74 e IS 5Z VETER DEDICATION Jh T)L XiLrJ -Arts CJl eye You have tried to supply the things missing in ordinary school life. How can we ever forget eating popcorn before an open fire, raiding an ice box filled to overflowing, relaxing in a home that made us feel welcome? From the students who have loved you for your interest, your example and your devotion above and beyond the call of duty, comes this dedication. MR. and MRS. EMMETT S. JOHNSON JEANETTE W. OLIPHANT Our friend and mother-confessor, whom we love and trust—smart, good-natured, untiring, working day and night for her girls. She became dean three years ago, taking each of us to her heart and helping each of us with our troubles. Because of these things, the Senior Class is happy to dedicate the ' 52 edition of the Veter- ropt to Mrs. Oliphant, our beloved friend. Of 5 ine Jh 5L IN MEMORIAM DR. SILAS JOHNSON He gave his faith, his direction, his guidance and his life to Wesleyan. From his example we know that continued striving, perseverance and unfaltering faith bring realization to a cause that is just and good. In humility we recognize ourselves as a part of the cause for which he strove. In Wesleyan Dr. Johnson will always live because he is a part of her. 6 oreu on Just as no picture can show all the facets of a personality, so can no year-book include all the events of Wesleyan life. We give to you the outline—the Silhouette- to be filled in from your own store of memories.

Mitchell CLASS JEAN ARMSTRONG.President DELMA FINDLAY.Vice President Compare a Green Knight with a tree. She was only a seed when she was planted here ( along with a hundred and forty-four others. She felt as if she were to be buried forever—never to grow up and become an honored member of the forest. She was too insignificant—only a freshman. But she felt better when she and others of her lowly class almost won the soccer cup. As a sapling she branched out enough to win the soccer cup, the tennis and basketball cups, and, best of all, the Stunt Night cup. Before she knew it she was taking an upperclass¬ man ' s place in Banks Hall. She made a special place in her heart, now, for the newest seeds, whom she called Sisters, sheltering them as best she could OFFICERS MARELLA MITCHELL.Secretary ALICE WELDON.Treasurer beneath her spreading branches. She tried, but just couldn ' t keep her awards—except one—the Stunt Night cup. Then, quite suddenly one day, she awoke to find herself a senior and about to outgrow the familiar forest. And while her branches reached toward the great wide spaces beyond, she felt a trifle nostalgic about leaving the shelter she had known so long. She was planted, watered, cultivated, and pruned in the forest. And now the forest has finished its job. Our Green Knight is free. Free to do as she pleases? Yes. But free from mem¬ ories? Never. For a seed can never forget what gave it life and understanding. Nor can a Green Knight for¬ get Wesleyan. 23 S E JEAN . . . A lithe figure, a blend of charm and sparkle, we will remember Jean pre¬ siding at class meeting, sitting in sen¬ ate, or merely conversing in the hall. We will close our eyes and see the image of a darting figure on the soc¬ cer field. Was that a suitcase clamp¬ ing shut?—That ' s Jean, on her way to Atlanta.

With slow easy move¬ ments she crosses her languid legs Indian-fashion to sit on the bed. Toss¬ ing a strand of hair back from her face, she smiles with the same slow, easy smile which meets every crisis from a soccer game to stunt night. Calm, cool and collected she sits on the foot of the bed, waiting for some¬ one to deal the next hand of bridge.

Here is a sprite with a double nature. We will remember her as kind and sweet, the angel ’ ' BerrY we saw on her door. But there is also another side to her nature revealed by the mis¬ chievous smile that is often seen to creep into her eyes and twinkle there. She is a real troup¬ er, whether in an impromptu performance or in one of her stunt roles—remember Lukie, the boy from the country? Yes, life with Berry is never dull. PATRICIA BERRY Atlanta, Ga. History MARTHA... She joined us quietly, a welcome addition to our class. She was like a gentle breeze, light and free, seldom heard, but delightful. She walks as she dances, airy footsteps barely seeming to touch the ground. Hers was a smile that defied the blackest cloud. We only had her as a member of our class for a year, but it was long enough to know and love her well.

Religion PEG... She was a philosopher and a clown. Know¬ ing her was like tasting many things you par¬ ticularly like at the same time. There was the tang of a biting wit, the mellowness of a vibrant voice, the sparkle of a gay personality. Who can forget her as Op Cit, the Egyptian politician running for Pharoah, or even as the old Deacon on St. Simon ' s? League of Women Voters, WesSoc Club. YWCA Cabinet.

