NEW FACULTY 
_ MEMBERS AND 
WHERE THEY 
ARE FROM 


Seven New Faculties at Agnes: 


Scott. 


Although Agnes Scott has lost a) 


good many of its most interested 


Yaculty members, she has been unus- 


‘ually fortunate in getting promising | 


“substitutes. The older girls will be 


especially interested in forming new | 
friends and new girls will be glad to! 


‘find that some one besides Fresh- 
jen must get acquainted. 

Everybody has been 
where the faculty of last year has scat- 
tered. We find Dr. White on the 
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 
it the physics department will prove 
“tena to tvafition this year and “annex

years later. Later she took some 
graduate work at Johns Hopkins and 
taught a little on the side. She had 
charge of the Department of Physies 
at Lake Erie for five years, and so 
we know she’s not only efficient, but 
will stick by us. 

The Sociology Department has an 
efficient head in Miss Annie H. Mar- 
tin of Chicago. Miss Martin is 
ing forward to her Ph.D. this 
mer, and holds an A.B. and an

Mrs. Margaret Fitzhugh is taking 


Dr. White’s place and is going to 


have philosophy and some psychol- |

from Ohio, an M.A. from Columbia | 


and is about to be a Ph.D. She's 
taught at Rockford, the University 
of Vermont and at Southern College, 


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

Miss Julia Rathermel is from Mount 
Helyoke, and is a friend of Miss 
Lupo. She likes Miss MacDougal and 
Agnes Scott, so she must have very 
good taste. The Department of Bi- 
ology has another find. 

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- 
cisk. Mr. Hampf has two German 
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!

Our sense of loss is too great, for 


Miss Young was everything to us 


that a fine professor, a Triend whose 


sythnpathy was unbounded, and a 
Christian character, whose life was 
all service for others could be. In 


everything that pertained to our col-

there was none more helpful. 
er we went to her for advice in per- 
sonal affairs or in those things that 
concerned the college community, we 
found the same ready counsellor and 
willing spirit. She helped us 
our little tasks that were hard, and 
again with student government af- 
fairs, our Y. W. C. A., our united war 
work drives—in fact, with everything 
that demanded real aid. 

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 
present student body, are not the only 
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 
left with us, a lasting inspiration to 
all of us and to all, who as Agnes

From the Information Booth to the

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,

BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS 


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. 

Another committee has charge of 


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. 


‘SERBIAN STUDENT EXPECT- 
ED SOON. 


Zorka Petrovitch Now On Way. 


Zorka Petrovitch, the Serbian refu- 
gee girl who is to be one of the stu- 
dents at Agnes Scott this year, has 
|not yet arrived. Those of us who 
|have been reading the articles carried 
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. 

The telegram reads, “We expect

it once more, and see if you don’t) 


the Y. W. C. A. meetings held Sun- 
day evening. The World Fellowship 
committee needs picture post cards 
for little foreign children, and start- 
ling facts for use on its bulletin 
board. x 


All of these committees and others 
will call on you soon for your al- 
legiance and support. When they do, 
remember the warm reception the Y. 
W. has given you, and be willing to 
give your time and talents in return. 


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. 


cable daily regarding Zorka’s  ar- 
rival.” So we hope she will be only 
a few days late, for we are all anxious 
to meet and talk to a girl who has 
seen and experienced so much.

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. 


WELL, WELL. 
“Times have certainly changed.” 
“What now?” 
“Saw an advertisement reading, 
|‘Be an artist and make money.’ ”’—

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 
us all the way out to Decatur, but 
Susie Reid (that’s her name) and 
Sarah (the other one) were so sweet 
to us that we would have been sorry 
the trip was out, if it hadn’t been 
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. 

1 was so excited I didn’t see any- 


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.”

thing except a purple and white in- 
formation booth the Y. W. C. A. had 
for the benefit of us freshies. A 
“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 
that Uncle Ben was no good in 
math, and that | took after him, al- 
though I told them about it several 
times. 

We danced in the gymnasium after 
supper and met lots of the old girls

and some more of our own “sister 
rats.” Gee! it’s great to be a rat, 
but the Sophs are telling us awful 
tales about what they’ll do to us next 
week! I hope I don’t have to wear) 
pigtails because they are terribly un-| 
becoming. 

Tonight we are all going to put on! 
our cutest kimonas and have floor) 
parties, isn’t that thrilling? And the | 
Y. W. gave a tea Thursday afternoon | 
and our reception came off Saturday 
night. I’m so glad I got the new 
evening dress now and really since 
I've seen some of the sleeveless af- 
fairs some of the girls have unpack- 
ed I’m glad mine has only a bunch 
of tulle on the shoulders. 

And, dears, you know the teachers 
are lovely! Some of them are just 
like the girls themselves. I asked | 
one of them if she was a freshman! 
Bound for me to pull a bone. 

I have no time to write you more 
now, because I must get ready for the 
party, but please send me some mail, 
for the older girls get loads of it. 
One girl named Margaret Smith gets 
five or six each mail. I wish I was 
popular like that! | 

I'm trying hard not to be home- 
sick and I'm happy here that it’s not) 
as hard to keep from it as I expected. | 

I love you all and want to see you’ 
but “Miss Agnes” has won my heart | 
and she'll keep it, as well as the rest 
of me, until December 17. } 

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. 
OPEN FORUM. 


This is to inform every one at Ag- 
nes Scott that the Open Forum is her 
own particular property, and that 


any opinion that she may want voiced | 


may be printed in this column. Let 
your fellow students know what you 
think of the various institutions, cus- 
toms, and traditions of Agnes Scott, 
and show every one that you have 
taken a personal interest in your 
school paper. 

Freshmen are urged to make use of 
the Open Forum, and any criticisms. 
either favorable or unfavorable, will 
ve gladly published.

cial Department, 
of the parties you have gone to | 
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.

CELEBRATION OF SIGNING 
OF CONSTITUTION HELD 
IN ATLANTA. 


Agnes Scott Represented.

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- 
three years during which it has 


have had to be added. She showed 
the superiority of our constitution 
over the easily changed one of 
France, and the unwritten one of Eng- 
land, which can be radically changed 
at any time by parliament. 
us a new appreciation of the docu- 
ment which makes possible govern- 
ment of the people, by the people, 
and for the people in this land of 
ours. 

After the principal address, the au- 
dience had a real treat in the read- 
ing of a selection from “Uncle Sam 
of Freedom Ridge,” which closed the 
principal part of the program. 

Agnes Scott was represented in the 
roll call of colleges by Eleanor Car- 
penter, Frances Markley and Anna 
Marie Landress.

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.

On Saturday night in the lobby of

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, 
| the president of Student Government.

the Silhouette; Nell Buchanan, Editor 
of the Agonistic, and Rachel Rushton, 
the Editor of the Aurora. 

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- 
cert Series, for Atlanta is truly the 
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 
many lectures and concerts which 


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- 
giving night and those who remem- 
ber how John McCormack turned 
away hundreds last Thanksgiving 
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.” 

Mr. Cortot, who was in Atlanta two 
years ago with the Orchestra of the 
Paris Conservatory, has been chosen 
to give the closing recital of the 
Civie Concert Series.

10 Per Cent of Girls Have Made 
No Payment, 


Last year about this time we were 
all bubbling over with enthusiasm in 
the Endowment Drive. Never before 
|has Agnes Scott witnessed such pep 
land energy. But it did not end with 
just pep and energy liberal pledges 
were not lacking and we were all so 
proud of ourselyes and always will be 
so When we think of how gloriously 
the college went over the top. 

However we must remember that 
|jthough we have gone over the top, 
fone ot the hardest parts of the fight 
is still left, the (paying of the 
pledges. It’s hard to keep up our en- 
thusiasm when there no singing 
and yelling and no one to cheer us on, 
but all of our work last year is worth 
nothing if our pledges are not paid.

the four hundred girls who

payment at all. Then, too, a large 
number have not paid their May 
pledges. These girls have received 
their notices and their reminders 
that their payments have been due 
for quite awhile, but apparently they 
are asleep. 

Tf we could only realize what it 
means when we eyen delay our pay-

on the very day. To each of the four 
thousand who subscribed Mr, Cun- 
ninghaum has to send a notice when 
the payment is due. And if every 
one delayed his payment (and cer-

HONORED, 


Have Poems Printed in Anthol- 
ogy of College Verse. 


Agnes Scott has now made another 
bid for fame through the talent of 


two of her most gifted students. Do 
you know that within-a few months 
every poetry lover in the country 
have an opportunity to read 
poems composed at Agnes Scott 
that the names of Janef Preston and 
Margaret Bland will appear in a vol- 
ume of verse entitled “Poets of the 
Future.” This book is an anthology 
of college yerse published yearly by 
the Stratford Publishing Co. of Bos- 
ton, and in which appear all the best 
poems selected from every American 
college publication.

Last year these two were 
put in the Aurora, a copy of which is 
sent each month to the editor of the 
publishing company. A few days ago 
Janef and Margaret were notified in 
a letter such as would gratify the 
heart of a poet laureate that their 
two poems had been chosen.

Since their poems were first writ-| 


though Janef has become a 
Senior, and Margaret a graduate, we 
wish our share of the glory which 
they have had the genius and for- 
tune to bestow on us. Only two 
other Agnes Scott girls have receiv- 
ed the same honor: Agnes White and 
India Hunt, several years ago. It 
seems only natural that Janef and 
Margaret should be the next two to 
receive this tribute of appreciation.

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 


At the beginning of this semester, 
members of K. U. B, interviewed the 
city editors of the Atlanta papers and 
secured positions as Agnes Scott cor- 
with a slight financial 
remuneration Nor do they intend 
to stop with the Atlanta papers. 
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

When Agnes Scott opened about 
the middle of September, the 
girls did not expect to see the Seniors 
of 1920. One Sophomore was heard 
to say that she felt just like a Fresh- 


man for the reason that so many of 


old 


the 1920 Seniors, alas, now Alumnae, 
had returned! In fact, the return of 
so many of the old girls has been one 
of the greatest “send-offs’” to the 
whole of A. S. C. on their embarka- 


{upon a new life among us.

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;

There Was of course some opposi-

which was not consistent with 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

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.

GIDDIE GOSSIP 


Dearest Aggie, 


most exciting 
time you ever heard of. Why? It’s 
Sophomore week, Aggie, and we are 
the “lords of creation” right now (or 
should I have said “‘ladies?”). I have 
never felt so important in my life 
and believe me these “rats” surely 
are a handful. “You tell ‘em rouge, 
my lips stick,” which reminds me 
that we are going to have a chance 
to tell the sheep from the goats, along 
lines of beauty, in the Freshman class 

. because all this week they can’t use 
a “speck” of rouge, or a dab of pow- 
der and you know, Aggie, that there 
are very few girls where beauty is 
even skin deep. It's usually applied 
“from without.” 


