Everybody has been

point of sailing for the foreign field.

Mr. Graham is at Columbia getting
this doctor’s degree. Miss Baucher
is teaching at Smith, her alma mater,

and Miss Phillips is studying voice

in New York. Miss Lupo is leaving
soon for Chicago to inspect the ya-
rious parts of the work more closely.

We will all miss them terribly, but
jnterviews with new members of the
faculty prove that the coming season
will be interesting and—oh well, we'll
have to study.

Miss Emily E. Hougen comes to
us from Bryn Mawr to assume the
chair of Physics recently vacated by
Mr. Graham. We are all wondering

we know she’s not only efficient, but

taught at Rockford, the University

and thinks teachers can learn a lot
from pupils. Let’s remember it.

Miss Julia Rathermel is from Mount

Lupo. She likes Miss MacDougal and
Agnes Scott, so she must have very
good taste. The Department of Bi-

Miss Phythian is succeeded by
Miss Agatha Brown of Vanderbilt.
Miss Brown is very modest about pro-
claiming her degrees but you can
spy a @. S. K- pin if you look hard.

Emory is generous as usual, and
we have Professors Hampf and Hes-

classes and Mr, Hessick is head of
the Math Department.

Things look mighty bright as far
as faculty is concerned, and we are
all looking forward to a fine year.
Let’s help them!

Miss Young had been at Agnes
Scott since her girlhood, coming here
as a student and then as a teacher.
For twenty-two years she had been
a member of the faculty, so that

had the privilege of knowing her, and
of coming in touch with her radiant
personality. We know that we, the

ones who are grieving in our loss,
and who feel that we have had taken
from us the embodiment of the ideals
which we are all striving to attain.

The memory of a beautiful life is

The death on September 6 of Mr.
Scott, one of Agnes Scott’s most

to make the Freshmen feel how glad

in every old girl’s heart there is a

welcome for every Freshman, and we)

hope that they will like us as well as
we like them,

Sophs are not glad to have them

we do, that when they come back

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

To each new girl The Agonistic wishes to extend a most hearty wel-

come, and to those to whom these stately walls are already familiar.

We are now beginning what we hope may prove to be a most pleasant
and profitable year. Never have the auspices been more favorable. The
student body is the largest that has ever been enrolled at Agnes Scott,
and their enthusiasm to accomplish real things is at high tide. This is
going to be a red letter year in the history of our college.

Freshmen, we congratulate you on being members of the promising
24. We

class of We congratulate you on your choice of alma mater.

congratulate you on your own enthusiastic spirit. But above all, we wel-
come each of you into our student body, and into the interests and organ-
izations that belong to a daughter of Agnes Scott College.

AGNES SCOTT, THE AGONISTIC AND YOU.

Now, at the beginning of school, is the time for the staff of The Agonis-
tic to let you know what it intends to do this year, We want to get out
the best paper that Agnes Scott has ever published, and we want to get
it out regularly. To show our good intentions, we came early, so every
student could have a welcome edition of The Agonistic, during her first
week of the new session.

Not only do we want to publish a paper that reflects credit upon our
college, and that gives real enjoyment to the reader, but we want it to be
the property of the student. All our efforts would be in vain if the girls
shouldn’t feel that The Agonistic belongs to them, and not to the few repre-
sentatives whom they select to do the work connected with it.

This is the kind of a paper the staff wants to give to you. Now, whit
is your duty to your paper? In the first place, we want your loyal sup-

port. Don't knock The Agonistic—boost it! Then, won't you take a per-

sonal interest in it? If you could only know how much enthusiasm your
interest gives to those whose special job The Agonistic is, you would not
be so sparing with it. And last, but not least, of those who have it to
spare, we would beg some of your time. There are many girls at Agnes
Scott that could add a great deal to the attractiveness of the paper, if they
would only devote the time. We wish that you would not hide your light
under a bushel, but would let be of advantage to the whole college com-
munity.

It is not money that we are begging—it is part of yourselves. We
want you to help The Agonistic to do its best for you,

WELCOME FROM THE Y. W.

C. A.
Who met you, Miss New Girl? It

was your godmother, the Y. W. C. A.
Through the social committee she
wrote to you in the summer; showed
you to your room when you arrived;
looked up your grandmother for you;
and has been entertaining you ever
since.

She arranged the al fresco tea
Thursday afternoon, the dance in the
gym the first night you were here, the
floor parties where you met your

neighbors; and she provided for you
the big reception Saturday night
when you wore your evening dress

and shook hands with the members
of the faculty and the officials of Stu-
dent Government,

For the first week or two the Y. W.
expects to ke called on to help girls
get started right in their college
year. But after that she expects
them to help her. The social service
|department organizes groups of girls
/to go to the Sheltering Arms, the De-
catur Orphans’ Home, the Wesley
House, and the Crippled Children's
Home to play with the little inmates
and tell them stories.

Svening Watch committee appoints
leaders for evening watch, which is
held in each building at quarter past
nine on Friday night.

ALUMNAE

THE AGONISTIC,

Keep Abreast of the Times.

“Aggie” is a very popular girl. In
fact she is the envy of all the other
students of Agnes Scott. A long
time ago, when she was first known
by the girls of A. S. C., just lots of
|'them liked her so much that they

wrote her, and asked her to write to

them every week or so. Of course, as

“Aggie” was crazy about all of her
|new friends, she did as requested.
Finally she became so popular with
the A. § C. girls that the whole stu-
dent body was hearing from her ey
lery week.
| Now it was many years ago when
all this took place. We do not mean
to say that “Aggie” has not had new
friends among the girls as the col-
lege years rolled by. She has been
| more busy than ever before trying to
keep up her correspondence,

But “Aggie” is grieved and trou-
bled! People worried about her and
tried their best to solve the trouble.
It has at last come to light. “Aggie”
‘herself told it. She said that she
had always heard that oldest friends
were the best, but she did not know
whether to believe it or not. Every
one was sorry to hear that lots of
“Aggie’s” old friends, who are now
alumnae, have stopped asking her to
write them. Poor “Aggie”
tically in tears to think that the
her.

Wake up, Alumnae, and show The
Agonistic that you have anything but
forgotten her! Write her and ask
her to send you a souvenir of herself
every week. Show her that old
|friends are the best after all. Try

love “Aggie” just as you did when
you were near her.

Zorka Petrovitch, the Serbian refu-

dents at Agnes Scott this year, has

from time to time in the Atlanta pa-
|pers about our fellow Student-to-be
were expecting to find her here on
jour own arrival.

Zorka is not here yet, but a tele-
gram from Mr. Morton, who is to
meet her in New York, gives us to
believe she will be here soon.

HOW BLUE RIDGE HAS
HELPED OUR Y.
W.C.A.

About fifteen or twenty Agnes
Scott girls attended the conferences
at Blue Ridge this year. From the
splendid lectures they heard on the
college Y. W. C. A., they have worked
out some new ideas and plans for our
own. These we will hear about as
they are brought into use,

But if you want to really get the
spirit of Blue Ridge, go to one of the

girls who was there and let her talk.

to you about the heart to heart dis-
cussions all the girls have around the
big fireplace while they toast cheese
or marshmallows, after the delegation
meeting and prayers. That is the
Way to catch the real spirit of Blue
Ridge; and the spirit of Blue Ridge is
the spirit of the Y. W.

a few days late, for we are all anxious
to meet and talk to a girl who has
seen and experienced so much.

HIS FERVOR DAMPENED,

Down in Southern Oklahoma, after

;custom of the colored population to
/hold big camp meetings. At one of
| these the minister was talking of the
jgreat joys of heaven. One of the

At this one of the sisters sprang up
and said: “Why, Bruddah Mose,

THE LAST RESORT.

In a certain Yorkshire town a land-
lord does not receive a very hearty
welcome on Monday mornings, and a
|tenant in one of the houses there re-
jeently handed the landlord half-a-
| crown towards the rent.

“Is this all you’ve got for me, and
you so much in arrears?” scowled the
landlord,

“Go*on now and be satisfied,” re-
plied the tenant. “You wouldn’t have
|had that, only my old man has been
and sold the back door.”—Blighty.

Dear Family ‘n Everything,

I am here and arrived safely as

there was no accident of any kind
and no one kidnapped me like you
were afraid would happen. Oh dear,
I just read over that sentence and it
didn’t have a bit of sense but Dear
Ones, my two .roommates are both
talking at once, two Sophomores next
door are raising enough “cane” to
supply all Georgia with sugar and I

just can’t concentrate. (I hate to,
anyway).

Two perfectly adorable Seniors
met us at the station, at least they
said they were Seniors, but I have
strong suspicions that they both
were Sophs. One was as full of fun

as anyone could be and she teased

Susie Reid (that’s her name) and

Agnes Scott that was waiting for us
to explore, It’s a wonderful place,
people, big “aristocratic” buildings
and loads of trees and oh, lots of
grass and girls in gingham dresses
and middy suits all over the big
white stone steps of Main Building.
I was afraid they were going to sit
there and stare a hole through me
but instead they all rushed forward
at once and grabbed our suit cases,
to say nothing of us, and showed us
in to a big hall.

STUDENTS! VISIT THE
‘“SILHOUETTE.”’

Eat, and Ward Off the Blues.

People say that a good digestion is
a sure way to keep off home sickness!
You know though, you cannot have a
good digestion if you don’t eat. A
good policy is never to stay hungry
between meal. Where will you get
something to eat? The “Silhouette,”
of course!

In the basement
building is the most attractive room!

of the Science

As soon as you enter you will see
why it is named “Silhouette.” It is
such a cozy place to take your

friends, and best of all, it keeps off
“blues.” The old girls will see that
a great change has taken place. It is
well worth a visit down; and when
you once get there, where the tempt-
ing odors come floating out, you will
certainly want to buy everything.
The “Silhouette” is a tearoom to be
proud of because it is one of the
prettiest of its kind.

The regular hours of the tea-room
are from eight to two and from four
to seven-thirty. Sandwiches, ice
cream, cakes, candy, and cold drinks
will be sold all the first week. After
that the cooks will get busy and any-
thing in the line of “eats” may be

had.
mverybody, come and try it once—
after that you will never have to be

urged,

Poet—“Outrageous! You offer me
only two dollars for this poem and I
spent all day on it. Why, a gas fitter
gets $1.25 an hour.”

Editor—‘Well, if you were as partic-
ular about your meter as a gas fitter is
about his, so would you.”

“little” girl who seemed to be “big”

boss (she’s Ruth Scandrett, head of
social committee) greeted us and we
met Miss Hopkins, who is a dear.
She told us where our rooms were
(you see I had met several other
freshmen on the train and we came
out together); then a Sophomore
(she told us so) named Lib and an
athletic looking peach of a girl Fanny
“something or other” took us all to
our rooms. Well, sir, family, that
room looked pretty bare with only
walls and floor and ceiling and fur-
niture, but there was a dear little
card with a warm welcome from the
Y. M. on my bureau.

Honestly the older girls are just
lovely. They helped me register, see
the committee on admission (which
seems to be having an everlasting
meeting with my name at the end of
the list, until suddenly they adjourn
and later on we start all over again).
It’s some job. I finally saw them and
what do you suppose? Yes, I have
to take Latin! I told you so! and
Math!! Isn’t it dreadful? It didn’t
seem to impress the committee at all

Your
Feverish Freshie.

ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE
WITH YOUR BEAU?

Ask Teddy Tea-Hound, and he will
answer all your questions and solve
your problems.

Mr. Tea-Hound, after much induce-

ment, has been persuaded to take
charge of this work for the year. He
is a thoroughly competent young

chap, for since his graduation from
the “Georgia Derby and Cane Mili-
tary Institute” he has been engaged
in active work at all tea dances and
dinner parties. It is with much
pleasure that we introduce Mr. Tea-

Hound to Miss Agnes and we hope |

that his priceless wisdom and ex-
perience will be called upon to un-
ravel the snare of love.

HINTS TO FRESHMEN.

All girls who look wise are not
Seniors.

Don’t wear boudoir caps to break-
fast or you'll have to wear them all
the time during Soph week,

Don’t believe all the Sophomores
tell you.

Napkins are useless luxuries, what
is the table cloth for, anyway?

Try “Skiddo Skeeter” cream for
“muskeeter” bites.

Don’t be afraid to eat, you'll have
a big appetite eventually, why not

now?
If you long for a lovely complexion
ask the Juniors for some of the fa-

mous “Angel Bloom,” they'll know |
what you mean.

ing the first week. Aimee D. Glover, |
in charge of Social Service, aia
that you give as good a time to oth-
ers as you have yourself.

Somehow, whenever one thinks of |
Y. W. CG. A. she thinks also of the
Student Government Association of
Agnes Scott. Possibly it is because |
these are the two greatest forces in
making our lives well-rounded. Mar-
garet McLaughlin, who has already
explained the rules in the hand-book
to the Freshmen, is the head of this
organization. The first, second and
third vice-presidents, Jean McAlister,
Charlotte Newton and Marguerite
Watkins, respectively, have charge
of the larger dormitories, one vice-
president living in each. Mary
Knight is secretary of the associa-
tion and Ruth Scandrett is treasurer.
Of course you have read your little
hand-book and know what the rules
are which the organization upholds;
and of course you know that every
girl at Agnes Scott is as important
as any officers of the organization,
and depended on for just as much)
loyalty.

Here we should mention that the)
rules of the Athletic Association are |
just as binding as those of Student |

Government, though we are some-|
times apt to disregard them. Fannie
McCaa is president, and will see

that you are presented to the de-
lightful series of tennis games,
hockey, basket-ball, hiking, with the
glory of field day, and well-earned
numerals and letters at the last.
And now come the publications.
The Silhouette, our annual, heads the
list, under the gentle guidance of
Frances CC. Markley. Rachel Rush-
ton edits the Aurora, the quarterly
magazine, and Nell Buchanan strives

to give you the news through The
Agonistic.
Blackfriars, the dramatie club, is

planning to accomplish great things
this year, and has for its president
Rachel Rushton. Frances C. Markley
is at the head of B. O. Z., our
advanced writers club, and Helen
Faw holds the same position in Folio.
We can’t forget Hoasc, because that
is one of the biggest things at Agnes
Scott, Jean McAlister is president this
year, and Frances Charlotte is giv-
ing to K. U. B. all the enthusiasm that
the head of a new journalistic club
ought to have.

Of course Agnes Scott boasts many
other important organizations, the
names of which you will find in the
hand-book. To the Freshmen, these
“who's who” girls look for support
and inspiration, and the reason why
they look so happy is because there
are so many of you here.

the
his-

Friday afternoon, September
in the hall of representatives at
Capitol, a meeting unique in the
tory of Atlanta was held. Under the
auspices of the U. D. CG. all the
patriotic organizations, schools and
colleges in and around Atlanta were
represented in a celebration of the

United States, one hundred and _ thir-
ty-three years ago.

The speaker of the afternoon gave
a most illuminating history of our
constitution. showing the wisdom and
foresight of its framers who made
such a lasting and yet elastie instru-
ment that in the hundred and thirty-

and for the people in this land of

After the principal address, the au-
dience had a real treat in the read-

of Freedom Ridge,” which closed the
principal part of the program.

Agnes Scott was represented in the

THE AGONISTIC

FACTS ABOUT OUR NEXT
PRESIDENT,

Now that women have been grant-
ed the yote through the nineteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, certain duties as well
as privileges are thrust upon us. We
ought to put more real interest and
enthusiasm into voting for the presi-
dent of our country, than in electing
our school officers, and so it behooves
us to really know the men for whom
we vote. What do you know about
the presidential candidates? Are you
familiar with the lives of Harding
and Cox? If you are not, the follow-
ing statements will possibly be of

linterest to you.

‘STUDENT GOVERNMENT RE-

CEPTION SATURDAY

NIGHT.

On Saturday night in the lobby of
Rebeeca Seott Hall, the Student Goy-
ernment Association and the Y. W. C.
/A. entertained the college community
jat a most delightful reception. Dain-
ty Jack o’ lanterns were strung along,
the porches and .colonade, and here
and there, under opened parasols,
Japanese girls served punch from be-
hind beautifully decorated tables.
The reception room was beautiful
with banked ferns, and myrtle cover-
ed the pillows and stairway. From
|tables here and there, favors were
given the guests. The many colored
evening gowns made a very pretty
scene, and from behind the ferns an
/orchestra played soft music.

The guests were led down the re-
ceiving line, and met the officers of
the college and of" the associations.
In the line were Dr, and Mrs. Gaines,
Miss Hopkins, Margaret McLaughlin,

After going down the receiving
line, the guests were entertained with
music and dances. Ruth Kaiser and
Quenelle Harrold gave a most at-
tractive Japanese dance, and Mar-
garet McLaughlin sang with her us-
ual charm.

The reception this year was even
more delightful than usual, and was
enjoyed by every one.

People over the entire South greet

with pleasure the announcement each |

fall of the All-Star and the Civie Con-

musie center of the South. The sea-
son of 1920.21 brings an unusually
great number of eminent artists who
will no doubt entertain many Agnes
Scott girls. We are more fortunate

than thost Southern college stu-
dents, for Atlanta affords a great

are both profitable and pleasurable.

Tickets for the Civic Concert Series
will go on sale at the Cable Piano
Company on September 25, those of
the All-Star about the middle of Oc-
tober. Prices will be about like last
season's, in proportion to the num.
ber of concerts.

Of particular interest this year will

be the first appearance in Atlanta of |

the Isadora Duncan Dancers, with
Beryl Rubinstein, the brilliant young
Georgia pianist, as soloist and ac-
companist. Atlanta is also hearing

for the first time Titta Ruffo, who!

stands absolutely alone among bari-
tones in opera or concert, and Zim-|
balist, who is both a great artist and)
the husband of Alma Gluck,

Many of us heard Margaret Matze-
nauer last April during the opera sea-
son as Delilah the opening night, and

the Azucena of “fl Trovatore,” and
remember distinctly her deep, clear,
rich voice. Consequently many of us
will hear her this faN on the concert
stage.

Fritz Kreisler is returning for a
concert too as well as Madame
Schumann-Heink, while Galli-Curci,
Joset Hofmann, and the Cincinnati

Symphony Orchestra are returned for
their third and fourth engagements.
Galli-Curci hag been given Thanks-

will buy their tickets early.

Of Rosa Ponselle, Mr, Evans of the
Evans-Salter Musical Bureau, said:
“Rosa Ponselle has been tremendous-
ly successful in concerts in the east,
and we feel sure she will be as well
liked here in her own person as in
an opera role.”

K.U. B. JOURNALISTIC
CLUB

SUPPORTS AGONISTIC AND
SUPPLIES TOWN PAPERS,

Tryouts Open to All.

Some of us, who have been reading
the Atlanta Constitution and the
Georgian on the subject of all the par-
ties given at Agnes Scott have been
impressed with the fact that these
papers have unusually good reporters.
And so they have, but the interesting
part of it is that these reporters are
members of our own community;
more specifically, they are members

of K. U. B., the Agnes Scott Journal-
ism club.
K. U. B. is about the youngest or-

ganization in college, and one of the
most active. In view of these two
facts we shall give a brief history of
the club.

Last year, late in the spring, sey-
eral ardent Agonistic supporters be.
gan to worry about what would be
the fate of “Aggie” since the former
class in journalism has been taken
out of the college curriculum. They
decided that since the rudiments of
newspaper work cannot be obtained
academically, they could be obtained
socially, And so the charter mem-
bers, Frances Markley, Nell Buc-
hanan, Sarah Till, Polly Stone,
Frances Harper and Bleanor Carpen-
ter met to carry out the idea. They
not only carried it out, they developed
it to an unhoped for extent. It was
unanimously decided that our Alma
Mater needed more close association
with the outside world, and that the

an Agnes Scott girl does
something noteworthy her home town
be informed of it. But
the Agonistic will be always in view,
and to this end, a scientific and en-
tertaining study of journalism will be
conducted at the regular meetings.

The membership of the club will be
limited to ten. All students have
been cordially invited to tryout for
reporters on the Agonistic, and after
Christmas, those reporters or sub-
editors doing the best work will be
invited to members of K.
U. B.

The initials K, U. B. have a signifi-
cance known only to the members of
the society. They represent the
Greek letters Kappa Upsilon Beta,
which will appear on the pin, to be
worn by all K. U. B.'s. The pin is
quill shaped, and of gold.

The society has met with hearty
support from the officers of the col-
lege and of the Atlanta newspaper
editors, and we feel sure that it has
a great future.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS.

Patronize our advertisers! How many times have the students of

Agnes Scott heard that phrase, yet every year it becomes more important.
The position of Business Manager of the Agonistic is not easy at best.
If the students could only realize how much they could help without it
being any extra trouble to them, we’re sure they would do their best.
Read the advertisements carefully. Do you realize that it is the busi-|
ness men who advertise with us that make our publications possible? Then
when you go into a store that advertises with us, tell them that you saw
their ad. in the Agonistic. That’s a good way to show your school spirit.
Help the Agonistic grow. Patronize our advertisers, and help us make

it a success.

DON’T BE SNOBBISH—SAY ‘‘HEY!’’
Now is the time of the year when everybody is making new acquaintances,
and when the new girls are receiving their first impressions of Agnes Scott.

As we all know, we, the students, make the college. We can make it snob-

bish and ridiculous, or we can make it democratic and progressive.

The responsibility of making it the best Kind of a college, and of in-

spiring the Freshmen to carry out its glorious traditions and live up to its
reputation, lies with us.

Now it may seem like a little thing to pass a girl on the ¢ampus with-
out looking her way, or coolly nod your head when you pass a new girl on
the colonnade, but it’s little things like that which make lasting impres-
sions. It’s just as easy to say “Hey” and smile, as it is to turn your head

NEW BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP.

This year the new basis cf mem-
bership which was voted on here last
spring will have to prove itself. The
old basis was church membership;
the present one is a personal pledge |
of a desire to be a disciple of Christ.

There Was of course some opposi-
tion to this new basis. But the “As-

feature of the evening's program |
which was not consistent with the

PROPYLEAN PARTY.
The Props, fearing that perhaps
the stale city air of Decatur might
tempt some of the Freshmen into

the wild ways of dissipation, con-
cluded to give them a “lark” in the
country Tuesday night. . The Gym,
proved to be a really delightful rural
barn, and it was there that the
Propyleans entertained the new girls
ata barn party. Fragrant hay-stacks,
and real live chickens and a sure-
enough goat, together with the varied
assortment of costumes worn, gave
“atmosphere” to the scene, which a
himself would not have re-
cognized as artificial, Among those
present were the village belles and
beaux, farmerettes, shy little milk-
maids and all the rest who go to
make up such a picturesque gather-
ing. Farm implements were given
as favors,.and the cream and cake
were in green and white, which are
Propylean colors. Pledge Day re-
vealed the fact that among the
Freshman class there are quite a

our basis for membership be ‘personal

sociation Monthly” says:
or church’ we recognize that Jesus
Christ is the center of life. It is one
thing to find a moral ideal fulfilled in
Jesus and to become his disciple in
the same sense in which one might
become a disciple of Plato. It is
something totally different to enjoy
the friendship and own the master-

{ship of the living Christ in the sense

of consciously and continuously draw-
ing spirit life and force from Him.”

“One practical result of the basis
ciscussion must be a truer democracy
in our membership. Students who
join an Association after considering
its purpose must be given a_ true
share in its life and policy. Anything
tess is practically a denial of the op-
portunity to live out the very declara-
tion we ask as a membership test.
In too many associations now a small
group controls its policies, decides
1ipon its activities, and expresses its
mind.”

Agnes Scott voted for this amend-
ment at the convention in Cleveland.
We can now show that our judgment
was wise by giving careful thought to

the meaning of the pledge when we
are called upon to sign it, and by
being sure that we gain in our organ-
ization all its benefits of consecra-
tion and co-operation.

Some have feared that the new
basis would encourage atheism rather
than spirituality in the Y. W. C, A.
Advocates of its adoption do not fore-
see this, but we will have to wait to
determine the real effect.

An Italian fruit seller had received
the Word of God into her heart, and
spent her spare moments in reading
the Bible. One day a gentleman said
to her: “My good woman, what are
you reading?” “It is the Word of
God,” replied the woman. “The Word
of God, hdw do you know?” Looking
upward, she replied: “Can you prove
to me, sir, that there is a sun up in
the sky?” “Prove it!” he replied,
“why the best proof is that it warms
me, and that I see its light.” “So,”
she said, “the proof of this Book be-
ing the Word of God is that it warms
and lights my soul.”

And likewise the proof of the spirit-
uality of our Y. W. will be that it
makes Christian living easier.

are very few girls where beauty is
even skin deep. It's usually applied
“from without.”

As for night raids, why the Ger-
mans weren’t in it! Night after
night the Freshmen went to bed
with sinking hearts to lie awake
hours after Mr. Starr turned out the
kindly protecting lights, dreading

well they knew not what, except ev-
erything that the word’s Sophomore
raid implied. What night their doom
would fall, they knew not, they
shivered in cold perspiration at every
sound until one night in the wee
small hours they were ruthlessly
waked out of fitful sleep by the flare
of some twenty-five flashlights, and
commanded by a very stern voice to
make love to themselves in the mir-
ror and then to scramble like an egg.
Just across the hall some unfortunate
fellow sufferer who has been overly
endowed with avoirdupois is rolling
furiously up and down the floor at the
erder of a lean severe Sophomore,
while her room-mate is crawling
wearily under the bed to find
point of a joke she has just told.

Cheer up, Freshman! Your laundry

Don’t forget that you'll have an oppor-
tunity to wreak your vengeance on

To hill-top places in tall grass,
Where patches of the warm light

Shadows of low clouds that pass.

That leads into thin-shadowed

Where underneath dark tangled

Pink trilliums hide their quiet

One road is a fresh-wet lane,
With sunset lingering at its end:
And heavy yet with trembling rain
Tall black pine trees bend.

MY SONG.
When flowers bloomed along the way
To fill the hands of spring,
And blue sky blotted out the grey,
I had a song to sing.
But flowers fade too soon and fling
Their petals all athrong
One rose I saw—a shattered thing
And half forgot my song.
When the winds piped a softer lay,
And birds sang on the wing,
And music met the soul in play,
I had a song to sing.
But my chimes soon ceased to ring,
The notes, somehow seemed wrong,
And though still their memories
cling,
I half forgot my song.

When dreams crept near to sway
My inmost thoughts, and swing

The whole world far away,
I had a song to sing,

But dreams alone could not
Forgetfulness along,

I felt the world’s cold sting
And half forgot my song.

ATHLETIC SEASON ABOUT
TO BEGIN.

Hikes, Hockey, Tennis and Swim-
ming Going Strong.

Now that we've all been to classes
and seen what real work is, most of
us are mighty impatient for the ath-
letic season to begin. We want to do

some sure enough, good, hard play-/

ing. |

Hockey comes first. Everybody |
goes out for hockey, whether they've |
even played before or not. Most of |
the Freshmen know very little about
the game when they get here, but the
Freshman class always has a strong
team before the season is. over.

There is no special hiking season, |
we hike from September to May. The |
first hike of this semester came last
Friday.
girls left the campus late in the after-
noon, bound for Hast Lake. Supper
certainly tasted good in the open air,
weinies and bacon, of course, with |
apples for dessert. It was certainly a|
tired, happy crowd that came tramp-
ing back on the campus that night.

Genie Johnson is hike manager this
year, and she has announced that]
eight out of ten hikes are required
for a numeral this year.

The tennis courts and swimming
pool are receiving their share of at-
tention. The courts have been rolled
and marked, and are so good that the
deadest of balls is compelled to
bounce, while the pool seems much
larger.

There are several new white sweat-
ers on the campus, each adorned
with a resplendent purple A. 8.

made from several] sliced cold pota-
toes, a few left-over string beans, a
slice of bacon and two nutmegs.
Grind these thoroughly and _ broil
in hot oleomargarine. They are very
tasty for supper or breakfast.

2, Left-over fish bones can be boil-
ed for thirty minutes with a bay leaf,
an ounce of ketchup and a can of;
catnip, to make wonderful consomme.
Just the thing for the dainty lunch-

FRESHMEN WIN
BRONZE CAT OVER
SOPHOMORES

BOTH STUNTS EXCELLENT.

Freshmen Have Jubilee.

Go tell the Sophomores,
Go tell the Sophomores,
Go tell the Sophomores,
The Freshmen got the cat!

Yes, those Freshmen nabbed the
bronze kitty, the coveted feline
around whose neck is fastened a col-
lar with five little silver bells bearing
the numerals of the classes who have
succeeded in winning Her Majesty's

fayor. What rivalry her charms have
excited! What deadly feuds have
raged between the opposing factions,
each bent on winning her! Only
once in her career, before the memo-
rable date of October 2, 1920, has
she deigned to smile indulgently

upon the Freshmen,
more she sits with complacent smirk,
enthroned in the midst of the ador-
ing Freshmen.

How did it happen? If you came
to the contest of wits last Saturday
night, you know how it happened.
Long before the hour set for the per-
formance, the colonnade was packed
with the throng who had come to en-
joy our annual “stunt night.” And
when the chapel doors finally were
opened, everyone knew there would

be no disappointment, for the attrac: |

tive decorations bore witness to the
cleverness and originality of both
classes.

of the chapel were gayly turned with

such yells, as preceded the “ringing part was played by a huge pitcher of |

up” of the curtain.

A vigorous “shoo” suddenly silenced |

and the curtains
parted, revealing a most attractive
garden, trim and well kept with
low brick wall dividing it through the
center. On one side of the wall
bloomed stately lilies, pansies, chry-
santhemums and other flowers of cul-
ture and refinement, while just across
the wall, grew plain but useful vegeta- |
bles—“onion strong as he can be,”
“take with eyes in the back of his
head” and all their rural brethren.

It was quite evident from the con-
versation which ensued that the lowly
vegetables were very much scorned
by the haughty flowers, but they
didn’t seem to care, for they soon
burst out in a rollicking song:
“Bloomin’ lot of vegetables are we,

the enthusiasts,

Fresh and green and short and lean |

we be.”
The discussion was interrupted by

the entrance of the mistress of the |

garden accompanied by her gardener
with whom she is arguing about the
placing of a sundial on which is re-
posing a black cat. The gardener
was opposed to placing it among the
flowers which would soon die, and

they finally decided to wait and see)

which side of the garden would show
the greatest beauty and develop-
ment.

Act Il showed a scene of bitter de-|

spair among the vegetables, for they
realized their limitations. Into this
scene of mourning crawled the worm
of conceit, who offered a panacea for
their troubles, but they scorn him
and he slinks away into the flower
garden.

Next morning the mistress and
gardener came again, to find the flow-
ers dead at their feet, cut down by

The plans for the inter-collegiate
|debate are somewhat different from
\those of last year. There is if pos-
sible to be a triangle debate, in which
| Sophie Newcomb, Randolph-Macon,
and Agnes Scott are to, be the par-
ticipants. Randolph-Macon has not
yet been heard from, but it is zreatly
| to be desired that the plan, which
\is highly approved by our own de-
bating council, should be taken up.
|The debate with Newcomb is to be
held here, but if the plan is adopted
there will be three debates on the
same night at the three colleges. Our
affirmative team will stay here. and
|debate Newcomb’s negative. Our
negative will go to Randolph-Macon
and debate the affirmative there,
while Randolph-Macon’s negative will
go to Newcomb to debate the -affirma-
tive there. The debates will all be
held the same night and the results
will be telegraphed as soon as they
are known. 7

It is most important from every
standpoint that these inter-collegiate
‘debates should be held for they will
be a powerful factor in making Agnes
Scott known throughout the South;
for the area included in the triangle
/is practically that of the state from
which most of our girls come, where

Agnes Scott is already known and
will by this means become better
|known, It will also carry news of

Agnes Scott to territory where it is
not so well known, and will generally
inerease interest and enthusiasm for
its plans and growth. Considering
ithis it is essential that every girl
should do her best to uphold the
plans of the debating council: not
jonly take part in the debates herself,
but urge and encourage others to do
so, and in this way help to build up
for Agnes Scott the reputation for
|haying the best collegiate debaters in
ithe South. Other colleges will judge
jus by our debaters and it is most im-
portant that we should be able to
}stand their criticism without any. fear
of falling short of their expectations.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

READ THE NEWSPAPERS.

Girls, do you realize what a great responsibility has been conferred
upon us in the 19th amendment to the Constitution of the United States?
We all have our share in our government, and it is our duty to help make
it the best sort of government possible. It is true that some of us didn’t
care for the privilege of casting our ballot, but now that the privilege of
voting has been thrust upon all alike, it is everyone’s duty to prepare herself
to make the best use of her vote.

in the affairs of State, the majority of women have been prone to pay little
attention to them, and to devote their time wholly to domestic problems.
That day has passed, when we can ignore those things, and we, as college
women, are’ bound to be leaders in the woman’s political world.

Now, how can we best prepare ourselves to meet our new responsibility?
We can’t make speeches on the street corners—nobody wants us to.

THE AGONISTIC

FRESHMAN COMMISSION | Dow, Evelyn King, Jeannette Lau-

APPOINTED.

Do you know what the Freshman | Young,
D | Archer, Barron Wyatt, Victoria Howit,

Commission is? If you will sto
long enough to think about the size
of the Freshman class, and how new
to most_of its members are the work-
ings and the ideals of a college Y. W.
Cc. A., you will realize the problem
for which the Freshman Commission
is the solution. It consists of forty
Freshmen, chosen for their influence
and for their location on the campus.
Once a month the president of ¥. W.
meets with them to discuss the work
of the Association in general, and
any specific problems which they
want to bring up.

The president tries in these meet-
ings to give them the spirit of the
Y. W. GC. A. in order that they in
their daily contact with the other
members of their class may transmit

to them what they have gained. A
place on the Freshman Commission,
therefore, is an important one, entail-
ing a big responsibility. Those who
are asked to serve should realize how
great an opportunity is theirs.

For this year the following girls
have been appointed:

ERROR LAST WEEK.

A mistake was made last week in
saying that Agnes Scott would have
a new basis of membership in the
Y. W. C. A. this year. This amend-
ment has been widely adopted; but
here, where most of the girls are
church members, and one who is not
has never been nominated to hold of-
fice in the organization, a change did

not seem necessary. By making mem-
bership mean more definitely this year
than ever before, however, a personal
allegiance to Jesus Christ, we expect
to gain all the benefits which are)
claimed for the new basis.

AGNES SCOTT LEADERS.

Miss Brace, the Girls’ Work Secre-
tary of the Y. W. C. A. in Atlanta, is)
giving Agnes Scott girls this year a
chance to help in one of the most in-

FRESHMEN! HERE IS YOUR
CHANCE.

Scphomores Are in the Shade
When it Comes to Folio.

Ever since you have been at Agnes
Scott haven’t you felt somewhat in-
significant? When you first found that
‘you were really going to college you
felt like one of the “big men” of the
‘country—fully capable of doing any-
thing set before you. But after a
week at Agnes Scott your sentiments
changed just a little, and by the time
Sophomore week was over, you were
convinced that you were a mere ant
of the groun) |

But now all those first stages of
homesickness and “ratting” are over,
and if you will come out for the Folio

Club you will have a very great send
off to becoming a “big man” in the
community. So come on and make
a brave attempt just to revenge a
Sophomore or two—if nothing else.

The Folio Club is composed of
Freshmen, but the Sophomores will
remain in until Christmas, when
things are organized. The usual num-
ber for this club is eight, but of
course, all good material is wanted,
so there is no restriction as to the
number. That is good news, so girls,
sit up and take notice.

As Mrs. Dieckmann is not living on
the campus this year the meetings
will be held in the rooms of the dif-
ferent members. It is reported that
the whole Freshman class is good at
theme writing, so come on out for
Folio—which is not compulsory work,
but purely for the enjoyment one
finds in doing it.

a ravishingly beautiful creation in Orient Satins, trimmed
with Georgette in Aztec shade and with Chenille em-

GIDDIE

Dearest Aggie:

Whoops, m'dear! it’s only fifty-four
days ‘till Christmas and I’m _ so
thrilled I can hardly think. But gee!
coming to think about it, fifty-four
days is quite a while, isn’t it? On
second thought I don’t believe I’m so
thrilled after all. Thanksgiving is
nearer any way, so I'll just concen-
trate on having a grand time then—
if—anyone comes.

But some folks don’t have to wait
until Thanksgiving for their beaus to
come to see them—witness, Peg.
“Bill” is certainly coming sometime
this month, so Peg isn’t losing any
time in telling all the Inman girls
about what “a wonderful boy” he
really is 'n everything. He isn’t the
only boy who is being discussed by
fair Inman damsels, for there’s Jim,
you see. Yes, Marjorie’s new Tech
beau, and from her description, he
must be some youth. (Don’t tell any
one, but she wears his S. A. E. frat
pin.) ; Isn't. that perfectly romantic?
And she’s so young, too.

But speaking of popular young
ladies, no one has a thing on a couple
of Freshmen who are dated up for—
let's see—six weeks I think, Helen
said and her roommate, Mary Kelley,
gets five letters each mail and at least
three boxes of candy a week. Think
of it! And here Iwas congratulating
myself on my sample box of “Wiley’s

GOSSIP

best.” That’s all right, when I gradu-
ate I'll bet someone will send me a
box of candy—maybe.

Lois McC. had a birthday this week
and I hear that all of her friends are
blessing the name of “Reid” for his
good taste in selecting Allegretti’s.
Some fellows “say it with flowers,”
that’s why Virignia P. sported several
dozen gorgeous roses the other day.
She had a birthday, too. :

By the way, I wonder why so many
girls have been going to the North
Avenue Presbyterian church every
Sunday. Of course, it’s a nice ride
out there, but lots of other churches
are just as far out, if not—. Say, do
you reckon it’s on account of that
Tech bunch who adorn the back rows
of the balcony every morning? But
no, I don’t suppose that’s it. Any-
way, it’s a mighty nice church.

You know how “third floor Main”
is always doing something? Well,
it—I mean the girls there—are all
bobbing their hair—at least six have
already appeared with shorn locks
and a guilty look, which seems to
say, “Just wait ‘till I hear from the
family!” Isn’t that just like Main?

Write to me soon and meanwhile
don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Yours, (until someone else wants
me). GIDDIB.

sticks.”

NEW MATH. PROF. FROM
U. OF VA.

Likes Agnes Scott and Georgia.

The question of new faculty mem-
bers is always a question of interest
as well as of information to college
girls, and so at A. S. C. the question
of who the new Mathematics Profes-
sor would be has proved a much de-
bated matter since the opening day.
And now the rew addition to our
faculty is here.

His name is Mr. H. L. Painter, and
he hails from the good State of Vir-
ginia, from Charlottesville, to be ex-
act, and he is an A.B, and an M.B.

His A.B. degree he received at
Hampden Sidney College, near Farm.
ville, Virginia, and he received his
M.E, from the University of Virginia
in 1918.

Mr. Painter seems to like A. 8S. C.,
in fact he says that he “is charmed
with Agnes Scott and regrets that his
stay is to be only temporary,” a re-
gret that we share with him. But we
are glad he likes A. S. C.—of course
he just couldn’t help liking it—and
we hope that he will continue to do
so whether his stay is, as he says,
only temporary, or of longer dura-
tion.

BLACKFRIAR TRYOUTS OC-
TOBER 20,

Blackfriar try-outs are still indefi-
nite and, so far, Miss Gooch has been
unable to announce the list of plays
which may be chosen for this testing
of our budding dramatie ability.

The 20th of October has been set
for the beginning of the try-outs, and
this will be a red-letter day on our
college calendar. Then it is that we
discover in our midst fair Juliets and
impetuous Romeos. Then it is that
we see our corridors converted into
stages whereon stride lords and ladies,
soliloquizing over their banished lov-
ers, and crushed hopes. For several
weeks before the 20th an open tran-
som or partly closed door emit sounds
of passion and tragic farce—

“Fie, how my bones do ache.”
“Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou,

Romeo?” “Get you to your lord; I
can not love him!”
And these sounds are veritable

proof of a joyful few who, when the
agony is over, find themselves proudly
acclaimed a ‘“Blackfriar.”’

the arrival of Zorka Petrovitch, the
Serbian girl who was to have been a
student here this year. She has been!

illness of a relative, and may not be

We are all very much disappointed

sum of money which they had con-

that of raising a canopy over the sun-

was again drawn back, this time

in his kingdom was explained by his |
courtiers who hailed him thus:

WHAT IS YOUR POLITICS—

When a great event is about to
occur, when an important question is
about to be solved, and solved in part
by us, it is well to. be thoroughly ac-
quainted with all its aspects. Of par-
ticular and immediate interest to us

the right man as president in the
present state of affairs will be of
far reaching consequence both to

America and the world at large, we

worthy of the gravest consideration,

consider the true meaning of the term
“investigation.” We may read widely
many articles written by both parties
regardless of our political sentiments,
without really investigating the mat-
ter. For to do so fairly, we must do
so unprejudicedly and with open
minds. It is a sad truth that most
of us, and we are not the only ones,
read a political speech merely to see
Wherein it will back up our already
firmly rooted ideas, and interpret it
to mean what is pleasing to us.

Here in Georgia, we are in a par-
ticularly difficult situation, We are
surrounded by a Democratic atmos-
phere so dense that it might easily be
like fog if we are not careful. We
were born Democrats, we have been
reared as Democrats, and many of us
will die Democrats, but is that the
slightest reason why we should throw
up our hands in horror at the mere

mention of Republicanism, about
which we really know nothing? It is
another matter to “throw up our)

Tands” in horror if we have thorough-

peace, when finally concluded should
incorporate the League of Nations in
whole or in part, is entirely too
lengthy to be at all adequately dis-
cussed here. But it is well for those
of us who are Democrats to remember
that the fact that so large.a portion
of the country is so ardently opposed
to the League must indicate that the
League is not absolutely flawless.
Most of us would be greatly benefited
by reading publications on both sides)
of the question, never entirely one or |
the other. To this end, we recom-
mend the Review of Reviews, as op-
posed to World’s Work. BE. B..C.

GNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1920

BRANCH OF ATLANTA
FRENCH ALLIANCE T0
BE FORMED AT
AGNES SCOTT

MME. SLIFER TO HELP CON-
DUCT MEETINGS.

Meetings Every Two Weeks,

On parle francais ici! This is

proven by the Alliance Francaise soon
to be formed here at college. There
is a French club in Atlanta whose
members, some of them from Agnes
Scott, have organized an Alliance, a
branch. of an international French
society. Because we find it difficult
to attend these meetings in Atlanta,
an Alliance is to be revived here in
addition to the one in Atlanta.

This Alliance is to meet for an
hour twice a month and at one of
these meetings a French woman
known to us all as Mme. Slifer, will
lecture. To hear a native French
woman speak wiil train the ears and
be good for one’s accent, even though
one may fail to understand a few of
the things she says, and Mme. Slifer’s
pronunciation is truly beautiful. The
other meeting will be informal, in
whose discussions all may take part.

The meetings are to be conducted
entirely in French. The president
will make her remarks in French;

the secretary will give her reports in

_French; and the members of the club
will air their opinions and their
French at the same time. A better
opportunity for learning, outside of
the classroom, to think in French,
and to. speak French “Frenchly”
could not be found at college.

The officers are to be elected from
the girls. A committee of delegates
from the different classes has been
chosen to arrange meetings and
nominate officers. Those comprising
this committee are Victoria Howie,
representing French 0 classes; Pearl
Smith, representing French I, and
Margaret Hay, representing French 2.
The officers elected will necessarily
be from the higher classes.

Interest in this Alliance runs high;
all are urged to join and with the
pleasure derived from the meetings,

acquire a knowledge of French that)

will be invaluable that trip

abroad.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS

ELECTED,

Victoria Howie New President.

At a very interesting meeting of
the Freshman class
Thursday night after prayer, the class
was organized and officers chosen for
the coming year. Frances Young,
who was temporary chairman of the
class, with the aid of the Junior
president, presided over the meeting.

This was the first important as-
sembly of the class and after an en-
thusiastic discussion,
officers were elected: Victoria Howie,
president; Frances Young, vice-presi-
dent; Ella Louise Landress, secretary
and treasurer,

A rising vote of thanks was given
Frances Young fer her work towards
“Stunt Night” and to Sidney Morton
for serving as temporary cheer lead-
er. Being an irregular, Sidney was
unable to continue in that office.
Nancy Evans and Elmer Swaney were
elected as our future cheer leaders
and we are expecting great things of
them at the Soph-Freshman hockey
game Saturday afternoon.

The elections were met with hearty
applause and now that the class has
been fully organized, the Freshmen’s
one hope is to live up to the ideals
and traditions of their Alma Mater
and thus become a more efficient unit
of Agnes Scott.

STUDENTS HOLD MEMORIAL, FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! MR. ORR SPEAKS

FOR MISS ANNA YOUNG

PRESIDENT OF Y. W. C. A.
MAKES THE TALK.

On last Wednesday morning during
the chapel period, the students as-
sembled for a memorial service for
Miss Anna Young. The girls came
in quietly, and on the face of each
was written awe and solemnity, min-
gled with sorrow. _

Ellen Wilson led the service, and
after the scripture reading, Margaret
McLaughlin sang “One Sweetly Sol-
Never Wave ie giris
felt closer to each other, for during
that hour we were all sisters bound
together by the tie of a common sor-
row.

After the song, Janef Preston in
her simple straight forward manner,
made more eloquent by her own emo-
tion, talked to us.

“One Sweetly Solemn Thought’
has indeed come to us again and
again during all these days we have
been back at college, the thought that
at this time last year Miss Anna
Young was with us and that today
she has gone away. We have missed
her more than we can talk about. We

jhave grieved for her and felt that

nobody could ever take her place
among us. Because she belonged to
us and we to her, because we loved
her and have sorrowed for her, we
have gathered here this morning as a
group of her girls to hold this quiet
service of loving remembrance,

We remember how many years of

_|her life she gave to Agnes Scott; for

she was not only a graduate but was
for many years head of the depart-
ment of mathematics. We remember
how much our college owes to her—
how much of her life was spent in
service to her Alma Mater. We re-
member especially how she worked
for the endowment of the college, and
how dear to her was the dream of
seeing a bigger and more splendid
Agnes Scott, a college devoted to the
education of Christian womanhood
and the building cf Christian char-
acter. We remember what a friend
she was to every organization on the
campus and how we counted upon
her advice and encouragement in ev-
erything we wanted to undertake.
We are remembering most of all
what she meant to us as individuals;
how patient she was with us and how
her vision kept us striving upward.
We never knew a person who so had
her gift of “seeing in the secret of
every soul-the hidden gleam of a per-
fect life.’ She believed in us; and
her trust helped us to become what
she believed we could become. We
know that we can never forget that
her inner life shone out with such
persuasive power that it revealed to
others the light of the knowledge of
God. The secret of her life as we
knew her was self-forgetting love;

DRILLS START WITH EN-
THUSIASM.

New Chief Appointed.

Fire drills, which in the past have
always seemed to come just at that
moment in the night when one’s
senses are deliciously tickled by a
pleasant drowsiness and when sleep
is the most desirable thing on the
ecampus,—yes, these same fire drills,
are giving promise of great things
for the future.

| Our new chief and her corps of as-

sistants have been working out their
plans for this year and their minds
have evolved thes idea of campus
drills which will be given during
daylight hours. Just imagine your-
self in a class, sitting on the pro-
verbial pins and néédles, with the
teacher preparing to make you her
next victim and then, quite suddenly,
there comés the shrill cry of the
whistle calling everyone to a campus
fire drill.

This new scheme will be given a
trial soon; and the co-operation of
every student is needed to insure it’s
isuccess. Dr. Gaines considers the
fire department one of the most im.
portant organizations in the college
and he urges that absolute prompt-
ness be observed at all drills. Care-
ful attention to rules and regulations
is essential if this phase of college
activities is to uphold the high stand-
ard of efficiency which is character-
istic of Agnes Scott.

This year, for the first time, the
fire department will be wholly under
the Student Government organization.
A formal constitution is being drawn
up, and all penalties for violation of
rules will be handled by Student Goy-
ernment. The fact that the strict. ob-
servance of fire regulations will now
be a part of our honor system should
mean that every girl will do more to
make fire drills the preventative
measure which they are intended to
be.

The fire department is represented
in the different buildings by the fol-
lowing girls:

AT AGNES SCOTT

BRINGS WITH HIM “UNCLE
BILLY’’ WITHAM.

Receive Hearty Welcome.

Saturday morning Agnes Scott was
startled out of its perpetual calm by
the visit of Mr. J. K. Orr, known to
all the old girls as Chairman of our
Board of Trustees, and the wittiest
speaker who comes to us. Mr. Wit-
ham, who accompanied Mr. Orr, was
also welcomed, not only because he
ig May Orr's frtiat’ but: sscause: ef ‘his
own interesting personality.

In his usual jovial manner Mr, Orr
introduced Mr. Witham with the com-
pliment. that Mrs. Witham really
Like a good
diplomat he added that if his friend
were not already handsome he would
get it by radiation from us. He and
Mr. Witham are often mistaken for
each other. Frequently Mr. Orr has
been asked when he was going to
open a bank in a certain town. He
said he wondered if he were expected
to do it with a jimmy, until he realiz-
ed it was all due to his great like-
ness to Mr. Witham. ‘

Not only, Mr. Orr says, do people
desiring banks opened, come up to
him, but Agnes Scott girls who have
taken the degree of M.R.S, and who
knew Mr. Orr in their school days
here, often introduce themselves on
the train and elsewhere.

