Vol. IX AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1923 — VAtir Cy, S he A gonistic |: No. 1 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.

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 —cuckooing the hours and nodding their heads the number of minutes. ‘With all these duties there was hard- | (Continued On Page 4, Col. 4.) 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.

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.

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) (Continued On Page 2, Col. 1.) 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 (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) tainment Committee in Dutch cos- 'tumes, who served punch and distrib- uted souvenirs, and the Dutch dance by Harriet Fearrington and Mary Freeman and the solo by Miss Wal- (Continued On Page 4, Col. 4.) SECOND HAND BOOK STORE SAVES STEPS AND COIN FOR ALL Co-operation Is Asked In New Enterprise Girls, did you ever see anything vanish into thin air like ready cash! Of course if we were all Croesuses it wouldn’t make much difference—we |should still have enough to purchase an ice-cream cone occasionally. But, 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 Hand Book Store” has done for them. For the first comers it has saved = ‘trotting from third floor Inman to third floor Rebekah in a_ fruitless search for such and such a text. And for the old students it has meant an end of all painful endeavor to- wards providing vacant space for 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, Margaret Hyatt also took part in the service. to be a big thing and a great help, Dell Bernhardt acted as organist at Victoria Howie, the president of the ° Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.75 per year in advance.

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.” NEW FACULTY AT AGNES SCOTT (Continued From Page 1, Col. 4.) physies, B.

AGONISTI C 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. ORGANIZATIONS ON CAMPUS THE (Continued From Page 1, Col. 2.) Treasurer—Eunice Kell. Orchestra Leader—lIsabelle Clarke.

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.

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.

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. “Do paste?” “No, I don’t room with him this quarter.” you use Colgate’s tooth VSR AA Fall 1923 A New Term and a New Season — We greet our old friends at Agnes Scott and hope to number many new friends from this splendid institu- tion.

The members who were present at this time were: Miss Hearon, Miss Laney, Miss Me- Kinney, Miss Davis, Mr. Rankin, and Mr. Stukes from the faculty; and Janice Brown, Leone Bowers, Mary Keesler, Dick Scandrett, Mary Greene, Victoria Howie, and Dell Bernhardt, the president, as student members. Plans for the coming year | were discussed and arrangements for beginning the sale of tickets and a publicity program were made. Suggestions for lecturers were | given by the members and the pos- sibilities of securing these were dis- cussed. It is hoped that a poet, a lecturer on politics, a scientist and lecturers on other lines can be brought to Agnes Scott this year. Among the names mentioned were those of Paderewski, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Hugh Walpole, -Amy Lowell, Dean Saunders, of Hamilton, John Erskine, Dubose Heyward, and Lloyd George. Dell Bernhardt, the president this year, planning to conduct this year a more extensive and enthusi- astic campaign than has ever been managed before. It is hoped that the is entire student body will join the Lec- - ture Association this year. in ol pe ay PAW Ss a2 Ni is We SJ FROM PARIS Muse’s Exquisite Lingerie MUSE’S “The Style Center of the South” Peachtree :-: Walton :-:* Broad Mrs. Teele’s Home 153 Sycamore St. Bakery Decatur College Girls: We have the daintiest, most delicious cakes, pastries and rolls for your lunches and little room parties.

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.” NEW STUDENTS AT AGNES SCOTT. (Continued From Page 1, Col. 3.) Heath, Mary, Augusta, Ga., 101 Main.