We are having the 


You know I’m beginning to think 
I'm an §S. B. (sad bird, y’ know). 
Just loads of girls get letters every 
day and sometimes they are all from 
the same person, S. R. Morton’s are 
anyway, for if Adam doesn't write 


every day, he telegraphs her, because 


you see she must know all the Au- 
burn news, and, Aggie, there must be 
enough pictures of good-looking fel- 


lows in the older girls’ rooms to 


start an art gallery. The new young- 
sters have some cute looking youths’ 
pictures in their rooms too. Aggie, 
do you know a real good looking 
“Arrow collar type” man who wouldn't 
mind renting me his photo just 
while I'm here at school? If you do, 
please give him my name and ad- 
dress, 

Ella says she’s getting “writer's 
cramp” from posting so many phone 
calls and special deliveries. Flowers 
haven’t started coming in yet, but 
then you see the rose season is over 
and it is a little early for chrysanthe- 
mums. Thanksgiving will bring those 
though, also beaus from all parts of 
the globe. Gee, I hope someone 
sends me some flowers and takes me 
to the game. It will be dreadfully 
humiliating, if someone doesn't, won't 
1: eg 


You know the Tech boys that hang 
around down town are getting more 
“tea-houndish” every day. Their lat- 
est fads are cloth hats made of some 
wild looking checked or striped ma- 
terial and I haven't seen but two 
boys who really were cute-looking in 
them. 

Oh yes! Romola is back this year, 
teaching, so we will have some ro- 
mance after all, for you know Romola, 
she’s that all over, and there's noth- 
ing in trousers that doesn’t “fall 
flat” for her, but pshaw! you already 
know that. 

If we hadn’t been having such a 
grand time at the society parties and 
those things, I would have been terri- 
bly homesick for you all. Yes, Aggie 
even a “high and mighty” Soph feels 
sometimes that college life “ain’t all 
that it’s cracked up to be.” 

Write soon and tell me everything 
about everybody. 

Yours in power, 
Giddie.

HORRORS OF SOPH WEEK. 


Pigtails and Placards in Evi-

Shades of the Spanish Inquisition! 
A pleasant dream in comparison to 
the nightmare reality of Sophomore 
Week! For what is mere physical 
torture compared with injured Fresh- 


mam dignity and outraged high sghool, 


Senior superiority? Who could ex- 
- pect a Freshman to cherish and re- 
vere the exalted ideals and traditions 
of her Alma Mater, when she must 
wear her hair in pigtails tied with 
green ribbon (not exceeding an inch 
in width!) and skip across the colon- 
ade wagging little bells behind her. 
How ean she learn to love her books 
when she must carry them around on 


a tray? 

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 
list chanting is over, and the Sopho- 
more’s can no longer order you to 
polish their shoes or make beds 
Don’t forget that you'll have an oppor- 
tunity to wreak your vengeance on 
some other verdant Freshman and 
that this time next year “there’s a 
sreat day coming.”

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

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. 

Let’s all go in strong for athletics, | 
sO we can Wear one.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1920 


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. 

The posts on the Sophomore side 
of the chapel were gayly turned with 
their class colors black and gold— 
these colors also adorned the walls. 
On the Freshman side the class color 
scheme was carried out with stream- 


ers on the windows and black cats}

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

An unusual air of excitement reign-

cating that something very unusual 


was about to happen. For one thing, 
Frances Charlotte was not seen in her

sufficient cause for wonder to those

As “Ancient of Days” pealed forth 
from the organ, everyone rose, for the

were soon to know, that when Mr. 
Hickman plays, that something spe- 
cial is going to happen. Amid much 
excited whispering, our own Emma 
Jones, who is back with us, after her 
interesting work with Miss Cady, rose 
to tell us again the honor it brings 
to a girl to become a member of such 
‘an organization and to tell the Fresh- 
men something of its foundation and 
its aims. The standard by which a 
girl is judged, before becoming a

Inter-Society Debate in? 


Of course all we old girls remember 


the enthusiasm which was aroused 
over the inter-collegiate debate with 
Newcomb last year, and to the new 
girls it is something to look forward 
to as one of the most exciting. hap-

Probably the plans followed 
last year will be taken up again. A 
subject will be chosen for the first 
inter-society debate, then for a cer- 
tain number of weeks beforehand de- 
bates will be held every Saturday 
night on that subject in the separate 
societies. The two best debaters will 
be chosen by the judges every time, 
until finally a team is selected from 
each society for the inter-society de-

jasm, 

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. 
of us are not old enough to vote. 
make ourselves acquainted, through the newspapers and current magazines, 
with the affairs of the government, and with the opinions of great statesmen. 
We can know the ideals of our party and the character of the candidates. 

Let us make a resolution to find a half an hour of each day in which 
to read the newspaper.

and to ourselves.

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: 


Freshman Commission—Dick Scan-

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.

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. 
P. S—“You tell ‘em, rouge, my lip 


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.”’

has!”

SERBIAN STUDENT’S AR- 


RIVAL POSTPONED 
INDEFINITELY. 


At last, after three weeks of wait- 
ing, we have definite news concerning 
the arrival of Zorka Petrovitch, the 
Serbian girl who was to have been a 
student here this year. She has been! 
indefinitely detaincd in Paris by the} 
illness of a relative, and may not be 
able to come to Agnes Scott this year. 

We are all very much disappointed 
and hope that things can be arranged 
so that Zorka can come over some} 
time during the winter and take up| 
her studies with us at the beginning 
of the second semester.

After appreciative applause by par-| 
ties chiefly concerned, the curtain 
was again drawn back, this time 
showing the sumptuously appointed 
court of King Senior. The situation 
in his kingdom was explained by his | 
courtiers who hailed him thus:

OPEN FORUM 


WHAT IS YOUR POLITICS— 
AND WHY? 


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 
new is the very vital question of the 
coming presidential election. We all 
recognize the fact that the election of 


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 
recognize the fact that the matter is 
worthy of the gravest consideration, 
yet how many of us haye taken the. 
pains to make anything like an inves- 
tigation of more than one side of the 
question? 

Such an idea may at first glance, 
appear to be an insult to the citizen- 
ship, of the student. body, but let us 
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.

It is hard to realize that already

this year than ever before, and the 
whole staff is most enthusiastic over 
the prospect. 

The pictures are already being

busy with Agnes Scott girls asking 
for a pose. Whenever one sees a girl 
going off the campus, with an unus-| 
ually becoming wave in her hair, and | 
just the right amount of powder on | 
her nose, it is pretty certain that she 
is either going to meet a Tech boy at 
Nunnally’s, or else she has an after-| 
noon engagement at McCrary’s.

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: 

Inman Hall—Chief, Eunice Dean; 
first lieutenant, Beth McClure; second 
lieutenants, Frances Young; Quenelle 
Harrold, Sarah Till, Emily Guill, Ivan

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 
- CHALLENGE 
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. 

Many girls, new and old, have al- 
ready signed up for one of these

has not, tell Aimee D, Glover which

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, 


| Va., where she will attend the Y. W. 
She | 


Cc. A. field committee meeting. 
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. 
are all college girls, and veterans of 
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.

mid-year tryouts, and then after the 
new members are selected that time, 
they are automatically dropped from 
the club roll.

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-) 
mary Whitaker, Corinne .Jackson, 
Mary Wood Colley, Selma Gordon, 
Peyton Stinson, Frances Singletary, | 
Blizabeth McCarrie, Lewis Murchi- 
son, Augusta Cannon, Emmie Fickler, 
Marguerite Dobbs, Lillian McAlpine, 
Clyde Passmore, Dick Scandrett, 
Buelah Davidson, Marcelle Robinson, 
Hester Stephenson, Daisy Frances 
Smith, Ella Louise Landress. 

These girls are doing their part. 
Come on, Freshmen, and do yours!

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. 

If you uappen .o follow the back 
car line and several little by-paths, 
you will find Pine Hill, where in some 
places the slippery needles lie so

There is a certain tree there, which

for the best article submitted during 
1920-1921. So don’t hesitate, but 
write something—a story, a poem, a 
sketch, an editorial article—or most 
anything in this line. And I'll tell 
you a secret: Aurora is ‘specially 
fond of essays, so if you can’t write 
some of the former kinds of articles 
why not try the latter? Anybody 
and everybody is most cordially in-

“eventually, why not now?” 

And Freshmen, be sure that you 
send in lots of articles to the Aurora, 
for you know you must make friends 
with her and she will surely help 
you show Agnes Scott what a “reppy,” 
“peppy” class you are.

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:

you? An awfully good time for this 
terrible malady to attack you is when 
you are hungry and tired—and think 


perhaps you “flunked” the math test 
of a few hours before. 

Well, do cheer up! Don’t ever 
make this remark, “I swear if I ever 
get out of this place, I’ll never come 
back.” In the first place, it’s very 
bad form to swear, and in the second 
place it is not right to go back on

out here, Mrs, Gifford’s visit didn’t

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.

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- 
He 


helpful talk of the 


rope. made an excellent and 


“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. 

The Spanish Club

Agnes Scott girls this year. Since 
this club does offer such splendid ad- 
vantages, it is hoped that as many 
of the students as possibly can will 
join.

Great interest was manifested at

the Open Forum was held. The house 
Was crowded with an extremely appre- 
ciative audience which came to be 
enlightened in regard to the questions 
of the day. 

The topic of discussion was “The 
Choice Between the Tickets.” This 
subject was chosen since the vote for 
| the Presidency is to be taken at the 


| next meeting, and the speakers were

suecessful in swaying the community.

When Miss Anna Marie Landress had | 


completed her discourse, which she 
vave in a most excellent manner “The 
League of Nation’s issue as represent- 
ed in the present political campaign 
shown by Cummineg’s Keynote Speech 
at the Democratic Convention, League 
Nations Plank in the Democratic 
Platform, and Cox's attitude toward 
the League of Nations,” everybody 
showed by their applause that they 
had almost decided to yote a Demo- 
|, cratic ticket. 

Wonders had not ceased! Miss 
Sarah Till replied with a most worthy 
speech which brought out “The League 
{of Nations issue as represented in the 
present political campaign shown by 
| Lodge's Keynote Speech at the Repub- 
llican Convention, League of Nations 
Plank in the Republican Platform, and 
| Harding's attitude toward the League 
|of Nations.” Miss Mildred McFall up- 
| held in a fervent way the Democratic 
| platform, excluding the idea of the 
League of Nations. She was received 
with an outburst of applause. Miss 
Ruth Hall fulfilled to the utmost de- 
gree her object in upholding the Re- 
publican platform and giving its 
“planks.” 

At the close of the meeting a mur- 
mur expressing appreciation and ap- 
proval could be heard to run through 
the audience. The question, “For 
whom are you going to vote?” could 
also distinguished the crowd 
parted, This proved that the object

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!

HAND IN A PLOT FOR MAY 
DAY FESTIVAL. 


