FIRST CHAPEL EXERCISES

MR. J. K. ORR SPEAKS.

—_ = =

AH The first chapel exercises for the
ession were held at nine o'clock on
Wednesday morning, when, after a
hymn and a short prayer, Dr. Gaines
\idressed the students. He used the
deals of women as his theme, No na-
ion, he said, can rise higher than its
omanhood; and, using Rome as an
lustration, he tol!’ how the immoral-
ity of her womén had contributed
much to the downfall of the eternal
ity. At the present time also, he con-
nued, there is an immoral tendency
rking its way into the world, and}
t falls to the lot of the Christian
Woman's college to stem this tide.
ligh scholarship alone cannot do it,
t scholarship dominated by Christi-
inity can work out the salvation of
Women.

Dr. Gaines then defined the mission
f Agnes Scott as the sending out of
women who shall be leaders ang who

e a true, modest and refined woman.
After a few words about the respon-
“‘Sibility of the officers, faculty members|

Dr. Gaines ended by asking that)

“Mr. J. K, Orr, the chairman of the
Board of Trustees, was then asked to
Speak. After welcoming each and
Byery girl back to Agnes Scott, Mr. Orr
‘Bail that in the dedication of an old
ime of poems, he had found the fol-
itd Hinos which _seemed to liim_es-
ally suited to the occasion:
fest test of woman’s worth,
t sign of gentle birth,

Is modesty.”
Mr. Orr is always a welcome guest
here, and both the students and mem-)
hers of the faculty appreciate his open-
ing the doors of Agnes Scott for the)
Biss session.

ALUMNAE BUILDING BEING
CONSTRUCTED.

Will Be Complete by Christmas.

Wasn't it grand to come back and
find a brand new building going up?)
The name of it is “the Alumnae build-|
“ing,” and it is a memorial to Miss
Anna Young, who held the chair of
Mathematics for so long.

Most of us have no idea how many
“wonderful uses this Alumnae building
is going to be put to. First of all, of
course, it is a place where the alumnae
can stay when they come hack to visit
Agnes Seott. There are seven rooms
up stairs. The ¢lass of '21 is furnish-|
‘ng one of these as its farewell gift to
the college. Then the college is furn-
ishing one for the lecturers, etc., Who |
Come to visit us. There will also be
‘a room for Miss|Bishop, who will look
after the building.

But, best of all, is the down stairs.
We are going io have a lovely tea
foom that extends across the whole
building. Sometimes we want to have
little parties and there has been no
place to have them. Well, the Alum-
mae Association has not overlooked
this fact. Opening into the spacious
tea room is a beautiful little dining
toom where we can entertain our
friends. Then, after the tea or lunch-
eon, or whatever we have, is over, we
¢an just walk into the living room and
make ourselves at home. }

Haven’t we had a hard time press-
ing our ‘dresses, and, maybe, making
them? Well, we won’t have to un-
dergo these hardships much longer.
There is a room Where we can press
our clothes and hang them up in nice,
larce closets. This room will also
eontain two good sewing machines.
Then there will be a gift shop and
an office for the secretary of the as-
sociation. Just a few more months,
and we will have all these good
things, Think what is in store for

NEW ACQUISITION IN THE

Girls, have you met all the new
folks on the campus yet? Don’t think
that you've seen every one when you
have called on your “grandchildren”

| and all the new girls that various peo-

ple have asked you to “be nice to,”
and have made a Sunday night round

on the faculty! Have you noticed
how many new faces appeared in the
hack rows of the chapel the first
morning school opened? It is true
that some of them have been taken
for new

students, nevertheless they
are catalogued as faculty.

The French department has the
largest addition of all. In the ab-
sence of Miss Le Gate, Miss Alexan-

der has been appointed head of the.

To the old girls
needs no introduction, but
want the new girls to know that we
are proud to claim her as our own,
and justly proud, too, for she was the
first Agnes Scott graduate to take an

University.
From Smith College comes Miss

| Lois Gibbons, who has taught history

there. Miss Gibbons has a Ph.D. fom
Cornell University. —
In the spagih and German depart-

ments we have Miss Muriel Horn,
with a Pl.D, degree from Johns Hop-

|kins. She has recently been teach-
ing at Salem College. P
Miss Mary Goodwin, who is the

new addition to the Latin department,
is a Vassar graduate, holding a B.
degree from that college.

Have you met the new residents of
East Lawn? Our new mathematics
professor and his wife are living
there. All loyal “Tar Heels” will be
glad to know that Mr. W. W, Rankin,
Jr., received an M, A, degree from the
University of North Carolina. Mr.

Rankin has been teaching for several |//

years at Columbia. His associate
professor is Miss Gayloid, of Brie co
lege.

This year the spoken English de-
partment has alse changed hands.
Miss Edith Moses, M. A., of Columbia,
will take the place of Miss Gooch.

To this year’s Senior class, Miss
fsabel Randolph is not a stranger, for
she was here when they were Fresh-
men, and they all learned to love her
then, It is a glad welcome that we
give her this year, as she comes to be
in charge of the work in physical edu-
cation, assisted by Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn.

Don't think that it is a mistake to
introduce Miss Curry as a new mem-
ber of the voice department, for she’s
not the same Miss Curry that was
here last year. We know how nice
people of that name can be so we
are anxious to be better acquainted
with her,

Last, but by no means feast, we
come to that noble adjunct to our in-
stitution of learning, namely, the li-
brary. ii all that sea of books, what
would we do without a capable pilot
to. guide us? On September 7, Miss
Longshore embarked on a matrimno-
nial venture and left the ship’s log in
the hands of Miss Sanders, with whom
doubtless, most of us are already ac-
quainted jn a literary if not a social
way.

else who is part of A. S. C.

MANY THANKS FRANCES, WE
HATE TO LOSE YOU.

Franees Stuart, a most active mem-
ber of last year’s Sophomore class,
and one of the best known Agnes
Scott students, returned this year for
only a short time. She came the week
before school started and, as chair-
man of the Y. W. C. A. entertain-
ment coununtttee, tad charge of al-the
social affairs of the first week. . Her
capable hand has everywhere - been
seen in the cordial reception given
to all new girls, in their being shown
about the campus, in the dances, in
the gym, in the floor parties in the
various halls, and in the reception
given the first Saturday night of
school.

Frances has been with us for the
past two years and has taken a very
active part in all student activities.
Her untiring efforts always for {he
good of the college community, ber
executive ability in organizations, and
her constant, loyalty to Agnes Seqtt,
will be missed by the whole college
community, and by her class esphe-
fally.

This fall she will take a teaches
training course at Peabody er
and it ig needless to say that we dp-
preciate her coming back this year
andicarrying out the work of the Y. W.
Cc. A, enterfainment committee more
than we ean tell, and that every ore
of us,old girls and new, wish her! a
pleasant year and unlimited suecess.

But the officers are not the entire

There are many departments and
many committees.

Perhaps the two Commons best

publicity committee, of which Que-

tertainment committee, with Julia
Jamison in charge.

Surely you have noticed the attract-

the publicity committee, while the
entertainments given during the past
week, the Y. W. C. A. tea and the

joint reception given with student-

VOCAL AND EXPRESSION DE.
PARTMENTS TO GIVE
RECITALS,

Doubtless we have all been very
much interested in meeting and know-
ing the new voice and elocution teach-
ers. A chance will soon be given us
to know them better and appreciate
their skill. Miss Curry, of the voice
department, and Miss Moses; of the ex-
pression department, will give a re-
cital on Monday, October 3, at 8:30
o'clock. All the college community is
invited to attend this.

A@nrs Soorr COLLEGE.
DEAREST Morner:

Oh, mother, everything is so strange
and new that I scarcely know what to
write. I loye everything and every-
body, but T can’t get used to this new
life. You know how, at home, every-
body looks out for their own good
times, and doesn’t bother about the
other fellow. Well, you know here it's
just the opposite. As little as you
may believe it, mother, every girl for-
gets herself and spends all her time
making the new girls have fun. Just
parties, parties, parties, where every-
body dresses up and is made to feel
popular. But I'll just Rave to tell you
about each one individually, ‘cause
they have all been wonderful.

Thursday afternoon the Y. W. C. A.
gave all the new girls a tea, and it
wasn't a bit stiff, like those at home.
The old girls took us and we went to
the summer house, where some of the
girls served punch. Everything was
just beautiful, for it was decorated in
pink and blue balloons and crepe pa-
per. We talked and met lots of old
girls and just all around had a dandy
time.

Then that night we had the funniest
party I have ever seen. Have you

THE AGONISTIC

A FRESHMAN’S LETTER HOME |

| where you would go to Sunday school, |

ever been to a backwards party, moth-
er? Well, that’s what this was, and
it’s the funniest thing in the world
to see everything backwar@s: Even
the seniors were undignified and wore

their hair backwards. We danced
some, but if was hard to tell which
way ‘you were going—backwards
forwards,

Next night we had floor parties, a
that’s about the best idea I know, for
it’s awfully hard not to know your
next-door neighbor. Now I feel fa-
miliar enough to drop in anywhere on
the hall and feel at home. We sang,
played and ate until we all knew each
other better.

But all those entertainments are
minor events compared to the big re-
ception Saturday night fn Rebecca
Scott lobby. Mother, I was scared to
death to go, because everybody had
to go down a long receiving line full
of faculty and big girls. I just know
I'd do something wrong and ruin my
rep, but I didn’t. My date (yes, we
had special dates with old girls) said
I did fine, and I think I did, too. No-
body could have said “How do you do,
Dr. Gaines?” with any more dignity
than I did,

We wore evening dregses that night
and the men wore dregs suits, so, of
course, we felt too flossy to live. Every-
thing was wonderfully decorated in
goldenrod and leayes, and two girls
danced a barn dance appropriate to
the decorations. I just wish you could
“ave been there, for it was really ele-
gant.

Now, mother, that isn’t all that has
been done for us, but I haven’t time to
write about everything, when I want
to tell you what is yet in store. Can
you believe we aren’t through with
parties yet? Well, we aren’t, for each
class is going to give a big party for)
the entire school and both literary so-|
cieties are going to entertain, too. We
are dreadully popular right now, so I
don’t ever want to get down to real
work.

Mother, dearest, please come up to
see me and. meet all my wonderful
friends, and see how cordially the old}
girls treat the new. This Y. W. C. A.
is the best in the world, for it has
made us feel at home, and we appre-
ciate it, too, more than we can ever
tell. Lovingly,

FRESHIE,

MISS RANDOLPH AND MISS WIL-

BURN GUESTS OF HONOR AT

ATHLETIC BOARD BAN-
QUET.

One of the many nice things about
having Miss Randolph back is that a
new gym teacher always provides the
athletic board with an excellent rea-
son for giving a banquet in her honor.
The banquet, long and joyfully antici-
pated by the board, took place in the
private dining room of the Silhouette
tea room on last Wednesday evening.
There were eleven guests, Miss Ran-
dolph and Miss Wilburn, the officers
-and sport managers of the Associa-
_tion, andthe song and_orchestra lead-
ers.

The color scheme was purple and
white, of course, for athletics is one
of the best possible ways to express

\| 9:45 p. m. cause the study-soaked Hot-

END OF 9:45 WHISTLE.
No more will the siren whistle of

tentot to jump half way across the
room in the excitement of the moment
—or if she happens to live on the end
of the campus farthest from aforesaid
siren. No more, we say, will she
sleepily wonder what kind of bird
sings at night! Why this outburst
about the whistle? Well, because it
is no more, for the people of Decatur
have requested that their slumbers
(2) be not disturbed at such an un-
earthly hour,

Instead of the whistle the bell will
sound as warning every night at 9:45
so the girl who is deep in her books
may know that if she continues in her
wild ways such longer than fifteen
minutes she will have the pleasure of
going to bed in the dark, or, if she be
a Senior, she will be reminded that
the night is yet young.

college spirit and manufacture pep. THE SILHOUETTE OFFERS

White carnations stood at each end
of the table, while a row of crystal
eandlesticks gave a soft light. At
each place was a tiny white basket
of mints, tied with purple ribbon. The
place cards played an important part
in the plan of decoration, each one be-
ing painted with something to repre-
sent the office of the girl for whom it
was intended. Judging by the sounds
that leaked through the closed door
of the dining room, the banquet was a
yery hilarious affair, both Seniors and
faculty forgetting their dignity and
becoming as youthful in spirit and
conduct as the pig-tailed damsels so
thick upon the campus just now. We
all love Miss Randolph and particu-
larly is the athletic board fond of her,
but banquets are “simply grand.”

PRIZE FOR BEST
KODAK PICTURE

Contest Begins Right Away.

Everybody likes to take pictures,
and everybody else likes to see the
pictures everybody else takes. The
Silhouette staff has just made this
more-than-important discovery, and
has decided to offer a prize for the
best group of pictures submitted by
the students of Agnes Scott. The
Silhouette realizes that the best way
to put out an annual of universal in-
terest is to have contributions from
people who are “in touch with all
parts of the campus,” and as the hu-
man race is more willing to work for
a prize than for the sake of mere
glory, the annual prize is for the pur-
pose of encouraging the girls to sub-
mit their kodak pictures for publi-
cation in the 1922 Silhouette.

The contest is to start right away,
so get out your cameras and begin)
to snap. The prize is offered to the
girl who has the most snap-shots in
|the Annual. Contributions may be-
|gin any time, the sooner the better.
It is not necessary to submit all the
prints at once, as each girl's contri-
| butions will be kept in a separate en-
velope, to avoid any confusion.
| The contest is open to anybody who
‘is interested. The winner will be an-
nounced the day the Silhouette comes
from the press. All pictures which
are not used will be returned,

EVERYBODY COME TO THE SUN-
DAY SCHOOL RALLY—START
THE YEAR RIGHT!

Have you been wondering when and

dear Agnes Scotters? If you have,
that question is going to be answered |
for you right now. Don’t you remem-
ber those gala days which were called
Sunday schodl rallies, when you put
on your yery crispest new dress and
went tripping’ along more gaily than
usual, jingling your pennies? There
was a new sort of interest in going to
Sunday school and a feeling of excite-
ment in the air. Perhaps you were a
red or a blue or some other denomina-
tion which distinguished you and your
side from another, and you had asked
several people to go with you—per-
haps they accompanied you to Sunday
school that morning. What a feel-

jing of satisfaction you had when you

could report a new member whom you
had brought! Weren’t you just curi-
ous to see who was there, and weren't
you just thrilled over the new people
in your class? Perhaps there was a
talk by the superintendent or some-
one else whom you liked that made
you very happy and ambitious!

Of course, you remember all these
things, and more. And wouldn’t you
just be excited again to have an old-
school rally at
Agnes Scott? Yes, indeed! That is
just what we are going to have, too,
this very next Sunday at 9:15 a. m.
in the chapel. So come, bringing all
your roommates and friends, sing
some real stirring Sunday school
songs, find out who will be the super-
intendent and teachers, and join a
class.

down to the lobby that it wasn’t just a
fire drill, but a sure-enuff, honest,
truly fire. He has kept such hazards
from us for years. May the good
work continue, Mr. Starr!

He is also a friend to the day stu-
dent who works in the library at
night. They feel a kindly protecting
gaze watch them down the long walk,
through the gate and just as far as
his eyes can see.

You old girls remember those cold,
rainy nights last winter wher “the
wind went woo, the lamp wici spiut
tered,” and all the rest. There, faith-
ful and cheerful, was he protecting
our lives from many a hazard that
none of us have ever dreamed of.

Now, Mr. Starr is a jolly, good fel-
low, and the kind that appreciates a
word or so about the weather and a
good, whole-souled handshake. Stop!
sometimes, fair maid of mine, and in-
quire after his grandchildren; he ap-
preciates it ever so much. It’s hard
to do enough for one who does so
much for you!

So, here’s to you, Mr. Starr, a power
behind the throne—noble, faithful,
trustworthy, all in one are you.

And best wishes for your grand-
children, too.

“CHOC’LATE AND PEANUTS!
CHOC’LATE AND PEANUTS!”
Every “old student” is more or less

familiar with the haunting cry of the
Junior who walked endless miles up
and down steps, over colonnades, and

through corridors selling candy and

peanuts, and every “new student’

will soon become familiar with the

jery, and—the Juniors hope—become

veritable “choe’late and peanuts”
fiends! For the Juniors have sud-
denly been inspired to “get rich
quick”—and “all donations joyfully
|received.” Besides the “choc'late and

peanuts” which the Juniors will dis-
tribute at nominal prices, there will
be a most entertaining stunt put on
by the aforesaid inspired Junior class
on the date of October 15. Every
body stock up on candy and peanut
and come to see it, for you’re bound
to have a “rippin’ good time.” Th
exact nature of the stunt is as ye
an undivulged secret, but the idea is
started, and an evening of fun is guar-
anteed.

The chocolate and peanuts can be
procured from:

So there’s a place where you can
buy the goodies near your own room,
wherever you stay. So, when an at-
tack of that unaccountable in-between-
time hunger comes on there is whole-
some food at hand.

But why the Juniors’ sudden long-
ing to fill the class coffers? Well,
that’s a Junior secret—and every girl
who has ever been a Junior can sym-
pathize, while the joy of sympathizing
is yet to be for those yet to be Juniors.

In the’meanwhile, hoard the shekels
and run to the nearest supply station
and partake of candy and peanuts—
and don’t forget October 15th.

H ENTHUSIASM AT ATH-
LETIC RALLY.

One of the most enthusiastic meet-
ings held at Agnes Scott in recent
years was the athletic ratly which took
place at 7:30 o’clock Thursday on the
hockey fields. Short speeches, which
urged that a keen interest be taken in
athletics this year, were made by the
members of the athletic board, who
are as follows: :

Elizabeth Wilson—Hockey.

Juanita Kelly—Track.

Frances Harper—Basketball.

Ethel Ware—Tennis.

Nannie Campbell—Hiking.

Each class showed its spirit by
songs and cheers.

ATHLETIC FORECAST.

Now that all Aggie is back and pon-
dering over unavoidable heat and in
evitable lessons, one of the first un-
angwerable questions to puzzle the
wiseacres is “who'll win the athletic
cup?” There are some brainy sooth-
Sayers who have rather definite proph-
ecies (which uncannily spell the
name of their individual classes), but
nobody can actually demonstrate his
proposition. Please yourself and pick
your winner, judging from last year's
facts and this year’s possible fancies.
Right or wrong, you'll be happy just
the same—nobody will know if you
miss it!

Since last year’s Seniors won the
eup, every class has an even chance.
The Seniors have plenty of pluck, en-
ergy and skill. All they need to hope
for is good luck, The Juniors and
Sophomores are about as firm rivals
(and friends) as they were last year,

An Unconventional Surrender.

The history class in a Long Island
public school had finished a chapter
dealing with the surrender of Gen.
Robert E. Lee to Gen. U. S. Grant,
much detail having been given to the
contrast in the dress of the two gen-
erals,

“Now.” asked the teacher at the
oral review, “can any of you tell me
just how the two great generals were
dressed at this important ceremony?”

A little fellow held up his hand.

“Why,” he said, “General Lee was
dressed up. He had on a full-dress
Confederate suit with gold buttons,
and he gave General Grant a jeweled
sword.”

“But how was
dressed?” she asked.

“Oh, he was in a hurry and just had
on an old Union suit.”’—Saturday

Third Time Unlucky.

A colored soldier in the American
army was on guard for the first time
in his life. A dark form approached
him.

“Halt!” he cried, in a threatening
tone. “Who are you?”

“The officer of the day.”

“Advance,”

The officer advanced, but before he
had proceeded half a dozen steps the
dusky sentry again cried, ‘‘Halt!”

Grateful Appreciation.

When Whistler, the famous artist,
was living in London he was annoyed
not a little by a bumptious English-
man who always persisted in accost-
ing him familiarly in public places.

“Hello, Whistler,” exclaimed the
pest as they met one afternoon in a
club. “Hello, Whistler, I passed your
house today.”

“Thank you,” retorted the artist fer-
vently.—Saturday Evening Post.

Her Maternai Instinct.

Bryn Mawr College girls are given

One sweet young thing is said to
have given the following list: Violin,

WHAT FORMER FACULTY
MEMBERS ARE DOING.

Although we are enjoying making
new acquaintances and greeting old
friends on the Agnes Scott campus,
yet there are many familiar faces that
we miss seeing this year. Especially
do we miss many of the faculty mem-
bers who have left Agnes Scott to
work in other fields.

Miss Le Tate, whom we all re
ber most pleasantly, is head o
French department at Adeéipni C
in New York. Miss Stevenso
studying in England, and Miss
is making use of her knowledg
Spanish by teaching in Cuba,

Miss Newton has for the present
given up her study of French, and is
taking a secretarial course at Sim-
mons College in Boston, Miss Sledd
is teaching mathematics in Girls’ High
School in Atlanta, although it is ru-
mored that she has decided not to
keep the position very long. Miss
Hammond has decided to be a lady of
leisure this year and is staying at
home, while Miss Gooch is head of the

expression at Trinity College in
Texas.

And Mr. Painter? For any infor-
mation concerning him, see Miss

Margaret Thorington,: and she will

doubtless be able to give it.

International Relations Club
Re-Organizes

NEW OFFICERS ELECTED—
BARON KORFF COMING.

The International Relations Club
held its first meeting for this year Fri-
day, September 30th, in the Mnemosy-
nean hall. This was a business meet-
ing, when the officers for the year were
elected and plans were discussed. Ro-
berta Love, who served so efficiently
as president last year, was re-elected.
The vice-president elected was Vir-
ginia Ordway; secretary-treasurer, Jo-
sephine Logan, and the two members|
ot the executive board chosen were)
Charlotte Keesler and Martha Lee Tal-|
jaferro.

This club, which was organized last
year, is of course, a branch of the In-
ternational Relations Club which is
known to all of us. We are indeed for-
tunate in having Miss Hearon as direc-
ter and the interest and enthusiasm
which she has shown have vroven
quite an incentive to the girls.

The purpose of the club is the sci-
entific study of the current interna-
tional problems that confront man-
kind in a thoroughly non-partisan
spirit and devoid of any propagandist
aim. It is hoped that the club will
mean a great deal to the students
and create more interest in the af-
fairs of the world.

There are now enrolled forty-five |
members. Membership in the club re-
quires that the student have one year
of college history, or if she cannot
meet this requirement, but is very
anxious to become a member, she
must submit her application to the
executive board, who will take action
upon it.

The plan of study for the first few
months will be the problems of the
Pacific. This subject is one of inter-
est to all of us, yet very few of us
have gone deeply into the question, so
we are planning to learn more about it
so that we won’t be ignorant of “his-
tory in the making.”

The next meeting of the club is to
be October 21, the main topic of dis-
cussion will be the disarmament con-
ference to be held at Washington be-
ginning November 11. There will be
two very interesting papers given, one
“Critical Problems of the Disarma-
ment Conference,” and the other “Con-
trast Between Washington and Paris
Conferences.” After this there will be
open discussion, and all will be free
to ask any questions or discuss prob-
lems bearing on the subject.

The club is planning to have several
good speakers come to the college dur-
ing the year. The first of these will
be Baron Korff, who was a high offi-|
cial in Russia under the ancient re-
gime, but who was forced to flee to
America when the bolsheviki gained
the other hand. Further announce-
ments will be made later concerning
his expected visit.

Since it is to last a week, many things
can happen and are going to happen.
No one is required to participate in the
events: but it will show school spirit
and co-operation. It is earnestly de-
sired and urged that each and every
person help in this demonstration
week, If we do, the campaign will
have pep and school spirit, two things
always needed. Participation in the
week’s doings will be worth while
mentally, physically and morally. So
every one come in and help and gain
something.

During this week are to be given
tableaux, stunts, charades, and other
such things. Dr. Sweet and Miss Ran-

brimful of ideas. So the week is sure
to be enjoyable.

FOR INFORMATION.

Everybody at Agnes Scott knows
Miss Philo Sturgis, or Miss Phi, as she
is called. And everybody knows Miss
Phi’s pet. Miss Phi’s pet is the whole
of Agnes Scott, as a whole, and as in-
dividuals. And now Miss Phi has a
new fad to introduce. We are all in-
‘terested in mascots, so. Miss Phi has
| brought to her gift shop the latest
‘tuning in mascots, the Stocking Doll.
| These dolls come in two sizes, and are

_Lontled.. Rusten Wise and Tinwe Wise

respectively. They are soft and com-
forting, and may be obtained in many
color combinations. If as many as fif-
ty girls order the. Wise boys in A. S. C.
colors, they may be had in purple
‘and white. But at present, they come
in red and white, blue, pink, yellow,
brown, and, in fact, in all of our class
| colors.

Pennants and pillow tops of purple
land white are awfully expensive, so
why not send a stocking doll to baby
| sister, or to big brother off at school?
| Both sizes are the same price, $1.00 or
90 cents, and may be used by the hard-
hearted as pin-cushions.

Let’s all go over to 125 South Cand-
ler street and sign up for Buster or
Tiny Wise. They are the last word in
style. Go early and avoid the rush.

In addition to her “toy department,”
Miss Phi has a lovely gift shop. The
prices are moderate, and the articles
are nearly all hand-made. You will
find there gifts for any occasion, or
any friend.

OUTCOME OF THE STUNT

SOPHOMORES AGAIN WIN
BLACK CAT.

Again the Black Cat has been won
by the class of '24. Both stunts were
of unusual merit—wit, pep and orig-
inality characterizing them. It goes
without saying that both classes were
eager for the bronze trophy. Yet, the
judges could award it only to one—but
which? They based their decision
upon those things that stand out as
essentials to a really good play. Their
first requirement was that the plot be
clearly conveyed to the audience and
that the details lead in orderly man-
ner to the climax.

characters, the costumes, the presenta-
tion of the character and the stage
settings were taken into considera-
tion.

It was only after careful delibera-
tion upon the merits of both that the
judges awarded the prize to the Soph-
omore class. Both the classes are to
be congratulated upon “the splendid
spirit and undying enthusiasm which
prevailed throughout the entire con-
test.

many duties. She sent out last week
1,200 copies of “The Register,” which
gives the alumna an account of the
work of the local Agnes Scott Alumna
Clubs and other standing committees,
a statement of the financial conditions
of the association, a report of the
scholarships, and a report from the
tea room. An interesting item in the
last “Register” was the announcement
of the Louise McKinney Play Contest
Prize of $250 to be given for five
years by an alumnae who wishes her
name to remain unknown to the alum-
aa, who writes the best play. These
plays are to be sent in before January

McGowan, three of the foremost Amer-
ican playwrights.

THE AGONISTIC

SOCIAL SERVICE DEPART-
MENT IN FULL SWING.
Is Agnes Scott alive, and are we in-
terested in our fellow man?

A throng of eager girls, deep in
social service work, call back with
heartiest accent, “I'll say we are!”

And if you don’t believe it, just in-
vestigate a little on your own account
and see. You will find scores of Agnes
Scott girls who do not think that
studies are so pressing, that athletics

is so binding that there is no time
left to show the spirit of brotherly
love.

We all of us know the song which
has become so popular in our Sunday
schools at home, “Brighten the Corner
Where You Are,” and to the Agnes
Scott girls many, many “corners” pre-
sent themselves. And just to prove
that our hearts are in the right place,
we have lost no time in beginning
that brightening process. We are “up
to our ears” in social service work and
also, aS a natural result, “up to our
ears” in smiles.

One of the most interesting of those
corners, which really doesn't happen
to be a corner at all, is the Wesley

are so interesting, or that the library |

BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS

House. For those of us who have

grown up with “little sister” always at
| our heels, this work ought to prove
|very attractive. |

The home is situated right in the
heart of the mill district and has chil-
‘dren of all ages, sizes and descrip-
tions. There are at least a hundred
babies here, because a day nursery is
|/kept up to accommodate the mothers
who are working all day.
| Just here is an opportunity to give
an excellent piece of advice to the
Agnes Scott girl. If you feel just a
little unimportant, or just a trifle un-|
necessary in the throng of bustling |
efficient students on thé campus, just
try visiting this day nursery. How
glad the children are to see you! And
how glad you will be to see them!
They need the hour of games and sto-
ry-telling that you can give them
quite as much as you need an eager
listener. :

Besides the Wesley House, there is
the DeKalb county poor farm, where
just a handful of old péople are found.
They are so very interesting, and so
very much interested in Agnes Scott
girls, or any other “aeons who stray.
their way. :

And those who have been there will

lus,

tell you of “Uncle Nathan,” one of the
old men who loves the “fiddle” with
all the ardor of a first love. They are
all very fond of music. People do not
forget this when they visit there, and
always carry a bountiful supply of
song books, of which they make good
use.

The orphans’ home, too, just out of
Decatur, gives every girl the chance
to forget that she is a dignified and
responsible student delving into the
intricacies of Anglo-Saxon or calcu-
There she may romp to her
heart’s content with the youngsters
and fairly shout, “Hence, loathed
melancholy!”

The crippled children’s home, too,
becomes the object of many visits from
college, where the girls carry baskets
filed with bits of ribbon, party fa-
vors, Or any amusing little trifles
which they happen to have stored
away as nonessentials.

It is with this attractive list of
places that the social service depart-
ment of the Y. W. C. A. beguiles the
Agnes Scott girl into participation
in its work. Practically all of us have
taken up at least one phase of this
work and we feel that we are very
fortunate to be able to do it.

a PLAINT OF THE DAY
STUDENT,

We all have our troubles and some-

/times more than our share, we think.

The day students are up to the min-

ute in everything, and especially hard |

luck. A thousand obstacles seem to
loom up before us when we enter col-
lege; this year almost everything has
seemed to go wrong. Many of us, af-
ter a year or two of experience, have
come to the conclusion that a day stu-
dent’s life is a tough proposition.

Matters would not be so gloomy-
looking if most of the day students did
not live in the four corners of Fulton
and DeKalb counties. Many of us live
in West End,-on the South Side, in
“Ansley Park and at other very great
distances from the college. Yet we

‘must have eight o'clock classes which
makes it necessary for some of us to
leave home quite early in the morn-
ings; sometimes when it is quite dark.

Another thing, which sorely grieves
day students, is the small number of
books in the library. We wish that
some benevolent person would kindly
endow our library with a million dol-
lars or a million books. All of us have
from one to five note courses, and how
can we do our reading when all the
boarders monopolize all the books all
the time? Boarders can use the books

at night until 9:15, but day students |

cannot stay out that late. We wish

that the boarders loved us enough to’

do their reading at night.

We have other trials, too. All of us
want to be ever so strong and healthy,
but our great problem is when can we
get in the prescribed hours of exer-
cise? We must have dancing, swim-
ming, hockey, tennis or other sports.
Dancing comes at night, so that is im-
possible. The morning swimming
classes conflict in a great many cases
with other classes, and the afternoon
class, from 5:30 to 6:00 o’clock, is so
late that the girls would have to go
home in the dark. Now, in this time
of terrible crime, it is quite unsafe
for a girl to be alone on the streets

PLACE OF CONSOLATION AND JOY.

PARTY IN HOME ECONOMICS
DINING ROOM.

As a mark of appreciation to Dell
Bernhardt for her work on the Sopho-
more stunt, on the night of October 13,
/a delightful surprise party was held in
her honor by the members of the Soph-
omore committee: Carrie Scandrett,
Vie Howie, Beulah Davidson, Helen
Wright, Mary Evelyn Arnold, Nancy
Evans, Margaret Powell, Mary Colley,
Wenona Peck and Cora Morton.

The home economics dining room
was transformed into a modern “Cap
and Merrie Pigtail,” and was attract-
ively decorated in biue and white, the
Sophomore class colors. The famous
Bronze Cat stood on guard in the
,center of the table and kept his eyes
and ears open to all that passed. A
| delightful supper was served, during
which toasts were proposed and songs
|were sung. The evening was a very
delightful one.

Dell Bernhardt is the author of the
|elever stunt which was presented by
the Sophomores in their contest of
wits with the Freshmen, and it was
largely through her untiring help and
enthusiasm that her class was victori-|
ous.

‘after dark. The boarders are not al-
‘lowed to be out after dark unless they
,are chaperoned. Day students do not
have chaperons. We have to go home
in the dark and all alone after stay-
ing for our swimming class, library
reading or laboratory work. Hockey
and tennis are both very well, but
when can we get them in since we
have so much library and laboratory
work which must be done in the day
time? We each need a Carnegie in
our homes.

It is not merely school work that we
find very inconveniently arranged, but
the student activities seem to belong
almost entirely to the boarders. We
enter the college every year with a
great deal of pep and enthusiasm. We
intend to take part in this, that and
various other activities, but we have
a damper cast on our fine spirits when

the meeting, try-outs, ete., are held
after supper. Day students hate those
two words more than any other in the
English “After supper.”
Last year we wanted to go on the
hikes, but the boarders’ hikes were al-

language:

most all in the late afternoon, so it
was decided that we would have our

own hikes. Now Agnes Scott has two
kinds of hikes—the boarders’ and the
day students’. Is it best to have two
of everything, so that the day students
will get their share?

This article is not meant to be a
report of “Calamity Jane,” but it is
meant to be a plea for a tiny bit more
consideration, co-operation and, most
of all, for a larger place in the heart
of Agnes Scott. We want to feel that
our college loves us as much as she
does any of her children.

Quite thoughtlessly flat on his hat,
He reposed there a while

Dear Moruer

AND ALL THE REST OF
THE “Fam”:
I've searched my dusty old mail box

for a letter till I’m sick. I’m awful

glad lots of us have. a box together, for
if it wasn’t for Jerry Goodroe’s let-

ters in my box, the spiders would
just take it over. You know I have to
depend on my family for letters, since
I haven't anybody to write to me and
begin them “My own little sweetheart”
like some girls have. Never mind, I
got a little Freshman to show me how
to write a really “bullish” letter, so
I’m going to use a copy of it for the
very first boy I write to, and then—oh,
well, we'll wait and see.

Oh, mother! I want a frat pin so
bad. If you'll get me one I'll promise
to take good care of it and nobody
will ever know that my “steady” didn’t
send it. Anna Bell Burkhead has a
good-looking new S. P. E. one, but
that’s not all she has either. She's
mighty mysterious and blushes a lot
when you mention it. So, I can’t ex-
actly understand—it’s a diamond, a
beautiful one on her left hand. She
vows her mother sent it, but that
sounds fishy, ‘cause I know there was
a Montgomery postmark on the pack-
age and her mother lives in Opelika.

A FRESHMA

But the strange part of it is that she
doesn’t like to talk about it, and if it
were mine I'd adore telling the whole
student body and faculty thrown in,

You know this is the most popular
class of Freshmen we have here—all
but me. I’ve written you about Montie
Sewell, I think. Well, she’s been so
thrilled that she hasn't been able to
think clearly for a week, because he
came through Atlanta. I think his
name is John, but that doesn’t mat-
ter what his name is. I just wish
he could have seen Montie curling her
hair and borrowing cute clothes for
him. I wag afraid she’d be a wreck
before he came for she worried herself
to death for fear that terrible rain
would ruin her curls before they ever
igot in, and also for fear she couldn't
get a whole parlor to talk in. She says
he’s terribly good looking and has a
K. A, pin, so what more could anybody
want? Did you ever hear of such luck
in all of your experienced life?

And Louise Buchanan, another
Freshman, just made my eyes green
with envy Saturday night. She was in
the stunt that night, so of course was
all vamped up, and some Emory boy
just fell like a brick for her. She just
took delight in prancing by me, all
huddled up on the banisters with my-

HIGH LIFE AT AGNES SCOTT

SENIORS PRESENT CABARET.

Perhaps some of us had dreams of
visiting a Parisian cabaret. Well,
that dream was fully realized in the
Senior cabaret in the tea room Satur-
day night. Nothing could have been
more French (unless it might be
French IT). There were charming
French waitresses, with coy smiles and
perfect French. Of course, some of
the American guests had a bit of dif-
ficulty in understanding French and
still more in trying to “polly.” For
their benefit the maids spoke English,
with a decided French accent, using
hands,
pressively. The menus were printed
in French. By skillful translation one
found that one might have ice cream,
various kinds of sundaes, sandwiches,
cakes and chocolate. If one desired a
drink, there was lemonade, ginger ale
and of course wine (made of grape-
juice).

While the guests
these delicious refreshments there ap-
peared two lovely French dancers, fa-
mous all over the land—Mlle. Ruth
Misere and Mlle. Lucie Wonten. In
their fluffy costumes these lovely
“danseuses” delighted all present by
their grace and beauty. The audience
was enthusiastic in its applause. Later
in the evening Mlle. Harriette Scot
sang a charming little French song.
Mile. Scot has been in the country only
a short while. Those students of
Agnes Scott, present at the cabaret,
were very much interested in her ex-
quisite French as well as her won-
derful voice.

Further entertainment was fur-

nished by the presentation of a light
French opera entitled, “La Chambre
Bleue.”

Come On In, the Water’s Fine

SWIMMING SCHEDULE
POSTED.

Over in gym building there’s a spot
venerable and much beloved, known by
divers names. Some (those without
due reverence) call it the bathtub.
Others, blessed with poetry and imagi-
nation, know it as the “ole swimmin’
hole,” while the catalogue tactfully
and decorously records it as “a mod-
erate sized swimming pool” (see page
—)},

The name doesn’t matter. Have you
been there lately for a dip? Have you
sneaked over, raincoated and shrink-
ing, to wiggle timid toe in the chilly
waters? Have you screamed in terri-
fied ecstacy as the shower trickled
down your spine? Then hopped into
the tub to find it not too icy, after all,
and not too deep? No? Then, there’s
a brand new thrill for you. Don't miss
it! i

Some of us have not yet acquired
the gentle art of swimming and are
loath to proclaim our abysmal ignor-
ance on subjects aquatic. This the-
ory is wrong absolutely. Miss Ran-
dolph and Miss Wilburn are holding
regular classes where the most ap-
proved strokes may be learned. So
far, sixty girls have signed up for
these lessons—a most encouraging
promise of future Annettes, or, to be
up-to-date, future Alice Lords.

As for those who are already swim-
mers, more or less proficient, but who
aspire to perfecting their “crawl,”
there will be an advance class com-
posed of only ten girls, the hours for
this class to be posted later.

You see, there’s not a_ loophole;
everything goes in for swimming this
year. The pool invites you all day
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sat-
urday. Get out the old bathing suit
and “come on in; the water’s fine!”
when you come, be sure to wear your
cap, Miss Randolph admonishes; some
young things, it appears, have overlook-
ed the fact that water wets hair, and
have splashed in uncapped—with dis-

astrous results to fluffy bobbed coif-
tures. :
Remember, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,

Fridays and Saturdays.

“AND THEN WE HAD GYM.”

The day was Tuesday, and the hour
was 11:30 and about forty Sophomore
schedules read “gymnasium.” So, ac-
cordingly, the forty Sophs filed over to |

have strolled leisurely over, but it

they did their stroll ended right at
the gym door because within the big
spacious room the whole atmosphere
was brisk and snappy and full of ac-
tion. It seemed to command every girl
to make a rapid transit change from
conventional street clothes into the
comfortable gymnastic ‘‘bloomers-and- |
middy-and-tennis shoes” costume. Nor |
was mere atmosphere the only thing)
which called for action, for in a tew
minutes Miss Wilburn’s brisk little|
whistle sounded the note, “Fall in line.
Ready for roll call. Attention!”

“Then, these brief formalities over,
the real work of the hour began—a |
work pursued with more zeal because
Miss Wilburn started off with the dip-
lomatic remark that we would have)
to prove that we could take Sopho-
more exercise. And we proved it as)
we went rapidly through all the paces
of marching—forward, to the rear, and |
in right and left columns. Next, with- |
out a moment for catching the breaths |
|we lost in double-quick running and
forming columns of fours, we were
rushed into open ranks and put
through the drill of setting-up exer-|
cises. And, neyer mind how we felt
when we jumped with feet apart and
arms extended to the sides and back
to position again in two counts like
gay little birds. We didn't have time
to think about it in the half-minute of
“in place, rest,” which we were given
before we marched out into the yard
for a game, Later, as we followed up
the exciting mysteries of “three deep,”
we lost our few remaining hairpins
and quite forgot our dignity as “stu-
dents.” It seemed less than a minute
before the bell rang for dismissal and
a hurried return to skirts and 12:30
classes.

And that was the end of the first
gym class, if one is not to» count the
‘sore limbs and muscles which mani-
fested themselves next day as some
of the minor effects of gym—but this
is confidential!

Re-Opening of the Vanity Fair
Beauty Parlor

ADDED ATTRACTION TO
CAMPUS INTERESTS.

Just to the rear of White House,
at 125 South Candler street, is a per-
fectly normal looking house. But the
cellar of that house is what makes it
more interesting than the general run
of houses. Why? No, it has nothing
in common with a still; for it is quite
a liyely place. The Vanity Fair beau-
ty parlor is located there.

In connection with it there is a gift
shop, the stock of which is small now,
but which will increase gradually. Al-
though small in numbers, the articles
are dainty and clever, and would at-
tract the eye of any sure-enough girl.
Just think what a convenience this
will be for doing Christmas shopping.
This perhaps seems to be a premature
thought, but two months from now
Christmas shopping will cease to be a
mere thought and will become a neces-
sity, which involves every one. And,
even in the living present, one may
save herself a trip to town (that is, if
she cares to do so) if she will but re-
member the gift shop.

These two combined establishments
have been open since October 3 to
all Agnes Seott students and to the fac-
ulty as well. So, any week day from
9 a. m. until 6 p. m., Miss Laura Fagen
will be glad to attend you or show
you about the beauty parlor. You will
find that the prices are reasonable,
and that the service is good. It’s just
a few steps away. Why not see for
yourself?

The prices of the beauty parlor are:

Facial massage, 75c.

Shampoo, 50c.

Curl, 35e.

Manicure, 5c.

Sealp treatment, 75c.

These prices are less than in At-
lanta, so A. S. C. can save money as
well as time by going to the Vanity
Fair Beauty Shop.

The Atlanta Student Volunteer band
held its first meeting for this year at
8:30 Sunday afternoon at Agnes Scott.
Mr. Morris Paty, the new president of
the organization, presided, and, as no
definite program for the afternoon had
been arranged, plans for the coming
Year were discussed. The chief ques-
tion brought up was whether all the
meetings should be open. No definite
decision was reached, but it is to be
hoped that these will be open.

Much enthuiasm was evident among
those present, Besides the members,
there were many visitors from both
Atlanta and Agnes Scott, who showed
their interest of the union, This year
promises to be one of inspiration and
success for the Atlanta Volunteers.

der pressure of that mother hand, Jean
is gone.

To be sure, it is not so far away,
but it is separation not distance which
counts, and looking ahead into the
year to come it seems very long and
lonely to Jean. There will be the let-
ters, though—they will help just heaps |
—and then, hadn't Tomi and Bob both
said they would see her soon? Oh,
yes, indeed! And there were the girls
from last year coming back, too, and
the new room in Rebecca Scott build-
ing to fix so daintily in pink checked
gingham draperies, and the new pen-
nants from the summer's conquests.
Just heaps of pleasures loomed up
brightly before Jean as she sped along
on her journey.

Before going very far her attention
was directed to a young girl of about
her own age, apparently, seated not
far ahead of her on the opposite side
of the chair car—an extremely attract-
ive girl she was, with large, soulful
brown eyes, dark curly hair, and a
very wistful expression. She seemed |
to be in trouble; her very posture in-
dicated sorrow, and yet she was not ill
for her cheeks glowed with a natural
color. With head bowed and eyes
downeast, she sat, trying to read, but
finding it a difficult matter. When |
the lunch hour came she took noth-
ing, only shaking her head as the por-
ter offered to bring her lunch. Then)
Jean concluded she would go over and
see if she might be of some pleasure |
or comfort. So in her own sweet way
she crossed to the other side of the
coach, looked down at the girl and
asked if she might share her seat for
awhile,

“T am so lonely and want some one
to talk to—won’t you talk awhile?”

The girl raised her eyes, looked
straight into the face of Jean and
reading therein a real sincerity and
kindness, said: “Yes, do come and
sit down. J, too, am lonely and more
than that, I’m so blue, I just don’t
know what to do.”

And soon the two girls were confid-
ing in each other as only girls of their
age can do, each unconsciously help-
ing the other by giving her experi-
ence. Here sat Grace—for that was
her name—grieving over what she was
longing for, but was compelled to give
un—a course at Agnes Scott College.
Her plans had been completed, her
father had made every financial de-
tail of the course possible, when at the
last minute everything he had was
swept away in one of those relentless

now in search of employment that she
might do her share towards bearing
the burden and expenses of the family. |

Grace's story roused a new thought
in Jean’s mind. ‘How thankful I
should be that I am going to Agnes
Scott! How glad that it is possible
for me to complete my course and}
have all my heart’s desires!” Jean
felt that life held more for her now
than she ever before realized, and
comparing her own opportunities with
those of her new acquaintance, she
resolved then and there to make every
day and hour count for something
really worth while. She would study
harder and go to town less, and try
to make good! Since hearing of

CHORAL SOCIETY AGAIN
COMING TO THE FRONT.

» Last Tuesday evening people pass-
ing through Rebekah Scott lobby were
made rather curious by a large group:
of girls swarming around the entrance
of the Propylean hall. They were ap-
parently encumbered with much trepi-
dation, symptoms of being scared to
death or other nervous afflictions.
The members of this group seemed to
disappear one at a time into the depths
of the Propylean hall, then serving!
as Mr. Johnson’s studio. Presently
they would emerge and give an enthu-
siastic report of their absence. They
had been “trying out” for the choral
society in answer to Mr. Johnson's an-
nouncement of that morning.

All the old Agnes Seotters remem-
ber the wonderful renditions of Han-
del’s Messiah, which have been given
by our choral society for the past
few years just before the holiday sea-
son, This year the “Messiah” will be
given in Agnes Scott chapel on the last

_ Sunday afternoon before we go home
for our Christmas vacation. Several
new choruses will be added to the pro-
gram for this year.

Those who are to comprise the cho-
rus: this year are as follows:

Victoria Howie, Laurie Bell Stubbs,
Margaret Mitchell, Helen Wockhart,

ner, Frances Singleterry, Annette Car-
ter, Julia Rothermel, Miss Mary Mac-
Dougall.

Besides these, men from Emory Glee
Club, Georgia Tech and the cities of,
Atlanta and Decatur will sing in the
chorus. The best soloists in the city
will be engaged to assist.

The society will meet in the chapel
every Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock
for practice under the direction of Mr.
Johnson.

K, U. B. TRYOUTS.

Some time next week there will be a
day of great interest to all would-be
journalists—K. U. B. try-outs. These
try-outs are open to all who have done
or are doing work on THe AGONISTIC,
except Seniors. As Seniors become
honorary members the second semes-
ter, it seems best that girls should not
be taken in at the beginning of their
Senior year. Freshmen who report on
Turn Aconistic are eligible for mem-
bership.

The try-outs will consist of two
parts: One subject assigned to be
written up as if for the town paper,
and one subject chosen by the appli-
cant for membership and written in
the same way. All subjects will, of
course, be campus events.

In considering the try-outs, the abil-
ity to write a news article will be the
main qualification for membership, but
the applicant’s general attitude toward
campus activities, and evidence of
having the best interest of the col-
lege at heart, will also be taken, into
consideration.

CLEANED OUT.
“Hi there, sir!’ shouted a-Florida,

FIRE FIGHTERS: OF A. S. C.”

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE.

“What on earth is the matter with
that girl over in the corner of the li-
brary, sitting with a book in her hand,
but staring fixedly into space and her
lips moving in some heathen incanta-
tion?” No, she is not a candidate for
Milledgeville, but for Blackfriars!
She really isn’t as crazy as she may
look, but on the contrary she has
shown her good sense and has decided
to try out for Blackfriars. The book
in her hand may be a copy of any-
thing from Shakespeare to Sheridan,
for the selections assigned for try-outs
are of wide range.

All during the week previous to
try-outs, one hears from fourth floor
Main, the wails of many frantic Juli-
ets, while from the basement of the
library come the sounds of as many

Mrs. Malaprops, proclaiming in loud
voice, “These, my dear, are the perpen-
diculars of a good education.”

Of course, all of the Juliets and Mrs.
Malaprops do not always find them-
selves on the Blackfriar stage, but
some of them do, so there is always
the incentive to at least try for “noth-
ing risked, nothing gained.” And a
lot is to be gained by trying real hard
—hard enough to be accepted, for, oh,
what fun it is to be a Blackfriar!
After the try-out comes the annual
banquet in early December, and then
there are three plays given regularly
every year, the culmination of artistic
effort coming in May; when the annual
spring play is given on Dr. Gaines’
lawn. It is the ambition of every
Blackfriar to take part in this play,
for it is the largest production of the
year and crowds of people from At-
lanta and Decatur attend. This play
is Blackfriars’ annual contribution to
the festivities of commencement week.

How does one get into all this?
Try-outs, is the answer. These try-
outs are held at the beginning of each
semester, the first being limited to old
girls, and the mid-winter try-out in-
cluding the new girls. The number of
girls accepted is necessarily limited,
but the number of times the rest are
allowed to try out is indefinite, so the
disappointed ones need not feel that
their lives are blighted forever, so that
“if at first you don’t succeed, try, try
again.”

NEW GIRLS.

It will be of interest to the girls te

‘JUNIORS FURNISH ENTER.
TAINMENT FOR COLLEGE
COMMUNITY.

Never before in the history of the
| college has Agnes Scott enjoyed such
'a thrilling movie spectacle as that of-
‘fered by the Juniors last Saturday
night. Anyone in doubt about the
sweeping success of the Junior Palatial
theater can observe for himself that
the Victory theater in Decatur has
been forced out of business.

etc., tival those in Atlanta’s largest
theater; and in one important respect
the Junior Palatial theater surpasses
its closest rivals: that is in respect

flashed on the screen, they have hit
upon the happy plan of having a sto-
ry-teller to sit out in front and explain
the picture as the plot unfolds. This
eliminates the irksome necessity of
reading the captions aloud to the chil-
dren, and also spares fastidious spec-
tators the pain of hearing those around
them read aloud.

The program of the de luxe perfor-
mance Saturday night was as follows:
Overture, Agnes Scott orchestra.
Advertisements.

Pithy news items. :
Personal appearance of Dere Hart.
Close-ups of stars.

Musie, Agnes Scott Jazz orchestra.
Dere Hart, spectacular screen sensa-
tion, with an all-star cast.

The first scene is a street in a
Western town. Fiendish Flannigan,
‘alias Dere Hart, terrorizes the peace-
!ful inhabitants continually because the
fact that he has never succeeded in
rolling a cigarette with his left hand
riles his temper uncontrollably. In the
Bueket-of-Blood saloon, he encounters
Pedro, the half-breed, who quails be-
fore him and his threats. Uneeda
Nabisco, who loves Pedro, asks the
| hypnotist, Hammurabbi, how she can
free her lover from the foul dominance
of Fiendish Flannigan. He fails to
|help her, and Fiendish, discovering the
| plot, shoots the hypnotist. Uneeda
land Pedro consult the Ouija board
| then. Ouija tells them to find the
iright girl for Fiendish—a shy, unso-
| phisticated little country girl. Pedro
|undertakes the quest. Eventually he
finds Giddy Gush and takes her back
|with him. They arrive just as the
| general massacre which Fiendish has
|announced is about to start. Fiendish
| falls immediately and forgets to carry
lout his plan. Giddy adroitly rolls his
| cigarette with her left hand and pre-
sents it to him with the warning,
“Don’t roll your own.” And Fiendish,
|now called Dere Hart, and Giddy, and
|/Pedro and Uneeda all lived happily.
The all-star cast included:

October’s Calkaier in Brief

MANY EVENTS SCHEDULED
FOR THE MONTH.