Seven seniors were admitted into the so- ciety at this time. These were: Frances Amis, Barron Hyatt, Janice Brown, Nancy Evans, Emmie Fick- len, Frances Gilliland, and Weenona Peck. The announcement took place in the chapel at 9 o’clock, At this hour a@ procession of Hoasc members in caps and gowns entered the chapel as Mr. Dieckmann played “Ancient of Days.” The Hioasc members present were: Beulah Davidson, the president for this year; Mary Greene, Victoria Howie, Carrie Scandrett, Daisy Fran- ces Smith, Polly Stone, Mary Good- rich, Ethel Ware, Janef Preston, Mar- garet Bland, Quennelle Harrold, Em- ma Jones, and the faculty members, Mr. Holt, Dr. Sweet, and Dr. Mc- Cain. Miss Margaret Bland, who is now a member of the French Department, announced the names of the new members, making an appropriate speech. She told something of the high ideals of character and of serv- jee for which Hoasc stands. Hoasce is a society, founded in 1915, which aims at promoting all that is ‘best and noblest in love and service for Agnes Scott. Its members must be leaders and are chosen from among the students who have shown during their years at Agnes Scott an unselfish devotion to their Alma Ma- ter and an unbounded capacity for laboring toward ends which will in- sure the realization of “The Agnes Scott Ideal.” Thus, membership in (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.)

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1923 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.

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. STUDENT COUNCIL OF Y. W.C. A. MEETS HERE, REPRESENTA- TIVES OF TEN COLLEGES IN THIS DISTRICT PRESENT. (Continued from Page 1, Column 2.) 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, Agnes Scott.

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.

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? NEW RULINGS: To win A. S. Letters, it is necessary: 1.

Of “Nocturne”, H. G. Wells says: “This is a book that will not die. It is perfect, authentic, alive.” Ada Ward, celebrated English lect- urer, says “His novels are considered to be among our best present-day lit- erature. He is known to us as a ‘Realist’—that is, he speaks of life as it is—yet does it so beautifully, that his novels can be freely read and always leave a clean taste. He is a member of the English Association, which is one of the highest honors that can be conferred on a literary man in England.” THE SOUTHERN ROUTE TO PARIS—THE MUSE FIFTH FLOOR You just know it’s a MUSE creation! | Y. W. C. A. NEWS We have had a number of talks im chapel recently on what the Y. W. C. A. has done with its money,’ and it would seem that this alone would be enough to bring the whole college whole heartedly to the support of the budget. Let us review for a moment a few of the things we have heard in chapel. The Y. W. C. A. sends five hundred dollars to the support of a missionary in Korea. It contributes to the ex- penses of a girl at Nacoochee. It has the privilege this year of sending delegates to the National Y. W. C. A. Conference, and this will take a great deal of money. We don’t want our college to fall down because of lack of funds, so we are counting on every girl to do her part.

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.

Most popular Seniors— Victoria Howie, Carrie Scandrett. Most popular Juniors—Martha Lin Manly, Mary Anne McKinney. Most popular Sophomores—Sarah Smith, Edith Coleman. Most popular Freshmen—Nancy Lou Knight, Elizabeth Norfleet. | The editors of the annual tried to select types of girls which would be representative. It was their idea that 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 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. he Agonistic | #& 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. Mrs. Rankin Entertains Mrs. W. W.

The girls who were accompanied by Miss Printup, a member of the Girls’ High faculty, were shown about the college by various resident students. At noon a delicious lunch was serv- ed to our visitors in the Inman and Rebekah Scott dining halls. All the girls reported a delightful time and were very much pleased with the gen- eral conditions of the college. The college community would in- deed feel itself fortunate if every one of these girls would enroll herself as a freshman here next year. 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. K.U.B. Discusses Articles K. U. B. held its regular meeting Tuesday evening, October 30th. Aft- the meeting was spent in discussing best journalistic style and subjects. In order that the members might know what work of er the business, this kind other schools are doing, col- lege news from several of the Atlanta papers was read. Other newspaper articles were read and the members discussed the forms which were used. K. U. B. hopes to have with them soon a journalist or lecturer who will speak to them on journalism. eS \Pi Alpha Phi Subjects For Intercollegiate Debates Randolph-Macon And Newcomb Submit Subjects Those who missed the Pi Alpha Phi meeting held in the Mnemosynean Hall last Thursday evening at 7:09 o’elock can rightly be accused of neglecting their opportunities.

