In his classroom we have learned far more than mere books could give us; for he has taught us to question and to think. In our life outside of classes he has advised us about our problems, laughed with us about our mistakes, and joined into our activities with genuine interest. And above all else he has been a warm, human and understanding friend. i 7 Life at Wesleyan is a mixture of a lot of things.

SENIOR CLASS . . . at the CJL e 9 e ALICE ANN HAMILTON MARY WARREN ANN RAST JEAN NIXON As the seasons change so does our life at Wes- leyan—Fall being our Freshman year. Our Tri-k class hounded into Wesleyan in colors of red. brown and gold, full of gay spirits and laughter. We played our pranks, dried our tears, and’ tried to grow up and from the beginning laughter and music echoed our happiness into the court. As Fall grew into Winter we became the mighty Sophomores. Rat Day, with its painted faces black stockings, and nooses, became the all important thought. The sophomore Tri-k Pirates won the soccer cup, and our confidence rose. Then came stunt night, and we knew that “Everything would turn out right.” We tried to remember this as we toiled through the Winter of English Lit., math., or French, and suddenly our Winter ended as the beautiful Spring drifted in. Spring found us living with the seniors in Hanks Hall. Our class was smaller, but we had grown because we were now big sisters to the Freshmen, and we loved this responsibility. Soccer came and “Dear Ole’ Tri-k” took the cup for the second year. We traced love from “Amoeba to Man” in our stunt President Vice President Secretary Treasurer and the sounds of “Love, Love, Hurray for Love” ringing across the campus proved that we didn ' t lose our spirit even if we were upper classmen. Another swimming meet came and we proudly got our name on the cup. Truly we were Tri-k Pirates. This. our Junior year, ended on a happy note for we knew that the next season would be Summer, and we would be Seniors. Seniors, yet, but it seemed like only yesterday that we were Freshmen. Our studies took on new meaning now, and we tried to grasp as much as we could in the little time left. We held our friends close to our hearts as this last season Hew by. Home¬ coming came for the last time, and even though we won the cup, there were tears. Stunt night was over all too soon, and when the strains of “The Train is leaving” died down we found that the cup was still ours. Suddenly we knew that our Summer was end¬ ing, and a new Tri-k Class would be here at Wes¬ leyan in the Fall. Our hearts are happy as our last season ends, but with tear-stained cheeks we know that we have our most treasured possession with us— the memory of our Seasons. 37 ■ PUG Iii a room of orderly confusion sits Pug reading the latest psych book and if you don’t watch her. she’ll have you psychoanalyzed at the drop of a complex.

When in¬ formed that it is Quiet Hour and also exam week, she calmly states, “I’m tired of studying, it’s too quiet.” And so it goes all through the year. You can count on this girl from a Louisiana ranch to do the unexpected and the hilarious. You can also count on her to be more than generous with her time and efforts when stunt night rolls around. For it’s generally believed that if the class needed a texas oil well, Lou Bell would personally see to it that it was erected on the gym floor.

Her beauty speaks for itself: her grades are some¬ thing to be proud of; and her activities are many and varied. Who can forget the sheer beauty of her performance in the Aquacades or the expert guid¬ ance she gave to AA this year? A terse witty poem, an exquisite table cloth for one of her friends’ wedding pres¬ ents, participation in all sports, her por- trayal of the monkey in stunt night and of course “Biddy Head.’’ her favorite expression; All these things remind us of Helen—a perfect Miss Wesleyan.

SENIOR n v Crinkling eyes that disappear when she laughs, short blonde hair that turns up when it rains and a quiet yet spark¬ ling wit that bubbles forth at the slight¬ est provocation. Buzz is as much at home in a serious discussion on T.S. Eliot as she is doing a slap stick take¬ off on Modern Art. And you can always count on her to he the calm stabilizing factor when the discussions get too heated. How she has done all she has and still made all A’s is a wonder, hut we won’t ask questions. We’ll just re¬ peat the time worn phrase, “If you want a job done well, do it yourself— or get Buzz to do it!” CLASS CAROL The sound of a typewriter with its methodical click, click, click is heard and if you open the door you’ll find Carol busily typing a radio script or a short story. When she’s through, all the pages will he uniformly stacked in an orderly pile and she’ll turn to another assignment without missing a heat of the typewriter. Neatness is her trade mark, yet she’s one of those rare people who can roll their hair up. read a book, and listen to the radio at the same time. If she’s upset, her eyes can flash fire but most of the time they are calm and undisturbed. MARY JOE CAWLEY {[hiitman. (pH.

Perhaps it’s because she is constantly trying out her psych experi¬ ments on us and as a result, knows all about us. When she’s not playing one of her many albums of records, you’ll find her either at the pool or, if it’s raining, taking long walks.

