SOPHOMORE “REIGN OF
TERROR”

Rules Read in Darkened Chapel
Last Week

“All Freshmen are requested to
meet in the chapel immediately after
‘Student Government.” These brief |
words announced to the Agnes Scott |
community that Sophomore Week had |
begun. The Freshmen were escorted
to the chapel by Sophomores in order
‘that they might hear the rules that
would seal. their doom. Two hundred
‘Freshmen trembled in the dark as
‘they listened to their sentence read
by the gleam of a flash light. Having

heard the orders they were to abide

by, the Freshmen began their obedi> the Y. W. C. A. hand-book, social ser-'

vice work among the industrial girls

‘ance by marching single file between a
double row of Sophomores and doing
whatever they were commanded.
Breakfast the next morning saw the
full prints of the night
Strange looking creatures with slick-
ed back hair and pig tails, rouged

noses, and lip-sticked eye brows skip- |

ped across the Colonnade, balancing
‘an umbrella in one hand, and bowed
‘themselves into the dining room. As
each Senior took her-place, the Fresh-
‘men at her table arose and remained
standing until she was seated, The
‘meal was rather an interrupted one
‘on account of the Freshmen aiding
the tardy waiters in pouring water
‘and passing grits. Furthermore, out
of the kindness of their hearts (or
‘probably the order of a Sophomore)

‘they informed the faculty of the time

their heads the number of minutes.

Y. W. C. A. TEA FOR FRESH-
MEN HELD IN SUMMER
HOUSE

Girls Wear Visiting Cards For
Identification

Last Thursday afternoon the Y. W.
©. A. gave the freshmen a tea in

. |
the summer house, which was almost

unrecognizably dressed up in trailing
vines and big bows of pink and white
erepe paper.

Of course “tea” is mere poetic
license, because the tea was punch,
of which there was such an abund-
ance that it even lasted until after the
sing that night. Not because the

freshmen didn’t come to drink it, how- |

ever. They came in swarms and
droves and flocks. You couldn’t see
any of the summer house for the
green organdies and rose-colored geor-
gettes and lavender voiles and to com-
plete the costumes, a visiting card
was pinned neatly on the dress of
each lady. So much easier and so
much more breath-saving than intro-
ducing a hundred or more people,
don’t you know.

After much punch and more con-
versation, the party adjourned. The
old girls all felt exceedingly virtuous
over knowing so many of the new
girls and the freshmen had made the
surprising discovery that the Sopho-
mores and Juniors and Seniors were
not very terrifying after all. With all

that to its credit, you might say en-|
thusiastically that the tea was a,

success.

NEW STUDENT OFFICERS

During these first days of school
several student offices have been fill-
ed through elections. Mary Evelyn
Arnold, business manager of the “Sil-
houette,” did not return to school this
year; and Ella Smith, who was form-
erly assistant business manager, was
chosen by the students to fill her place.
At the same time Araminta Edwards
was elected to the position which Ella
Smith had held.

Mary Jarman, the orchestra leader
of last year, is not at Agnes Scott
again. Isabelle Clarke, who was one
of the most gifted and enthusiastic
of last year’s orchestra, will hold the
position of orchestra leader.

K. U. B., the journalistic club, elect-
ed officers for this term last week.
Daisy Frances Smith is the new presi-
dent and Elizabeth Griffin the new
secretary.

What improvements have been made?

First, her attention is called to the
parlor. How comfy and “homey” it
‘looks in its new furnishings! No
wonder the students have to be re-
quested to use it for company only!
The same refined and artistic atmos-
phere is retained in the new soft
grey rugs. The bright tints of
orange in the light shades and candle
sticks are just the warm touches
needed to light up the mahogany and
subdued upholstery. New furniture
has been added. Four chairs and two
tables! More “date-space” to sell
Sophs!

The parlor is not the only part of
our household that ‘has undergone
changes. Gaines has become a dorm-
itory. With a touch here and a few
boards there, it has been turned into
an envied resort. About twenty stu-
dents are now rocking comfortably
along in the wicker chairs it boasts
of. ;

Inman has received her share of the
bounty of new furnishings. We are

YEW FACULTY AT AGNES
SCOTT

Agnes Scott Graduates Among
New Professors

School time has again rolled around
bringing with it the old friends and
many chances to make new friend-
ships. The campus has been filled
with, seemingly, strangers, but in

|

reality they all belong to Agnes Scott. |
These new students are not the only |

new faces on the campus, for the fac-
ulty as well as the student body has
received new recruits. There is a full
dozen new faculty. Some of them are
“for keeps” and some are only to
fill temporary vacancies.

Dr. Salyer is the new English pro-
fessor. He taught first for seven
years at the University of Georgia,
and then five at the University of
Oklahoma. Dr. McCain secured him
for us from Sweetbriar.

Miss Campbell is to fill the vacancy
left by Miss Torracne as assistant
professor of Latin and Greek.

Miss Emily S. Dexter is to have the
assistant professorship of Education
and Psychology. She has been teach-
ing in the Missouri Wesleyan Col-
lege.

Miss Jackson is one from the North,
for she has come from Russell Sage
College, Troy, New York, to take the
place of Assistant Professor of His-
tory.

Miss Phythian, known already to
every Agnes Scotter, has come to as-
sist the French Department. She
should have much to “parler” of, hay-|
‘ing had a year in France.

Miss Cooper, another Agnes Scotter,
‘has deserted the North Carolina Col-
lege for Women in order to join the

Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION FOR
NEW GIRLS

Dutch Effects Carried Out in
Decorations

At last we had a chance to meet
all those interesting-looking new
girls whom we had been seeing all

|over the campus ever since we came!

The Y. W. ©. A. as usual, was our
benefactress. On Saturday night, Sep-
tember 15, she gave a reception for
the class of ’27, with the added at-
tractions of fruit punch and evening
dresses and hand-painted souvenirs,
and a receiving line composed of the
faculty and the Presidents of tthe
Y. W., Student Government and the
| Athletic Association. A special fea-
ture and one which made it doubly
joyful was the presence of so many
of “those who have gone on before”
|—Hilda McConnell and Sara Till and
Eva Wassum, who were just visiting,
jand Philippa Gilchrist, “Lib” Hoke,

| Ruth Pirkle and Miss Margaret Bland

who are the new alumnae members
of our faculty. Whether one was
an “old girl” or a “new girl, she
could not help enjoying this final
taste of the “beau monde” just be-
fore she had to settle down to the
stern realities of A. S. C.. life.

The illusion of being far, far away
\from all things connected with work

| Was further created by the Enter-

rank and file of Agnes Scott faculty. |

She is to teach the doughty deeds
of William the Conqueror.

Miss Margaret Bland has come back
to be a member of the French facul-
ty. She has been teaching at North
Avenue School, in Atlanta, and in the
schools of Charlotte.

Miss Janet Brownlee, of the North,
will replace Miss Goodwin as _ in-
structor in Latin. She comes from
| Washington Seminary, Pittsburg.

Miss Walton is to be the assistant
jin piano and voice. In this way, she
will fill the vacancies of both Miss
Curry and Miss Sutphen.

Philippa Gilchrist will assist. in
| Chemistry, Elizabeth Hoke in Mathe-
matics and Physics, and Ruth Pirkle
in Biology.

The list of the new faculty in full
is: Dr. S. M. Salyer, English, B. A.
| (Amherst) Ph, D. (Harvard).

Mary Campbell, Latin and Greek, B.
| A. (Bartlett) M. A. (Columbia)

OPENING EXERCISES IN
CHAPEL

Many Interesting Speeches
Heard

Agnes Scott was formally opened
on Wednesday morning, September
13. Special exercises were held in
the chapel at this time and several
interesting addresses were made by
friends of the college. Dr. McCain,
who became president near the end
of last year, presided at these first
opening exercises under his leader-
ship.

Dr. R. O. Flinn, pastor off ‘the
North Avenue Presbyterian Church of
Atlanta, and a member of our Board
of Trustees, made an interesting talk
at this time. He told something of
the need of the world for the enlight-
ened guidance of college women, es-
pecially of Christian women.

Mr. J. K. Orr, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, also spoke to the
students at this time. His wit and
originality never fail to delight his
audiences, and Agnes Scott girls hear
him with especial pleasure. His sto-
ries of how “green” he was as a col-
lege freshman found sympathetic list-
eners among the Agnes Scott fresh-
men.

Mrs. Harold Wey, president of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Association,
welcomed the students in behalf of
that organization. She also told of
the Alumnae Tea Room, which is

Girls, did you ever see anything

Of course if we were all Croesuses it

wouldn’t make much difference—we

being just plain humans, we have to
sort of hang on to fragmentary
coins, if we hope to array, even scan-
tily, the yawning shelves of the book-
case.

This would be a heavy job, even for.
Napoleon, if we did not have help—
but girls! that’s just what we have!
There’s something new on the campus
—something that is spelled in terms
of efficiency and satisfaction. Just
ask the freshmen what the “Second

For the first comers it has saved

their numberless books, and of all
wild speculation the following year
as to original prices.
Girls, let’s co-operate. It’s going

to us all.

FIRST Y. W. C. A. SERVICE

The first service of the Y, W. CG. A.
was held on Sunday night, Septem-
ber 17 in the chapel. This service
gave the keynote to the program for
this year and expressed the ideal of
the Y. W. C. A. for the college year
at Agnes Scott.

this time and played a beautiful pre-
lude to the service. Lilian McAlpine
and Frances Gilliland sang a beauti-
ful duet, “God is Love.”

Y. W. C. A., led this first service and
gave the talk for the evening. She
welcomed the Freshmen to Agnes
Scott in the name of the Y. W. C. A.
and told them something of the
hopes and aspirations of that organi-
zation for this year. She gave Chris-
tian fellowship as the central idea of
this year’s work and asked that each
student co-operate in making this
ideal a reality,

THE STUDENT’S QUEST.

Freshmen, on entering a college, are often prone to think
of the college as a place where one studies but especially where

new friendships will be formed, where much practical experience
will be gained by participation in college activities, and where a

sense of independence and of initiative will be developed through
the varying relations of college life. It is true that a college offers,
all of these benefits to its students, and none the less true that these
are among its richest gifts to young men and women. Yet, if this
were all that a college had to offer, equal benefits might be found
on the athletic field, to use a familiar example; for there, certainly,
a sense of fairness and a world of energy and independence are
gained and many happy friendships are formed.

There must be, then, some high aim of a college not recognized
as a goal in other organizations and institutions. This ideal is
learning, and the independence sought for is independence of
thought. Every college worthy of the name seeks to impart not
only knowledge but knowledge made beautiful by good judgment,
by liberality of thought, and by generosity of spirit., The college
strives to give a vision of what is highest and best in intellectual
attainment and, in a Christian college, to temper all with the spirit
of understanding and of universal love which characterizes the
teachings of Jesus. The student’s golden opportunity, then, is
the quest for the “sweetness and light” of true learning, and inso-
much as he presses toward this noble idea] has he realized the full
joy of intellectual and spiritual development which the college has
to offer.

A TESTIMONIAL OF LOVE.

Dr. Armistead’s scholarly and interesting library, which he
gave at his death to the college library is another eminently lovely
and peculiarly appropriate testimonial of his love for Agnes Scott.
In comparison with his eighteen years of unselfish, happy work
for the college and its students, even this generous gift is incon-
siderable ; but we, of course, are grateful indeed for something that
belonged so intimately to Dr. Armistead as his books. The English
room has been designated as a convenient place for them to be
used; and thus his influence, felt so deeply among ‘ail who knew
him in past years will live on not only in their minds; but in those
of coming college generations.

His library is an unusually well chosen and complete collec-
tion and will constitute a decided addition to the Library. One of
Dr. Armistead’s most magnetic traits was the breadth and variety
of his interests; and quite naturally his selection of books reflects
this. There are collections of all the great novelists, English,
French and American, both past and present; classics in Greek,
Latin and German; poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the present;
drama, classic, Elizabethan, contemporary; history ;. biography ;
books on the technique of writing, short story, poetry, journalism;
and a large amount of critical literature. Dr. Armistead’s library
is indeed an appropriate memorial to a beloved teacher and friend
who “loved learning for its own sake.”

OLD FACULTY ENTERTAINS|
NEW PROFESSORS AT
PINE HILL |

A Good Time Was Had By All

Bacon Bat! What fun that does |
And weiners and rolls and a)
big camp fire, besides good singing’)
and glorious moonlight.

Well, the word meant all that
and more to the faculty on Saturday
afternoon. For in the faculty phone
room the nicest poem was tacked up
ever so nicely on the book case, in-
viting the new faculty to one of these
lovely Saturday afternoon sprees.

At four-fifteen about twenty-nine)
of the faculty, old and new, gath-
ered on Main back steps with ail
their paraphernalia—all set to go to
Pine Hill! Some of the liveliest there
were some of the usually most digni-
fied, we have it on good authority.
There was a superabundance of food—
weiners, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce,
with mayonnaise, and mustard, cheese
toasted over the fire, rolls, and marsh-
mallows. To this long list were added
apples and pears. Now who dares
say the Agnes Scott faculty are not
royal entertainers?

The crowd that went was one of the
jolliest that ever started on the road
to Pine Hill. Dirt was not spurned)
by any. Indeed, this fact is so true!
that, we have it on good authority,
our own Dr. Sweet, an M.D., when she|
had picked her club sandwich from|
the ground and had handed it to a
new faculty member, made the re-
mark that she would just die if she
didn’t get to eat that sandwich. And
that remark was typical of the whole)
crowd.

After this bountiful feast was over |
a circle was made around the camp-
fire and joyful voices joined in pleas-
ing song. Each one hated it when
the moon rose so high that it showed
it to be time to desert Pine Hill.

PI ALPHA PHI TRY-OUTS TO
BE HELD MONDAY NIGHT

Subjects For Talks Are Given
Below —

The old girls have been cordially
invited to “try out” for membership
in Pi Alpha Phi, the Debating Club
of Agnes Scott. The invitation to
Freshmen was post poned until next
semester—not because they lack. elo-
quence or the ability to sway the au-
dience, not at all, Their time will
come, for it has surely been said:
“Every dog has his day.” So, next
Monday night, the 1st of October, the
judges will be ready. Each applicant
is entitled to five minutes before the
judges in which she will speak on any
subject she may choose. Suggested
subjects are:

(1) Resolved: That intercollegiate
athletics should be abolished.

(2) Resolved: That A. S. C. should
offer a course in journalism.

(3) Resolved: That Student Gov-
ernment should be introduced in the|
public schools.

(4) Resolved: That six hours exer-|
cise should be required of every stu-|
dent at A. S. C.

(5) Resolved: That a course in de-|
bating should be a standard college!
requirement for graduation.

(6) Resolved: That the successful
standing of a psychological test
should be a standard college entrance!
requirement.

It is hoped that some good debat-|
ing material will be developed in this
way. Another channel for develop-
ment—and perhaps one with a firm-}
er foundation, is in Dr. Salyer’s class
in debating. There are about sixteen
members out of which Pi Alpha Phi
should have at least a majority.

Thursday night, the 27th of Sep-
tember, Pi Alpha Phi will hold its
opening meeting under the leadership
of President Daisy Frances Smith.
Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, an Atlanta
woman, will address the club on the
subject of Parliamentary Law.

October 4th, initiation. of the new
members will take place.

October llth, a debate has been
scheduled.

on Friday, September 7, for a camp
at Cascade Springs, where they could
make plans for the coming year, they
had a fine nucleus from which to
work, i

The girls spen a delightful week-
end in which they enjoyed camping
while working on the program. As
a result we are anticipating a most
delightful program for the coming
year. As it reads at present it is
for September Welcome, Co-opera-
tion, and Membership. October 7th
will be Recognition service for the
freshmen. The rest of October it is
Service, Budget and Industry. No-
vember it is Church Affiliation, Inter-
racial, Student Friendship, and
Thanksgiving. December it is Inter-
national Peace and Christmas.

We are looking forward to having
Miss Lump**n with us for at least
one meeting and are hoping to have
several other people of prominence
during the year.
| Vie Howie opened the year with a
lovely talk of welcome to both old and
|new girls. She set forth the ideals of
the Y. W. C. A. and talked of the
theme for the coming year, which, as
is shown by the program is centered
around fellowship.

We certainly could have no finer
theme than this in a time when the
world needs fellowship more than
anything else to bring about a clear-
er understanding among peoples and
nations.

The National Y. W. C. A. is cer-
tainly doing its part to bring about
| Christian fellowship as we all know.
This is what one of the Y. W.’oyers
says.

ALUMNAE NEWS

Agnes Seott wishes to welcome fs
her faculty several new teachers, who
are alumnae of A. S. C.: Miss Mar-
garet Bland, ’20, French; Miss Alice
Cooper, ’20, History; Miss Philippa
Gilchrist, ’23, Chemistry; Miss Eliza-
beth Hoke, °23, Mathematics
Chemistry; Miss Ruth Pirkle, ’22,

and

Bi-

French.

The lure of Agnes Scott was 249°
much for the ’23 girls; and so, w rhen
the college bells began to ring again|
this fall, quite 5 number of Jast
year’s graduates, either from plain}
force of habit or from the irresistible
fascination of our campus and girls
(we trust it was the latter), came|
back to visit at A. S. C. Among the)
visitors were: Christine Evans, Mary
Goodrich, Hilda MeConnell, Pearl
Smith, Eva Wassum, and Anna}
Meade. Of course we all asked them
that question proverbially put to
graduates, “What are you going to
do?” and this is what they said:
Christine spends this winter in New|
York studying for her A. M. degree
at Columbia; Mary is staying at|
her home in Atlanta, where Hil-
da is living with her; Hilda is
teaching psychology in the Atlanta |
Normal School, and has. a class that
¢an boast married women as well as
Single girls; Pearl is teaching at
her home in Rome, Ga., and Eva in
Macon, while Anna expects to travel
North later on this winter.

Agnes Scott graduates, more than)
those of other standard women’s col-
leges, have always had a reputation)
for assuming the bonds of wedlock,
nor did the class of ’23 fail to furnish
its full quota to the ranks of the)
married. Those Agnes Scott gradu-
ates who have prefixed “Mrs.” to}

the last A. S. C. catalogue are as |.

FIRST MEETING OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL HELD LAST SUN-
DAY MORNING

It looks as if Agnes Scott is going
to have an _ enthusiastic Sunday
School if we judge by the way it
started off September 24.

There was present a crowd of en-

thusiastic girls who are willing to
put their best into the Sunday School,
and that is the thing it needs to
make it a success.
. Dr. MeCain made a delightful talk
which put new
undertaking, for he put it on a basis
of being a real test of our devotion
to our Alma Mater. He says that
when Agnes Scott has started a thing
in the past she has put it over. We
didn’t need to be told that, but it
was certainly a splendid reminder.
Now, we don’t want to let her fail in
this.

Different courses are going to be
offered and we may choose the one
we want. Juniors and Seniors are
to teach Freshmen and Seniors are
going to teach Sophomores, while
faculty is going to teach Juniors and
Seniors.

It can’t help being a success if it
is backed by the crowd with which
it was backed Sunday and with the
splendid Y. W. C. A. Cabinet to give
it incentive.

paste?”

“No, I don’t room with him this

Dear Giddie:

Why haven’t I written in so long?
Well, if you were as busy as I am
you wouldn’t write either. Why, I’m
carrying six hours a week, not to
speak of the eleven I’m dragging.

{Then there are so many other
things more interesting than lessons.
I just love to find out all about the
new faculty—how hard they are ’n
everything. And everybody spends
lots of time visiting freshmen, even
if the old girls are jealous of their
good looks. But in ‘spite of our
jealousy we are crazy about them
all. 1 think boys must like them
right well, too, if you can judge from
the amount of candy they have and
the phone calls they get. I think it
always looks so popular to be able to
pass around candy, don’t you?

But you bet the Sophomores took
the freshmen down a peg last week.
You wouldn’t have known the fresh
young things with cold cream all over
their faces, rouged noses, and lip-
sticked eye-brows. I wish some of
these handsome beaux of theirs could
have seen them! No, I don’t wish
so, either. They might stop sending
candy and we would starve in between
meals.

Now here I am, talking like the
freshmen were the only pebbles on

the beach. Don’t think for one min-
ute that the old girls aren't holding
their own, Lots of them went to
co-ed summer schools and conquered
a man, and some just stayed at home
and got one. They are always talk-
ing about frat pins. You have heard
me speak of E. Shaw. Well, she
says there isn’t any fraternity like
the K. A. But Mary Breedlove says
she still likes Phi Delta Thetas the
best. I don’t guess I'll ever even have
a safety pin to dispute about!

Really, it seems as if I’m the only
girl in school now who hasn’t got
a beau. M. Greene (you know she
is the editor of the Agonistic) says
there isn’t anybody crazy about her
either. But I think she just says
that so I won’t feel bad, ’cause she
is always hunting some one to chap-
eron her for a ride. And when you
ride with girls you don’t have to
have any such animal along!

Well, it’s about time for lights to
go out, but I just must tell you about
the tragedy of M. Chapin, ( a little
freshman from Virginia.) She
got to register when she went to the
infirmary. I know it’s so ’cause she
told me so herself.

Just the same devoted,
“AGGIE.”

Hoasc Announces
Seven New Members

K. U. B. Discusses
Plans For Tryouts

At a meeting of K. U. B., the col-
lege journalistic club, which was held
Monday afternoon, definite plans were
made for the holding of try-outs for
admission to this exceedingly worth-
while organization. The announce-
ment was made that all desirous of
becoming members should: obtain the
subject of their articles for try-outs
from Daisy Frances Smith or from
Dorothy Keith. These articles must
be handed to a member of K. U. B.
by Wednesday, October 10th. Be-
cause it is so stated in its constitu-
tion, Seniors may not compete for
membership at this time, because at
the beginning of the second semester
they become honorary members. The
try-outs are open, however, to fresh-
men, sophomores and juniors, and it
is hoped that a large number of the
under classmen will take advantage
of this fact.

K. U. B. needs several members to
fill up its depleted ranks; and by
those interested in the club it is
earnestly hoped that it in turn will
be of service in giving girls some real
training in journalistic experience.
Plans for the study of correct news-
paper writing have been formulated,
and there are prospects of diseussions
and lectures, based both on textbooks
and on the actual items in the various
city and national papers.

The president of K. U. B., Daisy
Frances Smith, for the past two weeks
has been calling at the offices of
the Constitution, the Georgian, the
Journal and the DeKalb New Era, in
a successful effort to come to terms
as to the type of news and the most
suitable method of writing it up. Sev-
eral exceedingly helpful suggestions
have been made; and by all of the
papers a gratifyingly cordial interest in
the doings of Agnes Scott was evinc-
ed. It is hoped that through this
medium we may become more widely
known and understood as a college;
and that people in general may come
to feel some of the interest we have
in ourselves.

New Members Of
Blackfriars

Blackfriar tryouts for old students
were held Monday night in the chapel
before the faculty members and the
executive board. Blackfriars were
very much gratified at the large
number of girls who tried out. Owing
to the already large membership and
the particular needs of the club at
this time, only a few girls could be
elected, though a large number did
very creditable work. Those elected
were:

Catherine Graeber, Ann McKay,

Louisa Duls.

many friends among the Agnes Scott
Alumnae of Atlanta and Decatur
whom they knew as students here.
Miss Alexander’s tea was a pleasant
occasion where old friendships were
renewed and where the Alumnae who
had not had the pleasure of meeting
the honor guests were given an op-
portunity to do so. The afternoon
was an enjoyable one for all who
were present, and the tea was one of
the loveliest entertainments ever given
at Agnes Scott.

SOPHOMORES PRESENT “ON
THE INSIDE, LOOKIN’
AT THE OUTSIDE.”

Freshmen On Board S. S. A. S.
Dr. Sweet Presents Cat.

The annual. contest of wits be-
tween the Sophomore and Freshman
classes took place in the chapel Sat-
urday night, October 6, when the
Sophomores again won the Black
Cat. <A large crowd of spectators
was present to see the stunts and to
give encouragement to the two
classes. One side of the chapel was
decorated with the Freshman colors,
black and gold. Streamers from four
corners met in the center, and along
them were hung black ships. The
walls also were decorated with these
ships and with the black and gold of
the Freshmen. The other side of
the chapel was Sophomore territory.
On the walls were pictures of prison
windows with wise owls looking out.
The columns were wrapped with red
and white, the Sophomore colors, and
a row of cat’s foot-prints up the sides
of the columns led to a big black cat
at the top.

The front seats of the chapel were
reserved for the Freshmen and Sopho-
mores. At 8 o’clock they entered with
their cheer leaders—the Freshmen
coming first and then the Sopho-
mores. The Freshmen were assist-
ed in giving their yells by the
Juniors; and their leaders were Mar-
tha Lin Manly, Junior, and Elizabeth
Norfleet, Freshman. The Seniors and
Sophomores joined their forces with
Nancy Evans, Senior, and Helena
Hermantz, Sophomore, as leaders.
The yells were especially good this
year and both classes showed that
they were giving their most enthus-
iastic support to the casts of the
stunts.

The Freshman stunt came first.
Programs in black and gold colors
were distributed among the people in
the audience, announcing that the
Freshmen would enact the events de-
scribed in “The Log of the S, S. A. 8.”
The curtains were drawn back and
showed a scene on deck of the ship
whose officers were Captains Cole-
man, Lingle, Smith, Cooper, Fearring-
ton, and Fain, Besides a number of
sailors the following passengers were
present: Mr. Tanner, Mr. Wentworth
Smith, Cicero, and Mile. Oberle.

The voyage began on September
12, The chief event of this scene
was Mr. Wentworth-Smith’s entrust-
ing of a valuable casket to Captain
Coleman. Everything seemed to be
progressing nicely, when on Septem-
ber 20 the ship ran into a gale. The
most terrible loss came when all the
cosmetics were washed overboard. At
this point the sailors began to show
a marked discontent which resulted
in mutiny on October 6. Captain
Lingle was overcome and the precious
casket was captured. The crew op-
ened this and found that it contain-
ed the coveted black cat. Thereupon
the stunt came to an end with the
whole cast singing, “Don’t You Wish
You Were a Freshman, too.”

Those who took part in this clever
stunt were: Mary Ferguson, Marcia
Green, Mary Weems, Sue Marie Wilds,
Elizabeth Clark, Frances Buchanan,
Maurine Bledsoe, Catherine Mitchell,
Ernestine Black, Nancy Lou Knight,
Phyllis Roby, Edna Anderson, and
Catherine Johnson.

This stunt was very entertaining.
The lines were bright and clever, and
the music and dancing were
especially good. The sailor’s horn-
pipe was one of the most attractive
parts of the stunt. The Freshmen
are to be congratulated for presenting
such a creditable stunt.

The Sophomore stunt was next.
The programs, barred to resemble the
window of a jail, announced the
title to be, “On the Inside, Lookin’
At the Outside.” The scene was a
spot on the Road to Knowledge,

Pi Alpha Phi Holds
Opening Meeting

Friendly advice has proved helpful
more times than once. The ex-offi-
cers of Pi Alpha Phi, through ex-
perience and observation came to
these conclusions:

(1) Freshmen should not be allow-
ed to try out for Pi Alpha Phi until
the second semester.

(2) A study of Parliamentary Law
would be beneficial to the club.

(3) It would be well for Pi Alpha
Phi to co-operate with Blackfriars in
“fixing up” one of the Society Halls
for the use of both clubs.

The officers and members being of
@ progressive turn of mind, decided
to adopt these resolutions, and act
accordingly. They “acted according-
ly” immediately by securing Dr. Mc-
Cain to give a lecture on Parliamen-
tary Law, which was extremely bene-
ficial as well as interesting. The
usual order of a meeting is:

(1) Calling to order.

(2) Reading and approval of the
records.

(8) Announcements.

(4) Reports of special Committees.

(5) Reports of Standing Commit-
tees.

(6) Blections.

(7) Special assignments,

(8) Unfinished business.

(9) New business.

(10) Program for the day.

(11) Adjournment.

Dr. McCain also said that this so-
called usual order was subject to
change according to wishes of the
club. Fine points concerning parlia-
mentary form were discussed and
when the lecture came to a close,
every member felt that she was cap-
able of stopping, starting, hindering,
helping—yea, even of filibustering
legislation.

Initiation of new members was
planned for the night of October 11th.

nounced the following schedule for

Blackfriars had their first raetiis
on Friday, September 21, at which
time plans for the coming year were
discussed. Miss Gooch, under whose
able leadership the club accomplished
so much last year, gave an outline
of this year’s program. Instead of
the usual three groups ef plays, Miss
Gooch is planning to put on four
groups, the first of which are to be
on October 30th. Three one act plays
will be presented then: “The Lights
of Happyland” by Marion Short;
“Twelve Good Men and True,” by
Bessie Springer Breene, and “Lima
Beans.”

All of these are one-act comedies,
and are exceedingly clever. The
casts of these are as follows:

Plans For Biblical
Club

The Archaeological and Biblical
Club sound formidable but not a whit
more so than the Lecture Associa-
tion. Moreover it brings noted and
distinguished speakers to our Alma
Mater, too. In fact, the Biblical Club
may almost be called a rival of the
Lecture Association.

The first meeting took place Mon-
day night. It was purely a business
meeting and the purpose and plans
of the club for the year were dis-
eussed. A tentative program was!
presented for the approval of the
members. It has several novel and a
great many attractive features. At
the November meeting Dr. Campbell
Morgan will meet with the members.
He will not be able to give a lecture
but the opportunity to meet and know
him personally will be coveted by all
who have heard him speak. In De-
cember a noted archeologist will ad-
dress the club. It is hoped that Miss
Lewis will speak at the February
meeting on the subject of “Christ im)
Art.” It is a subject in which she
is well versed and if the present
plans hold the club will be very for-
tunate in hearing her speak. The
club members are to present th
April program and the May meeti
will be taken up with plans for th
next year.

Everyone who takes Bible is eligi-
ble for membership in the Biblical
Club. One does not have to take
Greek nor be a Bible major, Mar-
garet McDow is president, Sallie Hor-
ton is vice-president and Josephine
Schuessler is secretary and treasurer,

THE LECTURE ASSOCIATION.
During the past week the Lecture Association of Agnes Scott
College announced its plans for the year and conducted its annual
sale of season tickets. The results of this sale were not as en-

couraging as the officers had hoped, and another such sale will be|thusiasm at the first tap of the bell. |
At 9:15 the college community had)

conducted in the course of the next month, as has been announced.
The Lecture Association is an organization which, we feel,

can hardly be praised enough. It furnishes the students of Agnes
Seott a means of seeing, of hearing, and sometimes of really know-
ing men and women who are leaders in the world today. As one of
our professors remarked, “Hearing noted lecturers will probably
not mean more to you than your class work; but, after you have
left college, it will be the thing that you will remember with most
pleasure.” At any rate the presence on our campus of people,
eminent in the world of art, of music, of literature, and of politics,
’ gives to us a contact with the great and a first hand knowledge of
“the best that is being thought and said,’ which is of untold value

HE
First Meeting Of
Sunday School Classes

Miss Margaret Bland Is
Superintendent

After hard and continuous train-
ing, Agnes Scott girls had learned to
sleep through the Sunday morning
breakfast bells and to awake for at
least one day out of the week at
10:30, a thing much more desired
than the daily 6:20 rising. But alas!
the severe training was all for
naught; another bell has begun
ring at 9 o’clock and it would in all
probability take them at least two
years to adapt their slumbers to this

to us in the broadening of our outlook and in the increasing of our
general culture. These speakers give enough stimulus to our in-
tellects to keep us from a “bookish” habit of mind, which, in our
opinion, is the worse fate which can befall a student.

Agnes Scott has been especially fortunate in the lecturers
who have come to us through the auspices of the Lecture Asso-
ciation. Last year we had Hamilton Holt, an authority on the
League of Nations; Bert Johnson, one of America’s most famous
seulptors; Dhan Gopal Mukerje, the young Indian poet; David
Eugene Smith, the author of many books on mathematics, and
Miss Maude Royden, the only ordained woman minister in England.

_Such a list of speakers cannot fail to excite enthusiasm among
those who care for things that are worth while.
. This year the Lecture Association is planning one of the most
interesting programs in its history. Speakers who have been men-

_ tioned include Hugh Walpole, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, John
Erskine, Dubose Heyward, and Paderewski. We feel that any

_organization which brings to Agnes Scott such men and women
as these deserves the unanimous support of students and faculty,
and we wish to urge that advantage be taken of this next oppor-

excessive noise.

So with patience they must accept
the bells and awake regardless of their
former training. The bells are the

chimes ealling Agnes Scott to its own)

Sunday School. It was here that Dr.
McCain addressed the students and
told them what Sunday School really
meant to their college life. He said
that Agnes Scott aims always “went
through” and that this year he ex-
pected to see the college Sunday
School succeed.

So last Sunday all arose with en-

assembled in the chapel and Miss Mar-

garet Bland, the new superintendent

led a most appropriate assembly
exercise. At 9:30 the assembly ad-
journed and the girls went to the
various classes. These different groups

The Hornet announces that its next

a tribute to the Purple Hurricane.

Dr. George W. Quick, of Greenville,

He said, “You should never be any-

Y. W. C. A. NEWS

On Sunday, October 7, one of the
most beautiful and impressive Ves-
per services of the year was held.
Recognition service is not a new thing
to the old girls for we have known
of and loved it since we as freshmen,
walked down the aisle and lighted our
candles at the altar of love and good-
fellowship as represented by the
Y. W. C. A. Though it is not new to
us it gives us a feeling of joy to
think of other girls being able to
start their college career with this
wonderful light to hold before them.

Vie made a talk which will not soon
be forgotten by those present, for it
was based on that song which means
so much to every college girl, “Fol-
low the Gleam,” and her talk made us
love it even more.

Frances Gilliland is making plans
‘for the student industrial commis-
sion meetings which start very soon.
This is a movement of which com-
paratively few of the girls know. It
is formed of a number of students
and working girls who meet at the
Y. W. club rooms in Atlanta every
two weeks in order to know each
other better and to discuss the prob-

lems of the day. Last year one of
the questions studied was that of
unemployment. Outside of the fact
that we learn much from these talks
and investigations we find the work-
ing girls delightful companions and
we learn to value their friendship.
Frances is hoping to have several

| girls out to talk to us this year, which

will give an opportunity to those who
can’t be on the commission to know
the girls.

Poetry Club Holds Methodist Girls\K. U. B. Elects'Student Volunteer Interesting Plans

First Meeting
For Year

Cheatham, Foster And Walker
Honored

Souls of Poets dead and gone, what
Elysium have ye known, happy
field or mossy cavern, choicer
than the Poetry Club of Agnes Scott
College? An organization, sufficient
to turn green with envy the eulogies
of the much-praised Mermaid Tavern,
it offers a haven of refuge to the
poetic souls of Agnes Scott, whither
they may hasten to read in undisturb-
ed peace their own “efforts,” how-
ever lengthy, to enjoy the general
poetic atmosphere and, it must be
confessed, to feast themselves on
something more substantial than rea-
son. All of these qualities, together
with a beautiful, blazing, open fire
were combined when the club held
its fortnightly meeting with Miss
Laney, October 8, at 8:30 o’clock.

It was a most interesting meeting.
Several poems by the members them-
selves were read and discussed, and
in addition, Miss Laney read a love-
ly sonnet by David Morton. In par-
ticular, was interest aroused by the
exhibition in pamphlet form of the
results of the National Students’ Poe-
try Contest conducted last year. Ag-
nes Scott was especially proud of
ene of her own girls—Elizabeth
Cheatham, whose poem was ranked
‘eighth in the list of contributions. The
poem which she sent in—‘‘Mood’—
was published in one of last year’s
AURORAS and is familiar to all of
the old girls. It is interesting to note
that Harriet Munro ranked “Mood”
‘as third best out ef all the poems sub
‘mitted and it is also interesting to
note that while Agnes Scott had three
names on the Roll of Honor—Eliza-
' beth Cheatham, Ellen Walker, and
Maud Foster, she was the only South-
ern Woman’s College given a place
there at all, though Randolph-Macon,
Sophie Newcomb, Hollins and others
entered the contest.

As the club will only celebrate its
third anniversary this year, we are
very proud of it, indeed, and are ex-

Five New Members

Admitted To Pi Alpha Phi

Tryouts Held October 4;
Results Pleasing

On Thursday, October 4th, distract-
ed-looking girls walked about the
campus, hurriedly murmuring to them-
selves such phrases as “The Japa-
nese situation is—” or “Six hours of
exercise are absolutely—”’ or “The
Standards of the College would not be
lowered by—.” A casual observer
might have thought that much learn-
ing had made them mad. But, to the
initiated, the explanation was simple:
these were the brave spirits who were
shortly to try out for Pi Alpha Phi,

Thursday night, these girls gave,
in the chapel before a terrifying au-
dience of learned professors and elo-
quent debaters, their carefully pre-
pared speeches. At least they fondly
hope that that was what they gave;
some of them have confessed that
they could not swear to a single word
that passed their lips. The hearers,
however, seem to have been satisfied
with the ability shown, for five new
members were taken into Pi Alpha
Phi: Catherine Graeber, Emily Jones,
Dorothy Keith, Ruth Rogers, and El-
len Walker.

Here’s to the new debaters. May
they make even more illustrious the
debating record of A. S. C.

Entertained

Delightful Party Given
By Decatur Sunday
School

A party!

How excited the Methodist girls at
Agnes Scott were as they stepped
into the cars which were waiting in
front of Main to take them to the
party they had heard so much about.
Yes, they had heard lots about it, for
Mr. Gibson had extended an invitation
in Chapel and Dr. Sweet and Miss
Skeen had been talking it on
the Campus. When the cars stopped
and they had alighted, they were
ushered into the new Sunday-: *hool
building, which was decorated h
flowers. They rea. 1 that our }
esses knew something of Agnes Sc
for purple and wh* ‘ aneries w <n
evidence, and pup t the best
ever tasted—was ple The girls
were given a hearty w -ome with the
punch, and after talkii z awhile, they
were told it was time for the presen-
tation of a program which had been
prepared.

After short speeches of welcome
by Mr. Gibson and Mr. Eakes, the pas-
tor, everybody sang several songs to-
gether. All realized how poor their
efforts were, however, when to the ex-
treme delight of all, Mr. Durham, of
the Shrine Ghanters, sang. He was
encored again and again and then the
guests were requested to go one by
one into an adjoining room to register
their names and home addresses. As
one after another went in, squeals and
shreiks were heard which, in time,
were justified by the disclosure that
electric sh * wre heine given the
guests.

The next thing on the program was
ice cream and cake—purple and white
ice cream and angel food cake with
fancy icing. This, of course, was en-
joyed. Mr. Gibson continued by dis-
playing the wonderful insight and
mind-reading ability of Baron Mind.
Why, when blindfolded, he declared an
object to be a bell, when someone rang
it!

‘A new president had recently been
installed in the class and so the out-
going one was called to the front to
be presented with a “p. g.” This took
the shape of a tray loaded with glass-
ware; but before it reached its desti-
nation it was changed into shattered
“smitherines’—due to an untimely
fall of the precious cargo. Imagine
the embarrassment of the new presi-
dent, who had been discoursing on how
surprised she was and how welcome
would be the gift.

The grand finale came when a cam-
era was brought forth to take a flash-
light picture of the contented en-
semble. This object met with the
same disaster as the unhappy glass-
ware, for instead of the noise of the
usual explosion came the clatter of the
upsetting of the camera!

After a final cup of punch and such

Miss Davis Hostess

Miss Tucker, Y. W. C. A.

Secretary Is Honor Guest

Saturday afternoon Miss Davis
gave another one of her famous ba-
con-bats. The weather was ideal for
a hike into the woods and supper
cooked over a camp fire, and when
the hike turned into a long ride out
in Miss Phythian’s car, nothing could
have been more perfect.

Miss Davis is an experienced hos-
tess at these cooked-in-the-woods sup-

jpers, and she knows just what to

carry in the way of utensils and food.
While she cooked delicious steaming
chocolate over the fire, her guests
toasted bacon, rolls, and cheese.

Henderson Are Chosen

Tryouts for K. U. B., the journal-
istic club on the campus, were un-
usually large in number and among
the best the club has ever had. Five
new members were taken in.
are Margaret Tufts, Louisa Duls,
Margery Speake, Mary Palmer Cald-
well and Elizabeth Henderson. The
tryout for this club consist of two
papers, one written up as if for one
of the Atlanta papers, and one as if
for the Agonis ic. One of the require-
ments for me: bership in K. U. B. is
that a girl must have had experience
ither on the Agonistic or some other

, | Paper.
K. U. B. is planning a busy year
and expects to send the important

news of the week at Agnes Scott to
the four Atlanta papers for each Sun-
day edition. This has already been
done and on October 6 K. U. B. had
a column. Not only are articles sent
to the Atlanta papers, but also to the
DeKalb county paper and to the home
papers of the students. In this way
it tries to keep Agnes Scott in touch
with Atlanta and to send news of in-
terest to the home papers.

The old members of K. U. B. are
Daisy Frances Smith, President;
Elizabeth Griffin, Vice-President;
Frances Amis, Secretary and Treas-
urer; Frances Gilliland, Louise Buch-
anan, Janice Brown, Victoria Howie,
Mary Greene, Dorothy Keith and
Georgia May Little.

Miss Walton In Recital

One of the most delightful events of
this year was the recital given Sat-
urday night, October 13th, by Miss
Walton, assisted by Mr. Johnson,
tenor; Mrs. Morgan-Stephens, violin-
ist, and Mr. Dieckmann, pianist, and
Mrs. Johnson, accompanist.

Miss Walton is a graduate of the
| Toronto Conservatory of Music, and

Boston. She is now the contralto so-
‘loist in the choir of All Saints’ Church
lin Atlanta. Her beautiful contralto
| voice and the charm and poise with
which she sang made this a very
pleasant evening for all who attended.
The following program was given:

Council

College Representatives

Meet At Agnes
Scott

On October the fifth and sixth,
Agnes Scott a second time had the
privilege of acting as hostess to the
Council of the Georgia Student Vol-
unteer Union for foreign missions.
We entertained this Council last year
and thus were doubly glad to have
the opportunity again.

This Council consists of the Execu-
tive Board of the Georgia Union and
delegates from each one of the Geor-
gia colleges in which there are Stu-
}dent Volunteers. The purpose of the
Council is to plan the year’s work
for the state und give inspiration to
the members in order that they may
contribute to the spiritual life of their
own colleges. This year, plans for
|the Quadrennial Student Volunteer
Conference to be held in Indianapolis,
December 28-January 1, inclusive,
were discussed, and the relation of
each college to the conference ex-
plained.

This Quadrennial Conference, as its
name indicates, "is held every four
years, and ineludes students from all
over the United States. Every col-
lege has the right to send one dele-
gate for every hundred students and
only one-third of these delegates may
be Volunteers. Agnes Scott, thus, will
send five delegates. The expenses for

has also studied with Mr. Hubbard, of |

such representatives will be paid eith-
er by the college or the Y. W. C. A.
and the students selected will have
the opportunity of hearing world-
famed speaker: on topies of world in-
terest to all thinking Christians. Mr.
Milton G. Stauffer, representing the
Student Volunteer Headquarters in
New York, explained all of the details
clearly and interestingly.

Beside our own representatives at
the Council meeting—Emmie Ficklen,
Secretary of the Georgia Union and
Lillian McAlpine, the delegate from
the Agnes Scott Volunteer group—
ten colleges were represented. The
girls were our own guests and the
boys, the guests of Emory. Brenau,
Wesleyan, Shorter, Bessie Tift, La-
Grange, Georgia State College for
Women, Georgia State Normal, Mer-
cer, Georgia Tech, and Emory—dele-
gates from these were all present.

It will be of especial interest to Ag-
nes Scott to learn that in the course
of the meetings, Emmie Ficklen was
elected as representative from the
State for the National Council meet-
ing in Yonkers, N. Y., next Febru-
ary. We who know Emmie as vice-
president of our Y. W. C. A. know
how well she will represent the state
and how much she will bring back
to us, as well.

We were glad to have the Student
Volunteer Council with us. We hope
it will meet with us again next year
and we wish it the best possible suc-
cess in its work.

“‘Roseanne’’ Presented

Stephens

Agnes Scott Alumna’s Play
Produced In New York

“Gone are de days” of the negro
“mammy” and of the old banjo; gone
are the sunny plantations, and with
them a people whom all true South-
erners love—the old-fashioned negro.

But Miss Nan Bagby Stephens, of
Atlanta, has contrived a plan for
bringing them back to us, at least
for a night. She has written a folk
play, entitled “Roseanne,” and taken
from the life of the Georgia negro
at his best. The play has been bought
by Lee Schubert, Rachel Carothers,
and Mary Kirkpatrick, producers, of
New York City; and will be present-
ed first on October 25th.