Help Your College and Show Your 
Spirit. 
In Main Building there is a certain 
little notice that hangs rather discon. 
solately, almost hidden among the 
other more glaring announcements. It 
feels rather slighted, and perhaps it 
|has a right for its importance is 
not outdistanced by any other 
item. That is saying a good deal, but 
a May Day means much 
for the reputation of the school and 
of the girl that writes the story. 
Everyone remembers last year when 
“Echo and Narcissus” was the Greek 
legend chosen. The idea, carried out 
in dancing and pantomime, was. cer- 
tainly well executed by our graceful 
performers. But have you stopped to 
think that there could have been no 
May Day unless a certain girl, wide- 
jawake to her opportunities, had pos-

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.”

HONOR PLEDGE SIGNED. 

During the last week the girls have been signing the honor pledge, 
promising to uphold the honor system and the Student Government Associa- | 
tion, in the spirit as well as in the letter of the law. Every student in sign- 
r this pledge has assumed an individual. responsibility to..promote. the 
welfare of the college and uphold its laws. 


SENIORS MAY CHAPERON FROM MATINEE. 


Seniors may chaperon underclassmen back to the college from approved 
matinees, provided there are as many as three in the party. 


NOISE. 


The noise continues to be disturbing after lights. The proctors are 
asked to be especially vigilant in keeping things quiet after ten o'clock. 


AFTERNOON DATES FOR UNDERCLASSMEN. 
Underclassmen may not go out with men without securing Miss Hopkins’ 


permission, and unless the men call for them at the college and bring them |

back. Girls cannot meet boys in town. Time limit is 5:30. 


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. 

How easy it is to hold a history book in hand, and gaze dreamily over 
the hills and far away! Dreaming is al) right in its place, but, it is not best 
when a history lesson is to be learned. Exert your willpower, and make 
vour attention as well as your eyes focus on your work until it is mastered. 
This is one of the most valuable tessons in our whole college curriculum. 
Concentrate, and work will be done in half the time usually employed.

In order to keep in touch with Y. W.

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.

candy against a pair of gloves. Two 
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- | 


(But I bet she hasn’t thought 
|of that). While we will even dispense 
with sympathy for the other girl. The 
very idea of anybody even thinking 
that ten of the old girls wouldn’t be 
back here within a month and a half.

to the bet—and Margaret Bland—by a

measure. 
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.

GIDDIE 


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 |

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.

the others. 

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

| 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 


12. Why do women want a League 
of Nations? 

Because it saves the mothers of the 
future from sacrificing their sons to 
war. Because it is the only practical 
working plan to replace conflict, blood.

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?”

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.

Mar-| 


SATURDAY NIGHT . 


Much interest and enthusiasm was 
| evinced Saturday night over the two 
debates staged by the Mnemosynean 
and Propylean Literary Societies in| 
their respective halls. The subject | 
for both debates was the same—Re- 
solved; That the increase in exercise | 
of presidential leadership is for the 
promotion of publi¢ welfare. . 

Promptly seven o'clock the 
Mnemosynean audience muffled their 
lively anticipations and settled them. 
selyes to the calmer enjoyment of 
listening to a debate that was well 


planned and, better still, 
ried out. 
question was cleverly handled by An-! 
nie Marie Landress and Quenelle 
Harrold. The oppasite side was ar- 
gued by Louise Fluker and Mar- 
garite Watkins, who presented their 
points with a force that impressed 


at 


well car- 


the audience, Annie Marie and “Mar- 


| garite are debaters with a record 


whien left no “room. in the. minds: of |

appearances on fhe. platform was | 
fully as pleasing ‘and wo! thwhile as | 
any of their previons work “Quenelle | A 
and Fluker had the added interest of |" ; 


being new at the | game; | but their | 
success as effective speak 
argumentative type yas very ¢ evident. 
The Mnemosyneans: re now. assured 
of two more excellent debaters. The: 
negative side Wot, 

The assembled members of the 
Propylean Society were entertained 
|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 
| encouragement should have the effect 
of vitalizing al! our efforts and should 
give added spirit to the debates which 
‘are to follow. Let the battle cry of 
lall ardent Hottentots from now on

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.

scene of spirit and pep mingled with 
dignity, for it was here that the elect- 
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 
enrollment as Bessie Tift and Wes- 
leyan—the Baptist and Methodist col- 
leges have. Those most interested 
are hoping and praying that the 
meetings out here may lead some 
others to hear the call to service for

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.

asked for the help of the students, 
the girls showed much enthusiasm 
and responded nobly to the cause. 

This room is to be furnished with 
a library table, a reading lamp, and 
comfortable chairs. The walls are 
to be painted and papered and the 
windows are to be adorned by beauti- 
ful hangings. In short it is to bea 
room, which will be a suitable and 
pleasant meeting place for the digni- 
fied executive committee. —

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.

THE AGONISTIC 


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 
date 

For Saturday 
Fate) — 

And when he asks to bring a friend, 


Her joy and happiness have no end. 
a * * 


night (she feels it’s 


The night of nights comes ‘round at 
last, 

it eight already? 
fast!’ 

She keeps them waiting, 
the way, 

maidens treat their suitors to- 

day. 

The youth is witty, the girl is coy, 


‘Is My clock is 
for that’s 


Fair 


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. 


Glee Club Bigger 
Than Ever Before 


CHORAL SOCIETY FORMED 
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.

with red ink in expectation of the 
time when they will leave for the 
holidays.

forward with much pleasure to this 
performance and feel sure that the

Pare an apple carefully without

The coil thus

AGNES SCOTT HAS EIGHT 
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 Freshmen played a good game 
the

made a goal in the nick of time, fin- 


and kept the score tied until 


favor. 
The Sophomores and Juniors tied 


early in the game, and after that 
neither side made a goal. To decide 
the game, it was thought best to play 
one more goal, which the Juniors 
made, bringing their score up to 2, 
and winning the game by one point.

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-

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

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 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 
Mnemosynean and Propylean debat- 


jing societies as to whether or not the 


leadership 
in 


increase in presidential 
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

she so absolutely thrilled—not just 
it 
romantic, but really because it was 


because, well because was sorta 
such a distinguished feeling to be sit- 
ting there in chapel seeing and lis- 
tening to a celebrity. Of course it 
was an education just to be in the 
somes room. with the celebrity, but to 
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 
send,

ernment Was an open discussion meet- 
ing. The first subject brought up for 
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.

Woodrow Wil-

purpose of the Y. W. in giving this 
pageant at this time is to impress

theme in “The Striking of America's 
Hour.” 

The cast which

that a girl has decided which church

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.

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!”

and gowns.

Mrs. Pankhurst Cat, stood upon the

use soap to clean up the dirty poli-

was taken by the Propyleans, and 
the speaker on that side, Mrs. Will

declared soap had more _ service 
Before 
she could finish her speech, consisi-

veritable battle ensued, during which 
the other debaters fled in horror.

record on its history.

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.

The service was opened by prayer

Mr. Stukes then gave the address of

After the big Thanksgiving dinner

Agnes Scott will have an opportunity

whom we all know as one of the fore-

artist is noted as an interpretative 
genius. A reputation which she has 
gained both by natural endowment 
and through years of study to per-

Her audiences are exceptionally

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

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,

and- golden § y. They call out th e 
outore Ts them to awaken 
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 | 
the valley deserted, |

Mereury enters with Pandora, on} 
whom is bestowed all the gifts of the

and the fruits and grains come forth | 
to bid her welcome. A band of| 
jmaidens are called to dance with |

with her. They dance together and |

[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.

another treat. 


Just one more anticipation—the

that Mother has sent. Perhaps we 
are now thinking of last Thanksgiy-

were at home. But Thanksgiving at 
Agnes Scott means just as much to 
the old girls, as home does to the 
Freshmen. It has a meaning all its

Trip to Watkins Glen. 

After lunch a most delightful trip 
| Was Planned to the State park, Wat- 
|Kins Glen. The Rotary Club mem- 
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 
|weather, the Southern conference 
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- 


tunate indeed in having her with us. | Thanksgiving would come every day.

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

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. 

Love (in a rush), 
GIDDIB. 

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.

or whether lack of attention from 
his fond mistress caused his jealousy 
to become uncontrollable is not | 
known, all that we yet know of the) 
sad event is that his cage door still 
swings in the wind and that an in-

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

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-

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, 


GIVE HER THE BUTTON. 


She isn’t attractive, 

And hasn’t much grace. 

She dresses quite plain; 

And as to her face; 

It isn’t so pretty; 

She doesn’t dance well, 

Her line is a weak one 

She isn’t a helle; 

3ut listen, dear sisters, 

This much I know— 

She’s a wonderful girl 

Her dad has got dough. 
—Dirge. 


Why is it 

That you: will phone to a girl 

And ask her 

What she knows 

And she will say 

‘Oh, nothing,” 

And then she will ask 

What you know 

And you answer 

“Oh, nothing,” 

But nevertheless

question was brought up as 
whether it was worth the trip finan- 
cially to send Southern college dele-

year is to be held at Simmons College 
The general opinion, es-

in Boston. 
pecially among Northern 
women, was that Southern colleges 
should certainly be represented at 
/this National Convention, for North- 
ren colleges could not only do much 
to help Southern colleges solye their 
problems, but Southern colleges could 
valuable 


also contribute many ideas 
and suggestions for others to try out. 
This speaks well for our Southern 
delegates, considering the fact that 
colleges, Mississippi 


and Randolph-Macon, 


only two other 
State College, 
sent delegates besides Agnes Scott 
except the two silent delegates sent 
| by Sophie Newcomb and Hollins Col- 


lege. Other questions discussed were 
‘those of the relation of publications 
to the college, and of inter-collegiate 
athletics and debates. They seemed 
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 
lively hockey game, which reminded 
them of “home,” to which they 
started in a few hours after the game. 

There was regret of course at leav- 
ing for Elmira is a beautiful place. 
The representatives were impressed 
with the beauty and dignity of the 
whole place and of the comfort of the 
dormitories, where the students have 
suites of rooms, two single rooms and 
a sitting room. They also have a 
lake right on the campus which in- 
creases interest in swimming. 

When all good-byes were said and 
the delegates had all ‘started for 


“l\home, it was with a feeling of time 


and energy well spent, for the con- 
ference had meant much to each one 
of them.

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. 


He: “You look sweet enough to 
eat.” 
She: “I do eat.” 


In Miss Sledd’s Trig Class: “Yes, 
but you can't work that problem that 
way, Miss Sledd.” 

“Why, what's the matter, why can’t 
you work the problem that way, Miss 
$2” 

"Simply because the tangent of 90° 
is equal to eternity.” 


The north wind doth blow, 

And we shall have snow, 

And what will Aggie do then, 
Poor thing? 

She will put on her sweater, 

"Twill warm her the better, 

And she’ll trip on to classes, again, 
Poor thing!

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1920 


No. 9 


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 
features in the play, and most of the 
music was from Greig, which we all 
know is most appropriate for such a 
play. 

As you probably know if you're an 
“old girl,’ and have surely heard of 
by now, if you’re a “new girl’ the 
Blackfriars always give a play around 
Thanksgiving, and this play is one of 
the points of greatest interest of the 
whole academic year, and this year’s |

Who says our Alumnae aren’t the

this time they have really out-done

known to the Freshmen as Miss Al-

respectively) are to lend their un- 
usual talen to the ooceasion. 

