WELCOME © OLD GIRLS Savi AGNEs s6oTT COLLEGE Dey VII 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.

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 |to see Freshmen in general. ‘| French department.

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 Eyen haven't gotten acquainted with all the newcomers. Just start 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 then you 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 M, A. within a year’s time, she we degree from a large university Her associates this year are Miss Gwendolyn Glen- denning, Miss Margaret Culberson, both holding B.

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. =: |The Ago AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1921 As “Cheah Hot as Grass~-| ATTENTION!

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. ot the nearest ap-| 85 Burke, Norma, Albany, NM, 2 OW. undecided | H. 1 Burks, Rebekah; Bedford, Va., 3 R. > Daniel, Bryte, Clinton, 8.

These rules are: Dr. Sweet has office hours for thirty minutes . overt meal, except on Sunday, when she is in her office only: twice, after breakfast and after the Y, W. i. A. service, All cases of sickness, must be reported promptly at the doc -tor’s office hours. Emergency cases ‘aay be reported at any time. No stu- “dent is allowed to stayin bed in her “room except when the iniirmary is ‘filled. Exeuses for absence while in the infirmary must be gotten from the “nurse. Miss Daugherty particularily asks that no one come to the infirm- ¥ -ary after nine o'clock, at which hour “ft closes and is to be kept quiet. If pr. Sweet is needed, she may be yeached at her home over the tele- phone, or Mr. Starr will go for her.

Ivo Wat: A UNE W'S President—Ruth Scandrett. Vice-President—Ruth Halk, Secretary—Qunenelle Harrold. Treasurer— But the officers are not the entire working force of the organization. There are many departments and many committees. Perhaps the two Commons best known to the “new” girls are the publicity committee, of which Que- nelle Harrold is chairman, and the en- tertainment committee, with Julia Jamison in charge. Surely you have noticed the attract- ive display of posters on the bulletin hoard! All of these are the work of the publicity committee, while the entertainments given during the past week, the Y. W.

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. Miss Curry comes to “us from Can- ada and has been a pupil of Arthur Hubbard, the famous teacher of our former voice teachers. It is needless to say that our vocal and expression departments will have a splendid year under the leadership of the new fac- ulty. BEAUTY MAY BE ONLY SKIN DEEP, BUT—. The news that Mrs. ‘Philo Sturgis. Daiintdghel as “Miss Phi,” has re- opened her beauty parlor comes as a welcomed announcement to old girls and as a pleasant anticipation to new ones, Not all of us are born beauti- ful, but “Miss Phi” is not to. blame if we fail to achieve desited results. With trained assistants. she will shampoo, manicure and massage in a way to please the most fastidious. In the basement of her home next door to Boyd, “Miss Phi” will be glad to see Agnes Scott girls at any time. “Since Mohammed. can’t come to the mountain, the mountain must go to Mohammed.” The annual alumnae register has been published. It contains news from all branches of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association and should prove of great interest te all of us. Miss Mary Wallace Kirk, the presi- dent of the Agnes Scott Alumnae As- sociation, will visit the epllege soon. Mrs. Lewis Gaines entertained the Atlanta Alumnae Club, of which Lois MctIutyre Beall is president, on the af- ternoon of Tuesday, Sept, the twen- tieth, Miss Moses, head of the Ex- presion Department at Agnes Scott, gave a reading.

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.” MODISTE MRS. FLORA HOUSTON Weeke’s Building Phone Dec. 988 Don’t Forget Bailey Bros.

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, TEN P.

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. = Agnes Scott Girls Will always find the newest and smartest wearing apparel at Allen’s. Dept. on Our Misses’ 3rd. floor. J.P. ALLEN & CO. “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. avoid the rush.° Make your date early and The chocolate and peanuts can be procured from: Bleanor Hyde, 26 White House.

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.

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. jo ie | te A 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.

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 Evening Post. y 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!” “This is the second time you have halted me,” observed the officer. “What are you going to do next?” “Never you mind what ah’s gonna do.

