YMCA's Message
To Freshmen and
New Students
A certain freshman left home for
college and she fell among critics
who said that she had no style, that
her manners were awkward and that
she had an unattractive personality.
Then they stripped her of her self-,
confidence, her enthusiasm and her,
courage, and departed, leaving her
hurt and lonely and half dead.
When the Seniors saw it, they were
amused, saying casually, "What a
good job the Sophomores are doing
on that Freshman," and they passed i
by on the other side.
In a like manner the Juniors also]
when they saw it smiled and said,,
"Yea, Verily, for she hath not the i
making of a good sorority girl," and
they passed by on the other side.
But a certain special student as j
she went about, came where she was |
and, when she saw her, she was moved with compassion and came to her
and bound ud her wounds, pouring in
sympathy and understanding and she
took her to her room and set her on
her feet again and brought her unto
her own circle and was a friend of
her's.
Dr. Charles Gilkey truly tells of
the Y.W.C.A.'s inteiest in our freshmen and new students. We welcome
them to A. and T. and hope that they
wil! make the "Y.W." one of their
extracurricular activities. Officers
and advisors for the "Y.W." for the
year 1951-52 are: Advisors—Miss
Mary Dozier, Miss Sara Hannar, Mrs.
L. Marrow and Miss E. McCarty.

Miss A. and T.
Welcomes the
Freshman Class
Yvonne Wooten, the charming Miss
A. and T. for the school year, 1951-
52, delivered the traditional first
lady's address to the Freshman class
during Orientation week, September
12-17.
Miss A. and T., speaking to an
estimated 800 freshmen and new students, said, "It is our hope that you
will soon find your places within our
fold, and that you will share with us
the warm friendship of love which
binds us together as a unit."
Continuing, the queen of the homecoming festivities stated, "We realize
that the task of adjusting yourselves
will be somewhat difficult. There
shall be many obstacles, but there are
many goals to reach. Strive always
to succeed in your prospective fields."
In conclusion, Miss Wooten quoted
a very didactic poem of patience to
the overwhelmed-with-joy freshmen
which read as follows:
"When things go wrong, as they
simetimes will,
When the road you're trudging is
all  up hill
When the funds are low and the
debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you
have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down
a bit,
Rest—If  you    must—But    don't
you quit.
Success  is   failure  turned   inside
out—
The silver tint of the clouds of
of doubt—
