CAMPUS MIRROR
To the Memory of
Marjorie Hawkins
(Member of the class of 1945, who
departed this life October, 1944)
Rest, still form,
And be not weary
Of rest.
Thou bast found
What others seek—
Repose,
Serene and calm.
Blithe spirit.
Sleep the sleep
Of peace.
And wake no more
To pain or sorrow—
Cares,
Dull and wan.
—Mary English.

days ago, and it was good to see her.
She is director of social recreation in
the state of Arkansas. Eunice Jackson
has finally ended in Hollywood as make
up artist. She always knew the right
beauty technique. Agnes Oliver has an
exclusive dress shop and does her own
designing.
If you want some good food, come to
Georgia, and go to one of Jessie Bivin’s
cafeterias. She has a chain of ten
throughout the state. Irene Yopp is now
married, but also teaches Home Econom
ics.
Eleanor Bryson and Ernestine Brooks
are business partners in a growing de
partment store. Both of them have had
their dreams realized. Kornyce Campbell
is married and has four of the sweetest
children. When I think of fame on
Broadway, I think of Arizona Brown.
She is a great success. Louise Eagleson
has her Ph.D., and also two other chil
dren, one of which is a son. Bessie Hines
has a son continuing her love for chil
dren. This can be seen by her work at
the Spelman Nursery School.
Opal Williams has become a famous
Hollywood star. She always had a lot of
talent, and a lot of wit to offer; the
same for Edith Johnson, who is putting
her excessive amount of it to use in her
articles, found in the New York Sinister
newspaper. They are really quite amus
ing.
Great things have come out of our
class, and history it has made. It is my
w T ish that the class of 1945 will rise to
the top in its achievements.
Write to me often, and let me know
the news.
Sincerely,
Annie.

other plays under the direction of Mr.
Baldwin W. Burroughs. The reading
room was transferred from Laura Spel
man to the more spacious accommoda
tions at Giles Hall. For our conveni
ence a snack shop was opened. Giles'
lunch room was opened so that day stu
dents might purchase lunches. Another
attraction that year was the appearance
of soldiers on the campus from the Army
Administration School at Atlanta Uni
versity, for classes at Laura Spelman.
More serious in nature, due to the
acquisition of a wealth of information
gained as sophomores, we went into the
Junior year. The distance to our goal
was gradually becoming shorter and
shorter. As Juniors our class repre
sented less than half the number of
green freshmen who had come in 1941.
We were lessened in force, though not in
strength. We stood together as a united
group, realizing that by concentrating
our forces we could become students
whose influence might be felt in all
spheres. The year 1943-1944 brought
a large number of additions to the fac
ulty to fill vacancies. The new members
included Dr. Norman F. Coleman, Miss
Portia Jenkins, Mrs. Sara Owsley Stivers,
Mrs. Marjorie Wheeler Brown. Miss
Marguerite Simon, Miss Lucille Baker,
and Dr. Warren E. Henry. That year
the University Players scored a hit with
their production of “Cry Havoc.” An
amateur hour, a novel affair, was pre
sented by the junior class. Dr. Charles
Du Bois Hurrey, famous as a world
lecturer, spoke at a University Convo
cation on “Looking Ahead in Latin
America.”
Year by year the time had passed with
events worth noting too numerous to
state until at last we reached the final,
long anticipated hour. We were seniors
and only three short years ago we had
only dreamed of reaching that status.
Even more unity was possible, for all
seniors were living on the campus. The
little corps of sixty-two seniors walking
the short distance remaining to a Bache
lor’s degree determined that we would
not be divided in ideals.
As is customary, the senior calendar
has been full from September to June.
A bond drive on the campus, which was
a part of Sixth War Loan Drive, cul
minated in the presentation of a skit
and the singing of war songs written
by each class which were auctioned for
war bonds. We were proud that our
song had the highest bid. This was only
one of the activities that took place at
Spelman College in an attempt to fur
ther the war effort. The University Play
ers presented “Pride and Prejudice,” a
magnificent costume play. Marjorie Mof
fett, the one woman theater and cele
brated disseuse, gave a brilliant per
formance.
The events which were exclusively for
seniors proved to be especially attrac
tive to us. We recall with great pleas
ure the Senior Dance held for the first
time in Morehouse North and More
house South and the Junior-Senior Prom.
We were delighted with a unique break
fast given for us by Mrs. Ellen S. Hamil
ton and Mrs. Elizabeth S. Cope, the
housemothers of the two senior dormi
tories. With high anticipation the Senion
Class looks forward to events which are
yet to come to pass.
The nearer we draw to our final goal
here at Spelman College, the more we
begin to reconstruct past happenings in
to a complete pattern. We see that each
little part has had a definite place in
the final mold. The time spent on our
beautiful campus with our classmates,
teachers and friends has left its lasting
impressions, and as the years march on
w r e shall recall with pride and a deep
sense of responsibility the joy of becom
ing and remaining true Spelman women.
Class Will
(Continued from Page 15)
Irene Yopp bequeaths to Virginia
Buck her ability to form her own opin
ions rather than always seeking the ad
vice of others.
In conclusion, the Senior Class be
queaths to the Junior Class their interest
in the welfare of Spelman College.