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.

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.

BABY NIECE OF MISS ANNA YOUNG ENTERED AT AGNES SCOTT. Last September 1lith, about one year after the death of Miss Anna Young, little Miss Anna Young Eagan was born to Mrs. John J. Eagan, of Oaksdale road, formerly Miss Susan Young, sis- ter of the beloved Miss Young, who taught so faithfully at Agnes Scott. The child’s name, at her birth, was en- tered on Agnes Scott's register book. piness? Well, that is what is myste- rious. But this much can be said. 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- dolph, seconded by the committee, are brimful of ideas. So the week is sure to be enjoyable. Watch THe AGONTSTIC news each week. for more Carey | 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. The selection of the | ) sweet MISS MéRKLEY'S NEW JOB. Miss Frinces Charlotte Markley, whom all the old girls know and love, and whom All the new girls already know as a member of the class of ’21, who did so much for Agnes Scott, has returnedtnis year to take the position held last year by Mrs. Eva Towers Hendee, as general secretary of the Alumnae Asrociation at Agnes Scott.

The Decatur Alumnae Club will meet on Monday afternoon at four o’clock in the Propy- lean Hall. Seeing to the distribution yearly alumnae publication, “The Reg- ister,’ is another of Miss Markley’s 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 15, to Miss Markley, who will send them on to the judges, who are Rachel Crothers, Arthur Hopkins and Kenneth McGowan, three of the foremost Amer- ican playwrights.

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 THE SILHOUETTE TEA-ROOM. PLACE OF CONSOLATION AND JOY. fal Bemkan ‘Heuored 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 Loose Leaf Note Books The Printers of the Agonistic are also prepared to furnish you with: Engraved Stationery and Cards Fountain Pens, Eversharp Pencils, Ink, Etc. Foote & Davies Company “The College Publication House” EDGEWOOD AND PRYOR 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.

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.

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.

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.” Mile. Elizabeth Wilson. This new opera is written by Those who MODISTE MRS.

FULL LINE SCHOOL SUPPLIES Service Our Motto Nearest to Agnes Scott 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. ATHLETICS THE AGONISTIC —— Ss “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 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. urging her to give Grace some sort of | Atlanta’s Annual College Day.

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 Accepting the invitation, she the asset!

PLAN YOUR WORK Vol. VII ‘ye AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1921 ¢ Agonistic =) No. 4 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.

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.

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.” Better Late Than Never WELCOME TO TWO MORE NEW GIRLS. It will be of interest to the girls te know that there are two new girls who have come to join us. They are Eliza- beth Kink, of Roanoke, Alabama, and Virginia Watts, of Decatur. Elizabeth Kink came in this week Vir- ginia Watts is a day student. It’s up <-- (Continued on page 3.) ‘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. Scenic effects, including lignting, 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 +46-captions.

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.

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. Sat LIST OF STUDENT OFFICERS KEEP THIS FOR REFERENCE.

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. oo-coings and other sounds, LIST OF STUDENT OFFICERS.

On Friday night, the Agnes Scott Cotillion Club gave an informal open- ing dance in the gymnasium. The gym was beautifuly decorated in goldenrod, and at one end of the hall, the punch bowl was placed, adding to the general artistic effect. lanta made excellent music and every- one pronounced the dance a huge suc- An orchestra from At-! 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 Arnold. Dorothy Bouron with Lois McClain. Virginia Ordway with Anne Gam- brill. Nell Buchanan with Lucia Murchi- son. Margaret Powell with Laura Oliver. Hazel Bordeaux with Bessie Win- ston. Nancy Evans with Louise Sanders.

Lucy Wooten with Mary Catherine McKinney. Lois Moriarity with Catherine Craig. The faculty members of the Cotillion Club, Miss Randolph and Miss Wil- burne, and several other members of the faculty, including Miss Glenden- ning and Miss Hale, were also present.