Suddenly, it bursts open and there she stands on the threshold, her eyes spread wide with wonder and her mind teeming with thoughts. Parkie was already for discussion, no matter how serious or light the subject. Transfer from Young Harris College; Classical Club 3 , 4 . WesSoc Club 4. PAULINA BUHL Knoxville, Tenn. English PAULINA... Integrity is written on the face and shines in the eyes of one who strives and succeeds. A brilliant mind applied itself and earned a repu¬ tation worthy of note. Yet all was not dull routine. A rare sense of humor appeared quite often in little quips and bursts of laughter. We watched and envied; we remember and admire.

Psychology FRANCES... A roaring car screeches to a halt and out she jumps. Snatching up books, she marches to class. She saunters from class to class, never hurried, never disturbed. But underneath the aura of nonchalance there lies a mind awake and interested. She has learned the knack of living calmly and quietly yet not without en¬ thusiasm.

Dimples of glee light her face and eyes when she returns. Quickly she adds the last finishing touches to her appear¬ ance and sits quietly waiting for her date to arrive—resembling a Christ¬ mas angel—blonde hair shining to match her glowing eyes.

A rainbow of smiles and vibrant voice enhances the becoming naivite of our class beauty. To Liz school is somewhat of a passing fancy, Easter being the highlight of her senior year. But Liz has a modesty and grace that is apparent on the dance floor, play¬ ing a hand of bridge in the dormitory or even on the soccer field. Glee Club 1; Crucible Club 2. 3. 4; Sociology Club 2. 3.

The record player emits the voice of a sobbing crooner. There propped up against a huge pillow on the bed is Delma working hard at — yes! — a crossword puzzle. Trying on dress after dress is standard procedure for Delma before a dance. But at last she is ready. The door bangs and she waves excitedly. There on the floor lies the puzzle book with its owner ' s name scrawled across the cover— Delma.

Traces of a northern accent still linger in the voice of one whose heart is truly southern. We know when she is happy by her unchecked enthusiasm. We also recognize her moods of despondency, for lane is never one to hide her feelings. This lack of restraint coupled with an un¬ derstanding heart has endeared her to us. We shall always remember this blonde ingenue. League of Women Voters 1, 4; Classical Club 4. BEVERLY... A clear, high voice rings out. The notes dance and shimmer in the sun¬ light. When there is no sun, they greet a dreary sky exuberantly and make the raindrops twinkle. A soul expresses itself in vibrant melody. Yet, sometimes the song is sad, sob¬ bing softly, creeping into our hearts. Someday the songstress will leave quietly, and the notes no longer vi¬ brate. Still, in the memory of those who hear, there will live a song and ihe face of one who smiled. Glee Club 3: Mutic Club 3, 4: WeeSoc Club 4; Tran.ler from Andrew Colleqe. ANN...

For Caroline is our diplomat—our contribution to international poli¬ tics. The aura is shattered only by the appear¬ ance of a smile, the carefree smile of a little girl.

Remember the intonations of a gentle voice— softly spoken English, but infinitely softer French brown eyes, lighting up with a line of poetry or a subtle joke? We hear muffled footsteps like the tread of little cat feet as Dody goes from one room to another, gathering up an armload of photographs here, a Greek book there. She laughs with an almost mystical quietness at this confusion and moves on. Glee Club 1; French Club 1. Treasurer 2.

Beneath an unpretentious manner lies a vast store of talents—we see her playing the organ or piano, acting, or reading poetry. We smile when we remember the picture of a figure run¬ ning pell-mell, trying to be on time. Then, senti¬ mentally, we remember her love for horses and Japanese poetry, her eagerness to help, her generosity. Yes, here is a many-sided person¬ ality.

In a twinkling she is back, dressing hurriedly to go out again. This is Joan—a trim little figure, an animated face, sometimes excited, often dramatic, but always ready for fun.

There on the bed with a book in her hand is Nancy- asleep. Or perhaps you find her dressing, or combing her hair meticulously. On closer view you will see a pretty face with an almost devil¬ ish smile. You will discover, too, that she is an intent listener, ready to laugh at your good fortune or hear your troubles.

MAGGIE... A graceful maid stands poised on the edge of the pool then dives, splitting the water clean ly, easily. Only an almost imperceptible ripple remains in lieu of disappearing toes.