So this industrious club is to make 
its first public appearance on the

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 
Hutchinson, Romola Davis, Liewelyn

is the calling of the roll to which

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. 
Delicious refreshments were then 
served and at ten, after which the

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.

Girls are asked to be careful about 
being quiet when they return to their 
rooms light cuts, and

ernment talked for a few minutes on

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: 
Whitcombe Riley’s “Bud's |

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! 


away and tell you every blessed. 
thing. 
Lots of love, 

Giddie. 


ARE YOU EXCITED OVER|SOPH DANCE HUGE SUCCESS.|DR. WINFIELD SCOTT HALL 


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.

This will be an even greater fight

go and root for our debaters. 


TOUCHING, 


At first she touches up her hair, 
To see if it’s in place, 

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

A touch of curls behind her ear. 
A touch of cuffs and collars, 

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 
they pass through a heathenish and 
barbarous period during which time

when there suddenly appears right in 
|the middle of the lawn a yawning 
| aperture that would do admirable 
credit to the labors of the original 
cave man. Dr. Hall explained how 
wise mothers make use of this energy 
and guide it along constructive lines. 
Thus this chart is useful as well as 


merely instructive, in that careful 
study of the various stages of indi-

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- 
age. See a good show and help ’22. 


A village preacher, who had never 
had very extensive dealings with 
banks, in 
small amounts, was presented by a 
rich friend with a check for two hun- 
dred dollars to defray some unex- 
pected expenses. He took it to the 
bank to deposit it. The cashier said, 
“Brother Brown, you will have to en- 
dorse this check.” 

Rather wonderingly, Brother Brown 
took the check, then, as if inspired, he

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

When the circus was in town, one 
of Dr. Armistead’s higher English 
classes decided to ask for a cut, and 
they persuaded Ruth to ask Dr. 
Armistead. She did so but when he 
asked for a reason, she merely said: 
“Oh, because,’’ because she was 
afraid that the circus would not be a 
sufficient reason. Dr. Armistead 
would not give the cut without a rea- 
son. The next week, when one of the 
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: 

“Oh, Dr. Armistead, there’s some-

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

MR. LESTER SPEAKS ON 
THRIFT. 


Agnes Scott was honored Tuesday 
by a visit from Mr. Lester, a repre-| 
sentative of the treasury department 
at Washington, who gaye an inter- 
esting lecture in the chapel on the) 
subject of Thrift and Saving. After) 
hearing so many lectures on giving 
this seemed quite a unique subject. 
but proved to be quite an interesting 
one.

of saving in order to accumulate a

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 
of the past. Home and 
the 25th seem nearer, more real, and 
more attractive, all because of a de-

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.” 


HARRIET SCOTT ELECTED 
TO BLACKFRIARS.

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.

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.

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


cheeks as well as knowledge in our heads.

| Y. W. 


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. 
white, who bore lighted candles, one! 
for each window. 

The choir and the audience both. 
sang the dear old carols which | 
|men everywhere sing once a year, and | 
Marguerite Watkins read the story | 
‘that many read once a year too—Van , 
Dyke’s story of “The Other Wise | 
Man.” 


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

I]. The reaction resulting when a) 
President tries to stand out as a real 
jheart of the government is such that 
|two great evils have been accentuated 
in the political parties. | 
| A. The use of almost any means to)

order to overthrow the President's

B. The choosing of a good candi-

to wait more anxiously than ever the 
decision of the judges who were Mr. |

Candler, and Mr. Charles McKinney. 

This debate was one of a series 
leading up to the Inter-Collegiate De- 
bate in the spring. The girls who are 
to take part in the Inter-Collegiate 
Debate are to be chosen from these 
four girls and some to be selected 
later on. These facts make the de- 
bate more interesting than ever be- 
cause everybody knows Agnes Scott

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-

asked to be more prompt. 

Under-classmen are reminded that 
only Seniors and Juniors can enter- 
tain dates the Propylean and 
Mnemosynean halls and in Rebekah 
Seott lobby. Dates are not to be 
taken into class rooms. 


A great many things have been lost 
or borrowed lately and students are 


in 


j}asked to leave notes in other girls 


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

day for other purposes than church, 
was presented for discussion and it 
was voted that the rule be removed. 
It is expected that public sentiment 
about Sunday observances will be all 
that-is necessary. 


JUNIORS CONDUCT BAZAAR. 


Articles Handmade and Prices 
Reasonable. 


Realizing that in the big rush to 
finish up term papers and parallel 
reading and get packed up to go 
home few of us will have time to 
give to the making of Christmas 
gifts, the Junior class has worked 
overtime and now has on sale a large 
and varied assortment of Christmas 
presents, 

All the articles are handmade and 
the prices most reasonable, so in- 
stead of worrying over the many 
presents you ought to have made and 
haven't, come to the bazaar and let 


the Juniors help you with your 
Christmas giving. -

Just two more days—too good to be

for nearly three whole weeks! I’m

Did You Make A? 


“Got to go to gym today, 
Gosh, can’t stay away; 
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.

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-

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.

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-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1921 


Party Arranged For 
Trip Abroad 


Miss Stevenson to Chaperon A. 
8. C. Girls. 


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. 

Now the opportunity: for seeing all 
these places, and many more, has 
been offered to Agnes Scott girls by 
the Temple Tours Company of Bos- 
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 
sight-| 


to the battlefields and cities, 
seeing, i. e. admission to museums, 
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. 


ELEANOR CARPENTER 
SPEAKS ABOUT AGNES 
SCOTT. 


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.

a picture of her most representative 
girl to appear in their “College 
Types” series. Some of these pic- 
tures have already come out in ¢the 
Atlanta Journal. They are of girls 
from the leading institutions of 
higher learning in the United States, 
most of them from big northern col- 
leges. It is no mean honor for Agnes 
Scott to be included, since the pie- 
tures will be run in all the biggest 
newspapers of the country. It will 
probably bring wider publicity to 
Agnes Scott than anything has done 
before. 

It was impossible to pick the most 
representative girl in all the student 
body; but from a host of girls who 
are worthy to personify the spirit of 
Agnes Scott, the president of Stu- 
dent Government has been selected, 
Margaret McLaughlin. During her 
three and a half years here she has

college activity—athletics, dramatics, 
musical festivals, and has done cred-

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- 
sentatives of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. of the United States, Y. M. 
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-

March 27—Haster. 

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

The custom of each Senior choos-

beloved one that it will not soon die

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

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 
I will be all right. And it doesn’t

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. 

Your designing 
GIDDIE. 


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF 
EXAMS? 


Some say opportunity knocketh but 
once; others that it batters at the 
door daily with the hectic persistency 
of a woodpecker. This latter opinion 
is the one which is hurled at the 


Freshman simultaneously with her 
white course card, and she 1s in- 
formed in divers ways that the 
snatching of one’s opportunities is 
the secret of “a life well spent.” Be- 
ing a docile creature a ready re- 


ceptacle for good advice and open to 


conviction, she does not wait for the} 
opportunity; | 


timid rat-a-tat-tat of 
but greets him on the threshold with 
a welcome smile. Comes the oppor- 
tunity to become a reporter, an au- 
thoress, an athlete, an actress, and 
with the inevitable theme writing of 
English I, the opportunity to air her 
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

Now in the strenuous weeks to

the Freshman will convince herself

VERY WOMAN delights in the coming of Spring, and the first harbingers of this 
charming season are the Suits and Frocks rather than the Robins, for now, before 
the north wind has ceased its blowing, before the Robin would dare venture into our

Platinum and Copper reign side by side as monarchs of the color card, combined with

In one Suit in particular the platinum strands have been cunningly fashioned into an 
embroidered motif that gleams against a background of Navy Blue.

fashion, narrow braidings that give a swagger touch. And instead of the Vest, Dame 
Fashion decrees for Suits this Spring a Camisole waist. 


Gabardines in the soft, Platinum Shadings are to be seen in the Suits as well as

ATHLETICS 


TAKE EXERCISE DURING 
EXAMS. 


Examinations are not usually re-

body at large, but they certainly do 
give the athletic side of college a 
chance to catch up with the season's 
work and to develop itself generally. 
Gym classes are suspended and there 


is no lab. So afternoons are free for 
tennis, that is, if a next day’s exam 
is not impending, and, with the ten-

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 
Phi which, being very freely trans- 
lated, means “honor to whom honor 


is due.” 


/we may do our part is by learning 


|doing this, we shall show our appre- 


‘through Druid Hills, Piedmont Park, 
‘and other beautiful places of Atlanta. 
{It is not too early for us to begin to 
|think about our part in the entertain- 


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 


the songs, and singing to the girls. In 


ciation and uphold the spirit of our 
Alma Mater, The alumnae have done 
their part by offering their automo- 
biles to take the delegates for a ride 


ment of the guests, for the impres- 
sion that they will carry away will 
be the impression that we, the stu- 
dents, will make upon them. 


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

before long are: Clara Melver

of Jackson, Tenn. 

The new students are settled now, 
most of them in White House, and 


gladly “at home” to the old girls. 
|\Many were the visits paid Sunday 


night, and White House, for a won-

which were not paid at the first floor 
dining room. 

Another welcome came at the sing 
after 
ing Tuesday night, when all the old 
girls serenaded the new ones. Ruth 
Seandrett was on hand afterwards to 
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 
girls are not feeling “new” any 
longer, but perfectly at home, and 
just as glad to be here at A. S. C. as 
A. 8. GC. is to have them. ; 


IRREGULARS PLAN VALEN-

Date Set For February 12. 


We Agnes Scott girls always won- 
der what is going to happen on the 
next Saturday night, for something 
nice is usually planned. There is a 
treat in store for us on the twelfth 
of February, for the Irregulars are 
going to give the students a Valen- 
tine party. Of course the'gym will be 
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. 
An entertainment committee is hard 
at work and they are going to give 
us a great time. The college com:

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. 
Janice Brown’s article is “The Thrills 
of a Freshman.” Minnie Allen and 
Dell Bernhardt have lent their artis-

Debate Subject Chosen 


A. 8. C, Battles S. N, Here—An- 
other Team Goes to R. M. 
Ww. c. 


Agnes Scott again feels the thrill of 
approaching inter-collegiate debates. 
The question for the triangular de. 
bates in April has been decided. Ran- 
dolph-Macon, the latest member of 
the triangle, chose the subject. It is 

Resolved: That a federal board 
should be appointed with powers of 
compulsory arbitration between capi- 
tal and labor. 

Our debating societies are eager to 
begin work immediately on the ques- 
tion. Preliminary debates will be 
held and from these debaters a 
group of eight or ten will be chosen, 
The first inter-society debate deter- 
mined some of the members of this 
group. Another inter-society debate 
will be given February 9. 

