The United World Federalists
Organized on Campus
A newly organized club on the campus
this year is the United World Federalists,
which is now a study group of the Linked
World Federalists, Inc. This national
organization, championing world govern
ment with limited powers adequate to
prevent war sent representatives to our
campus to acquaint students with the
purpose of the organization and to stimu
late interest among them in setting up
a local chapter of the body. As a
result students established a campus
chapter and the following officers were
elected: Lydia Jones, Chairman; Agatha
Jones, Vice-Chairman; Mamie Thompson,
Secretary-Treasurer; and Joan Claire
Purvis, Publicity. To visit the City
Auditorium in order to hear a political
discussion, to have a discussion called
“Do you believe in these things?”, and
to have a poll on the belief of the Spel-
manites in world government are tenta
tive plans of this study group. It is
hoped that the organization will become
an officially recognized member of the
United World Federalists, Inc.
A summary of the statement of beliefs
of the Federation are:
“We believe that peace is not merely
the absence of war, but the presence of
justice, of law, of order—in short, of
government and the institutions of gov
ernment; that world peace can be cre
ated and maintained only under a world

Hi-Lights of the Junior Class
Mamie Thompson, ’49
The junior class of Spelman has ac
complished much during the college
term 1947-48. Members of the class
joined the University Players, the orches
tra, glee club, chorus, and basketball
team.
The junior class made an outstanding
record in the basketball games. In the
finals they played the senior class and
were victorious. Excellent guards in the
finals were Barbara Youngblood and
Rubye Woods, and forwards were
Frankie Durkee and Mary Lois Young.
The potential actress in our aggrega
tion for the year was Sue Perteet. In
The Bat, a mystery play, Sue was the
maid but she was one of the most inter
esting characters.
Flowers should be given to Clara
Brawner for the success of the junior
presentation of prayer meeting.
Yes, our class has talent. This is
clearly seen in Eloise Dunn, who has
been one of the soloists for the college
year. She has been active in the glee
club, orchestra, chorus, and in the quar
tet. H er melodious voice is appreciated
by her audience.
One of the most elaborate affairs pro
duced on the campus this year was the
junior’s successful presentation of an
extravaganza. Serving as competent host
esses for the occasion were Barbara
Youngblood and Jacqueline Hill. Note
worthy models were Helen Cochrane,
M uriel Corrin, and Maxine Wilson.