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.

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 yourself.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Maybe we don’t think that we will ever come in contact with this far away being—the Industrial girl—but if we but use our brains and eyes a bit we will see that every time we go to Atlanta we are right in the midst of the oft heard of The girl you hand to with such blase air in Kress’s when she hands you a paper of pins, to the one who industrial situation. your nickle a kindly flatters you into believing that you can wear that impossible piece of head dress, because it looks just as if it were especially designed for you, ‘that is the kind of girl we want to know. Just notice some morning when 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 frame of mind. Well, what are we going to do about in no pleasing 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, | It is really a wonder there aren't more dead letters, the way the mail trucks speed through the streets.

Last spring she was appointed a mem- ber of an educational commission of which Professor Hrnest D. Burton of the University of Chicago is the head. The object of the commission is the study of the institutions of higher education in China.

A Rus-} sian mother said she was afraid that the other girls would laugh at the shabby appearance of her daughters. One girl had an old coat for a dress and both girls were barefooted.

TH ' - OUR NATIONAL Y. W. C. A. We have all of us heard at different times that the college Y. W. C.

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.

D6 you ever consider the industrial girl as anything but an almost me- chaniéal device for turning out ar- ticles for your benefit and performing | services for you? Most of us do not. stop to think whether she has any pleasures when her work is done, | whether she ever thinks about any- thing but her work, or has any desire for a better physical, mental, and moral life. The Y. W. C. A., however, realizing that girls are the same the | world over, has made possible for. ! girls in industry the attainment of a | along all lines | higher development [by means of clubs in. Which they may | get together and satisfy their natural desire for companionship of their own age, learn about many subjects for which they have neither time nor op- portunity at home, and come to have a deeper spiritual life. These clubs are held at the Y. W. |C. A, unless the factory at which the girls work has a room in which the girls may get together. These clubs |inelude: candy makers, type setters, | clerks, office file clerks, store clerks, |stenographers, garment makers, shoe workers, press feeders, telephone | operators, waitresses, cashiers, and ‘laundry workers, The clubs are self- |'governing, and organized as any other 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. DAY STUDENTS’ REST ROOM.

FULL LINE SCHOOL SUPPLIES Service Our Motto Nearest to Agnes Scott DANCING CLASSES ‘PREPARATION F. FOR MAY DAY BEGINS. Petiipe you think that the chilly days” of late October do not provide the proper atmosphere for Greek ‘maidens and ‘the graceful intricacies ‘of the classical dance, and maybe you feel a great ‘deal morellike just plain shivering than swaying rhythmically |: to the strains of the lyre. But that’s because you don’t ‘know about the dancing class and the plans it has Rs) for the year. To » begin with, the danc-| rei ing is the preparation for a Better May Day or, to ‘pe more exact, la Best May Day that Agnes Scott has ever had.

And so, if the role of sylph suits your aes- thetic temperament and if you want to spend a delightful and worth-while ‘ce: hour, come on out and “trip the light fantastic” with the dancing class. “As you know, the classic dance has three fundamental points: the inter-| pretation of rhythm, the development). — of flexibility or “spring” in the podyy and the expression of the theme as shown in the carriage and control of a the: body. It is a combination of these | three that will produce a perfect re- 0 sult, and it is for this that this year’s class is working under the able direc: tion and ‘instruction of ‘Miss Randolph and Miss Wilburn, Of course here is ‘Y HIKES PROVE POPU- LAR. ree | general hike was “held October 18th, a efore-breaktast walk t rning, were 104 present, Yet rather dampening to” the crowd to have to wait on Nannie’s mind as to vill ever catch up or Zet r breakfast.