Rosa Raisa Noted Ones Star Sings In Auditorium Agnes Scott Students Enjoy First Of A Series Of Concerts The first concert of the series of the Atlanta Musie Club given at the Auditorium-Armory on Tuesday even- ing was greatly enjoyed by a num- ber of Agnes Scott students. A beau- tiful program of solos and concerted numbers had been arranged for this concert of Rosa Raisa and Giacoma Rimini. Both these artists are famous for their work in opera, and several of the numbers sung were taken from It was much regretted that Rimini was unable to appear, Rosa Raisa was born in Bielestock in Russian Poland and advanced un- der the most discouraging cireum- stances. A dramatic experience in her . early life was her escape from Po- gram, that led to the massacre in Kiev, She studied music with Ma- dame Marchisis and was later engag- ed for the Chicago Opera Company. Raisa’s debut was made at the The- atre Reggio, in Verdi’s first opera, “Oberto.’ Her success in this des- tined her to be one of the greatest singers of the time. It has been said that she is the greatest opera singer of the day. Madame Raisa was heard Tuesday evening in a group of Russian songs and a group of modern songs which delighted évery one. The next artist who will appear on this series is Ignace Jan Paderewski, the world’s greatest pianist. He will be in Atlanta on the night before Thanskgiving. Many students from Agnes Scott are expected to avail themselves of the opportunity of hear- ing the great musician, and parties are already being arranged to go to the auditorium on that night. the great operatic arias, Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.75 per year in advance.

Alumnae Editor _ Athletic Editor Exchange Editor __ Joke Editor ____ Society Editor Y. W. GC. A. Editor Day Student Editor Ree Sos Business Manager Assistant Business Manager Circulation Manager 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.

The Seniors and Juniors played to come and share with her a typi- cal Virginia box. We say typical, because Virginia is the home of hos- pitality and this box denoted that 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 the first floor back was again a scene! of feasting. At this time mostly older girls were present, the heads of all the organizations and a few others, including a few Freshmen.

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.

That Agnes Scott can boast an “np- Yand-coming” junior class is self-evi- dent! But this fact has been doubly apparent to all since Saturday night, November 3, when this class brought }to the Agnes Scott chapel a splendid 4Howard program. None of the attrac- tions, which the name Howard im- plies, were lacking. ' There were pictures—all so good, that it would be difficult to say just ‘}which was most popular. Perhaps the : first, “Angel Food,” caught the Agnes Scott fancy most, by reason of its sug- gestive title, although “Main Street” ran it a close second. The latter lived jup to its name, for it showed, indeed, the Main Streets of London, New York, WChicago, Washington, Venice, Yoko- ama and many other cities. 4 But the intermission was equally ¢harming.

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.

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. No. & ~ 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 Calendar For November Thanksgiving Coming. November 9. Dr. William E.

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 dance, successfully interpreted by Dell 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. by their superior power had the right to expand was really to be excused in some measure.

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. Beautiful Dance both have enough land to support) '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.

For the Varsity team, in their famous vari-colored hockey skirts, snake-danced~ onto the athletie field, shouting this happy war song. They were greeted with enthusiasm by the side-lines, which were well filled. But there was, if possible, more cheering when the Alumnae team “* * * * Decrepit and glum, And all on the bum,” x xX ee “Limping some, And toothless of gum,” 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. Cheers from first’ one ‘division of the spectators and then the other followed (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.) Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.75 per year in advance. Single Copies, 5 cents.