In a more serious vein our speaker
told of the hundreds of banks of|
which Mr. Witham had been presi-
dent, and of the many girls whom he}
had helped through school. He then
turned the speechmaking over to Mr.
Witham, who showed himself his
friend’s equal in good-natured bad-
inage. In fact he fully proved his
statement that he was of Irish de-
scent and so, heir to Irish wit. In the
matter of looks he said he would
leave it to us to judge if Mr. Orr had
anything on him. He had suffered
from mistaken identity also, having
been asked when he would pay the
two dollars he had owed for so long.

Very entertainingly he spoke of the
many banks in which he used to em-
ploy a great number of boys and
young men. If they did not have suf-
ficient education he saw that they
were schooled and then taught the
business. Having guided them as far
as a good competency, Mr. Witham’s
generosity extended as far as provid-
ing them with wives, graduates of the
many schools in which he was inter-
ested. (Parenthetically he added that
this assisted the young ladies in pay-
ing for their education, and that we
should all want to go to one of his
schools.)

In a graver tone, Mr. Witham told
us of how he loved the one hundred
and third psalm which we had just
read and many others of the psalms.

MNEMOSYNEANS

PROPYLEAN'S

FIRST PRELIMINARY SATUR-
DAY NIGHT.

Inter-Society Debate Dec. 3.

Are the debating societies dead? I

should say not! They're rapidly be-
the
campus, especially since we're hoping
and planning for an absolutely thrill-

ing triangular debate with the other

coming livest things on the

two leading women’s colleges of the
South, Sophie Newcomb and Ran-

dolph-Macon. We have rep, pep, and

splendid material to work with. Each
society has signed up a long list of
girls who are going to debate in the
preliminaries, and work toward the
goal of the inter-society debate to be
held December 3.

An entirely new plan has been
adopted this year in both societies,
that of giving a society pin to each
girl who ‘attends six meetings and de-
bates once during the first semester
or else attends twelve meetings dur-
ing the year. This will certainly add
interest and enthusiasm in attend-
ance,

The Mnemosyneans have already
challenged the Propyleans to a debate
the first week in December, on the
subject: Resolved: that in our pres-
ent form of government, the leader-
ship of the president is conducive to
general welfare.

Next Saturday night the Propyleans
will have had their first preliminary
debate and we hope it will be attended
with “pep” and a large crowd of
members. The Mnemosyneans, have
been obilged to postpone their first
debate until next Saturday night,
when they will take up the same
question that will be threshed out by
the Propyleans. Go to all the meetings
and keep up with the activities of
your society, for if the size of the list
of volunteer debaters is indicative of

motion, there will certainly be some-

thing doing from now on.

THE AGONISTIC

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP YET?
A desire to do some sort of social
service work lies in the heart of al-

most every Agnes Scott girl. For this
reason the Y. W. C. A. has a social
service department. Last Sunday
night this department presented the
different phases of its work through
girls who had grown to love certain
institutions while helping them last
year. .

There is the Wesley House, a sort
of day nursery, where you can play
with the children and teach them
things. Then there is the Crippled
Children’s Home, where volunteers
are especially needed to teach Sun-
day school classes on Saturday after-
noon,—the only time the children can
receive any religious instruction at
all: There is the Decatur Orphans’
Home, where you can teach the chil-
dren games and tell them stories.
There is the Home for the Friendless,
where the little inmates need every-
thing you can give them,—games,
stories, and sewing lessons.

For those who are inexperienced in
dealing with children, there is oppor-
tunity for service in the maids’ Sun-
day school class. The Tabithas and
Angelines are exceedingly interested,
and extend an invitation to the stu-
dents to visit them any Sunday morn-
ing. It is worth going out of your
way to hear them sing.

The last appeal is one to which
none can claim lack of talent or ex-
perience. It is for girls to go out to
the Poor House and listen to the old
people talk.

THE Y. W. C. A, HAS COMPANY.

Last week-end Miss Katherine
Lumpkin, the new Student Secretary
for colleges, spent Saturday night and |
Sunday with the Cabinet. She met
with them several times in confer-
ences which were full of helpful sug-
gestions, and pervaded by Miss Lump-
kin’s inspirational personality. In
the Y. W. meeting Sunday night the
entire student body was given a
chance to know her.

SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD
TO.

Emory, Tech, Oglethorpe, and the
Atlanta members of the Student Vol.
unteer Union are going to meet with
the Agnes Scott volunteers this year
in the Mnemosynean Hall, probably
the first Sunday in each month. The
Union has between fifty and seventy-
five members, and all who are inter-
ested are welcome as visitors.

OF STATE WIDE INTEREST.

Officers of the Georgia Union of the
Student Volunteer Movement are en-
thusiastic over their plans for this
year. A circular letter carries in-
structions to the leader of each of the
22 colleges in Georgia which have
bands. This letter tells about the
magazine they want to publish. It
will contain letters from sailed vol-
unteers, news of foreign fields, and
accounts of local activities.

Two or three editions of the maga-
zine will be published if possible be-
fore February, for then there is to
be a big state convention, either at
Bessie Tift or at G. N. I. C,

At this convention there is to be
an exhibit made up of a hundred post-
ers. These will be classified under
the following heads: I. Needs by
countries and by subjects; Il. Forms
of mission work; Il. Effect of Chris-
tian missions; IV. Forward look in
the different churches; V. Student
mission activities.

There are to be two big open meet-
ings, the first one probably Friday,
November 19, at Wesley Memorial
Church. There are to be twenty or
thirty posters to advertise this meet-
ing, some of which are already finish-
ed. The meeting will consist of talks
by some of the leading members of
the Atlanta Union, with special music
led by a director who is going out in
February. _

Invitations will be extended to the
young people of Atlanta through the
B. Y. P. U.’s, Epworth Leagues, and
Christian Endeavor Societies. Some
of the girls from Agnes Scott, under
the chaperonage of teachers, are go-
ing around to make some of the
talks. An invitation to the college
community will be given through the
Y. W.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

BORROWING—DON’T GET THE HABIT.
It is so very easy to get into the habit of doing things that we oughtn’t
to do, that we should be always on our guard against the formation of bad

habits. One of the easiest things to do—and one of the most dangerous—
is that of borrowing. And sometimes, however shamed we may be to say
it, we don’t pay back. 7

Have you ever been awfully hungry between classes, and suddenly
found out that you hadn’t any money with you? Well, you borrowed a
nickle from one of your friends, and you're not quite sure now whether
you paid it back or not. And not long ago when you were in a hurry to
get your letter off on the morning mail, you asked the girl next door to)
lend you a stamp, which you never returned.

These things in themselves are not of monumental! importance, but
they are examples of little carelessnesses that lead to greater things, and
that may permit us to do something one day for which we may be gen-
uinely sorry. Each of us wants to have a reputation for absolute integrity,
and it is by our honor in little things that we are judged for big things.

If you do borrow and don’t intend to pay back, don’t say “Lend me;”
say “Give me.”

BUSY SIGNS ARE TO KEEP YOU OUT.
Girls, busy signs are not invitations to come in and pay a long visit,
in spite of the idea that seems to be prevalent at Agnes Scott. They are
polite, though decidedly broad, hints to stay out.

Each one of us knows how exasperating it is to have some one slip
in in spite of a busy sign, saying “I’m sorry to come in over your sign, but
etc., ete.” Each individual girl seems to have the idea that the sign is
supposed to keep everybody out except herself and that she is sufficiently
favored to enter over it. This is not the truth, however, and it is to be hoped
that the girls may realize this.

The rooms in the dormitories are not equipped with guns like the
modern fort, in which we may defend ourselves from unwelcome intruders,
Our only
defense is The Busy Sign, and when The Busy Sign is disregarded, the

nor yet with moats such as surrounded the mediaeval castles.

girls are at a loss.
Don’t go into a room over a busy sign, girls. Take the hint, and keep

in the good graces of your friends.

THREE MINUTE TELEPHONE RULE,

It seems that the students at Agnes Scott do not fully understand
the three minute rule for the use of the telephone.

Unforunately, the telephone service here is very poor, but it is impos-|
sible for us to have more ‘phones put in until necessary work in Atlanta
has been finished. Until our system is improved, it devolves upon the girls
to be as considerate as possible of other people, and to observe strictly the

rules made for the use of the telephone.

It should be a point of honor with every girl in school, not to use the
"phone more than three minutes if some one else is waiting on it, and no
girl should hesitate to report another for the breaking of this rule.

It exasperates every one to have to wait fifteen minutes on an impor-|

tant phone call, Be as considerate of others as you wish them to be of you.

CHARLOTTE BELL LEAVES

FOR RICHMOND.

Attends Y. W. C. A. Field Com-
mittee Meeting.

Last Saturday, October 9, Charlotte
Belle left Agnes Scott for Richmond,

was escorted down to the gate by the
rest of us, who wished we could go

too. But we cheered her wildly, any-
way, and sent her on her way re-
joicing.

She is one of the seven undergrad-

uate representatives for the Southern |

Atlantic Field, who were chosen last
summer at Blue Ridge. Not every
Southern college has one of these
representatives, so we feel very proud
of A. S. C.

Richmond is very crowded at pres-
ent, as it is fair week, so accommo-
dations are hard to secure. We hear
that the seven Southern delegates are
going to share one room. It is to be
hoped that seven cots will not use up
all the floor space.

Blue Ridge conferences, when rooms

jare always crowded, they ought to be
such |

experienced “bunkers” under

conditions.

This field committee will be espe-|

cially occupied in considering plans
for a program of Christian citizen-
ship during this year.

There is a greater honor, however,

|that has come to Charlotte, and con-

sequently to A. S. C. This is that
she has been elected by all the under-
graduate delegates to represent the
whole Southern field on the student

|committee of the National Y. W. C. A.

Board at New York. This all goes
to show not only what an important
person Charlotte is, but also the
splendid type of girls Agnes Scott

| fosters.

We know she will return with
scores of new ideas for us and our
Y. W. C. A., and everything will be
“peppier” than ever. And now, let’s
give three cheers for the Y. W. C. A.
in general and Charlotte Bell in par.
ticular.

GOSSIP

Dearest Aggie:

Oh! I’ve been so busy “goin’ to
classes all day long, (and I ain't got
weary yet),” that I. haven’t had time
to write to anyone. You have never
seen or heard of such a_ studious
bunch of girls in all your life. A big
crowd take light cuts every night and
oh! such a crowd of “tortoise-shell
spectacled” persons in the library!
Do you know there are times when
you can’t even get a chair there?

But you know how it is, Aggie, ro-
mance can’t be kept out even by a
horde of lessons; it creeps into the
corners and lurks there ready to come
out at the slightest sign of encourage-
ment, And of course it is exciting to
have a bachelor’s quarters right on
the campus. Even the busiest people
find time to get thrilled over the fact.

Now Aggie, I've worked that out
very mathematically. Speaking of
math, you can't imagine how many
people who declared that they would
not take any math for the world, are
taking it. I can’t imagine what has
eaused such a Sudden change.

The Freshmen have something on
the Sophomores and now they are all
dying to be on Sophomore committee

next year. Do you think the only
reason is because they want to)
“take down” next year’s “rats”?

Goodness no! It’s more than that!
Listen, it’s a secret, but a member of
this year’s committee got kissed, in
the parlor the other night and the
dear little Freshmen have similar
aspirations. Don’t they begin early,
though?

Aggie, did you ever long to be a
suffragette? Well, you ought to be
here this year, we have Open Forum,
and all the girls take part. Oh! we're
learning politics out here at “Miss
Agnes” these days. I wouldn’t be
surprised if Frances Charlotte or
some one else would be elected Presi-
dent of the United States some day!

I don’t know anything more to tell
you, Aggie dear, except that Gena
Calloway and Margaret Turner are
both decked out in nice new frat pins.
Isn’t life thrilling?

Yours in doubt,
GIDDIB.

FRESHMEN ENTHUSIASTIC
AGONISTIC REPORTERS.

Twenty-Five Applicants Already
Signed Up.

Great enthusiasm has been mani-
fested this year in Agonistic work,
and during the past week the Fresh-
men have been showing what they
really are, by going heart and soul
into Aggie work. About twenty of
them who wished to pursue their lit-
erary tastes have signed up as re-
porters and anyone will be safe in
saying that this year is going to be
one of the biggest and best for our
weekly school paper.

Apart from the benefits derived by
the Agonistic from their aid, the
Freshmen receive no small
amount themselves. “Alertness and
an unequaled interest in college ac-
tivities are some of the greatest of
these benefits, for each of these re-
porters will be awake to her responsi-
bility of making the Agonistic what
we would like it to be. There is also
afforded to them practice for future
work on college publications of which
it is needless to say they will prove
themselves worthy. s

Everybody is looking forward to
each week’s Agonistic, because they
are going to be full of the spirit of
these Freshmen, who intend to give!
it some of their best work, in return |
for which it will teach them to view)
subjects not as they effect them but
as they effect the student body.

The Freshmen Agonistic reporters
are as follows:

Frances Young, Evelyn Byrd, Rose-)

son, Augusta Cannon, Emmie Fickler,

Autumn Walks Are Calling You.

Of. course you have taken moon-
light walks, or if you have not, your
room-mate has, and while you are
distractedly trying to study, insists
on reviewing her romantic experi-
ences sub luna. Strolls in the moon-
light are all very well in their place,
but if you are not sentimentally in-
clined and wish to excavate your
tired spirit from a mound of troubles
and worries, neglect everything for
a few hours some afternoon, and take
a long walk on one of these cool Oc-
tober days. Somehow, when you get
out in the woods and hear the dead

leaves crunching under your feet, and |

feel the cold air on your face, you
forget that life is the empty dream
or gruesome nightmare that you had
previously thought it.

HOCKEY STARTS OFF
© WITHA VIN

GIRLS START DIETING,

Junior vs. Senior and Soph, vs.
Freshmen Games Saturday,

Hockey is the most popular sport
at Agnes Scott just now. Enthusiasm
is just about equally divided among
the classes, though the Senior class
has the largest number of attendance
at practice.

Training season began with the se-
lection of the teams and the rules
are the same as usual, no eating be-
tween meals, except fruit, no pastry
or sodas and no candy except within a
half hour after meals. The teams

the girls who didn’t make the teams
but who are interested in hockey,
have signed as well. Dr. Sweet pre-
diets fewer colds, better complexions
and slimmer figures as a result of
this enforced moderation. “Down
with Chocolate Tans” is the watch-

word of the hockey players who are |

in training.

The hockey season was given a
good send-off by the double-header
game at three o'clock Saturday after-
noon. The field back of the Library
rivalled the Lyric for once, when the
Juniors and Seniors, the Freshmen
and Sophomores fought the initial
fight of the 1920-21 session.
team work was good for so early in
the season and we hope that hockey
will continue to be as popular all
year.

The following girls have
chosen for the hockey teams:

bad form to swear, and in the second
place it is not right to go back on

on it, just as, no doubt, the girls, that
have been back to Agnes Scott this
past week-end, have done. But it is
the same old story. The trees, the
campus, and every spot in each build-
ing grips you so, that words finally
fail to express your. love for the
place of your girlhood days. So this
is the reason for the visits of the last
year girls. They love Agnes Scott
so that they can't stay away alto-
gether,

These visitors were Marian Mc-
Camy, Mary Louise Slack (otherwise
known as “Crip”), and Lois Levit.
Lois is not one of the last year Sen-
iors, as are the other two, but she is
an Alumna all the same, and stopped
by to spend the night at A, S. C.
“Crip,” who is teaching this winter
in LaGrange, said she “just had to
come and take a peep at everybody.”
It really is a wonder Agnes Scott can
get along at all without “Crip,” so
her visits are necessary for the fu-
ture. Lots of the girls were disap-
pointed in not seeing Marian, for she
spent the greater part of her visit in
the Infirmary. But she fully recov-
ered in time to have a few hours in
other spots.

DR. ARMISTEAD HONORED

BY DECATUR JU. D. C,
At a meeting of the U. D. C.’s in
| Decatur a short time ago, it was vot-
ed that Dr. Armistead had conducted
jthe most interesting meeting of the
year.

The Decatur U. D. C. is divided into
committees, each of which is respon-
sible for one meeting during the
year. Naturally there is great rival-
ry between the different committees,
as each one tries to haye the prettiest
decorations and the most interesting
program. At the end of the year a
vote is taken to see which committee
has had the best meeting,

This year the vote favored the
meeting at which Dr. Armistead was
the speaker. His subject was Stone-
wall Jackson, and it was handled in
such a way that the ladies on that)
committee unite in saying it was Dr.
Armistead who won the vote for their
program.

STUDENT GOVERN-

MENT CONVENTION
~ AT ELMIRA, N. Y.,
NOY. 11, 12, 13.

AGNES SCOTT ONE OF THREE
SOUTHERN COLLEGES
REPRESENTED.

President Student Government
and Member Junior Class to
Represent Us.

We were so accustomed to our Stu-
dent Government running along in the
same smooth way from week to week,
like a very efficient machine, that we
never stopped to think where all the
inspiration and ideas came from.
Then the other morning at chapel we
heard of the coming Student Govern.
ment Convention to be held at Elmira,
New York, on the lith, 12th and 13th
of next month; and we were asked to
elect those of our student body whom
we wanted to represent us. The girls
chosen were Margaret McLaughlin and
Nell Buchanan. Since Agnes Scott has
the honor of being one of the three
colleges of the South to be repre-
sented at this Convention, we rejoice
in having delegates so well fitted to
uphold the good name of our college.
Our representatives will be joined
én route by Miss Emily Harrison, who
is’ the Southern representative of

Avomen’s colleges.

Last year Julia Hagood and Frances
Charlotte Markley represented us at
the Convention held at Wilson College
in Pennsylvania. Some of the splendid
ideas they brought back are being
used now. We are expecting these
delegates fo bring baek enough “pep’
to infuse new ideas and spirit into the
student body.

Not only do the Conventions show
us how great a thing the honor system
is and inspire us with loyalty for it,
but with so many girls all together
there is sure to be lots of inspiration
and brilliant ideas, which each girl
has the benefit of—delightful pleasures
and new privileges that student gov-
ernment makes possible.

Then, girls, when Margaret and Nell
start off, let’s prepare to give them
far as the

safe conduct, as least as
big gate. Cheer them on their way

with “1! Ain't Got Weary Yet,” (hoping
they won't.) and few of the sere-
nades we've been learning at the sing;
and be sure to pack them full of all
the ginger, grit and “pep” you hear
about on Tuesday night.

When all is over, and they return,
and listen open-mouthed to the
account of all the teas, meetings and

2

we

speeches they have made to all the,

other delegates—when we're just all
swollen with pride—tet’s leave a little
room in our hears for a renewed love
for our Alma Mater.
AESTHETIC DANCING
CLASSES BEGIN.

Prepare for the May Day Festival.

Dancing classes have begun and you
should see the enthusiasm. Every
Tuesday and Thursday evening at
eight o’clock the beginners class
meets. There are about thirty girls in
this one and they are positively bub-
bling over with pep. Some say it is
because they get in two hours of ex.
ercise this way, others that it is be-
cause they realize that they are becom-
ing graceful.

But the real reason that they are so
thrilled with dancing class is that they
have such a good time there. And
maybe, too, they are thinking about
May Day. It really isn’t so very far
off when you begin to think about it.
And you know what having gone to
dancing classes will mean in May Day
try-outs.

Then, besides the beginners’ class
is the advanced class which meets
every Tuesday evening at nine o’clock,
It is much smaller but just as lively
and maybe the girls in it are a little

Spanish Club to Meet Every Two
Weeks at Agnes Scott.

On last Thursday evening, the At-
lanta Spanish Club held a most imter-

esting meeting out at Agnes Scott.

All the Spanish students assembled
in the chapel to hear talks made by
receiv-

distinguished Spaniards, and

ed not only instruction on the sub-

i
") ects that the gentiemen had chosen

for their addresses, but enjoyed hear-
ing a most beautiful accent.
The first speaker was Professor

Henares, a member of the National

Academy of Arts and Letters, and

for twenty years professor of Chem-
istry in the University of Havana.
The Professor is on a year’s leave of
absence, and is soon to leave for Bu-

“Uses of Spanish,”

and put before the girls in a most
forceful manner, the many different
|; Ways that they could make use of

their Spanish after they have finished
school. Professor Henares read sev-
eral poems of the Spanish poet, Bec-
quer, that showed to advantage the
wonderful musical quality of the
Spanish language. We were very for-
tunate to haye this gentleman -with
us, and we hope that he will soon
pay Atlanta another visit.

The next speaker was Professor
Catalle, also of the University of
Havana. Professor Catelle spoke on
the “Commercial and Political Rela-
tions of the United States with the
Southern Cotntries,” and he said he
was delighted to see the enthusiasm
for the study of Spanish that he found
in the American colleges. When one
eountry understands the language of
janother, it draws them to-
| gether, giving mutual interests, and
establishing the means of stronger
friendships.

Agnes Scott is greatly indebted to
| these gentlemen for their excellent
talks. They introduced the regular
meetings of the Spanish Club, which
‘from now on are to meet every
Thursday evening at eight o’clock.
These meetings will be held alter-
nately in Atlanta and at Agnes Scott,
thus giving to the students of that
‘language an unusual advantage in
hearing native speakers. The meet-
lings in Atlanta are to be held in Pro-
fessor Campoamor’s office in the
Grand Building.

showed by their applause that they

with an outburst of applause. Miss

FRENCH CLUB HAS.

E. CARPENTER ELECTED
PRESIDENT. |

“Parlez.vous francais?”

Well, whether you are just learning
/or can “parlez’* already, you are having
a fine opportunity to learn more, and
(incidentally) “show off’ what you do
know, now that the Agnes Scott
French club has been organized.

The first meeting was held on Fri-
day evening, October 22, in the Propy-
lean Hall after prayers. This meeting
had a large attendance, and after some
preliminary business, the officers for
the year were elected. They are:

President—B. Carpenter.

Vice.President—H. Hall.

Secretary—M. Stansfield.

Treasurer—E, Guille.

Under these able officers the club
can not but have a successful year.

The French club was started out
here, several years ago, but was later
discontinued because it was thought
that the girls had not enough time to
attend meetings here, and the meet-
ings of the Alliance Francaise in At-
lanta, too.

But now the A. S. C. French club is
going to be reyived and reorganized
and hold its meetings on the first
Friday and the third Friday of each
month.

The meetings held on the first Fri-
day in each month are to be more or
less formal, for at that meeting
Madame Slifer, or some other French
person will speak to the members on
interesting topies, or there will be
readings or songs in the French.

The second meeting of the club will
be of a less formal nature and will
inelads ihe singing of Frencir songs;
the presentation of little French plays,
or recitation, or conversation and dis-
cussions.

The idea of this club is to foster and
encourage interest in the French lan-
guage, people, and culture, etc., and to
offer, here at the college, a convenient
means of keeping up and adding to
this interest. Of course the Alliance
in Atlanta is fine, but lots of times it
is hard to get in town, and also, to
many of the girls whose knowledge
and understanding of the tongue is yet
somewhat limited, the Atlanta Alliance
could be of comparatively little benefit.

But everybody can come to the
French club out here—and, of course,
as many as want to are urged to attend
the Alliance in town—and can surely
themselves, and—but just ask
any that attended the French
“sings” last and she will tell
you that besides learning a lot of
really interesting things, that every
one had just heaps of fun!

FIRST MEETING, .

GRANDMOTHERS
_GIVE PARTY. FOR
~ GRANDCHILDREN

GAMES AND STORIES PRO-
VIDE ENTERTAINMENT.

“For we have jolly good grandmas,
For we have jolly good grandmas,
For we have jolly good grandmas,

Which nobody can deny.”

So thought all the new students,
who comprise the grandchildren of this
community, after the ‘‘grandmothers’
party,” given on Saturday night.

It is surprising to see how young
college girls can be suddenly trans-
formed into charming old ladies. A
good many shawls, trailing skirts, and
powdered hair, combined with a good
deal of ingenuity did the trick.

This group of attractive old ladies
entertained their kiddish grandchil-
dren in a way which showed that they
were only grown-up children them-
selves. The kiddies, gay in curls, and
very much beribboned, had the time
of their young lives playing “Cha-
rades,” “Drop the handkerchief,” and
all those good old-time games.

After a good deal of this strenuous
exercise, they were quite ready to sit
down and actually keep still for a little
while.

All grouped themselves around the
huge open fireplace at one end of the
room, while several of the grandmas
moved them to laughter or to tears by
their story-telling. Unele Remus was
especially a favorite, and Grandma
Rushton thrilled the young hearts by
her stirring recital of “Brer Rabbit's”
narrow escapes, and “Brer Fox's” sly-
ness, e

When the children began to grow
fidgety, their minds were quickly di-
verted by refreshments of lemonade,
eookies, and peppermints. “Such sen-
sible refreshments,” confided one old
lady to another, “they could not possi-
bly hurt the little dears,” peering
wisely over her “specs” and nodding
her head so vehemently that her little
gray curls nearly fell off.

The party broke up at a reasonably
early hour, for “the litthe ones must
not stay up too late,” and the air was
rent with many shrill ‘Dood-night,
Dranmas,” as the children trotted glee-
fully home, thinking of what a grand
time their dear grandmothers had
given them.

CAMA BURGESS, NEW PRESI-
DENT DEBATING COUNCIL.

Council Planning Big Things This
Year.

At a meeting held this week, Cama

Burgess, President of the Mnemosy-
nean Debating Society, was elected

President of the Debating Council also.
The election was made necessary at
this time on account of the resignation
of Laura Oliver, who was forced to
resign on account of having her max-
imum number of points.

Eleanor Carpenter was appointed by
the President of the Propylean Society
to take Laura Oliver’s place as a mem-
ber of the Debating Council from the
Propylean Society.

The members of the Debating Coun
cilare: From the Propylean Society—
Margaret Bell, Eleanor Carpenter and
Jeanette Archer; from the Mnemosy-

neans—Cama Burgess, Anna Marie
Landress and Aimee D. Glover; from
the faculty—Dr, Armistead, Mr.

Stukes, Miss Hearon, and Miss MeKin-
ney.

The Debating Council is making
plans for a triangular debate with

Sophie Newcomb and Randolph-Macon
Colleges to be held in the spring. We
hope their plans will materialize, for
we are anxious to cross swords with
our old opponent Newcomb once more.

The subject for Inter-Society Debate
to be held before Christmas is, “Re-
solved, That the increase in exercise
of presidential leadership has been for
the promotion of the welfare of the
people.”

HOW TO DO OUTSIDE WORK AND NOT NEGLECT STUDIES.

Many of the students of Agnes Scott,
would find “peaceful seclusion and scholarly quiet,”

who came here with the idea that

they are surprised to

learn that studying with many of the girls is swallowed up in the various |

The average American col-
musical, religious, journal-

other activities that constitute “College Lite.”
lege is so full of outside activities—-social, athletic,

istic, dramatic, that it is hard to find time for the duller pursuits, such as |

Latin and Algebra.

College activities and outside interests are certainly important, but it is
for study primarily that the college was founded, and if we neglect our
scheol work, we are not taking advantage of opportunities which will prove
of great worth to us later on. Dr, Henry Lewis Smith, President of Wash-
ington and Lee University, has offered several suggestions, which if followed
out should certainly help the students to enjoy outside interests that the
college affords, and yet not neglect class-room work. These suggestions
are:

(1) Systematize your daily program of work and play.

If each girl would utilize the odd half hotirs that she wastes waiting
for the maid, or talking in the halls, she would haye an extra hour each
day for outside activities or recreation, Have a fixed schedule for each day,
and sufficient willpower to follow it out. Some girls make schedules and
never pay any more attention to them. That is simply a waste of time.
Have the willpower to carry out your schedule to the letter. Organize, sys-
tematize and speed up your daily work, and see if you don’t have more leis-
ure and better work.

(2) Limit your outside activities, and he wise enough
enongh to cut out purposeless loafing and useless recreations.

Such indoor recreations as eards, picture shows, drug stores, novel read-
ing and theatre going. should be for the most part eliminated, and in their
ylace we should play tennis. hockey, hike, and take exhilerating walks
through the woods. Most of the girls, when they have an extra hour or so,
think of no other amusement than a game of bridge or the picture show.
‘These recreations, while all right in their place. are not the best for the
students. who spend most of their day in the library and class-rooms.

Then don't join too many organizations and undertake so much outside
work that you can give to none of it the intensive study and work which it
may require. Investigate the merits of organizations and work only for
Ser which you are most interested In and which will give you the most
benefit,

(3) Learn to study always. with white-hot concentration.

In order to keep in touch with Y. W.
everywhere, give something, together
with a number of other colleges, to-
ward the support of Miss Topping in
Japan. Besides that, our Association

has always given $500 to the support
of an individual missionary. Last
spring our missionary died, and so at
present we simply pay this money to
the church committee; but before long
we will be given another worker in
whom we can feel a personal interest.

Nacoochee, North Georgia’s moun-
tain school, is always appreciative of
any help we can send there. The
work there especially deserves our
sympathy, because the-students are of
good Anglo-Saxon stock and capable
of great development. This year we
have a tie between Agnes Scott and
Nacoochee more strong than any we
have had before, because Margaret
Winslett, one of last year’s Seniors, is
there now. She will pay us a visit
soon to present her cause in person.

Dr. Knight was a help and an in-
spiration to many girls last year. It
was the Y. W, that brought him here,
and every year it plans to have some
one to talk on Christian Fundamentals,
These circle talks are the most prac-
tical kind of help to those who find
problems in the Christian life.

Of a more material nature is the
loan fund—a no less worthy cause.
It enables some who are energetic and
willing to work to be among us and
work with us.

Usually every girl wants to give as
much as fifty cents a month, some a
dollar or a dollar and a half. The
entire amount of the Y. W. C. A,
budget is $1,500.00, so be prepared to
give what you can. And if you would
like to know more about these places
which need your money, come to Y. W.
imeeting next Sunday evening.

girls, who were trying to be sports,
got up a bet when they first came back
to school, in September. The bet was
this:
fore the end of October at least ten
alumnae would have been back to
Agnes Scott to visit. Alas! One poor
girl is one five-pound box of candy to

the good, and indirectly a ruined com- |

Katherine Seay (K. C.) is trom

Nashville, Tenn. She graduated in
1918, and has been back to visit us off
and on ever since. However, this is
her first visit this session—but we
hope not the last. Dorothy Tighpen
(“Big Country”) is from Montgomery,
Ala. She also graduated in 1918, and
has been a frequent visitor, but from
all reports we fear that this is a “fare-
well”
For “Big Country” is in the verge of
taking a new degree—(M.R.S.), and
her future home will be in Milwaukee,
Wis.

Margaret Bland came out from
North Avenue High School to spend
the last week-end. We certainly feel
glad that she thinks about us lots of
week-ends, and hope she will continue
her “pop calls.”

HAVE YOU SIGNED A CARD
YET?

During the past week the member-
ship committee of the Y. W. C. A. has
tried to have everybody in school sign
a membership card. But they do not
want becoming a member of the Y. W.
to mean signing a card and no more.
They want it to mean thoughtfully
taking a new pledge of Christian alle-
giance. Bach girl ought to read over
the purpose of the Association often.
As printed on the card it is this:

The Young Women’s Christian Asso-
ciation of Agnes Scott College, affirm-
ing the Christian faith in God the
Father, and in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, our Lord and Savior, and in the
Holy Spirit, the Revealer of truth and
souree of power for life and service,
according to the teaching of Holy
Scripture and the Witness of the
Church, declares its purpose to be:

1. To léad students to faith in God
through Jesus Christ,

2. To lead them’ into membership
and service in the Christian Church.

3. To promote growth in Christian
faith and character, especially through
study of the Bible.

4, To influence them to devote
themselves in united effort with all
Christians, to making the will of
Christ effective in human society, and
to extending the Kingdom of God
throughout the world.

The beautiful service held Sunday
night in recognition of the new mem- —
bers will help us all to remember the
obligations which rest upon us.

The Tech Glee Club is becoming re-
organized, try-outs are being held for
new members, and many new songs
are promised for this year. The first
shows will be given at Agnes Scott
and Cox CoHege.—Technique.

My Dearest Aggie:

Why don’t you write to me once in
a while? My poor old mail-box is get-
ting to look very dilapidated with its
layer—two inches thick, at least—of
dust and all the cobwebs on the door.
1 guess I’ll have to begin writing let-
ters to myself. Well, one thing cer-
tain, if I ever do come to that, I'l
make ’em “sweet and sugary” like—
oh! some girl's. You know, it seems
like every letter you notice (accident-
ally, of course)—in the mail-room
starts “My own dearest sweetheart,”
or “My onliest Baby,” or something
equally “squshy.” Tell me the truth,
Aggie, have you ever gotten a letter
that began that way? I had one once
that said, “My Honey-Blossom.”
Wasn't that original?

Well, sir, you wouldn’t have known
this campus last week-end; there
wasn’t a soul here! Y’see most every-
one who lives anywhere near Atlanta
went home for the week-end and those
who didn’t get the chance to go,
“Joaned” all their ‘best clothes to the
“lucky dogs” who did. Gee. they must
have had great times. But you know
} feel sorry for the poor old “steadies”
at Auburn and Tech and everywhere,
beeause they get “set aside’’ about
once a week while their “lady love”
falls for another. Just think how
“Adam” must be grieving, since
“Clarence of Jasper” has cut him out!
If 1 were Adam I would get real des-
perate and drown my sorrows in—in —
well, I'd drown ‘em in something, any-
way.

And frat pins! My dear, some peo-
ple wear two and three—well, maybe
not three; but two, anyway. And Lois

GOSSIP

Moriarity is very proud of her new
S. A. E. pin. But I don’t blame her—
I'd be proud of a pin from the Fair,
labeled, “Oh You Kid.” or anything,

if it was given me by a man!!! Lois
must be a lucky name, for another girl
named Lois was getting a new white
sweater the other day and she said,
“I'm getting a white slip-over sweater |
‘cause a friend of mine is sending me |
his big blue one.” Did you ever ee)
of such luck in all your young life?

Haye you seen the good looking yel-
low racer that’s been hanging around
here a good deal lately? J thought
maybe you saw it when you were here
over the week-end. Well, my dear.
they say that Walker got it that color
to mateh the “corn-colored silkiness”
of Virginia's hair. If anyone ever tried
to get a car to match my eyes, (he
couldn’t match the color of my hair),
it would have to be the color of ripe
mustard-greens and that’s not a bit
romantic, is it?

You know these are a popular class
of littl Freshmen we have here.
You've heard of Augusta Cannon,
suppose, but I'll bet you haven’t even
begun to hear about all the letters she
gets from him—yes, six or seven in
two or three days! Why, I'd be too}
excited to live if I got that much mail.

And now, Aggie, I’m going to tell
you the biggest secret about me—I’m
in love! Oh! but don’t get excited
‘cause he isn’t. Of course, I wish he
were—but I don’t spec’ so much happi-
ness would ever come to any one per-
son all at once. And he’s a blond, too, |
and you know I always did say I liked |

blonds. Send me your advice on the |

subject. Excitedly yours,

DANCING CONTEST NOVEL BACON-BATS FASHIONABLE |

FEATURE OF JUNIOR
PARTY.

Keesler and Malloy Best Dancers.

The Gym proved to be the most)
popular place on the campus on Satur-
day night and everybody flocked to the
party given by the Juniors.

As the guests arrived they were
greeted at the door with programs for
an “A B C Romance.” This thrilling
drama consisting of three acts, lived
up to its title and held the audience
with bated breath during the entire
procedure. In the first act love mak-
ing was conclusively proved to be a
simpler matter than it is generally
thought. An elopement was daringly
carried out in the second, and the third
aet featured an ideal reconciliation.

Equally entertaining was the feature
dance in which Ruth Keesler and
Carolyn Moore starred as youthful
maid and lover.

Then came one of the most attrac-
tive features of the evening, Names
were discarded for numbers and a
dancing contest was held. After each
dance came the verdict of the judges
calling some of the couples back on
the floor, and much enthusiastic com-
petition followed, But one by one they
all dropped out until finally there was |
only one couple remaining. Charlotte
Keesler and Elizabeth Malloy suc-
ceeded in being the last on the floor
and were awarded boxes of candy as
prizes.

Last on the program for the evening,
but by no means least in importance,
were the ice cream cones to which
due attention was given.

The party was a lovely one from)
beginning to end and the Juniors made:
the most hospitable hostesses. The
color scheme of red and white was
effectively carried out in crepe paper
and the gym gaily attired in autumn
leaves and flowers made a most de-
lightful place for entertainment. A
eeneral good time was reported by
everyone as they departed with the
fervent hope that another just such
<cod time would not be long in forth-

coming.

Then, one day of the following week,
when the red-gold leaves came swirl-
ing down in great hoards, the spirited
auctioneer of crisp October weather
called forth again and this time the
prize went to a bunch of students.
Late afternoon found them gathered
around a big bon-fire, jealous of every
wind-snatched aroma of sizzling bacon
and toasted marshmallows. Twilight
came on; and with the ever deeping
dusk the fire sputtered and crackled
more loudly and shot up bright sparks
to illumine the shadows. After a
while, college songs found .their way
into the scheme of things, and over
the hills and far away floated the
spirited favorite at Agnes Scott, “I’m
a Hottentot.” Then, some wise virgin,
poking around in the ashes with a hat-
pin, rescued the last bit of crisp-burnt
bacon and joyously proposed fifteen
rahs for ‘“Bacon-bats.”

For bacon and red, juicy apples and
sugar and spice and everything nice,
that’s what Bacon-bats are made of.

ARE YOU COPYING ANOTHER
GIRL?
———— !

Charm Lies in Individuality.

Perhaps only mothers can realize
fully the extent of the suffering caus-
ed by that childish game, “Follow the
Leader.” It has been their custom
for centuries to bind up the cracked
skulls and skinned knees and to kiss
away the tears of those little devotees
of “sport.”

It is human nature to do as the
mass of people does, and nowhere
else has this been more plainly
shown than in girls’ schools. Miss
Alcott gives an illustration of this in
her charming story, ‘Little Women.”

Everybody in school was eating pick-
led limes and Amy, following the cur-
rent, found herself in deep distress.
On our own campus this character-
istic has been shown effectively. At
the first meeting of our chemistry
class, there was a girl with her hair
bobbed. A few days later the
maidens, “all shaven and shorn,” were
six or more. This incident is not
very important, in itself, but it is a
good illustration of that particular
weakness, which human nature is
heir to, This inclination effectually
“downs” the spirit of individuality,
which makes a real woman and a
| charming one, a woman who is not
|merely a pattern of other women, but

man’s point of view). In the Council
every nation represented, large or
small, has a single vote and a single
delegate. Great Britain, with all her
colonies and about one-quarter of the
world’s population, has just one ballot.
7. Is the United States out-voted?

| No, the United States wih its one
vote has power to veto any important
proposal of which it does not approve,
in the Assembly or in the
Council. :

8. How does the League settle dis-
putes?

All nations in the League agree to
submit to arbitration disputes threat-
ening war. Six months are given to
investigate and report. Not until three
months later (giving time for thought
and cooling off!) may a member actu-
ally go to war, and not then, if one
nation in the quarrel accepts the rec-
ommendations made. In case of dis-

putes with non-members, or between
non-members, the outsider is first in-
vited to come into the League. Legal
tangles (such as the meaning of a
treaty, etc.) are settled by a Perma-
nent Court of International Justice.
In spite of Republican opposition to
the League, the noted Republican
jurist Elihu Root, has been abroad for
the task of establishing this Court
under instructions from the League
Council.

9. But what if a nation goes to war?

Then the nations in the League
agree to cut off the offender entirely
from all trade and intercourse. The
Council may “advise” then (only that)
|to contribute a small share of armed
| force, subject, however, to the appro-
| val of their own governments.

10. What is Article X?

This Article states that members of
the League guarantee to respect one
another’s territory and protect it from
external attack (the same principle as
our own Monroe Doctrine which has

either

made for peace on this continent for |

nearly a hundred years). It means
that if our country is in peril she may
call upon other nations in the League
for aid. Article X does not apply to
| domestic troubles, such as revolution
or civil war, unless the peace of the
| world is thereby disturbed.

11. Can the United States declare
war without consent of Congress?

No, Congress by our Constitution is
the only power in this country having
authority to declare war. But first,
within the League itself, the United
States by its right of veto may refuse

JOKE HEARD IN SPOKEN ENGLISH.

Once there was a poor girl who lived
way up in the mountains. Every day
she had to go down to a little stream
and do the family washing. On one
of these occasions as she knelt on the
bank washing some white silk stock-
ings with black clocks, she looked up
and saw a huge bear standing on the
opposite side. Suddenly he cocked
his head on one side and exclaimed,
“What, no soap?”

Now I lay me down to rest,

Before I take this Latin test;

Thank Heaven I've no test to take!

DOWMENT CAMPAIGN |

General Education Board Has Of-
fered Additional Hundred
Pee, If We Raise
Additional Fifty
Thousand,

“Agnes” Seott, you're all right, you're
E all right, you're all right.

Agne 5 Scott, ee: re all right, you bet
“you are.’

_ ¥ou bet Agnes Scott is all right,
and you bet she'll go over the top in
_ this campaign just as she's always
done in everything. All the old girls
will remember what an exciting
time we had just a little over a year
ago, when it was announced that we,
the: faculty and students of Agnes
~ Scott, had contributed more than
. $20,000, all by ourselves, the first
f money “that was pledged for the En-

-dowment Fund. Then you will re-

member how glad we were to hear on

_ commencement day: ‘that $525, 006 had
- been pledged toward our goal’ of $600,-
7 900. Now something even. better
than ‘that has” happened. “s

‘ The General Education Board, who
“offered in the first. place to give us
$175, 00 if we would raise the re-
mainder ofthe $600, 000, has made us
another and even more flattering of-

fer. Being ‘very much interested in
— work and aims here, they have

de inquiries: about us, and ‘haye
Pcome: fo the conclusion — that even
though we are succeeding in getting
the, amount we had set out to raise,
it —wonld not. be enough to enable us
; to earry out all the plans which we,
in the confidence of our success, have
been making so, to enable us not to
be hindered in anything we might
want to do, they have very gener-
ously offered to give us an additional
$100,000 if we, in our turn, would raise
an additional $50,000, making a new
goal of $750,000.

Think what that would mean to
Agnes Scott. It would more than
double her capacity to serve the girls
who will come after us, for Agnes

Scott today, campus, buildings, and
dormitories included, is worth only
$675,000. We would have money for

new dormitories and new buildings
for class rooms, all of which we could
fill today if we had them. The girls
that were turned away this year be-
cause of lack of capacity were more
than enough to fill another large dor-
mitory. Won't it be splendid when
we can take in every girl that ap-
plies, not having to turn down one
single person because of lack of
room? And that time is surely com-
ing, and not far off, too, for we know
that we are going to win out, that we
couldn’t possibly fail with such a

committee at work, and with Dr. Mc-|

Cain at the head.
During the last few months pledges

have come in more and more slowly,
due to the conditions of business ev-
erywhere, but up to date $685,000 is
sure, and surely enough people can
be found to give us the last $65,000,
which will put us over the top. The
“committee has decided that the cam-
paign cannot possibly be prolonged
beyond Christmas, but that leaves
two months, and wonders can be ac-
complished in two months. We know |
wonders will be accomplished, and
that Agnes Scott will surely come

out on top.

Much interest and enthusiasm was

debates staged by the Mnemosynean
and Propylean Literary Societies in|
their respective halls. The subject |
for both debates was the same—Re-

The assembled members of the

|by the spirited discussion which en-
sued between Ellen Wilson and Lil-
lian McAlpine, who represented the af-
firmative side, and Ivylyn Girardeau,
and Victoria Howie, the advocates of
| the negative side of the issue. Here
again Agnes Scotters had the chance
| of hearing new debaters side by side
with girls of more experience. Here
|again fresh laurels were added to a
store of past merits; and much prom-
ise was found in new talent. The
judges decided in favor of the nega-
tive, although both sides did excellent
work.

Especial interest centered about
these two debates; for the experience
gained in their preparation will be of
yalue to the girls who are going to
represent Agnes Scott in the Inter-
collegiate debate next spring. The
| debates Saturday night were prelim-
inary to the inter-society debates
which begin December the third. The
signal for sincere, heartfelt interest
and real, sure enough hard work has
already been given; and the Debat-
ing Council and the Literary Socie-
ties, which are the leaders in our con-
test against Newcomb need the back-
ing of the entire student body, The
|debates so far seem to predict a
lively enthusiasm over this form of
college activities. This first bit of

INMAN HALL INHABITED BY
GHOSTS AND GOBLINS.

Fortunes Told, and Future Life
Revealed.

The night of October thirtieth, nine-
teen-twenty,
ter night for Agnes Scott girls, for it
was on that time that the Seniors
gave to the College Community a
Hallowe’en party.

When an invitation was given tu us
to join the Seniors in a visit to the
witches and ghosts again we had in-
numerable pictures of spooky things.
Nor were we disappointed, for on
looking out of the window that night
to see if there were moon and stars
what should we see flitting around
the campus but some _ snow-white
creatures uttering moanful shrieks
and groans. As we started our up-
ward climb to fourth floor Inman and
leoked around to see if any of the
spirits were following us we were re-
minded of our surroundings by the
touch of icy hands of ghosts who
greeted us. Breathlessly we entered
a room, dimly-lighted and resembling
an enchanted forest, so naturally were
the pine straw and autumn leaves ar-
ranged, and were given, by an un-
earthly enormous ghost, a _ little
broom as a souvenir.

After being admitted to this land
of horrors we were anxious to become

acquainted with the habits and occu-|

pations of these strange inhabitants.
We were not kept in suspense long,
for we found ourselves before a
witch's cauldron brewed by Witch
McLaughlin, with Witch
Janef Preston and Witch Eleanor
Carpenter. We were here given seem-
ingly blank slips of paper which we
were to guard with our lives. We
held these over the light and behold!
our future was before us, We ac-
cepted this as one of the happenings
of Witchdom and traveled on.

Were our eves deceiving us, were
we really seeing things, or were we
dreaming? Over in a grave yard we
saw some peculiarly shaped black
creatures dancing. On coming nearer
we saw that these creatures were
bats which caused chills to run up
and down our spines. Before we had
fully overcome the funny sensation
that the bats gave us we received an-

AGNES SCOTT ELECTS
COX BY OVERWHELM-
ING MAJORITY

MOCK ELECTION HELD TUES-
DAY NIGHT.

Returns From Real Election

Phoned to A, 8. C.

With wild enthusiasm and patriotic
interest, Agnes Scott held a mock
election this week and yoted on the
nominees for the presidency, electing
Cox by an overwhelming majority.
For several days the campus was a
scene of general excitement which
increased steadily until the climax
was reached, following the casting of
the final ballots, when the returns
began to come in.

On Friday afternoon between the
hours of one and six o’clock the hall
of Main Building. was crowded, for
every loyal citizen over sixteen years
of age was called upon to register at
the registration booth. From every
cornér of the campus they flocked to
pledge their loyalty and support to
the government and- thereby receive
the right to cast their ballots in the.
coming election.

Following the registration on Fri-
day afternoon, came the first elec-
tions, when the wings of each dormi-
tory, representing state precincts,
met to elect their: »representatives to
the state convention. After some-
what prolongéd preliminaries two
representatives were chosen from
each precinct to represent the peo-
ple on Monday night‘at the state con-
vention.

ors were elected from the representa-
Also
was growing shorter until
the last final election was to come
off and decide who should preside
over our destiny for the next four
years. Who this would be was a
question of acute interest and impor-
tance.

This all-important question was to
be decided after the voters cast their
ballot on the electors Tuesday night
and the last thing in their power done
to elect the man they considered best.
Feeling was tense when returns were
announced and cheers greeted the
name of their favorite candidate.
Cox received an overwhelming ma-
jority, although Harding’s supporters
were enthusiastically boosting their
candidate.

Not less exciting, but indeed hardly
more exciting than mock elections,
were the genuine election returns
that were posted from time to time
on the election bulletin board that
kept the “voters” informed as to the

| progress of real elections all over the

United States. Each bit of informa-
tion brought its quota of cheers on
one side and groans on the other.
The mock election not only was a
lot of fun for everybody, and very ex-
citing, but also showed our’ girls—the

|future voters—how to cast their bal-
}lots in the correct way.

The election
also made the girls more interested
in the affairs of the government, and
taught them many things about our
candidates that they would not have
learned otherwise,

DID YOU MISS THIS?
The first open meeting of the Stu-

dent Volunteer Association held at

C.A.

Agnes Scott this year was a gratify-
ing success. About forty interested
girls were present. Margaret Mc-
Laughlin sang “I'll Go Where You
Want Me to Go,” and Ruth Hall and
Josephine Logan gave talks on what
the volunteers are.

Many girls do not realize the scope
of the help to be gained from these
meetings. Student volunteers are as-
sociated with the foreign field, but
they are interested in affairs at home,
too, and are serving the same Mas-
ter as those who expect to take up
social service work or Y. W. work.

Our own Alma Mater has not as
many volunteers in proportion to her

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

HAVE YOU BEEN HOMESICK? HERE’S A SURE CURE.

“A stitch in time saves nine,” we've all heard quoted dozens of times.
So girls, save eight stitches, and don’t cultivate homesickness. Of course
every girl will immediately say “We don’t cultivate homesickness and
lonesomeness. It is thrust upon us,” but to a large extent this is not true.
The surest cure for homesickness is to learn how to enjoy one’s own com-
pany, and we can save more tears and worry than we realize by just learn-
ing to love to be alone during a part of every day.