There are many treats in store for
us during the remainder of October.
Tt seems as though wonderful things
are always happening at Agnes Scott,
but when the Juniors plan a stunt, the
grandmothers’ party, there is to be a
Baron from Russia and the Dean of
Smith College, we feel that October
must be the most wonderful month of
the year.

The Juniors have asked f
day evening, the 15th, and hh
given full possession of it.
the Junior class is a work
they constantly have in m
derful spring that com ‘
Junior's life. They are planning now
to have a real, live W. S. Hart produc-
tion right here in the chapel. Every-
thing is to be truly western, even to
the tieket collectors and ushers. Of
course, it is a W. S. Hart production,
but we may recognize some of our
friends, the Juniors, in the all-star
east. We'll forget all that, though, and
read the “reading part” when borne on
the backs of some of our friends.

Then the grandmothers’ party is to
be October 22nd, and it bids fair to
be:one of the most delightful events of
a Freshman’s life. The gym is turned
into a veritable grandmother-land,
where all the grandmothers carry pep-
permints in the pockets of their white
aprons and wear tiny white curls be-
neath a white lace cap. This land
abounds in pink lemonade and sugar
cookies, but the bad part is that wise
grandmother is careful to see that
granddaughter does not make herself
sick on the “goodies.” But the
strange part of it is that these grand-
mothers can dance almost as well as
their grandchildren and do engage in
this amusement.

Baron Korff, of Russia, is to be here
and make a speech under the auspices
of the International Relations Club.
He was governor-genera] of Finland
before the collapse of the Russian gov-
ernment. He has delivered lectures
everywhere in America on the almost
intangible situation in Russia. Tt is
interesting for us to note that he be-
longed to the liberal party. He has
been quite distinguished since his stay
in America, by being made chairman
at the meeting of the American Histor-
ical Association. which met in Wash-
ington. The whole college community
is cordially invited to hear Baron Korff
on the 28th.

Dean Comstock, of Smith, is to be
hereon the 3ist. She comes by svecial
invitation from Dr. Gaines. She is to
speak at Founders’ Day exercises of
Sweet Briar and then will visit a few
of the leading Southern colleges. We
do not as yet know what the subject of
her lecture will be, but we can be sure
it will bé one of vital import to all
college women. We should count it in-
deed a privilege to entertain so hon-
ored a person as Dean Comstock.

AGGIE SINGS.

From the windows, doors and cracks

in the floor of fourth floor Main at

all times of the day and part of the
night issue forth many ah-ahings, oh-
ohings,
which make Aggie think quite often

that there must be much “agonizing”
6n that high altitude. But if you go to
church in Atlanta on Sundays you will
in all probability decide that there is
a reason; for Atlanta recognizes the
fact that there is talent at A. S. C.,
and that Mr. Johnson, head of the vocal
department, and Miss Curry, his able
assistant, are faithfully training that
talent in the best possible way. Should
you desire to see or hear for yourself
(if you -are from Missouri, so to
speak), there are several churches
At All
Saints will be found our own Miss
Curry as contralto soloist, with Miss
Goodwin and Katherine Wharton as
members of the choir. At St. Phillips’
Cathedral you will see many familiar
faces, among whom are Nell Esslinger
Nell comes from
Ponce de Leon Baptist, where she has
been soloist. And Olivia Liebheit, Car-
olyn Moody and Ruth Pirkle as mem-
bers of the contralto portion of the
choir. Lillian MeAlpin, as soprano so-
loist, and Frances Gilliland as con-
tralto soloist have been singing with
Hattie May Finney, a former organ
student of Mr. Dieckman’s, but they
will soon make a valuable addition to
St, Phillips’ choir. If you go to Deca-
tur Presbyterian you will find Bilza-
beth Lockhart as contralto soloist.

It is to Mr. Johnson that we must
take off our hats and wave our hand-
kerchiefs, for it is he who acts both
as patient teacher and publicity mana-
ger of our vocal department. The
girls who sing should thank Mr. John-
son indeed for the good opportunities
that he makes it possible for them to
accept and. the college community
should appreciate these efforts of Mr.
Johnson and the vocal department. At
present he is tenor soloist at North
Avenue Presbyterian church.

Rose Harwood, an old A. 8. C. girl,
is showing her appreciation of our vo-
cal department by returning for a few
weeks to review her vocal and increase
her repertoire.

CHURCH AFFILIATION.

Last Sunday night at Y. W., every-
body was given a chance to sign up for
a church home. Most of the new girls
have perhaps felt a little strange on
Sunday morning when the time for
church came, because they didn’t. feel
like they “belonged” in any of the
churches; when they went in, all the
faces were strange and there was no
family pew in which to find refuge.
Well, that is just the reason we want

to decide upon a certain church to call
our own while we are here, so that
the feeling of strangeness will wear off
and we will feel as much at home as
we do in our real home.

BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS

Of course, we would hardly want
to move our membership just for the
part of four years that we are here,
but the Y. W. C. A. has devised a

| plan by which we can “belong” to both

churches. That is, we can decide,
after visiting at all the different
churehes, which one we like best;
then we sign up (as we did Sunday
night) for the one we want to affiliate
with. The lists of girls affiliating with
each church are sent to the different
pastors, and they and the ladies of the
church do all in their power to meet
and know us, and make us feel wel-
come to worship with them.

Sarah Till is the chairman of the
church affiliation committee this year

‘WARE FIRE!

WE ARE PREPARED FOR ALL
EMERGENCIES,

Have you ever waked up with a
start in the middle of the coldest kind
of a winter night and heard the ear-
splitting clanging of an awful sound-
ing bell? If you are a new girl, you
probably have not, but just watch out,
because you soon will. Most any old
girl can be heard saying, “O, a fire
drill!” “What in the world did she!
give one tonight for?” “She surely
picked out the coldest night this win-
ter.” “I had just gone to sleep.”
“She knows that I have a test tomor-
row and need to sleep.”

Yes, the captain in every building
probably knows all these things, but
the fire drill has to come just the
same, and every single girl has to jump.
out of bed, grab a wet towel and fly
down stairs in the pitch black dark,
falling over every trunk in the hall.

These things may seem useless, but
if we stop to think about it, we real-
ize that they are among the most im-

cess.

During the intermission, Ruth Kei-
ser gave a beautiful solo dance. Every-
one always enjoys Ruth’s dances, and
she was encored several times.

Each Cotillion Club member was
privileged to bring one guest. Those
dancing were:

Quenelle Harrold with Evelyn King.

Charlotte Keesler with Elizabeth
Malloy.

Wenona Peck with Augusta Thomas.

Luey Oliver with Hall McDougall.

Elizabeth Ransom with Mary Evelyn

The Pithy News items showed Mr.
Starr signing the contract not to blow
the whistle at quarter of ten because
it wakes up the citizens of Decatur;
also John D. Rockefeller offering the
Junior class a million dollars, which,
however, they refuse, saying they pre-
fer to make their own money selling
peanuts and candy; also, the rush to
meals, and Freshman-Sophomore week

portant things that we have to do here
lat school. We have always heard that
“an ounce of prevention is worth a)
pound of cure.” and this is certainly
true in case of fire drills. Dr. Gaines’
has always tried to impress upon us
the fact that fire drills are not merely
for the sake of drills, but are preven-
tives. Think what it would mean to
us if we really did have a fire, to be
able to get out of the building quiet-
ly, in an orderly way and quickly.
Much time and probably many lives
would be saved, whereas if everybody
rushed frantically down stairs and out,
there is no telling what might be the

result.

In order to carry on these drills, it
is necessary to have leaders. Eunice
Dean is fire chief this year and elec-
‘tions of fire captains of the various
| buildings will be held some time this
week, and it may be interesting to the
new girls to know that this will be!
the first election in which they will
take part.

As soon as the captains of the va-
‘rious buildings are elected, and the
lieutenants of the various wings and
members of the bucket brigades are
appointed, fire drills will begin. There
will be one every week for six weeks
and after that one every month. The
lights in the halls will -be turned off,
but all lieutenants will have flashlights
and anybody else who has one may use
it.

It is absolutely necessary that every
girl be present with a wet towel at
every fire drill. Knocks will be given
for failure to have wet towels and re-
striction is the penalty for absence.
Every girl should feel personally re-
sponsible for the carrying out of all
regulations because fire drills concern
each and every one of us; any failure
to comply with all regulations might,
in case of fire, mean the loss of many
lives. Housekeepers of various build-

ings have called attention to the fact
that trunks, boxes, chairs or any other
obstructions must not be placed in
‘front of windows leading to fire es-
capes. This is a precaution that must
be observed in every building.

Realizing the importance of fire
drills and remembering that “an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure,” let us all work together this
year to make them as fast as possible,
yet quiet and orderly.

We hope that the cracking of bones,
as heard on the hockey field, will not
disturb the infirmary quiet.

and she and her committee planned a
very interesting program for Sunday
night. With Miss Wilburn as leader,
it goes without saying that the meet-
ing was thoroughly enjoyed. The
young people from all the churches in
Decatur were invited to meet with us
and we are hoping that we may be-
come acquainted with them through
the various churches this year.

For all those who did not sign up
for a church home last Sunday night,
another chance will be given soon, some
morning after chapel, and everyone is
urged to take advantage of the op-
portunity to become affiliated with one
of the churches either in Decatur or
Atlanta.

EXCHANGES.
Something that is of interest to the

Southern colleges is the fact that of
the one hundred and sixty Chinese stu-
dents who have arrived in the United
States recently to continue their edu-
cation with money secured from the
Boxer indemnity fund, forty are young

women, according to the Southern
Methodist Mission Board.—The Sun
Dial,

Rhodes scholars will be appointed
by 32 States, including Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and
Mississippi, December 3, to take up
residence at Oxford University, in Oc-
tober, 1922. All applications, testimo-
nials, references, etc., must be in the
hands of the respective State commit-
tees before October 29, It is practically
useless for under-graduates to apply
for appointment.

Young alumna under 25 years of
age, who are doing graduate or pro-
fessional study, or are engaged in
teaching or are pursuing other intel-
lectual pursuits, are the most likely
candidates. Judging from past obser-
vation, we should say that an athletic
record and gifts for social leadership,
along with scholastic and literary at-
tainments, are essential for appoint-
ment. The scholarships pay 350 pounds
sterling annually, and the appointment
is for three years. Almost any line of
study may be pursued with advantage.

Any alumna identified with any of
the above named States who wish to

apply should communicate at once

with Prof. Thos. W. Lingle, who will
aid them in any possible way.—The
Davidsonian.

We feel that Randolph-Macon tn|
the following article has given a sug-!
gestion that we might apply to our-
selyes, and try not to be too “Agnes
Scottish” in our views.

Heretofore, there has been a decided
tendency to become too Randolph-Ma-
conish by neglecting the affairs in the}
outside world. Suggestions were made.
that the old girls should take the lead)
in influencing the Freshmen to keep
themselves posted on current events by
frequenting the reading rooms and
subscribing to the college paper and
magazine to gain a knowledge of other
collegiate activities. Then, too, there
are organizations in the college, such
as the International Relations Club,
whose purpose it is to discuss and ex-
plain all affairs of moment to the!
members.—The Sun Dial.

Pretty Niece (blushing): “Auntie,
what would you do if you learned that
a young man was inquiring secretly
about your ability to cook?”

Wise Aunt: “I would immediately
inquire as to his ability to provide
things to cook."—The Mississippian.

COZY FIRE IN THE CABINET

ROOM.
On Wednesday, October twelfth, the

entire college community was cordially
invited to be the guests of the publi-
cation committee of the Y. W. C. A. at
“five-thirty o’clock” in the cabinet
room. To a great many of the new
girls the name “publication commit-
tee’ sounded impressive and the “cabi-
net room” unfamiliar, but Mary
Greene made the invitation in chapel
so appealing, with the description of
an open fire and a cup of tea, that at
five-thirty the guests came thick and
fast.

But perhaps you were one of those
unfortunate persons who couldn’t go
and therefore didn’t learn about the
publication committee and the cabinet
room.

The cabinet room is on the left of
the entrance to the two halls of the lit-
erary societies. It is a room set apart
—school nor studies ever enter its
doors. Therefore, it is home-like.
There are big, easy chairs, a lounge
and a beautiful lamp. The pillows ga-
lore and the bright fire give the last
touches needed to drive away the
“homesick blues.”

The publication committee has
charge of this room and keeps the ta-
bie supplied nut oniy with the current
magazines, but all the denominational
papers and the Association Monthly.

The sincerest wish of this committee
is for each girl to make the cabinet
room her “happy room.” There will
be a fire there every night just right
to toast marshmallows over from 9:30
till the lights go out. The room will
be especially delightful on Sundays.

Every girl who was able to accept
the invitation of the publication com-
mittee, everyone who partook of the
tea and crackers and enjoyed the
blazing open fire, will testify to the
“homey” feeling she carried away with
her.

I haven't had a moment to be home-

must be awful clever, for they just

made us feel like we were at a real

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS

VERY LARGE | ATTENDANCE
THIS YEAR,

Dr. Gaines says that this year’s
Sunday school at A. S. C. is the best
ever. And Miss Randolph, the super-
intendent, is a most inspiring and en-
thusiastie leader,

The Freshmen have the choice of
the international Sunday school les-
sons taught by Beth McClure in Miss
Curry's studio, and Emily Guille in the
little parlor in Main; or, of the
“Principles of Christianity as Ap-
plied to Everyday Living,” taught
by Josephine Logan in Propylean hall,
jand by Lucia Murchison, LBloise
Knight and Pearl Smith in their own
rooms.

To the Sophomores is offered the
very helpful course presented in Har-
rison Elliott’s book, “How Jesus Met
Life Problems.” There is one class
taught by Ruth Hall which meets in
the large parlor of Main, and another
taught by Janef Preston which meets
/in Mr. Dieckman’s studio.

NATURE’S TRUTHS.
} By Laura Kirxewoop PLuMn.
Daffodils are not daffy,
Crocuses do not croak,
The weeping willow sheds no tears,
The smokebush does not smoke.

The catnip has not a bite,
The dogwood has no fleas,

The sycamore seems real well,
The snowball does not freeze.

The snapdragon has no snap,
The bleeding heart no gore,
The Four O'clock has no watch,

| Tiger lilies can’t roar.

The ragweed can never jazz,
The best ferns make a brake,

So why be true to Nature
When she is such a fake?

HIKES A L’INDIVIDUELLE. | HOCKEY TEAMS SELECTED.

Have you heard the good news from
the athletic pleasure-recreation de-
partment? No? Then you are miss-
ing something exciting, for the news
concerns a thrilling new privilege for

all numeral-aspiring “hikers’—and
this special privilege is individual
hikes. Can you imagine taking a

hike all by yourself or with just your
best friend, and having it count to-
ward a numeral? Well, that is just
what can happen on as many as three
hikes out of the eight required. Five
hikes must be taken with the class
group, but that still leaves three which
may be taken, if you wish, at any time
you want to go and with whomeyer
you want to go, There is the time
and the company at your pleasure,
The only thing limited is the place—
and there is even a range of choice
in this. You may decide whether you
wish to walk:

From Decatur to Atlanta.

From Atlanta to Decatur.

From Decatur to Stone Mountain,

From Stone Mountain to Decatur.

From Decatur to East Lake and
back.

From Decatur to Druid Hills Golf
Club and back.

So, when you have your destina-
tidén picked out and your compan-
ion(s) collected at the proper setting-
out place at the proper time, you will
be quite ready to explore the trail of

an individual hike. And you can
travel quite untroubled without
having to make frantic ef-
forts to keep up with the fiy-

ing steps of certain energetic girls
who seem to always be miles ahead;
or being bothered over the necessity of
reaching your destination not less than
five minutes later than the main body
of hikers, so that your hike will
“count.” You may proceed at leisure,

you may rest by the roadside, you may |
talk of the “grand rush” you had at
the a dance, or how your newest

tovhager: nthe you «

There, honorable ters: you are
presented with the privilege of indi-
vidual hikes: ‘Test out their joys for

tober seventh, it would seem that no
other hour ig so convenient. One hun-
dred and fifty girls came pouring from
Inman, Rebekah and Main when the
sun was just daring to show his daz-
zling countenance. Yawning was
rather prevalent till Nannie said
“Let’s go.’ Then we started out the
front gate at a speed that made even
the sleepiest wake up and take no-
tice.

Morning air, combined with exercise,
has an astonishing effect on all healthy
college girls. Nobody dreamed ot
missing breakfast, and as the hikers
came back in view of the college, their
minds with one accord flew to the din-
ing room. Presently the welcome bell
rang out, and anyone late to that meal
found little left.

We are all hoping for another be-
fore-breakfast hike, for besides just ex-
ercise, there is always an added spice.
They say that some, thinking it was
hike time, arose near midnight when
girls were returning from the concert.
It is even rumored about one Rebekah |
Scotter that so many girls left early
Friday morning that she was afraid to
stay in that big, empty dormitory by
herself for fear of hob-goblins!

“Anybody got any dry-cleaning for the

course, their purpose is just for the}
A. S. girls to have their dear old

DAY STUDENTS ALWAYS
ACTIVE,

Day student activities of the past
week are varied and of particular in-
terest. They include the beautifying
of the day students’ room in the li-
brary basement, and a hike to Hast

body.”

A disaster occurred,

pleasant, chummy spot. But rumor
tells of the welcome addition of a new
divan cover, further pennants and

will lend their home-like note of color.
From all indications, the day students’

INDUSTRIAL
GIRLS’ ISSUE

Vol. VII

INDUSTRIAL GIRLS VS.
COLLEGE STUDENTS

STUNT EXPLAINS BOTH
VIEWPOINTS.

Last week the Y. W. C. A. put ona
campaign among the students to
stimulate interest in the situation
among industrial girls and to formu-
late plans for co-operation. between
them and the college girls. In our
world of student activities and in-
terests we become so absorbed in
our own problems that we are apt to
forget that each girl who goes to col-
lege is responsible for five hundred
others who are not so fortunate. The
Y. W. Cc. A. is at present trying to
get the students and industrial girls
together, so that each can see the
other's difficulties and in some way
do her part toward lessening these
difficulties.

Various plans for enlisting. the in-
terest of the students were put for-
ward during the week, On Wednes-
_day night at the regular Open Forum
meeting the “devil’s advocate” method

was used and proved very successful. |

On Friday night an original stunt was

presented by the girls on the under-|

graduate representatives committee.
The stunt featured two college girls
and a factory girl, each with her own
particular problem. The college girls
were quite convinced that no one in
the world worked any harder than
they did. One of them was making
an investigation of industrial condi-
tions, and in an interview with a fac-
tory girl, she was soon disallusioned
as to the fact that the college girl's
lite was harder. She had never con-
( conditions of the
nac thought only of
@ factory “as Heine”
e did she think
of little brothers
dl e dependent upon
the earnings of a frail stoop-shoulder-
ed girl scarcely over the child-labor
age requirement.

During this interview each was
brought to see the viewpoint of the
other and the factory girl also saw
that the college girl's life was not
quite such an easy one as she had
imagined while she was toiling away
in a sweat shop. The result of the
interview was the devising of a
scheme whereby the students and in-
dustrial girls could meet on intimate
terms and become acquainted with
each other. Hikes and picnics were
arranged and also more serious meet-
ings where problems relating to acti-
vities of each were brought up for
discussion and possible solution.
Meeting on a common ground it was
easier to see both sides of the ques-
tions that have hitherto caused much
unjust feeling between both classes
of people. Co-operation is the great
need in dealing with industry and the
need is for college women to be broad
enough to catch the viewpoint of the
ignorant girl in the factory.

‘‘PIN MONEY FOR PHOTO-
GRAPHS.”’

In order to get a wide distribution
of snap-shots for the Silhouette the
Silhouette is putting on a contest
which will enable this to be done.
Five dollars is to be awarded to the
person who submits the greatest num-
ber of kodak pictures suitable for
publication in the Silhouette. The
contest closes with the Christmas holi-
days and up to that time pictures of
all kinds may be turned in. There is
no limit to the. number of pictures
each person can hand in but the fol-
lowing rules must be carried out:

(1) Inclose the picture and nega-
tive in an enyelope.

(2) The name of the person must
be written on the back of the picture.
If the picture is accepted, it will be
returned and the negative kept for
print, otherwise both the picture and
negative will be returned to the own-
er. There is no restriction to the
type of the pictures and it is hoped
that there will be a large collection.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1921

GRANDMOTHERS’

PARTY,

INDUSTRIAL GIRLS’ RALLY.

On Wednesday evening, October 26,
at the Atlanta Y. W. ©. A,, there will
be a big rally of the Industrial girls’
clubs of the city association. A deli-
cious supper is to be served at thirty-
five cents a plate, and eaca club will
have its own table.

The various clubs will give yells
and songs and the whole meeting will

be characterized by “Pep.” Miss
Lumpkin, the student secretary of the
South Atlantic field, beloved by the
industrial as well as the college girls,
will lead the singing.

A very great honor Age privilege
S pee extended to Abwes scuce)
girls in an invitation from the indus-
trial girls to us to come and be pre-
sent, and even take part in their
rally. The Industrial girls want about
thirty of the Agnes Scott girls to come
Wednesday night, have supper with
them, give some yells and songs, and
a stunt too, maybe.

The idea of the rally is just a gen-
the different
Y. W. Cc. A. clubs for girls in the
industrial world. Incidentally, this
is a good opportunity for industrial
girls and college girls to get together,
too, and become acquainted, and what
is more conducive to a universal feel-
ing of good fellowship than singing
together and yelling tqagether, and
doing all the other things that a rally
implies.

Let’s make the most of this op-
portunity and have our full “quota”
of thirty “Hottentots” there with their
biggest smiles and best yelling-voices
in full working order.

THE LIBRARY DOES ITS BIT.

Books On The Industrial Prob-
lems.

If you are at all interested in in-

dustrial problems, you have perhaps |
often wondered whether the library
contains any books on the subject and
what they are, Or have you casually
accepted conditions as they are, with-
out making an effort to understand
what brought about these conditions,
and how they may be remedied? In
any case, it would be greatly to your
profit, as well as of much interest, to
look over some of the books and
magazines in the library that deal
industrial problems. And _ be-

ity it will give you to have some real
information on the subject, and to
be able to bestow it upon your less |
intellectual and energetic sisters
with a proud and pitying smile!

The reference books for industrial
problems offer a varied selection of

|subjects, so that, whatever aspect of

the question interests you, you are
gure to find something about it, The
books give information about anything
you will possibly want to know about
industrial questions,——working condi-
tions, strikes, the workers’ attitude
towards work, towards his employers,

(Continued on page 3). |

CONFERENCES HELD BY STU-
DENTS AND INDUSTRIAL
GIRLS.

In considering the two groups of
girls, the student and the industrial
girl, the first question which each
might put to the other with aptitude
might be “and how may I understand
you better?”

That we hadn’t understood each
other before, any college girl will
clearly see when she is told that the
industrial girl had an idea that the
student never worked. With “De
Senectude” waving a taunting hand at
us, with trigonometry and calculus,
French, Greek and Anglo-Saxon all
staring us in the face until we scarce-
15: myytnes a
that assertion with a feeble “if you
don’t believe it, try it and see.’

And so, at the conference in New
York last year, which Charlotte Bell
attended as our undergraduate re-
presentative, they did “try and see.”
At the same time that the college con-
ference was held, an industrial con-
ference was geing on. The two con-
ferences availed themselves of this
opportunity to hold joint-meetings at
which they discussed points which
were found to be common with both
groups. These subjects were “work,”
“education” and “health,” and much
was done in these meetings to create
a sympathetic attitude toward both
groups because there they discovered
that they were all “just girls.”

This conference was a sort of in-
troduction, and carried with it an in-
vitation from Blue Ridge to the In-
dustrial girls to send representatives
to the conference there given by stu-
dents. Here acquaintance grew into
friendship and the Y. W. C, A. made
resolutions, and these resolutions
are being carried out now, very
thoroughly and _ effectively. The
were, briefly, something like this: In
each association an important phase
of the work would be a closer co-
operation with the Industrial girls.
And this was to be brought about. by
sending delegates to conferences, by
personal contact with Industrial girls
in cities where there were colleges,
and by an active interest in the work-
ers’ educational movement,

Later, at the Industrial conference
held at Brevard, these resolutions
were accepted enthusiastically. At
conference the students had five re-
presentatives who came from Hollins,
West Hampton, Winthrop, Wesleyan
and Agnes Scott, Ruth Scandrett was
our representative and she is intensely
enthusiastic on the subject of the In-
dustrial girl,

At this conference, a Student-In-
dustrial night was held, during which
the college girls portrayed to the best
of their ability what happened in an
average college day, and from all
reports it must have been one of those
thoroughly exciting stimulating kinds
of days!

BRYN MAWR COLLEGE

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR IN-
DUSTRIAL GIRLS,

Away up in Pennsylvania, there is
a school that is doing wonderful work
for industrial women. Many of us
know very little or nothing of the
summer course that this school offers
these women.

The object of the school is to offer
young women of character and ability
a special education and an opportunity
to study liberal subjects, in order that
they may widen their influence in
|the industrial world, help in coming
recoustrucuon, ard increa

lives.

for women workers in industry will
demonstrate in a concrete way that
educational movements among work-
ers in this country and abroad may
be carried still further and may be
developed into systematic intellectual
work through courses of study pur-
sued for a number of consecutive
weeks in academic
beauty and under the same favorable
conditions of complete freedom from
economic anxiety and domestic care
which conditions college students en-
joy.

This work began in Great Britain
and of course has developed most
fully, The experiences of these schools
of Great Britain are especially help-
ful to our American schools. Many of
the colleges open their doors to these
students for several weeks each sum-
mer.

In America this work was begun,
in 1903, but was not carried out in
an active way until 1918, when it was
taken up by various trade unions.

It is to this great movement that
Bryn Mawr College has offered use of
buildings and grounds for eight weeks
in the summer, The administrative
committee is formed of representa-
tives of the directors, faculty, and
alumna of the college and representa-
tives of the industries of women work-
ers.

Of those who come to this school
only a common school education is
required. No one is admitted under
eighteen and preference is given to
those between twenty and thirty-five.

The courses are lectures of students
of the college and will be on those
topics requested by the summer stu-
dents. These courses are those that
will enable the student to comprehend
more clearly the industrial world and
its problems, help her to take her
place in the social and political world
and become a better voter. Another
group is one that is planned to en-
rich the personal life and add culture
and better understanding of the
world. Of course the recreation is
not left out for there are tutors for
this purpose.

Last year there were six students
from the South Atlantic field, who at-
tended this school. Among these

you can wear that impossible piece of

if it were especially designed for you,
‘that is the kind of girl we want to

you are in Kress’s buying that paper
of pins how graciously and quickly
your wants are filled, and then go
back there in the evening, and you'll
find that you do not get the same en-
thusiastic service. If you handed

out papers of pins for ten solid hours
and stood up those ten hours you
would. certainly be

Well, what are we going to do about

tcp us,

In the first place, how would you
like to go into Atlanta some evening
and get a good supper at the Y. W.
Cc. A. and then go to some of the
clubs the girls are leading for them-
selves? It would be a revelation to
llearn how they go about their Y. W.

Cc. A. work when we are so prone to
think in terms of our own local or-
ganization.

Then the leaders in Atlanta are hop-
ing we can agree upon a time when
as many industrial girls as possible
can come out for some of our hikes.
They are skilled campers and could
show us how to roast wieners to per-
fection. It would also increase our
repertoire very greatly to learn some
of others’ club songs as we “tramp
along the dusty road” munching ap-
ples.

These are some of the easy ways
we can learn to know girls we'd prob-
jably never have the opportunity of
knowing otherwise. They can tell you
the inner workings of things that
never would occur to you, how the
little paper cups that are around every
piece of Nunnally’s you eat are made,
and how the boxing is done. It
would be a kind of recreational soci-
ology we'd be getting.

And for those who are more high-
brow or have time for a good dis-
cussional group on “The Christian
Woman in Industry” can go in once a
month, get a good supper at the Y,
W. @. A., and then have an interest-
ing hour really learning some definite
things about the work of a girl in
industry.

Perhaps some of us feel that we
won’t have time to do any definite
work because of our load of care, but
we can be at least intelligent observers
and meet the industrial girl half way
as we see her in our every-day asso-
ciations,

OUR NATIONAL Y. W. C. A.
We have all of us heard at different
times that the college Y. W. C. A. was
not a separate and independent or-
ganization, but that it was merely a
local branch of a far larger organiza-
tion,—the National Y. W. C. A.
Perhaps, since we have received this

assurance we feel a pardonable desire
to know just what the rest of our

“family” is like.

And it is one big family, this Y. W.
C. A. organization. So, just to be
sure that we know ourselves, a brief
sketch of what the National Y. W.
C. A. is, is to be given here.

In the year 1906, there were two
national organizations, the Interna-
tional Board of Women’s Christian
Associations, and the American Com-
mittee, under which last the college
group came.

Both groups felt that unity ought
to be brought about in some way, and
so at the Manhattan conference, with
Miss Grace H. Dodge as presiding offi-
cer, a commission was appointed to
work for a united movement. As a
result, in December 1906, the Young
Women’s Christian Association of the
United States of America was formed;
and a National Board, consisting of
thirty members, representing each of
the different groups, was elected to

act as executive of the Y. W. C. A./tion is the basis of real oneness of
between conventions.

which they have neither time nor op-

a deeper spiritual life.

These clubs are held at the Y. W.

girls work has a room in which the

workers, press feeders, telephone

woman's club. At the head of the
club there is some social worker,

whose chief attributes must be sym-
pathy and tact, and whose work con-
sists in leading the girls towards self-
development and self-realization. Club
meetings are held monthly, are con-
ducted by the girls, and include in-
spirational, educational and _ social
programs. The club leader plans the
meetings in conjunction with the pres-
ident, who presides at the meetings.
The programs are carried out by
chairmen appointed by the president.
Each club does some social service,
and besides this, they have study
courses which include: millinery,
cooking, sewing, dramatics, Bible.

yelope which also contains the names
of five boys, the word “stranger” and
the dreadful epithet “old maid’’—on
seven separate slips of paper? Every

fate. A big mob in Main and Rebekah
are trying their fortunes this way and
it’s very exciting! Every day at
breakfast the romantic ones compare
notes and great are the sighs of re-
lief when “old maid” or some un-
desirable youth has been eliminated.
Sometimes the girl’s “true love” is
among the first to be pulled out and
then great are the tears thereof!—

the new girls let us say that Polly
Stone was a member of last year’s
Sophomore class and she was assis-

Everybody loved her and a proof of
their undying affection was given by
the Junior class at their stunt Satur-
day night when they sent her—as a
present from the Junior class—a nice

big piece of “chocolate.”

We are always glad when the old
girls visit us and we were especially
glad to have Polly. We're sorry she
isn’t with tis all the time, but since
she isn’t, we're glad to have her for

we enjoyed having her.

PRIZE-WINNING SONGS OF
Y. W. C. A.

The first of the following poems was
written by a Bryn Mawr girl and re-
ceived first place in a song contest of
the Northern colleges. It has. been
adopted by the National Y. W. C. A.
Association, and was sung at all Blue
Ridge conferences last summer. The
second poem was written by one of our
own girls, Janef Preston. Music for
it was composed by Ruth Pirkle. We
are proud to know that this poem
won second place in a song contest
in which all Southeérti*¢olleges took
part.

FOLLOW THE GLEAM.

Keeping watch on the mountain

And a voice through the waiting
night.

Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the chalice that is the Grail.
And we who would serve the King
And loyally Him obey,
In the consecrate silence know
That the challenge still holds to-
day.
Follow, follow, follow the gleam,
Standard. of worth o’er all the earth
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the light that shall bring the
dawn.

The following is Janef Preston’s
song: HY

God of the mountains eternal,
Lord of the wind-swept height,
cComrad of mist on the mountain,
Dawn and the starry night,
Give to us of Thy wideness
That we in heart may be
Atuned to Thy ancient beauty,
Quiet and strong and free.

God of our glorious youth,
Lord of our high desire,
Giver of life and truth,
Flame of our hidden fire,
Give to us of Thy patience,

FROM SYMPHONY TO JAZZ.

Have you heard it? Have you seen
it? Oh, the bunch that plays every-
thing from “Mon Honme” to Mendels-
solin’s “songs without words.” It's a
combination Jazz Band and Symphony
Orchestra (not exactly the Cincinnati
variety, however) and the latest addi-
tion to A. S. ©. along musical lines.

ivery one in it is full to the brim of
aiusic and pep. The object of this
famous organization is to drive away
the blues on week days, and give the
eollege community a little taste of
the old masters on Sunday evenings
(of course you remember the “violin
solo”).

Director Evans holds a baton artis-
tically poised, but we don’t see much
use in it, for she usually forgets it
during the second or third line and
gives full sway to the best of all time-

up:

Investiture Friday Morning

SENIORS WEAR ACADEMIC
COSTUME FOR FIRST TIME.

November the fourth was a day
which will ever hereafter stand out
in the mind of each member of the
class of ‘22 as she looks back on
her college career, for it was one of
the first of a series of great days
Which make glorious the life of a
Senior. Investiture, next in impres-)
siveness and dignity to graduation,
Was the event which made this a red
letter day, for it marked definitely the
change from mere ambitiously toiling |
student to stately gowned scholar.

The Sophomores, too, would agree
that it was hardly a less momentous
occasion for themselves when they
shared the thrilling and exhilarating
experience, as well as the conspicu-
ousness of their sister class. Mingled
feelings of elation at their own posi-
tion, pride in their Senior sisters, awe
at the impressiveness of the occasion,
and inspiration and determination to)
work hard to attain the goal set for
them, filled the heart of every white
clad Sophomore.

The Seniors met in Dr. Gaines’
home, where Mrs- Gaines put on them |
their Senior gowns. They then form-|
ed a procession, led by Dr. Gaines
and the faculty, and joined their
Sophomore sisters who were waiting
on Inman porch. The Sophomores}
formed in a double line and marched |
before, the procession following them |
and marching into the chapel. Here
the line divided and to the music of
“Ancient of Days” the faculty and
Seniors marched up to the front of the
chapel, the faculty going up on the
platform, the Seniors taking their
usual places,

Dr. Gaines opened the services with
prayer, then gave a short talk to the
Seniors, which they will long remem-
ber. Dr. McCaif made the address,
in which he expressed the meaning
of investiture, and the possibilities
Which lie before each Senior as she
goes out into the world. Then one by
one the Seniors walked up on the
stage and Miss Hopkins placed the
Academic cap on the head of each
one—Dr. Gaines closed the services
with prayer.

TWO BELLS—AND.ALL’S
WELL.

“Hear the ringing of the bells!—
Class-room bells!

What a world of mystery their melody
foretells!””

Now we've another one to listen
for! And we've betide the damsel
who tarries until it has rung! For
the faculty has decided that because
of the tardy marks prevalent upon the
records of the teachers, there must
be some new system. Therefore, be-
ginning on the first of November we
have a new system of bells,—one rung
at the usual time and one five minutes
later. The first is to let us know that
the time has come to leave all and go
to our classes. At the ringing of the
next one, the doors close and roll-call
is begun, In this way everyone who
comes in after the five-minute bell is
Tardy.

This new bell is not a device in-
vented by the faculty to torment us,
nor was it instituted by them simply
that they might gloat over us as we
tear frantically up-stairs and down-
stairs and all around the campus. It}
Was introduced to be of benefit to us,
and it fulfills its purpose. Classes now
have a definite, uniform time at which
to start and we cannot accuse anyone
but ourselves if we are late. By start-
ing precisely on the dot, we get the
full benefit of our hour’s recitation,
And five minutes is certainly suffi-
cient time to get to and from our
classes. If we were on third floor
Inman and someone told us we had a}
special posted on the bulletin board,
do you think it would take us five
whole minutes to get over there? That
five minutes we have in which to get
to our classes is no shorter than the
five minutes which seem so intermin-
able when we’re waiting for a ‘phone
call.

- =
Former A. S. C. Girl Success-
ful in New York

THE ONLY WOMAN-MANAGER
OF THEATRICAL PROD-
UCTIONS.

There is in New York a person,
who holds one of thé most unique
positions in America today. The posi-
tion in itself is not especially unique,
but the fact that the person who holds
it is a woman makes it so. Mary
Holtzclaw Kirkpatrick, who twenty
years ago was a college girl at A. S.

C., ig now one of the most successful

producing managers “in” this country. |

She has been in the theatrical produc-
ing field only nine years but since
then she has climbed steadily the
“ladder of success” and now is not
only regarded as an authority on
play producing, but she is likewise the
only woman who is a member of the
Producing Managers’ Association,

The Producing Managers’ Associa-
tion has as its members such leading
theatrical lights as David Belasco. H.
W. Savage, Charles Frohman, More
Klaw and Morris Gest, truly names to
conjure with. So we can realize just
how successful Miss Kirkpatrick is,
from these facts.

Perhaps some of us are familiar
with some of the plays she has pro-

duced or has helped produce. “A
Little Journey” was her first, then
followed “39 East,” then “He and

She” and last winter: “Nice People.”
Her latest production is “Everyday,”
which stars the grand-daughter of the
late Senator Bankhead of Alabama.
Miss Kirkpatrick was born and
reared in Montgomery, Ala., and ma-
terially feels a very warm and sincere
interest in the South, though she
makes her home in New York now.
One of her dearest plans is to have
the South know more and better plays.
This can be brought about by means of
stock and transfer-companies if
enough Southern centers become in-
terested in the idea. We
wish her success here, too, if she
undertakes the actual job of sending
plays South, for it is very generally

|felt, that that is one of the South’s|

failings, lack of acquaintance with
the actual leading theatrical produc-
tions of the day.

But if for no other reason, we
would wish Miss Kirkpatrick great
success, because she is a former A. S
Cc. girl, and a Southerner.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS.

Agnes Scott Sunday School reports
a good average attendance for the
past month. So far there are 125 stu-
dents enrolled and the average attend-
ance for the month has been 90.
Classes are growing every Sunday
and those who hear Miss Randolph,

thing excellent, indeed, if they miss

SING AND BE HAPPY.

Eat, drink and be merry
Then come out and sing!

If you can ging and know you can
|sing—come out and prove it that we
may become likewise imbued with
the Spirit of Song. If you can sing
and are not aware of the fact, come
out and sing and we will tell you so.
However, if you are positive deep
down in your soul that it was never
intended for you to rakse your sweet

voice in song, come and sing any
way. The spirit is the thing, you
know.

Yes—sing—but where? Why every
Tuesday night after Student Goyvern-
ment, Keen this date open always.
By chance, some of the college com-
munity may think that as the Student
Government meetings vary in length
and are always more or less long, some
other night would be better, say,
Wednesday night when there are
neither prayers nor other college
meetings. Of course, Mr. Johnson
|claims the voice students at seven,
but if we could sing from six-forty to
seven, we would not be deprived of
our most gifted songsters. This is
just a suggestion. What do you think
}about it? Talk it over and let every
}one know what you think. In the sings
almost more than any other student
activity, we aim to please.

What shall we sing?
of course—but not the same old ones.
We have quite a number of very en-
joyable songs in the little purple and
white books, but are not they
similar, for the most part, to the
regular run of college songs, We are
glad to use the same tunes that have
been college favorites since the first
college song was ever written, but
what about more individuality, also?
We have some two or three songs
really our own and we are justly
proud of them and the girls who gave
them to us. Can you manage to cap-
ture an absolutely different tune that
is wandering around somewhere look-
ing for a good home? Can you find
two words that rhyme and attach them
to an idea? If you can not properly
mate your words and tune—-go outside
the family and seek its life compan-
ion. No objection to collaboration.

Here is just a hint about something
that may happen or may not—it all
depends on you. Some class in the
spring may have a great big surprise
coming to it. Why? Well, for one
|thing, a great per cent of that class
jhave made a habit of attending the
sings. They are always present; so
they know all the songs, know how to

at assembly.

In order that the services may be

bells is announced. One bell will ring

begin promptly at 9:15. Another bell
which means for classes to assemble
will ring at 9:30, and at 10 o’clock the
dismissal bell will ring. Members of
lasses may be excused if they will

JUNIOR DELEGATE TO INTER-
COLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION
OF STUDENT GOVERN-
MENT CEOSEN.

Hilda McConnell was elected as the
Junior delegate to attend the meet-
ing at Simmons College, some time
this month. This election was a
pleasure to every one as Hilda is a
fine representative of the typical
Agnes Scott girl and liked by every
person on the campus. Nell Buchanan,
as president of the Student Govern-
ment, will also be present at this con-
ference. "These two students will ably
represent Agnes Scott to the other
colleges and we can be assured that
our school will yiand at the top

these girls,
The Intercollegiate Association of

Student Government will hold its an-
nual conference at Simmons College
in Boston, in the third week of
November. Agnes Scott and Randolph-
Macon Woman’s College are the only
two Southern colleges that have the
great honor of belonging to this asso-
ciation, and, as members, are priv-
ileged to send to this conference two
delegates each year. The constitu-
tion of the association provides that
these members shall be the president
of the Student Government and a rep-
resentative from the Junior class.

At this conference, problems that
are of mutual interest to nearly all
of the colleges in the United States,
will be taken up, diseussed fully and
decided upon in a manner most bene-

ficial to all parties concerned. In
former years, the results of these
meetings have strengthened the
foundations of the Agnes Scott stu-

dent government and enabled it to
earry on, more fully, the matters
necessary and essential to the welfare
of the student body.

As the older students probably
remember, this annual conference
was held at Elmira, New York, last

year and our representatives brought
back the very helpful information and
pvinions of some other colleges.

Practical and beneficial ideas, for
the betterment of our college are forth-
coming from these meetings and we
hope to profit, more and more, by
them, each consecutive year and to
make our Student Government one of
the best in this association.

thing. Then this class just adores to
be different and individual and every-
thing; so they have more original
songs to their credit. They may
know too how to make their own

every one else that you just can not
help joining in.

Do you want
just loads of fun

Do you want to find a sure cure for

Charles Levermore
Lectures

“RACIAL SORE SPOTS’’ HIS
SUBJECT.

Dr,

We have heard quite a great deal
lately of the plans of the International
Relations club and last Friday night
we had a chance to get some of the
real benefits of the organization, We
were, indeed, very fortunate in having
with us Dr. Charles Levermore, who
|for several years has been secretary
|of the New York Peace Society. The
subject of his talk was “Racial Sore
Spots" and there is probably no one
who is better qualified to discuss this
subject than he. Dr. Levermore is
from Connecticut and took his A. B. at
Yale in 1879. He received his Doc-
tor’s degree from Johns Hopkins, in
1886, and was university fellow in
history there, later becoming instruc-
tor. From there he went to the Uni-
versity of California for a time and
then to Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and from there to Adelphi
College, where he was president until
1912. Dr. Levermore was secretary of
World Court League and League of
Nations Union, in 1919, and is a mem-
ber of the American History Associa-
tion.

His “Republic of New Haven” was
awarded a John Marshall prize, a
Johns Hopkins in 1886. Since then
he has written “A Syllabus of Lec-
tures on Political History,” “Academy
Song Book,” and “Abridged Song
Book.” He is also author of the
admirable little pamphlet entitled,
‘What the League of Nations Has Ac-
eomplished” which has recently been
published. :

This is only one of the many good
speakers that the International Rela-
tions Club will bring to: uz this-scar
and we realize that this organization
will be very helpful to every one of
us, because it ‘is through just such
speakers as Dr. Levermore that we
get some insight into the real condi-
tions of our country today.

Entertains New
Members

Hoase

SUPPER IN HOME ECONOMICS
DINING ROOM.

The lights in the Home Econimics
jining-room on Monday night, and the
sounds of festivity, which issued there-
from, were the cause of much gazing
and many questions. To those curious
ones who have not yet been enlight-
ened, let us say that Hoase was enter-
taining its new members at a dinner
party. And a lovely party it was (so
those privileged ones who were pre-
sent have told us), with the white and

gold colors of Hoase carried out in the
place cards, the mints, the candles
and the chrysanthemums which

graced the center. The beautifully
served four-course dinner bore witness
to the fact that Agnes Scott girls are
a versatile lot—that is, they are dom-
estic as well as literary. The new
members admitted confidentially that
they hoped Hoase would make them
as skilled in the culinary art as the
old ones seem to be!

Besides the ten members of Hoasc,
the three faculty members, Miss Mac-
Dougall, Dr, Sweet, and Dr. McCain,
were partakers in this lovely affair;
also five alumnae members: Fan Mc-
Caa, Frances Markley, Janef Preston,
Emma Jones, and Katherine Seay, who
just happened to be in Atlanta at the
opportune time, and of course came

’ for the event.

We have an idea that the banquet
was not the only thing that happened
that night, but what the rest was we
sannot say. We only know that the
members walk around with a happy,
far-away look, and that they wear their
pins with an air of proud ownership—
as who wouldn’t who ever attained
that much-to-be-envied state?

The rival factions in China have re-

FROM STUDENT FRIENDSHIP
FUND HDQ.

129 E. 52d. St., New York City.

New York, Oct. 27—Student life, as
it is today in Europe, can not be pic-
tured, said Sherwood Eddy, just back
from three months over-seas.

“Imagine the despair of a student
returning after four years of fight-
ing,” he said, “to fall into the hope-
less misery of no food, not enough
clothing, and no work, After being
supported my his family for twenty
years, with high hopes of his future,
neither the student nor his parents
are now able to earn a livelihood.

“To understand the situation, sup-
pose that since the war the early
Spanish possessions in America had
been handed back to Spain, the former
French territories to France, the thir-
teen colonies to England, and Texas
had been returned to Mexico, Let}
us suppose that the University of
Texas and its other schools were now
to pass under a new regime with the
Mexican language, religion and cus-
toms imposed upon them. |
“Suppose the American students were
returning from four or five years of
war to their impoverished homes with
nothing but-their old faded uniforms
upon their backs, no money, and bodies
impaired by tuberculosis, pneumonia
or other war diseases. What would |
be their fate? Would they enter a
Mexican university? Rather, poor as
they were, they would migrate into
the states where their own languages,
religion, customs and liberties could
be maintained.

“Suppose they poured into one of
our state universities, without suffi-
cient clothing, books or money, ready
to work, but fighting for a chance to
hold on to their education. Even if
they were physically fit they would
have but little chance in the present
widespread unemployment to get

garrets and rooms this winter, and
many more who envy these students
. even a cold room or a bed without suf-
ficient clothing.

“In Vienna I interviewed the stu-
dents and student leaders. Many are
working as laborers, mechanics and
wood cutters to appease their hunger,

fective manual labor. If they tutor,
it requires ten hours daily to earn
a living, and competition is such that
no one can obtain so much work. Some
are selling newspapers on the streets,
getting one-fifteenth of a cent profit
on each paper and sometimes small

Allen’s.

work, and could hardly hope to com-
pete with skilled workmen seeking
jobs. This will give.some idea of the

situation in Europe.”

Mr. Eddy himself visited the Buro-
pean students in their bare, impover-
ished quarters. He said, “There are
students in Russia, Poland and in cen-
tral Europe, sleeping in parks or rail-
way stations, glad of a dry floor or a
little space in which to pass the night.
There are students in cold, cheerless

but after four years of underfeeding |
they have not enough strength for ef-)

THE AGONESTIC

Every year the World's Committee
of the National Y. W. C. A. decides
|upon a week of prayer. This year,
November 13th to November 1%th,
has been chosen. It seems significant
| that this is also the time of the Wash-
ington Conference. Our Y. W. C. A.
here at Agnes Scott will not hold
meetings every day during the week
of prayer as in former years. This
time is to be given to Dr. Erdman,
who will be with us then. However,
the Y. W. C. A. believes that the
power of prayer, and spirit of prayer
can be just as great if every girl, each
day, devotes her thought and con-
secrates a definite time to prayer for
foreign countries. Is it not an in-
spiration to think that at the same
time our prayers are’ ascending, those
of the women of forty different coun-
tries are being offered?

We have learned in our Y. W. C,
A. world fellowship meetings, from
posters, in our International Relations
Club, and elsewhere what the needs
of the world are. Dean Comstock
told us that higher education is a
strong bond between the women of

America and those of foreign coun- |

tries. There are many other bonds.
Let us seek still further during this
coming week to understand the people

tips. But it is demoralizing to stand
for hours on the noisy streets and live
on tips.

“Many of the students I met had
had no daily breakfast since 1917 till
the Student Relief work was begun.
Now some 5000 Austrian students have
been helped with a daily breakfast at
a charge of one-third of a cent a meal,
More than 1500 women students have
been given clothing. Some were in
such pathetic poverty they had not
even the price of a piece of soap or a
bath and were verminous from sheer
poverty.

“Many of the men were wearing
their old army field uniforms, now
frayed and threadbare. Others had
a thin overcoat buttoned up tight to
the neck, without shirt or underwear.
Many are left with tuberculosis or
malaria. Students who have to wait
for ten minutes in the bread line
sometimes become faint and cannot
stand. If a student tutors for three
hours daily he earns but ten cents for
it, or twenty-six dollars a college year.
Even if a student gives up his studies

to manual labor he can earn only from
twenty or fifty cents a day which is
not enough to permit laying up money
for his next year’s study.

“Thousands of students in central
and eastern Europe are suffering and

coming winter from cold and hunger,

| insufficient food and clothing, and from

| hopeless despair. The students of

some thirty countries are uniting to

Dear Friends:

The summer is ended, but let us
hope the harvest is not past. In fact
there are many indications that it has

come to their helier. The Student
Friendship Fund which is being raised
now by the young men and women in
the schools of the United States is a
challenge to fulfill our moral obliga-
tions to the students of the world.
“What will be the answer of the
American college students?”

Singing Notes
THE GLEE CLUB IS POPULAR.