For The
Silhouette

Date Of Publication Will
Be In June

Last week the editor of the Silhou-
ette called a meeting after Chapel to
decide when the students wanted
the annual to be published this year.
A vote was taken, and June twentieth
Was agreed upon as the time. By
fixing the date a month after school
closes the pictures of May Day, which
is such a gala occasion, and the tourn-
ament returns, will be included:

All pictures will again be taken by
the White Studio, of New York, which
did such excellent work last year, and
the photographer is expected to arrive
sometime this month so that the pic-
tures can be used for Christmas pres-
ents. It is also planned that each girl
will have at least two pictures in the
Silhouette, one with her class and the
other in a snapshot. The faculty, too,
will have their photographs in the
annual, a thing which has never been
done before. The Campus views will
be especially attractive, as they were
taken in May, when the grounds were
at their loveliest. Other features are
the pictures of the interiors of the va-
rious buildings, which will not let us
forget the scenes of so many happy
hours.

Not only are the pictures going to
be exceptionally good, but equally so
is the art work. That department is
in the capable hands of Del Bernhardt,
and we are expecting some charming
work from her.

Last year’s staff managed so well
that they were able to bequeath a
goodly sum to the present staff, and it
is the latter’s wish that they may do
as well as their predecessors, and with
the following students in charge of it,
we know that the Silhouette will be a
wonderful success:

Polly Stone, Editor-in-Chief; Del
Bernhardt, Assistant Editor; Ella
Smith, Business Manager; Araminta
Edwards, Assistant Manager; Genie
Perkins, Photographic Editor; Bell

Bible Club Holds

Interesting Meeting

Longfellow’s “Judas Maccabeus”
Read by Students.

Among the many live clubs at Ag-
nes Scott is the Bible Club. It is
quite different from any preconceived
idea one might have, for it is not
long faced or Puritanical. On the
other hand, it is full of pep and go.

The first meeting of the year was
held Monday night, October 8, in the
Mnemosynean Hall. There were
about fifty girls present. Consider-
ing how many other meetings there
were on that night, the attendance
was good. The social part of the
program came first. The dramatiza-
tion of “Judas Maccabeus,” by Long-
fellow, was read by different members
of the club. Then Mrs. Syderstricker
read part of “Oratorio Judas.”

This social hour was followed by
a business meeting. The first Mon-
day night of every month, from 7 to
8, was taken for the regular time of
meeting. Plans for the next meet-
ing were made. Dr, Perry, professor
of English at Tech will talk at the
next meeting.

Everyone is looking forward to a
full year with Margaret McDow,
President; Sallie Horton, Secretary,
and Josephine Scheussler, Treasurer.

MISS BLAND’S SPEECH AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE
NEW MEMBERS OF HOASC.

When Grover Cleveland first heard of his election as presi-
dent of the United States, he stood for a moment at the window
of his office to look into the street at the surging, triumphant
crowd gathered to do him honor. The sight was nearly too much
for him; in an almost broken voice, he said: “I never before
realized what was expressed in the phrase ‘a sea of faces’—look
at it now as beautiful and yet as powerful as the waves of the
ocean.”

Whenever I stand in an assembly of Agnes Scott girls, these
words of Grover Cleveland come to my mind—‘“a sea of faces
as beautiful and yet as powerful as the waves of the ocean” and
I am almost awed, awed at the beauty that may lie in your
thoughts, your dreams, your eagerness of mind, awed at the
power of the lives that lie ahead of you.

Whether or not you are a member of Hoase, it is for you to
show the beauty of your thoughts, the power of your lives; it is
for you to show yourself, worthy of Agnes Scott and, necessarily,
we must sometimes fail in its pursuit. But it is our ideal that every
student elected to Hoasc, must be worthy of Hoasc. And what
is it to be worthy of Hoasc? To divide your attention equally
between books, friends, and college activities, that is to be worthy
of Hoase; to remember that the education upon which-you are
entering is not merely a college course but a life course for which
your four years here is but a preparation; to feel that in coming
to Agnes Scott you have “joined a family whose honor is your
honor, whose welfare is your own, and whose interests are your
first consideration,” that is to be worthy of Hoasc; to set yourself
a standard so high that it will be glory to live up to it and then to
live up to it—that is to be worthy of Hoasc; and, above all, to be
worthy of Agnes Scott, that is to be worthy of Hoasc.

In our chapel services for the past two weeks, Dr. McCain
has been giving us sketches of the history of Agnes Scott. We
have learned how by the help of friends on the campus and friends
in town, Agnes Scott has developed a high standard of scholar-
ship, has enlarged its endowment and has increased its buildings
and property. This morning, I want to tell you of the growth,
by the help and interest of the students of something more
intangible than buildings and endowment, more intangible even
than standards of scholarship. I want to tell you of the growth
of the Agnes Scott spirit.

As Agnes Scott grew from a tiny, preparatory school to a college
of recognized standing, there was growing also in the minds and
the hearts of the students, a greater loyalty and a greater de-
yotion to their Alma Mater.

In the spring of 1916, a group of girls felt that there should
be some organization which would give recognition to students
who had shown unselfish devotion to Agnes Scott, an organiza-
tion which would bring together those who had most served Agnes
Scott that, through united effort, they might render more un-
tiring service to their Alma Mater. After having talked over
this plan with Miss Hopkins and other members of the faculty,
they presented to the faculty a plan for the organization. Thus
the organization under the name of Hoasc was first given formal

recognition and sanctioning.

Since its beginning, Hoase has continued to grow in ideals
and in service. It is now sponsored by three members of the
faculty—Dr. Sweet, Dr. McCain, and Mr. Holt. Its membership
is composed of a small group of Seniors. It is difficult to describe
the standard by which these members are elected because this
standard is an ideal.

Miss Gibbons is teaching Econom-
ics this winter at the University of
Wyoming.

Miss Sutphen is teaching music
in Washington this year. Her fath-
er died this summer and she is now
staying with her brother.

NEWS FROM OLD FACULTY.

It is always interesting to hear of
our friends who have not come back
this year and from those who are
back for the summer months. The
faculty had a very interesting sum-

mer and those who have not come
back this year are engaged in many
lines of interesting work.

Miss Hale and Miss Glendenning
spent the summer in France. Miss
Glendenning spent September in Eng-
land and Switzerland and will spend
the winter at the Sorbonne.

Miss Culberson is at Columbia Uni-
versity this winter working for her
doctor’s degree.

(Miss Goodwyn was unable to re-
turn on account of the death of her
father and is now teaching in Rich-
mond, Virginia.

Miss Fitzhugh is spending the
winter in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Miss Torrance is at the University
of Chicago on an Honorary Fellow-
ship, studying for her Ph. D.

Miss Curry was married the first
of September. She is now Mrs. Cran-
dal Prescott and is living in Canada.

Otto Gilbert, of ’22, assistant in
physics, married this summer.

Sarah McCurdy, assistant in chem-
istry, class of ’20, was married this
summer.

Canna Burgess, class of ’22, and
assistant in history last year is now
teaching in Charlotte, N. C.

Miss Fanny McCaa, class of ’21,
and assistant in biology is now teach-
ing science at Anniston, Ala. She is
coming Thanksgiving.

Miss Hearon spent the summer in
Washington at the Congressional Li-
brary writing her book.

Miss Davis has just had an article
published.

FACULTY ACQUIRES PETS.

Perhaps some will be quite surpris-
ed to learn that our fair-minded facul-
ty have pets! Oh, no! The students
are not so fortunate as to be classed
among the favorites. Dogs, cats,
moths, and gold fish make up this
favored few.

Miss Bland seemed so attractive to
a certain little white dog that he
couldn’t resist the temptation of fol-
lowing her from Decatur to Gaines.
And everywhere that Miss Bland goes
the dog is sure to go—whether it be
to classes, to dinner, or to faculty
meeting.

The fortunes of this little crea-
ture have been greatly changed dur-
ing the last few days. A week ago
he was entirely without a home. Now
he is claimed and cared for by five
kind members of the faculty. It is
rumored that his name is “Jerry”
Gissing.

However, the faculty seem even
more partial to cats than to dogs.
And the singular part is that they
didn’t adopt the cats, but the cats
adopted them, so says Miss Campbell,
the owner of a lovely black feline.
Being swept with a hearth broom is
the hobby of this cat. It looks brutal,
but it feels good, says Miss Pussy.

Three times a day some inhabitant
of Lupton is seen to carry from the
table some of the most delicate dishes
of the meal for this little animal.
But Miss Daugherty says that she
doesn’t believe in spoiling children, so
she makes her cat go to the dining
room for meals.

All these pets are quite attractive,
but the prettiest ones on the campus
are owned by Miss Rothermel and
Mr. Baker. Miss Rothermel’s moth
won the beauty contest, while Mr.
Baker’s gold fish ran it a close second.

You ask where all these pets came
from? No one can be quite sure, but
it has been rumored that Mr. Tart
was the former owner of them all.

FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS NEW
RULES.

The fire department at Agnes Scott
has been reorganized and the horrid
wet towels will not have to be taken
down stairs in the wee small hours
again. This does not mean that fire
drills are no more but that the latest
methods of fighting fires are to be
used.

Dr. McCain and Emily Arnold, the
fire chief, asked both the fire depart-
ments of Atlanta and Decatur for sug-
gestions so that in case of a fire the
dormitories could be emptied in the
quickest and easiest and safest man-
ner. Acting on these suggestions the
following changes have been made:
At the sound of the bell every girl is
to pull down the windows in her room,
put on her bed-room slippers and ki-
mona and form in a line of twos on}
her wing and march downstairs to the
lobby. The lieutenants on each wing
must see that every room is empty
and every window down before leaving
her wing.

This system will be much less con-
fusing than the old one of dashing!
down stairs, making as much noise
fussing as possible. It will be much}
more quiet and orderly and in case of
a fire the danger of anyone’s being
hurt will be greatly lessened.

A fire chief for each dormitory has
been elected and they have appointed
lieutenants for the wings.

Miss Laney taught at the Byrn
Mawr Summer School.

Miss Gaylord received her M. A.)
degree from the University of Chicago!
this summer.

Miss Martha Stansfield took grad-
uate, work at the University of Chi-
cago. Miss Stansfield in the class
of °21, has been assistant in Math)

and Latin and secretary to the dean||

for the past two years.

Miss Smith went West to the An-||

nual Meeting of American Associa-
tion of University Women in Port-
land, Oregon, and spent the rest of
the summer in California.

Miss Skeen took graduate work at
Emory University.

Mr. Stukes was awarded his Phi

Beta Kappa from Davidson this sum-||

mer.

Mr. Rankin taught at the summer
school of the University of North
Carolina,

Miss McDougall is at Columbia Uni-
versity working for her Ph. D. on
a scholarship for excellent work
which has never been awarded to a
woman before.

FOLIO PLANS.

Although Folio ig technically known
as an organization for Freshmen, it
might as properly be termed the
Sophomore Short Story Club. Up un-
til February of each year its officers
and the majority of its members are
Sophomores. In fact, just at present,
it boasts not a single Freshman on
its membership roll.
This condition is soon to be remedi-
ed, however, for the first tryouts for
Freshmen have already been announc-
ed. The closing date for manuscripts
to be handed in is October 26. Every
Freshman who aspires to short-story
writing is cordially invited to sub-
mit a story by that time. The next
tryouts will be held in January, after
which the Sophomore members will
gracefully retire and leave the field
clear for the budding genius of ’27.
The old members held their first
meeting for the year on Friday, Oc-
tober 12. They attended five-strong;
and Mrs, Dieckmann, Folio’s Official
Guardian, was right on the spot.
Following the reading of the stories,
light refreshments were served and
plans for the year were excitedly dis-
cussed.
It might be well to mention that
not only are Freshmen invited to try-
out. If they are successful they
will be received with open arms—and
they will be quite thoroughly ushered
into the mysteries of Folio!

The following Agnes Scotters at-
tended Camp Nakanawa, Maryland,
Tenn., during the past summer:
Misses Margaret Rowe, 719, Mary
Kate Parks, '19, Anne Houston, ’20,
and Llewellyn Wilburn, 719.

On the last night at camp, at a
banquet, Miss Wilburn, who had
charge of land sports, was presented
by the campers with a loving cup,
inscribed, “To the Ideal Counselor of
Nakanawa from the Campers of ’23.”
This was the first time a cup had been
presented to a counselor. Miss Wil-
burn is to teach gym in the Univer-
sity of Michigan.

Y. W. C. A. NEWS

The Y. W. C. A. had one of the
most interesting and inspiring pro-
grams of the year on Sunday, October
14, when Mr. Hoffman, Secretary of
the European Student Relief spoke on
“Student Relief” in the stricken coun-
tries. Mr. Hoffman has just returned
from Europe, where for three years
he has had!charge of distributing
money to the suffering students.

And how they are suffering. Those
of us who have lived sheltered lives
eannot realize what it means for thir-
ty-one thousand students to live on
one scant meal a day. We don’t know
anything about a poverty line so we
ean’t realize what it means for the
professors’ salaries to be so small
that they have to live below the pov-
erty line; if we realized these things
we would jump at the chance given us
to help these young people, who per-
haps have our same aspirations and
ideals to get on their feet.

Last week something was said of
Frances Gilliland’s plans for the Stu-
dent Industrial Commission. These
plans bid fair to be the most suc-
cessful ever followed, for they lay
open the way for students and in-
dustrial girls to really know each
other.

Every week a group of the girls |

from here are to go in to a church
home for working girls and visit on
club night. We hope to work out a
number of programs with the girls
and become real friends.

Those to serve on this committee
are: Frances Gilliland, Emmy Ficklen,
Ruth Johnson, Gertrude Green, Mar-
tha Lynn Manley, Mary Ella Ham-
mond, Elsa Jacobsen, Eleanor Al-
bright and Eugenia Thompson.

THE

OPENING GAME OF HOCKEY
PLAYED FRIDAY.

The season has started! Last Fri-
day afternoon, when Miss Randolph
blew her referee’s whistle, the upper-
elassmen covered the field, each play-
er wielding a “vicious mutton chop.”
The Seniors scored first, then the
Juniors alternately. By the end of|
the first half, the score stood 2 and 0.
The second half started off with a
boom. Again the Seniors were suc-
cessful in making the first goal. How-
ever, their opponents came back and
tied the score, which now stood 3-3.
Both sides then eagerly sought a cov-
eted goal. Fate seemed to have de-

so, according to the alternating
scheme, the Seniors again scored.
However, the whistle for “Time Out”
blew, before the Juniors could put into
practice the theory that was mention-

Many Freshmen filled the side lines
and added much zest to the game by
their yelling. Carp’s voice could be
heard, however, rooting for the Sen-

The Watchtower.

THE WATCHTOWER is a brand
new publication of Wesleyan College,
and promises to be great among col-
lege weeklies. Faculty and students
alike are giving it enthusiastic sup-
port. Dr. Quillian has aptly express-
ed the value of the paper. He says:
“Tt will give experience to classes in
journalism, will be a splendid news
medium for carrying information to
friends and patrons of the college,
and will generate enthusiasm among
the Alumnae, citizens of Macon, and
friends of the college throughout the
country.” Yea, and much more.

THE WATCHTOWER has our very
best wishes for many, many happy
and prosperous birthdays.

The Emory Wheel.

Emory is growing fast. Her enroll-
ment this year is expected to exceed
two thousand. The number enrolled
for the Liberal Arts School alone to-
tals over three hundred already.
There are more foreign students than
ever before, besides men from fifteen

| states of the Union.

Everyone remembers the huge suc-
cess the Emory Glee Club scored last
|year, and is eagerly anticipating a
|splendid club for 1923-24. According
to the WHEEL there is far more
than enough material this year; so
|much so, that “the men are going to
have to work mighty hard to make or

shin guards sufficient for four teams.
However, not feeling at present fi-
nancially able to furnish these gratis,
each girl who desires shin guards is
asked to pay the sum of fifteen cents
for the usage of them for the season.
It is hoped, (by the hockey players,
|at least), that the order is marked,
“RUSH.”

The officers of the Association for
this year are:

President—Nancy Evans.

V-Pres.—Lillian McAlpine.

Secretary—Emily Spivey.

has been doing splendid work, and

In 1923 the total number of stu-
dents was nine hundred and thirty-
eight; while the enrollment for the
session 1923-24, totals one thousand

Clemson will try to get increased ap-

“How doth the busy bee, improve
each shining hour” is typical of the
ceaseless activity of the day students.
You have all doubtless heard of the
plans for their rummage sale. Well,
now the sale is not an event of the
future but is now almost a historical
fact, for on Saturday, October the
sixth, the rummage sale was held.
And how much do you think they
made? Under the able leadership of
Vivian Little, twenty-two dollars were
raised. The money has gone into
blankets for the day students’ room
in Gaines Cottage.

Day students are still shining in
various other ways. Ruth Rogers
went to the Pi Alpha Phi tryouts, de-
bated, was admitted into the society,
and will soon be initiated into that
august and awe inspiring assemblage.
Congratulations! and we thank you
for holding up the reputation of the
d.s. and for following in the foot-
steps of Daisy Frances and Olive
Hall.

The mystery deepens! and the oc-
cupants of the day students’ room in
Main are wondering “Whence came
the Black Cat?” It is a conspicuous
fact that everyone walks around the
cat. No, we are not superstitious.
Most likely a Soph put it there as a
reminder of the recent victory.

@| GIDDIE

Dear Giddie:

There are as many thrills in the
life of Agnes Scott as Wesley Barry
has freckles! Everybody on the
campus seemed to be happy last week.
Maybe it was because football had
begun, or maybe it was for some
other reason. You never can tell.

Why, Frances McColgan was like
another person all week. She pack-
ed up her lessons and her troubles in
her old kit bag and didn’t do a thing
but get telephone calls and have
dates. Well, you’ve heard it said that
a girl always falls for the man with
a uniform on. And since V. M. I.
played Tech I think you can figure it
all out.

By the way I write you would think
that A. S. girls couldn’t get along
without boys. But that isn’t the case
at all. We are perfectly capable of
having a gay time without a boy any-
where around. One of the most ex-
citing tennis games that Agnes Scott
has witnessed in years is to be played
this week and it will be strictly a
“hen” affair. “Hop” Owens and Ed
Carter can’t hold a candle to M.
Greene, V. Howie, D. Keith, and E.
Griffin.

I could rave on all day about the
tournament, but I just must tell you
about S. Gordon. I went to her room
the other day to study Greek, and
what do you think she had? About
ten pounds of candy, a huge cake, a
gold pencil and pen, and then some
more. She said her relations had sent

They really are the kindest rela-

Well, I couldn’t think of writing 2
letter without mentioning at least
one of those who has resigned from
“The Select Society of Sophisticated
Long-haired Girls.” Yes, Edith Rich-
ards and Frances Lipscomb departed
from the straight and narrow path
last week. Edith is always saying
that she is a man hater, but it won’t
be long before she is a full fledged
flapper.

And speaking of bobbed hair—do
you remember how we used to all
have a permanent wave? Well, the
style down here seems to be a straight
bob and all those who have perma-
nents just wet their hair all the time
to take the curl out. I’m really afraid
some of them are going to mildew
their brains. And Dr. Salyer will
think mine has been mildewed if I
don’t start on my book report!

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1923

No.

Dr. W. E. Dodd And Frank Swinnerton Sociology Department Three Blackfriar Plays, Presented
Saturday Night, Much

To Give Lectures At

Agnes

Famous Historian And
Author Are To Come
Here Soon Under Auspices
Of Lecture Association

The Agnes Scott Lecture Associa-
tion wishes to introduce to the stu-
dents the first two prospective lect-
urers of the season of 1923-1924: Dr.
William E. Dodd, Professor of Ameri-
can History at the University of Chi-
¢ago, and Mr. Frank Swinnerton, cele-
brated English novelist, literary critic
and lecturer.

Dr. Dodd is scheduled to deliver a
series of three lectures on “Liberty
and Authority”, in the auditorium of
Emory University, November 7, 8 and
9. He has been requested to speak at
Agnes Scott on November 6, the night
previous to his first engagement at
Emory.

Dr. Dodd is, by birth, a North Caro-
linian, and was educated in Virginia.
He is the author of “A Life of Jeffer-
son Davis”, “Statesmen of the Old
South”, “The Cotton Kingdom”,
“Woodrow Wilson and His Work”, and
other historical books. Emory Uni-
versity has conferred upon him the
honorary degree of LL.D. It is in-
teresting to note that the speaker
was the first lecturer presented by
the Agnes Scott Lecture Association
at its beginning, four years ago.

Mr. Frank Swinnerton is expected
to lecture here later on in the season.
‘He is “one of the ablest of the younger
English novelists,” and is well known
to all edueated and thinking people

# both in England and in America, Mr

Swinnerton’s fame was first assured
by the enthusiastic acceptance of
“Nocturne”, the marvelous story of a
single night in the lives of two girls.
This book shows “a peculiar quality
of sympathetic interpretation—a flash
of absolute genius, as it were.” His
latest, longest and most ambitious
novel is “Young Felix.” Others of his
stories are “Coquette”, “The Three
Lovers”, and “Shops and Houses.”

Mr. Swinnerton is the expert liter-
ary advisor of the publishing firm of
Chatto and Windus, London. As a
literary critic he is of very high stand-
ing, being a contributor to the Man-
chester Guardian, the most famous
newspaper of Europe. His critical
works are two, one on George Gissing,
author of “New Grub Street,” and the
other on Robert Louis Stevenson.

As a speaker he has unusual charm,
due to his own personality, his vast
knowledge of tendencies in modern
literature, both English and Ameri-
can, and his wealth of anecdotes of
well-known authors, coupled with a

Senior Caps And Gowns

“You can tell the Seniors by their
caps and gowns,

You can tell the Freshmen by the
way they run around,

You can tell a Junior by her worried

looks and such,

You can tell a Soph but you can not
tell her much.”

Attention Freshmen! All you who
have been making the unpardonable
error of taking “high and mighty”
Seniors on our campus for Sophs or
Juniors will soon be saved from all
further embarrassment. The Senior
caps and gowns have been ordered and
will be here before long.

The wearing of the cap and gown is
a very old custom, and is supposed to
symbolize knowledge. So is it any
wonder that the Seniors will be so
very, very proud of them?

Of course the ordering of the caps
and gowns brings on more talk, all
about investiture and things that have
a very mysterious sound—but that is
a topic for future scribes so I shall
leave it to them to unrayel the mys-
tery concerning it!

Student “Cyaneil of
Y. W.C. A. Meets Here

Representatives of Ten

Colleges In This

District Present,

From October twelfth to the four-
teenth inclusive, there was held in
Atlanta one of the most important
annual meetings of the Y. W. C. A.
At this time the Students’ Council
of the Southern Division of the Y. W.
C. A. met to discuss plans for the
year’s work of the Southern Student
Associations, to arrange for the sum-
mer conferences, talk over the sched-
ules for the secretaries’ round of visits
and discuss inter-racial and industrial
committee work. There are only six
of these divisions in the National Y.
W. C. A. and the saembers of the
Students’ Council fo* the Southern
division are elected by a meeting of
all the Southern Undergraduate Rep-
resentatives at Blue Ridge Summer
Conference. To be a member of this
Students’ Council is taus to hold one
of the controlling offices in the Y. W.
C. A., for at these meetings, although
there are Y, W. C. A. secretaries
present and a faeulty member, the
students, directed by a chairman of
their own election, manage the major
part of the work an: transact most
of the business, anc the decisions
reached here will de ‘ide the career
of the Southern Y. W.C. A. for the

Pi Alpha Phi Holds
Interesting Debate On

Question of World Court

Hyatt And Burt Uphold
Affirmative And Amis And
Thompson The Negative;
Affirmative Wins

Pi Alpha Phi, the debating society
of Agnes Scott, gave a very inter-

esting debate Thursday night, OQc-
| tober eighteenth.

The subject for discussion was,
Resolved: that the United States

should enter the world court, as pro-
posed by President Harding,

The affirmative was upheld by
Margaret Hyatt and Virginia Burt;
the negative by Frances Amis and

Eugenia Thompson. Many interest-
ing points and strong arguments were

brought out by both sides. The decis-
ion was in favor of the affirmative.

The debate was doubly interesting
because the question is one that is
being considered as the subject for
the inter-collegiate debate between
Agnes Scott, Randolph Macon and
Sophie Newcomb. Pi Alpha Phi is an
organization that gives not only spe-
cial training in debating but ‘also af-
fords interest and pleasure to the
students and friends of Agnes Scott.
Beside the course in debating, given
to the members, it gives interesting
debates, and in the spring joins in a
triangular debate with Randolph Ma-
con College of Virginia and Sophie
Neweombe College of Louisiana.

Labor Conditions Among
Women Workers Shown

A most instructive and interesting
moving picture of the right and wrong
conditions among working girls and
of the effect of such conditions upon
the girls, was presented by the Sociolo-
gy Department of Agnes Scott College,
in the college chapel on Thursday, Oc-
tober 18. This film has been issued
by the United States Department of
Labor for the purpose of “broadcasting
information concerning the present
deplorable conditions of women em-
ployees, and thereby stimulating effort
to bring about the ideal conditions as
advocated by the Woman’s Bureau;
that is, an eight-hour day, half-holi-
day on Saturday, proper lighting con-
trivances, wages based on labor, not
sex, etc.” The picture, together with
advertising matter and additional in-
formation, is sent to any college or or-
ganization desiring it, for the pay-
ment of express. It has just come from
the Arkansas State Fair, and from
Agnes Scott will be taken to the At-
lenta Y. W..C. A.

The advertising material is un-
usually attractive. There is one semi-
circular platform covered with dark
blue cloth, and on either side of it a
straight, narrow platform. The semi-
circular support bears miniature fig-
ures representing real and ideal con-
ditions of working women. Behind
this, a life-size young man and young
woman, made of cardboard, together
hold up a miniature nation. The

Bacon Bat At
Stone Mountain

Sunday School Classes
Enjoy Picnic

Saturday is always a day of days
to students at Agnes Scott. All be-
cause of a Saturday afternoon. And
the past Saturday, October 13, was
no exception to a certain group.

For Marjory Speake and Frances
Lincoln took their Sunday School
classes out to Stone Mountain to
cook supper. This jolly bunch, with
Mrs. Syderstricker for chaperon, left
for Stone Mountain on the four-thirty
ear. These cars are as different from
the Decatur street car lines as a Pull-
man from a day coach. So the journ-
ey out was very agreeable.

The crowd then joyfully, although
with many groans and sighs, climbed
this far-famed mountain of stone.
Unfortunately they reached the top
too late to see a sunset—(although
they couldn’t have seen it had they
been on time, for it was very misty.)
The climb, or rather slide, down the
mountain was much more exciting
than the one up. It ended with a
grand bon-fire by the spring at the
foot of the hill. Everyone enjoyed

!roasting weiners and frying bacon.

Plenty of good Decatur rolls were
at hand. Hot potato chips and toasted
marshmallows ended up the feast.
This pervading spirit of joy caused an
exultation of song. There was a lot
of that good “old-fashioned p-e-p!”
in it all.

This tired, but happy bunch came
back wondering why there couldn’t be
a Sunday School Bacon Bat every
Saturday on Stone Mountain. Those
who thought this were: Margaret
Ruby Hall, Lilly Pearl Mce-
Elwaney, Willie White Smith, Frances
Rainey, Virginia Carson, Audry Pea-
cock, Naomi Shaw, Ruth McDonald,
Catherine Graeber and Catherine
Pitmann.

A Calendar Of

Events For November
Hoasc Stunts, Alabama
Glee Club, Alumnae
Play Scheduled

November promises to be a month
filled with a great variety of events
on our campus. The Cotillion Club will
give a dance to the college community
in the gym on November 10. This oc-
casion is always greatly enjoyed, not
only by the members of the club, but
by the general student body.

Hoase has reserved the night of
November 17 for its annual group of
stunts. These will be representative
of the various activities on the cam-
pus, showing the work and purpose
of each.

The Alabama Glee Club will, in all
probability, come on November 20,
but there has, as yet, been made no
definite arrangement.

The Alumnae, it is rumored, have
asked for one date during the month
and will present a play at that time.
The Alumnae plays are always very
entertaining and the whole college
campus is looking forward with great
pleasure to whatever they may de-
cide to give.

But November holds still another
attraction—the visit of Dr. Campbell
Morgan from November 18-23. All of
the old girls remember with great
pleasure the few days he spent with
us lastspeare te ede (thn naw girls
have heard so much About him that
even they are eagerly awaiting his ar-
rival.

Then last but not least, Thanksgiv-
ing Day is coming, bringing with it
our first holiday. So November will
be a busy and happy month.

First Issue of ‘‘Aurora’”’
Appears First

Week of November

Stories, Poems, Essays
By Students Will Make
Magazine Attractive To
All At Agnes Scott

In Virgil we often read passages to
this effect—and then Aurora, the rosy
goddess of the dawn, came up out of
the east to announce the approach of
the coming dawn. In the book of our
college year, we can boast of only four
such passages. Our “Aurora,” the
rosy (figuratively speaking) goddess
of the dawn of local literary talent,
appears on our tables to announce the
approach of the coming day of Amer-
ican genius.

The editors and contributors are
not planning to let “Aurora” stop
on the horizon to do her proclaiming,
but are going to send her up into the
sky of worth. From that height, she
will read to us, mere mortals, the
secret opinions of the critics on the
latest books, bits of philosophy,
clothed in essay, and the flights of
poetic imagination and fancy in the
forms of story and song. In the com-
ing day of the future, we may proudly
produce a copy of the 1923 “Aurora”
to re-read the early works of the
leading American writers and poets.

Janice Brown, the editor, has al-
ready sent the material to press and
is expecting the magazine to be ready
for distribution to the students dur-
ing the first week of November.

Among the contributors for this
first issue are: Elizabeth Cheatham,
Ellen Walker, Polly Stone, Olive Hall,
Mary Greene and Miss Margaret
Bland.

“Lima Beans,” “The
Recompense,”’ And “Twelve
Good Men And True” Are
Played Before Large Audience

Three one-act plays were presented
by Blackfriars on Saturday night, Oct-
ober 20, “The Recompense”, “Lima
Beans”, and “Twelve Good Men and
True.” All of these comedies were
acted by clever performers, and an
evening of fun and mirth was enjoyed
by all.

“The Recompense” is the story of
a girl who, because her spinster aunt
was disappointed in love, was so kept
in seclusion that she was unable to
love, or be loved, by mankind. With-
out her aunt’s knowledge, she slips
away one night to a ball and there
discovers her “Prince Charming.” <A
series of difficult situations follow
which are finally untangled to the sat-
isfaction of all. An unusually good
cast includes:

The Girl—Mary Freeman.

Her Aunt—Carolyn Smith.

Mammy—Eugenia Thompson.

Prince Charming—Victoria Howie.

The next play, “Lima Beans”, is a
clever faree, All those who intend to
become housewives were especially
urged to see the comedy. The cast
was as follows:

The Wife—Rosamond Neisler.

The Husband—Mary Ann McKin-
ney.

The Huckster—Georgia Mae Little.

The last of the series was entitled,
“Twelve Good Men and Trne.” This
illustrates to perfection woman's ina-
bility in the political realm—especially
in the jury box. The cast of charac-
ters was:

No. 1, Real
coln,

No. 2, Milliner—Margaret Powell.
. 3, Manicurist—Isabel Clark.

. 4, Club Woman—Ellen Walker.
. 5, School Teacher—Helena Her-
mance.

No. 6, Secretary of Woman’s Party
—Weenona Peck.

No. 7, Bride of Six Weeks—Jose-
phine Schuessler.

No. 8, Housewife (mother of nine)
Margaret MeDow.

No. 9, Housewife—Nan Lingle. ;
Nos. 10 and 11, Spinster Twins—
Elizabeth Griffin and Elizabeth Cheat-

ham.

No. 12, Prima Donna—Frances Gil-
liland.

The characters had practiced faith-
fully in order to present these plays
on Saturday night, and a large and
appreciative audience greeted them
and secured fo rthemselves an evening
of genuine fun and wholesome enter-
tainment.

Freshman Elections

On Monday night, October 15, the
Freshman class assembled after chapel
amidst a great deal of excitement and
elected Nancy Lou Knight as their
president. Much talking and specula-
tion were in evidence. Goodness,
don’t misunderstand me! It was not
speculation of a monetary nature, but
as to who was going to be president,
for that official was to be elected.

Evelyn Powell, who has so ably
filled the office of chairman for the

Freshman class, presided over the
meeting. Several nominations were

in order and after the noise of battle
cleared away Nancy Lou Knight was
found to be elected. She made a grace-
ful little talk, thanking the class for
the honor bestowed upon her. And
under her guidance, we know that the
Freshman class will be a winner.

TiS. Sale at ee Circulation Manager

The following article, taken from “The New Student” of Oc:
tober 20, and signed “L. P.”, we consider worthy of attention:

“Something is fundamentally wrong with American Colleges.
When students emerge from them in a state of wide-eyed bewilder-
ment and, when faced with even the most every day realities have
no idea what it is all about and no equipment for forming their
own conceptions or judgments, either these students are dolts or
something has happened to stupify them.

“When young people will sit for four years and passively accept
whatever ideas are handed out to them without questioning wheth-
er or not it is true or whether or not they want it, and then will
snatch their diplomas with sighs of relief and prepare to settle
back for the remainder of their lives in an established world it looks
as though they had acquired an unsound idea or two during this
“training,” for they are refusing to utilize that intellectual alert-
ness which society expects from them.

“Tt is easy to blame all of this upon the faculty, the trustees
or someone else. But until American students become more con-
scious of what they are doing and why things are so, such blame
is mere laziness. Students do not have to conform to worn out
systems, but as long as they sit docilely by and politely listen to
what is being said by teachers who are products of the same ma-
chine, these teachers have a good excuse for treating them like
the vacuums they are. ee

“Our ery now is for Academic freedom. But academic free-
dom which would ‘free’ some of our present student bodies would
be rather awful. They either have nothing to sav or are shrieking
‘radical’ sounding words which some one else has passed on to
them.

“Our present system has produced some mentally stagnant
people. It has also stirred up afew sentimental radicals who, splut-
tering about revolt, lose sight of the purpose of any education.

“Tf our colleges can not be influential in the development of
keen, living people, sincere and honest in the search for what is
true, mentally and physically well balanced, and with ‘wide
thoughts and much feeling for the rest of the world as well as

themselves’ they must give place to something which can.”

Y. W. C. A. BUDGET SUBSCRIBED.

Large Amcunt Is Pledged to Organi-
zation.

Last week the Y. W. C. A. pre-
sented its budget plan to the stu-
dents; and, after having asked for
pledges, the organization found that
$1,844 had been subseribed by the
students and faculty of Agnes Scott.
The Y. W. C. A. was very gratified
to receive this amount as only $1,-
800 had been asked for and as all
pledges have not yet been made.

This money will be used to meet
the current expenses of the Y. W.
C. A., to help support an Agnes Scott
girl as a missionary in Korea, to
establish a loan fund to give financial
aid to an Agnes Scott student, to aid
the Nacoochee School, to send dele-
gates to conventions in New York
and Indianapolis, and for many oth-
er worthy purposes.

Told.

The Senior Class entertained the
college community at a delightful
Hallowe’en party on Saturday night,
October 27, The scene was the spooky
fourth floor of Inman. This was ap-
propriately decorated in the color of
the time-honored pumpkin. Weird
lights hung from the ceiling and cast
a ghostly glow over the room. White
sheets concealed the figures of the
well-known seniors, but the guests
imagined that supernatural powers
were abroad.

The party began at 8:30 o’clock.
The guests ascended the stairs to the
fourth floor by way of the narrow
back steps. At each landing they
were greeted by ghosts who extended
terrible hands to be shaken. One
hand was cold and clammy; one was
“slippery,” one was prickly. Premon-
itory chills began creeping up the
spines of the visitors even before
they entered the portals of fourth
floor.

There pandemonium was exempli-
fied. Everybody was rushing to get
her fortune told by the wizards whom
the senior class had secured for the
night. These strange creatures, in
the normal light of day known as
Dell Bernhardt, Frances McColgan,
and Virginia Baird, foretold such im-
portant events as the various mar-
tiages which each guest would con-
tract; the journeys to be made, the

found it out, but just take my word,
‘cause a reliable little bird told this
to me and I know he can’t be mis-
taken. So here goes! There were
thirty dates at A. S. Saturday night
and twenty of them belonged to fresh-
men. Now don’t you consider those
statistics alarming? Would that we
could find the fountain of youth and
be popular once again (?)!

Carolyn Smith says she isn’t at all
worried about the state of affairs.
Well, no wonder! If I had a date
every night like she does and was
wearing a Delta Tau Delta pin, I
don’t guess I would be disturbed eith-
er.

About the most popular person on
the campus now is Frances MeColgan.
The girls found out that she could
read palms so she has been getting
the rush of the season. Mellie Zellars
says Frances makes lots of mistakes, |
but K. Mitchell says that isn’t so.|
You see, Mellie was told that she
wasn’t at all fickle, and K. was in-
formed that she had lots of boys on
the string. Oh, yes! And Frances
Gilliland is going to be famous.

Have you ever heard me speak of
Grace Carr? Well, she has the best
time of any girl on the campus, I do
believe. A crowd of us were coming
back from the fair the other night,
and who should we meet but Grace
and her date. She was spending the
week end out and they had been to
a show. Some people are just born
lucky!

Oh, yes! I mustn’t forget to tell
you about P. Roby. She gets a
“special” every day. I asked her if
her mother sent it to her and she
said ‘no,” Just imagine anybody

outside of your family caring enough).

about you to send you a special every
day.

There are so many lucky girls that
I hardly know which ones to tell}
about. But what makes me more
jealous of a girl than anything else
is to see her with her father. M.
Powell’s father was here last week.
Then, too, G. Henry’s mother came}
to see her.

Well, I must go to Blackfriar prac-|

personal characteristics of each per-
son, the number of divorces and love}
affairs which would lend excitement
to common, everyday life. It was
quite thrilling to most of those pres-
ent to find that they would have at
least six husbands, four dozen pro-
posals, and five or six journeys to
Europe,

Several other important features
of the entertainment were diverting.
One side of the attic was swept clean
of cobwebs, and apples were sus-
pended from the ceiling. Frantic girls,
failing to get a good, juicy bite, tried |
to swallow the apples whole. The)
“Feast of Spooks” was well attended |
but not much enjoyed.

Refreshments were served through-|
out the evening. Apples, ginger
cakes, and stick candy proved an ap-|
propriate material background for the
phantom party. Attractive hallowe’en
favors were given to all who were!
present.

At 10 o’clock the guests returned to
their places of abode with a comfort-
able sense of having been well
scared, and well entertained.

Much of the success of the senior
party is due to the work of Miss Mar-

garet Powell, the senior class presi-||

dent.

gratulated upon the splendid program
which its Junior Music Study Club
is offering this year.

Senator Thomas B. Heflin, an alum-
nus of Birmingham-Southern, address-
ed the student body last week. He
emphasized “the importance of the
age in which we are living and the
leading role that the college man will
have to play in life.”

The Davidsonian.

The Debating Council of Davidson
has arranged to meet teams of Wash-
ington and Lee, and Trinity. There
will be another big debate, probably
with Mercer or Carolina.

The Council is planning to put a
Freshman intercollegiate team in the
field for one meet with another
Freshman team.

There is an interesting editorial in
THE DAVIDSONIAN concerning the
refusal of Washington and Lee Uni-
versity to participate in the regular
scheduled game with Washington and
Jefferson, because the latter insisted
upon playing a negro in the varsity
line-up. Washington and Lee has
won the admiration of every Southern-
er for taking this stand, even though
by ruling of the referee, it cost them
a forfeiture. Washington and Jeffer-
son is to be commended for their
spirit in declining to accept the Vir-
ginia School’s forfeiture. They pre-
fer to have the game entered on the
pages of football history as a can-
celled contest.

What's In a Name?

We notice that the RED AND
BLACK has twice called us “AG-
| NOSTIC.” In grief we exclaim with
jthe old negro mammy, “Dar now! Dey
done ruint us name!”

We confess that at first we had
only a rather hazy idea as to what
we were being called, but on looking
the word up in the infallible Mr.
Webster’s dictionary, we found that
it means, “Expressing ignorance.”
We acknowledge that we can not com-

pare in wisdom with the French pub-
lication JE SAIS TOUT, but one
thing we do know—our name is AG-
ONISTIC.

We welcome all exchanges.

Randolph-Macon.

At the same time that the Students’
Council for the Southern Division in
the Y. W. C. A. was meeting at the
Atlanta headquarters, the Students’
Council for the same division in the
Y. M. C. A. was being held at Emory.
The two councils were thus able to
hold a joint meeting during the days
of the conference.

We, of Agnes Scott, are exceedingly
glad that: Atlanta is the Southern
Headquarters for the Y. W. C. A. and
that Agnes Scott is in Atlanta. It is
in this way that we can have the pleas-
ure of meeting and entertaining the
delegates from the various Southern
colleges every year. And we wish
them all sorts of success in their work.

Those who as student members of
the Students’ Southern Divisional
Council, elected by all the colleges, met
in the recent conference were: Cath-
erine Alston, Randolph-Macon, Chair-
man; Jennie Milton of Peabody; Jose-
phine Morris, University of Tennessee;
Emma McAllister, Spellman Institute;
Mary Wilson, Wesleyan College;
Douglas Davenport, Mississippi State
College for Women; Helen Myers,
Davenport College; Zana Novin, Ath-
ens College; De Arona McCrory, Tal-
ladega Institute; and Victoria Howie,

The Y. W. C. A. Secretaries present
were: Miss Katharine Lumpkin, Miss
Bryson, Miss Fleming and Miss Seur-

OVERWHELMING HOCKEY
VICTORY

FOR JUNIORS AND SOPHS OVER
THEIR SISTER CLASSES.

The Freshmen played their first
hockey game October 13th. Although
their opposing team, the Juniors, had
had two years’ more experience than
they, the Freshmen proved not to be
as green about the gentle art of hockey
playing as they had a right to be. In
this opening game the Freshman team
showed throughout that they honored
the game they were playing. As every
true sportsman knows, the team that
plays the game straight and hard wins
even when it loses. The spectators
consisted mainly of Freshmen, every-

one of them showing much class spirit
by means of yells, cheers, and true
support for her team. Therefore, be
it resolved: (1) That the Freshmen
are not as green as the chlorophyl in
the renowned leaves of Biology I. (2)
That the Freshmen have quality as
well as quantity.

Belle Walker (who was once a
Freshman, by the way) shot five of
the Junior goals, E. Walker shot one,
Jo Scheussler shot one, and E. Thomp-
son shot one.

The Sophomores defeated the Sen-
iors after a stiff fight. There was not
much scoring in this game; but, the
two goals of the Sophs were shot
by the same “Carp.”

Total Scores: Juniors, 8; Freshmen,
0; Sophs, 2; Seniors, 0.

Referee: Miss Randolph.

WHAT ABOUT WEEK-ENDS?

How would you like to leave the
campus some Saturday afternoon to
go to a camp over the week-end? Of
course, it would be ideal for about
twenty congenial girls and a_ still
more congenial chaperon to go to
“OUR” hut, and during their so-
journ there, to roast hot-dogs (May
Dr. Sweet pardon us), enjoy beauti-
ful scenery, take pictures, divert
themselves in general, and to—sh—go
swimming in a really vast expanse of
water! To use the words of Jack
Evans since her review of the “Cling-
ing Vine,” wouldn’t it be wonderful?
This plan launched by the Athletic
Association, sounds like a dream to
us. How does it sound to you?

What great men think of Swinner-

Ada Ward, celebrated English lect-

that can be conferred on a literary

it would seem that this alone would

The Y. W. C. A. sends five hundred
dollars to the support of a missionary

the privilege this year of sending
delegates to the National Y. W. C. A.

DAY STUDENT

Do you all remember those ancient
days when you read “This Is the
House that Jack Built”? Change that
to “Just watch what the day students
are still doing”, and you will have an
up-to-date and true fairy story. Last
week al] the paper that these who are
not “red-headed step-children” (as Dr.
McCain emphasized in chapel the oth-
er day) was sold and the lucky
amount of $13.31 was made. Not con-
tent with having a room in Gaines
Cotttage, the day students are going
one step further, and with this money
are planning to enclose the porch ad-
joining that room into a sleeping
porch. Very soon these lights of day
will be shining on the campus at
night, too.

Speaking of society! We have some
most attractive belles among the day
students from Atlanta. Sponsored by
K. U. B., the Sunday society section
of one of Atlanta’s best known papers
will have pictures of five of Agnes
Scott’s beautiful and clever girls who
are from Atlanta. Two of these five
come from our ranks, and, needless
to say, we are all more than proud of
Frances Cooper and Elizabeth Cheat-
ham. We can think of no ones we
would rather have as our represent-
atives than these two girls.

The day students had a jolly hike
out to Ingleside on Friday, October
12. Frances Alston was in charge—
and did they have a good time?
Rather! Judging by the glowing ac-
counts of this first hike of the year,
it gives promise of many most enjoy-
able walks. “Tramp, tramp, tramp”,
the day students are marching, so on
the Fridays when hikes are scheduled
come out and join them. Come, walk,

The editors of the annual tried to
select types of girls which would be

the girl whose picture the students
would like to see in the annual is that
one who holds the love and respect
of her classmates.