Haven’t you heard girls say “I don’t want to go by myself anywhere.
I get so lonesome?” That's a terrible slam against one’s self. We are all
wonderful beings, and we certainly ought to have enough in ourselves to
keep us from ever getting lonely. Why not try to find out whether we}
can’t say with the poet “My mind to me a kingdom is,” and get real pleas-
ure out of being alone.

Girls, try being by yourself a part of every day, and see if you don’t
find that you’re just as nice company for yourself as your room-mate or
your neighbor may be. Friends are fine, but it is well to learn to love the
companionship of your own self; from whom you may never be separated,
and whom you can fall back on when lonesomeness and homesickness
pursue you,

DON’T WORRY ABOUT LESSONS DURING DINNER.

Girls, -we are in college primarily to study and learn. Agnes Scott is a
place whose object is to make its students finer and better, with broader
views and higher ideals. The education we obtain here is not entirely~
from our books, but from our environment and our associations, We must
even learn how to forget our books and lessons, when they have become
irksome to us and out of place in our conversation.

Three times a day, during meals, tests, lessons and examinations are
out of place in our conversation. We aren’t supposed to think of lessons
continually, and we can study better if we have these three recesses for
pleasant conversation. How often have you been irritated by hearing the
girl next to you talk during the whole meal of three tests that she has
next day, or of how hard one has to work at Agnes Scott? Let’s try to re-
member that when we complain at the table of all the work that we have
before us, we are boring people just as we have ourselves been bored.

Girls, don’t worry during meals about school work, and don't let any-
thing interfere with your enjoyment during the three meal periods. If
we'll laugh and think of pleasant things, we'll have better digestions,
keener minds, and happier dispositions.

This room is to be furnished with
a library table, a reading lamp, and

But the executive committee will
not be the only ones who will have
the privilege of using this room. It
will belong to the whole student
bedy, so when it is not occupied by
the executive committee, some of the
literary societies and clubs will be
privileged to meet there. And, too,
it will provide a place in which the
Senior class can meet after lights
without disturbing anyone. Another
of the main reasons for furnishing
this room is that we must have some
definite place in which the conven-
tion of the Student Government Asso-
ciation can be held next spring,

This room will be an attractive as
well as useful addition to Agnes
Scott and it is the endeavor of those
who are at the head of it to make it
a place that we shall be glad to call
our own. The executive committee
deserves a pleasant and convenient
place in which to hold their meetings.

GIDDIE GOSSIP

Dearest Aggie,

” Bveryone is so busy these days
with tests and notes, and the whole
college community is so steeped in
politics that they haven’t had time to
do things and really I’ve no news at
all. But Aggie, dear, I’m going to
send you a copy of my latest poetical
effort entitled, “Romance; Past and
Present.”

“Off at school a young girl’s fancy,
Lightly turns to thoughts of love;
And memories of past romances
Blot, out present ones—by Jove!
Dick and Harry, Tom and Bill
Couldn't compare with Fred and Phil.
What taste in neckties Henry had,
He always followed the latest fad!
Those dreamy eyes and _ thrilling
speeches,
Which Bobby made upon the beaches!
Speaking of freckles and ruddy locks,
Jimmy’s could be seen for blocks.
Oh! wasn’t Joe the cutest thing,
* And didn’t he have a gorgeous ring?

But past affairs are not substantial,
And bye-gone beaus are not financial,
So Miss College Maid throws out her
net,
To see what victims she can get.
She goes to town, and on the street,
Who da’ you think that she does meet?
A boy from home, who goes to Tech,
She’s so excited, she’s just a ‘wreck!’

In three minutes’ time he’s made a

She keeps them waiting,

The youth is witty, the girl is coy,

And he’s brought along a darling

boy!

To a football game, the two—now
foes,

O’er who will take her, almost come
to blows.

Then candy and flowers and telephone
calls—

She finds her name posted all over
the walls!

Her popularity’s complete, a frat pin
she wears,

And yet no one knows whether or not
she ‘cares.’

So now no more of Dick she thinks,

Of Harry she’s as quiet as a Sphinx,

Tom and Bill aren’t in the race,

Since Ralph and Tom have shown
their face.”

Now Aggie, aren’t you proud of
me? Just think some day when my
immortal verse has put Shakespeare’s
in the shade, you can say, “she used
to be my best friend!” I’m quite ex-
cited. But genius burns—adieu,
adieu. Giddie Gossip.

AT AGNES SCOTT.

Will Give Handel’s ‘‘Messiah’’
For Christmas Music.

As we count the days until Christ.
mas, and think of the coming yule-.
tide season, memories of beautiful
Christmas music come to our mind.
Agnes Scott has always had beautiful

music at Christmas, but this year we
are expecting something exceptional.

A Choral Society has been formed
which will give Handel’s “Messiah,”
the most famous and best-loved of all
the oratorios, on the last Saturday
night before Christmas,

Six choruses

will be sung and all the solo arias.
The tenor and bass parts for the
chorus are to be supplied by men
from Emory University and Decatur.
Advanced students of the vocal de-
partment and the best male voices of
Atlanta will render the solo arias.
The entire chorus will consist of
about fifty singers.

Mr. Johnson says that this is to
be the biggest musical event in the
history of Agnes Scott. Beside the
“Messiah” two other choruses will
be given during the year.

The Glee Club under the direction
of Mr. Johnson is bigger and better
than ever before. A double quartet
from the club sang at a Masonic
banquet at the Daffodil last Wednes-
day.

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS.

‘State Convention to Be Held at

Bessie Tift.
“What is a Student Volunteer?

What are they supposed to do?”

Just stop and count how
times you’ve heard these questions
asked. The Student Volunteer Band
at Agnes Scott is a most attractive

who have
pledged their lives to go over the seas
and be missionaries to the heathen
peoples.

This Student Volunteer movement
has taken a firm hold all over the
country. All colleges are intensely
interested and all are responding
promptly. There is to be a state con-
vention which will be held at Bessie
Tift College at Forsyth, Ga. Each
school that is allowed to send dele-
gates to this convention is allowed a
specified number. Agnes Scott is to
be allowed from ten to fifteen dele-
gates. At the convention there are
to be several contests. The two
important are the contest of
pageants and the poster contest.
Since Agnes Scott comes out of every
contest wtih flying colors, we are
sure of her victory in this.

The Band on our campus is com-
posed of eight enthusiastic workers.
They are:

Edith Kern, leader.

Ruth Hall, secretary.

Eloise Knight.

Josephine Logan.

Mary Goodrich.

Frances Gardner.

Lillian McAlpine.

Anna Marie Landress.

For the oncoming year they are
planning to have an open meeting
once a month. The programs for the
meetings will be to study and dis-
cuss the foreign countries. At some
meetings there will be representa-
tives of the dress and customs of
foreign nations. Some times there
will be a foreign speaker who knows
and understands the conditions in
foreign fields.

The first open meeting was held
Sunday night, October 24. The pro-
gram was presented by different vol-
unteers.

The Sophomores and Juniors tied

Ruth Hall explained the plans of

the Band and gave a clearer idea of
|the requirements and joys of being a
| Volunteer. Josephine Logan gave a
most interesting talk on the diver-
{sions of a missionary. Since Jose-
|phine has first hand information, this
talk was enjoyed .by all.

Edith Kerns told of the opportuni-
ties of a college girl in the foreign
field. The program was completed
by a solo rendered by Margaret Me.
Laughlin.

Everyone who attended this meet-
ing thoroughly enjoyed it and it is
hoped that increased interest will be
manifested in the next meeting.

‘UNDERSTAND MEN?

If you try to please a man he decides
you are in love with him,

And if you don’t try to please him he
says you are disagreeable.

If you talk about yourself he is bored,

And if you talk about him he gets
nervous.

If you believe all he says he thinks
you are a simpleton,

And if you don’t he calls you a cynic.

If you are jealous of him he vows you
are narrow-minded,

And if you are not, he fumes because
you don’t like him enough to care.

If you have other sweethearts he ac-
cuses you of being a Theda Bara.

And if you let them all go but him he
loses interest immediately.

If you wear narrow skirts and rakish
hats he laughs at you,

And if you adopt dress reform, he
elopes with a chorus girl.

Say, do you think I’m the eighth won-
der of the world?

There was once a sea captain who
was dearly loved by his four mates.
The captain died, and the mates de-
cided that they would write an epi-
taph for his tomb, each man com-
posing one line,

The first mate wrote his line with
alacrity; the second thought some
time before composing his; the third
thought long and chewed his pencil
in great trouble before he could de-
cide, while it took the fourth several
hours to make up his mind. At last
it was finished, and the following epi-
taph was placed on the captain's
tomb:

“Here lies a captain of the sea
Here lies him, here lies he.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1920

No. 7

STUDENT GOVERN-
MENT DELEGATES
~ ATTEND CON!

VENTION

Agnes Scott Represented by Mc-
Laughlin and Buchanan.

Agnes Scott went down to the gate
in a body on Saturday to sing good-
bye to Margaret McLaughlin and
Nell Buchanan as they left for the
conference in Elmira, New York.

This national conference of east-
ern colleges is being held the 11th,
12th and 13th of November. Only
three Southern colleges are repre-
sented—Mississippi State and Ran-
dolph-Macon, besides Agnes Scott.
Different methods of student gov-|
ernment are discussed and new ideas
are circulated among the delegates.

Every year Agnes Scott gives the
President of Student Government
and a member elected from the Ju-
nior class a week’s leave of absence
to attend this conference. This year
our delegates stopped over a few
hours at Washington, Philadelphia
and New York City. At Washington}
they met the Student Government
representative of Southern colleges,
Miss Harrison. But best of all (don’t
you envy them?) they stopped over
at their homes for a week-end.

Nell and Margaret were given a
grand send-off, with lots of spirit,
good wishes, and pep, but we wel-
come them back even more eagerly.

FRESHMEN GIVE THANKS.
GIVING PARTY.

Puritans and Red Men Feature of
The Evening.

Something nice always happens at
Agnes Scott on Saturday night! Last
Saturday the Freshmen gave a party
and this was certainly one of the

- most delightful entertainments we
have had this year.

The invitations asked that all dress

college chapel

as Puritans, and when we entered
the “gym” we could almost believe
that it wasn’t 1920 at all, but 1621.

The “gym” was transformed into a
wild, rough, country in Massachu-
setts! Over in one corner was Ply-
mouth Rock and the first thing that
everybody did was to go and draw a
souvenir from it. They received all
kinds of turkeys as well as some tiny
Puritan girls.

In another corner stood an Indian
wigwam made of blankets. It was
quite picturesque. A big wood fire
could be seen in front, and the In-
‘dian chief was standing behind the
fire. He was tall and dignified and
had his arms folded across his breast.
His face was painted red and he
looked like a most daring warrior.

Seated on the ground and standing
around the camp fire were some other

“ebraves and squaws, Many of the
squaws carried papooses on their
wacks), who set up a howl now and
then. Puritans were also there to
join in the festivities of the Red men.

Ouilbne side of the wigwam could
‘be seen Priscilla and John Alden by
an old spinning wheel. They looked
quite picturesque and romantic,

The ceremonies began soon after
all the guests arrived. The Indian
chief puffed his peace pipe and then
handed it to John Smith. It was
passed around to every Puritan and
Indian and each one took a puff. The
Indians then volunteered to entertain
the pale faces with a war whoop
dance. Wild yells and whoops were
heard as the gayly dressed Red Men
danced around the wigwam. This
was something new to the Puritans
and they all looked on with wonder
and amazement.

After the dance was over they had
their first Thanksgiving feast. Maize
was served in the form of our mod-
ern pop corn. Apples and other
fruit were also passed around. The

MR. YAMAMOTO
SPEAKS ON JAPAN

The United States and Japan was
the subject of a lecture given Thurs-
day evening, November 11, in the
by “Minosaku Toshi
Yamamoto. Mr. Yamamoto, as a
representative of Japan, is eminently
fitted to discuss relations between the
two countries. It is especially note-
worthy that he has been very popular
for two seasons in Pacific Coast
Chautauquas, where it is extremely
difficult to present the Japanese ques-
tion.

He gave his views of the relation
between Japan and this country, and
Was most convincing in his analysis
of a situation which has caused inter-
national discussion for some years.

Of pleasing personality and win-
ning expression, Mr. Yamamoto used
faultless English. He held his audi-
ence from the start, injecting just
enough Japanese sense of humor into
the discourse to suit the occasion and
still not detract from the purpose of
convincing his hearers that there
should be a closer relationship and a
continuance of friendliness between
this country and his native land,
fourteen days distant across the Pa-
cific.

DEBATES WITH RANDOLPH.
MACON AND SOPHIE NEW-
COMB DEFINITELY AR-
RANGED.

Much Enthusiasm Manifested.

A lively interest still prevails in the

jing societies as to whether or not the

has been for the public welfare,

spite of the faet that this subject has.

been already thrashed out twice, and
begins to have a familiar ring, to put
it mildly. Familiarity has not, how-
ever, in this case, bred contempt to
judge by the large attendance on
Saturday nights.

This year the following plans have
been made for the inter-collegiate de-
bates. After the inter-society de-
bates are held the four best debaters
and two substitutes will debate with
New-
comb. The debates will all be held
on the same night. Agnes Scott's
negative will go to Randolph-Macon
and debate with its affirmative; Ran-
dolph-Macon's negative will debate
with Sophie Newcomb’s affirmative at
New Orleans, and Sophie Newcomb’s
negative will come te Agnes Scott
and debate our affirmative. Tele-
grams will inform everyone as to the
outcome of each debate. This is the
first time such a plan has been laid
out at Agnes Scott and the event is
looked forward to with much en-

thusiasm.
Whoever attends twelve society
meetings, or debates once and at-

tends six will have a distinguished
looking pin to display when she goes
home. It is hoped that this plan will
not only influence attendance, but
will also create greater general in-
terest in the two societies.

WHAT IS COLLEGE COUNCIL?

Among all the splendid branches
of Student Government, there is one

of which new students have not
heard much and that is College
Council.

This committee is the point of con-
tact between the Faculty and the
Student Body. It takes up and dis-
eusses all matters and difficulties
which arise in the college commun-
ity,

College Council, with Miss Hopkins
as chairman, is composed of three
Faculty members and six student
members, The Faculty members are
Miss Smith, Miss Alexander, and Dr.
Sweet. The Student members are the
president and the three vice-presi-
dents of Student Government, one
member elected from the resident stu-
dents and one from the day students.
The resident student elected last

spring to serve this year, is Char-
lotte Bell.

MADAM SLIFER LEC-
TURES AT AGNES”
SCOTT

Talks on ‘‘Les Salons de France.’’

At the second meeting of the Agnes
Scott French Club, held Friday
night, Madame Slifer gave a most
|interesting lecture on ‘Les Salons de

|France.” Every French student was
interested in a subject which has
played such an important role in
French history.

At first we were inclined to sit for-

| ward in our chairs and listen “with
all our might.” We soon realized,
however, that such a method was not
necessary because Madame Slifer
|spoke very slowly and distinctly.
|Her beautiful voice and wonderful
personality charmed ll present.
Even if we could not have understood
much French (which was emphatic-
ally not the case) we could have un-
derstood Madame Slifer’s expression,
her smiling eyes, and the movements
of her hands, which told us a great
| deal!
Madame Slifer speaks excellent
|French, and her accent is very fine.
How we envied the ease with which
she pronounced. her r’s and that dif-
ficult French u!

Madame Slifer’s talk was enjoyed
|for the interesting things she told us
,;and for the manner in which she
spoke. She gave us a splendid oppor-
‘tunity to improve our French and to
jtry to acquire that characteristic
| French accent. We were given an in-
| Spiration which will help us to cheer-
|fully prepare that prose lesson in the
future in order that some day we may
speak with ease and good French pro-
nunciation.

CITY’S YOUNG PEOPLE
MEET WITH STUDENT
VOLUNTEERS,

On Friday night, November 19, at
|8 P. M., in Wesley Memorial Church,
| Epworth Leagues, and Christian En-
deavor Societies of Atlanta, as well
as the students in all the colleges
around the city, are invited to meet
with the Student Volunteers in a big

|/inass meeting.

The Atlanta Student

Union is composed of those at Agnes
|Seott, Emory, Tech, and Oglethorpe,
who have volunteered for overseas
service in foreign mission fields. It
was founded 33 years ago, and in that
time has sent out over 8,000 mission-
| aries,
The magnitude of the movement is
|shown by the size of the convention
held in Des Moines last Christmas
week, where over 1,000 schools in the
United States and Canada were rep-
resented, making over 7,000 students
present from 40 different nations.

The program planned for this
meeting in town November 19 is of
universal appeal. Travelogue talks
on different kinds of mission work
will give glimpses of real lives that
have been remodeled by Christianity.
One of the speakers is to be Mr.
Chan of Emory, who is studying to
return as a teacher to his own peo-
ple in China. Especial interest at-
taches to the fact that Mr. E. O.
Phillips, who has promised to lead
the music, is going out to Japan in
January or February.

Many Atlanta people already know
Mr. J. Foster Barnes, of Emory, who
sings in the Ponce de Leon Baptist
Church. He has a wonderful voice,
and a still more wonderful personal-
ity. He has had offers: to go on the
stage, but he has a great purpose in
his life that makes him prefer to sing
and preach his way into the heart of
heathendom. .

Posters—twenty or thirty of then
—are being prepared for a gigantic
contest. All of these will be on dis-
play in Wesley Memorial Church
Friday night.

Spaces will be marked off and re-
served for all organizations, and the

tening to a celebrity. Of course it

hear one, and such interesting, worth-
while things as they
well it was just great!

Now of course the “old girl” was
raving a bit when she said all that,

had to say—

but really anybody'ud rave if they
had heard Tom Skeyhill or Hugh
Walpole.

But girls, listen! You're going to
have the wonderful opportunity of
hearing (and meeting maybe) some
celebrities this year, too! Who these
celebrities will be, and how this
grand opportunity came about is like
this—

Everybody knows that the A. §S. C.
faculty is just the grandest ever,
anywhere, and of course we rather
suspected it ourselves, but on Wed-
nesday morning we were newly im-
pressed when we were told about the
plan they have thought of to bring
to..Au S: Ce-someof the-foremest pce
ple in America.

One of the people whom we are
| hoping to hear is Mr. Wm. B. Dodd, a
|very popular “fac” of the University
{of Chicago. He is a North Carolinian,
/so he knows the South and interprets
\it with great accuracy and broadness
of vision. He has wide fame as a
historian and also as a lecturer. Be-
‘sides, Mr. Dodd has written for
World's Work and the Historical Re-
|view, and also several books, two of
which are “The Cotton Kingdom”
and “The Life of Woodrow Wilson.”

Another person whom we are look-
ing forward to having with us is Miss
Harriet Monroe, who also hails from
Chicago, which, by the way, has been
called “the literary capitol of Amer-
ica,’ and she is a poet. She has at-
tained marked achievement not only
in “regular” verse, but in “vers
libre” as well, and I ’spect she will
read some for us when she comes.
Miss Monroe is a ecritie of distine-
tion, and besides has been a main in-
fluence in introducing Tazore to
America.

A third celebrity that we are go-
ing to hear is a great artist. His
name is Mr. Lorado Taft, and besides
being an artist and sculptor he is a
lecturer of much note and has a most
charming personality. He, too, comes
from Chicago, and in fact has his
studio not far from the University.

So here, would-be historians, poets,
artists—here is your opportunity to
“get some points” on the art of be-
ing a celebrity—besides really deriv-
ing benefit of inestimable value from
just hearing what these folks have
to say (and think of the cuts and
extra hours of lights, too!)

But of course this question has its
financial side, and girls, let’s .give
them our support on this point, be-
sides, of course, our support in at-
tendance when they come, for to be
sure their fare and other sundry .ex-
penses must be paid, and if they are
good enough to eome all the way
down here to talk to us, let’s do our
level best to make it worth their
time and effort.

And finally, let’s give three cheers
for Miss Monroe, and Mr. Dodd, and
Mr. Taft—and three more for our
faculty who thought up, and are go-
ing to bring to pass this perfectly
grand plan!

COMING
TO AGNES SCOTT

HOASC GIRLS GIVE
ANNUAL STUNT
NIGHT

All Stunts Excellent.

The Hoase stunt presentation of
last Saturday night was most clever;
each of the organizations taking part
showed unusual originality in their
productions.

The whole represented a wheel
whose hub was Student Government;
the spokes: Y, W. C. A., Publications,
Athletics, B. O. Z., and Folio, Black-
friars, Debating Societies and Day
Students, respectively; the rim, Ag-
nes Scott. As each of the spokes
Was put in place, the activity repre-
sented by the spoke, gave its stunt.

That of Student Government was
the story of Red Riding Hood, acted
in a uniquely typical manner. Red
Riding Hood stood for government
by the students, while the wolf rep-
resented faculty rule. In the last
scene in which the wolf in the grand-
mother’s bed, was replying to the lit-
tle girl’s questions, he said that his
eyes were. big the better to spy, his
ears big, the better to eavesdrop and
hear all that was plotted. When the

woodsmen rushed upon the wolf,
they cried, “Down with Faculty
rule!”

Y. W. gave a scene in which three
girls, decidedly blue, were declaring
that there was nothing to do at col-
lege and the poor homesick Fresh.
man was crying hopelessly, Amidst
this hubbub in came the various or-
ganizations of Y. W. and explained
just how very much there IS to be
done, causing the Freshman to dry
her tears and the others to be most
glad that they were at college.

The pantomime presented by B. O.
Z. and Folio was among the most en-
tertaining of the stunts. A young
literary genius was sitting at the ta-
ble endeavoring to write a story. She
wanted the very best kind of a story,
so she decided upon one with a love
motif. She began her story by por-
traying the characters and as she did
so they entered; the sweet young
girl, the dashing hero and the fero-
cious villain. As the writer described
the atmosphere of her tale, the flow-
ers noticeably breathed forth fra-
grance upon the night air, while the
tall moon beamed jovially. As the
plot developed under the pen of the
author, a black cloud came in front
of the moon and the hero came
bouncing in on his kiddie kar to es-
cape with his bride. The fair lady,
in climbing from her window, fell,
and gave the falling action. The vil-
lain appeared and made off with the
lady, who was, however, soon res-
cued by the hero. Just at this junc-
ture, Aunty Climax appeared, sicked
her lap dog upon the hero and tightly
srasped the maiden. The writer then
in great despair threw down her ma-
terials and cried. She had ruined the
story because she had introduced an
anti-climax!

The Blackfriar stunt was a scene
from a banquet hall in the lower
regions. It was a clever take-off on
the Shakespearean characters of
Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Anthony,
Hamlet and Portia, These charac-
ters discussed themselves as initiated
in these modern times.

The Athletic calendar was truly
picturesque. Every month of the
school year was represented _ by a
girl posing as ready for some kind
of athletics, such as gymnastics,
hockey, basket-ball, tennis, track,
swimming and even Christmas shop-
ping!

The Debating Societies gaye most
appropriately, a debate. The subject
for discussion was “To Vote or Not
to Vote.” The chairman announced

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

Speaking of editorials—the one in the Aurora last week expresses most
strikingly the feeling which has confronted every person who takes an
active interest in college journalism. At last we have realized that the
publications need and deserve an association.

To quote the editorial from the Aurora;

“The need of an association ig evident on all sides. First, we must
have a well planned and systematized body, that can effectively cope with
the Merchants’ League, which now cheerfully refuses to put an ad in more
than one college publication because, as they steadfastly maintain, such
action is charity. Wrath swells in the bosom of the outraged business
manager who is furnished with the information that each Agnes Scott girl
spends on the average of $250.00 per year in the dry goods stores of At-
lanta.”

Then, too, from a standpoint of efficiency, an organization of this kind
could accomplish a great deal. In fact a workable plan has been suggested,
which would call together the editors of well-known colleges in Atlanta,

including those of boys’ schools, and discuss the problems which concern Virginia Burum, Helen Crocker,

us in Georgia.
There is no doubt that an organization of this kind is needed—let the
action begin.

Quiet Hour Discussed.

What is causing all the excitement
at Agnes Scott now? Thanksgiving is
coming, of course, and everybody is
beginning to talk of the good
they are going to have. Some who
live near Atlanta, are talking of go-
ing home, and those who live too far
away to go back before Christmas
are talking of their Thanksgiving box
that the home folks will be sure to

ernment Was an open discussion meet-

discussion was quiet hour on Sun-
day. It was suggested that quiet
hour last for two hours instead of
one on Sunday afternoon, but the
movement was voted down.

Another movement was that we
have quiet hour from 8 to 9 on Sun-
day morning. This was also voted
down. The ringing of the rising bell
was brought up for discussion but it
was voted that the bells continue to
be rung as they are now.

The suggestion was made that we
be allowed to visit after lights until
eleven on Saturday night. This sus-
gestion will go before College Council
and Executive Committee before it
can be voted on by the students.

WEEK OF PRAYER.
This week is set aside by the

World’s Y. W. C. A. as a week of
prayer. Constance M. Waldegrave,
World President of the Association,

says: “In the rush and hurry of life!
we miss a great deal, because we al-
low ourselves so little time to seek
His face and hear His yoice—and |
now during this week of prayer we
want to prepare our hearts and
stretch forth our hands to receive the!
blessing of God. May we ask of Him
that our Association all over the
world may be a power working for
Righteousness, Purity, Truth and
Love, and thank Him together for
what He has already revealed to us
of His purpose and will.” |
for the week is as

in spirit and the restless in heart.

PAGEANT.

“The Striking of America’s Hour”
is the title of the pageant to be pre-
sented by the World-Fellowship de-
partment of the Y. W. next Sunday |
Woodrow Wil-
son said: “The swing of America’s
destiny is as wide as the world.” The
purpose of the Y. W. in giving this
pageant at this time is to impress
upon us America’s responsibility be-
sause of her relation to the other na-
tions; that thought is the central
theme in “The Striking of America's
Hour.”

Why Not Let “Gift Granny”
Help You With Your
Christmas List?

GIFT GRANNY says that Christmas time is nearing and
wouldn’t you like to have her Secretary serve you in
finding out just what your friends want for Christmas this
year instead of holding a guessing contest about it?

Gift Granny’s Secretary is here in our store, up on
the Third Floor and there you may go and find out just
what it is Aunt Mary, or Cousin Bob, or Mother will
appreciate most as a Christmas Gift.

It is a simple process and you are assured that none
of the folks you are interested in will ever find out who
it is wants to know. Oh, no indeed, we keep your name
a secret.

This is how it is done. Gift Granny's secretary writes
a little letter for you saying “Someone” would like to
know, and a convenient form is enclosed on which to
list the articles they want most as a gift, and then you
come back in a couple of days and Gift Granny’s Secretary

hands you the list of desired gifts IN THE HAND WRITING
OF THE PERSON you wish to give to.

And we do not charge a cent for this service, we are
glad to render it.

Any time you are in the store just come to the third
floor and ask for Gift Granny’s Secretary, or you can
phone, or if you happen to be at a distance you can write
and the same identical “secret service’ will be rendered.

Isn’t that a splendid idea to assure the appreciation
of the folks to whom you will give this Christmas?

WRITE, PHONE OR CALL IN PERSON.
ASK FOR GIFT GRANNY ON THE
PHONE. ADDRESS YOUR LETTER
TO “THE CHIMNEY CORNER”. IF
YOU COME IN, GIFT GRANNY’S TEM-
PORARY SECRETARY IS ON THE
THIRD FLOOR.

ABSOLUTELY NO CHARGE OR
OBLIGATION.

My Dearest Aggie:

Oh gee! Aggie, we've had the
“mostest” excitement here. There
were signs all over the place asking
in large purple letters whether we
liked a good time, cuts and lights on
until eleven. Oh no! of course we
didn’t—oh no! Well it turned out
awfully nice—we're going to have a
miniature Chautauqua all our own.
But you know, by the time everyone
in college had pondered “weightily”
upon these things and had offered
her opinion as to what it was—expec-
tations were miles high and we had
all decided that it could be nothing
less than a week’s holiday.

Well, Aggie, “Bill” really came at
Jast and you know Peg had been
talking about him so much that she
wanted all of her friends to see that
he really was as cute as she had
said, so Bill was calmly “parked”
somewhere on the campus
morning while Peg, in her Sunday
best, dashed off to classes. Gee! I'll
bet she thinks that one never knows
how many good friends one has, who
have nothing to do, until one leaves
a perfectly good beau out on the
campus all “by his lonesome.”

Gee! Miss Agnes is a popular look-
ing place these days, especially when
the special delivery boy comes up
with his load of letters and packages.

box of candy, in one day, mind you!

TAKE A DIP IN AGNES
SCOTT'S POOL.

Have you ever been in swimming at)
Agnes Scott? Well, then, maybe you |
think our pool is a joke, and that no- |
body bothers to go in; but, if you
could have seen the names on the
sign-up board last Thursday you
would certainly have changed your
mind.

Our pool is just the right size for |
a short, snappy swim, especially in|
winter weather, for the water can be
cooled or heated according to your
own ideas of comfort and pleasure.

Four girls at a time are allowed in|
our natatorium and as the time limit
is thirty minutes, don’t plead lack of
time as an excuse for not going in.
Sign up on the board in the north end
of the gym, and go in swimming as
soon and as often as you like. Then
write home and demand to be’ taken
to the sea-shore next summer on the
grounds that you “can swim the
length of the Agnes Scott pool eight-|
een times without stopping!”

FIRST ISSUE OF AURORA
COMES OUT.

Many New Features,

Everybody at Agnes Scott is highly
delighted and pleased with the splen-
did first issue of the Aurora, which
came out last week. It entirely ful-
filled the expectations of the Fresh-
men who had never seen a copy, and
the old girls were as proud of it as
ever—perhaps more so, for several
additions and changes
ment helped the number greatly.

The editors are hoping and expect-
ing to enlarge all the departments of
the magazine and here we should say,
a larger number of essays especially
is desired. Since our magazine has
made a start like this, and since it is
confident of the support of the stu-
dents, a brilliantly successful year is
certainly assured for the Aurora.

Attend.
After the big Thanksgiving dinner

Agnes Scott will have an opportunity
to.go to Atlanta and hear Galli-Curci,
whom we all know as one of the fore-
most prima donnas of the day. This
artist is noted as an interpretative
genius. A reputation which she has
gained both by natural endowment
and through years of study to per-
fect her art.

Her audiences are exceptionally

connoisseurs of music, but to those
who know nothing about it, but love

ture of sunshine and shadow. Born
in Milan, Italy, of wealthy parents,
she was brought up in a home which
was a rendezvous for celebrated men
and women. For some time she stud-
ied piano at the Conservatory at
Milan. Her impetus as a vocalist was
given her through the encouragement
of Pietro Mascagni, composer of
“Cavalleria Rusticana.” Her training
in this branch of the musical art

went along smoothly until her family |

SELECTED FOR
MAY DAY

Rachel Rushton, Author.

The scenario for May Day has at
last been selected. Its name is
“Pandora” and its author Rachel
Rushton. The try-outs were unus-
ually good this year and the judges
burned much of the midnight oil
over the decision.

The curtain rises on a scene ages
before sin entered the world. Flow:
ers bloomed eternally in the fields
and the children of Zeus wandered
peacefully over the earth. Their hap-
piness was unmarred by want and
they danced and played eternally,

the Dryads. Then they all disappear
leaving the Dryads dancing around
the fountain. Next the pansies are
induced to come out and dance until
the Sunflowers frighten them away,
who in turn hold carnival around the
fountain. Finally the Harvest god-
dess calls the fruits and grains, who
drive the flowers away and hold their
festival. When the dance is over
they are warned by the echoes of the
approach of Epinetheus. The fruits
quickly disappear and a song is heard.
Epinetheus enters with a band of
playmates. After resting a few mo-
ments they join in a dance and leave |

[DELEGATES RETURN

FROM ELMIRA

With glowing accounts of the place,
the conference, the people and every-
thing about it, our delegates returned
last Tuesday from the National Stn-
dent Government Conference, held at
Elmira College. It was also with
zlowing pride that we welcomed them
home, for were justly proud of
our representatives and felt that we
could not have made a better choice
of girls whom we would send North
to represent the interests, aims and
ideals of our beloved Alma Mater.

In every detail the trip was a suc-
cess, for at the beginning Margaret
and Nell were given the opportunity
to spend a day at their homes in Vir-
ginia.
| Then the next day found Margaret
in Washington and Nell at Hollins,
Where her sister is in sehool and
where she met the Hollins delegate
to the conference. At Lynchburg, the
Randolph-Macon delegates joined the
party and later in Washington Mar-
garet met the group and they went
on to Elmira, N. Y., picking up dele-
gates all along the way.

Just one more anticipation—the
midnight feast—the Thanksgiving box

are now thinking of last Thanksgiy-

were at home. But Thanksgiving at
Agnes Scott means just as much to

Freshmen. It has a meaning all its
own, and we love it—we love Thanks-

After lunch a most delightful trip

bers were hosts on this occasion and
took the girls on this twenty-mile
trip in automobiles. Being totally
unprepared for trips in such cold

members would have been trans-
formed into icicles had not the
thoughtful Elmira girls’ bundled them
up in their own warm furs, sweaters
and mackinaws. They reported the
trip as most delightful, as Watkins
Glen is a wonderful place.

By the time the last automobile re-
turned to the campus it was time for
dinner, which was an occasion for
full dress, and was also accompanied
by the college orchestra, which played
many, peppy college songs all during
the meal.

Address by Mrs. Rosenburg.

Immediately afterward the evening
session met and was addressed by
Mrs. Rosenburg, the president of the
National Inter-Collegiate Alumnae
Association. Her subject was one of
vital interest as it had to do with the
relation of Student Government to
the college girls She brought out
very strongly the thought that the
growth of Student Government and
of the college girl have gone hand in
hand. This inspiring talk lasted un-

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

WON'T YOU WRITE A COLLEGE SONG?
The students have heard many appeals lately for an original college

song—yet no college song has appeared. The Agonistic wants to add its
appeal to the others.

As old as our college is, as large and as influential, it is a disgrace that
we have no tune that is all our own. Especially now when we are to have
an inter-collegiate debate here in the spring as well as the Southern Inter-
collegiate Conference, it is especially necessary that we have some original
songs to be proud of.

There are girls at Agnes Scott who can write poetry. There are also
girls who can compose music. If these girls would get together, we could

soon have some college songs that we can be really proud of.

THE AGNES SCOTT SPIRIT.
That’s what makes Agnes Scott the wonderful college that it is—just

the Agnes Scott Spirit. Indefinable? Yes;—intangible, but none the less
real and effective and influential.

The Agnes Scott spirit has been handed down to us. by those who have
gone on before as a wonderful heritage.
willingness to work for its improvement, enthusiasm for its success, in-
terest in its problems, and love for all of it.

The Agnes Scott spirit is one of our dearest possessions.
ways keep it, and hand it down to those who will follow us just as we have

received it.

SOPHOMORES ENTERTAIN.

Dance Saturday Evening in the
Gym.

On last Saturday night, the Sopho-
mores entertained delightfully with
a dance in the gymnasium. A splen-
did orchestra was procured and
played continually from eight until
ten-thirty.

Almost the entire school attended
the ball and are grateful to the
Sophomore class for a most delight-
ful evening. The gym was most
tastefully decorated, and the host-
esses were very cordial and hospit-
able.

About ten o'clock delicious ice
cream and cake was served by mem-
bers of the Sophomore class. The
guests left, after the last strains of
“Home, Sweet Home” had died away,

ak |
raining cats|declaring that they “had never had

/such a good time.”

There is to be a reunion of the
class of 1920 at Agnes Scott during
Thanksgiving. Everybody is looking
forward with pleasure to seeing these
old girls back again, and if the
Freshmen aren’t anticipating the ar-
rival of these alumnae with as much
pleasure as the old students are, they
will certainly be mighty sorry to see
them go. So Mary RB; and Jule and
Crip and Beth and all the others,
we're so glad you're coming, and can
hardly wait to see you.

AGNES SCOTT ANSWERS RED
CROSS ROLL CALL.

College Total $202 So Far.

Have you answered to your name
in the fourth Red Cross Roll Call?
We know that Agnes Scott is going
to contribute liberally. Although the
Red Cross is asking for about one-
third less this year than last, the re-
sponses. all over the country are
coming more slowly. This is all the
more reason why we who can spare
one dollar should think of the poy-
erty-stricken families whom the Red
Cross is aiding.

Dr, Sweet and her helpers have
very ably carried on the campaign at
Agnes Scott. So far the results for
1921 are as follows:

WHY WE ARE THANKFUL ON
THANKSGIVING.

Do you remember a song that you
used to sing in grammar school that
ends up something like this?
“Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding

done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!”

And do you remember the awfully
thrilly feelin’ that you used to have
when you sang it—for it meant that
Thanksgiving Day was coming and
it seemed that you could just smell
the roast turkey and the pudding and
the pumpkin pie and all the other
things that go along with these sure

signs?
Well, our grade school days are
over, and most of us have stopped

| singing that song, but the excited feel-

ing still comes about this time every
year; we are wondering what is go-
ing to happen, and how much we're
thankful for.

At Agnes Scott especially, the pros-
pect takes on new qualities such as
| involve a holiday, a big six o'clock
dinner and such things.

Of course we are all thankful
separately in hundreds of personal,
individual ways and.for as many dif-
‘erent reasons, but as classes and or-

ganizations what are we thankful}
for?
Everybedy must admit that the)

“You tell ‘em tool box, you’ve got the
saw.”

Just think, Aggie, it's only twenty-
nine days now until we leave for
home and Christmas holidays, but
even that much time is just like
eternity when one is as tired of school
and as hungry for some home “eats”
as IT am. Tell Aunt Cindy she can
just start cooking now if she wants
to have the pantry full enough for
me: : ft

I'll see you soon, I'm too busy now
to write: you more.

P. S—A boy winked at me today.
He was cute and had red _ hair!
Whoops! I'm coming out!

they are thankful for one whole day
in which to do as they please—no
classes to meet, no lessons to assign
-——nothing to do ‘til tomorrow.” Also
they’re thankful for being faculty at
A. S. C.—and incidentally we are
unanimously thankful that they are,
too.

This brings up the question of what

we are, as a whole, thankful for—
besides the usual thing. Some of
these, already mentioned, are: holi-

day, a big dinner at six on Thanks-
giving evening with all the
fixin’s’ and extra dishes that one
would expect. Oh, and evening dress!
It’s such fun to “dress up’—isn’t it—

and feel like a lady of leisure once,

more?
After all, aren’t there a lot of
things to make us truly thankful? Of

course, all the reasons mentioned are

|rather outside and beyond the reasons

that make us, deep in our hearts, feel
like giving thanks. For to be sure
these aren’t all the reasons, nor even
the least part of them, but counting
them all there are many, and thanks
in proportion are due the Giver of
them all.

MISS CURRY GIVES RECITAL
IN DECATUR.
Blackfriars Present ‘‘Three Dear
Friends.’”’

A concert was given Monday night,
November the fifteenth, at the Court
House for one of the circles of the
Decatur Presbyterian Church. Miss
Curry of Agnes Scott, and Mr. Barnes,
a Theological student at Emory, de-
lighted the audience with their
songs.

Both Miss Curry, accompanied by
Miss Sutphen, and Mr. Barnes, accom-
panied by Mr. Dewey, sang a num-
ber of solos, closing with a duet. The
soprano and baratone blended beau-
tifully and called forth much ap-
plause,

After the recital, four of the Black-
friars gave a play, “Three Dear
Friends.” This was the first time
that the Blackfriars have played off
the campus. Those taking part were
Coma Burgess, Martha Taliaferro,
Lucile Smith and Annie Byrd Max-
well.

LITTLE BREAKS.
An Ear-splitting Reception.
“Mr. Holland was greeted by a
loud burst of silence as he entered
the room.”

Mr. A. Smith and his daughter
were killed and seventeen other per-
sons were knocked conscious by a
stroke of lightning yesterday.

An optician was testing Mary’s
eyes. He held up before her the card
with the letters, varying in sizes.

“Can you read this?” he said as he
pointed to the top line of letters.

“Oh, yes, I can read it, but, heavens
knows, | can't pronounce it.”

‘you be thankful too if your pictures
| were at last all finished and the or-
| deal over?

The Juniors agree with the Seniors

, that it’s fine to have pictures all oi)

with, but they’re inclined to be
thankful that they have Senior hon-!
ors to look forward to rather than to
enjoy just now. They think that it’s
all fine and solemn to be a Senior |
out that they think it’s just as nice
‘o be a Junior—if not a wee bit nicer
—it’s so much fun being a Junior—
they would rather travel hopefully
than arrive at Seniorhood.

And then the Sophomores—well,
they contend that they have the most
yet to be thankful for, because surely
it’s a grand thing to be the sister
class of such an illustrious class as
'21 is, and the sharer in the Seniors’
glory and joy. Besides this, the
Sophomore class is happy and thank-
ful that they are Sophomores—just
half way through—with something to
look back on and still more to look}
forward to.

The class of "24 is sure that the
thing they are most thankful for is
that they came to Agnes Scott—and
then because they are Freshmen.
Really ‘it is a grand experience and
with it comes the thrill that comes
once in a lifetime. Another reason
they have for thankfulness is that
Thanksgiving marks the approach of
another season—Christmas—less than
4 month off—a long vacation, and
home, and—bliss!

Some folks might think that the
Irregular class, being irregular, have
nothing in particular to give thanks
for, but really they have, for instance,
such things as the joys of exemption
from Math, and Latin, and time to
pursue art and music and other
studies which many “regulars” are
prevented from enjoying because of
so many hours in specified studies of
more academic nature.

But what about the Faculty—last
but far from least? What are they
thankful for? Well, for one thing

SENIORS AND SOPHS VICTO-

RIOUS OVER FRESHMEN
AND JUNIORS.

In the Senfor-Freshman hockey
game played Saturday afternoon the
score Was tied at the end, nothing to
nothing. It was decided to play one
goal overtime, and the Seniors made
it, bringing the score up to one, in
their favor. The Sophomores played
the Juniors that same afternoon, win-
ning by a score of two to one.

Percentage Standing of Teams.

The percentage standing of teams

now is as follows: Seniors, 75%;
Juniors, 50%; Sophomores, 50%;
Freshmen, 50%.

If the Seniors win the next game,
they will have first place, but if the
Sophomores win, the result will be a
tie between the two classes and the
winner of the Junior-Freshman game.
According to our present system of
scoring, each class plays the other
three classes twice, six games in all,
and the percentage standing of the
teams is taken from the results of
these games.

THE MASTER OF BALLAN-
TRAE,

Played at Atlanta Theatre.

Why did all the students go to
town so much last week? Why,
haven’t you heard about it? “The

Master of Ballantrae” has been play-
ing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day at the Atlanta Theater.

All who have been in Dr. Armis-
tead’s English I class have read
about this play. Only a few weeks
ago the book had to be read in this
class, and a book report written. Of
course, this will be interesting to you.
Perhaps you and another girl disagree
on some of the characters or perhaps
on the plot. At the Atlanta Theatre
is the place to make all these dis-
agreements right. Almost all the
girls who have gone enjoyed it more,
hecause they had read the book, and
kind of knew what was going to be
staged next.

It is very fortunate that we are so
near the Atlanta Theatre where we
can go to see all the plays that are
shown there.

BLACKFRIARS TO PRESENT
“GREEN MOTH.’’

Rhea King Author—Till and
Rushton Stars.

On Saturday night the Blackfriars
will present “The Green Moth" to the
college community. This production
should be especially interesting to
Agnes Scott girls, since it has been
written as well as staged by entirely
local talent. Rhea King is the author
of the play, and knowing this, we are
assured of its originality and inter-
est.

Another “drawing” feature of the
“Green Moth” is that Sarah Till is to

have the leading part, while Rachel
Rushton is also to star. With Miss
Gooch pushing it on, we're sure that
Blackfriars will score another huge
success,

‘those of the relation of publications

very much interested in our plan for
the triangular debate this year and
thought it most practical and inspir-
ing to inter-collegiate interest.

At the close of this session, which
was the last of the conference the
delegates, after lunch, saw a _ very

them of “home,” to which they
started in a few hours after the game.

There was regret of course at leav-

The representatives were impressed
with the beauty and dignity of the

dormitories, where the students have
suites of rooms, two single rooms and
a sitting room. They also have a

JUNIOR MUM PARTY GRAND
SUCCESS. |

|

Junior and Her Children
Receive Several Contri-
butions.

Mrs.

The reader, if a day student, may
be unaware f the rollicking, frolick-
ing time that little three syllabled|
|word MUM can mean, but all Aggie |
understands, for the Juniors enter-|
tained the whole school with a de-
lightful party quite different from
“any affair of the season.” As Mrs.
| Junior and her ten children needed
money, the entertainment was not ex-
actly free, but the big stock of coins |
collected was made up merely of pen-
nies. By that word hangs a tale:

“A penny for two smiles, my dear,

|

A laugh, a word, one cent;
So help along the Junior Class

And to your mirth give vent.”

The bright idea of a mum party
where every word, laugh, or two
smiles costs one cent started with the
class of '20, who held this privilege
as long as they inhabited these walls,
but upon their departure the wide-
awake Junior class got permission
from Miss Hopkins to exercise this
novel way of helping along class
finances. The housekeepers, in sym- |
pathy with the movement, provided |
the most appetizing meal imaginable.
|The maids and waiters were taken
in on the secret, too. The motto for
that night was, “Nothing to eat unless
you ask for it!” For every word
there was the musical jingle of a
well-aimed penny landing squarely in
the waiting soup plate, which graced |
the center of the table. Not only was

sip tabooed, but the eternal outlet of
feminine emotions, a laugh or a smile,
had its price. The solemnity of the
occasion was marked until the two
idiots appeared, or Mrs. Junior and
her ten raggedy, taggedy children}
made their straggly entrance. Who
could keep a straight face, particu- |
larly since each girl was trying so
hard to do it? Besides, who doesn’t
most desire to do what is forbidden?

The Junior class now has a treas-
ury not quite so devoid of the where-
withal and every Agnes Scott girl has
a lovely little place card to put in her
memory book as the record of one of
the best stunts yet—the Junior mum

party.

Blackfriars Pre-|

sent “The Green
Moth”

PLAY WRITTEN BY RHEA
KING.

Till and Rushton Star.

Of course you remember the pretty,
fantastic play called “The Green
Moth, or a Mid-night Fantasy” that
appeared in the last Aurora. Well,
the college community had the oppor-
tunity to see this play dramatized on
Saturday night after Thanksgiving in
the Agnes Scott chapel.

The play was written by Rhea
King, and besides having the proof
given us by our own reading of it
that it was a perfectly delightful play,
we all knew that if Blackfriars take
it up it was bound to be great!

The scene was laid in the nursery
of Little Bobbie Brown and Bobbie’s
mother and nurse on putting him to
bed on this wonderful moonlight
night. Mrs. Brown remarks on the
peace and stillness of the night, and
expresses the opinion that she be-
lieves that on just such nights things
fantastic and grotesque happen,
things that mortal eyes never see and
that mortal ears can never hear.
Marie, the French nursemaid, agrees
with her, and soon after the good-
night kiss and lullaby the curtain
falls, only to rise again on the same
scene, but now became the center of
some of the very fantastic happen-
ings not long since spoken about.
Then follows the story of Tommie
Tim, the Sprite, The Green Moth, and
an Awkward Bat. And who are the

characters in the play? Well, Sarah
Till is the Green Moth, and she

played the role well, put lots of the
fantastic atmosphere into it that it)
needs, lots of imagination, and color, |
besides being the graceful playmate
of Tommie Tim, whose part is played
by Marguerite Cousins. Befitting the
role of a sprite she is gay and whim- |
sical, and her costume carries out the
fanciful idea in being one covered |
with woodland leaves. Rachel Rush-
ton plays the part of the Awkward |
Bat.

Who was the occupant of the cra-
die? A real baby, by the name of
Jeter, of Decatur, will take the part
of Little Bobbie Brown, and when
Margaret McLaughlin, who plays the|
role of Mrs. Brown, kisses him and |
then sings the sweet Iullaby—well,
who says that the little Jeter child |
hasn’t an enviable role? Then, the}
part of the emotional, imaginative lit-
tle Marie, the French nurse-maid,
was played by Harriet Scott, and
played in a manner that does full|
justice to the part, too.

There were also the four Brownies,
funny, fat little people, whose parts
are played by Helen Hall, Virginia
Burum, Elizabeth Malloy, and Laura |
Oliver. Their acting, costumes and
general characteristics add not a lit-
tle to the atmosphere and assured
success of the play. Also there are
the four Merry Night Flowers, who
are represented by Del Bernhart,
Frances Harwell, Margaret Hay and
Sarah Belle Brodnax.

To be sure a play of this character
has much music in it, and in this case
Miss Sutphen was of indispensable
aid. She selected the music, and it
was of the kind that adds charm and
enchantment to the piece. Lucile|
Smith was in charge of the musical

what is in store for them when they |

hear that such illustrious members|
our own Pete and Llewelyn (better
known to the Freshmen as Miss Al-
/meda Hutchison, and Miss Wilburn,
respectively) are to lend their un-
usual talen to the ooceasion.

So this industrious club is to make
its first public appearance on the
evening of December 2 at 8 o'clock in

“Between Soup and Sawry.”

The Alumnae after great and stren-
uous effort and much persuasion have
succeeded in enlisting the services of
Mr. Stukes to take the part of the
hero, Horace Greensmith, in one of
these three masterpieces. This will
be an added inducement for all of the
Agnes Scott girls to be present.

The actors and their friends have
already begun a campaign to have
their performance noised abroad
throughout the city of Decatur and
its suburbs. Such vigorous adver-
tisement promises a big return and
a crowded house, so come early and
avoid the rush. The students of the
high school have already declared
their intention of coming in a body,
and surely we cannot afford to let
them get ahead of us.