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. fa s fe Kutt ety 7 eT, ELD ee cain Che ANgonistic DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1921 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, pf Me - = 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, the superintendent, and assembly one_ time, feel that they are missing some- thing excellent, indeed, if they miss another service thereafter. On last Sunday, the Sunday School was for- tunate in having Miss Lumpkin speak certainly | 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 prompt a change in the ringing of the bells is announced. One bell will ring at 9 and another 9:10, assembly will 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 before class meeting, and this willnot College songs, | very | count off on the record of the class. 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 through the représentation of it by 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. sing them, and that to sing is the 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 songs make such an impression on every one else that you just can not help joining in. Do you want just loads of fun spring holidays? Do you want to find a sure cure for being blue, or tired, or disgusted with the whole world? Then come out and sing—be happy your class to haye one day around before class meeting, and this will not}—and who knows—you may become famous yet through the great power of song. MAKE SOME NEW SONGS No. 7 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- fused to so into conference with each other. Evidently they are not.on Peking terms. ft 2 Che Agonistic Agnes Scott College Weekly. EDITORIAL BOARD.

So everybody who already writes or wishes to write for the Agonistie, please read carefully the following rules. They are of paramount importance: 1. Write on one side only, of the paper. 2. Leave a large and very blank space at the top of the first page of the article. 3. Write very legibly. 4, Write the number in the upper left-hand corner of the article. 5. Pin all the pages together. 6. Hand all articles in to the publication room of the gym by five p. m. of the Wednesday following the day of assignment. 7. Don’t gush.

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.

Kwangju, Chosen, Asia, September 20, 1921. 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.

Foote & Davies Company ‘The College Publication House” BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS 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.

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.

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.

You'll enjoy the local hits and perhaps you'll learn something new about the campus organizations. The following are to be represented: Executive Committee Government. Y¥. W..C. A. Blackfriars. Publications. Athletic Association. Literary Clubs (K. U. B., B. O. Z. and Folio). Propylean Debating Society. Mnemosynean Debating Society. Day Students. It has been the custom every year for each member of Hoasc to sponsor one of these organizations in the stunt. It is the purpose of these stunts to show the students of Agnes Scott the aim and some of the activities of » organizations that can help them and that they can help. of Student IT PAYS TO BUY AT SCOFIELD’S WHERE YOU GET “Everything in Good Eats”’ SCOFIELD GROCERY CO.

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.

When we came back to Agnes Scott the first of this year, we couldn’t help feeling a wee bit lonesome, because the class of ’21 had left us. Now, of course, we have become more accus- tomed to the change, but we are all mighty interested in last year’s Seniors and what they are doing. “Dot” Allen is teaching domestic science and English in a high school near LaFayette, Ala. Charlotte Bell is teaching French in Science Hill, Ky. Thelma Brown is teaching French in Union Springs, Ala. Eleanor Carpenter is the head of the department of Romance lan- guages at G. W.

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. at North Avenue Presbyterian high school in Atlanta. Sarah Fulton is teaching. Mary Louise Green is teaching. Helen Hall is teaching. Dorothy Havis is doing work with the Associated Charities in Atlanta. Emily Hutter also took the final step and married this summer. “Genie” Johnston is doing Y. W. C. A. work in Atlanta, Mary Ann Justice is teaching with Dr. Sloof at Crossnere.

SECOND FLOOR Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. 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 (Continued on page 4.) notable groups. We have a regular little colony of “Agnes Scotters” at Lewisburg, West Va. Charlotte New- ton is teaching English. Margaret McLaughlin teaches Bible and is also Y. W. C. A. secretary. With Martha Laing and “Peg” Bell there too, Lewis- burg will soon be adapting purple and white for its colors. We're always glad to have a few old girls back at Agnes Scott. Fan McCaa is back as biology assistant. Frances Charlotte Markley assists in history and attends to her duties as 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. Coats and Suits that are above the commonplace Tres very often the little’things that make such a world of dif- ference in the smartness of a suit or coat. The flare of a cuff, the clever placing of an ornament of the angle of a pocket. We have paid attention to the “little things”, as well as the big essentials of fashion, fabric and fair pricing. rohsin’s Correct Dress for Women 50 WHITEHALL CHANDLER’S Dec. 545 309 College Avenue Drugs, Cigars, Tobaccos, Sodas, Ice Cream, Sandwiches.