The election was one in which every |
girl had a chance to vote. Polly Stone,

| Poetry Club Is Entertained
By Stone And Brown

Autumn Will Furnish
Inspiration For Poems
At Next Meeting

The Poetry Club had a delightful
meeting on Tuesday night, October
28rd. Polly Stone and Janice Brown,
who acted as hostesses, entertained
in the very lovely and widely re-
nowned sitting room on second floor
Inman.

The budding poets read poems of
all kinds and description, from the
most ethereal creations to school-girl
and nursery rhymes. “The Dogwood
and the April Breeze,” written by
Ellen Walker, was particularly pleas-
ing. Although composed in the dying
time of the year, this. poem breathed
the very spirit of spring.

Miss Laney ‘was surprised that so
beautiful a season as the present
should have called forth so few poems
(indeed, there was only one Fall one
read), and she suggested that all the
members try to bring an autumn poem
‘to the next meeting. The suggestion
{was unanimously accepted; so, be-
hold the devotees of the poetry club,
for the next two weeks, gazing rapt-
ly at flaming maple trees and “Octo-
ber’s bright blue skies.”

The next meeting of the poetry
¢lub will be held on Tuesday night.

The poetry club is doing splendid
work this year, and its members are
to be congratulated. Many of the
‘selections in this month’s “Aurora”
were first read in the poetry club,
and these show that the poetry club
is an organization of which Agnes
Scott can justly be proud.

The poetry club is arranging a num-
ber of very interesting meetings for
this year, and it is hoped that those
students who love poetry and who
write poetry themselves will become

members of the club. No tryouts are
7 held, but anyone who wishes to be-
‘come a member is invited to do’ so.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1923

First Issue Of ‘‘Aurora’”’

Is Delivered To
Students

Tribute To Dr. Armistead
Is Fitting

Ever since college opened the Fresh-
men have been listening to eulogies
on the subject of the Aurora. They
have heard how good it has always
been and how good it would be: this
year, but they have just discovered
what it really is like.

The Aurora came out Wednesday,
October 31st. One of its interesting
features was that al] the stories were
written by the new B. O. Z. mem-
bers. In fact, these stories were their
try-outs for membership in that club.
Several poems written by members of
English XVIII, the class in poetry
composition, appeared in this number,
and there is a one-act play written
by Mary Greene which has attracted
much favorable comment. All the con-
tributions are exceptionally well

| written and very interesting.

The picture of Dr. Armistead has
made this issue of the Aurora very
dear to the old students and the facul-
ty. It was Dr. Armistead who found-
ed B. O. Z, and who gave it its high
literary standards. The club held its
meetings at East Liwn and he was
considered the patron saint of the or-
ganization. It is very fitting that the
first issue of the Aurora since his
death should carry the picture of the
professor who contributed so largely
to the development of an interest on
the campus in litersov creation.

Folio, Literary Club
For Freshmen, Elects

New Members

Folio tryouts were held last week
and six new members were elected.
These were: Susan Clayton, Dorothy
Chamberlain, Miriam Preston, Mary
Shive, Mitchell Moore, and Louise
Capen.

These new members are receiving
the congratulations of their friends
on being chosen as members of this
club.

Folio is a literary club, whose mem-
bers are Freshmen and Sophomores.
The purpose is to create an interest
in the short story as a literary form
and to encourage the writing of short
stories among the underclassmen.
Membership in Folio is a great honor
to a Freshman, for it shows that her
work along literary lines is of excel-
lent quality.

The club is sponsored by Mrs.
Dieckmann. She was also the origi-
nator of the idea of Folio and has
been the chief inspiration of the mem-
bers since the club was begun.

Tryouts were in the form of short
stories and the new members were
elected by vote of the members.

On Saturday of last week, a group |

and learn something of her system of
education.

The girls who were accompanied by
Miss Printup, a member of the Girls’

college by various resident students.

At noon a delicious lunch was serv-
ed to our visitors in the Inman and

The college community would in-

Ouehicatiane Now
Write Letters On
New Stationery

Many letters are being written on
the campus these days, for the va-
rious organizations have acquired a
plentiful supply of new stationery.

The “Agonistic” stationery is of
very business-like appearance, or at
least, the staff hopes that it is. The
center of the page, at the top, bears
the name of the publication in old
English letters and grouped on either
side of this are the names of the
members of the staff. The printing
is done in black ink on white paper.
The “Agonistic” is also the proud pos-
sessor of new assignment slips.

The “Aurora” stationery is much
like the “Agonistie’s” but the print-
ing is done in dark blue ink and the
whole staff is not represented in the
letter-head. The “Silhouette” has new
stationery also, the gift of Foote and
Davies, who are printing the annual
this year. The Athletic Association
chose purple ink for they wished to
have the college colors on their pa-
per.

Raisa’s debut was made at the The-

“Oberto.’ Her success in this des-

that she is the greatest opera singer
of the day.

Madame Raisa was heard Tuesday

and a group of modern songs which
delighted évery one.

The next artist who will appear on

the world’s greatest pianist. He will
be in Atlanta on the night before

THE STUDENT AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES.

So much has been written recently on the subject of the place
of student activities in the college that it is well-nigh impossible
to throw any new light on the matter. The question is, however,
one of vital interest in academic circles and one which invites
expression of opinion. The problems of inter-collegiate athletics
have assumed amazing proportions and have aroused more con-
troversy, pro and con, than perhaps any phase of student life
today. In a college for women this annoying question is happily
of practically no importance.

The activities which are of major importance in the college
for women have this advantage—that they are more or less closely
related to scholastic work and are, therefore, less open to criticism
than the athletic problem. Work on College newspapers and maga-
zines, membership in dramatic clubs, debating societies, and writ-
ers clubs, and participation in the work of the Y. W. C. A. and
like organizations, afford valuable experience and present excellent
opportunities for the development of independent thinking and
mature judgment. No one denies that work of this kind is bene-
ficial to the student. The question, in our opinion, is how much
importance should activities assume and how much of the student’s
time should she devote to “outside work” in comparison with the
time spent on the courses included in her schedule.

A familiar refrain sung by students and graduates of our col-
leges today voices the sentiment that activities in the final reck-
oning are of greater worth than regular classroom work. This
attitude is destructive of the highest ideals of education. The
courses outlined in the college curriculum are the legitimate fields
of intellectual development for the student. There it is that she
should do really constructive thinking. Courses are not taught to
be learned mechanically by unreasoning students. We learn that
we may live better and more fully. The new facts and new ideas
imparted to us should become parts of our very being. They con-
stitute the ground-work on which we are to build a superstructure
of alertness, of intellect, of tolerance of attitude, and of fair-mind-
edness of judgment. Contact with a truly great teacher is an
overwhelming advantage in the mental growth of a student; but
even if this is lacking, the student’s ideal is still an appreciation
of learning for its own sake.

Do not mistake us by thinking that we discredit the value of
student activities in developing this attitude. But we do say that
they are not the legitimate way of accomplishing the aim of edu-
cation; and they became a real danger when they prevent the
student from pursuing the normal method of training which has
been deemed best by the most careful and most experienced edu-
cators of our time. Every day, however, (we judge by our own
college) activities demand more and more of the student’s time.
She cannot hope to do her best work in the classroom and at the
same time take an active part in the opposite side of campus life.
A choice must be made; and the loss is great, whatever the de-
cision may be.

A readjustment should take place. The curriculum should be
given the place of prime importance; and, next in importance,
student activities should be encouraged. But they should not be
allowed to over-shadow or in any way to impede scholastic work,
which is the student’s first interest and which, no matter who
denies it, will bring more true happiness and more real strength
to the college graduate than participation in any student move-
ment, however worthy it may be.

Student activites, then, in our opinion, have their place in the
college; but their position is of secondary importance, insomuch
as they aid the natural development of the student they are justi-
fied; but, as soon as they hinder in any way the student’s conform-
ing to the normal method of educational training they cease to be
justified. In this latter case they become a positive evil and should
be discouraged by the college authorities whose wider experience
and more mature judgment put them in a position to understand
the attendant danger in the student’s voluntary rejection of the
best which the college has to offer.

On Thursday, October 25, a birthday

two parties. And Gaines cottage was

On account of rain, the regular

because Virginia is the home of hos-

quality if ever one did. It contained
Virginia ham, fried chicken, beaten
biscuit, cakes, candy—and everything
good to eat. This bunch enjoyed the
contents very, very much—and they
one and all wished Phyllis “Happy
birthday.”

But they were not so greedy that}
they didn’t leave some for the evening
festivity. From 9:30 to 10:00 o’clock

girls were present, the heads of all

Dinner Party In Home
Economics Hall

Has it not been said that Agnes
Seott girls are high-brow, knowing
nothing outside of the realm of books?
If so, we wish that all such scoffers
at the Higher Education of Women,
might have been present with us, at
Pochahontas Wight’s dinner party in
Home Ec. Saturday evening, October
27.

She proved effectively that Agnes
Scott girls are domestic as well as
learned in the mysteries of Latin and
Greek. Perhaps that is one reason
for our high percentage of married
graduates!

Promptly at 9 the guests arrived.
There were four tables in the corn-
ers, decorated in true Hallowe’en
fashion, with ghostly witch silhouettes,
shaded candles and dainty place-cards.

Seated at the tables, the sixteen
girls were served with a delicious sup-
per, of creamed chicken in crisp patty-
shells, hot biscuits, pickles, crackers,
olives and Virginia boiled ham, tea
with mint and oat-meal cookies.

Conversation, during the dinner,
ranged from poetry to fortune-telling, |
but all were enthusiastic in their
praise of the cook. At 10:00 lights
flashed and the party broke up with
gay good nights. Everyone carried
home the memory of a pleasant even-

Dr. Campbell Morgan
At Agnes Scott

During Week of November 18
Will Speak Daily at
College.

Dr. Campbell Morgan was welcomed
at Agnes Scott on November 18
for a week’s visit. In addition to
the series of lectures which he is to
deliver at the college, he will speak
each night at 7 o’clock in the Decatur

addresses, morning and evening, there
on Sunday.

Accompanying Dr, Morgan is his

will stay at the Piedmont hotel, and
are bringing a car in which they will
‘go back and forth between Atlanta
and Decatur.

The subjects for Dr. Morgan’s lec-
tures will not be announced, as he pre-
fers that it not be known before time.

[Miss Heinz Talks In

Leader of Campfire Girls De-
scribes Work.

Monday night at Tse we all re-
ceived a delightful surprise—especially
those of us who have been Campfire
Girls and those of us who are inter-
ested in that line of work.

Miss Heinz, one of the leaders in
the Camj{fire organization, gave a
splendid and most interesting talk on
that subject.

She emphasized the things the
Campfire organization has done in the
past and what it may accomplish in
the future with some college girls as
leaders. She laid great stress
on the part we will be ex-
pected to take and made us realize
that upon us depends the possibility
of future generations of little girls
having the privilege of being Camp-
fire Girls and deriving the benefits
and pleasures from that organization.

Through this organization, girls are
given new social standards. They learn
organization, accomplishment and
service—this latter especially in the
home and among the poor. For every-

Agnes Scott Sends Representa
tives To Northern Co'lege
Women’s Intercollegiate
Conference

Carrie Scandrett and Mary Anne
McKinney Will Be Sent As
Delegates From Student
Government.

All Agnes Scott is awaiting with
interest the conference of the North-
ern College Women’s Inter-Collegiate
Association, to be held at Oberlin Col-

lege, Ohio, from the 21st of November
through the 24th.

Those of us who are familiar with
the reports brought back from these
conferences before will be glad to hear
again from this gathering, while those
who are new will enjoy the experience
of feeling themselves a part of a great
association of colleges of the highest
rank.

For a number of years Agnes Scott
has sent delegates to this conference.
It is an association primarily com-
posed of Northern colleges, but any
college whose standard is of a certain
height may gain membership. Agnes
Scott is one of four Southern colleges
to have attained this standard.

At this conference the delegates
from the various colleges discuss their
work during the past year, suggest
ideas for improvement, and form new
plans for greater efficiency. It is a
great honor that Agnes Scott is a
member of such a splendid organiza-
tion, and an honor which we fully ap-
preciate.

The delegate elected this year to ac-
company the president of Student Gov-
ernment, Carrie Scandrett, to the con-
ference, is Mary Ann McKinney. We
are expecting, upon their return, a
very interesting account of the work
carried on by the conference.

Dr. W. E. Dodd Lectures

On Monroe Doctrine

Criticises Our Foreign Policy

Entertained by Miss
Hearon in Tea Room.

Agnes Scott had the privilege of
hearing on Friday morning a lecture,
“The Monroe Doctrine One Hundred
Years Later,” by Dr. W. BE. Dodd. The
speaker is one of the foremost scholars
of America, and is now Professor of
History in the University of Chicago.
The college was truly fortunate in
having him as a lecturer and owes
great thanks to the Lecture Associa-
tion, under the auspices of which he
came to Agnes Scott.

This was not Dr. Dodd’s first visit
to Agnes Scott, for three years ago
he gave a series of lectures in the
chapel on the subject of Woodrow Wil-
son. A large audience, composed of
those who had heard him at that time
and of those who were eager to listen
to a speaker as interesting as he was
reported to be, gathered in the chapel
at the time of the lecture.

Dr. McCain introduced Dr. Dodd,
speaking a few words of welcome to
him. Dr. Dodd, in beginning his talk,
gave a brief summary of the history
of the Monroe Doctrine. It was, he
said, with its provisions for protection
of the two American continents against
the Holy Alliance, a subject fit for
the pen of a Mark Twain.
but Americans would have laughed at
themselves for accepting it. But, the
Doctrine was, at the same time, a bold
and important document. It has come
to be the corner-stone of American
foreign policy. As first interpreted,
the Monroe Doctrine was magnani-
mous in spirit. It aimed at protection
of the democracy, self-expression, and
self-determination of the American
peoples. It is unpractical, idealistic,
and useful only in that it points to
that which cannot be attained. But,
in its evolution during the hundred
years of its life, it has come to mean
a policy of exploitation of the weak
by the strong, or even of annexation.
It has by interpretation come to mean
the right of America to move south.

The general policy of the Monroe
Doctrine, said Mr. Dodd, is the same
as European imperialistic policies. We
Americans condemn other countries
for what they do, but we together with
the English have been careful to create
and to maintain the opinion that our
motives are most generous. The Ger-
man idea, following Darwin, that they
were fittest and that they therefore

Program Includes Many At-

On Saturday night, November 10,
the local Cotillion Club invited the col-
lege community to a dance, given in
the Gymnasium building. This, the
first dance of the season, was one of
the most enjoyable occasions of the
fall term. The Gym could hardly be
recognized with its elaborate decora-
|tions of autumn colors and bright
leaves.

The club was fortunate in securing
a four-piece orchestra from Atlanta,
whose appropriate music delighted
everyone.

The program opened with a grand
march, led by Josephine Douglas,
president of the club. Posters then
announced that the Seldoms were pre-
senting Miss Irene Castle. This part
was cleverly impersonated by Jean
Dumas.

Four dances, each representing one
of the classes, followed. This ‘pre-
‘sentation, given by Jeanie Perkins,
Harriet Fearington and Dell Bern-
hardt, was clever ‘n every detail, and
revealed much training and talent.

The last number was a nightmare

Bernhardt and Margaret Powell.

At the conclusion of the dance,
everyone stayed for a social chat and
drank punch which was served by
Cotillion Club members.

The Second Series Of Black-
friar Plays Will Be Given In

Agnes Scott Chapel
On December 1

“The Rescue”, “The Wonder
Hat”, “Fourteen”, Will Be
Presented to Students
At That Time.

On December the first Blackfriars
is to present to the college community
the second series of three short plays.
These plays have been carefully se-
lected with the hope of giving each
person what she likes best along dra-
matic lines.

“The Rescue,” a serious play con-
taining a note of tragedy, has wonder-
ful possibilities for action and acting.
Deep sympathy is awakened for the
pretty distraught girl, surrounded by
watching neighbors, and doomed to in-
sanity by inheritance. Just as she is
on the verge of the disease, she is
saved from herself by a falsehood con-
cerning her parentage.

“The Wonder Hat” will especially
please those who like the fanciful.
In a gay land of make-believe, the
joys and caprices of Columbine and
Ponchinello will be followed.

He who likes to laugh will have just
cause when he sees “Fourteen.” No,
not the age fourteen—but fourteen
guests, invited to a dinner party. A
blizzard outside and the telephone in-
side keep the poor hostess in an un-
certain state of mind as to whether
she is to have any guests to her din-
ner. In the end numbers of the origi-
nal as well as “the last minute” guests
appear.

Though the casts have not been defi-
nitely chosen yet, judging from for-
mer plays presented by Blackfriars,
we may feel sure that these plays will
be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

'Dorothea Chambers
_ Speaks In Chapel

So We. Os A: Secretary From
Constantinople Talks Inter-
estingly.

On Wednesday morning, in the
chapel, Miss Dorothea Chambers, who
has just returned from Constantinople,
gave a very delightful talk on her
Y. W. C. A. work in the East. She is
a graduate of Bryn Mawr, and has
| been in this work for three years; one
| year was spent in Silicia and the other
two in Constantinople.

Miss Chambers threw an entirely
‘new light upon conditions in Turkey,
|showing the brighter side of the dark
clouds that hover over that country.
| There are two things which are draw-
jing her back into the work, she says:
One is Constantinople, and the other
the women of Silicia. Those women
jand the women of Turkey are to be
|thought of no longer as “advertise-
}ments for Fatima cigarettes,” but as
/women who have climbed out of the
|seclusion enforced upon them by Ma-
| homet and have taken their rightful
/place in their nation’s affairs. Many
are even wage-earners. Polygamy is
‘now very rare, chiefly because of eco-
| homie reasons.

The Y. W. C. A. service center in
Stamboul is doing much to unite
Greek, Armenian and Turkish girls,
[eteenee as it may seem, in a spirit of
|fellowship. One Turkish woman who
\is doing much to help the girls and
|women of her nation is Halidahalum,
ja noted feminist, a graduate of Con-
stantinople College, who fought as a
|soldier with the Nationalist troops,
and has thus become a general heroine.

Miss Chambers believes that Turkey
is on the threshold of a splendid fu-
ture which will weld together the dif-
ferent races, and that the Y. W. C. A.
'will play a great part in the process.

Perhaps the student body has never
heard a more beautiful bit of descrip-
tion than Miss Chambers gave of her
landing at Constantinople; and thus,
from every standpoint, her talk was
most delightful and profitable.

were greeted with enthusiasm by the

there was, if possible, more cheering
when the Alumnae team

“Limping some,

and not “what they used to be,” came
running on the field of contest.

Though they may not be what they
used to be, the Alumnae are certainly
not to be slighted. For a more splen-
did fight was never put up by a team,
handicapped in the lack of practice.
And everyone present realized how
good they were. Lib Hoke, of old—
now Miss Elizabeth Hoke—and Mary
Goodrich played the part of stars quite
nobly.

That this was a game to be handed
down in the annals of Agnes Scott
was attested to by the fact that such
an enthusiastic crowd gathered to see
it. Dr. MeCain, Mr. Cunningham,
parents of students, and the student
body were present. We have no doubt
that the power house even was de-
serted in this time of excitement.

“We have become frankly weary of the oft reiterated phrase
‘che more you put into it the more you'll get out,’ but once again
trite as it is, it serves its purpose, and in no place is it more appli-
cable than right here at college. We spend the most formative
years of our lives at college and for the most part college tends
to bring out the best that is in us. It can’t develop us at all if we
are not willing to co-operate in bringing about our own develop-
ment, and one of the first and most essential things college teaches
us is co-operation. A large percentage of us come to college for a
broader outlook, and a more cultural standard from which to view
life. But, once having proclaimed our object in coming, we seem
to drop the matter and pay no more attention to it. A tolerant
viewpoint, and an appreciation of fine things can’t be hurled at
us while we stand inanimate. We owe it to ourselves to make
an effort to grasp the big things of life as they run fleetly by.
College does more to help us develop along cultural lines than any
other institution today and yet most of us let life rush by us
without even feebly stretching out to seize some of the things
in our way.

“There is the little matter of collateral reading. Most of
us will acknowledge that reading plays a tremendous part in in-
fluencing our lives. We read good books and are often ashamed
to admit it for fear of being considered a high-brow. That in
itself is not only a wrong but a ridiculous and childish attitude
to take. But, nevertheless, it is true and it is only one of the ways
by which we stunt our mental growth. And, to go back to out-

side reading, some of us have discovered that it isn’t all drudgery
and that we honestly do enjoy most of the books that are assigned.
But we are not honest enough to admit it to ourselves most of the
time and would die rather than admit to our classmates that we
enjoyed our reading. The dread of being called a grind has so
permeated our consciousness that our actions are largely governed
by it. But in order to emerge from college really cultured we
should not only read but should enjoy it. The taboo put upon en-
joyment of work is one of the most savage and least cultural
things in college and we and not the college are to blame for it.

“Tf college can teach us to be tolerant of knowledge honestly
got and honestly enjoyed it will have broadened our outlook tre-
mendously. But college is impotent if we are inert and disin-
terested. The responsibility for our own development lies with
us.”

DR. W. E. DODD LECTURES ON
MONROE DOCTRINE.
(Continued from Page 1, Column 3.)

abandoning her plans puts us in the
position of letting the heathen show
up the path of justice and generosity.

Mr. Dodd’s conclusions were that the
United States should no longer base
its foreign policy on the Monroe Doc-

An important development in the

history of the Doctrine is the change
of attitude of South American coun-
tries toward the United States. “The
Great American Hog” is an ever pres-
ent fear in those countries which once
regarded us as their natural protec-
tors. The ablest group of international
lawyers in the world has arisen in
South America in order to interpret
the Monroe Doctrine. Canada, too, is
unfriendly to and suspicious of our
foreign policy. One of the chief rea-
sons why we did not enter the League
was that, by doing so, we would have
to expose our foreign policy to other
nations. We would have to renounce
the Monroe Doctrine and further an-
nexations, for other nations would not
vote for additions of territory.

Mr. Dodd discussed the “Monroe
Doctrine of the East,” and told of
Japan’s desire to set up protectorates
over Manchuria and Korea. Japan’s

trine and, further, that no nation
should have a foreign policy which
cannot be subjected to the free discus-
sion of other nations.

In closing, Mr. Dodd spoke of Wil-
son, of whom he is a warm admirer,
He said that the former President was
the only man at the Peace Table who
wished the nations to abandon the
principles of the Monroe Doctrine. “We
can never have international good feel-
ing until every nation is willing to see
itself in the light of history, to correct
its faults, and to subject its affairs to
world criticism,” said Mr. Dodd.

After the lecture Mr. Dodd was en-
tertained at lunch by Miss Cleo
Hearon, head of the history depart-
ment at Agnes Scott. The history
majors and the members of the Lec-
ture Association were invited to have
coffee in the tea room with Mr. Dodd
at 2 o’clock.

was done very cleverly in some in-
stances; at one time the ring was
found on the stem of a lollypop; at
another, on the stem of a chrysanthe-
mum laid by each place.

Miss Mary Berkmans of Macon was

AGNES SCOTT SENDS DELE-
GATES TO STUDENT VOL-
UNTEER CONVENTION
IN INDIANAPOLIS

December 29 to January 1 Are Dates
of Meeting.

Of interest, not only to the Student
Volunteers, but also to the whole stu-
dent body is the ninth International
|Convention of the Student Volunteer
| Movement which is to be held at In-
dianapolis, Dee. 29 1923 to Jan. 1,
1924, and to which Agnes Scott will
send five delegates.

The Agnes Scott students who will
attend are Victoria Howie, Harriet
Fearrington, Frances Lincoln, Dell
Bernhardt and Lillian McAlpine. Mrs.
Sydenstricker will chaperon the party.

This convention which meets every
four years is held under the auspices
lof the Student Volunteer Movement
with the co-operation of the Student
Departments of the Y. M. C. A. and
the Y. W. C. A., and the foreign mis-
sion boards of Canada and the United
States.

In view of the number wishing to
attend this convention, it has been
necessary to limit the number coming
from each college. The quota that has
been given to Agnes Scott is five rep-
iresentatives from the student body and
one from the Faculty. These repre-
sentatives will be selected by the Y.
W. GC. A., which pays part of their ex-
penses.

Since we are to have our own Stu-
dent Representatives there it will be
interesting to note the purpose of the
convention and some of the things
which it expects to discuss. The pur-
pose of the convention as summarized
by the committee on arrangements is
as follows: To realize the critical
needs and possibilities of the situation
in the world today and to consider the
responsibility of the Christian stu-
dents of the United States and Canada
in the light of this situation. To con-
sider Christ and His way of life as the
hope of all the world. To present the
foreign missionary enterprise in the
light of its achievements and possibili-
ties as an indispensable means off
bringing the power of Christ to bear
upon the world’s needs. The conven-
tion being International, there will be
addresses by speakers from both Eu-
rope and Asia, also by missionary
leaders. There are four main dis-
cussion courses that have been sug-
gested: International Problems and the
Christian Way of Life; Racial Rela-
tions and the Christian Ideal; Youth
and Renaissance Movements; Econom-
ie Problems and the Christian Ideal.

We should be especially concerned
in this convention since it is the only
one of its kind that will meet during
the present student generation and if
it is going to be as wonderful as all
the Student Volunteers lead us to be-
lieve, we will await with much interest
the report of our representatives.

“Florida young women are more re-
ligiously inclined than the young men
of the state. This is indicated in com-
paring the religious census of the stu-
dent bodies at the State College for
Women with that of the University
of Florida.” The percentage of young
women church members is 88, while
that of the men is 74.

More marriages! And who NEXT?
Such are our thoughts when we read
in the paper or hear from friends so
often that Miss So and So, of Agnes
Scott, is to wed Mr. “Cute-y”. In-
deed, our college seems to be well
holding up its reputation for having
more married graduates, proportion-
ately, than other like institutions. We
are glad to announce the following re-
cent nuptials: Miss Sarah McCurdy,
21, to Mr. J. R. Evans, of New Or-
leans, La.

Miss Lucile Smith, '21, to Mr.
Charles Erie Berkey, of Dayton, Fla.

Miss Clifford Virginia Holtzclaw,

SENIORS ENTERTAIN SOPHO-
MORE SISTERS AT TEA
ROOM

Could there have been a more per-
fect ending to Tuesday, the day of In-
vestiture, than the party which some
of the Seniors gave to their Sophomore
Sisters in the Tea Room? Surely not,
for it was a party that will mean an-
other golden memory of Agnes Scott.
One especially nice part about this
party was that there were two mothers
there; for at one end of the long table
was Mrs. Gilliland, and at the other
end was Mrs. Greene with the Seniors
and Sophomore Sisters on each side.

The table was beautiful, decorated
with yellow candles, and a basket of
yellow and white chrysanthemums in
the center. Beside the place of each
Sophomore Sisters was a small chry-
santhemum on which was slipped the
ring of her Senior Sister.

The guests were: Mrs. Greene, Mrs.
Gilliland, Mary Greene, Nan Lingle,
Victoria Howie, Harriet Fearrington,
Polly Stone, Mary Dudley Brown,
Frances Amis, Sara Slaughter, Bar-
ron Hyatt, Sterling Johnson, Janice
Brown, Ellen Fain, Frances Gilliland,
and Margaret Tufts.

PARTY FOR FRANCES GILLILAND

Monday, November fifth, was Fran-
ces Gilliland’s birthday, and Mrs. Gil-
liland, who was here for Investiture,
gave a lovely party in her honor, It
took place in the Silhouette Tea Room,
that spot sacred to Agnes Scott festiv-
ities. The decorations were roses, and
very beautiful the table looked, with
its center-piece of large pink roses,
and the place cards with their tiny
pink roses.

The guests were: Mrs. Greene, who
was also present for Investiture; Mary
Greene, Victoria Howie, Janice Brown,
Frances Amis, Polly Stone and Bar-
ron Hyatt.

Dearest Giddie:

Do you really want to know about
the Agonistic staff? Well—now won-
der what kind of girl you imagine the
editor to be—smart and wise? No;
guess again. She’s Greene—and she
isn’t a Freshman, either, so there’s no
excuse.

As for the assistant editor, it is
really embarrassing to tell about her.
Stop, look, and listen, but don’t get
shocked—when I tell you she is a Keith
girl!

I believe I've already told you about
F. Lipscomb, M. P. Caldwell and C.
Smith. So we'll leave them out th:s
time, though it is tragic to deprive
them of more publicity.

You wouldn’t think of a joke editor
as one of those serious kind, would
you? But Araminta is just as serious-
minded and cultured as any girl in
school. In fact, she says she has an
awful time trying to hide her culture
when she is doing her best to vamp
some feather headed tea hound. Any-
way, she must succeed in doing it,
"cause she has acquired quite a string.

You won’t want to know but one
thing about L. Buchanan. When she
was in a stunt her freshman year, a

That’s the kind of a girl she is!

Then there is Louisa Duls—our
Alumnae editor. She has the most
sarcastic last name I ever heard.

And here I am about to forget our
Y. W.C. A. editor, Well—iI’m not go-
ing to tell you about all of Eugenia’s
beaux, ’cause you might show this let-
ter to “John” and he would think Eu-
genia wasn’t true to him.

Oh, yes! I have another shock for
you. We have a Mann for assistant
business manager. Mr. White gener-
ally has a hostile attitude toward cats
and men, but Mary can get by with
lots of things that nobody else can.

And last, but not least, are our -cir-
culation managers, M. Dobbs and L.
Hendrix. M. won’t tell me a thing
about her affairs, ’cause she is so, ab-
sorbed with her bobbed hair. But we
know all about L. Hendrix. Some of
the girls think she spends her time giv-
ing fire drills. However, there’s one
thing certain—she knows how to get
Sigma Nu pins!

Giddie, I’m aching to tell you about

you drink in all this staff gossip you’ll

“Lives of great men all remind us
We may make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.”

Last week when the alumnae hockey
team, “all decrepit and glum,” came to
battle against the athletically inclined
undergraduates, did we notice those
who were once day students on that
mighty graduate team? Well ought
we to be proud of Mary Goodrich and
Ethel Ware, who in a not so far gone
past were also off campus Hottentots.
The way they showed that one doesn’t
necessarily lose all one’s vim, vigor
and vitality even after gaining a much
coveted document, was ably demon-
strated—not on the “sands of time”
perhaps, but in this case on the pro-
verbial mud of the athletic field. We
are proud to claim each ex-member
of the day student clan as “one of
us’’*—and we hope they will come back
often to see us.

Girls Selected to Go to Indianapolis.

Our Y. W. C. A. does many fine
and splendid things; and, in order to
keep them up by the best methods, we
have to keep in constant contact with
other Christian organizations of the
country. So we have selected five
girls to attend the Nationa] Student
Volunteer Conference which is to be
held at Indianapolis the last four days
of Christmas holidays.

These girls were selected with the
view of representing all the girls in
college. There are two representing
the senior class: Vic Howie and Dell
Bernhardt; one representing the Stu-
dent Volunteers, Lillian McAlpine, and
one from the junior and sophomore
classes, respectively, Frances Lincoln
and Harriet Fearington.

We are expecting these girls to
bring us a message from the confer-
ence vital to each girl here, and are
looking forward to the time when the
conference comes.

The week of November 11th was
a national week of prayer, and, of

course, according to our custom, we
observed it in our own college.

they are not asking for services; they
are asking for something that it is
possible for all Christians to give—
our prayers. When we think of those
students in other countries, young pee-
ple like us who are struggling for an
education, struggling against odds al-
most too great for them; when we
think of this world struggling for
peace and prosperity, our hearts go
out with a yearning to help. Now is
our time. Even after the week of
prayer has been completed at Ag-
nes Scott, let us not forget those suf-
fering people and let us have prayers
for them firmly established in our
hearts.

ROHSIN’S is

aS just another
y) name for qual-
ity, just as
Webster is another name
for the dictionary. In
Atlanta, to say that a
garment comes from
Frohsin’s is to dispose of
argument. More, the
fact that it comes from
Frohsin’s gives it a cer-
tain “air”, dignifying
even the most simple
purchase with the glam-
or of a great reputation.

But aside from these
silken considerations, the
fact remains that there
is a certain homespun
quality about everything
at Frohsin’s which has
carried the fame of this
institution from coast to
coast.

One of the most delightful enter-

Grandmothers’ party which was given
in the gymnasium on Saturday night,
November 23. On this occasion the
Seniors and Juniors their
Freshman grandchildren to enjoy an
evening of games and story-telling.

The gymnasium was appropriately
decorated for the party. At one end
was grandmothers’ sitting-room, with
a wealth of easy chairs and soft
cushions and, best of all, a big, open
fireplace. The remainder of the room
was devoted to dancing.

The hostesses, as became their title

of “grandmothers”, were dressed as
charming old ladies. Black
dainty aprons and beautiful white hair
completely transformed the youth of
the Seniors and Juniors into dignified
old age. The Freshmen, also, showed
signs of change. But, in their case,
time had turned backwards, and had
brought knee dresses, socks, and long
curls to the grandchildren. The cos-
tumes were very attractive and the

based on the old game of “jump-rope.”

read John Drinkwater’s “Robert E.
Lee.” This play naturally has a
special interest for Southerners.
Robert E. Lee as John Drinkwater
has characterized him, is a man in
whom is blended those qualities which
most inspire love and admiration. He
is the supreme type of the Southern
gentleman.

Miss Gooch has made a thorough
study of the historical characters who
are portrayed in the play, and her
reading was exceptionally well done.
She is to read Mr. Drinkwater's play
before the Drama League in Atlanta
soon and kindly gave Blackfriars the
opportunity of hearing her first. Be-
sides the regular members who were

Gooch’s reading.

Noted Singer and Pianist
At Auditorium.

One of the many advantages which
Agnes Scott girls enjoy from their
proximity to Atlanta is the privilege
of hearing world-famous men and
women, performing in Atlanta. Such
an opportunity came last week in the
two concerts given in Atlanta on Wed-
nesday and Fridey evenings, respect-
ively, the first, by Paderewski, the sec-
ond, by Farrar. —

The Atlanta Music Club presented,
in its civic concert series, the world-
famous pianist and composer, Ped-
erewski, on Wednesday evening, No-
vember 28th, in the city auditorium.

To introduce the Polish pianist and

> composer, Ignace Jan Paderewski, is

most an insult to the intelligence
of an audience, so wide-spread is his
fame. Popular opinion crowns Pade-
rewski as the master of all living pi-

It was founded in the year 1920, for

the purpose of bringing to the col-—

day; and has been most. successful,
presenting on its programs such fam-

Lowell, Vachel Lindsey, Frank Lane,
and John Powell.

Dr. William E. Dodd, Professor of
American History at the University
of Chicago, opened the season for this
year by a most interesting address on
the “Monroe Doctrine—A Hundred

Miss Bland Entertains
In Honor Of Miss Sarah

If you had ventured into Gaines
Cottage Sunday night, November 18th,.
and paused an instant before Miss
Bland’s room, you would have been
completely consumed with curiosity
and envy to hear soft ripples of laugh-
ter and such words as these, issuing
from behind closed doors: “Look, it’s

Anne; your education is sadly neglect-
ed until you see Charlotte”; “I adore
burnt marshmallows, don’t you.”

All of this means that Miss Mar-
garet Bland was entertaining the
of their
friends at a most delightful social
gathering, held in honor of Miss Sarah
Keesler, of Charlotte, who was visit~
ing her sister, Mary. An enjoyable

|hour was spent in chattering about

INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATING.

A practice of which we much approve is that of intercollegi-
ate debating. There is evidently a great interest in this form
of contest among the students of our colleges, for practically half
of the Agonistic’s exchanges publish accounts of participation in
intercollegiate debates. For several years Agnes Scott has been
a member of a triangular debating society to which Newcomb
and Randolph-Macon Colleges also belong. The debates have al-
ways been of a high order of excellence and have been of great
benefit in bringing these ‘three leading Southern Colleges into
contact with each other.

It seems to us that debating is a form of intercollegiate ac-
tivity more nearly suited to the needs of both institutions and
students than any which has yet been developed. It has a great
advantage over athletics in that the student is called upon to
make use of his intellectual ability, and his college training. We
fee] that we may say with truth that some of our foremost col-
lege athletes are decidedly below the average as students; and
at least we are justified in our opinion that the attitude of many
athletes falls far short of being scholarly. It is not impossible
for an athlete to be a good student, but everybody who knows
anything about intercollegiate athletics realizes that the stu-
dent who is or hopes to be a member of a team is, as a general
rule, interested primarily in track, football, baseball, basket ball,
and secondarily in scholarship. Few colleges enforce rigidly their
rules which require at least passing grades before @ student can
participate in intercollegiate athletics. From these facts, it is
easy to see that the athlete is not necessarily a representative
student.

Debaters are students of a high order in almost every case.
At least they are average students or they would not be able with
any degree of success to state and to uphold arguments which
are challenged by students who are intellectually superior. The
debater is called upon to use not only his native ability, but also
he shows by the lucidity of his thought and the force of his ex-
pression the benefits of his training in college. The debater, we
think, is a representative student.

Perhaps some will disagree with us on this point, stating
that, where the athlete may be too little occupied with academic
work, the debater may be a book-worm—and a person totally out-
side the spirit of college life. This is not true. Intercollegiate
debating is as much a part of college activities as any kind of
athletic contest, and the student who interests himself in de-
bating is doing as much for his college as any other student. We
think he is doing more, for he is representing his college in some-
thing closely related to the real work and the true spirit of his
Alma Mater.

We hope to see the day when such intercollegiate activities
as debating will hold at least as popular and as honored a place
among students as athletic contests.

The many friends of Margaret

to do life-saving service work in the
field for the American Red Cross, and
she can demonstrate on land and in

the evolution of swimming from the
days of primitive men and women who
lived in caves.

Mrs. Deubig knows that women have
a distinct place in the life-saving field

So many things have happened in
Rebekah this week that it’s hard to
know just where to begin.

Katherine Cannaday is so popular
that all the girls on third floor are
green with jealousy. You know she
was sponsor at the Tech-Kentucky
game the other day and her picture
has been in the paper about six times.

Emily Zellars is about to rival her
though, because she was sponsor of
the “Patillion’’—so the report goes—
at Emory.

And guess what! Nonie has a new
nephew—Larry, Jr. Last week-end
she went to see him and she hasn’t
talked about a thing else since she’s
been back. She says his hair is black
but she knows it’s a mistake and will
some day be red.

While Nonie was away a beautiful
apartment sprang up overnight—the
Community Club. Everybody made
contributions of either pillows, maga-
zines, books, rugs and even chairs and
tables. There’s a lovely couch right
in front of the window which looks
out on one of the most delightful of
snow scenes. The Club extends invi-
tations to everybody on the campus
to come and enjoy its peaceful and up-
lifting atmosphere.

Margaret Powell had a _ birthday
party the other night, and every single
person who was there said she had
never eaten as much or had such a
good time—wondey how many candles
were on the cake?!

That wasn’t the only birthday party
though! Isabel Clarke and Juanita
Grier had birthdays Monday and so,
after an aw-ful Chemistry V test—|
they had a party for all the class
which was a grand substitution for
Lab. They served the grandest ice}
cream and crackers-even though one
of Miss Bishop’s plates did get broken
—that anyone could imagine. After
refreshments: Isalvel said, “Now every-
body get out your pencils and papers
again because I’m going to give you
a guessing contest.” Elizabeth Bla-
lock was sitting just behind Isabel,
and she likes chemistry pretty well
except Chem. V. tests—so she said
(not meaning Mr. Holt should hear}
it), “I’ve just finished one guessing
contest.” Mr. Holt heard it and poor
Liz blushed but she’ll probably never
say anything like that again—party
or no party.

Dick Scandrett and Mary Ann Mc-
Kinney have gone on a trip to Ober-
lin College, Ohio, where a student
government conference is to be held.

Dearest Giddie:

Everybody is quite excited over our
two cases of scarlet fever. But the
Freshmen think that C. S. (Christ-

is a mighty long time for such a
deadly disease to last.

Well, these Agnes Scott girls do
have some of the strangest affairs!
D. Ferrell (you’ve heard me speak of
her) has a secret lover. We call him
“The Mystery Man” because he does
so many mysterious things. Why,
almost every day she gets a box of
candy or something else and has no
idea who the man is. Now isn’t that
the quintessence of romance!

Guess you’ve seen in our annual a
picture of Polly Stone, A. S.’s most
original girl, and I just want to say
that Polly won’t put up with a mere
man like the rest of us crave. No!
She has to be original and get a new
brand. Polly’s man hasn’t seen her

lives in Idaho, but he still writes

the fact that he went to a big dance

Now, Giddie, I just can’t resist tell-

she had two perfectly good dates on

Solos, Quartet, Orchestras Are
Pleasing to Agnes Scott
Girls

The Davidson College Glee Club,
under the able direction of Mrs. Coral
Hayner Baker, one of the most promi-
nent musicians of the South, appeared
in concert. at Agnes Scott, under the
auspices of the Agnes Scott Glee Club
on December 8, 1923.

The Davidson Club has attracted
widespread attention in North Caro-|

lina this season, and is proclaimed as}

one of the best college musical organi- |
‘zations in Dixie. Mrs. Baker, a for-
‘mer student and teacher of New York
and foreign conservatories, has been
in charge of the collegiate musicians
since early fall and she has perfected
an organization that will attract at-

!a most impressive one, since it gave us

tention wherever it goes.

In addition to the regular chGruses |
‘and the customary solo num. -rs, the)
Davidsonians presented a variety of|
instrumental numbers. Three com-|
plete and distinct orchestras are in-
eluded in the personnel of the club.
An eleven piece symphony orchestra,
a six piece jazz orchestra, and a four}
piece string orchestra are proving a
valuable asset to the organization.
They are scoring hits and gaining rec-|
ognition wherever they go.

The Wildcat Quartet was one of the
headline attractions of the varied pro-
gram presented by the representatives
of Davidson. The four members of
the quartet are a cosmopolitan group
“yepresenting four states—North Caro-
lina, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi.
Their repertoire includes a number of
folk songs and lullabies that’ never
grow ojd, as well as the popular songs |
‘of the day. ae

by C. V. Brown, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., and led by W. Ted Jones, of

linas and Georgia.

North Carolina gives the Davidson
Club credit for having one of the best
musical clubs in the South, a special
tribute being paid to the range of the
program and to the high tone with
which every selection is presented.

The fall tour will begin December
4th. The first performance will be!
given in Spartanburg, S. C. The club!
will then play in Greenville, S. C.;
Gainesville, Ga. (Brenau College); De-
eatur, Ga., (Agnes Scott College);
Rome, Ga., and Gastonia, N. C.

Plans are being made for a tour of
South Georgia and Florida during the
Christmas holidays. This trip will
earry the North Carolinians as far
south as sunny Miami.

The Davidson Glee Club, which ap-
peared in concert here December 8, is
recognized as one of the leading col-
lege musical organizations of the
South. Under the direction of Mrs.
Coral Hayner Baker, prominent leader
in the musical circles of the state, the
Davidson Glee Club chorus has de-
veloped into an entertaining organiza-
tion.

The troup is composed of twenty-five
singers, as follows:

First Tenors—Watt McCain, Lex-

On Tuesday morning the student
body had the great pleasure and priv-

talk by Mr. Guy Hurlbut on “Needs

for over a month, buy two pairs of

entific text books, pay a Russian pro-
fessor’s salary for two months, or one

year’s tuition for two students.

At this time each Agnes Scott girl
was asked to subscribe to the Student
Friendship Fund Campaign. As we
have already entered into the Christ-
mas spirit of giving, we felt that there
would be no other way in which we
could show unselfishness and self-de-
nial better than to give our hearty
response to this cause. The goal for

In order to raise this amount each girl
was asked to give only two dollars,

are within her walls, and then con-|

Mrs. Dieckmann
Entertains Folio At
Initiation Meeting

New Members Attend First
Meeting

On Friday, November 30th, Folio
members assembled on Main steps and
“hiked” to Mrs. Dieckmann’s home in
Decatur. Here they were met by Mrs.
Dieckmann and ushered into that
cheery, homey living room of hers
that is so dear to the hearts of all
Folio and ex-Folio members.

This was the first meeting since the
initiation, at which five new members
—Susan Clayton, Mitchel Moore, Mary
Shive, Louise Capen and Miriam Pres-
ton—had been admitted to the club.
These five were present in full force,
and greatly enjoyed the initiation of
the sixth new member, Dorothy
Chamberlain, who had been unable to
be present at the first initiation. This
fascinating ceremony was so lengthy
that, by the time Dorothy was fully
“in,” time limit was found to be fast
approaching. So only one story was
read and discussed.

Afterward, everyone drew her chair
a little bit closer to the sparkling,
crackling fire, and reveled in such
nuts and ginger cookies and juicy
winesaps as no one but Mrs. Dieck-
mann can provide. It seemed scarcely
a moment ‘til it was twenty minutes

our athletic prowess, under the fol-
lowing conditions:

1. That, the game be played in five
minute quarters and with long rest
periods in between.

2. That, for every member of our
team called away at the time of the
game to other duties, our apponents
will withdraw one of theirs down to
the limit of two left on the team.