Remember a dim light casting a shadow of a typewriter on the wall —the click of footsteps from the kitch¬ en to the end room of second floor—a smile and friendly hello. A tireless stunt chairman and TC Editor? Yes, that ' s Jody. These and many other memories come to mind. The aroma of coffee is not as strong, and a chair in the study parlor is empty.

Here is June —sugar and spice femininity whether studying industriously or tranquilly knitting. Scenes creep slowly but vividly to the mind ' s eye, intangible yet real. We never quite understand hew June can accomplish so much with so little apparent effort and have lime for those innumerable week-end trips—a knack that arouses our envy.

A scale of laughter, indicative of buffoonery, comes tumbling down the hall, strains of Scheherezade mingle with the whirr of shuffled bridge cards. A deadpan clown sits strumming a ukelele. Then comes a change of scene: silence is unbroken only by the clack of a typewriter or the rustle of pages slowly being turned. At work or at play Suzanne is an incomparable personality.

To those who have tried to beat it, the Mitchell system of bridge is guar¬ anteed better than Culbertson ' s—or at least more exciting. She applies the same intuitive powers to her ten¬ nis and basketball, and even to Miss Candler ' s history tests.

We always know where to find her by the identifying strains of Blue Tango. And we always find her busy, analyzing hymns, writing seminar papers or building clothes dryers for Campcraft. And all is ac¬ complished in the neat manner char¬ acteristic of her. Spanish Club 1, 2. 3; Day Students ' Organ¬ ization 1, 2. 3; Glee Club 2 .3. 4; Y Cabinet 3; WesSoc Club 4. PAT . . .

A petite figure trips in with a book of cross¬ word puzzles under her arm. Here is Jackie whose spontaneous and irresistible laughter immediately puts us in a gay mood. Her twink¬ ling eyes and pert turned-up nose set of her almost mocking smile. She is a natural for a cheerleader — her pep and spirit always high. In the spring we find the smile even merrier for there was a sparkle on her finger to match the twinkle in her eyes.

Let ' s visit the pool now where we find a sprightly mermaid—well, almost a mermaid, for she swims as though she belongs to the water. But she is quite at home on land, too.

We liked to listen to a rich voice, only slightly accented, for Virve quickly became American¬ ized. Still there was just enough accent to make her an intriguing personality—a trifle mysteri¬ ous, perhaps. She was the spice that made the flavor just right—the extra touch to make our class complete.

The Junior Slump was something unheard of to the Class of ' 52. We threw off the Sophomoric attitude of superiority and indifference and became more con¬ scious of the seriousness of our situation. We were Juniors in college! Often we relapsed into childish enthusiasm over a new victory in sports, our class rings, or the shower of pins, engagement rings, and weddings. And remember the soccer cup? But it was not all play. It took work and lots of it, from everyone as a unit, to achieve our final victories. That was the nicest part of all. We could, at last, work as a unit. Everyone had a job to do and she did it well. Now as we approach the threshold of our final year at Wesleyan, we can look back and be proud of the things we will have to remember. We can go into our last act full of confidence and eagerness to stare the future full in the face and cry— Everything will turn our right! 41 Barber. Elizabeth Orlando. Fla. Bell.

Secretary BETTY BATE.Treasurer Dear Family: It seems impossible that the halfway mark of my college life is almost here. Of course, there is the little matter of exams to be endured before it is certain that I will be a Junior next year. When I first came back this year, I thought that Wor¬ tham Hall would never be like home (don t get me wrong—school home, I mean). It was hard to see two strangers occupying my old room in Persons where our group had gathered for so many birthday parties and gab-sessions, but soon I realized that days of greater companionship with Wesleyannes lay ahead. I found there were great responsibilities attached to the honor of being a Sophomore. All of us Sophs shared the duty of subduing the unruly Freshmen by forcing them to entertain us with antics appropriate to the court jesters of the miqhtv Purple Knights! Everything seemed to move so fast this year. Home¬ coming, the Christmas Banquet, the Winter Formal, and Stunt Night have practically tripped over each other in their haste. Now it is almost time for our sister class to graduate, but it is consoling to think that what Wes¬ leyan is losing by their going, the world i3 gaining. You both said that I grew up while I was away last year. It seems to me that my whole way of looking at things is different. It ' s wonderful to feel that I am working for the same goals as my classmates. We are learning something here that cannot be gotten from books and hours spent in the library. I ' ve learned the principles of integrity, friendship, teamwork, and love for my class, but above all I have a deepening respect for the world that is Wesleyan and for the place in the world of ideals that Wesleyan holds. Love to both of you, Your Sophomore. 47 48 I 1 I § s � Clement . Joan.Cordele, Ga. Coggin. Marianne.Miami. Fla. Coleman. Carole.Marietta. Ga. Connell. Nancy.Newnan, Ga. Conrad. Barbara.Sarasota. Fla.