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. LET THE VANITY FAIR BEAUTY PARLOR MAKE YOU ATTRACTIVE. (Continued from page 3.) in our pocket-books.

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. LE REGIMENT DE SOMBRE ET MEUSE.

ALUMNAE BUI ‘Dr.ErdmannVisit TO THOSE WHO HAVE GONE ON BEFORE Vol. VII 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- NOTED BIBL GIVES LECT The college and - Wi: (G.

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. tic THE AGONISTIC EXTENDS A COR- ant GEESE] GREETING J : No. 8 LDING NEARING COMPLETION We welcome: to Agnes Scott Col- ‘ege an Alumna of whom we are very proud—Mary Wallace Kirk, '11, Pres- ‘dent of the Alumnae Association.

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. that by their correction the loans will) seem more desirable and more stu-) |your heart turned a flip of ecstacy.| dents will be benefited by them. Mrs. Deickman is ch Alumnae Scholarship Committee, and all applications for loans must made through her.

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 ful achievement. The Decatur Club is doing divers in the mail room those alluring de-| |seriptions of Christmas cards? of] course when you read them you!

But 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 Honestly the tea room maids will feel almost as though they have been just™ emancipated when they come from the present tea room kitchen to the new one. Now let’s go up stairs. The steps 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 (Continued on page 4.) (Continued on page 4.) Fi The Agonistie Agnes Scott College Weekly.

We forget that they knew the warmth of the sheltering arms long before we did; that because they were here first, the sheltering arms knew how to shelter us when we came along. 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 of us, when she picks up her new Aurora and beholds its spicily filled cov- ers, does not give a little congratulatory pat on the ba¢k of this present Agnes Scott generation? What worthy things we do accomplish, literarily The Aurora is not our only pride. The Agonistic in this day seems verily to hop from the press and fall into our outstretched hands. “What an absolutely efficient talented way we have of doing things,” exults the 1921 Hottentot. Yet who for one moment lets her mind travel back to the days when the support of college publications was not an accepted social obligation; when distracted Aurora s contributed poems and stories ad infinitum and racked their brains speaking! of speed and reporters’ enthusiasm editor to think of new ways of disguising their handiwork; when Agonistic editors Patronize Our New Department. chewed their pens to stubs and tore out their none too abundant locks in a heroic effort to make one brain reel off enough proof for an edition of . r rit . divisi i y labor rely pause to bless ; the paper?

I{|/that there is great mourning over she will only look back into certain College Council meetings when her) those lost and great rejoicing over sister Hottentots presented the reasonableness and desirability of mascu- line society, she might use her wits and guess through whose influence 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: Who is not proud of a Y. W. C. A. that is dissatis- fied with present achievements? Who does not thrill with pride because we have a Hoasc upholding ideals of unselfish loyalty to the college?

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.

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. “Peggy” Murphy and “Jinks” went ‘ “Pal.” I'm so wild to tell you}: down to Peggy’s home at Newnan last week-end.

The won- derful puffs of today, the charming shorter skirts and even the style of who has been in college here one year or more, who has; married or other- wise been disposed of, would kindly report same to her. Her office is Room 8, Main Building, and her office hours are from eight o’clock to nine thirty A. M. It is quite difficult to keep track of all the girls who come here, and any assistance along this line would be appreciated. When the new Alumnae Building is finished the Sedretary will have a hew office there. FOLIO TRYOUTS TO BE HELD. Freshmen, Prove Yourselves to Be George Eliots. It has been said that some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. All Freshmen who want their greatness to be of any value to them should get right to work on a short story for tryouts in Folio. The best of these stories handed in will be accepted and those who write the best the sweaters can fully be appreciated, even by the most modest girl on the eampus, after she has glanced through the nineteen hundred and two Silhouette. To read these publications is really short stories will become members of Folio, the short story club for Freshmen. It is indeed an honor to be a mem- ber of this Club, and so is well worth trying for. Another important rea- son for trial in this is that it is an 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 READY TO For Misses A most complete department specializing in parel for college girls.