3. That, contrary to the usual rule
of team members not talking during
the progress of the game, instruction
may be carried on, so we may know
what to do next.

4, That, owing to our athletic
standing, the handicap of ten points
be tendered us by our adversaries.

5. That, owing to the pricelessness
of the opportunity of seeing this
game, ten cents will be charged at the
gate—the profit to be sunk in the new
swimming pool.

To this we set our seal and sign
on this, the first day of December, one

K. U. B. Elects Eight New

Members

Initiation on Tuesday, Nov. 27

All Biology students have learned
that anything that grows is alive, and
that unless it is alive it cannot grow.
K. U. B., then, is not a dead organiza-
tion. It is very much alive, for it is
growing rapidly in numbers and in
work. At one time K. U. B. con-
tributed to only one paper in Atlanta.
It now sends weekly news to the three
Atlanta papers, the DeKalb New Era,
a Savannah paper, besides occasional
news to the home papers of the stu-
dents.

This new work has meant the need
of new members, and therefore. the
second tryouts for K. U. B. were held
much earlier than usual. Eight new
members were admitted at an initia-
tion meeting last Tuesday, November
27. These new members are: Mary
Freeman, Elizabeth Chapman, Olivia!
Swann, Mary Heath, Mamie Shaw,
Sara Shields, Frances Lincoln and El-}

Sherwood Eddy Conducts |

Great Mass Meeting of
Students At Baptist
Tabernacle

Agnes Scott Girls Hear Famous
Writer With Interest

Sherwood Eddy, world traveler,
writer and speaker, has just returned
from another long trip around the
world, and was in Atlanta last Sun-
day. His work among students in
Asia and Europe took him. to twenty-
He is just back from
Russia, Germany, the Ruhr, Japan,
China and India. From the throbbing
centers of Europe and Asia he brings
us a vivid story of the political, in-
dustrial and social life on those conti-
nents today.

Dr. Eddy conducted a series of con-
ferences in Atlanta, beginning with a
great mass meeting of students on
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, De-
cember 9th. This meeting was held in
the Baptist Tabernacle and space was
reserved for delegations from colleges
and high schools. Admission was free,
but by ticket.

Dr. Eddy’s greatest work has been
done among students the world over.
It was the purpose and hope of those
in charge of the conferences that
every student in Atlanta would have
the opportunity to hear this great
man.

Sherwood Eddy is now a world fig-
ure in Christian leadership. He has
dealt with the young people of prac-
tically every country of Europe and
Asia. He has been especially active
in his work with the Young Men’s
Christian Association. Throughout all

| his activities he has been characterized

by his brilliance, energy,
and devotion to his cause.
Dr. Eddy has written a number of

judgment

most interesting books besides carry- |

ing on his regular work of making
a study of political, socia) and
dustrial problems.

We were most fortunate in having

an opportunity to hear this famous |

man. From Dr. Eddy we had the
privilege of learning something of the
present world situation from a truer
perspective.

Christmas Tree For

Children From
Associated Charities

Agnes Scott Girls Play Santa
Claus

Save up your pennies, girls, for on
Saturday afternoon, December 15, you
will have the opportunity of playing
fairy god-mother to little girls and
boys from the Associated Charities of
Atlanta. At this time old Santa will
visit the gym, where there will be a
large Christmas tree for these chil-
dren. You are to see that your little
ward has his share of toys and fruit
and candy, and that he has a good
time on that afternoon. It is sug-
gested that the little girls are par-
ticularly fond of dolls, and that the
little boys have an especial predilec-
tion for drums.

The Christmas tree is an annual
event at Agnes Scott. Just before the
holidays each year many little girls

and boys, who would not otherwise be!

visited by Santa Claus, are made hap-
py by the attentions of Agnes Scott
girls. The shining countenances of
the delighted children are evidence of
the pleasure this occasion affords
them. Hence, each of you is urged
to take a child and to do all you can
to make December 15 a day long to
be remembered by him. The eager
faces and genuine, childish joy of
these little ones will inspire a true
Christmas spirit, and will make your
own Christmas happier.

Faculty Vanquish Blackfriars Plays Are Great
Success

Three One Act Plays Are Pre-
sented in Chapel Last
Saturday Night

Blackfriars presented to the college
|}community and a number of friends
its second group of one-act plays for
the year 1923-’24, on Saturday eve-
ning, December Ist, in the college
chapel. The plays were exceedingly
well chosen, being of such diverse
character that one of them, at least
was obliged to suit the taste of each
spectator. They were, on the whole,
unusually well acted, too, and received
‘by the audience with a great deal of
enthusiasm. The curtain first rose on
“Fourteen,” by Alice Gerstenburg;
then came the “Rescue,” by Rita
Smith, and, lastly, “The Wonder Hat,”
by Hanneth Goodman and Ben Hecht.

“Fourteen” was a light, society play,
depicting the preparation for a din-
ner party in the home a New York
society leader, Mrs. Pringle, whose
“affairs were always successful.”
Fourteen guests were invited, but at
the last minute, many excused them-
selves for various reasons, leaving
now thirteen guests, and now an equal-
ly unwieldly number. The late refusal
of a handsome young millionaire to
accept her invitation, brought especial
consternation to the heart of the host-
ess. She lived through a tormenting
half-hour, calling new guests, re-ar-
ranging her table, and upbraiding her
timit, debutante daughter; until fin-
ally all her problems were solved by
the arrival of the Prince of Wales and
his secretary, to take the place of the
“handsome young millionaire.” They
exactly filled out the original four-
teen guests.

Characters in the Play: Mrs. Prin-
gle, a leader in society, Mary Palmer
Caldwell; Elaine, her daughter, a de-
butante, Frances Alston; Dunham, the
maid, Mildred Pitner.

Scene—Mrs. Pringle’s Dining-room
in her home in New York City.

Time—Winter, 1920.

The “Rescue” was the first play of
a serious nature attempted by Black-
\friars this year, and it met with great
success. It was the story of a young
girl, Anna, whose grandmother, on her
father’s side, had lost her mind, and
whose uncle and aunt, also on her
father’s side, had committed suicide
from fear of doing the same. Anna’s
father and mother were dead, and
she lived with another sister of her
father, Miss Elvira Warden. Miss
Warden was extremely nervous her-
self, and continually expected her
niece to show traces of hereditary in-
sanity, all the time trying to hide
from Anna the fate of her ancestors.
Kate, Anna’s nurse, divulged the mys-
tery of her ancestors to the girl, and
then, to prevent Anna herself from
going crazy, told her that she was not
the daughter of her supposed father.
Anna, believing her nurse, acted on
Kate’s advice, and went away from
home to work where she soon became
quite normal.

Popular criticism of the play is
this: “Gee, I thought I’d die if Fran-
ces Amis didn’t quit talking and fidget-
ting so.” This being interpreted,
means that the audience actually lived
through the fears and horror of the
heroine, and experienced the nervous-
ness of the aunt.

Characters of the Play: Miss Elvira
Warden, Frances Amis; Anna War-
den, her niece, Mary Ben Wright;
Kate, Polly Stone.

Scene—Living Room of Warden
House.

Time—The Present.

“The Wonder Hat” was a humorous
fantasy, eqntering around a magic
slipper which brought ail men to
the feet of the wearer, and a wonder
hat, which made the wearer invisible.
Columbine, the heroine, purchased the
magic slipper in order to gain Har-

lequin’s loye. Harlequin bought the
magie hat in order to be near Colum-

ee ———— ees

We are still regretting the unseemly conduct of the audience
at the Blackfriars plays which were given on last Saturday night.
At this time Rita Creighton Smith’s play, “The Rescue,” was pre-
sented by the dramatic organization; and it is of the attitude to-
ward this play that we speak. The cast was well chosen, and the
acting was more finished and convincing than any we have seen
on the Agnes Scott stage in many a day. The play was filled with
moments of tense dramatic interest, and its theme was one of
great seriousness. Yet at almost every move the cast was greeted
with a sound of giggling which was always poorly suppressed and
which, more often than not, broke into sudden bursts of laughter.
We do not speak of the failure of the audience to show at least a
degree of common politeness to the players, though we might do
so. We simply regret that half the effectiveness of a truly inter-
esting performance was destroyed by the absolute failure of the
audience to enter into the spirit of the play and to give to the cast
that necessary support which comes from sympathetic listening.

We hate to accuse an Agnes Scott audience of unimaginative-
ness, but judging from the sad experience of Saturday night, we
feel justified in doing so. The Agnes Scott students evidently
eame to see the members of the Blackfriars act; and, in the charac-
ters of the play, they saw only their campus acquaintances “dressed
up” in strange garbs. The idea that for the time being the actors
had flung aside their every-day identities and were living the lives
and experiencing the emotions of Kate, of Anna Warden, and of
_ Miss Elvira Warden seems never to have occurred to the majority
of the spectators. The cast of the play acted with the abandon of
art; the audience sat waiting for appreciation and understanding
to be pounded into its prosaic mind. And in the meantime it
thought with a chuckling good humor of the absurdity of a normal
Blackfriar’s being hounded with the fear of inheriting insanity.

We are told that the effective presentation of a play depends
upon a contract between actors and audience. They indulge in a
pleasing deceit, which is mutually agreed upon. The actor loses
himself in the creation of the playwright and lives in another
world; and the audience, forgetting scenery, footlights and grease
paint, follows where the actor leads and actually believes in the
reality of what it sees. The audience Saturday night refused to
meet half-way the cast of “The Rescue” and in so doing, classed

itself with the tribe of Peter Bell of whom Wordsworth says:
“A primose by a river’s brim,
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more.”

ber 20, in 42 Main. Miss Smith pre-
sided and important business matters
were taken up. The officers elected
were:

President—Miss Helen Wright.

Vice-President—Miss M. P. Cald-
well.
Secretary and Treasurer — Miss!

Mary Stuart.

On the Program Committee are:

May Little.

The Membership Committee is com-
posed of Miss Dick Scandrett, chair-
man; Miss Frances Myers and Miss
Stirling Johnson.

The faculty members are Misses
Smith, Stansfield, Campbell, and
Brownlee.

It was decided to limit the mem-
bership to those taking higher Latin
or Greek, but to allow Latin I stu-
dents to attend the meetings, which}
those in charge of the programs)
promise to make interesting. The|
meetings are to be held on the third
Friday of each month, in one of the
society halls, immediately after
prayers. The dues are to be fifty
cents a year, and the members voted
unanimously that refreshments be
served at future meetings.

On Thursday night, December 6, one
of the phases of the intercollegiate
debating questions was presented be-|
fore the members of Pi Alpha Phi.
The question was stated thus: Re-

Thanksgiving Entertain-
ment In Dining Room

Our annual Thanksgiving dinner
was given, as usual, in the dining
room on November 29. Of course,
the holiday was enjoyed by all, even
though the elements were not at all
favorable to excursions of pleasure, as
it poured lustily all day. In spite of
this, all of us enjoyed an extra hour’s
sleep, crawled out in the bleak cold-
ness, and donned our heaviest wraps
whether to go to the game, a show,
or something else—say a good
Thanksgiving dinner in the middle of
the day.

Naturally, the weather grew worse

|and worse, but by the time we were

all back out at school, dressed for din-
ner, and down in the beautifully dec-

|orated dining room, we felt all aglow

with anticipation for our treat. Many
and numerous were the songs sung—
to everything from turkey to faculty
—who, meaning faculty, not turkey,
made fitting responses.

After dinner we danced, played
bridge, and generally enjoyed a free
evening and, although we probably
lost our only umbrellas in the swim
of the trip downtown and got restrict-
ed for coming back too late, still all of
us enjoyed it thoroughly and would
not mind having every Thursday an-
other Thanksgiving.

ning on December 5 and lasting thru

held their meetings in the same place,
one after the other, to save time and
expense for those wishing to attend
both. As we belong to both associa-
tions, Mr Stukes stayed for both
meeting's.

Day Student News

The gray hue of rainy November
days is becoming dispelled by the
roseate visions of December and all
that this month brings. Just think—
in 20,160 hours (which will be even
less when you read this, if you do!)
‘we too will be going “back to civiliza-
tion,” perhaps not on the train, but
‘on something that will get us there!
And great will be the rejoicing there-
of. Anyone can tell from the excited
chatter going on in the day student
room that “C-S” is infinitely more
eatching than measles—and far more
delightful! The thought of fourteen
days of week-end pleasures sends
thrills all up and down our “imagin-
ary spine’ as Harlequin, of “The
Wonder Hat” fame, would say.

And speaking of “The Wonder Hat”
makes us think of the other two
Blackfriar plays of December 1, in
which Frances Alston and Mary Ben
Wright so nobly upheld the d. s. claim
to histrionic ability. Frances is a
born actress—if she can transform
herself into such a timid and docile
child, and do it to perfection, too!
Mary Ben is always interesting, of
course (there’s always something pe-
culiarly fascinating about anyone with
Titian locks), but in “The Rescue” she
‘captivated us even more than ever,

Alumnae News

Thanksgiving Day would lose half
its charm if we could not share our
turkey with many of our older sisters,
the alumnae, who often honor us with
visits during the Thanksgiving holi-
days. The recent holidays brought us
quite a number of alumnae guests,
among whom were the following:

| Misses Ruth Sanders, ’23; Fanny Mc-

Coo, ’21; Margaret Bell, ’21; Annie
White Marshall, ’18; Elizabeth Brown,
722; Dorothy Bowron, ’23; Nellie Ay-
cock, '20; Lois McClain, ’23; Ruth
Evans, ’22; Hlizabeth Ransom, ’23;
Eunice Legg, and Helen Lewis.

We regret to state that in a recent
issue of the “Agonistic” a mistake was
made concerning Miss Margaret Sand-
ers, 720, who was said to have married
a Mr. Bellingerath. We call your at-
tention to the fact that it is Miss Mar-
garet Shive, also of ’20, and not Miss
Sanders, who has entered the bonds of
wedlock.

and made us forget where we were, so
intense and real was the role she as-
sumed, for that one evening. “All the

All this, tho’, couldn’t keep away
ne of the most delightful of holidays—
Thanksgiving! Nearly everybody went
in town, either to the game or a show,
Thursday afternoon. Wonder what
Dr. Sweet thought about it? And
that night—well, after everybody ate
so much turkey and good things and
had such a good time in the gym
afterwards, I’l] bet every single girl
wishes that Thanksgiving would come
more than once a year!

There were loads of former Agnes
Scott girls that came back to visit us.
Myrtle Murphy was here and Mar-
jgaret Prowell and Lib Ransom and
Dot Bowron and then Hilda came out
here, too—and Lib Brown and Alice
Whipple.

Mary and Frances Bitzer played on

some on second, too—were drawn into
the circle of listeners.

We are glad to see Louise Hannah
able to be about again after suffering
from a sprained ankle that she got

last Saturday while spending the
week-end out. She says, tho’, that
she didn’t mind it much. Wonder

why? x !

Saturday night there was a very
touching scene in Rebekah dining
room when the chief mourner and
pall-bearers and others closely con-
nected with the deceased brought in
the unfortunate corpse of the Varsity
hockey team, murdered by an Ad-
equate Adversary (in the form of the
Faculty) that afternoon on the hockey
team. Our deepest heartfelt sym-
pathies are with the bereaved.

Lucy Oliver, Dorothy Keith, Eliza-
beth Griffin and Ellen Walker have
returned to us once more and words
are inadequate to express our joy at
seeing them.

The usual bevy of week-end spend-
ers arrived safely Monday morning,
and so far we haven’t heard of a sin-
gle girl who is any worse off after
spending Thanksgiving and the week-
end at home. We certainly are glad,
but not half so much as Dr. Sweet.

And we are hoping that George and
Grace can soon come out of the in-
firmary well and sound—’cause we
“sho’ do” miss them.

than realized even the anticipations of |

us who have experienced on former
occasions the capability of the lecture
association in providing us with the
most interesting lectures available.

The subject of the lecture in itself
was intensely interesting. Mr. Swin-
nerton sketched the few of the out-
standing men of English letters of to-
day, their appearance, their hobbies,
their work and their leisure. We
learned that Mr. Compton McKenzie is
an expert in gramophones besides be-
ing a foremost literary man; that Mr.
H. G. Wells, besides being able to trace
the outlines of the history of the world
ean trace one’s resemblance to a sal-
mon just as unerringly. While we
are reading Mr. Swinnerton’s own
works—and we are certain to read
them after hearing the lecture—can
we ever forget that, by his own con-
fession he calls his pajamas “Henry”?
We will keep the names of Arnold
Bennett, Hugh Walpole and John Gals-
worthy in our hearts as well—as liv-
ing interesting men, in addition to
their position there as authors.

It is, however, just as much because
of the style of the lecture as of the
subject matter that we will forever

Illustrated Talks On
Astronomy Are Given

The Mathematics Club held its reg-
ular meeting in the Physics lecture
room on Monday December
10th. Miss Howson’s Astronomy class
had charge of the program and pre-

evening,

sented some unusually
papers on the constellations of the

heavens.

One of the interesting bits of infor- |

mation was that the names of the

constellations date back to the time!

when astronomers cared more for per-
sonal acquaintance with stars than for

scientific classification of them. We

could very well understand this fact

while Miss Howson illustrated these
figures with diagrammed sterop-
ticon slides.
connected with the constellations were
related, and we had the pleasure of
seeing on a larger slide the shapes of
the stars as the mythologists saw
them.

Stars and poetry are inseparable, as
Louise Hendrix pointed out in quoting
Tennyson, thus:

ing thru the mellow shade,

Glitter like a swaxym .of fireflies

Faculty Host At

Christmas Dinner

The faculty was host to the college
community at a lovely Christmas din-
ner last Friday evening at 6:30. Both
the White House and Rebekah Scott
dining rooms were beautifully decor-

,ated for the occasion with the ap-
propriate and exciting red and green
colors of the season. The lights were)
|Shaded with red, and long red and
green streamers were suspended in
loops from the white columns of the
dining room. On each table was a
shining Christmas tree bedecked with
crystal ornaments and lighted with

colored candles.

The menu for the dinner contained
chicken salad, asparagus on _ toast,
celery,
| olives, hot rolls, charlotte russe, fruit-

cake and mints.

|potato chips, hot chocolate,

The happiness and excitement usual
at Christmas time filled the whole
atmosphere at this time, which was a
sort of climax to weeks of anticipa-
tion. Mrs. Finnell and Mrs. Davies
were thanked for their share in mak-|

ing the affair a success by serenades.
The faculty in the White House)
dining room delighted the students by |
beating them at their own game of
singing “Five More Days ’Til Vaca-|
tion”. In reply to “They Say that the|
Faculty Ain’t Got No Pep”, the oo]
ulty sang “They Say that the Stu-
dents Ain’t Got No Style”. The ae
that brought the most applause was:|

No Chicken At Sunday
Dinner Last Week

Near East Relief Fund
Receives Money

At the suggestion of Dr. McCain a
vote was taken to decide whether or
not the students would be willing to
do without part of some meal in order
to give the amount that would be thus
saved to the Near East Relief Fund.
The unanimous vote in favor of this
plan showed the desire of the student
body to some take part in help-

ing the starving people of the Near
East; and, as Lillian ‘McAlpine said,
so many of us are trying to reduce
that the plan was a great benefit to
us also.

On Sunday, December 16th, instead
of the regular Sunday dinner, there
was a simple but nourishing meal.
The dinner had been carefully planned
in order to give us the proper number
of calories since the usual Sunday
chicken was lacking. Some of the
girls were even heard to say that they
Greally enjoyed doing without chicken
‘}for one Sunday.

The exact amount saved by doing
without chicken and by having a
‘} nourishing but simple and inexpensive
dinner is not yet known. However,
it is hoped that the amount will be
Wlarge enough to mean a great deal to
our starving neighbors. The sum,
whether large or small, will be given
with the true spirit in which the girls
‘denied themselves for the sake of oth-

gers.

Beautiful White Christmas
Service Is Held In
Chapel On Sunday Night

The Y. W. White Christmas Service
is always lovely, and this year’s was

no exception. At this service we are
all filled with the true spirit of Christ-
mas, pure and white and shining.

On Sunday night, December 16, the
girls all went into the chapel to find
there a beautiful Christmas tree with

must send out a welcoming glow to
some lonely heart outside.

The choir filed softly in, all clothed
in white, and each girl carrying a
As they formed
a semi-circle around the tree soft
strains of a violin prelude by Miss
Pocohontas Wight were heard. The
notes of “Silent Night”, the silence of
the girls, and the white beauty of
everything made it easy to go back to
that “silent night” when Jesus was
born and to feel the deep thrill and
wonder of His birth.

Several Christmas carols were sung,
among them “First Noel” and “God
Rest Ye, Merrie Gentlemen”. Frances
Gilliland and Lillian McAlpine both
sang an appropriate selection. Their
songs assure the success of any ser-
vice since they both have unusually
sweet voices, and it was considered
especially lucky to have them sing.

Spot For Camp

At Stone Mountain

The Athletic Association
much elated over the prospects for a

is very

week-end camp. The other day when
| President Nancy Evans talked with
;Mr. Venable, she was all smiles; for
this generous man, who, as you know
is the owner of Stone Mountain, con-
sented to the setting up of a camp out
'there for all Agnes Scott girls.

All of the members of the Athletic
Board have been particularly active in
searching about for a suitable situa-
ition for this all famous camp-to-be.
And, now, the very spot has been se-
cured. We are told that it is acces-
sible by the bus and also the Stone
Mountain car. However, if one should
go via the bus, she would be taken
almost to the front door of the camp;
while if she should go on the Stone
Mountain car, she would have a nice
two mile hike between her and her

cherished goal.

Perhaps, if all goes well, the asso-
ciation can build the camp by spring
and have it ready for use then.

Christmas twice blessed to those who!
had a share in giving this happiness. |

Two Performances Of
Handel’s “Messiah” Given By
Agnes Scott Choral Society

Agnes Scott is not alone in appre-

ciating the musical talent on her

campus. Atlanta joins her in this, as
was attested by the large audience
present at the recent performance of
the “Messiah”, in Atlanta.

On December 13 the Agnes Scott
Choral Society, augmented by many
good voices from Emory, gave a per-
formance of Handel’s ““Messiah” at the
Wesley Memorial Church in Atlanta.
The soloists included Miss Margaret
Battle, soprano; Miss Strethel Wal-
ton, contralto; A. W. Browning, tenor;
H. R. Bates, basso, and Mr. Dieck-
mann, organist. The entire oratorio
was given under the direction of Mr.
Johnson. :

This performance was a notable
success, but not more so than was the
second rendition of this wonderful
oratorio, Sunday afternoon, December
16, in the Agnes Scott Chapel. The
solos were unusually good while the

caused the very hearts of the audience
to thrill with triumphant joy.

The “Messiah” the
finest oratorio ever written. When it

a musical gem. Agnes Scott is glad
that the Choral Society introduced the

We have been sharing here a joyful anticipation of the most
wonderful season of the year. There is no happier experience
than the moment when the nearness of Christmas time is first
realized. We have been thinking and talking about it since Sep-
tember. Then, suddenly and quite by chance, we see a little sprig
of holly on the sidewalk—and we know that it’s really coming
soon. We begin to glow in a quite unashamed and irrepressible
manner. We buy a red candle; and, though it’s far too early, we
place it in our room with a joyous quiver of excitement. We go to
the library and conscientiously ask for Division 1, Volume 2, Copy
17 of Schurer and sneak into some quiet corner and feast our
souls on “A Christmas Carol” or the “Gift of the Magi”. We are
silly, and we don’t care a bit for the spirit of Christmas is in the
very air that we breathe.

In their proper time come the things that best express the
many phases of the Yuletide—our first Christmas hymn in
chapel, the Christmas tree for Atlanta children, the candle-light
at the party in the dining room, the joyous voice of the carollers
coming to us out of the darkness, the inspiring music of Handel’s
“Messiah”, and the hushed beauty of the White Service. The
spirit of Christmas is a compound of varying emotions, and the
events of the past few weeks have touched us in many ways.

We wish you a merry Christmas. We hope that your windows
will have holly wreaths in them. We have already enjoyed much
of the Christmas season together; and we leave each other with
the words of Tiny Tim on our lips, “God bless us every one”.

THE JOYS OF TWO CHRIST-
MASES.

GOAL FOR RELIEF OF EURO-
PEAN STUDENTS REACHED.

Through an oversight the “Agonis-
tic” failed to publish in its last issue
the amount raised in the Student
Friendship Fund Campaign. The goal
of five hundred dollars was reached.
The Agnes Scott students proved
themselves to be generous in gifts to
those who are less fortunate than
themselves.

Agnes Scott students are peculiarly
fortunate individuals in many respects
that we have no time to mention. But
it is at Christmas that they realize
how much above the usual portion of
man they are blessed. In common
with the rest of the world, they have
the manifold delights of the Christ-
mas at home with families and friends
and Christmas trees and holly and
presents and fires and songs that
make Christmas the lovely thing it is.
In addition to having it, they have
the anticipation of having it which is
almost as happy a thing.

But it is the Christmas at Agnes
Scott that we wish to give thanks for
at this juncture. The Christmas din-
ner is not lacking; the tree is a part
of the general joy, for did not the
children supplied by the Associated
Charities have a glorious time Satur-
day afternoon? The music, which,
after all, is perhaps the most joyful
thing in Christmas celebration, has
been abundantly present; the Mes-
siah, the Vesper Service at Y. W. C.

The campaign was sponsored by
Hoase and Emmie Fichlen was chair-
man of the committee which did most
of the active work of the campaign.

A VISITOR ON THE CAMPUS.

Miss Julia Lake Skinner, a graduate
of Agnes Scott, was a weleome visitor
at the college last week. She has
many friends among the students here
who were glad to have her spend even
so short a time here. While at Agnes
Scott Miss Skinner was vice-president
of the Y. W. C. A., and recently she
has been attending White's Bible
School in New York. She has also
been Secretary for Young People’s

ALUMNAE HOUSE SCENE OF
LOVELY WEDDING RECEP-
TION.

On Wednesday evening the Alumnae

House was the scene of a lovely wed-
ding reception following the marriage
of Miss Emma Jones to Mr. Harwell
Fitzhugh Smith, of Montgomery, |
Alabama. Immediately after the cere-
mony the wedding party came to the
Alumnae House and, forming a re-

who called during the evening. Be

honor; Miss Isobel Randolph, the)
bride’s maid; Mr. Roy Jones; Mr.
Durr, of Montgomery; Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. Smith, the mothers of the bride |
and groom respectively.

The Alumnae House was beautifully
decorated for this occasion. In the
hall graceful vines hung from the
chandelier and were twined among}
the columns of the stairway.

DR. McCAIN EXHIBITS PLANS
FOR “GREATER AGNES
SCOTT.”

On last Thursday Dr. McCain show-
ed to the students, during chapel ex-
ercises, the plans which have been
made for the “Greater Agnes Scott.”
He explained something of the ideas
of the administration for the carry-
ing on of the work, and he said that
it was hoped that a beginning would
soon be made. After chapel the pic-
tures of the new buildings were placed
in the hall of Main so that they might
be examined at close range by the
students.

The plans for the new buildings and
campus improvements were made by
Ralph Adams Cram, America’s fore-
most architect. He has designed
buildings for Princeton and West-
hampton, besides those for other col-
leges.

Among the proposed improvements
aré an administration building, a
chapel, an auditorium and student
building, a power house, an open air
theatre, a gymnasium, a day student
building, new dormitories, and a com-
plete renovation of Main Building.

these weekly meetings,”

Mr. Smith is associated with a bank
of Montgomery, Ala., and to that city
the bride and groom have resorted, to
“live happy ever afterwards.”

Jones is one of our Agnes Scott girls.
She was secretary of the Alumnae As-
sociation up to the time of her mar-
riage, and even though she has not
been at Agnes Scott as a student, she
has been here in spirit and interest,
and has given the girls much assis-
tance in college activities since her
graduation.

The guests, including the faculty
and a few close friends of the honoree
called from 4:30 until 6:.00 In the re-
ceiving line were Miss Preston, Miss
Randolph, Miss Jones and Miss Durr.
Miss Preston was gowned in burnt
orange velour, Miss Randolph’s dress
was of white net, Miss Jones wore
blue georgette bedaed in bronze, and
Miss Durr’s costume was of black
satin.

pink and lavender sweet-peas and a
doll bridal party in the pastel shades.
Pink and white mints, and coffee and
sandwiches were served. It was a de-
lightful party, as it should have been
for this delightful member of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae.

of her ability along such lines, for she

The program was ended with a

away with the feeling that this was

‘Convention

Student Volunteers
In Indianapolis

Agnes Scott Sends
Six Delegates

The Quadrennial Convention of the
Student Volunteer Movement held in
Indianapolis, from December 28,
1923-January 1, 1924, inclusive, was
Hone of the great events of the year.
6,151 students were present, of which

ed and 368 foreign. The meetings of
the convention were held in Cable
Tabernacle and at each service the
hall was crowded. The Quadrennial
conventions are always intensely in-
teresting and vital, but this one, as
John R. Mott pointed out in his ad-

ing of Dec. 30, is the greatest of
all because “this is a generation in
the Day of the Lord.” Men and wom-
en today are more awake and keenly
alive to problems than ever before;
they are dissatisfied with the past
and present and are seeking after
reality and truth.

_ The Friday afternoon session, pre-
sided over and introduced by Mr.
Judd, was devoted to two lectures.
The first, an inspirational one, was
delivered by Rev. Stoddard E. Ken-
|nedy of London on the subject of
| “Be still and know that I am God.”
Religion, he said, is a retreat whith--
er we may flee and find that peace
and serenity which will come from
the habitual attitude of being still
before God. The second lecture was
by Paul Blanchard on “Modern In-
dustrialism,” in which he outlined
the evils of our modern industrial
“system and emphasized the need of
av industrial court whereby- employ-
ers “could be compelled to treat em-
ployees decently.” The social system
of today, he said, is a challenge to
the youth of today to find a remedy
for its evil.

On Friday night at 8 P. M. the
very interesting question of race re-
lations was discussed, The most vi-
tal aspect of this to Southern stu-
dents is, of course, the Negro Prob-
Iem. Dr. Willis King, of Atlanta,
Ga., gave as his solution for this
very real and pressing problem,
Jesus’ way of love—a love which
should recognize human personality
regardless of color, realize the con-
tribution of each race to mankind
and translate into every day living
the principle of indiscriminate broth-
erhood of man. Dr. Tsu, of Shang-
hai, China, and Paul Harrison of
Arabia, ‘discussed other aspects of
this great question and both agreed
in the elimination of the idea of race
superiority and the extension of cor-
dial fellowship to those of other
races as a step toward the solving of
the problem. Hon. Newton Rowell,
of Toronto, Canada, also gave an ad-
dress on “Christian Ideals and Inter-
national Relations,” in which he em-
phasized the necessity of a spirit of
co-operation and _ willingness to
serve.

Saturday morning, Canon Edward
Wood, of Cambridge, England, be-
gan his series of inspirational talks
one of which was to open each morn-
ing service through Tuesday and
which were to take up successively:
the nature of God; the nature of
Christ; the conflict between sin and
forgiveness in the life of man; the
nature of the Kingdom of God; and
the ways in which Jesus may work.

Saturday afternoon, Sherwood Ed-
dy discussed the social, industrial,
and racial unrest characterizing the
world today. He pointed out the rev-
olutions of youth against the old or-
der in Japan, Korea, and Europe.
Although America has vitally serious
evils, he continued, there is
Youth Movement in America. Why
not? On this same afternoon, Rob-
ert E. ‘Speer discussed the import-

_ance of the Missionary Enterprise,
‘in spreading the gospel of Jesus

Room In

To Agnes i Scott

Dedication Service On|Miss Gooch To Conduct A

Monday

At the suggestion of Hoase, the
Senior Class has arranged to make
of the former English room in the
Library, a memorial room dedicated
to Dr. J. D. M. Armistead, who for
seventeen years was head of the Eng-
lish department. It was hoped that
the plans might be completed and the
room opened for use by January 9,
which was Dr. Armistead’s birthday,
but it was not possible to do this and
consequently the room was opened on
Monday afternoon.

The Armistead Memorial Room
contains the library which was thé
gift of Dr. Armistead to the college.
These books are to be used just as any
others in the library, but they are to
be catalogued separately and are to
be marked with bookplates bearing
the Armistead coat of arms. The Sen-
lors, however, wished to make _ this
room different from the remainder of
the library and have endeavored to
give it the atmosphere of a reading
room rather than of a study hall.

New chairs and a new table have

| been placed in the room, and a brown! weeks before the
|rug has been bought for the floor.

A
picture of Dr. Armistead was given
by Mr. and Mrs. Dieckmann and oc-
cupies a place of honor. Pi Alpha
Phi’s gift to the room is a handsome
bronze tablet on which is the follow-
ing inscription:
DR. J. D. M. ARMISTEAD
January 9, 1871 April 30, 1923
Professor of English for seventeen
years
Founder of B. O. Z., Pi Alpha Phi,
and Gamma Tau Alpha

“We leaves a white unbroken glory,
a gathered radiance, a width, a shin-
ing peace under the night.”

The Seniors in furnishing this room
of the library, are only beginning a
memorial fund in honor of Dr. Armi-
stead. Each succeeding Senior class
is to contribute until a total of three
thousand dollars is paid. With this
money, lost books are to be replaced
and new ones are to be added until
the present collection is much increas-
ed. The Senior class and Hoase feel
there is no more fitting way in which
they may show love and admiration of
Dr. Armistead than in thus cherishing
his last gift to Agnes Scott.

Party Of Agnes Scott Girls
Through Europe This Summer

France, Germany, Italy, Switzer-
land, Holland, and the British
Isles to Be Visited.

Miss Gooch is going to conduct a
party of Agnes Scott girls and alum-
nae on a trip to Europe this sum-
mer. As this trip will be one of
the “Temple Tours” it will have the
advantages both of a private party
and of a party under the supervision
of a professional touring company.
Passage will be booked on the best
ocean liners, reservations made in
the best hotels and taxis, omnibusses
and guides provided in advance.
These preparations will do away
with many inconveniences of travel-
ing abroad. The total expenses will
be only one thousand dollars a per-
son.

The party will leave shortly after
school closes and return about two
| fall opening, thus
being in Europe almost three months.
Paris is the first city of great in-
terest to be visited, and the party
will be there a week of the ten days
that the international Olympie games
are held. After the treasures of
France have been viewed, they will
go to Germany, and if possible make
the Rhine trip. As this territory
is now that occupied by the French
there may be difficulties in the way.
At any rate, there is no obstacle to
going to Dresden where the world
famous “Sistine-Madonna” is on ex-
hibition. The trip also includes
Munich and Berlin. From Germany
the route continues to Holland, where
the art galleries are the chief at-
tractions, and from there to Italy.

England which is perhaps nearer
to Americans than any other Europ-
ean nation, is saved for the last. The
important cities and the “Lake
Country,” made famous by English
bards, will be visited, and from there
the party will go to Scotland. There
is a great treat in store here, for

| Are you rather confused with this
above conglomeration ?—don’t worry,
we are ourselves. But since you are
going to continue to be disconcerted
|for the next week, you may as well
| begin now, for clearness of mind is
|an attribute shockingly unknown to
| this particular time of the year.

Let us suppose, for instance, that
you begin the glorious celebration
with chemistry on the first day. Now
| we can discuss this fatal subject of
| chemistry coldly and cruelly (though
not without violent emotion) because
we struggled through it last year, If

ibe were taking the aforesaid bitter” 7

dose now, we would either be too

hardened against all mankind to dis

cuss it with you, or else too crushed
and vacant for utterance, But we di-
gress—the best thing to do in the case
of chemistry is to try not to study
| (for you surely will learn nothing,
pa what you do learn they will not
'ask) but rather try to coax your ig-
norant soul into “the arms of mor-
pheus.” Even then, you will not rest
peacefully but, even as we, have hor-
rid nightmares all about
where the raging waters are H2
S04 and the one island of safety,
glimpsed in the far-off unattainable
distance, is that green backed chemis-
try book—you, by the way, are con-
stantly flounding around in the H2
SO4 and, when you discover that you
have not only forgotten all the chem-
istry you knew, but have even forgot-
ten how to swim, you will sink des-
perately to the bottom, and wake up
with “that peculiar feeling.”

And then you finish chemistry, and
start on something else. So it con-
tinues, even unto the last day (if you
are unusually fortunate you will have
an exam then), and by this time yon,
too, will be eligible for participation
in our first theory—that exams and

and pleasure giving in that it is by
far more nerve-racking and harrow-
ing. This undue nervous strain will
result (if you are rotund) in sylph-
likeness of form, if you are slender,
in “The End.” But at least you will
not be bored, for what could be more
thrilling than the prospect of two
| weeks of unimpeded “browsing” unin-
terrupted by such evils as shows, trips
to Atlanta and such—so, in_ either
event, you may be as truly optimistic
as we are; for, if you pass out during
the ordeal, you will surely not have to
worry, whereas, if you should survive
(and few there be of this variety) you
can enjoy tooting your own horn (for
the faculty will hardly see their way
clear to helping you out). You will
even sit back in eager anticipation of
the next exams which, though they
may be of necessity coupled with the
dreadful thought of a vacation even
longer than Christmas, we assure you;

“ARE AMERICAN STUDENTS SPIRITLESS DUPES?”

Such is a question discussed in the “Literary Digest” for December 8,
1923.

and the “Agonistic” is printing part of the discussion in order to interest more

The article has raised a certain amount of controversy on the campus,

of our students in the subject:

“Intellectual docility, not a desire for intellectual freedom, characterizes
American college life, in the opinion of an outsider whose criticism, given on
request, is based on several months’ observation of our colleges and uni-
versities.

“That something is wrong is generally admitted, and the present un-
official observer hazards that the fault is intellectual and moral sloth, accom-
panied, here and there, by a factitious rebellion against some of the ancient
laws of Sinai. With his ‘naturally critical Scotch mind,’ it seems to the Rev.
A. Herbert Gray, formerly pastor of a wealthy Presbyterian church in Glas-
gow, that American college life is ‘to a terrible extent a distracted life.’
He visited this country at the request of the Y. M. C. A. David R. Porter,
chairman of the board of editors of The Intercollegian, asked him for his
impressions. Coming directly to the point, Dr. Gray continues:
“*Your students are strangely docile in mind. Everywhere else in the
world I find the rising generation in conscious and intense rebellion against |
the

conventions and methods of life and thought which dominated their

fathers, and which led the world to the present disaster. But young Ameri-

cans are not rebelling. They are eagerly getting ready to go on in the old
way. Morally, of course, many of them are rebels. (They are making the
same old attempt to discard the eternal moral laws which every generation
has made in its turn.) They grasp at what they call freedom, and, so doing,
make many heartbreaking mistakes in the way of sexual folly and general
dissipation. But intellectually they are docile. I found among them little
or none of that burning passion to discover a new way for mankind which is
the real hope of the world today. I was disappointed that they think so little
about the great political issues and that their thinking is so conventional.
“ ‘Hitherto I had believed that youth is universally the period of criticism. |
I do not know whether this state of matters is the cause or the product of the
paternalism which characterizes your institutions. In any case I deplore it.
A student should not be simply a person who believes what he is told. Anda
professor should not be simply a source of information—but one who pro-
yokes and challenges thought.’
“Summing up his impressions of American students in the mass, he writes:
“I thought them most lovable people. They are full of life and joy and
They are frank, good*to look at, and happy. They express their
abundant vitality in uncounted ways and live a many-sided life that is full of
charm of a kind. They have abundant good-will.

strange paralysis of the will. They often seem to lack the power to adopt |
a purpose and then follow it tenaciously and independently.’ ”

saving grace is being able to compare
notes and brag about how popular we
were during the holidays.

Perhaps you would like to hear a

most tragic tale I have to tell con-
cerns a Freshman from Gaines. She
thought she could get away with two-
timing a boy from the North and one
from the South. But by trick of fate
the lovesick youths met on the train

and caught up with her.

And speaking of trains—well, E.

ference with a Georgia boy in the day
coach, Can you imagine her getting
up at that hour to study?

Miss Isabelle Scobey left Wednesday

nine hours was thinking, “Oh, what a

truly no better way to enjoy the
Christmas holidays, than to prepare
the way for holiday pleasures by de-

world problems.

Saturday night, Mr. Hatenaka, of
Kobe, Japan, and Dr. Cheng, of the
National Council, of China, reviewed
the conditions in their respective
countries.

Sunday morning John R. Mott
made a stirring appeal for the com-
mitment of life to the great task
of carrying on God’s will and spread-
ing his love in this, the critical and
momentous era in the world’s his-
tory.

Sunday night, Prof. Yohan Masik,
of India, Prof. Kinsley Berge of
Smyrna, and Dr. Paul Harrison, of
Arabia, discussed conditions, oppor-
tunities, and the necessary mission-
‘ary methods in their own particular

The page of the “Blues” contain-

This well-organized paper is to
be congratulated upon its second

many happy returns of the day.” It
is extraordinary for so young a
weekly to attain such a high degree
of excellency.

The Christmas number of the Blue

enough to cheer one thru all the

FRANCES GILLILAND NEW
SOLOIST AT SAINT MARK’S

Frances Gilliland has accepted a
position as contralto soloist in the
quartet choir of Saint Mark’s Metho-
dist church in Atlanta. St. Mark’s
is one of the largest churches in At-
lanta and Frances is honored by re-
ceiving the position. She has an un-
usually beautiful voice and sings
with charm and sweetness, For the
past two years she has been soloist
in the choir of St. Philip’s Cathedral
in Atlanta.

divided into groups and discussed
such vital problems of the world as
war, and race relations. In one dis-
cussion group, there were represen-
tatives of both colored and white
students to discuss together the race
problem, and some definite resolu-
|tions were drawn up for its solution.
These resolutions included such ree-
ommendations as: elimination of the
white superiority complex, greater
study into the reasons for race pre-
judice, and press propaganda against
race prejudice. War was agreed in-
jurious to mankind, and in a vote as
to the methods to be used against
war, the large majority of the stu-
jdents favored some form of World
Court. The next largest majority
favored a system of education
against war.

At the closing session of the con-
ference, Robert P. Wilder, founder
of the Student Volunteer Movement
presided. Mr. Tagore Daas, of Pun-
jab, India, and Mr. Chung, of China,
told what Christ has meant to them
and their people. Professor Latour-
ette, of Yale, and several student
speakers gave their conception of the
ideal missionary’s attitude and qual-
ifications and reasons for going out,

Thus was ended one of the great-
est forces for Christianity and espec-
ially International Christianity that
has occurred recently. The Agnes
Seott students who had the privilege
of taking part in this great epoch-
making conference were: Dell Bern-

also there. Agnes Scott is sure that

“Horrors—but let me tell you what
he told me,”

“But, you haven’t a thing on me. I
was there when it happened and saw
everything.”

“Oh, I never was so sleepy! I’ve
just had the most marvelous time!”

“To think they’re all over! I’m just

Suspicious! Yes, this is; but it is
only a part of what you would have
heard if you had been in the day stu-

memorable fourth and heard the ex-
cited chatter of these Hottentots. It
was a thrill that comes onee in a life-
time to have December 19th roll
around, but the thrill ran the wrong
way when two weeks and two days
later we had to be on time for the per-
petual eight o’clocks.

Now the prospect of exams looms
up before us. They are like the poor
—they are with us always. But there
are some of us who are just entirely
too lucky—when we think that Mar-
tha Eakes only has four to take and
others of us struggling mortals have
six and seven. Then the great artist
of the day students has no exams to
take, and has another two weeks’ va-
cation. It sounds like a fairy story.

We are not inquisitive, of course,
but just for fun we would like to know
why one member of the street car
troup is always singing “Song of
Love” with a dreamy expression on
her rapt countenance? She can be
excused, of course, when you see the
new article of jewelry she is wearing
but we cannot help feeling sorry when
we learn that it is not from Atlanta.

terrible about one of us, but don’t ask
her what it is. She might remember

Bthat the students of Agnes Scott as-

sembled in the gymnasium on Sat-
urday night, January 19, to celebrate

an occasion very dear to their hearts |

—the ending of mid-year examina-
tions. The Seniors, wise with the
accumulated experience of seven
times, were the originators of this
happy thought. For the first time
in two weeks, and the last time for
many more, everyone could be abso-
lutely carefree. Next semester’s

there was still some hope

because all the grades had not been
turned in—in short, the setting was
absolutely perfect for a gay, good
time.

And a gay, good time the Seniors
furnished. Dancing was the first
event on the program and after that

upon the scene. Several cases were
upon the docket, but these all were

postponed before the event of the
evening. A wedding between Miss
Mid-Year and Mr. Cram. It was

a most elegant affair. Tasteful mats,
direct from the gymnasium, carpeted
the aisle. Mr. Coca-Cola Bottle
(Sallie Horton) and Mr. Coffee (Jos-

The flower girl, Miss Notes (Mar-
garet Powell) prepared the way for
the unusually brazen and unblushing
bride (Martha Eakes), who was at-
tended by Miss Tests (Mary Mob-

true love seemed to be running ex-

guests were startled by the sen-
Sational appearance of June Exams

words “This is my husband, and these

flung herself into the arms of Mr.