From the group of eight or twelve 
best debaters the debating council 
With the aid of the faculty members 
will choose two teams. The teams of 
Randolph-Macon, Sophie Newcomb 
and Agnes Scott will meet each other 
as follows: 

Aff. S, N. vs. Neg. R. M. at Sophie 
Newcomb.

and complicates the thrills, One thing 


we feel sure of, though, that a vic-

gate to greet a home-coming, vic-

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: 
sion, This is the first opportunity 
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- 
Played. The list of plays from which 
selections may be made for the try- 
outs is posted on the student govern- 
ment bulletin board in Main Building, 
and is as follows:

She has given up her connection 
with the Y. W. C. A. now in order to 
do special work in colleges and uni- 
versities. She was formerly Senior 
‘Student Secretary of the National 
Board of the Y. W. C. A. In this 
capacity she was sent on several 
pioneering expeditions, one into Bul- 
garia to make a survey, preparatory 
to taking the Y. W. there; and an- 
other recently into South America. 
She was the first to investigate these 
for the Y, W., and was instrumental 
in sending out the first secretaries. 


She is the author of two charming

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

truly an impressive spectacle, pre- 


senting graphically the present sit- 
uation on the mission fields in gen-

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-

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-

vital, up-to-date, and reliable informa-

will be the members of the Meth-

GOOD NEWS. 

The little corner of home which the 
Y. W. C. A. established in the cabi-

there every afiernoon until school is 
out. For an hour or two before sup-

grate. During exams there was a 
cozy roomful every day, and the Y, W. 
feels sure that there will always be a 
few who w_ll like to come and read or 
talk. 

But in additicn to being a room 
for everybody to enjoy, the new cabi- 
net room is a haven where commit- 
tees can meet in peace. An “en-

be hung on the door when there is a

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

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.

A. We catch cold

Q. Why is good posture important 
in hygienic living, and what are 
three evils resulting from faulty pos- 
ture? 

A. Good pasture is important in 
hygienic living because the cows eat 
the food that grows in the pasture

are: 

1. Milk is poor. 

2. Causes diseases. 

3. Milk not good for drinking. 

A. Without good posture, we de-| 
crease our looks. 

A. Unless one sits straight, it is 
impossible to get the right amount 
of exercise. | 

A few startling statements made on) 
the Hygiene exam were: 

The mosquito is an instinct. 

Pyorrhoea is a disinfection of the 
gums, which is very harmful. 

For typhoid fever take a cerrium, 
or serium, or syrium, or serum.

tivity, but an athletic one, for the 
first basket-ball game of 1921 was 
played. The Sophomores beat the 
Freshmen 30-28, and the Seniors beat 
the Juniors 27-17. The line-ups were 
as follows:

BLACKFRIARS TRYOUTS

The Blackfriars will have their an- 
nual banquet, which was postponed 
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-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1921 


No. 13 


A. S.C. Attends Meeting 
Of National League Of 
Women V oters 


BRANCH TO BE ORGANIZED 
HERE, 


On Wednesday evening, February 9, 
at Wesley Memorial Church, - Agnes 
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

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.

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

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. 


STUDENT GOVERNMENT

a time for tryout, by signing on the 
Bulletin Board. Also, each group 
must file with the secretary before 5 
o’clock, on February 28th the name

the selection. 


“What is a mountain pass, Johnny?” 
asked the teacher.

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.

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 
from Emory, you said, didn’t you?

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.” 

Many of us haven’t been able to join 


in the singing heretofore, because we 
didn’t know the words.

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

YOU TELL 'EM! 
Oh, for the nerve to utter 
The thoughts that arise in me, 
—Davidsonian, 


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” 
work in numbers of the European 
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-

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.

Seniors at Agnes Scott, but fair la-

Colonial period. George Washington

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-

representing equally well the twen-

skirts and high-puffed coiffures.

Among the distinguished visitors 
of the evening were Daniel Boone,

was the minuet dances

Blackfriars To Present 


Plays Feb. 28th. 


“MY AUNT FROM CALIFOR-

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.

the front door. And now that they 
have come to college these girls con-

In Freshmen mail boxes last Mon- 
day, February 14, were found various 
kinds of valentines. There were lit-

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

Now that the debaters have begun

they are invested with a new enthu-

The tryouts were some of the best,

There was much interest shown as 
proved by the unusually large num- 
ber of applicants. Both an afternoon 
and a night session of the club were 
needed before Folio could determine 


the lucky six. Those were very 


busy, interesting, exciting and pleas- 
ing sessions, too, with uncertainty as 
to the final decision until the very 
end. 

That was the last meeting for the 
Sophomore members, for with the 
coming of the new members they 
were automatically excluded from 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

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.

Scandrett, Ruth Hall, Victoria Howie, 
Josephine Logan, Eloise Knight, 
Frances Gardner, Jean McAllister, 
Anna Marie Landress, Aimee D. 
Glover, and Janef Preston are going 
as delegates from Agnes Scott to the 
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,

‘ence is always an inspiration in such

IF SO, BE QUICK.

ing except that you are interested in 
|the work of Christ on earth, and in 
the great Student Volunteer move- 
ment. 


HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? 


The current issue of “The Georgia 
Student Volunteer” is the second one 
which has been published. It is put 
out by the Executive Committee of 
the State Union and other members 
of it. The paper is small yet, but 
well planned and full of news. The 
Y. W. C. A, whose “Association 
Monthly” is well established, ought 
to extend every encouragement to 
this similar magazine. The following 
|/poem is from the February number 
‘of “The Volunteer”: 


God has His best things for the few 
That dare to stand the test; 

God has His second choice for those 
Who will not have His best. 


There’s scarcely one but vaguely 
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

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

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.

Helen Hall, Hike Manager. 


At a recent meeting of our valiant

that they had been down-trodden long

chance to win athletic glory. And so 
ene bright day pupil suggested that 
hikes would be a good place to be- 


gin. 

The president of the Athletic As-| 
sociation consented to the arrange- | 
the day | 
that a numeral 
awarded day student 
went on eight out of their ten hikes. |

tha Taliaferro. 

There were about fifteen members | 
present as usual. 
ing was held first, in which they dis- | 
cussed chiefly the raising of a memo-| 
rial fund for Miss Young. 

Then the meeting was turned over | 
to the Agnes Scott girls. Margaret | 
McLaughlin sang “It Was a Bow! of, 
Roses” and a negro spiritual entitled | 
“I Stood on the River of Jordan.” 
Betty Brown accompanied her on the 
piano. Martha Taliaferro then read) 
“Bud's Fairy Tale.” 

At the close of the meeting delight- 
ful refreshments were served. The 
program that our girls gave was very 
good indeed and the Alumnae en- 
joyed it. The girls say that it was 
an inspiration to see how much in-

A LONELY FLOWER. 
In rebuttal to the poem, “A Lonely 


Flower,” which the Agonistic printed 
a short while ago, a prominent De- 
catur citizen has offered the follow- 


ing parody: 
Her mother told her, “Please the 
boys,” 
She did. 
“Paint and powder—make a noise,” 
She did. 


“Have no standards, show your knees. 

Dance and kiss just all you please, 

And on occasion let them squeeze,” 
She did. 


Years rolled on and still she played, 
She did. 

She noticed though, her beaux to fade 
She did. 

Good men left her to choose a mate, 

A maiden sweet, demure, sedate— 

rank deep the vampire’s 

fate, 

She did.

_ HARRIET MONROE 


5! 


é 


COMING MARCH 
16th. 


WILL ADDRESS STUDENTS 
ON MODERN POETRY. 


Third Number in Agnes Scott 
Lecture Series. 


Miss Harriet Monroe, poet, eritic, |. 


editor, will be the @test of Agnes 
Seott for several. days im the near 
future. On the evening of March 
16th, at eight o'clock, she will speak 
on “The New Movement in Poetry,” 
and her address will be illustrated by 
particular reference to the Chicago 
poets. After the lecture, Miss Mon- 
roe will be the honoree at a reception 
given in Rebekah Scott lobby, and 
every girl will have the opportunity 
cf meeting and talking with her, who 
is known in Chicago as “the autocrat 
oi all the poetries.” During her stay 
on the campus we will also have the 
pleasure of seeing her in the role of 
poet, when she will read us some of 
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, 


magazine 


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.

honor society at Agnes Scott, held 
their first open meeting of the year 
in the chapel, February

elass of 1921—Janef Preston and 
Anna Marie Landress, 

The meeting opened with an im- 
pressive academic procession, com- 
posed of those members of the fac- 
uity who belong to: simglar cHORGE or- 
ganizations in the colleges from 
which they graduated. Those in the 
procession were: Dr, J. D. M. Armi- 
stead, of Washington and Lee; Miss 
Lillian Smith, of Syracuse Univer- 
lsity; Miss Cleo Hearon and Miss 
Catherine Torrance, both of the Uni- 
yersity of Chicago, and the following

Miss Frances Sledd, 

Miss Janet Newton, 
Miss Alice 


26, and an- 


gusta Skeen, 
Mrs. Dieckman, 
|Miss Emma Jones, and 
Cooper. 

Dr. Armistead told the story of the 
,origin of Gamma Tau Alpha, which 
was formed here in 1914 by the fac- 
julty members of the national honor 
society, Phi Betta Kappa, and ex- 
plained the standards which members 
of the Senior Class must reach before

ments, but the entire student body 
and faculty unite in saying that this 
present Senior Class has really done 


plished more in the line of student 
activities than any other class in all 
the history of Agnes Scott. By throw- 
ing themselves so whole-heartedly 
into the work of the various college 
organizations and giving so freely of 
their time and energy 


are members of '21 who have given 
up Gamma Tau. All honor to them. 

As is their usual custom, Gamma 
Teu will hold another election later 
on in the spring, when several new 
niembers will be announced. 

Another treat the Society has in 
store for the college community is 
the promised visit of President Mary 
Wooley, of Mount Holyoke College. 
President Wooley will speak in the 
chapel some time in April, the exact

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-

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 
thank these students for the inspira- 
tion they brought to us.

Georgia Normal and Industrial

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.

Contain,

are magazines for those who like

Housekeeping, which of course you

It is full of interesting stories and 
usually has a fine serial by James

lately, writes for Harper’s, and there

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- 
ster, are concerning the amusing epi- 
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. 
I guess you are wondering what they 
were here for. Well, Aggie, I'm not 
real sure myself, but someone told 
me they were boosting a town or 
something and were looking for some 
good-looking girls to persuade to help 
boost the place by making out like 
they lived there, too. But I don’t 
believe that, because they drove off 
without a single girl! 


Lucy W. is the most popular girl 
you ever saw in all your life. Four 
of the cutest boys—regular Arrow 
collar type—were out here to see her 
the other afternoon, and every girl 
in school had to stroll by and look 
‘em over. 

We've had several visits 
mothers this week, “we” 


from 
is figura- 
tive, for the happy girls they came 
tec see monopolized them every min- 
ute. Frances Gilleland’s mother has 
been here and Frances and her 
roomies have had a perfectly wonder- 
ful time. Emily Guille and Sara 
Stansell have had their mothers with 
them these last few days and it 
makes us all wish our mothers were 
here. 