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.

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.

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. very 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. course A TOUR OF THE ALUMNAE HOUSE. (Continued from page 1.) 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, '13, F. M. Donaldson, *12, and C. S. 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. THE AGONISTIC K. U. B. WHICH KEEPS A. S. C.

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! A. S. C. CLUB OF DECATUR. (Continued from page 1.) plans were discussed for the painting of a portrait of Miss Anna Young.

A LETTER OF APPLICATION A LA CHINESE. 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 | doeMrnatic seasons tort having¢ 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 does. By letting it be known that you are a Davidson man and that you come in response to space taken in The Davidsonian, you can prove that his advertisement was worth the QUEENS COLLEGE EXTENDS HONOR SYSTEM.

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, etc. Last of all the emergency fund must be set aside for the unexpected, is to be used, probably, for which always happens. The budget is as follows: Local Expenses. Finance Department .......... $10.00 Membership Department ..... 7.00 Publicity Department ........ 25.00 Religious Department ........ 20.00 Local Department ............. 75.00 World Fellowship ............ 43.00 Social’ SS6rvics: ..)ccsesscssewes 55.00 General Expenses.

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. 4.—Student Use. 1.

A letter has been sent to each correspondent member of the com- mission giving a report of the work done and suggestions for similar work in other industrial and student associations. Reports have been made to most of the clubs of industrial girls and of business women in the Atlanta Y. W. C. A. by members of 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: “Plays Presented by the Faculty of Agnes Scott College Saturday evening, Feb. 4, 8:30 p. m. “Miss Maria” (Dramatized from one of the “Old Clréster Tales” by Margaret Deland) Characters.

There are so — many possibilities in the thought of the faculty’s dramatie venture that 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 Moses as coach, we do well to expect a “howling” success. It would be a safe wager that not a seat in the chapel is left vacant or a window sill unoccupied or even standing room re- maining when the curtain lifts on Saturday, February 4th.

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 returned to the same physician and) had him to make him deaf so he could not hear her.

Lewe Win- 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. even our orchestra, which Founder’s Day Celebration HOLIDAY, DINNER, EVENING DRESS, MINUET. When you say February 22nd to people they think George Washington's birthday. 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.

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. ee ————————————— 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. Coach: “Have you had any experi- ence with gym work?” Charlotte: “Yes, I've danced with jots of dumb-bells.” —Sandspur. 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. VOCS SESS Se SULA ELLIS MILLINERY C0.

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 FRESHIE’S LETTER TO HER PAL 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 FOOLED AGAIN.

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.

Your wise, “FRESHIB.” DECATUR, A CHARACTER SKETCH. Help Put This Town On the Map. “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 girls in White House think that these young men are certainly peppy and oh, how they can whistle!

FULL LINE SCHOOL SUPPLIES Service Our Motto Nearest to Agnes Scott aa THE AGONISTIC ATHLETIC NEWS 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 Who ever said} that our Seniors of 1922 were getting | recording the many, many goals that, were shot from all parts of the field.

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. SOPHOMORE SISTERS CHOSEN, (Continued from page 1.)

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.

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.

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 udge utcheson to-day. hearing arguments his honor stated 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 brought up. 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. SO SS aT | 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. _ B. O. Z. TRY-OUTS. All B. ©. Z. try-outs must be in by Thursday, February the twenty-third.

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.

After everyone had told every- one else how excited she was, the in- teresting game of Charade was en- joyed. The two words “ingratiate”’ land “hydrotropism,” were acted very eleyerly. Then Miss MacDougall an- nounced that she would show each girl the animal she most wanted to see. Many desires were granted, and | February The Twenty-Second GEORGE AND MARTHA WASH- | INGTON ENTERTAIN. | On February the twenty-second, at six o’clock General and Mrs. George Washington entertained the college community at a large dinner.