OOS Alumnae Editor Athletic Editor Day Student Editor SSS Business Manager Assistant Business Manager Cireulation Manager (From the “Goucher College Weekly.’’) “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. THE » LOCALS = Miss Elizabeth Gregory spent last week-end in Vienna, where she was} ealled on account of the slight illness of her father. Her return with a suit- case full of dainty morsels was hailed with delight by many. Misses Martha Johnston and Sallie Abernathy were joint hostesses at a tea, in their lovely room on first floor. Delicious lemonade and chocolate cake were served. The guests included Misses Helen Clark Martin, Louise Hen- dricks, Mary Jervis, Gwynne Cannon, Mary Weems, Louise Leonard, Barron Hyatt, Pauline McCleod, Georgia Mae Burns, Mary Forbis and May Reese. The doting parents, as well as fond sisters and brothers, of many of the Inman seniors thronged Agnes Scott on Tuesday, for the purpose of wit- nessing Investiture. Among these were Mrs. Stone, Mrs. Gilliland, Mr. and Mrs. MecDow, Miss Dorothy Speake, Mrs. Howie, Mr. and Mrs. McMurray, Mr. Al G. Smith, Mrs. Greene. The Senior and Sophomore Sisters held quite important meetings in the tea room the first part of the week, whose purpose it was to offer an op- portunity to present the rings. This 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 the attractive guest of Frances Buch- anan for a few days. Miss Margaret Gholston and Miss Emily Jones entertained with a lovely Hallowe’en party in honor of Miss Gholston’s birthday, The guests’ for- tunes were told by a very mysterious, ghostly character, after which ghost stories were enjoyed (with the permis- sion of the House President) until quarter of ten. At that late hour a delicious salad course was served. Those enjoying this affair were Misses Frances Craighead, Katherine John- ston, Margaret McDow, Reba Bayless, Martha Childress, Josephine Bridge- man, Martha Chapin, Agatha Deavor, and Frances Buchanan. Miss Joyce Henderson, who attended Agnes Scott in 1912, was the guest of Miss Melissa Smith the past week. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Buchanan spent the past week-end in Atlanta with their daughter, Frances. Mrs. J. W. Cowan of Conyers visited her daughter, Sarah Will, last Friday. Mrs. W. R. Joiner of Albany has made a visit to her daughter, Leila. Miss Julia Abbot of Louisville, Ga., an old Agnes Scott girl, spent Wednes- day and Thursday with Jessica Wright. Mr. and Mrs. M. M. McCall of Ope- lika, Ala., recently came to see their daughter, Caroline McCall. Mary Freeman and Sarah Will Cowan were visitors to Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Freeman in College Park during the week-end. Mrs. Gordon Chason of Bainbridge spent Sunday and Monday with her daughter, Cornelia Chason. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Moore, on their way from New York to Savannah, stopped over to see their sister, Miss Cephise Cartwright, Saturday and Sunday. Mary Davis and Margaret Edmond- son spent last week-end with their parents in LaGrange. Margaret Prowell was the guest of Ruth Harrison and Tootsie Janes for a few days last week. Among the parents and relatives of the seniors who were at the college for Investiture were: Mrs. Mann and Miss Augusta Mann; Mrs. Griffin, the guest of Margaret Griffin; and Mrs. Powell, the guest of Margaret Powell. Dorothy Keith spent several days last week at her home in Greenville, S. C. ALUMNAE DEFEATED BY VAR- SITY TEAM. (Continued from Page 1, Column 5.) || in quick succession. The Varsity team who played is only atemporary team. It may be changed. But however that may be, we think this one mighty good. For the score ended five to nothing (5-0) in favor of the Varsity. The line-up was: AGONIS TIC 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. Hoke rf. Scandrett Alexander goal Bowers After the game was completed every one expressed the hope that there would be another such game soon. The Florida Flambeau. “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. Alumnae News 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, ’20, to Mr. James Blakesly, of Clarkes- ville, Va. Miss Margaret Sanders, ’20, to Mr. George Bellingerath. Miss Elizabeth Pruder, *19, to Mr. Joseph Fagan, of Atlanta. Miss Helen Brown, 714, to Mr. Les- ley Neighbors Webb, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Miss Virginia Scott, 17, announces her engagement to Mr. Pegues, of De- eatur. Miss Frances Formby, Exp., ’25, is attending the University of Alabama this year. 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.

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.

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.

One of the most delightful enter- tainments of the college year was the 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 invited 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 ) Scene in the gymnasium was a pretty fone. | A great treat was given the young- | isa ters when “Grandmother” Syden- “stricker consented to tell some of the steries.whirh_are. mych..enioyed—by.

They gave a charming dance, based on the old game of “jump-rope.” Refreshments of cakes, apples, can- dies and punch were served during the evening. Dancing was enjoyed until ten o'clock, when the grandmothers hur- ried their charges home to bed. dresses, joyable social events which has taken place at the college this year. It was sponsored by Hoasc, and the thanks of the Freshman, Junior, and Senior classes are due to that organization for a very pleasant evening. Miss Gooch Reads Drink- water’s ‘‘Robert E. Lee”’ At Blackfriars Meeting At the last meeting of Blackfriars, held Friday afternoon, November 16, Miss Frances K. Gooch, head of the expression department at Agnes Scott, 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 ‘present several guests heard Miss Gooch’s reading.