Don’t forget that you are dated up
for the first Thursday in December
and be prepared for a sure enough
treat, the complete list of partici-
pants which you will behold on that
night being as follows:

Emma Jones, Prof. Stukes, Emma
Jane Harwell, Almeda

is the calling of the roll to which
each member answers with a French
verse or proverb. It was the privi-

the sixteenth, and those who went
brought back reports of an unusually
good time. The conversation was
not hampered to any great degree by
the fact that French conversation was
employed, and our girls report a
most pleasant evening. A debate on
Woman's Suffrage was held, and the
Agnes Scott representatives enjoyed
it greatly in spite of the fact that
the decision went to the negative.

Mr. Dodd To Give
Lecture Series

DECEMBER THIRD AND
FOURTH.

“Missionary Wilson’’ Subject.

mm accordance with its policy of do-
ing everything possible to broaden
the intellectual horizon of its stu-
dents, Agnes Scott has arranged to
have here this winter three famous
lectures. The first one of these noted
speakers is Mr. William E. Dodd,
| Professor of -American History in the
| University of Chicago.

Mr. Dodd will give a series of lec-
tures on December third and fourth
here, in the chapel. It will be a splen-
did treat to hear him, for being one
of America’s foremost historians, he
has looked at our history from every
conceivable angle.

Mr. Dodd is among the first in a
group of Southern historians whose
exponents are such men as Ulrich
Phillips and John Spencer Bassett,
men who are striving to interpret
Southern history and to show what
part the South has played in the de-
velopment of America. Professor
Dodd invariably succeeds in interest-
ling his hundreds of students in re-
|searches in Southern history, no mat-
| ter from what section of the country
they happen to come, Not only
‘through his classes has he influenced
the American public, but through
|such magazines as The World’s
Work, the American Historical Re-
i'view, and the Yale Review, The li-
brary of Southern history which he
has built up at the University of
| Chicago testifies to his interest in the
subject.

Another foundation on which Pro-
fessor Dodd’s fame rests is found to
be his books, The last published of
these is the much discussed work en-
titled “Woodrow Wilson and His
Work.” This is remarkable as be-
ing an attempt at estimating a man’s
work while he is still living and do-
ing that very work. Other books are
the “Life of Jefferson Davis,” ‘“States-
men of the Old South,” “Expansion
and Conflict” and the “Cotton King-
dom.’’

The lectures to be given at Agnes
| Scott are on the subject of “The Mis-
sion of Woodrow Wilson.’ The first
of these to be given Friday morning,
| December 8, at half past ten, is “Wil-
son and the Awakening of 1912;” the
second, “Wilson and the World,’
Friday evening at night; and the
third “The Great Apostasy,” Satur-
day evening at eight.

Season tickets for the complete
jseries of lectures, (including Mr.
Taft and Miss Monroe, as well as Mr.
|Dodd), are to be two dollars; tickets
for Mr, Dodd’s lectures alone will be
one dollar, and tickets for the other
two lecturers, separately, will be a
dollar each. This is our first attempt
at a chautauqua season, so come on,
student body, and support it.

for Paris. But we are almost repaid
for losing her since she has left be-
hind a group of six of her most tal-
ented pupils who are ably carrying
on the ancient art which she revived
from the Greeks. These beautiful
young women when small children
were chosen from her many pupils as
the most gifted in America, and were
under Miss Dunean’s influence for
fourteen years. She kept them al-
ways with her, daily training them in
her art. Their names are Anna,
Brica, Irma, Lisa, Margot, and
Teresa,

Beryl Rubinstein, whom one review
calls the “phenomenal Georgia pian-
ist,” and who although still in his
jteens is considered a great artist,
comes with the dancers as_ soloist.
This makes the presentation doubly
attractive.

The anticipation of being present
at this performance is great, not only
at Agnes Scott but everywhere, that
this art of dancing for its own sake
is loved.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

CLASS OF 1920.

To the class of 1920, who have just had their reunion at Agnes Scott,
the Agonistic wishes to extend a delayed but none the less hearty welcome.
We have missed you girls all year, for your enthusiastic interest as well
as your unusual ability helped to push along the work at Agnes Scott
smoothly and most efficiently, while your happiness and cheerfulness made
the work a real pleasure.

To have you back with us during the Thanksgiving holidays took us
back to last year when your presence added so much to the college, and
made us realize how very much we have missed you. But it is also great
to have you as Alumnae, and now that you have started to put into practice
the things you learned at Agnes Scott, you are a real inspiration to us who
are to follow you.

Alumnae, of 1920, we're glad you come back to Agnes Scott in a body
to see us. We enjoyed your visit, and we hope you'll come soon again.

NOISE DURING LECTURES.

It is lamentable that it is necessary to continually remind college
women that it is rude to make noise during lectures at Agnes Scott. When
girls come off to school they are supposed to be sufficiently mature to
think about other people, and to observe the laws of courtesy.

How often has Dr. Gaines asked us to please be more quiet during the
chapel hour? How often have you been disturbed during a recital, by girls
ltughing and talking on the colonade, or dragging furniture around on
second floor, or strumming ukuleles and singing, to drown the voice of
the reader?

This is sufficiently embarrassing when we are having our own recitals,
or our Own meetings when visitors are addressing us, it is even worse,
since it gives to outsiders a bad impression of Agnes Scott. Agnes Scott
through the years has succeeded in a reputation of which it may be justly
proud. It is our duty to uphold its fair name in so far as we can. Are we
doing this when we are discourteous to our visitors, and make so much
noise during addresses that the speaker can scarcely be heard?

Girls, of course it is thoughtlessness, for we would not purposely be
discourteous. Hereafter let’s think, and give to visiting speakers the cour-
teous attention which they have the right to expect.”

Student Government News

Students are reminded to register;regard to some little things which
mean a lot when they are part of our
honor system, Coma Burgess made a
short talk on what honor itself is and
how much honor means to our college.
Margaret McLaughlin then gave ex-
amples of the ways in which the
honor system is often thoughtlessly
broken, such as getting help on ex-
ercises that are to be handed in, and
on notes that are to be handed in.

after lights when they return from
town.

Girls are asked to be careful about
being quiet when they return to their
rooms light cuts, and
when return from town after
lights.

The Student Government meeting
last week was held on Tuesday morn-
ing. The president of Student Gov-
ernment talked for a few minutes on
what our honor system means to us.
Victoria Howie spoke of what the
honor system means to Freshmen.
Margaret Kay then told us a few ways
in which we could be more careful in

The first recital of the year of the
Spoken English Department was
given last Wednesday evening in the
chapel, under the direction of Miss
Gooch, and the girls showed by their
large attendance that they welcomed
it. Nor was our enthusiasm dampen-
ed during the programme, for it was
one that fulfilled our expectations and |
which we thoroughly, enjoyed.

The participants in this recital are |
advanced students in the expression
department. They showed that they
possessed’ great talent and we know
that we may expect great things from
them in the future in this line. The |
audience showed their appreciation
and enjoyment of the whole evening
by their hearty applause.

The first number on this delightful
programme was O. Henry’s “The
Guardian of the Acolade,” which was
given by Sarah Till. Second was
Rudyard Kipling’s “How the Whale
Got His Throat,” given by Mary)
Stewart McLeod. The other numbers
were given in the following order:

THE AGONISTIC

GIDDIE GOSSIP

Dearest Aggie:

You can’t imagine what a wonder-
ful feeling it is to have a holiday and
a half! No work, all play, makes
Giddie a happy girl. We're just “set-
tin’ still” for a few minutes to get our
breath and then—on with the dance!

Boxes from home are one of the
biggest hits so far—home cake, dates
(stuffed, not live, that is in the box),
pickles, mayonaise and all the things
girls love to get—and eat. And flow-
ers! My dear, Harriet Scott got a
dozen Ophelia roses and a dozen
echrysanthemums all from the same
boy! I'll say that’s going some.

And think of the fun of hockey and
the hike, lunch in the tea room, dates
for the game and then the big
Thanksgiving dinner all dolled up in
your frilliest evening dress and an
anxious knight for dinner or a date
later in the evening. Gee! it surely
is thrilling! Wouldn’t it be nice if
Thanksgiving came—say once a
month—or something like that? Tl

bet the infirmary would be full if it
did, don’t you?

And think about the boys who will
be here for the game. Auburn will
look mighty bare when they all leave
for “Atlanta, Tech and Agnes Scott.”
Of course all the Georgia girls are
strong for Tech but they might as
well conclude that a husband should
be chosen by “arithmetic” and not
by “geography” and Auburn boys can
be awfully welcome when it’s an Ala-
bama girl they're coming to see.

Did you ever hear of so many wed-
dings in all your life? Oh I don’t
mean here at school! But just lots
of the girls have gone away to be in
weddings — Ruth lLaughon, Ruth
Keiser and Anne Hart are all indulg-
ing in romance this week. Mary
Catherine’s away, too—but not for
weddings. She’s gone to Nashville
to the game. Imagine being asked
that far for just one football game.

Sarah Harrison’s been up to some-
thing but she absolutely won't tell
me a thing about it, and it makes me

quite peeved because I know you
would love to hear about it and I was
dying to have some excitement to
write you about. Such is life in a big
grirl’s college—one. person can’t be
expected to hear everything.

Gee! You ought to see the specials
posted, three pages full!!! and there
are at least fifteen pages of phone
calls! Alas! If one were only for
me! No such luck! I’m one of these.
romantic souls who longs to have
something real thrilling happen but
who lives only to see other people’s
beaus come and jazz them out to the
theater and dinner.

Say, Aggie, wouldn’t you love to.
have a beau like Dorothy Luten has? |
He sends her ten-pound boxes of}
candy and calls her up over long dis-|
tance every Sunday night.

If anyone comes to see me or any-)
thing happens I'll write to you right!

GOING HOME CHRISTMAS?

Only Sixteen More Days Till
Holidays.

Breathes there a girl with soul so
dead, -
Who never to herself hath said,

“Just sixteen days till Christmas

leave!”

Whose heart doth ne’er within her
burn

That home her footsteps she shall
turn?

If such there be go mark her well.

There is nobody like that at Agnes
Scott, but even if there were she
would be the eighth wonder of the
world and might even be hailed as
the first! From September to- De
cember without one glimpse of the
home folks seems like a lifetime, for
seeing is believing, and letters leave
room for improvement which only the
real thing can give. How the college
girl does look forward to those three
weeks of perfect bliss! She can go
where she pleases when she wants
to; she can eat whenever and what-
ever she desires; she can keep on
lights to all hours of the night; she
will entertain the family with her
tales of college life; she will have
nothing to do but to have a good time.
Oh girls, what a life!

No wonder we count the hours till
Christmas holidays with a constantly
increasing impatience and a longing
to be off. How many times have we
pictured ourselves, suitcases packed
long before hand, waiting on pins and
needles lest something unexpected
happen to detain us at the last min-
ute before train time. And then we
have fancied ourselves finally back
home, joyously greeting our family,
so long deprived of our presence.
Our glorious dreams will come true in
just sixteen more days!

Every .girl has her own way of
marking the passing hours. Many
are the worn, tattered, be-penciled
calendars, with ‘a date scratched off
each day. Praises to those calendars
that remind us of the joys that are to
be, and that, shortly! But there are
other reminders, too. One of the
most interesting and ingenius carries
us back to our little girl days, for
stretched across one corner of a cer-
tain room at Aggie is a dangling row
of paper dolls, smiling more and more
as their numbers approach one, which
marks the last day before we leave
for home. Every day one paper doll
is torn down, leaving a more smiling
companion to tomorrow's fate and
leaving a brighter, happier Agnes
Scott girl to face one less day till all
good dreams come true and Christmas
vacation is a reality.

Orchestra Comes Out From At-
lanta.

When Beth McClure announced in
chapel Saturday morning that,
Thanksgiving was coming, the Sopho-
more class earnestly desired to in-
crease the happiness at Agnes Scott,
by a dance in the gym at 8 o'clock
Saturday night, hearty applause
greeted her announcement. A grand
time and an orchestra from town

were promised.

The promises were well fulfilled.
For judging from the exclamations,
“sure did have a good time;” “Wasn't
that the grandest party,” and others,
the Sophomore party was a huge suc-
cess.

At 8 o’clock people coming to the
gym found it gaily decorated in the
Sophomore colors, black and yellow.
Large bows of the crepe paper were
scattered on all four sides of the
gym, and a murmur of gay confusion
greeted the guests. The music started
promptly and the dancing which
lasted until a late hour, began.

There were waltzes, fox-trots, one
steps and no-breaks, the best of all.
So in this way every one had a chance
to dance. And those few who didn’t
dance expressed the opinion that en-
joyed the party as much as those who
did dance.

Soon after the guests arrived a
bountiful supply of ice cream cones
were served. These greatly helped
the dancing, even as the Sophomores

‘looking forward

had expected it to. So as a matter
of course, after the ice cream was
served there was more dancing and
still more dancing. Even the digni-
fied Seniors indulged.

When the orchestra played “Home,
Sweet Home,’’ every one was very
sorry. It was a tired but happy
crowd of girls who left the gym, ex-
pressing the wish that a Sophomore
party would “happen around” every
Saturday night.

TOUCHING,

To see if it’s in place,

And then, with manner debonair,
She touches up her face.

A touch of curls behind her ear.

And then she’s off to Daddy. dear,
To touch him for ten dollars.

ADDRESSES AGNES SCOTT.

Subject, ‘‘Psychology of Social
Development.’’

We have heard that Agnes Scott is
to have several. celebrities visit her
this winter. Well, she’s already had
one important “date” this week and
is proud to mention it. It was Ag-
gie’s pleasure and privilege on Tues-
day, November 23, to entertain Dr.
Winfield Scott Hall, noted psycholo-
gist and lecturer of Chicago, who
gave a most interesting lecture on the
subject of the psychology of social
development in the race and in the

course, of more interest to students

of psychology and sociology, but a
large representation of other students
and faculty attended.

Many of the students have pleas-
ant memories of Dr. Hall at Blue
‘Ridge where he lectured at the con-
ference and so welcomed him en-
thusiastically here. He came under
the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. as he
lis giving a series of lectures under
|\the Temperance and Moral Welfare
|of the Y. M. C. A. with headquarters
‘at Pittsburgh. He is touring southern
universities and colleges so we caught
‘him “on the fly” between Athens and
'the University of Alabama.
| The lecture at Agnes Scott was one
of universal interest as it had to do
not only with past sociological and
psychological history, but also with
biological theories regarding the pro-
bable future of the human race. Dur-
ing the course of the hour Dr. Hall
worked out a. most interesting chart
showing the various periods and
|factors influencing the race since its
earliest beginnings. Also on _ this
chart, after showing stages of race,
was given a diagram demonstrating
stages in the life history of the indi-
vidual. A rather unique idea was
worked out in following these dia-
grams as parallels, showing that the
individual in the various phases of
his existence repeats step by step
the history of his race from all the
characteristics of childhood on up to
maturity. Few of us who have small
brothers doubt for long the fact that

One of these reasons was because
so many of the new members of

play.
bers in Blackfriars give proof of the
great amount and great quality of
dramatic ability and “pep” at A. S. 'C.,
and the hopes of the club are espe-
cially high for this year.

Another reason why we enjoyed
the play so much was because it is a
product of “home talent.” What col-

ATHLETICS

FRESHMEN VICTORIOUS
OVER JUNIORS.

Sophs Beat Seniors 3-1.

Last Saturday afternoon the Fresh-
men beat the Juniors two to one, and
the Sophomores beat the Seniors
three to one. After the game. the
Senior team invited the Sophomores
to a party. Sandwiches and ginger
ale were served and the entertain-
ment consisted of songs by Margaret
MeLaughlin and recitations by Marion
Cawthon. Then everybody sang to
everybody else and had a good time
generally. Another form of enter-
tainment was the putting of ice down
one’s neighbor's neck.

The Senior hockey team has won

first place, but the tie between the
Sophomores and Freshmen for sec-
ond place was decided on Thanks-
giving Day, at the last game of the
hockey season. The results of this
year’s playing and the percentage of
team attendance will be announced in
au early issue of the Agonistic.

HURRAH FOR THE THANKS-
GIVING HIKE.

There’s only one thing you can de-
pend on to happen Thanksgiving Day
at Agnes Scott. Turkey and cran-
berries may not appear, boxes from
home may be delayed, the Charlotte

Ruse may not be sweet, but, there is

always a hike.

Immediately after the hockey game
last Thursday, Agnes Scott in a body,
grabbed its ham, pickle and bread and
rushed to the front of Main Building,

where Genie awaited them, or rather)

her. Then everybody went out Can-
dler street, turned off at the green-
howise road and tramped for nearly an
hour. Next in order came refresh-
ments, each girl producing her own
and attending to its advantageous
disposal. The meal was very fashion-
able in that it was accompanied by
music, not soft and yeiled by many
palms and shrubs, but lusty and en-
thusiastic and joined in by all pres-

ent. The singing was kept up during
the walk home and many new songs
were composed for the occasion,

This hike was like old times, in-
deed, for several of our revered alum-
nae were present.

JUNIOR PICTURE SHOWS.

The Juniors have been most ener-
getic this year in working for the en-
dowment fund, and one of the most
interesting methods has been used at
the Decatur Picture Show.

Already two splendid shows have
been played at this picture house,
and due to these energetic Juniors,
Agnes Scott was well represented
when you hear that the Juniors are
in charge of the movies, you may
know it’s a good picture.

The Juniors have a monopoly on
this picture show, and when they are
in charge, they solicit your patron-

“Brother Brown, you will have to en-

CLASS OF 1920 HOLDS
REUNION.

Agnes Scott Welcomes Them
Warmly.

Thanksgiving at Agnes Scott was
made doubly pleasant this year on ac-
eount of the reunion of the class of
20. On Wednesday afternoon the fun
began, as the old girls began to come
in, and greet their friends. Shouts of
welcome were heard all over the

lighted to see past year’s Seniors,
whose class is the finest ever.

Then with what joy these Seniors
greeted each other, and compared
notes. Everybody tried to tell every-
body else everything that had hap-
pened since last commencement, and
they were all so glad to be together
again. Thanksgiving morning they
all went to the hockey field, and more
than one voice could be heard to say:
“Goodness, but I’d like to be in that
game again,” or “Doesn't that take
you back, girls?” Then it seemed so
natural to hear the girls in the din-
jing room singing to Jule and Mary |
j
| Burnett and Crip and all the rest, and |
to see the old girls dancing around in
| the gym, just like they did last year.

On Saturday night, the class of *20
were the guests of Miss Hopkins at
a theatre party. They all went in a
body to “The Green Moth” and Miss
Hopkins was greatly pleased to have
her girls back with her again.

reunion were Gertrude Manley, Louise
Slack, Marion McCamy, Mary Burnett,

afraid that the circus would not be a

would not give the cut without a rea-

big football games was scheduled,
Ruth decided to pay Dr. Armistead
back for refusing to give the cut. She
came up to him and said:

Choral Society
Gives “Messiah”
Saturday

Chorus Repeated at Fort Mc-
Pherson Sunday.

Handel’s “Messiah” was rendered

at Agnes Scott last Saturday night at
eight o’clock by the Choral Society.
This society was composed of vocal

students, all members of our Glee
Club, assisted by some tenor and
bass voices from the town of Deca-
tur and from the Emory University
Glee Club. Altogether there was a
chorus of about fifty voices. Mr.
Deickman was at the organ, Miss
Sutphen at the piano, and Mr. John-
son directed. =

There were five choruses from
“The Messiah” given by the whole
society as follows: “And the Glory
of the Lord,” “O, Thou That Tellest
Good Tidings to Zion,” “Glory to
God,” “All We Like Sheep Have Gone
Astray.” They were interspersed
with solos.

The great closing number was the
Hallelujah chorus. Mr. J. Foster
Barnes of Emory was the bass solo-

ist, Miss Curry the soprano, Mr.
Browning the tenor, and Miss Mary
Lansing the contralto.

The “Messiah” is Handel’s master-
piece and is generally accorded to be
the most spiritual of all the oratories.
The participants all had good voices
nd the chorus had been well trained
the head of our music department,
nson. A large and apprecia-
wlience, composed of the college

ity and friends, attended.
Was asked that this be repeated
on Sunday afternoon at three-fifteen
at Ft. McPherson for the entertain- |
ment of the wounded men, the officers |
and their wives. The girls were
taken out and brought home in army
trucks. Here the Messiah met with
as great a success as it had on Satur-

day.

TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL
HOLIDAYS.

How Are You Going to Spend
Your Christmas?

It is needless to say that it is only
two more days until Christmas)
holidays begin. For what girl hasn’t
already counted the days, the hours,
the minutes and the seconds until |
she will be home again?

The campus, the mail room, the
dining room and in fact in every
nook and corner where one finds
“Miss Aggie” is fairly singing of
Christmas.

New girls are asking the old ones
the way to the ticket office. My! but
isn’t it a grand and glorious feeling
to purchase a ticket yourself? Of
course, “Daddy” attended to all of
this when you left home. Then
there’s your trunk to pack. Oh!
here’s where we miss mother, who
packed everything so carefully. Let)
us hope that she will be so over: |
joyed at seeing us that she won't |
notice the fashion in which we drew |
our belongings into the trunk.

The Christmas vacation is longer
this year than ever before. At last
we will be able to attend that New
Year’s Eve dance that we missed last |
year on aceount of having to rush
back. Just think, we will have eight-
een whole days this year. Yes, eight-
een whole mornings in which we can
sleep if we choose, eighteen whole
days and nights to just have a good)
time.

Everyone is too excited over her)
own plans to find out how the next)
one is going to spend her holidays.
However, we sincerely trust that the

fellowship was already in the as-

A most fitting climax was Charlotte
ruse and fruit cake. Many were the
delighted approbations of the house-
keepers’ Christmas spirit, so con-
cretely expressed.

This all recalled Thanksgiving with
its ivy and autumn leaves, green
candles and mints, and best of all,
grape fruit, turkey, rice and gravy,
asparagus fruit salad, ice cream and
cake. Who could think of two such
delightful dinners without experienc-
ing a rapidly beating heart and a
thrill of anticipation for the future or

more attractive, all because of a de-
lightful send-off.

or three weeks ago, they expressed
them, and since Agnes Scott’s charity
“never faileth,” they were given a de-
lightful Christmas.

In the middle of hte largest room
there was a large tree, ready for the
girls when they arrived. This, they
bedecked with all sorts of Christmas
decorations, and piled up the gifts at
its base.

When all was ready, the old folks
were called in. The joy and the glad-
ness in their faces at the sight of the
|tree was enough to repay the girls,
in their role of “Santa,” fully. When
they had opened their gifts and found
exactly what they had asked for—
tobacco, clothes, candy, fruit and
inuts—their wonder still increased,
and though in some cases their thanks
were unspoken, they were not needed.

Then everybody sang Christmas
earols, and the girls went away, leav-
ing some of their Christmas spirit be-
hind them, and believing truly that
‘it is more blessed to give than to
receive.”

Propyleans
Win: Debat-

|

img Cup

Affirmative Triumphs Over Nega-

tive.
At the inter-society debate held in

the chapel Wednesday night, Decem-

ber the eighth, the decision was ren-

dered in favor of the affirmative, the
Propyleans triumphantly carrying the
\longed-for cup to their society hall.
The members of the two debating
societies had looked forward with
enthusiasm and rivalry to this debate,
and had had many preliminaries in
each hall for practice.

At the beginning of school the
Mnemosyneans challenged the Propy-
leans to a debate giving them the
privilege of choosing the side they
wished. The Propyleans accepted and
chose the affirmative.

One side of the chapel was deco-
rated in green and white, the colors
of the Propylean Society. The mem-
bers of the society marched in sing-
ing a very stirring song which made
one think they were ready to meet
the most fierce foe imaginable and
took their places under the colors they
had promised to love forever,

The other side of the chapel was
decorated in blue and gold, which
colors are dearly loved by the faithful
Mnemosyneans. As they marched in
also singing, their faces wore the de-

termination to win. Many songs were
sung and stirring rahs given before
the debate and then while the de-
cision was being anxiously awaited.

Miss Cama Burgess, as president of
the Debating Council, presided over

shining tinsel ana|the desire to have Santa Claus yisit|the meeting and introduced the

speakers. Miss Jeanette Archer, the
treasurer, kept time in the place of
Miss Anna Marie Sandress, who took
part in the debate.

The subject for debate, “Resolved,
that the growth in the exercise of
presidential leadership has been for
the promotion of general welware,”
was very interesting and has been
much discussed in current history.

The representatives of the Propy-
lean Society, who took the affirmative
side of the question, were Miss Char-
lotte Bell and Miss Caroline Agee.
The representatives of the Mnemosy-
nean Society, taking the negative side
of the question were Miss Ruth Sean-
drett and Miss Anna Marie Landress,

Miss Bell, the first speaker, brought
out especially that:

I. The , exercise of presidential
leadership has enabled the govern-
ment to function more efficiently.

A. Leadership is essential.

B. Presidential leadership is the
best form that can develop under our

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

A CHRISTMAS OF SERVICE.

Christmas, that time of the year that is dearest to the heart of every
school girl, is almost here, and girls run around the campus with smiling
faces. When holiday time is only three days off, all the world is one silver
lining, and such insignificant things as tests and term papers fade into the
background.

The Agonistic wishes for every Agnes Scott girl the best Christmas
she has ever spent. May your holidays be full of pleasure and gaiety and
good things to eat—and family. After all, it’s the family part that’s best.
But our Christmas should not be a selfish one. If we want to have the
best kind of a Christmas, it must be a Christmas of service for those who
are less fortunate than we, We must remember those people to whom
Christmas is just. a name, and try to impart to them some of our happiness.
In the midst of our good times, we sometimes forget that we are celebrating
the birth of one who came that the world might be a happier, better place
to live in—that He was the Servant of all.

May this holiday time prove to be a source of inspiration and pleasure
to each of us, and may we return to Agnes Scott happier and enthusiasti-
cally ready to start a new semester’s work.

ARE YOU HEALTHY?

Every one should realize that a healthy body is the most important
thing in the world to an individual. With health, comes happiness, and the
joy of living, and the ability to work and play and accomplish things.

At school, one is given splendid opportunities to train the body wisely, |

to learn the laws of health, and to form permanent health habits. Here at
Agnes Scott, we have a splendid climate, uniform hours of rest and labor,
ample and regular leisure for recreation, expert medical examinations, a
physician at our service, a well equipped infirmary at hand whenever we

are sick, a compulsory course in personal hygiene, three years of ordered |

and systematic gymnasium training, and all the equipment necessary for
athletics.

At the same time, we are all tempted to neglect these advantages, to
study or play late, never take sufficient exercise, or tax our brains when
they are over-worked and need relaxation, We must remember that our
bodies are our own, that we can have but one as long as we live. and that
we can never even borrow another. If we, due to our own indolence, start
out from school with bodies damaged, we must pay the gruesome penalty
of crippled powers and bodily pain, and vain regrets and shortened years.
Not only must we alone suffer, but all those around us would be made

unhappy.

Here are a few words of counsel to every student on the campus, |

advice that it would be advantageous to become acquainted with.

j. Take a deep interest in medical and physical examinations. Learn
your bodily defects and follow the remedial methods prescribed.
2. Be equally interested in the course in hygiene and right living, and

practice what you learn.
8. Do not shirk the gymnasium classes.
training you receive there. ; ;
4, Be wise enough and strong enough to abandon habits which you
know to be injurious to your health.
Form the habit of consulting Dr. Sweet about your health.

6. If you are act ‘ :
infirmary. To be afraid of it, is a sure proof of ignorance and inexperience.
Girls, don’t undermine your health at college, when you have such

splendid opportunities to improve it, Let’s all go home with roses in our

cheeks as well as knowledge in our heads.

CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE

GYM.
The real Christmas spirit expressed |
-itself most beautifully in the Christ-)
mas party which the Social Service
department of the Y. W. C. A. gave to
the children of the Decatur Orphans’
Home Saturday afternoon in the
gymnasium, This year is the first
time that the party has been for the
‘orphans; heretofore it has given to
the Syrian Mission in Atlanta; and
many felt that this year’s little guests
were closer home and needed our
|\love more.

Some of the older children wrote
letters to Santa Claus, which he for-
warded to their hostesses here. These
letters were a great help to the girls
‘in doing their buying, even though

bicycles.
Santa Claus, having shopped early |
this year to avoid the rush, was able
to leave his shop and be present at
{the party. He took the packages off
the tree, because since he knows all
the little girls and boys; it was easier
‘for him to read the names. Every
‘child received toys and nuts and fruit)
and candy, and a big helping of ice
cream and cake—Saturday night's
desert which the girls gave up,
The gym was crowded with happy
|people, and it is a question whether
the children were happier, or the
girls who had made them so.

THE WHITE CHRISTMAS.

There seems to be something pecu-
liarly fitting about a white Christmas.
Those girls who live in the land of
{snows will always say so. But in
| this part of the country there is sel-
!dom enough snow to Christmas white
out doors, although it is white in the
chapel.

The chapel was lighted only at the)
front where the snow-covered tree
glistened with every ray, First the)
\Y. W. CG. A. choir filed in, dressed in |
white and singing carolls. Behind)
them came girls, also dressed in.

|men everywhere sing once a year, and |

‘that many read once a year too—Van ,
Dyke’s story of “The Other Wise |

GIRL RESERVES.

Those girls who took Girl Reserve
clubs in the Y. W. C. A. of Atlanta
were all invited by Miss Brace, the
local Girls’ Work Secretary, to have.
‘lunch with Miss Buchanan, the Na-
tional Girls’ Work Secretary, on the)
Thursday of last week. Miss Buc-,
hanan’s wide experience with girls,
and her willingness to share the fruit
of that experience proved of great
value to the Agnes Scott girls, most |
,of whom are doing their first serious
work of this kind. Miss Buchanan's
personality was charming, and she
had such a vision concerning her)
work that she made the club leaders
feel that they were haying a part in

B. The choosing of a good candi-

This debate was one of a series

MISS AGNES GOES TO THE
POOR HOUSE,

On Sunday afternoon a group of
girls met in Main to'take a little bit
of Christmas cheer out to the poor
house, They had fruit and cake left
from the party Saturday afternoon,

and a few little presents, bought with)

the money left over, too; and in ad-
dition they had a tiny Christmas tree,
all decorated, for every cottage.

The girls enjoyed the walk out to
the poor house, and the old people
were more grateful than they could
say for the thought that prompted
them to go; little children always ex-
pect Santa Claus to come to them,
but these old people have learned that
he sometimes forgets. They talked
to the girls about former Christmases
when they had been happy, many of
them with their children, and as they
talked to sympathetie listeners, they
became happy again—as happy as
those who had gone out there to wish

‘them a “Merry Christmas.”

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
NEWS.
The Student Government meeting
last Tuesday was an open discussion
meeting. Before the discussion began

|the following announcements were
read:
The students are asked to have

their week-end books charged during
or at the end of the 11:30 period on
Saturday if they have 12:30 classes,
This is in order to avoid rushing in
late to dinner.

There is to be absolutely no visit-
ing after lights except on business.

Students are asked to be. careful
not to make a noise over the chapel
during meetings as this is very an-
noying to those in the chapel.

There has been a great deal of care-

Under-classmen are reminded that
only Seniors and Juniors can enter-

taken into class rooms.

A great many things have been lost
or borrowed lately and students are

rooms when they borrow anything so
that they may be found. ;

The campus is not being kept very
clean and there is not time for a
“clean-up" day before Christmas.

These announcements were fol-
lowed by open discussion of various
subjects. It was suggested that lights
be turned on at 6:20 in the morning
in order that those wishing to study
may do so.

The question of removing the rule

Realizing that in the big rush to

“Got to go to gym today,

Got to go an’ hop across the floor.”

Yes, we did have to go to gym
last week—go and be examined! Of
all agonies, it was the most terrible
to hear “Right face!” and realize that
you alone had turned to the left and
marched half way across the floor be-
fore you discovered it. And it was an
examination!

Some of us made A, and some F,
but we all breathed a sigh of relief
when gym exams were history. But
even then gym exams are lots more
fun than others, because they don’t
take so much brain work.

jiasm,

The great Thanksgiving Sophomore-
Freshman game marked the end of a
very successful hockey season at
Agnes Scott. By their victory of four

to one, the Sophomores won second)

“place, next to their Senior sisters,
and the Freshmen were relegated to
third place. Numerals were awarded
Thursday morning to all on the teams
who had played in four or more
games.

But hockey is over now and as
Miss MacDougall and Lewis Carroll

say, “The time has come :
to talk of other things! Now basket-
ball practices are in full swing.

Each class has two hours a week of
regular playing, and the schedule of)
practices is posted on the Athletic |
Bulletin Board, but everybody is in- |
vited to come to any practice. Games |
between classes will not begin till)

very merry Christmas and a happy

MR. DODD WRITES TO AGNES
SCOTT.

Enjoyed His Visit to The South. |

The following paragraphs are ex-
cerpts from a letter received by Miss
Hearon from Mr. Dodd, which he
his return to Chicago.

wrote upon
Mr. Dodd is greatly admired and
liked at Agnes Scott, and his lec-

tures are regarded as being among
the best treats that have ever come
to our college. It is very gratifying
to us that’ he liked Agnes Scott, and
took the trouble to inform us of it in
such a pleasing, straight forward
way. ;
Professor Dodd’s Letter.

“] wish to express my admiration
for your institution, its spirit, its
teachers and its students. President
Gaines impressed me as a _ solid,
earnest, liberal-minded man who has
done a vast work and who still dreams
of greater things for the College and
its members. I confess that I envy
him the constructive part he has had
in the re-building of the broken and
ruined South of his young manhood.
Besides my work of teaching and
writing and criticism it stands out as
a real and lasting thing, mine as
passing and evanescent.

“And T must not fail to say that
Dean Hopkins seemed to me to have
contributed very greatly to giving the
young women of Agnes Scott the fine
tone and manner that marked them.
I wish there were more like her, and
more schools like Agnes Scott.

“And you and McCain and Miss

Stevenson and Miss Gooch, how
well do you seem to _ pull to-
gether and to have for your

reward the earnest and admiring
support of the students! Nor have I
ever met with more promising or
serious young women, working al-
ways to higher and better ends than
we, their predecessors, have attained.
And there in the heart of the old
South they have gathered to work
and think. I only wish I had been
able to remain longer and see more
of it all.

“Now my part of those two days’
work looks small as I think it. They

Dr. Rosalie Morton
Addresses Agnes
Scott

Speaks On Serbians Educated In
Colleges.

On Monday, January 10, Agnes
Scott had the great pleasure of hear-
ing Dr. Rosalie Morton. For three
years Dr. Morton was in war work
in America, France and Serbia, a
representative of six thousand women

physicians. Dr. Morton before be-
ginning her lecture expressed her

great appreciation of the scholarship
which Agnes Scott offered to the
Serbian girl who was to have attend-
ed the college this session. Dr. Mor-
ton explained that our prospective
fellow student became ill in France
and much to the disappointment of
all had to return home. Agnes Scott

was the only college, Dr. Morton
told us, which planned to take a
Serbian girl without having been

ziven a lecture previously.

“The sweetness and loveliness of
your spirit shown in you welcome to
my Serbian girl was an inspiration to
the hard-working committee,” were
|her words of thanks to Agnes Scott.

Dr. Morton related her experiences
on the hospital boat, ‘La France.”
|Later she worked on the Salonica|
Ir front with French doctors and nurses |
lin caring for the French wounded.
| There were many queer incidents in
connection with the big semi-barha-
rous Madagascar negroes. On ar-
rival at a hospital one of these Bthi-
opian heroes . was, per ded &
pe _ heroes _venmpas
his gun and other possessions a
string of German ears which he wore
around his neck. This war trophy |
was to prove his prowess to the
“folks back home” (in the African
jungles.)

During her lecture Dr. Morton paid
a tribute to President Wilson, which
received enthusiastic applause. “Even
if the peace table were not advanced
enough to accept Wilson’s plan he
|has registered ideals for America.”
This led the speaker to express her
disappointment on her return to find
an absence of high ideals of dress
and of diversions in America. She
turned with gladness to the thought
that this was not true of the Ameri-
ean college and that conditions are
becoming. better everywhere.

Dr. Morton brought with her many
interesting slides taken from _ pic-
tures obtained in Europe. After
this interesting talk she was ready
to show these stereopticon slides.
The lantern, however, was not quite
so ready. It -behaved indeed badly.
The first slide, a map of Europe, ap-
peared with east at the west and
north at the south and every time an
explanation was begun the maps dis.
appeared.

“Yes, it takes a little time to get
adjusted,” Dr. Morton told Dr. Gaines,
“but it’s lots of fun!” Between the
antics of the lantern and Dr. Morton’s
sense of humor the audience was
nearly convulsed with laughter.

“Now you see this line on the
map,” began Dr. Morton (darkness),
“now you don’t” she concluded with
a laugh. While seeing these pictures
we realized the culture of the Serbs—
their art, poetry and beautiful archi-
tecture. The Serbs are a poetic imag-
inative people, the average man six
feet tall. Each tills his own bit of
soil. The pictures of prominent
Serbian men looked like “half the
club members you know,” Dr. Morton
told us. Then followed pictures of
German atrocities. At the end came
lovely photographs of some of Dr.
Morton's fifty boys and girls whom
she has brought to America to be
educated at colleges all over the}
land, and then to go back with the

idea of bettering conditions in Serbia.
Other countries are educating haa-

dreds. There are over three thou-

Party Arranged For
Trip Abroad

Miss Stevenson to Chaperon A.

Just imagine visiting all those
places that we’ve studied about, and
read about, and heard about all our
lives! Paris, and Nice, and Piso,
where the leaning tower is, and Na-
ples and Venice, and Flanders fields,

and Rome and London—and other
places that are just as wonderful that
we haven't heard so much about.

ton, Mass.

inal prices—for prices for less than
the expenses of a person traveling

traction of seeing all those places in
company with ten or fourteen other
girls and chaperoned by one of our
own instructors, Miss Stevenson.

The duration of the tour that
would be most desirable for A. S. C.
girls is about 72 days, beginning
June 18 and lasting until August 29.
Within this time those on the tour
would travel in France, Alsace, Lor-
raine, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium
and England with stop of from one to
six days in the various main cities en
route,

The trip includes a visit to Ver-
sailles and the famous Hall of Mir-
rors, excursions to Chateau Thierry,
Belleau Wood, Ypres, Vaus, Bau-
resches and Rheims, motor trips on
the Rivera, steamer trips to Torrento
and Capri and on varlous takes, such
as Lake Geneva, Thuw, Luverne, etc.,
drives along the wonderful Ruralfi
Drive and the top of Simplon Pass,
Then too, who hasn’t dreamed of go-
ing to Venice and Pompeii, and Flor-
Naples and Rome?
tour includes all these places.

The prices for these tours include
first class passage: on the steamer,
transportation of good class in Eu-

}rope, automobile and carriage trips

to the battlefields and cities,

galleries and other points of interest.

Also hotel accommodations, all neces-,

sary fees ut hotels and elsewhere, ex-
cept on Atlantic steamers; transfers
between stations, docks and

committee will preside, and will see}

that you are provided with a new
magazine, a good book or interesting
conversation. Girls can’t think of
study all the time, and this hour of

rest a day will certainly prove a
blessing to those who are wise
enough to make use of it. You will

find that you can work all the better
for it.

You’re welcome in the Y. W. room.
Just make its acquaintance and then
you'll have it, and visit it every day
for two weeks.

SPEAKS ABOUT AGNES

Large Louisville Audience,

During the holidays, Eleanor Car-
penter was given the opportunity of
speaking. about Agnes Scott to a
large audience of more than two thou-
sand people.

The High School of Louisville, Ky.,
in order to inspire the pupils to con-
tinue their education into college, had
a meeting in which the leading col-
leges of the country were represent-
ed. Eleanor was our representative,

and spoke of Agnes Scott not only to}

the High School pupils, but to the
Board of Education and to many citi-
jzens of Louisville.

On account of this speech, Bleanor
was a day late in arriving at college,
but a wire from Dr. Gaines assured
her that she would be excused from
classes on that day, in order to rep-
resent us before this andience.

Types” series. Some of these pic-
tures have already come out in ¢the

from the leading institutions of

most of them from big northern col-

Scott to be included, since the pie-

probably bring wider publicity to
Agnes Scott than anything has done

It was impossible to pick the most

are worthy to personify the spirit of
Agnes Scott, the president of Stu-

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

EXAMINATIONS AND YOU.

Examinations and all that they bring with them are upon us. For
those who have skimmed through their work all year, they mean worry
and much cramming; the more conscientious girls who have done their
work faithfully can accept them more placidly.

Every girl wants to do her best on these tests.

lowing a few simple’ rules.

In the first place, take the usual amount of exercise during examina-
tion week. When you stay in the library all day, cob-webs collect on your
brain, which a short brisk walk might wipe away.

Don’t stay away from meals. The little bit you might learn during the
meal hour will not compensate for the bodily weakness the lack of food
would cause you.

Forget examinations and worry while you are in the dining room.
Crack jokes and Jaugh, and you can digest your food more easily.

Don’t sit up too late at night, or drink stimulants to keep you awake |

in order to study. Any physician will tell you that stimulants will cause
you more harm than good, and a fresh mind is worth more than a little
bit of extra knowledge.

Be considerate of other people, as you want them to be considerate of
you, by observing their busy signs, and by keeping quiet in the halls when
others are trying to concentrate.

Above all, cultivate a philosophical attitude toward your examinations
and don’t worry. Do the best you can, and be contented in the fact that
angels could do no more.

THE NEW SEMESTER AND ITS OPPORTUNITY.

The old semester is practically at an end, and we are soon to begin on
the work of the new. What are we going to make of the next half of our
year’s work?

There are some of us who may look back with pride upon the accom.
plishments of the last four months; there are others who doubtless would
like to forget some sins of commission and of omission. Whether we feel
that we have done well or have failed; there is always room for improve-
ment, and the new semester is an inspiration for increased endeavor in
our college life.

There are so many ways we can improye—our record, both as students,

and as members in our college community for whose advancement we are |

responsible. Let’s determine to make this coming semester a telling one
for its inspiration, its work, its pleasure and its accomplishments.

CHARLOTTE BELL HONORED AGAIN.

Agnes Scott has had more than one honor bestowed upon it in the last
few weeks. In addition to the fact that our College has been admitted to
the Association of American Universities, it has been honored by haying
one of its students asked to serve on the executive committee of the North
American Student Movement, an organiZation which is composed of repre-

Cc. A. of Canada, and the Student Volunteer Movement. Charlotte Bell has
received this honor, which is especially great because there are only two
undergraduate representatives from the Y. W. Cc. A. in all America.

Charlotte has been very prominent in Y. W. C. A. work and has haa|
several honors conferred on her. She has always had her college at |
heart in every step she has taken in this field of work and because of this |
she regrets having to refuse this greatly appreciated invitation. It was
necessary, however, because the date of the meeting in New York is such
that it will be impossible for her to serve on this committee and also at-
tend the meeting of the Student Committee. of the National Board of the |
Y. W. G. A., of which she is an undergraduate member.

In order to do so, it |
might be wise to consider how you may really do yourself justice, by fol-

The World Fellowship department
has charge of one meeting every
month. One of their meetings last
semester was the pageant which evy-
ery one remembers. There will be
another pageant some time this
spring, and the other meetings will
be interesting programs of various
kinds. This department’s problem is
merely one of selection; for its field
is a large one, and unworked.

WHAT WE STAND FOR.

The weeks before and during ex-
ams are often so full of necessary
work and study that we really don’t
have time to think very much; so
the Y. W. has thought for us about
one thing—honor during exams. Stu-
dent Government has urged us to
heed its rules, and has taken them
up in detail, so that there need be
no mistakes. But the Y. W. just

ATTENTION, FRESHMEN!

February 14 is an easy date to re-
because it is Valentine’s
Day. But this year at A. S. C. it is
something else also: it is the day for
Folio tryouts to be in. That is why
vou are called upon to remember an-
other date when history I is already
taxing your brain. When the Sopho-
more members become automatically
excluded at the beginning of the sec-
ond semester, there will be only two
\left; so about a half a dozen will}
have to be taken in. Those who are
already in say they enjoy Folio more
than anything else at Agnes Scott.
The club meets with the different
members on invitation, and usually in
addition to the “feast of reason and

substantial nourishment. It meets
every two weeks; half have stories
one time and the other half the next,
so that each one has to write only
one story a month.

If you like to write, or like to talk,
or like to eat, just use some of your
spare time between now and Valen-
'tine’s Day in writing a story. Maybe
‘the one you had to write for English

THE AGONISTIC

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Darling Aggie:

Guess you thought I'd strayed from
the path like a lot of these other sus-
ceptible jeunes fillies and succumbed
to the wily smiles of a man while at

home. Well, Christmas is a danger-
ous season withal, as the poets say,
but Martha and I were constantly
chaperoned so we are back again, al-
though Carolyn and Ellen and just
heaps of others aren’t. Of course I
meant to write to you as soon as I
reached here, but I’ve been so busy
doing secret service work that I
haven’t had a minute to spare. So
many folks came back with rings and
other amatory evidences that Exec.
asked me to sorter tactful like look
into these affairs and find out if they
were really dangerous or not. I’m a
cat when it comes to lovers—just get
‘em confidential you know—and they
tell me all about it.

Elizabeth Perry let me on to who
gave her that ten pounder of Whit-
man’s and Hazel described to me the
little bungalow they looked at out on
something or other avenue. And Pou
confided in me tremendously—why,
she told me exactly what he said
when he gave her that gorgeous soli-
taire. He’s a humdinger! Wish
some other fellows I know would take

dots from him. Mildred McFall says |

she wishes so, too. Her fellow came
all the way from Texas to see her
while she was at home and then had
the nerve to go back without so
much as hinting at her going with
him. Guess he thought she was
keen on these old B. A.’s and M. A.’s
and Ph. D.’s.

Talking about degrees—you ought
to see Ruth Hall’s little D. D. He’s
swell and so serious. Preachers usu-
ally are, they tell me, when it comes
to women. He writes darling letters
and they aren’t at all religious.
Susie Reid says they can’t beat
Adam's, though, that she got twenty
from him in less than a week. But
personally I don’t believe she could
have gotten that many unless some
of them were her old letters he was
returning.

You knew Blanche Ryan was going
to commit matrimony in February?
Yes, and—this is strictly confidential
—Mildred told me she would too, if
the family could afford two trousseaus
at once. Pete told her it was foolish
|to let a little thing like that stop her,
|that men don’t care anything about
swell clothes. Guess she ought to
know.
That’s one thing I can’t find out to
save me.

Returning to Christmas,
Rachel got fifty

though.
pounds of candy!

Have you heard who he is?)

Yes! .That’s why she hasn’t been
very well since she got back. Of
course Cap sent some of it, but they
tell me he’d better watch his step.
He's not as spry as he used to be on

account of his busted knee, and some-
body down in Montgomery—a Yale
fellow—nearly beat his time while
Rachel was at home.

From all accounts the train is a
mighty good place to make acquaint-
ances. Elizabeth Brown says it cer-
tainly proved her opportunity, and
Dot declares that the next best thing
to a Pullman car is a vacated obser-
vation platform. Virginia) Burum
doesn’t lay much stress on trains,
though, she says that her one “I-Dear”
is of a little yellow roadster.

But this is the biggest news of all,
Aggie. The Prince of Spain has been
to see us! Yes, we are hobnobbing
with the royalty now. They say he’s
married, but then you know they said
Mr. Painter was, too. And Margaret
declares that he isn’t. Well, I’d bet-
ter stop and study for my exams.
Really, Aggie, I am not going to
bother about them very much, though
if I am automatically excluded I can
go back home and carry my Christ-
mas campaign to completion.

of a woodpecker. This latter opinion
is the one which is hurled at the

views.

It was on an occasion like the lat-
ter that Miss Laney made the gratify-
ing discovery that about seventy-five
per cent. of the Freshmen expound-
ing on the subject “Are Examinations
valuable?” gave sound arguments in
the affirmative. Our faith in human
nature will not allow us to question
the motive that lay back of these
opinions. or to doubt that they were
sincere, and not expressed with a
view to A + marks.

But there are some who have not
this sweet and untainted belief in
their fellow men, and now to each
Freshman comes the opportunity of
proving to these sceptics that she
meant what she said when she in-
timated that without that unparal-
leled institution of giving examina-
tions, every student on the campus

VERY WOMAN delights in the coming of Spring, and the first harbingers of this

Platinum and Copper reign side by side as monarchs of the color card, combined with
darker colors and the shades these two, especially Platinum in a variety of soft grey

In one Suit in particular the platinum strands have been cunningly fashioned into an
embroidered motif that gleams against a background of Navy Blue.

Sounds like an appeal for supplies |
to feed another expeditionary force!
Well, it is an appeal for food to feed
an army of our fellow students who
are starving not only for knowledge
but for actual necessities of life that
we daily complain about. While we
are studying in warm comfortable
buildings, and eating good wholesome
food, there are thousands of univer-
sity students in Central Europe who
are trying to live on two scant meals
a day, studying by the flickering
light of one candle and sleeping on
boards. To quote from an authentic
report:

“Students are trying to live on two
meals a day, one of which consists of
black bread and very thin soup.
They are coming home at night to
study in a room without heat, and no
lighting facilities except a candle.
They are trying to keep warm with
their clothing in rags. Two authentic
cases are known of two students who
had gone to bed from hunger and ex-
haustion only to be found dead some
days later.”