Among these were Betsy Ross, LaFayette, Thomas Jef- Daniel Boone, Francis Scott Key, and Pat- rick Henry. ferson, Benjamin Franklin, To anyone who was not present at this memorable event, the foregoing paragraph may be rather mysterious.

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 everything from giraffes and camels | Keiser, S. K.

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.

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.

As- Business Manager, Assistant 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- THE AGONISTIC a 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. AGNES SCOTT REPRESENTA- TIVES GO TO STUDENT VOL- | UNTEER CONFERENCE. | Lectures and Business Meetings to be on Program. The Student Volunteer Conference held at G. N. & I.

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.

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. first and second Menu Fruit Cocktail Chicken a la King Potato Chips Stuffed Celery Olives Grapefruit Salad Mayonnaise Chocolate Ice Cream Chocolate Cake Demi Tasse Saltines Mints We Know Her.

She: 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. DAS DEUTSCHE KRANZCHEN, NEW GERMAN CLUB.

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).

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.

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.

On Thursday, February 9, one com- ing through Main might have been able to hear, coming forth from a cer-) tain room, “Well, where is So-and-so?” and “When do we leave,” “I’m as 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 and Miss McKinney’s opinion that “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. | Weiners and rolls and mustard were unwrapped and as soon as the fire was in the right condition in went about twenty sticks with weiners on the end. It was great, and as weiners decreased, marshmallows were pro- duced and apples, too, were roasted, e all. stoo day afternoon. When starting home the way tended down one hill, across a branch (and to the disappointment of all no one fell in) and up another hill. civilization was seen again and to the sorrow of all the time speedily drew near that we should be buried once again in our books. But the whole of it was great and now the “Hello” to another fellow day student sounds altogether different and means a whole lot more because we know each other better. “FLASHLIGHT”’ PICNIC SCHE- DULED FOR THE EIGH- TEENTH., For those that know the joys of there is a glorious time in the “Moonlight Picnic,” am, and so much pep and enthu- scheduled to take place on Saturday, ism that the other classes had bet- February eighteenth.

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 Might not we say that we ought not have one Day of Prayer for students, but | three hundred and sixty-five Days of Prayer for students of the world.” “HISTORY OF AGNES SCOTT.’’ (Continued from page 1.) twenty-six years he has been presi- /dent of the college, and it is his de termination and ability that have made the institution what it is today.

Vol. VII Che Agonisti AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1922 No. 16 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 (Continued on page 4.) K. U. B. ASKS FOR INFORMA- TION.

This means that we will have quite a few delegates as our guests. The co-operation of every girl is neces- sary to show the visitors what Agnes Scott is. 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.

And the treasury—it is by no means empty. Fifty dollars has already been contributed this year. This collection is supporting a worthy Nacoochee stu- dent. So much for our Sunday School in general. It is doing very specific things. For instance, there was the open forum meeting on February 12. The subject was, “What is Prayer?” and furnished much food for thought as well as many helpful suggestions. We are glad to know that there is to be another such meeting on March 19. The subject of this discussion is “What is Peace?” Then in order that our Sunday School may keep up with the international lessons Mrs. Sydenstric- ker is to give a lesson which the inter- national classes study. 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- thus it went. lanta, so he must have been with them | sometimes. Patronize our advertisers! be our slogan when we go to town.

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 nearly always bring some of our old) 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 Our memories of Dr. Stockard are pleasant and will live. However, we will be fortunate enough to see his picture in the Journal at an early date.

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. Let's practice them and give Dr. Sweet 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.