Freshman Officers For

Second Semester

Norfleet Is President Again

Ship ahoy!

‘The Freshman Ship of State sets
sail for the new term under flying
colors with able pilots at her helm.

At the class meeting held Monday,
the twenty-eighth, in the chapel, the
former officers were re-elected:
Elizabeth Norfleet, as president;
Elizabeth Clark, vice-president; Sarah
Shields, secretary and _ treasurer.
These officers have admirably ful-
filled their positions during the past
term, and undoubtedly the coming
term will be just as successful for
them.

Elizabeth Lynn was elected as the
Freshman representative to the Ath-
letie Council. Elizabeth is a mem-
ber of Freshman basketball team and
greatly interested in all athletics.
We are confident she will ably rep-
resent us.

At @ previous meeting of the class
Virginia Sevier and Elsa Jacobsen

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1924

Bok Peace
Plan Presented
In Chapel

Dorthy Keith, Daisy F. Smith
And Pocahontas Wight
Discuss Plan

The students have been very much
interested recently in the outcome
of an offer of a prize for the best
peace plan made by Mr. Edward
W. Bok, a native of Holland and
editor of the Ladies Home
Journal, who became interested in
the promotion of international peace.

On Tuesday morning the Interna-
tional Relations Club arranged a dis-
eussion of this plan. Dorothy Keith
made a short talk in which she out-
lined the Bok Peace Plan and gave
its most salient features. On Wed-

nesday morning Pocahontas Wight
and Daisy Frances Smith debated
for a short time the merits and

deficiencies of the plan.

Last July Mr. Bok offered a prize
to the American citizen who should
present “the best practical plan by
which the United States may co-op-
erate with other nations to achieve
and preserve the peace of the world.
The author of the plan was to be
awarded $50,000 when the Jury of
Awards accepted it and $50,000 more
if the people of the United States
and the Senate ratified it.

The plans submitted were to be
judged by two committees—the Pol-
icy. Committee and the Jury of
Awards, which aré composed of some
of the most prominent men and wo-
men in America.

John W. Davis, a prominent demo-
erat and possible candidate for the
presidency in 1924, and ambassador
to England during the Wilson ad-
ministration, is chairman of the Pol-
ics. Committee.

The Jury of Awards has seven
members with Elihu Root, of New
York, as chairman. Mr. Root and
his widely known work and honors
jneeded no introduction to the stu-
|dents of Agnes Scott. Others serv-
ing on this committee were Gen.

|James Harbord, of Illinois, Col. Ed-
|ward House, of Texas; Roscoe Pound,
of Massachusetts; Ellen Fitz Pendle-
jton, of Massachusetts; Willian Allen
White, of Kansas, and Brand Whit-
lock, of Ohio.

At first it was thought best to
withhold the names of the winners,
but a few days ago it was announced
that Mr. and Mrs. DuPuy, of Wash-

ington, were the winners. Their
plan proposes:
(1) “The United States accepts

the League of Nations as an instru-
ment of mutual counsel, but it will
assume no obligation to interfere
with political questions of policy or
internal administration of any for-
eign state.”

(2) “The United States proposes
that moral judgment and _ public
opinion be substituted for force.”

(8) “The United States will as-
sume no obligations under the Ver-
sailles Treaty.”

(4) “The United States proposes
that admission be assured to any
self-governing state.”

(5) “The continuing development
of international law must be provid-
ed for.”

Dr. Ashby Jones said, “The pro-
posal made by the Bok Peace Plan
is different from the proposal which
was before the Senate and in a meas-
ure before the people of the United
States in the last presidential elec-
tion. In this proposal we are not
asked to become a member nation
of the League but that under cer-
tain conditions named by ourselves,
we shall co-operate with the League
in preserving peace and stabilizing
the world.”

The students of Agnes Scott were
asked to vote on this plan, consider-
ing whether the “United States shall
co-operate with the other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of
the world and if so, is this the best
practicable plan.” The outcome of
the vote was a majority in favor of
the plan.

No. 10

Lecture On Moliere
By Mr. Ellsworth

Illustrated Talk On
February 18 In Chapel

Agnes Scott is to have the priv-
ilege of hearing another great lect-
urer, Mr, William Webster Ellsworth,
on February 18th. He is: brought
here under the auspices of the Lect-
ure Association. The. subject of his
lecture will be ‘Moliere and His
Times”, and it will be illustrated
with stereopticon pictures, many of
which are in color.

Mr Ellsworth was with the Century
Company for thirty-seven years, re-
tiring recently as its president. He
is the author of “A Golden Age of

| Authors”, and is now a_ well-known

lecturer, especially to colleges and to
Institutions of learning. Three of
his lectures which are most enjoyed
by colleges are “Moliere and His
Times”, “The Writing Game’, “The
New Poetry.”

The lecture “Moliere
Times” is extremely interesting to
all students and it is invaluable to
those who are studying French lit-
erature and the drama. In it he
gives the difference between Shakes-
peare and Moliere, reconstructing the
Paris of Moliere’s youth, its streets,
its Latin quarters, its theatres. With
the use of the theatre-models in the
Dramatic Museum at Columbia Uni-
Versity, Shakespeare’s theatres as
well as Moliere’s are shown, and the
stage settings of the Miracle Plays
which preceded them both. Extracts
of Moliere’s plays, in English ‘trans-
lations, are read and are illustrated
by beautiful French etchings. He has

and His

a remarkable collection of effective
illustrations, old French prints,
water-colors and portraits which
present Paris and France before
Louis XIV.

Wherever this lecture has beer
given it has been received with

greatest interest and satisfaction. It
brings to us not merely the history,
but the personality and a vivid pic-
ture of the great French playwright.
After hearing Mr. Ellsworth, Pro-
fessor Thompson, of the University
of Idaho, said “I feel that the in-
tellectual life of the university is the
richer by reason of his having been
here.”

Mr. Ellsworth is now making a
lecture tour through the South At-
lantic States, and Agnes Seott is
very fortunate in being one of the
colleges which he will visit.

I believe Mary Kirkpatrick and I
both received our earliest literary
inspiration from Miss McKinney, head
of the English Department of Agnes
Seott.” It is through Miss McKin-
ney’s efforts that Miss Kirkpatrick
came into professional relations with
Miss Stephens, and the latter, ac-
knowledging her obligations, has ded-
icated “Roseanne” to Miss McKinney.
“Roseanne” is the first serious dra-
matic portrayal of negro life as it
really is, with the possible excep-
tion of “Emperor Jones.” It is an
emotional study of the negro’s life
as shown in his ordinary pursuits
and especially in his religion. Rose-
anne, the heroine of the play, has
two passions: her sister Leola and
the preacher of Mt. Zion Church,
Cicero Brown. Cicero wrongs Leola
and causes her death. Roseanne, all
vengeance, denounces the preacher
at a revival, but later forgives him,
and hides him from his pursuers.

As an artistic masterpiece and a
pioneer in its line, “Roseanne” has
drawn much favorable criticism.
Burns Mantle has called it an “in-
spiring triumph for the American
theatre,” and Alexander Woolleott
has said that it “must be listed
among the playgoer’s necessities.”

On the night of the opening pre-
sentation of “Roseanne,” Misses
Stephens and Kirkpatrick were pre-
sented with a beautiful basket of
flowers as a tribute from Agnes
Scott.

Dr. Herbert Gray’s article, published in this column in our last
issue, criticised the American student, among other things, for
his ignorance of the great political issues of the day. And not
only for ignorance but for a lack of discrimination in determining
the value of facts published in newspapers. We do not attempt
to discuss all the phases of Dr. Gray’s arraignment, but we wish
to say a few words concerning the truth of the preceding state-
ment as judged from the attitude of the students at Agnes Scott.
We are sure that there are other colleges in which like conditions
prevail, but we speak only of our own college.

There is far too little interest in public affairs among the
students here. Those who read daily newspapers with any degree
of care are in a sad minority. We venture to say that there are
not over a hundred students who are truly well informed as to
public affairs. It is our own fault. Present day conditions can
be taught to some extent, but the classroom is not the place for
students to learn these things. The only way to acquire an intel-
ligent understanding of a political situation is by careful and con-
stant reading. Newspapers do not afford the only information
available. They give the mere outlines, and it is necessary to
verify and interpret the facts printed in them. she most promi-
nent men in American public life are contributors to the mag-
azines of this country, and their articles may always be obtained
with ease. There is, in fact, no reason why college students cannot
become familiar with political movements and questions of world
interest.

Another great fault with our students is the fact that even
though they may have some knowledge of present problems these
topics form an exceedingly small part of the conversation of the
campus. The college girl, it would seem, by a kind of tacit
understanding with her acquaintances, refrains from a discussion
of such issues. She either fears being thought an “intellectual”,
or she realizes that she will receive at best only a lukewarm
response. She is not afraid to talk of plays or books, but she
hesitates to mention political problems. The great benefit derived
from a thoughtful exchange of ideas is denied in this field.

Naturally such an attitude should be corrected, and some start
must be made. Last week several chapel exercises were devoted
to a discussion of the Bok Peace Plan. This is among the most}
important matters before our country today, and creation of an
interest in it will lead to the creation of a multiplicity of interests
in allied subjects. Then, the intercollegiate debates are drawing
near. This always exciting period will become doubly so if one
is really able to hear the debates in an appreciative frame of mind.
Now is the accepted time for each of us to improve her knowledge
of national and international affairs and to awaken a real interest
in the important developments of our time.

Armistead Memorial Faculty Impersonated

Reading Room
Dedicated

Tablet Given By Pi Alpha
Phi Unveiled

The Armistead Memorial Reading | Gjass

Room was: dedicated and opened in
a very lovely and impressive service
Monday afternoon, January 21. The
simple ceremony took place in the
main reading room of the library.
The members of the senior class in
caps and gowns were in charge of
the service, over which Miss Beulah
Davidson, president of Hoase, pre-
sided.

In a few appropriate sentences she|
told how utterly inadequate were
words in describing the place that
Dr. Armistead filled and fills in our
hearts. The reading room, she said,
was only an attempt to embody a

have for him.

Miss Davidson then introduced Dr.
McCain, who spoke briefly, but ad-
equately, and with his own peculiar
gift for saying the satisfying thing,
upon Dr. Armistead’s most outstand-
ingly admirable characteristics. As|
a man, the highest praise that Dr.
McCain could offer was that every
child loved him; as a citizen, his
opinion was respected and his ideals
were high; as a Sunday School teach-
er, he was a success; as a member of
the faculty and an officer of the col-
lege, he was utterly loyal and fair-
minded, totally without jealousy or

intolerance, willing and able to see
another’s viewpoint, working always
for the advancement of the college
in every sort of way, especially with
reference to standard of work and
curriculum.

Miss Janef Preston then spoke in
behalf of the Alumnae, of Dr. Armi-
stead’s inestimable value as a friend.
She said that so much of college one
forgets; but that personalities like
his cannot fail to live within us long
after we see them no more. Miss
Preston’s talk was beautifully and
feelingly phrased, and very gratify-
ing to all who had known Dr. Armi-
stead as a friend.

Miss Daisy Frances Smith, presi-
dent of Pi Alpha Phi, then spoke as
a representative of the students, with
Dr. Armistead’s enviable position as
teacher, friendly adviser and _ inter-
ested director of student activity as
her theme. He was the “Patron
Saint” of B. O. Z.; the founder and
inspiration of Pi Alpha Phi. Above
all he was the living exemplification
of the “sweetness and light” which
he diffused in the class room and in
his every relationship.

Miss Smith then led the way to the
reading room and unveiled the beau-
tiful bronze tablet, the gift of Pi
Alpha Phi. After the unveiling, the
students and faculty present sang
the “Alma Mater”, which brought
the exercises to a close.

furnished by the senior class, Hoase,

Amusing Entertainment Given
By Senior Class

On Wednesday night the Senior
presented an entertaining
“stunt” in which the members of the
faculty were impersonated in a high-
ly realistic and amusing fashion.
The scene was a faculty meeting in
which the health and happiness of

| the students were discussed. Mr.

Tart, of course, arrived first and cre-
ated a great uproar because the oth-
ers were almost half a minute late.
Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney arrived
on the scene soon and were able to
calm his agitated spirits. Then came
all the “old familiar faces’; Miss
Gooch, Mrs. Sydenstricker, Mr. Holt,
Dr. Salyer, Miss Dexter and Miss
Smith. The last named was slightly
late because of a date with her Vir-
gil, but all went well from this point.

Dr. Sweet called the meeting to

HEALTH CONTEST CAKES,

Talking about records — Agnes’
Scott certainly made a wonderful’
record in the contest held here dur-
ing exam weeks. The purpose of the)
contest was to keep up the health
standards during the weeks when we
were so tempted to “wander from|
the straight and narrow path”, to
stay up half the night, go without
meals, and become generally lazy.
The plan of the contest was that
every table which made 100% every
day for the two weeks should get a
cake. Each girl who was present
at -every meal had an hour’s exer-|
cise, and slept eight hours, counted
10% for each day. This seemed an)
almost impossible record to make,
and yet there were ten 100% tables
—six in Rebekah Scott Dining Room
and four in White House. The sen-
iors, whose tables won the reward,|
were Lillian McAlpine, Emmie Fick-|
len, Selma Gordon, Frances Myers,
Cora Morton, Elizabeth Riviere, Mary
Mann, Frances Amis, Barron Hyatt,|
and Cora Richardson. Each of these
fortunate tables received a wonder-
ful cake which was baked in the tea-|
room. Oh! how good they tasted!

The Student Volunteer
Conference of the Georgia colleges
is to be at Wesleyan this year, from
the 8th to the 10th of February.
The purpose of this year’s confer-
ence will be “to bring together the
Student Volunteers and other Chris-
tian students of Georgia interested
in

Annual

missions, where they may con-

sider the needs of the non-Christian
world and their personal relation to
the foreign missionary enterprise.”
This is to be largely an echo-meet-
ing of the International Convention

at Indianapolis, so there will cer-

tainly be no lack of interesting ma-
terial and prominent speakers.

All those who went to the con-
ference at Brenauv last year will be
sure not to miss this one, and the
girls who have heard about it will
want to go to find out what it’s like.
Besides the wonderful inspiration of
seeing real “peppy” girls and boys
with such a clear, absorbing pur-
pose in life, and the world-vision
gained by talking with men and
women from many mission fields,
there’s the fun of getting acquainted
and being entertained in another
college. In between sessions, there is
always time for a banquet, or a trip
of exploration around Macon. And
they say Macon is a mighty nice
place to visit! At any rate, it will
be well worth the time and money
to any girl who can possibly go.

The new semester’s Y. W. Services
were well started by an Introductory
talk by Eugenia Thompson. She very
interestingly presented the new theme
“Our Doorways to Christ,” which is
to be carried out in the services for
the rest of the year. On the fol-
lowing Sunday night, Frances Bitzer
discussed the first of our “doorways”,
Prayer, showing its significance in
the life of every individual, and em-
phasizing the importance of keeping
this doorway always open by con-
stant communion with God. Other
“doorways,” which will be considered
in other services, are Obedience,
Hope, Love, Comradeship and Hap-
piness.

Two “special features” will be of-
fered in the not very dim future.
Brenau is to send representatives to
talk to us on one Sunday night; we
all know that means a big crowd and
interesting talks. The Tech boys are
to take up another night, ditto, big
crowd, with additions!

Five Minutes From Agnes Scott

Vol. IX

Are Completed By
White’s Studio

———

Pictures of Students, Fac-
ulty, Campus Made

The first step in the Midyear Dis-
illusionment is past. Agnes Scott
completed that fatal, final and ir-
revocable preliminaries to the dread
task of seeing herself as others see
her. She has been having her pic-
ture taken for the Silhouette, and
now there only remains the con-
eluding ordeal of seeing the proofs.

The Annual Disillusionment war-
wants its name in more ways than
one. The editors, who formerly had
a fairly affectionate and friendly at-
titude toward their fellow students,
have found that it requires only the
acid test of pieture-taking to disinte-
grate their rose-colored glasses.
This world has been divided into
three classes of people: Those Who
Do Not Sign Up for Pictures, Those
Who Do Not Keep Their Appoint-
ment for Pictures, Those Who Both
Sign Up, Come Up and Pay Up, and
the latter class they have have found
bitterly in the minority.

For the students in general, we will

only say that the disillusioning pro-
cess has barely just begun. To find
that one must smile, actually smile
and look one’s best—not in the pleas-
fant surroundings of a parlor with
soft shaded lights and beautiful pic-
tures, but with the Vertebrates and
Mollusks of the Biology Lab. as com-
pany, with a skeleton grinning down
at one while the photographer com-
mands, “Look pleasant, please!’’—all
this was catastrophic, but it will be
as nothing compared to the shock on
seeing the outcome of one’s endeav-
ors to struggle against this environ-
ment.
And for the photographer. It was
merely a confirmation of his already
established disillusionment concerning
Girls. The process of taking many
photographs has woefully enabled
him to see the multitudinous devices
necessary to cover up the distasteful
blemishes. And doubtless he could
reyeal much more of the bitter dis-
jllusionment if he would speak for
himself.

And yet—in spite of it all, the pic-
tures have been completed. Mr.
Gutkaiss, representing White's Stu-
dio, of New York, has worked faith-
fully, patiently and—we earnestly

Miss Martha McIntosh,
Graduate of Last Year,
Will Be Married in
March

Glancing through the pages of a
Hate Sunday American, we gazed with
much interest and some astonishment
at a large photo of an old Agnes
§Scott girl, over which was printed:
“Engagement Announced.” In the
f Atlanta Journal we saw the same
thing. Well, we thought, another
one of us caught in the bonds of
matrimony, and so soon, too, after
leaving our fold.

In other words, Miss Martha Mc-
Intosh, ’23, of Albany, Ga., has an-
nounced her engagement to Mr.
George Walker Nall. The wedding
will take place in March, and it will
truly be an Agnes Scott affair, since,
besides the bride, quite a number of
her attendants are alumnae of our
college. Among these are Miss Mar-
garet Wood, ’25, the maid of honor,
Hand Martha’s sophomore sister; Miss
Lucile Little and Myrtle Murphy,
both ’23, and Miss Martha Ballard,
ex. ’23.

Martha was a popular student dur-
ing her stay at Agnes Scott, as well
as being a member of B. O. Z. and
the art editor of the “Silhouette”,
723. We congratulate Mr. Nall, and
Awish for her all luck on this new
venture.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1924

Junior Class Presents
Motion Picture

‘Macbeth’ In Chapel

Satisfying Presentation of
Shakespeare’s Drama

The Junior Class on last Saturday
night provided entertainment for the
eollege community by presenting a
motion picture, “Macbeth,” starring
the famous actor, Sir Herbert Beer-
hohm Tree.

Shakespeare wrote “Macbeth,” one
of his greatest tragedies, to be play-
ed as a spoken drama because play
writing proved the most natural out-
let for his ability to harness words
into speeches which were to live
through all ages. In the course of
years, spoken drama has shared its
laurels of popularity with the silent
drama. We can not think that either
will ever supersede the other because
each embodies possibilities which the
other lacks. Without changing the
plot in the least “Macbeth” was
transplanted to the screen to reap
the additional benefits offered in
scenic effects.

Last Saturday night the Hotten-
tots were led into the midst of these
effective scenic effects—right into
the presence of the three witches
with the elements displaying their
disapproval of the meeting. The ef-
fect was so realistic that shudders
were heard through the audience as
responses to the right of the light-
ning, the wind, the ee hags and
their works. The life conditions
of the time were effectively portray-
ed, the banquets, the royal train and
the hospitality of the lords. The
many murders were accomplished by
blood curdling scenes of good acting.
By the facial expressions of Mac-
beth and Lady Macbeth the audience
saw into the very heart of their
sufferings from conscience and ap-
prehension. The touching scene of
the death of Lady McDuff and her
children was well carried out.

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree played
his part of Macbeth in accordance
with his fame as an actor. In all,
the students were very favorably

Miss Goodson, Student Vol-
unteer Secretary, Leads
Prayer Service

At our prayer service on Monday
night, Feb. 4, Agnes Scott had the
opportunity of hearing Miss Oma
Goodson, of G. S. ©. Besides being
the traveling secretary of the Stu-
dent Volunteers of Georgia, Miss
Goodson had the honor of being a
member of the Yonkers Council of
1923, which is a national organiza-
tion.

In her talk, Miss Goodson told the
story of Joseph, the harp-maker.
As a present for the king, Joseph
made a harp which he prayed would
sing God’s praises. The king was
so delighted with his gift that he
gave money to Joseph for another
harp. Joseph, however, wanted this
harp to sing his own praises; and
when a great harpist whom the king
had obtained to play it, performed
before thé king with this second harp
of Joseph’s, it gave forth only dis-
cords. The infuriated king sent
Joseph to prison, but Joseph’s wife
took his tool chest to his cell where
he made another harp like the first.
When Joseph was taken to the court
to be tried, he played on this new
harp, which so pleased the king that
Joseph was freed.

In closing, Miss Goodson quoted
the following poem, which carried

out her application of the story
which was: “Are you willing that
your life will sing God’s praises

Pictures For “‘Silhouette’’| Mir. Dubose Heyward, South Carolina Poet,
Makes Delightful Lecture At Agnes Scott

Poetry Club Entertains Dis--Georgia Student

tinguished Visitor

One of the most interesting and
enjoyable events of the year was Mr.
Dubose Heyward’s lecture on the
poetry movement in the South,
which was given in the chapel on
Monday evening, February 11. Mr.
Heyward was already well known at
Agnes Scott first through his pub-
lished poetry and then on account of
the fact that last year he kindly
consented to act as a judge in choos-
ing the best lyric produced in the
Agnes Scott Poetry Club. A fur-
ther and more personal acquaintance
with the South Carolina poet in-
creased the already high regard of
Agnes Scott for him.

Before beginning his lecture proper
Mr. Heyward said that he was glad
to be the guest of the college for he
felt a great interest in it and es-
pecially in the Poetry Club. He
then spoke very highly of the work
of Elizabeth Cheatham, who is a
member of that organization. Her
poem, “Mood”, which received first
prize in the contest mentioned above,
was, he said, the only piece of work
by a student which was included in
the Year Book of the South Caro-
lina Poetry Society for 1923. Every-
body at Agnes Scott was gratified at
the praise given Miss Cheatham on
this occasion.

Mr. Heyward then told his hearers
something about the poetry move-
ment in the South, which, since the
time of the War Between the States,
has been well-nigh unproductive of
any literary work of real worth.
There is now~*a distinct movement in
the South, said Mr. Heyward, which
is the expression of a newly awaken-
ed interest in the world of letters.
The Poetry Society of Charleston,
South Carolina, is the leader. The
aim’ of this organization is to create
an intelligent and sympathetic read-
ing public and, then, to encourage
the production of literature.

BE A REPORTER ON THE
AGONISTIC.

This semester the Agonistic
asks that each student at Agnes
Scott co-operate with the staff,
so that the Agonistic may be
worthy of Agnes Scott in every
way.

The Agonistic needs many new
reporters. We are deeply grate-
ful to those students who have
written both faithfully and -ef-
ficiently throughout the first se-
mester, but we feel that the
work is falling too heavily on a
few girls, and so this term the
Agonistic wants every one to do
her part.

Do you realize that is
through our publications, the
Agonistic and the Aurora, that
Agnes Seott is linked with the

it

other colleges and universities

of the South and East? Each
week we exchange papers with
them. Their paper is the stand-
ard by which we judge their col-
lege. Agnes Scott is judged by
those colleges by the Agonistic
and the Aurora. Won’t you do
your part that we may be proud
of our record?

The Agonistic wants to be a
paper in which every student
here has a part and which she
feels is her paper and one which
she will be proud to call her col-
lege’s.

We need the help of every stu-
dent here as a reporter. Won't
you offer your assistance now?
Then, the Agonistic will be the
paper published by the students
of Agnes Scott with every stu-
dent doing her part.

Volunteer Conference

Held At Wesleyan

Large Number ‘of Agnes Scott
Students Attend

The Georgia Student Volunteer
Union held its annual Conference at
Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga., Feb.
8 to 10. The purpose of this con-
ference was to bring together the
Student Volunteers and other Chris-
tian students of Georgia interested in
missions, where they might consider
the needs of the non-Christian world
and their personal relation to the
foreign missionary enterprise. Many
prominent student leaders were there,
as well as representative speakers,
including ten returned missionaries.
Among the best known speakers were
Mrs. Motte Martin, a missionary to
the Congo, who gave a most inter-
esting talk here in the fall; Mr, L.
S. Cottrell, Traveling Secretary of
the Student Volunteer movement, and
Mr. Frank Brockman, missionary to
China.

One of the most striking features
of the Conference was the holding
of discussion groups along the same
lines as those held at Indianapolis.
The Indianapolis posters were there
and a luncheon was given for all
those who went to Indianapolis. Other
social events took place on Friday
night and Saturday afternoon. The
delegates were given opportunities
for personal interviews with the Con-
ference leaders. }

Over three hundred and itty: stu-
dents representing all the colleges
in the state were present. A special
Student Volunteer train leaving At-
lanta Friday at 2:30 P.M. took most
of the delegates from this part ot
the state to Macon. Agnes Scott
sent a large delegation, and those
who attended this Conference are:
Nonie Peck, Victoria Howie, Frances
Lincoln, Lillian McAlpine, Cora Mor-
ton, Evelyn Eastman, Margery
Speake, Frances Gardner, Elizabeth
Askew, Eleanore Allbright, Blanche

Berry, Martha Eakes, Agnes Dinwid-
die, Olivia Swann, Annie W. Terry,

Dr. Shelton Lectures On
Archeology Under Aus-
pices of Bible Club

Dr. W.-A. Shelton, professor of
Old Testament literature at Emory

University, and also a prominent
archeologist, delivered a lecture at
Agnes Scott on Monday, February

4th. Dr. Shelton was sponsored in
this lecture by the Bible Club, which
has some outside speaker at each of
its meetings.

The lecture was one of the best
we have ever had on the subject of
archeology in the Holy Land and
adjacent countries. Dr. Shelton is
a very attractive speaker and indulg-
ed in many witticisms of a personal
nature during his lecture, which he
illustrated with’ slides of his own
taking. Instead of merely the usual
cut and dried descriptions of the na-
ture of the actual work itself, Dr.
Shelton gave us the actual events of
his trip—his very narrow escape from
death at Arab hands, his difficulty
in climbing a pyramid, his amusing
conclusions about Egyptian guides,
in short all of the experiences which
would naturally come to one on
such a trip, and which few speakers
would naturally choose to tell, but
side-lights which not only pleased
his audience, but which made the
more serious side of his lecture even
more prominent than it would have
otherwise been.

There were pictures of Egypt, Pal-
estine, Mesopotamia, Babylon — all

Mercer Glee Club Gives
Program In Atlanta
On February 4

—_———_.

Agnes Scott Glee Club En-
joys Musical Event

The Mercer Glee Club, on _ its
eighteenth annual tour, appeared at
the Atlanta Theater Monday night,
February 4. If anything, Mercer
surpassed, this year, its usual excel-
lent productions. The program was
extremely good and presented in 2
finished manner that would have done
credit to professionals. In fact the
whole show was very professional,
as they carried their own scenery
and also appeared in costume. There
were also separate stage settings for
each of the three parts.

The first scene represented the
lawn of Mt. Vernon and the mem-
bers of the club were dressed in old-
fashioned suits of orange satin
trimmed in black and all wore stately
white wigs. The act proceeded by
giving a snappy bit of minstrelsy
that completely won the audience.

The second act opened with a club
“ensemble” in full dress with an
artistic setting of hangings in Mer-
cer black and gold. Probably the
feature of this act was the jazz or-
chestra—“Kight Kings of Rhythm’—
who were encored again and again.

The last scene, a humorous little
skit, presented in delightful manner,
closed a program full of pep and
“go”.

Mercer is to be congratulated on
her Glee Club and too much credit
cannot be given to each and every
member of the group.

The program in full follows:

NEW SILVER GIVEN ALUMNAE
HOUSE BY MRS. YOUNG
AND MRS. EAGAN,

Although most of us on the campus
did not know Miss Anna Young, we
realize that she must have been dear
to the hearts of former Agnes Scott
girls who are now our Alumnae.
The Anna Young Alumnae House
which they have lovingly dedicated to
her as a memoria] is a very fitting
tribute of their admiration, respect,
and love.

As we are told of the great part
Miss Anna has had in the growth of
the present ideals and aspirations of
Agnes Scott a kindred feeling of
reverence and veneration creeps into
our hearts for one who has done so

THE BUDGET.

There is still another way in which every girl at Agnes Scott
ean have a part and that is to pay her part of the budget promptly
and cheerfully. The spirit and co-operation of every student was
splendid during the collecting of the first semester. A hundred
per cent of the boarders and the majority of the day students paid
promptly.

Of course we realize that every college girl has many calls
for money, but the budget is necessary to finance the different
organizations on the campus. Your fifteen dollars first goes to
the support of student government. This means that a girl must
pay her budget before she can use the telephones—for student
government pays for them. She must also pay her budget before
she can hold any office or stand for any office. . J

Second, the budget makes possible for us an annual. With
this year’s staff we know that the Silhouette will be well worth
having.

Third, the budget pays the expense of sending our intercol-
legiate debaters to Randolph Macon ar Sophie Newcomb, and of
entertaining the visiting debaters.

Were it not for the budget, May Day would be impossible.

It has been reported that the Athletic Council has made
plans for a camp near Stone Mountain. Everyone may go on
this camp for a week-end. The letters and numerals the class
athletes receive, the banners given to the winning teams, and even
the cakes given during exam contest are made possible by the
budget.

The Agonistic and the Aurora‘are made possible to a large
extent by the money received from the budget.

The Orchestra which peps up the sings and publishes song
books each year receives its share of the budget.

Don’t vou feel that each one of these organizations has some-
thing of personal interest in it for you? Won’t you help to make
these phases of college life better by paying the second semester
budget of five dollars promptly and cheerfully?

DUBOSE HEYWARD’S MISSION TO US.

Mr. Heyward is the third of the poetic missionaries who have
come to us preaching the Gospel of Beauty. Harriett Monroe
was the first, a pioneer who pointed out new fields to conquer.
‘Then came Vachel Lindsay, who led us after him into those
fields by his sheer happy exuberance and gift of song. And now
Mr. Heyward has come as one to point out our particular section
to us and to show us its achievements and possibilities.

Mr. Heyward was particularly suited for such a mission. In
the first place, he was a person whom we found very easy to
understand. He looked and talked very much like any other
young Southern business man—thereby somewhat mystifying
those who have been accustomed to think of poets as peculiar
and abnormal beings. Meeting him for the first time we found
no peculiarity of speech or manner or dress which we had to
“get used to” before we could think about what he had to say.
Being thus undistracted by externals, we were quicker to recog-
nize in him more subtle traits—his humor, his keen insight, and
most of all a sureness of aim in his work which was an inspira-
tion for us. Mr. Heyward is a normal business man,—but one
who has found poetry a vital enough influence to be made a part
of his being, so that his avocation has really become his vocation.
= personality did much, then, to humanize poets and poetic aim

or us.

In the same way he reached us quickly through his subject
matter. Most of it was familiar to us as Southerners—our land-
scapes, cities, negroes, mountaineers. We knew the types and so
were quick to understand the individual qualities which he
brought out in his poems. Our inspiration here came from his
revelation of the vast amount of material for poetry which the
South holds, and of the many methods of treatment which may
be given it because of present day poetic freedom. He sounds
a challenge to those of us here who are actively interested in the
work wheh he said that he believed there had never been a
period more favorable to poetry than this one, and that this was
as true of the South as elsewhere.

___We think, then, that Mr. Heyward really did fulfill his mis-
sion to us in a way which no one else quite could have. Unless
all signs fail there will soon be renewed and refreshed work
from those of ‘us on the campus who are writing, as well as a
new group of interested and sympathetic readers.

much to help make our college what
it is. But the Agnes Scott girls
are not the only ones who loved
Miss Anna.

Every year on her birthday her

mother, Mrs. Young, and her aunt,
Mrs. Eagan, give some money to
help furnish the Alumnae house.
The Alumnae usually try to get
something of permanent ‘value and
beauty in spending this money.

Last year a silver cream pitcher
and sugar bowl were purchased. This
year the Alumnae have bought a sil-
ver tray and basket and are going
to get silver candle sticks.

GREAT SECRET REVEALED—MR,

The Professor of Music at Agnes

in. music history; wherein he has
discussed the primitive music of the
Indian, traced the development of
polyphony, and insisted upon a knowl-
edge of Palestrina, Schutz, Bach and
Handel—so far, so good. But we
hear, also, that he has somehow
omitted to make the slightest men-
tion of the recent works of one Chris-
tian W. Dieckmann, 20th Century.

To this omission, we, the “Aggie,”
do most seriously object; and do,
therefore, for the instruction of the
music history class and of the col-
lege in general, presume to supple-
ment the lectures of said professor
by a discussion of the late compo-
sition of Mr. Dieckmann (doubtless
much to his vexation). A year ago
Mr. Dieckmann submitted two organ
numbers to the H. W. Gray Pub-
lishing Co., the American represen-
ative of the Novello Co., whose head-
quarters are in London. These com-
positions were accepted for publica-
tion, and apeared not long before
Christmas. One is called “Christ-
mas Eve,” the other the “Caprice.”
All of us know that Mr. Dieckmann
is an unusually talented organist,
but few of us knew before that we
had a noted composer in our midst.
We are proud to call him our pro-
fessor, and are looking for more
great accomplishments in the future.

MR. RICHERT, OF DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH, LEC-
TURES AT AGNES SCOTT.

On Monday, February 4th, the col-
lege community had the opportunity
of hearing Mr. Richert, a member of
the U. S. Department of Public
Health. He was formerly a profes-
sor of Biology, but, during the war,

and has not returned to teaching.

cipally in preparatory schools and
colleges, showing young people how
to take care of their health.

at five o’clock, to a good crowd. His
subject, which was “Mental Hygiene”,
was made very interesting by films
which he showed as illustrations.
Some excitement was caused by a
small owl, who, attracted by the dark
room, flew in and perched himself |
above one of the windows. Like Poe’s|
raven, he refused to move, Mr. Rich-|
ert, however, explained that he had|
arranged with the owl to come and
amuse the audience while the film

How would you like to have your
mother come to see you? Well, you
can just imagine how Catherine
Graeber felt this week when her
mother was here. Everybody that
saw Catherine and her mother said—
or if they didn’t say it they thought
it—“Good night! I wish mine was
here.” Well, it’s just one month and
twenty days till Spring Holidays!!

Jo North has gone home for a
while to rest. We certainly are sorry
she’s gone, but it won’t be very long
till she’ll be back and we’ll be twice
as glad to see her.

And Jo Douglas has diphtheria!
Since Miss Davis had the mumps we
thought it wasn’t stylish to have
such things—but Jo evidently thinks
otherwise. Still, everybody on third
floor will be glad when she leaves
the infirmary.

The other day Dick Scandrett’s
table had the cutest valentine party
you ever saw. Everything was val-
entine and the caps everybody wore
were darling.

Talking about parties—Edith Car-
penter had the equivalent of one the
other night. After “Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch”, everybody that
came up on third floor was met at
the head of the stairs with, “Go
down to my room and have some
food!” Well, you should have seen
the crowds headed towards Carp'’s
room. And—there were huge suit
boxes of sandwiches and more kinds
of cake than you could think of—
that is, at 9:45 there was, but at
10:30—well, you can imagine the re-
sults after about fifty girls had been
turned loose on it.

Did you know that Pauline Wheeler
had been to the hospital? Well, she
has, but she’s back now and we cer-
tainly are glad. Not only second, but
third, floor missed her mighty bad.

Miss Louise Hendrix spent last
week-end with her parents.

Miss Martha Chapin and Miss Mar-
garet Gholston spent the week-end
with friends in Atlanta recently.

Miss Ellen Fain has been suffering
with a severe cold for the past week.

Miss Margaret Debele had as her
guest last week-end Miss Mahla
Kent, of Savannah, who is now at-
tending Shorter College at Rome.

Miss Jane Slaughter spent the day
with her sister, Sara, at the college
recently.

Dr. Lynn, pastor of the Presby-
terian Chureh at Clinton, S. C., re-
eently paid a short visit to his
daughter, Elizabeth.

Miss Aileen Rammage had as her
guest fer the week-end Miss Miriam
Jordan, of Macon.

Far be it from us to hint at such
a thing, but we have heard that one
of the residents of Inman has lately
been seen with the janitor of the
Lowry Bank!

Miss Miriam Preston had dinner
last Sunday in Atlanta with Mrs.
J. K. Ott.

Miss Mary Greene was one of the
party who spent last week-end in
Atlanta with Miss Araminta Ed-
wards, and shared honors in the love-

ly bridge party given for them Sat-
urday evening. :

Anyone desiring a’ campaign man-
ager for her love affairs apply to
H. C. Martin, Room 17, Inman.

Miss Katherine Houston was con-
fined to her room for a few days
because of a terrible cold.

Presence of mind is a great thing.
Recently Miss Mildred Scott found
herself at the Old Soldiers’ Home,
penniless, having spent her last
nickel for street car fare on the
wrong street car. She did not, how-
ever, go into hysterics, but calmly
asked the conductor to give her a
transfer so that she might be able
to return to Atlanta and on out to
the college. So, it is to this con-
ductor’s kindness of heart that we
owe the fact of Scott’s presence here
once more!

Miss Grace Augusta Ogden re-
cently had dinner with Mrs. J. L.
Campbell,

Misses Janice Brown, Frances
Amis, and Polly Stone spent a de-
lightful week-end with Miss Elizabeth
Cheatham.

Miss Lillian Middlebrooks spent
Saturday night in Atlanta with her
aunt.

Tuesday night Miss Gladys Har-
bough attended a party in Atlanta.
She also spent the past week-end
there. She believes there is nothing
nicer than to have a brother in reach
when one is away at school.

Miss Ruth De Wanderlier was the
week-end guest of her aunt.

Misses Mary Kessler and Mary
Anne McKinney were among those
invited to Miss Bessie Wooten’s party
Saturday afternoon,

Another of the White House broth-
ers is good to “sis”. The one be-
longing to Miss Lillian Middlebrooks
stopped for her on his way to Starrs-
ville so that she could spend the
week-end with her parents.

Giddie

Dear Giddie,

You should have been at A. S. C.
Saturday night to see “Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch”, which was
given by our alumnae. It is sug-
gested that it be given over again
next year, because Mr. Stukes seems
to improve with inspiration.

Really, some of these girls around
here don’t have any trouble at all in
roping in high brow beaux. Satur-
day afternoon F. Amis (president of
the Dramatie Club) was dating with
a Ph.D.,—a botanist. But Mary Bess
Bowdoin isn’t going to let anyone get
ahead of her in the matter of vamp-
ing smart men. There is a geologist
who sends her flowers and takes her
out to supper all the time. My king-
dom, for even a featherheaded, insig-
nificant T-hound!

You wouldn’t know Walker Perry,
were you to come back to Agnes
Seott. Yes, she has bobbed hair. And
then—well, ask her how she likes
Mercer!

Now, you'll be thinking that every-
body at A. S. is enjoying life, Far
from it! The new semester is as
hard as the old. Then, some of us
are unhappy for other reasons. J.
Douglas has diphtheria. And, beings
as there are quite a number of cases
of mumps at Emory, there may be

THE

Gossip @

danger of a few cases developing
here.

However, L. Mattox says she
doesn’t think mumps can be con-
tracted over the telephone. And any-
way, not many of the K. A’s have it.

There are two girls in this school
who are too lucky for words—“Fran”
Myers and BE. Graeber. Their moth-
ers have been visiting them. Can you
feature anything better?

By the way—you should have seen
the faculty take off. Some of the
faculty were such good sports that
they came to see themselves as oth-
ers see them. Miss Gooch and Miss
Dexter got there p. d. q.

You said you wanted to know what
most of the Seniors were going to
do next year. Well, if I don’t stop
writing and get to work, I, for one,
will find myself right back here. But,
to answer your question before clos-
ing: Some of them say they are
going to try to get an M.A. But it
seems to me that, as it is leap year,
it would be much easier to get an
M.A.N.

Yours,
AGGIE.

With health, by no false lip-stick fed.

B. O. Z. WILL SELECT NEW
MEMBERS ON FEBRUARY 20.

B. O. Z. held. a very pleasant
meeting on Friday night, February
8, in Polly Stone’s room on second
floor Inman. Mrs. Dieckmann was
the guest of the club at this time,
as was also Miss Margaret Bland,
who was formerly a member of
1S LO A

Two stories were read, one by
Polly Stone, and one by Janice
Brown. The former, “Bascombe

Makes a Date,” told how a bashful
sixteen-year-old boy managed an af-
fair with his first love. Janice
Brown’s story, “The Eggrecon,” in
an interesting manner, dealt with
the failure of the latest invention
of an impractical college professor.

Officers were elected by the mem-
bers at this time. Janice Brown was
chosen as president, and Elizabeth

Cheatham is the new secretary. It
was also decided that try-outs
should be held and the stories

judged at the next meeting. The
stories must be typewritten on one
side of the paper, inclosed in an en-
velope must be the name of author,
and all try-outs must be given to
a member of B. O. Z. on or before
Wednesday afternoon, February 20.
Only Sophomores, Juniors and Se-
niors may be members of the club.

The present members are Polly
Stone, Janice Brown, Mary Greene,
Ellen Walker, Elizabeth Cheatham
and Vivian Little. Mrs. Dieckmann
has acted as faculty member dur-
ing this year.

GILPIN TO STAR IN NAN
STEPHENS’ “ROSEANNE”.

Those who are following with in-
terest Miss Nan Stephens’ play,
“Roseanne”, will be glad to hear
further news from the Agnes Scott
alumna’s production. The play, a
study of negro life, began rehearsals
recently with an all-negro cast,
headed by Charles Gilpin, who made
so great a success in O’Neil’s “Em-
peror Jones”. Gilpin has been eager
to play the part of the preacher
ever since the opening night and has
never missed a performance. The
tole of the. preacher will become, on
account of Gilpin’s peerless acting,
the leadin; one in the play, which
will be re named “Comin’ Through”.
Much interest is expressed in the
new plan, especially in view of the
fact that the production by the white
cast was an artistic success. It is
foreseen that Gilpin in the play will
find a demand for it both in this
country and in New York.

She—‘Jack, dear—am I the first
girl you ever kissed?”

to do that from a radio lecture I heard
the other night.’—Columbia Jester.

MARGERY SPEAKE IS NEW EDI-
TOR OF “GEORGIA STU-
DENT VOLUNTEER.”

The students will be glad to know
that at the Student Volunteer Con-
vention recent held at Wesleyan Col-
lege in Macon, Margery Speake was
honored by being chosen as editor
of the “Georgia Student Volunteer.”
This publication is the official or-
gan of the yolunteers of this state,
and it is issued five times during the
year.

Margery Speake has been closely
connected with the publications at
Agnes Scott. For the past three
years she has been a “star report-
er” on the “Agonistic” staff. Also,
frequent contributions from her pen
have appeared in the “Aurora,” and
this year she is doing work on the
“Silhouette.” Every student at Ag-
nes Scott is proud of her achieve-
ments and is congratulating her on
the well-deserved honor which has
been conferred on her.

IMPROVEMENTS ON CAMPUS.

It is very annoying when one is
already late for that “date”, or a
performance of the Forsyth Players
to have to rush all over the dormi-
tory looking for a girl who knows
what day of the month it is before
one can register. Girls lucky enough
to room in Inman Hall, however, do
not have to suffer this additional
delay. Some benevolent being has
hung a calendar by the register book,
thereby meriting the gratitude of all
Inmanites.

Miss White, the librarian, is an-
other who has devised a means of
saving time for the girls. Hitherto
the “sign-up pads” for Biology, Eng-
lish Eleven, History, Bible, Psychol-
ogy, etc., have managed to mingle
together in an annoying jumble. Dur-
ing rush hours it was next to im-
possible to find the pad which one
wanted. Miss White solved this dif-
ficulty by using different colored
covers for the pads in different de-
partments, and to anyone not color-
blind, it is now an easy matter to
sign up for the desired book.

PRACTICES FOR PRESENTATION

Everybody welcomed the announce-

no longer merely a far-away plan, |
but is fast becoming a reality; for
the practices have begun, and on

acters are coming to us in true life.

MR. DUBOSE HEYWARD, SOUTH
CAROLINA POET, MAKES DE-
* LIGHTFUL LECTURE AT
AGNES SCOTT.
(Continued from Page 1, Column 3)

But, perhaps, the most interesting
part of Mr. Heyward’s lecture was
his readings from the works of a
group of six Southern poets and then
from his own books. Poems by
Perey, McLure, Dargan, Baker, Bella-
man, and Allen. Among the se-
lections which he read from his own
works were “Gamesters All’, “Yoke
of Steers’, “The Mountain Woman”,
and “Dusk”.