Such are conditions in WBurope}
where learning is now more difficult
eyen than warring was in years past. |
Let us not forget these struggling |
students when our opportunity comes |
to help them.

AGNES SCOTT ORGANIZES
DEBATING CLUB.

Other Colleges to Be Asked to
Join.

The latest organization at Agnes
Scott is what is known as Pi Alpha

lated, means “honor to whom honor

is due.”

/we may do our part is by learning

Because Agnes Scott believes in
recognizing valuable work done by any
student, she has organized this hon-
orary society as one means of express-
ing her gratitude to those who have
distinguished themselves in the de-
bating world. The fact that all the
good debaters cannot be chosen to go
to other colleges to represent Agnes
Scott, has led to this organization,
which includes ten of the most faith-
ful and efficient debaters. They have
by their persistent efforts meant a
great deal to their respective societies
and have had an invaluable part in
keeping up the spirit of the work. Out
of. this number the inter-collegiate de-
baters will be chosen,

The following girls are the present

members: Cama Burgess, president;
Anna Marie lLandress, secretary;
Frances Charlotte Markley, Charlotte
Bell, Eleanor Carpenter, Quenelle
Harrold, Nell Buchanan, Ruth Scan-
drett, Martha Stansfield, Caroline
Agee.

This society has originated at Agnes
Scott and plans are being made to
make it a national society by getting
other colleges to form the same s0-
ciety. Only A grade colleges will be
asked to join.

Bach member of the present society
is to debate twice in the preliminaries
for the inter-collegiate debate. Out
of the ten, six girls will be chosen to
go to Randolph-Macon and Sophie
Newcomb to the debate to be held in

April.

Student Conference
To Meet Here
April 12-15

Plans For Entertainment Already
Proposed,

The annual conference of the
Woman's Inter-Collegiate Association
for Student Government of Southern
Colleges will meet at Agnes Scott
from April 12 to 15, Last year it
met at Greensboro, North Carolina.
Agnes Scott, as a member of this
association, sent the two delegates to
which she was entitled, Margaret Mc-
Laughlin and Jean McAllister.
Among the colleges represented are
Hollins, Converse, Sophie Newcomb,
Greensboro, Woman's College of Ala-
bama, Randolph-Macon, Agnes Scott,

Shorter, Mississippi State College,
Sweet Briar, Woman’s College of

Florida and Westhampton.

The purpose of this association is
to discuss the interest of the differ-
ent colleges, for mutual help and sug-
gestion. It gives each college a
wider view-point and many helpful
ideas from other colleges, a result of
a meeting of this kind is the inspira-
tion which comes from meeting to-
gether with girls who are interested
in the same problems, and who are
trying to work to better the faults
which they may find in their respec-
tive associations.

We, as students of Agnes Scott,
should bear in mind that last year
when the representatives of the va-
rious colleges voted for the place of
the 1921 meeting, Agnes Scott re-
ceived two-thirds majority of the
uotes,... The vice-president of. this,
sociation is one of our girls, Mar-
garet McLaughlin. It is our duty to
welcome these delegates and make
them feel that each girl at Agnes
Scott is pleased to have the confer-
ence meet here. The way in which

NATIONAL BOARD OF Y. W.
C. A. MEETS IN NEW
YORK.

Bell Undergraduate
Representative.

Charlotte Bell has again left for
New York to attend a meeting of the
Student Committee of the Y. W. C.
A National Board, on which she is
undergraduate representative. Char-
lotte was accompanied by Janef Pres-
ton, who is going to attend the meet-
ing, although in no official capacity
Janef is getting a holiday trip from
her father, after the strenuous exams.

This meeting of the National Stu-
dent Committee lasts from the sixth
to the tenth of February. Besides
the representative of our South At-
lantic field, (composed of Agnes
Scott, Randolph-Macon, Hollins, etc.)
there will be ten other student secre-
taries. The conference will be par-
ticularly notable since this is the
first time that undergraduate mem-
bers have met with the National
Committee. The purpose of the con-
ference is to consider phases of the
National Student Movement and to
make plans for the year’s work.

At the same time there will be the
Industrial Conference of the Y. W
CG. A., which will probably hold joint
sessions with the Student Staff Con-
ference. The Industrial Conference
will have one Industrial girl repre-

sentative from each of the eleven
fields in the United States, and is ex-
pected to add much interest to the

provide all the new girls with our
little purple and white hand-books so
that they can become familiar with
the rules and regulations, and the
way we do things.

By this time we are hoping these

longer, but perfectly at home, and
just as glad to be here at A. S. C. as
A. 8. GC. is to have them. ;

next Saturday night, for something
nice is usually planned. There is a
treat in store for us on the twelfth

going to give the students a Valen-

decorated to suit the occasion. An
orchestra from town is coming out
and dancing will be the chief feature,
although other things are being
planned for those who do not dance.

Alabama Glee Club
Here Saturday Night

Fntertained At a Reception After
The Program.

On Saturday night, February 5,
Agnes Scott had another musical
treat in the Glee Club from the Uni-
versity of Alabama which gave a
most pleasing program in the chapel.
The platform was beautifully deco.
rated with ferns and potted plants,
but the best decorations for the
Agnes Scott girls were the several
rows of dress suits seated on the
stage, upon whom every eye was cen-
tered.

The musie was splendid, and the
entire program was most effectively
rendered. The boys were generous
with their encores, and were called
back again and again. Wspecially en-
joyable were the selections by the
“string band,”

The Alabama Glee Club is one of
the most popular music clubs that
has ever been herve. It has had six-
teen successful seasons and is more
in demand every year. We were for-
tunate in having it at Agnes Scott
this year.

After the entertainment, the Agnes
Scott Glee Club and Orchestra held
a reception for the boys in the so-
ciety halls, to which girls: who had
friends among the visiting boys were
invited. At this informal reception
the boys and girls became acquainted
over their coffee and sandwiches, and
had a most enjoyable time.

Already, we are anticipating a re-
turn trip from the Alabama Glee Club
for next year, aud hope they will not|
disappoint us. . |

SILHOUETTE TO BE COM-
PLETED BY APRIL.

All Articles Ready For Press.

One thing that Agnes Scott girls
have been hearing about ever since
they arrived here last September is
the Silhouette. Work was be-
gun on the annual during the very
first week of last semester. Every
of the day Mary Anne Justice
could be seen, kodak in hand, collect-
ing for a snapshot, now a small group
of frightened Freshmen, now a band
of Sophomores, and less frequently
a number of Juniors and Seniors. |
Then, after this had been done, a
photographer from McCrary’s in At-
lanta frightened the gym classes and |
the tea-room visitors with the loud)
report and the cloud of black smoke |
which accompany the taking of in-
door pictures. Then, the constant
click of Frances Charlotte Markley’s
typewriter and her frequent visits to
town have aroused the interest of the |
entire student body. In fact, every-|
body is eager to know when the an-|
nual is coming out.

Frances Charlotte Markley brought |
the welcome news this week that the
publishers will be able to complete
The cuts for
the pictures and the subject matter
have been handed in and both are
now ready for the press. The early
publication of the annual is due to the
fact that it is the first annual to be
printed by the publishing company
this year.

Some of the best efforts of our}
Agnes Scott authors and artists are |
in the 1921 annual. Rachel Rushton
wrote the history of the Senior class
and Martha Laing the prophecy. Stu-
dent Government is ably represented
by Margaret McLaughlin. Anna
Marie Landress, one of our student
volunteers, is the author of an inter-
esting article on the work of the vol-
unteer band at Agnes Scott. The
French Club is brought to notice by
its president, Dleanor Carpenter.
Janef Preston, Ethel Ware, Frances
Charlotte Markley and Frances Har-
per also contributed articles.

The Freshman class is represented,
too. Margaret Powell is the author
of the history of the Freshman class.

of a Freshman.” Minnie Allen and

approaching inter-collegiate debates.
The question for the triangular de.
bates in April has been decided. Ran-

the triangle, chose the subject. It is

The mid-year try-outs for Black-
friars have been announced for Mon-
day, Pebruary 14th, to be held in the

those girls who entered Agnes Scott
during the 1920-1921 term, and to
such other students as shall be ap-
proved by the committee on admis:

given Freshmen for displaying their
dramatic ability, and it is anticipated
that they will make a remarkable
show of talent which has previously
had no opportunity for being dis-

selections may be made for the try-
outs is posted on the student govern-
ment bulletin board in Main Building,
and is as follows:

STUDENT VOLUNTEER CON-
FERENCE IN MARCH.

Agnes Scott is planning to send
fifteen delegates to the Student Vol-
unteer conference which meets at
Piedmont College, Demerest, Georgia,
March 4-6. There will be more than
a hundred and fifty Georgia students
present who have signed the Asso-
ciation’s card. There will be as
many or more who are merely inter-
ested non-volunteers. Of Agnes
Scott’s delegation only about seven
are pledged.

We are especially interested in the
fact that Miss Julia Lake Skinner,
on executive board member who has
been the chief inspiration of many a
student volunteer and who is looked
forward to as one of the best speak-
ers on the program, is an old Agnes
Seott girl. Mr. J. Foster Barnes is
known to a number of Agnes Scott
girls, too, who realize what it means
for him to have charge of the music.
He has promised a generous number
of solos. There will be in addition

The opening night is to be given
over to a great missionary pageant

to be presented by Wesleyan Col-
lege. Those who know say that it is
truly an impressive spectacle, pre-

senting graphically the present sit-
uation on the mission fields in gen-
eral.

At every session there will be a
gigantic poster display, calculated to
impress indelibly upon the minds of
the delegates the facts given out dur-
ing the conference. These posters
have been made by the Student Vol-
unteers during the fall and winter,
and have been very carefully se-
lected. After the convention they
are to be sent to all the schools in
Georgia on an exhibition tour, so
that even those who cannot go to
Demerest can get some of the spirit
of the conference.

During the whole time from Friday
to Sunday there are to be denomina-
tional literature tables covered with
vital, up-to-date, and reliable informa-

will be the members of the Meth-

there every afiernoon until school is

over the approaching preliminaries. Agnes Scott must win this year, must
win the debate both here and at Randolph-Macon.

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Dearest Aggie:

I haven't written sooner because
my mind has been occupied by more
serious subjects than letters, namely,
French, Latin, History, English,
Math., Philosophy, Greek and all the
rest. Yes, they were horrible and
even yet the agony is not over, for
grades are just coming in and until
everybody finds out what she made
in everything and then finds out what
everyone else made in everything,
there won’t be any peace for any-
one!

But some lucky folks got through
early last week and went home.
That was too good to be true—for me
anyway, for as you may have noticed
I didn’t come. Grace Boone and
Mary Mann both took visitors home
with them and from all their accounts
Newnan must be a regular town and
they must have had some time

M. E. Arnold went home too. She
couldn’t bear to leave Margaret here
alone to finish her exams, but Mar-
garet said that was all right, because
Bob’s daily letter took up all her
spare time to read it and she really
wouldn’t be lonely one bit, so M. BE.
went home with a clear conscience
and had a grand time.

We were all so sorry that Sarah
Bryan decided she loved home bet-
ter than A. S. C.—not that she loved
home better ‘cause we all do of
course, but that she loved A. S. C.
less and went to Rome (Georgia y’

for the week-end and added several
scalps to her string.

Elma Swaney has decided that it is
quite romantic to look like someone
else—when you look so much like
said person that an elderly(?) gentle-
man on the train says you look ex-
actly like his daughter. The fact
that the “elderly” gentleman is very
handsome and has coal-black hair,
has absolutely nothing to do with it
of course.

During exams, Agnes Scott has
welcomed several new girls. They’re
all so attractive that we are awfully
glad they decided to come, even if
it did take them a whole semester to
make up their minds.

Flora W., one’ of our new girls,
seems to have begun her stay here
quite “auspiciously” (it’s in the Dic
tionary, I think, Aggie) for as she
stepped off of the train a man took
her in charge and assured the college
girls who had come to meet her that
he would see her to the college, after
he had taken her to lunch,

If you could have a date with a cute
boy or go to the picture show with
some girls, which would you do, Ag-
gie? Date? Well, so would I, but
Catherine Denny preferred the moy-
ies the other day. [| think she’s the

CUPID’S BOW.

“Tf Cupid’s Bow on Valentines
Can’t turn your steady head
Then shake the same and truly

say,

“For me Romance is Dead.”’

A frilly crimson postage stamp said
with a sticky sigh, “While I sweet
words of love convey romance can
never die,” And this in spite of
cynics, all who gloomily do deem
that everything’s a foolish farce and
life’s an empty dream. Perhaps with
this deluded throng you _ readily
agree, and think that life is void of
all its zest and vim and glee. But if
you think that Cupid shuns the doors
of Agnes Scott, just peel your eye
and you will see he’s strictly on the
dot. Just keep your senses all alert
as you go down the hall and pass the
‘phone and special pad that flutters
on the wall. To think that every line
inscribed stands out from all the rest
to cause a thrilling flutter in some
happy maiden’s breast! And as you
wade between the lines that wait to
use the "phone, you'll see most stu-
dents’ aim is not eternally to bone;
that every type from fluffy blondes to

dashing, tall brunettes, from social
belles and butterflies to shrinking
violets, hold hope eternal in their

hearts, contentment in their eye. You
neyer could bring them to think that
sentiment will die.

And though romance comes every
day from Autumn until Spring, there
is, as some old sage has said, a time

You know Mary Robb Finney?
Well, she went over to University of

Last Saturday night the Alabama
Glee Club came and, Aggie, they are
the cutest boys you ever laid your
two eyes on. The music was simply
wonderful and, although Valentine
Day is still about ten days off, Cupid
was busy as usual and many new
conquests were made. The reception
afterwards was as big a success as
ever and honestly you never saw so
many adorable evening frocks in all
your life, and flowers! Well, corsages

FRESHMEN ANSWERS ON HY-
GIENE EXAM.

Dr. Sweet is seriously considering
the immediate publication of a new
book on Hygiene, to be compiled from
the examinations submitted by the
class of '24. Some of the questions
and their answers are here printed.

Q. Why is public hygiene more im-
portant than individual?

A. In public hygiene we learn
just the same thing as in individual
hygiene, and is therefore just as im-
portant. In public hygiene we might
learn some things that mght have
been omitttd in individual hygiene.
A. If public hygiene is not looked
after and cared for then it spreads
easier than individual hygiene.
Teeth hygiene is important because it
can spread just the same as typhoid
or any other disease, but not hardly
so quickly.

The Blackfriars will have their an-

from before Christmas until early
March, probably at East Lake Coun-
try Club, after the new members have
been taken in. The past has proved
these to be always gala occasions,
and the prospect of participating in
the grand affair this vear should be
an added incentive to those girls
who hope to “make” Blackfriars.
Already, one earnest aspirant has
selected the role in which she is to
appear before her first critical au-
dience, and has begun work on it.
Wisely evading the inevitable pro-
tests of friend room-mate, she picks
her most advantageous moments and
steals stealthily out on to a secluded
corner of the roof where she is free
to raise her arms heavenward and

protest in well modulated, yet tragic

tones, against the ill fate of unre-
quited love. This is proof positive
that genius is burning in our midst,
and with such encouragement, Black-
friars are looking forward to a num.

Scott had the pleasure of attending a
session of the convention then being
held by the National League of
Women’s Voters.

Miss Eleanor Raoul, chairman of
the Atlanta League, came to the col-
lege last week, made a short talk in
chapel, and offered to reserve seats for
as many Agnes Scott girls as cared to
attend Wednesday’s meeting. The So-
ciology classes were especially inter-
ested in going.

In her address to us that morning,
Miss Raoul briefly stated the purposes
of the League. They hold that since
woman has now gained the vote, and
since her help is greatly needed for
good government, she should feel the
responsibilities of citizenship and be
taught how to bear its burdens effi-
ciently. Education of women for their
citizenship duties is the aim of the
League.

The Wednesday evening session
opened at eight o’clock with Mrs. Pat-
tie Ruffner Jacobs, treasurer of the
National League of Women Voters,
presiding. The first speaker was Miss
Catherine Waugh McCulloch, whose
subject was “The Unification of Laws.”
Miss McCulloch is one of the most dis-
tinguished women of America and
proved especially interesting to Agnes
Scott since she is a personal friend of
Mrs. Fitz-Hugh, of our faculty.

The second speaker was Miss Mary
McDowell of Chicago, whose topic was
“Government and the Garbage Ques-
tion.” Miss McDowell is chairman of
the committee on Women in Indus-
try, and she has perhaps done more
than any woman to better the gar-|
bage conditions in Chicago.

The third speaker of the evening
was Mrs. Maud Wood Park, of Wash-
ington. Mrs. Park is chairman of the
National League of Women Voters.
Her subject was “Co-ordination of
Work of Women Voters and Other
Womens Organizations.”

After hearing the lecture, Agnes
Scott will be interested in knowing
that Miss Raoul has asked permission
to come out and organize a branch
chapter of the Atlanta League, of
which we can all be members, Miss}
Raoul will probably be with us next
week for this purpose.

SIGNS OF SPRING ON THE

CAMPUS.
Spring is here at last. At least it is

safe on the way with no danger that
the train will break down, and little
possibility that it will be late. The
signs of the weather are infallible; the
onlooker sees too many to be mistaken.

New spring hats are always irrev-
ocable proof. Quite a good many are|
seen in the crowds turning church-
ward, or Atlanta-ward, or date-ward.
Beautiful, stiffly starched, white middy
suits, the decided reappearance of
cheerful-looking ginghams, the ab-
sence of coats and wraps, except per-
haps springy white sweaters—these all
point to one delightful conelusion.

As nature herself could not afford
to appear behind the times, a hike in
her woods or just a wide-awake view
of things around the campus will show
the presence of numerous twittering
birds and budding spring-time flow-
ers. But even more emphatic still
have been the almost incessant April
showers! The touch of rather unusual
heat is another undeniable witness of
the new season.

But Agnes Scott girls have their own
ways of keeping up with the times, in
this case approaching spring yacation.
That tired uninterested look in recita-
tions, that dreamy glancing out of the
windows into outrof-doors’ freedom,

that careless whiling away of hours
with story books of Cinderella and Sir
Knight, are an unerring sign of return-
ing spring and much-looked-for holi-

days.

Agnes Scott Suggests
Change In Inter-Col-
legiate > Question

NOW AWAITING APPROVAL
OF THE OTHER COLLEGES.

At last the question for the inter-
collegiate debates has been passed on
by Agnes Scott. Randolph-Macon sent
in a suggestion for the question, as it
was her privilege to do so.

The question as submitted was con-

sidered rather vague and ill defined, so|

the Agnes Scott Debating Council has
taken the privilege of revising it and
sending it back to Randolph-Macon.
This suggested change must be ap-
proved by both Randolph-Macon and
Sophie Newcomb before it is final.

The question with its suggested
change stands thus:

Resolved: That in every railroad
controversy threatening the public
convenience, the Railroad Board, as

constituted in the Transportation Act
of 1920, be required to make an investi-
gation of the case and render a de-
cision binding on all parties to the
dispute.

Of course, it is understood that this
question may not stand in this way.
It is only a suggestion and may not be
changed from the original, However,
work upon this question as defined by
the Debating Council will be begun by
the ten members chosen by the Coun-
cil.

Although this is a new question and
different from any ever given, it is ex-
tremely clear and easy to define, and
promises to make an interesting de-
bate.

FACULTY PLAY TO BE PRE-
SENTED.

Date About Feb. 26.

We are soon going to have the op-
portunity of again seeing a faculty
play. What the production will be
has not been fully decided, but it’s sure
to prove interesting and entertaining.
The date for the presentation of the
play is also uncertain, but it is now
thought that it will be about the 26th.

“All the girls who have ever seen the
plays in which the faculty took part
know that a faculty play is one of the
never-to-be-forgotten occasions of the
year, and all the girls who haven't
seen one will know this when the an-
ticipated play comes off.

The faculty are always sure of a
large and appreciative audience at any
of their presentations, and this year

| will prove no exception to the rule.

This will be especially true if the cast
contains the names of certain faculty
stars who have already made their
name at Agnes Scott, among them Mr.
Stukes and Miss Torrence, Dr.
Armistead and Miss Alexander. The
year would not be complete without a
play by the professors, and we antici-
pate the twenty-sixth with a great deal
of pleasure.

DR. GAINES AND DR, McCAIN
RETURN FROM NEW
YORK.

Report Satisfactory and Pleas-
; ant Trip.

Dr. Gaines and Dr. McCain have re-
cently returned from a trip to New
York where they went to make ar-
rangements for next year. They left
Feb. 1 and returned last Thursday
after having completed all arrange-
ments for next session. The trip is
an annual one for Dr. Gaines, as he
makes it about this time every year
for many purposes concerning the col-
lege, such as supplying vacancies in
the faculty, and transacting business
with the National Board of Education,
which has recently made liberal of-
fers toward our Endowment Fund.

Dr. MeCain accompanied Dr. Gaines
in the interest of the endowment cam-
paign which we hope soon to close sat-
isfactorily.

WANTING IS—WHAT?

Wanting is—what?
Summer redundant,
Blueness abundant—
Where is the blot?

Beamy the world, yet a blank
all the same—

Frame work which waits for a
picture to frame:

What of the leafage, what of the
flower?

Roses embowering with naught
they embower!

Come then, complete incomple-
tion, comer,

Pant through the blueness, per-
fect the summer!
Breathe but one breath,
Rose-beauty above,
And all that was death
Shows life, grows love,

Grows love!

Mrs. McCulloch Speaks
At A. S. €.

Talks on Woman’s Place in
Politics.

Agnes Scott has been especially for-
tunate this year in hearing many
gifted speakers. One of the most
prominent of these was Mrs. Catherine
Waugh McCulloch, who addressed the
student body at the chapel hour on
Thursday morning with an interesting
lecture.

The theme of this lecture was pri-
marily concerning woman's place in
politics. The subject is a vital one,
and should be of especial interest to
those students of Agnes Scott who
have the privilege of exercising the
ballot, small though that number may
be. Mrs. McCulloch is well versed in
the subject, and is a person well fitted
to deal with it. She is a staunch ad-
vyocate of woman suffrage, and has
held many important offices in connec-
tion with it.

Mrs. McCulloch is a graduate of
Rockford College, Illinois, and it is in-
teresting to note that she was a class-
mate of the famous Jane Adams. She
is a lawyer of national repute, and has
figured largely in public affairs. She
is one of the few women who have been
admitted to the bar of the Supreme
Court. Agnes Scott considers itself
both honored and fortunate in having
been permitted the privilege of hear-
ing Mrs. McCulloch, and getting the
benefit of her broad views on the vital
question of woman suffrage.

BLACKFRIARS TO PRESENT
TWO PLAYS FEB. 21.

One of the best of the many treats
which February promises to bring to
Agnes Scott is the presentation by
Blackfriars of two plays. These are
entitled, “Our Aunt from California”
and “Everybody’s Husband,” and are
to be given on the night of February
21. The casts for the plays have al-
ready been selected and rehearsing has
begun under the supervision of Miss
Frances Gooch, teacher.

“Our Aunt from California,” the first
of the two, is a farce comedy by M.
D. Barnum. The plot is a very amus-
ing one. Three girls are expecting a
visit from their wealthy aunt whom
they have never seen. The object of
the aunt’s visit is to choose one of her
nieces as a companion for a journey
abroad. Each of the girls directs all
her energies toward charming the
wealthy lady and each thinks that she
will be chosen. The aunt arrives, looks
the girls over, and The Black-
friars will tell you the aunt’s choice.
In the cast for this play are Mary
Knight, Jeanette Archer, Ruth Pirkle,
Polly. Stone, Marion Cawthon and
Beth McLure.

“Byverybody’s Husband” is a fantasy
which deals with the modern concep-
fion of marriage. In it the girl dreams
of what marriage has been to the
woman in the Nineteenth Century and
of what it may mean to her in the
Twentieth Century. One of the charm-
ing features will be the appearance of
the heroine in bridal attire. Frances

Club

BANQUET HELD AT PEA-
COCK’S.

A special chorus picked from the
Agnes Scott Glee Club sang at the ban-
quet of the Kiwanis Club last Tuesday,
Feb. 8. The chorus was composed of
Lucile Smith, Charlotte Keesler, Lilian
McAlpine (sopranos); Romola Davis,
Elizabeth Lockhart, Sara Matthews
(second sopranos); Caroline Moody,
Nell Eslinger and Margaret McLaugh-
lin (altos). z

The chorus rode gaily to town in
three big cars, driven by members of
the Kiwanis Club, The banquet was
in progress on the third floor of the
Peacock’s cafe when they arrived. The
end of a long table, simply groaning
with good things to eat, was reserved
for them, and the girls enjoyed every
minute of it. The Kiwanians filled at
least six long tables, extending the
whole length of the room.

Presently the president of the club
arose and rapped loudly with his gavel.
A little business took place, then the
chorus sang one or two selections, be-
ginning with “Kiwanis, Kiwanis, we
greet you with our song,” which
seemed to please them greatly. Again
business was in order, and two or three
members made some yery humorous
speeches. Interspersed with this were
various selections by the chorus or the
string quartet. Mr. Johnston stood be-
hind and directed and Mrs. Johnson’s
accompaniments were lovely, as usual,
so everything went off smoothly.

Three big pots of flowers, with
dozens of cut roses, suddénty appeared
on our table during the program, and
afterwards the men begged us to “just
help ourselves.” That’s why the chorus
startled a few loiterers at A. S. C.
Tuesday afternoon by motoring home
in state, laden with. their “spoils,”
lovely pink and white roses.

Then, hark ye, all. ye maidens who
love flowers. Hasten to develop a
“voice,” and ye shall also ride to town,
and have flowers given to you, too.

K. U. B. RAISES MONEY FOR
DR. MORTON.

Donations Solicited.

As none of the other organizations
on the campus seemed able to do so,
the K. U. B. has undertaken to take
eare of the money which is being
raised for Dr. Rosalie Morton’s Serbian
Student Fund.

To start the ball of charity rolling,
K. U. B. sacrificed its engraved station-
ery and subscription to a magazine on
journalism to give the money, in
amount twenty-five dollars ($25), to Dr.
Morton. No appeal was made to the
other organizations for aid, but it is
expected that the Y. W. C. A. will wish
to join K. U. B. in its donation, Sev-
eral contributions from both faculty
and students, have been received and
more are expected.

Anyone wishing to send money to
Dr. Morton is requested to see Eleanor
Hyde as soon as possible.

Markley, Sarah Fulton, Charlotte Kees-
ler, Frances Oliver and Hleanor Hyde
|will have ample opportunity to show
their dramatic ability in this fantasy.

As an added inducement for a large
attendance Miss Gooch has announced

that a real man will play a leading
part in “Everybody’s Husband.” Who
this is to be is a secret which will be
disclosed only on the night of the
performance. The suspicious glances
which are already being thrown on
every man who comes on the campus
prove that a lively interest is being
shown in the matter.

All the productions which the Black-
friars offer are good, but these two

promise to be especially attractive and |

will afford a fitting beginning for the
holiday on the twenty-second. Every-
body should plan to go to the chapel at
eight o’clock and settle down for a few
hours’ enjoyment.

Chorus From Agnes A. S. C. Establishes
Scott Sings At Kiwanis | Branch Of International

Relations Club

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF
ALL BRANCHES HELD.

It will be of interest to Agnes Scott
to learn of a new organization that
has been formed here—the Interna-
tional Relations Club. The object is to
be the scientific study (in a thorough,
non-partisan spirit and devoid of any
propagandist aim) of the ‘current in-
ternational problems that confront us,
The interest in the foreign problems
of the United States is already waning
throughout the country. This situa-
tion will continue since it is almost
inevitable that in a great democracy
like ours only a comparatively small
minority of the people will be deeply
interested in international affairs. It
would seem natural that the colleges
and universities of the country should
provide the necessary instruction, and
so these clubs have been organized all
over the country under the supervision
of the Institute of International Edu-
cation.

The local clubs are to be under the
supervision of a member’ of the faculty
of the college who will be responsible
for guiding the reading and discussion
of the members. Miss Hearon is the
supervisor of the club here, which is
made up of the members of History 9
class. It is required that the club
have certain officers and the following
have been elected: President, Roberta
Love; vice-president, Dorothy Allen;
secretary and treasurer, Sarah Har-
rison.

The Institute provides the club in
each college with the sylabi, bibliogra-
phies, books, magazines and literature
generally for the study of the prob-
lems. Already quite a number of
books have been received and are to
be placed in the Library. They are all
eoncerning questions about which we
should be interested.

The club will be visited from time
to time by distinguished foreigners or
American professors who are author-
ities in the field of international rela-
tions and who will address the mem-
bers of the club and the student body
upon their special subject. A letter

has just been received in which we

are promised two speakers. Bishop
Nicholai, of the Greek Orthodox
Church, is to speak on Serbia, March
3, and Professor William Kimball, of
Smith College, will be here March 30
to discuss with us the Mexican situa-
tion. There will be held an annual
conference of representatives of the va-
rious clubs to consider in the light of
the year’s experience ways and means
of increasing the efficaey of the work.

A deep interest has been aroused
among the students, and a great many
colleges all over the country haye
joined. Among the institutions that
are members are:

Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa.

Barnard College, New York City.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

CLEANER CAMPUS CAMPAIGN.

The campus here at Agnes Scott belongs to each of us, and we are re-
sponsible for its appearance. When visitors come to see the college it is
often quite embarrassing to have them see orange peelings, papers and
eyen tin cans that the girls have carelessly thrown from their windows,
scattered around on the grounds. It reflects discredit on us as indi-
viduals as well as the college, and yet we do clutter up the campus so
thoughtlessly.

7 a

It’s very easy to throw a piece of scratch paper out of the window in- |

stead of walking across the room to put it in the waste basket, and you
may think that such a little bit couldn’t possibly hurt anything. But when
you multiply that piece of paper by four hundred, and then realize that there
are about two hundred and seventy days in which girls can clutter up the
campus, you can understand why the grounds under the dormitory win-
dows sometimes look like a back alley.

If every girl would take it as her personal responsibility to think about
beautifying our college instead of impairing its beauty, the problem would
be solved. As college women, we should be sufficiently old and thoughtful
to consider that we have that responsibility. Let’s start a campaign for a
cleaner campus—and let’s start it today.

OBSERVE TELEPHONE RATES.

The telephones at Agnes Scott belong to the students as a whole, and
in order for them to derive the most benefit from them, it has been found
necessary to make certain rules and regulations. The girls evidently forget
these rules, for complaint after complaint has been made because of their
non-observance.

In the first place, girls are not supposed to use the students’ phone
in main building for more than three consecutive minutes if someone is
waiting on it. This rule has been published and announced, and yet it is
repeatedly broken. Each student realizes the inconvenience that she is put
to when she is waiting on the "phone, but if she happens to be using it, she
often forgets the girl who it waiting her turn. Let’s try to put ourselves
in the other fellow’s place, and be as considerate of them as you want them
to be of you. When a girl stays in the booth more than three minutes, it is
a direct violation of the student government rules, and should be punished
by a knock.

Another way that girls have been violating the telephone rules is in
not awaiting their turn to use the "phone. If you come down late, it is
only right that those who have been waiting should use the phone before
you do, and it is not only a breach of rules for you to take somebody's place,
but a decided breach of etiquette.

These telephone regulations may seem of little consequence, but they
are necessary, and the principle which unlerlies them is as important as
any of the student government rules we have.

In upholding or breaking these rules, we show the light in which we
regard our entire self-government association, and we also show whether we
are willing to think of the convenience of others or not. Let’s realize that
it is important to observe telephone rules, and let’s not talk over our al-

lotted time.

HABITS.

It is just as easy to form good habits as it is to form bad ones. Right
now, while we are in ¢ollege, we are passing through a very telling period of
our life, when the habits which we form may get a good hold upon us. Be-
fore we let ourselves get used to doing things the wrong way, it would be
well to try to get into the habit of doing things right. Here are a few
things we ought to practice on until they become habitual:

1. Promptness.—Get to chapel and to lectures on time. Don’t always be
the last one to straggle into dinner, or into churéh. Be on time for engage-
ments in town.

2. Friendliness.—Speak. to everybody you meet.
ter for a cheery “Hello” and a smile.

3. Interest in College Life—Don’t become.so- wrapped up in your work

(Continued on page 4.)

You’ll feel all the bet-

THE AGONISTIC

Y. W. C. A. LIBRARY.
What book did you enjoy most dur-
ing the holidays? Can you give it to

the Y. W. C. A.’s new library?

Cabinet, deciding that Y. W. cannot
have a reading room without books,
wants to fill the book shelves in the
new committee room. But the Y. W.
must offer good reading only, hence the
books most desired are those which
some have read and liked. Probably a
great many other girls would like
your favorite book. Can you write
home for it, or buy it in town, and give
it to the new library? Think of a li-
brary where, instead of taking re-
quired notes, you sit and toast your
toes by a grate fire, and, curled up in
a big chair, read a good new book.

If you have a book to contribute,
give it to Janef Preston or to Mary
McLelland.

GIRL RESERVES.
Our Y. W. C. A. has no direct con-

nection with the Y. W. in Atlanta, but
many of the student body are unoffi-
cially connected with it, and it keeps
us conscious of the breadth of Y. W.
work to think every once in a while
of what they are doing.

Last fall Miss Brace, Girls’ Work
Secretary of the Atlanta Y. W. C. A.,
came out here and gave everyone a

chance to be advisor for a club of Girl
Reserves. Those who took clubs have
been repaid in good times and in wider
interests.

Last Friday night the Y. W. gave
a mother-and-daughter banquet which
a number of Agnes Scott girls at-
tended with their clubs. The delicious
supper was followed by an entertaining
program of stunts which smacked
loudly of Agnes Scott gym parties.

Work with grade school girls and
high school freshmen is beyond ques-
tion interesting, because every week
you see yourself as you were two or
three years ago, But aside from the
present enjoyment—which is not un-
mixed with drudgery—there is the
valuable experience in dealing with
people. It will be a help to you if you
ever teach, or if you are looking for-
ward to Y. W. C. A. or welfare work
in the summer or after you get out of
school, If_you can plan some Girl
Reserve work with your course next
year, you will not regret it.

QUIET IN CHAPEL,
Shoo-00-00! When Miss Agnes goes
to Y. W. meeting on Sunday evening,
she is reverent and quiet; and yet
when she goes to chapel in the very
same place, she is gaily talkative, and
carries her worldly interests right in

with her.

Of course, the Y. W. realizes
that chapel comes at a busy time, that
it is a very brief interruption to a

morning of classes. But just in so far
as we forget classes and think the
thoughts of Him who knows all things,
will chapel do us the good and give
us the strength it is intended to. He

says, “Be still, and know that I am
God,”

DO YOU GO?
Some girls go to Evening Watch, but

just about the same group goes every
time. After all it is largely a matter
of habit whether you go or not. But
there are many girls who never have
been, and consequently don’t know at
all what Evening Watch is, All of
these should go at least once, or they
will miss one of the experiences of an
Agnes Scott girl. Evening Watch is
the most informal of all the services
held here. It is a time when girls get
together and see the really serious side
of each other’s natures. You can ad-
mire almost any girl a little when you
know her best. If you haven’t come
yet, you can’t claim the excuse that
you hate to stay dressed until lights
are out; just put on your kimona, and
bring someone with you next Friday
night when the whistle blows.

ALUMNAE VISITORS

Among the alumnae visitors at
Agnes Scott recently have been Clara
Cole and Eugenia Pou. Sarah Davis
spent a few days with us not long ago,
and Ruth Crowell was at the college
during the greater part of last week.

Margaret Bland and Lois McIntyre
run out real often to pay the college
a short visit, and everyone is always
mighty glad to see them.

Marion Park was back not long ago,
and stayed a week with Pearl Lowe
Hamner.

It’s always mighty good to see the
alummae, and we hope they'll come
often.

THE AGONISTIC

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Dearest Aggie:

Business is dull around here; every-
body’s sleepy, and it has been raining
—it is raining, and from all appear-
ances it will continue to rain indef-
initely. We feel “kinder” let down
after the excitement of having a “full
dress-suited” glee club here with all
the thrill of the reception and dates
afterwards. You know I told you the
Alabama Glee Club came last Satur-
day night; well, so did Selma’s “true
love,” and fro mall appearances they
were mighty glad to see each other.
That old saying, absence makes the
heart grow fonder,” may be true, but
Jimmy doesn’t take any stock in it
for nearly every night he comes out
to see if Nelle Frances looks the same
as she did the night before. Yes, he
has a mustache now, but Nelle
Frances does not like it, so I don’t
suppose he will have it any more.

Annie E. received a thrill when she
received through the mail a picture of
“Him” with the loving inscription,
“With love, Jimmy.” (Oh, he’s a dif-
ferent Jimmy.) Marguerite said, well,
she had plenty of pictures, but a big
box of pink roses was different. You
know, that girl gets flowers all the
time. I’m going to ask her if he has

a brother who isn’t spoken for.

Guess what Margaret C. got the
other day? A telegram!
tle friend of mine happened to see
what he said: “Received your special;
glad to get it. Bob.’ Now, Aggie, I
ask you, did you ever hear of anyone
getting a telegram to let one know
that he had received a special? I
never heard of such attention before in
all my life. Ain’t life and telegrams
and—love grand?

Alice Carr’s father came Sunday and
made his daughter happy for the day.
Of course, Alice hated to see him leave
so soon, but it is “better to have come
and gone than never to have come at
all.”

Now, Brooks and Jeanette wanted to
see how other colleges do the trick, so
they spent last week-end at Shorter.
Said they had a grand time, but
Agnes for them every time!

Lucy and Margaret are certainly the
lucky dogs! They went to town the
other afternoon with two darling Em-
ory boys. Two K. A.’s, gee! Don't
you know they were thrilled to death!
I would be, wouldn’t you, Aggie? But
I'm afraid they never would take me
but once.

Did you hear about Billy H.? Well,

And a lit-/

he was one of the cutest men on the
A. Glee Club and more girls fell for
him—flat, too, at first sight. Um-huh!
Dorothy sighed rapturously whenever
he gazed her way and was stricken
speechless (an unusual happening)
after he had concluded his second en-
core.

The little new cabinet room was the
most attractive thing you ever saw the
other night. when the Social commit-
tee had their party for the new girls.
They toasted marshmallows over an
open fire and E, Hyde played college
tunes on her guitar. Hot chocolate
and sandwiches were served and all
the new girls seemed to be enjoying
“their” party to the fullest.

I wish I could tell you what hap-
pened to Gertrude S. the other day.
It’s “sorter” mysterious—something
about getting behind a screen in her
room and hollering “come in” and—
well, she wouldn't tell me the rest, and
you know me, I’m simply dying of
curiosity now!

Well, I must stop now and make my
costume for the Irregular Valentine
masquerade ball. Wish you were go-
ing to be here.

As ever,
GIDDIE.

MNEMOSYNEANS HOLD
MOCK DEBATE,

“Ts Love at First Sight True
Love?”’

“Ts love at first sight true love?”
What are your sentiments on the sub-
ject?

If you have none you should have
been present at the Mnemosyhean de-
bate last Saturday night. The affirm-
ative was ably upheld by Miss Eula
Russell and Miss Mary Louise Green,
while the negative enthusiasts were
Miss Bleanor Hyde and Miss Frances
Harper.

The arguments were most convinc-
ing, especially those given by Miss
Green, who, sacrificing her own per-
sonal feelings to the cause, exposed the
deepest feelings of her innermost heart
convincing most of us absolutely and
without reserve that love at first sight
is the only true love.

But upholding the negative was an
equally strong argument to the con-
trary, and Miss Eleanor Hyde, fittingly
gowned for the occasion, assured us
that only after one has known the
other party for many months, or better
for many years, could one rightly judge
of her sentiments.

Miss Russell and Miss Harper also
gaye us many strong points uphold-
ing their respective views and only
after a long and heated argument was
the decision rendered in favor of the
negative by a majority of one vote.

So, fair damsels, if you do not make
the impression you might wish on first
acquaintance, take heart, for only after
many meetings may you hope to be-
come kindred souls.

TAIN SATURDAY NIGHT.

Masked Ball Huge Success.

The valentine masked ball given in
the gymnasium by the Irregular class
was pronounced a wonderful success

by every one. The costumes were
lovely, and in the half light, the dif-
ferent colors in the dance made a beau-
tiful scene.

An orchestra had been engaged from
town, and the girls enjoyed the good
music very much. The floor was
crowded with couples. Early in the
evening, favors were distributed, the
girls who led getting little arrows,
while those who followed were given
cupids.
solo dances were giyen for the enjoy-
ment of the guests.

The decorations were beautiful, red
hearts being strung around, and the
entire hall looking very “valentiney”
and inviting. One of the most attract-
ive features of the evening was the
little cupid that ran around among the
guests, much to the delight of every-
one. A prize was given to the girl
who had on the most attractive cos-
tume, the successful one being Ruth
Price.

Lovely refreshments were served at
a late hour, and soon afterwards the
orchestra played “Home, Sweet
Home.” The girls told their hostesses
good-night and thanked them for a
very lovely time.

The party was a great success, and
the Irregular class made lovely host-
esses.

TEDDY TEA-HOUND.

Mr. Tea Hound is back on his old
job again after an extended tour over
Georgia and Alabama, where he has
been assisting Mr. Non de Script in his
interesting lectures to struggling
young authors. Mr. Tea Hound will be
only too glad to answer any questions
which are put in Box 21 before noon
on any Wednesday,

Dear Jennie:

No, I don’t believe I would accept
the frat pin if you had heard the young
man in question say you’d never get
his to wear, or anyway I wouldn’t “ac-
cept” it until he asked me to. Best
luck in bringing him to your view-
point! TEDDY TEA HOUND.
Dear Mabel:

There would be no harm in enjoy-
ing a friendly glass of coca-cola with
the young man after the movies. He’s

NEW SONG BOOKS OUT.

Contain Many New Songs.

Our last sing had more pep than
any we've had this year, It’s because

our new song books that we’ve been
looking forward to so long, have come.
They are very attractive, have a pur-
ple cover, and in them are many clever
songs—old and new.

The book is dedicated “To Althea
who plays and everybody who sings.”
We found some lovely surprises when
we examined it further for there were
many original songs that we had never
heard before, as well as our old fa-
vorites,

Althea wrote the words for one and
composed the music for it, too.. This
song made a big hit. The one to the
tune of “Alice Blue Gown” was also
quite popular. There are numerous
others, including “Yawnin’ in the
Mawnin’,” which we all love and under-
stand so well; ‘What's the Use?” “Hot-
tentot,” etc, Of course, our Alma Ma-
ter is on the front page, followed by
“Purple and White.”

ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
NEARS END.

Subscriptions Due.

It has been found necessary to re-
mind ourselves to pay our pledge for
the endowment fund, and at the same
time explain to those who do not know
the importance of getting the money
in as soon as possible,

Mere subscriptions, although they
have their value, bring no direct profit
to Agnes Scott, for no money is ac-
tually given Agnes Scott by the Edu-
cational Board unless we can collect
the pledged amount.

If we collect the money from the
subscribers the money from the board
comes directly to us and can be in-
vested immediately, whereas if we are
slow in getting the money we are re-
tarding the income from the board,

Owing to financial conditions of the
country, the money is coming in very
slowly, but Dr. McCain and Mr. Lock-
hart are working steadily and with
certain success and are trying to end
the campaign within a month or two.

If we have been thoughtless before
let us remember that on us depends
a little part of the success, and let us
help end the campaign with success
as soon as possible.

APPLIED ANATOMY,
Where can a man buy a cap for his
knee?
Or a key for a lock of his hair?
Or can his eyes be an academy
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head, what gems
are found?
Who travels on the bridge of his
nose?
Does the calf of his leg become hungry
at times
And devour the corns on his toes?
Can the crook of his elbow be sent to
jail?
Where’s the shade from the palm of
his hand?

How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I'll be hanged if I understand!

EVERYBODY TRY OUT FOR
MAY DAY.

Work Started on Music and
Dances.

We don’t realize how near spring is
until we know that plans for May Day
celebration are under foot. Our Agnes
Scott May Day crowns the spring for
us; not one of us old girls that doesn’t
love it and not one of the Freshmen
that won’t love it after seeing and tak-
ing part in it first.

On that day Agnes Scott is before
the public eye in a charming way. Peo-
ple flock from Atlanta and Decatur
and throng our beautiful green cam-
pus, delighting in the appropriate cele-
bration which our clever girls present.

Miss Wade, in spite of the hard work
it means for both Miss Wilburn and
herself, is quite anxious for practices
to begin; and she says that May Day
this year is going to be “perfectly mar-
yelous.’ Rachel Rushton wrote the
scenario! Mr. Dieckmann is working
now on the music for the subject, and
maybe you’ve heard Mrs. Dieckmann
going about the campus saying to her-
self, “Theme for Pandora!”

Try-outs for the cast will be held
on the fifteenth of March. Long or lean,
short or fat, blond or brunette, be sure
to try out. Very many girls are needed
and it is everybody’s absolute duty to
try out, You may have an undiscov-
ered genius for toe dancing or beauti-
ful posing and could thus be valuable
for the cast. Whether you can dance
aesthetically or not, let the May Day
committee decide after you have
proven your interest by trying out.

WHY A B.A. DEGREE IS
BENEFICIAL.

The following article is a defense
on the part of a Sophomore at Agnes
Scott of the present system of educa-
tion in the modern colleges. It was
occasioned by an article, ‘A Crack At
College,” written by F. J. Haskinn,
and as a defense of our educational
system at Agnes Scott it is well
worth reading:

WHY | AM AN APPLICANT FOR A
B.A. DEGREE.

I have just read and re-read the
article by Mr. Frederic J. Haskinn
entitled “A Crack at College,” which
appeared in the Journal on January
6th or 7th. It is an unjust accusa-
tion of the candidate for an A.B. de-
gree which rightly incurs the indig-
nation of any real student who reads
it. I cannot but believe, judging by
the ideas expressed in this article,
that Mr. Haskinn is not familiar with
the state of affairs that really exists
in a modern liberal arts institution
of the highest standard.

Mr. Haskinn belongs, quite evi-
dently, to that group of people who
believe that special training ought to

be sought by the college generation
of today rather than the broad, gen-
eral culture of a liberal arts educa-

tion. He takes the position that a
liberal education, because it requires
“A little Latin, a little Mathematics,”
etc., from all students who are can-
didates for an A.B. degree, molds us
all according to the same pattern and
destroys any individuality or orig-
inality which might belong to the
different students. On the other
hand, worth-while originality is al-
ways eagerly sought, accepted, and
given credit for. In requiring “a lit-
tle” of a number of subjects, the in-
stitution seeks to give its students a
firm foundation of general knowledge
and culture which will prove an un-
ending and ilimitable blessing to
them in their later work of special.
ization. I agree heartily that every-
one of us should be fitted to do some
definite thing well and efficiently,
but to succeed in this attempt we
need all the information we can de-
rive from any of the other branches
of learning. There is no danger that
what we learn from the “variety of
subjects” studied in college will
prove a drawback to that special line
of work in which we find ourselves
most interested. As for originality, a
broad field of knowledge accentuates
and developes it—certainly it does
not impede or destroy that which is
in us that savors of individuality.
Mr. Haskinn further claims that the
college course nowadays is too easy;
that it does not require enough work
on the part of the student. He makes
so bold as to say that “any one not a
moron can get a degree from any
American university.” The dullest

those students who walk away with
a diploma. In most cases, I believe,
students take a fairly active interest
in such things because these are mat.
ters which will later be encountered
in the outside world, and after all, that
is what a college is for—to prepare
boys and girls for the battle of life.
A moderate course, although not the
real business, has always proved
beneficial. It is the man who has
shown his executive ability at col-
lege, or has proved his capability
along any one of these lines of col-
lege activities, that rises, after grad-
uation, to be a responsible leader in
the business world. This _partici-
pation in things other than text-
books, coupled with our lessons as
well, keeps us from being book-
worms, and makes of us men and
women of a broad culture and the
knowledge necessary to meet the real
issues of life. Besides, it is generally
conceded that some recreation is es-
sential to the welfare of human be-
ings, and these affairs of college life
help fill that important office. And it
is here that we practice Mr. Has-
kinn’s idea of specialization in the
subject which holds our interest. A
student interested in athletics de-
votes his moments of recreation to
sports; to the development of his
body which is co-important with the
development of the mind. Most boys
will tell you that after a brisk track-
practice, or something of the sort,
their minds are keener and clearer
and they are better students because
of this feature of their collge life.
It is time gained, after all, not lost,
which is spent in some health-giving
sport. Then again, the boy or girl
who has executive ability or power

student, he claims, can absorb the
contents of the course in the time
allotted to its study, and the “bright
boy postpones his acquaintance with
them until ‘the night before the ex-
aminations, then makes a hasty di-
gest in about three hours and passes
with ease.” This is either a very
great slam or a very great compli-
ment heaped on the shoulders of the
majority of college students of to-

day. In either case, however, it is
not merited. The student who
achieves a degree from any liberal

arts institution of recognized stand-
ing, deserves it and need not be
called stupid because it took him
nine months to complete a certain
course. And as for the boy who
waits till examinations to acquaint
himself with the contents of his text-

of leadership, or force as a speaker
and debater finds the school socie-
ties and debating clubs the places in
which to train this tendency. Here,
again, originality grows. It is seldom
that any one tries to have a part in
every school organization. He merely
chooses the thing in which he is
most interested and for which he is
best suited, and goes in for it.
Thereby, he gives whatever talent he
has for the benefit of the entire stu-
dent body while at the same time he
himself is growing stronger of body,
keener of intellect, and nobler of
soul.