Although the Glee Club has just
barely begun real sure enough work
on choruses for this year, yet the
organization is already receiving press-
ing invitations to render programs in
the city. Unfortunately, the club was
forced to refuse an invitation to sing
at a banquet Of "the Atlanta Rotarians
several days ago, on account of the
fact that the members were so busy.
But now all Glee Clubbers are looking
forward with a great deal of interest
and expectation to a date in the near
future. Several days ago, Mr. John-
son, head of the vocal department,
received a letter from the Georgia
Products Day Committee requesting
the Glee Club of Agnes Scott to be
present at the Georgia Products Day
luncheon at Taft Hall on November
22nd, At that time the Glee Club is
,to render several numbers, serve in
connection with other Glee Clubs of
|the State, and to partake of the
luncheon. Wesley and Brenau ag well
as other women’s and men’s Glee Clubs
of the State will be present,
| Under the direction of Miss Curry,
‘the club is working hard for the oc-
| easion upon numbers with such at-
| tractive titles as “A Medley of South-
ern Songs,” “The Barefoot Trail,”
*“Waterlilies,” and other excellent
numbers which are just as attractive
as their titles. The club is learning
many new numbers, truly new ones
which the Glee Club of Agnes Scott
have not sung in the past. Miss Curry
is a most excellent director, possessing
|the happy quality of getting real good
| hard work from the club, while the
members at the same time, derive
great enjoyment from the work. It is
practically certain that Agnes Scott
will have reason to be proud of her
Glee Club under its good management
and with its willing workers.

just begun. At Changseung there is
a young man with unusual zeal who
has pushed the Sunday School in his
church until he not only has a model
Sunday School tn the Church itself,
but has nineteen extension Sunday
Schools in the surrounding villages,

Some of the larger churches are so
crowded that the children, women,
and men all have Sunday School at
different times in order to be able to
have room for the crowds. There is
such a possibility in the S. S. work
out here. If one could visit some
Sunday the thousands of Sunday
Schools that are held for heathen
children, if one could see the teachers
gathering the children into small
stuffy rooms, or out in the yard, or
under some large spreading tree,—if
one could hear them singing “Jesus
Loves Me,"’-—and hear them repeating
John 3:16, though their faces are
begrimed with dirt and thoug they
have not half enough clothing on, it
would be an inspiration one could not
forget. We are going to try to make
this the best Sunday School year we
have ever had,

Pray for me that I may have wis-

dom in directing the work of the
churches here. Sincerely,
S. K. Dodson,

The Glee Club is composed in the
main of students in the vocal depart-
ment and a few good voices selected

from the other students. The mem-

bers are, as follows:

Soprano—Lillian McAlpine, Char-
lotte Keesler, Katherine Wilkinson,
Jeannette Archer, Alice Whipple, Viola
Smith, Ruth Virden, Lois Jennings,
Brooks Grimes, Laura McColloh, Ruth
Kennedy, Frances White, Victoria
Howie, Helen Crocker, Margaret
Mitchell, Agnes Pfohl, Helen Lock-
hart, Lulawill Brown, Norma Burke,

Contraito—Olivia Liebhert, Frances
Gilliland, Ruth Almond, Irma Heaton,
Mary Brown, Carrie Scandrett, Frances
Singleterry, Nell Esslinger, Ruth Hall,
Ruth Pirkle, Elizabeth Lockhart, Caro-
line Moody, Sarah Till.

At the last meeting of the Glee Club
its organization was effected and the
following officers elected: President,
Nell Esslinger; Vice-President, Ruth
Pirkle and Business Manager, Ruth
Almond,

In a Cantata, “Penitence, Pardon
and Peace” by Maunder, given by the
St. Phillip’s Cathedral choir under the
direction of its new and excellent
organist, Mr. McChord, on Wednesday
evening, Agnes Scott was represented
by Misses Lillian McAlIphine, Nell Es-
slinger, who is contralto soloist,

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL

Dearest “Pal”:
It's just about the messiest day

that’s possible, for it’s raining and

windy, and the whole campus looks
like a disagreeable “lob-lolly.” I guess
you've already discovered that I’m in
a hectic humor, so there is no use
concealing the fact.

First thing, I slept through break-
fast, and then wanted to stay on in
bed, but a horrid eight o'clock class
spoiled that fair dream. So, looking
like the original copy of the “Last
Days of Pompeii,’ I waded out into
the mud, and there got so mad that
I did everything but “bust.’’ For there
coming across the campus was Dot B.
with her hair all curled, and her nose
all powdered, and in every respect
looking her best in spite of the rain.
It not only made me mad to see that
some one could be so cheerful when
I was so “dumpy,” but also made me
feel rather suspicious of Dot. I in-
quired around and discovered that
there was ample ground for suspicion.
It seemed that Dot had English V.
this morning and this “unusual and
pretty type of girl with blue eyes and
dark hair’ had no intentions of failing
to preserve the rep of fair Anglo-
Saxon beauties, just on account of
rain. All of her intimate friends say
that she’s very careful every Tues-
day, Thursday and Saturday.

Speaking of happy girls, I bet Mary
Colley is the happiest within a wide

radius. It seems that Mary, lucky
duck, knew “Bobby in Miss Lulu
Bett.” Yes, and it seems that

“Bobby” knew Mary very well too,
judging from the calls, the dates and
everything that Mary had. She had

better go easy though, for actors are
dangerous things, so I’ve heard. It’s
so difficult to ever Know when they
cease to be acting. But I guess Mary
wasn’t in much danger Sunday morn-
ing, for I saw her entertaining him in
Dr. Gaines’ office. Imagine such! ! !
{ hope the walls won’t talk in there,
but Mary hopes that lot more than
I do.

You never can tell what will hap-
pen next, can you? Why I nearly)
checked out yesterday afternoon when |
Ruth K. and Elizabeth P, came home
from town and said they didn’t believe
they were very hungry.’ Now I just
knew there was something wrong
for who ever heard of an A. S. girl
actually admitting that sh€ wasn’t
hungry, They kept pretty quiet, but
you know me—l’m curious and a born
detective—so after half an hour, I
found out. Do you know that those
girls had met a minister, “Dec” one
too (I promised not to tell his name)

and gone to Nunnally’s with him. Now
if I was an Episcopal girl, I simply |
wouldn’t stand for that; for it just
isn’t fair, is it?

I wish I was Louise Buckhanan or
Jack Mclver, so fa have a brother in
Atlanta. It must be wonderful es-
pecially on week-ends, Why Jack has
two brothers who call her or come to
see her all the time, or better still
introduce her to “his cute friends.” I
often: see Jack’s name on the phone

|march on my window. Nothing like |

pad, when Y’m hopelessly looking for |
mine. She always says it’s her broth- |
er’s call, but I believe other people}
call her sometimes too, from Frat
houses.

Emily and “Gus” Thomas told me
their mother was coming this week.
They needn't have told me though,
tor I could have read it on their faces.
Both are the happiest looking girls
(‘ve ever seen, with the exception of |
Ruth Punn and Louise Brown. (Those }
two girls are fairly beaming for they |
are already packing their suitcases to|
z0 to “Georgia” this week-end.)

“Walkie” Perry certainly did go to
a fine school last year. Somebody
said she was a graduate of “cupid’s
school,” which guaranteed to have
you supplied with candy. There must
be a mistake in the name of the place
for [I can’t find it on the map, and |
would adore going there next year—
anything for candy. If you find out
where it is, old pal, remember me.

Oh! crash!! What a rotten humor |

most cheerful, in spite of the fact that
the rain is still beating the funeral

TRANSFORMATION IN SCI-
ENCE BUILDING.

Last Tuesday afternoon third floor
Science Hall was almost as confused |
a locality as the brain of any Fresh-
man in biology laboratory. But in the |
case of the third floor of Science Hall
there was the assurance that order
would soon emerge from the chaos,
All the biology supplies were being
moved from the laboratory into the
new storeroom which has just recently
been completed,

But the changes are not being con-
fined to the new storeroom. The posi-
tions of the cases in the museum have
been shifted so as to make room for
a new one. Also from Woodshole,
Mass,, where Miss McDougall, Eliza-
beth Nichols, and Miss MeCaa spent
a large part of the summer, new speci-
mens have been received and install-
ed in their proper cases.

One of the most interesting and
most familiar of these new specimens
is the skin of a rattlesnake. It is
between three and four feet long and
has enough rattles to satisfy the
euriosity of those who have never
before enjoyed the opportunity of
hearing the rustle of a snake’s rat-
tlers. The noise is guaranteed to give
anyone the goose chills. This skin
was given to the museum by Payton
Stinson.

There is one room on third floer,
which seems to have little to do with
study. Previous to my visit to third
floor I had never heard of an arbore-
tum, but now I am educated. An
arboretum is first double cousin to a
conservatory. It has the numerous
windows, bright sunlight, flowers, and
aquarium of a conservatory; never-

there and some newly acquired gold-
fish, all of which seem to be thriving

to-goodness conservatory.

If you do not know what an arbore-
tum is or if you have never made
a tour of inspection on third floor
Science Hall, take my advice and go

the first of this year, we couldn’t help
feeling a wee bit lonesome, because

MISS LUMPKIN’S VISIT.

If some one should come along and
say, “Everyone who didn’t enjoy Miss
Lumpkin, stand on her head right
quick.” I don’t believe we would have
an over-supply of acrobats, because
('m sure every Agnes Scott girl, young
or old, green or dignified, thoroughly
enjoyed those jolly sings in the chapel
and the sweet talks she gave us and

-well, we just enjoyed her.

Wasn't it fun to sing “Dese Bones
Gwine Rise Again” and “Deep River”
and “Swing Low,” and all those old
“spirituals,” and we liked “Follow the
Gleam,” too,

But song leading wasn’t all Miss
Lumpkin did, although she was kind
enough to lead two sings for us. She
had meetings with various branches
of the Y, W. C. A., and she led Y. W.
C. A. for us Sunday night and at all
these meetings she gave splendid talks
about our college life and helped us
in lots of ways.

The Blue Ridge girls had a picnic
with her Saturday night and even if
they did get caught in the rain and
had to run most of the way back, they
all said it was great fun.

We all hated to see her go, but like
all good times her visit had to come to
a close.

We hope Miss Lumpkin will come
back to see us anyway, and we know
that the good thoughts she left with
us will help to make lots of the hard
things easy, and I'm sure we won't
forget the songs because Ruth has
had us singing some of them already.

LET THE VANITY FAIR
BEAUTY PARLOR MAKE
YOU ATTRACTIVE,
Attention, girls, the place has been
discovered where you may become
beautiful for Saturday nights. It is
the Vanity Fair Beauty Parlor, prob-
ably better known on the campus as
“Miss Phi’s.” This beauty parlor is
in the cottage next to Boyd and is
quite attractive. It is open from nine
until five, so any time when you're
not dashing to classes, taking notes,
rushing to the dining room or doing
any of the other numerous things
which call upon your time, you may
become beautiful without any work
on your part. There are two very
zood points about this Beauty Par-
lor; its nearness to the campus, there-
fore it doesn’t take up much of our
valuable time, and second the prices
which are lower than in Atlanta and
therefore don’t make such big holes

Frances Charlotte Markley assists in

general secretary of the alumnae as-
sociation, Janef Preston is assistant
in English and Martha Stansfield is a
fellow in Latin. Marguerite Cousins
helps in the expression department,
so altogether a good many of the class
of '21 are with us still. In spite of
the fact that most of these girls swore
by every examination they ever flunk-
ed that they wouldn’t teach, we see
that most of them have changed their
minds. We hope they will always
remember that Agnes Scott loves to
have them visit her, and that many
will come back Thanksgiving to the
opening of the alumnae house.

Hikes for Day Students and
Boarders

DANCING CLASS FOR DAY
STUDENTS BEGUN.

Agnes Scott certainly must be the
most “athletically” inclined college
for miles around. The latest diver-
sions are hiking and dancing. The
idea of three hikes in one week! But
that is what Agnes Scott had last
week. Wednesday morning at 5:45,
there was the quietiest noise heard
out in frént of Main. Twenty-five
early birds were ready to go on a
hike. It was the most delightful hike
—just a nice long walk out Ponce de
Leon, on East Lake Drive and back
down College avenue. The girls said
the sun-rise was so beautiful that
they felt as romantic as if it had been
the moon, This early morning hike
was for industrious boarders.

At 2:15 Wednesday afternoon, the
boarders, who were unable to lose
beauty sleep that morning, went on a
hike over the same path, but it is
rumored that there were no moons or
sun-rises, and that the afternoon hike
was not quite so thrilling as the morn-
ing one,

Day students enjoy hiking as much
as do boarders; and too, a hike helps
to fill up an exercise card. At 15
Friday afternoon, a large number of
day students met, and hiked out to
Ingleside and back to the college.
The girls said that “they had the best
time,” and had “more adventures.”
It was almost dark when they got
back, and, although they were “foot-
sore” and weak, they were happy.

Day students have decided that)
their feet were made for more than
walking—they want an aesthetic danc-
ing class. Although there are several
classes already, Miss Randolph has
kindly consented to teach a dancing
class for day students if enough of
them care to take. The afternoon for
this class will be every Monday at

oO,
ot

which has been placed in their dress-
ing-room in Main. If you think you
can “trip the light fantastic toe” sign
up before Monday, November 7th.
Miss Randolph will not teach the
class unless there are enough girls in |
it—so everybody join.

FIRE CAPTAINS CHOSEN.

Hlections were held for fire cap-
tains Tuesday two weeks ago and
everyone was holding their breath to
find out who would have the extreme
pleasure of ringing the bell.

When elections were read out we
find that Hall McDougall is captain,
of Inman, Marjorie Lowe, of Main
and Lois McClain, of Rebekah Scott.
Bleanor Hyde is first lieutenant of
White House and Janef Preston, of
Lupton. First and second lieutenants
and bucket brigades have been elected
and organized so now we expect these
girls to be great life-savers and wish
them great success in their great and
noble service. Eunice Dean is our
able fire captain and a fine one she is.

There have been fire drills in al-
most every dormitory and only a few
knocks have been given for neglect
of bringing wet towels.

Girls, be prepared any unusually
cold and chilly night to spring lightly
out of bed, grab a towel, slip on your
dainty bed-room slippers and kimono;
land race down stairs as soon as the
bell is sounded. These drills are not
to be few and far between but very
often, for we need the exercise.
Wouldn't our mothers be surprised to
see us rise so quickly in response to
any alarm? We see that we should
all learn to rely on ourselves, and this
is one way to do so.

ATHLEPBICS

SATURDAY’S HOCKEY
GAMES.

A date important in athletic annals
was October 29th, which marked the
third hockey game of the season, when
the Sophs defeated the Seniors 2-1
and the Juniors vanquished the Fresh-
men 7-1. Three o'clock on that memo-
rable Saturday afternoon found teams
and rooters ready for the conflict.

The Senior-Soph game was intensely
interesting. Aiter the Sophomores
made a goal in the first quarter, there
was some fine close playing in which
neither side scored. In the last quar-
ter, however, the Seniors came up
with a goal, making the score an even
1-1. In the end the Sophs won a sec-
ond point, which gave them the game.
The score proves that both teams are

now in good trim and are well
matched.

Exciting, also, was the Junior-
Freshman game. Creditable team
work was displayed by both sides.
While '25 did not “shine” as to
score, connoisseurs declare that the

Freshmen have an exceptional team
which bids fair to attain greatness in|

the future.

If you are not standing by your)
team by attending the games, resolve
today to appear at the field next Sat-|
urday. You need the thrill of seeing |
your side win, and your team needs |
your yelling.

Le Salon Francais

TUM,

The French Club of Agnes Scott
College held its first regular meeting
of the year in the Propylean Hall,
Friday evening, October 28th. All the
members of the French Faculty and
a goodly number of the members of
the French Club were present.

Ethel Ware, the president, presided
over the meeting and called it to order.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by Mary Barton, they were the
minutes for the meeting held to elect |
officers. After they had been ap-
proved the program proceeded.

All of it was in French. Some sat
and bobbed their heads in beautiful
rhythm, just as one pats their foot
to music, we knew that they
“comprend” or if they didn’t, they |
wanted somebody to think they did.
Still others sat with their mouths
wide open, to see that anybody, even
Miss Alexander could talk in French
so fast. Others, those who have pos-
sibly advanced to French Il or are
majors sat just as if the meeting were
being conducted in English. Of course,
it’s hardly right to say “sat” since
some had to sit on the floor and
others stand; because the room was so
crowded,

The first thing on the program was
a series of slides, pictures of Paris
and its vicinity which were explained
by E. Hyde, S. Till and C. Evans. This
was a quite interesting feature and
included scenes of Arche de Triomphe,
Louyre, Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle
and Versailles.

This was followed by some current
avents given by Helen Barton from
Le Petit Journal, which the club sub-
scribes for.

After this many songs were sung
among which were, “Au Clair de la
Lune” and “Frere Jacques,” It was
lots of fun to sing “Frere Jacques”
since Miss Alexander divided the girls
into three divisions and it was sung
as a round. Everyone was nearly
convulsed with laughter by the time
Miss Alexander held up her hand to
stop “the noise.”

ao |
FRENCH CLUB GAINS MOMEN

= rat rs = -

After this a most delightful playette
was given. The scene was in a rail-
way car. The moral of it was, “You
can catch more flies with molasses
than with vinegar.” The cast follows:

Le Monsieur—M,_5 e,

La Bonne—Vic. Howie.

Bebe—Rosalind Jones.

La femme—R. Neisler.

Le Conducteur—\V. Gregory.

The most of the cast was from the
Freshman class and they but ex-
hibited another of the accomplish-
ments of that wonderfully precocious
glass. These girls were chosen by
the French Faculty, to take these
parts, which was indeed an honor.

Of course games were part of the
evening’s entertainment and they were
in charge of Winifred Johnston and
Beulah Davidson, These girls read
out a list of animals and then said
they would call out some words and
when they gave anything that flies
with wings the girls must wave their
arms in a bird-like fashion. It was
intensely amusing since many times
some one girl waved her arms in a
most etheral fashion when such words
as lion and elephant were read out.

Everyone that Was at the «lub
realized that what we need in singing
is a copy of the words. Here are
some songs that were sung at the last
meeting and will be sung again and
other new ones that will be sung next
time. Please be sure to bring your
Agonistic to the club so that every-
body will know the words.

Dean Comstock’s Message

TO BE SENT TO ALL AGNES
SCOTT COLLEGE ALUMNAE,

A circular letter is being got out to
be sent to the Association of Univer-
sity Women of America as a greeting
to all alumnae of colleges. Since we
(Agnes Scott) are members of this
Association, we are entitled to one.

While Miss Comstock, who is Presi-|

dent of this Association, was here she
left us a message for our alumnae.
This was secured by the Secretary of
Agnes Scott alumnae and was kindly
contributed to the cause of the Ago-
nistic. The message of Miss Comstock
is as follows:

“T am exceedingly grateful to your
Alumnae Secretary, Miss Markley, for
the opportunity of adding a few words
to this circular letter and of bringing
you greetings from the American
Association of University Women.

“There seems to me to be three rea-
sons why the Association can look
forward to a successful future. For
one thing, it combines the strength
of two strong Associations, the South-
ern Association of College Women and|
the Association of Collegiate Alum-
nae. Secondly, it inherits-irom these
lines of activity already welt, estab-
lished. Thirdly, it has committed
itself to two enterprises which it is
fitted to carry on and which are con-
tributors to efforts just now of su-

reme importance to the world—the|

‘improvement ‘of elementary and sec-

ondary education and the promotion
of international friendliness. I hope‘
that the graduates of Agnes Scott
College, occupied though I know they
are with, many public and private
duties, will lend their support to the!
attempt of the Association to repre-
sent the college women of the country
in the world-wide efforts now being
made to forward education and to
bring peace and friendship to the
world.

“ADA COMSTOCK,

“Dean of Smith College and President

of the American Association of Uni-

versity Women.”

ALUMNAE AID LEAGUE.

The beginning of every semester

finds girls who are earnest students,|.

with a definite life purpose, but who
are unable to continue or start their
college career, as the case may be, be-

eause of a lack of finances. These

girls are more worthy of going to col-
lege than some who have the privi-
lege thrust upon them. But the ques-
tion is, how are they to manage?
Some of them need a small amount of
financial assistance, others need more.
In either case, the problem has partly
been solved by the Alumnae Aid
League of A. S. C.

The foundation of this beneficial
organization was prompted by the
desire of its members to show in part
their gratitude to their Alma Mater.
About 100 members constitute the
League, who have increased the col-
lege income $500 by an individual
subscription of $5.00 per year. Hach
member feels, therefore, that although
she is not making a great sacrifice,
she is, with the co-operation of the
other members, offering much assist-

LECTURE ASSOCIATION
PLANS ANNOUNCED.

Many Noted Lecturers Antici-
pated.

Last Tuesday morning in chapel we
heard of one of the youngest and yet
ane of the livest organizations on the
campus. This, as everybody knows.
is the Lecture Association, This
Association was organized last year
and brought to us Mr, Dodd, Miss
Monroe and Mr. Taft, whom we all
remember very distinctly as giving
us some of the best and most helpful
lectures of the whole year on history,
modern poetry, and art.

This year the Association is plan-
ning to do even greater things. They
have come in touch with five speak-
ers who are the very best in their
respective lines and who can give us
information and entertainment that)
will probably mean as much or more

(Continued on page 4.)

NOTICE.

The new Alumnae Secretary, Miss
Frances Charlotte Markley, has be-
gun her work with the Alumnae Asso-
ciation. It is very necessary that
the Secretary know all items of in-
terest to the Association and they
should be handed in to her. There
are many changes of address as well

ance.

The plan of the League is thus:
For the coming year a subscription
of $500 is expected, which is to con-
stitute the Loan Fund. This is to be
distributed in small sums of not more
than $100 yearly, to any student in
line for the B.A. degree who satisfies
the recognized standards of charac-
ter and ability. The loans are not to
bear interest and are to be repaid
whenever the student shall be in a
position to do so.

as changes of name among the alum-
nae which would prove of great help
to her if they were reported to her.
Such information will be appreciated.
Miss Markley has her office in No. 8
Main and can be found there between
8 and 9:30 every morning.

It is evident that no individual ever
adequately pays for his or her college
education. Therefore no college can
exist without endowment. The Alum-
nae Aid League is in a position to
realize this fact, and have given prac-
tical support.

Alumnae Scholarship Loans

Corrections of Statements in Cat-
alegue Made.

Not many people have ever applied
for the Alumnae Scholarships, due
perhaps to a misunderstanding as to
the conditions under which they are
offered, the terms, and probably most
of all a mistake in the catalogue in
regard to these loans. Under the
heading Alumnae Association in the
catalogue there are these erroneous
statements: “Only Juniors and Sen-
iors, and students who have not more
than two years of work to secure a
degree may borrow from this fund.”
“No interest (on the loan) will be
charged till one year after the bor-
rower has finished her college course.
From that date all unpaid loans and
parts of loans will begin to draw in-
terest at six per cent. until paid.”
The Alumnae wish that these cor-
rections be made. According to the
catalogue only Juniors and Seniors
are eligible. This has never been
stipulated by the Alumnae Associa-
tion. The Scholarship Fund is for
the benefit of any student of what-
ever class she may be.

The second statement in regard to

the payment of the interest and prin-| College

cipal of the loan also stands open to
correction. It should read “These
loans are not to bear interest and
are to be repaid whenever the sa
dent shall be in a position to do so.’

The Association feels that these)
mistakes are responsible for the fact}
that the loans have not been taken |
advantage of more generally.

dents will be benefited by them.

Mrs. Deickman is ch
Alumnae Scholarship Committee, and
all applications for loans must
made through her.

The amount of the fund is not now
available for publication, but in a
short time a notice will be printed in
the Agonistic as to the total amount
available. All those students who
are interested watch for this notice.

peculiarly the Southern girls’ gift, an
annual prize of $250. 00 is offered for
the next five years for the best play
presented by an alumna. The first
award will be maile in May, 1922.

A. S. C. CLUB OF DECATUR.

Activities of ‘‘Old Girls.’’

A highly important phase of the
life of every college is the degree of
activity of its alumnae. Agnes Scott
is fortunate in having an alumnae
whose loyalty as Hottentots endures
long after the days of sociology and
“De Levee,” and far from Science
Hall and the hockey field. In various
cities—Montgomery, Atlanta, Deca-
tur, and elsewhere—branches of the
Alumnae Association have been
‘ormed, while others are now being
organized.

Of particular interest to us is the
A. S. G. Club of Decatur, whose prox-
imity to the campus—the base of sup-
plies, as it were, for alma mater
spirit and loyalty and energy—ren-
ders it one of the most active of the
alumnae organizations. With Miss

Miss Marian Booker, formerly
librarian, as secretary and
treasurer, the Decatur Club has un-

and

back again to the living room. There
is a grand big fireplace in there.
The mantle was the gift of an

alumna; two sets of adorable French
windows are on either side of it. To
continue our tour into the private
dining room, we pass through French
doors. It is tiny and cozy, just the
kind of place for the supper party
you have been wanting to give. More
French doors open into the big tea
room. Oh, it’s a wonder, a reguiar
thousand window variety, and what's
more, it is huge. There is a back

nj entrance, too, so that it will be just

as easy to slip in there as in the old
tea room. Thence on around there is
a marvelous butler’s pantry and a
nice big kitchen with a grand storage

Up we go. To begin
at the front, on the right is a bed-
room which the class of '21 is going
to furnish as their “P. G.” to Agnes
Seott. On the left is the college guest
room. It is lovely and so hospitable
looking with a nice fireplace and a
private bath. There are three more
bedrooms on the back that will be
used for alumnae, another which
Miss Bishop will use and another
large corner room, the wonderful sew-
ing room and ironing room. Its fur-
niture will be electric irons and ma-
chines.

But what’s the name of it? Those
who are careful observers and have
been to Little Decatur the back way
have noticed the marble slab bearing
Anna I. Young Alumnae House go
into place over the door.

The Freshmen and Sophomores
have just heard of Miss Young, but
the Juniors and Seniors were fortu-
nate enough to feel the wonder o? her
unselfish » personality. Miss Young
had the chair of Mathematics at
Agnes Scott for 21 years. Just before
the session of '20 and ’21 began she

was seized with a fatal attack of
pneumonia and Agnes Scott lost one
of her truest and most unselfish

alumnae and members of the faculty.
She was one who gave of the very
best that was in her to the advance-
ment of the good interest of the col-
lege.

But who conceived the idea
Alumnae House? Dr. Gaines,
ing to have established some -memo-
of this noble
woman suggested to the Alumnae
Association that they endow the chair
of Mathematics in memory of her.
The Alumnae began to talk it over
and decided that the distant alumnae
might become more interested in
something more tangible than the
endowment of a chair, so they began

of the
desir-

to think.

They dreamed rather hopelessly of
building a home center for Agnes
Seott. The Trustees. scented this

of those unknown friends grown famous, who from time to time wander
back to the fold. We forget that they knew the warmth of the sheltering

Being very modern, we revel in the accomplishments of our modernity,
forgetting too often those flesh and blood Hottentots who were modern
in their day, and who through four college years worked and played and
struggled in order to make possible the yery fruits which we regard as
products of our enlightened day.

Chief among those products which we, mistaken, regard as having
sprung solely from our own genius and labor, are our publications. Who

the privilege finally came. If she ever paused to wonder through whose
dream and its fulfillment came the Cotillion Club, she might have food for
reflection and gratitude. Assuredly it did not spring full grown from
anybody’s head; there were ideals and personalities back of its growth.
Social organizations and privileges belong to the modern Agnes Scotter
partly because some Agnes Scotters of yesterday cared enough to work
hard for organizations and privileges and then to be worthy of them.

Not only haye we, as every college generation, fallen heir to a social
life to which others contributed, but we have received from others a rich
heritage of ideals built up through a slow process of years. The minds
and hearts and unselfish loyalties of many girls have been responsible for
the growth and the ideals of student organizations. Well may we be proud
of smoothly running organizations that are the embodiment of high ideals.
Who of us is not proud of our Student Government Association that this

very day has delegates in Boston meeting with representatives of Northern ject to articles like this:

Dearest E—:

I’ve been up here nearly two weeks
now, (it seems like two months), and
am feeling decidedly settled. I just
wish you could have seen me getting
here. There is no railroad over here,
a distance of about four miles, and so
the only possible method of travel is
horseback, or what is more common,
mule back. I was met at the station
by a little boy and a horse, which
horse carried my suit case, my heavy
‘oat, a little girl 14 years old and me,
all on his back! Never have I had a
more precarious ride.

The school consists of four build-
ings, all evidently built for summer
weather. Never worry about my not
getting enough fresh air! The school
room in which I teach is about as big
as the Propylean Hall, the glass is en-
tirely out of one window and two of
the others won't close, which room is
heated by a stove in one end! Fortu-
nately the classes are not very large
ind we just all sit around the stove in
2 most informal style.

The school is very poor and needs

they always wore the same hittle red

calico dresses when they came tr

school, and they only came about
three times a week. One of the
teachers went to see their mother to
find out what the trouble was, and
after much beating around the bush
she finally confessed they didn’t have
but the one dress to their names, and

so had to go to bed (literally) when
it was being washed.

I am teaching six different classes
a day, two Latin, three English, and
one French. The children are just
splendid and keep up with their
school mighty well when you con-
sider that the girls have to do all
the cooking, cleaning, washing and
ironing, and the boys the farm work,
water carrying, bringing in coal,
building fires, etc. I sometimes won-
der how they do as much as they do.

Aud, my dear, be consoled, for your
struggles in Latin were as nothing
compared to their’s, and I wish you
eould hear their French pronuncia-
tion. Miss Alexander would lose her
mind, I’m sure, could she hear them,
and when they think the past parti-
ciple of write is wrote, how can you
expect them to know the past parti-
ciple of aimer? I spend more time
correcting their English in class than
I do their French!

Please give my love to everybody
there that cares for it.

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL

Dearest “Pal”:

I've been so excited and thrilled
that I really haven’t been able to
write a sane letter, but now it’s ali
over, and I’m relieved because it
turned out fine. Of course you are
crazy to know what is it, but when I
do tell you you'll say I’m silly to get
so worried over other people's affairs.
When you get as starved and hungry
for romance as I am, you'll under-
stand, though.

You see it’s like this—Hester has
been my trouble. She got a letter
from a boy in New York saying he
was going to telephone her Saturday
night. You know I've told you how
horrible it is to use this phone, and
on Saturday especially. Well, all of
a sudden it occurred to me how tragic
it would be if he were not able to get
her while he had the inclination.
But after all I need not have worried,
for he did get her, and talked ten
and a half minutes. I think they
both talked at the same time, too,
for it was mighty agreeable to both
of them. Next day found Hester’s
room jammed full of roses, chrysan-
themums, etc, Oh! I forgot to tell
you it was her birthday, so all her
flower garden didn’t come from that,
one him. Here I am pining for one
man, and she has dozens—tall ones.

fat ones, little ones, thin ones. Now
doesn't that defeat you?

But Hester isn’t the only lucky girl
who gets flowers. I wish you could |
see Margaret McDade’s room. It!
fairly looks like a wedding. Oh! yes,
she has a birthday, too, but it’s a
new kind to me—where truck loads
of flowers come piling in. How do
you guess people find out when your
birthday is? All I’ve ever told im-
mediately forgot the date, but even
if they would remember they'd send
old black-eyed Susans.

Oh,
something about Martha Lee, but
everybody says I talk and know too
much for a Freshman, so I guess I
better not tell even you. Til just
give you a wee hint, and that won't
be telling, will it? S-h+h. There’s a
man, closely connected with the fac-
ulty—the business manager to be
exact—who takes her to football
games ‘most every week. Oh, she
hasn’t told me a word, ‘cause she
says I talk too much too, but I’ve got
a little bird that knows how I love
gossip, and this little ‘bird told me
everything. He’s tall, terribly good
looking—oh, I must hush or I'll tell
you his name, and then I'd be awful
scared of Martha Lee.

LOCAL ALUMNAE SECRE-

For the last two or three years the
Alumnae Association has tried to
keep a local secretary on the campus
for the purpose of receiving and
answering letters) directed to the
Association and attending to any
matters that may come up.

This year the Association is very
fortunate to have as a secretary Miss
Frances Charlotte Markley, who grad-
uated last year. ;

Just at present she is getting out
letters to all members of the Asso-
ciation and she would appreciate it
if any one who knows of any girl

night to be able to strike one more

girls here that I can get to write your
list for you. Really Quenelle Harold
and Nonnie Pe k are great at it—
in fact they do everything but pro-

them to help you at any time, about

BLACKFRIARS.

All-Star Casts.

The first performance of Black-
friars, which the college community |

deal of curiosity and even more pleas-
ure, will take place Saturday night,
November the twenty-sixth. The

Beth plays are
decidedly different from anything the
Club has given before, and the mem-
bers of Blackfriars hope that the col-

Rehearsals are being-held almost
daily under the enthusiastic super-
vision of Miss Moses. The casts in
the two plays have been asked by
the Atlanta Woman's Club to repro-
duce these plays at Eggleston Hall
in Atlanta on the Tuesday after they
have been given out here, but no
definite plans have been made so far.
Such a performance is desirable, be-
cause naturally every Agnes Scott
student is anxious for Atlanta to real-
ize the ability and enterprise of the
various organizations of her Alma
Mater.

an amusing and distracting way to
spend our spare (?) seconds. To see
our teachers and know how they
looked a few years ago. Also, the
dignified Seniors of this year, and
how they appeared when they were
unsophisticated Freshmen. These
pictures certainly do make us take a
greater interest in life and not feel
so downcast.

The athletic side of Agnes Scott
Was not nearly so fully developed a
few years ago, as you can readily see
by glancing at the various sports
then. The game of hockey was un-
heard of, or, at least, not organized
here at that time. The tennis clubs
were of more importance it seems,
(I suppose it was considered, in nine-
teen hundred and two, very, very un-
ladylike to race and tear up and down
a field, brandishing a hockey club and

REORGANIZATION OF ASSO-
CIATION OF COLLEGIATE
. ALUMNAE,

The American Association of Col-
lege Women is not a new organiza-
tion, but it is two old organizations
combined under a new name. These
organizations were the Southern
Association of College Women and
the Association of Collegiate Alum-
nae. The American Association of
University Women still keeps the
ideals and ambitions of these organi-
zations, but besides these it has
three new ambitions, Its first aim
is to have two hundred thousand of
the college graduates of America as
members. The second is to keep the
Club House that they now have in
Washington for its members and to
place a Club House in every large
city in the world. The Club House
in Washington has been a great joy
to the Association for the last year
or two, and in March they are to
move to bigger and better quarters
and they expect to get much benefit
from it. Their third ambition is a
highly-paid. Secretary to go oyer the

every Freshman to put on her think-
ing cap and write on original short
story, for have you not always wanted
to write something which you could
really be proud of? Well, now is the
chance of your young lives.

This Club is in charge of and di-
rected by Mrs. Dieckmann, who helps
to select the members. She is of
great aid to the Club and does much
to help the girls who are already in
it. She criticises the work and in
this way helps the girls to improve
themselves.

Freshmen are the only ones ad-
mitted into this Club, the Sophomore
members remaining in it only until
the last of the first semester.

Folio leads up to membership in
B. O. Z., and anyone who is a mem-
ber of Folio stands a good chance of
becoming a member of B. O. Z.

The tryouts must be brought to
room 63, Inman Hall, by one o’clock
on November eighteenth.

HOCKEY GAMES FOR SATUR-
DAY PROVE EXCITING.

More Cheering Needed.

In the hockey game Saturday, No-
vember 5, the Seniors played against
the Juniors, ana the Sophomores
against the Freshmen. Once again
the hockey field was the scene of a
stubborn . combat. dm the ‘Senior-

‘Junior game, the Juniors came out

victorious with a score of 3 to 0.
The first quarter of the Sophomore-
Freshman game ended with a score
of 1 to 0 in faver of the Freshmen,
The audience was wildly excited, and
the Freshmen forgot to be “seen and
not heard.” In the end, however, de-
spite the high hopes of the Freshmen,
the Sophomores were the winners.
The game ended with a score of 5
to 1.

The spirit shown by the Freshman

team this year is admirable, and
prophesies future laurels. Among

the best players ef their team Satur-
day were Rebecca Burke and Jose-
phine Schuessler, who guarded the
left wing valorously. As usual, the
three halfbacks of the Sephomore
team—Weenona Peck, Augusta
Thomas and Nancy Evans—formed an
invincible line against which the
plucky Freshmen battled in vain.
The whole forward line of the Junior
team distinguished itself by its splen-
did playing. Among the “stars” of
ithe Senior team were Ethel Ware,
Frances Harper, and Alice Whipple.

“LECTURE ASSOCIATION
PLANS ANNOUNCED.

(Continued from page 1.)
to us than anything else we will have
this year. The first of these lectur-
ers who will come to us this year is
Dr. David M. Robinson. He will give
us on November 30 an illustrated lec-
ture on “The Comic and Grotesque
in Ancient Literature and Art.” Dr.
Robinson has traveled and studied
extensively and has made explora-)
tions and excavations in Asia Minor
and Greece, and the slides illustrat-

‘ing his lecture are taken from base

paintings.

The next speaker will be Dr. Ed-
ward Devine, who will come some
time in February. Dr, Divine is

the most popular professor of sociol-
ogy and science in Columbia Univer-
sity, and is now connected with the
School of Philanthropy, in New York.
He is an expert for cities and com-
munities in associated charities and
was in Atlanta in charge of relief
work after the fire. Dr. Devine was
here last year, and all who heard
him then and those who did not will
be very much interested in his two
lectures “Problems of the Pacific” and
“Blijah the Tishbite.”

The Lecture Association also hopes
to bring Amy Lowell to us this win-
ter. It has been said of her that,
“Like Deborah of old,” she sings, goes
forth to war, and judges. She has
also been called America’s greatest
poet of today, and that she brought
into American poetry a new spark.

Another lecturer for this winter
will be Dr. Stockard, of Cornell Med-
ical School, who is an authority on
harmones. He will tell us of the
effect on the body of these obscure
glands and will show us that all
science is not technical.

In order that Agnes Scott may keep
in touch with the world moyements,
we hope to have Professor Earskin
with us some time in the spring.
This year is the six hundredth anni-
versary of the death of Dante, and
Professor WHarskin tries to make
Dante mean more to us than a great
name,

If the student body supports this
Lecture Association they will be able)
also to bring us another very worth-
while speaker. It has not been de-
cided yet who this will be, but prob-
ably jit will be some distinguished
foreigner.

All of these lecturers are
worth while and we owe it to Agnes
Seott to come in touch with them,
because they will mean a great deal
to us after we leave school,

The season tickets for this course
will be three dollars, whereas if we
do not have season tickets each lec-
ture will cost us one dollar, so we
all see that it will be to our advan-
taze to have season tickets, and it
will also enable the Association to
bring these speakers to us.

TWELVE HOURS’ EXERCISE.

There is a course which every stu-
dent on the campus must take year
in and year out during her career at

Agnes. It is not to be scorned or

passed lightly over, but must be pur-

sued with gusto. The twelve hour

in exercise! Who has not
gritted her teeth with something re-
sembling anger as she donned baggy
bloomers and.a pair of flat, dirty, un-
comfortable tennis shoes and trotted
over to gym? There Miss Wilburn
and Miss Randolph forget their usual
consideration and actually ask one
to jump the “horse” or to hang sus-
pended in the air from the boom.
This is followed by a rapid march
punctuated by many “wheel rights”
and “to the rears.” Finally the agony
comes to an end, and, breathing re-
lief, the gym class wends its way
homeward, happy in the possession
of one of their twelve hours exer-
cise. However, after four such
periods of trials and tribulations, the
unhappy Agnes Scotter still finds her-
self with eight hours exercise to be
taken!

Affairs now develop into a mad rush
for tennis courts and a hurried prom-
enading through the dormitories in
search of a racquet. Tennis shoes
come into evidence again and a vast
amount of energy is used in hunting
for lost balls and in chasing those
which were knocked too far or not
far enough. Tennis is not the end o*
our troubles, but hockey must also
be indulged in! The wrinkled bloom
ers here make their appearance again
and the third period of feverish flit-
ting around begins. This probably
ends in a broken finger or a skinned
hours are added to the four so labor-
iously attained in gym.

Now the third period, or that of
promenading through the avenues
and boulevards of Decatur arrives.
Now, it would be fine if one could
stroll up to Smith’s and eat a choco-
late tau; and then, on arriving home,
put down an hour’s exercise on one's
exercise card. Bit, not so! The
walking must be done without inter-
mission for at least an hour at a
time.

dream and offered $15,000 if the
alumnae would raise the rest. They
did. On August 15th their dream
began to be a reality, for on that day
the foundation of the Alumnae Build-
ing was laid. There was one condi-
tion that the Trustees made, and
that was that a committee of six,
three from the Trustees and three
from the Alumnae Association be
appointed. This committee is com-
posed of Mr. J. J. Seott, Dr. Gaines,
Mr. Samuel Inman, Mrs. A. C. Guy,

Wey, ‘12.

It’s all so wonderful, but there are
sO many more things needed. Take
for instance the bedroom furnish-
ings, in that they have not been ar-
ranged for, or the linen. Everybody
can help in this great need.

Then about the new tea room. Miss
Bishop has a most wonderful plan
for maybe opening it from 9:30 to
10:00 at night, just when hunger
seizes one the most. There will also
be a gift shop in connection with the
tea room.

PARE TO GET THIN.

The reducing craze has struck
Agnes Scott! ‘In Rebekah Scott sev-
eral young ladies, who think they are
blessed with too much avoirdupois,
stand on their heads, roll on the
floor, and perform various other fool
ish-looking antics. Everybody wants
to get thin. If, by chance, there hap-
pens to be one string-bean damsel at
the college, she is enyied, and all de-
clare that she is favored by the gods,
The general wail from morning till
night is, “Oh, if | were only thin.”

Last week the college community
was a scene of confusion all because
of one Freshman. She merely re-
marked at mail call that she had
been to the reducing class in gym.
There was immediately a stampede.
All of the husky Hebes wanted to
know at what hour the red cing class
was held. The poor girl was asked a
million questions. Her accounts did
not satisfy the mob, so they attacked
Miss Randolph. But the chubby ones
were disappointed, for they were as-
sured that there was no such thing
as a reducing class at A. S. C. The
Freshman had exaggerated slightly.
She was rather immense and was
taking I, G. (individual gym), but
I. G. is for those who are not strong
enough to take the regular exercise.

Well, we walk for four hours every
two weeks whether we want to or
not, and at every step we bewail the
fact that walking upstairs does not
count at all. Nothing could be worse!
However, as we turn in at the gate
at the end of our last walk we breathe
a sigh of relief that for this week we
have exercised faithfully for twelve
hours. And we never think that we
have worried twenty-four while we
were doing it!

When outsiders hear Agnes Scott
spoken of they usually think of May
Day. For this is the event of the
year that sets Agnes Scott before the
public and portrays her artistic and
interpretative ability. Back of these,
_however, must be the story and the

have any idea that could be put into
a play you are invited to take part in
the “try-outs.”

The play is usually in the form of]
an allegorical myth, which will be set
to musie by Mr. Dieckmann. You have
for materia] all the best dancers in
the college, as many good musicians
as you need for the actors and the

These are the requirements for the

Most HONORED SIR:

Understanding that there are sev-
eral hands wanted in your honor’s de-
partment, I beg to offer you my hand.
As to my adjustments, I appeared be-
fore the matric examination at Octo-
ber but failed, the reason of which I
shall describe. To begin with, my
writing was illegible. This was due

from a warm to a cold climate, found
my fingers stiff and very disobedient
to my wishes. Further, I had received
a great shock to my mental system in
the shape of the death of my only fond
brother. Besides, most honored sir, I
beg to state that I am.in very uncom-
fortable circumstances, being the sole
means of support of fond brother's
seyen issues, consisting of three adults
and four adulteresses, the latter being
the pain of my existence owing to my
having to support two of my own
wives as well as their issue, of which,
by God’s misfortune, the feminine gen-
der predominates.

If, by wonderful good fortune, these
few lines meet with your benign kind-
ness and favorable turn of mind, I,
the poor menial, shall ever pray for
your long life and prosperity, as well
as your posthumous olive branches.

Most sineerely yours,

OUR ADVERTISERS.

In common with most other pub-|
lications of its kind The Davidsonian |
is largely dependent upon advertise-
ments for its income. It is the men
who advertise in its columns, then,
who really make the paper a possi-|
bility and the student body is in a

yeal sense indebted to them. It is of}
this indebtedness that we would
speak.

No matter how ardent a supporter
of Davidson a man may be. he cannot
reasonably be expected to eontinu- |
ally advertise in a paper which can
bring no results. However, if we can
show him that his advertising really |
pays. it will be no trouble to retain |
his advertisement. We believe that |
advertising in The Davidsonian does)
pay and we are calling on the student
body to help us prove this fact. Here |
is a sure yet simple way of showing
your college spirit and supporting |
your college paper.

Notice the advertisements in the
columns of The Davidsonian and pat-
ronize its advertisers. When in Char-
lotte do not go to the store, restau-
rant or hotel which refuses to adver-
tise in your paper, but to the man who

BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS

THE Y. W. C. A. BUDGET.

Many of us do not realize what a
wonderful work our Agnes Scott Y.
W. C. A. is doing. We know that it
provides many helpful and interest-
ing lectures, suggestions as to choice
of vocation, many good times, etc.
We feel that we could not get along
without the Y. W. C. A. on the cam-
Yet we do not often realize how
extensive is its work.

Tuesday morning in chapel its
work was presented to us and an op-
portunity given to every member to
support this splendid organization.
The Y. W. C. A. has always depended
on yoluntary subscriptions. The
money might have been added to the
general student budget, but the Asso-
ciation felt that it would mean more
to each girl if she contributed of her
own free will, In other words, as Dr.
Erdmann explained, we are to be
stewards who shall take advantage of
an opportunity. The members of the
Y. W. CGC. A. have always responded
generously to the presentation of the
budget and this year, we are sure,
is to be no exception.

The budget consists of the expenses
of the Association for the year for
both local and general needs. Here
in college each department of the Y.

W. has various expenses which have
to be met, and each department is
helpful in its own way. For example,
some of the social service fund is
used for a summer school scholar-
ship.

Beside the local expenses the Y. W.
Cc. A. has a general fund which is
far-reaching indeed, even to Korea,
Where some of the money goes to
help support a missionary, Miss
Emily Wynne, an old Agnes Scott
girl, is aided in her work by the girls
back home. We also have a part in
keeping up a Foyer in South America.
There are seven colleges in the
Orient to whose support American
students contribute $100,000. (Do
not be alarmed; we give only 1/4,000
of it.)

Nearer home we have Nacoochee.
a mountain school, in which we are
all interested. The budget assists
girls to go to Blue Ridge, and another
provision helps girls through college.
For several years this college loan
fund has been growing, for each year
$50.00 is added. The sum is now
$300.00. The Association each year
brings to us a speaker who can talk
to us about Christian fundamentals.
The National Y. W. C. A. dues are
provided for and a fund for sending
delegates to conventions. Beside

these we have an improvement fund.
This
adding to the attractiveness of the
cabinet room, day students’ rest room,

THANKSGIVING JOYS

HOW MISS AGNES SPENDS
THE DAY,

To some Thanksgiving means a de-
licious turkey dinner; to others, a
football game; and to others yet, a
gala holiday in which to meet friends
and to take in the town, so to speak,
What does it mean to you? How are
we Hottentots going to celebrate? '!

Well, to begin with, we start cele-

asleep), all will be well. So with
rules off for the night before, Thanks-
giving ought to begin better than any:
day yet. |
But in all our festivities let’s not)
forget the significance of the day.|
Let us prove worthy of our Pilgrim
ancestors, who gave the first Thanks-
giving feast many years ago in New
England with the Indians as guests.
With this fundamental idea in
mind, we will spend our first holiday
well. Everybody is going to be happy
and gay. After we have sung a great
deal and worked off some of our high
spirits, as it were, we will be quite
ready to dispose of the turkey, Thanks-
giving’s typical bird. Yes, everyone

tunes that will range from “The

everyone will be happy, so everything
/will be as the old song says:

“It’s always good weather

When pals get together.”

After several hours thus spent,
we'll all go home realizing that we’ve
never had a better time; And we'll
be ready to get up the next morning
with renewed yim and with the deter-
mination to work like trojans. The
best part about this anticipated day is
that it is not a yague, misty dream
lof the distant future, but a real sure
enough day, which comes this week.

HAVE A CHURCH HOME.

Here at Agnes Scott every girl
looks forward to Christmas and the
first of June, and perhaps the spring
holidays. For these holidays signify
a time in which we go to the place
longed for all during the year here—
namely, home.

There are many kinds of homes.
But one that we should all have in
mind here at school is the church.
Therefore one and all should affiliate
with some church, either in Atlanta
or Deeatur. The church with which
we affiliate should be our church
home,

Don’t think of this church affiliation
as a bore.
think of all the advantages. In the
first and foremost, if you go to your
affiliated church as regularly as you
do at home, why think of all the good
people you can meet. And who knows
what the outcome of the acquaintances
may be? Perhaps some invitations
out for dinner or supper, or even for
the week-end. And think of the many
people these invitations could come
from.

Then if you affiliate with a church
you don't feel lost when you go to a
city church on Sunday. There is a
feeling that you belong in that church
as much as anyone else. And that is
a feeling we all like to have—of be-
longing.

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL)

Dear “Alumna”:

I really hayen’t a thing to write
you this wéek, for everybody has
been too busy to allow romance to
enter into their schedule, and you
know romance is my favorite topic in
writing. I, myself, have been as busy
as old Santa Claus, so haven’t even
had a chance to pry around.

V. Ordway, however, in spite of her
millions of notes, hasn’t been too
busy to talk to someone in Anniston.
Why, Saturday night I was quite
calmly walking down the steps when
somebody—I didn’t know who it was
at the time—came rushing by me at
such a speed that her breeze nearly
knocked me down. I just knew some-
thing awful had happened, so | start-
ed after her, running as fast as my
faithful legs would carry me. But
by the time I got there Virginia was
already firmly launched in a deep
conversation with somebody. Happy?
Ye gods, if it had been physically pos-
sible, I do believe that girl would have
spun on her head like a nickel top. I
thought she rated joy over a long dis-

tance call from “a fine friend,” but

next morning when a special arrived
from the same creature—well, I just
fell out. What on earth do you reckon
he had to say that took a telephone
call and a special?

Yes, Saturday night was very pros-
perous for more persons than one,
Why, Vic Howie was sporting the
best looking man around the dining
room Saturday night. Everybody at
her table made desperate efforts to
vamp him, but shucks! it didn’t do
any good for any of them, for Vic
had too much sense than to bring a
man among so many susceptible girls
unless he was mighty well trained.

You remember Margaret Colville,
don’t you? Do you know that she has
aman so head over heels in love with
her that he never even thinks of writ-
ing a plain letter—it’s specials, spe-
cials, specials—it seems that “Jessie”
just never gets tired of writing. I
hear that Margaret never gets tired
of reading “Jessie’s” specials, either.
I don’t blame her a bit, why I'd al-

most cut a class to get a special.

My dear, you remember the Cotil-
lion Club that
Well, it got terribly active last week
took

started last year?

and in twenty-five new mem-
bers—and I, simple little Freshie—
was one of the twenty-five. I felt like

the doughnut hole when I danced be-
fore that committee of voters. My
feet were as big as elephants and I
did so want to put them in my
sweater pockets. It may be my im-
agination, but anyway I think they
looked at me harder than anybody
else, just ‘eause I’m a Freshman and
can’t help myself. Some of them
nearly turned a “tumble-sets” to
watch my feet, and some nearly went
cross-eyed trying to follow every
movement, but I don’t care for I got
in, and feel bold enough now to even
try out for Blackfriars.

