Business Manager 1961 SPECTRUM DEDICATION Just as sunlight pricks a glass prism and gen­ erates a spectrum, so also does your spirit permeate our campus and reflect the warmth of your enthusiasm and devotion. As the spectrum is represented by its many hues, so also is your spirit reflected in its many facets . you reach beyond the fulfillment of your academic responsibilities to encourage the weak, to understand the discouraged, to counsel the strong. Because we appreciate this interest, this concern, this warmth, we dedicate the 1961 SPECTRUM to you— DR. FRANCES ROSS HICKS. THIS IS YOUR PLACE AT GSCW, AMONG THE STUDENTS. THIS IS YOUR PLACE AT GSCW, AMONG COLLEAGUES, AMONG FRIENDS. ■ DUSK, LATE AFTERNOON SHADOWS ON FRONT CAMPUS, THE STILLNESS, THE QUIET, A MEMORY HELD ONTO TENACIOUSLY.

THE DAWN, AND, JUST AS SUNLIGHT PRICKS A GLASS PRISM AND GENERATES . A SPECTRUM, SO A LS O THE SPIRIT OF A STUDENT BODY PERMEATES A CAMPUS AND PRODUCES . A COLLEGE. Science can explain a rainbow and statistics can describe a college, but neither one can interpret the unseen forces behind a school’s spirit or a rainbow’s flush. Without sunlight and a reflect­ ing cloud, a rainbow could not be; without light and a glass prism, a spectrum could not be; without spirit and a college campus, GSCW would not exist. The light of GSCW is its spirit, vital enthusiastic, energetic; the prism is the campus, solid tangible, always there; everything that makes GSCW a college, its people, their thoughts, their activities— is the SPECTRUM, colorful, vivid, harmoniously blended. The campus, the prism . The spirit of GSCW flows through these halls and reflects the life it finds there. Lanier Hall finds life in its confines, busy, getting things done; the library looks upon a quiet scene, people reading, people studying, people learning; the S. U. is the setting for people relaxing, laughing, reading letters from home; the science building observes people searching, people examining, people dissecting life; Ennis houses people re­ flecting all moods of life— joyful, in­ tense, triumphant, disconsolate, defeat­ ed, determined. SUNLIGHT, SHADOWS GIVE WARMTH TO THE S. U. PATIO. DIANA MINGLES HER SILVERY BEAMS WITH LIBRARY LIGHTS AND TOGETHER THEY COMFORT THE WEARY KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS. AT DAY, AT NIGHT, THE MOOD OF A DORMITORY IS AS VARIED AS ITS INHABITANTS. LAUREL, A RETREAT; WHERE ONE CAN BE WITH OTHERS, BE EXHILERATED, HAVE GOOD FUN; OR ONE CAN BE ALONE p f f i a c i .ki HAVE QUIET THOUGHTS. 1 r A &UIN IG, SOFT COLORS, PASTELS; PEOPLE CONVERSING, TEA TIME, IN HADOWS OF THE ACADEMIC BUILDINGS. But GSCW’s spirit overflows the boun­ daries of walls and issues out onto the campus proper; it is two people slowly shuffling through autumn leaves; it is a young couple strolling hand in hand over front campus in late afternoon; it is a group of people hiking over to Sanford, talking and singing; it is a student alone, walking up front walk, counting each gong of the courthouse clock— as it announces the supper hour. THE MANSION, HOME OF OUR PRESIDENT, BEAUTIFUL IN ITS ALL IS STILL ON THE SURFACE, BUT WITHIN THESE BUILDINGS CLASSIC DIGNITY, VALUED FOR ITS EXCITING HISTORY. THERE IS A QUIET BUT STEADY PULSE.

Jkm en. Indigo . rich but moody, active yet pas­ sive, creative, romantic though classical, sensitive. As blue mingles with violet and shades into indigo, so must a student’s life be a blend of book knowledge and experi­ ence as well as FINE ARTS. Rich resources are at her fingertips, to yield to her mood, her interests; she may create, she may choose, melody or art, Greek or English lyric. But to whatever she defers, her life, her spirit, would lack delicacy, lack finesse, lack wholeness, without the finer arts. i GSCW women have a rare privilege that many college students do not: they are included in the audience of the Community Concert series. Two or three times a quarter students, faculty and townspeople as well have the op­ portunity of attending a concert in Russell Auditorium and hearing an outstanding pianist, lecturer or bari­ tone— all through the efforts of the Milledgeville Community Concert As­ sociation. But their cultural life is not limited to whomever appears on the Russell Auditorium stage: Porter Hall has its share, too, for it is in the Porter Auditorium that music students pre­ sent their recitals and it is downstairs in the Mamie Padgett Art Gallery that students may view the works of the masters as well as those of our own art PROGRAMS ARE A MUST FOR EVERY POTENTIAL MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE, students.