Soccer heard the Golden Hearts Show their spirit with cheers, While Homecoming saw each humble heart Fight to keep back tears. After days of work and play We united as one once more, Together we stocd at our Christmas Banquet Singing carols we all adore. Volleyball and basketball came And up we loomed once more, As the gym saw numerous golden hats Go in and out the door. For days we worked and practiced For our very first Stunt Night, We loved its gay excitement And we pitched into the fight. We may have had our water fights As many others have done, And though it caused us trouble, Those egg fights sure were funl But now the year is over And sadly we must part, But its memories will forever be In every Golden Heart.

Col¬ lege! Four years out of life become the basis and a genuine, firm foundation upon which the remainder of our span of life shall rest. Seniors! How immense that fact of our status looms; none but seniors can know the significance of it, and our realization comes only in moments of deep meditation. As we review the mani¬ fold experiences made so rich by the sharing of them with classmates and friends, we realize that the past four years have been, after all, an era of carefree and abundant living. Events small and momentous have taken place, that have and will be instrumental in shaping our future destinies. At this time, when memory and introspection abound, we realize that the old prov¬ erb, As ye sow, so shall ye reap 1 is full of meaning and truth for us. Our class has sown, and when we gather in the crop, each member of the Class of 1952 is hoping that we shall reap the good harvest toward which we have worked and aimed together. i 61 MYRA JO ZETTEROWER Statesboro, Georgia Acting JO Our southern belle with quick wit that ' s Jo.

Painting RUTH •A i CHRISTINE FLAKE Decatur, Georgia Speech CHRIS ' ESTO SMITH Macon, Georgia Music Education ESTO Our one male member, and he ' s one in a million. Admired for his perpetual good humor, Esto can suc¬ cessfully combine the humorous and serious sides of life and he has con¬ tributed much of his individual tal¬ ents to the class of ' 52. His interest and love for music have brought rich rewards for Esto and we know the two very important members of his family have given him great inspira¬ tion. As Carmen or as himself, Esto is truly an outstanding and admired person. Quietly, this artist patters through our thoughts, with a refreshing pic¬ ture of a little girl with a big heart. Her painting receives her endless patience and ability but Ruth never neglects her friends. A Yankee, the South is proud to claim, Ruth ' s indi¬ viduality has helped make our years complete and we will be forever grateful.

Our years as the class of ' 52 will al¬ ways bring to mind the girl with tb sweet smile bestowed on everyon a voice that wants to help and a pe- sonality we love and depend upon.

This year we became aware of the traditions of th9 oldest and best. As Wesleyannes, we learned to live up to these traditions, and because of them to better develop our ideals of life. The many wonderful friends we gained this year made us not just another class, but a group of mature, sincere individuals with many common interests and aims. As the days of our Junior year, filled with our many studies and school activities, slowly fade away we see across the horizons our Senior year—the year for which we have worked and the goal of which we have dreamed. 71 JUNIOR CLASS ESTHER ALEXANDER Atlanta, Ga.

Now we can speak of Picasso, Ravel or Ibsen as familiarly as we order hot dogs at the Pharm. We have worked and found time for play.

Time passed, and although engaged in our studying, lettering, crew, and practicing, we elected our class offi¬ cers, started working on the annual, and attended the dances. We were thrilled on Stunt Night when we received the silver loving cup for the winning class stunt! Along with the fun and work of school came a realization that we are the future leaders of America. We will not fail to accept this challenge nor to justify the faith placed on us. To us belongs the future. With all this in mind we look forward to our future years at Wesleyan.

Counterparts of the federal government are found in the Executive Board, House Presidents Organization, and Judicial Board. Further the students voice their opinions of the government through the Senate, made up of representatives from all major organizations and classes on campus. To enhance its democracy the College Government Association is based upon an Honor System which places upon every student an equal responsibility in adopting, adapting, and upholding worthy goals of life.