Well, alumna dear, I
meet the committee—oh, yes, it’s all
the style to go there and—talk.

Ever
Your “Freshie.”

ALUMNAE NEWS.

Miss Mary Wallace Kirk, of Tus-
cumbia, Alabama, is here on an ex-
tended visit. As we all know, per-
haps, she is President of the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association. She was

at Agnes Scott before school started
this fall to help with plans for the
Alumnae Building and attend to other
duties as president of the Association.
She is here now on a pleasure trip
chiefly, and we hope to keep her until
some time in December. It is quite
fitting that the President of the Alum-
nae Association will be one of the first
people to stay in the Alumnae House.
She will also enjoy the Thanksgiving
house warming.

When you have been boning and |
boning over the subject you hate the
most or (perhaps I had better say

just one more hour over that huge

failed to work, psych experiments on
yourself, till you see “after-images”
of all your deeds of the day, haunting
the hours of the night; then isn’t it a
grand and glorious feeling just to
turn loose for an hour or so and for-)

to make believe that you're not

ONE WAY FRIENDS.
In every city there are one-way
streets. In other words, thorough-

fares where traffic in one direction,

only, is allowed. Had you ever stop-
ped to think that there are one-way
friends just as there are streets?

Some fellows are
their friends to carry
town for them. Yet when the same
friends want them to return the favor
they are always overloaded or are not
going in the direction of the laun-
dry.

Some boys borrow money off their
room-mates and others. Let friend
room-mate get hard up and want to
borrow some and the borrower is
broke or has a use for what cash he
has.

Thus it goes. I could name numer-
ous examples of how friendship on the
part of some folks has the one-way
signal flying at_al]

It might be wise for the readers to
take stock of themselves after read-
ing this and determine whether or not
they are of the species described.

If you are, there is no better time
than the present to make of your life
a both-way traffic, give and receive.—

FROM STUDENTS FRIEND-
129 East 52nd Street,
New York City.

New York, Nov. 14—The place
|which American students are now
taking in facing and helping solve

| world problems is shown in this state-
ment of Conrad Hoffman, of Geneva,
Switzerland, on the work being done
by the European student relief forces
with funds contributed by college
students of the United States.

“They have given a new grip on
life,’ said Mr. Hoffman, “to 70,000
students who, seeing their own aspi-
rations shattered, were losing faith in
a righteous and just social order.
That European students wield an in-
fluence with their governments such
as has never been enjoyed by those
in America is an established fact.
The feeling of gratitude toward the
students of America established
through this relief movement will
certainly be a powerful instrument in
promoting better understanding be-
tween nations.”

The relief work was carried on last
year in one hundred and twenty col-
leges, enrolling 250,000 students in
\these eleven countries: Asia Minor;
Austria; Czecho-Slovakia; Esthonia;
France; Germany; Hungary; Lata-
via: Poland; Switzerland and Turkey.
Russia will be included this winter.

“In Prague,” said Mr. Conrad,
“nearly 7,000 students must be given
one meal a day and almost as many
need help with boots and clothing.
Two Czech doctors have recently
been added to the relief staff and a
clinic has been opened in the stu-
dentsky domov which takes care of
all who cannot pay for medical help.
During three months 780 have passed
through this clinic and of these 35
per cent, were tubercular. This is
due to wundernourishment and bad
! housing.

“This year the sugar crop, which is
the government’s greatest asset in
Czecho-Slovakia, is a failure, and as
a consequence there is great depre-

”

ployment.”
Students are in a bad plight in
Austria also. There are 29,000 stu-

garians,
Most of them are very _ poor.
6.400 were helped by

The clothing situation is especially
bad. Last year there were 300 spe-
cial cases—students who needed spe-
cial rations of nourishing food. This
number will be increased to 800 this
winter.

least half of the students lost either

a parent or some relative. These
countries have been continually at
war since 1909, so there is great pov-
erty. The colleges give tuition free
to students aided by the European
relief on condition that they do a cer-
tain amount of work, and money is
advanced to help the students with
their clothing. The living conditions
are terrible and the cold is severe,
for houses are not heated.

Since Russia has opened her doors
to relief the desperate situation of
students there has become known.
Every one of them is in need and
everybody is doing manual labor.
The soviet government allows some
students a ration of one pound of
bread and four pounds of meat or fish
a month, but no student ever gets his
full portion. Proven need has been
the only criterion for this student re-
lief work, which has been adminis-
tered impartially without regard to
race, nationality or creed, Of it
Frank A. Vanderlip, the economist
and financier, has said, “No other
work is so necessary to rehabilitate
civilization;” and Secretary Herbert
Hoover, “No greater service can be
performed than keeping alive the
institutions through which the social
recovery of Europe must come.”

Snappy Hockey Games on
Saturday

SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS
TIE FOR FIRST PLACE.

It takes a great deal of courage to
dsty Jack Frost on these cold, win-
try mornings. But Friday morning,
November 11, bright and early (or is
it bright at 6:20?) the Juniors and
Sophomores again met on the hockey
field. If they started out stiff with
the cold they soon limbered up, and
before the game was finished they
fairly radiated warmth and enthusi-
asm. The Junior forward line played
unusually well, breaking successfully
through the Sophomore defense. The
Sophis stiffened in the last quarter,
making their two only goals then,

The Juniors were the winners, with a)

score of 4 to 2,

The following morning, Saturday,
despite the cold, there was another
game between the Freshmen and the
Seniors. Both teams played with
“pep” that soon put an end to the

chattering of teeth and trembling of)

knees. The Seniors won the snappy
contest with a score of 4 to 1.

The game on Friday morning was
the first defeat of the Sophomores,
leaving thent so far tied with the
Juniors for first ‘place, each team
having lost one game to the other.
The Seniors hold second place, and
the Freshmen last.

DAY STUDENT ACTIVITIES.

The day students held their fourth
hike on Thursday afternoon, Novem-
ber 17th, at 2:15. There were about
twenty present. Although there has
been some trouble in finding a time
convenient for most of the day stu-
dents interested in hiking, yet there
has always been a jolly bunch for
every hike, and many of the girls are

tift Shop in Tea Room

THAT PRESENT FOR MOTHER
CAN BE FOUND THERE.

Vit!

Agnes Scott has signed her Decla-
ration of Independence! Under the
guidance of the Alumnae Association
she has freed herself forever from her
pondage to Atlanta stores during hol-
iday time; from the tyranny of the
motormen whose horrid old street
cars simply crawl along when there’s
only five minutes left in which to
reach the campus; from the boredom
of clinging to car straps after a tire-
some day shopping, when you've
tramped all over town without find-
ing that elusive “different” gift you've
planned to give mother. For Agnes
Scott has a holiday gift shop all her
very own. Down in the Tea Room (is
there any Agnes Scott girl who needs
further direction?) you can do your
Christmas shopping while you are
munching an ice cream cone or drink-
ing hot chocolate. There are going
to be handmade collars, cuffs and
yests—the very things you've been
looking for for Mary Ann; handmade
paper dolls that will cause little sis-
ter to squeal with delight; and all
sorts of hand-painted articles which
will rejoice your soul and at the same
time be reasonable in price. Further-
more, as you buy, you may also know
that your pennies will return to you
fourfold. For will they not be invest-
ed in that pride of Agnes .Scott, the
‘Anna Young Alumnae House, which
is going to contain that long-antici-
pated new tea room?

Go, look and order your Christmas
gifts now from the samples which will
be displayed on the tea room counter.

TEAM WORK IN HOCKEY.

“United we stand, divided we
fall.”

Must we confine this old and well-
tried motto to international policies
and world issues, or may we not
stretch it to apply to Agnes Scott in
general, and to hockey team-work in
particular? Have you ever just hap-
pened to notice it’s the united eleven
that gains the victory? The team
which is one in spirit, one in aim,
and one in play is bound to be suc-
cessful. Perhaps it may not be com-
posed of the most brilliant individual
players, nor even the swiftest and
most dashing of goal defenders, but
if that good old team-work is present,
then the rest is easy. If every player
realizes that she is merely a unit of
the whole—a very important unit, of
course—and if she is confident that
in every play she has the individual
support of the team, then most of the
blunders and fumbles that take up
the precious minutes of the last half
when the score is tied and you're
dying to win, can be avoided. You'll!
see fewer fouls, have fewer penalties,
and fewer accidents if you “get to-
gether” and “stick together” through
the whole fray.

And then, too, all good, well-organ-

ized team-work is simply a type of|

true sportsmanship, for the ideal has
been reached in athletics when we

have a team of strong individual play-|

ers—strong in their technique of the
game of course, but especially strong
enough to sacrifice their desire for]
personal glory for the good of the
team. Reach that ideal in your
hockey games, “Pull hard” together
for the team and you'll find that you'll
be more than successful. Take as
your watchword on the field—‘In
union there is strength.”

Dr. Erdmann at Agnes Scott

LARGE AUDIENCES HEAR
HIM SPEAK.

Very few people would be surprised
if they discovered that a professor in
a collegé for men should understand
young men perfectly, but it is indeed
a novelty to find that that same man
understands the hearts and minds of
girls. Perhaps that is why we love
Dr. Erdmann so.

More than one girl had pictured to
herself the back work she would make
up in the extra hour the lights were
left on during Dr. Erdman’s lectures,
| but the back work of each one who
attended the Sunday night talk is
{still undone. He fascinated his audi-
ence by his interesting delivery, the
lucidity of his lecture, and his charm
of manner. Each girl who heard his
| first lecture attended as many of the
others as possible—and it was usu-
ally possible.
| Best of all was the message he
brought both in his talks and confer-
ences. Many girls took advantage of
the conferences and the opportunity
to discuss religious questions with
the prominent divine.

On Tuesday night of his stay at
| Agnes Scott, the Y. W. C, A. gave a
|reception in Rebekah Lobby, where
every girl had the chance to meet

FRIENDSHIP
FUND

Vol. VII

Student Friendship Fund

129 East 52nd St., New York. -

“He who would study now must
be a hero.”

An observer of Russian students liv-
ing as they are today wrote this, ad-
dressing the students of American
schools and universities on present
conditions in Europe. In Russia to-
day it is not so much a question
whether a young man or woman de-
sires an education as whether he can
endure the struggle against starva-
tion and the political conditions which
decide whether he is to be “free” or
not.

“Conditions are now more difficult
than last year,” writes Conrad Hoff-
man, executive of European student re-
lief work. “There is little hope of
firewood for either hostels or private
lodgings, for it has not been collected
during the summer, and probably
many students will be left without any
food ration, particularly junior stu-
dents.”

In Moscow a food ration was set
for students last fall. The second term
it was reduced fifty per cent. and the
following two months only bread and
fish were received. Money was re-
ceived every two months in the au-
tumn term; every four months in the
second term; and withdrawn com-
pletely the last term. The original
food ration included thirty pounds of
bread; twenty-nine pounds of pota-
toes; seven pounds of cereal and five
pounds of meat or fish. The relief com-
mission estimates that the minimum
standard on which a student can live
and study is forty-five pounds of
bread; thirty pounds of potatoes;
pounds of cereal and seven pounds of
meat.

this fall includes first the “‘workers’

ALUMNAE PLAY

Chapel May Have To Be En-
larged.

We take a pride in being proud of
our alumnae. Moreover, they’re proud
of themselves. They have a right to
be. An alumna herself told me that
the very best play of last year was
produced by the alumnae. The same
alumna told me that the play this
year will even surpass the one of last
year.

This play is to be given the night
of December the tenth. It is to be
“Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,”
dramatized by Miss Emma Jones, of
the class of 1918. Everyone has spent
happy hours reading the book and
now we are to have the pleasure of
seeing it cleverly produced by the
members of the Decatur branch of the
Alumnae Association,

The cast of characters tickles our
fancy as much as the play. Miss Lou-
ise Ware, of Decatur, Ga., is to be
Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.
Great things are expected of Mr.
Lewis Johnson in the role of Jimmy
Wiggs. Miss Wilburn, as Billy Wiggs,
will show us that she can do other
things than teach us to “deep breathe”
and rise up on our toes. Miss Frances
Charlotte Markley will give play to her
native wit in the portrayal of Asia
Wiggs. Mrs. Mary Ellen Harvey New-
ton, in spite of her married estate,
will make a very childish Europena.
Miss Emma Jones, who has dramatized
the familiar story, will be Australia.
Miss Janef Preston will make a very
nervous Miz Hazy. Our curiosity is
aroused as to just how Miss Fanny
McCaa will be able to portray one-leg-
ged Chris. Miss Isabel Randolph, who
was once in a play coached by Maude
Adams, and has an interesting friend-
ship with that famous actress (for fur-
ther particulars, see Miss Randolph),
will be Pete. Miss Cousins will have
the role of Miss Lucy, and Mr. Samuel
Guerry Stukes will play opposite her
as Mr. Bob.

The scene will be laid in Mrs. Wiggs’
home, the Cabbage Patch, Louisville,
Kentucky.

COMFORT BY SUBSCRIBING TO THE STUDENT FRIENDSHIP FUND

Student Friendship Fund

Headquarters Southern Area,

410 Palmer Building,
Atlanta, Ga., Noy. 3, 1921.
Dear Fellow-Student:

A letter from Dr. Mott has gone to
the president of your institution tell-
ing how the World’s Student Chris-
tian Federation is trying this autumn
to raise a contribution for the relief
of European students. Letters have
been sent by Miss Blanchard and Mr.
Porter to the Y. M. and Y. W. organi-
zations throughout the country re-
garding the student friendship fund;
and you have doubtless received by
now a sample outfit of the printed
matter to be used in the campaign.
Most schools and colleges will raise
their part of the fund, in cash, during
November. The work should be com-
pleted, if possible, and reports in by
December the first.

As far as practicable the campaign
should be carried on by your own col-
lege people, with the help of the print-
ed matter sent you from the area office.
Additional supplies of literature can
be secured from this office on request.
The work is being undertaken with
the utmost economy; a dollar saved
here will mean from five dollars up-
ward when it reaches the half-starved
students of Wurope. Enlist as your
speakers any students or faculty mem-
bers who have been in Europe recent-
ly or who are notable in the commu-
nity for their grasp of international af-
fairs.

The Student Friendship fund is not
to be placed on the basis of competi-
tive giving. No quotas haye been as-
signed, After a clear presentation of
the distressing needs of the Huropean
student class, the campaign team will
solicit gifts from faculty and students.
If you should want a suggestion about
the amount your institution might ex-
pect to raise, we should say this: It
is hoped no school or college will give
less this fall than it gave for the stu-
dent friendship fund of 1917, and that
every student will give at least the

Calendar for December

December holds for us many sur-
prises. Although our minds immedi-
ately jump to holidays, there are sev-
eral intervening pleasures which will
help us keep our equilibrium until the
20th comes. The list of interesting
things which are to happen is as fol-
lows:

December ist—Dr. Robinson's leec-
ture. Dr. Robinson is one of our
great celebrities, and gave the first of
the series of lectures which we are to
enjoy throughout the year. Dr. Rob-
inson is an archeologist of much note
and Agnes Scott considers herself quite
fortunate in having him.

Still another event came off the
evening of the first. A health
pageant was presented by the Health
Committee. This was quite entertain-
ing and sustained the reputation of the
amusing lectures given by this commit-
tee in the earlier part of this week.

Dec, 3rd—Cotillion Club dance. This
was one of the most attractive and en-
tertaining parties of the season. An
orchestra came out from town, punch
was served, and of course there was
quite an array of beautiful clothes to
complete the program for a real party.

Dec. 10th—Alumnae play. Those
who saw the alumnae play last year
will need no second invitation to at-
tend any production given by the
alumnae. When I tell you that Mr.
Stukes will figure as leading man, you
will be sure that this play can speak
for itself.

Dec, 12th. The science organization
will have its first meeting. As to the
secrets of the new organization on our
campus you will haye to learn them
from some one else. Anything which
relates to Miss McDougall or Mrs.
Rhothard will, of course, be worth
hearing about.

Dec. 18th—Choral Society presents
the “Messiah.” Then, on that last Sun-
day before Christmas, there will be no
use in trying to keep your spirits down
because only two days more and the

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1921

Cold, hungry, weary with years of)

insufficient food, bodily strain and dis-
ease, their moral and spiritual reserve
lowered by the isolation of the suspi-
cion and prejudice which surrounds
the countries of Middle Europe, the
men and.women who were midway in
their studies and preparation for pro-
fessional life when the war broke
out, are attempting to finish their
work and put their training at the dis-
posal of their countries.

Last year the students of twenty-six
countries united their gifts to the sum
of $600,000 to help the students and
professors of the eleyen neediest coun-
tries of Central Europe, bringing re-
lief to 70,000 men and women in 120
universities.

Now we must go forward for anoth-
er year. To put the Student Friend-
ship Fund before American student
bodies will provide an immediate and
practical expression of good will which
will be of immense significance to the
moral and spiritual recovery of the
world. Your’ representatives dis-
cussed this fund at summer confer-
ences, and the student committee has
had resolutions from all parts of the
country urging us to go forward. We
ought to proceed at once; winter in
Europe will not wait; the World's
Student Christian Federation must
carry on its work of relief. We have,
therefore, in co-operation with the Y.
M. GC. A.’s, proceeded to organize the
Friendship Fund.

Dr. John R. Mott has written the
president of your institution in regard
to this matter. Student Y. M. C. A.
leaders have also received word of
these plans, and may I ask that you
immediately confer with the Y. M. C.
A., if there is a Y. M. C. A. in your in-
stitution, and facully members to ar-
range a meeting of representatives of
the entire college from which a com-
mittee may be organized to plan for
the presentation of this appeal.

Dr. David M. Robinsons
Lectures at Agnes Scott

THE GREEKS HAD FUNNY
BONES.

Because of the very delightful lec-
tures given by Dr. David M. Robinson,
of Johns Hopkins, on last Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning, the
Lecture Association is congratulating
itself on the success of this, its first
venture this term, and has hopes that
the other lectures in the series will be
enjoyed as much.

On Thursday night Dr. Robinson’s
subject was “The Grotesque in Greek
and Roman Art,” and he exhibited
more than a hundred lantern slides to
prove that centuries ago Greece had a
funny bone and Rome an almost over
developed sense of the ridiculous, Most
of these slides were made from draw-
ings on vases and vessels. Dr. Rob-
inson said that the love of burlesque
is deep-seated in human nature. The
Greeks and Romans did not haye ecm-
i¢ supplements or humorous maga-
zines, so they vented their love of the
ludicrous in caricature.

Most of us were surprised to dis-
cover that the ancient philosophers
possessed well-developed senses of
humor as was proven by what Dr.
Robinson called one of their “standing
jokes,” “Woman is happy but twice
in her life, first when mated, and then
when cremated.”

The Romans especially enjoyed both
personal and political satire. They
originated the political cartoon. It
was a Roman who discovered that you
could most deeply humiliate a man by
drawing a funny picture of him,

Thé"Subjecf Ot Dr. Robinson’s morn-
ing lecture was most interesting to stu-
dents not only of Latin and Greek lit-
erature, but of English also, “Sappho
and Her Influence on Latin Litera-
ture.” Quoting Swinburne, the Eng-
lish poet and critic, Dr. Robinson said
that Sappho was nothing less than the
greatest poet that ever was. He spoke
at length of the great influence which
Sappho’s poetry exerted upon various
ancient and modern writers. Tenny-
son, Swinburne, Byron, Moore, Rosetti
and Addison all came under her spell,
and among contemporary writers, he
mentioned Sara Teasdale, Alan Seeger,
Percy Mackaye, Maurice Thompson
and John Myers O’Hara.

Sappho kept a select school for girls,
Dr. Robinson said, and her business
was to train these girls to sing al mar-
riage festivities. In order to furnish
fresh and high grade words for high-
grade music, she composed much
poetry. She loved her work and her
girls so fully and deeply that for their
sake she mastered the art of poetry
and perfected herself in it as hardly
anyone has since done. She was not
understood in her own day, but more
and more we are discovering and be-
lieving that the great Grecian poetess
was really only a twentieth century
woman whose fate it was to live six
centuries before Christ.

Agnes Scott counts itself especially
fortunate in having heard Dr. Robin-
son and in knowing such a distin-
guished person. Everyone was given
the opportunity of meeting him at the
reception after the lecture Thursday
night. He is professor of classical
archaeology in Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, the editor of Art and Archaeol-
ogy, editor of the Art Bulletin, presi-
dent of the Classical Association of the
Atlantic States and is associated with
several other of the art magazines to
which he contributes articles and re-
views. But perhaps he interests us
most as an archaeologist, since he
has really taken part in excavations at
Corinth and Sardis. He has also made
explorations in Greece and especially
Asia Minor.

STAND BY THE STUDENTS OF EUROPE—WHY?

With few among its young people who need face more than ordinary
obstacles in the pursuit of an education, America feels secure in the con-
stant replenishment and increase of the number of her citizens who have
a trained equipment of mind as well as of heart and hand. But can America
find reasonable contentment in her own extraordinary blessings; can she
feel secure; can she feel assured of the future, when in most of the coun-
tries of Europe the student generation, which means the future intellectual
fibre, is fighting against desperate odds for just that kind of education which
hundreds of thousands of American students are obtaining under normal

and a garment maker. This commis-
sion makes a special study of prob-
lems referring to work. There are
ether commissions in other towns
which are interested especially in
health or education,

Agnes Scott also has two representa-
tives to the industrial commission of
Atlanta. This larger group is com-
posed of all kinds of women interested
in the Y. W. C. A. There is the wom-
an lawyer, the business woman, the
society girl, etc. To this representa-
tive group we feel that our members
have. a real contribution to make in
settling the problems of all girls.

Last Wednesday the industrial com-
mittee had the pleasure and great ben-
efit of a visit from Miss Florence

Agnes Scott Girls Show Apprecia-
tion of Work of Mr. Samuel
Martin Inman.

On Sunday, November the 27th, at
the First Presbyterian church of At-
lanta, a window was unveiled to the
memory of Mr. Samuel Martin In-
man. As most of the Agnes Scott girls
know, Mr. Inman was. probably the
greatest benefactor of the college, as he
gave us Inmah Hall and many other
gifts, in all amounting to about one
hundred thousand dollars. Then, too,
he contributed much to many things
in Atlanta. In ¢oken of these gifts,

conditions and advantages?

Our own future is more closely bent with the future of the peoples of
Hurope than with that of any other continent. Yet in Europe heroic but
woefully handicapped groups are struggling for an edweation. If we fail
to help them how immeasurable will be the loss to us and how convicting
will be our failure to have served as fully as we should the call of friend-
ship and of duty!

America is so rich in educational opportunities that it is hard for her
students to realize the European situation. American students must stand
by Europe in her hour of need. In Central Europe there are 250,000 students
struggling under almost insufferable conditions to gain necessary training.
There are large areas almost destitute of professionally trained men and
women, The further decadence of the intellectual fibre of Europe can be
prevented only through aiding its present student generation. What an
opportunity is given American students to help solve present world prob-
lems. :

It is a well-known fact that the students of today are the greatest single
force in the creating of international good will among the thinking popula-
tion of all nations. Scholarship in Europe is deteriorating because of lack
of books, under-feeding and physical problems. If the American students
ean visualize thousands of students, underfed, housed scarcely better than
beasts, calling for help in the name of common learning and common re-
ligion, they will contribute the amount needed for the Student Friendship
fund.

CHRISTMAS IN THE AIR.

Do you know it? Can’t you feel it?
Doesn’t the faintest little quiver sort
of excite you unaccountably every now
and then? It's the first whiffs of
Christmas in the air!

“Mighty feeble ones, at that,” says
Gloometta, swamped with quizzes and
ubiquitous rain. Of course, Christ-
mas isn't here yet with all its hap-
py-go-lucky gladness! Exams must be,
and must be flunked—eyen Christmas
in the air cannot remove that immuta-
ble truth. But when you're boning
over trig and grinding out Latin prose,
it makes things oodles easier to think
to yourself. “Two more weeks and
then—!”

These last two weeks will creep
snailtike, no doubt. December 20th,
arriving with its proverbial procrasti-
nation, will be “as slow as Christmas.”
Some unseen witch (out of all keep-
ing with Yule-tide tradition) will be
heard to chant in baleful, tomby tones:
“Double, double, toil and trouble,
Strew the school girl’s path with stub-

ble;
Make her quizzes double double.”

But what does it matter? Always
the compensating thought recurs
most opportunely: We forget witches’
dirges and think of that quaint old
ditty that begins:

“Now Christmas is come;
Let us beat up the drum
And call all the neighbors together.”

Lurking in the background of our
consciousness these days and hardly
growing more important are misty vis-

The window, unveiled, was the sixth
of a series of windows that are found
in the Presbyterian church. This
window had as its subject the “Ascen-
sion,” and was very striking and beau-|
tiful in its portrayal of the ascending
Christ.

Dr. Gaines gave the unveiling pray-
er, and as Mr. Inman was such a
staunch supporter of Agnes Scott, it
was very fitting that the president of

ing women in industry and in visiting

the students feel that the industrial
girl and student should work together
for the interests of both since the in-
terests of both are the same. Per-
haps we have had a certain interest
in people of the industrial world be-
cause of our study of economics and
sociology. But now through our Y.
W. CG, A,, we can have a real humane
interest in them, and a feeling of fel-
lowship toward them.

Not only is the Agnes Scott Y. W. C.

branches of the organization, but it is
seeing that it has the same Christian
ideals that are true of the Y. M. C.

I weuldn’t dare to even try to tell
you how terribly busy poor old Cupid
has been this week, Why, everybody on
' the campus has been just “thrilled to
death over his coming up from home,”
and, why, the gang of girls who have

door “to go in town to lunch with
him” would make an army. Between

HEALTH PAGEANT.

Since early fall we have been hear-
ing whispers at Agnes Scott of ‘Health
Week,” and last week we all enjoyed
the many talks, tableaux, pageant and
other things that reminded us that)
health is our greatest blessing, and
the thing that we should guard more)
closely and to which we should give)
more attention than anything else.

One of the most enjoyable features
of health week was the pageant given
Thursday night. The story opened
with an old man, the keeper of the}
sands, trying to erase the black spots |
on the white road of time. While he
was doing this, a little child came
along and asked him why he was clean-
ing the road; why it was dirty, and
why he tried so hard to keep it clean.
The old man pointed -te some dark
shadowy figures standing on the side
of the road and told the child that the
dark spots were left there by those
people—Hate, Dark Days, Cloudy
Moods and Unhappiness—and that if
he did not keep the dirty spots cleared
away that he would not be able to
walk on the road of time. While the
old man was talking to the child,
Health appeared in the distance with
Beauty on one side and Happiness on
the other. Why asked who she was
and when Health, Beauty and Happi-
ness came nearer, Health told Why
that she was the instigator of Beauty
and Happiness, and that they could
not live without her and she also told
Why that if she would follow her
directions she could have beauty and
happiness. Why was unwilling to
follow Health’s directions because she
would have to give up selfish things,
so she turned away from her. Health
left and before she was out of sight the
dark shadowy figures crowded around
Why and begged her to come with
them. Why was frightened and
broke away from them and ran and
fell at the feet of Health and asked
her what she could do to be a true
follower of her. She told the child
again that she must be unselfish about
little things, think of others and al-
ways be considerate of other people.

The different features of health
week have only reminded you of things}
that you must and can easily do to re-
ceive this greatest blessing of all, and
it is left to you to do these things.
Let us all strive to make every week
of our lives a week of good health.

SCIENCE CLUB ORGANIZED.

The members of the elective classes
in mathematics, physics and astrono-
my, met on Monday evening, Noy. 28,

| for the purpose of organizing a science

club at Agnes Scott. The need for
such an organization has been felt for
some time, but for the past few years
we have not had one. Miss Howson
Miss Gaylord and Mr. Rankin told the
girls about clubs of this kind to which
they had belonged in other colleges
and universities, and gave us fine sug-
gestions for attractive programs at the
meetings. It was then unanimously
decided that we form this club, and
the following officers were elected:
Mary Barton, president; Elizabeth
Hoke, vice-president, and Emmie
Pickland, secretary. It was then de-
cided that the club meet once eysry
month, and that the programs should
be interesting and entertaining, as
well as instructive. The club was
named after a very distinguished wo-
man mathematician, Agnesi, an Ital-
ian.

DR, WOOD VISITS AGNES

SCOTT.

Gives Reading Of His Poems Dur-
ing The Chapel Hour.

It is not often that we have the

pleasure of hearing a poet read his

own poems, but on last Wednesday in

Dr. Wood read several of his own
poems. Dr. Weod, as Dr. McGeachy
told us, is a former schoolmate of Dr.
Gaines’ and is a Presbyterian minister
of Baltimore, Maryland. Many of his
poems, which have been published in
the Atlantic Monthly. Harper's and
many other of the leading magazines,
have probably been read by some of
you.

Reading poetry is a pleasure, but
hearing poems read by the poet him-
Dr.
Wood read as his first selection for us
his beautiful poem abont “Grandmoth-
er’s Hair.” He informed us before
reading his poem with this adyice in
the last line, “Go, Maiden, go and
dance,” that he was an orthodox Pres-
byterian and that the advice was pure-
ly figurative, but the poem, we think,
was lovely. His last poem, the talk |
between an angel and_a man, was beau-
tiful and left a thought in everyone as
to how thankful we should be for the |
sorrows as well as the joys of this
world, Agnes Scott was charmed with
both Dr. Wood and his poems and we
hope that he liked Agnes Scott enough
to pay us another visit.

piness. Nowadays it’s the swallow.

SECOND FLOOR

NEW FOLIO MEMBERS.

The fateful Friday has passed and
nearly two months ago, too, leaving in
its wake four “brand” new members
of Folio. Some said the door of Folio
didn't swing wide enough to let in any-
one, but those who knew nodded their
heads sympathetically and remarked:
“Tt takes time to write a story and
time is something a Freshman hasn't.”
But several hard working little Hot-
tentots did take the time to set down
on paper some of their romantic and
humorous views of life. No doubt it
was hard to work on an old story
When some others downstairs were
proclaiming that their “bones were
gwine to rise agin.” Nevertheless the
stories were written.

Next morning in the mail boxes of
four of these girls were the nicest,
most mysterious looking notes that
said in a polite way that the ladies
to whom they were addressed were
now members of Folio.

Larsen Mattox, Elizabeth Cheatham,
Georgia Mae Little and Margaret
Wood secured these notes, and such
squeals of delight and singing of
songs that did take place! What dig-
nified and important beings they were
to be. They wrote home about it; they
told their roommates; they told their

“dates’’; they told everybody.

The old members sat around smiling
slyly and watching their joy. The new
members think of the joy of being
in Folio and have forgotten initiation.
But it’s coming, and if the little birds
whisper correctly, it’s coming before
very long, Then, will the squeals and
songs be those of joy, we wonder?

Anyone who can write a Folio story
ean stand initiation. Who wouldn't
suffer a little just to be able to bear
a Folio pen? When it’s all over the
new members will have much to say
on the subject. ‘Til then, “luck be
with them!”

ing is not “sound sleeping’; it’s “sheet

BASKET-BALL BEGINS.

With Thanksgiving and the last
hockey game past, the athletic world
of Aggie turns its attention to bas-
ket-ball prospects. The first game of
the season is planned for some time
in the week of December 12th, proba-
bly Wednesday night. With that goal
in view our very badly-treated basket-
ball begins to be knocked about again.

Practice began in earnest last week,
showing at even this early stage good
speed and endurance. The Freshmen
seem to have worlds of fine material, |
so much so that it will be difficult
to pick a team, The other classes
have their regular players from last
year, but would be much benefitted
by some new _ prospects. Moral: If
you have any taste for basket-ball
come out to practice, and if you have
never played before come just the
same. You may get on the team!
Regular practices are posted on the
athletic bulletin board. Let's back
our classes with all the energy and
pep and spirit we have and make of
the basket-ball season a great big suc-

cess.

ALUMNAE PUT UP GOOD
FIGHT VS. STUDENTS IN
BASKET-BALL.

“Here we come, decrepit and glum,
we are all on the bum, you see, limp-
ing footsteps and toothless of gum,
we're not what we used to be!”

Even though the Alumnae (nine
members), came limping into the gym
Friday night, singing the aboye re-
frain, they afterwards proved that
they were the most non-decrepit bunch
out of captivity. They challenged a
team representing the student body
to a basket-ball game, the night after
Thanksgiving at 9 o'clock. On the
battlefield these valiants proved that
their limping was all camouflage.

This was one of the hottest, peppi-
est games ever played in our old gym.
Rooters, spectators, fans, etc., were
there galore. Nancy Evans, the able
cheer leader, fired the student body
with as much enthusiasm and spirit
as Tech showed at the Auburn game.
The younger generation were spurred
to victory, which left the final score
36-84, much to the delight of the stu-
dent body,

The lineup was as follows:

SOPHOMORES WIN HOCKEY
CHAMPIONSHIP.

Defeat the Juniors By a Score of
3 to 2,

On Thanksgiving morning at nine
o'clock, before the biggest audience of

the hockey season, the Juniors and

the Sophomores played off the tie for
first place.

After the Junior victory over the
Sophomores some weeks back, which |
left the two tied in the race for first
place, every hockey fan was wonder-
ing whether the Freshmen could de-
feat their sister class in the 6:20
game on Tuesday, November 22, or
whether the Seniors could win their
game with the Sophomores the next
morning, and thus break the tie. The
athletic atmosphere was decidedly in-
tensified when the Juniors came out
victors in a close 3-2 contest and the
Sophomores won their game 5-1. In-
evitably there was to be a Thanksgiy-
ing match between the two equally
matched teams,

Despite a cloudy sky and a field
still slick from heavy rains, every
player was ready and eager for the
whistle to blow. The contest was
very close and exciting. End of the
first half found the score 1-0 in favor
of the Sophs. The Juniors soon made
a big leap, however, and the last
minutes of the game found the score
2-2. Good fortune threw a goal in the
path of the Sophomores, leaying the
score 3-2 in their favor and giving
them the hockey championship. This
was perhaps the hardest-fought and
best-played game of the season, re-
flecting credit on both teams.

The hockey season has been won-
derfully successful this year. Every
team, whether winning or losing, has
put up a good game and shown a true
athletic spirit. Though the Seniors are}
in third place they smile when they |
remember their Sophomore sisters are
first, and though the Freshmen hap-
pen to be. last--his-year they think
of the Juniors who came out second,.
and more than that, they look for-
ward to a run for the championship
in 1922.

faculty.” The ‘“workers’ faculty” is
supported by the government and is
for the preparation of working people
for universities or technical high
schools. There are special classes for
illiterates. Secondly there are those
students recommended by the govern-
ment party in power. The third class
must compete in examination for the
few remaining places. Second class
students have no state duties and must
work for their living, so that they
have very little time for study. Other
students have neither the right or
time to earn money privately by work.
All students in medicine, agriculture
and technical courses are required to
do a certain amount of work for the
State,

The shortage of lodgings also is seri-
ous. Students live in hostels where
they do all the work themselves with
as many as ten together in one room.
The temperature was from two to
twelve degrees (Reaumur—freezing
point 0) in these places all last win-
ter, while a temperature not below
10 degrees is necessary for normal
health. The students suffered from
lack of fuel and many who could not
find lodgings had to leave Moscow and
discontinue their studies. In other
cities outside Moscow the students re-
ceive even less from the government.

Because Russia has opened its doors
to assistance this winter, the Euro-
pean student relief organization is
making a special effort to meet de-
mands, The outstanding fact is that
Russia is in desperate need of stu-
dents. Since 1914, 30,000 physicians
or one-third of the country’s medical
personnel have died as a result of war
and pestilence. Two Russian univer-
sities, Samara and Saratoff, are in the
famine area and several others in the
partial famine area.

Students of no country are in great-
er need than in Russia, relief reports
show, and there is no country in
which it is more important that lead-
ers be educated and encouraged in
right thinking and the spirit of inter-
national friendship. Relief for the
Russian universities is included in the
appropriation for European student. re-
lief now being raised in the schools of
America. This is the $500,000 Stu-
dent Friendship Fund to which every
student in the United States will be
asked to contribute this month.

THE JUNALUSKA WRITERS’
CONTEST,

Ye writers, take notice! It’s all
very well to dream of living a life of
picturesque poverty in a garret, but
that sort of thing is out of date, you

blers (gifted and otherwise) is “shek-—
els!” Here is an opportunity to win
a sizable sum along with literary lau-
rels, Read about it:

We have girls at Agnes Scott who
‘can write and who like to write. It
is perfectly possible for some of them
to rank creditably with other writers
entering the Junaluska writers’ con-
test, concerning which Agnes Scott has
received formal notice. Think of the
joy of seeing one’s story published,
not to mention $20 or so added to one’s
meagre pecuniary stipend!

The Junaluska writers’ contest is
staged by the Junaluska Woman's
Club, and is for the purpose of giving
amateurs an opening and discovering
original talent. The prizes to be of-

HAPPY
NEW YEAR

No. 11

Alumnae Present “irs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch”

MUCH CREDIT DUE MISS EM-
MA JONES.

Flourish! Drums and Trumpets!
Enter Ye Alumnae Players of Decatur.

In “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch,” presented Saturday evening,
December tenth, in the Chapel, the
Decatur Alumnae “done done deyse’f
proud’—to appropriate Mary Cox’s
felicitous phrase. The play was in
all particulars an unusual success.

Firstly, be it said that especial
thanks and credit are due Miss Emma
Jones (alias Naney) whose clever pen
developed the far-famed story by
Aliee Hegan Rice into a most charm-
ing play, The book was not at all
adapted to dramatic presentation;
certain scenes must be selected, cer-
tain incidents omitted, others sup-
plied, and the whole wedded into an
acceptable drama-ette. All this was
accomplished with delightful effec-
tiveness.

“Mrs. Wiggs,” as Miss Jones told us
one morning last week in Chapel, was
a tale of combined gladness and sad-
ness. “Happiness thrust thru with
sorrow” was the intriguing motive of
the play. Verily “twas true. The
varying vicissitudes of the Wiggs’
household brought forth from an en-
tranced audience tears and laughter
and giggles and sighs. It was most)
diverting, too, to see our esteemed
and revered facnitv in unwonted roles
and attitudes. Mr. Dieckmann played
some jazzy dance music (as adver-|
tised); Miss Wilburn divulged some)
interesting ideas about bread and)
soup; Janef Preston, heart-rendingly |
lacrimose, offered profound views on
matrimony; and Mr. Stukes was seen
to make love most soulfully.

Conspicuous among the various lumi-
naries of an all-star cast, was Miss
Louise Ware, who played ‘Mrs.
Wiggs” to perfection. Her delightful |
interpretation of the role impressed |
that good lady’s cheery philosophy,
which she sums up thus: “It ain’t no!
use putting up your umbrella till it
rains, There ain’t no use dying ‘fore
your time comes. Looks like every-
thing in the world comes right if you
wait long enough.”

The cast of characters was as fol-
lows. It will be observed that much
illustrious Blackfriar talent appears
in the ranks of the Decatur Alumnae.

The war memorial fund that the
University has been working on for
the past month has been oversub-
scribed. The goal of $1,000,000 by
Armistice Day was reached and sur-
passed, the Red and Black stating that
at the last report $48,000 over the mil-
lion mark had been subscribed. The
end in view for which the fund was
sought is the better provision for
buildings, equipment and the instruc-
tors’ salaries. A notable occurrence
connected with this drive was that
when its success had been announced
Chancellor Barrow, of the University,
seized a freshman cap and tore toward
that college bell, there to make the
welkin ring for quite a time—Hmory

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OF-
FERS PRIZE.

Well, girls—you're all going home
for Christmas and you're thinking
about what you're going
Mother and Dad and Johnny and
Aunt Mary and Little Sister, but have
you thought about what you're going

to give

to give Agnes Scott? Just imagine
poor old “Aggie” up here all alone at
Christmas time, with all her children
gone and not even a visit from Santa

Claus to look forward to. Don’t you
know she gets lonesome? So I have
a nice little plan for you. Let's all

get together and surprise her with a
shower of just what she needs most—
and that is—college songs.

She really needs them badly and
tho’ you may think just at present that
*A few more days till vacation” is
sufficient, just remember that soon it
will be months till vacation and we
won’t be able to sing that with much
pep and we’ve “Whooped ’em up” till
we can hardly whoop any more. Age
may improve time and friendship—
and sometimes songs, but while we
still love the old songs things are
lots livelier when we haye some new
ones occasionally.

So please give Agnes Scott a new
song for a Christmas present—and
if you do there’s a nice secret. The
Athletic Association offers a prize of
five dollars to the one who writes the
best song, so your gift might turn out
to be “bread cast upon waters.”

While you’re enjoying Christmas
Agnes Scott is blue,

Because her many children
Are far away ‘tis true.

Just think how very lonesome
She’ll be on Christmas Day—
So write a song for Aggie
And drive her blues away.

Poems of Sapho Which
We Wish to Remember

After hearing Dr. Robinson’s lecture
on Sappho, some of us decided that
Greek is not so dull after all, and
that it might be interesting as weil
as profitable to know a little of that
much maligned language; while those
of us who knew even a little of it
felt more than ever superior to our
less enterprising fellow students who
had never had the pleasure (?!) of
studying Greek. But even if we can’t
read Sappho’s lyric in the original, we
can read translations of them that
make us realize that Sappho is indeed
a writer of “immortal verse,” and
understand how to the Greeks she
was “the poetess.” Here are some
fragments which Dr. Robinson read
in his lecture, which he thought would
particularly charm us:

“7 have a fair daughten with a form
like a golden flower, Cleis the be-
loved, aboye whom I (prize) nor all
Lydia nor lovely—”

Literal of Sappho's lyric No. 85.
“T have a child, a lovely one,
In beauty like the golden sun
Or like sweet fiowers of earliest

bloom;
And Cleis is her name, for whom
1 Lydia’s treasures, were they mine,
Would gladly resign.”

J. H. Merivale.

"The silver moon is set;
The Pleiades are gone;
Half the dark night is spent, and yet
[ lie alone.”
J. H. Merivale’s adaptation of
Sappho’s lyric No. 52.

Alan Seeger uses this in his “Do you
remember once

Under the western seas

pale moon settles

Pleiades,

The firelight sinks; Outside the night

Winds moan;
The hour advances and I sleep alone.”

Santa Claus Will Visit Main
This Year
CHRISTMAS DINNER IN HOME
ECONOMICS BUILDING.

We wonder if there are any girls in
the college community who are not |
aware of the fact that Christmas is
coming. There are two reasons why
we are all so thrilled over the idea
and knowledge. First, because it will
bring two weeks of rest and fun. If
it is not rest, it will at least be a
time for a different kind of work from
what we are now doing. And then we
can go home. That is, the most of
us can. There are a few whose homes
are so far and time so short that they
find it useless to try to go home. So,
very quietly they are going to stay
here in good old Main.

Although Christmas will not be what
it would be at home, these few girls
are planning to enjoy their holidays to
the utmost. They will all live in Main
and will do co-operative housekeeping
in the way of eating and drinking in
the Home Ec building. There will
probably be just enough here to make
the crowd seem like a house party.

But there are some conditions under
which one can remain here. The first
and foremost is registration with the
Dean. This is extremely important
and should be attended to immediate-
ly, if not sooner. The second is that
one moves over to Main building into
rooms left yacant by other vacation-
ers. The next is that one does not
eat too much and so get sick, for this
is a vacation for Miss Dougherty also.

So now, let’s ali give three cheers}
for the girls—and faculty—who intend
to make old Main ring with their
Christmas greetings.

AT PARTING.

He spoke to me in softest tones
And, leaning low above my chair,
He slipped his arm around my neck;

I was too desperate to care.
I felt his gaze upon my mouth
And—well, hear the shocking truth;
I tightly closed my eyes, prepared
For him to pull my tooth.

DECATUR NEWS

FOR A STRONGER BOND BE-
TWEEN A. 8S. C. AND
DECATUR.

Decatur forms a very vital part in
the life of the Agnes Scott community
and Agnes Scott also forms an im-
portant factor in the life and history
of Decatur. The two seem to be
rather complements of one another.

The staff of the Agonistie realizing
this have decided to use a column each
week for Decatur news. So often we
girls on the campus use Dec. as only
a place to buy Taus instead of making
it a kind of new “home town.” If
we really become interested in their
social, educational and political events
we will come to find ourselves feeling
more at home in Decatur and with
their worthy citizens.

The Agonistic owes many thanks to
Mr. Pilcher, City Manager of Decatur,
for his interest in this new enterprise.
Mr. Pilcher said, “Put the City of
Decatur on the subscription list for
your college paper. We want to know
what goes on in your world.”

At a meeting of the Board of Com-
missioners of Decatur held Monday
evening, December 6th, a_ street
resolution was passed. The resolution
was to extend Adair street through
the woods to Druid Hills and Ponce
de Leon avenue.

An effort is being made now in
Decatur to collect taxes.

Primary elections were recently
held. The elections were for positions
on the Board of Commissioners.
These are of course very important
positions since those who are chosen
to hold them hold the reins of the
affairs of the City, R. E. White, Mrs.
James Campbell, John A. Campbell
and Homer F. George were the candi-
dates. The last two were chosen to
run in the regular election which will
be held on the 7th. It is interesting
to note that a woman was on the
Primary Ticket. Mrs. Campbell lives
in the first house on the right on
Church street as we come from the
underpass. Stop and notice the home
of the celebrity sometimes, you who
have lofty political aspirations.

The P. T. A. of Decatur High School
held its regular meeting in the gym
of the new High School on last Thurs-
day. The “Cecilian Trio” from Agnes
Scott rendered a very interesting
program. Miss Dorothy Keith at the
piano, Miss Mary Jarman with the
fluet and Miss Pochahontas Wight
with the violin form the trio. The
program was as follows:

Trio—
By the Waters of Minnetonka
Theodore Lievrnwce,
Gondoliera from Venetian Suite
Ethelburt Neylir.
Violin Solo—
Andantino from
Deluge”

Prelude to “The
Camille.
Two Vocal Solos—
By Mrs. Bailey, of Decatur,
Accompanied by Mrs, Christy.

An address by our own Mr. Stukes
elosed the program. Mr. Stukes
talked on the connection between P.
T. A. and preparation of students for
the colleges.

The D. A. R.’s_ will hold their
regular meeting Friday morning,
December 9th. They held a delight-
ful social meeting last Friday.

A reception was held at the U. D.
@. elub rooms for the new Baptist
pastor, Mr. Haymore. He has been
receiving a warm welcome from those
of his own flock and the other citizens

jin Decatur.

Agnes Scott has a new -grand-
daughter in Decatur. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Scott.
It will be several years before the
young lady can claim Agnes Scott
as an Alma Mater, too, but she will
be very welcome when she comes.

The members of the Presbyterian
church were hosts and hostesses to
the Agnes Scott girls for supper last
Sunday evening, After a lovely,
homey Sunday evening supper the
girls were taken to church. The
people can never realize what a happy
memory they have made for us.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING.
‘Twas the night before Christmas (holidays) I was packing my trunk

with sweaters and presents and all kinds of junk—my chemistry book
that I meant to review, which I knew in my heart that I never would do;
with presents for people I never had seen—half-cousins and in-laws, you
know what I mean; boxes of mouchoirs I packed by the score, and I fervently
wished I had purchased some more. Everybody was stirring, including
the rat, who was eating the straw off my last summer's hat. We were
busily packing and singing in glee, while the housekeeper tossed on her couch
sleepily; yet we still shouted on in our young girlish mirth, no happier
beings existed on earth, and then when I'd finished, I locked up my trunk,
I locked up the mouchoirs and chemistry junk. The alarm clock I placed
‘neath my pillow with care, in hopes that the morning soon would be
there. My roommate was nestled all snug in her bed, while visions of
mistletoe danced in her head, but I slept unvisited by visions like these,
she had all the cover and left me’to freeze. ™

So as she expected, I patiently froze, while the cold night winds blew
on my shoulders and nose. When, under my head there arose such a
clatter, I sat bolt upright to see what was the matter. Under my pillow
I reached in a flash, unearthing Big Ben who fell out with a crash. The
hour it was three, and my train left at four. Do you think in your heart
I could hesitate more? The morning was cold, and indeed so was I,
as I put on my hat, kissed my roommate good-bye. The street car arriving,
I hopped on with glee, entirely forgetting my gloves and the key to my
trunk—but what matter, for everyone knows, the truth of the very old
saying which goes—

“Qhristmas arrives only once every year.

Let every one have spirits brimful of cheer.”

Yes, Christmas is with us and ever will be as long as there stands
one lone cedar tree, as long as there are stockings to hang on the wall,
and someone to fill them with goodies and all the gifts that make joyful
the heart of the owner, and make blessings descend on the head of the
donor,

JOHN. McCORMACK AT THE
AUDITORIUM.

Great Irish Tenor Delights Audi-
ence.

There is something about a crowd
and a big place and bright lights and
especially about a stage that thrills

every one of us in spite of ourselves.
We must admit—even our civic-
spirited, Atlanta day-students—that
the Atlanta auditorium is not the most
beautiful place in the world and yet
even that bare old building usually
thrills most of us; but what an especial
thrill it gives us when we see John
McCormack come out on its unlovely
stage to sing to us. And so we all
(all that is who were not too busy
with the pursuit of learning, or by
reason of the approach of Christmas
too “broke”) reveled for two delicious
hours Wednesday night, in that great
singer’s voice. It was not, however, so
much his glorious voice that delighted
us as the sort of songs he sang. Of
course we listened in wide-eyed, open-
mouthed wonder to his splendid
rendering of his classical program.
But it was not the program that we’
liked half as well as we did the|
selections that were not on it.
is John McCormack’s encores that
make us all love to listen to him, his
little songs, his folk songs, and (1

perhaps his love songs. We sighed
when he had finally ceased giving us
“just one more,” and pushed our way

last we went to bed in the dark still
longing for more.

AGNES SCOTT HONORED
THROUGH MISS RAN-
DOLPH.

We always did know that Miss Ran-
dolph was the best ever—we could
“tell the world” that. But something
has happened now so we won't have
to tell it to this old planet, for our

| physical director has been elected to

the committee of the Woman's Foun-
dation of Health. This is one of the
most powerful health organizations in
America. It has a large committee,
made up of representatives from the
fifteen leading American colleges for

temple in Salt Lake City, and of a
Buddist temple in Southern California,
made us realize that foreign mission-
aries are needed in America.

Then large factories in Japan,
where industrial workers are needed,
and the Peking University, where
teachers are needed, were shown.
Perhaps we cannot realize that people
are actually starving to death today,
However, when we saw a picture of
a starving Chinese the fact was made
more real. In Africa, too, there is a
dire need for workers. Think of
patients sometimes walking 200 miles
to a Christian hospital, Just one little
African baby out of ten lives.

“Half the world has never heard
the Gospel,” is a startling statement
that makes one think.