As to the fact which Mr. Haskinn
brings out, that because a liberal arts
education does not fit a student for
any special line of work it is, there-

books, he finds himself, in most cases,
sadly left behind the happy throng
who succeeded. He most likely
passed by the skin of his teeth or
was rewarded by a “flunk-slip.” Our
courses are not what Mr. Haskinn
evidently thinks they are. I would
refer him to a more detailed and hon-
est investigation along this line.

He also asserts that too much time
is left the student in which to par-
ticipate in college activities such as
athletics, politics, ete, which he
ironically terms the “real business of
college life.” It is true that some
students spend most of their time
with such affairs, but they are not

fore, not the best sort of college
training, I would like to refer him
to an article by President Woodrow
Wilson,

Mr. Wilson takes the opposite side
of the issue because in this progres-
sive world of ours, a man, knowing
only one certain branch of work, al-
though he be an expert at his pro-
fession, may wake some morning to
find that a new invention or a recent
discovery has made his specialized
knowledge of no use. He is out-of-

date and having no foundation of gen-
eral information from which to draw
in time of need is in a pitiable state,
indeed. Whereas, a graduate from a
school of liberal arts who has been
taught the art of applying himself to
any need which may arise and who

has learned the art of versatility, is
enabled, in a short time, by reason of
his general knowledge to take upon
himself new duties, and to adapt
himself to the constantly changing
methods of the world. This then, is
the worth of a B.A. degree from a
liberal arts institution and it is not
acquired as easily as some people
seem to think.
Sincerely,

A Candidate for an A.B. Degree.

Miss Conde Visits Agnes
Scott

College Community Enjoys Her
Talks.

“Again, beeause Agnes Scott is Ag-
nes Scott we have had the pleasure
of hearing a very noted speaker, Miss
Bertha Conde. Miss Conde has for a
rumber of years been National Stu-
dent Secretary for the Y. W. C. A.
Now she is visiting the foremost col-
leges and as she says “I am seeking
new ways of bringing Jesus Christ to
other people”

Everyone of us have enjoyed her |

talks which have taken the place of
our. regular Evening Prayers. They
were interesting, instructive and spir-
ifual and all who heard her felt that
they have been able to know Jesus
Christ better. How refreshed we
were when we went back to our work
because we had felt something pure
true and grand from Miss Conde’s
talks. ‘

True friendship was one of Miss
Conde’s strongest points.
written several books about it and so
we felt as though we were listening
to someone who knew her subject.
The college community has received
a benefit from her talks which will be
lasting. We Were drawn in our
friendship with God and thus with
our fellowman.

We were most especially glad to|

have Miss Conde now while everyone
is interested in our Fellow Students
across the sea. She has done “Y”

countries among the students there
We feel that.-we-owe -a—debt~of
gratitude to Dr. Gaines and the Y. W.
c. A. cabinet who have been working
since last fall to secure her for us
at this time. We hope that Miss
Conde received half as much pleasure
and lasting good from her visit to us
as we did and that she will think it
worth her time to come again. We
assure her a cordial welcome at any-
time that she may come back to us,
which we hope will not be far off.
Our best wishes go with Miss Conde
on her tour through the American
colleges, and we hope that she may
find in them all that she desires.

AGONISTIC CONTESTS BE-
GINS.

Who’s Who On the Campus.

It has been the custom at Agnes
Scott to have an Agonistic contest,
in which every girl is given the op-
portunity to “speak up and ‘spress
herself”—and say who in her opinion
is who on this campus. Boxes have
been placed in each of the dormi-
tories, and girls are urged to put their
ballots in the box as soon as possi-
ble. No votes will be received after
March ist.

Down the broad stairway they came
—the reality of our great-grand-

wigs and rustling silks, and great
wide skirts that revealed mere tips
of dainty slippers beneath. They
were not, just for one brief evening,
Seniors at Agnes Scott, but fair la-
dies and courtly gentlemen of the
Colonial period. George Washington
himself bearing Martha on his arm,
|graced the occasion and led the way
lto the dining room, which was
decked and draped for the festive af-
fair in flags and national colors.
Everything was reminiscent of those
early days of America, yet mingling
with this representative Colonial so-
ciety were maidens equally fair and
representing equally well the twen-
tieth century with their diminutive
skirts and high-puffed coiffures.

At one long table sat the Seniors,
and along side them at another ta-
ble were the Sophomores, while the
Juniors and Freshmen found their
places at other tables scattered
around the room.

toasted the Faculty.
Among the distinguished visitors
of the evening were Daniel Boone,
Betsy Ross, and Alexander Hamilton.
After the dinner, a grand ball was
held in the gym which was trans-
formed by red, white and blue bunt-
ing and gay flags. One of the most
delightful features of the evening
was the minuet dances

| Always on the twenty-second of Feb-

of paying tribute to him who has
played such an important part in the
lives of each of us, because it was
he who made possible our “Greater

outer surface of gay jests and merry
laughter, the reverent hearts of Ag-
nes Scott paid homage to George
| Washington and to his namesake,
| George Washington Scott.

Blackfriars To Present

Plays Feb. 28th.

“MY AUNT FROM CALIFOR-
NIA’’ AND “‘EVERYBODY’S

Several New Stars.

Who isn’t glad to hear that the
famous Blackfriars are going to have
la play? Much to our delight they
will again appear before the public
on Saturday evening, February the
twenty-sixth. This time two delight-
ful plays will be presented. Under
the expert directorship of Miss Gooch
they could be nothing but excellent.

One interesting feature of these
plays is that most of the parts are to
be taken by the members of the
Blackfriars, but lately admitted, who
have never before shown their dra-
matic ability to the entire public.
(Of course we know they have this

ability or they could not bear the
name of Blackfriar.)
These girls with their first ex-

perience behind the footlights will
need a large audience for encourage-
ment and they are sure to have it.

Juniors Choose Sopho-

Invitations Given Valentine’s
Day.

Perhaps just a year ago Valentine

three years ago, our Freshmen
friends were thrilled to find a Will-
you-be-my-Valentine request beneath
the front door. And now that they
have come to college these girls con-
tinue to receive Valentines.

In Freshmen mail boxes last Mon-
day, February 14, were found various
kinds of valentines. There were lit-
tle verses on the valentines which
asked not only “Will you be my yal-
entine?” but also “Will you be my
Sophomore sister?” The Freshmen
cherish these valentines because of
the honor they bestow. The Juniors
feel equally as honored to have such
lovely’ Sophomore sisters. The Sen-

There was much interest shown as

That was the last meeting for the

LIBRARY BOOKS AND RULES.

The library belongs to the students, and the rules which haye been
made for the library are for the good of the student body as a whole. An-
nouncements have been made in Student Government meetings several

times about the observance of library regulations, but even now girls take Glowed ;
books out of the building without permission, fail to return their book to And the Chinaware
Glimmered

the desk when the period is up, or leave their book carelessly on the table
when they are through with it. All other things, however little they may
be, causes confusion and inconvenience, and work against having a thor-
oughly up-to-date successful library.

Again, girls fail to bring books back on time, forgetting that other peo-
ple may need those certain books very urgently, If we would only put
ourselves in the other fellow’s place, and think about his inconvenience,
we wouldn't be nearly so selfish and thoughtless about library rules.

An unwritten rule that every girl should observe about the books in
the library is to keep them in good shape. It may help one girl to under-
line sentences in a book, but it hinders another. Let's not throw the
books around and tear out the leaves, but let’s help Miss Longshore, by
our co-operation, to have the best kind of a library possible.

Student Volunteer Conference at
Demerest in March.

Miss Julia Lake Skinner in her
open letter to Volunteers says this:
“Have you ever felt the peculiar in-
spiration which alone can come from
a mingling together of young people
who are united in the great purpose

of bearing witness to the light of the!

world in places of total darkness?

“Have you ever been thrilled with
the joy of listening to and being in
the presence of those who have al-
ready been used mightily of God in
the bringing in of His kingdom upon
earth and who are telling you from
their own personal experiences of the
cpportunities waiting for you as soon
as you are ready to go?

“Friend of mine, if you have not
had that experience you have missed
one of the joyous blessings that God
gives to His workers.”

JULIA LAKE SKINNER,

In order that those who were not
here two years ago may know who it
is whose very name inspires Agnes
Scott volunteers now, we quote from
the “Georgia Student Volunteer”:

“Miss Julia Lake Skinner will be
remembered as one of our most en-
thusiastic Student Volunteér workers
in Georgia previous to her graduation
from Agnes Scott College two years

ago, and her subsequent removal to,

wants

In some way to be blest;

"Tis not Thy blessing, Lord, I seek,

I want Thy very best.

.

And others make the highest choice,
But when by trials pressed,
They shrink, they yield, they shun
the cross,
And so they lose the best.

THE AGONISTIC

Giddie, Darling:

“Spring has came,” tra la! tra la!
Gingham dresses and tennis supplant

wool middies and tam-o'-shanters.
“In the spring a young man’s fancy
may turn to thoughts of love” but a
girl’s turns eagerly to the visions of
her new spring clothes. A beruffled

taffeta and an adorable little hat
with many flowers—these are the
levés of a girl in the spring.

Ain’t that a grand paragraph, Ag-
gie, so sweet and poeticlike? lll
develop into a great poet yet, if I
dine long enough.

Since Valentine’s Day this college
has looked like a flower garden. Hon-
estly Aggie, you've never seen so
many lovely bouquets in all your
young and unsophisticated life—and
they were all accompanied with ten-
der “Valentinish” notes too.

Bettie Sue told Alice she was glad
that he’d sent her roses but Alice
said, “Well, flowers were nice, but
a crate of grape-fruit, if sent from
the right person, can mean just as
much and last lots longer.” Beth
Flake didn’t mind staying in the In-

GIDDIE GOSSIP:

firmary with all those wonderful pink
rosebuds to help her get well, Hester
Stephenson, Eunice and Sara M. all
were made happy by flowers, and
Rhea blossomed forth in a perfectly
gorgeous corsage.

And candy? Don't mention candy
to me for three weeks, Aggie, for
every time you poke your head in
anyone’s door they offer you candy
and when you have a box of your
own, you are not so anxious to have
some. Everybody in school got boxes
from home or from beaux and as a
result, the day after, the Infirmary
was full and it was like “the morn-
ing after the night before.” But the
best Valentines of all were those
sent out by the Juniors to the lucky
Freshmen chosen to be their Sopho-
more sisters for next year. Wasn't
that a sweet way for the Juniors to
tell the Freshmen? It was a love
messagé, sure enough, for who
wouldn’t love to be a Sophomore sis-
ter to one of these dear old Juniors
of ours, who will be the “dignified
Seniors” next year.

I expect with these warm, sweet
evenings we will begin to have sere-
nades again—uh-huh!!! I've heard

the Dec tuning-up several
nights but we haven’t had many real
serenades yet.

Some people can be the

boys

luckiest
and at the same time the most un-

lucky of anything you ever heard of.
Now take Theresa, she has four dates
for this week and now she’s in the
Infirmary and has had to break two
already—and in breaking the dates,
no doubt two hearts have been
broken, aussi. Isn’t that the limit?
Now me, I keep well and have no
dates to keep, oh! it’s a very sad
world sometimes. All the girls have
been going to see “Romeo and Juliet”
and this is the most sentimental
place you ever saw! Girls sigh and
write nineteen folders to one person.
Girls get letters twenty-six folders
long and blush sweetly. Girls sing
“If you could care for me, as I could
care for you” and put their whole
soul into it. I tell you it’s the spring
in the air and it’s so contagious that
there’s no escaping it.

Don’t you catch it and elope or
somepin’ like that.

Lovingly,
Giddie.

DEBATING NEWS.

Girls Debate On Doughnuts and
Love.

The debate’s the
really, it’s getting to be quite the

thing! Yes,

fashion either to be debaters, or to

hear debaters, at every opportunity.
There was a time in the past when
we thought of a debate as a very

clever, efficient and never failing

method of torture, but somehow we

are changing our minds, and are be-
ginning to think that debates aren’t
“so worse” after all—in fact, that
they're mighty interesting things—
and instructive, too, of course.

Two organizations that are espe-
cially glad to welcome this new
fashion are the Mnemosynean and
Propylean Societies, because they
have as their especial functions the
guardianship, and fostering of the
Debating Spirit. So lately there have
been some unusually interesting de-
bates in both of these societies.

On February 5th the Mnemosy-
neans held a mock debate at their
regular meeting and the subject was,
“Resolved, that love at first sight is
the only true love.” On February 12
this society had another mock de-
bate, “Resolved, that the hole in the
doughnut is an essential part of the
doughnut.” In this debate Tilley
Spence and Sarah Harrison argued
for the negative, while Virginia
Burum and Margaretta Womelsdorf
upheld the affirmative. The negative
side was judged as victorious in this
debate by one vote. This is a ques-
tion, as well as the one of February
5 that has bothered us for’ a long
time and we are certainly grateful to

jhands, for instance,

have them selected for us in such a
safe, sane and interesting way.

On February 12 the Propyleans had
a debate, (not a mock debate in this
case) “Resolved, that.a federal board
should be appointed with powers of
compulsory arbitration between cap-
ital and labor.” Ruth Pirkle and
Mary Stewart McLeod debated on
the affirmative side, while Selma Gor-
don and Ann Justice debated

on the negative. The negative was
decided victorious.

Saturday night, the 19th, the Propy-
leans will have a mock debate, while
the Mnemosyneans will hear a regu-
lar debate. The subject of the mock
debate is “Resolved, that Nero was
justified in fiddling while Rome
burned.” On the affirmative Rachel
Preston and Emily Guille will argue,
while their opponents will be Ruth
Hall and Ruth de Zouche.

Whether you are a Prop or a
Mnemos turn out and hear the de-
bate, and then won't you volunteer to
do your part, for the debate’s the
thing.

VANITY FAIR BEAUTY
PARLOR.

Located in Basement of Miss
Sturgess’ House.

Just so long as there are girls in
the world there will be a mission
for a beauty parlor. Then surely
no one can deny that A. S. C,
is a most appropriate place for such |
an establishment, For even “college”
girls, however absorbed in their pur-
suit of learning, are still girls. Miss
Philo Sturgess has realized that most |
important fact and supplied for us
|right here on our very own campus,
lin her own house, one of those ever-
| popular institutions.

If you happen to be ignorant and
/go to Miss Phi’s front door and ask
rather shyly for “The Beauty Par-
lor” you will be led down a dark and
winding stair which reminds you of
jthe approach to a dungeon rather
ithan a place of adornment. But your
fears are dispelled when at the foot
of the stair you realize that you
should have come in by the back |
door and that your dungeon is really
Miss Phi's basement.

You are still further surprised
then, when you open a little door and |
the professional adorner shows you |

into a little white room, where the!
walls are lined with instruments of
marvelous sorts and kinds. They are
strange and new to some, of us, quite
familiar to others, but surely inter-
esting to most, we must admit. Yes,
there is every conceivable appliance
and concoction there for supplying in|
some of us what nature has lavished
upon some fortunate others—waving ,
locks and rose petal cheeks and lily |

Everything is not yet finished, for
if it were no doubt the winding: stair
would lead us into a cozy little wait-
ing room. But then the beauty par-
lor proper wouldn’t be such a pleas-
ant surprise, so let’s go in now, girls,

those few(?) of us who are not among
the fortunate ones.

THOSE TERM PAPERS AGAIN!

Term papers—where have you
heard those words before?
bring before you fond memories of a
maddening struggle produce a
minimum of twenty pages of fairly

to

intelligent material’ based on one
page of information, or are you some
poor unsuspecting Freshman, who
thinks they are some special form of
amusement offered the upper class-
men as a reward.

If you are of the latter class, my
child, you have something to’ which
you may look forward, for if you did
not have the pleasure of English I
under the protecting care of Dr.
Armistead, you are doubtless enjoy-
ing that privilege at this moment, and
by the end of the term will be fully
and adequately prepared to discourse
on any subject assigned to you.

Maybe you are one of those poor
hard-working souls who have the
burden of five or six of these rewards
weighing you down, but take heart,
for others have come through un-
scathed, without even the scars of
the battle remaining. Do not feel
left out in the cold and very much
neglected because all your professors
have thoughtlessly refrained from
even mentioning such a subject. You
may well recover your spirits for be-

|yond a doubt some of them, will be-

fore many days, have a pleasant sur-
prise for you in the way of nice short
paper in which you are to show a
thorough and comprehensive grasp
of the whole course condensed into
not more than twenty pages.

And on occasion let them squeeze,”
She did.

her own poetry.

Miss Monroe is an advocate of in-
dividualism; and her views on the
subject of modern poetry as e@x-
pressed in her own magazine of verse,
“Poetry,” are most interesting and
give us a clear insight into the nature
of her work.

Miss Monroe herself has done a
thing unprecedented in giving poets a
place of their own, where theories of
craftsmanship may be discussed.
“Poetry,” a of verse,

Monroe

has carried y throug
the first few years of its life. As an
editor, shé has shown a rare Cath-
olic taste, and because of her inspira-
tion and encouragement, many young
poets have “come into their own.”
Agnes Scott is anticipating with an
unusual amount of interest the com-
ing of Miss Monroe, and it is likely
that our enthusiesm will be shared by
the people of Atlanta and Decatur
who will take advantage of the op-
portunity of hearing her speak.

BLACKFRIAR TRY-OUTS
SHOW MUCH TALENT.

Eight Girls Taken, In.

Much original talent was shown in
the Blackfriar try-outs which were
held in the chapel on March 28. This
tryout was the first that has been
opened to Freshmen this year, and
the Freshman class may be justly
proud of the talent it displayed,

Out of a large number of contest-
ants, eight were chosen for Black-
friar membership—Elizabeth McCar-
rie, Sarah» Pappenheimer, Lollie John-
sen, Margaret Powell, Mary Ben
Wright, Roberta Swaney, Valeria
Posey, Frances Ames.

ELECTIONS TO BE
HELD MARCH 18th.

NOMINATIONS DUE
THURSDAY,

Who to Vote For and Why.

Hlections for next term will take
place Friday, March 18. Perhaps
some of the old girls recall a lost
feeling which they experienced as the
student body assembled in the chapel
for the purpose of voting. In order
not to have this lost feeling or inde-
cision as to whom to vote for, we
might seriously consider elections be-
forehand. Few of us have been to
the polls, but will shortly be
casting our vote with father’s and
brother's.

we

Here is a chance to learn
to do it as intelligently as they.
Elections are not only important to
each individual, but to each class:
The Freshman Class; who has proved
its intelligence in academi¢ work,
can now do so in a political way, so
to speak. The Sophomores can put
to practice their experience gained

last year. To the Junior Class elec-

tions are most important, because

most of next year’s officers will be
chosen from that class. Then the
Senior Class realizes the importance
of elections, and wishes to leave her
Alma Mater in the best possible
hands.

It is to our college that elections
ave-—most dniportent of ai. 9 Satur
us has a part in giving to our college
the ablest leaders. To do that we
must think seriously and reach our
own conclusions, It is so easy to let
the opinion of one’s roommate influ-
ence us, or be governed by little per-
sonal likes or dislikes. It is said that
many ignorant immigrants vote for
the man, but the true Anierican votes
for the principle.

It is well to think of the offices to
be filled and of the kinds of girls
needed to fill them. First there are
the offices of Student Government.
For that position of high honor, the
Presidency, we want an ideal Agnes
Scott girl, one who’ stands for the
best in the college. She must be un-
selfish, must have judgment, poise,
and the welfare of the college at
heart. She must be representative
of the student body—the very best
that Agnes Scott can find,

The President of Y. W. GC: A. holds
an office of no less importance: We
want first of all a girl who will be
a leader in upholding the highest
Christian standards, both in our re-
ligious life and in every day college
affairs. She must be a girl whose
influence is always of the best—tact-
ful, popular and with executive abil-
ity.

Wor the publications we need girls
with originality, and the ability to
work. For the editor of the Silhou-
eite we need a girl with an especial
amount of originality, and a big sense
of responsibility. On the Aurora, the
editor should have the energy to seek
out people who have literary ability,
and inspire them to contribute their
works, while on the Agonistic we
need an editor with a nose for news.
She should be able to write one thou-
sand words about nothing on a min-
ute’s notice, and should have discre-
tion to pick out the right kind of
lieutenants. Also she should have
the ability to make others work.

In athletics, we want a girl who
has won athletic fame and who has
enthusiasm and pep, and the Student
Treasurer should have “stick-a-bility”
and a head for business,

It is not necessary to go into de-
tails as to the qualities necessary for
the successful business managers,
nor for minor officers; for girls are
asked to use their own discretion.

These elections must be taken seri-
ously, and girls are expected to use
thought and time before they vote.

ELECTIONS AND ‘Your RESPONSIBILITY.

There are only ten more days before elections, and every girl
should use the time that remains for real concentrated thought concerning
her vote for next year’s offices. The importance of these elections cannot

be overestimated, for upon next year’s officers depend to a large extent the |

success of the entire college year, and the girls are responsible for the
kind of leaders they elect. Therefore, think well before you nominate, and
weigh and- consider before you cast your final ballot, because the name of
Agnes Scott depends in a large degree upon the selections we make.

Now in considering the various offices, it is a good plan to go over a
list of all those who are eligible, checking off those girls whom you deem
capable of filling the position which you have in mind. When these are
narrowed down to two or three, form your own opinion as to which is the
best girl for the place. It is well to discuss the possibilities of prospective
officers among yourselves, especially with those students who are in a posi-
tion to know a-girl’s ability, but in the end it is always best to form your
own opinion, unbiased by the views of anybody else.

In considering a student for one of the offices, it is well to think first
of all of the character of the girl and of the character of the office. A girl
might be the very best kind for President of Student Government, but not
at all suitable for President of Y. W. CG. A. Then it is well to take into con-
sideration ability, popularity, (that means the influence she would be able
to exert over others), experience, poise, record in other things, and sin-
cerity. Make your standard high, and vote for the girl who best measures
up to it.

One of the principal things to be avoided in casting your vote, is favor-
itism. We are so apt to want a girl whom we like personally to hold an
office, and it ig very easy to forget the real interests of the college in up-

holding the interests of one’s own friends. Let us be big enough and strong |
enough to forget self in the interests of Agnes Scott, whose success is our |

success and whose good name is a priceless possession to each of us.

tirls, lets take these elections as one of the most serious responsibili-
ties in our college year, and lets put our whole heart and our highest ideals
into the election of next year’s officers.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT NEWS.

The regular open discussion meeting of Student Government was held
Tuesday night.
The students were asked to be more careful about being quiet between
7 and 9 and after lights in the evening.

When under-classmen spend the night with Seniors they cannot use
the Senior’s light after ten o’clock for studying.

In the open discussion the question of fixing up the two little front
rooms of Rebecea Scott as porlers was brought up. It was also suggested |
to fix up the front room in Inman. These suggestions met with general
approval. /

The next matter discussed was haying dinner in the evening and havy-
ing a social half hour afterwar It/was moved and seconded that this
question be brought up before the Qolleze Council.

by Student Volunteers from Emory
University, in the interest of the Stu-
dent Volunteer movement.

The four Emory students who led
the service were so sincere and filled
with their message that they were a
real inspiration to everyone present.
They told something of the duties
and ideals of the Student Volunteer
Band, and each student told in a de-
lightful personal way why he was a
Student Volunteer. One of the most
delightful things about the service
was the beautiful music which the
boys sang, and Wve all would like to

tion they brought to us.

Not only do their enthusiastic words
testify to the enjoyable time they

of them,

Besides Agnes Scott nearly all the

colleges in Georgia were represented:
Emory, Brenau, Bessie Tift, Georgia

A reception was given the entire
Conference on Saturday afternoon,
and this pleasant affair gave the
needed opportunity for the delegates
to meet and know each other.

Indeed the Conference was most
suceessful from every point of view.
The speakers were splendid, and did
their full share by their earnest, help-
ful talks in supplying the inspiration
and courage and the new measure of
spirituality that came at this time.
The music, too, led by Miss Spencer,
of Piedmont, and Mr. Barnes, of
Emory, was a source of much pleas-
ure. The whole occasion was one
that will not soon be forgotten:

The girls who went from Agnes

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Lucile Smith Elected First
Soprano of Regular Choir.

The First. Presbyterian Church, of
Atlanta, held its monthly Praise Serv-
ice Sunday, Feb. 27th. This service
usually has a full musical program,
with a short address by the pastor,
Dr. J. S. Lyons. At the last meeting
the Agnes Scott Glee Club assisted
with the music. There were several
voluntary numbers by the regular
choir of the church beside the num-
bers given by the Club from Agnes
Scott.

Miss Nell Esslinger, as contralto
member of the Club, gave one of
Mendelssohn's solos entitled “But the
Lord Is Mindful of His Own.” In the
double trio, Misses Lucile Smith and
Margaret McLaughlin took the duet
part, while the rest joined in on the
choruses of “I waited for the Lord,”
Ly Mendelssohn. The last number
was Mendelssohn’s motet, “Hear My
Prayer.’ Miss Smith was soloist in
this also. The program for the serv-
ice included two organ solos by Dr.
Sheldon, who is the organist there,
and who is very competent in manag-
ing the wonderful instrument that
the church has.

We feel that it is a great honor for
the Glee Club to be asked to sing at
this church, which is noted for its
good music. Mr. Johnson spent much
time in working up the music, and
he deserves credit for his untiring
lefforts. As a result of the Club’s ap-
|pearance there, Miss Lucille Smith
has been elected first soprano of the
regular choir. This is another honor

in the voice department.

There are also some of Hugh Wal-
pole’s works, “The Green Mirror,”
“The Golden Scarecrow,” and many
others. A new book by Booth Tar-
kington, “Ramsey Milholland,” one of
his inimitable stories about young
people, would be of especial interest
to the readers of “Seventeen.” A
treat is offered to the readers of O.
Henry in a complete set of his works.
His stories are delightful, and so
varied that they are suited to the
tastes of everyone.

The “Patty” books, by Jean Web-

sodes in the college life of a very
original and charming girl, and make
delightful reading. A book by Thos.

THE AGONISTIC

GIDDIE GOSSIP.

Dearest Aggie:

I've so much to tell you I hardly
know where to begin; it’s been so
long since I have written to you, but
you see, Aggie, holidays come very
seldom here, and when one does
ccme, it takes the whole school a
week or more to recuperate (I
learned that word in the Infirmary,
Aggie.) Of course we all had a grand
time on G. W. Scott’s birthday and
the “Colonial Seniors” were too dear
for words. All the other girls wore
evening dresses; and honestly, Aggie,
it's the queerest feeling to wear an
evening dress here—it’s so long in
between times that you feel very
unnecessary when you put one on. I
reckon if everyone could wear a gor-
geous corsage of pink rosebuds sent
from a devoted at V. M. I. it would
help out a lot—but then that was
Barron’s exclusive privilege.

They've been having some sort of
basket-ball championship meet in At-
lanta and teams from Georgia, Miss-
issippi, Tech, Tulane, Kentucky and
others competed. That means that
the campus Sunday afternoon was
full of boys, “out-of-town,” y’see, and
Jeanette and Margaret, Lib R. and
Dorothy were seen strolling around

with several Kentucky boys. Now,
Aggie, this is what I want to know.
Jeanette and Margaret already knew

their two, because Jeanette’s from
Kentucky, but why did Lib R. and

D. Luten blush when someone asked
them what church they liked best in
Atlanta?

And, Aggie, that’s not all the ex-
citement that’s been pervading the

ancient “walls” of our institution of
learning (we don’t have walls, but
it sounds so literary-like to say we
do—we have a hedge). The other
afternoon about fifty men, in nine
cars, drove up and—that is the cars
drove up with the men inside—and
they got out and walked all over the
campus. There were men of all
ages—from the cradle to the grave—
you ought to have been here, Aggie.

believe that, because they drove off
without a single girl!

EXCHANGES

The first international debates in
which United States students partici-
pated were in 1908 and 1919, between
Bates College, Maine, and Queen’s
College, Canada, at which time each

institution won one debate. Recently
a debate has been held between the
University of Washington and the
University of British Columbia.—
Mississippian. e

Columbia University is now the
largest educational institution in the
world, having a registration of 35,000
students.—Exchange.

The aviation unit, organized in Jan-
uary at the Georgia School of Tech-
nology, began work lately. After two
years of basic work the advanced
course will begin. At present there
are about one hundred and seventy-
five students enrolled.—Technique.

There is a movement on foot at
Salem now to exempt Seniors from
examinations in any subject in which
an average of 80 per cent. has been
made during the entire semester.

This movement has been approved
and passed by the student council
and is now in the hands of the fac-
ulty —Davidsonian.

The plan to establish Student Goy-
ernment at Queens College is arous-
ing great interest on the part of the
students, The matter is now in the
hands of a faculty-student commit-
tee.—Queens Blues.

The Tulane Hullabaloo is the latest
member of the Intercollegiate News
Bureau. Tulane now receives news
reports from the colleges and univer-
sities of the country every night by
wireless.

The station has been under con-
struction for several days and is near
completion. The sending and receiy-

THE CAMPUS AS IT USED
TO BE.

Would You Recognize Agnes
Scott?

Have you ever wondered ‘how the
Agnes Scott campus used to look
before it looked as it does to-day?

The college—then the Academy—
was begun in White House, which
stood where Main building is now.
The White House building was
moved to its present location and
rented as a private home when Main
was built.

A street then ran along in front of
Dr. Gaine’s home and in front of
where Inman Hall and White House
now are, and that part of the campus
was not college land at all, but pri-
vate property, belonging to various
people. The present Infirmary stood
next to Dr. Gaine’s house, about in
the middle of the path that now
leads from Science Hall to Candler
street.

West Lawn originally stood about
where Rebekah Scott Hall now is,
but was moved to where the Library
now is and the car line ran just back
of it and turned down the street in
front of the Infirmary and Dr. Gaines’
home and ended about in front of the
| White House. It was in the next few
years that Inman Hall and Rebekah
| Scott Hall were buiit and in 1910 the
Science Hall was erected.

When the Library was realized as

a

again moved onto the location it now
occupies—the car line having. changed
and the land which is now athletic
field having been bought by the col-
lege.

It originally intended that
West Lawn should face the Infirmary,
when the latter was moved to its pres-

was

ent location over the tennis courts,

but at the critical moment when

West Lawn was to be swung about)

in the planned position the ropes
that held it broke, so West Lawn to-
day faces just as the Library does.
For a like reason East Lawn faces
west—it was to have faced College
street.

Main building used to be the scene
of all activities, but it used to be
larger than it is now, for it had at
each end a wing extending to the
rear. The room that Miss
LeGate’s class room was the dining
room, and the wing back of it was the
kitchen. The wing to the rear of
what is Miss McKinney’s class room
was the power room, and Kame Eco-

is now

nomics Building was the laundry and |

science hall in one.

The Library, Science Hall, Rebekah
Scott Hall and Inman Hall are all of
comparatively recent date, and the
college now owns from Sturgis cot-
tage on up Candler street to one block
beyond the turn in the car line,
ascross to McDonough stand, and up
College Street to Bast Lawn. The
piece of property just across the car
line from the athletic field is a rather
new addition and a very promising
one.

So it is undeniable that the cam-
pus has changed a lot in past years,
and no doubt in so many more years
it will present quite a different ap-
pearance from the one it does to-day,
at least we are hoping for a greater
Agnes Scott with a larger campus
and more buildings.

THE GENTLE ART OF
BLUFFING.

Bluffing is the ingenious device of
a few brilliant minds to avoid hard
work and save the family pride,
Bluffing requires the utmost genius,
for anyone can study her lessons and
thereby make good grades, but only
a favored few have the heaven-given
talent for making good marks with-
out study. In the foreign language
classes one has great opportunity to
cultivate this rarest and most pre-
cious of arts: great blame can be at-

tached to pronunciation, vocabulary

ATHLETIC SITUATION IN

GENERAL.
Though Agnes Scott College is not

in a basket-ball association, she has
been having a very interesting series

of inter-class games. The class
standing so far is, Seniors 1,000,
Sephomores .600, Freshmen .600, Jun-
iors .200, and Irregulars .000.

The Irregulars have a plucky team
and have put up a hard fight for
every game. The lack of average by
no means registers failure. The
Juniors have a hard-fighting team,
too,.and have never lost a game with
a landslide. The Sophomores and
Freshmen are about evenly matched,
as percentages show, both having
good team work. The Seniors, how-
ever, have perhaps the best team
Agnes Scott has ever seen. The
team work is excellent and has been
the means of their perfect record.
They have already secured such a
lead that first place is inevitably
their’s. This means ten points for
the class athletic ¢lub given every

Year. This-vietory, added to the ten
points gained in hockey, puts the
Seniors on the road toward winning
the athletic cup, too.

There is some wonderful individ-
ual players, as seen in the basket-ball
contests. Peck as Freshman forward
is a wonderful goal thrower. Thomas
from the same team is a fine side
center. McClure is a great Sopho-
more forward. Stevens is a _ fine
asset to the Junior team as jumping
center. McLaughlin is a marvelous
Senior forward. Gene McAlister is
¢. fine guard. When the time comes

to pick the six best players for the

honorary school team, some of these
girls will be sure to receive this sig-
nal tribute.

The last basket-ball game to be

played next week will be an unusual lt

affair. A team picked from players
residing in Rebekah Scott and Main

that is to spring elections. About
the first of March every year we be-

every type of girl. For this reason,
a whole week elapses between the

Phi Alpha Phi Cora Connett Chosen

Organized Here

VARSITY DEBATER’S CLUB.

Chapters To Be Established At
Other Colleges.

There are ten young ladies on the
campus who are “silver tongued ora-
tors,” and the wonders that their
brains can perform”are not surpassed
in the least by their tongues. These
young ladies, realizing that “in unity
there is strength,” have organized
themselves into an honor society,
with the impressive name, Pi Alpha
Phi.

The purpose of the organization
ean be stated in no better form than
their own charter does: “The pur-

who shall by their influence and their
interest in debating in the true sense
of the word, uphold the highest ideals
of liberal education; to furnish the
highest reward for conscientious and
meritorious efforts in furthering the
best interest of argumentation by
election to membership in this organ-
ization.” These ideals are in accord-
ance with all the ideals of Agnes
Scott, and it is therefore a natural
result of the spirit that is prevalent
in the college.

The members of the society desire |

to take the organization into other
standard colleges of the South and
then later make of it a national or-
ganization. The founders of the local
organization wish especially to organ-
ize other societies in Randolph-
Macon and Sophie Newcomb as a
means of reward for the intercol-
legiate debaters.

The ten girls who have been chosen
for membership are Cama Burgess,
president; Quenelle Harrold,
president; Anna Marie Landress, sec-
retary; Caroline Agee, Charlotte Bell,

Nell Buchanan, Eleanor Carpenter,
Frances Charlotte Markley, Ruth
Scandrett and Martha Stansfield.

They were chosen for membership
by the faculty members of the Debat-
ing Council, from the preliminary
debates as the ten best debaters.

From these girls four speakers and
the alternates are to be chosen for
the intercollegiate debates. All of
these students, whether chosen for
the team or not, are doing a great
service to the college. In the future
the membership of the society is not
to exceed twice the number in the
debating teams, thus making a _ so-
ciety whose membership will be a
real honor.

The pins are lovely. They were
designed by Frances Charlotte Mark-
ley. The background of the pin is

May Queen

Elected By Large Majority.

The really big question of the
spring term—who is to be May Queen
—has been decided, After the bal-
lots had been counted Cora Connett
was found to have been elected by a
large majority.

There are so many attractive girls
among the Seniors with queenly
traits, that we had to put our think-
ing caps on in order to decide just
which one was the most beautiful
and possessed the largest number of
these queenly traits.

It is not a hard and fast rule that
the queen shall be a blonde, but most
of us associate the two together, and
as has happened for
many springs past, a blonde has been

JUNIOR CIRCUS COMPANY
SCORES AGAIN.

Large Crowd Watched Big Three
Ring Show.

All the old girls were quite ex-
cited over the arrival of Junior
Brothers Circus Company at Agnes
night. They saw it
last year, so knew how good it was
going to be. They talked so much
about it that the Freshmen became
interested, too. The consequences
were that the “gym” was overflowing
last Saturday night.

Crowds began coming in at about |

eight o’clock. The main entrance

first corner was the ticket booth.
The gym was transformed into a real
circus tent, with straw over the floor
and every kind of animal imaginable.

As at most circuses, before the
performance began, ice cream, pea-

the spider lady, Madam Zeirtch, the

performances could be seen for only
a nickel.

At about eight forty-five the main
circus began. The parade was the
first feature. There were numerous

Intercollegiate De-
haters Chosen

‘Markley

Landress, Buchanan,

and Bell.

On Thursday the intercollegiate de-
baters were chosen from the mem-
bers of the Pi Alpha Phi, the honor-
ary debating club of Agnes Scott.
The debaters were chosen by the fac-
ulty members of the Debating Coun-
cil, Dr. Armistead, Miss McKinney,
Miss Hearon and Miss Gooch. The
girls who have been selected are
a. M. Landress, N. Buchanan, F. C.
Markley, and C. Bell. The alternates
are Q. Harrold and E. Carpenter.

Everybody is behind these girls
who have been chosen as our repre-
sentatives, and we are certainly
proud of them.

Unusual enthusiasm combined with .
splendid effort has made it particu-
larly hard for the judges to decide on
the intercollegiate debaters this year.
All during the fall both Propyleans
and Mnemosyneans spent much time
at the library in Atlanta as well as
at the college, and some exceedingly
warm and highly entertaining dis-
cussions were held on Thursday
afternoon.

The question for the intercolle-
giate contest is, “Resolved, That in
every railroad controversy threaten-
ing the public convenience, the Rail-
road Labor Board as constituted in
the Act of 1920, be required by law
to make an investigation of the case
and render a decision binding on all
parties to the dispute.” The date of
the debate is undecided, but expected
to be either the eighth or twenty-
second of April. Agnes Scott will
meet Sophie Newcomb here and will
send one team to Randolph-Macon to
debate on the same evening. The
debaters are looking to every mem-
ber of the student body for loyal sup-
port, knowing that with all of Agnes
Scott back of them the victory can
not fail to come their way.

DR. KIMBALL TO LECTURE
‘ON MARCH 25TH.

Subject Will Be Mexico.

We have had the pleasure of hear-
ing several distinguished speakers at
Agnes Scott College this year, be-
cause of the efforts of our Lecture
Association. Again we are to have
a noted speaker with us to lecture in
the chapel. Dr. Emmett Kimball,
professor of education in Smith Col-
lege, will lecture on Mexico on March
25th

Dr. Kimball is sent out by the In-
stitute of International Educatioa.
At this time when there are so many
changes taking place in Mexico, and
there has been so much discussion
about the progress and development
of that country, we will find this lec-
ture very interesting and instructive.
Dr. Kimball is very noted for his
work in the study of Mexico and has
a& great number of things to tell us.
We are looking forward to his com-
ing with pleasure.

Because of the subject of his lec-
ture and his ability as a speaker he
will be welcomed at Agnes Scott by
a large audience. After the lecture

| there will be a reception in Rebekah

Scott lobby, when an opportunity will
be given to all outsiders and Agnes
Scott girls to meet Dr. Kimball
and talk to him. This is not one of
the series of lectures provided by the
Agnes Scott College Lecture Associa-
tion, but it is arranged by the Class
in Hstory EX.

-EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

HOW THE CLASSES FEEL ABOUT ELECTIONS.
Elections is the all-absorbing topic of the day now at-Agnes Scott,

and their importance cannot be stressed too much. -Every class should
feel its responsibility in voting for the right g’rl—from the most dignified
Senior to the greenest Freshman of them all:

Below are a few words for the girls from the representatives of every
class:

FROM THE SENIOR.

Since it is a common error to confuse a girl's popularity with her
ability to hold office, it is necessary to think very carefully before taking
part in the elections. While it is the usual case that most college officers
are popular, a girl's qualification should be taken into consideration. It is
often very hard for us, who have a certain wonderful friend, not to put
that friend up for some office. At the same time, perhaps, there is a girl
who would fill the position admirably, but we don’t care much about her
and therefore we won't vote for her. Is this the attitude of a college
woman? If we are not big and honorable in politics in college, how will
we help politics in later life. Can you not rise above prejudice and dislike
of a girl and give her the square deal when she should have the office?
Don’t vote for your roommate just because she is your roommate. Don't
put up a girl for office just because she is in your crowd.

Then if there is no prejudice on your part and perhaps some doubt,
select the girl who most thoroughly represents her Alma Mater as well
as fits all the requirements. Let’s remember that a great deal of our college
life depends on its leaders, and that every leader should have the very
highest standards of qualifications.

THE JUNIOR’S OPINION.

Elections, bring a distinct challenge to Juniors, and consequently we
approach them with a realization of our responsibility and a determination
to shoulder that responsibility well. It is our first year, as upper-class-
men, and remembering how much we were influenced by the attitude of
Juniors when we were Freshmen, we know that the way we think about
elections and talk about elections will play its part in the outcome. And
we are aware of the importance of the outcome. In the three years we
have been here we have seen what the success of each organization means
to the college as a whole and to each individual in the college community.
Now,

officers, trying to determine which girl will be best for each place.
Elections challenge Juniors, also, in that they remind us of the fact

that we are soon to be Seniors, that out of our class come the girls who>

are to influence the lives of all of us next year, that to our entire class all going to vote, and then vote some

comes the privilege and the responsibility of carrying on.
each Junior is meeting the challenge fairly and that the outcome will be
well.

WHAT THE SOPHOMORE THINKS,
“The Sophomore Class is the grandest class in school to-day.”
have sung this song with enthusiasm, now let us act in accordance with it.
Last year, when we were Freshmen,
as we did, because of suggestions from the “old girls.’ However, this
year, since we are familiar with the school, the girls, and our needs, let
us take the elections seriously and put much thought into our decisions.

Since we are a large class our yote will be of great importance. Let us
choose the worthiest and most efficient girls for the places. We realize
the importance of each office, so we must give each due thought. Now is.

our time to show Agnes Scott she can always depend on us to do the right
thing. Many of us have our special friends among the student body for
whom we would like to vote or feel compelled to put into office. But the
Sophomores must rise above this; let us remember that because a girl is
a good friend it doesn’t necessarily mean she will fill an office well. Each

office has its peculiar importance, yet there is a girl on the campus fit for |

each office. Let us find her.
Remember your votes, Sophomores, determine the happiness of Agnes
Scott for next year!

AND NOW THE FRESHMAN.

Now with the coming of spring, there comes one of the most important
events of the college year, the election of officers for the coming year.
This will be the first election in which we Freshmen will take part. Let
us show how much we have learned of the Agnes Scott spirit by our

interest in this election. We all realize its importance, for upon the lead-|

ers we choose at this time will depend the sort of Agnes Scott we will
have next year.

SONG MATCH BETWEEN IN-

THE AGONISTIC

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Dearest Aggie;

I'm just so full of romance that I
don’t know whether I can come down
out of the clouds long enough to |
write you all about it or not. My
romance? Why, whatever gave you
that idea? You know it isn’t!!
Really there are several people on
the campus who just act so dreamy-
like ‘till there’s no doubt that they’ve
been hit hard. Now there’s Helen
C., for instance; she’s rushing around
having dates with her fiance every
day—well you see, Bobbie’s here on
a Visit and you can see out-of-town
roen “oftener” than others. Well, I
wouldn't say Elbert hadn’t a chance,
that would be putting it too strong,
but if he did lose out there are many
maidens who would be willing to be
the target of his attentions. And
speaking of romances, Ruth P. can’t
be satisfied with being noted as the
eutest girl in the school—no, sir!
She has to be popular, too! Oh, yes,
she hears from Jack every day and
he sends her more candy. It’s the
real thing, Aggie, but no less so than
Cora F. M.'s affair. His name is Joe
and she wears his pin and it’s
awtf’ly serious, Aggie. You ought to
hear her speak of him, so sweet and
shy kinder.

Mary M.’s was very thrilling, too.
Ke came riding, riding, riding (on
the train) from the hills of far New
Hampshire with hope in his heart
znd a smile on his face. (1 think
this is better than Shakespeare, don’t
vou, Aggie?) But now he’s wended
his way wearily west—I mean north-
ward, his hopes crushed and the ring
in his pocket. After all, ‘sometimes
the course of true love doesn’t run
smoothly.

Catherine W.

wasn’t going to let
aluyone get ahead of her, so she
promptly vamped a Tech man and
had an afternoon date and went to

town with him the other day, And
that’s not all! He was so captivated
that he’s coming again this very
week,

I told you | had lots of news, didn’t
I, Aggie? But you ain’t heard noth-
ing yet—anyway I’ve just begun!!
Have you heard about how senti-
mental the Emory boys have been
acting lately? Well, the other day
J. J. had a letter in her box addressed
to the secretary of the Junior class,
and it was from some boy at Emory.
He said he picked out the secretary
because secretaries were supposed to
answer all correspondence promptiy.
Now Aggie, you know that was cute,

wasn’t it? And Susie Reid had
about twenty-five calls from one
Emory boy in one afternoon. He was

anxious for that date, wasn’t he?
And have you heard about Ruth H.?
Well, her brother’s a K. A. at Emory
and all the boys in the chapter call
her “Little Sister,” and they’re so
nice to her; they come to see her
and even write real often, too. Now,
Aggie dear, between you’n me'n the
potted plant, I'd be willing to let
them call me “Great Uncle” if it
brought such popularity with it.

And speaking of popular people—
well, L. D. S. came strolling non-
chalantly out of Main the other day
With a perfectly huge box of flowers
under her arm, reading the enclosed
note so calmly that it proved flowers
were an everyday affair with her.
But Aggie, if a man ever sent me one
dandelion I'd dance all over school
and let everybody know it, and that’s
the truest word I ever spoke!

And Liz—! One man’s coming
from the University of Virginia to see
her and another one from Jackson-
ville, Fla., in the same week. Here’s
hoping the rivals don’t appear on the
same day. That would be hard on
Liz.

And say—did you hear how. popu-
lar our delegates to the Student Vol-
unteer Convention were? Yes, they
say Vie was the most popular thing
you ever heard of.

I sent you the names of our “Who’s
Who” contest and you remember who
got second place for prettiest?
Well, a certain love-stricken youth
in Atlanta informed this young lady
that even if she was engaged he was
coming to see her, if she was not
married in a year, no matter where
she would be. Think of such devo-
tion!

Elma S., ever since Monday night
has been considering a major in
math., and really “Montgomery” bet-
ter look out, or “Chattanooga” will
beat her time.

Beth McClure and Frances Stuart
have been wearing smiles as bright
as their hair—why? Because they’ve
had their mothers here.

Ella says she gets plenty of “Copy-
book” practice, posting phone calls
fer girls, and one who gets so many
is M. MeDow. Her calls come from
the Ansley and “high-toned” places
like that. Julia W.’s man wanted to
look’ over the campus, so Julia showed
him all around Saturday afternoon,
and he was charmed with the view.
(He looked at Julia all the time!)

Everyone is so happy looking and
they go around singing all the time.
No one can beat Polly, though, she
is taking lessons on the mandolin so
she can accompany herself.

When we get to having dinner at
night and dances by our Cotillion
Club we'll be laying good founda-
tions for a regular charm school,
vont we, Aggie?

AGNES SCOTT PRESENTS
BLUE RIDGE IDEA TO COM-

Monday afternoon, March seven
of the Agnes Scott girls went In to

junta and presented the subject of

Plue Ridge to the students there.

The invitation to appear at Com-
mercial High came through Jean Mc-
Alister, who has a club of girl re-
serves there and is interested in re-
lating the school to any outside ac-
tivities.

Nine of ow very peppiest and most
enthusiastic girls were present.

Ellen Wilson, her former Sophomore
Sister, Julia graduated from Agnes
Scott in 1919. She is now doing girl’s
work in the Presbyterian Church in
Nashville, Tenn. She is going to at-

in a few years, to take this wonder-
ful work abroad. Julia is just the
kind of girl to do that, so here are
three cheers for her!

Our other visitor is the beloved

On the table there was an assort-
ment of hat frames, and a great array
of silks, and ribbons, and flowers,
and a bunch of big red cherries that
were destined to droop demurely

about the piquant face of a chic little |

Agnes Scotter. You know, there is a
superstition that cherries, when worn
“just so,” are very effective in win-
ning hearts. Now, who could be this
young person who was overheard to
say that she “Just must have cherries
on her hat because—oh, well, she—
she always had liked gay things?”
So, there is a chance, it seems, that
Agnes Scott will send out from her
portals not only examples of intel-
lect and brilliant studiousness, but a

representation, as well, of these so-|

called “charming young women” who
still think frequently of the eternal
question of how to dress well, and
who can economize on a young hus-
band’s limited income by
their own dresses and hats.

AGNES SCOTT STAGES GEOR-
GIA-TECH BASKET-BALL

GAME.
The anticipation of the basket-ball

fans reached its height when they
witnessed the “Georgia-Tech” game
Friday, March 11. A large crowd
came out and rooted vigorously for
their favorite “school.” For the
time being, Georgia in Inman and the
cottages, and Tech claims Rebekah
Scott and Main. Everyone awaited
the game with expectancy and no one
was disappointed.

The Georgia stars are:

Centers—A. Stephens, A. Meade.

Side Centers—A. Thomas, G. Spru-

cll, W.. Peck.

Forwards—M. McLaughlin, B. Mce-
Clure.

Guards—K,. Harrell, D. Smith, E.
Pou.