Well, when wires are put up to 
save the new grass, the peach trees 
bloom and the college trips forth in 
pink and blue and yellow and green 
and lavendar (and all the rest of ’em) 
frocks and Decatur youths sentimen- 
tally sing of love n’ everything, we 
might remark, “Spring is coming,” 
and get away with it. 

Yours ‘till the potato chips,

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

greatest extent of his ability, then 
the zenith would be reached and the 
world richer by far than it had ever

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 


will be matched by one taken from ®t the try-outs on the fourteenth of | 
and the Day March. Two hundred and fifty girls

MENT GIVES RECITAL. 
We are indebted to Miss Gooch and 
the Spoken English Department for 
a delightful recital given in the 
chapel last Saturday night. This is | 
the second recital given by the pupils | 
f the Spoken English classes this | 
year. Some of the students on the 
program were reciting for the first 
time in public, and by their perform- 
ance we judge they experienced no 
qualms of stage-fright on making | 
their first appearance. Some were 
more experienced, having previously 
taken parts in Blackfriar plays. | 
those who recited were’! 
but there were a| 
few Freshmen on the list. 
The numbers were all interesting | 
and well rendered, and were greatly | 
enjoyed by those fortunate enough to} 
be present. 

The program was as follows: 

“In Pursuit of Old English’—Jean 
Webster—Frances Amis. 

“The Gipsy Trail’—Jean Webster

ELECTIONS TO BE HELD 
FRIDAY. 


“In the spring a young man’s 
fancy’—yes, we know where it turns, 
but in the spring a young girl’s 
fancy—well, maybe it does turn in 
the same direction, but, anyway, we 
know another direction in which 
Agnes Scott girls’ minds turn, and 
that is to spring elections. About 
the first of March every year we be- 
gin to hear whispered about on the 
campus, “Who do you think will make 
# good president of Student Govern- 
ment?” and “Who are you going to 
nominate for editor of the Agonis- 
tie?” and remarks of like signifi- 
cance, for election of officers for Stu- 
dent Government, Y. W. C. A., publi- 
cations, etc,, come off about the mid- 
dle of the month. There are so many 
and such different kinds of offices to 
be filled, that the elections include 
every type of girl. For this reason, 
a whole week elapses between the 
time nominations are posted and the 
date set for elections, to give. the 
students time to carefully consider 
each nominee and be sure of voting 
tor the one best fitted for the posi- 
tion. Two lists have been posted in

Miss Sutphen Honorary Member. 


At the last meeting of the execu- 
tive board of Blackfriars it was voted 
to make the following girls full mem- 
bers, in view of their excellent work 
in the organization: The girls are 
Ruth Pirkle, Frances Oliver, Polly 
Stone, Eleanor Hyde and Margaret 


It was also decided to ask Miss 
Sutphen to be an honorary member 
of the organization. Miss Sutphen 
bas done a great deal to make Black- 
friars successful, and has never been 
too busy to lend her help in any need. 
Blackfriars recognizes her service by 
asking her to become an honorary 
member. 


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

The really big question of the

was found to have been elected by a

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

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 


was the side door.

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-

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 
animals, including giraffes, lions, tig-

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. 


THE ETERNAL FEMININE 
AND SPRING CLOTHES. 


Picture, if you can, a room at 
Agnes Scott where books and study-

way to the more important things of 
life. More important? Yes, it is 
but another case where the combined 
forces of springtime and that beset-

-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, 


one. 

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.

seme of the things we have heard in 
different ways that will make our 
lives more worth while. Everyone 
felt helped by the suggestions made 
by Miss Jones. After the service was

Richmond, Va., who has just returned 
from a trip to the Orient, gave a 
short talk. Miss Campbell has vis- 
ited practically every Southern Pres- 
byterian mission in Korea, China, and 
Japan. She wore an elaborate Chi- 
rese suit and told us some of her ex- 
periences in traveling and some of 
the things she had found the girls 
of the Orient lack.

The service on March 6th was un- 
usually attractive. Beth MeClure 
presided and the trio of the Choral 
Society gave a selection. Miss Emma 
Jones gave a very interesting talk as 
a follow-up talk to Miss Conde’s 
meetings. She told us how different 
our lives would look if we could see 
them from a distance and from a new 
point of view. She told us again

NATIONAL SECRETARY COMING 
SOON. 


The Y. W. C. A. has been informed 
that if enough girls were interested 
in doing Y. W. C. A. work after leay- 
ing college, a National Secretary 
would come to interview them. It 
has been found that at least eight of 
our girls are thinking of taking up 
this line of work, and are anxiously 
awaiting their appointments with the 
National Secretary, who has agreed 


to visit us soon.

SONG MATCH BETWEEN IN- 
MAN AND REBEKAH. 


Which has the most yocal pep, In- 
man or Rebekah Scott? This all-ab- 
sorbing question has been settled 
once for all. Tuesday, March the 
15th, the regular Student Government

test. Dell Bernhardt was the Rebekah 
Scott song leader, and Eleanor Hyde 
was the Inman leader. The rafters 
fairly shook when the wave of song 
broke forth. No sing has ever been 
So vociferous, so enthusiastic, per-

spirit of rivalry was given a chance 
to display itself. Several new songs 
were rendered, some of which were 
enough of a success to warrant being 
written in the blank pages in the back 
of our new song book,

her life watching this sing, and that 
she may let us have other song 
matches soon.

artists of ours! Although we may 
not have our own names signed to 
these, when we go home we perhaps 
cun point to one or two of them and 
say proudly, “Uh-huh, my best friend 
d’d that,” and then our families will 
be so proud of us to be discriminating 
enough to choose geniuses for 
friends. 

And we can have the pleasure of 
reviewing our annuals and eagerly 
perusing them the first week in April.

But perhaps we do not realize our own importance in the election. 
We have been here less than a year, but we have been here long enough to 
learn to appreciate the Agnes Scott spirit. We should realize our indi- 
vidual responsibility in upholding this spirit. Our vote is as important as 
anyone’s. We must consider the nominees carefully and decide which is 
best for each office. 

Freshmen, let us uphold our reputation and show our college spirit by 
voting fairly and intelligently on election day.

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 
School in At-

ALUMNAE 
Visitors of the Past Week. 

Julia Lake Skinner returned last 
week to pay her old home a yisit. It 
seemed like old times to see Julia’s 
bright smile, and her arm around 
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- 
tend a Bible school, and is planning, 
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 
“Little Country” Lucy Dun, She grad- 
uated from Agnes Scott in 1919, and 
was president of Student Govern- 
ment. “Little Country” has recently 
returned from an extended visit to 
England, and it was mighty fine to 
have her with us for a few days. 

There are some things we never 
tire of around here, and those things 
are alumnae visitors.

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 
made of felt. Not a numeral, for the

question mark, ?, will tell the campus 
just which of our gallant Irregulars 
have shown themselves true athletes.

Afterwards. 


Miss Harriet Monroe, of Chicago, 
addressed the college community last 
Wednesday night on the subject of 
Poetry.”

the *Po- 
etry,” gave to us a clearer conception 


“Modern Miss Monroe, a 


of well-known magazine, 


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 
given in Miss Monroe's honor in the 
Rebekah Scott Lobby. Here the

outstanding poets of the day.

Miss Monroe’s presence at Agnes 
Scott was due to the efforts of our 
Lecture Association, which has se- 
cured for us two other noted speakers 
during the year, Mr. Dodd, the his- 
torian, and Mr. Taft, the sculptor, 
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.

Nightly practices at the University |

There's no doubt about the show | 
this year being the greatest that the | 
university club has staged—a young) 
Hippodrome. A presentation that will 
appeal to all has been the aim, and 
the result has been jujst that all-com- 
prehensive. 

Forty-five handsome youths, with) 
music and fun in their systems that 
is as contagious as whooping-cough | 
on a side street make up the cast, 
including John Slaughter and his Jazz | 
Band; Mallon Sheffield, the boy with 
the guitar that talks; Jones, Carson, 
| Boykin and Rawlinson. Then there 
is the Sentimental Four, the Saxo- 
phone Sextette, and the song bird of 
the Georgia Four. 

Slaughter’s Jazz Band is the only} 
hewe jazz band in a Dixie college. It’s 
the genuine article. The farce ex- 
|travaganza in one act entitled, “A| 
Night in Cukoo Land,” is rich. And 
there’s no use to dwell on the Senti- 
mental Quartette. It was the hit of 
the season last year, wherever the 
boys traveled. Two violins, a guitar, 
and a cello, it is, which can pour 
forth harmony that makes you feel 
cozy all over. Then there’s the Glee 
Club of °17; the Mandolin Club of 
17: the Saxophone Sextette; the 
usual clever black-face comedy—in | 
fact all those things that give the

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTIS- 
ERS. 

Now that spring is here, our) 
thoughts naturally turn toward new} 
spring clothes, and the yarious stores 
in Atlanta at which we can buy them. 
The Agonistic wants to appeal to ev-| 
ery girl to consider first those stores | 
whose interest and generosity makes | 
the publication of this paper possi-| 
ble. It is at those stores from which 
we secure advertisements, that Agnes 
Scott girls can be assured of the best 
service, the most interested atten- 
tion and the most reasonable prices. 
Therefore, girls, read the advertise- 
ments and patronize our advertisers. 

Another thing—when you go into a 
store that advertises with us, men- 
tion the fact that the girls notice and 
appreciate the advertisements, You 
can’t realize, how much a few words 
Again, 
if you go into a store that doesn’t 
give the Agonistic an advertisement, 
make it a point to ask the clerk why 
it is that they don’t ask for our 
trade, and you may be influential in 
helping to support the publications. 

It isn’t much trouble to follow out 
these suggestions, and it’s another 
way to show school spirit and loy- 
alty. So, girls, patronize our adver- 
tisers, and help support the Agonis-

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING 


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. 


DO YOU READ THE NEWS- 
PAPERS?

Saturday, he tried to make us realize 
importance of keeping up with

NEW PEP AT OUR SINGS. 


The sings lately have had so much 
more life and “pep” in them. Previ- 
ously our sings sounded like we sang 
just because the time had come to 
sing. Tuesday night had come, Stu- 
dent Government was over, and there- 
fore it was time to sing. 
nes” in a mechanically hum-drum 
fashion would rise, sing “Hottentot” 
and then depart. 


How read the 


the 
affairs in the world 


cies of the nations. We are potential! pnt now can’t you just feel a 
voters now, and the responsibility of |change? Our sings lately have been 


full of enthusiasm and spirit. 

The change is due to two reasons, 
One reason is a person, the other a 
thing. The first is Ruth Hall and 
the last is our new song books. 
Everybody just feels like singing 
when they see Ruth just bubbling 
over with enthusiasm. Then our 
new song books! Of course we all 
love our old songs but it is so nice 
to have others, too. 

It isn’t very long before the con- 


having an efficient government is 


going to rest on our shoulders. Now 
is the time to prepare for this re- 
sponsibility—and yet a large per cent.

If you don’t know where the Island |

you wonder what the condition of 
affairs is in Mexico, in the League of 
Nations, in the labor world—read the 
newspapers. Let’s don’t go out from

nothing to help make the world go 
round.