MRS. COIT TELLS AGNES
SCOTT ABOUT NACOOCHEE,

Mrs. Coit, wife of the president of
Nacoochee Institute, made an extreme-
ly interesting talk at Agnes Scott last
Wednesday night. Dr. and Mrs. Coit
have been at Nacoochee many years.
As Mrs. Coit has been teaching in
the school she has been thrown in
personal contact with each of the

pupils and knows them all quite well.
As Agnes Scott is taking some money
from the budget each year to support
a pupil there, we are very much
interested in the work that is being
done. She told us all about Nacoo-
chee, first describing the wonderful
scenery around it, and the equipment
of the school. But the boys and girls
were the most important things she
told us about, She explained their
work and duties and described the
life there among these boys and girls.
Besides being a gifted speaker, Mrs.
Coit has a charming personality, and
all of us enjoyed having her at Agnes
Scott.

illustrated
song was given, followed by a short
talk on “Every man’s life a plan of
God.”

After Dr. Erdman’s lectures many
girls felt a need for some definite plan
to aid them in choosing their life work
of Christian service. At this service
an affiliation plan was presented.
Every girl who was interested in find-
ing God’s plan for her life was asked
to affiliate. Under this plan further
study of the world’s needs will be
made in the hope that each girl will
see that she is needed in a mountain
school or in saving people from the
Mormon missionaries, or working on
the foreign field, or wherever her
place may be.

After this lecture an

EMORY MEN AT Y. W. C. A.

On Sunday night the cabinet of our
Y. W. C, A. entertained the cabinet of
the Emory Y. M. C. A. at tea. The
meeting of the Y. W. C. A. which fol-
lowed was led by President Perry
Mullinaa, of Emory, assisted by a
member of the Department of
Theology at Emory and a member
from the Department of Medicine.

The subject of President Mullinax’s
talk was “Soul Winning,” and he made
a forceful and interesting talk on this
subject, discussing Soul Winning as a
passion.

It is to be regretted that more girls
did not receive the benefit of Presi-
dent Mullinax’s helpful talk, Since the
meeting happened to come on the
same Sunday as affiliation day in the
Decatur Presbyterian Church many
of the girls were out for dinner and
so were not present at the Y. W. C. A.
We hope that the Emory Y, M. C. A.
may be present at our services again
soon and be greeted by a larger
audience.

THE AGONISTIC

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL

“Pal” dearest:—
“Just 10 days, 22
minutes till I'll be home, with a capital
H. I’m too thrilled to write. And
then, too, it’s gotten so cold and
Christmasy feeling everybody’s started
thinking about holly and mistletoe and
everything.

This cold weather has had another
happy effect besides the grand and
glorious feeling it gives us cause it
has served as a gentle reminder to
some of the Devoted Ones that the
lights of their lives might be chilly.
You should see Mary Evelyn Arnold
and Charlotte Keesler strutting around
in their new sweaters. They won’t
tell us who sent them, but we feel
quite sure it wasn’t “mother.”

Oh, Aggie! You should haye been
here last week. It was Health Week.
There was something doing every
minute—tableaux, a play, a party and
just lots of snappy little talks. The
thing that impressed me most—one of
the “stump speakers” said, any girl
that had good posture and took care
of her health could get a frat-pin easy!
I can’t wait to try and see if it'll really
work. Some of the girls have tried it
already I think ‘cause I’ve noticed

hours and 36 |

several new pins in the last few days.
Lillian Thompson is the proud wearer
of a new pin. It’s a beauty, too,

Some girls were just born Incky.
Dot and Lib and Lois spent the day
in town the other day and all day
long they kept “open house” for Tech
boys! They must have put out a lot
‘cause the phone pad has been worked
over-time -ever since.

Speaking of the phone pad and
phone calls—Sara Morehouse got four
the other day and all from a different
boy! You should see how calmly
Sara takes it. If I were ever to see
my name up there, somebody had
better call Miss Dougherty ‘cause I’d
certainly faint.

Hazel says it’s awfully good to have
a boy from home out at Tech, I saw
her coming back from town the other
‘afternoon all spruced up. She'd been
‘to lunch at the Ansley with a Little
Rock boy and then to a show. It must
be wonderful. But it isn’t just the
Little Rock boys that Hazel is popular
with. Why the other night she had a
date with a boy from Virginia. Poor
‘me! I can’t even get a date with one
of the Decatur boys.

Everybody had

the best laugh

they've had this fall Monday night at
the basket-ball game between the
faculty and students. We did get a
bit of a shock when we saw Miss
Torrance presiding as cheer leader.
But there were other things just as
funny—Miss Smith playing on a comb
and Miss McKinney chewing gum!
Hyen if we did beat them we'll have
to say the faculty are the best sports
ever. I'm going to keep my eyes and

ears open ‘cause after this demon-|
stration of the faculty’s pep it won’t |

surprise me a bit to hear some gossip
about some of them.

I've saved the best till last. Friday
morning General Foch was in Atlanta
and we had several hours holiday and
went in on a special car and saw
him. Wasn’t that great? Everybody
was so surprised they almost fell over.
Really I think the faculty must have
been sick or some radical change has
come over them. But be that as it
may, everybody’s just thrilled to
death over it,

Mercy, the supper bell is ringing

and I’m starving as usual. Here’s
hoping we don’t have liver! Much
love.

Freshie.

COMING—THE MESSIAH.

Every one has already counted the
days and hours, yes, even the minutes
until time to go home for the holidays

_and too, everyone is saying, Sunday,
December 18th, will be the last Sun-
day, the very last. Thrills in abund-
ance! But the Choral Society, under
the direction of Mr. Johnson, has
another thrill to add to that great
number, and will present Handel’s
“Messiah” to the college community
and all friends of the college on Sun-
day afternoon, December 18th, at 3
o'clock in Agnes Scott Chapel.
Choral Society, composed of numbers
of good voices from Agnes Scott and
men from Emory and Decatur, has
been doing excellent work and is well
prepared to give a most intelligent
rendition of the Messiah. Our own
Miss Bunice Curry will be contralto
soloist, Mr. J, Foster Barnes, of
Emory, bass, and Mr. A. W. Brown-
ing, of Atlanta, tenor, both of whom
are soloists at Ponce de Leon Avenue
Baptist Church, and both of whom
sang in our rendition of the Messiah
last year, will be welcomed by all who
have heard them. Miss Margaret
Battle who came from
North Avenue Presbyterian Church as
soprano soloist will also assist. Mr.
Dieckmann, head of the Piano Depart-
ment, and Organist at the First Bap-
tist Church, will accompany the chorus
on the organ. Mr, Johnson will direct
the chorus in his eustomary excellent
and pleasing manner. Both Mrs. John-
son and Miss Sutphen have done much
toward making the “Messiah” a suc-
cess by playing the accompaniments
at rehearsals.

The program will be as follows:

HOPKINS ADOPTS NEW SYS-
TEM OF TRY-OUTS.

The Johns Hopkins Dramatie Club
has adopted a new system of tryouts.
Formerly the tryouts were all ar-
ranged for the same time, but now
it is planned to do the testing in small
groups. Bach candidate will be re-
quired to turn in to the president of
the club a schedule of his working
houps at’the university. These men
will then be ordered to report to the
“studio” during their spare hours as
per schedule turned in. One of the
‘members of the club will always be on
hand to superintend the trials. Those
/men who do not qualify for some spe-
| cial role will, however, be given work
in the business department or the
|stage managing of the club.—Goucher

LECTURE ASSOCIATION CAL-
ENDAR FOR THE YEAR.

Although this is only the second
year of the Lecture Association’s
existence, it is one of the strongest
and most helpful organizations on the
campus. It is popular, too. One girl
expressed one point of view, when
she bought her ticket saying, “I’m buy-
ing ‘cuts.’” Of course, that is a petty,
contemptible appreciation, compara-
tively speaking. We all realize what
an opportunity we have in directly
hearing the thoughts of the best au-
thorities in the country,

The first opportunity came Novem-
ber 30, when Dr. James Robinson, of
Johns Hopkins, read his lecture on
“The Comic and Grotesque in Ancient
Literature and Art,’ which he illus-
trated with lantern slides. Consider-
ing the sudden out-burst of laughter
in Chapel that night as the slides were
changed, it is plausible to say that
we truly appreciated the “Comic and

On Saturday evening she conducted
an old-fashioned “sing,” which was

present. Her talk at the vesper ser-
vice on Sunday was very impressive
and helpful. She came to Queens

from Winthrop and is planning to
visit other colleges in the South.

“Then fire the janitor.”

Grotesque” part. The following morn-
ing Dr. Robinson spoke in an interest-
ing, enlightening way on “Sappho.”
On February 1, of the coming New
Year, Dr. Edward Devine, Associate
Editor of “The Survey,” will come to
us to deliver two lectures, one on
“Problems of the Pacific and Disarma-
ment,”’ and the other on “Elijah, the
Tishbite.’” He is quite in the lime-
light as a social worker, and has
proved himself worthy of his reputa-
tion by his services during the war.
The latter part of this same month
of February, Dr. Chas. R. Stockard, of
the Medical Department of Cornell,
will speak to us on “Hormones,” a
subject which has to do with the duct-
less glands, about which much has
been discovered of late. Dr. Stockard

has done a great deal in the field of
research. For instance, he has
thoroughly studied the effects of

alcohol on developement, the growth
of tissues, the regeneration of the
lost parts in animals, the cancer prob-
lem, and the origin and development
of blood, It is hoped that he will
deliver a second lecture on the
“Physiology of Development,” which
will be of special interest to students
of Biology.

Sometime in March,

Amy Lowell,

the distinguished modern poetess, will)

come to us direct from Charleston
where she will” have spoken to the
Poetry Society there.
to hear her read some of her poems
and also for her to tell us something
of “New Poetry.”

Besides these definite engagements,
the Lecture Association may be able
to secure one or two more,

dollars.

THE INDUSTRIAL RALLY.

The Y. W. C. A. Rally in Atlanta

was a splendid success. The Agnes
Scott Industrial Commission and
other girls enjoyed a _ delightful

cafeteria supper with the girls of
various Industrial Clubs. It is interest-
ing to know that the industrial girls
sing “Follow the Gleam,” and know
that favorite of ours, “Skinny-ma-
rinky.” After the supper yells were ~
heartily given.

Miss Simms, the National Y. W. C.
A. Industrial Worker, then talked to
the girls on the subject, “Everybody’s
World.” She reminded us of how
likely each girl is to live within her
own little circle and forget that there
really is a world outside. However,
our responsibility outside is very great
for it is the duty of the younger gene-
ration to prevent future wars. Miss
Simms is a most magnetic speaker and
thoroughly understands girls.

Everyone who went felt that they
were well repaid for the time taken
from school activities. The Y. W. C.
A. hopes that more girls will find
time to attend the rallies which are
held from time to time. It is one of
the ways we can enlarge our circle to
include more than the campus and to
aid in making the world truly “Every-
body's World,”

COTILLION CLUB ENTER-
TAINS AT A DANCE.

Gymnasium Transformed Into

Fairyland.
We were all quite excited and

thrilled on last Thursday morning at
chapel when Quenelle Harold invited
the college community to a dance to)
be given by the Cotillion Club on
Saturday night, December 3, in the
gymnasium, for who is there at A. S.
CG. who does not like to “trip the light
fantastic?” On Saturday many were
the bright evening dresses brought
out by the girls. Indeed every one
looked so lovely in the light dancing
frocks of all colors and the gay silver
slippers that one simply couldn’t keep
still when the orchestra began.

We who have only seen the gym-
nasium in gym working order with!
bare walls and “dumb animals” could |
hardly recognize the fairy land of
green and white. The walls were
banked with green; and green and|
white streamers were festooned from,
one side of the room to the other and |
fluttered above the dancers.

Tt was
truly lovely and a beautiful setting for)
the lovely girls in their rainbow;
frocks. The orchestra was wonderful
and kept you dancing until the last
note died away. All during the even-
ing delicious fruit punch from a
beautiful bowl in a lovely green
eorner was served to the dancers.

After many waltzes and fox-trots and
much pleasure, the end of this, as of
all other lovely things, had to come.
The Anges Scott girls and the college
community greatly enjoyed it and they
wish to express their thanks to the
Cotillion Club members for the lovely
dance.

SHOW YOUR INTEREST IN
BASKET-BALL.

It’s almost too soon to talk about

New Year resolutions, but it’s not
‘too late to Start the end of the old
year right by coming to the first
basket-ball game of the season to be
‘Played the week before holidays,
gither Wednesday night the 14th or
Friday the 16th.

Hockey was not favored with very
many cheerers along the side lines
during match games, but with the
audiences of the Alumnae and Facuity
games as examples the gym has come
to the conclusion that it has room
for decidedly more spectators than it
has seen during past basket-ball sea-
sons,

With Christmas holidays only a few
days off couldn’t we show our
energetic, joyous spirit by giving the
players a peppy audience for inspira-
tion? Come out to the game and look
forward to Christmas.

HIKE TO DRUID HILLS.

“Merrily we roll along’’"—it was not
exactly roll, but Saturday afternoon
was such a beautiful, spring-like after-
noon, that the boarders could not
resist the temptation to stroll out

{the other night

| as

Ponce de Leon to Druid Hills and
back. This stroll had the dignified
name of a hike, and although there
were attractions at the neighboring
schools, picture-shows and theatres,
“sobs” of girls rejected their winter
wraps and took part in the pleasant
two hours’ walk.

Saturday afternoon hikes are al-
ways the best for there is that holiday
spirit prevalent—nho need to rush back
and study for the library is closed, and
the next day, Sunday, is a complete
rest day. This hike was no exception
to the rule. Amidst the laughter and
chatter, candy, peanuts and other
favored luxuries were passed back and
forth among the bunch. Give a girl
a holiday, food—especially candy, and
let her talk as much as she cares to;
then, the result is the happiest girl
in the world. Such was the band of)
Agnes Seotters on Saturday afternoon.

A pretty young girl in a fury
Took her case to a court and a jury.
She said Trolley E
Had injured her knee,
But the jury said, “We're from Mis-
souri.”

Mississippian.

The reason it’s hard to tell where
all the pins go is that they’re headed
one way and pointed the other.

FACULTY-STUDENT BASKET-
BALL GAME.

One of the most exciting events of
the college year oecured in the gym
when the faculty
played the students in a well-fought
basket-ball game. Those lucky
enough to get two inches of space in
which to sit were rewarded by a
most excellent view of the faculty pro-
eessional led by “Miss Souz Anna”
(perhaps better known on the campus
Miss Torrance), brandishing a
baton (which looked suspiciously like
a curtain rod), The band was truly
wonderful! Various musical instru-
ments were in evidence, combs, tennis
raquets and castanets being partic-
ularly in favor. Miss Curry presided
at the piano and Miss Goodwin at the
drum. With this pair accompanying
the rest of the band, the music pro-
duced would have made Dick Tope
tremble for his laurels. To the tune
of the song whose words follow, the
team filed in, clad in suitable costume
with one black and one white stock-
ing.

“Played last week,

Played the week before,
yonner play tonight as we never
played before.

When we play we're rough as we can
be

For we are members of the facultee.”

This was only one of a number of
songs which were as clever as could
be.

The applause rose again to resound-
ing heights when the student team
appeared with hair down and toys
very much in evidence. <A _ spectre
clad principally in test papers and
flunk slips headed this procession
and presented to Miss Randolph a
corsage of one flower, which she was
gracious enough to allow each facul-
tee to smell.

The game was very hilarious and
the crowd of spectators were beside
themselves with excitement. The
faculty played extremely well and the
students would not be outdone. No
serious accidents occurred, altho’ there
were several casualties on the side
lines following a wild scramble for
the ball.
parently knocked out in the second
half and medical attention was
rendered by Dr. Sweet; after which
the game proceeded,

The faculty and students had quite
a singing contest trying to prove
which loved the other the most. What
surprised us most was that whenever
the faculty weren’t shouting—

“Who's on the faculty,

A. B,, M. A., Ph. D. and D. G.,

All women,

No men.

Hood and mortar, boards and sheep-

skin”
they were chewing gum vigorously.
Some say said gum was presented by
Miss Smith and others say by Miss
McKinney, but far be it from me to
decide.

Those distinguishing themselyes on
the faculty team were Misses Gibbons,
center; Wilburn and Goodwin, for-
wards; Rothermel, side center: ,West
and Randolph, guards; Laney, Culber-
son and Preston, substitutes.

Junior: There are songs that have
never died. They go riding down
through the ages.

Soph: Yes, and my girl for the

past six months has been trying to
kill two or three each evening, but

When you're feeling sort of blue,

more—

Don't begin to growl and droop,

And say this college life is but a bore!

“Just try to wear a grin!

You'll find it lots of fun

To greet the noise and worry with a

So hold out a glad hand,

Show us you’ve got the sand—

That's the Blue Triangle kind of style.”

DECATUR NEWS

MANY HAPPENINGS IN OUR
LIVELY TOWN,

Decatur has somewhat livened up
34
know things got kind of dull after
the holiday rush, and then, too, what
would Dr. Riley do
make chocolate tans for Miss Agnes?”

Well, we may think that things
were dull in Decatur with us away,
but they were not for political, social
and educational interests—these have
advanced just the same. We see but
one side of Decatur, and that’s the
commercial one, so let us take a peep
around the corner and see what has
happened there.

Mr. P. P. Pilcher, city manager,
has released his report, which shows
a marked move in the right way for
Decatur. The report shows wonder-
ful progress and prosperity in every
direction. He has laid hold to a new
idea in giving this publicity to his ad-
ministration. It will give the people
of the community a greater feeling
that the government is of them, by
them and for them. |

He lays stress on the need in De-
catur of a modern apartment or family
hotel. This certainly is a necessity,
for how many times people that are}
visiting us for quite a while must
stay in a hotel in Atlanta.

A thing which would certainly beau-
tify the city was also suggested, when
he recommended an acquisition for
park purposes of all the land that lies
between the Georgia railroad and the
Btreek car ‘Tine. This would add much

since our return, sO we may say,

if he couldn't

At the PsaRe time Decatur is en-
tirely dependent upon Atlanta for ice
and electricity. Mr. Pilcher’s report
suggests a municipal ice and electric
plant.

Four tennis courts have been made}
by private citizens. This shows unu-
sual community spirit.

The statistics of the report show re-
markable increase in building which
had been practically stopped by early
post-war conditions,

In many instances in the report, Mr.
Pilcher makes interesting little com-
ments and one of them is that De-
catur is sorely in need of a chamber
of commerce. Very few towns the
size of Deeatur are without them.

And then socially—

Mrs. P. H. Jeter entértained the
Agnes Lee chapter of the U. D. C.
at a luncheon last Friday at her home
on Sycamore street.

A study club of fourteen members
was organized at the home of Mrs.
Ww. A. Sayward last Wednesday after-
noon for the study of modern writers.

There have been numerous card
parties and other social functions such
as the Christmas and New Year sea-
sons call forth.

The Decatur Parent-Teachers’ As-
sociation held its regular meeting on
the fifth of January. The first part
of the meeting was taken up with busi-
ness at which time the reports from
the committees were heard. It is in-
teresting to note that the athletic
committee reported the purchase of
two basketballs. Don’t you know that
made the girls’ hearts glad?

School lunches have been served
every day by Mrs. McMaster. She re-
quested that the mothers of the Senior
class assist her in her work.

Miss Cousins, one of the teachers,
reported progress with the Mandolin
Club.

The plaster casts for interior decor-
ation have arrived and after they have
been placed there will be an unveil-
ing with appropriate exercises.

Then came the social part of the
program. Miss Jessie Watts sang
“Caressema,” by Arthur A. Penn, and
“Lit’l Moon,” by Marshall Bartholo-
mew. Mrs. S. R. Christie, Jr., played
the accompaniment.

curing for next Friday, January
20, the Right Honorable Baron Ser-

lectured on Russia's foreign relations
during the last half century, in the in-

Sergius A. Korff is now professor of
political science in the school of for-
eign service, Georgetown University,
Washington, D. C., and it is an espe-
cial privilege to have him come to us
here at Agnes Scott.

Baron Korff is a representative of
the constitutional democratic party of
Russia and was at one time deputy
governor-general of Finland. He
sought refuge from the bolshevists in
America and has been here several
years during which time he has been
in much demand in the American col-
leges and universities as a speaker on
the manifold problems of Russia. He
has spoken before the American His-
torical Association on Russia and he
has also presided over meetings of
that distinguished body.

He is recognized as one of the lead-
ing authorities in America on the Rus-
sian situation and although he has
been in America for several years he
keeps in close touch with events in
his native land and he gives the im-
pression in his speeches that he is ac-

INTERESTING LECTURES AND
A HOLIDAY!

It is only on regulation calendars

|\that such humdrum activities as exams

are recorded, and since The Agonis-

tic’s calendar contains only red let-

ter days when “nice” things happen,

we find one lone event in the remain-
der of January that is worthy of be-

ing called an event. That is the lec-
ture on the night of the 20th by Baron
Sergius A. Korff, whom the Interna-
tional Relations Club is bringing to
speak to us. Baron Korff was for-
merly deputy governor-general in Fin-
land and as an exile from his coun-
try he is one of the most interesting
of the distinguished foreigners now in
the United States.

But February, on the other hand,
we find, is full and running over with
red letter days and one glance at the
good things in store is sure to give
the inspiration necessary for a cheer-
ful frame of mind even during Janu-
ary 17-28.

February 1—The lecture by Dr. Ed-
ward L. Divine is scheduled. Dr. Di-
vine is a noted student of economic
and social problems and is associate
editor of “The Survey.” His short
talk last year makes us look forward
with greater interest to hearing him
again.

February 4—Faculty play. Thrills!

February 11—This night has been
promised to the Juniors and great is
the speculation as to what is going
to happen.

February 16—Dr. Charles Stockard
of Cornell, is to lecture under the aus-
pices of the Lecture Association. It

MAY DAY

NELL ESSLINGER’S SCENARIO

ACCEPTED.
From the eight try-outs for May
Day scenario, Nell Bsslinger’s was

chosen as having the most dramatic
possibilities. She developed the Greek
myth of Syrinx and Pan, a story well
suited to May Day because of its va-
riety, action, principal characters, and
opportunities for group dances.
Pan falls in love with Syrinx,
wood nymph, who is yery beautiful.
She spurns him, however, but when he
attempts to gain her by force she flees
to be pursued. Syrinx has reached
the river bank when Pan almost
catches her. In her fear she calls
upon Alpheus, the river god, for help.
In answer to her prayer, he turns her
into a bunch of reeds. Pan, still de-
termined to have her, picks up the
reeds. In his disappointment he sighs
heavily through them and hears the
musie—the Pipes of

a

most exquisite
Pan.

But after a while he tires of hav-
ing only musie to remember Syrinx by.
ard so appeals to Diana, who makes
Syrinx a mortal. She is absolutely
without emotion, however, and fearing
Pan, runs away. In the village where
she stays she does not know how to
join in the dance with the others. A
man takes her part, and falls in love
with her. Pan, still wanting her, but
realizing that she will never love him
and that the mortal in the village will
make her life happy, decides to give
her up. He plays on his pipes and
unites the two by his beautiful music.

Miss Lewis is working on the color
scheme and Miss Randolph is giving
much help in ideas. She and Miss
Wilburn are already taking up the

Dr. Divine Brought to Agnes
Scott by Lecture Association

WILL MAKE AN ADDRESS ON
WEDNESDAY AFTER EX-
AMINATIONS.

The Lecture Association is ons of
the newest organizations on the cam-
pus. Already it has offered us one
treat, Dr. Robinson’s two interesting
lectures. It is offering us another
treat on the first Wednesday night
after exams. This is a lecture by Dr.
Divine.

Those of us who were here last year
remember the very interesting and en-
joyable lecture he gave us in chapel
about Russia. His chief line of work
is economics in sociology and he will
present some phase of this subject
tous. Dr. Divine has written a num-
ber of books on sociology which are
very interesting. All the girls: who
are studying sociology, especially
those majoring in it, will certainly
want to hear him, for they will no
doubt study some of his books if they
have not already done so.

Whether we are studying this sub-
ject or not, we will enjoy his lecture,
for Dr, Divine puts so much of his at-
tractive personality into his lectures
that no one could hear him without
realizing what an unusual man he is.

After the lecture a reception will
be given in the Rebekah Scott Hall
lobby. All the girls are invited to
take advantage of this opportunity to
meet Dr. Divine.

The Lecture Association has proved
its worth to the college in bringing
these two speakers tous. There will
be one or two more lecturers in the
elie Amy. Lowell, for one, and per-

ness, “first to Dr. Divine’s te ture, and
are sure that he will speak to a large
audience.

Poetry Club Holds First
Meeting

TWENTY MEMBERS AT THE
PRESENT TIME.

When the announcement was made
jin chapel that a Poetry Club was to
|/be organized, and that Agnes Scott
hereafter was to have budding poet-
esses, everyone gave a giggle. But
this really should not have been true
for by the way the plan has started
out, its success seems sure.

The first meeting of this Poetry Club

was held the night of Monday, Jan-
uary 9, in the cabinet room. Every-

thing was cozy and nice, with a big
fire burning and everyone happy.
Miss Laney presided as hostess of
this first meeting. There were only
two or three absent from the list of
those who had signed to join. It
was an enthusiastic meeting. A
large majority of the members con-
tributed an unsigned poem. Those
were all read and criticize. Miss
Laney gave a short but interesting
talk. In order to help make everyone
fee] at home, Miss Laney, as all good
hostesses do, contributed fruit, nuts
and candy for the sake of pleasure.
To the surprise of the originators
of the club, more than twenty girls
pledged themselves to love and en-
courage poetry. Besides these girls,

there are four faculty members and
two alumnae. So the club is well-
sponsored.

This is a good deed well started.
We all know this, and therefore we
should all encourage and help the
growth of the baby club of the cam-
pus. We are sure that Amy Lowell
will be proud of Agnes Scott when
she comes down.

A list of the members of the club
are:

Faculty members — Miss Laney,
Miss McKinney, Miss Randolph and
Dr. Armistead.

The alumnae members are Frances
Charlotte Markley and Janef Preston,
The student members are:

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS,

THE HONOR SYSTEM.

Agnes Scott girls have always held to the very highest standards of honor
in everything. Honor is our goal and our ideal because we realize its value

do a certain thing, we will think twice before we act definitely, for our honor
is at stake.

The talks given at chapel one morning at the beginning of school reminded
us that not only does academic work come under the Honor System, but
also all various phases of college life.

“Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part—there all the honor lies.”
SOPHOMORE REPRESENTATIVE.

On the very first day the poor little shaky-in-the-knees Freshmen entered
Agnes Scott, they heard about the Honor System. It sounded very mysteri-
ous and awe-inspiring to them then, but they have since discovered, much
to their amazement, that instead of being intricate and complicated, it is
quite the simplest and most intelligible thing in the world. Which, of course,
the old girls knew all the time.

Just because of its simplicity, though, we are sometimes apt to be thought-
less and careless: no one of us would intentionally break a Student Govern-
ment law. In the much-dreaded exams, which are almost upon us now, even
carelessness and thoughtlessness cannot be excused.

We are all so proud of our Honor System that we want to support it just
as loyally as we possibly can. If such a thing can be done, let us make
Agnes Scott even better and finer than it is now. FRESHMAN.

We hear a great deal about our Honor System at Agnes Scott, and we have
one of which we may be justly proud. Our Honor System is the basis of all
our student life, and the foundation of our self-government organization.

Our Honor System extends to every phase of our college life. We have it
before us in our social life, in our relation to our fellow-students and our
faculty. Again, every girl is on her individual honor to perform her aca-
demic work fairly and honestly, and she is responsible for the honorable con-
duct of others.

During the two weeks in which our semester examinations are held, the
effectiveness of our Honor System is put to a supreme test. There is no
other time when the temptation is so strong to get credit for work we have
not done as during this period when the final result of our work is being
indelibly written down. When Agnes Scott girls come through this testing
period, one hundred per cent. strong, facing the world squarely, and with
nothing of which to be ashamed, then indeed may we ‘say satel our student
body is the embodiment of honor.

The high standard of «student honor which our college oi maintained
will not be lowered this year, but we shall leave Agnes” ‘Scott stronger and
better because of our presence and our spirit.

My Dear Girls:

It’s nearly time for you to be go-
ing home for Christmas holidays—the
time will certainly be near when you
get this letter a month from now—
and I haven’t yet sent you a word of
greeting this fall. I am sorry, for I've
thought of you a lot, especially about
the 20th of September, when I thought
you'd all be gathering at Agnes Scott
to begin a new year’s work. I don’t
believe anything is quite as interesting
as those first days and weeks at school
in the fall—new plans, new enthusiasm
for study, meeting old friends, making
new ones—it is a fine time, isn’t it?
And 1 thought especially about the

new girls that I knew would be begin-|

ning life at Agnes Scott and prayed
that college life would be all they
had hoped it to be, and that they’d
soon learn to love Agnes Scott and
be loyal to all she stands for. By this
time I hope there aren't any new girls
but that all feel at home.

As I thought of you all beginning the

and college days are in some ways the

happiest days of one’s life, and I do
hope each one of you W ill enjoy them
to the fullest and make the most of
them, but after all, they are just days
of preparation for one’s life work, and
it's wonderful to be at work and espe-
cially to have a share, though a very
little share, in helping to bring in the
Master's kingdom.

I have been working among the
country people. I do love the country
folks and enjoy being out in the coun-
try. I am out in a little country vil-
lage now holding my last class for this
fall, living in a little straw thatched
mud house, so thankful that my mud
floor heats well and that my walls are

seriously about accepting Christ as
their Saviour.

These days are so short that I’ve
had to write just a bit at a time. The
long fall evenings are not much help
when one has to depend on candle
light. There is only one lamp in this
village, and that’s at the church, but
I'm not living in the church as I have
done.

A few days after I go home our
Bible institute begins and I’m hoping
I can write you about a big class this
year. l’vye been praying to get a good

CATE’S LETTER TO MISS

Thé following is a letter to Miss

Hopkins from Mrs. W. R. Cate, for-
merly Anna Marie Landress, who
graduated with high honors from

Agnes Scott last spring. Thinking
that the letter would be of interest to
us, Miss Hopkins very kindly con-
sented to have it printed in The

seems that every phase of college life!
has prepared me better for life on the
mission field than would have been
possible without it.

As for my studies, they were but
a beginning, but nevertheless a neces-
sary foundation on which to build.
For example, the political situation is
intensely interesting, and my history
courses make it possible for me to
understand many things I couldn’t oth-

Of course, the religious influence
means everything to me. It has the

AND PRYOR

Dear Pal:

Christmas has come and gone but
lots of things that happened during
Xmas haven’t gone. It seems that
1921 Xmas was very, very prosper-
ous for old boy Cupid, for everybody
on the campus vows they are in love.
Why, you can pick out any girl on the
campus and sing:

“Old ain’t what she used to be,

Ain’t what she used to be,
Ain’t what she used to be,
Old —— ain't what she used to be,
‘Cause she’s in love now.”

Everybody is raving about somebody
*at home” and sending specials and
watching the mail just like their lives
depended on them.

And there are enough new frat pins
around here to start a jewelry store in
business. Lois McClure says that Z.
N. pins are decidedly the prettiest
and that Z. N. boys are about the best
anyway. But M. Thorington says that
she’s looney; that D. K. E. pins are
far better, especially when they come
from good blonds with light hair and
blue eyes. She surely does get a
thrill every morning—you know, about
the time the specials arrive for “Jim”
is really very faithful.

My dear, you should see the tea
room. It's adorable. We are all about
to eat ourselves sick as well as break
our slim pocketbooks by going over,
just to feel fine and elegant. I simply
can’t wait to graduate and come back
as alumna and sleep in the guest room.

Pal, darling, you are a better friend
than I ever realized before. You never

try to vamp my lovers from me (ha,
ha, you couldn’t if you wanted to, for
I haven’t any). You know it really
is awful about “Hattie” and “Jo,”
though. Why, “Hattie” has no regard
for other girls’ lovers. Why “Jo” says
it’s terrible the way she just captivates
every man. She says she goes up to a
man, rolls those baby eyes and gives
that famous baby stare with a few in-
nocent sounding words and that is all
that jis necessary. Next thing Jo
knows (now, of course, this is only
Jo’s account) she sees “her man”
disappearing around a corner with
“friend Hattie.” Now you know, Pal,
dear, if that’s so, it’s tragic.

What do you think of a Freshman
getting married? We're awful proud
to own her in our class, but the Se-
niors don’t seem so happy over it, so
we do kinder regret it on their ac-
count. You know it must be kinder
hard on all the upper classmen! Win-
ifred, now known as Mrs. Tompson,
is terribly happy and vows that life
isn’t worth living without a Mr. Tomp-
son. Must be fine, but I’m not yet
tired of independent life,

More girls are sporting new jewelry
around since they’ve come back. They
all say “Santa Claus gave it to me,”
but. shucks! I'm no child, and I know
Santa Claus doesn’t write every day
and bring new thrills with each letter.

but this year they will be allowed to

The banquet is one of the nicest—
we could loudly say the nicest—things
about Blackfriars, and we think it is
good of them to let the new girls
come. Perhaps this will make an
added attraction for those who aspire
to be Blackfriars, but we really feel
that those who beware the dangers of
the try-outs deserve the reward which
they will receive by being given places
at the banquet.

The date has not been fully decided

initiation, and perhaps it will be quite
a consolation to the new members who
are facing all the terrors of initiation
to know that that very evening they
will be full-fledged Blackfriars, in-
vested with the privilege of coming to
the banquet.

Latin Vil Entertains Miss
Smith

NEW TEA ROOM THE SCENE
OF BIRTHDAY PARTY.

On Friday, January 13, 1922, the
Latin VII class entertained Miss Lilian
S. Smith at a birthday supper in the
private dining room of the new Sil-
houette tea room. Miss Tarrance and
Miss Goodwyn were the only guests in-
vited from outside of the class. The
Latin VII class consists of Martha
Stanfield, Julia Jameson, Frances Har-
per, Mary Katherine McKinney, Alma
Seigle, Elizabeth Lockhart, Pearl
Smith, Beth McClure and Nannie
Campbell. The place cards were tiny
books representing the text books of
the class, which have been Terence’s
Audria and Plantus Captivi. Be-
tween courses Miss Smith received a
few significant gifts, such as a tea set
and a boat to carry her on a visit to
her sister in China. The birthday cake
had sixteen candles on it arranged in
a Roman seven. There was much
excitement when the cake was cut, be-
cause the future of those present was
to be decided by the ring and thimble
and other things which were in it. The
color scheme was blue, all the decora-
tions, the candles and the ribbons con-
forming. The refreshments were de-
licious fruit salad, sandwiches, choco-
late cake, ice cream, coffee and
mints. '

This was the first party to be held
in the Almunae Building, and it was a
great success. Everything was done
by those in charge for the enjoyment
of those present. It was a great priv-
ilege for the girls to entertain Miss
Smith and to spend part of an even-
ing so pleasantly with her and Miss
Tarrance and Miss Goodwyn.

Miss Smith, who is a graduate of
Syracuse University and Cornell Uni-
versity, and a member of the Phi
Beta Kappa, has been the head of our
Latin department for a number of
years and has always shown a very

GYM SCHEDULE DURING
EXAMS.

During the two examination weeks
there will be basketball practices from
twelve to one and from five to six
every day. If you want to help your
team, practice can do wonders. If
you just want a good team with no
thought of exams; if you would like
rest and relaxation from study; if
you desire to feel cheerful and opti-
mistic—come out often. You'll be
glad you did.

FIRST BASKET-BALL GAMES.

The first basket-ball games of the
season were played Thursday night,
December 16th. The Sophomores de-
feated the Freshmen 36-24; the Ju-
niors the Seniors, 25-15. The audi-
ence was large and peppy, much to
the gratification of the players.

The Sophomore-Freshman contest
was especially close, though neither
side showed its best team work and
an unusually large number of fouls
were called. This was probably due
to the extreme excitement of the au-
dience and the almost constant cheer-
ing throughout the game.

Spirit is indeed desirable, but let’s
remember the little courtesies of life
and forget to cheer when the for-
ward on the other side misses a goal.

The next game of the season is
scheduled for the first Friday after
examinations, February 3rd.

to arise at five-thirty during the holi-
days. (Though one witness asserted
that the aforesaid had been found
peacefully sleeping at ten on at least
one morning.) At any rate, Miss
Wilburn mildly suggested that she
showed her family her culinary abil-
ity by leaving salt out of everything
one morning and putting a whole box
full in the next!

Of course, Miss Wilburn couldn't
stay away from the campus. It has
been reported that she found the fac-
ulty room in Main where mail is put
very attractive—at least she visited
it on several occasions. We wonder
why?

MISS SUTPHIN AND MISS
CURRY GIVE CONCERT.

On Saturday evening, January 7, at
8:30 o’clock the class in appreciation
of music presented Miss Katherine
Van Dusen Sutphin and Miss Eunice
Curry in a program of Rachmaninoff’s
works. Although Rachmaninoff, who
is noted as the leading representative

of the music of his country, Russia,
appeared at the Auditorium on Janu-
ary 11, the program at Agnes Scott
did not anticipate him. Only his
songs and two piano selections were
rendered. Before each number on the
program, Miss Moses read the poem
which the composer quotes as the
source of his inspiration. The pro-
gram was as follows:

Tears from Fantasia Suite—Opus 5,
No. 3.

At Night (two pianos).

The Island.

Tableau: Water Scene from “Suite”
No. 1 of Opus 5 (two pianos).

Morning.

But she soon became much bored
with doing nothing, so the return of
Aggie was promptly followed by re-
newal of basketball practice, and
soon after by the beginning of gym.
Continual rain was the only hindrance
to the expenditure of still more en-
ergy in chasing tennis balls.

Everybody makes New Year resolu-
tions, so Miss Wilburn was not to be
left out. She made a “revolution”—
as her little niece calls it—to patiently
teach her Sunday school class every
Sunday. On the first of January she
was determined to arrive on time,
vas much
astonished to be among the first. The
family, taking a hand, had set the
clock half an hour ahead of time!

The library is such a nice social
gathering place, but one is always
afraid of disturbing the place; so we
had to let Miss Wilburn return to
the Jap question. Not before she sug-
gested, however. that the Seniors
practice Monday night, January 9th,
was almost broken up because they
had all turned poetic. It seems the
Poetry Club had its first meeting that
night. Hence although Miss Wilburn
does keep up with cooking and New
Year resolutions and the Japanese
question, we have a lurking suspicion
that she cares just a little bit about
athletics after all.

when you go up stairs and see those
lovely bed rooms—just like those at
home—you feel as if you can hardly
wait to get your diploma and have the
privilege of staying in one of them.

Three of the bed rooms have already
been furnished and the classes that
want to furnish the other two had
better hurry up and say so, or some-
body else will have them.

It’s lots of fun to go over the whole

etc. But what we are most interested
in are our own three rooms—the sew-
ing room, tea room and dining room.
The alumnae have gone to a great deal
of expense to have everything just as
pretty and convenient as possible for
us. Let's remember that those hand-
some tables were put there for us,
and not abuse them with our dimes

DECATUR NEWS

MR, PILCHER, CITY MAN-
AGER, RESIGNS.

There has been quite a stir-up in
the political world in Decatur. The
citizens began to think that maybe
the city manager, Mr. Pilcher, was
making the government too expensive

and that they should take some step}

to reduce the taxes.

They, therefore, appointed a com-}

mittee, composed of some of the most
prominent citizens, to send in a letter
to Mayor Dabney, in regard to the
removal of Mr. Pilcher and of the
high taxes.

Mayor Dabney answered these men
with a letter in which he stated that
he was always glad to answer any
questions when they came from pa-
triotic desires and that he believed
that these might be such, although
they seemed to have a slight inkling
of politics about them and of per-
sonal grudges against Mr. Pilcher.

Mayor Dabney’s letter was very
concise in pointing out that the taxes
in Decatur were not higher than in
any other town that enjoyed the same
conditions. He also reviewed the
budget for the year and showed how
everything that had been spent had
been for the good of the town.

Mr. Pilcher has tendered his resig-
nation, to take effect on April
Our best wishes go with him to other
fields of labor that he may take up.
Mr. Pilcher has shown himself to be
a man of ideas and of ability to put
them into practice. In his recent re-
port we find that he has shown a de-
sire to build Decatur up in every way.

He has shown an active interest in
Agnes Scott, in the Agonistic and in
this particular column Mr. Pilcher
said to an Agonistic reporter, “I think
that Agnes Scott and Decatur should
be linked more closely and your col-
lege paper will play an important part
in doing it.”

A mass meeting has been called for
Monday night to discuss the report
of the committee who wrote to Mr,
Dabney.

The Men’s Class of the Decatur
Presbyterian church is making an ef-
fort which should be highly com-
mended, namely, that of getting work
for the unemployed. The after-the-war
wave of unemployment must be coped
with by some one and it does not
seem unfitting that Christian people
should take it up.

The Decatur branch of the W. C.
T. U. met on January 11th with Mrs.
J. O. Norris. Mrs. W. S. King, the
president, presided over the meeting.
There were talks by Mrs. W. F.
Frenchary and Mrs. D. F: Goodrich.
The visiting field officers and the
officers and members of the union in
Decatur were served with a delight-
4ul luncheon. The officers of the
New Union are:

President, Mrs. W. P. King.

Treasurer, Mrs. J. O. Norris.

Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. B.
Stead.

The Decatur Junior High Parent-
Teacher's Association met Thursday
afternoon.

Miss Mary Dickinson gave a talk
on school hygiene. Her talk was well
illustrated.

Mrs. Bothwell commented upon the
good results realized already by a
plentiful use of milk with high school
boys and girls.

Mrs. Patillo, a graduate nurse of
Decatur, with Dr. Barker and another
yolunteer nurse, will make a tour of
inspection among the students of De-
eatur public schools.

The Decatur children are being
weighed and measured. Their condi-
tion will promptly be reported to
their parents.

‘The feasibility of an inter-collegiate
wireless service for the purpose of

ulty at K. U. In this manner colleges

NEW HOASC MEMBERS
CHOSEN,

The Saturday afternéon after
exams were over was a tinie of gen-
eral rejoicing in the Agies Scott
community, but there were three
Seniors who had especially beaming
countenances. Sarah Till, Slizabeth
Wilson and Roberta Love received in|
their mail letters from Hoasec an-)
|}nouncing their election to member-)
ship in that organization, the honor)
above all others to which an Agnes
Scott girl may aspire.

Hoase has two public z#anounce-
ments each year, but this election
came as a surprise to everyyne who
thought that the elections from the
Senior class were over.

These girls, who have so loyally
and cheerfully given their support to
their alma mater are receiving the
congratulations of their frien&s, who
know that Hoase stands for just
such principles as they have shown
to be theirs, in the four college years.

The initiation was held Thursday
evening, and at six o’clock a d licious|
supper was served in honor ¥ the
new members in the lovely dining-
room in the Alumnae House. A num-
ber of alumnae were present, a8 well
as the faculty members, mak the
evening’s entertainment complete in)
every way.

ALUMNAE VISIT THE COL-

LEGE,

"Mid pleasures and palaces,
There’s no place like A. S. C.

are awfully glad they think so, be-
cause that makes them come to see
us and stay with us about a week.

Their short stay was a source of
pleasure to all on the campus-—and
off the campus as well. And if they
‘could have heard all the comments
that preceded their visit they would
be sure to understand how much we
enjoyed them.

The thing, however, that seemed the
best out of their whole visit and the
most natural was Sunday night at
the Y. W. C. A. service. For Peg led
in her own sweet “peggy” way, and
Ellen made a_ splendid talk. She
didn’t seem at all like a school marm
when she made us that talk. If she
makes as good speeches to her chil-
dren as she does to the girls of the
Y. W. C. A. what will be the result!
No one can tell.

Another feature of their stay that
made everything seem right was the
opening of the Anna Young Memorial
House. The receiving line wouldn’t
have seemed quite right without the
alumnae of the class of ’21. It was
a shame that all. of them couldn’t be
here. But we were particularly happy
over Peg and Ellen, as they were
two of the most popular members of |
last year’s class.

One other reason of the overflow-
ing happiness of seeing Peg and Ellen
—oh, don't tell them—was because
they brought with them news of
Charlotte Newton and Eleanor Car-
penter, also of Margaret McLaughlin
‘and Martha Laing. That was an
added happiness, now wasn’t it? And
it is certain that Ellen and Peg were
glad to bring us news even though
they couldn’t bring the girls them-
selves.

At least that’s what Peg and Ellen| M. Potter, Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, Mrs.
think, And we are right with hem. Harold B. Wey, Sarah Alston, Mrs.

ALUMNAE HOUSE WARMING.

For many weeks we had been see-
ing and hearing the building of the
Alumnae House. Now it was com-
pleted and the college beheld the most
beautiful and most attractive building
on the campus, the Anna I. Young
Alumnae House, and Friday evening
the faculty and the students were
formally invited to inspect it. It was
absolutely superb, decorated with
gaily colored flowers. The receiving
line was most hospitable to the guests,
who seemed to harmonize with the
pretty new building, so beautifully
were they dressed.

After seeing the house each guest
went to the all-favorite tea room,
where she was served to delicious re-
freshment. Of course, as it is such
poor taste to “eat and run,” almost
everyone took a final look at every-
thing before bidding everyone adieu.

The alumnae present were: Peggy
Bell, Katherine Seay, Ellen Wilson,
Myrtle Blackmon, Amy D, Glover,
Helen Wayte, Eugenia Johnston,
Frances Charlotte Markley, Janef
Preston, Fan McCaa, Martha Stans-
field, Mrs. Frank Beall, Mrs. Chas,

Student Volunteer Conference!

They are words that have a special
individual significance to those of us)
who have been there. One of the feel-|

ings they bring to us is a great desire
|

that every Agnes Scott girl might feel
that significance herself, might know
from her own experience just what)
those words mean.

And what are the things that give
those words their very special im-
port? The first thing that we feel as
soon as we leave the campus is a
sense of fellowship, close companion-
ship and a more intimate acquaintance
with the girls who make up the com-
paratively small group of delegates
than we have ever felt on the campus
itself. But this first new insight into
the lives and hearts of our school-
mates which seems to come with the
close association of a small group,
and especially a small group on a jour-
ney, is only a foretaste of what is
coming in the Conference itself.

We have seen posters about world-
fellowship on the bulletin board and
heard about it in the Y. W., but some-
times it has seemed a very far-off

It’s too bad there was such bad
weather while Ellen and Peg were
here. But goodness! Why should
that stop their running around and
having a good time? Weren’t they
used to jogging around in the mud
and rain for four whole years at good
old A. S. C.? So why worry! But
we would like for Mr. Sun to greet
them on their next visit.

And now, let’s drink (ice water)
to the success of the visit of Ellen
and Peg! And may it be a longer

this one did! But. we mustn't be
selfish and want them all the time.

that we are just sure we flunked yes-

far-off ideal that has somehow been
floating about in the back of our
brains unanchored by present appli-
eation, brought down to the level of
our most definite, everyday conscious-
ness; and yet it has lost none of its
idealism or its greatness.

For it is not only with the members

AGNES SCOTT DISCOVERS ITS
HORMONES.

Dr. Stockard to Inform Us.

Not only the Biology department
but the whole college community is
showing a rather unprecedented
amount of interest in the lectures by
Dr. Charles Rupert Stockard, which
are to be given on the evening of the
16th and the morning of the q)7th.
The subject for the first is:
ternal Elements Which Determine Ap-
pearance and Behavior, or as iss
MacDougall expressed it, “In Krief,
‘Hormones.’ The uninitiated laity
have a dim idea that a Hormonevis a
sort of gland which resides s@me-
where in the back of the neck. The
exact location is a matter of de@ubt,
but its functions seem vitally impor-
tant sinee—according to the above-
mentioned dim idea—the construction
of the Hormones determines whether
one is destined to star as a genius or
as an inmate of an asylum for the
feeble minded. It is assured that the
necessary enlightenment will come
after hearing Dr. Stockard’s lectnre.
The price of admission will be ‘ifty
cents.

The morning talk will occur in the
chemistry lecture room and is intend-
ed primarily for those who are espe-
cially interested in Biology. The
Georgia Biological Association wil! be
in session in Atlanta at this time and
it is expected that many of its mem-
bers will attend the lecture here Dr
Stockard will spéak on some phase of
growth and development,

It may be interesting as well
as desirable to know a Iitle
ebout whe.

just what is the field of his work
and interest. In 1906 he secured his
Ph.D. from Columbia. Then for some
time he was engaged in investigations
in the principal laboratories of the
United States. He also visited the
chief zoological and anatomical labo-
ratories of Europe. He was professor
of military science and tactics in Miss-
issippi Agricultural and Mechanical
College; he was professor or assistant
in Columbia University at different
times in Embryology, Histology and
Mythology. Now Dr. Stockard’s po-
sition is that of Professor of Anatomy
at the Cornell University Medical
School in New York. He is a well-
known contributor to scientific jour-
nals, both in America and abroad.
The chief studies and investigations

in which Dr. Stockard has been inter-

ested are: The influence of alcohol
and other anaesthetics on the devel-
opment of animals; studies of the
growth of tissues; regeneration of lost
parts in animals; investigation of can-
cer problem; development of blood.

CALENDAR FOR FEBRUARY

A MONTH OF INTERESTING
EVENTS.

The new semester starts off with
a full program and if we don’t watch
out it will be gone before we can say
“scat.” Now if you do not believe me
look at all the interesting things
which are to hold our attention for
at least a month, At least this month
of February has been started well.

Feb. 1.—Marked the date of the sec-
ond lecture of our Association series,
Dr. Divine spoke in the chapel at
10:30 a. m. and at 8:00 p.m. The
| Subject of his morning lecture was
“Elijah, the Tishbite.” The large
number in the audience, partly at-
tracted by the unusual title of the
lecture and mostly drawn by the
fame of Dr. Divine, was more than
| satisfied with what the lecturer had
to say. His evening lecture drew
quite a few “outsiders,” besides al-
| most the ‘entire college community.
As one person has remarked, “I be-
lieve Dr. Divine is capable of talking
on any subject within the range of
human interest.”

Feb. 4—Here was an event that
only one thing could rival, and that
was the play given by the faculty—
the rival of which we speak being the
alumnae play just before Christmas.
The former play given by the younger
members of the faculty was unsur-
passed in its source of entertainment,
enthusiasm, wit and what not? Exams
and mistakes of the past faded into
oblivion when the “very gods” them-
selves took it upon themselves to en-
tertain us, their students.

|

Drv Ptockard is" Sade" rep, LU-—-Wiul be quite an exciung

time for those fortunate Freshmen
whose talents entitled them to elec-
tion into Blackfriars. The banquet
will be given in their honor, but the
older members will probably provide
some source of amusement for them-
selves also. Perhaps we will learn
more about this later.

Feb. 11.—The date on which the
Junior class will entertain the college
community. It remains to be seen
what their surprise will be, but when
we remember the history of the Jun-
ior class, nothing is impossible for
them to do.

Feb. 17.—The Student Volunteers
and about ten delegates from the col-
lege at large will go to the Student
Volunteer Conference at Milledge-
ville. They will be gone until Mon-
day, the 20th.

Feb. 17th is also the date of Dr.
Stoddard’s lecture, which will relate
to some biological problem of inter-
est. His lectures will be given on
the evening of the 17th and the morn-
ing of the 18th.