The Tech stars are:
Centers—A. Brewer, V. Howie.

Side Centers—Roberta Love, E,
Hoke.

Forwards—H. Wayt, M. Hay, N.
Evans,

Guards—L. Moriarty, A. Whipple,

J. McAlister.

Though these teams haven't had so
yery much practice, both showed
that they were made up of star play-
ers. A lot of pep and enthusiasm
helped the players. Both the losers
and the winners deserve honorable
mention, Though the crowds are
better, the bleachers are far from
full.

One of the Tech players thrilled
the crowd with her long-distance
throwing. She made several baskets
that fairly made the spectators hold
their breath. There are only a few
more games. Come and see them.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT

BEGINS. :

The tennis tournament has at last
begun, and everybody that knows
how to hold a tennis racquet has
signed up on the bulletin board in
Main Building. The classes are play-
ing among themselves first, and the
winners of the class singles and
doubles will be given numerals.
Then the winners will play each class
and the victorious ones, also singles
and doubles, will receive cups, and
the title of “Champion Tennis Play-
ers of Agnes Scott College.”

Some difficulty has been found in
keeping the courts straight after they
have been signed for, so players are
requested never to erase names from |
the board. The board will be erased
each night and then courts may be
signed up for the next day. It is
hoped that this system will do away
with the confusion about who has
which court signed up for when.

are to receive a badge of recognition

just which of our gallant Irregulars
have shown themselves true athletes.

and deeper appreciation of the mod-
ern verse than we have had before.
Miss Monroe first gave a sketch of
the history of poetry up to the pres-
ent time, showing the various in-
fluences that have their mark on the
modern poems. She then read most
delightfully some works of the Chi-
cago poets, showing by her interpre-
tation that she has the understand-
ing and appreciaton of a true artist.
Aiter the address, the audience was
invited to an informal reception

Miss Monroe’s presence at Agnes

both of Chicago.

DR. DIVINE SPEAKS ON ‘‘OUR
FOREIGN OBLIGATIONS.’

On Saturday morning, Dr. Divine.
a noted sociologist, addressed the

students in the chapel on “America |

In the Light of Our Foreign Obliga-
tions.” Dr. Divine has been for fit

teen years Professor of Sociology in}

Columbia University. During the war
he traveled in Burope addressing the

soldiers and studying conditions at

|that time, and he is known all over

the United States as a lecturer of
rare force and charm.

Dr. Divine told in
Saturday morning that America, on
account of her mixed population, has
foreign obligations that are very
real, and Europe looks to America
for help in every difficulty. He said
that Mr. Hoover had not exaggerated
in his reports of the number of peo-
ple who are actually starving in Bu-
rope today, and he made three ap-
peals to us as students.

First. Give. We who are
must share our wealth with those in
Burope and Asia who want the very
necessities of life.

Second. Use our influence toward
universal disarmament, and estab-
lishment of some means of arbitra-
tion for the amicable settlement of
disputes.

Third. Keep up with the happen-
ings in other countries, understand
their significance, and form an opin-
jon as to the advisability of the poli-
cies adopted by the governments of
the world.

Dr. Divine’s forceful statements to-
gether with his unusual wit, made
him a most attractive speaker, and
we consider his address one of the
most interesting that we have had
the pleasure of hearing this year.

After chapel, Dr. Divine talked with
our Intercollegiate Debaters, and
gave them many helpful ideas about
securing and arranging their mate-
rial.

we secure advertisements, that Agnes

QUIET.

Every girl in school has a real love for Agnes Scott, and if you’d ask
any one of the students on this campus to make a real sacrifice for her
college, she would certainly do it.

Girls are always ready to do some-
thing big to prove their school spirit and their readiness to serve. Since
this is true, isn’t it strange that we so often fall down on the little duties
and trusts, the minor Student Government rules that are so easy to follow
implicitly? If we would only realize that it is in our observance or non-
observance of these minor regulations that others can judge whether or
not we really love our Alma Mater, how much more careful we would be!

One of the Student Government rules that is hardest to enforce is
the quiet rule. Now there is not a student here who doesn’t know that
from seven to nine-thirty, quiet is supposed to be observed, and yet often
the noise is so annoying that girls can’t study in their rooms at all during
that time. Of course we don’t mean to break a rule when we run up and
down the halls laughing and talking during study hour at night. It is just
thoughtlessness, but that is no reason why it should be excused. We are
in college now, and it is our business to think, and to uphold the laws
which we are on our honor to obey.

The Student Government Association belongs to each of us, and with-
out our co-operation it can never

be successful. Can we not realize that

our spirit in upholding the laws that we ourselves make, determines the

calibre of our entire Association? We can show our school spirit by keep-
ing quiet in the halls just as readily as by giving a large subscription for
the betterment of the college, and much more easily. Let’s prove to the
President of Student Government, to the executive committee, to proctors

and to ourselves, that we’re behind Student Government in everything.

The change is due to two reasons,

Everybody just feels like singing
when they see Ruth just bubbling

new song books! Of course we all
love our old songs but it is so nice
to have others, too.

Y. W

NEW OFFICERS ELECTED.
The present hard-worked officers

of the Y. W. C. A. are about to be
relieved; for new officers have been
elected. They are:

President—Ruth Scandrett.
Vice-President—Ruth Hall.
Secretary—Q. Harrold.
Treasurer—Margaret McColgan.
These officers together with Lucia
Murchison, Julia Jameson, Beth Mc-
Clure and Ruth Pirkle selected
by them made up the new cabi-
net. Until spring holidays, they
will be in training here for their new
duties. From the first of April to the
fourth they will attend a conference
at Wesleyan. One of the principal
speakers there will be Miss Ooloah
who will give a series of
“The Greatest Things in

Christianity.” Miss Burner has al-
ready been an inspiration to many
girls, and the new cabinet members
are expecting to profit much by hear-
ing her.

All of us are glad that we can at-

forget what we are.

The new cabinet commission, com-
posed of all the heads of depart-
ments, has not been chosen yet. It is
a grave responsibility for the new
president to select the best girls for

take time for thought. Members of

We extend our congratulations to
the new officers, because their elec-
tion shows that a majority of the
girls in school think they are better
fitted than any one else to bear the
responsibilities. of leadership in the
Association. We have confidence in
them, and we believe that they will
make our Y. W. C. A. better and
more influential than it has been in

want to undertake; we will help them

But in our enthusiasm of looking
forward to what is new, we want to
stop long enough to thank the old
officers for what they have done and
have tried to do this year. They
have given their time and their en-
ergies for the good of the whole com-

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Dearest Aggie:

You should have been here last
night—we had the grandest serenade
by the Decatur boys, oh! that melt-
ing tenor and grand bass! You've
really never heard such a good blend-
ing of yoices and they carried so
well. We appreciated it but couldn't
“speak up and ‘spress ourselves” be-
cause there’s a rule against applause
during serenades. We're just hopin’
they'll do it again soon—and often!!!

Everyone’s tripping the light fan-
tastie toe these days, practicing up
for May Day and there’s a good deal
of talk about chiffon, bloomers, and
people coming from afar for the
grand event. Mary K., who lives in
Atlanta, likes to dance too, but she
prefers the Georgian Terrace to Ag-
nes Scott Terrace. Did you ever
hear of a boy who was old enough to
be a Freshman at Tech, who had
never had a date with a girl? I
didn’t think there was any such ani-

mal, Aggie, but there ip—and he came

out to see Reba V. the other night.
Aside from being a little bashful he
showed very promising signs of be-
coming quite a “’and with the ladies.”

“Two mothers each week” is our

motto and this week the visiters have
been Viola Hallis’ and Mr. McFall’s
mothers. Viola’s didn’t stay long but

Mrs. McFall was here for several
days and took a bunch of lucky girls
in town one day. Frances Harper’s
mother was here, too, and gave
Frances and several of her friends a
lovely dinner at the Terrace.

Have you noticed how good Flora
W. has gotten lately? She goes to
Sunday school in Atlanta every Sun-
day. Now we all know that just. be-
cause she’s noticed one who is per-
fectly adorable is not the reason at
all—she blushingly denies it, too.

this spells r-e-l-i-e-f or r-e-g-r-e-t there
is one thing that it does spell to all
of us no matter who we are, and that
is g-p-r-i-n-g! the

here when we begin to think

may be, and summer-time and home.

In this connection we are all instantly
joyful when the fact of the nearing
events comes to us.

But for the present? Well, for the
girl to whom the end of gym means
relief are the thoughts of two extra
hours a week, no need rush for the
|sym at the “eleventh hour” and no
sore muscles and stiff joints. On the
other hand to the girl to whom the
statement of “only two more weeks
of gym” means regret come other
thoughts, such as: that then will be
the loss of a full hour of good, blood
stirring, brain-awakening physical ex-
ercise in an afternoon of only stren-
uous mental activity.

So for the present the nearing end
of gym means one of two things, but
as a forerunner, as a presage, it can
mean only one thing and that a joy-
ful one involving summer and home
and the folks we love.

On the 26th of March the athletic

Since every class is
its team, there is a lot of interest and
friendly rivalry which help to make
the whole affair more interesting.

The main features are the hurdles,
the hop-skip-and-jump, the dashes,
the discus throwing, and the shot put.
All of the classes have been faith-
fully practicing and are expected to
perform some marvelous feats.

In order for a class to have its best
material in fine shape, there must be

Beside the track meet there will be
the gym meet. All the classes will
perform and the winner will get ten
points toward the cup. The winner
of the track also gets ten points to-
ward the cup.

After these two meets there will
be an added attraction in the form
of a baseball game. The teams will
be chosen from the four classes. One
team will consist of Juniors and
Freshmen and the other will consist
of Seniors and Sophomores. This
game will be a fitting climax for an
interesting and lively afternoon.
Come out to practice, and if you

are from Adelbert, one from the Law)
school, one from the Medical school,
and six from the College for Women.

Shorter College will soon apply for
membership in the Southern Associa-
tion. The only thing that has kept
her out for several years has been |
the lack of a sufficiently large en-|
dowment. Membership in the Asso- |

college, but will help her educational
standing —The “Periscope.”

selves together under the strictest
rules that could be possibly devised
to protect the integrity of athletics,
adopting not only the one-year rule,
the three-year rule, but also went a
step further than any association in
the country by stipulating that no
athlete having attended a college can
go to another college and indulge in
athletics under any circumstances.
Under the rules adopted no F'resh-

must also be gotten in within four
years from the date of matriculation.

Date For Debates
Set For April 26

MISS HEARON WILL GO TO
RANDOLPH-MACON,

Inter-Society Debate Tuesday.

The 26th of April is to hold more
than one joy for Agnes Scott, for be-
sides being a holiday it will be the
date for the Triangular Debates.
Sophie Newcomb and Randolph-Macon
have both agreed to this date.

Even the meekest Freshman knows
what a holiday is at Agnes Scott and
a holiday with something more—and
there will be lots more, too, because
Pi Alpha Phi is making some splen-
did plans to entertain the delegates
that come here. They will need the
help and interest of the whole’ college
community in doing it though, so let’s
all plan to help them if called on.

It has been decided that Miss
Hearon go with our negative team to
Randolph-Macon as official chaperon.
Dr. Armistead is also planning to go
to hear the debate, if he can arrange
it.

On Tuesday night, there will be an
inter-society debate in the chapel at
eight o’clock between the Intercollegi-

“ate teams. Everybody, show
loyalty and root for your society!

BLACKFRIAR MEMORY BOOK
STARTED.

More than one head was stuck
questioningly out of Main Building
or Rebekah Scott window last Tues-
day as surprised eyes glanced won-
deringly but delightedly at a group
of daintily costumed characters who
seemed to have stepped from some
story book or play. A look of dawn-
ing recognition proved that the actors
in “Our Aunt From _ California,”
“Byerybody’s Husband,” and “Over-
tones” had been remembered despite
their changed background of town
and tennis court. Your deductions as
to these personages were correct, oO
window-gazer, but were you enough
possessed of curiosity, or did you feel
enough inclined to solve the detective
mystery to find the reason for this
picture procedure? It is a dark and
deep secret (but of course you won't
tell) centering around two mystical
words, “Blackfriar Book.”

Strange to say, this is neither on
the order of a black list, nor is it
some pirate code book, but is simply
the record-to-be of all Blackfriar
plays. Each page is to represent a
play and will contain a program, the
most representative group picture,
and one or two separate pictures of
unusual or exceptional costumes or
characters. This composite of all
dramatic presentations will be placed
for safe keeping in some such place
as the library. There in future gen-
erations former Agnes Scott girls
with all their talent and enthusiasm
and accomplishments may gain fame
and a lasting memory as they pass in
review by those destined to possess
our place!

SENIOR BASKET-BALL TEAM.

Who’s Who In The! Allen and Jones
Athletic Association) Elected To Hoasc

Members of Executive Board and
Their Jobs.

An angel of merey is one who min-
isters unto the needy. There are ex-
actly ten of these friends of hu-
manity at Agnes Scott. They furnish
the life, the spirit, the pep for the
College. These young ladies, how-
ever, are known under a less holy
name to the world at large: they
make up the Executive Board of the
Athletic Association.

The “chief cook and bottle washer”
is Fan McCaa.
| She is about the most athletic “fan”
on the campus. Never is she idle,
but is always exerting every effort in
helping her co-workers plan the un-
dertakings of the Association which
will make Agnes Scott greater and
better—athletically speaking.

Next on the immediate staff are:

Dot Allen, vice-president; Beth Mc-
Clure, secretary, and Caroline Far-
quhar, treasurer. Never have girls

worked so diligently and accomplish-
ed so much as these girls. They have
almost succeeded in making Athletics
Agnes Scott’s middle name.

' But the staff is not the “whole
cheese” by any means; it shares hon-
ors with six managers, who may be
called the “real backbone” of the
Association.

The great success of the hockey
season was due to Hilda McConnell,
who so wonderfully managed the
games between the classes. Hilda
can manage teams as well as she can
wield a hockey stick—and that means
a great deal.

But when Agnes Scott put away
her pumpkins after Thanksgiving,
she also discarded hockey sticks and
donned hér basket-ball attire. Al-
thea Stevens, the famous center in
the “Georgia” game, managed the
most successful season yet.

And now that basket-ball is a thing
of the past, those who are “fleet of
foot” are practicing diligently. Helen
Wayt, the capable track manager, is
very optimistic over the showing her
teams will make on Saturday.

For those who cannot play hockey,
or basket-ball, and who cannot beat
even a snail in a race, hikes furnish
a good way to get numerals, Hvery-
body can walk, and certainly nothing
is more pleasant than strolling about.
Hikes are in season the year ‘round,
and have certainly been popular this
year under the management of Genie
Johnston for the boarders and Helen
Hall for day pupils.

» But what would the Athletic Asso-
ciation amount to if it did not have
a song leader? “There’s music in
the air’ always when Ruth Hall, the
most “athleticist” song bird, is
around. When visitors express sur-
prise because Agnes Scott girls know
so many songs—‘“Hottentot” and oth-

Cotillion Club Elects

Seventeen New
Members

Planning For Ball In April.

Invitations have been sent out to
seventeen girls to become members
of the Cotillion Club. These girls are
Dorothy Allen, Virginia Burum, Ha-
zel Bordeaux, Pearl Lowe Hamner,
Ruth Keiser, Carolyn Moore, Lewis
Murthison, Lucy Oliver, Virginia
Ordway, Eugenia Pou, Elizabeth Ran-
som, Margaretta Womelsdorf, Doro-
thy Bowron, Virginia Pottle, Margaret |
Powell, Lucile Smith and Lucy
Wooten.

The Cotillion Club is now a flour-
ishing organization of about forty
members, who are planning entertain- |
ments for the college community.
While the Cotillion Club expects to
be the source of much social enjoy-}
ment in the future, that is not its

only, or indeed its fundamental ob-
ject. The Cotillion Club, organized
by Hoasc, has for its purpose the

standardization of dancing at Agnes
Scott, and the raising of all the so-
cial standards. It wants to keep the
ideals of the college high, both in re-
gard to social entertainments and
dress, and it solicits the help of every
student in accomplishing its end,

The Club is planning its opening
ball for the Student Government Con-
ference in April. Arrangements and
plans are being made already, and it
is expected to be the best dance of
the year.

Oh, Those Gym

Exams!

No More Gym Classes After|
Spring Holidays,

“Attention! Right dress!”

And the gym exam is begun.

The first squad selected rush out
upon the floor with determined faces,
while the others adorn the wall, glee-
fully hugging their knees and enjoy-
ing thoroughly the performance.

The drilling is not so bad despite
the struggle to remember right from
left, for usually you Can follow the
one before you in the much-alluded-to
manner of sheep. This, however, is
not always a safe thing to do, and
woe to all the blind trusting follow-
ers if the leader goes in the wrong
direction. .

After the drilling comes,the real
torture—the patient and long-suffer-
ing “horse” is’ dragged out onto the
floor, and a general sigh goes up; the
instructor takes her place on the
other side, pencil poised over her
grade-book, and this face,daunts the
bravest. Each in turn makes a wild
dash, slings herself promiscuously at
the offending beast, and, if luck is
with her, lands on her two feet on
the other side. From time to time,
however, there is a low but ex-
pressive mourn as some _ hopeless
creature lands on some other parts of
the anatomy rather than the feet,

The dancing terminated the horror
of the exam, but after it a sigh of re-
lief and thanksgiving is breathed: no
more gym until next year! An exam
which brings such a blessed deliver-
ance cannot be so bad, after all, no
more we'll sing dolefully:

“Got to go to gym today,

“Gee, I wish I could stay away,”
but now it will be a different and
much more cheerful tune.

GEORGIA GLEE CLUB BIG
HIT.
Reception Afterward By Agnes
Scott Glee Club.

Singing, humming, or whistling new
tunes is all the style at Agnes Scott.
This could not very well help its
prominence if it would, for the Uni-
versity of Georgia Glee Club was so
successful last Wednesday night that
a whole bunch of new tunes are fly-
ing around the campus. Forty-five
jolly “college fellows,” as they styled
themselves, gave a minstrel show
when they stopped by Agnes Scott
auditorium on their annual tour of
the State. The Georgia Glee and
Mandolin Clubs lived up to their repu-
tation for a fine entertainment, while
a good Agnes Scott audience proved
the reality of its ideal of attentive
enthusiasm.

The snappy, interesting program
was followed with a reception given
the Georgia representatives by the
Agnes Scott Glee Club. The Red and
Black contingent were given the best
time possible, and everybody, both
girls and boys, said they had a good
time.

As regards the program itself,
Jerry Jones’ “A Night in Cucoo
Land,” the original one-act play, was |
@ sure success with its Dramatic
Personnae, Ladies of the Harem,
Members of the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation of Street Car Conductors and
Motormen, Fan Bearers to His Ex-
ecellency, Imperial Guards, and Im-
perial Band. The singing was ex-
ceptionally good, especially the quar-
tets.

Agnes Scott has a glowing new)
memory to add to many others rela- |
tive to past events, for the evening of
March twenty-third will ever call to
mind delightful remembrances of
that occasion and pleasurable antici-|
pation of another visit from the|
Georgia Glee and Mandolin Clubs.

Tennis Tournament
In Full Swing

Preliminaries Over; Finals Being
Played Now.

“There are girls who are known by
one and all,

Who know just how to serve the
swiftest tennis ball!”

For the last week or so, to observe
the serving of that “swiftest tennis
ball,” numerous heads may be seen
sticking out of the library windows.
It is an occupation much more de-
sirable and fascinating than the tak-
ing of History I notes.

Then, too, interested spectators may
be seen sitting in the grandstand
(that part of the campus which
curves upward beside the court.) A
referee carefully watches lines and
score. All the tennis experts have
come forth and now on court 4 dis-
play inimitable serves, unheard-of
strokes, and skill past understanding.

The preliminaries were over by

March 23. The winners then pro-
ceeded to play eath other, each time
the loser dropping out until the
class champions are determined.
The champions each receive a nu-
meral. These champions in both sin-
gles and doubles play each other,
Freshmen against Sophomore, Junior
against Senior. The two victors of
these games meet and thus the school
champion is determined.
‘ Great is the reward of the finsl vic-
wrious three. A silver cup goes to
the champions of singles and anothet
to the champions of doubles. Ne
only do the winners as individuals ra
ceive reward and glory but their
classes gain. Five points for singles
and five for doubles go toward the
athletic cup. This last fact makes
every loyal player long to win be-
cause of the great benefit to her class.
She realizes that through her efforts
10 points may go to her class, as
many as can be obtained by hockey,
basket-ball or track. Three cheers
for the tennis tournament!

BRILLIANT AFFAIR OF
MARCH 26TH.

Miss Hall Weds Mr. Inman,

One of the most interesting events
of the college season was “perpe-
trated” on Saturday evening, March
26, in the lobby of Inman Hall, when
Mr. Inman, otherwise known as
Marion Lindsay, and Miss Hall, other-
wise known as Ray Bell, were joined
in the uncertain bands of mock-wed-
lock.

This was one of the most brilliant
social affairs in history as the num-
Both

in saying—most ardently admired by
all of their friends. The wedding was
largely attended, even by friends

|from as great a distance as Main and

the neighboring—halls!

The bridal party was as follows:
Best man, EH. B. Carpenter (Eleanor);
maid of honor, Miss Myrtle Black-
mon; bridesmaids, Misses Fan Mc-
Caa, Lilburne Ivey, Polly Stone and
Annie Sue Banks, The ushers were:
Messrs. Harry Scott (Harriet), H.
Bordeaux (Hazel), and E. T. Robin-
son. Flower girl, little Miss Peyton
Simson, and ribbon bearers: Masters
Sugene Pou and BE. Thomas.

The wedding march was rendered
by Miss Althea Stephens and in the
course of the evening Miss Margaret
McLaughlin sang a very touching
love song which brought tears to the
eyes of even the divorced wife of the
groom, Miss Claire McIver, who was
among. those present. Miss Geraldine
Goodroe, a very fascinating young
woman of pronounced vampire type,
who had come to witness the deed,

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

SOCIAL STANDARDS OF AGNES SCOTT.

We hear a great deal about the ideals of Agnes Scott, and these ideals
“are very precious to us. It is because of the standard set by those who
“have gone on before that we as Agnes Scott girls are respected wherever
our college is known. The good name of Agnes Scott is a priceless herit-
age to each of us, and it is our duty to hand it down to the coming genera-
tions as unblemished as we have received it.
There are various kinds of standards that we as individuals must
measure up to in order to be the best kind of Agnes Scott girl. There are
If we can’t measure up to the
intellectual standards, the faculty sees that we don’t stay in college. It is
our social standards—our dancing, our dress, our speech, that the students
are especially concerned with. No chain is stronger than its weakest link,
and every girl must realize that she may reflect the spirit of the entire col-
lege -to-those- people who are nur camiliar with its standing... Every girl
can do the college immeasurable good, or immeasurable injury.
‘The otillion Club is undertaking to standardize dancing at the college,
and to create public sentiment against those dances which are thought to
“be objectionable. It appeals to every girl to stand behind it, and to adopt

Y. W. C. A. WORK AND HOW TO

DO IT.
Do you know what it takes to be
a YY. W. C. A. secretary? Miss

Tewkesbury of the National Board
told some of the girls about it last
week. There are ten kinds: business
secretaries, who have to know book-
keeping and stenography, but need no
special training; cafeteria directors,
who are usually women, who have
specialized in home economics; col-
ored work secretaries who are them-
selves all colored people; girls’ work
secretaries, who are directors of ac-
tivities, and are at the head of the
Girl Reserve work which many Agnes
Scott girls are doing now; health di-
rectors, who have to be graduates of
some school of physical education;
industrial workers, who have to be
trained by the Y. W. for doing recrea-
tional and social service work among
girls in industry; religious education
supervisors, who conduct Bible study
classes for those who especially need
them; and the city, town, and rural

After this course the Y. W. places
you somewhere as a secretary, of

you work for five years, saving your

SPRING HOLIDAYS,

To every girl on the campus, the Agonistic wishes a most happy spring
holiday!

About this time of the year, with term papers piling up, conferences,
debates, grand opera, commencement and exams all staring us in the face,
we need a holiday, and a little respite from the duties and responsibilities
that confront us is almost necessary. If each of us would take this holi-
day sanely as a time to have a good time and rest, it would prove a source
of great benefit. As it is, we are prone to.think of too much gaiety and
come back more tired than ever. .

Let’s try to come back from this spring holiday refreshed in body and
mind, and ready to undertake with new enthusiasm the work that lies
before us.

My Darling Aggie:

I'm just thrilled to death and I’m
afraid this won’t be a very good let-

ter but “There’s a reason”!!! Geor-

gia Glee Club Concert tonight!!! Of

course, you understand, don’t

you,, Aggie? It’s going to be the
grandest thing and we've heard; the
boys are regular—(started to say
Georgie Peaches)—well, regular—
whatever is the best you can call ’em.
The girls in our own Glee Club are
all “decked out” in evening dresses
or dinner frocks and the chapel is a
dream(?) in red and black. Don’t
you wish you were here, Aggie?

' {| wish I were a Senior, Aggie, so
IT could go out to dinner with men—

now

like Sarah does with her “Satel-
lite.” Yes indeed! and he’s just
wild about her—they always are
when they keep taking you out to din-
ner and things like that. Lucile
wouldn’t let her fair roomie get
ahead of her though, not so you

could notice it! She and Eric have
dinner in town ’most every night and
they go to the theater and out in the
afternoon too.

Just’ think next: week-end we will
all. be away for spring holidays and
we're all so full of plans for clothes,
beaus, dances and frolics that there’s
not much room for lessons. To get
ahead of this epidemic of “‘non-studi-
ness,’ every teacher in school has
found it her especial duty. to assign
a test or a term paper and so we
have to work “whether we will or
no.”

J. D. C— has a new Tech beau
—she’s just met him (“how” is a
mystery!) and she’s crazy about him.
Sarah McDowell is so popular that
she has to get special permission for

extra dates. Imagine it!

There haven't been many gifts of
flowers around here lately—guess all
the poor opposit sex are saving their
money for Easter corsages.

Well, Aggie, it won’t be long now
before we'll have all the excitement
of intercollegiate debates and we're

At a very early age she could skin
the cat from the ancestral oak in
her front yard, and beat all the little
boys in the neighborhood running
races.

When Llewelyn came to school she
found an easy pathway, because she
alone knew how to spell her name,
and therefore could always claim to
know more than the teacher. Her
favorite subjects were Recess and
Lunch Time and her favorite holiday
was April Fool's Day.

Decatur, Georgia, had the honor of
witnessing her high school days.
Here she worked unceasingly, not
even stopping for meals, and easily

On one occasion she took the part of

MISS WADE, YOU’RE ALL

RIGHT.
Miss Myra I. Wade, born in Chi-

cago, has had a most thrilling exist-
ence. Very athletic from childhood
up, she led in all the competitive
games during her high school days.
Also very early she developed a
strong appreciation for Latin and the
classics, and there was a great strug-
gle in her life when she tried to de-
cide between physical education or
dead languages as a _ profession.
When a Senior at Oberlin,
cided to go in for gymnastics and
with this in view, took up work at the
University of Wisconsin and at the
Chicago Normal School of Physical
Education,

Having finished her preparation,
Miss Wade did work at a community
centre for factory girls in Sheboygan,
Wisconsin, and a little later she con-
sented to come to Agnes Scott.

During her two years with us,
Miss Wade has been a never failing
source of inspiration, giving both her
time and loyalty to furthering the
athletic interests of the students.
Three cheers for Miss Wade!

froze on my lips.

BIBLE DEPARTMENT AN-

A Bible major has recently been
added to the curriculum of Agnes
Scott. This addition is not very well
known, but it must be of interest to
a great many students. Pass this in-
formation on’ to your friends who are
considering their subjects for a ma-
jor.

It will also doubtless be interesting
to the students to know that the-Stu-
dent Volunteer Movement has re-
cently contributed some very impor-
tant and valuable books to the Agnes
Seott Library. Among these books
are:

“Christian Work in Latin Amer-
ica,” in three volumes. This is con-
sidered to be the greatest reservoir
of authoritative information relative
to Latin American social, educational

and religious conditions ever pub-
lished.

“Regional Conferences in Latin
America,” a concise review of the

missionary problems of the Latin

American fields, particularly from the
view point of Christian cooperation
in solving them.

JUNIOR MEMBERS TAKEN IN
HOASC.,

Five New Members Announced,

On Monday morning the Junior
members of Hoase were announced,

Coma Burgess, Ruth Hall, Laura
Oliver, Nell Buchanan and Ruth
Scandrett.

Miss Cady made the talk of the

morning, and emphasized the honor
conferred on these girls by felling
the college again exactly what Hoase
means and stands for.’ Hoas¢ is an
organization that every girl in school
is eligible for, the only requisite be-
ing loyal and unselfish devotion to
Agnes Scott. Hoase stands for serv-
ice, and it is the object of every girl
in the organization to leave the col-
lege better for her influence. Miss
Cady told us that the ideals for which
Hoase ‘stands have always been an
inspiration to her, and that the world
needs more of the Hoase spirit of
unselfishness.

Hoase is a Senior honor society,
certain Juniors being elected éach
spring to carry it on. Other girls
may be taken in during their Senior
year. Admission to Hoasc-is-a CcOV-
eted honor, and the new’ members
have received the congratulations of
the entire college community.

BASKET-BALL SEASON ENDS.

Senior Team Comes Out On Top.

“All’s well that ends well.” This
little quotation certainly holds true.
The basket-ball season is over and all
that we have is the memory of our
good times. But we have been force-
ably reminded that all of our activi-
ties in college live in records and the
record of the recent basket-ball sea-
son is indeed an enviable one. Not
only has the playing been unusually
good but the spirit among players and
spectators alike, although strongly
enthusiastic, has been ideal. Usually
what the audience lacked in number
was fully atoned for in pep.

In the beginning of the season,
each team went into it with a vim,
practices came hot and _ heavy,
coaches and players worked madly
with one goal in view—the cup. As
various inter-class games were played
off, the interest increased and de-
votees of the game waited with
greatest anticipation the outcome of
each match.

When the Juniors were not fiercely
fighting for their own goal, they were
vigorously yelling for their sister
Freshmen. Likewise the Seniors
urged on their Sophomore sisters.

The end of the season found the
Seniors holding their own, having
lost no games, and the Sophomores
and Freshmen running neck and neck
for the second game. The final
game which was to play off the tie
for the second place resulted in a
score of 28-35 in favor of the Sopho-
mores.

The basket-ball season for ’20 and
21 is over now. Track and tennis

have taken its place but all look for-
ward to the season of ’21-"22 with
the greatest of pleasure.

After all the’scores had been turn-
ed in and counted up it was found

COME OUT FOR THE HIKES.

As the weather is getting pretty
again, and the green leaves are bud-
ding out on the trees, it seems that
everybody can think of nothing bet-
ter than to get out, and walk for
miles or go on one of the hikes.
Everybody that goes on these hikes
can tell you how much fun we al-
ways have.

Sometimes we leave the college
about five o’clock and go to the
woods and get some long sticks and
roast our weiners. You just don’t
know how good this food tastes un-
til you go on a hike. During the
winter months we usually left the
college at about two-thirty, and hiked
to East Lake or toward Stone Moun-
tain or Druid Hills, but since spring
has come we will be going later and
carrying our supper again.

Besides the good time we have we
get plenty of exercise which can be
counted on.our exercise cards. Then
we can get numerals in hiking too,
if we go on eight of the ten hikes.

If you cannot hurdle or race you
can at least put on your walking
shoes and go on these hikes. In a
few weeks we will be given another
hike, and instead of going to Atlanta

HOCKEY—GONE UNTIL FALL,
BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

Hockey has for some years been
one of the chief sports at Agnes
Scott. This year an unusual amount
of interest was shown in it. Hilda
McConnell was the manager of the
teams. More girls went out for
hockey than -ever before and the
teams were all quite good.

The Seniors won the largest num-
ber of games, then came the Sopho-
mores, Freshmen, and Juniors. At
first the Sophomores and Freshmen
tied for second place, but the Sopho-
mores won when the tie was played
off. However, the Freshmen team
made a fine record, considering es-
pecially that this was their first
year and many of them had never
played before. The Sophs say that
they will certainly be next year’s
champions if the incoming Freshman
class hasn’t a mighty heap of pep.
But the other classes aren't quite so
sure about that.

Each game that was played last
fall was interesting to the end and
all the classes showed their spirit by
loud yells and cheers. One would not
think that we could get up much pep
at six o’clock in the morning, but
whenever a hockey game was played
at that hour there was just as much
enthusiasm as ever.

The manager for next year will be
chosen in the near future and plans
will be begun. Let’s all come out
for hockey and show our class spirit!
It’s a great sport!

TAKE A DIP IN THE POOL.

Good For Spring Fever.

“The ole. swimmin’ hole’’—the
words probably bring a picture of a
barefooted boy in overalls and a
straw hat with a bundle under his
arm to our minds. But in spite of
the old-time associations “the ole
swimmin’ hole” in one guise or an-
other, has a strong appeal for us all
just about this time of the vear.

The sun has been feeling sure-
enough warm for a week or so and
gingham dresses have been blossom-
ing out with the trees and flowers
over the campus—there’s been some-
thing in the air that has made us
feel not so very anxious to study.
And judging from the crowded black-
board in the gym there’s nothing that
is so good an outlet for all these
stirring springtime energies or so
good a cure for our “spring fever”
as a dip in that very “ole swimmin’
hole.” What does it matter if our
particular one is lined with cement
and under a roof? Any average girl's
imagination can supply the particu-
lars to suit itself—a muddy creek
with willow trees dipping their fringe
in the water, or perhaps you prefer
the elegance of the country club bath
house and lake? But whatever be
your own ideal details the one essen-
tial thing is right here on the campus
—the water.

So when you feel as though you
simply can’t pin your wandering
fancy and your restless energy down
to dry and unromantic subjects and
can’t take your eyes off the spring-
time about you, to pin them down to
the printed page, just go plunge some
of your disturbances into the pool
and see if it doesn’t help.

CONFERENCE,

Vol. VI

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1921

No. 19

Agnes Scott Admitted
To A.C. A.

Long Coveted Honor Conferred.

At a recent meeting of the Associa-
tion of Collegiate Alumnae Agnes
Scott was admitted to that organiza-
tion.

Only those alumnae who were)

Sa |
members of the Association of Ameri)

can Universities or the

Foundation were eligible. We re-

member that last fall Agnes Scott he- |

came a member of the Association of
American Universities.

There were present at the Associa-
tion of Collegiate Alumnae 353 mem-
bers, among them presidents of Bryn
Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, and Wellesley,
deans and professors of nearly every
American college. Beside these many
other prominent persons attended the
convention. There were about 25
delegates to the Southern Association
of College Women. Miss Smith repre-
sented Agnes Scott.

At this meeting a new organization
was formed composed of the Southern
Association of College Women and
the Association of Collegiate Alum-
nae. It is called the American Asso-
ciation of University Women. Dean
Comstock of Smith was elected presi-
dent.

Only those members of the S. A.
G. W. and the A. C. A. can become

embers of the new organization.

S. A. yet eligible in the S. A. C.
@ given a membership of five
If at the close of the five year
: these institutions have not at-
tained standards set by the new as-
sociation the colleges will be dropped
from the list.

The newly formed association is a
member of the International Federa-
tion of University Women. It is with
great pride that we have learned that
our Alma Mater has become a mem-
ber of an international organization.

One of the important features of the
A. G. A. is the ten fellowships offered
for graduate work. Some of these
are to be used in Europe, some in
America. Different branches of this
organization are influential in obtain-
ing better educational laws, both state
and federal.

It is interesting to know that at this
meeting of the A. C. A. toasts were
given by Mrs. Vernon Kellogg, wife
ef Mr. Hoover’s chief assistant. Her
subject was the “Hope of Europe.”
Mrs, Kellogg said that in Europe she
has seen wheat seeds planted for six
years and each year fail to come up
because of the tramp of passing
armies. Yet with all this the school
teachers went on with their tasks,
sometimes without even a building.
The hope of Hurope is the American
college.

The Association while in Washing-
ton was the guest of the President’s
wife at a reception at the White
House, and was entertained by the
wives and daughters of the Senators.

The next convention is to be held
in Kansas City. Perhaps some of us
when we ‘have become alumnae shall
be members of the American Associa-
tion of College Women. We are in-
deed honored that we have such a
privilege and that Agnes Scott ranks
with the leading colleges of America.

NEW AGONISTIC STAFF SE-
LECTED.

The staff of the Agonistic for next
year has been chosen, Four of the
offices were filled at the student elec-
tions, but the rest of the staff was ap-
pointed. The list is as follows:

Eleanor Hyde—Hditor-in-Chief.

Mary Greene—Assistant Editor-in-
Chief.

Lucy Oliver—Society Editor.

Bloise Knight—Y. W. C. A. Editor.

Mary Colley—Exchange Editor.

resident Of Mt. Hol-
yoke Speaks April 19

Miss Woolley Guest of Gamma
Tau Alpha.

On the evening of April 19 Agnes
Scott is to have the very great honor
of hearing Miss Mary E. Woolley,

president of Mt. Holyoke. Miss Wool-
ley will be the guest of Gamma Tau
Alpha, and will deliver the address of

the annual open meeting of Gamma)

Tau.

For some years the alumnae have
desired that Miss Woolley visit Agnes
Scott, but her engagements had been
made three years ahead. Gamma
Tau is very fortunate in being able to
have the president of Mt. Holyoke at
its open meeting.

The subject of the address is one
in which we are all interested: “The
American One Hundred
Years Ago and Today.” On the
afternoon of the 20th Miss Woolley
will speak to the alumnae in Atlanta
on, “The College Woman in the World
Today.”

Before becoming president of Mt.
Holyoke Miss Woolley was head of
the Bible department at Wellesley.
She has held many important posi-
tions, such as Director of the Relig-
ious Education Association, and of-
fices connected with the Consumers’
League and the Massachusetts
Woman Suffrage League. She is the
author of several books.

Miss Woolley has a national reputa-
tion as a forceful, brilliant speaker.
She has done much for Mt. Holyoke

and is prominent in educational cir-
cles. We feel that from her wide ex-
perience and knowledge of women
she is able to tell us something help-
ful on the subjects she has chosen.
Agnes Scott looks forward with great
pleasure to the coming of her dis-
tinguished visitor.

Woman

Grand Opera Week
Begins April 25th

Many A. 5. C. Girls to Attend.

One of the big attractions that Ag-
nes Scott’s college year boasts is the
annual visit to Atlanta of the Metro-
politan Opera Company with its week
of delightful operas. Atlanta is the
only city south of the Mason-Dixon
line and east of the Mississippi river
that the Metropolitan visits. We are
indeed fortunate to be in Atlanta
when the annual opera week arrives.

Music lovers come from all over the
South to the operas and most of us
are hoping to see some folks from our
own home town.

METROPOLITAN OPERAS IN
ATLANTA NEXT WEEK.

The first opera is Andrea Chenier.
The story tells of Andrea Chenier,
who came to Paris for his education.
He was a poet, patriot, and dreamer.
The Revolution was in full swing. As
he was a lover of liberty he took
sides, was arrested, and was guillo-
tined in 1794.

Next is Mefistofeles. It is drawn
from Goethe’s Faust. Episodes have
been chosen from the whole story,
however, and the episode of Helen of
Troy is included.

La Boheme is a very delightful
opera. The principal characters are
an inseparable quartet who are reck-
less and happy-go-lucky in spite of
their hunger and hardship.

The story of Manon is taken from
the novel of the Abbe Prevost, but
several changes have been made.

Next is Aida, an Italian opera. It
is one of the longest operas, lasting
four hours and forty minutes. It is
one of Verdi’s most famous works
and is enjoyed by all music lovers.

Rigoletta has proved quite as popu-
lar as Aida. It is an opera in three
acts. The scene is laid in Mantua
and vicinity in the sixteenth century.
The chief character is Rigoletta, a
kunchback.

Tosca is the last one. The plot is
gloomy and tragic but the musical

Delegates And Where
They Are From

Twenty Colleges Represented.

For several weeks one of the most
important topics of conversation at
Agnes Scott has been the Student
Government Conference which is to
be held here. The students have been
looking forward with much interest
and pleasure to the time when the
delegates from the various colleges
would arrive and have been planning
for several entertainments in their
honor.

The list of the colleges which will
be represented at the Conference has
been obtained, and about twenty of
our colleges will have delegates here,
it is found. The names of the colleges |
represented, the delegates, and the
rooms where they will be entertained
are as follows:

Student Government
Conference Begins

Today

About Forty Delegates Arrive.

Today the Annual Student Govern-
ment Conference of Southern Wom-
en’s Colleges meets at Agnes Scott
for several days’ discussion of college
This conference, to which
come representatives of the best col-
leges south of the Mason-Dixon line,
has always proved a source of in-

ispiration to the girls to whom the

Student Government work is en-
trusted, and this year also it gives
promise of being an enthusiastic and
helpful convention.

The purpose of this Convention is
to bring before a conference of repre-
sentative girls from different colleges
problems for mutual help and sugges-
tion. Any problem affecting college
life is discussed in the sessions of the
Convention, and it is helpful to know
how other colleges meet situations
that have been difficult for our own
college to deal with.

The Convention also helps colleges
to organize self-government associa-
tions, and gives to those schools who
are just starting it the benefit of
years of experience.

Another advantage of the confer-
ence is that the girls from every col-
lege have an opportunity to know
each other socially, and can get the
other coliexes’ puini of view in tit
informal way.

Agnes Scott is delighted to be the
hostess for the conference this year,
and bids to every delegate a most
hearty welcome. .

WELCOME TO YOU, DELEGATES.

To each of the delegates here assembled for the Student Government
Conference, Agnes Scott bids a hearty welcome. We have long been look-
ing forward to the privilege of having you with us—you, the representa-
tives of the best schools in our Southland, and the choice students of those
schools, It is indeed an honor and an inspiration to have you here.

We not only hope that your trip to Agnes Scott will be profitable for
you, and for the schools which you represent, but we want you to like our
college, and to feel at home on our campus. Wach student here is at your
service, and would be delighted to perform any service that you might de-
sire. The keys to the college are yours.

Just remember, Delegates, that Agnes Scott is glad to have you here,
and that every student extends to you a cordial welcome.

AGNES SCOTT SPIRIT.

Why has Agnes Scott grown, and become the important centre of edu-|

cation that it is today?

It is because of the Agnes Scott spirit.

The Agnes Scott spirit is intangible, but very real. It is more impor-
tant than any amount of riches that the college might possess. It is the
college itself. The spirit of the students has made Agnes Scott rise, in its
own estimation, and in the estimation of those around us. The Agnes Scott
spirit is loyalty, love, honor, unselfishness and willingness to sacrifice, if
necessary, for the benefit of our college.

It is the spirit that the students, as a whole have shown, that has made
the Student Government Association, based on the honor system, success-
ful here on this campus. Without the co-operation of the majority of the
girls, such an undertaking would have been impossible.

It is the Agnes Scott spirit that made the raising of our Endowment
possible, and it is the Agnes Scott spirit that has enabled the Lecture As-
sociation to procure so many distinguished lecturers this year. Those
things are marks of progress.

The Agnes Scott spirit has made the college what it is. It makes us
sing the Alma Mater reverently, “Hottentot,” whole-souledly; it makes us
work cheerfully and play enthusiastically and above all, it makes us love
our college with a true devotion, seeing its failings, but only to correct them.

The Agnes Scott spirit has been handed down to us by those girls who
have gone on before.

to those who are to come later as noble and unsullied as we have re-
ceived it.

HINT TO THE FACULTY.
Why doesn’t the faculty give us a play? All year we have been pas
tiently waiting. Faculty, you wouldn’t disappoint us.

VOCATIONAL CENSUS.

What do you think you would like
to do and be when you leave Agnes
Scott? The Vocational Guidance de-
partment of the Y. W. C. A, knows
now from the census they took last
week. They found social service and
teaching in the lead, with newspaper
work and library work running close.

Next week every morning in chapel
there will be a speaker, an authority
in some line of work, to talk for ten
minutes about the possibilities in that
field, so that those interested may
know the opportunities offered them.

It is our task to never let it wane, but to pass it on |

Of course this vocational bureau is
_of the greatest interest and aid to
seniors, since they are nearer to their

INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS

Next Sunday at Y. W. meeting the
new officers will be installed. There
will be a _ beautiful ceremony in
which the out-going president will
hand on to the new one the candle,
symbolizing the office which she has
held. The old president, Janef Pres-
ton, will make a talk in giving up her
responsibility, and the new president,
Ruth Scandrett, will make one in re-
ceiving it.

In the processional the Glee Club
will sing “Father of Lights,” and the
old cabinet will lead, followed by the
new one. In the recessional the order
will be reversed, the new cabinet pre-
ceding the old.

Those who have seen similar serv-
ices before know that it will be both
pretty and impressive.

WITH THE Y. W. C. A. IN TOWN.
The Y. W. C. A, in Atlanta is plan-
ning a big festival this spring in
which those girls who have Girl Re-
serve clubs are vitally interested.
The industrial department of the city
Y. W. is going to give a mammoth
spring festival, in which one of the
chief attractions will be the pageant
given by the Girl Reserves. There
will be about three hundred in the
pageant, which is the feature for
which Agnes Scott girls will be partly
responsible.

The story of the pageant is this:
Mother Earth tells the Spirit of the
Spring how her children have been

great but not immortal, and that her
latest sorrow is for America, who she
had hoped would be a son above re-
proach; but apparently he has forgot-
ten the ideals for which he has re-
cently fought. The Spirit of the
Spring calls in her friend Experience,
who says that it is always easier for
two to be noble than for one alone,
and so she suggests that Mother
Earth find a good wife for America.
They look for one, and after passing
by frivolous Gaiety and forbidding
Ability, they choose True Woman-
hood, who is well-rounded in her de-
velopment along bodily, mental, so-
cial, and spiritual lines. At the wed-
ding she wears white and plain Y. W.
blue, until during the ceremony she
is given the red of self-sacrifice, and
the stars of high ideals, and the torch
of service, and stands forth as Colum-
bia. They hear the calls of the op-
pressed peoples of the earth, and go
off together, while Mother Earth
breathes a prayer that her son may
at last live up to the best that is
within him.

The proceeds from the festival are
to be used in sending delegates to the
Girl Reserve conference this summer.
Atlanta, has never sent any before
but this year in addition to the dele-
gates from the clubs, the Association

is going to send the Agnes Scott girls

who are advisers.

All who like to have a good time
are invited to come to the pageant the
second Saturday in May.

GIDDIE GOSSIP

My Dearest Aggie:

We all expected to feel “sorter let-
down” like after all the grand rush
and butterfly life of spring holidays
but with all the thrill of having the
conference here and welcoming the
charming delegates we've forgotten to
be blue and homesick. We're all so
glad to have these girls and you
would be wild about them and wish
they were “residents” if you could
only be here and know them. We're
leading a very gay and hectic life
now with all the entertainments in
honor of the delegates and honestly,
Aggie, were it not for the fact that
the male attendance necessarily was
conspicuous by its absence, we could
imagine that we were all still at our
“Home, Sweet Home” or back where
we played the role of charming vis-
itor in the home of our good friend
or “roomie.”

Some of the girls came back with
new frat pins and others are parad-
ing around in rings with stones as
big and bright as headlights! Don’t
you wish your friend was that kind,
Aggie, so you could brag about me?
I do!!!

We're all humming new tunes now,
and doing new dance steps, since we

don't I wish we
could have spring holidays or—dele-
gates all the time! If we did—tife at

A. S. C. would be one “long. sweet
song”!

went away; Gee!

I wish somebody would elope or
somethin’ and then I would have
some real exciting news to tell you.
But anyway—too much excitement
would cease to be exciting.

You ought to hear about Lucy and
Hall! Well, they were out for the
week-end and they met these two
boys. One was very opportunely a
photographer and so they spent the
afternoon taking pictures. Imagine
the surprise of these fair damsels
when a recent “mail-call” brought
them five dozen pictures of them-
selves—all sizes from little kodaks to
life-sized portraits. The boys had
enlarged and finished those pictures
all for Lucy and Hall!

Dot was so excited Sunday night
she could hardly walk over to Main
Building—for “Cliff’ was waiting
there to see her. He’s right up to
date, too, Aggie, for I saw his straw
hat on the hall table. He’s awfully
eute looking too!

Mr. Powell came to see Margaret

Easter Sunday and she was so mad
because he would only stay four hours
that she could hardly eat the wonder-
ful dinner she had in town with him.

I'd be glad to see my Daddy even
for ten minutes, Aggie, wouldn’t you
if you hadn’t seen him since Christ-
mas holidays?

M. McLean spent a happy week-end
—guess why? “Hugh” came up from
Sewanee to see her and to make sure
that she would be there for com-
mencement. She’s been acting real
dreamy and been sorter “up in the
clouds” ever since he left. He’s a
senior this year, so I'll bet she'll have
a grand time, don’t you?

Jack got the most wonderful pink
roses you ever saw Tuesday night.
She couldn't imagine why she hadn’t
gotten them sooner until she discoy-
ered a card from the Nunnally Com-
pany saying they had run out of her
special brand at Easter time and had
to postpone the order, so Jack for-
gave “him.”

Everyone here has gotten out of
the habit of studying and we're all set
for all the frivolity that will come our
way!!!

Light-heartedly yours,
GIDDIE.

EMORY GLEE CLUB COMING
TO AGNES SCOTT APRIL
23RD.

To Present ‘‘I Smell Smoke.’’

