The Class of ’47
Geraldine Phillips, ’47
The class of 1943, upon its graduation,
passed on to the class of 1947 the emblem
of the Sphinx which is a symbol of strength
and intelligence.
The officers of the freshman class are:
Hazel M. Tackett, temporary chairman;
Monique Taylor, temporary secretary.
With the emblem of the Sphinx as a foun
dation we shall aspire to build for fruitful
years here at Spelman from which we shall
reap greater things in later years.

absence of the preceding Senior Class. It is
interesting and profitable that we follow

The Athletic Council
Ella Lett, ’46
There are many students on our campus
who hardly know that the athletic depart
ment has an organization of its own. For
this reason the Athletic Council has decided
on this as an ultimate goal for the school
year, 194344: “to make itself felt on the
campus.” It hopes, as the year goes by, to
attain this through special activities of the
club, various sports and games, and its sin
cere participation in any other endeavors of
the student body.
Already the Council has made specific
plans for carrying out its objectives: first,
by initiating a “drive” to increase the mem
bership; second, to select activities that will
include a large number of students, such as
inter-class soccer games, basketball games
and a tennis tournament. In order to coop
erate with the entire college community in
an effort to keep the campus beautiful, the
Athletic Council will enforce its slogan:
“Give the grass a chance.”
Officers for 1943-44 are:
President Mary Martin
Secretary Ella Lett
Treasurer Ella Tyree
Business Manager Catherine Acklin
employed at the Atlanta Life Insurance
Company, Atlanta, Ga.
Beatrice Goldsby, Lizzie Jones, Carleatha
Modest, Sadye Conley, and Dorothy Wil
liams are now married, and have set up
housekeeping.
Annabelle McGregor, Dayton, Ohio, post
office.
The whereabouts of the other members of
the class of ’43 is not known as yet.