Feb. 25.—The Alabama Glee Club
arrives! This means fun and good
times for all, but especially for the
local glee club.

Feb. 22.—George Washington's
birthday, but since his birthday hap-
pened on the day of the birth of
George Washington Scott, we will give
him credit for a holiday too. This
marks the occasion for a real “dinner”
and dinner dress, and perhaps even
a dance in the gym afterwards.

hardt. The election made for Execu-
tive Committee representatives last
semester holds throughout the year.
These representatives are Beulah

CLASS OFFICERS.

The new semester brings changes, not only in academic work, but in
college activities. The class election of officers brings with it excitement,
class spirit, a shifting of the responsibility, and a new opportunity for the
display of talents and ability, Every organization must have leaders to
guide its activities and policies. The strength of a class depends on the
strength of its officers, but these officers are | not in themselves able to
determine the influence and character of the class. _ Back of them as lead-

MONSIEUR LORIDAUS LEC-
TURES ON MOLIERE.

An Interesting Speaker.

The French Club, seeming to real-

ize how much we needed a change

from exams, gave to the college com-
munity an unusual opportunity and
pleasure on Monday night, when they

“Alliance Francaise” in a lecture on
MolLere. Miss Bthel Ware, who is
the president of the French club, in-
troduced him to the audience after
the reading of the minutes of the last
meeting of January 13, which was the
first meeting of the new year.

Monsieur Loridaus gave a most in-
teresting lecture on Moliere, the
great French comedian. He discussed

the events of his life and the value of
his works to the comic drama. To
illustrate that in his plays Moliere was

full of the comic, Monsieur Toridaus >

| discussed fully his play entitled “Le
Misanthrope.” He read a scene from
this play and he seemed to be quite
a, gifted actor as he entered fully into
the spirit of the famous comedy. This
play Monsieur Loridaus seemed to
consider as a _ representative play
from the great French comedian’s
works, which include many famous
and well-known French comedies.

Monsieur Loridaus was an interest-
ing speaker and (as the French I girls
ean really appreciate) easily under-
stood. He was fluent and spoke in a
most interesting manner. After the
lecture the girls had the pleasure of
remaining and talking with Monsieur
Loridaus. Those who remained were
delighted with his conversational
powers as well as with his. lecture.
The French Club has given to the
members of this club many privileges
and pleasures, but this, coming as it
did just after two weeks of exams,
was especially delightful and a great
| privilege to the girls of the French
Club, and to others of the college com-
munity.

the commission.

THE FACULTY PLAYS.

The Chapel Will Have to Be En-
larged if the Faculty Gives
Another Play.

Ever since Miss Torrance wielded
her baton and Miss Smith played the
comb the night of the historic basket-
ball game, we’ve known that we have
about the best sports ever for a fac-
ulty. So when a notice on the bulle-

tin board announced two faculty
plays, we weren’t as surprised as we
might have been. We never could tell
what these teachers of our’s would do
next, anyhow! ;

And when we saw the program:

many possibilities in the thought of

they are almost unlimited. For after
the aforesaid basket-ball game and
our Christmas songs in the dining
room, the Faculty has lost some of its
awe-inspiring ability and we now see
them to be real human good sports.

With such a cast, moreover, and last
but most assuredly not least, Miss

a “howling” success. It would be a
safe wager that not a seat in the

if you only knew what I’ve _ been
through. And to think that I’m still
alive after I had written my last will
and testament and had all prepared
to die. Of course, exams weren’t any
fun, and for a while I thought the

since I lived through them, I don’t

Blackfriars will present the farce
comedy, “The Man Who Married a

Scott. Is not his ‘Lady of the Lake’
exquisite in its flowing grace and
poetic imagery?”

remarkable how much the author has
put in and how little he has left out
of the story of a judge, Leonard Botal,
who married an exceedingly beautiful
woman, Catherine, whose only imper-
fection was that she was dumb. This
so grieved her husband that after
much searching he found a physician
who was able to restore her speech.
As soon as this gift was restored she
spoke so loud, so much, so fiercely,
and so long that her poor husband

THE FOLLOWING LETTER HAS
BEEN RECEIVED,

The Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, Maryland,
December 7, 1921.
Miss Catherine Torrance,

Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Georgia.
Dear Miss Torrance:

I meant to write you sooner how
much | enjoyed my visit to Agnes
Scott and to thank you for the unu-
sually interesting and profitable visit
I had to your attractive college. I
was especially surprised by the high
quality of the girls you get at Agnes
Scott, both by their personality and
by their intellectuality. I fear that in
the next generation the women are
to be better educated than the
men; for literature and art seem to
be. thriving more in the women’s col-
leges than in the men’s colleges.

Please remember me to all who did
so much for me, especially to Profes-
sors Rankin and Armistead. Tell the

Mistakes.

When a plumber makes a mistake
he charges twice for it.

When a lawyer makes a mistake he
has a chance to try the mistake all
over again,

When a carpenter makes a mistake
it is just as he expected.

When a doctor makes a mistake he
buries it.

When a judge makes a mistake it
becomes a law.

When a preacher makes a mistake
nobody knows the difference,

But when the editor makes a mis-
take—GOOD NIGHT!—Exchange.

their jobs right along, even if gym
exams were over.

Every day right after that exam all
were in a mad rush to get into basket-
ball togs and over to the gym. Then
the balls began to ring the hoops and
the whistle to blow and do you know
that every one had a good, big appe-
tite for dinner besides being refreshed
to study the next exam.

About four each afternoon the eyes
of the busy students turned wistfully
to the clock to see just how long it
would be before time for basket-ball
practice. As the hand of the clock
neared five, those who were anxious
to play, prepared to go to the gym
and with them went their colleagues
whether they had played before or
not. There were good crowds and
can you imagine it—one girl said that
she had twelve hours of exercise for
one week because she didn’t want to
miss a single practice.

Of course these games were all in-
clusive and everybody came, but
think how it would be if class prac-
tices were as well attended. Let’s
come full force and boost regular
practices as we did those during

SWIMMING CLASSES OPEN,

To those who aspire to be Annette
Kellermans, a great opportunity is
given now. This is a chance that
comes ‘‘once in a life time,” and one
which is open to every girl at Agnes
Scott. Miss Randolph and Miss Wil-
burn are conducting swimming Classes

learn to do in our little “two by four’

will be to swim to the raft, across

marvelous feats next summer. Swim-

town over in Mississippi named that,”
said one of the girls. “Did you walk
all the way from there?” was the
naive query.

Now that the second semester is
with us in earnest, both boarding stu-
dents and day students are having
regular hikes again, the former Satur-
day last and the latter Friday. As
the boarding students had five hikes

MOVIES AND THE COLLEGE.

Will training for the movies be
eventually included in the college cur-
riculum? It might happen if the de-
mand were sufficiently great!—

More than one hundred Smith girls,
states a newspaper, are preparing to
take up movie careers and many are
studying scenario writing. Anita
Loos, scenario writer of twelve years’
standing, talked on the opportunities
the industry affords and as a result
enthusiasm for ‘‘going into” the movy-
ies has become widespread. The pop-
ular ambition is not to be a star—the
hundreds intend to study the industry
from scenario writing through direct-
ing and up to producing.

The newspaper which reports the
above foresees a great good to the
movies in this probable invasion of
the field by college women. “They
will bring culture and well-trained
minds to writing, acting, historical
and biographical research, costuming,
directing and producing.”

Does a new era dawn for the mov-
ies?—Mt. Holyoke News.

WORDS AND MUSIC OF NEW
ORIGINAL SONGS TO
BE PRINTED.

There is probably nothing that
affords more pleasure to the college
community than our “sings.” This
pleasure will be doubled when our
new song books arrive. No longer
will we have to take a back seat and
follow the time limpingly, filling up
the gaps with a mumbled “Ah-h-h,”
or “M-m-m.” With a copy of our new
song books, we'll be safe and can sing
out “with the loudest of ‘em.” All
the old and new songs, written by
our very own girls have been col-
lected in one yolume. Ten of the
best original songs are to be printed
with the music. The others, which
are parodies and whose tunes are fa-
miliar to every girl on the campus
will have only their words printed.
We hope the eagnerness with which
we await our song books will inspire
the printer with enthusiasm and
hasten his work so that we may soon
welcome their arrival.

NORTH CAROLINA CLUB.

“Here’s to the land of the long-leaf
pine,

The summer land where the sun doth
shine.

Where the weak grow strong, and

aa the strong grow great—
Here’s to the land of the old North
State.”
The North Carolina Club, at its

second meeting on Monday, January
80, with Mr. Rankin, was formally
organized. It was decided to elect
two officers, a president and a secre-
tary. Roberta Love, of Lincolnton,
was elected president, and Jeannette
Archer, of Montreat, secretary, with
the privilege of acting as treasurer
when necessary. Both of these elec-
tions were unanimous.

There was a discussion of how to
get the high schools of North Caro-
lina interested in Agnes Scott so
that they would raise their standards,
thereby making it easier for any
students who wish to go to college.
Among the suggestions were: to
write letters to the high schools
from which we came, telling them
what Agnes Scott has meant to us,
to tell the high schools in what sub-
ject girls coming from them are
weak and deficient, if any go back
as teachers to try to build up the
standards of the high school, and
better prepare those who wish to go
to college,

The question was brought up of

hy Agnes S¢éott is an “A” college,

hat makes it rank high, and why
others do not have such rank.

The club voted to have monthly
meetings.

The president was authorized to
challenge any other State to a game
of basket-ball. Who will be brave
enough to accept this challenge of
the Tar Heels?

After all the business of the meet-
ing was finished, Mr. Rankin brought
in pop corn and marshmallows,
which were popped, toasted, and en-
joyed greatly.

All too soon the lights blinked and
the meeting had to be broken up.

ALABAMA GLEE CLUB TO

COME TO AGNES SCOTT.

Reception by Uur Giee Club.

Among the most thrilling events of
Aggie’s life is the visit of some out-
side friend whose coming is a little
out of the ordinary campus activi-
ties. So we all look forward to the
visit of the Alabama Glee Club on
February 25. We wouldn’t be excited
over just any Glee Club but this
particular group is especially worth
while. Their attitude toward coming
to us is expressed in the following
sentence of a letter from them: “We
‘Shall regard Agnes Scott as an au-
dience worthy of our best endeayors.”

This club has had quite a marked
success with the different colleges
and we who heard them before know
what they can do. The club at pres-
ent has over thirty singers with Mr.
Tom Garner as director. After the
concert is over there will be a recep-
tion given by Agnes Scott Glee Club.
The nice part is that our Glee Club
invites all the dates to be present
at the reception. Further advertise-
ment is not necessary and it is cer-
tain that Agnes Scott will co-operate
fully to make this visit a success.
Full announcements as to tickets and
reserved seats will be made later.

FAMOUS RUSSIAN DANCER
TO BE HERE ON FEBRU-
ARY 21.

Those girls who are holders of con-
cert tickets are especially lucky just
now. The All Star Concert Series
is presenting Anna Pavlowa and her
ballet on February 21.

Paviowa is well known all over the
world and generally recognized as the
greatest of dancers. She is Russian
by birth, and one of her best known
dances is the “ballet de Russe.” Not
only is she so charming, but the men
in this dance are unusual. They are
all Russians and Russia is the only
country in which men make an in-
tensive study of dancing.

Her success lies in the wonderful
control she has over all her muscles.
She not only dances with her arms
and feet, but with her whole body
as well. Every movement of her
body, every twist of her head, is
expressive of the dance which she is
interpreting. This wonderful control is

SOPHOMORE SISTERS
CHOSEN.

Specials Cause Much Excitement.

Specials! That one lone word al-
Ways gains attention, no matter what
jit applies to or where it is heard.
And last Wednesday morning, there
were three pages full of Specials be-
sides the ordinary ones.

And when the question “Why so
many?” was asked, everyone answer-
ed at once. Out of such chaos, it
was learned that in this new and
unique method the Juniors had, ac-
cording to the time-honored custom,
issued their invitations to eager
Freshmen.

The custom of having Senior and
Sophomore sisters is a custom that
has long been at Agnes Scott. In-
deed, it has been here so long that
the originator of the idea has been
forgotten. But that doesn’t necessar-
ily mean that the “origination” has
been forgotten.

This sister class idea has been
the source of much fun and merri-
ment. The first of the many joys
to be gained is that of wearing the
proud sister’s class ring. Along with
that comes the day of investiture.

But in the spring comes the most
fun, for then it is that the “sisters”
entertain and are entertained. Teas,
dinners, breakfasts! And these hap-
penings are only a few.

ters are given below:

NEW SONGS FOR SINGS.

Prizes

“Sing, sing, loving the singing,

“Just sing, sing, sing.”

Indeed, we at Agnes Scott have cer-
tainly followed this motto, for sing-
ing has long been one of the crown-
The sing
each Tuesday night has always been

attended by a large crowd, and has
been immortalized in the song, “The
Little Brain.”

But
practices faithfully every week, and
which aids so much in enlivening our
singing, and our “peppy” song leader,
Ruth Hall, can not make old songs
as interesting or as likeable as a few
new ones would be. For a long time,
no one seemed to realize exactly what
the difficulty was, but everyone knew
|that something had to be done; for
singing over and over the same songs
did not always prove as enticing as
the unique pleasure of browsing in
the library is to some of our state-
ly college students.

So, suddenly, and without warning,
posters began to appear all over our
campus, posters which sponsored the
writing of new songs. These posters
took the form of “give a new song
to Aggie for a Christmas present,” and
sent many girls home with the high
and noble ambition of writing the
best college song—the reward of
which they knew to be five dollars.

When the songs were handed in,
there were in all about fifteen songs,
and several original tunes. The
judges had quite a time in deciding
on the best one, or rather best two,
for both the Orchestra and Athletic
Association offered prizes. The
prize offered by the Athletic Asso-
ciation had to be divided into one
for the most humorous song, of which
Helen Faw was the winner, with her
song, “Oh, oh, oh,” and one for the
most serious type of song, “A Hymn
to Agnes Scott,” the words and
music of which were both written by
Mary Jarman. The orchestra prize
was awarded for the song, “School
Days,” the words of which were
written by Marjorie Lowe, and the
music by Althea Stevens.

A. S. C. is very proud of these new
songs, both of those which won the

ing glories of our college.

When you say February 22nd to
people they think

of
But
to an Agnes Scotter, it means more
than just George Washington’s birth-
day. Although we love to honor our
great patriot this day,
also love to think of it as “Founder’s
Day” and honor the man who has
founded the Agnes Scott that means
so much to us—George Washington
Scott.

There are a number of thrills con-
nected with this celebration and we
are already beginning to mark off
the days on our calendars and figure
up how many hours before the twen-
ty-second. We might mention a few
of the thrills that are coming.

Thrill number one—it’s a_ holiday.
To those of us who have become thin
and worn and pale during the flurry
of exams a holiday sounds good.

Thrill number two is the big
dinner that night and those of us
who remember the Thanksgiving din-
ner and the good times we had that
night will look forward with no
small pleasure to the one on Found-
er’s Day. Evening dresses must be
hauled out and looked over and silver
slippers brought out from their hid-
ing places. Curl papers will, be in
great demand on the night before
and on the following day curls and

invariably

on we

curls and more curls may be seen
on the campus.
But we must hurry on to thrill

number three. We are to be honored
on this particular night by the pres-
ence of some very distinguished
guests. George and Martha Washing-
ton will be with us. Naturally they
would, since it is his birthday party.
‘But Dame Rumor also whispers
that Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson and Pat-
rick Henry and Betsy Ross and per-
haps even La Fayette himself may
be there. A big special table will
be reserved for these celebrities in
the center of the dining room. There
will also be a special table for the
Sophomore sisters. The living room
will of course be decorated in a man-
ner befitting the day and the distin-
guished guests.

Now for thrill number four! When
dinner is over there will be a big
dance in the gym. Just like we had
Thanksgiving, you remember. But it
has an added interest this time,
George and Martha Washington and
some of the other celebrities have
consented to dance the minuet for
us. Then, perhaps they will join
in with the rest of us and dance as
it is done now-a-days. And although
we know that in our modern danc-
ing they will find quite a change
from the stately minuet of their day,
nevertheless we believe they will en-
joy it.

There are some more thrills, lots
of them. But then some have to be
saved, you know, because if you knew
them all ahead of time of course
they wouldn’t be quite such thrills.
So we must wait till then to find
out the rest. In the meantime let's
just look forward to it and we can
rest assured that the Senior class
which has charge of it will give us
just the best “Founder’s Day’ Agnes
Scott has ever had.

prizes and the many others written
by the geniuses in our midst.

On Tuesday night a recital of the
new songs was given in the chapel.
Several of our very own productions
were sung by the double quartet, Miss
Curry, Nell Esslinger, Frances Gilli-
land, Lillian McAlpine, and Catherine

Wharton.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING.

It is the duty of every woman for her own sake and the sake of those
around her to look her best. Some one has said that to look our best
we must display good taste in our clothes, which demands that they be
becoming, modest, and moderately stylish. For each girl and each woman
there is a different fashion suitable. If we are to look our best we must
make the tests of attractiveness, modesty and style and not follow blindly
the dictates of Dame Fashion, who so quickly takes us to hideous and
horrible extremes. At no time are extremes in dress good taste, but
they might be tolerated if they were becoming and modest. At present
we see all about us extremely short skirts. Are they becoming? Tall
girls in short skirts emphasize their height and seem awkward and gauky,
impressing others with a lack of grace. Short girls have the appearance,

when wearing short skirts, of being little children with strangely over-
developed heads. Short skirts accentuate the “roundness” of fat girls,
‘for there is no room in their clothing for the much sought after “long-
lines.” ‘

“The truest sign of woman’s worth,

The highest mark of gentle birth,

is Modesty.”

By degrees we have made ourselves think that people who object to
short skirts are just old fashioned in their ideas. It is well to change with
the times in some things, but we should use good judgment and not be
swept away by new ideas. Those who are wise and who are strong are
steady in their ideas of modesty and consider very short skirts immodest.
In a large city recently a girl appeared on the streets wearing a very
short skirt and some one asked her if she was from the country! To be
well dressed and in style we must be moderate. Every one knows the
evils of the old skirt which swept the ground and carried with it millions
of germs. It has long been discarded and out of date. This is a time
when comfort and health take a leading place in our styles. It is well
to give up the extremely long skirt, but it is not well to go to the other
extreme and wear very short skirts. To be modest, graceful, well dressed,
and reasonsble we must give up extremes in skirts and wear skirts of

moderate length.

THE POETRY CLUB HOLDS
MEETING.

Sunday night, February ninth, the
second regular meeting of the Poetry
Club was held. Miss Janef Preston
was hostess at this meeting. More of
Aggies’ proverbial genius blossomed
forth—as it had previously done at
the first meeting, just before exams,
in the shape of a dozen poems.

The Club, as most of us remember
having heard.in chapel one morning,
is a new organization on the campus,
and for one so young it shows the
most remarkable vigor, not to say
precocity.

The only qualifications for mem-
bership in the Poetry Club are that
those desiring to become members
shall be lovers of poetry, and really
want to try to write some of their
own. The club was not of a small
membership to begin with, but now
it has grown much, and while there
is as yet no definite limit to the num-
ber of members the club shall consist
of, it seems best, however, that the
membership shall not become awk-
wardly large. The number of mem-
bers at present is about twenty.

The club has only
They are Laura Oliver, president,
and Eleanor Hyde, secretary, Reg-
ular minutes of the club are kept
and read at the meetings. There is
no treasurer for there are no dues
paid by members—but one might call
the collection of original poems the

two officers.

treasury, and a very precious one it
is.

At each meeting of the Poetry Club
about half of the membership is rep-
resented by poetic contributions.
Since the meetings come every two
weeks this means that every member
writes one poem a month, except
when a meeting is given over to the
study of the life and works of some
poet already “arrived.”

The Poetry Club is especially bless-
ed in having as patrons five members
of our illustrious faculty. These are:
Miss Randolph, Miss Loney, Miss Mc-
Kinney, Miss Torrence and Dr. Arm-
istead. However, the club extends a
cordial invitation to any others of the
faculty who are interested in poetry:
we'd be glad to have them come.

But to continue about the meetings,
after the reading of the minutes and
discussion of any business the un-
signed poems are read by members
of the club and discussed. The dis-
eussion is informal, frank and thus
very beneficial and instructive as
well.

One or more members of the club
usually act as hostess and after the
last poem has been read and dis-
cussed the “budding geniuses” are
treated to delicious refreshments.

The Poetry Club isin every re-
spect a delightful and helpful organ-
ization, and besides fostering the po-
etic muse on the campus of Agnes
Scott, who knows? Some of the mem-
bers may prove to be second Sap-
phos or even feminine Shakespeares.

THE AGONISTIC

BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS

The Y. W. C. A, is planning many
“treats” for us this spring. First
of all there comes to us Miss Lump-
kin. Many of us know Miss Lump-
kin, student Y. W. C. A. secretary
and have been helped in the past
by her splendid talks. We are still
singing some of the songs Miss Lump-
kin taught us on her last visit. We
are all glad to have her return to us
and hope she will instruct us fur-
ther in the art of singing negro spirit-
uals. The week Miss Lumpkin is
to be with us, beginning February 27,
will be vocational guidance week.
This week is helpful to all of us
and especially to the Seniors, some
of whom have not yet decided on

their vacations.

On February 26, Miss Leggsworth,
a Student Volunteer traveling secre-
tary, is to be with us. We have never

had Miss Leggsworth visit us before,

but we hear from those who know
her that she is indeed charming and
helpful.

Then, on March 5 the Y. W. C. A.
is bring to us another speaker, Mrs.
Smith, Life Work Secretary of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States. Mrs. Smith will talk to us
out of an abundance of experience.
The following week, March 12, Mrs.
Eddy will tell us something of indus-
trial conditions.

One of the best things the Y. W. C.
A. is giving us is the Cabinet Training
Council. We are so glad that it
is to be held at Agnes Scott this
year so that we may have an op-
portunity to know the girls of Short-
er, Wesleyan, Brenau and G. N. & I.
C., who are interested in Y. W. work
and will meet with our girls to dis-
cuss that work. The council will

meet from March 24-26.
time we will have three or four sec-
retaries who will speak to the whole
student body as well as to the Train-
ing Council.

Another interesting fact is that our

During that

Y. W. president and vice president
are to leave us, just for one Sunday
though. The two Ruths will go to
Brenau to lead the Y. W. C. A. ser-
vice there. Sometime in the spring
we hope to have several representa-
tives from Brenau lead our Y. W. ser-
vice. We also are eager to have
Esther Kim, a Korean student at Wes-
leyan, visit Agnes Scott. Sometime
during February Mr. Gossart is to
talk jto our Sunday School.

The Y. W. is due our heartiest
thanks for this splendid program
We are looking forward with great
eagerness to the fulfilment of each
part of it.

LA COURSE DU FLAMBEAU

PRESENTED BY L’AL-
LIANCE FRANCAISE.

At least an eighth of Agnes Scott,
chaperoned by a goodly percentage
of the faculty, set out for Marist

College on the night of February the
sixth, to see “La Course du Flam-
beau” presented by the Alliance
Francaise of Atlanta. That the whole
college felt a keen interest in the
play was evidenced by the fact that
not even the elements, in all their
fury, were sufficiently powerful to
damper the enthusiasm of the eighth,
even if clothes and hats were a trifle
damaged.

There was reason enough for this,
because every one on the campus, be
she freshman or senior, labors daily
and diligently over French, and per-
haps had a better feeling for the ac-
tcrs, even if most of them were
originally from France!

In “La Course du Flambeau” the
ancient game of torches was sym-
bolized, the object of the game being
to run for long distances with a
lighted torch before passing the torch
to someone else. The course of civil-

ization from one generation to an-)

other was shown in the play. The
plot was very cleverly worked out,
so cleverly in fact, that at. some
points it seemed as though it could
never be untangled again. Sabine
Revel, a widow, is in love, but she
gives up her lover for the sake of
her mother. Sabine signs. some
ever, when Marie Jeanne finally
marries she becomes involved in fi-
nancial difficulties and begs aid from
her mother. Sabrine signs some
deeds of her own mother, Madame
Fontenais, thereby sacrificing her
honor. In the meantime Marie Jeanne
develops tuberculosis,
Fontenais heart trouble. Mountain
air is prescribed for Sabine’s daugh-
ter and an entirely different climate
for her mother. Madame Fontenais,
who does not know of her disease, in-
sists on going to the mountains with

and Madame

her granddaughter. Sabine, after
weighing the death of her mother
against the death of her daughter,
finally consents to her mother’s ac-
companying them, thereby sacrific-
ing Madame Fontenais’ life.

All the acting was good, but
especially that of Sabine. The cos-
tumes were excellent, and the whole
play was so greatly enjoyed that
everyone, at least the representatives
of Agnes Scott, sighed deeply when
the final curtain descended and wish-
ed that it was only beginning.

LOUISIANA COLLEGE DEDICATES
NEW BUILDING

What is declared to be the finest
educational building in Louisiana has
recently been dedicated at Alexan-
dria. The structure is the adminis-
tration building of Louisiana College.

The building is 80x230 feet in area,
is three stories high and is of con-
erete and steel construction faced
with brick. It has an auditorium with
a seating capacity of approximately
one thousand people and a_ library
equipment to care for 25,000 volumes.

ence with gym work?”

SPRING HATS.
"Sas =
The air was anibient with spring,
The winds they softly blew,
Spring hats were in the atmosphere
Spring hats all shining new.

Matilda gazed with dignity
Upon the gladsome day;
She shook her bobbed hair up and
down,
And gravely she did say:
“There’s something in the air today
That I can not define;
I can not seem to concentrate,
I somehow seem to pine

For vague unfathomable things,
For sandwiches, or tea; ;

I think I'll write a poem or
Go sailing, on the sea.”

“My dear, you're absolutely off,”
TI told her just like that.

“You don’t want seas or sandwiches}

You want a new spring hat!”

You see the yellow jonquils bloom
You hear the birdies call,

You read the new spring poems—
They’re written in the fall.

Oh, yes, they are! The poet tramps
Thru bleak November rain,

And then an editor declares
It’s time to write again.

Some lyric on new budding leaves,
On springtime sounds and sights;
With that the poet plies his pen
And glad spring poems writes.”

“Oh, do get on the subject, dear,”
Matilda here did pray,
“Oh, yes—spring hats!
turn!
I was about to say

Let me re-

That in the spring the flapper’s fan-
cy
Doesn’t turn to love; *
It wanders always to new hats
With flowers all above.

And straw and ribbons underneath
(You know the kind I mean).
It’s only seven ninety-eight,
And all the ribbons green!”

“Spring hats do haunt the atmosphere
I really think you’re right.

I've simply got to go to town
And get one for tonight.”

Now all this happened yesterday,
When spring was in the air;

Spring hats seemed most important,
Most wanted, and most fair.

VALENTINE MASQUERADE;
JUNIORS ENTERTAIN
SCHOOL.

“That’s the best party I've been
to in ages,” sighed an ecstatic fresh-
man, after the Junior Valentine Mas-
querade was over last Saturday night.

“Yes,” agreed her loyal room mate,
“you can always trust the Juniors
to pull off the cute parties.”

At eight o’clock, strange creatures
began to steal, masked, into the gym
—clown and harlequin, gypsy and _bri-
gand. Soon the room was gay with
brilliant costumes—some fashioned
like valentines—eyen the comic yal-
entine had its place. Agnes Scott’s
famous jazz orchestra tuned up and
“the dance was on.” The fun of
dancing with an unknown partner
only added to the general gaiety and
joy certainly—well, flowed. At one
corner of the room punch was
served from an attractive spot, while
the favors were small valentine lolly-
pops.

During the evening the judges tried

But now today, Matilda says
She feels no potent urge

For new spring hats or sandwiches,
No songs within her surge.

For winter’s back again today—
I’m very sure of that,

The winds are whizzing all around
I want no new spring hat.

I crouch before the radiator,
Writing with deep hate,

This must be in by five o'clock!
Such, I suppose is fate.

Dear “Pal:”

I haven’t written sooner because
I've been too cold. Yes, that’s the
only excuse I have—just too cold.
The ink all but froze in my foun-
tain pen and my fingers were as
stiff as nails all last week. I've
heard several girls say that they
blew out of bed one night, but that
may not be true, but I know all my
little curlers stood at attention every
night.

Exams have become past history
now, none too soon for me. And
everything is back at normal again.
The telephone is just as busy and
the special pad as progressive as it
was before Christmas. Gus Cannon
even got a long distance call from
Spartanburg last week. She says he
was drunk when he called cause he
wanted to talk all night—drunk with
delight, I bet at hearing Gus’ voice.
She surely did strut around in Re-
becca that night. She couldn’t sleep
so she might as well have walked, I
guess.

M. Keesler and M. Shepherd are
awful young to have real beaux, don’t
you think? Why they are only fresh-
men like me and they both had their
out of town beaux down to see them
last week. I'm not jealous or any-
thing, but I do wish I had somebody

to come to see me and make me feel
big. These boys that came to see
them were from Charlotte, but I'd
even be content if a boy came from
Marietta to see me.

You know long time ago when the

Constitution published lots of Agnes
Scott girls’ pictures, well, Emily

‘Guille was one of them. And do you

know that Emily got the “best let-
ter” the other day from a meat mar-
ket in Atlanta, simply raving about
her, (now Miss Laney would call
that a bad mistake for it wasn’t the
meat market that was raving, but a
man in the meat market). Anyway,
he said he simply had to meet her
someway, and kinder hinted at how
good looking he was. He said he had
fine black hair and parted it in the
middle. He didn’t say much more,
for I guess he didn’t think it was
necessary, since the most important
part of him was O. Ke I just don’t
understand Emily. Really, she’s an
awfully peculiar girl, for do you know
she hasn't given him a date yet, and
I don’t think she has even answered
his letter. Oh dear, I dare anybody
to tell me I’m as good looking as he
told Emily she was.

Sometimes I think everybody but
me was born lucky. Do you know
that Carolyn Moody has _ stopped

in vain to decide which of the at-
tractive costumes was the most at-
tractive, but when they finally reach-
ed a decision they were almost afraid
to announce. Finally overcoming
their natural timidity they presented
the winner with a box of candy.

Everybody likes to get all dressed
up and mask once in awhile, and this
is the first chance we've had_ this
year to do so. The timid girl makes
a fine boisterous clown—the tomboy
a demure shépherdess. Under the
protecting mask one may play the
part they’ve always longed to play.

The Juniors certainly are in line for
thanks for giving us such a good
time.

FOLIO ELECTS NEW
MEMBERS,

Ellen Walker and Mary Anne
McKinney Join the Writers’
Club.

Two girls, Ellen Walker and Mary
Ann McKinney, have triumphantly
surmounted all the obstacles in the
way of becoming members of Folio.
They are now full-fledged sisters in
that organization, whose purpose is
improvement in short story writing.
Mary Ann’s story was called “The
Contract,” Ellen’s “The Long, Long
Trail.” Their principal merit aside
from form and style, lay in the fact
that they contained a goodly measure
of truth and were not too improbable
“for human nature’s daily food.”

Folio considered itself very for-
tunate indeed in the number of try-
outs, fifteen, which was perhaps the
largest in its history. This may be
accounted for by the course in nar-
ration given in English I, for by this
many are spurred to literary effort
who would not try otherwise. The
most common reason for the non-ac-
ceptance of a try-out was the choice
of subject matter that was ovt of
the reach of a school girl.

At the beginning of the new se-
mester the Sophmore members of the
elub are automatically excluded; and
the Freshmen who were taken in last
fall and those who are new at this
time are left with the responsibility
of carrying on the work of Folio,
that is striving to follow in O. Henry’s
footsteps.

The membership now includes:

Elizabeth Cheatham, Georgia May
Little, Larsen Mattox, Margaret
Wood, Mary Ann McKinney, Ellen
Walker.

SAGE OBSERVATIONS,

No matter how old the world gets,
it will still have in it the species of

human who persist in blowing out the
gas.

A woman is. like a cannon; she
doesn’t seem ready to go until she’s
full of powder.

Americans are a funny race of
people; if water were as scarce as
liquor, they would be paying the same
prices for it.

If apples were brains, some folks
wouldn’t be equal to the stems.

If there were twice as many opti-
mists as there are pessimists, the
world might rotate a little better.

A good cigar is like a penniless ac-
quaintance; no matter show short it
gets, we hate to discard it; but if we
don’t, we finally get burnt.

A pair. of tight shoes will do more
to restrain a man from roaming from
his fireside than all the blue laws
that can be devised.

DECATUR, A CHARACTER

“Don’t you think Decatur is the
liveliest little burg in the State?”
Maybe you have seen an expression
similar to that in “Main Street,” but
we know this much and that is that
Carol could not possibly have answer-
ed with as much enthusiasm as we
will. We say “yes,” and the girls
from Georgia may make an exception
of just one town. Can you hardly
blame them tho, they must stick by
thé “old home town?”

Decatur is a lively town,
Scott is in Decatur. Ahem!

You know “Agnes Scott has got
the pep,” and to spare. Pep is con-
tagious. Therefore, Decatur has
“caught” some of our pep. Now of
course that is reasoned out logically
and medically.

But Decatur is not only dependent
on Agnes Scott for her pep. Just
look at all the young people in. Deca-
tur, especially the young men. The

BASKET BALL.

Three cheers for the Seniors and
three for the Sophmores, because

they certainly deserve it after play-
ing that Freshman and Junior team.

Friday night February 38rd great
throngs began to assemble to watch
the two games that were soon to
take place. The Juniors were to
play the Sophmores, and the Seniors
the Freshmen. Of course everyone
was absolutely sure that her own
team would win, but she felt that she
was partly responsible for the way
the game should end and so came to
boost it. Both pianos were full to
the brim, the poor old horse was
loaded down and nobody felt like a
wall flower because so many were
using the wall for a prop and never
have wall flowers made as much noise
as these did.

The first on the floor were the
Juniors and Sophmore teams. The
game was full of energy and showed
that each team knew how to play
and do good team work. There was
not a thing lacking that is required
by all for a real, sure enough game.
Pep and quickness from the players
and pep and yells from the others
couldn’t make anything but a most
thrilling contest.- At the end of the
first half the score was 14 to 9 in
favor of the Sophmores.

These teams withdrew after the
first half and the Seniors and Fresh-
men come to view.

old and stiff surely changed their
jopinion after seeing those six swift
Seniors play those fine fiery Fresh-
men. The game was close and ended
with a score of 18 to 11 in favor of
the Seniors.

During the last halves both teams
‘showed their determination and the
score keeper was kept quite busy

CROSS COUNTRY HIKE
PLANNED.

To Last All of February 22nd.

On every holiday that Agnes Scott
has, there is always something doing.
For our holiday on the twenty-second
of this month, Nannie Campbell, the
hike manager,
derful “up her
prise is a cross-country hike—one of
these get together affairs where you
take your lunch and hike all day
long.

This hike will be staged if enough
girls care to go. The plan is to
leave early the morning of our Feb-
ruary holiday, take enough sand-
wiches and pickles for the noon meal,
hike until everybody is satisfied and

sleeve.” This sur-

come back to the College in time for |

the big supper. You know the turkey

and evening dress supper or, rather, |

dinner we had last year.

One grand and glorious thing about
the hike is that we won't have to wor-
ry about being back at five-thirty, be-
eause Miss Randolph has consented
to chaperon us as far as we can
walk. It is rumored that she is al-
most more enthusiastic than the
girls who are planning the hike.

If you want to spend a wonderful
time, if you want’ to get away from
“toils and cares” of studying, cram-
ming and all the other disagreeable
things, talk up the hike to every-
body, and especially to Miss Ran-
dolph and Nannie Campbell. Let’s
plan to have a jolly good day for you
know a holiday is something that
comes just about “once in a life time”
—that is, it seems so since our last
few weeks have been so filled and
thoroughly flavored with that evil
which is generally known as exams.
Come on girls, show your athletic
spirit, and let us show Miss Ran-
dolph that we can hike forever if
she can.

DR. STOCKARD, OF CORNELL,
TO LECTURE ON THE 16TH.

Stockard is considered an authority

he has done much in the way of re- |
search. He has investigated the sub-
ject of Morphology, the influence of
alcohol on animal growth, the regen- |
eration of the lost parts of animals,
the cancer problem, the origin and |
development of blood. His most re-|
cent study has been one of utmost!)
interest, the importance of the se-|
cretion of the ductless glands. He)
has made a good many discoveries
along this line.

After the lecture, there will be a
foriual reception for the State Bi-|
ology Association, which is to meet!
here. Dr. Stockard will be the guest |
of honor. The president of the State
Biology Association is Dr. Rhodes,
of Emory; the secretary is none other |
than our own Miss McDougall. The
vice president is Dr. Krafher, of the
University of Georgia. Agnes Scott
is looking forward, therefore, to Feb-
ruary 16th and 17th.

The Lecture Association will pre-
sent the poetess, Amy Lowell, in
March.

TRUE LOVE NEVER RUNS
SMOOTH.

Much excitement was created at
Agnes Scott the other day by the
sale of chances on a very pretty pic-
ture frame (price $4.00) containing
the picture of a handsome youngster
of about 19 years. The chances were
ten cents each and there were some
200 sold. “Miss” Rebecca Harmon
assisted by her two room mates were
the promoters of this unique sale.
Miss Harmon was dressed in full
mourning and the picture was draped
in black (silk stockings). Her veil
of black taffeta was especially be-
coming. On being asked the oc-
easion of all this she smiled sadly
through her tears and said, “He's
married.”

OH! CRUEL WOMAN!

For several minutes the young man
did not speak. His heart was too full.
It was enough for him to know that
this glorious creature loved him; that
she had promised to be his wife.

His good fortune seemed incredible.
Finally he whispered, tenderly, “How
did it happen, darling, that such a
bright, shining angel as yourself fell
in love with a dull, stupid fellow like
me?” }
“Goodness knows,” she murmured,
absently. “I must have a screw loose
somewhere.”

The Professor’s Surprise,
“IT propose to show you,” said a
professor of biology, “a very fine
specimen of a dissected frog which
I have in this parcel.”

Undoing the parcel, he disclosed
some sandwiches, a hard-boiled egg,
and some fruit. “But—surely I ate
my lunch!” he exclaimed.

Honorable Retirement.
“Girlie, what are you hanging with
the suit of buff and blue your great-
grandfather wore throughout the rev-

“The overalls I wore during the
late war.”

Rejoice.

Could down another year;
Tip-toe a bit and see
The next—with chirp and cheer!

POLITICAL STRUGGLES CON-
TINUE.

The Girl Scouts have re-organized
in Decatur. Mrs. J. W. Rutland was
chosen captain and Misses Thelma
and Margaret Thompson were chosen
as lieutenants. Dr. D. P. McGeachy
has offered the Decatur Presbyterian
Sunday school room for a meeting

place: Mrs. H. G. Hastings has of-
fered a lovely camp site. These girls
are going to have lots of good times
together and will no doubt find the
work very helpful and interesting.

The primary department of the
Pattillo Memorial Methodist church
presented “Judge Johnson’s Matinee”
on Monday, February the 13th. After
the program an old-fashioned candy
pulling was enjoyed. A small admis-
sion fee was charged, the proceeds
going to the chair fund of the pri-
mary department.

The Christian Endeavor Society of
the Decatur Presbyterian church en-
joyed a valentine social in the church
parlors on Valentine’s Day.

In the automobile show that has
been held in the Auditorium, was a
machine built by a Decatur man, Mr.
Ansley H. Fox. Mr. Fox was born in

Decatur, but moved to Baltimore in}

early childhood. His first invention
was the Fox shotgun, which was made
famous by President Theodore Roose-
velt. During the war he invented
the Fox Air-Cooled Machine Gun.
Three and one-half years ago he or-
ganized an gutomobile company, of
which the Fox automobile, which was

that he interpreted the code to make
this matter subject to the findings of
a jury, but has not yet signified the
date on which the case will be

The Atlantic Ice and Coal Co. wish
to erect a plant costing $100,000 be-
tween the railroad and the street car
line at College and Drexel avenue.
They claim that they will beautify
the spot and that the plant will not
be a nuisance, since it will be run by
electricity.

The Decatur fire department has
just received 500 feet of hose. They
had lately gotten 1,000 feet and had
200 feet left from the last regime.

This makes 1,700 feet available.

Mrs. Alden, of Decatur, had a re-
ception for Mrs. Gresham on Febru-
ary 14th. The invitations were in
the form of lovely little valentines.

Mrs. Alden herself in a lovely
black afternoon gown met the guests
herself at the door and took them
into the living room where they were
introduced to Mrs, Gresham and others
who were in the receiving line. In
the dining-room Mrs. Jeter assisted
in pouring the tea, which was served
with lovely heart-shaped sandwiches.
Punch was served in the breakfast
room. The flowers used in decora-
tion were jonquils and pink roses.

Miss Ann Harwell, of Agnes Scott
and Decatur, played several selections
on the violin in which she was ac-
companied by her mother.

Miss Sutphen and Mrs. Syden-
stricker enjoyed this lovely function.

The Deeatur Re-Call Moyement to
oust Mayor W. J. Dabney and City
Commissioners Eugene Allen and Guy
Webb on charges of “gross misman-
agement” met with the opposition of
a thousand Decatur people last Tues-
day night.

At a mass meeting held in the
Court House the subject was discuss-
ed both pro and con by many of De-
catur’s leading citizens.

After the meeting hundreds signed
cards opposing the recall movement.

The League of Women Voters of
Decatur has also opposed the move-
ment very strenuously and signed
resolutions to that effect.

GAMMA TAU MEMBERS AN-
NOUNCED.

High Honor Is Conferred On
Members of Senior Class.

In 1913, there was formed at Agnes
Scott, by the faculty members of the
National Honor Society of Phi Beta
Kappa, the society of Gamma Tau
Alpha, for the purpose of conferring:
faculty honors on the students. Every
year when examinations are over, the
names of the seniors who have been
taken in are made known.

Last Saturday morning, Dr. Armi-
stead announced in chapel that
Mary Barton and Ethel Ware had
been elected to Gamma Tau.

To be elected to Gamma Tau is the
highest honor which can be conferred
upon a senior. Not only must a stu-
dent have a very high scholastic rec-
ord, but she must also have taken an
active part in other activities of col-
lege life. She must have shown by
a marked devotion to her alma mater
and her helpfulness to others, the true
college spirit. Not over one-fifth of
each senior class may be chosen.
Agnes Scott heartily congratulates
these girls who have had this high
honor conferred upon them.

in 1889 our present A. S. C. was the
Decatur Female Seminary, with an

of whom were boarders? Did you know

it’s time you were finding out. Read

If you don't, |

Dr. Gaines’ new book, “The Story of |

Agnes Scott College,” and learn
scores of things that you didn’t know
before.

This little book

explains all the

stages through which Agnes Scott has |

passed from 1889 to 1922. It was
first an elementary grammar school,
with about four teachers and a very
small number of students. Then it
graduated to a high school, from high
school to institute and finally from
ar institute to a college of the high-
est rank. The same story describes
the struggles, financial and otherwise,
of Agnes Scott, the erection of its
buildings, and the enlargement of its
faculty, an interesting history,
deed.

Dr. Gaines has been able to make
the book vitally interesting because

his life and the history of the college}

can hardly be separated. If it had
not been for Dr. Gaines, there would
haye been no Agnes Scott. It was
his idea in the yery beginning, since
he has always been extremely inter-
ested in Christian education. Even
before he was president, he acted as
head of the school, employed all the
teachers and taught the Bible, con-
tinuing, however, as pastor of the
Decatur Presbyterian church. For

will always remember the Thanke-

remember the Christmas dinner be-

were beautiful and picturesque; their
speeches were amusing and interest-

Was a great success.

In White House Martha Lee Tolliver
took the part of George Washington,
Ruth Keiser was Martha Washington,
Harriet Scott was Betsy Ross, Laura
Oliver represented LaFayette, Sarah
Till was Thomas Jefferson, Ruth Vir-
den represented the venerable Ben-
jamin Franklin, Ruth Pirkle was Dan-
iel Boone, Althea Stevens took the
part of Francis Scott Key, and Lil-
burne Ivey was Patrick Henry.

In Rebekah Scott dining room Mary
Knight and Jeanette Archer were
Martha and George Washington, Ro-
berta Love was the maker of the first

the beloved LaFayette, Nell Buch-
anan filled the part of Thomas Jeffer-
son, Frances Oliver was Benjamin
Franklin, Elizabeth Brown strode in
the boots of Danie] Boone, Ruth Hall
was Francis Scott Key, and Margarete
Colville was Patrick Henry.

The dance afterwards was a climax
to the holiday and the delicious din-
ner. For once, we were all dressed
up and actually had some place to
go. The peppy orchestra kept our
feet moving except when the seniors
danced the minuet. These, in couples
as they danced, were: Miss Ruth

Mrs. Faw and the Embryology class
served refreshments, which consisted
of tea, nut-bread, crackers, and lump |
sugar. There was a special lump of)
sugar for Miss MacDougall, which was
tied up in white paper and ribbon. |
When she opened it she found it was |
a wrist watch which the Biology De-|
partment wanted her to wear. Spon-)
taneously there broke forth the song:

“O, here’s to Miss MacDougall,
All hail, all hail, all hail her,
There’s nothing that she cannot do.’ |

Other songs followed, among them
serenades to Mrs. Faw, Miss Rother-
mel, and Miss McCaa. It was a happy
time for all those who were there and
a time when many others wished they
were fortunate enough to be study-

Oliver; Miss Caroline Moore, O. Gil-

Miss Lucia Merchison, N. Buchanan;
Miss Hariet Scott, C. Burgess; Miss
Virginia Pottle, A. Stevens.

The minuet, led by Ruth Keiser and
Sarah Till, was an English adaptation,
the Chelsea Reach. The under class-
men discovered that the seniors were
even better actors and dancers than
they had suspected.

When the dance was over and
every guest had told Martha and
George what a perfectly marvelous
time she had had and had said good-
by to the host of famous company,
everyone went away with redoubled
patriotism and college spirit. The
only fault that was found was that

STUDENT ELECTIONS.

It seems almost unbelievable that a whole year has gone by since this

time last year, when we were looking forward to the same all-important
event that is going to happen again in less than a month—an event which
is, of course, elections. Although we can hardly believe our ears when
told that the fifteenth of March has rolled around again, we must indeed
take the calendar’s word for it and begin thinking most seriously about the
girl of our community is really to be the democracy we believe it. A dem-
the future suecess of student organizations will depend.
e Trespo y of elections is one that cannot be waived by a single
girl if our community is really to be the democracy we believe it. A dem-
ocracy does not deserve the name unless every member takes part not
only in its government but in all its activities. The only means of doing
this is by the ballot. Quite obviously, therefore, it is the clear duty of
every girl at Agnes Scott to vote.

No duty can be performed well that is not done thoughtfully; and in
this matter of elections an unusual amount of thinking is necessary. It is
only occasionally that @ girl’s fitness for an office is so marked that no
further consideration of the matter is necessary. The usual problem is to
be able to decide which girl most nearly fits the office and which office is
most suited to the girl. It takes careful thinking to discover either of
these. We would beware, therefore, of thoughtlessly jotting down the first
name that comes to mind.

Furthermore, in this business of voting, let’s be sure that our ballots
represent our own and not another's opinion. Of course, it helps greatly
in deciding on nominations to talk over the situation and discuss the “can-
didates,” but our opinion should not change just because someone else
disapproves of our choice—that is, unless she can offer sufficient proof that
another girl would be better.

Perhaps our last word is most important of all. Certainly it has been
most stressed in times past; but however that may be, it will do no harm
to repeat it. It is this: We do not want our elections to become mere
personal squabbles. Let’s forget that we ever knew the nominee as a
friend or the opposite, as the case may be, and remember only person
best fitted to carry out the job. Then our elections will be successful.

The following officers will be elected:

Student Government—President of Student Government; Vice-President
of Student Government; Secretary of Student Government; Treasurer of
Student Government.
= Y. W. C. A.—President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Annual

tion, “If God knows all about us, even
to our very thoughts, why is it neces-
sary for us to pray to Him and ex-
press them?” This question was fol-
lowed by a discussion as to what con-
stitutes a prayer. Some people were
quite relieved to learn that when they
said “Oh, I wish I might go to a
movie this afternoon,” or some such
thing they were not uttering a prayer.
It is necessary to bring God into a
thought or wish before it becomes a
prayer. For instance, if one’s mother
is iil and she says, “Oh, I wish mother
would get well,” that is a prayer be-
cause God would have to make that
come about, whereas the girl might
go on to the movie on her own ac-
count. The forum closed with the

SUNDAY SCHOOL—OPEN
FORUMS.

Those who came to Sunday school
Sunday morning—and there were
many who did—know just how very
enjoyable our open forum, led by Miss
Randolph can be. And then the peo-
ple who were not there just don’t
know how much they missed.

The Sunday just past, the open
forum consisted of a discussion of
the question, ‘What is Prayer?” First
everyone agreed that it is necessary
to pray to God, especialiy in the
morning and ask His guidance during
the day and then again in the evening
to thank Him for the things the day
has brought. Then came the ques-

DISCUSSION GROUPS FORM-
ED IN THE DORMITORIES.

First Meetings Held On Febru-
ary 12.

Has
God a special plan for your life and

Have you a mission in life?

a special work for you to do that no

one else can do? Is it possible for
you to miss your calling, and what
will happen if you do? Is there a
second plan? How can you find your,
mission, and when you have found it
how can you fulfill it? Have you, as
a college student, a greater obliga-
tion than the girl who has not had
the advantages of education? Have
you even thought about these ques-
tions and what they mean to your
life?

We know that every girl on the
campus is interested in making)
Agnes Scott just the very best place)
possible and is interested in every |
possible way of doing this.

Think what a great thing it would
be if every girl on the campus real-
ized the fact that she has a special
mission in life, and suppose she set
about preparing herself to fill it and
to live a life of the greatest possible
service? Had you ever thought what
a wonderful place Agnes Scott would |
be if this were true? Is there any
plan that we can adopt that would |
help us realize this ideal?

A new plan is being tried from
which we are expecting great results.
This plan is the formation of discus-
sion groups in each of the dormitories |
for the purpose of discussing these
problems which touch our lives so
closely.

These groups meet on every other
Sunday night. Any questions may be
discussed and the discussion is open
to every one. So far there has been
no set program. The questions have
merely been discussed openly. Fur-
ther plans, as to programs, can be
made as they are needed.

There can be no estimate of the
good that may come from these meet-
ings. They bring the girls in .closer
touch with each other as well as
throw light on the various questions.
They give rise to new ideas and new
ities. “They” show “us that merely
living from day to day is not enough.
We must fit ourselves for life-work.
They open up to us new fields of
service and new fields of thought.
If they can help us to seek and find
our purpose in life surely they will
not be in vain.

These are all questions which we
should think about. They are things
that touch our lives. Let’s think
about them every day and see what
new light we can find on them, and
then come to the meeting Sunday
night and talk it over with the other
girls. You will give and receive
something by coming. Lend your
support to the meetings and you will
find something that is really worth
while.