Yes, we are told so, and we feel
that this smoke is particularly nice
since it doesn’t mean fire. It does
mean, however, that the Emory Glee
Club is coming here with a troop of
splendid singers, and a grand opera
production which bears this signifi-
cant and classical title “I Smell
Smoke!” Surely no true Agnes Scott
girl would miss such an opportunity
to enjoy one of the coming operas of
the day.

The Emory Glee Club will be here
on Saturday night, April twenty-third.
Those who heard the club last year
are able to assure the less fortunate
ones that there is no greater treat in
store for them during the whole year.
They have some unusually fine voices
and Agnes Scott has had especial op-
portunity to hear some of them. Mr.
J. Foster Barnes took the leading
bass in the Messiah chorus given be-
fore Christmas, and Mr. Byron War-
ner took the tenor part in the opera-
logue “Manon” given by Agnes Scott
students. Mr. Warner, it seems, is
very versatile. He is to be the
heroine in “I Smell Smoke.”

Let us all go and see him. It is
good for us to “see ourselves as oth-
ers see us.” and perhaps he will treat
the ladies kindly. It is good for us,
too, to enjoy ourselves and we cannot
fail to do that if we consent to give
the Emory Glee Club a hearing.

PRINCE LOUIS DE BOURBON
TO MARRY.

The Prince Spoke at A. S. C.
Short While Ago.

A special dispensation from Rome
has been sought to permit the mar-
riage of Mrs. Bertha K. Archibald, a
|very wealthy English woman who has
made her residence recently in New
York, and Alfonso Louis Jerome de
Bourbon of Spain, who gave an ad-
dress at Agnes Scott not long ago.
Mrs. Archibald is planning to join the
Catholic church if the dispensation is
granted.

We all remember the Prince who
spoke to us with such charm on the
subject of “Women and Civilization,”
a few months ago and will be very in-
terested in his engagement.

The meeting between these two
took place about three months ago at
a ball at the Hotel Plaza, and since
then the romance has progressed rap-
idly. Through this marriage Mrs.
Archibald will become an American
citizen, for the Prince recently was
|naturalized, taking the name of “Don
Louis de Bourbon.”

Mrs. Archibald is described as
small, dark and vivacious. She has
devoted much of her time to sculp-
ture, and has in her home some quite
beautiful statues of her own making.
She was married when only seventeen
years of age, and six months after-
ward her husband was killed. She
came to America primarily because of
her interest in tarpoon fishing, and
made the record in Florida for that
season with a fish that weighed 175
pounds.

A New York paper says of him:

“He is at present engaged in a
plan for promoting business relations
between the United States and the
Balkan States. He markets Ameri-
ean goods through the medium of the
motion picture, affiliating native mer-
chants in each country with an Ameri-
can corporation. He was born, he
said, in Roumania in 1884, and during
much of his early life he was hidden
away.”

Agnes Scott is especially interested
in Prince Louis because of his having
been entertained out here, and wishes
him all happiness and success.

THE BENEFIT OF MISS PHI’S
BEAUTY PARLOR.

Yes ma’am, spring surely has came.
And everybody’s thoughts have be-
gun to turn toward all sorts of things.
We know in which direction all the
young men’s fancies are turning, and
father’s are towards fishing and golf,
and mother’s toward spring house-
cleaning, and ours toward new clothes
and getting all dressed up and going
somewhere.

And right here is where Miss Phi’s
beauty parlor comes in, for no mat-
ter how smart and ruffled our new
taffetas and ginghams may be, we
must streak across the campus back
of Inman and pay Miss Phi’s beauty
parlor a visit, before our toilets are
really complete.

We may be bedraggled and tired

|

and hopeless looking when we enter,
but after a half hour with Mrs. Moore
and the curling irons and the electric
vibrator and about fifty other things
we don’t know the names of, we step
forth from the shop quite different
from the way we entered it.

Are Agnes Scott girls pretty? You
bet they are. And Miss Phi’s beauty
parlor is making them prettier than
ever.

The number of representatives who

ics?”

MME. BORGISLOV GIVES PRO-
GRAM FOR AGNES SCOTT.

Agnes Scott girls in the past years
have enjoyed many opportunities of
meeting celebrities, but those who
attended the program of songs given
by Madame Ruano Borgislov last
week in the Propylean Hall feel that
this was quite a unique opportunity.

Madame Borgislov, or Mrs. Ricordo
Martin, is an American by birth but
her parents were both Europeans—
her father being Polish and her
mother Russian. Mme. Borgislov has
traveled widely and is the wife of the
famous opera singer, Ricordo Martin,
who has been heard several seasons
with the Metropolitan Opera Com-
pany, and is most pleasantly remem-
bered by many of us.

Mme. Borgislov is a very gifted
artist and has a most attractive per-
sonality besides, and her appearance

j}at Agnes Seott was a delightful and

interesting event. The songs of this
singer are mostly Slavic folk-songs in
the Russian, Polish, or Czecho-Slovak.

This beautiful and gifted singer has
been a notable entertainer of New
York, Newport and Palm Beach so-
ciety this season, and was heard in
Atlanta under the auspices of the
Atlanta Woman's Club. Of course
Agnes Scott could not miss such an
opportunity, and thanks to the efforts
of Miss Sutphen we had the oppor-
tunity to hear Mme. Borgislov. We

that} enjoyed her program very much, and
| feel greatly honored by her visit.

ATHLETIC OFFICERS
ELECTED.

Just before spring holidays, three
tore athletic officers were elected by
the student body. The officers are
Ethel Ware, vice-president; Winona
Peck, secretary, and Hilda McConnell,
treasurer. These girls, together with
Althea Stephens, president, have
chosen the rest of the members of
the Athletic Board for the 1921-22
session, but they have decided not to
make the appointments until later on.
With such a group of officers, the

the Agnes Scott athletes slowly and

is a fitting climax for such an inter-

The managers chose the most cap-
able and interested men as judges,
who were Dr. McCain, Mr. Johnson

ROMANCE.

“Dear Mr. Smith,” she wrote to me.
And 1? I said, “Dear Mabel.”

Then she replied, “Dear Ned” to me
As soon as she was able.

“Dearest” just lasted one short week,
“My Darling” sounded better;
But somehow things weren't quite so
sweet
In her responding letter.

So “Dearest” paid another stay
Still shorter than the first one;

And then it, too, just slid away,
And things were almost done.

For then, “Dear Ned” declined, you
see,
“Dear Mabel” followed faster;
“Dear Mr. Smith,” she wrote to me.
And I? I didn’t answer.

MY GIRL.

She’s the homeliest girl in Virginia,
She looks like a snowball in spring,
Just one hank of hair,
And freckled—I'll swear,
She’s the sorriest bet in the ring.

Put surely there’s one consolation,
And I know that happy I'll be,
For go where I please,
My mind is at ease,
‘Cause no one will steal her from me.
—Virginia Reel,

She nestled against the two strong
arms that held her, She pressed her
flushed cheek against the smooth
skin-so near-so tan-so glowing.

“How handsome!” she cried, her
eyes noting the fine straight back, the
sturdy, weil-shaped legs.

“How handsome!” she repeated.
“T adore a leather upholstered chair.”

THE AGONISTIC

JULIA HAGOOD AND EMMA
JONES REPRESENT A. §. C.

AT RICHMOND COLLEGE
DAY.

Present Original Stunt, ‘‘Every
Girl.”’

Tf anyone thinks that Agnes Scott
girls just sit back on their laurels and
rest, after the long and arduous labor
of getting a diploma, she is sadly
mistaken. Agnes Scott has for sev-
eral years past been trying to get a
representation in the various college
days held throughout the country
once every year, and this year we
have had the very best representa-
tives possible at Richmond—Julia
Hagood and Emma Jones, sent espe-
cially by Dr. Gaines.

The meeting there was held in the
large Y. W. C. A. auditorium, with all
the students from the Richmond high
schools and the counties near there
present. The program consisted of a
stunt by the Westhampton girls, songs

| by Randolph-Macon, yells by Vassar

and a stunt by A. S. C. entitled
“Every Girl,” and when you know
that Emma wrote it herself, there is
no need to tell you how very clever
it was and how well it took.

The meeting was well attended and
certainly worth while, for some of the
high school children had been lahor-
ing under the impression that Agnes
Scott was only a two-year school, as
they expressed it, a finishing school
so to speak. Dr. Gaines is enthusias-
tic about the success of this initial
attempt that he has arranged for the
same girls to go to Nashville, Knox-
ville and perhaps Birmingham, to
show those who are preparing to en-
ter some college, just how high Agnes
Scott is ranked and just what high
ideals she stands for.

A VOCABULARIC DUEL.

A Kentucky lawyer was standing on
the steps of the Covington postoffice
the other day, when an old colored
man came up and, touching his hat,
asked:

“Kin you tell me, is dis de place
where dey sells postage stamps?”

“Yes, sir, this is the place,” replied |

the lawyer, seeing a chance for a lit-
tle quiet fun, “but what do you want
with postage stamps, uncle?”

“To mail a letter, sah, of course.”

“Well, then, you
about stamps; you don’t have to put
any on this week.”

“T don’t?”

“No, sir.”

“Why—for not?”

“Well, you see, the conglomeration
of the hypothenuse has differentiated
the parallelogram so much that the
consanguinity don't emulate the or-

'dinary effervescence, and so the goy-

ernment has decided to send letters
free.”

The old man took off his hat,
dubiously shook his head, and then

with a long-drawn breath, slowly re-)

marked:

“Well, Boss, all dat may be true,
an’ I don’t say it ain’t; but just sposen
dat de ecksentricity of de aggrega-
tion transubstanshuates de ignomini-
ousness of de puppindickeler and sub-
limites de puspicuity of de conse-
quences—don’t you qualificate dat de
government would confiscate dat dere

LUCK TO YOU,
DEBATERS!

Vol. VI

DEBATERS LEAVE SUN-
DAY FOR R. M. W. C.

Agnes Scott Hopes For Double
Victory.

About the most exciting and most
talked of thing about the campus
now is the debate, and rightly, for in-
deed the debate is one of the biggest

events in Agnes Scott’s year. Every-
body is uniformly confident of suc-
cess. On all sides are heard the

and

praises of our debating teams,
the bare thought of failure or de-
feat has never entered into the ques-

tion.

The team leaves Sunday night, and
everyone is planning to see them off
with true Agnes Scott pep, and to let
them know that Agnes Scott stands
behind them as a body, and expects
great things of them. This team goes
to Randolph-Macon, and is composed
of Anna Marie Landress and Nell
Buchanan, with Eleanor Carpenter as
un alternate. Miss Hearon will ac-
company them as chaperon.

The team that stays here is com-
posed of F. C. Markley and Charlotte
Bell with Martha Stansfield as alter-
nate,. These debaters have all proven
themselves capable in many well-
rendered debates, and Agnes Scott
feels certain that she could not have
ehosen a better team to represent
her in this debate.

The debates this year are especially
interesting because this is the first
time that they have been arranged in
this way, ang there is the possibility
of a double victory, thus adding 2
double amount of interest.

So let's all be down to tell them
“Good bye” in a way they won’t soon
forget and although the fact that it
is Sunday may prevent the noisy and
hilarious send-off which Agnes Scott
would like to give them, still for all
that it will be none the less sincere.

The most exciting part will be wait-
ing to hear from the debate, but we)
are aH confident that our girls will
come out on top.

Whatever comes, Agnes Scott is
vastly proud of her debaters, and
liails them as the greatest ever. The
love and confidence of the whole stu-
dent body goes with them, and each
and every one wishes them all the
snecess in the world.

MAY DAY BOOK TO BE MADE.

Will Contain Programs and
Pictures.

Miss Longshore has arranged a
place place in the library for a May
Day book. Along with this book will
be kept the Blackfriar book and files
of the Agonistie, of the Aurora, and
of the Silhouette. These books will
always be on*file and will be a source
of great pleasure to the students.

Although other events that happen
at Agnes Scott are long looked for-
ward to and then remembered for
long times afterwards, May Day is
especially remembered because it is
so pretty and then because it is
springtime. Everyone likes to read a
program of the May Day that was
held the year before and also see the
story as it is worked out in pictures.
When this book is put in the library,
everyone can go there and have her
desire fulfilled for the programs and
the pictures are to be put in this
book. Some pictures of the preced-
ing May Days have been secured but
if anyone has any pictures from last
vear that she can contribute, they
would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to the other books that)
are to be placed on file, there is
a general college book in which
are to be placed programs of all en-
tertainments. These programs begin
with the Pageant that was given sev-
eral years ago under the directions of
Miss McKinney and Miss Markley.
This book is given through the kind-

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the

Fluttering and dancing in the
breeze.

| Continuous as the stars that
shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretch in never-ending

Along the margin of a bay:

Outdid the sparkling waves in

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed and gazed, but little

What wealth the show to me

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vaeant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon the inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleas-

And dances with the daffodils.

AGNES SCOTT SENDS MONEY
FOR CHINESE RELIEF,
Will Have Two Meatless Dinners
a Week,

“None of us at Agnes Scott have
ever been really hungry. Perhaps
there have been times when we

thought that we were just about as
hungry as a body could get—at any
rate as hungry, and more so, than we
liked to be, but we never really got
so very hungry, because there was al-
ways the possibility of good food and
plenty of it soon.

We have had
sented to us at various times this

various pleas pre-

year for various nations that are in
distress and we have given more or
less liberally as purse or inclination
allowed. But now a plea comes which
—though not new—seems to strike us
as particularly demanding our aid
and interest. This is the plea from
China. Millions there are starving,
actually weeks,
months without sufficient food to keep
them alive and finally dying.

And three cents provides just
enough food to keep one person alive
for one day—one person like our
father or our mother, or a little child
like our little sister or brother! (A
dollar saves such a life for a week.)
So when Dr. Caldwell spoke in Y. W.
service Sunday evening and presented
the appeal anew a purpose was def-
initely formed in our minds that we
must help these people in some way.

The way decided upon by the stu-
dent body in the last open meeting of
Student Government Association was
that we would do without meat twice
§ week every week from now until
the end of the semester. The amount
that would be spent providing meat
amounts to about $400, and this sum
| will be sent as A. S. G.’s contribution
to the life saving fund.

So when we have no meat for meals
let’s not grumble or assume a martyr-
like attitude, but be thankful that we
have the means to give, and when we
write to our folks about it or tell
other people let’s have them under-
stand that it was our idea and that
we're doing this bit of relief work
willingly, joyfully and prayerfully.

Student Government
Conference § Successful

NEXT CONFERENCE TO BE
AT SOPHIE NEWCOMB.

Delegates Report Enjoyable
Time,

The Southern Intercollegiate Stu-
dent. Government conference which
met at Agnes Scott during three days
last. week was most successful. About
fifty colleges were represented, dele-
gates coming from about twenty-five
colleges south of the Mason-Dixon
| line,

Most of the delegates arrived Tues-
| day, and on Tuesday night, an Agnes
| Scott sing and a Blackfriar play were
| etven in their honor. Wednesday

morning the sessions began. On that
day Hoasec gave a tea in the Sil-
/houette Tea Room, and the Aluninae
| took them for a drive around At-
jJanta. Wednesday night the Cotillion
Club gave a dance in the gymnasiuin,
j;jand Thursday, the Y. W. C. A. gave
a tea. The college was planning a
trip to Stone Mountain Thursday
afternoon, to cook supper and come

back by moonlight, but on account
of the inclement weather that plan
had to be abandoned. Thursday

| night there was an open meeting, to
which all the college community was
invited. Dr. McCain made an in-
spirational address to the delegates,
which was much enjoyed. by every
one, and which gave the girls much

| tion.

the success of student government;
relation of faculty to student; inter-
collegiate relations; extending honor

tory schools; the probation system;
and other like subjects. Agnes Scott
was officially represented at these
meetings by Margaret McLaughlin,
President of Student Government,
Nell Buchanan, President-elect, and
Cama Burgess, Vice-President-elect.

On Friday morning the last session
of the conference was held. At this
session, the officers of the association
were elected. They are:

President—Nell Buchanan,

Agnes Scott feels that it has been
an especial privilege to have this con-
ference meet with us, and that we
have gained much from the conven-
tion. It has made us feel in closer
touch with our sister colleges in the
South, and has brought before us the
fact that these colleges have prob-
lems very similar to ours, that must
he solved. The fact that we have our
association, not because we know no
better, but because it best suits our

artists. One feature of the
afternoon was a reading by Martha |
Lee Taliaferro. Those Agnes Scott
girls who took part in the stunt are:

Jeanette “ Archer—the girl.

Jeanette Landrum—the hero.

Polly Stone—the heroine.

Hazel Bordeaux—the villain.

Frances Amis—the dog.

needs is very important to each of us.

In these conferences, we come to
realize the bigness and real value of
Student Government. Colleges all
over the world are getting to be self-
governing. The conference also made
us realize that without individual re-
sponsibility we could do _ nothing.
Until the students separately realize
| to the fullest extent that they are re-
| sponsible not only for their own
| honor, but for their neighbor’s also,

Student Government will never be

Scott a broader vision. May we keep
| that vision, and make use of it.

THE INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE—AND YOU.

On next Tuesday night come the Intercollegiate debates, and Agnes
Scott has to redeem herself for her defeat of last year by taking the de-
cision from Sophie Newcomb, and by winning a victory in new territory
over Randolph-Macon. This is no easy task, but it requires all the strength
and enthusiasm and spirit of the student body of Agnes Scott.

It is everybody’s duty to stand behind these debaters, and to make |
them feel that behind them there are the good wishes of the student body
who will push them on to victory with a never-failing spirit. So often we
are prone to think that when duties are definitely given out to some girls,
then we have no part in seeing them administered. But debates are often
won by the whole-souled enthusiasm of the debaters.
debaters realize that we want them to win, that we are behind them to a
man, then that will go a long way toward filling them with the determina-
tion to win.

If we can make our

The responsibility for these debates does not rest upon the six debaters
we have chosen alone, but it rests upon each of us. How are we going to
meet that responsibility? Are we going to indifferently sit in our room
when the debates are going on, and then criticize if we lose?
not do your share in enthusiastic support of your college in this battle,
and if Agnes Scott loses, then you yourself are in part responsible for the
defeat.

If you do

Intercollegiate debating is the only form of intercollegiate activities
we take part in. It is in these debates that we have the best opportunity
to prove our metal, to uphold our college and to show our spirit. Let us)
not prove unworthy in this crisis.

HAVE YOU PAID YOUR BUDGET?

If you have not—and unfortunately there are a large number of girls
who have not—then the Agonistic wants to voice public opinion, in urging
you to pay it.

There are several reasons why you should pay your budget.

First, you |
In order to keep the com-|
munity up to standard, to support the publications and the organizations
without which our college would not be recognized, and would not be a
profitable place in which to spend our time, a certain amount of money is
necessary. As a loyal citizen, you should pay for the privilege which you |
enjoy.

_ Secondly—You should pay your budget because it is not fair to others
who do pay for you not to do so. Haven’t you more pride than to have
others support the organization from which you derive much benefit—the
student government, Y. W. C. A., etc. You cannot have the real respect of
others unless you meet your honest obligations. |

Thirdly—You ought to pay your budget to gain your own self-respect.
You may say that you haven’t the money, but is that really true? Are we
not misrepresenting things in order to ease an uneasy conscience?

And lastly, we ought to pay the budget because the organizations need
the money. They count on the money that you are expected to pay to |
meet their expenses. When you fail to live up to your obligation, then they
go in the hole.

Another interesting: speaker will be
Mr. Chan, a native born Chinese, who
is also a theological student at Emory.
He is studying to go back with a mes-
sage for his own people. His slight

foreign accent is: very attractive, and
his earnestness makes him an im-
pressive speaker. He will tell of con-
ditions in his own land, as only a na-
tive can understand them.

Lest those not interested should
think that the Student Volunteer
movement is entirely visionary and
that its only accomplishments are
still promises, a returned missionary,
who used to be traveling secretary
for the Association, will tell some-
thing of her work in the Orient, and
of her attitude toward foreign mis-
sion werk since she has found out
exactly what it is.

There is so much enthusiasm at
Tech and Emory and Oglethorpe with
regard to this rally that the Volun-
teers here feel sure that there will be
a good many from Agnes Scott who
will like to attend, and so they have
arranged everything so that you can

with little trouble. If you are inter-
ested, just speak to Ruth Hall, and
she will see to making up parties and
getting chaperones for them.

A VISITING SPEAKER.

The Y. W. C. A. was especially
glad to have Dr. Charlie Myers to
speak in chapel while our conference
delegates were here; for we were
glad for our visitors to know that we
welcome outside speakers.
Dr. Myers is pastor of a Presbyterian
church in Greensborough, North Car-
olina; he has been in Atlanta recently
conducting a series of meetings in

the North Avenue Presbyterian
church. But of even greater personal
interest to us is the fact that he is
the uncle of Frances Myers and Jo-
sephine Logan. Those who know
something of the difficulty of getting
speakers when we want them will ap-
préciate his coming out to talk to us.

EXAMS!

Every member of cabinet commis-
sion is required to take an examina-
tion before she is installed. Conse-
quently all of next year’s cabinet offi-
cers took theirs last week, before the
installation service on Sunday. Their
papers have been sent on to Field
headquarters, but no report has come
from them yet. Those who took the
exam are properly modest about their
papers, but the rest of us feel sure
that they all did credit to Agnes
Scott.

‘The opening dance of the Agnes|
Scott Cotillion Club, held in the}
symnasium last Wednesday night, |
was the most brilliant affair of the |
season. Decorated in green and)
white, with festoons of honeysuckle
decorating the walls, and dainty
jack o’ lanterns hung here and there,
the gym was transformed into a verit-
able fairy land. At one end of the
ball was the punch table, presided
over by some of the members of
Hoasc, and banked around with ferns. |

When the guests arrived, they were
escorted to the daintiest of dressing
rooms to take off their capes. Soon
the music—Tope’s well-known orches-
tra—began and the couples lined up
for the grand march, led by Nell Buc-
hanan, President of the Cotillion
Club, and Kathlyn Hodges of Ran-
dolph-Macon.

During the intermissions there were
dances by members of the Cotillion
Club. The first was a dance by Amy
Twitty and Virginia Burum, dressed
in green and white paper costumes,
which was heartily applauded. Later
Ruth Kaiser gave a solo dance. The
grace and beauty of this dance was
commended very highly by the guests
who enjoyed it very much. During
the evening, these dancers gave out
favors to the guests, and horns, bal-
loons, and streamers added much to
the gaiety and festivity of the oceca-
sion.

The

dance lasted until ten-thirty,
when the last strains of “Home,
Sweet Home” made people realize
that the dance was at an end. About!
hundred tired but enthusiastic
dancers trailed regretfully from the
scene of festivity, declaring that the
dance had been a huge success.

The success of the dance was due
in large part to the efforts of Lucy
Wooten at the head of the various |
committees, and Charlotte Keesler,
who was in charge of the decorations.

they were here. Wednesday morning
members of Hoase gave a tea in the

TWO NEW STUDENT PAR-
LORS.
Little Rooms in Inman and Re-
bekah Refurnished,

“They say that Cozy Corners,
They ain’t got no style’—

But whoever, said that is very
muchly mistaken, because the two
most popular places on the campus
are the “Cozy Corner” Student Par-
lors in Inman and Rebekah. How
could you blame any live girl for lik-
ing a little room that looks like home
and that is really her own?

“Reed furniture is the most desir-,
able when ‘coziness’ is the effect to|
be produced,” so Miss Lewis, who
was kind enough to help select the |
and reed was the

furniture, said,
choice.

Imagine a settee full of friendly
sofa pillows in one corner of a little
room, a big, comfortable rocker in an-
other part, and in the center a nice
round reed table, and of course the
pianos are still there, your imagina-
tion will have conjured up for you a
picture of the little “cozy corner”
Student Parlors that we now own.
Inman’s room boasts of a new rug:
and while Rebekah’s aren’t quite new,
they are awfully pretty. Oh yes! and

Dreams are realizable even though
Mr. and Mrs. Inman had to give their
daughter into the wholly bond of pad-
lock and Eunice Dean give a fire drill
to make the girls in Inman realize
that dreams are in our reach. Re-
bekah and Main had given their
money readily but Inman lacked what
seemed a fortune. Even the sacrifice
of Shesha had not been suffictent and
so a fire drill. “Inman
hall has got the pep” and she sure did |
show it by the way she came across |
with the necessary money. Part of)
it was only pledged though. Inman).
you have yet to live up to your:
pledges; we know you will, but let's)
get it in before the fatal first.

The greatest mystery of the season
has been enacted while the committee
was “stra‘ghtening up.” The little or-|
gan that has for years graced the |
ante-room of the chapel has vanished |
into space. Where it is, nobody |
knows, but we were glad to see it go. |
This organ has concealed from us for |

concealed these truths from us that

we needed to know for a long time.
The girls to whom we owe a vote

of thanks for serving on the “Dream

rold and Lucy Wooten.

in the shape of Atlanta photographers

It no longer startles us as we
stream out of the chapel door each
morning to find said photographers
ambushed behind tall, spindly legged
cameras ,prepared to use all types of
tactics, from respectful kindness to in-
sulting brusqueness. The employer of
the first type gently placed us where
the sun would not shine in our eyes,

THE AGONISTIC

Y. W. C. A. SUMMER CAMP OPENS
AT HIGHLAND ON MAY 30.

The announcement that the Y. W.
c. A. summer camp at Highland, Ga.,
will be open for this season on May
30 brings a thrill of joy to the girls
and young women of Atlanta and
other states even as far as Louisiana,
as many of these girls, singly and in
groups, are besieging the Y. W. ad-/
ministration office, Peachtree Arcade,
to learn what new the camp will have
this summer, new meaning to them
what they are to have in new pleas-
ures and attractions, with possibly a

few new rules. The camp improve-
ments are as follows: First, Miss
Lucy Marvin Adams, Y. W. C. A.

health education director, will again)
be camp director for this season. Ten-
nis courts are being constructed; the
Nickajack swimming pool is being
deepened and enlarged; Mrs. Charles
A. Conklin, camp chairman, is per-
sonally superintending the building
of attractive quarters for the camp
counselors and flowers are being
planted around the farm house.

New Rules: Girls may register for
and stay at camp this season longer
than one week. The rule has been,
since the opening of the camp, three
years ago, that girls stayed at camp
only one week with the privilege of
returning at different times, but not
staying in sueccess‘on. This season |
girls may stay at camp one month or}
longer if they so desire.
seventy-five girls were accommodated
at camp each week. This season 100
or more will be received each week.
Matrons will be welcome at camp this
season, this being a change in rules
from last summer when matrons were
not registered for camp except in un-
usual cases. The desire of many
matrons of the Y. W. C. A. health
center to go to camp has caused am-
ple provision to be made for their
registration. College groups of girls
will entertain house parties at camp
this season which is an additional at-
traction being offered.

Study Courses: In order that girls
may enjoy a vacation and yet make
up necessary work, coaching will be
given in high school and college sub-
jects. A regular schedule will be ar-
ranged with competent instructors in
charge. A woman physician, Dr.|
Dorothy Bocker, is engaged for this
season. She will give a complete
course in first aid each month. This
course will be given three times dur-|
ing this summer. Miss Adams, free
of charge to all girls, will give one-|
half hour daily to Swedish gymnas-
tics.

Last season |

During the entire season regular
programs will be given on Friday and
Saturday nights, to consist of music,
vaudeville, games and dramatics. The
programs will express the original
ideas and talents of the girls and will
be presented by them for the enter-
tainment of those in camp.

The camp has an immense garden
that will supply the table with fresh
vegetables. Ice will be sent out daily

from Atlanta, also mail will be de-

and develop the camp. The purpose

includes no plan to make money, but

is to give girls a summer vacation at

the least possible expense.
Attractions.

Swimming, wading, hikes, straw
rides, picnics, blackberry hunts, im-
promptu plays, bacon and marshmal-
low bats on the big rock, stunts,
stories, sings or vesper talks around
the campfire in the evening—these
and many other attractions which the
originality of the girls suggest are
among the happy and wholesome
features of camp life at Highland.

Rates: Seven dollars per week;
$1.50 per day; $5 from Monday p. m.
to Saturday a. m.; $2 for week-end— |
Saturday p. m. to Monday a. m.

Registration: Guests must regis-|
ter at Y. W. C. A. office, Peachtree
Arcade, before going to camp. A reg-|
istration fee of $1 will be charged
which will be deducted from board.
No refund if cancelled. Reservations |
can be made only upon payment of
registration fee. No one will be ad-
mitted to camp without registration
card.

Each guest may bring two pieces
of hand baggage; no trunks allowed.
Hach guest is requested to bring her
own sheet, pillow-slip, towels, soap
and kimona. Bloomers, middies, rub-
bers, old skirt, heavy shoes, bathing
suit and extra blanket are desirable.

Every girl makes her own bed,
keeps her part of the camp neat and
clean and does her share of the gen-
eral camp work.

Director and Counselors.

Assisting Miss Adams, camp 4di-
rector, will be the following coun-
selors: Miss Julia Peacock and Mrs.

EXCHANGES

The members of the tank team will
open the season by meeting Clemson
and W. & L. in a three-cornered swim-
ming meet. Tech will meet Vander-
bilt later in the season, and perhaps
Auburn—Technique.

Plans are being made at M. S. C.
W. for a new dormitory, hospital and
other buildings. This expansion has
been made possible by land given by
the city, and by money appropriated
by the State.—Spectator.

The University of Mississippi is to
have a picture show on the campus.
The purpose is to raise money to help
complete the track and stadium. If
it proves a success, the picture show
on the campus will become a perma-
nent institution, the proceeds derived
going to the building up of better
athletics in “Ole Miss.’—Mississip-
pian.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND BLUE
RIDGE.

1. Because of the beauty and charm
of the place, the cool breezes, the
tramps to the hills, sunrises and sun-
sets from the tops of the mountains—
the cordial of youth, the challenge of
the spirit—dreams and blue skies and
distance and forests and ferns and
wild flowers.

2. Because of the delightful recrea-
tion programs, the college games and
delightful fellowships, the contagions
of the best in the -natural sharing of
wholesome life.

3. Because of interesting and help-
ful studies and insights into new and
splendid tasks, the appeal of great ad-
ventures for humanity, and the abid-
ing strength of fellowship formed in
those never-to-be-forgotten associa-
tions.

4. Because of inspirational and no-
table addresses which you cannot af-
ford to miss.

5. Because the work back in the
college needs you as leaders to take
back to its life and tasks just what
Blue Ridge has to give, viz: a new
sense of religious values, a deepen-
ing of the spiritual life, new effi-
ciency, new insights, new consecra-
tion.—Technique.

“Nothing in life is more remarkable
than the unnecessary anxiety which
we endure and generally occasion
ourselves.” —Carplinian.

“What kind of an association would

ours be,
If all of its members were just like

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TO
MEET THURSDAY EVEN-
ING AT TECH Y. M.

C. A.
The Atlanta Student Volunteer

Union will meet Thursday, April 21,
at 7:30 o’clock at the Tech Y. M. C.

All the college young people of
the city and the members of the B. Y.
P. U.’s, Epworth Leagues and Chris-
tian Endeavors are invited.

The program will be in the interest
of modern missionary activities.
There will be a talk by Dr. Cate, who
sails for Korea this summer, under
the Methodist board. Mr. Chan, a
Chinese student at Emory, will tell of
some of the conditions in China from
his own experience. <A returned mis-
sionary from the Orient will probably
also give an address. Miss Margaret
McLaughlin, of Agnes Scott, and Mr.
Barnes, of Bmory, will sing solos.

The Atlanta union is composed of
volunteers in the various colleges and
universities of the city and has 50
members. The officers of the union
are: Mr. Morris Paty, of Emory,
president; Miss Ruth Hall, of Agnes
Scott, vice-president: Miss Lillian Mc-
Alpin, of Agnes Scott, daughter of the
oldest Presbyterian missionary in
Japan, secretary; Mr. Perry Mullinax,
of Emory, treasurer. The Atlanta un-
ion has two large meetings a year,
and it is hoped that this one will be
the best of the year and that there)!
will be a large attendance.

DRESS REHEARSAL FOR MAY)
DAY TUESDAY.

Everyone Be On Time.

on Tuesday the 26th there will be a
dress rehearsal. Of course the
dresses will be pinned and only tem-
porarily draped, but the effect will be
much the same. Photographers from
the Atlanta papers will be out to take
pictures for the Sunday editions of
those groups whose costumes are
most nearly finished. So if you
want to have your group taken, get
to work on your costume.

Now the success of May Day de-
pends on the success of the prac-
tices, and the success of the practices
depends on each one of us. Therefore
it is up to each of us to have our cos-
tume ready and to be prompt at the
dress rehearsal on Tuesday morning.

SENIOR OPERA CO.
HERE MAY 5th

“SAMSON

WILL PRESENT
AND THE LIA

Many New Stars.

Agnes Scott has been favored of
late by many and famous speakers
and has enjoyed unusual entertain-
ments, but without doubt the best at-
traction of the season is the famous
opera, “Samson and the Liar,” to be
presented by the special condescen-
sion of the Senior Opera Company,
perhaps the best known and most
popular of all metropolitan com-
panies, not excepting the talented |
players who have been in Atlanta)
during the past week.

As the title suggests, this opera is
distinctly tragic in tone, which gives
the characters a particularly fine
field for the display of their genius.
Filled with pathos from beginning to
end, it will wring tears from the heart

of the most unresponsive listener,
tears which it will be a privilege to
shed. The company is most fortunate
in having enlisted the talent of four
of the most: sought-after stars.

First of all Lucillini Smithshirew-
ski, of whose fame it is needless to
speak, will take the role of the Liar,
a part which this star is particularly
well-suited to fill. With her wide ex-
perience and her really marvelous
voice, it is quite certain that she will

has so otten dole’ In the past. —

Heleni Wayhiti, the famous tenor,
is equally well-known among music
lovers. His tall and manly beauty,
along with his deep and resonant
voice, are enough to insure to us a
remarkable treat.

Finally Heleni Wayhiti and Rachel-
Jo Rustonovitch and Margaretta Mc-
LLaughliniami, baritone and contralto
respectively, are to assume roles of
almost equal importance, which seem
to have been composed for their own
' particular voices, so well do they

in these countries, they will return to
Montreal, Canada, in September.

The trip sounds too lovely and in-

that Mrs. Sydenstricker will have
much that is instructive and interest-

CAMPAIGN UNDER FOOT FOR
GREATER TECH.

Anyone who has seen the campus

| dotted with khaki uniforms lately or

who has been wakened from a com-
fortable doze in the library by a va-
riety of yells from a passing street car
will probably want to know the why
of this untoward circumstance.

The “why” was the Georgia Tech
campaign for the purpose of raising
funds to enlarge the plant. Tech at
present owns a very large tract of
|land near the college where she hopes
to erect dormitories and classroom
buildings. Her ambition is to enlarge
the capacity of the school sufficiently
to accommodate five thousand stu-
dents.

EMORY GLEE CLUB
MAKES ANNUAL
VST

Opera Presented “‘I Smell
’ $Smoke.’’ |

Grand opera was enjoyed at Agnes
Scott a week earlier than usual, when
last Saturday night the Emory Glee
Club paid its annual visit. We have
j always agreed on the merits of Em-
|ory’s Glee Club, but never before
have they presented qu‘te such an in-

teresting program.

Especially enjoyable were the songs
by Mr. Barnes, who took the leading |
bass in the Messiah chorus given be-|
fore Christmas. Mr. Warner sang
also, and proved further to have an un-
usual dramatic ability which was dis-
played in his role of heroine of the op-
era, “I Smell Smoke.”

The Rag Time Court gave proof of
|}the “power of the law” in syncopa-

tion and was conducted in perfect
rhythm. Yhe “Tendiniie “ciaracters
were unusually good. Mr. Eubanks

and Mr. Osteen, in the roles of mother
and daughter, were invincible, and
gave us the opportunity of getting the
masculine viewpoint of the manners
of the weaker sex.

A bit of variety was offered in the
whistling of “Listen to the Mocking
Bird” by Mr. Partin, and not the least
in attraction were the mandolin club
and orchestra, who had a noble share
in the entertainment during the even-
ing.

The Glee Club was declared, by all
who heard it, a huge success, and
those who did not attend missed a
“mighty good time.” After the per-
formance, the Agnes Scott Glee Club
entertained them at a reception in
Rebekah Scott lobby.

PLANS FOR MAY FETE

FIRST DRESS REHEARSAL.

Dances To Be Repeated in
Atlanta,

The first dress rehearsal for “Pan-

Scott, was held on Tuesday morning,
April 26, All morning graceful nymphs
and dryads flitted over the campus and
peeped around the trunks of the tall
oaks. The scene was a lovely one and
gave promise of a more beautiful May
Day festival than has ever been given |
here before.

Both the dances and costumes this
year are exceptional in their beauty.
For some weeks past over a hundred
and fifty girls have been practicing
under the direction of Misses Wade
and Wilburn. The new dances af-

ford much opportunity for grace, és-
pecially: those of the companions of

LYNCHBURG RETURNS
VICTORIOUS,

As far as debating is concerned,
Agnes Scott simply walked away with
all the honors Tuesday night. After
the decision had been rendered here
and the celebration over the victory

| Was under way, the news arrived from

Lynchburg that the A. S. C. team had
defeated Randolph-Macon by a ma-
jority vote of the judges. After that,
Agnes Scott was the very happ‘est

place on earth to be.

The news came by telegraph to Dr.
Gaines,

news, for Miss Spott Payne, one of our
alumnae who lives in Lynchburg, had
called over long distance.

Although
feated both times, we all know what
splendid and sportsmanlike teams she
had, and wish to congratulate her on

| her splendid work, for this is the first

time Randolph-Macon has ever taken
part in an inter-collegiate debate.
Our girls, Nell Buchanan, Anna

The triangular debate was a great

proved more conclusively the exist-

the occasion of the Newcomb-Agnes

STUDENT GOVERNMENT NEWS.

Time limit is now 7 o'clock.

The regular meeting of Student Government was held Monday evening
last week. The following announcements were made:

Students are reminded to be careful about noise and visiting after
lights and noise during quiet hour in the evening. Practors are asked to
give knocks for noise hereafter without giving warning.

Underclassmen are reminded that they cannot have dates in the lobby
of Rebekah Scott or in the society halls.

It was suggested that the office of student treasurer be connected with the

the Student Government Association hereafter, in order that the treasurer |,
may have the backing of this organization. This will be voted on in the
next meeting.

The girls who have not paid their budget for the second semester can-
not have their Annuals unless they pay three dollars.

The request was made that the subject of Juniors rooming with Seniors ;

next year be brought up in college council.

tomorrow afternoon we're to give them

refreshments, and I wish everyone of

Our ten days’ class in Chung-Ju
opens next Tuesday and I do hope will

was so big this year and our class is

coming rather late so I don’t know just

how many to expect.

Think of concluding Genesis in ten
days! In one of my

the life of Joseph from the 42nd chap-

for it; so you see why I really mustn’t

THE AGONISTIC

My darling Aggie:

We're so popular lately that you
wouldn’t know us—there are boys all
over the campus at all times of the
day. Well, even if they ARE canvass-
ing for “Greater Tech,” it’s quite re-
freshing to see so many “gentlemen”
all over the place. Wouldn’t it be nice
if Tech were just “next door” and
Emory were “across the street?”

You know last Saturday those adora-
ble “Emoryites” and their glee club
gladdened the hearts of A. S. C. girls
with their tender warblings and their
“bolshevik jazz.” :

Since we've won all the debates we
could find and have proved that our de-
baters are the best who can be found,
we're all excited and are sure now that
A. §. C. will furnish AT LEAST a pres-
ident of the United States some day!

But I meant to tell you about some-
thing that happened the night of the
Emory Glee Club, An Emory man fell
so hard for R, Price that it wasn’t
even funny. He asked everyone he
met who the cute little girl with dark
bobbed hair was, and when he found
out, he wasn’t happy until he'd met
her! What do you think about vamp-
ish people like that?

It’s getting to be no unusual thing
for us all to blossom forth in dinner
and evening dresses, but it still gives
us a thrill to see handsome youths all
dressed up in the‘r dress clothes, too.
Guess after we have a few more glee
clubs and the senior prom, that will
begin to ease its snap, too.

If you were to come by Agnes Scott
most any afternoon these days and

|saw the number of ears drawn up along

the edge of front campus, you would
think that “Miss Agnes” was having
an “at home” or somethin’ like that,
but it’s only a May Day practice on
the lawn in front of Inman. Judging
from the preliminary audience, the
erowds on May Day will most proba-
bly be record-breaking.

There hasn’t been any abatement in
the number of specials, flowers, candy
and dates that have been sent out to
“Miss Agnes.”

Frat-pins keep appearing daily. M.
Martin is the latest one I’ve noticed.
“He's” a Phi Psi and of course Mar-
guerite is proud as proud can be of it.
I don’t blame her, do you, Aggie?

Well, Aggie, dear, if you know any
news, let me hear from you at once.

Love and lots of it.

COMMENCEMENT PLANS.

Many Affairs Planned For Our
Seniors.

The annual had a Freshman thrill
story in it but the Senior thrills that
are in store for commencement are a
great deal larger in number than any
which the greenest of green Freshmen
has ever had.

The first th'ng on our program for
commencement this year is the Soph-
Senior tea-dance at East Lake. East
Lake is one of the most wonderful
pleasure resorts of Atlanta and a spe-
cial beauty feature at this time will
be furnished by the guests them-
selves, You ask what the “beauty
feature” is? Well, all the young la-
dies lucky enough to be Sophomores
or Seniors will wear light, fluffy
dresses and of course they will be very
lovely. An added attraction will be
wonderful music (they won’t say who
is to furnish it, but we know it will be
good).

Then the Sophomore sisters, those
blessed mortals, are going to give a
luncheon at the Georgian-Terrace on
Friday, the 20th. Imagine being there,
in that dream place, with your dear
Senior Sister! This is something
for which the Freshmen and Juniors
live in hopes and the Sophomores and
Seniors will realize.

On the Thursday before commence-
ment comes the wonderful “prom.”
The innovation of the season. ‘There
will be young men,”’ so Miss Hopkins
said, and immediately every Senior
began to rack her brain to decide
whom to invite, It is to be a fac-
ulty affair and will take the place of
the usttal reception.

The Juniors are very secretive about
their banquet, as is their custom, but
they will say that it is to be on the
Friday evening before commencement.
The Juniors have already signed up
for the Seniors that they are to take
and have made their dates. Even
though we don’t know a thing ahout
the banquet, except the date, vet we
know that it will be lovely since the

Seniors are the inspiration and the

Juniors the hostesses.
Of course the spring-play will be an-

Many Alumnae Members,

An eyent of especial interest to}
Agnes Scott because of the participa-
tion in it for former Agnes Scott girls
is the reception to be tendered the la-
dies of the Atlanta Presbyterial on
Thursday afternoon of next week.
The reception will be held in Rebekah
Scott lobby between the hours of five
and six. Committees of students will
be detailed to show the delegates the
beauties of our campus.

The Atlanta Presbyterial will hold
its annual meeting May 4-6 in the De-
eatur Presbyterian church. It is one
of the largest of the six presbyterials |
in the synodical of Georgia. The pres-|
byterial coyers twenty-two counties.
Sixty delegates are expected among
whom Agnes Scott numbets the Presi-
dent of the organization and several
members of the executive board as
former students.

NEWCOMB DEBATERS EN-
TERTAINED.

| Miss Woolley

Teas and Luncheons Given For
Visitors.

When visitors come, there is always
the question, How are we going to en-
tertain them? Last week, girls were
flying about making interesting plans
for the Sophie Newcomb debaters.
Such a string of luncheons, drives,
teas, and “things” makes us all wish
that we could be visitors just once.
The college was dressed in her best to
| receive them Monday morning.
| After lunch in Inman, Mrs. Boyd,
| who helped select judges for the visit-
ing debaters, took the guests and the
officers of the Debating Council for a
long, pleasant drive. She then enter-
tained them at a tea in the club house
at East Lake.

Monday night the guests enjoyed a
| delicious supper in White House din-
ing room.

Tuesday the debaters once more
drove out to the East Lake club—this
time for a luncheon given by the Lec-
ture Association.

The Student Government Associa-

Lobby Tuesday afternoon. Quite a
|/number of the Agnes Scott girls were
| invited to meet the Newcomb visitors.

Wednesday morning Katherine
Seay, a member of the Alumnae, en-
tertained the guests with breakfast
in the tea room.

After a long drive through Atlanta
/ Wednesday morning, the members ‘of
Pi Alpha Phi gave an _ elobarate
luncheon for the debaters at the
Ansley Hotel. In the afternoon Miss
Stevenson was hostess at a delightful
tea in her room at West Lawn, This

was one of the most enjoyable enter-
tainments for the visitors.

Wednesday night there was a supper
in the tea room with Julia Hagood,

who graduated here last year, as
hostess.
The Sophie Newcomb and Agnes

Scott debaters were entertained at the
Opera Wednesday night. This was an
unexpected treat for the New Orleans
girls.

Thursday morning the guests had a
pleasant drive to Stone Mountain
with the members of the Athletic As-
sociation. They enjoyed the climb up
the mountain and the view from the
top.

The girls in Rebekah Scott were
hostesses at a luncheon to the New-
comb girls on Thursday. The girls
left in the afternoon for their own col-
lege.

They endeared themselves to us all
by their praise of our college and their
delight in the entertainment we gave
them. Although we are proud and
glad that we won the debate, we are
sorry that their visit was marred by
their disappointment in their defeat.
They have shown us the real spirit
of Newcomb College and we are look-
ing forward to the time now when
we shall visit them next vear.

What two words go more beautifully

ALUMNAE.

Visitors At A. 8. C.

Everyone welcomes “K. Seay” again
at Agnes Scott! She was a very popu-
lar and brilliant member of the stu-
dent body, and graduated from this
college four years ago with the high-
est of honors, including a Gamma
Tau pin!

“K. Seay’ has been spending the
winter at her home in Nashville, and
has returned to pay us a two weeks’
visit.

Julia Hagood, of the class of "19, is
also a guest of the college. Julia
graduated so recently she is well
known by all the present student body
and always welcomed back.

GETTING INTO IT GRADUALLY.

“George,” said a Florida man to an
old negro in his employ, “I understand
that you intend to give your son an
education?”

“Dat’s my intention, suh,” respond-
ed George. “I know myself what ‘tis
to struggle along without learnin’, an’
IT has determined my son ain’t goin’
to have no sich trouble as Ise had.”

“Is your son learning rapidly?”

“He shore is, suh. Las’ week he
done wrote a lettah to his aunt what
lives more’n twenty miles from yere,
an’ afta while he’s goin’ to write to his
aunt dat lives ‘bout fifty miles from

“Why doesn’t he write to that aunt
now?” asked his employer.

“He ‘*kaint write so fur yit, suh.
He kin write twenty miles fust rate,
but I tole him not to try fifty miles

told the clerk she had left her son’s

QUESTIONS ASKED.

sion who was playing at the end of the
pier fell into the sea and was only)
rescued after great difficulty by an in-|
trepid swimmer, who dived off the end
of the pier and succeeded in getting |
the boy into a rowboat.

Half an hour afterward, much ex-
hausted by his effort, the rescuer was
walking off the pier when a man
came up and tapped him on the |
shoulder. |

“Are you the man who saved my
son Ikey’s life?” he said.

“Yes,” answered the much-exhausted
hero.

“Then,” said the Hebrew in indig-
nant tones, “v’ere’s his cap?”’—Tit

lion a la Mode,” one-act skits on the
present styles in dress, written by stu-
dents, were given in John M,. Greene
hall this evening. The plays were
written in competition for prizes of
$25, $15 and $10 offered for the best
one-act play advocating modesty in
dress. The three plays presented to-
night had been chosen out of the
many submitted. The names of the
authors were kept secret until the
audience had voted on the awarding
of the prizes as follows: First prize,
“A Million a la Mode,” by Katharine
Walker, '21, New York, and Mary
Short, °21, Worcester; second prize,
“Three Inches from the Floor,’ by
Lenore Wolf, ’21, of St. Louis, Mo,;
third prize, “Alice Through the Bou-
doir Glass,” by Ruth O'Hanlon, ’21, of
Geneva, N. Y.

“Alice Through the Boudoir Glass”
renewed her acquaintance with the
White Rabbit, the Duchess, the March
Hare and the Mad Hatter, besides
meeting the Debutante and the Vamp |
and the College Girl. From the lat-|
ter she learned that “The more de-
mure you are the further you ad-
vance,” and was invited to “take a
chance” on being appropriately
gowned, instead of “pretending to be
what she was not,” as the Vamp and
the Debutante did.

“Three Inches From the Floor’ was
laid in Soviet Russia, and told how
the Soviet regulation that all dresses
must be “three inches from the floor”
helped Anna Crepedechinoyvitch to win
the love of Shydn Retiringovitch
when “modern fashions” had fright-
ened him away.

“A Million a la Mode” proved that
the charmingly modest taste in dress)
of the Smith college girl is more ef-
fective in making “potential donors’
give millions to the college than any
other means devised. |

Each play was cleverly done and
pointed its moral clearly and joyously.
The plays were coached as well as)
acted entirely by the students, After
the plays, models from the class of
1923, which is leading in the campaign
for dress reform, exhibited costumes
from the leading New York shops,
proving that gowns may be beautiful
and modish without sacrificing suit-|
ability and modesty.

“To what do you attribute your
long life, Uncle Mose?” asked a news-
paper interviewer of a colored centen-
arian.

“Becuz ah was bo’n a long time
back,” the old gentleman replied.
