school budget. The magazine is published four times a year—twice each semester. The last issue of the year is the publication of the Scribes, an honorary literary organization on campus. Left to right: C. Battle, V. Mackay, E. Smith, J. Mann, F. Drew, P. Buhl, J. Armstrong.

SCRIBES Each spring at an impressive chapel ceremony the red, green, and blue-mingled yarn, the badge of this honorary organization called Scribes, is awarded to those who have shown outstanding literary ability. The purpose of the organization is to recognize young writers and to stimulate creative activity. To be chosen a member is the most distinctive literary honor at Wesleyan. The Scribes’ issue of the Wesleyan published each spring contains their writings and is eagerly awaited by those interested in the Dorothy Parkers and Edna St. Vincent Millays of tomorrow. ELINOR SMITH President 115 wmm .■ 1 DAY WILSON Vice-President The Wesleyan community is a self-governing one, because, we, the students, have a hand in making the rules by which we are gov¬ erned. This democratic way of life is represented by the College Gov¬ ernment Association with its two main branches, the House Presi¬ dents Organization and the Execu¬ tive Board—those mysterious groups of individuals who meet behind closed doors twice each week to discuss the activities of Wcsleyanncs who have departed from the beaten path prescribed by the handbook.

A. at Wesleyan has attempted to be the creative influci in leading the spiritual life of the student body. This job varies with every year in i effort to include many people, and at the same time to be incisive in its Christian acti Two Religion in Life Weeks, the vespers, morning watch and taps programs, the periods to put the Y” emphasis on worship. Through the commission syst we put the emphasis on study and action. We have planned bull sessions on cum world problems. We view the economic tension surrounding us. We listen to speak who give us new perspectives. We try to look through Christian eyes at situations a people—and then act. Stunt Night and the Christmas banquet arc two of the more colorful occasi sponsored by Y M . But many of the behind-thc-scene” jobs arc just as importa if less spectacular—like raising money to sponsor a displaced student, or giving servants a party at Christmas. Through its five commissions, the Y. W. C. A. keeps us in touch with the outs world. It attempts in every phase of its work to maintain the high ideals upon wh Wesleyan was founded.

Treasurer To those fortunate ones who can habla cspanol mysterious doors are opened—those leading to the monthly meetings of the Curiculo Espauol or the Spanish Club. These senoritas from the intermediate and advanced Spanish classes enjoy skits, di scussions, songs and quizzes which give to their audience and participants a deeper understanding of the life and literature of Spain and Latin America. The meetings are conducted entirely in Spanish. SPANISH CLUB First row: E. Perry, D. Weathers, M. Mitchell, B. Burns, B. Neylans, C. Casey. Second row: J. Jennings, M. Bennett, F. Girard cau, B. J.

If you should pass by the date parlor and hear an unintelligible torrent of chatter within, then assure yourself that it is the first Wednesday in the month and the French Club is in session. These girls learn about the customs and people of France and have a wonderful time doing it. They give plays, see slides and play games and, what’s more, they actually understand what’s going on even though the meetings arc conducted entirely in French. OFFICERS BETTY BURNSIDE.

They arc instrumental in bringing lecturers to Wesleyan not only for themselves, but also for those of the student body who arc interested in fine arts. In addition to the bridge tournament and the annual Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Gulnar Bosch, who is sponsor of the club, many unique programs have been presented at the monthly meetings. Outstanding ones were tapestry making, free hand drawing, a study on Japanese wood block prints, a report on European trips made during the summer by members, and a study of European slides and Conservatory gallery exhibits.

Even though its primary aim is to promote interest in the classics, all programs do not consist of long discourses on our Greek and Latin predecessors. Proof of this were the picnic early in the year and the Christmas Saturnalia with its fortune-telling and Helen of Troy play. Also if you’ve bought candy in the dorm this year, you just might have bought it from one of the Classical Club members. OFFICERS NELLIE HOWELL. President GLORIA COBB. Vice-President FRANCES DREW.

A note-worthy program on campus this year was the Effective Christian Citizenship week jointly sponsored with the Y” and the International Relations Club. CAROLINE HOPKINS Pretident The aim of the L.

She is only planning an evening of fun for the members of the Macon Boys Club—the project of the Wes’Soc Club. Nor must you let this enigmatic name bewilder you—it’s the new abbreviated title of the almost new Wesleyan Sociology Club. Organized only a year ago this group of Sociology majors under the direction of Mrs. Emmett Johnson interests itself in community affairs and gives evi¬ dence of its interests in its service to the young boys of Macon. 127 E. K.

At least not when you have the talent of these young actresses. They can converse as glibly about troops and grease paint and ad libs as any veteran trouper. And their productions received excellent reviews from all Wesleyan critics. They possess a genuine liking for the theater and work to promote wider interest and develop latent talent.

The purpose of Wesleyan ' s Athletic Association is the promotion of interest and opportunity in campus athletics. The heart of A. A. is You, the individual student. Its policy is to sponsor a program so extensive and varied that each student may find activi¬ ties to suit her particular capabilities and interest and thus each student may take an active part in the association. The governing body is the Athletic Board. The board includes the four Asso. officers, its 10 managers, 4 representatives, and an advisor. An auxiliary board. The Splinters, comprised of twelve freshmen, helps the Athletic Board in any and all projects. The Splinters are chosen duirng the first semester on the basis of athletic ability, leadership, ability and interest. Being a Splinter is an honor, but it is not an honorary job. A. A. conducts tournaments all during the year. There arc tournaments in soccer, hockey, tennis, ping-pong, badminton, volleyball, basketball, archery, golf, and baseball. The association sponsors a swimming marathon and an intramural swimming meet. It also endorses six athletic clubs. Wesleyannes are urged to parti¬ cipate in the Athletic Association ' s full program. ♦ f t SPLINTERS First row: J. Hinson, D. Chitwood, J. Malone, N. Warren. Second row: J .Cordova, N. Connell, N.

The sea nymphs who are chosen portray their skills in December at the annual Aquacade; this year the water pageant, Alice in Waterland , carried out the memory theme with childhood and nursery rhymes, college and football weekends, ending with marriage and the wedding ceremony. The Naiads not only practice every night preceding the aquacade, but they also swim once a week all year for their own enjoyment. There has been some talk of establishing a junior Naiad club to teach the novices how to be experienced swimmers. Both the college and the conservatory are represented in this club. In fact, one of the officers and star performers comes out to Rivoli to swim with her fellow club members. Our hats are off to Wesleyan’s Naiads. HELEN BLACKMARR President First row: C. Knight, P.

These selected dancers meet once a week to practice grace, beauty, and coordination that are necessary to make this program successful. This year the club presented a Disc Jockey” show in January that was a great success. Their skills in tap, ballet, and toe dancing proved that they are not only capable but also talented girls.

Every other week group hikes of two to six miles are planned by president Jackie and her assistant, Mary Ann Coggin. Some of the hikes include outdoor suppers by the campfire or special bicycle hikes along untravelcd roads. As a reward for this work, a girl receives athletic points for each mile she walks; if she travels one hundred miles, she receives a hiking W”. At the rate of two hikes a month and a little outside walking, this great feat can be accomplished! JACKIE WARD President First row: H. Willis, M. J. Wood, S. Smith, Ross, B. West, B.