Mr. Heyward is a very pleasing
lecturer. The tones of his voice are
attractive and he reads poetry in a
very sympathetic and feeling way.
He has a keen sense of humor, too,
which was often apparent both in|
his words and in his expression. |
The audience, charmed by him, re-
gretted that an evening is such a
short bit of time. |

After the lecture an informal re-
ception was held in the lobby of Re-
bekah Scott Hall. Here the visitors,
students, and faculty were given an
opportunity of meeting and talking
to Mr. Heyward.

On Tuesday afternoon the Poetry

MARY DAVIS CHOSEN
OF FOLIO.

MEMBER

At a recent meeting of Folio, the)

writers’ club for Freshmen, Mary
Davis was chosen as a member.
Though there were a number of ap-
plicants for admittance, it was
thought best at this time to select
only one new member. It is a
great honor to Mary Davis and a
compliment to her literary ability
that she was chosen. Folio has been
doing very interesting work this
year, and several delightful sketches
and informal essays by members of
the club have appeared in the “Au-
rora.”

W On February 22 the double celebra-
tion of the birthdays of George Wash-
Jington and of George Washington
Scott, founder of Agnes Scott, took
place. There is always the “long-
Mooked-forward-to” holiday, and the
Hformal dinner at night, when all of
us array ourselves in evening dress.
The dining rooms of both Inman
land Rebekah were beautifully decor-
ated with the usual decorations which
accompany the twenty-second of Feb-
ruary. The seniors, at a long table
reserved for them, were dressed as
characters of Washington’s day, and,
Bduring the dinner, made appropriate
Btoasts. The sophomore sisters, also,
were seated at a long table and at in-
Hitervals entertained those present with
songs, both witty and harmonious. In
Rebekah Scott, there dined the fol-
lowing famous characters:
George Washington, Margaret Pow-

Martha Washington, Dell Bernhardt.
Betsy Ross, Dick Scandrett.
Thomas Jefferson, Nancy Evans.

worth to Agnes Scott, on Monday
night, February 18, was an event of
which the Lecture Association might

Apart from the actual text of this
lecture which told in a very interest-

Pot his plays, Mr. Ellsworth had with
him some stereopticon slides, of the
various scenes which he discussed,
and of the theatres of Moliere’s day.
These slides helped make much more
vivid the facts about this famous

Gamma TauAlpha
Elects Two New

Members

Mary Greene and Mary Mob-
berly Receive High Honor

Two girls from the Senior Class,
Miss Mary Hemphill Greene and Miss
Mary Mobberly, have been elected to
membership in Agnes Scott’s honor so-
ciety, Gamma Tau Alpha. The an-
nouncement of the high distinction
that has come to them took place in
the chapel Friday morning, February
16, in a fittingly impressive ceremony.
Mr. Dieckmann at the organ played
a stirring processional, as the faculty
members of Phi Beta Kappa and Gam-
ma Tau Alpha in academic costume
entered and took their places at the
front of the auditorium.

After a hymn and prayer, Dr. Me-
Cain introduced Mr. Robert B. Holt,
popular faculty member of the Senior
class, who in a brief and satisfying
address told something of the purpose
and standards of membership of Gam-
ma Tau Alpha. The society was or-
ganized some years ago by faculty
members of Phi Beta Kappa, under
the direction of Dr. J. D. M. Armis-
tead, for the purpose of affording
some fitting recognition of those girls
who achieve high—unusually high—
scholastic attainment. Not only must
a girl be a student of first rank to
be elected to Gamma Tau, Mr. Holt
said, but her attitude toward and in-
terest in all phases of college life and

campus activity must not be warped|

by her passion for the knowledge that
comes only from the printed page. In
short, she must have in a measure
developed a “philosophic mind” that
has enabled her both to assimilate the
knowledge gained from study and to
apply it in her own experience. Of
both of the girls chosen the society
felt all these requirements to be true,

and therefore, said Mr. Holt, they were

glad to welcome both Miss Mobberly
and Miss Greene as members.

The student body received the an-
nouncement with delighted and pro-
longed applause. After the singing of
the Alma Mater the audience repaired
to the colonnade, where the two recip-
ients of this enviably high honor were
overwhelmed with joyful and tearful
congratulations.

Fiternationl Relations
Club Reorganized and
Officers Elected

On Wednesday, February 13, the
International Relations Club was re-
organized. This club has for its pur-
pose the discussing of topics of the
day, and corresponds to similar clubs
in all the well-known colleges. It is
to meet every two weeks on Wed-
nesday nights, at seven o’clock, and
at the next meeting the life and great
work of Woodrow Wilson will be dis-
cussed. The class in History 9 is to
substitute these meetings for a regu-
lar recitation period. The officers who
were elected last year are to be in
charge this semester. They are: Eliz-
abeth Henry, president; Virginia Ord-
way, vice-president, and Dorothy
Keith, secretary and treasurer. At
the meeting on February 18, Isabel
Ferguson and Emily Arnold were
elected counselors. Membership in
the club is to be restricted.

Agnes Scott Glee Club Gives
Concert

The concert given by the Agnes
Scott Glee Club, on Saturday night,
February 23, was a most enjoyable
one. The program presented selec-
tions of great variety and was well
executed throughout. The quartette
which included Frances Gilliland, Lil-
lian McAlpine, Grace Etheridge, and
Miss Walton, gave numbers which
were especially pleasing and received
much applause. The solos of Louise
Mahoney and the duets by Frances
Gilliland and Lillian McAlpine were
also enjoyed.

The audience had the pleasure of
hearing at this time two students of

Lovely Parties For
Sophomore Sisters

Tea Room Scene of Pleasant
Festivities

The tea room was the scene of nu-
merous parties Thursday evening as
the result of St. Valentine’s Day and
the consequent selection by the Ju-
niors of those Freshmen who next
year are to be Sophomore Sisters.

A party of four contained Margaret
Ladd, Gladys Lawton, Martha Lin
Manly, and Peggy Rankin, who were
served a five-course dinner at six
o’clock. Much merriment was caused
by the appropriate favors which har-
monized with the Valentine dccora-
tions.

Olive Gardner and Ewin Baldwin
were the guests of Walker Perry and
Jack Evans at a five-course dinner.
The table was lovely with its gay lit-
tle place-cards, baskets of almonds
and unshaded candles.

At another table Jack Ralston and
Frances Bitzer entertained Mary Nel!
Fitts and Roberta Winter. Here the
Valentine motif was also carried out.
A four-course dinner was served anc
the favors were individual baskets of
salted almonds.

No one, after seeing the large table
at which were seated twenty girls in
evening dress, could have charged that
Agnes Scott girls neglect their ap-
pearance. The table, too, was festive
on account of its decorations,* which
included a center-piece of paper white
narcissi, and place cards, comic val-
entines, and amusing favors at each
place. Thest_ latter were pert and
adorable \ devs “made —of— lollypops.
Those at the Juniors’ places wore cos-
tumes of red hearts, while those be-
longing to the Freshmen were dressed
as Seniors in dignified caps and
gowns. The hostesses and their “sis-
ters” at this dinner were:

Isabel Ferguson—Mary Martha Ly-
brook.

Elizabeth Griffin—Mary Davis.

Margaret Hyatt—Virginia Sevier.

Dot Keith—Ellen Douglas Leyburn.

Frances Lincoln—Elizabeth Clarke.

Georgia Mae Little—Nina Lou
Knight.

Anne McKay—Sarah Shields.

Ella Smith—Marcia Green,

Ellen Walker—Louisa Howard.

At the same time a “Kid Party”
was being held in the private dining
room. The Juniors, excepting Emily
Zellars and Walker Fletcher, who
were “Pa” and “Ma,” ‘respectively,
were dressed as little boys and called
for the Freshmen, who were dressed
as little girls. At the end of each
of the five courses, “Pa’s” huge red
handkerchief was passed around to be
used as the children saw fit. The
color scheme was red and white. This
was effectively emphasized by the
huge heart in the center of the table
from which red streamers radiated to
each place. Appropriate gifts attach-
ed to these were concealed in the
heart. Besides, each girl was awarded
a large red cardboard heart on which
was inscribed an amusing verse. “Pa’’
was unable to keep order until he ac-
ceded to the general demand on the
part of the children to play a game of
forfeit as a fitting end to the party.
This party was given by Louise
Buchanan, Jo Douglas, Walker Fletch-
er, Gertrude Green, Ruth Harrison,
Tootsie Janes and Emily Zellers, in
honor of Louise Jones, Vivian Cooper,
Adelaide Canady, Carolyn McCall,
Claire Harris, Louise Lewis, and
Catherine Mitchell.

Not all of the parties, however, were
held in the tea room. Sallie Horton
and Mary Bess Bowdoin invited Ruth
McGiffert and Eloise Harris to their
room for dinner. The table was pret-
tily decorated by kewpie dolls and
heart-shaped baskets of mints. After
dinner they enjoyed an entertaining
game of bridge.

Nor were all the parties held Thurs-
day. Saturday evening the private

Ferguson and Burt Alter-
nates; Negative Goes
To Newcomb

Of interest to the entire college
community was the announcement by
Daisy Frances Smith, of the following
intercollegiate debaters: Affirmative,
Daisy Frances Smith and Pocahontas
Wight, with Isabel Ferguson as alter-

nate; and negative, Francis Amis and
Olive Hall, with Virginia Burt as al-
ternate. These students are to be
congratulated on the honor which has
been conferred upon them.

The Agnes Scott negative team will
debate at Newcomb College in New
Orleans; while Randolph-Macon will
send representatives here to meet our
affirmative debaters. All Agnes
Scott is awaiting eagerly the day of
the debates, for excitement about this
event is always high in the three col-
leges,

The Agnes Scott debaters have been
in training for about a month, haying
done their work in Pi Alpha Phi, of
which Daisy Frances Smith is presi-
dent. The debaters at Randolph-
Macon and Newcomb have also been
chosen and are now doing intensive
work, so reports from these colleges
say.

Daisy Frances Smith and Pocahon-
tas Wight were members of the team
last year and everybody here knows
that she can expect great things of
them. Frances Amis, Olive Hall, Isa-
bel Ferguson, and Virginia /Burt\are
‘new intercollegiate debater... [=
ever, their work in Pi Alp} Phi Ras
shown their ability as ford=ful spea c-
ers.

Agnes Scott is very proud to be so
well represented in the coming con-
test. Although this college may not
win the decisions, every one feels sure
that our debaters will make formida-
ble opponents to any other college
team, however good.

Many thanks are due to the other
members of Pi Alpha Phi who are
aiding the chosen debaters by discuss-
ing the various aspects of the inter-
collegiate subject.

Miss Ethel Priscilla Potter
To Read Barrie’s “A
Kiss for Cinderella”

Blackfriars Will Present De-
lightful Program on March 1

A. 8. C. is in for a real treat and
one of the most enjoyable of the whole
college year. The Lecture Associa-
tion has presented to the college a
professor, a novelist, a poet and a
publisher; and now, just for the sake
of a little rarity, Blackfriars is spon-
soring the appearance here of a dra-
matic impersonator of national fame,
the beautiful Miss Ethel Priscilla Pot-
ter, who is touring the South. She
will impersonate “A Kiss for Cinder-
ella,” a comedy by Sir James Barrie,
in our chapel, on Saturday evening,
March 1.

Miss Potter is a graduate of Welles-
ley College and also of the Boston
School of Expression, Miss Gooch’s
Alma Mater. She is a well known
public reader, especially for colleges
and universities, having visited sever-
al times such places as Columbia Uni-
versity, Harvard, and New York Uni-
versity. Her tour of the South is de-
signed especially for the benefit of
schools and colleges, and in this section
of the country she will be a guest at
both Converse and Agnes Scott. Miss
Potter will also be the center of at-
traction at the Atlanta Drama League,
on Friday afternoon, February 29.

Blackfriars promises that this en-
tertainment will be one of the high
lights of the season; and—here’s a
tip—don’t miss it.

ARE YOU A PEST?

Two matters which are causing increasing annoyance on the
campus have come to our attention. It is a rather disagreeable
task to remind people of their faults and shortcomings; but, when
complaints are daily growing more vehement and more insistent,
we think that it will not be out of place to mention the tea-room
and library problems.

For the convenience and pleasure of the students Miss Bishop
has arranged to open the tea-room for an hour each night, and in
order to give efficient service she has asked the students to ob-
serve a few rules. One which is constantly being broken is that
which forbids customers to come into the kitchen or butler’s
pantry. This seems simple enough to observe; but it is being
infringed upon constantly. ;

Not only this, but some of those who are guilty of trespassing
on forbidden territory have shown themselves very unpleasant
toward the girls who work in-the tea-room. It is easy to see that
the gathering of a crowd of people in such smal] places as those
mentioned hinders these girls from moving quickly and that a
great many noisy demands, all coming at once, may confuse them
very much. It is very unpleasant for those working in the tea-
room to have to ask the customers to stay in the proper places,
but it is even more so for them to be disregarded or to be spoken
to with scornful or angry words. Those who are guilty of these
faults should remember that they are not only causing embarrass-
ment to others but are also showing supreme discourtesy and
lack of kindly feeling.

And, then, there is the question of books. The crime of mark-
ing and defacing these has suddenly become more acute, if we
judge by the number of complaints. Every girl who has reached
college should realize that, like Kipling’s “good cigar’, a book is
something more than the mere name implies. We read of Fra
Lippo Lippi’s drawing on the margins of his books, but it is
doubtful whether our sprawling lines would enhance either the
value or beauty of a volume, as his genius would do. At any rate,
the books are not drawing tablets.

A student is at liberty to write anything whatsoever in her
own book; but the library books, not being public property, are
not to be ruined in this way. It is rather disconcerting to have
bobbed haired girls grinning at one from the margins of Schurer
and to have a disgusting “Tee Hee” written by one of the most
dramatic and appealing portions of “The Romancers”, If we have

no sense of honor about the library books let us at least have taste
and appreciation.

B. O. Z. ELECTS NEW MEMBERS

B. O. Z. is glad to announce the
following new members: Margaret
Tufts, Larsen Mattox, Grace Augusta
Ogden and Mary Anne McKinney.

Tryouts were submitted to the club
on Wednesday, and at a meeting held
on the evening of that day the stories
were read and judged. The number of
applicants for membership was not as
large as usual this year, but several
of the stories showed careful and in-
teresting work.

B. O. Z. is a literary club which en-
courages the writing of the short
story. Sophomores, Juniors and Se-
niors may be members. The club has
been somewhat disorganized this year,

Mary Goodrich entertained a number
of A. S. C. students and alumnae at a
lovely Mah-Jong tea last Saturday

afternoon. The real Chinese atmos-

phere was obtained by the fragrance
of burning incense and by the oriental
sounds of “pung,” “chow” and “Mah-
Jong” floating from room to room.

CLASSICAL CLUB VALENTINE) SCHOLARSHIPS TO GLOUCESTER| AGNES SCOTT STUDENTS HEAR

PARTY.

On Friday evening, February 15, the
Propylaean Hall was the scene of a
lovely Valentine party. It was really
surprising how many Latin poems
were found to be suitable to the oc-
casion.

The program opened with an “In-
vocation to Venus,” sung by the en-
tire Classical Club. Dell Bernhardt
then gave a reading of a Latin poem,
and Grace Etheridge sang, as a solo,
a Roman love song. Several of Hor-
ace’s odes were read by Miriam Pres-
ton, and Dick Scandrett and Corinna
Berman gave as a duet an ode deal-
ing with the quarrel and reconcilia-
tion between two lovers. Louise
Stokes told in a few words the theme
of “Per Vigilium Veneris,” a poem
written by an unknown poet to cele-
brate a feast to Venus. After this,
the poem itself was read by Helen
Lane Comfort.

The .climax of the evening, how-
ever, was reached when the very
touching play, “Pyramus and Thisbe”
was presented. Certain Biology stu-
dents were greatly interested in the
mulberry tree which bore magnolia
leaves, and which itself strangely re-
sembled a sereen. But any peculiari-
ties of stage setting were promptly
forgotten in anxiety for the unfortu-
nate lovers. These parts were most
realistically interpreted by Emily Erh-
lich and Susan Clayton. Nor let the
lion be forgotten; valiantly he roared,
and was rewarded by an enthusiastic
eurtain call.

FOLIO DOES GOOD WORK THIS
YEAR.

For the past fall and winter months
Folio has had a larger membership
than it has been able to boast for
some time before, its members total-
ing eleven. This increase in member-
ship has, of course, resulted in a cor-
responding increase as to the vari-
ety of stories presented. Folio, as it
is well known, has always believed in
Mr. Ellsworth’s principle that “the
only way to learn how to write is to
write,” and consequently, each meet-
ing sees a goodly number of stories to
be read and discussed. The stories
this year, as said before, have been
particularly interesting because of
their wide diversity. They range all
the way from children’s fables to busi-
ness men’s problems, from hair-rais-
ing mysteries to school teachers’ loves,
from mountain sketches to college girl
episodes. They invade the realins of
tried and untried, and they are writ-
ten in letter and diary form as well
as in regular story style. Perhaps the
most outstanding characteristic of
them, as a whole, is their irrepres-
sible humor, that charming, full-of-
life kind. (But now and then an
awful tragedy does appear; see Grace
Augusta Ogden). Folio has had, in
short, a most enjoyable and gratify-
ing year in all respects.

As it is the rule of the Club for the
Sophomore members to withdraw at
the beginning of the second semester,
the membership will soon be reduced
to six, who promise to carry on the
work of Folio with great enthusiasm.
They are Louise Capen, Dorothy
Chamberlain, Susan Clayton, Miriam
Preston, Mary Shives and Mary Davis.
Mrs. Dieckmann is, of course, the
patron saint. Folio wouldn’t be Folio
without her.

SCHOOL OF THE LITTLE
THEATER,

The “Agonistic” is glad to print
the following article which will be of
interest to the students of the ex-
pression department:

The Gloucester School of the Little
Theatre, Gloucester, Massachusetts, is
offering two scholarships to under-
graduates of American schools and
colleges for its fifth summer session,
July and August of 1924.

In their Little Theatre, a pictur-
esque old wharf building nestling
among the shipyards and studios, the
Gloucester Players last summer pro-
duced almost thirty plays, which in-
cluded such pieces as:

“A Night At An Inn,” Dunsany;
“Wurzel-Flummery,” Milne; “Riders
to the Sea,” Synge; “The Land of
Hearts Desire,” Yeats; and “Moon
Tide,’ Clements. The school connect-
ed with the theatre offers courses in
stage lighting, scenery, make-up, danc-
ing, public speaking and acting. The
seven members of the faculty include:
Mrs. Florence Evans, Director of The
Boston School of Public Speaking and
The Florence Evans Players; Miss
Florence Cunningham of the Vieux
Colombier and founder of The Play-
house-On-The-Moors and Colin Camp-
bell Clements (author of “Plays For a
Folding Theatre, ete.”) who with Edna
St. Vincent Millay and Eugene O’Neill
has been called one of the founders
of a new school of American play-
writing.

Letters for information concerning
the scholarships to the Gloucester
School of the Little Theatre should be
addressed to Miss Florence Cunning-
ham, 112 Charles Street, Boston.

BRENAU STUDENTS CONDUCT
INTERESTING AND HELPFUL
Y. W. C. A. SERVICE.

A most interesting and helpful ser-
vice was given Sunday evening at Y.
W. CG. A. by Miss Susie Pearl Hill and
Miss Eleanor Reed from Brenau. For
several years it has been the custom
for two Agnes Scott girls to lead the
Y. W. C. A. service at Brenau one
Sunday during the year, and for us
to have two Brenau girls here. This
year we were exceedingly fortunate in
having come to us Miss Hill and Miss
Reed, whom we found not only to have
very pleasing personalities, but also,
to be serious thinkers and good speak-
ers who held the constant interest of
their entire audience. ;

Miss Hill spoke first on “Faith, a
Doorway to Christ,” in which she
showed that if our aim is to reach
Christ we must go through Faith, a
door that is most readily opened. Miss
Reed, instead of making a talk, gave
as a reading, that lovely little story
by Henry Van Dyke, “The Lost Word.”
The reading was evidence of much
talent and training, and Miss Read
brought before our minds forceably
the content of Van Dyke’s story, which,
because of the ability with which it
was read, left upon our minds a last-
ing impression of what it would mean
to lose from our lives the name of
God.

BLACK FRIARS CHOOSE SEVEN
NEW MEMBERS AND
INITIATE THEM.

At the tryouts for Bleckfriars last
week, the Freshmen showed their real]
interest in and ability for dramatics.
There were a great number of tryouts
and, while there were many who did
not get in, all of the vacancies in the
club were filled with excellent ma-
terial from both Freshman and So-
phomore classes.

GREAT MUSICIANS AND SEE
GREATEST OF DANCERS.

On account of its proximity to At
lanta, Agnes Scott enjoys the privi-
lege of hearing world-renowned men
and women who perform there. hi
the program of unusually diversified}
recitals by Kreisler, Pavlowa and
Dupre.

Kreisler needs no introduction, fo1
popular opinion crowns him as thi
greatest of all living violinists. H
performance was given at Wesley
Hall on February the 12th. A throng
of music lovers, including many Agnes
Scott girls, filled the church.

Kreisler’s program included selec
tions from Grieg, Tschaikowsky, Por:
pora, Tartini, Hubay, Paderewski and
several of his own compositions, “Mid
night Bells,” a Viennese melody,
which were received with the greatest
applause.

Pavlowa was presented on Friday
and Saturday, February the 15th and
16th, at the Atlanta Theater. Having
visited Atlanta before, Pavlowa and
her troupe of graceful dancérs were
cordially welcomed back and, at her
performances, Agnes Scott was again
well represented. That she is a mas=
ter of the terpsichorean art is univer:
sally acclaimed and one glimpse of her
dancing would convince anyone of het
wonderful ability. Her utter abandon-
ment and artistic skill in “tripping the
light, fantastic toe,” were enhanced by
the colorful costumes which seemed to
have comprised all the colors of thé
rainbow.

On Monday, February the 18th, at
| the First Presbyterian Church, Marcel
Dupre, a French organist, was pre
sented. Mr, Dupre has a world-wide
reputation and is considered the great-
est of all living organists, Not
Dame, that quaint and historie Paris:
ian Cathedral, claims him as her own,

His program included selections
from Bach, Schumann and improvised
symphonies. Mr. Deickman and ay
number of other organists presente¢
themes, sealed in envelopes which were
opened on the stage by Mr. Duprey
From these themes he improvised @
symphony in four movements. The
program was an attractive one a d
well merited the enthusiastic applause
which it received.

Dear Giddie:

You should have been at Agnes
Scott on the twenty-second. George
Washington’s birthday? Yes, but
that isn’t why we got a holiday. You
see, it is George Washington Scott’s
birthday, and we think the father of
Agnes Scott is just about as impor-
tant as the father of the country
However, we hate to brag (7)!

Did I tell you about Mary Greene
and Mary Mobberley getting in Gam-
ma Tau? It is the honor society.
And just think—only two out of fifty
got in. Isn’t it a wonder that their
hats still fit?

Of course, a college girl could never
forget the realm of the romantic. So
here goes! A little bird told me that
K. Pitman hasn’t missed going to
church this semester. Now when a
girl is allowed eight cuts and goes
over a month without taking a single
one, it looks s-s-s-picious, don’t you
think? And on inquiry I was inform-
ed that her motive was slightly ul-
terior!

Haven't I spoken of Caroline Smith
before? Well, guess what she did?
Her date for the Alabama Glee Club
was late, so she walked off with an-

Seniors are getting so old and gray
that it’s ‘hard to scrape up a date.
But as for Frances, every time you

By the way—some of these A. 8.
girls get so many flowers and so
much candy: Wonder how they do it?
Guess Gertrude Greene and Gertrude
Henry could tell us!

But I’ve saved the best ’til last.
Miss Gooch is going to take a party

In the course of his talk on

men of letters whom he had met dur-
ing his career.

Mr. Elisworth is at present engaged
in working up the details of Shakes-

English dramatist to those of his on

of which will be announced later. At)
the ringing of the second breakfast,

THE

POETRY CLUB TRYOUTS.

We used to be inclined to think
of a poet as the mystical, long-haired
man who lived in a garret, but since
we have seen Mr. Heyward, and have
heard about the Southern poets, we

know that they are very human. Last}

week in chapel we learned, too, that

we did not have to go even as far as
Charleston to find a poetry society;
for, the Poetry Club of Agnes Scott,
differing from the Charleston society
in that it is more liberal, gave every

student at Agnes Scott the chance to
become a member.

The try-outs for the Poetry Club
showed that the poetic souls on the
campus are not merely idle dreamers
for there were a number of try-outs,
which showed appreciation of poetry
and a talent for writing. The Poetry
Club is glad that so much interest
was shown in the writing of verse and
is gratified that the tryouts which
have been received were of such a
high order of excellence.

during the first of next week.

K. U. B. VISITS OFFICES OF AT-
LANTA JOURNAL.

Sees Printing of Evening Edition and
Examines Eyery Phase of News-
paper Business.

K. U. B. had the pleasure on Thurs-
day afternoon, February 21, of paying
a visit to the offices of the Atlanta
Journal. Mr. Stukes, who has been
acting as an adviser to the club for
the past two years, was in charge of
the tour. Daisy Frances Smith, the
efficient president of K. U. B., was
also instrumental in arranging this in-
teresting visit to one of Atlanta’s most
enterprising newspapers.

The radio room was visited first,
and the sound-proof broadcasting
room, as well as the various meckani-
cal devices were examined. Next, the
process of printing an evening edition
was explained, step by step. The K.
U. B. members were escorted into a
long room “full of sound and fury.”
Here twenty linotype machines were
at work setting the type for the next
Proofreaders
and
lastly printers were making up the
forms—or, in other words, arranging
the articles into pages, which were

‘then to be printed. In this room, also,

‘paper
indented impressions of the pages of

“mats” were made. On these
the newspaper were made. These were
something like plaster paris casts.
Later hot metal was poured over them,
and from the plates so made, the pa-
per was printed,

Next, the office of the city editor
was visited, Here, among papers
piled over the floor, sat the reporters
pecking away at their typewriters.
There were about twenty desks, but
all were not occupied at the time of
the K. U. B. visit.

Another interesting experience was
that of seeing how cuts of pictures
are made. The girls were fortunate
enough to see one of the cartoons of
Mr. Brewerton, the staff artist of the
Atlanta Journal, being photographed
and then made into a cut. The process
was long and tedious and caused much
wonder, for, as one girl expressed it,
“We thought that all that was re-
quired to publish a newspaper was a
typewriter.”

The enormous presses were the last
thing to be seen. There are two of
these, and they are located in the base-
ment. The noise was so deafening
that no explanations could be made.
However, the girls were much’ im-
pressed with the marvels of modern
machinery. At one end of the press
were huge rolls of paper, and these
furnished paper for the press. The
girls could see the long strip of paper

MISS DAVIS ENTERTAINS IN
HONOR OF MISS GLADYS BRY-
SON, Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY.

Student Industrial Program Described. |

A pleasant event of last week was|
the party given by Miss Jean Davis, |
of the Department of Sociology and!
Economics in honor of Miss Gladys)
Bryson, a national secretary of the!
Y. W. C. A. About twenty-five stu-
dents were invited to the faculty par-)
lor to meet Miss Bryson. She gave
to those who were present an inter-)
esting account of student industrial)
work and urged that some of the Ag-}
nes Scott students should spend their)
summer in doing work of this kind.|}
Positions, such as those held by mod-|
ern industrial girls, will be offered)
to a limited number of girls this sum-}
mer, In this way the student can
gain first-hand information of the
work of the industrial girl and devel-
op a greater understanding of and
sympathy with her. Philadelphia has
been selected as the city in which the
work will be carried on this summer.

Any student of Agnes Scott who/on

desires to engage in this student in-
dustrial program may secure further
information from Miss Dayis. Several
Agnes Scott girls worked summer be-
fore last under this system in a fac-}
tory in Atlanta, and it is hoped that
others will see fit to follow their ex-
amples.

Miss Davis’ party was very pleas-
ant, for the girls were interested in
what Miss Bryson had to say. Miss
Leonard, of the Atlanta Y. W. C. A.,
was also a guest.

JULIA HAGOOD’S ENGAGEMENT
ANNOUNCED.

Was it the spirit of Valentine, or
the irresistible charm of his smile, or
simply the wiles of Cupid? But no
matter what the reason, Miss Julia
Loriette Hagood, Class of ’20, of
Charlotte, N. C., has announced her
engagement to Mr. Reynolds Cuthbert-
son, of the same town. The nuptials
will be celebrated in the early part
of March.

Agnes Scott graduates have never
considered their wedding days quite
perfect without old College comrades,
and Julia Hagood is no exception to
this rule. She has chosen as brides-
maids Misses Margaret Bland and
Gertrude Manly, both of the Class of
20. Among others of our alumnae
expecting to attend the marriage in
Charlotte are Misses Nell Buchan-
, 22, Aimee D. Glover, ’21, Eliza-
beth Moss, ’20, and Mrs. Joe Fagan,
alias Elizabeth Pruden, ’19.

While at A. S. C., Julia Hagood
was the president of student govern-
ment, an inter-collegiate debater, and,
of course, a member of Hoase and
a hundred other things. Besides, her
beauty, dignity, charm, and, oh, just
herself, won for her many friends,
both at the college and elsewhere, who
now wish her all sorts of good luck.

Mr. Cuthbertson is a graduate of the

University of North Carolina, and is!

connected with the Independence Trust
Co., of Charlotte.

More glory added to the day student
laurels, this time by Martha Crowe
and Eloise Harris, who proved their
great histrionic ability and were re-
ceived into membership into Black-
friars. Mumps certainly had a benefi-
cent effect on Martha, or maybe it
was just her Titian-haired genius that
glowed until it became a burning fire.

And speaking of red, reminds us
of another color—green. Marianne
Strauss may deny that she is anything
but green-eyed, but when a certain
“shadow” and Mary Ruth are con-
cerned—well, will Sarah please inform
us if Marianne is really jealous or if
she were only trying to cause a little
excitement ? If you would like to
know any more, let Mary Ruth tell you
about a certain midnight stroll.

We just don’t know what we would
do without Daisy Frances and Olive
Hall, anyway we won't think about
that side of the question. But would
anyone even conceive for a fraction
of a second the bare possibility of not
hearing Daisy Frances argue to de-
feat the team from Randolph-Macon?
And will there be anyone who will not
be thinking of Olive as she goes down
to New Orleans? The answer to both
these questions is no. We’re all pull-
ing as hard as we can for both of you,
for we’re just so proud of you we'll
get too conceited in just.a little while!

who were charmed with this dramati-
gation of Louisa Alcott’s novel.

Every part was well taken, but
everybody will agree that Polly
Stone, in the role of lovable Jo
March was the star of the perform-
ance. Every line seemed to be writ-
ten especially for her. However, the
same thing could be said of every
one of the cast. The scenes of Mrs.
March’s departure, of Beth’s farewell
to Jo, and of Professor Bhaer’s pro-
posal were especially well done.

This is the last play which Black-
friars will present before the spring
play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
They deserve the congratulations of
the college community for the suc-
cess of this excellent presentation of
“Little Women.”

The characters in the play were
as follows:

Mr. March—Frances Lincoln.

Mrs. March—Eugenia Thompson.

Meg, their oldest daughter—Rosa-

Glee Club Sings At
WSB, Journal Radio
Station

Friday night, February 29, the Ag-
nes Scott Glee Club gave a concert
over the radio from broadcasting
station WSB, the Atlanta Journal.

The club this year has been un-
usually good and they have had
many invitations to sing in public,
several of which they have accepted.
But no occasion has been more thor-
oughly enjoyed by the club than
this one, and none in which they
were more interested. Others, too,
who had heard that Agnes Scott
was to sing, were interested and
listened in. During the concert sev-
eral telegrams were received bring-
ing congratulations from various
friends.

The girls had a wonderful time
inspecting the intricacies of the radio
and also gave a very successful pro-

of the

gram. Agnes Scott is to be con-
gratulated on her excellent Glee
Club.

The program in full follows:

1. Come Down Laughing Stream-
let (Spross)—Glee Club.

2. Solo—Martha Johnson,

3. Gondola Song (Roberts)—Glee
Club.

4. Quartette, “Rockin’ in de Win’”

redge, Gilliland, Walton.

ager Giulio Gatti-Casazza. The sea-
son this year begins on Easter Mon-
day, April 21, and lasts, as usual,
for one week, through Saturday,
April 26. As the appreciation for
Atlanta Opera Week is steadily in-
creasing throughout the South, the
officials of the Atlanta Music Fes-
tival Association are expecting a
larger crowd than ever. With the
exception of “Fedora,” all the operas
to be presented this year are fa-
miliar favorites,” long loved by the
opera-going public over the world.
Most of them, however, have not
appeared in the Atlanta Auditorium
for several seasons.

Monday evening, Opera Week will
open with Flotow’s melodious ‘“Mar-
ta” in Italian, not heard here since
the days of Caruso. Its principal
artists are Beniaminy Gigli, Frances
Alda and Giusenps Ve Luca.

Verdi’s famous “Il Trovatore” (ia
Italian), is listed for Tuesday after
noon, the 22nd, with Rosa Ponselle
as heroine, and Giovanni Martinelli
and Giuseppe Danise, as leading men.

On Wednesday evening comes the
Russian masterpiece, “Boris Godu-
noff,” by Moussorgsky (in Italian).
The chief star is Feodor Chaliapin,
the Russian bass, whose first ap-
pearance in Atlanta last year made

such a deep impression. Jose Mar-
dones will also appear in “Boris
Godunoff.”

Verdi’s ever fresh “Rigoletto” (in
Italian), Thursday afternoon, boasts
of three famous artists in its cast,
Gigli, De Luca and Lucrezia Bori.

Mr. Gatti-Casazza revived this
season on the New York stage, with
great success, an opera heretofore
little known in America, Giordono’s
“Fedora” (in Italian). It will be
given here on Friday evening, with
Florence Easton as leading lady, and
Martinelli and Antonio Scotti as
leading men.

Saturday, the 26th, the last day
of opera, will witness both mati-
nee and evening performances. In
the afternoon is “Faust,” one of the
most popular of French operas, pre-
senting especially Edward Johnson,
Chaliapin and Alda. In the evening
a double bill will be offered “Caval-
leria Rusticana,”’ with Rosa Ponselle,

Gigli, and others, and “Pagliacci,”
with Bori, Martinelli, Danise and
others.

Both Europe and America admit
that the artists of the Metropolitan
Opera Company are the best the

Blackfriar Banquet

One of the most festive occasions
of the year was the annual Black
Friar Banquet, which took place in
the Alumnae House, Tuesday night,
March 4,

The room was beautiful in the
color scheme of black and white, car-
ried out by the decorations and the
tall candles. The tables represented
stages, in the center of which were
the characters of “Little Women”
and at each end gracefully danced
Pierrot and Pierrette. The place
cards were miniature Black Friars
in hoods and gowns.

In addition to the gaieties of the
banquet the guest enjoyed especially
a reading by Mary Ben Wright, a
solo by Frances Gilliland and music
by the Agnes Scott Orchestra.

Those present were Miss Hopkins,
the faculty board of Black Friars
and the members of Blatk Friars.

Judge Florence E. Allen, of
Ohio, Will Speak in Agnes
Scott Chapel Satur-
day Evening

Lecture Association Will Pre-
sent Noted Jurist

Florence E. Allen, associate justice
of the Ohio Supreme Court, and the
only woman in America who has ever
attained such a high position, will
speak at Agnes Scott on Saturday,
March 15. Judge Allen is a most
interesting figure in the political
world today, and is recognized as
such by all of the leading politicians
of our country.

Justice Allen is a most fascinating
figure—not only is she interested in
law, but she is also an accomplished
musician, a splendid athlete, and a
poet as well. She was born in the
West, and lived the greater part of
her life in the Middle West, a fact
which explains her fondness for the
out of doors, and also her ability as
an athlete. At the age of thirteen
she entered Western Reserve Uni-
versity, where she was graduated
with honors. After this, she spent
two years in Berlin, studying piano,
and during this time, wrote many
criticisms for the Musical Courier.
She then returned to Cleveland,
where she taught and also completed
her work for her master’s degree.
After a year of the study of law at
the Chicago Law School, she served
as a legal investigator for the New
York League for the Protection of
Immigrants. She later studied in
the New York Law University, and

Miss Ethel Priscilla Potter

Reads Barrie’s “‘A Kiss
For Cinderella”

Audience Charmed By Her De-
lightful Performance

Miss. Ethel Priscilla Potter’s read-
ing of Barrie’s “A Kiss for Cinde-
rella” at Agnes Scott was a sort of
landmark in the records of this
year. Besides Miss Potter, only one
other person from the outside has
been asked to read from the Agnes
Seott platform and that was Miss
Dorothea Spinney, of London, the
notable interpreter of Greek drama,
who read the “Electra” of Euripedes
for us last year.

In Miss Potter Agnes Scott found
a woman quite as great in the inter-
pretation of modern literature as
Miss Spinney is in her line. Quite
truthfully and sincerely and absolute-
ly without any affectation whatso-

ever, Miss Potter finds and reveals
the soul of modern poetry and
drama.

“A Kiss for Cinderella” is a three-
act play with a modern theme based
upon that delightful old fairy tale
which everybody so loved to hear
told in youth. With unusual skill
and rare charm Miss Potter so por-
trayed the vivid scenes and different
characters that we seemed not to be
listening to a reading of such events
but to be actually present among
them. We found that the spirit of
Barrie’s modern play had as much
enchantment for us now as did the
story in our childhood.

At the conclusion of the play, Miss
Potter read as encores a delightful
little medley of poems. The group
included “May Day,” “April Songs,”
“God’s World,” “When the Year
Grows Old.”

The popular opinion among the
students was that they had passed a
most entertaining and _ instructive
hour, one whose impressiveness will
not soon be obscured from the walls
of memory.

The personality and charm of Miss
Potter and her readings is clearly
shown in the following criticism by
Miss Frances K. Gooch, associate
professor of English at the college:

“Miss Potter’s interpretation of ‘A
Kiss For Cinderella’ is quite satis-
fying. The technique of her art is
so perfectly mastered that it is in no
way apparent that there is a tech-
nique. With this charming Barrie
play she gives her audience an hour
of happiness and inspiration, and
her audience is perfectly aware that
Miss Potter is living and sharing
the joy and inspiration.

Besides the mastery of platform
art, Miss Potter has two qualifica-
tions that insure success to the read-
er, a very unusually charming per-
sonality and a rare sympathy and
love for people.”

Dr. Odum’s Lecture

On March 7th, Howard W. Odum,
Professor of Sociology at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, spoke on
“Social Study and Interpretation as
a Field of Effort for College Wo-
men.” At this time he presented
new ideas which were of especial in-
terest to the students of sociology.
Dr. Odum is the editor of “The
Journal of Social Forces,” a maga-
zine published at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina, and is said to be the man
who started the great progress in
social conditions in North Carolina.
On the same night that Dr. Odum
lectured here he also spoke at Em-
ory, on “A More Articulate South.”
These lectures were given under the
auspices of the Agnes Scott and Em-
ory Lecture Associations, respective-
ly.

Dr. McCain, Second
President Of Agnes Scott
To Be Inaugurated

Impressive Service Will Take
Place May Day; Speakers
From Leading Colleges
and Universities

May Day, always a gala event in
the annals of Agnes Scott, will this
year have a very unique and added
Significance. It is not only to be
the date for the annual festival,
but .it is to be the date whereon
Dr. James Ross McCain is to be
inaugurated as the second President
of Agnes Scott.

As such an occasion it will be a
great event in the lives of all stu-
dents and alumnae of the college to
which Dr. McCain has given so much,
It will also, however, be a great
event in all educational circles, be-
cause of the standing of Agnes Scott
as one of the foremost colleges for
women in the United States. Dele-
gates and representatives from many
colleges and universities of high
standing are’ expected, and the pro-
gram will include addresses by some
of the most prominent educators of
the country.

The inaugural exercises will take
place out on the campus at ten-thir-
ty A.M., and will be opened by the
academic procession. After this
there will be addrésses by the heads
of certain prominent institutions of
learning, the inaugural address by
Dr, McCain and the recessional. The
delegates from other colleges will
be the guests of Agnes Scott at
luncheon at one-thirty; at three will
witness the May Day festival; and
will then be taken on a drive to
Stone Mountain. In these plans the
Decatur and Atlantg Alumnae have
manifested great iftersst and have
offered their services in carrying
them out and in the entertainment
of the guests.

Dr. McCain was elected President
of Agnes Scott at the annual meet-
ing of the trustees, May 28 of last
year, to succeed Dr. Frank Henry
Gaines, the beloved first President
of the College, and the man largely
instrumental in its founding. Before
his election to the Presidency, Dr.
McCain was Registrar, Professor of
Economics and History, and Vice-
President. His ability, his unselfish

Miss Gooch Entertains
In Honor Of
Miss Potter

All of the students at Agnes
Scott were delighted when Dr. Me-
Cain announced in Chape) Saturday
morning that the lady on the plat-
indeed Miss Ethel Pris-
cilla Potter and that she had prom-
ised to read for us some of the
poems of Hilda Conkling, a little
girl who writes beautiful verses, This
unexpected treat was due to the fact
that Miss Potter was the guest of
Miss Gooch during the day. Agnes
Scott is fortunate in having on the
faculty those who, like Miss Gooch,
are zealous in providing such oppor-
tunities for us,

She entertained at a lovely lunch-
eon in the private dining room of
the Anna Young Alumnae House in
honor of Miss Potter. A note of
spring was sounded by the gay
center-piece of bright yellow jon-
quils and green fern. Four of the
guests had studied at the Curry
School of Expression and painted
such glowing pictures of it that Miss
Hopkins remarked that she wished
she had been a student there. Those

DOWN WITH POLITICS

Elections are drawing near, and, although we may become boring
in expressing again the unwritten rules of this occasion, we dare
add our voice to the general tumult. The success of the next col-
lege year depends on the outcome of Monday’s voting, and we
wish to remind every student of a fact which has become a prece-
dent at Agnes Scott. This is the matter of politics. Ever since
there were student elections at this college, it has been considered
the privilege of every girl to cast her vote as her own independent
thinking has caused her to decide. There is no rule in our hand-
book which strictly prohibits playing politics, but doing such a
thing as this is recognized as a flagrant breach of the spirit of
the honor system.

By playing politics we mean endangering, because of personal
feeling, the chances of election to an office of any student here.
It is the right of everybody to express an honest opinion on the
ability of a cardidate and to give reasons for voting or not voting
for her. But it is not the duty nor the right of any student to
thrust her own opinion down the throats of her neighbors. We
do not mean to discourage discussion of students who are eligible
for election, but we do mean that campaign managers have no
place on the Agnes Scott campus.

There is no need for such a condition here. The college is small
enough for every student to know or at least be familiar with the
record of every other girl on the campus. We all are capable of
forming our own opinions. We need, of course, the ideas of our
friends. But none of us wants nor appreciates any advice nor
opinions which tend to destroy our fairness or clear thinking. We
want helpful suggestions, but we should not tolerate any unsolicit-
ed campaign speeches which will make it hard for us to judge with
an unbiased mind the merits of each nominee.

ELIZABETH GRIFFIN AS ASSISTANT EDITOR.

The thanks of the “Agonistic” are due Miss Elizabeth Griffin,
who for the past month has been serving as assistant editor of
the paper. Miss Griffin has been at Agnes Scott not only a member
of K. U. B., but also one of the most successful departmental edi-
tors of this paper; and her help has been indispensable to the staff
of the “Agonistic” this year. We are glad to express publicly our
appreciation of her able assistance.

February 29 and March 1. Twenty-
three colleges from Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Flerida were represented, Agnes
Seott sending as her delegates
Elizabeth Henry and Dorothy Keith.

The session opened Friday at 3:30
at Furman University, after an hour
had been given for the registration
of delegates. Addresses of welcome
were made by Miss Eula Burns, pres-
ident of the club at G. W. C.; by
Mr. C. V. Bishop, president of the
club at Furman; Miss Denmark, of
the History department at G. W. C.,
and Professor Gaines, of Furman.
Respenses were given by Elizabeth
Henry, of Agnes Scott, and Mr. Lewis
Smith, of Clemson. A brief state-
ment of the aims of the conference,
made by Professor Gosnell, of Fur-
man, was followed by an interesting
address on the Youth Movement, by
Professor Henderson, also of Furman.
The meeting was then thrown open
for discussion of problems relating
to the clubs and various colleges
were called upon to state the aims
and progress and requirements for
membership. Many interesting facts
were acquired. The meeting ad-
journed until eight o’clock when it
was reopened by a violin solo by Mr,
Fuchs, of Coker College.

The first address of the evening
was then delivered by Dr. D. D.
Wallace, of Wofford, on the World
Court. The second address
diately followed. This was given by
Professor Pierce, of Brenau, on Res-

opened with “America”. At tenthirty
Dr. Gulick, president of the Federal
Council of the Churches of America
and secretary of the non-partisan as-
sociation of the League of Nations,
spoke on the League. After his
speech, he conducted a very helpful
open-forum discussion. At twelve
o’clock the delegates were taken for
a drive over the city and all re-
turned to G. W. C. for lunch.