She’s perpetual motion in action as she scurries from fencing to Knglish Class and hack again. Her natural flair for mimicking made her a per¬ fect rabbit in last year’s stunt and a lively, jaunty skunk in the senior production. On the serious side, she’s a conscientious worker in every¬ thing she does, be it chapel choir or history class, homecoming decora¬ tions or stunt night. After her por¬ trayal of a certain professor during Undent Day she immediately became a recognized Tri K whose motto is to work ban! and to play even harder.

J U IV I 0 fl CLASS • • • The old adage “familiarity breeds contempt ' ’ somehow doesn’t apply in the instance of Wesleyan and the ' 53 Juniors—for with every activity in our separate fields of music, art, and speech, and in the diverse activities of our social life we have become more in tune with each other and with our life on “the Hill . Even as freshmen our class displayed an astounding ability to work together, an ability which increased as we learned the special aptitudes and talents of each member. While we learned our aptitudes, Cupid learned our hearts; and each year he took part of his quota from our class. Our short years here are passing so quickly that it seems impossible that we are Juniors now—with little sisters rather than big ones, with one year before us rather than several. Like countless other Wesleyannes, we look ahead with eagerness and anticipation and backward with fond memories and deep gratitude. the Coniervator, V U 59 JUNIOR CLASS Eleanor Allen A she boro, N.

And though the first two years of their existence as a class hold many pleasant memories also, this year, their junior year, will always occupy perhaps the biggest corner in the hearts of the Purple Knights. First of all, the role of a Junior is a distinctly different one. And the knights began to realize this at the very beginning when they moved into Banks in September. 1952. Now they were living with the seniors; now they had little sisters instead of hig ones; now was the time for a little growing up. And they did grow up. They learned to accept and honor their added responsibilities. They soon forgot how small they were in number by learning to combine their individual cfTorts into a single unit. They even learned to accept an occasional defeat with a grin on their faces, because they knew they had tried; and in learning this, they learned, too, the stuff that real class spirit is made of. Finally, toward the last of the year, the juniors discovered a new thrill—the thrill of getting their class rings. This in itself made the junior year a great one. For this was a promise—a promise that an even better year is yet to come. 63 JUNIOR CLASS Aiken, Anil Bale , Belly Hrewton, INalalie Cason, June ClemenU, Joan Atlanta, Ga. IT inter Park. Fla. McRae.

Now the thought of being juniors so soon trails up a sudden start, and we almost say, “But we’re still freshmen.” Yet two years are almost gone. Two years in which we have begun to work toward goals which once glittered distantly in a dark sky. t pon our closer inspection we have found that a rainbow bridge guides the way to our goals. We understand now that we cannot attain perfection in four years, but we can learn how to strive for our best. We have learned to accept defeat, and to make it work for us. Just as we have enjoyed our successes, we have found that they come with application, and that our stunt night triumphs were achieved through cooperation and vitality. We now stand at the crest of the rainbow of our college careers, our goals and a wav of attaining them in clear view. We link arms and hearts as we continue to journey along this crescent. 69 SOPHOMORE CLASS (iayli Alta kuv Dublin, Ca. I ' arolc HroadHt ' ll Atlanta, Go AdrirniU ' Harnr Coral Gables, Fla.

At first we didn’t know ' , nor did we care. Each of us went her own way, unaware of much going on about her. We were more or less asleep, dead to our potentialities as a class. This state was wrong. We had to wake up! Scaring the freshmen in the black of night with our tom-tom was thrilling, yet the first actual pene¬ tration into our blanket of sleep came at Homecom¬ ing. We stirred in our slumber when we realized we had to work together as a crew’, not each girl for herself, in order to plow through the “rough waters.” When we told our big sisters to “Hitch Your Wagon to a Star ’ we could see somewhat better, but the haze was still thick. Our big sisters were very close to us and helped awaken us as best they could by showing us what Wesleyannes should be. Practice! Practice! That was the key word until March 14. “Is the cake tall enough?” . . . “What about the halos? . . . “E-nun-ci-ate!” These words were heard and uttered by us until we were blue in the face before Stunt Night. Then, all of a sud¬ den. the curtain had dropped, and the words of the fiinale were still ringing in our ears: “All God’s Chillun Got Shoes.” No, we won no cup for our stunt. Hut we won something far more valuable—the final awakening from our deep sleep. Our eyes opened wide, and we saw that each of us had been working, not for her good alone, but for the good of every Golden Heart. Now that we know each other, we know why we came back to Wesleyan. The Wesleyan spirit had been there all the time. We knew it, but we didn ' t feel it until then. Being devoted to our class makes us devoted to that great institution of which it is a part. We’ll come back to Wesleyan next year, and the next, and all the other years to come—if only in fond memory. 73 SOPHOMORE CLASS Adams, Patricia Dade City, Fla. Barfield. Palsy Dade City, Fla.