Lights, camera, action and the curtain goes up on Y . Fall and Spring Re¬ treats, planning ahead — Freshman orientation week, the mad dashes to help the new Wesleyannes find their places—the Pastors ' Party to meet your pastors in the downtown churches—Stunt Night, the gala campus festivity—Peanut Week, a new pal and many new friends—the Friend Ship Drive, new acquaintances in the far off Orient, Hiroshima, Japan—the Displaced Person student, the reality of helping another . . . Chapel Choir, Christian Vocations Week, Religious Emphasis Week, morning watch, vespers, taps, Campus Wide Y meetings—-all have the purpose of finding the Christian perspective and establishing goals through worship and concern. Y is interested in places, things, situations—yes. But its main interest is people—their feelings, thoughts, likes, dislikes. As Y seeks to help build lives that have purpose, the curtain falls on the Wesleyannes— silhouettes of the future. Y.W.C.A.

Also for the freshmen, a fashion show was held, giving them an idea of what to wear and when and where to wear it. A big event for everybody at school was Fall Frolics with the theme of the dance being Two Silhou- ettes —and highlighted by the Social Standards lead- out. The boys in blue from Warner Robins paid us a visit several times for dances especially for them. Also, the boys at Turner Field in Albany were honored at an informal dance. Of course all year Social Standards kept close tab on the kerchiefs in the dining room and chewing gum in classes by giving those little demons called watch- birds. Charm Week wes especially exciting and informa¬ tive this year with a chic speaker from the New York Revlon College Board, a brilliant fashion show, and the ever popular male forum. The Winter Formal brought Charm Week to a close with the theme being a Valentine Dance and the color motif—red and white, of course! Miss Charming and Mr. Wesleyandy were presented at the dance. On the third Wednesday night of every month Social Standards played hostess to all the students and faculty at a musical program and after-dinner coffee. The biggest week-end of the year was also the last really eventful weekend. This, of course, was Spring Frolics. The May Queen and her court were presented in a very impressive ceremony of breathtaking beauty. That night girls in filmy evening dresses danced with their favorite beaux at the Spring Formal, bringing the busy and full year to an end.

Rostand The Wesleyan, our campus magazine, consists of original writ- I ings by College and Conservatory students. By encouraging stu- 1 dents to submit their writings, the Wesleyan provides an oppor- I tunity for the future writers of tomorrow to boost their literary ] talent. The magazine is published four times a year with the last issue I written entirely by the Scribes. To be a Scribe is the highest 1 literary honor a student can obtain. Each spring in an impressive chapel ceremony the Scribes are announced and given the coveted red, blue, and green mingled yard which represents the plot, character, and style of their writings. These students are chosen from the sophomore, junior 1 and senior classes on the basis of their writing ability and their ] contributions to the Wesleyan and other publications on the j campus.

However, we do not stop there. We carry this art to our audiences to instruct, to inspire, and to entertain them. As long as we do this we feel that we accomplish our purpose. When we cease to do this—we fail. ACTiNG MAJORS PRACTICING FOR NEXT PRODUCTION FRONT ROW: Barbara Walking. Venita Owens. Sl eila Rubel. SECOND ROW: Dana Perry. Gayle Attaway. Jo Zetter;wer.

MAHY ANN FITZGERALD President MUSIC CLUB Our music club has endeavored to and succeeded in stimulating our musical interests and is an integral part of our Conservatory life. Composed of all inter¬ ested students, the club is valued of us all for its help in increasing our musical knowledge through performance, discussion, and entertainment. ART L U B The arts of painting, ceramics and fashion are for all, and each is a part of our living. Through our club, with its discussions, sketching trips, and lec¬ tures, we can make it a part of our life and experience. ALL IS NOT WORK • • • ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Spirit, teamwork, vigor and determination! These four qualities comprise the forward ideals of the Wes¬ leyan Athletic Association, its sole purpose being the promotion of interest and opportunity in campus life. Every student is enthusiastically invited to participate in A.A. ' s well-rounded sports program which can be adapted to the needs and capabilities of all. This year Wesleyan ' s Athletic program consisted of three major sports: soccer, basketball and swimming, and eight minor sports: tennis, badminton, volleyball, archery, baseball, golf, fencing, and ping-pong. Team¬ work, individual activities, tournaments and just plain play provide a recreational background that makes a Wesleyanne ' s life complete. The Wesleyan Athletic Board acts as the governing body that plans out to perfection its numerous activities. Splinters, Chips off the A.A. Board act as an auxiliary organization by working with the board in many of the necessary, but often thankless, tasks. This year it was A.A. ' s pleasure to play hostess to the G.A.F.C.W. Conference, present at which were the leaders of athletic activities throughout the state. The Wesleyan Athletic Association contributes to the education of the Wesleyanne by acting as one organ¬ ization in the triangle that promotes honesty, Christian¬ ity, and good sportsmanship among the students.

