We wonder how many times we have asked ourselves what benefits these four years have brought to those of us who should have fully appreciated and participated in the activities of the school community of which we have been a part. Have we learned or gained anything during our stay here? Has college been a period of growth for us? Have we taken advantage of the opportunities of fered. or have we simply been satisfied with mere academic interests, refusing to participate in anything else? That senior who is reported to have said when she had completed her re quirements, “Now that I have my quali ty and quantity points, I have everything that I need.” certainly had no idea of how wrong she was. We are sure that after giving the idea further thought she probably wondered to herself. “I have completed my requirements, but did I take time to exercise my abilities with other interests?” She is probably puz zled over all the resolutions she made her first year as an enthusiastic fresh man and perhaps regrets her failure to fulfill them. To those of us who feel that we have not taken sufficient advantage of our college years, there is no better time than now to profit by previous mistakes and turn over a new leaf, determined to reach out, in the future, for all that is offered us for inward growth. This will be necessary in order to meet the chal lenge of a successful life. At this time, as at no other in history, women have an opportunity to participate to a fuller de gree in national affairs, and to create a new kind of life for themselves and for others. Already women dominate the teaching profession. Women are active members of communities and the very center of the home; therefore, colleagues, it is our duty as college graduates hence forth to utilize every means for fitting ourselves for accepting the role as future leaders in our society. TO OUR READERS The staff and contributing stu dent body wish to express whole hearted gratefulness for having- been able to give to our readers in formation concerning the various activities of the students at Spel- man College. As the retiring staff, we wish that the incoming staff may find the cooperation of the readers and contributors as helpful and en couraging as we found it. We also wish for you a very successful year To The Student Body! Dear Spelmanites, We have come to the year that our hearts so desired when we entered as Freshmen. However, after the four years spent here where we have had many ex periences and advantages and have formed new acquaintances that have be come a part of us, it saddens us when we think of departing In September, 1942, we entered as Freshmen usually do—some green and some acting as if they owned the campus. Through the years, we received quite a reputation which wasn’t too favorable at all times. I believe our Junior year was the one of “awakening.” We can never forget how the Juniors led in the Foun ders Day rally of 1945; yes, even over the Seniors. Of course, as Seniors, we should take the lead in everything. Today, we have become fully aware of the situation that we are to face. No longer can we build our future on illu sions. Common sense has made us aware of the fact that the years ahead must have some ruggedness. However, de termination places us in the position bet ter to cope with it in the hope that smoothness is to follow. To the coming generations of Spel manites, we leave the treasure that we have enjoyed for four lovely years, and we hope that you will keep in mind with us our class emblem for guidance. The emblem of the Senior Class, the Eagle, is one which inspires to a superi or wingspread of knowledge which will enable one to fly high to mountain heights of noble attainment. Sincerely yours, Johnnie Hogg. President of the Student Body of Spelman College