At two o’clock the afternoon ses-
sion began. This was a_ business
meeting and many matters were dis-
cussed. The previously appointed
committees on constitution, resolu-
tions and nominations, reported and
their recommendations adopted. The
nominees were elected as permanent
officers for next year. They stand
as follows:

President—Mr. Gathings, Furman.

First Vice-President—Miss Keith,

Second Vice-President — Miss Elli-
son, Randolph-Macon.

Recording Secretary—Mr. Wallace,

Treasurer—Miss Day, G. W. C.

It was decided that the clubs ac-
cept the invitation of Winthrop to
hold the conference there next year.
At four o’clock the business meeting
adjourned and the delegates were
given a reception in the parlors of

two selections during the evening.
Dr. Gulick and Senator Pitman, of

Nevada, delivered addresses, the for-|!

Warless World”; the latter on “In-

The program was a helpful, in-

while for the southern student of
international problems.

On Thursday night Olive Gardner
and Sara Smith gave a concert, en-
semble, in the studio on fourth floor.
The shaded lights suffused a lovely
rose glow over the room that was
dressed up almost beyond recognition.
Vases and baskets of lovely spring
flowers were used as floral decora-
tion. The two pianists were grace-
fully presented by Frances Watter-
son to the enthusiastic audience.
Sara Smith was gowned in laven-
der lace over crepe de chine of the
same color, and Olive wore a dainty
creation of orchid. Frances Langs-
ton, Judith Wilson and Frances Wat-
terson ushered the guests to their
seats. During the intermission love-
ly flowers were presented the “art-
istes” and the poetry of ardent admir-
ers was read. Following is the pro-
gram that was so charmingly ren-
dered:

1. “Baby Dear,” “Dreamy Melody.”

2. “Mighty Lak’ a Rose,” “Sweet-
heart of Sigma Chi.”

3. “Jealous of You,” “O Sole Mio,”
“Song of Love.”

Social News In Rebekah Scott Hall

You’ye never in all your life
seen so much excitement as in Re-
bekah over the basketball tourna-
ment. Margaret McDow spent the
week end with Araminta Edwards,
and of course they went—and can
talk of nothing else. Not only that
but Margaret told somebody that she
went out with the former Governor’s
son!

Jo North and Louise Hannah spent
the week-end in town, too, and near-
ly all the inhabitants ‘of the wing
over the chapel on third floor spent
the week-end in Canton, Ga., with
Louise Jones.

Everybody, not only in Rebekah,
but dll over the campus, seems to
be jealous of Elizabeth Henry and
Dot Keith. Just think! Being sent
to a convention right at home!

E. Henry is staying with Dot and
is to make the response to the wel-
come address at the International Re-
lations Club Conference; and from all
the newspaper accounts, the whole
of Greenville is turning out to give
them a royal entertainment.

Talking about celebrities, we cer-
tainly have one over here (and
there’s not but one more of its kind
on the campus—Mary Greene), and
that’s Mary Mobberly. You know,
she’s in G, T. A. now, and the other

night you would have thought some-
body was going to get married,
Mary was so excited! Why? Well,
she was going to the banquet. Never
mind! Just wait till next year, when
some of us Latin I majors make
Gamma Tau—Rebekah Scott won’t
even hold us!

Emily Zellars’ mother-in-law has
been in town this week and from all
the candy and good things and rides
you’d think it was Christmas holi-
days—almost. And she’s asked Em-
ily and all her friends to a grand
big house-party. What could be
more wonderful?

Third floor surely has missed
Walker Fletcher the last two weeks,
but she’s well now and out of the
infirmary at last.

Guess what happended this weke-
end? Georgia May Little stayed
out here Saturday night and Carp
stayed Sunday night! Imagine it!
Oh, yes, George came to Sunday
morning breakfast, too.

Hilda McConnell spent Saturday
night with Dick Scandrett.

Corena Berman’s sister was here
all the week-end. Isn’t she lucky—
I mean Keenie?

Giddie, dear:
If you ever come to Agnes Scott
you must be sure to apply for mem-

bership in Blackfriars. They have
been the center of attraction all
week. If you’re a Blackfriar you'll
always have a chance to be in the
public eye. Now, Tuesday, they had
a banquet that rivalled the one given
by Gamma Tau. And if there is any-
thine to the expression, “The more
the merrier,” they had a better time.
Then, Saturday, “Little Women” was
given. Enough said!

What do you think about these
girls who always have college maga-
zmes sent to them and don’t have
to spend their weekly 25¢ on Life
or Judge? Well—Araminta Edwards
says the Toreador is a “bully”

| magazine. And I agree with her!

Oh! you must listen to the latest.
Yes, wieners at the Tea Room. All

} they lack is a little side.
Speaking of oysters—some of our
} A. S. Society contingent are still
enjoying life. Jo Douglas and L.
Lewis never miss a dance. And Ruth
de W. is always having dinner on
Sunday nights at East Lake. Not
} to mention the fact that every time

we (my room-mate and I) go into
Nunnally’s, E. Little and G. Boone
are in there with dates.

Now, Grace Carr just deserves spe-
cial mention—anybody who can make
up for all the time she has missed
from school and continue to have
dates every pause. Yes, and she
and Adelaide Cannady took dinner
at the Pi Kappa Alpha House last
Sunday.

A secret service man has been
keeping me posted on lots of things
lately. A certain boy, so he says,
told a certain girl at the Theta Chi
dance that he was in with
Emmie Saxon. And Ruth McGiffert,
well, she gets a long distance call
almost every night.

Oh! oh! oh! Do you know what
happens on March 287 Easter? No!
Fourth of July? Guess again! Uh-
huh—Spring holidays. Now won't
we have the solid good time? And
a week before that we are going

W. C. what slick debaters A. S. has.
Well, goodbye, Giddie! Hello li-

brary!

Miss Sarah Buford Dunlap, Ex.
bride of Mr. William Haywood Bob-
bitt, of the same town (a large pic-
ture of whom you probably saw on
Sarah’s dresser last year in Inman)
on Thursday evening, February 28th.

The wedding was held at the home

to show Sophie Newcomb and R. M.|

A meeting of the Noth Carolina |

of the bride, and was attended only
by the family and a few close
friends. The house was tastefully
decorated in green and white, and a
bank of palms in the sitting room
formed an altar. As the bridal pro-

cession moved toward the room
where Rev. W. B. Mellwaine, Jr.,
stood ready to perform the cere-

mony, it was proceeded by two little
girls daintily dressed in white, who
untied white ribbons barring the en-
trance to the sitting room, and _al-
lowed the procession to pass. The
maid of honor and the four brides-
jmaids were beautifully dressed in
pink georgette, and wore long sashes,
some of lavender, some of green,
which reached the floor, to form
graceful trains. The maids carried
|lavender and pink sweet peas. Then
|eame two littie flower girls, carrying
jbaskets of more sweet peas, and,
behind them, the bride herself, lean-
jing on the arm of her father, Mr.
William T. Dunlap, who gave her
away. The bride was a picture of
loveliness, all in white, and her veil
fastened with exquisite pearls.
Strangely enough, just before the
ceremony, Mrs. Wm. Gresham Thom-
as sang “Believe Me If All Those
Endearing Young Charms”, to the
tune of which our “Alma Mater” is
written.

After the wedding a reception was
held and many friends came in to
congratulate the happy couple. The
receiving line was composed of the
bridal party, the parents of the bride
and of the groom and Miss Eugenie
Perkins, dressed in black velvet and
wearing pink roses, who was Sarah’s

score was 41 to 0, in favor of North
Carolina.

An attractive table party was giv-

Friday night in honor of the —teenth
birthday of Louisa Duls. The color
scheme, green and gold, was appro-
priately carried out in the table dec-
orations.

Mr. Heygood, a Y. M. C. A. secre-
tary at Georgia Tech, spoke at our
Yc =We Gy AL
evening. The subject for the evening
was “Comradeship—a Doorway to

service last Sunday

| Christ.”

After the reading of the famous
of David and
Jonathan by Helen Lane Comfort
and the singing of a beautiful duet
by Frances Gilliland and Lilian Mc-
Alpine, Mr. Heygood spoke to us.
He came to us as a man lately
out of college and knowing some-
thing of the problems of college life.
And one of the greatest of these

iproblems, so he said, was true com-

radeship. We are prone to keep ‘our
real selves hidden under a shell and
not let our true natures be exposed.

His advice to us was to enrich our

jcomradeships by talking to our friends

about Christ, but before we can do
this we must have already made
Christ and His
comrade,

Bible our closest

His talk, throughout, was sincere
and earnest and gave us many new
ideas for thought and practice.

jmarriage, was Anna Sykes, was born

in China, and after coming to the
United States for her education, re-
turned to the mission field. She is
now teaching in a school in Shang-
hai. While she was here she led
prayers on one night, and also gave
a very interesting talk to the Stu-
dent Volunteers. Her main theme
was the problems a new missionary
has to meet on the field. She re-
lated a great many personal experi-
ences in China, which were delightful.

Several Tech men came out Sun-
day night to lead Y. W. Service.
Their program was thoroughly en-
joyed. This was a phase of our ef-
forts to establish a close relation-
ship between the Y. W. C. A. and
the Y. M. C. A. Our girls will lead
one of the services at Emory soon.

There are evidently many compen-
struggling through
Greek, at least Martha Eakes seems
to think so. And it is a source of
great delight to the members of her
Greek class that when any Greek
book is needed in a special hurry,
all one has to do is to let Martha
know and—well, Emory is not very
far away, and very obliging.
Pep is very contagious, and the
effervescence of that highly-coveted
article is most noticeable when Mar-
tha Crowe dances around. She cer-
tainly looks happy after her wonder-
ful week-end in LaGrange, but just
‘for the sake of curiosity, we would’
like to find out her secrets of suc-
cess which make specials appear aft-
er such a short lapse of time.
Marion Johnson is always a sure
eure for the blues or anything on
that order. And when you see her
in “Rosalie,” the French club play,
you would banish dull care forever,
for not only is she a good actress.
(in this case, it was actor), but also
she can bring forth more smiles
from an appreciative audience tham
the skies brought forth raindrops
during the first part of last week.
And Lois Bolles makes the most
charming “madame”’—we do not
wonder that certain college students
always find it absolutely essential
that they stop off in Atlanta a few
\days on their way to and from their
|Alma Mater. College has evidently
endowed them with a true sense of
appreciation of really fine values.

Seniors Present “Cap and

Merrie Pigtail” on
March 26.

Those who remember the hour
of mirth and hilarity which the
presentation of “The Cat and Mer-
‘vie Pig Tail” produced will be glad
to hear that the senior class has, con-
sented to interpret the renowned stunt
of her sophomore year once more.
Those who have not had the pleasure
of viewing this amusing performance
have something of great intellectual
value to look forward to—for the
seniors promise to clear away all the
‘cobwebs on the brain.

‘Indeed, the stunt was such a decid-
ed success on its first appearance on
the stage as to win for the elated
sophs that famous animal, the “Black
Cat.” So it is with the greatest
pride that the seniors will present
“The Cat and Merrie Pig Tail” in
the chapel on the night of Wednes-
day, March 26.

The cast of characters is as follows:
_ Freshman (otherwise known as
Plait)—Dell Bernhart.

_ Sophomore—Dick Scandrett.

' French—Helen Wright.

Lum Nye—Mary Greene.

Chemos Tree—Weenona Peck,
Wilbe Sage—Frances Amis.

Dame Sage—Cora Morton.
Cat—Beulah Davidson.

Victoria Howie will read the pro-
logue. —

The scene is laid in an old English
inn called “The Cat and Merrie. Pig
Tail.” The plot centers around the
transformation of Plait. The charac-
ters are like Marionettes in their ac-
tions and words.

The stunt, written in verse form,
was composed by Dell Bernhart.
Therefore we know it will be good.
The seniors are promising an after-
noon of clever and original entertain-
ment with this presentation of one of
‘the best stunts ever given at Agnes

Fashion Show ee
By Sophomores A
Great Success

Lovely Costumes Furnished By
Froshin Company, of
Atlanta.

Agnes Scott certainly provides a
variety of entertainments for its stu-
dents. On Wednesday night we had
a truly novel affair—a Fashion Show!
Fashion is the subject dearest of all
to the heart of a woman, and the
Fashion Show was an event of great-
est interest. It was charming and
delightfully planned. The costumes
were furnished by Frohsin’s and were
lovely. ‘The jshow was opened by
Mary Lyons, dressed in a quaint, be-
ruffled costume, and Ellen Fain, in a
boy’s suit of black satin. Then all

eyes were turned to the door through |

which the Fashion Queen, Lucy Oli-
ver, was entering. She was lovely

in a robe of heavy white satin em-|

broidered in pearls and rhinestones.
She was preceded by two little maids,
Virginia Peeler and Elizabeth Moore,
in dresses of white organdy. _ Next
to enter were the Spirits of Fashion
in dancing costumes of black and
white. They were Elizabeth Little,
Edith Carpenter, Helena Hermance,
Frances Cooper, Edith Gilchrist and
Sara Slaughter, and they added much
to the entertainment with their songs
and dances. Then came the real dis-
play of clothes—dresseg chic, demure
and stunning—a frock for every type.
The first was Peggy Rankin,all ready
for a day at the country club, in a
yellow knitted sports suit and a large
hat of yellow straw. Next, Grace
Boone strolled in a charming afternoon
dress of green with a hat to match.
Then who should appear but a real
golfer, Mary Freeman. As she was
dancing around over the green, an-
other charming girl of sport entered—
Dell Bernhardt, in a costume of white
with a black tie and scarf. Gene
Dumas, all ready for luncheon in a
shawl dress was the next upon the
stage. A lovely model, worn by Ruth
Johnson, consisted of a black dress
and coat to match, appliqued in white.
Elizabeth Clark wore a demure dress
of green crepe with a hat of a con-

Classical Club Presents An
Interesting Program
in Greek.

Whether the audience was versed
in classic lore to the extent of un-
derstanding everything that was said
at the last meeting of the Classical
Club or not, is not known. But fail-
ure to understand didn’t keep them
from enjoying the program presented
by the Greek classes. Every mem-
ber took part and under the able
direction of Miss Campbell an inter-
esting program was prepared.

Greek quotations were recited, the
Kyrie Bleison (which is still sung
at certain masses) was sung by a full
chorus, and Sappho’s sublime love
ode which was sung at a previous
meeting, in Latin, was sung again in
Greek.

Equally charming and interesting
were the selections from Greek plays
which were presented. Eunice Kell
and Evelyn Eastman took part in a
scene representing the crossing of
the Styx. This was interpreted by
Frances Lincoln.

Another scene showing a_ typical
Greek home was presented by the
Greek IV class with Sarah Fullbright
and Margaret McDow as two Greek
women of rank; Sally Horton as a
little boy, and Marion Strauss and
Elizabeth Shaw as the two maids.

This program was well arranged
and greatly enjoyed by every mem-
ber of the classical club present.

May Day Scenario Vi

And Cast Chosen

Louise Buchanan’s Winning
Scenario To Be Used
Later.

Peeler, Slaughter, and Sevier
Have Leading Parts.

Greek mythology has once more
been given the preference and is ayain
going to furnish the plot for a typi-
eal Agnes Scott May Day festiv«);
although -the—-winning scenario was
not of the mythological type.

From the scenarios written on the
subjects suggested by the May Day
Committee, that of Louise Buchanan
was chosen. Louise’s scenario is of
the Old English type bringing in Rob-
in Hood in the beautiful setting of
the Sherwood forest. But since Dr.
McCain will be inaugurated on the
date set for May Day and visitors
will be present from many colleges,
the faculty requested that a typical
subject be chosen for the fete. And
so the committee has selected for this
year the scenario used in 1919, which
is Greek. Next year, however, the
Robin Hood plot will be used and
there will be no tryouts.

The story of this year’s scenario
is as follows:

‘The coming of the new season
brings the Nymphs of Spring to a
woodland grove, in front of which
stands a pillared shrine sacred to
Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.
When their dance is ended, Psyche,
loveliest of all maidens, and her
playmates come to frolic in the grove,
while Psyche is dancing with her com-
panions, Aphrodite, tall and regal
goddess, with her stately attendants,
move about in ceremonial dance and
at her bidding the poppy-wreathed
Spirits..of Sleen—surneynd . Psyche
within the grove.

Then, in the interlude, the Spirits
of Summer circle about the shrine in
their dance until they are driven away
by the Nymphs of Autumn. Autumn
in turn gives way to the Spirits of
Winter. Then the coming of the
Nymphs of Spring once more marks
the end of the interlude and the con-
tinuation of the story of Psyche.

At Aphrodite’s command Psyche is
laid under the spell of the shadows
of night. With them come the Fire-
flies. The mischievous spirits, Im-
agination, Discontent, and Curiosity,
tempt Psyche to her harm, but for-
giveness is granted her and Hermes
comes to bring her the precious
draught of immortality. As the cou-
ple .move befare the shrine, from
the back of it come four tiny spir-
its bringing a crown of flowers for
Psyche.

The following cast was chosen for
May Day:

Psyche—Virginia Peeler.

Aphrodite—Sarah Slaughter.

Mercury—Virginia Sevier.

Spring and Autumn—Eugenia Per-
kins, Frances Tennent, Emily Erlich,
Kathrine Goodrich, Dell Bernhardt,
Lillian Clement.

Fireflies—M, Crow, M. Gholston, A.
Edwards, E. Eastman, M. Shaw.

Playmates—Mary Freeman, Susie
Stokes, Louise Lewis, Frances Lips-
comb, Isabel Clarke.

Sleep—Sarah Shields, Dora Ferrel,
Ruth Harrison, Virginia McDonald.

Attendants of Aphrodite—Jean Doz-
ier, Mary Weems, Theodosia Hollings-
worth, Maurine Bledsoe.

Dreams—Ruth Owen, Rosalind
Janes, Louise Woodard, Frances Tur-
ner, Elizabeth Clark, Isabel Breiten-

|bucher, Anne Johnson, Mary Smith,

Margaret Burnlee, Eloise Harris, Eve-
lyn Satterwhite, Grace Bargeron.

Mortal—Emily Nelson, Lora Tur-
ner, Louise Lovejoy, Helen Farmer,
B. Berry, Edith Richards, Cleo Mc-
Lauren, Leone Bowers, Virginia Baird,
Lelia Joiner.

Summer—Jane Smith, Betty Woot-
en, M. Edmondson, Susie Clayton,
Vera Hickman, Ann Hays, Emily
Stead, K. Pittman, Gertrude Henry,
Carolyn McKinney, Virginia Watts,
Mabel Dumas.

Justice Florence Allen of

Ohio Speaks On
World Peace

Noted Lecturer Charms Audi-
ence of Agnes Scott
Students.

The Agnes Scott Lecture Associa-
tion in bringing Justice Florence E.
Allen, of the Supreme Court of Ohio,
to speak at the college, deserved and
received unanimous’ thanks. Her
stimulating lecture, “The Next Step
in World Peace” was one that cannot
soon be forgotten. Judge Allen spoke
Saturday evening of the 15th, at
eight-thirty o’clock, in the college
auditorium. Dr. McCain in his usual
satisfying manner, introduced the dis-
tinguished speaker to the large audi-
ence that had gathered to hear her.

Judge Allen. prefaced her lecture
with a few remarks on the coming
into her own of woman in various
directions, but more especially in the
field of government and politics. She
told how Lucy Stone, one of the pio-
neer leaders of the woman movement,
had not been allowed to read her un-
usually brilliant graduating essay,
simply because it was not seemly that
a woman speak from a platform; and

: how, in later years, Lucy Stone from

that same college platform professed
to be greatly encouraged since the
eggs that were thrown at women
speakers were no longer rotten, as in
the beginning.

Judge Allen’s formulation of the
“Next Step in World Peace” was a
thing so simple, so almost obvious in
its effectiveness that it seems most
strange that such a thing has not
been considered and tried long before.
What she deemed a fundamental step
in bringing permanent peace to the
world is,that, the: nations, legally and
definitely, shall declare war unlawful
and wholly wrong. No such declara-
tion exists at the present time and
therefore any nation who so desires
has a legal right to make war on any
other nation. This outlawing of war
may be accomplished by statutes of
the nations, by treaties between na-
tions, or by any way that seems
feasible: It can be enforced by eco-
nomic pressure and by all-powerful

Dr. Williams Gives IIlus-
trated Lecture at Y. W.
C. A. Meeting.

One of the most interesting pro-
grams of the year was Dr. Williams’
illustrated lecture at Y. W. C. A.
service on Sunday, March 16. Dr.
Williams is sent out by the Y. W.
C. A. Board at Nashville, and is con-
sidered one of their most pleasing
and well-informed speakers. From
his tours in many countries he has
gathered an unusual amount of in-
formation on Mission work, which he
presents successfully.

Illustrations, of course, add inter-
est to any lecture, and Dr. Williams’
were so aptly chosen and well ex-
plained that he obtained an unbroken
attention from his audience. The
pictures were, for the most part,
those that he himself took, and each
was, therefore, accompanied by anec-
dotes and personal experiences. His
talk covered a wide range of terri-
tory, including Africa, South Amer-
ica, China, Japan, Korea, and Mexico.

Dr. Williams says that all Foreign
Mission work is classed under three
heads: Evangelistic, Educational, and
Medical. He gave us a comprehen-
sive idea of each of these fields. He
showed the methods of travel which
the evangelists, especially, employ.
These were often rather amusing,
since they ranged all the way from
wheelbarrows to the justly famous

ctory In Debate Here; Defeat

Newcomb ®

Friday Night a Time of Much
Excitement At Three Col-
leges; Neweomb Wins
Double Victory.

The fourth annual triangular debate
between Randolph-Macon, Sophie
Newcomb and Agnes Scott was held
Friday night, March 21, Agnes
Seott’s negative went to Sophie New-
comb this year and Randolph-Macon’s
negative were our opponents here.

As ever at such debates excitement
stirred the campus for days but the
climax came Friday night. At least
an hour before the debate the chapel
was crowded with Agnes Scott girls
and many Randolph-Macon alumnae
from Atlanta and our own alumnae,
among these being “Bobby” Posey, one
of last year’s debaters against Ran-
dolph-Macon.

Quenelle Harrold, a graduate of 1923
and for two years a member of the
inter-collegiate debating teams, hav-
ing debated with Ruth Hall at Sophie
Newcomb once and at Randolph-Ma-
con once, presided. The first speaker
of the affirmative was Pocahontas
Wight and Bowers MacKorell present-
ed the first negative argument, The
last speakers were Daisy Frances
Smith and Evelyn Thompson. The
debate was hotly contested on the sub-
ject, “Resolved, that the United
States should adhere to the protocol
of the World Court of International
Justice under the Reservations as pro-
posed by President Harding.” The
tandolph-Macon debaters proved them-
selves to be indeed “foemen worthy of
their steel,” hut the decision was
two to one in favor of Agnes Scott.

A few minutes later we received the
decision feom ®-th of the other cal-. -
leges and Sophie Neweomb had won
both at home over our negative and

Emory Glee Club Is Enjoyed
By Agnes Scott
Audience.

The Glee Club of Emory University,
Emory, Georgia, presented their 1923-
24 concert March 22, in the chapel.
The club, composed of the University
orchestra, the club singers and the
jazz orchestra, offered a delightful-
ly varied and highly entertaining pro-
gram.

Part one was purely musical, Or-
chestra and Glee Club numbers were
followed by Sam Proger’s artistic in-
terpretation of Schubert-Wilhelmj’s
“Ave Maria.” Next, Cecil Bowers,
one of the Glee Club’s most talented
singers, rendered “God Touched the
Rose.” Then came a group’of piano
solos played by Alton O’Steen, a well-
known genius in Southern musical
circles. “The Parade of the Wood-
en Soldiers,” which he played as an
encore, was most enthusiastically re-
ceived. Part one then concluded with
Schubert’s “The Erlking,” by the
Glee Club.

The entertainers next entered into
the humorous part of their program.
Part two was devoted primarily to a
farce, “Charley’s Aunt.” | Edgar Bol-
ing as a winsome Spanish woman, was
undoubtedly the star of the playlets
Other participants in the skit weve
Bennett Bilbry, Ernest Hartsock and
Chess Lagomarsino. The selections
rendered by the quartet, Sheppe, Bak-
er, Sharpe and McBride, were deserv-
ing of high mention, especially “Lit-
tle Jack Horner,” which received great
applause.

Tommy’s Jazz Orchestra, assisted
by Chess Lagomarsino, a fantastic
dancer and Joe Turner, a tenor, fur-
nished life and pep for the entire per-
formance. The jazz selections reached
a climax in the popular piece “Dee-
Daddy-Dunn,” which was sung by
Lagomarsino and Turrier, its com-
poser.

The delightful concert then eh
with the Alma Mater. The audience
joined in the spirit of the song an
heartily hailed the Gold and Blue.

AN IMPERATIVE NEED OF REFORM IN AUDITING SYSTEM.

We return again to one of our pet subjects—the auditing sys-
tem. For the past two years we have been advocating a reform
in this department of the Student Government Association. How-
ever, until the present it has never seemed possible to change the
system now in operation. Lower House has recently taken the
subject up and has been discussing various innovations, which
would tend to correct the unsatisfactory conditions now evident
in the business methods of our organizations.

Not much interest is usually taken in the auditing system,
because it is something that never touches the students directly.
Everybody knows that there is an officer who inspects the books
of each business manager, but there are never any direct reports
to the students. The girls hence fail to realize that our present
system is conducive to very lax methods in keeping accounts and
often opens the way to grave dangers of a financial nature. For
instance, the Silhouette at present, we are told, owes a debt of
over five hundred dollars to Bell and Company, of Virginia, No-
body in college now can be held responsible for this, and the debt
has been forgotten. And, also, two years ago the Agonistic found
itself facing a debt of six hundred dollars and having absolutely no
resources with which to pay it. Nobody knows how the paper
came to owe this amount, and the matter has not yet been ex-
plained. However, the Agonistic has fortunately been able to
meet its obligations. Such conditions are inexcusable and should
not be tolerated when a few readjustments would remedy the sit-
uation.

No. complete plan has as yet been suggested. To some the
reform does not seem imperative, for as a usual thing our busi-
hess managers are careful and accurate. We think, however, that,
the sooner this evil is corrected, the better it will be for the col-
lege. There is no use to wait until something goes wrong. We
should act at once. Lower House has been considering several
suggestions and we hope that from these an efficient system can
be arranged. We should like to hear some discussion of the mat-
ter among the students and should like also to hear helpful sug-
gestions made to Lower House.

It seems to us that the basis of a good system lies in more
accurate and uniform bookkeeping. All business managers should
have similar account books and should adopt a uniform method of
entering their records upon the books. A full statement of all
receipts and expenditures should be kept. It is said that the re-
cords of business managers are often only partial statements.
This would make it an easy matter for the auditor to detect mis-
takes at once. Then, at the end of the year the books of each or-
ganization should be left at the college with some responsible per-
son connected with the faculty or business administration of the

college. Thus, there would be no question as to the financial status
of an organization at any time. Also, a statement of receipts and

~expenditures might be published in the Agonistic at the end of

each month, or at least at the end of the year. These innovations
seem to us to be improvements on the old system. We do not
say that they are the best ways of reforming the present con-
{ them as methods that are worth thinking
‘ybout. We hope that with the help and advice of the students
Lower House will be able to improve the auditing system greatly.

THE

FLORENCE E. ALLEN.

It is the unanimous opinion of the
Agnes Scott community that Judge
Florence BE. Allen is one of the most
charming speakers that has ever vis-
ited the campus. Altho she was here
a very short time—she left at six
o'clock Sunday morning—several en-
tertainments were given in her honor.
First of these was a mid-day lunch-
eon in the Tea Room, given by Miss
Hearon. Those present were: Judge
Al iss McKinney, Miss Davis
s Hearon.
ss Hopkins entertqined for her
at a six o’clock dinner of five courses
the private dining room of the

party was composed of Judge Allen,
Dr. McCain, Miss Smith, Mrs. Syden-
stricker, Miss Hearon and Miss Hop-
kins. After dinner they were joined
in the living room by Miss Davis and
Mrs. Rowell, of Atlanta, her guest,
where they were served coffee.

During the afternoon she was
taken to Stone Mountain, She was
delighted both with it and the work
being done on the mammoth Con-
federate Memorial:

After the lecture an informal re-
ception was given in the lobby of
Rebekah Scott, at which the students
and visitors were given the oppor-
tunity of meeting our distinguished

FELLOWSHIPS FOR STUDY OF
SOCIAL WORK.

The New York School of Social
Work is offering fellowships for the
study of social work to twelve men
and women in the colleges and univer-
sities of the United States, according
to an announcement made public by
the director of the school, Porter R.
Lee, Four awards of $1,200 each
are open to graduating students of
both sexes, and provide for a year of
study in New York. Under the plan
announced, the fellowships will be
granted on the basis of competitive
examinations, the last date for filing
applications for entrance is April 19.

Surprise was expressed that ten of
the fellowships had been reserved ex-
elusively for college men in the junior
and senior classes. These are for
$155 each and are planned to cover
necessary tuition and living expenses
while the holder of the scholarship
is attending the summer session of
1924. All applications should be ad-
dressed to Mr. Lee at 105 East 22d
Street, New York.

“In offering these ten fellowships
to college men,” said Mr. Lee in giv-
ing out the statement, “The New
York School of Social Work wishes to
give students who haye completed
their junior year an opportunity to
attend a summer session in New York,
for the purpose of introducing them
to the field of social work as a pos-
sible profession, These awards will
be made according to the qualifica-
tions of the individual applicants, and
May 10th has been set as the last ap-
plication date for them.”

FOLIO MEETS WITH MRS.
DIECKMANN.

The Freshman English teachers
should feel that they are receiving
the rewards of their labors in the
large number of “daily theme eyes”
which are being developed among the
members of the Folio Club. At a
recent meeting with Mrs. Dieckmann,
who entertained us graciously as well
as directed our meeting into pleasant
ways. of interest and worth while
ways of value, there were evidences
of the cultivation of this power of
observation plus imagination when
Grace Augusta Ogden, Miriam Pres-
ton, Dorothy Chamberlain and Susan
Clayton read stories which were both
interesting and well written. As the
light of the open fire cast a glow of
friendliness on us we discussed the
merits and demerits of these stories.
Olive Hall then took charge of the
meeting and the officers for the new
year were elected. Miriam, Preston
was chosen president and * Louise
Capen secretary. Although we were
extremely sorry to see the Soph-
omores leave, we are sure that under
the leadership of the new officers
Folio will continue to achieve the
great success which has character-
ized her past. :

Giddie darling,

What’s the use o’ writin’ forty
Neven letters when Spring holidays
are so near? Well—all of us can’t
go home and that’s why. Anyway,
Agnes Scott or home,.we are going
to sling the old books aside and say
to ourselves, “Ignorance is bliss.”

Guess you’ve heard all about the

baters, it isn’t even funny—Daisy
and all the rest. Furthermore, de-
bating season brings with it in-
mumerable social activities which we
don’t frown down upon by any
means,

Miss Davis’ sociology class hasn’t
yet decided on the “Ideal Man” be-
eause opinion seems to vary. Now,
who would think it—but one of our
chief literary lights says she wants
a man who has lived in the mount-

ains and is brown and strong. Then)

one of the girls says her husband
ean do anything except wear a
striped shirt. And still another
specifies that her “ideal” mist not

complete statistics have not been

By the way—I know you've heard
of boys flirting with college girls be-
fore, but I bet they don’t flirt with
the teachers at every school. One of
our faculty says that when the De-
catur boys see an A. S, student they
always say, “Hello, Miss Agnes,” and
when they see her they say, “Hello,
Mrs. Scott.”

Have you heard about M. Chapin?
She has been mighty happy lately—
wonder why?

Now, here I am—about to forget
to tell you about our fashion show.
Clothes may not make the man, but
they surely help to make the woman.

still they claim that the play “Con-

The play is humorous, interesting
and highly original, in fact so
original is it that the Juniors dis-

March 14 ushered in an event of
great social importance at Emory
University. The University Commit-
tee on Student Activities and Organi-
zations realized that the social
side of college life had been neglected,
and that the Little Commencement
would mean much to Emory in this
way. The Deans’ Council granted
a holiday on March 15, their quota
towards the success of the occasion.

VICTORY IN DEBATE HERE; DE-

FEAT AT SOPHIE NEWCOMB.
(Continued frem Page 1, Column 5)

at Randolph-Macon over their affir-
mative.

This is the fourth triangular de-
bate that has been held between
these three Southern colleges, Ran-
h-Mitton, Sophie Newcomb and
s Scott, but before the triangu-
debate Agnes Scott and Sophie
Newcomb had met in three debates.
Special interest is taken in these de-
bates each year because they are the

only inter-collegiate contests in which

we take part. Agnes Scott has an

enviable record in these four con-

tests, having won six out of eight
debates, but after all, it is not the
winning or the losing of a single de-
bate that truly counts but it is the

spirit in which we enter the contest
and the better friendship it promotes
between Agnes Scott, Randolph-Ma-
con and Sophie Newcomb.

Agnes Scott feels proud of the ex-
cellent work her six intercollegiate
debaters did this year. Daisy Fran-
ces leaves a record of three intercol-
legiate debates in which she has won,
having been on the team her sopho-
more, junior and senior years. Poca-
hontas has also been in two debates, |
her sophomore and junior years, while
Olive and Frances have ‘not been on
the teams before. We are proud of
the excellent work they have done|
this year. And to our alternates, Isa- |
bel and Virginia, much of our success
is due for their splendid work. We}
are proud of this year’s work and we)
eagerly anticipate the contest of 1925.
ENTERTAINMENTS FOR THE

RANDOLPH-MACON DEBATERS

Not since the days of last com-
mencement has Agnes Scott witness-
ed as many social functions as were
given to the Randolph-Macon debat-
ers. Breakfasts, luncheons, dinners,
with various other meals thrown in,
followed one upon the other in rapid
succession.

The first of the activities began
Thursday at noon, soon after the ar-
tival of our guests, with a luncheon
served in Rebekah Scott dining hall.
Two tables thrown together in the
middle of the hall were beautifully
decorated with sweet peas and appro-
priate place cards. Only the two
teams, the two former presidents of
Pi Alpha..Phi, and some friends of the
Randolph-Macon, girls were seated at |
the tabl®: The whole dining room,
however, took part in greeting the}
visiting speakers and followed the in- |

troduction of each of the girls with
appropriate songs.

At four o’clock Thursday afternoon
the alumnae of Randolph-Macon in
Atlanta gave a tea for both the Ran-
dolph-Macon and the Agnes Scott
This was held at Druid Hills
and was a most enjoyable affair.

teams.

Following close upon this came a
banquet by Pi Alpha Phi in the tea
room. This was attended by the two
teams, and the twelve members of
Pj Alpha Phi who had done concen-
trated work on the debate and several
former members of Pi Alpha Phi.
After the banquet coffee was served
in the drawing room to the banquet
guests and all the members of Pi
Alpha Phi.

Friday began with a breakfast at
the tea room given to the two teams
by Nell Buchanan. Later in the day
the tea room was the scene of another
attractive affair. A luncheon was
held by the Student Government Asso-
ciation for the two teams amid love-
ly decorations, much merriment, and
the presence of prominent campus dig-
nities.

We omit Friday night from this
account for doubtless you have heard
or witnessed what the debaters did
then. But not daunted by their la-
bors of the night before they were
out again Saturday morning to at-
tend a most attractive breakfast party
which Pocahontas Wight gave in the
tea room.

The social affairs were ended, and
also ¢climaxed, by the Pi Alpha Phi
luncheon given at East Lake Country
Club Friday noon. Covers were laid
for sixteen people including the two
teams and officers and certain com-
mittee members of Pi Alpha Phi.

The miracle that still remains un-
solved is how Mary Ann Me-
Kinney, who had charge of the enter-
tainment committee, could crowd so
many social affairs, to say nothing of
the debate itself, into forty-eight
hours and still have as many guests
left to tell the tale as she had in the
beginning.

Senior Class
handsomest—C harlotte
From a recent announcement, we
feel safe in stating that the ‘23
Seniors are not the only ones who
think Charlotte the handsomest girl.
This announcement is no less than
that “General ad Mrs. Samuel
Reaves Keesler, of Grenwood, Miss.,
announce the engagement of their
daughter, Charlote Wright, and
James LeGrand Everett, Jr. of
Rockingham, N. C., the wedding to
take place in Greenwood, April 9th.”
Mary Keesler is to be an attendant
in the wedding. re

Mr. Everett is a graduate of the
University of North Carolina, and is
now associated with his father in the

manufacturing business. Like his
bride, he is exceedingly popular
wherever he goes.

Martha McIntosh always was, art-
istic and original; and her marriage
ceremony to Mr. George Walker Noll
on March 12th was one lovely proof
after another of the bride’s talent.
It abounded in all sorts of new and
charming features. The bridesmaids
wore silk dresses, rainbow colors, and
trimmed, some in gold lace, and some
in silver. The bride herself designed
them. They carried shepherd’s
crooks, adorned on top with bunches
of sweet peas. Among the brides-
maids were Misses Margaret Wood,
’25, and Lucile Little, ’23, of A. S. C,
The bride was dressed in white, and
crowned with a wreath of orange
blossoms. She made a lovely picture
as she walked down the aisle of the
Albany Church, which was beauti-
fully decorated in Southern smilax.
Miss Lillian McAlpine sang a solo
just before the ceremony.

As a memento, Martha gave to
each of her maids a hand-painted
miniature of herself. It is interest-
ing to note that all four of the
brides’ grand-parents attended the
wedding of their grandchildren.

A charming reception was then
held at the home of the bride, where
the front porch was inclosed as a
Japanese garden, and inverted Japan-
ese umbrellas formed the ceiling.
Oriental scenery was also carried out
inside the house.

After the reception Mr, and Mrs.
Nall went straight to Washington,

Mah Jong Cabaret

Presented By Seniors
Saturday, April 5

Chinese Songs and Dances On
Program

The Mah Jong Cabaret, given by
the Seniors on last Saturday night,
Hwas a novel and delightful affair.
# The tea room seemed a romantic cor-
ner of old China. Peach blossoms,
Chinese idols and brilliantly colored
Hianterns were used as decorations
afid made quite a lovely scene. The
tables were placed near the walls of
fithe room, leaving space for dancing;
and here at eight o’clock, the mem-
bers of the college community gath-
ered for a pleasant evening.

Nine Chinese maids in gorgeously
bright costumes attended to the wants
of the guests. Dainty menus with
hand-painted Chinese figures were to
be found on each table. The maids
were Barron Hyatt, Beulah Davidson,
Helen Lane Comfort, Lillian McAl-
pine, Margaret McDow, Mary Greene,
Dick Scandrett, Margaret Griffin and
Margaret Powell.

Most of the evening was spent in
dancing, but other entertainment was
offered also. First, a Chinese curio
shop containing wares of most extra-
ordinary nature might be visited.
Here were displayed queer looking
shoes, dresses, carved images, and
jewelry. Also some Chinese books
were interesting. Then, the Seniors
presented a program of songs and
dances for their guests.
McAlpine, accompanied by Miss Cor-
inna Burman, “A Japanese

sang
Maid” and “Japanese Sandman,”
while a flute and guitar — duet,

“Chinese Lullaby,” was played ‘By
Miss Burman and Miss Alice Green-
lea. After this, Miss Mary Freeman
lighted her audience with a Chinese
dance.

This picturesque and colorful en-
tertainment was one of the most en-
joyed of the social events of the col-
lege year. The Senior cabaret is al-
ways eagerly anticipated, and this
year it undoubtedly fulfilled the ex-
pectations of the Agnes Scot stu-
dents and faculty. The great suc-
¢éss of this cabaret is due largely to
iMss Margaret Powell, president of
the Senior Class.

Mr. Stukes Represents
Agnes Scott At
Meeting Of Registrars

American Association of Col-
lege Registrars Hold
Meeting in Chicago

Mr. Stukes represented Agnes Scott
at a recent meeting of the American
Association of College Registrars held
in Chicago. There were over two
hundred registrars and several presi-
dents in attendance—colleges of al-
most every state in the union being
-represented,

The meeting was opened with an
address by President Burton of Uni-
versity of Chicago. His subject was
“Business of a College.” The theme
of his discourse was the aim of the
college should be to develop indiv-
iduality, and to inspire students to fur-
ther work. The deadening effects of
routine courses should be avoided and
initiative and interest of the student
should be developed.

After the opening address several
subjects were taken up and discussed
by the association. The first of these
was the discussion of the method of
admission of students and was led by
Dr. Wood of Columbia University. He
pointed out the fact that the present
method of admission by certificate or
by examination is unsatisfactory and
argued for use of psychology tests,
holding that no amount of High Schoo]
study is sufficient unless there is a

At Agnes Scott

“Aéronautics” Subject of His
Illustrated L cture

Dr. Joseph S. Ames, Dean of Jonns
Hopkins, and head of the Physics De-
partment there, delivered a most in-
teresting illustrated lecture on “Aero-
nautics,” in the chapel of Agnes Scott
on Thursday, April 10th, He was
the last speaker on this year’s pro-
gram as presented by the Leeture
Association, and the only scientist
who has lectured to the college this
year.

For many years a professor of
Physies at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Ames
is a. well known figure in the scien-
tific World. He is a member of the
National ,Council of Science and of
the National Research Council, as
well as being the author of severai
standard text books on physics, the
one used in our own physics depart-
ment among others. A few years
ago he was called to London by the
Royal Academy to delifer there a
lecture on aeronautics. ~

Dr. Ames is not only among. the
most competent physicists of the day,
but is also a delightful speaker, as
his college audience unanimously at-
test. While in Atlanta he lectured
to Emory and to the Johns Hopkins
Alumni of Atlanta also.

who was a student of Dr. Ames at
Johns Hopkins.

Agnes Scott Alumnae
Sponsor Poetry
Contest

Charles Towne, Bliss

Perry and Amy Lowell
To Be Judges
Fifteen Poems Have Been
Handed In

Poets at Agnes Scott have recent-
ly had more than the usual incentive
for inspiration from the poetry con-
test sponsored by a group of Agnes
Scott Alumnae. These alumnae have
opened the contest to both graduates
and present students at Agnes Scott.
Their purpose in so doing was to en-
courage creative work among the
students. Any form of verse was
permitted to be used.

The group of Alumnae feel very
fortunate in being able to secure as
judges of the contest authors of such
prominence and nation-wide recogni-
tion as the following:

Charles Hanson Towne, both an
editor and an author, who has pub-
lished several books of poems. He is
now managing editor of McClure’s
magazine and a contributor of verse
to all the leading magazines. Some
of his best known poems are:
“Youth,” “Beyond the Stars,” “Au-
tumn Loiterers,” lyrics for Offen-
bach’s celebrated opera, “La Belle
Helene.”

Bliss Perry, professor of English
literature at Harvard, is a member of
the American Academy of Arts and
Letters. He is famous as the author
of “Broughton House,” ‘Powers at
Play,” and as general editor of the
Cambridge editions of the Poets.

Amy Lowell has a nation-wide rep-
utation as being among the foremost
women poets of America. She is a
member of both the Poetry Society

Juniors Present ‘‘I
Promise’ By Larson
Mattox Saturday Night

Featured By Clever Songs and
Dances

On Saturday night, April thir-
teenth, the Junior Class presented a
play, “I Promise,’ written by Lar-
Son Mattox. This was a very inter-
esting three-act play, the setting and
characters of which were essentially
modern.

The play opened in the lobby of
|a hotel at some summer resort, and
immediately the two leading men,
|Jimmy Van Buren, played by Ruth
Harrison, and Teddy Dean, played by
Frances Lincoln, were introduced.
There is a very derogatory conversa-

and challenges an interest in it.

As a very vital aid in solving the
general unrest in spiritual matters
which is such a problem of today, the
study of Bible was presented by Mrs.
Sydnestricker, head of the Depart-
ment. The struggle of the fundament-
alists and modernists was discussed as
an age-old struggle beginning back in
the times of the early church and
which can only be understood by a
careful study of the history of Re-
ligion as well as by a study of the
Bible itself.

4th, through April 6th. Seventy-
four delegates went from Brenau,
Shorter, Wesleyan, Agnes Scott,
Georgia State College for Women,
University of Georgia, State Normal
School, Piedmont and LaGrange.

The site of the meeting was espe-
cially well chosen as Camp Highland
has a wide spread reputation for the
beauty of the surrounding mountains
and valleys. The location of the
camp is excellent as well as are the
huts that sheltered the delegates.

The conference was under the lead-
ership of three Y. W. C. A. secre-
taries, Miss Gladys Vinson, Miss
Katherine Lumpkin and Miss Fannie
Belle Outler, Miss Mary Wilson from
Wesleyan was chairman of the pro-
gram committee and conducted all
the services.