The tennis club ' s Rackett pro¬ motes specialized skill, coordination, and endurance for its members. The tennis club is chosen each fall with these objectives in mind. Through practice and patience its members strive for better form and fun on the courts. The tennis club holds a tournament for singles each fall and one for singles and doubles in the spring. The finalists and semi-finalists are awarded felt W ' s and automatically become members of the W Club. This year the tennis club has initiated sev¬ eral projects for their common goal . . . lights for the tennis courts! Good luck, tennis gals! DANCE CLUB Think of the Dance Club and you think too of tap and toe dance, lights and laughter, capers and curtain calls. Fun? Yes, but more than fun. Ask any member about the rehearsal and the headaches and the plain hard work that went into the Dance Club ' s merry spring pro¬ gram, Canieen Capers Or ask her about May Day, planning last minute practices, costume problems. She ' ll tell you there ' s a lot of behind-the-scenes action the audience never sees! The Dance Club girls are quick with a tap routine, but they don ' t overlook the importance of the down-to- earth routine of calling rehearsals and making props. Their formula for a lively, successful club is: Plan and practice, then enjoy the applause! JAN GAY President smith ' n , h Dan ‘ B ' “ ' 7 ' M ° nn ‘ B nn ' Upchurch - Reid - Cline. Bellman.

Every other Saturday morning, special group hikes of about five miles are planned by the Hiking Club president and her assistant, Mary Laslie. And although it ' s great fun acquiring those hiking miles, the girls are also rewarded for them. Each mile hiked gives a girl one athletic point and with an accumulation of one hundred miles, she receives a purple and white hiking W . This feat may easily be accomplished with a little hard work and persistence. i Left to Right: Douglas. Blanton. Trainor. Pickard. Truitt. Bennett. Cantrell. Laslie. Adams. Barfield. Myer. Owen.

CLUB When accounting for the athletic activities on Wes¬ leyan s campus we must not overlook the still new Archery Club. This club is now under a new name— TOXOPHILITE, meaning a devotee of archery. Under the able instruction of Miss Thom and with the coopera¬ tion of all club members and the Athletic Association, this club has grown in importance as a source of extra¬ curricular activities in sports both to athletes and non- athleles. The visit of the world-famous archer Howard Hill was one of the high points of the year for all of Wesleyan ' s archerettes. Wesleyan and A.A. extend a hearty Thanks to the girls who have helped put the TOXOPHILITE CLUB on the road to a long and happy success.

E Q U E S T R I A N S Horseback riding at Wesleyan was interrupted for a few years because of the war. However, in the fall of 1950, two lone enthusiasts began taking lessons at the Gardner stables. By spring, the number of horse lovers had increased to about 60, and from these were chosen 8 girls to be the members of Wesleyan ' s first Equestrian Club; they were chosen on the basis of skill and their love of the sport. Besides the regular riding lessons two or three times a week, the members participate in spe¬ cial activities such as over-night rides. The main event of the year was a horse show presented during Spring Frolics. During the year 1951-1952 the Equestrians, due to the inability to fit riding into the new schedule, have strug¬ gled hopefully along. But it has made a beginning, and big plans are in store for the future. CAROLYN KING President 125 f NORA GORDON President RIDING CLUB Fun and relaxation . . . the objectives of the Riding Club. Formed by a group of girls, the Riding Club not only plans trips on the trail ... but picnics, swimming parties and bicycle rides. Thoughts of The Arts ' ' vanish and our minds are free to relax in the outdoors. NANCY LOU MARKS President ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION We provide sports activities for all students, to encourage participation in these activities, to develop clear minds and strong bodies . . . these are the aims and purposes of the Athletic Association.

So here at Wesleyan does the water in Porter Gymnasium take on life, form and beauty when the naiads present their colorful aquacade. Although usually scheduled just before Christmas, this year ' s aquacade was held January 10, 11th, in honor of the Georgia Athletic Federation of College Women ' s an¬ nual conference. The program entitled Swing and Sway the Naiad Way followed the development of American Music starting with the Indian Ceremonial presented by eight conservatory members and followed by such dances as the Minuet, Square Dance, Tango, and Boogie-Woogie, all performed in a liquid medium. Combining precision with grace and skill the Naiads lend aquatic beauty to our well-rounded athletic pro¬ gram.