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-| beth Blalock, Rebekah Harmon, Leone) Bowers, Ruth Harrison, Frances Form-| by, Marguerite Harris, Mary Breed-| love, Gertrude Henry, Idelle Bryant, | Vera Hickman, Lucile Caldwell, Sallie Horton, Elizabeth Fore, Margaret) Hyatt, Florence Brawley, Rosalind | Janes, Lucile Gauze, May Jarman, | Sarah Jane Gibson, Lois Jennings,| Eula Norton, Mabel Keller, Emma Mor- ris, Mary Ann McKinney, Maria Rose, Lallah Mayfield, Louise Saunders, | Adelle Moss, Elizabeth Shaw, Harriet Peade, Lilla Sims, Virginia Perkins, Ella Smith, Catherine Randolph, Annie | Mae Terry, Lillian Thompson, Eugenia | Thompson, Mary Willson.

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. —Awewan. “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 A eat has nine lives, so they say, And that, indeed, is right. But you never hear about the frog, And he croaks every night. —Froth.

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. | Swedish bat-ball. 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.

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.

Stic WATCH FOR AGGIE Extra No. 17 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. Y. W. C. A.

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, DR.

The Gomma Tau banquet, given last Thursday night in the Tea-room, fol- lowed the invitation of the two new members, Mary Barton and Ethel Ware. The long table which was placed in the center of the room was beautiful- ly decorated in yellow. A huge bas- ket of daffodils adorned the center, 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. Members of Gomma Tau present were: Dr. Ormistead, who occupied the head of the table; Miss Hearon, who occupied the foot; Miss Culber- son, Mr. Holt, Ethel Ware, Mary Bar- ton, Frances Charlotte Morkley, Janef Preston, Miss Alexander, Mrs. Dieck- mann, Mrs. Fitzhugh, Mrs. Smith, Miss Goodwin, Miss Horn, Martha Stans- field, Miss Alice Cooper of the class of '20, Mrs. Hammond, who is also an alumna; and Miss Lizzabell Saxon, of Decatur, who, too, is an alumna.

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. =< 2 : _ Che Agonistic Agnes Scott College Weekly. EDITORIAL BOARD.

The question to be decided by these debaters is: “Resolved, that em- ployers’ associations are for the best interests of capital and labor.” Agnites Scott has the affirmative side of the question in the Randolph-Macon de. bate, the negative in the one with Sophie Newcomb. This intercollegiate debate, held every spring between the three great Southern girls’ colleges, Agnes Scott, Randolph-Macon and Sophie New- comb, is one of the great events at Agnes Scott. Each year one team de- bates with Randolph-Macon on the same night that the other encounters Sophie Newcomb.

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.

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- kets, pillow cases, tea napkins, din- ner napkins« and table cloths: Z- The Fashion of Simplicity for the College Girl LOTHES that are in the newest man- ner of the Spring Mode --simple, smart, youthful, correct--and best of all--priced mod- erately.

FULL LINE SCHOOL SUPPLIES Service Our Motto Nearest to Agnes Scott Giving side-lights on our various alumnae is a difficult thing to do. THE AGONISTIC Statistics Given By Classes. 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! 1893. This class and the class of 1901 are the only ones that have the distine- tion of 100 per cent of married mem- bers!

FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION OF A. A. U. W. . (Continued ‘from page FEY 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- Guidance and Appointments shall consist of three or more members and shall co-operate With Faculty and students in giving vocational guidance and making appointments. (C) The Committee on Beautifying Buildings and Grounds shall consist of five members and shall co-operate with the ad- ministration of the college in beautifying the grounds and in- creasing the attractiveness of the buildings and in every way cultivating an appreciation of the beautiful. (D) Entertainment Committee shall consist of three or more mem- bers; The General Secretary and the Manager of the Tea Room shall be members ex- officio of this committee. The duty of this committee shall be to plan and supervise all entertainments given by the General ‘Association. 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 y and the ‘peace of the world. If we are really to contribute our share in the advancement of our country, we must keep ourselves in- formed. The Convention of the A. A. U. W. is pointing out to us the path. ber of the existing League of Nations or becoming a member of some other world wide association of nations, if any other is possible.