They were very uncertain as to what the outcome would be, and they knew ' that many obstacles would meet them as they traveled. Beside them rode the Purple Knights, who with their encouragement and understanding helped them over many hurdles. The first danger the Knights encountered was the threat of the mighty Golden Hearts, but after the battle was over, the victors and vanquished shook hands, and peace was restored. In such important laps of the journey as the Home¬ coming jousts and Stunt Night, the Green Knights further prove d their fighting spirit. The journey was not all work, though, and the Green Knights took time out for parties, dates, and dances along the way. As they neared the end of the trip, they realized that they had gained strength and confidence through the many new experiences and adventures they had had. They now felt sure that they could undertake successfully the next three laps of the journey, and reach their final goal: the strengthening and fortifying of Wesleyan Castle. 83 FRESHMAN CLASS Adam , Shirley Atlanta.

At Wesleyan the College Government Association has as its chief function the guidance of the Wesleyan Family toward respect and upholding of our ideals. In order to deal with all our various needs C.G.A. is made up of an Executive Board, a House Presi¬ dents Organization, Judicial Board, and a Senate. Because our government is based on an Honor System our laws are not hindrances, but means by which we can develop the freedom which comes to those who respect laws and penalties and yet go beyond them to base their actions on love and respect for self and others. 94 SENA T E Front: E.

Its influence was felt daily through Morning Watch, Vespers, Taps, and Chapel. Entertainment and the joy of serving others were ours through the pajama parties. Peanut Week, and the Servants’ Party. We all reaped great benefits from our Thanksgiv¬ ing Service presented hy Davidson College. Students and faculty had fun in naming the cutest baby from the photographic en¬ tries of our male faculty members. At a penny per vote we raised money for our sister school in Hiroshima. The highlights of the year were the two Religious Emphasis Weeks, one held each semester. The selling of “Power,” the daily devotional magazine, insured us that each dormi¬ tory room in school had literature for spiritual thought. We recall with pleasure the joint meetings with the Rivoli ' l AV.C.A. The fellowship was fine, and we learned muc h through our association with them. Thus, the purpose of our C. A. program is to maintain the high ideals upon which Wesleyan was founded. 97 NELL ANN SUMMERS President JANE CARY CHAPMAN Acting President, Second Semester Y. W. C. A. Since its founding in 1897 the Y.W.C.A. at Wesleyan has at¬ tempted to be the creative influence in the spiritual life of the student body. Its program is extensive; being organized under five commissions, it provides a field of interest for every student. For the spiritual development of the students “Y” sponsors daily Morning Watch and Taps programs and weekly Vesper sen- ices. Throughout the year there are Bible study groups, deputations from neighboring schools, and special services for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The Annual Christmas banquet is a high point in the year. Twice a year, in the fall and spring, there come to our campus outstanding speakers to lead us in a week of religious emphasis. The commissions sponsor many projects during the year so that everyone has an opportunity to participate in “Y’s” program. The largest project this year was the raising of almost a thousand dollars in the Friendship Drive for our “sister school” in Hiroshima, Japan. Other projects include taking stories, songs, and toys to the orphans ' homes in town, giving the servants a Christmas party, and sponsoring a displaced student each year. Part of “Y’s” program is just plain fun. Its most spectacular occasion is Stunt Night. It also sponsors a gay Peanut Week and is in charge, with A.A., of the informal dances during the two big party weekends at Wesleyan. In every phase of its work the Y.W.C.A. attempts to maintain the high ideals which its name implies. OFFICERS Barbara Burnell.

Social StandarJJ carried on a full program. The new Green Knights met tl3 Mercer men at an informal western party in September. Mr I journeyed down from Emory-at-Oxford for an all-day patfl especially to get acquainted with the freshmen and sophS mores in October. Home coming in November was climaxed with the fir | big formal dance of the year. Girls who had been placing soccer and cheering the favorite team on to victory in the 1 morning were transformed into floating clouds of mt taffeta, and satin as they danced away the evening at the ! “Early Autumn” formal. Charm Week pulled us out of the post-exam slump with j many pointers on the meaning of charm and hints on how to attain it. The Macon department stores cooperated with the Social Standards Hoard in presenting a preview ol Spring fashions. For Winter Formal this year the College and Conserva¬ tory combined their talents to put on a Mardi Gras Hall where the Miss Charming candidates were presented. The Social Standards calendar ended with Spring Frolics weekend in May. The May Queen and her court were pre- ■ sen ted while the Dance Club cavorted for the entertainment of all. That night, girls in filmy evening dresses dancel with the favorite beau at the Spring Formal, and as th- last tune was played, Social Standards wrote finale on a full and busy year.