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-

our organization is part of a bigger 
one. Often we fail to get the in- 
spiration of being in an international 
Association, because we are so taken 
up with our own problems that we 
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 
oll of these places, and she has to 
take time for thought. Members of 
the Commission will probably be an- 
issue of the

THE NEW AND THE OLD. 

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

WHERE THE BUDGET MONEY 
GOES.

There are several reasons why we 
want to explain the budget system. 


First for those who have felt a little

to the student treasurer. This class 
needs to be encouraged and perhaps 
when they see the many things which 
}they support they will feel like tak-

Secondly, there are those whose 
idea of finances is very distorted and 
who think that the college’s acttvi- 
ties can run on five cents per capita

View this class merely wishes to 
have a business attitude toward life 
and wishes, therefore, to give an ac- 
count tor the empty pocket book. 

Lastly, we are distressed to say 
that there are those who must be 
warned as to the serious conse- 
quence of not paying the budget. No 
thrilling tennis games, no swimming, 
no voting, no place on any college 
team. How can one forfeit her bal-

to carry out their ideas. 

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-

IN CHAPEL. 

Mr. Fay Campbell, who spoke in 
chapel last week about the oppor- 
tunities offered by the foreign mis- 
sion field, is the traveling secretary 
of the Student Volunteer Association. 
It was the Y. W. C. A. which was in-

here. To those who heard him he 
made Christian work in foreign 
countries a real opening for one’s

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

is Sparta President; 


Hagen Smith of LaGrange 
has been made Field Secretary. We 
are very proud indeed to know that 
these three women are former Agnes

here prepared the great 
work they are doing now. 

Miss White is President of the Au-

NO MORE GYM.

No more gym! Whether for you 
this spells r-e-l-i-e-f or r-e-g-r-e-t there

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.

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 
cannot make the team, you can en-

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- 
man can play on any team in the con- 
ference, nor can any athlete partici-

than three years. These three years 
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!

An angel of merey is one who min-

the life, the spirit, the pep for the 
College. These young ladies, how-

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-

will make Agnes Scott greater and

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-

It is a significant fact that “Dot”

have this honor conferred upon them 
at the same time. 

All Agnes Scott knows how great 
an honor membership in Hoasc is,

merited this honor because of their 
enthusiastic and untiring “work for 
the college.

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

the Agonistie is Eloise Knight. 


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

easy to see that this work presents a 
range which will allow any girl to

experienced heads of the Y. W. C, A.

This is be- 
cause they think that teaching is the 
most valuable kind of experience a 
young woman can have, and also be- 
cause they want you to save your 
money and thus earn your own way: 
The training school lasts six weeks, 
and your expenses, including enough 
for sight-seeing and the theater, will 
amount to between two hundred and 
fifty and three hundred _ dollars. 
After this course the Y. W. places 
you somewhere as a secretary, of 
whatever kind you have chosen, and 
you work for five years, saving your 
money all the time so that at the end 
of that time you can attend the nine 
months’ winter training school which 
fits you for the really big executive 
positions in the Association. After 
this long apprenticeship you can

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

BLACKFRIARS ENTERTAIN. 


Proceeds Go For Costume Box. 


On Friday, the Blackfriars were 
hostesses to a most original and un- 
usual party, to which the entire 
school was invited. Every guest was 
asked to bring some donation for the 
box, and when 
collected, there

was indeed a great deal of -variety.| 
The guests brought everything from 
fancy combs to bandana handker- 
chiefs, and the wealth of the Black- 
friars was greatly increased. 

After the amusement caused by the 
gifts had subsided, a most attractive 


program was furnished which the 
guests greatly enjoyed. Later de- 
lightful refreshments were served, 


and both the guests and hostesses 
were well satisfied with the results 
of the entertainment. 


HURRAH FOR MISS WILBURN. 

In Atlanta, Georgia, was born the | 
dark-haired child whose fate is here 
to be discovered to the eager reader. 
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 
held the basket-ball championship be-

cause of this unceasing devotion to 
the sport. Not only was she an ath- 
letic star, but.also a dramatic star. 
On one occasion she took the part of 
the tall and stately Rosalind, which 
shows into what a lovely creature 
our heroine had developed. 

At Agnes Scott her athletic and 
dramatic careers continued with un- 
dimmed brilliancy, while at Colum- 
bia University she lead all the 
classes. And now she is back with 
us—Miss Wilburn, we call her, but

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!

He overawed me with his magnificent

He gazed out of the window, en-

moistened my lips in a desperate ef- 
fort to speak to him, but my voice 
froze on my lips. 

A man walked up to him, addressed 
him. I envied his free and easy way 
of talking to one who was so cold

BIBLE DEPARTMENT AN- 
NOUNCEMENTS. 

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 
that the percentage was as follows:

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.

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. 
colleges if not on the list of 
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.

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: 

Winthrop, Priscilla Ketchin and 
Martha Franks, Inman No. 4; Wom-

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. .

~ EDITORIALLY SPEAKING 


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.

WANTED: YOUR CLOTHES. 

Don’t you want some new spring

But they can’t get any unless 
you help them. Clearly the thing to 
do is to get new clothes for yourself 
land send all your old ones to Cross- 
nore, where they will be new to those 
who have not seen them before. 

If you live in Inman, take whatever 
you can spare to Ruth Sanders. If in 
Rebekah Scott, take them to Jean- 
nette Archer. If in Main, to Janef 
Preston. The box is to be sent off 
soon, and we all want it to be one 
worthy of Agnes Scott. 


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 
life work. But underclassmen can 
prepare for more useful lives if they 
consider early what they want to do 
in the world. Don’t miss chapel next 
week.

Miss Skinner has also introduced a 
regular missionary program into the 
Sunday school, devotional hour. With 
the election of a new staff of officers 
for the Sunday school this year the 
Intermediate and Senior Department 
was divided from the Adult Depart-

encouraged the debaters with songs

of victory in the actual contest on

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.

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.

ATHLETICS 


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 
Athletic spoke of the Agnes Scott 
wheel is sure to be a success. 


TRACK MEET HELD MARCH 
26TH. 


Seniors Have Most Points Toward

On Saturday afternoon, March 26, 
the Agnes Scott athletes slowly and 
solemnly marched out before an ad- 
miring crowd. The track meet prac- 
tically finishes the athletic year and 
is a fitting climax for such an inter- 
esting, lively and successful season. 

The managers chose the most cap- 
able and interested men as judges, 
who were Dr. McCain, Mr. Johnson 
and Mr. Painter. 


There seven main events 
which were hurdles, discus, baseball 
throw, 100-yard dash,

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. 
—Virginia Reel. 


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 
letter? I guess I’d jest better put 
some stamps on anyhow, fer luck!” 


And the lawyer passed solemnly 
down the _ street.—(Selected).—Ga. 
Cracker. 


“Why do you call me a lock?” 
“Something to adore.” 


THE QUEER MODERN GIRL. 

She is queer—darned queer—queer- 
er than most of these queer modern 
girls. That small V-shaped object 
glides here and there over the shiny 
surface! Under her deft fingers it 
seems controlled—her eyes seem to 
trace its path. 


“Nothing queer about her!” you 
scoff, “All modern girls drive Ouijas.” 

But you are wrong. The V-shaped 
object is no Ouija. It is a flat-iron.—

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

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-

BLACKFRIARS PRE-

tainments that Agnes Scott has had 


this year. 
“Society Manners” was the first 
one. Two society ladies were sitting 


at a table engaged in conversation. 
Behind each stood her primitive self 
who said aloud just what they were 
really thinking while the society la- 
dies carried on the’r conversation in 
the set 
speech which

Though exaggerated somewhat, this 
was rather a true picture of modern 
people, 

The other play went by the name 
“Three Pills in a Bottle." The

home where her little sick boy lay in 
bed. His mother showed him three 
pills in a bottle. The three pills in

set out for her day’s work. 

Three different people passed by

When the poor mother came home

| | WANDERED LONELY AS A |) 
| CLOUD. 


I wandered lonely as a cloud 

That floats on high o’er vales 
and hills, 

When all at once I saw a crowd, 

A host, of golden daffodils; 

Beside the lake, beneath the 
trees, 

Fluttering and dancing in the 
breeze. 

| Continuous as the stars that 
shine 

And twinkle on the milky way, 

They stretch in never-ending 
line 

Along the margin of a bay: 

Ten thousand saw I at a glance, 

Tossing their heads in sprightly 
dance. 


The waves beside them danced; 
but they 

Outdid the sparkling waves in 
glee: 

A poet could not but be gay, 

In such a jocund company: 

I gazed and gazed, but little 
thought 

What wealth the show to me 
had brought. 


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- 
ure fills, 

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 


| practical advice and much _ inspira- 
| tion. 
Agnes Scott feels that she 


tained much of real benefit 
conference. Topics treating 
phase of college life were ¢é 
and discussed freely. Exampl 
| these topics are: methods of 
girls feel personally responsi or 
the success of student government; 
relation of faculty to student; inter- 
collegiate relations; extending honor 
system to high schools and prepara- 
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, 
Scott. 

Viee-President—Edith Elfrich, New- 
comb. 

Secretary—Kathryn Hodges, R. M. 
W. C. 


Agnes 


Treasurer—Lillian Holladay, Hol- 
| lins. 
Field Representative—Lena Ker- 


nodle, N.C. C. W. 
At this time many invitations were 


| submitted for the conference next 


fall, but the vote went to Sophie New- 
comb, 

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. 

Nanabeth Preas—Anti-climax. 

Jack Melver—the moon.

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 
| perfect. 
| The conference has given Agnes 


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. 
are certainly a loyal citizen of this community. 


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.

BLUE RIDGE GIRLS GIVE 
STUNT MONDAY NIGHT. 


Come On, Girls, And Go. 


On Monday night the annual Blue 
Ridge Stunt was given in the chapel. 
It will be time in a few days to sign 
up for Blue Ridge, and so those who 
have already been there once and 
know what it is like want to tell 
everybody else about it, so that they 
will want to go and learn all about) 
it for themselves. 

The stunt gave a picture of a typ- 
ical day at Blue Ridge, just overflow- 


wonderful spirit that makes just be- 
ing at Blue Ridge mean so much. The 
daily song practice was the first thing 
on the program, after classes in the 
morning, and do you know that Ag: | 
nes Scott won second place in the | 
song-contest, with the song which 
danef wrote? So there was always a 
practice on that eventful last Satur- 
day evening, and everybody tried to 
sing a different part and generally the

even though the rain did have a 
rather disastrous effect upon some of 
us, but all the rest,.even though drip- 
ping wet, had a glorious time. 

But the nicest part of all, anybody

why he has chosen to give up a suc- 
cessful career in this country to do 
service in Korea. 

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.

that they all did credit to Agnes

My Dearest Aggie: 


You really should have been here 
last week, we had the most wonderful 
the delegates 
If they like us as well as we 


time while all were 
here. 
liked them, we will have some true 
admirers! Aggie, they were all ador- 
able girls and I wish you could have 
met them. 