UNTEER CONFERENCE. |

Lectures and Business Meetings
to be on Program.

The Student Volunteer Conference
held at G. N. & I. C. in Milledgeville,
Georgia, was attended by a number
of representatives from Agnes Scott,
both from the Volunteer Band and
from the entire student body.

The representatives left Atlanta |
Friday, February 17, at 12:25 p. m.,
in a special car and returned Monday
afternoon. During their stay they
were the guests of the college and
were graciously entertained. In the
morning, afternoon and in the even-
ing there were lectures and business
meetings. On Saturday afternoon}
the delegates were taken on a long |
automobile drive through the city of |
Milledgeville, stopping at the Insane |
Asylum, where they were shown |
through the wards. |

Every school represented had a|
poster exhibit showing the needs and)
the condition in the foreign field.
These posters were both attractive
and appealing. |

BLACKFRIAR BANQUET.

New Members Received.

Last Friday all the Blackfriars were
enjoying a banquet at the Alumnae

House. We say all, because the so-

called new members were present as
they had already undergone—well, we
really don’t know what. (It’s secret,
they say.) The table was long and
narrow, and extended the entire
length of the tea room. On it the
color scheme, black and white, could
clearly be detected. The black can-
dies upon it burned with a mellow
light. The mints were heart-shaped
and white, while the doilies they were
on were black. The flowers were
white candy-tuff, the bowls they were

|in were black.

The head of the table was occupied
by the president, Sara Till; the foot
by the vice-president, Valeria Posey.
The faculty board present included
Miss McKinney, Miss Sutphen, Miss
Vaney, Miss Alexander, Miss Wilburn,
Mr. Johnston and Mr. Cunningham.
Miss Moses, the Blackfriar coach, was
there and assisted the president in
receiving. Miss Hopkins was a guest
of honor. A charter member of
Blackfriar, Miss Margaret Phythian,
was also present. She was Miss
Alexander’s visitor. The one toast of
the evening, made by Sara Till, was
to “Blackfriars.”

Between’ the
courses, Ruth
wore a clever costume, which empha-
sized a maid’s mode of dress. When
encored, she re-entered carrying a
bask*t of favors, which she ingeni-
ously distributed. Between the next
two courses Valeria Posey gave an
entertaining recitation, which con-
cerned a maiden who was searching
for a heart. This maiden, as the
story goes, entered a shop where she
intended to purchase a heart for her-
self. In the end she lost her own
heart. This story was particularly
interesting as it was given at a time
so near Valentine’s day. The music,
which was a distinct feature of the
evening, was furnished by none 6
than our splendid orchestra. Tts re-
pertoire included good, snappy rags,
as well as selections like the Hymn
to Agnes Scott.

EMORY ‘EAGLETTES”’
_ SEARCH FOR THE ‘‘GIRL
, OF YESTERDAY.”’

Just the sight of a man on the cam-
pus is quite thrilling to every Miss
Agnes—even to the most unromantic
maid. Last Monday afternoon we
were quite excited for there were six
additional men here (not members
of the faculty). Six members of the
Eagle Club from Emory University
came out to initiate two “Haglettes”
into their social club.

This was not a formal call, but it
was rather unexpected, and only
those girls who were strolling about
the campus happened to know about
These fortunate girls were stop-
ped, and the men talked to them!
Some girls are blessed by the gods—
they are always having thrilling ad-
ventures. The initiates, one of whom
was dressed as a farmer and the other
had on a dress suit, stopped every
girl they saw, and asked her if she
were the “Girl of Yesterday.” The
poor girls were at a loss as to what
answer they should make. They
knew that they were not old-fashion-
ed girls, but they were certainly anx-
ious to please. Whether they an-
swered yes or no made no difference,
for they were closely scrutinized by
the boys who were well armed with
flashlights and field glasses, After a
rather close examination the girls
were all informed that they did not
come up to the requirements. The
boys stayed long enough to discover
that the “Girl of Yesterday” does not
attend Agnes Scott.

The Eagles and “Haglettes’” left,
and it is rumored that they made
their way out to Cox College in search
of the same young lady which they
have not found until yet. If, by any
chance, they ever find her, we hope
that they will bring her out to see
us, because we are especially inter-
ested in antiques.

Dearest Pal:

I guess Dan Cupid has nothing to
complain of today, for it’s been ter-
ribly successful for him since morn-
ing, however even Valentine’s day
couldn’t help hopeless me. Of course
TI got dozens of wild-looking things
called valentines with a great mix-
ture of smeary paint from all the kids
at home (they seem to have forgotten
that I’m no longer a child), but no
friend kindly “remitted” candy in a
lovely red heart box or reminded me
of their meagre existence with a gor-
geous corsage. I went to town this
afternoon, and in hungrily watching
all the flowers being sent out, acci-
dentally saw a few boxes addressed
to Agnes Scott. I hopefully dashed
back, merely hoping, but did I find
my name numbered among those lucky
creatures? No, indeed, there sat M.
Thorington’s name, Eunice Evans,
Ruth Keiser, N. Evans, and a dozen
or so other fortunate damsels. Oh, I
wasn't. disappointed, not at all, for
deep down in my heart, I didn’t ex-
pect any, but I do feel kinder sorry
for all those poor unfortunates who
did expect for their lovers to re-
member that a little sentiment is
connected with the 14th. I guess
they got fine valentines, though, with
many meaningful sentiments, that
they could take quite personally if
they wanted to and not as a little
printed verse.

This isn’t exactly connected with
valentines and all that, but it’s some-
what the same. You know I have a

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL

friend here who is a perfect example
of “one in love.” No, she doesn’t
brood around, cease eating and make
up silly poetry as Tennyson’s heroines
do, but she’s just as much in love
as they ever get, only different. I’ve
written you about Helen W. before,
haven’t I? So she doesn’t need an
introduction, but before I go on allow
me to introduce “Jimmy.” Well,
Jimmy, our hero, got sick last week,
and alas, he had to go home to re-
cuperate, so Helen—well, she was
simply a wreck, and immediately be-|
gan studying, tries hard (to forget |
her troubles, I guess, by bringing on
others). Interval of three days.
Enter Helen, dancing around with a)
broad grin. I knew she had heard)
good news from Jimmie then, but lit-
tle did I guess how good it was. Jim-
mie had returned to Emory and per-)
fectly strong enough to make many
trips to Agnes Scott. As for our)
heroine, the continual grin hasn't
worn off yet and she seems absolutely |
delighted about something all the
time.

Ok if I were just a newspaper re-
porter I could make the hit of the
season with a bit of inside dope [|
have. Wouldn’t everybody sit up and
take notice, as you might say, when
the paper came out with this in big
| head lines:

Really, dear, it’s quite tragic, but

Poor Rebecca was hit so hard that
she couldn’t even bear “his” fair

other day, and disposed of him. She

highest bidder in great style and
acted the part of two grief-stricken
widows with great talent. There was
a great and mighty scramble for the
good-looking man, but as only one
could get it, dozens of disappointed
girls turned away and as yet have
no man to cover the dust of their
walls.

Oh, I should be ashamed of myself
for I have a French test and haven’t

you how busy Cupid was today.

COMING ELECTIONS,

Do you know that spring elections
are just about one month off? They
have to take place earlier this year
than usual because the new president
and cabinet of the Y. W. C. A. have
|to be chosen in time to attend the
| Cabinet Training Council, which is

|}to meet at Agnes Scott March 24-26.

The next meeting will be held in| 7s “ust come earlier also

the Propylean Hall on February 28.
All those who are interested are urged
to come to this meeting, so that they
can consider themselves in good
standing when the group is invited
out. Of course one would not antici-
pate an invitation, but Emory has a
very wide-awake German club, too.

Several years ago it was the cus-
tom for the different organizations to
hold elections at various times in the
|spring, entirely independent of each |
other; but they soon learned by ex-
perience that those who elected first
got the best officers, because it was
hard to look ahead to the other elec-
tions which were coming later. So
the custom arose of having one day
set apart for all elections—Student
Government, Y. W. C. A., Athletic
Association, Aurora, Agonistic and
| Silhouette. There are two sets of
|nominations for these officers: com-
mittee nominations, made by a com-
mittee composed of the heads of the
big organizations, together with the
editors and business manager of the
| publications; and popular nominations
|made by the students at large, both
of which nominations are posted a
| week before the election takes place.

If we are to have the very best
| officers possible for next year, we
must each one feel it our individual
|responsibility to think long and hard
before we vote, or even nominate.
We cannot begin too early consider-
ing the offices to be filled and the
girls best suited to each place. The
freshmen who perhaps do not know
all the girls well enough to judge their
ability, may find it helpful to discuss
the matter with old girls; but after
all their final decision must be their)
own, because our officers would not)
be representative unless each girl
voted according to her individua] con- |
science. Let us begin right away

then to think about next year’s offi-
cers, in order that our selection may
be the very wisest possible.

BLACKFRIAR PLAY.

‘“The Man Who Married a Dumb
Wife.’’

“The Man Who Married a Dumb
Wife,” by Anatole France, which is
to be presented on March 4 by the
a very entertaining

Master Leonard Bokal, a Paris
judge, had married a beautiful wife,
a girl of good family and great pos-

eration the fact that she was dumb.
old classmate, Adam Fumee, a
lawyer, came in to see him one day
and found him much worried. On be-
ing asked the cause he told his friend
of his wife’s affliction and of how
much he wished she might be cured.

Adam informed the judge that a
well-known doctor lived right around
the corner from the judge’s own
home—one who had gained his fame
by releasing the tongues of dumb
women of Paris. But he warned his
friend that there were some advan-
tages in having a dumb wife.

Nevertheless Leonard dispatched a
servant at once for the doctor, Master
Simon Colline.. With much joy he
told Catherine that a great doctor
was coming who would release her
tongue. The doctor came post haste,
and with him a surgeon, apothecary
and two attendants bearing instru-
ments. They performed the all-im-
portant operation with little cere-
mony, cut her tongue ligiments, gave
her a pill, and Catherine spoke.

Yes, Catherine spoke and kept on
speaking. Her first words were,
“Bring me my mirror,” and from that
time on she proved herself accen-
tuated by every motive that ever
made a woman speak. She talked so
much that the judge could not make
out his verdicts, and begged her to
hush. He sent her away with a ser-
vant, and she almost drove the ser-
vant mad with her ceaseless chatter.

In desperation he sent for the doc-!
tor to make her dumb again, but alas,
this the doctor could not do. The)
only cure he could suggest was to}
make the judge deaf so that he could
not hear her. The judge would not
consent until she had come in and
again almost driven him wild with her
chatter. At last he submitted, be-
came deaf, and poor Catherine chat-
tered as uselessly as she had tried |
to speak in the past.

Far From It,
“What did you think of the play?”
‘T'll never be able to convince my-
self that such a show should be sub-|
ject to an amusement tax.”

hungry as everything!” The listener
might have been filled with surprise
and might have wondered whence and
why all of the voices expressing haste
and hunger when the last dinner bell
had rung five minutes before. Had
she stopped for a few minutes in the
hall she would have seen a bunch of
sweater and tam-clad girls, giggling
and enjoying life to the utmost, file
forth from a spot known to a few
on the campus as the day pupils’
cloak room.

Everybody had some kind of pack-
age in her arms and gaily started
forth despite the clouds in the sky

“Judging the future by the past” she
thought very likely that all would be
drenched before returning to A. S. C.

Under Miss Rothermal’s direction
the route was taken out Candler
street and all went singing and talk-
ing and having a good time in gen-
eral. When the top of the long
hill was reached everybody assembled
to decide what the next direction
should be. It was decided that it
would be the best way to turn to the
right and there was a red slippery
road in front but it did not seem to
disturb anybody.

At last a suitable place was found,
sticks were gathered and a fire
started. Then sticks were gathered

,and sharpened for roasting purposes,

and now the fun began sure enough.

unwrapped and as soon as the fire
was in the right condition in went
about twenty sticks with weiners on

altogether different and means a whole
lot more because we know each other

With flowers on his brow,

Who woke the love of seventeen,
Nor is forgotten now!

Two is the loyal friend,
The comrade of the years,
Whose kindly hands can smooth

The little hurts and fears.

Three is the little lad
Who needs my comfortings,
And four, the crisp-tongued busi-

Absorbed in weighty things.

Five is my lover man,
Tender, fine and true—

And yet, I love each one the same,
For all the five are you!

DAY OF PRAYER.

The Y. W. C. A. would like to re-
mind everyone that February 26 has
been set as a Day of Prayer for stu-
dents all over the world. The fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter from
the National Y. W. C. A.:

“There comes a call from the
World’s Student Christian Federation
President, Dr. John R. Mott, to us, as
students of the many nations, ask-
ing us to dedicate the day of February
26th to each other. It is called a day
of prayer and I love to translate that
into the thought of a day of giving—
just a wonderful day of giving to each
other. For after all, that is what in-
tercessory prayer is, a way of giving
our deepest and best to each other.

Through our share in the Student
Friendship Fund we have already en-
tered into fellowship with the stu-
dents of Europe and Asia, but even as
we prepare for this Day of Prayer, we
are mindful of the acute suffering and
privation which many still experience.

Surely the Day of Prayer should be
but an expression in one day of a
life of intercession which we are
learning to live three hundred and
sixty-five days in the year. Some one
has said that instead of one Thanks-
giving Day we ought to have one
Grumbling Day and three hundred and

Blackfriars Play on March 4

ALL STAR CAST.

Every one who saw the Blackfriar
plays last November (and that includes
most everybody except those who were
too lame to walk and too heavy to be
carried) will be glad to hear that this
club is going to give another play
soon; in fact, on the evening of March
the 4th.

The play, a comedy, is “The Man
Who Married a Dumb Wife,” and
“them as knows” say that it’s popu-
larity ought to rival that of the plays
presented the first semester. It is in
two acts, and after the French custom,
in which language the play was origin-
ally written, there is no break between
the scenes in the acts.

The leading characters are Charlotte
Keesler, who takes the part of Leo-
nard, and Sarah Till, who is Catharine.
Both characters are striking contrasts
to those formerly taken by Sarah and
Charlotte. Sarah, last year, was “lead-
ing lady” in “The Green Moth,” and
in the out-door play, “Prunella,” was
the speechless, motionless statue;
while in the coming play she is to be
anything but speechless and motion-
less. Charlotte, during her member-
ship in Blackfriars, has taken impor-
tant parts in more than one play.
Those who enjoyed seeing her as a
bride last year and as an Irish police-
man last semester will surely be in
the chapel early to see her go mad.

The complete cast is Eleanor Hyde,
Master Adam; Laura Oliver, Master
Simon Colline; Sarah Belle Brodnax,
Master Serafin Dularier, Georgia May
‘Little, Master Jean Mangier; Nell
Buchanan, Madame de la Bruin; Que-

r

Alison; Carolyn Smith, lackey; Pocha-
hontas Wight, blind man; Isabel Fer-
guson and Elizabeth Griffin, attendants
of doctor; Mildred Pitner, lackey;
Frances Bitzer, chimney sweep; Jose-
phine Schnessler, water-cress man;
Mary Knight, orphan girl.

Rehearsals have been taking place
three times a week under the super-
vision of Miss Moses, but they will
occur more frequently as the date for
the play approaches.

One of the outstanding features of
“The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife”
is the opportunity it gives for a rich
and harmonious color scheme. Miss
Moses has carefully worked out an
artistic scheme for the stage and the
plans for the costumes promise a treat
for the eye. The period in which the
story takes place calls for the long
flowing robes of the Medieval Ages,
always attractive and effective.

A number of the Freshmen who re-
cently went through the mystic rites
of Blackfriar initiation and immedi-
ately thereafter experienced the pleas-
ures of a Blackfriar banquet, were
thrilled the next day to find that they
had been cast for small parts in the
play. The fact that the parts were
small dampened their spirits not at
all, for they had learned already one
of Blackfriar’s important lessons: to
take advantage of every opportunity.
So “The Man Who Married a Dumb
Wife” will mark their dramatic debut.

HAMILTON HOLT TO BE NEXT
LECTURER,

The lecture association has brought
to us many lecturers of whom A. S. C.
is justly proud. We have heard with
pleasure Dr. Divine, Dr. Robinson, and
last of all, and,certainly one of the
most interesting of all speakers, Dr.
Stockard, who spoke to us last week.

On the 23d of March, we are to have
another treat by our so generous lec-
ture association, Mr. Hamilton Holt,
who is a man great in the eyes of the
public. His work has been much and
varied. At present Mr. Holt is consult-
ing editor of the “Independent and
Weekly Review,” of which he was re-
cently editor. During the past sever-
al years, Mr. Holt has been an ardent
supporter of the League of Nations
and of Wilson. Such a great admirer

Somebody said—for the hundreth

Another somebody—having French

disposition thereby mapped, “Oh, tell
us news!”

The first somebody responded
“That’s not meant for news—that’s
emphasis,”

The following is meant for emphasis
—and news. Theres an organization
on the campus very much at your
service, and incidentally quite anxious
to “put you in the paper” K. U. B. of
course. But even such live reporters
as the members of K. U. B. can't cover
all the important news all the time.
So show your co-operation and your
executive ability, you leaders of organ-
ization, and presidents, and chairmen,
and givers of parties. Write a phrase
naming your particular news item on
the one remaining slip of paper not
marred, marked I mean, with chemis-
try equations and French II notes, and
hand it to any willing K. U. B’s. She
will interview you then and there,
and twenty-four hours thereafter you'll
see yourself and the particular college
activity written up in the Constitution
or Journal “large as life and twice as
natural,”

That much was emphasis! This is
the news (news should always be
strikingly stated at the beginning of
an article). Let K. U. B. doit. Please
don’t send in articles on your own.

Plan Adopted For New House
in Student Government
Organization

OFFICERS ELECTED FROM
ALL CLASSES.

The student body at a recent Student
Government meeting adopted a plan
for a second house in the organization
of the Student Government Associa-
tion, which is to be given a trial this
semester before it is incorporated in
the constitution. The object of this
lower house or Students’ Council, as
it shall be called, is to bring more
sirls in touch with student government
work, to aid in fostering throughout
the college student government ideals,
and to form an organization through
which constructive work may be effi-
ciently carried on. This new plan
provides that there shall be the execu-
tive committee, practically as it is
now, and the Students’ Council which
will work together. The executive
committee, after this year, will consist
of its present officers and one repre-
sentative from each class and one from
the irregulars. Its work and duties
will be the same as those of the pres-
ent executive committee. The Stu-
dents’ Council will have thirty-seven
members; fifteen Seniors, ten Juniors,
five Sophomores, four Freshmen, three
Irregulars, and one day student. The
executive committee will act on the
Students’ Council. In addition to the
class representatives the editor of the

Agonistic, the president of .the -Ath-
letic Association, the presidents of th
four_classe and ofthe rrezuigns ‘
vice-president of ¥. W..C, A., and

one representative from the day stu-
dents will be members of the Stutiante’
Council. This Council is not to have”
any power to change a decision of the
executive committee, but is to be re-
sponsible for backing up the decisions
of the committee. It will receive regu-
lar reports from the executive com-
mittee as information. The first vice-

| president of Student Government Asso-
ciation will be chairman of the Council
}and will appoint the committees of the
Council. Among the standing commit-
_tees there will be a census committee,
/a committee on open discussion meet-
|ings, a committee on inter-collegiate
| work, and a library committee. The
Council will have a great deal of work
to do and will find that the college
spirit will be influenced by them to a
|great degree. One object in forming
the Council is to have an organization
through which the ideals of the Stu-
dent Government Association will be
strongly upheld in every way. There
will be thirty-seven girls definitely con-
nected with the work of the Associa-
tion, and their aim should be to make
every girl at Agnes Scott feel her own
responsibility and connection with stu-
dent government.

The classes have elected their rep-
resentatives during the last week. The
Senior representatives are Martha Lee
Taliaferro, Emily Thomas, Marion
Hull, Mary Floding, Jeanette Archer.
The Junior representatives are Chris-

|tine Evans, Virginia Ordway, Alma
Siegle, and Elizabeth Hoke. The
Sophomore representatives are:

| Frances Gilliland and Emmie Ficklen.
|The Freshman representative is Mary
| Anne McKinney; the Irregular is Nell
Esslinger.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR DR.
STOCKARD,

Last Thursday when the first supper
bell rang, one could hear extraordinary
sounds and could see extraordinary
sights in Inman and White-House and
Lupton. For instance, trunks were be-
ing unlocked and opened, silver and
gold slippers were being taken out,
and every one seemed to be talking.
“Mary, please hook me up,” said one
girl, who is never ready before hand,
“‘T'll never get there on time.” And
But where are these fair
damsels going? Why, Dr. Stockard,
the distinguished lecturer of the even-
ing, is going to dine in White-House
The dining-room was very gay looking
that evening as every one looked so
charming and delighted. After eating,
drinking, and being merry, every one
went to the chapel. Besides the col-
lege community, there were many vis-
itors from Atlanta including students
from Emory and Oglethorpe. Also,
members of the State Biology Associa-
tion were present. We will not stop
now to tell of the interesting and di-
dactic lecture Dr. Stockard delivered,
Let us see what happened afterwards.

The scene of action changed from
the chapel to the lobby of Rebekah
Scott. There a reception was given to
Dr. Stockard by the Lecture Associa-
tion. Such a lovely reception it was!
It was a beautiful sight to see, and it
was evident that Mary Cox had been
pressing evening dresses all that after-
noon. Although our friends from
Emory and Oglethorpe had been busily
engaged taking notes during the lec-
ture, at this time, they ceased such
studiousness and seemed to enjoy the
reception thoroughly. The members
of our faculty were also there as well
as some members of the State Biology
Association. After Dr. Stockard had
shaken hands with every one, and
every one had enjoyed the delicious
refreshments, the “blink” came, alas,
too soon.

The next day, the noted scientist
was entertained at lunch by the offi-
cers of the State Biology Association.
Members of our Biology department
were present. The luncheon took
place in the tea-room. The reception
which followed was in the parlors of
the Alumnae House.

We do not know what Dr. Stockard
did with the rest of his time, of which
he so kindly gave us a good part. But
we do know he had relatives in At-

Vocational Guidance Week.

If you ask an Agnes Scott girl what
she is planning to do when she is
through college she is very likely to
answer, “I do not know.” Although
she feels she would like to do every-
thing that is good and uplifting she
can not decide anything more specifi-
eally. Years ago “Agnes” would have
liked to be a “lady behind a candy
counter,” or “just a grown-up lady who
does not have to study lessons.” Since
these vocations are not thought as
wonderful as they formerly were, the
Y. W. C. A. is interested in helping
girls consider many splendid oppor-

tunities for service.

CELEBRATION ON FOUNDERS’
DAY,

When we have holidays and fun and
frolics and celebrations here at Agnes
Scott we always enjoy such things for
their own sake, for holidays don’t come
often enough to be scorned, even by

the wisest of us, as we all know very
well. And then such a holiday as
Founders’ Day was especially enjoy-
able—thanks to the Seniors who

planned such a delightful entertain-
ment for us, and succeeded in having

Martha Washington, Benjamin Frank-
lin, Betsy Ross, Patrick Henry and
La Fayette with us—but there! You

You saw them with your own eyes and
heard Thomas Jefferson’s opinion of
modern poetry and Patrick Henry’s

speech, and La Fayette’s message and
Daniel Boone’s greeting from the
frontiers, and Frances Scott Key's sen-
timents on jazz music.

But, besides the fun we always have |

there’s another reason why we like
holidays and that’s because. holidays

girls back to us and of course we're!

always glad when they come back.

This holiday was not by any means |

a failure in this respect, for besides
the distinguished guests whom I have
mentioned before we also had with us
many of the alumnae, Among them
were Edith Hightower, Julia Heaton,
|Coma McCaskill, Mrs. Henry Newton,
Pauline Smathers, Emma Jones and
many others. The president of the
Alumnae Association, Mary Wallace
Kirk, was here also.

We were very glad to have all those
old girls back with us, and we feel

For this purpose we are to have a
speaker from the Red Cross who is to
tell us something of county work, pub-
lic health, nursing, etc. Many girls
will be interested in the juvenile court.
It is said already that several students
are attending the sessions of the court
and are presenting various cases.
(Perhaps we shall have some renown-
ed lawyers from this small beginning.)
It is hoped that more girls will become
interested through the lecture given.

Then a speaker from the Associated
Charities is to talk on the great work
done through the charities. Perhaps
there will be other speakers during
this vocational guidance week.

Health.

Do you remember when you were
ill you said to yourself:

“Tf ever I get well I will take such
good care of my health that I never
will be sick again.”

And now that the ache and pain has
gone you can not remember how it
felt, try as hard as you will. But if
your memory fails your will need not.
Every one of us knows the laws of
health. It is not a matter of ignorance
but of indifference and carelessness,
If you went to the open forum on
health last Monday you must have
gained many valuable suggestions.

and Miss Daugherty a rest.

sure that as they sat there in the pres-
ence of those great celebrities of Revo-
lutionary days that they remembered
the time when other George Washing-
tons had done the honor and other
Marthas had presided gracefully at the
festive board, and other Daniel Boones
had sent game from the back-woods.

To those of us who knew them as
students perhaps their presence called
up this memory also and a memory of
many other happy days they spent
with us, and we felt that this was the
place where they belonged and it was
like old times to have them: among us
again.

To those “*"S"Who did not know _
them before their presence was an
inspiration to press on and achieve

field, on the gymnasium arena and win
great victories such as they won in
combat with French and Latin and
Math and English II. To us, who are
Freshmen, these seem infinitely brave
and great, in the light of what they
have accomplished, and when we see
these heroic alumnae who have cov-
ered themselves with glory, we, too,
are inspired to keep on trying so that
we can come back and see others shar-
ing after us, the heritage which we
now share with these alumnae.

FRESHMAN COMMISSION.

One of the very nicest things about
the Y. W. C. A. is the Freshman Com-
mission, or so the Freshmen think.

It was the first organization in those
early and never-to-be-forgotten days of
pig tails and strangeness and home-
sickness, to bind the new class closer
together than ever and to give each
member of it a chance to meet and
know some other member. In fact,
the only time a Freshman dared to
“speak her mind” without fear of being
completely squelched by an overpow-
ering Sophomorish glance, was at com-

mission meeting. The one place in
which, oh happy thought! there were
no Sophomores.

Of course the primary object of the

commission is to offer an opportunity
for an informal discussion of the prob-
lems and difficulties which seem, some-
how or other, to confront Freshmen at
all times. Some one is always dis-
couraged or blue; some teacher is;
always harder and stricter than she!
has any earthly right to be; lessons
are miles too long—mercy! it takes
you all night to do Latin Prose and
| then you flunk it!
And so it is delightful and extremely |
| encouraging to have an upper-class- |
man—who has some how evaded the}
| pitfalls of three years at Agnes Scott,
sympathize with you and tell you that |
everything will be perfect bye and bye,
that the first semester is by far the|
| hardest, that the teachers aren’t really |
and truly as bad as they seem, that!
everything else is all right, if you don’t
worry. Now, it’s a peculiar thing, but
when you leave a meeting like that,
you feel at least 100 per cent better
than when you started out for it.

The Freshman Commission has ac-
|complished more good than it realizes
itself. It is chosen four times a year,
so that every one has a.chance, at)
some time, to be a “commissioner.”

The Commission for January-March
is as follows: Louise Hannah, Eliza-|

ALUMNAE NEWS

“Alumnae news” at A. S. C. is often | for Agnes Scott. In order that they
may help her more efficiently to attain
that “best” they are organizing now an
Alumnae Council, which is to discuss
problems which interest both students
and alumnae. The body is to be made
up of representatives of the Alumnae
Association, of a representative of the
faculty, Miss Hopkins, and a student,
Nell Buchanan. One fact which surely
augers success for the Council is that
that most loyal and efficient of our
alumnae, Miss Mary Wallace Kirk,
was here for its first meeting. This
first meeting was held on February the
twenty-fourth in the Alumnae House,
and we all wishing, in its beginning,
and in all that it may do, the very
greatest accomplishments for our
Alumnae’s Council!

times not news at all to most of us, for
our dear old alumnae love their Alma
Mater so truly that many of them have
not left us, and many of them are con-
stantly coming back to us, so with a
goodly representation of them in our
midst, we are kept well posted on the
subject of what is happening among
old Agnes Scott girls.

But girls do love to “gab,” even
about news that is common property,
and a piece of alumnae news that is
especially fit material for ‘“gabbing”
has just reached us this week. When-
ever “the students are asked to re-
main,” when the chapel grows sud-
denly full of chatter, then upon in-;

and Emma Jones gets up to talk to us,
then we truly prick up our ears. Well,
last Tuesday that very thing happened,
and strange were the tales that those
ears listened to, indeed. ‘Did you ever)
hear,”” Emma asked, “of the days when
we all marched two and two, to church,

The sun was hot upon the beach,
Her suit was little sister's.
She thought she was having a won-
derful time, but
All is not bliss that blisters.

“Some things go a long way,” said
the monkey as he wound his tail
around his neck.

Kinney brought up the rear? Did you
ever hear of the times when the car
line ran right in front of Dr. Gaines’
house?” Some of us had and some of)
us hadn’t, but at any rate we all heard
with all our ears now. These and
many more strange and funny things
about the days of the “Institute” and
so on, down to our own day and gen-
eration, we heard. But the laughable
things were not all for Emma grew
very serious later and told us about
the big things that had been happen-
ing behind the scenes. Agnes Scott,
as we know and love her, had been
being made by those who love her
most, and have given their loyal serv-

ice to her. “And the chief among
these,” Emma said, “has not been con-

tent with making history but has writ-
ten it too.” Last summer Dr. Gaines
wrote “A History of Agnes Scott” and
gave it to the alumnae and now they
are selling it for the benefit of their
new house. So here’s a grand chance

ATHLETIC NEWS

HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
SEEN THRU ATHLETIC
SPECTACLES.

February 22nd was variously cele-
prated at Agnes Scott along the ath-
letic line.

First on the schedule at 9:30 were
two basket-ball games. We wonder if
the rings were as sore from the goals
thrown through them as the elbows
and knees of players were from con-
tact with an immovable brick wall and
a hard wood floor. After much earnest
effort and necessary expenditure of
energy, accompanied by the shouting
of an appreciative holiday audience,
the Freshmen defeated their Senior
opponents, and the Sophomores won
from their Junior competitors.

This brought the percentage up to
750 for the Sophomores who have won
three games and lost one; .500 for the
Seniors with two victories and as
many defeats; .200 for the Juniors and
Freshmen, each credited with two vic-
tories and three defeats.

After the games Miss Gibbons, Nan-
nie Campbell, and eight other hikers
left for Stone Mountain. The ten-mile
walk thither was snappy, though the
sun rather delighted in giving a fine
coat of tan to those in the open, and
the hard macadam road tended toward
blistered feet.

Upon arriving at the Mountain six
of the faithful undaunted surmounted
this obstruction while the rest waited
at the foot in the shade of the trees.
All these, regardless, enjoyed the lunch
and the street car ride home.

Other less venturesome hikers vis-
ited the precincts of Decatur, some
taking lunch and spending the day out.
The tennis courts were in use, as those
interested combined pleasure with
practice in anticipation of the ap-|
proaching tennis tournament.

On the whole, Agnes Scott spent a
rather athletic holiday in memory of

at

On Friday, February 29th, the day
students held a peppy hike with Ruth
Hall as honor guests. Upon their re-
turn they felt rather more at ease in|
contemplation of possible attendance
at a Tuesday night sing, for Ruth Hall
had taught them the newest songs and
yells.

They wish to express their thanks
to her for bringing them into this
closer contact with the life of the
college, and hope that she may have}
been repaid for her courtesy by new-|
made friends among the day students.

HIKE TO PINE HILL.

With a “Yo, ho ho” and several bot-
tles of pickles, sandwiches, and vari-
ous other goodies that the house-
keepers provided, fifty-three Hotten-
totters hiked to Pine Hill Saturday.
They left at four o’clock in the after-
noon, chaperoned by Miss Gaylord and
Miss Rothermel. As soon as the hikers
reached Pine Hill, they made a camp-
fire, fixed the most wonderful picnic
spread, and ate to thew heart's con-
tent.

After supper they gathered around
the fire, played games and sang every
song they could think of. They en-
joyed playing “Three-Deep,” “Jacob
and Rachael,” and many other games

which took them back to their
childhood. And such songs as there
were! They made the country ring

with their “Just A-Wearying for You,
“Hottentot,” other songs old and new,
and especially “Oh, Oh, Oh.”

After the girls had aired their voices
for a considerable time, and when it
began to get dark, it was suggested
that the wandering ones turn their
footsteps homeward. “And then the
fun began,” for this hike had been
advertised for weeks and weeks as a
moonlight hike, and all of the girls
were thrilled at the idea of hiking back
to the college in the moonlight. The
moon is such a curious fellow, how-
ever, that he absolutely refused to
come out, and the romantic girls had
to come back by a very unromantic
light—they had to use flashlights.

BASKET-BALL GAME.

Friday, the 17th, in two exciting con- |
tests witnessed in the old gym the|

fourth set of basket-ball games in the
present series were played.

NELL ESSLINGER’S RECITAL.

(Continued from page 1.)

of March in the chapel we shall hear
our own Nell Esslinger in her grad-
uating recital. She has that wonder-
ful gift of tone and expression, the
combination of which makes a real
singer.

Nell has a lovely, strong, sweet con-
tralto voice. She has a range of

octa

She is at sorent the soigiat at St.

Phillips’ in Atlanta. She is the pres-|
ident of the Glee Club here at Agnes
Scott. President of the German Club, |
ex-president of the Irregular Class and
has recently been elected to the “New
House” of Student Government, these
testify to her popularity here.

She will have to assist her in her
recital her brother, Mr. Russell Esslin-
ger, of Huntsville, Ala., a tenor, Mrs.
Johnson will be her accompanist. Mr.
Esslinger is a graudate of the Univer- |
sity of Alabama and for four years was.
the soloist on the Glee Club of that
University. He not only has a fine
tenor voice, but he is also an accom-)
plished accompanist. He has studied
with Mr. Johnson.

An outside honor to a girl of Agnes |
Scott is an honor for the school too, |
and again Agnes Scott is to be honor- |
ed as well as Nell, because she has
been chosen for the contralto part in
the Faust Operalogue to be given at
Cable Hall some time soon.

Nell is to receive her certificate in
voice from Agnes Scott this year and
next year she is going to New York |
to continue her study in voice. We
love her for her sweet, friendly per- |
sonality. We love her too for her
voice, but most of all we love her just
because it’s Nell. We, each one here
at Agnes Scott wish for the greatest |
success, which we are sure she will
have.

of Wilson is he that it is thought that
he is at the bottom of the movement
for the memorial foundation to Wil-
son.

“In 1918 Mr. Holt visited all the
battlefronts of the Allied armies as
the official guest of the various gov-
ernments. When the covenant of the
League of Nations was drafted, Mr.
Holt was in Paris, and Colonel House
apppinted him as liaison officer be-
tween the American delegation and
the League to enforce peace. Later,
Mr. Holt toured the United States
with Mr. Taft and others, speaking in
favor of the League. Mr. Holt visited
England, France and Germany again
in the summer of 1920, and since then
has kept in close touch with the situ-
ation here and abroad. During the
presidential campaign Mr. Holt took
a leading part as an advocate of Amer-
ican entrance into the League of Na-
tions, and has maintained this posi-
tion ever since.

Mr. Holt is a man of marked ability.
|He has an A. B. degree from Yale,
and has taken post-grauduate courses
at Columbia University. In foreign:
| affairs Mr, Holt has also been renown-
ed. The kings of Italy and Greece, the
President of France and the Emperor
|of Japan have honored him. He is
jalso the author of “Undistinguish-
ed Americans,” “Commercialism and
Journalism,” and the introduction

to ex-president Taft’s book, “The
United States and Peace.”

Mr. Holt will lecture on “America

ter Mr. Holt will come Amy Lowell,
the poetess, whom we are anticipating
great pleasure in hearing.

The lecture association this year
has done much for A. S. C. in bring-
ing these many eminent people to us
and, if there is (and there is every
indication that there will be) as great
an audience to hear Mr. Holt as seized
the opportunity of hearing Dr. Stock-
ard, the wide interest in him and his
popularity are both assured,

MRS. SYDENSTRICKER AT
MONTREAT.

To those of us who are planning to
be in Montreat next summer it will
be welcome news that Mrs. Syden-
stricker is to be there, too. She is
not only to be there but will lecture.
Her lecture will be given during Wo-
man’s Week. During this week «will
be celebrated the founding of the Wo-
man’s Auxiliary of the Southern Pres-
byterian church. This is the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the founding of
the organization and as Mrs. Syden-
stricker is one of the charter mem-
pers, being at the time the organiza-
tion was founded the member from
Mississippi, it is very fitting that
she should be the speaker of the cele-
bration. The Auxiliary is composed of
members from all of the Southern
states in which there is an organized
presbyterian church. The Auxiliary
has recently founded at Tuscaloosa,
Ala., a school for negro girls. In view
of these facts Mrs. Sydenstricker’s
subject “The Negro,” is both appro-
priate and practical. She will lecture
on the problem of the relationship be-
tween the two races. Mrs sydenstrick-
er herself laughingly remarked that
she was chosen to speak on that sub-
ject because the negroes all like her,
but we all know that there are deeper
reasons than that.

the student body at Wellesley-college,
who has been serving as the national
chairman of the field councils of the
student Y. W. C. A. movement, will
preside at the meeting at Hot
Springs, until the election of a pres-
jdent. Miss Welch has called a meet-
ing of the student executive commit-

The Gate to Knowledge

LETTER FROM DR. STOCKARD

DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY.
Cornell University Medical College
First Avenue and 28th Street
NEW YORK CITY.

February 24, 1922.
Dear Miss MacDougall:-

I must tell you again how much I
enjoyed being at Agnes Scott College
—and what a most enthusiastic im-
pression the faculty, the students and
the place made upon me. It was a
great pleasure to be able to come
there; and I am much indebted to
you for your kindness in wanting me
to come and for the very hospitable
entertainment I enjoyed while there.
Meeting the Georgia State Biological
group was a privilege and pleasure
and it is fine that you have such an
interested crowd.

The audiences were the most appre-
ciative that I have ever lectured to—
and it was a great pleasure to address
them. They certainly are a keen and
wide-awake group, and it must be fine
to teach in such a school. I think
I shall have to send my little girl
down there when she grows up for I
never have been able to get over my
native love for Southern people.

Most sincerely,
Cc. R. STOCKARD,

The Gomma Tau banquet, given last
Thursday night in the Tea-room, fol-

lowed the invitation of the two new

while smaller baskets of jonquils were
decorative at each end. Yellow can-
dles in silver candlesticks were artis-
tically arranged about the baskets of
flowers, At each place there were in-
geniously made daffodil containers of
yellow mints. The place cards were
also in keeping with the color scheme;
for, written in one corner in gold was
V. T. A. and written in the center
was the member’s name.

FRANCES CHARLOTTE MARK-
LEY’S POEM IN ‘‘POETS
OF THE FUTURE.”’

Agnes Scott Girl Honored.

Agnes Scott is proud of all her
Alumnae but she is especially proud
of those to whom any honor has come.
Agnes Scott is proud of Frances Char-
lotte Markley because of her wonder-
ful record here as a student and of the
many honors she received when here;

but she is also proud of her because

| just recently she has had her poem,

which she wrote last year in her

course in verse and which was printed
in one of the Auroras of last year,
printed in Dr. Sehnittkind's book,
“Poets of the Future.”

Every college, practically in Amer-
ica send to him their college maga-
zines and from them he selects the
poems he considers the best and prints
them in a book, which he calls “Poets
of the Future.” For three years Ag-
nes Scott has been honored by hav-
ing her girls mentioned in this book.
In 1921 Frances Charlotte Markley’s
poem was published and to three oth-
er girls he gave honorable mention,
they were Charlotte Newton, Blizabeth
Enloe, and Mary Ann Justice. In
1920 Margaret Bland, Janef Preston
and Alice Cooper were honored and
given a place among the “Poets of
the Future.”

These poems were all written in
the verse course that is given here in
the English Department and were
printed in the Auroras. We are proud
of our Aurora and also of the poems
that first printed there, have now been
given a place in the book of Dr.
Schnittkind, “Poets of the Future.”
The girls, who have written the poems
are not the only ones honored by hay-
ing their poems printed, but Agnes
Scott, herself, is honored.

We are proud of our Alumnae. They
have gone out into different parts of
the world and have reflected glory
on Agnes Scott by their achievements.
We are especially proud of Frances
Charlotte Markley, of the Class of '21,
who had many honors while here as
a student, such as editor of the Agon-
istic, and of the Silhouette and of
being founder of the Journalistic Club
K. U. B. and many others, who has
had the honor of being the only one
of the Class of ’21 to have a poem in
the book ‘Poets of the Future” for
this year. We are so glad to have
her back as a member of our faculty
and the new girls too have learned
to love and admire her in this short
time. We are all proud of her and
wish for her the greatest success.

HAIL! THE CONQUERING MAY
QUEEN COMES!

That’s the way we all feel when
we see Mary Knight, now. It is she,
who has been chosen to be crowned
on May Day. By the recent election
she was agreed upon by the students
as the most beautiful and the most
queenly in the Senior Class. Congrat-
ulations, Mary!

The plans for May Day are of course,
not completed, but the old customs
of the choosing of the maids of honor
by the queen is certain to be carried
out again this year. The May Queen,
each year, chooses six maids from
among her friends. These maids ac-
company the Queen and she is usually
crowned by one of them.

This custom has been followed so
long that there is little reason to be-
lieve that it will be changed this
year.

At any rate we all know that May
Day will be a success, especially with
such a competent May Day committee
and such a beautiful Queen.

where a short social converse was
held. In parting every one had fully
decided that the entire evening had
been a pleasant and enjoyable oc-
casion.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING.

The very fact that we are living in this world puts a responsi-
bility on us. But more than that because we are members of families,

‘churches, a college community and are citizens of a great nation, we

must realize that there is a part in the life of thisWorld for each of
us. On a business basis purely, we are answerable to our families
for an enormous debt. Everything we have had since we ean re-

. . a
member has come from them. They have done everything for us and

haye given up much that we might have more. Because we owe evy-
erything to them and because they have put so much trust in us and
are hoping so much for us, we find that our responsibility to be true
to them is very great. Sometimes we take our families for granted
and fail to see just what they are. We get so busy with other
people that we do not have time to be friends with our families, while
all the time they are the best and truest friends we have. We can
never give our families all they have given us, but we can live up to
our responsibility to them at least partly if we are friends with them.

We are responsible to God for the light he has given us and
the commands to do His will. As members of Christian churches we
will always be accountable for the fact that we have given to others
the opportunity of enjoying a more abundant life or that we have
not. There are so many who are without that opportunity, and there
are sO Many Ways in which we can give it to them and at the same
time add to our own lives.

Since women have heen allowed to vote they have been looked
to for clean polities and reform in public life. We all love the coun-
try which we call our own and think of it as being the greatest the
world over. It is the responsibility of women in their influence,
teaching, and voting to make our country a better place, to insist
on the best in everything and to raise the standards and ideals.
The character of a nation’s social and political life depends after
all on the women for they have the most influence; and therefore
they have the greatest responsibility.

A college community can not be efficiently run if every member
does not take some active part in it. Each one has a responsibility
in many different lines, but the greatest is found in Student Govern-
ment. The faculty at our request put the government of student life
into the hands of the students. They expect us to feel our responsi-
bility and to uphold high ideals. A few girls can not keep the
college life what it ought to be. To be true to our college we must
keep ourselves in the ‘‘straight and narrow way’’ and never give up
to the temptations to satisfy our own petty desires,

In every friendship there is a responsibility. No one can lead
another better than a friend. In just that fact lies our grave re-
sponsibility, Every friendship should result in helping and elevat-
ing on both sides. Our friends look to us for the best that we have
and we look to them for their best. As some one has said, it is not
the happiness of ourselves but of many others that we hold in our
hands each day. Most often it is the happiness of our friends that
we can increase or decrease by very little things each day.

All these responsibilities to family, church, nation, college, and
friends are involved in one great responsibility to be true to our-
selves and the ideals which have-been given us.

‘“This above all: to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Nor will we then fail in our responsibility.

r
THE AGONISTIC

On Sunday night we had the pleas-
ure of having Miss Segsworth lead
the Y. W. GC. A. service. Miss Segs-
worth is a traveling secretary for the
Student Volunteer movement.
he us had met her at the Student
Volunteer Conference and were glad
to welcome her to our college.

Miss Segsworth made clear to us

the pressing need for workers on the
foreign field. She also pointed out
the fact that our ability and capaci-
ties would find full development there
whereas in America we might settle
down and “fossilize.” The “lost of
the world would suffer because of the
‘loss’ of our service.”

In the library one may find a table
on which are placed many interesting
pamphlets, which Miss Segsworth left
for us. As you wait five or ten min-
utes for the bell to ring, so that you
may find helpful thoughts that will
read them. In these odd moments,
which otherwise would be lost, you
may find helpful thoughts that will
go through life with you. The pam-
phlets entitled “How to make Christ
Real,” “The Secret Prayer Life’ and
“Call for Character,” will be found
especially helpful.

Industrial Rally.

Last Monday night, March Ist, a
group of Agnes Scott students met
with a group of industrial girls in the
Areade., A delightful supper was sery-
ed, which was heartily enjoyed. Then
there were songs and a general good

Many

DAY STUDENTS DEVOTIONAL
MEETINGS.

Four Groups of Leaders Appoint-
ed to Arrange Meeting.

There is a certain fifteen minutes of
every Tuesday and Thursday which
has a different meaning from every
other quarter hour of every other day
of the week. Perhaps those minutes
mean nothing more to you than just
the last precious moments of “in
place rest” before rushing to lab. or
2:15 class. But to every day stu-
dent Tuesday and Thursday has a pe-
riod between 2:00 and 2:15 which is
set aside for a devotional meeting.
“So on these special days appear

the little poetess warning every one
to leaye off the extra pineapple sand-
wich and save time to walk from the
tea room to the library basement by
exactly two o'clock. For the devotion-

time all around. The presence of
Miss Lumpkin added to the fun and
to the singing. After supper the col-
lege girls gave a stunt which every-
one pronounced great.

Brenau Leads Y. W. C. A.

It will be remembered that some
time ago Ruth Scandreth and Ruth
Hall journeyed to Brenau to lead the
Y. W. C. A. service there. And now
we are so glad to have had several
representatives from Brenau at Ag-
nes Scott. The Sunday night service
under the leadership of the Brenau
students was indeed a splendid meet-
ing.

Vocational Week.

The first day of Vocational Week
the Social Service Department of the
Y. W. C. A. presented a speaker from
the Atlanta Library Training School.
Miss Crumley gave a very helpful
talk on the subject of library work
as a vocation.

College graduates are admitted to
the Atlanta school without examina-
tion. The course lasts one year. At
the end of that time it is easy to
obtain a position for the demand ex-
ceeds the supply of librarians. Miss
Crumley gave us a number of reasons
for undertaking this work. First of
all it is very interesting. It pays well
from the first. Then most of all the
work is educational and therefore up-
lifting. Especially in the south,
where the work is in a pioneer stage,
there are needed trained public li-
brarians to aid in the enlightenment
of the people. Miss Crumley urged

THE FRENCH CLUB PROGRAM

{

The French Club has lately been
alphabetically divided into groups,
each group giving a program in turn,
instead of their being directly under
the control of the French faculty.
The second group, with Ruth Keiser
as chairman, gave its first program
Friday night, March 1st.

One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the program was the play,
“Barbe Bleu,” which being interpre-
ted is the well known story of Blue
Beard. Wicked Blue Beard, his eighth
wife, Marie, and her faithful sister,
Anna, were all there in person and
played their parts very well. All the
other characters were good. The play
was as good as the old story, and
what’s more, we could even under-
stand it!

Hight members of the Club gave an
Alsacien folk dance. This was a new
feature on the usual French Club
program, and the new is always in-
teresting. It showed another phase
of French life. The costumes were
very pretty and picturesque.

al meeting takes place in the day stu-

who take part are all girls who care
to come. The meeting itself is just
a gathering for a simple and sincere
expression of devoton. The program
usually including a sen-
tence prayer,

is informal,

by several of the girls. Catherine
Dennington has had the general man-

agement of the meetings and she has
organized the students who take part

into certain groups. Each group is
composed of a captain and several

girls who will work with her when,

she is in charge of the meeting.

Each group has chosen a definite |

subject—over which is developed and
whose new phases are exhibited each
time the group gives the program.

There are at present four groups un-|

er Frances Gardner, Margaret Brew-
er, Ethel Ware, and
as captains.

The devotional meetings have been
listed under day students’ activities.
but to state this without reserve is to
omit one of the most interesting
phases of the meetings—the talks
which the boarders have contributed.

students have been enthusiastically
enjoyed and we feel like a successful
lecture association when we name
over those who have come and taken
part in the meetings. For this list in-
cludes, Ruth Scandrett, Ruth Hall, Lu-
cile Little, Eloise Knight, Olivia Lieb-
heit, Mary Goodrich and Vic Howie.

So, all in all, we care a great deal

Of course the program must have
its serious side. This side was brought
up in the Current Events. Martha
Eakes, Anna Meade and Peyton Stin-

French life, interesting to English and
French alike.

The program was a very attractive
one, and showed that the programs

under group management are certainly

successful. Al] the members enjoyed
it thoroughly.

Y. W. C. A. Training Council.

Everyone is looking forward with
great interest to Friday, March 24th,
for that is the day delegates come to
us from various other colleges. It
is such a privilege to have these
girls from Brenau, G. N. & I. C,,
Shorter, Wesleyan, and the University
of Georgia. Their presence will
give us a new point of contact with
our sister colleges of Georgia and
will greatly broaden our outlook.

Beside the forty delegates we ex-
pect to have Miss Lumpkin, Miss
Leonard, Miss Heller, Secretaries of
the South Atlantic Field, and other
speakers.

While all these friends are with us
they will be very busy attending meet-
ings. Yet in between meetings we
may have a chance to know them. Let
us not think that the Y. W. C. A. cab-
inet does not need our aid in giving
the visitors a good time. These del-
egates are the guests of every girl
in the college, so let every girl try to
know them—and show them true Ag-
nes Scott hospitality.

Sunday Night Service.

The Y. W. C. A. service March 5th
was lead by Miss Bernadine Tracey,
and Miss Elizabeth Webb, of Brenau.
The subject chosen was the “Kingdom
of God.” This impressive service was
indeed helpful and we shall long re-
member it as one of the best we have
ever had.

FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL |

Dear Chum:

I meant to write today, a letter in
the same old way that I have written
heretofore, but spring has made my
spirits soar, so that I can’t control my

words, they warble just like mocking
birds. Spring’s on the ground, it’s in
the air, indeed you find it everywhere.
This morning as to Main I went, my
mind was all on troubles bent, but as
passed the “breath of spring,” then
presto! all my cares took wing. So
then I stopped by the phone pad to
see just what results spring had had
on lovers fancies. Amatory; of course,
it was the same old story.