Poems, short stories, humorous writings and satires written by the students and fac ulty are being arranged and glued into place in our literary magazine. The Wesleyan is published four times a year with the last issue written entirely by the Scribes, an honorary writ¬ ing organization. The Scribes are chosen from the sopho¬ more, junior, and senior classes on the basis of their writing ability and their contributions to the Wesleyan and other publications on campus. SCRIBES D.

THE ART CLUB Strange amoebic forms, held in space by wire which has been bent, carved wh ich at times is self-supporting, and which at other times just dynamically into space. These shapes are moved by the natural currents of atmosphere- am we are told they are called mobiles. This is only one aspect of the art of our times Wesleyan Conservatory ha- helped its student body to become acquainted with. We were helped to under stand this new type of sculpture by the movie, “The Works of Calder”. We enjoyed a series of lectures and discussions this year. Mr. Bosch spok to us about “Art and Religion”. He used Matisse as an example of an artis who has achieved the ability to join these two. With Mr. Holzhauer, vu discussed why artists paint the way they do today. Mr. Samsen opened to us , new and interesting topic, “Art in the Theater”. And the gallery ... it has been filled many times this year with fine exhibi Rons. From the Modern Museum of Art in New York, we received “Twentieth Century Still Life”, from Atlanta. “The Young Georgia Artists’ Exhibition and from our own classrooms. “The School of Fine Arts Student Exhibition” Never to be forgotten arc the sketching trips to Baconsfield Park, the zoo. am! various other places in Macon. In March we were happy to be a part of, “Musical Themes”, a show sent tc us from the Modern Museum of Art for the Festival of Modern Art. The Art Club has attempted to help unify the departments of the school ami to give the students a broader knowledge of various other fields offered at the Conservatory and College in relation to art.

MARTHA WHITE President — What would a year at Wesleyan In without sports and the spirit they generate- Lifeless! That is why the Athletic Association is a continually functioning organization, acting as producer and director of the play at Wesleyan. From fall through spring, there are activities to fit into every schedule, and calling for every type of capability. Tournaments in soccer, basketball, swimming, softball, and volleyball offer team play. For the individual, there are tennis, fencing, golf. dancing, archery, hiking, horseback riding, and table tennis. I he Athletic Association, with the F reshman Splinters, “Chips off the A.A. Board,” organize this program with spirit and good sportsmanship as the keynote. Theirs is the pleasure of showing what a definite part of education sports are. Theirs, too, is the opportunity of offering to all a part in the annual production, the Wesleyan play. 124 S P L I N T E R s Right—Fir t Row: M. Rumble, M. Marlin. G. Hollingsworth, II. Carn.-r. M.

Its activities started with the “Blue Jean” party welcoming the freshmen in September; then came the volleyball tournament—the seniors winning the cup. We cannot forget the annual A.A. Barn Dance with the usual doughnuts and cider in the “hayloft”. New on our calendar came the badminton tourna¬ ment—the cup going to the Sophomores. Our last formal competition was the tennis tournament, but all during the year many of us spent Satur¬ day and Sunday afternoons riding horseback—and still others could be found enjoying the exercise of swimming. Our athletic year was climaxed with the annual banquet in May, with the awarding of letters to outstand¬ ing participants in all sports. hirstRow: Mary Gaissert, Secretary; Olive I.ong, President; llelly Moss, Treasurer .

In the Fall, the Dance Cluh put on a minstrel complete with black faces and end men. and it was quite evident that the girls knew ' exactly the right measurement of each ingredient for producing top-notch entertainment. Again in the spring, the members were kept busy planning the theme and dance routines for the May Day spectacle. The girls realize the hard work involved in producing a good show, and they have shown over and again that they are more than capable of taking care of every detail.

NAIADS One of the events most looked forward to each year is the beautiful and graceful aquacade put on by Wesleyan’s Naiads. This year’s aquacade. Shades of Fantacy. told the story of the creation of the world by means of Color and expressive swimming. The seven days of Creation were treated with shades of purple, blue, red. green, yellow, orange, and finally a rainbow of color. This group of girls represents the most graceful swimmers from each of the four classes. Combining grace with skill, and hard work, the Naiads lend aquatic beauty to our well- rounded athletic program. 132 tdxdpholite Robin hood was no more a Toxopholite—devotee of Archery—than are these sharp-shooting Wesleyans. Anyone interested in archery, or in learning, is invited to become a member of the Toxopholite Club. Under the able instruction of Miss Thom, and through the diligent practice of the mem¬ bers. the girls improve on their form and accuracy until nothing less than a hull’s eye will do. In the spring and fall they sponsor a tournament which is open to everyone. JOYCE REDDICK Pretident Firm Row: M. A. Martin, J. Little, S. McCanl . M. Kennedy. M. Morris S. Lane. Hack Row: J. Keddiek.