Meetings were held morning, after
noon and night when the business and

cussed and proper preparation for
next year was obtained. A joint
meeting was held Sunday with the
delegates of the Y. M. C. A. council
which had its headauarters at Emorv.

ises to rush one of the flappers, Jack
Henny, for three days, to the exelu-
sion of every other girl. Of course,
just as Teddy signs this contract, he
discovers that Nan Carrington, the
girl of his choice has come to the
hotel for a few days. He is “a
wreck,” but his contract is binding,
and he can do nothing. Jimmy quite
naturally decides to rush Nan. and
so does the plot thicken.

The second act opens with a scene
in the alcove adjoining the hall room
where Nan and Jimmy are found
talking. Just at this point the
dancers, the “Reck and Reckless”, ap-
pear. A very clever dance is given
by these two, who were Jean Dozier
and Frances Tennent. The complica-
tions of the play continue. Nan un-

derstanding not at all Teddy’s actions,
and being made, finally, to believe
that he really cares for Jack, when
she accidentally sees him, snpposedly,
kissing her. And it is only in the
last act, when Jimmy decides that ‘he
loves Jack and straightway marries
her, that Nan and Teddy achieve a
reconciliation, and Teddy signs quite
a different contract,

The play as a whole was very ex-
cellently worked out, and was great-
ly enjoyed by all of the college com-
munity.

Walker, Gertrude Green, and Emily

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS.

Are you one of those who stop reading when you find adver-
tisements are coming next? Do you read only the jokes in the
Agonistic, the short stories in the Aurora and stop in the Silhou-
ette when the pictures end? Have you even stopped to realize
just what we owe to these Atlanta and Decatur friends who ad-
vertise in the columns of our publications? We fear that every
student at Agnes Scott is guilty of throwing away the paper’s
without noticing the advertisements, so the Agonistic wishes in
this issue to especially eall attention to those firms who are ad-
vertising in our publications this year.

The advertisements make it possible for Agnes Scott to have
her three publications, the Agonistic, the Aurora and the Silhou-
ette. In each issue you will find the names of the Atlanta and
Decatur firms who have made that issue possible. Won’t you
read these over before you begin your shopping. We may show
our appreciation of their friendship by buying from those firms.

Spring has come and with it the time to replenish our ward-
robes, so just now, befor you do your shopping, look in your
Agonistic and see the firms who want our patrnage enough to
advertise there. Or in passing through the hall, stop a minute
to read the advertisers who have already given us ads for the
1924 Silhouette. You will find drug stores, hat shops, ready-to-
wear stores—in fact every kind—buy from them. Patronize our
advertisers. ais

Perhaps the most enjoyable occasion
was the dance given in the gym on
Monday night, March 31. This was
quite a “swell” affair. Girls who could
lead posed as dashing young gentle-
men and made dates with other girls,
who appeared in evening dress. At
eight o’clock the dance began. About
ten couples were present, and since
there were no stags, a whistle was
blown from time to time as a signal
for changing partners. A Paul Jones
or a grand march was executed in a
most lively manner at frequent inter-

vals throughout the evening. At about)

nine o’clock there was an intermission,
during which time some of the cou-
ples strolled into the arbor at the side
of the gym, and others walked on
the colonnade. After the intermission,
the dance wns resumed, and it was
with deep regret that the chords cf
“Home Sweet Home” were heard. AlI-
though it did not last till the “wee,

sides were: “This is the cutest dauce

MEETING IN THE ALUMNAE
HOUSE

A most delightful meeting of B. 0.
Z. was held March 26 in the Alumnae
House with Mrs, Dieckmann as host-
ess.

The stories which were read varied
in subject matter, but they were all
unusually interesting and led to de-
lightful discussions. “Sister Simplice,”
by Grace Augusta Ogden was full of
the atmosphere of an old French con-
vent near the Gulf coast. The local
color and the description was especial-
ly good and was enjoyed by all,
“Chivalry,” by Janice Brown, was a
charming story of a young bride who
learned that there is chivalry in the
twentieth century as well as in the
days of King Arthur. “Paintings in
Oil,’ my Mary Anne McKinney charm-
ed everyone, and before the evening
was over “Jemmie” and “Ken” were

Miss Anna Meade was recently the
guests of friends in Inman.

Miss Janice Brown has had as her
guest for the past few days Miss
Frances Harper, a graduate of '22.

The dances in Inman are attracting
quite a number of the Agnes Scott
girls from all over the campus. Espe-
cially are the Saturday night ones
“good.” Among those seen on the
floor last Saturday night were: Misses
Margaret Gholston, Kitty Johnson
Dora Ferrell, Catherine Mitchell, Sue
Wilds, Elizabeth Hart, Cephise Cart-
wright, Mitchell Moore, Gladys Lawton
and others.

Miss Ruth Johnston has been quite
ill with flue, but returned to the col-
lege community Friday and is once
more at work.

Miss Christine Lee, teacher of music
in Decatur High School, was the guest
of Elizabeth Gregory and Frances
Buchanan recently,

All the girls who spent the holidays

jhere at the college say that they had

much fun, but, since we were not here
we cannot say just exactly what form
that fun took. Any way, they say
they counted up the rules they broke,
and the number was ten!

We, in Inman, have settled down to
work once more—and also to bacon
and eggs!

Things are comparatively quiet
now that Spring Holidays are over.
Gladys Harbough, Maud Whittemore,
Valerie Folts, Ruby Hall and Louisa
Duls stayed here for their vacation.
Maude was particularly fortunate for

‘her mother was here the entire time,

and her sister also visited her. All
of them declare they had just as good
a time as those who went home. Rules
were off, there were friends and rela-
tives in Decatur and Atlanta to be
visited, and Mrs. Finnell fed them on
strawberry short-cake.

Sarah Tatum, who was called home
on account of the illness of her mother
two weeks before the holidays, is with
us again.

Lillie Pearl McElwaney has discov-
ered some good-looking first cousins
who live in College Park. She spent
Sunday with them.

Lillian Middlebrooks’ brother is al-
‘ways demonstrating how valuable such
relatives can be. He sent his new
Ford coupe to Starrsville for her
to drive around in while home for the
holidays. We know this for a fact be-
cause Lil and her roommate, Clyde
Passmore, came back in it. But we
can not swallow the record breaking
time they say they took for the trip.
Since she has been back, Lil has been
sporting a Georgia belt, but she won't
tell anybody about it.

Speaking of romance, one of the
Lupton girls who was in Southwest
Georgia during the holidays—that is
where the three who didn’t stay here
went, so nothing is revealed—confesses
that she was really proposed to the
second night she was there. All we
can learn about the suitor is that he
reads Greek poems for recreation.

The two Louises, surnamed Har-

the only students over there to stay

every afternoon they had dates in

He advocated

are to be used by all colleges and are
tests of the ability of students to do
college work. Mr. Stukes is much in
favor of this plan.

Miss Mary Smith, of Wellesley, pre-
sented a plan for giving Freshmen
time during opening days to become
acquainted with one another and with
the college. The idea was that the
Freshman does not have time to ad-
just himself to the new evironment or
even get acquainted with other Fresh-
men before he has to get to work.
This might, in a measure, help to
meet the problem which was taken
up in the next discussion: “Saving
our Freshmen,” By this is meant

preventing the dropping out of such}

a large number after the first year.
By helping and encouraging the stu-
dents with their work the number of
failures might’ be made fewer; and
by developing an interest and aim in
the first year the Freshman might be
held in college longer. Mr. Stukes
feels that his trip was both beneficial
and pleasant.

Miss Hopkins gives Talk on
Courtesy and Etiquette
Friday Night

April 14 to 19 was Good Manners
Week at Agnes Scott. This was a
time set aside for concentrated ef-
forts for good manners. A stunt in
Chapel on Monday night began the
campaign by giving a general survey
of the deficiencies in Agnes Scott
girls’ manners. This stunt was spon-
sored by Hoasc. Polly Stone clever-
ly introduced the speaker of the eve-
ning, Mrs. Post, author of the “Book
of Etiquette,” who had just returned
from England, where she had been
giving instructions in etiquette to the
Prince of Wales. Mrs. Post (Frances
Bitzer) then gave an illustrated lec-
ture on good manners, the ilustra-
tions being ingeniously acted out by
Edythe Carpenter, Helena Hermance
and Helen Lane Comfort.

The ensuing days of the week were
devoted to special phases of good
manners. Tuesday was Library Day.
Wednesday emphasized table manners.
At dinner, the heads of the tables
noticed any breach in table etiquette,
and at supper that night a list of
these bad table manners was read
out, no names, of course, being at-
tached. Thursday dealt with conduct
in Chapel during lectures and prayers,
conduct on street cars, and getting to
church on time. Qn each morning,

Meeting of American
Assn. of Univ. Women
Held April 21-25

M iss Hea ron Attends
Conference at Washington

Miss Hearon spent the week of
April 21st at the thirty-ninth general
meeting of the American Association
of University Women, which was held
in Washington, D. C.

This Association is a combination
of the northern and southern associa-
tions of university women, and is a
mémber of the International Associa-
tion of University Women as well.
The convention had a very full pro-
gram for this year, the main subjects
for discussion being: Reports of com-
mittees concerning the work of the
association, the campaign for the pur-
chase of the Washington Headquar-
ters and Club Building, the reorgani-
zation and management of the Na-
tional A. A. U. W. Club; the financ-
ing of the activities of the associa-
tion; the educational program, the bi-
ennial conference of the International
Federation of University Women at
Christiania.

Miss Hearon is a member of the
committee on the recognition and ad-
mission of colleges and universities—
. the most important phase of the work
of this association. At present, in
the South, Agnes Scott, Westhamp-
ton College, Converse, Sophie New-
comb, and Randolph-Macon are the
Bonly colleges recognized in full by
Wi this organization. It is a great honor
i to be on the list and of the six hun-
) dred or more universities and col-
leges in the United States, one hun-
dred and thirty-four are at the pres-
ent time on its list of institutional
members, The committee on recogni-
Wition studies the conditions and work
of each institution, and sends back
i constructive criticism and suggestions
to the applying colleges, thus forming
the basic foundation upon which rests
j the entire work of the association.

realization of one of our
dreams and aspirations, a
camp where we could spend carefree
week-ends. Mr. Venable generously
donated the ground on which our long
desired camp has just’ been built and
the Athletic Association and the col-
lege community are Geeply indebted
to him and wish to ex ress their sin-
cerest thanks for hs appreciated
gift.

To introduce the collyge community
to our new camp at Stone Mountain,
the Athletic Association gave a tea
Saturday afternoon at the delightful

spot. A large number of the students
and faculty were ‘present at the
‘“honse-warming”’ and many desirable
and useful gifts were brought which
will add much to the beapty and con-
venience of the camp, After every-
one had explored each nook and cor-
ner and exhausted their store of ad-
jectives, tea and wafers were served,

The location of the eamp could not
be more ideal. Surmounting a pine
knoll, it affords a beautiful view of

woods and the lake that nestles at the

foot of the hill. Mr. J. Y¥. Arnold,
of the Arnold Construction Co., of
Elberton, Ga., was both Jesigner and
architect; and many thahks are “due
to him for the ideal arrangement of
the camp, which consists of living
room, kitchen and large sleeping
porch, which can accommodate about
a dozen girls.

So great was the attraction of the
camp that a whole party decided to
spend the week-end. Miss Pirkle was
the chaperon.

Those fortunate girls who stayed
were Nonie Peck, Lucy Oliver, Speedy
Wing, Helen Wright, Jinks Burt,
Emily Arnold, Margaret Ladd, Vir-
ginia Ordway, ’Gusta Thomas, Eliza-
beth Henry, Jack Evans, Wallsie
Perry, Edythe Coleman, Elizabeth
Little; Helena Hermance and Virginia
Peeler.

The Ahletic Association wishes that
every girl consider the camp her
own and take a personal interest in
it and it is their hope that each may
derive a great deal of pleasure from
the camp.

were so fascinated with the stone fire-

and the gift of the Junior and Fresh-

anan, the speaker of the morning and
a member of Hoase from the class of
1922;

Miss Buchanan spoke briefly about
the ideals of Hoase and about the ca-
pacity for service and leadership
which is characteristic of every mem-
ber of this organization. The names
of the seven new members were then
read, while the delighted andience ap-
plauded each announcement.

The formal initiation of the new
members took place on Tuesday night;
and after this ceremony a banquet was
given in the Tea Room.

The Senior members of Hoase are:
Bev.lah Davidson, president; Dick
Scandrett, Victoria Howie, Polly Stone,

Freshmen Give Mardi
Gras Ball, Saturday,
April 19th.

Minstrel and Dances
Features of Ball

Court,

Some class to the Freshmen! The
social talent of ’27 was proved by the
howling success of the masquerade
the Freshies gave in the gym last
Saturday evening. The old gym
would never have recognized itself; it
was so dressed up in balloons and in
crepe paper of all colors, some twined
about a pole in the center of the room,
some forming a ceiling effect, and
some decorating pretty little booths,
at which punch and cakes were served
during the evening. Lads and lasses
were there in plenty, the former wear-
ing mostly the colonial style of knee-
breeches (and many of them made
good-looking boys, too), and the latter
wearing evening dresses, but who they
were we really cannot tell, since the
entire assembly was well masked. The
dancing was quite the stuff—to the
music of four pieces of the real Rain-
bow Orchestra. Confetti had a prom-
inent place in the affair, too.

As an interim, the Freshies offered
several quite attractive stunts, made
more fascinating by spotlights. The
first was a court scene, featuring Vir-
ginia Sevier as judge, Mary Ferguson
as sheriff, and twelve jurors. The
court accused, convicted, and sentenced
to ridiculous punishments, Dick Scan-
drett, Emily Spivey, and Betty Ma-
lone. Then came the strolling min-
strels, Olive Gardener, Vivian Cooper,
Sarah Smith, and Evelyn Powell, look-
ing quite handsome in their “tux”
and blackened faces, and gave several
“taking” numbers. Eugenie Dozier
favored the company with a beautiful
Chinese dance. A grand march then
ended the evening’s festivities.

| Interesting Talks in Chapel
By Heads of English
and History
Departments

Miss Hearon and Dr. Salyer
Close Series of Faculty
Talks

Two of the most important courses
on the campus—History and Eng-
lish—were discussed in chapel the
latter part of last week by the heads
of those departments. No speakers
of this year have elicited from the
college community more enthusiastic
expressions of appreciation and en-
joyment than did Miss Hearon, of the
History department, and Dr. Salyer,
professor of English.

The subject of history was dis-
cussed first, on Thursday, April 10.
Miss Hearon has the happy faculty
of presenting her subject in such a
way as to captivate the interest and
attention of her audience.

One particularly impressive incident
which she related and which showed
the importance of history very point-
edly was one of her own experiences
in the teaching of this course. Hav-
ing asked one of her pupils the value
of history she received this reply,
“What would Woodrow Wilson have
done if he had not known history?”

Among other things Miss Hearon
said that there were laws of history
as well as laws of society; on these
laws our government has been found-
ed; if they are broken, our govern-
ment will fel!. One of her most sig-
nificant statements was that by know-
ing past histor, and by careful ad-
ministration of the present, the his-
tory of the future cow’! be made well
nigh perfect.

Her short talk was very impressive.
The students heard her with great
pleasure and, it is believed, with
profit.

The student body especially wel-
comed the address of Dr. S. M. Sal-
yer on Saturday, April 12, for two
principal reasons—first, because as a
new teacher, Dr. Salyer has never be-
fore addressed the student body as a
whole; and second, because he has de-
clared that they will never have the
pleasure of hearing him again.

In a most interesting talk on the
progress made in recent years in
methods of teaching and studying this
all-inclusive subject, Dr. Salyer advo-
cated the fact that to fully appreciate
and understand a nation’s literature,
one must be thoroughly acquainted
with the man behind the literature.
This theme was developed in a most
pleasing way and was enjoyed by
everyone present.

Bible Classes Hear
Interesting Speaker

Dr. Newman, Returned
Missionary Speaks on
Religion of Japan

Last Saturday morning, those girls
who are so fortunate as to take Bible

5 or 10, heard an interesting talk by
Dr. John C. Calhoun Newman on “The
Religions of Japan.” He discussed in-

terestingly and authoritatively the
origin and types of the Japanese peo-
ple, and Shintoism and Buddhism,
their principal religions. The former
is native; the latter, brought from In-
dia through China and Korea. Dr.
Newman is eminently fitted to talk
on this subject for he was for many
years a Methodist missionary, sta-
tioned at Kobe, Japan. After gradu-
ating from Johns Hopkins University,
he was connected with the Methodist
Mission College in Kobe, In this work,
he was associated with Bishop Lam-
beth, whom he admires greatly and
who helped him in establishing the
school. Agnes Scott has certainly been

portions of the Bible marked by Dr.
Gaines just before he died and which

vice. Dr. McCain led in prayer, and
Frances Gilliland sang, “There Shall
Be No Night There.” As a silent
tribute to Dr. Armistead, the entire
student body bowed their heads a few
moments, giving mutely that token of
their love and gratitude to him, with
which every heart was full, and for
which there was no adequate expres-
sion in words. After the singing of

Pi Alpha Phi Elects
Officers for Coming
Year,-Thursday Night

Eight New Members Initiated
At Last Meeting °

Although the Intercollegiate Debate
with Randolph-Macon and Sophie
Newcomb is over, Pi Alpha Phi’s ar-
gumentative zeal remains undiminish-
ed. This is attested by the fact that
seven new members were admitted
and formally initiated Thursday eve-
ning, April the 17th.

The club met at seven for a busi-
ness session, to elect the officers for

next year. These places, president,
Ellen Walker; vice-president, Olive
Hall; secretary Kathryn Graber, treas-
urer, Margaret Hyatt; Debating coun-

cil, Pocahontas Wight, and Isabel
Fergson.

At seven-thirty the candidates for
initiation were led in. Many were the
frightful stories of impromptu de-
bates and of extemporaneous speeches
which they must give, but Pi Alpha
Phi proved not to be so cruel. The
constiuttion and by-laws were read—
then Daisy Frances Smith, the presi-
dent, gave a delightful talk on the
ideals and purposes of Pi Alpha Phi.
Following this the initiates took the
pledge.

‘Then, all serious business aside, the
fun of the evening began. A mock
debate was given, “Resolved that the
faculty members of the Debating
Council should be required to debate
as well as the students.” In the
course of the argument it was reveal-
ed that this proposition had already
been submitted to the five members
of the faculty. It was whispered that
the three ladies willingly consented—
but the proposal was discarded be-
cause of the very serious objections
of Mr. Stukes and Dr. Salyer! Then
delicious refreshments were served,
which without debating the question
at all, one and all enjoyed.

The seven girls selected for this
honor were Elizabeth Woltz, Mary
Davis, Ellen Douglas Leyburn, Helen
Lewis, Elsie Jacobsen, Grace Zachery,
Elizabeth Henderson and Martha
Crowe. Pi Alpha Phi was pleased to
welcome her new members.

A “Good Manners” week has been observed on the campus
that the entire college community might be reminded of the
value of “good manners”. Now, that the week is over let us not
become careless again, but let each individual student remember
that “good manners” are a part of an individual’s greatest charm
and seek to improve her own during the next few weeks.

We realize that much of our conduct is due merely to thought-
lessness. We forget that the people of Atlanta and Decatur have
only one standard by which to judge Agnes Scott and that stand-
ard is her students and their behavior.

We believe that the students of Agnes Scott need only a re-
‘minder of the many factors of “good manners” of which we have
grown careless during the work of the year to meet the high stand-
ards we have.

Our “good manners” must begin on the campus and must
be a real part of our everyday life. We must practice them. So
let us be as quiet as possible in the dining rooms during all com-
mencements, the girls in the rear cannot hear over your noise.
The chapel is a place of worship during chapel and prayers each
night, so let each one enter in a spirit of quiet reverence. Quiet
is essential for the library; other students have gone there to
work; your chatter and gossiping is annoying.

Perhaps you have not realized that a part of “good manners”
is doing your part to keep our campus beautiful? Don’t grow
thoughtless, now, and scatter paper in studying on the campus, and
don’t throw things from your window. We want it kept as at-
tractive as possible.

Then, don’t forget your “good manners” when you leave the
campus. Leave your gum in your room, it is annoying to others.
Don’t be too boisterous on the street cars, the other people on the
car are judging Agnes Scott by you, so be careful that their
judgment of you is one that is worthy of your being an Agnes
Scott girl.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club gave a
special musical program on Sunday

byterian Church at the request of the

Last Wednesday afternoon, the Club
of University and College Women
held its April meeting in the Alumnae

THE

House. At this time some of the
members of the Senior Class of Agnes
Scott were present as guests.

After a short business meeting,
there was a talk in which the women
were urged to vote in all elections.
Excellent reasons were given why
women should cast their ballots.
After this interesting talk, Miss
Gooch read Drinkwater’s “Robert E.
Lee.” This number was very delight-
ful, also very appropriate, as Wednes-
day was the anniversary of the truce
made between the North and the
Sonth after the Civil War.

The meeting converted itself into a
social gathering. Delicious refresh-
ments were served and gossip was ex-
changed between, Seniors, Faculty and
Alumnae. The afternoon drew to a
close, with many expressions of what
a pleasant time had been spent by

all. pean

service was the beginning of a series
of revival services. conducted by Dr.
MeGeachy, who expressed in a very
sincere manner his appreciation of
the help of the Glee Club.

The Glee Club was assisted by Miss
Louise Mahoney, who gaye a very
pleasing rendition of Buzzi Peccia’s
“Gloria.” Miss Walton and Lillian
McAlpine sang the duet, Mendel-
ssohn’s “I Waited for The Lord,” with
their usual charm and ability. Very
appropriate and beautiful were the
following choruses rendered by the
Glee Club: Gounod’s “Behold, Jerusa-
lem” with Helen Bates taking the
solo parts, and Mendelssohn’s “Hear
My Prayer,” with Lillian McAlpine
taking the solo parts.

Most gratifying to the hearts of the
Glee Club girls, perhaps, was the
expression of commendation by Dr.
McCain at the close of the service,

Dr. Frank H. Gaines

By Henry H. Sweets

One year ago—about noon of
April 24, 1923—Dr. F. H. Gaines, the
inspirer, the founder, the builder and
the guiding genius of Agnes Scott
College at Decatur, Georgia, came
triumphantly to the close of his
earthly career.

How we ought to thank God for
the faith, the purpose, the initiative,
the courage, the vision of such a man
as President Gaines. When the Fath-
er gives such qualities as these, which
were so conspicuous in his modest,
faithful life and service, to one of his
children, he means not only that great
things shall be accomplished through
him, but that he shall be a source
of inspiration and guidance to others.
In many ways can we be thus helped
as we think of this “prince and great
man in Israel.”

He had a wonderful faith in God—
a faith that did not shrink from at-
tempting the impossible. In the days
when the Church had lost much of its
passion for education, while pastor of
the Presbyterian Church at Decatur,
Dr. Gaines became conscious of the
great need of Christian education for
girls. He found little interest, scant
financial backing and faced a dis-
couragement that many attempts to
found schools and colleges with com-
plete and utter failure had produced.
His trust was in God. He soon en-
listed two of the elders, Col. Scott
and Col. Candler. The three signed
an agreement among themselves that
they would pray daily for the bless-
ing of God upon their enterprise.
“The Decatur Female Seminary” of
1889 with total assets of five thou-
sand dollars was later known as
“Agnes Scott Academy,” named in
memory of the mother of its great
benefactor, Colonel George W. Scott.
By cutting off the lower grades and
adding higher the institution became
a college in 1905 and the charter was
amended so as to authorize a change
of name to “Agnes Scott College.”
As one recounts the history of this
college—one of the four early standard
colleges for women in the Southern
states—he is led irresistibly to the
conclusion that this institution with
its twenty-two buildings, its endow-
ment of eight hundred thousand dol-
lars, its large student body and its
hosts of trained Christian alumnae,
who are leading in all walks of life
at home and abroad, is largely the
stamp of God’s approval of the trust-
ing faith of one of His children.

Dr. Gaines’ purpose was never ob-
scure. His casual acquaintances
knew what it was. He publicly and
privately at all times and everywhere
declared the supreme aim of all his
work to be the glory of God. With
him this was no mere quotation from
the Bible or the Westminster Con-
fession of Faith. Soon after his death
I asked an educator who for several
years served in his faculty but a few
years ago had gone to a large univer-
sity, “What, to you, was the most
striking trait of Dr. Gaines’ charac-
ter?” Without a moment’s hesitation
he replied: “His idea of the Glory
of God. This conception to him be-
came the most spiritual and real ideal
I have ever known in any man.”

Dr. Gaines was a man of vision.

He early saw that the Christian forces
of the land must make more adequate
provision for their educational work
or retire from the field. He did not
murmur about advancing standards.
He did not complain about the enor-
mous cost. He looked into the future,
decided the girls should have the best,

who were determining the standards,
always standing for the high and
spiritual ideals and then initiated a
plan for making Agnes Scott College
an institution of the most pronounced
Christian character and with the high-
est educational standards. He en-
thused his board of trustees and awak-
ened the people of his city so that
the College became a mighty institu-
tion. >
He was not content that his own
institution should be ‘one of the lead-
ing colleges for women in the land,
he sought to elevate the ideals and
perfect the work of all other worthy

SES ——EE—
Plans are being made for next fall’s
Y. W. Camp, and everybody on Cabi-
net is “muchly pepped’” over the
prospects. Each year, just before
school opens, Y. W. Cabinet goes on a
camping trip for a few days, to get
together, and start the year off right,
with lots of pep and plans. This year
the camp is going to be more fun
than ever before, because we have a
cabin that is our very own, in the
very nicest place imaginable, on the
edge of the lake at Stone Mountain.

Miss Charlotte Jackson, Secretary
of the Southern Presbyterian Church,
passed through Atlanta last week, and
stayed a short while at Agnes Scott.
She held personal conferences with
some of the girls, but, due to limited
time, her work on campus was not
as widely known and felt as we might
have wished. She did find time, how-
ever, to make a very interesting talk
to the Senior Class, concerning their
plans for next year.

The Installation Service for the
new officers of Y. W. was held on
Sunday, April 20. At this time the
old officers passed on their responsi-
bility to the new ones, who will be
in charge of Y. W. work for the rest
of this year, in preparation for next
year’s duties. This is always one of
the most beautiful and impressive
services of the year. The old and
new Cabinet members marched in,
dressed in pure white, side by side,
the old members bearing lighted
candles and the new carrying unlight-
ed ones. Victoria Howie, as retiring
president, gave a sketch of what the
Cabinet this year has attempted to
accomplish. This was followed by a
talk by Frances Lincoln, the incom-
ing president, on the purpose of next
year’s Cabinet, and their means of
carrying it out. The candles carried
by the girls of the newly-elected Cabi-
net were lighted from the candles
earried by the corresponding officers
of the retiring cabinet, thus symbol-
ically passing on their lights of faith
and inspiration. This service ended
“Vie’s” year of loyal ‘and praise-
worthy work as president of Y. W.
C. A. We are sure that Frances, too,
will carry out the ideals of ¥. W.
in a way of which we ean be justly
proud.

institutions. He had been trained in
the old idea that the church should
not control its educational institu-
tions, but in recent years, he saw the
tendency in institutions to depart
from the purpose of their founders
and he consented to the plans of the
church and had secured the consent
of the board to have the synods nomi-
nate the members of the board of con-
trol. He gave much time and valuable
aid in forming the Executive Commit-
tee of Schools and Colleges. - The
church little knows how much it owes
te Dr. Gaines, Dr. Walter L. Lingle
and Mr. Samuel M. Inman in the early
days of the: organization of the edu-
cational forces. They were constant-
ly sources of inspiration and help to
the secretary and the committee.
Dr. Gaines was a quiet man and
with some diffidence. It was diffi-
cult for some people to become ac-
quainted with him, but those who
were admitted to his confidence and
affection will always cherish most
highly that privilege. As pastor,
citizen, seer, leader of men, Dr.
Gaines has left a monument to the
educator, counsellor of girls, friend,
power of the life of God in man.

Grand Opera Week in
Atlanta

Agnes Scott girls have been trying
to save their money since exams, in
order to buy grand opera tickets. The
season began with a rush the day
after Easter. The varied and unusu-
ally good program opened with the ©
performance of “Marta,” Monday eve-
ning. This is followed by “Il Trova- |
tore” Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Dieck-
mann advised those who would be able
to hear only one opera not to miss
this, for its music is very enjoyable
to most audiences. Wednesday eve-
ning, “Boris Godunoff” will be ren-
dered. The second matinee, “Rigo-
letto,” is scheduled for Thursday.
“Feodora” will be presented Friday
evening. Saturday matinees are al-
ways well attended and “Faust,” is
the popular opera which is listed for
that time. It is sung in French, the
only one this season which is not in
Italian. The season is brought to a
close Saturday evening by a “double-
header,” “Cavalleria Rusticana’”’ and
“Pagliacci.”

Many of the singers are already
established favorites with Atlanta
audiences. Heading the list is Rosa
Ponselle, a former Atlantan, who ap-
pears in “Il Trovatore” and ‘“Caval-
leria Rusticana.” When Lucrezia Bori
made her first appearance here in
1921, she captivated the audiences
both with her accomplished acting and
magic voice. She may be heard this
year in “Rigoletto” and “Pagliacci.”
Marion Telva, who will be in “I
Trovatore,” Ellen Dalossey, in “Boris
Godunoff” and “Feodora,” and Flora
Perinnin in “Boris Godunoff,” “Rigo-
Tetto,” and “Cavalleria Rusticana,” this
year, also delighted us last season.

Giuseppe Danise appears again in
“Tl Trovatore” and “Pagliacci.” Louis
D’Angelo has roles in “Boris Godu-
noff,” “Feodora,” “Marta,” and
“Faust.” Milo Pico takes part in
“Rigoletto,” “Cavalleria Rusticana,’”
and “Feodora.” Probably the most
popular of the baritones is Antonio
Scotti, who sings in “Boris Godunoff”
and “Feodora” this year. Giovanni
Martinelli, appearing in “Il Trova-
tore,” ““Feodora” and “Pagliacci,” and
Beniamino Gigli in “Rigoletto,” are
the two tenors familiar to us.
have again this year an opportu
of hearing the great Russia bas:
Feodor Chalizpin, who sings
“Boris Godunoff” and “Faust.”

Among those artists making their
first appearance here this season are
Frances Alda in “Faust,” Nannette
Guilford in “Il Trovatore,” and “Rigo-
letto,” and Armant Tapatyan in
“Boris Godunoff.” This is by no
means a complete list of the leading
singers, but gives an idea of “when
who is in what.”

Miss Grace Lanneau, who is a
student at the State Normal in Ath-
ens, has been the guest of Miss Susie
Stokes for the past several days.

There were several visitors last
week-end who witnessed the Junior
stunt, “I Promise.’ Among them
were Lucile Stone, of Atlanta, the
guest of Grace Augusta Ogden, and
Ruby Hendrix, who visited her sister,
Louise.

Miss Sarah Tate, in a mad rush to
the dining room, fell down the steps
and turned her ankle so that she has
suffered much because of it. No
bones were broken, however, and we
hope that the foot will improve rap-
idly.

Miss Mary Colley, who was a stu-
dent at Agnes Scott for three years,
is coming to visit Miss Frances
Amis. Miss Colley is now attending
Peabody College in Nashville.

Miss Anna Meade was recently the
guest of friends.

Anna Meade Hostess at Two Lovely
Parties

Miss Anna Meade, who has been
visiting in Atlanta, was hostess to
two lovely parties during her stay,
the first of which was given in the
Alumnae Tea Room. A _ delicious
salad course was served, followed by
ice cream and cake. One of the most
attractive features, however, was the
little place cards. These had a sort
of a charade written on the back,
-which, when solved, spelled ‘“Wel-
come” for all the guests. Entertain-
ment and excitement was furnished
by the picture of a handsome army
officer, whose name was not disclosed.
The guests included: Misses Dick
Scandrett, Jo North, Meade Swayze,
Beulah Davidson, Vie Howie, Nonie
Peck, Nancy Evans, Pauline Wheeler,
Lou Buchanan, Mary Ann McKinney,
Harriet Fearrington, Polly Stone, and
Hilda McConnell.

Another delightful affair given by
Miss Meade was the bridge party of
two tables which she entertained at
the lovely home of her aunt, Mrs.
Charles Leroux on Bonaventure Ave-
nue. Miss Ann Heys won high score,
and was rewarded with a darling lit-
tle decorative and useful cord for
her shade. Miss Meade Swayze re-
ceived second prize, which was a hand-
painted bridge secore-book and tallies.
At the close of the game a salad
course and delicious ices were served.
Her guests were Misses Catherine
Graeber, Jo North, Evelyn Sprinkle,
Vic Howie, Ann Heys, Harriet Fear-
rington, and Meade Swayze.

Whittemore is spending *most every

Louisa Duls spent Sunday in De-
eatur.

Lately, Mary Keeler and Mary Ann

their spare time at Stone Mountain
camp.

Lillian Middlebrooks and Clyde
Passmore were the guests of Decatur
friends Saturday night and Sunday.
They tell anyone that will listen to
them that they met Governor Walker
while off of the campus.

Saturday we wondered why our
dinner was even better than usual,
in White House. Our questions were
answered when Dr. Ames came in.
We wish that more of our distinguish-
ed guests would dine over here rather
than in Rebekah.

B. 0. Z. ENTERTAINED BY
POLLY STONE

On Wednesday, April 9th, B. O. Z.
Was delightfully entertained by Polly
Stone. There was a large attendance;
and a number of interesting stories
(all varying greatly as to style and
theme) were read.

“Serge and Chiffon,” by Larsen
Mattax, related the difficulties that
a man who was “through with love”
encountered, when he tried to rear
-properly a beautiful young ward. El-
len Walker read a delightful story
about a very practical small boy, and
a very imaginative small girl, to
whom every cross roads bore the

sign, “To Fairyland,’ and to whom
every chance horseback rider was a
Knight of the Round Table. Mar-
garet Tuft’s story was a humorous
one concerning a girl who literally
froze out an unwelcome suitor. Eliz-
abeth Cheatham’s “Twelve” recorded
the misfortunes of an unhappy lit-
tle girl who was at that trying age,
and who sought in vain to convince
the family of her maturity. Mary
Ann McKinney read another install-
ment in her novel “Paintings in Oil.”
Every stage in the journey of this

DIFFICULT TASKS.

Tackling the difficult task, the un-
pleasant thing, has more to do with
the building of strong, noble charac-
ter than any other one thing. On the
other hand doing the easy thing, fol-
lowing the line of least resistance
will not only hinder the building of
real character, but will in many ways
do untold harm to every individual.

There is no better place to form
the habit of accomplishing the diffi-
cult feat than in college. A student
frequently finds a subject in his
course that is hard, that he can see
no advantage in taking, and yet the
mastering of that subject is sure to
prove of untold value to him. The
man who takes hold of a subject and
holds on to the end, no matter how
unpleasant or hard it may be, is

HARRIET FEARINGTON CHOSEN
AS LEADING CHARACTER
IN MAY DAY

The leading character for May Day
has at last been chosen. We think
it has been a most fortunate choice,
and certainly you will think so, too,
when you know it is Harriet Fearing-
ton.

Harriet has always been a very
beautiful dancer and one whom we
all admire. She has been most kind
in lending her services whenever
needed, and we are all delighted with
this honor bestowed upon her.

She took a very prominent part in
the exhibition given by the advanced
dancing classes. Both her solo dance
and her couple dance were very lovely.

In May Day we feel sure Harriet
will be at her best, for the part is
just suited to her particular type.
We look forward to May Day with
confidence that it will be the greater
success on account of Harriet’s par-
ticipation.

the man who is sure to succeed in
life. The world needs more men like
that one “who tackled the job that
couldn’t be done and did it.”

MISS CHARLOTTE JACKSON, VIS-
ITOR AND SPEAKER AT
THE COLLEGE

We often hear with a feeling of
pride of the work of many of our
alumnae, but we were especially glad
to have the opportunity of meeting
and hearing Miss Charlotte Jackson,
who is a secretary on the Presby-
terian Committee of Christian Edu-
cation and Ministerial Relief.

Miss Jackson is an Agnes Scott
graduate and was president of Stu-
dent Government in 1917. For some
years she was a Y. W. C. A. secre-
tary, and she is now in active service
for the Presbyterian church.

While she was here she gave an
inspiring and interesting talk in
chapel on developing our personali-
ties. Besides giving special talks to
the Student Volunteers and to the
Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, she had indi-
vidual conferences with girls who
wished to talk over problems of life
service and work after graduation.

Agnes Scott was privileged in hay-
ing Miss Jackson, and those who met

her are looking forward to seeing
her again during commencement,
when her class will have a reunion.

Probably

You Feel The Same

As a certain patron, who
confessed that until she
bought her first suit at
Frohsin’s, she always
considered our shop ex-
pensive.

Reckoning cost by service
and satisfaction obtained,
she now counts herself a
true Economist—and, of
course, a regular cus-
tomer!

How can anyone hesi-
tate? It’s best to buy the
»est—and dodge the rest!

NORTH CAROLINA CLUB HAS
EASTER MEETING

On Wednesday night, April 16, the
North Carolina Club had another of
its very enjoyable meetings. The
hostesses of the occasion were: Mary
Dudley Brown, Frances Gilliland,
Amoret Moore, Mary Phliger Brown,
Margaret Tufts, and Janice Brown,

Since the meeting was held so near
Easter, the hostesses turned back
their years and prepared an easter
ege hunt for their guests. Never
would a bunny, “popping” in his head
at the door, have thought for an
instant that here were serious-minded
college students. For they had all
gone back to their childhood.

About the time the lights blinked
delightful refreshments were served
by the six hostesses. Every one hated
to hear the clock strike ten. But
Fate has a way of doing what she
chooses—and so has Miss Agnes Scott
with the lights. Every one is look-
ing forward to the next and last
meeting of the club.

the hill, bringing girls laden with use-
ful gifts for the camp. The kitchen
shelves shone with new utensils and
gave one a rea] desire to don an apron
and begin work. So excited were the
visitors over standing on the kitchen
steps and looking at Stone Mountain,
sitting on the front porch and gazing
at the lake at the foot of the hill, or
lounging in front of the blazing fire
that they could hardly eat the delicious
tea and cakes served them by the Ath-
letie Board.

Late in the afternoon everyone,
except the lucky crowd which was to
stay for the week-end, left with many
backward glances, hardly able to be-
lieve that such a perfect lodge in such
an ideal place could be Agnes Scott’s
own camp.

Two people who have done a great
deal toward making our dreams of a
camp of our own come true are Mr.
James Arnold and Mr Venable. Mr.
Arnold, the contractor, is due much
thanks for the completeness with
which he built the lodge and for the
many finishing touches, not in the
contract, which he added. We are also
very grateful to Mr. Venable, who so
willingly gave us permission to put
the camp on his private property.

MISS HOWSON ENTERTAINS FOR
DR. AMES

The private dining room of the
Anna Young Alumnae House was
filled with celebrities Friday evening.
The occasion was a dinner given by
Miss Howson in honor of Dr. Ames,
who was our noted lecturer of Friday
night and Saturday morning, and was
only one of a series of entertainments
given in honor of our distinguished
visitor. The guests were faculty
members of three colleges, Johns Hop-
kins, Emory, and Agnes Scott.

They were Dr. Ames, dean of Johns
Hopkins; Dr. MeCain, president of
Agnes Scott; Dr. Nelms, head of
Physics department, Emory; Dr. Mes-
sick, head of Mathematics, Emory;

a frequent visitor at the college.
When she was a student at Agnes
Scott, Hoasc had not yet been organ-
ized. The present members of the
society, recognizing her great work for
and great loyalty to the college and
wishing that the students of Agnes
Scott might show their appreciation,
have chosen her as an honorary mem-
ber of Hoasc. Miss Kirk was present
at the formal initiation on Tuesday

INSPIRING TALK FROM MISS
CHARLOTTE JACKSON

On Monday afternoon at 5 o’clock
Miss Charlotte Jackson gave a very
helpful talk to the Y. W. C. A. Cabi-
net of next year. Miss Jackson, an
alumna of Agnes Scott, now holds
the position of Secretary of Religious
Education on the Southern Presby-
terian Board. The subject of her
talk was, “The Three Ways of Per-
sonal Training in a Christian College.”
These three ways proved to be—the
inward look, the outward look, and
the upward look. The responsibility
of the cabinet for the coming year
was stressed; and much hope and in-
spiration was instilled into those pres-
ent. Problems were discussed and
Miss Jackson was able to give many
helpful suggestions for the work of
the separate departments.

onored by a noted speaker this spring,
for it is rumored that Dr. Newman has
been decorated with the “Order of the
Rising Sun,” by the Emperor of Ja-
pan himself. He is now living in At-
lanta, where he conducts a mission
study class at the Central Presby-
terian church. He also contributes
articles to many publications. The
man himself is of the old Southern
School, genial, courtly, and kindly. He
represents the best of the Southland
in courtesy and gentlemanly manner.
Mrs. Sydenstriecker has recently re-
ceived a letter from him, expressing
his delight at being allowed to ad-
dress the girls and his desire to en-
joy the privilege again. Those who
heard him before will surely welcome
him if he does return. While Bible
girls are looking backward to this con-
genial, easy speaker, they may also
look forward to another, Mr. McCon-
nel, who, in the near future, is to lec-
ture to the Bible Club on India.

Physical Exams.

This is the spring of the year—the
time of preparedness for summer,
Just now all good mothers are mak-
ing the children drink sassafras tea
to prime the system. And so we, too,
are taking re-examinations in order
that we may check up on our physi-
cal status. Many wonders may in
this wise be revealed. For instance,
Evelyn Sprinkle has found that since
fall she has shrunk one inch! “Sticks”
says she hopes it’s contagious. At
any rate, by means of these physical
exams, we can see for ourselves just
how we stand.

Upperclassmen Victorious in Baseball.

The double-header played last Wed-
nesday afternoon resulted in the fol-
lowing score:

Seniors, 12; vs. Sophomores, 6.

Juniors, 11; vs. Freshmen, 9.

The baseball season opened in vig-
orous fashion; much interest was reg-
istered throughout both of these
games. On the day of the Track
Meet the Juniors and Seniors will
play the final game which will deter-
mine the championship. This game
was to have been played last Fri-
day, but—“‘Rain, no game.”

this particular phase. Good Manners

Friday night. The good effects of

so throughout the year.

ALUMNAE GIVE TEA FOR

SENIORS

An event of much interest, espe-
cially to the seniors, was a tea given
in their honor Friday afternoon in
the Silhouette tea room. The Alum-
nae, having had the experience of be-
ing seniors, and knowing what it
means to be entertained as such,
started this year’s senior parties by
one of the most delightful teas that
has ever been held in the new tea
room. It was attended by the senior
class and as many Alumnae as could
be there. The place was decorated
with spring flowers, which formed a
lovely background for the many-
colored tea gowns. Color, conversa-
tion, and wit, to say nothing of food,
all ran high, and the only wish of
the Seniors is that all their other
parties will be as delightful as the
one given by the Alumnae.

are Lucy Wooton, of ’22, who has
changed her name to Mrs. Carl
Weigand, of Chapel Hill, North Caro-
lina, and Eugenia Johnson, who is
now Mrs. George C. Griffin.

Miss Charlotte Jackson, of ‘14,
spent the week-end in the Alumnae
house. She is one of the field secre-
taries of Christian Education and
Ministerial, Relief. During her visit,
she gave several talks and held con-
ferences. Weare very proud to have
two of these secretaries as Agnes
Scott Alumnae.

Miss Mary Wallace Kirk, the only
woman member of the board of trus-
tees, is spending this week with us.
She says that she has come to opera,
but she is such a loyal Agnes Scotter,
and has been so vitally interested in
the college since her graduation in

DR. T. J. WOFTER SPEAKS ON

THE “RACE QUESTION”

The sociology students as well as
other members of the community had
the privilege of hearing Dr. T. J.
Wofter, secretary of ‘the Georgia
Commission on Race Relations, on
Monday afternoon. This organiza-
tion is purely voluntary, and is made
up of public-spirited citizens, who
have as their purpose the bettering
of the negro race. In his talk, which
took the form of a discussion, the
topics of the intelligence, the musical
ability, and the industrial and regular
education of the negro were taken
up. Dr. Wofter is a’ very interest-
ing talker, and those who heard him
realize that the commission is doing
much to inform the publie concern-

ling the race problems, and to aid in

bringing about the solution of them
through a co-operation of the leaders
of both races.

THE PARISIAN
DECISION FoR
SPRING ———

In the morning, the
smart woman will
choose the Tailored
Sait, the Three - Piece
Suit, or the Tailored
Dress. The first is cut
on O’Rossen lines, of
men’s material, covert,
teps, gabardine or silk
alpaca; frequently has a
white pique or moire
vest; and generally a
gardenia in the button-
hole,

The three-piece suit,

while not elaborate,
concedes more to its
wearer’s fancy. The

dress must be straight
and simple, though it
may show circular
movement tn front.
Either a collar or a scart
is apt to be part of the
construction. Coat may

be 3-4, though it ts
probably short.