You know I think when a girl gets 
flowers nearly every week, there’s a 
reason! Margaretta got some  per- 
fectly 
the other day and she gets ’em so 
otten it’s not even exciting for her 
any more. 

Spring holidays certainly fostered | 


wonderful looking pink roses 


“falling” before and from all reports 
the men “fell” too. Cama vamped a 
nice lieutenant and he’s coming up to 
see her this week-end. Isn’t that 
thrilling? 

Did you hear about Mary Lou?! 
Well, she has a new beau and she 
won't tell me a thing about him be-| 
cause she’s afraid [ll tell you, but| 
she needn't think she’s hiding any- 
thing from me, ’cause I can tell when | 
they’re in love!!! 

You know, Aggie, I wish I was a 
Methodist or at least that I had had 
sense enough to affiliate with the 
Methodist church! Why? Because) 
the other afternoon all the Methodist 
girls were taken out for a long ride 
and then to a tea and they had the 
best time you ever heard of. Just 


j}and every time anybody 


gia are just about all right and the 
only thing she can’t decide is whether 
she likes little “Cooks” or big 
“Cooks” best! 

The other night Martha was all 
dressed up in a lovely brown dress 
came up 
and said how nice she looked or 
carelessly put their arm around her 
she sighed deeply and said she wished 
she was where she had been the last 
night she wore that dress! Now, 
Aggie, wasn’t that a queer statement 
for her to make? Oh! those curving 
arms! 

I haven’t any more news for this 
time, so “adios” until next week. 

Lovingly, 
GIDDIE. 
P. S—I wonder why “Skinny” is so

‘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.

to give the delegates of the Student) 
Government conference a good time) 
as well as a hearty welcome while) 
they were here. Wednesday morning 
members of Hoase gave a tea in the 
Tea Room, cheese straws and tea 
being served. The Junior members 
of Hoase and the delegates were in- 
vited. After the tea, the second ses- 
sion of the convention for the day 
met again. This was a very delight- 
ful intermission. 

Thursday morning, the Y. W. C. A. 
also gave a tea in Rebekah Scott) 
Lobby. Ccffee and sandwiches were 
served by the girls. The new cabinet) 
members for the next year were in-/ 
vited to come with the delegates. 

These social gatherings gave a/| 
chance for the girls to know each| 
other in a different way than in the) 
sessions. Then, too, the girls re- 
freshed by these moments were not 
as tired from the all morning meet- 
ings. 


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 
Miss Miller and Miss Calhoun came 
to the rescue with nice, fresh eur: | 
tains. } 

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 | 


trash can.” The good old organ had 

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 
Realization” committee are: Mary 
McLellan, Ruth Hall, Quenelle Har- 
rold and Lucy Wooten. 


LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE! 


Miss Agnes Has Her Beauty

We have been getting quite cocky 
lately over our appearance. We al- 


| Ways knew we were a distinguished 


looking community, the genuine Four 


Hundred, as it were, but it is only in| 


the last day or two that we had proof 
of the recognition of this fact by the 
outside world. This proof has been 
in the shape of Atlanta photographers 
who have pursued us with cameras 
and a zealous persistence which Nor- 
ma Talmadge might covet. 

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, 
and pleaded with us to look pretty if 
possible but pleasant in all circum- 
stances, the other urged us in sten- 
torian and megaphonic tones to show 
a little pep and when we were effect- 
ively posed and thoroughly cowed.

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.

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.

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 
pring the audience to her feet, as she 
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

Were this all, it would be quite 
enough to assure us of the sterling 
worth of this production, but this is

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.

FIRST DRESS REHEARSAL. 


Dances To Be Repeated in 
Atlanta, 


The first dress rehearsal for “Pan- 
dora,” the May Day fete at Agnes 
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-

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, 
rived, we had already heard the good 
news, for Miss Spott Payne, one of our 
alumnae who lives in Lynchburg, had 
called over long distance. 

The Randolph-Macon-Sophie New- 
combe debate, which was held in New 
Orleans, 
cision in favor of Sophie Newcombe. 

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 


Marie Landress, and Eleanor Carpen- | 
| constituted in the eangyaistion act 


ter, were royally received at Randolph- 
Macon and given many lovely enter- 
tainments. Agnes Scott is proud to 


have had these girls represent her, not | 
only_as debaters. but as,tynifving the |

angular debate will be arranged in 
such a way that Randolph-Macon will 
send one of her teams here, and we 
will have the opportunity of showing 
her how much we appreciate the cor- 
dial hospitality she has extended to 
our. debaters this year. 

The triangular debate was a great 
success. Especially does Agnes Scott 
feel glad and satisfied over the result, 
not only because we won, but because 
we feel we have learned to know and 


but even before the wire ar-| 


resulted in a unanimous de-)|

COMB. 


“Here’s to the rep, the pep—the name 
of Agnes Scott, 


| For it is a jolly thing to be a Hotten- 


tot.” 

And no occasion in the whole ses- 
sion of ’20-’21 at dear old A. S. G. has 
proved more conclusively the exist- 
ence of aforesaid rep, pep, ete., than 
the occasion of the Newcomb-Agnes 
Scott debate on Tuesday night, April 
26th. 

In the first place, the pep was cer- 


tainly 100 per cent. present, as any- 


| body who was there can testify, and as 


anybody who was within two blocks of 


chapel can testify. Serenades and 
yells, cheers and songs kept the air 
ringing for over half an hour before 
Our song-leader, 


Ruth Hall, was the “peppiest” yet, and 


our orchestra—well, it was just grand 
|—in fact, everything was simply great. 


After we had sung a while, and sung

hear the debate: “Resolved, that in

time, and that now it was finally

Plain that each college (Re M.-W, 'C.,

TRIP TO STONE MOUNTAIN 
GIVEN NEWCOMB 


DEBATERS. 
“They say that Stone Mountain 


It ain’t got no style; 

It’s got style all the while 
All the while, 

All the while.” 

At least our Newcomb visitors saw 
Stone Mountain in style last Thursday 
morning. The Athletic Association 
hired a car and took the debating 
guests for a long ride to the pet show 
place of Georgia. There are no moun- 
tains in Louisiana, and least of all, 


A. S. C.’s “negative” team was debat- 
ing at Randolph-Macon. After a state- 
ment of the question, the actual de- 
bate commenced. 

Frances Charlotte Markeley and 
Charlotte Bell represented Agnes 
Scott and debated the affirmative side 
of the question. Martha Stansfield 
was alternate. Miss Shields and Miss 
Odenheimer were Newcomb'’s de- 
baters for the negative, with Miss 
Kuss as alternate, 

After a most instructive and inter- 
esting debating on the question by the

Two invitations to present the May 
Day festival in Atlanta have been re 
ceived: one from the Alumnae Aseru- 
ciation and one from the Ovdlonial 
Dames. Since two extra performances 
cannot be given, these two organiza- 
tions have combined and will arrange 
for one presentation to be given after 
that at Agnes Scott, which will take 
place on Saturday afternoon of May 7.

Anybody that was present can tell 
you that if there was any doubt as to 
the rep, the pep or anything else about 
the A. S. C. spirit these doubts van- 
ished into thin air on Tuesday night 
on the occasion of the debate, 

The visiting representatives from'S. 
N. were entertained while here at 
luncheons and teas—for on Tues- 
day they were entertained at luncheon 
at East Lake club and then taken 
for a drive; then at 5 o'clock a re- 
ception was given for them in the 
Mnemosynean Hall by the Lecture As- 
sociation. On Wednesday Pi Alpha 
Phi entertained them at the Hotel Ans- 
ley at lunch, Miss Stevenson gave 
them a tea in her room in West Lawn, 
and later Julia Hagood entertained 
them at supper in the Tea Room. 
Then on Wednesday night they were 
taken to the opera, were entertained 
again on Thursday and left Thursday 
afternoon for New Orleans,

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 |,

MISS MALTRY SPEAKS ON 
“NURSING AS A PRO-

what?” Speakers in different profes-

to us on “The Opportunities of Nurs-

She explained in detail a broad pro- 
gram for public health, which includes 
the services of trained nurses. She 
said that few avenues of work, either 
professional or commercial, were 
closed to women now. But many of 
them are overcrowded, whereas the 
country is greatly in need of more 
nurses. The demand for nurses, she

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-

RECEPTION GIVEN ATLANTA 
PRESBY TERIAL. 


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.

Swimming pool and warm weather! 
What two words go more beautifully 


together? Of course Miss Agnes’ 
swimming pool is open to all, and in 
all weather too; but somehow it 


doesn’t seem so tempting when there’s 
ice and snow on the ground. 

One can pass by the gym building 
any hour of the day and hear the girls 
splashing about in the vast depths of 
our ocean. And did you ever hear 
such delighted squeaks and yells as 
issue from the very bottom of these

must be quick to see and ready to 
meet the needs of the world.” 


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.

DIDN’T INTEREST HIM. 

A gentleman here from Georgia says 
the labor situation in the South this 
year reminds him of this story: 

A negro applied to a cotton planta- 
tion manager for work. 

“All right,” said the manager, 
“Come around in the morning and 
T’ll put you to work and pay you what 
you are worth.” 

“No, suh, I can’t do dat,” replied 
the negro. “I’se gittin’ mo’ dan dat

KNEW BY THE HONK 
A portly Dutch woman applied at 
the postoffice for a money order to 
send to her son in the Far Bast. She 
told the clerk she had left her son’s 
at home, but said he was 


like der noise an automobile makes.” 

The clerk smiled and turning to an- 
other nearby he said: “What kind of 
a@ noise does an automobile make, 
Joe?” 

“Honk, honk!” the other suggested. 

“Yah, dat’s it,’ exclaimed the 
woman, her face brightening. “Honk, 
honk, dot’s der place.’

QUESTIONS ASKED. 

A small boy of the Jewish persua- 
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

A professor was in Egypt supervis- | 
ing the erection of a telescope. He}

and asked how he knew just when| 
to give the signal. 

“Oh, I look at my watch,” replied 
the gunner.

“T take it to the watchmaker in 


Cairo,” exclaimed the soldier, “and 


he tells me the error.” 

Forthwith the professor interviewed 
the watchmaker and asked him to ex- 
plain how he checked the error of the 


gunner’s watch. “I always get the 


correct time from the gun,’ was the 
reply. 


NOT SUCH A LARGE PLACE. 

It seemed that when Rastus and 
Sam died they took different routes, 
so when the latter got to heaven he 
called Rastus on the ‘phone. 

“Rastus,” he said, “how yo’ like it

DRESS REFORM SKITS AT 
SMITH. 


Three Plays Given in John M. 
Greene Hall Saturday Night 
—Audience Awards Prizes 
To Authors. 


Northampton, April 16.—‘Alice 


“What do you think of! Through the Boudoir Glass”; “Three | 


Inches from the Floor’; and “A Mil- 
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.

One Sunday the first boy was ab-

“Adam,”

replied, “The boy that God made is