The pad was full but not for me,
because I’m not that kind you see.
But I must say that in a measure the
joy of others gives me pleasure. Sa-
rah Morehouse gets them by the score, |

but the other day she got one more.
Indeed I’m told there's nothing finer
than getting calls from North Caro-
lina. Long distance makes the heart

grow fonder, when “she” is here and
“he” is yonder, and yet, my dear, I
understand that things are happen-
ing close at hand, to show there’re
other things than distance due to lend
enchantment to the view.

From Buena Vista cometh Joe, to
see Lib Parham, as you know. If
you’d learn more of this fair town,
and those who cause its wide renown.
Jennie Williams could give informa-
tion without a moments hesitation,
and I know that of which T speak for
Bob’s been here to stay a week.

You remember Alice in Wonder-
land, and how she washed herself from
land by letting spill a sea of tears,

that almost came up to her ears. Well,
Helen Crockers in that fix, and looks |
as gloomy as the Styx. For Bob has |
departed from the city and Helen
thinks it is a pity. You wonder why
I like so well, on things like these to
ever dwell, but as I’ve said, my joy
lies in seeing life through others eyes.
Why nothing gives me more delight
than what I saw the other night. |
The Blackfriar play had been so good
(with such a cast, of course it woul
Nell B. was dressed in courtly wise,
and was a sight to charm the eyes.
At least so thought two ardent swain,
I saw one stoop and bear her train.
Dear friend it was a joy to see such
evidence of chivalry.

The bell has rung, and my letter is |
done, so I must now be trottin.’

Your spring-mad,
“Freshie.”

GREEN’ BY THE FRESHMAN.

the occasion: you'll need it. For—
and here’s where the excitement)
comes in—there will be a prize offered
for the most original, best told joke.
If you can’t possibly recall one,
“browse through every single book”
in the library until you find one,
for this prize is no small thing.

And those are really the only Facts
known about the entertainment in gen-
eral, but for the last few days there
have been several dark rumors float-
ing about the campus that a big,
over-powering surprise will be pres-|
ent, also. From a room in Main)
where certain rehearsals have been in|
progress, have come, at intervals,
faint squals and subdued laughter and

many old and rather weird zoological

noises.

So on March 11th put on your best
bibs and tuckers and join in the Sham-
rock revelry for two hours and a
half.

Nothing Else to Do.

Short Cuts to Fame.
By Lisle Bell.

You can become a bearded lady in
a circus, if you’re not too much of a
lady to grow a beard.

You can become a famous juggler,
if you can carry a dozen bottles of
nervous home-brew up from the cel-|
lar without an explosion.

If you bang your piano every night
and your hair every morning, you can
become either a Paderewski or a pub-
lic nuisance.

If you're not afraid of water, ice,
or elephants, you can become a chorus
girl at the Hippodrome.

You may be able to get along with-
out appendix, tonsils and other ap-
paratus, but if you survive an ampu-
tation at the neck, you will be famous.

If you spend ten years losing your
hair, and get it all back with three
applications of something out of a
bottle, you'll be almost as famous as
a bootlegger. z

You can become a millionaire in
your spare time, if you can just spare
enough, and some rich relative leaves
you $998,000.

Realization.

“That extra over there with the red
hat told me she’s happy because she
has met with success. I’m wondering
now what she was referring to.”

“Oh, she’s been here every day for
the past ten years trying for an en-
gagement. This is her first part.”

Impudence.
By Gamaliel Bradford.
[ never saw the man before;
Yet, shocking to relate,
He criticized each thing I wore,
And kissed me at the gate.

His impudence was past belief, |
Though I have known some men; |

Yet it would not be quite a grief
To dance with him again!

Alaska, will open its doors next Sep-
tember. This college is within 100
miles of the artic circle and is be-
lieved to be the world’s “farthest

The first year curriculum will offer
four courses—agriculture, general
science, home economics and science
—under present plans. Special short
courses in mining will be given to
meet the requirements of those un-
able to attend the full college year.

Howard College has outgrown its
present equipment and plans are now
being made for a student campaign to
obtain $15,000 for the purpose of pur-
chasing a new heating plant and im-
proving the campus and buildings. Au
order has also been placed for $5,000
additional laboratory equipment in or-

ATHLETIC NEWS

BASEBALL BATS ON FULL
SWING.

A Team of ‘‘Babe Ruths’’ to be
Picked.

In spite of the winter time weather,
we are sure that spring has come,
for rumors of baseball are floating
all over the campus. In our vocabu-
lary baseball and spring are synony-
mous. Although the real practice does
not begin until after basketball sea-
son, many of the Gym classes have
started warming up, and many home-
runs have already been made on the
Hockey Field.

This year there will be only three
big games in our season, the Sophs
against the Seniors, and the Juniors
against the Freshies. These two
games take place the first part of the
week beginning with March 20th.
The last game is played on the day of
our annual track meet—March 24th
or 26th—by the two winning teams.
After the final game has been played,
an all-star, all-American or Varsity
team (whatever the team wishes to
call itself) will be picked from the
four teams, and those nine girls will
get numerals. Miss Randolph, Miss
Wilburn, a Senior, Junior, Sophomore
and a Freshman will be those who
will choose the lucky nine.

This will be a chance for Agnes
Scott to produce a Babe Ruth. How
much more fun it will be to knock
home runs or even fouls than to take
notes in the library. Many girls, in
by gone seasons, have found them-
selves to be very gifted in the art of
“Baseballery.” Some one has said that
it is a good way for those, who are
fat to reduce; or for those to get
fat who are thin, Every girl is urged
to try out for her class team. Get
in the game, it’s lots of fun, and too,
speaking in a rather mercenary way,
it counts for exercise—it will certain-
ly help fill up that empty card.

The Freshmen are not behind on
this form of sport and it behooves
the other classes to wake up. This
class has already started practicing
and many girls can wield a “wicked”
bat. In their first practice, some little
boys, who were passing the Hockey
Field, stopped and looked on with ad-|
miration. They were quite surprised |
that girls could play ball so well.
These little children sat in the grand
stand—the barbed wire fence, and
spurred the Freshies on.

Since the Freshmen have started
so faithfully, let us all go out with!
the determination to win for our class-
es, and to make the all-star team.
Basball affords lots of excitement, and
is a sure cure for blues or homesick- |
ness. Come on out, “Whoop ’er up,”
and let’s have a jolly good time gain-
ing the victory.

Each girl may take
part in only one of the tournaments,

Let’s make this the largest, |

thews to succeed Mayor W. J. Dab-
ney, Commissioner Guy Webb, Eu-
gene Allen, John A. Candler and
Homer F, George. Mr. Scott Candler
and Mr. Walker White were elected
for a long term of two years to suc-
ceed J. A. Candler and Homer F.
George.

At the meeting at which the names
of these men was accepted it Was
}demanded in the compromise that if
Dabney, Allen and Webb should re-
sign all the charges against them
should be removed.

It seems -that the newly elected
men will be capable of filling these
offices because of their work in the
past. Mr. White is at present Busi-
ness Manager and Treasurer of Hmo-
ry. Mr. Scott Candler has shown in-
terest in National, State and local
movements, he is truly a public spir-
ited man. He was the first Georgian
to become interested in Boy Scouts.
He has served as City Councilor and

on the Board of Education. He was
in the World War. Among other
things he first time to be an attorney
as well as Superintendent of the De-
catur Presbyterian Sunday School. Mr.
Howard was a U, S, Congressman and
is at present an attorney. Mr. Hall
was former Editor of the DeKalb New
| Bra.

Recall movements are not the only
things that cause the men, especially |
‘the city and county officials, of De-
catur to sit up and take notice. All
of us know that Dr. McCain has a
class in “Government.” We also know
that practical observation is yery help-
ful; therefore, Dr. McCain advised
some of the girls to go over and in-
terview those who held the reins of
office. They did—later Dr. McCain
happened to be in the Court House
and one of the men remarked to him
that an Agnes Scott girl questioned
him as to his duties and he added,
“IT have always been so busy doing
things that I have never had time to)
find out what my duties are.” When
the girls went back he was not in
but his clerk advised them to wait,
that he would be in presently. He
came in and said, “I’ve just been
upstairs finding out what my duties
are.”

Mr. H. R. Sharp, City Clerk and
Auditor of Decatur. Mr. Pilcher states
that this resignation has nothing to!
do with the recall movement. Mr.
P, H. Walker who has been an as-
sistant to Mr. Sharp has been ap-
pointed by Mr. Pilcher to take the of-
fice. Mr. Neal Hartley will be his
assistant. |

le the editors of the Agonistie, the

other similar questions. The question
of the heads of all the organizations

careful consideration because on this

JUNIOR PLAY

To Be Given Saturday Night.

On Saturday night, March 18, 1922,
an event of great “he
pulled off” in the chapel of Agnes Scott

interest will

College. This is the long anticipated

stunt that has been advertised by the
Juniors for so long and so many weeks.

This important happening is to be
one of the most entertaining stunts
given this year at school. It is a mix-
ture of song and laughter, full ef music
and good cheer. It is going to be such
a really good play that we will forget
that we are not in the yeanut at the
Atlanta eating peanuts. And don’t
think there won’t be peanuts, choco-
late, and other things at this play.
Selling these articles (?) of diet is a
character of the Juniors. So one and
all bring all the loose change possible
to make you forget you are not in
town in the Atlanta.

The plot of this one-act play is a
deep and dark secret, carefully guard-
ed. We tried our best to find out for
you just a little bit about the story—
just so we could whet and rouse your
woman's curiosity. But the dragon
guarding the secret was wide awake.
There was utterly no use in trying.
We are sure, however, that the entire
ignorance of the audience concerning
the play will only serve as a stimulant
to the applause.

But even though the story is un-
known, the cast isn’t. The group of
girls taking part in the stunt is one of
tried actors. All, or almost all, have
partaken of applause many times be-
fore the foot lights. The cast is, per-
haps, an inkling of the play. Indeed,
it sounds quite interesting—

The Tenth Girl.
The Intellectual Girl—E. Hyde.
The Sentimental Girl—V. Posey.

K. U. B. ELECTS FIVE NEW
MEMBERS,

Nannie Campbell, Victoria Howie,
Frances Amis, Frances Gilliland
and Memory Tucker Chosen.

Last Friday morning there were five
very happy girls who received notes
through the mail, for K. U. B. had
again opened its doors and had ad-
mitted Frances Amis, Nannie Camp-

| bell, Memory Tucker, Victoria Howie,

and Frances Gilliland through its
sacred portals.

In case there are some at Agnes
Scott who are unenlightened as to ex-
actly what it means to be a member of
K. U. B., perhaps it would be best to
explain a bit. In the first place, K. U.
B. is the journalistic club at A. S. C.
Its purpose is to aid the college by
eiving it the right kind of publicity in

the Atlanta papers. If a student wins

|some honor at Agnes Seott, it is K. U.

B. which sends the news to the paper
in the town from which that girl
comes.

Admission to the club is by try-outs
—one written as if for a town paper,
and the other for the Agonistic. But
only is membership based upon
‘ournalistic ability, but also upon loyal
tnd active support of the college pub-
liecations and other organizations on
*he campus.

The try-outs this semester were ex-
‘eptionally and the fact that
thirteen girls were applicants for
nembership shows the interest that is
‘eing taken in the work done for the
‘own papers. The new members are
‘o be congratulated on being accepted.

The Jordan-Moody wedding was one
| which was of mutual interest to both
| Agnes Scott and Deeatur. The wed-
ding was-solemnized at the home of
the bride’s parents on March 7th at
10 o’clock in the morning.

Rev. Robert Tyler performed the
impressive ring ceremony before an
|improvised altar of ferns and flowers.
The reception rooms were attractively
decorated with cut flowers and ferns.

Before the ceremony, Nell
Eslinger sang, “Now Love [s Mine,”
accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Law-
rence at the piano. Miss Lawrence
also played the wedding march.

The bride was handsomely gowned
in a travelling suit of mid-night blue
tricotene with accessories to match.
She wore a corsage of orchids and
| lilies of the valley.

All of us remember Caroline with
much pleasure and we wish for her all
the joy and success in the world in her
new calling.

OH, OH, OH! 1
I'll tell you the dream of an Agnes Seotter,
And a dream she had that would make you totter,
She ate some spuds and she ate some grits,

And here’s the dream that gave her fits,
Oh, Oh, Oh!

——e

Dr, Arm was the first she met;
He called her a lovey-dovey, honey pet;
He gave her a great big Capital A
And said he’d see her another day,
Oh, Oh, Oh!

She went to the gym by special request,
And remained four years as Miss Randolph’s guest,
She vaulted the horse,—what a narrow escape,
And climbed on the rings like a regular ape,
Oh, Oh, Oh!

She went to the library, found a nook,

Browsed through every single book,

She read a French dictionary without restraint,

And rolled right up in a cold, dead faint—
Oh, Oh, Oh!

She came to rest in a swimming pool,

Bigger than any in any school,

She saw Mr. Starr on a roller skate,

He said, ‘‘Don’t let your dates stay too late’’—
Oh, Oh, Oh!

She landed in Main at a half-past eight,

asked her for an after date,

He started to kiss and started to pout,

When biff! bam! bang! the dream gave out—
Oh, Oh, Oh!

TO AGNES SCOTT,

We're all for Agnes Scott,

It’s the finest place we know,

Here’s to our Agnes Scott

It’s the only place to go;

All our loyalty and faith we’re giving thee
And we pledge our love to all eternity;
Honor to Agnes Scott,

Where the Southern breezes blow!

SCHOOL DAYS.

Just my school days happy and sad—
Bits of girl ways, dreams I have had,
Come a thronging down the winding road of year
One a smiling through the mist of tears
Here’s a sad day when I was blue
Here’s a glad day when dreams came true
Brighter than the gleam of silver stars above
Is your memory—school days I love.

Down the long road where all must go, take a song load,
Lest shadows blow, over this pathway where the sun was shining
Every night, you will need a candle for this dark of night

}and boys dressed in green.

Hot Springs Convention.

Many of us remember the National
Convention of 1920, held at Cleveland,
of which our delegates told us so en-
thusiastically. From April 20-27 there}
is to be held the seventh National
Convention of the Y. W. C. A., and
this time the meeting place is to be
in our Southland. Formerly the con-
ventions have been held in the North
in large cities. But this ap-
proaching convention is to be in a
town. Hot Springs, Arkansas, is an
ideal place, for there are lovely moun-
tain driveways and paths to be en-
joyed at this pleasure resort, as well
as the convention itself.

Agnes Scott is to have three under-
classman delegates and cur Y, W. C, A.
president. It is hoped that we will
also have a faculty representative.
Besides these regular delegates any
one who is interested is invited to go.
. And what are some of the things the
convention will be concerned with?
The 1920 convention made reports and
recommendations which the 1922 con-
vention will discuss and act upon.
Among the important things to be con-
sidered are the following:

1. Standards for city associations.

2. Alternate membership basis in
associations other than student.

3. A committee on leadership—em-
ployed and volunteer—as to training,
qualifications, ete.

4. A committee on individual mem-
bership.

5. A committee on place of work
in life of women.

Beside these recommendations there
will be others from the National Board.
One of the things of especial interest
to us is the Student Assembly, a legis-
lative body. This Assembly is so new
that it has as yet no president. Miss

Emily Gordon, of Wellesley, will act)

as chairman until a national president

is elected. The Assembly will meet)

every afternoon. There are several
very important things to be discussed,
among them the membership basis as
laid down by the Los Angeles amend-
ment and the results of this basis.
Another discussion will be that of a
method of electing delegates to con-
ferences of the World Student Chris-
tian Federation such as the one to be
held in Peking, China. Also, the ques-
tion of students’ share in financial
support of national Y. W. C. A. will
come up. Student industrial co-opera-
tion will be discussed and if any re-
port is to be made from this field, an
Agnes Scott delegate will give the
report. Students and industrial girls
are to have joint sessions one of which
will be held before the whole conven-
tion, 4

The National Student Assembly is
being entirely planned by students and
in every phase of its business it will
be conducted [by them.

Miss’ Maude Royden.

One of the most interesting speakers
at the conyention will be Miss Maude
Royden. Miss Royden is an English
minister and a very noted speaker.
She will leave her work in England to

come to th

Miss Royden was educated at Chel-
tenham College and at Oxford, where
she was known as a brilliant debater.
She has done social and educational
work, was a prominent. suffrage
worker, and is now doing her greatest
work in the ministry. We are told
that this English scholar and speaker
is a woman of dynamic personality.
Mary Mildred Welch says of Miss Roy-
den:

“A prophetess is to come to us at
Hot Springs! A woman whose mes-
sages have already been heard around
the world. Miss Maude Royden, of
London, England, the world’s most
eminent woman preacher, a woman of
international fame, is crossing the
Atlantic to give us her ideas of and
ideals for womanhood. A year ago at
the convention of the British Student
Movement in Glascow, Miss Royden’s
speech marked the climax of the ses-
sions. Four thousand students from
all parts of the world sat breathless
for an hour, spell-bound by the elo-
quence of this magnetic little English
woman.”

Our Opportunity.

The ideal thing would be for every
one of us to go to Hot Springs and
to receive the inspiration of hearing
such speakers as Miss Royden, Yet
we can think in world terms right here
on our campus and as Mrs. Eddy told
us, “it is our duty to think in world
terms.” Through our own interest in
the convention and from our delegates’
reports the convention can mean as
much to each of us here as to any

e Hot Springs conventiapakdelegate who goes.

THE FRESHMAN PARTY.

Saint Patrick certainly had a royal
celebration in his honor Saturday night
at Ireland that belongs to A. §S. C.
Every one had an opportunity of visit-
ing this Ireland because it was not far
away and is surrounded on all sides
by walls that have doors through
which all were cordially invited to
come.

The island was all a-glow with the|"e |

ete and everything was gay with the
spirit of “Ye Merrie Ireland.” Not
even the Irish themselves at their
Ireland could have had more fun than
was had at the make-believe Ireland.

There was the Blarney stone that
each fair maiden must kiss—thereby
acquiring the wonderful gift of cajolery
and flattery. This gift having been
acquired, it is quite natural to suppose
that soon there will be a handsome
young swain seeking her hand and a
place at her side.

Having kissed the stone and won-
dering who her suitor would be, she
turned to see a dance by Irish girls
Her heart
leaped as she thought how in a very

short time there would be one to dance
with her because surely it was true
about the Blarney stone.

Then all became quiet for a play and
waited with eager eyes and ears. Such

a heartless play one can hardly im-
agine though possibly it was a warn-

“long enough told one and a prize was
given to the one who told the best one.
The last part of the program was a
dance for all and every one joined

|ing this part, delightful green ice was
lserved and “Faith an’ Begorrah”™
everybody had a good time.

too much. Bridget, the maid, flatly
refused to marry the policeman for

rdless of the heart-
rendi as Bridget remained firm.
Suddenly the room became full of
snakes and venomous animals until
Saint Patrick came and drove them
out. He called Bridget to come back
and promised her that never again

would she be bothered by these crea-!

tures,

Contests now began and the first one
Was a potato race which was a race
In every sense of the word. The ex-
citement was such that there was great
fear of the boundaries of the Ireland

strong and sturdy as any Irishman
could have wished his land to do.

Then there were Irish jokes galore and

|FRESHIE'S LETTER TO HER PAL

Dearest “Pal’—

Well, we didn’t have to make our
arks after all, for after so long a time
the rain just naturally gave out. Par-
don me for mentioning the weather,
for I know it’s a rather boring subject,
but if everything you had
planned to do for a week had been
stopped by the weather, then you'd be
kinder impressed by it, too. | shouldn't
complain, though, for now its gorgeous
and the little spring birds are all but
hopping from bureau to table in our

really

rooms.

Some one remarked the other day
that they had almost as much rain in
Main as outside. Naturally I thought
immediately that all the ceilings were
leaking, so suggested that it be re-
ported, but as usual I was all wrong.
It seems that poor Frances B. pro-
duced the down-pour for two days, for
she thought that her “heart’s delight”
had kicked her. For two whole days
that poor girl couldn’t eat, couldn’t

but one thing of special interest was
that in the course of the conversation
Mrs. Sydenstricker told of her various
trips to Chatauqua, New York. She
told of the thousands of people who
were there, the many places to which |
one might go and how college girls

MRS. SHERWOOD EDDY AT
AGNES SCOTT.

Mrs. Sherwood Eddy, of the Foreign
Department of the National Y. W.
C. A. Board, was in Atlanta this past
week. She talked to the industrial
girls and the business women of the
city during the first part of the week.
On Sunday evening she spoke to the
girls of Agnes Scott about foreign Y.
W. GC. A. work with special emphasis
on the work being done in South
America. Agnes Scott girls are inter-
ested in this work and are helping to
support a girl reserve secretary in
South America. Mrs. Eddy is well
fitted to give information along this
line as she has travelled extensively
in Europe and South America, and has
seen the actual feces in EEE of this
work in foreign countries.

PARTY FOR DR, SEVIER,

I suppose every one has heard of
Camp Graystone, the lovely camp at
Tuxedo, N. C., where Ruth Hall was
a councilor and several Agnes Scott
girls spent a part of the summer.
They (those who are fortunate enough
to have been there) saw that it’s the
grandest place in the world and every-
hody goes swimming, rows and plays
tennis to their heart's content.

Mr. Sevier, the head of the camp,
came through Atlanta last week, and
Ruth Hall and all of the girls who
were at Camp Graystone last summer
gave a supper for him over in Home
It was in every
detail except the costumes of the girls
—bloomers and middies not being con-
sidered quite the correct thing for
“supper-wear” at Agnes Scott—a regu-
lar camp supper. Everyone had lots
of fun talking about the jolly times of
last summer and planning for still
more when vacation comes again.

DECATUR NEWS.

W. J. Dabney, chairman of the

ture over to the board of deacons, who
in turn delivered it to P. J. Jeter,
superintendent of the Sunday-school.

Actual construction of the building
has been in progress just a year, The
campaign to raise funds for the new
plant was started in September, 1920,
and ground was broken on the site at
an usual sunrise service on New Years’ |
day, 1921.

Dr. Gaines made a speech at the

BASKET-BALL SEASON ENDS.

Sophomores Come Out First.

The present basket-ball season is
one of the most successful that Aggie
has ever witnessed. The individual
games more than in the past have each
held a special interest and been closely
contested, the outcome searcely ever
being certain till the finish. The teams
were very evenly matched and have
exhibited a healthy enthusiasm, pep,
and fighting spirit.

The Sophomores with four victories
and two defeats won the champion-
ship. Their chief strength is in good
individual players plus team work.
The forward line is a particularly val-
uable asset. The determination of the
team is a strong point, because when
there is a realization that a certain
game must be won a firm decision will}
pull them through to the victory.

The Freshmen valiently won second
place with four victories and three
defeats. They showed a marked im-
provement during the season, being
an even match for any team on th:
campus at the end of the contest.
Their main strength lies in quickness
and sureness of goal shooting.

The Seniors ran a very close second |
to the Freshmen, also having shown
much improvement through practice. |
Their score was three victories and
four defeats. Game Fortune was not
very propitious toward them, but they
possessed pep and enthusiasm, regard-
less—an invaluable fighting spirit.

The Juniors faced a constant and
visible hard luck throughout the sea-
son. Despite this, however, when that
team was once started it was a hum-|
mer. If, with their regular team, this
quick playing could have been kept up,
the season would have seen a different |
ending. The spirit of the team was
* invincible and persistent, nevertheless,
no matter which way luck looked.

Here's to the present season,

win-

ners and losers, for they alike deserve

SENIOR-FRESHMAN GAME.

Friday night the Seniors and Fresh-
man teams played off the tie for second
place in the basket-ball tournament,
the Sophomores haying won first place. |
The game was very exciting and each
class and many a loyal classmate to
back up the team. Each member of)
each team played with such vim and
vigor as has hardly been seen before
and gave the onlookers quite an inter-
esting as well as entertaining time.)
When the last whistle blew the Fresh-|
man claimed the long fought-for place
with a score of 45 to 34.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT FOR
AMATEURS.

Those of us who wish and aspire to
follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Mallory,
the national tennis champion, have
been offered the opportunity of show-
ing our promise toward such a goal.
The Athletic Board has decided to
have two tournaments this Spring, one
for the amateurs, and another for the
real players, so that everybody might
have the chance to try for a cham-
pionship. If you can not play tennis
very well, you need not be afraid to
sign up for a part in the amateur
tournament, for your opponent will be
an amateur also. Awkward back-hand
thrusts and wild balls may character-

ize every game, but these things ought
not weaken our courage. Professional
players can only stand on the side
lines and watch our timid strokes.
Since you do not have to fear meeting
an unconquerable foe, get out your
rachets and balls to-day, and start
training for the amateur tournament.

TECH-GEORGIA BASKET-BALL
GAME.

Following the custom of last year,
the Tech-Georgia basket-ball game was
played in the gym last Wednesday
night, March 8. Inman, White House,
and the cottages became again, for the
time being, Georgia and Main and Re-|
bekah Seott, Tech. Unusually large
crowds gathered on both sides and,
thanks to the song leaders, Hleanor
Hyde and Ruth Hall, the singing and
yelling showed much pep and enthu-
siasm.

Both teams were made up of star!
players and each one was worthy of
special mention. The whole game was
fast and snappy and although Georgia
won by a seore of 39 to 19, both win-)
ners and losers showed the spirit of |
real sports.

The Georgia stars were:

Center—A. Meade.

Side center—A. Thomas.
Forwards—A, St phens, L.. Thomp-

DECATUR NEWS.

With a view to increasing its in-
fluence and the political power of De-
eatur women in the governmental af-
fairs of the city and DeKalb county,
the Decatur League of Women Voters
is conducting an aggressive member-
ship drive and a systematic campaign
of suffrage registration to the end, if
possible, that every eligible woman
voter in the city may be qualified to
participate in the fall elections. The
city has been divided into seven dis-
tricts for this purpose, each in charge
of a captain authorized to appoint as
many assistants as she may need to
make a thorough and complete can-
vass of her district. The work is well
under way, and the results will .be
announced at the next regular meet-
ing of the league, which will be held
on Friday, April 7.

At its last meeting a few days ago,
the league adopted. resolutions com-
|mending the spirit manifested by the
|board of city commissioners in resign-
|ing in the interest of harmony in the
city government.

The league also memorialized the
board of commissioners to elect Mrs
iD: C. Lawhon to membership on the
|Decatur board of education to suc-
ceed Scott Candler, who is to be a
member of the incoming board of
commissioners, and whose resignation
from the school board will be neces-
|sitated by that fact. The name of
Mrs. Lawhon was proposed by Mrs.
J. C. Hoke, who is at present the only
woman member of the Decatur school
| board. Mrs. Lawhon is president of
'the High School Parent-Teacher As-
\sociation and a leader in educational

subject has not been det an-

| American folk music has been a

special study of Mr. Powell's, and sev-
eral of his most beautiful composi-
tions have as a foundation america’s
only native music, the negro melodies.
In 2 letter to one of the girls Mr.
Powell said that he had bicome al-
most as fond of talking aboufmusic as
of making it; and to those Who have

heard him play this presage@ a most
delightful lecture.

| John Powell was born in Kiehmond,
Va., not nearly so many ye ago as

his distinguished position as America’s
foremost pianist should demand. Be-
fore going to the University of Vir-
ginia where he graduated jin three
}years with high honors, Jot

of Lizst. His work abroad Was under
Theodor Leschetizky in Vimna. Mr.
Powell has traveled oyer America in
concert tours and has playel for the
“cyowned heads’ of the tontinent.

During the Y. W. C. A. Student Con-
ference aboat 600 girls from neerly
every colleze in the South meet to-

ing this time there are meetings, class-
es, hikes, stunts, and fun and new peo-

knowledge cf the girls of our own col-
‘lege and of other colleges. Not least
|among the pleasures is the time spent
in the large dining room. The food
is very good, and, what is equally im-

Dearest Pal: ‘

I’m simply bubbling over with ex-
citement elections have been, and
everything and everybody is so fine.
Oh! I can’t wait till next year and see
all the new girls in their new offices,
and see how important they’ll feel.
Hilda doesn't seem a bit stuck up, not
even hilarious, and if it were me I'd
be holding my head up so high I'd
butt the top of the doors going in.

Guess who is the happiest girl on
the campus? It’s hard to decide, but
after due consideration I believe Ruth
Harrison wins. You know Emory Glee
Club. performed in Atlanta last night
and Ruth was sponser. Can you con-
ceive of anything more thrilling? She
says it’s the cutest program ever, and
that we mustn't dare miss it, but 1
don’t believe Ruth saw or heard them
much for she was too excited. ‘“Toosie”
was there too and she says it’s fine
too, but then “Toosie’” had other rea-
sons for enjoying it also.

Fanny Swann certainly is a popular
girl. She just stays dated up all the
time, and I hear that there are a few
Emory boys that think it would be
simply fine for a buss line to be run
directly from Emory to Agnes Scott,
It would save them lots of time really,
She and Mary Mann are running a
race at Emory I believe.

THE EMORY GLEE CLUB.

The Emory Glee Club is coming!
Every Agnes Scott girl will be glad
to hear this piece of news. Through-
out the year we have three Glee Clubs
to visit us. Alabama has already
come and been much enjoyed. From
all we can gather about the Emory
Glee Club, it will prove to be quite as
good. The Glee Club will give its
program at Agnes Scott on Saturday,
March 25.

The club contains about thirty-five
members. Mr. Barnes is president of
the club, and Mr. Cook, its business
manager, It has an excellent director
in Mr. Dewey. The two leading men
aie Mi. Waiticr and Mr. Barnes, bass
If these two can be taken as examples,
the program will indeed be fine. Mr.
Barnes sang in grand opera last sum-
mer, and they both sang in the Opere-
logue Pagliacci given in Atlanta last
week. We readily see that we are as-
sured of fine voices.

we're all stuck up. Quevelle, Ruth
and Cama are so busy buying clothes
that we scarcely get to see them now,
and as for busy signs—we always
know they mean debaters now. Nell,
Daisy and Sarah haven't any spare
time either for they’re preparing to
hoid up the honors of Agnes Scott at

home. We'll bet on both our teams |

all right.
You should have gone to’ the Junior

play the other night, for it was adora-|SPring holidays and the whole atmos-|to England for supplies and when ho

ble. If I'd been that man I believe |
would have turned Morman on the
spot, for all the girls would have been
“the only one tor me.” We got our
twenty-five cents worth easily for be-
sides seeing the play, we had a chance
to see F. Bitzer after her two hours
and a half preparation. You see Fran-
ces had a very “interesting” date and
her room mate said at supper, that
Frances had been fixing her hair for
two whole hours. Well, I gasped and
fell dead at that, but whal did 1 do
after supper when I saw her going up
stairs? | asked her what for and didn’t
she reply as calmly as you please
“just to fix my hair over.”| Wouldn't
it have been the Spring’s)tragedy if
the date hadn't noticed it, but then I
needn’t worry for from all accounts he
took in every hair pin—with admira-
tion. ;

You simply should hear about Sue's
and Peyton’s date Sunday. | don’t
know enough to tell you, but I do
know that they made another date for
the 31st of May. It may sound a bit
previous, but still it’s a pretty good
plan for those clever boys want those
girls to be looking forward to their
coming and thinking about them lot
before they get here.

Everybody has begun packing for

phere is full of impatience. Also I’ve)
noticed that a larger letter writing|
than usual is being carried on, “to|
get the hims im a good humor in
preparation for a busy &<liday.” Just
to make like I had letters to write
too, I ordered a few catalogues, ad-
dressed the letters to the heads of
the firms. It felt splendid to mail a
letter to Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith even
if he was from Sears & Roebuck, etc.

I don’t mind writing to you in the
least pal, for I can tell you anything,
and don’t have to be particular how I
tell it, but oh think of me now writ-)
ing a model letter for English I. I
guess to carry out the ideal rules I)
should have written it first, and then
yours, but I didn’t so now I must begin |
my agony, Your own,

The program promises be quite
as good. The girls who were here
last year when the Glee Club came
remember with pleasure the “Jazz
Court” and the Farce Opéra. These
two numbers were so well received,
and there have been so many re-
quests for their repetition that they
are going to give them loth again.
The name of the Farce Qpera is “I
Smell Smoke!” That name in itself
is enough to set the Fresimen won-
dering what things will © revealed
Saturday night, and to ecall very
pleasant memories to the aa students
(not fire drills, either.) —

There will be new numbers quite
as good. This year there isa Mandolin
sextet which is as g000_ifmot better
than that of last year. Another num-
ber of which the name wif suffice is
“Surprising Skits.” This is even. bet-
ter than the alliteration leads us to
anticipate. P

The Glee Club has almady given
several performances. Last Saturday
night it was at the Atlanca Theatre.
Everywhere it has been praised and
fully enjoyed. Agnes Secptt will not
be disappointed.

AGNES SCOTT LIBRARY RE-
CEIVES GIFT.

There has been a recent gift to the
College Library, “Betsy Hamilton,”
presented by the author Idora McClel-
lan Moore (Betsy Hamilton.)

Betsy Hamilton is a group of South.
ern character sketches. Robert J.
Burdette has said “Her sketches are
the best of the kind | have ever
known,” and George W. Barn has
said “I shall remember ‘Betsy Hamil-
ton’ as long as chickens are caught in
Georgia.” “Betsy’s First Trip to
Town” was the first character sketch
in dialect written by Betsy Hamilton.
It is in the form of a “picked up
letter” supposed to have been lost on
the road between Riddle’s Mill on Tal-
ladega Creek. It was written merely
to while away an idle rainy afternoon
and was first published in the county
paper, ‘The Alabama Reporter.”

About ten years later this same
sketch was reproduced ih the “Sun-
ny South,” a literary paper in Atlan-
ta. These sketches are selections
from the “Sunny South)” “Harper's
Weekly” and the “Atlanta Constitu-
tion.” The constant deménd for them
induced the author to put them in book
form, Some of the sketches in the
book are “Dot Quarter,” “Babe,” “The

the association which we did not
know.

Particular attention is called to the
Conference of Deans and College
Professors and to the meeting on
Thursday afternoon at the State Uni-
versity of Kansas, where the status of
women in the field of higher education
is to be discussed.

Besides the business conferences

be a college luncheon, at which the
delegates will be grouped by colleges.
A high tea is also to be given Thurs-
day night and the delegates are to be

The “thrill that comes once in a

neses. These girls were recently
awarded numerals which they won in
the basket ball season. The Fresh-
men who got numerals are BE. Walker,
L. Thompson, M. A. McKinney, B.
Walker, E. Spivey, and M. Keesler.
The Sophs are Lillian McAlpine, D. F,
Smith, A. Meade, A. Thomas, W. Peck,
and N. Evans. bL. McClain, B. Hoke,

E. Wassum, B. McClure, and L.
Moriarty are the Juniors who are
numeral winners. The Seniors are:

R, Virden, L. Wooten, R. Love, A.
Whipple, E. Thomas, A. Stevens, and
F. Harper. This is not only an honor
for the girls themselves, but also for
the various classes they represent. The
Senior class is especially proud of
their numeral winning girls for they
had the largest number of the four
classes; seven of their members won
numerals, six Sophs and six Freshies,
and five Juniors. These were an-
nounced last week at the close of the
basket-ball season.

BASEBALL ITEMS.

This year our track meet promises
to be one of the most interesting that
has ever taken place at Agnes Scott,
for we expect to have a real, full-
fledged baseball game. Already, we
have had a taste of the fun and excite-
ment afforded by an Agnes Scott base-
ball game. Last week the Freshmen
played the Juniors. A large audience
enjoyed the exciting game. The gym
classes were especially enthusiastic,
for they h been allowed to leave
off the drillmg and dancing, and to

several “Babe Ruths” and “Ty Cobbs”

FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF THE AMERICAN ASSO-
. CIATION OF UNIVER-
SITY WOMEN.

Meets At Kansas City, April 5-8.

Two Agnes Scotters—one an alum-
na, Mary Wallace Kirk, the presi-
dent of our Alumnae Association, and
faculty, Miss Hearon, were present
at the first annual meeting of the
University Women which was held in
Kansas City, with the Muhliback Ho-
tel as headquarters, from April 5,
through April 8 One of the most
outstanding features of the conven:
tion was the cordial and genuine hos-
Pitality tendered by the Kansas City
(branch of the Association, and it was
fave to their unfailing thoughtfulness
‘that the success of the convention
‘was perfectly assured.

The President of the Association,
Dean Ada Comstock, of Smith College,
who is so ‘pleasantly remembered aft-
er her visit to Agnes Scott last fall,
called the convention to order. The
first business meeting was devoted
principally to a plan for a member-
ship campaign. The course of events
which have led up to the preparation
of this campaign have extended over
Some time. Because of the part play-
ed by the Association in the Inter-
national Federation of University
Women it had assumed financial obli-
itions in that connection which had
be met; at the Washington meet-
ast year it had authorized the

ea

padquarters and club house and also
the appointment of an Educational
Secretary. Moreover the Association,
if it was to keep its members in
touch with its work must have a more
adequate publication. If the Associa-
tion is to successfully carry on the
projects which it has voted-to under-
take, it must have a larger member-
ship and consequently larger financial
resources. Miss Florence Snow, exec-
utive secretary of the Smith College
‘Alumnae Association had made a sur-
yey in this field and presented the
Plan for the campaign. It was finally
decided that the Board of Directors
should be authorized to spend $10,000
to this end, and an additional $15,000

if, in their opinion such an expendi- |

ture was justified.

This membership drive should es-
pecially concern our Agnes Scott
Alumnae, and the seniors who will
goon graduate. Agnes Scott has one
of the largest percentage of member-
ships in the A. A. U. W. at the present
time. If we can not keep pace with
the increased membership our rating
will fall. But we want every eligible
alumna to become a member of the
A. A. U. W.

Committee on the Recognition of Col-
leges and Universities.

The work of the Committee on the
‘Recognition of Colleges and Univer-
sities was perhaps one of the most in-
teresting of the Convention. Miss
Hearon, the professor of History at
Agnes Scott, was.a member of the
Committee of the South Atlantic field,
and the reports which she brings back
are most educational! It is especially
interesting to us in the South that all
who were eligible to membership in
the S. A. C. W. in 1921 are eligible
‘to membership in the A. A. U. W.
during the five year period, but at the
end of this time they must come up
to the Standards of the A. A. U. W.

Dean Louise Nardin, chairman of
the committee offered the recommen-
dation of the Committee that the fol-

‘owing five colleges be added to the
raccredited list of the Association:
Carthage College at Carthage, IIl.,
Denison University at Granville, O.,
‘Hunter CG lege, New York City, Occi-
‘dental CSlege, Los Angeles, Calif.,
‘and Womans Medical College,
‘Philadelphia. All of these colleges

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
ASSOCIATION

May 29, Monday, At 3:00 P. M.

We are especially anxious that every
one of our alumnae who possibly
can, will come to the annual meeting
of the Alumnae Association, which
will be held in the alumnae house
on Monday afternoon, May 29, at three
o'clock. There will be many impor-
tant questions up for discussion, and
it is necessary to have a representa-
tive group of the alumnae present.

In addition to the election of offi-
eers for the next two years, the new
amendments to the constitution wili
come up for discussion and vote.
There wilil be reports by the president
and the various committees, in addi-
tion to the new business which will
come up.

OUR SENIORS.

O, what shall we wish for our maid-
ens sweet,
They have reached the crest of the
“hill,
And gazing afar o’er an untried sea
They fare them forth with a will.

Shall we wish for them gold and no
tear dimmed eye,

For a path without thorn and strife?

BALLOT FOR BI-ANNUAL ELECTIONS.

Votes of Absent Members May Be Sent In.

The following ballot for ihe election of Officers and Committee
Chairmen is submitted to the Alumnae Association by the nomi-
nating committee. The committee, according to the constitution,
was appointed by the Executive Committee at its meeting in the ear-
ly spring, and consisted of Margaret Phythian, Chairman; Sallie
(Watlington) Barnett, and Ruth (Slack) Smith. They have pre-
sented two nominees for each office, who shall be elected by the
written ballot at the regular meeting. If any member is unable to
attend the meeting she may send her written vote to the secretary,
provided it reaches the secretary at least three hours before the
meeting. It is suggested that the ballot below be cut out, and the
desired candidate indicated by a check beside that name.

In another section of the Agonistie will be found several amend-
ments to the Constitution which have been proposed by the Exee-
utive Committee for the consideration of the, Association. If
these amendments are adopted, it will be necessary to provide com-
mittee chairman for the committees thus created. Therefore,
those nominees in the ballot after the explanatory note will be vot-
ed upon, only if the amendments are passed by the Association.

We are especially anxious that every paid member of the Asso-
ciation will take part in this election. No one who has not paid at
least one year’s dues may vote. We want this election to be more
representative of the true wishes of our alumnae than any we have
ever had. The only way in which this can be done is to have
every one vote. If you haven’t paid your dues send them to the
alumnae secretary, then vote.

This is not merely a ease of ‘‘votes for women,’’ because we’ve
been voting before the Susan B. Anthony amendment was added to
our national Association: This is a voting for officers of our Alum-
nae Association and only by every one taking a part in this can the
results of the election represent the wishes of the alumnae.

BALLOT.

(Any member of the Association unable to attend the annual
meeting may send, in writing, her vote to the secretary, provided

it reaches the secretary at least three hours before the regular
meeting.) ;

A MESSAGE TO EACH ALUM.
A MESS NAE Fi

To the Alumnae:

I am glad to have the opportunity
of extending to you my cordial and
affectionate greeting. I assure you
that the college follows you with the
greatest interest. One of the joys of
my life is to think of the Agnes Scott
girls standing for the highest and
best things in so many different
spheres. The Agnes Scott type of
girl is now quite well known and
wherever known is recognized as the
highest type. 1 am proud of them.

May I suggest that your training,
your standing and the impression of
the Agnes Scott ideals, afford a great
opportunity for larger usefulness.
Never before has the world needed
the Agnes Scott type of woman as it
needs it now. The times in which
we are living are critical times. There
seems to be a tendency among women,
especially young women, to break
away from the ideals and customs of
the past and to adopt something new.
I am not opposed to new things sim-
ply because they are new. Nor am
I opposed to progress. Something in
the new woman I admire. But there
is a radical trend which I regard as
dangerous to women and to the best
social order. I appeal to you as col-
lege women 9n¢é as Agnes Scott alum-
nae to stand “like the stone wall”
against radical and dangerous innova-
tion. It is the college woman who
must be the conservative element in
society, in the church and in the
world. Moreover it is the college wo-
man who by training, character and
standing will inevitably be a leader
among women. Great is your oppor-
tunity and correspondingly great your
responsibility. In closing may I re-
mind you that your Alma Mata is a
Christian college and that we confi-
dently hope that in whatever sphere
you move the glory of God will be
your chief end.

Cordially yours,
F. H. GAINES.

“The American college graduate en-
tertains for his institution a type of
loyalty that is one of the very splen-
did things in our American life. I
know of nothing which is comparable
to it. I think it is unique in the sense
that it is hardly known in other coun-
tries as it is in our own. It is a

thing that arouses the amazement of|,,

hardly known even in England.” —
PRESIDENT ANGELL, Yale Univ.

“ARE WOMEN’S COLLEGES
OLD MAID FACTORIES?”’

So runs an article in a number of
the Photoplay Magazine last fall!
Really, its quite humorous to read an
article which gives such bits of wis-
dom as, “The young woman in college
has beeome slovenly and neglectful
of the shel] which houses her mind
and soul. The issues have become
clouded for her, she is becoming men-
tally flatfooted and obese.” “More
high grade: perfumes and face pow-
ders are sold per capita among. the
girl operatives of factories in Lowell
and Lawrence, Mass., than among the
students at Smith or Wellesley.” This
is a bang at the college woman, but
we say “Hurrah!”

Then the article asks “Do institu-
tions for the higher education of wo-
men frown on the cultivation of per-
sonal charm.” Samuel J. Homes of
the University of California, has just
written a book, “The Trend of the
Race,” which contains these conclu-
sions on the biological results of col-
legiate education for women:

“It may be said that about 50 per
cent of college women remain un-
married. It is apparently true that
women of superior intellect and force
of character are those, whether col-
lege womuen or not, are pretty apt to
be selected for spinsterhood. They
are more likely to win positions which
permit them to enjoy the comforts
and many of the luxuries of life. They
deve'op other interests which detract
fro’ the appeal to matrimony.”

™ answer we would simply suggest
that you open the latest Agnes Scott
jearslogue, and turning to the alum-
;nae lists you will find the answer.
Crtainly not, Agnes Scott!

Alumnae Secretaries Organized.

This year for the third time the
womens college alumnae association
will meet with the Association of
Alumnae Secretaries, at the Univer-
sity of Illinois in May. The women’s
colleges became full-fledged members
last year, when the convention was
held at Cornell University. There
were 65 delegates present, represent-
ing an alumni and alumnae constitu-
ency of approximately 400,000.

and economics, five hours; social or
political history, two hours; literature |
(the novel, drama, poetry and prose)
two hours; English composition, one}

hour; physiology and hygiene, one)
hour; appreciation of music, three
hours—

“A statistical analysis of the school
brings out some interesting facts. Of
native-born Americans with native-
born parents there are 27; natives

one native and one foreign parent, 9;

It may ‘be well to let the student
body speak for itself, as it did in the
following:

"When the schools and colleges be-
come seats of learning not only for
the favored few but for all who de-
sire’ to learn, there can be a better
understanding among all kinds of
people. Society will then be founded

AGNES SCOTT CALENDARS.

The senior class has put on the mar-
ket a very attractive Agnes Scott cal-
endar, with pictures of various events
in college life, and views from the
campus, for a personal touch. The ob-
ject of the calendars is primarily mon-
ey—and it’s going to a good purpose,
too, for every cent is going toward the
furnishing of the bedroom in the alum-
nae house which has been taken over
by the class of 1922.

Any one who is interested in the cal-
endar may get one for 75 cents by
communication with the senior class
president, Mary Knight, Agnes Scott

Dr. David M. Robinson, the archiue-
ologist opened the series this year
with his lectures on “The Grotesque
in Ancient Art.” and on “Sappho.”
The next speaker was Dr. Edward G.
Devine, whose group of three lectures
on the political and social problems 0,
today were most stimulating. The rey-
elations of Dr. Charles R. Stockard,
who was next, concerning the impor-
tant work of the ductless glands of
the body, and “Harmones,” were full
of interest and welcome knowledge.
John Powell, America’s famous pian-
ist, lectured recently on the requisite
for a great American music; that is
the use of the old Anglo-Saxon ballads
as a foundation. Mr. Vachel Lina-
say’s interpretative readings from his
poems might perhaps be called the
climax of the season.

ALUMNAE HOUSE POSSIBILI-
TIES.

Many of the girls have asked if
there aren’t any little things around
the alumnae house which might be
given as individual gifts from those
who want to assist in making the
house well equipped and complete.
Several things have already appeared
which have been joyfully received and
well used.

The first gift was a supply of note
paper with the Alumnae House and ad-
dress at the top. Then several girls
in one of the classes sent a lamp for
their bedroom, a lovely vase came, and
now a check awaits further disposi-
tion.

To those girls who would like to
know what sort of gifts their house
could use the following list is added:
Bureau covers (the size will be sent
to anyone interested), note paper,
books, towels, desk sets, sheets for
double beds, appropriate waste bas-

SPOT-LIGHTS AND SIDE- |
LIGHTS ON ALUMNAE

In self defense we quote from

the letter sent in by one of our married alumnae, which we think is “‘simply splendid—”’
**T imagine those of us who stay at home bringing up the future citizens feel rather blank when

we look at the reverse side of your questionaire.

Yet, though I ery loud and long ‘votes for women,’

yet I do declare no number of degrees or positions can make up to a woman for home, children and
husband. So, unlike Macbeth, we will not have to stand at life’s end and soliloquize.
‘My life has fallen into the sear of the yellow leaf.’
I suppose this will always be the problem of women graduates, how to be great though married.”’

Now we are convinced that our married alumnae have been accomplishing great things!

If you

could only read the records, and see how they are taking part in the civil life of their communities, they
are members of the League of Women Voters, they are active in Parent Teachers Associations, they are
untiring in church work, in club work and all the various other activities that go to go up a successful

community life.

Just read and see! You may be surprised to see what your friends really are doing!

were admitted.
Next’ Meeting at Portland, Ore., in
July 1923.

The committee appointed by the
chair to consider the place of meeting
of the next convention consisted of
Dean Plla MecCaleb, of Vassar, Miss
Hearon, of Agnes Scott College, and
Mrs. Mitchell, of Oklahoma. It was
suggested that the west was not suf-
ficiently represented on the commit-
tee, so nominations from the floor
added two members from the west.

The committee reported in favor of
Washington, though invitations had
been received from Chicago, Des
Moines, Milwaukee, New York, Port-
land, Ore., San Francisco and Wash-
ington. However, the convention was
nothing if not independent, and after
rejecting the recommendation of its
committee chose to accept the invita-
tion of Portland.

How many Agnes Scott alumnae
will we have present?

International Banquet.

The banquet on Friday evening was
international in character. Mrs.
Edgerton Parsons, a member of the
Committee on International relations
and treasurer of the International As-
sociation as toastmistress introduced
first President Wooley, of Mt. Hol-
yoke. Those of us who heard her
speak in the open meeting of Gamma
Tau Alpha two years ago, can know
what a happy dinner talk was given.
Fresh from her Chinese experience,
she paid a glowing tribute to the Chi-
nese women of the older and’ newer
generations. Several moments later
Miss Helen Wong, a young Chinese
girl, now a student at the Universi-
ty of Michigan, strenghtened Pres-
ident Wooleys tribute. She was fok
luwed by Dr. Barriox, of Madrid, who
had been sent to this country by the
Spanish Government to study Ameri-
can methods of dealing with the prob-
lems of infant hygiene and child wel-
fare; Signorina de Castelvecchio rep:
resented Italy, pleading eloquently for
the better understanding on our part
of the ideals for which her country-
men and women are striving. =

The last speaker of the evening was
Miss Sarah Wambaugh, now of Welles-
ly College, formerly a member of the
secretariat of the League of Nations,
who congratulated the Association on
the work it is doing in multiplying
the contacts with other nations and
urged that the United States assume
its responsibility as a member of the
family of nations by becoming a mem-

What the colleges have done for
the emancipation of women is dramat-
ically clear from the comment made
in a Boston newspaper of about 1840
apropos of the public presenting of di-
plomas at Mount Holyoke College the
first endowed college for women, then
in its infancy. The radical innovation
was condemned as an evil “endanger-
ing that beautiful seclusion in which
female loveliness should live and move
and have its being and reward.” Ober-
lin College, the oldest co-educational
college, then starting in the wilds of
Ohio was more caution. It required
that the lady graduate’s final essays
should be presented in public, vicari-
ously but modestly, by a “member of
the faculty.”

The Future.

Truly this is a time when women
have come to play an important part
in the destinies of our country and
the world. It is entirely fitting that

world. If we are really to contribute
our share in the advancement of our
country, we must keep ourselves in-

any other is possible.