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. REPRESENTATIVE OF WHITE’S STUDIOS AT AGNES SCOTT. MISS DAVIS WINS A PRIZE. With the infirmary filled with scar- let fever, measles; diphtheria, Dr. Sweet still found that she had not enough to keep her busy and offered a prize for the first case of mumps. This was won by Mizs Jean Davis, head of the Economics department when, on Thanksgiving night, she showed signs of having this disease. Miss Davis’ condition is not serious, her friends will be glad to know. All Agnes Seott hopes that she will soon be well. There will be a representative of White’s Studios of New York at Agnes Seott during the first week of Decem- ber. He will take pictures of those girls who wish to have their photo- graphs before Christmas. Later he will return and complete his work in taking pictures for the Annual, About a hundred girls have signed up to have pictures made at this time. All those who have not made arrange- ments may do so by consulting Eu- genia Perkins, the photographic editor of the “Silhouette.” CABINET OF Y. W. C. A.

The guests were in- _vited to the private dining room of the tea room at half-past nine o'clock.

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. And did you know that there was a league forming in Rebekah which has for its purpose helping students to}- save their money?

Geor- gia May Little and Grace Carr are both down at the infirmary with scar- let fever, and Bila is afraid she is go- ing to take it any minute. Martha Lim is still in the infirmary with tonsilitis but is much better. We regret these illnesses very much and hope to have all the siek ones back in our midst very soon. NORFLEET IS NEW FRESHMAN PRESIDENT. The Freshman class has a new pres- ident, Elizabeth Norfleet. She was vice-president of the class up to the time of the resignation of the former president. Elizabeth is a wonderful girl, and we are all proud to have her as Freshman leader. She has real charm and a very winning manner, and these qualities plus her natural ability make her well suited for lead- ership. We feel sure that, under her guidance, the Freshman class will have a wonderfully successful year. COMPLETE PROGRAM OF LEC- TURE ASSOCIATION FOR THIS YEAR.

IX Davidson Glee AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, Club Is Much Enjoyed 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 The Davidson Glee Club, managed by C. V.

The press of 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- ington, Miss.; C. V. Brown, Chatta- nooga, Tenn.; W: A. McClain, Sweet- water, Tenn.; B. T.

Mr. Guy Hurlburt Speaks Tuesday In Chapel On “Needs of Students In Europe” Contribution Made to Student Friendship Fund On Tuesday morning the student body had the great pleasure and priv- ilege of hearing a very interesting talk by Mr. Guy Hurlbut on “Needs of Students in Europe.” The talk was a new vision of t=: needs and handi- caps of our fellow students in the far East. One of the most surprising con- the great values which a small amount of money can siderations was secure for our foreign friends. The mere amount of five dollars will furn- ish daily food for a hundred students 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, which amount will feed over forty stu- dents for a month. When we stopped to think of our own Agnes Scott and how blessed we | are within her walls, and then con-| trast our good fortune with the) meager and pitiful conditions of the| schools of the far East, each one of | us was only too glad to respond with | the true Agnes Scott spirit—the| smiling spirit. sponsored by the The campaign was Hoase, and under its auspices amount of (?) was raised. 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 of five, and we were reluctantly bid- ding Mrs. Dieckmann farewell and setting out, in the gathering dusk, for Agnes Scott. ja team, and he Agonistic DECATUR, GA., TUESDAY, Students At Hockey Score of 11 to 8 Brings Faculty Triumph The source of this plot was -re- vealed in Chapel Saturday after Thanksgiving when the challenge was given. Nancy Evans, President of the Athletic Association waxed eloquent after the following fashion: “To our right honorable faculty: “Tt is with fear and trembling that we challenge you today ‘To a decisive hockey game played in the usual way. “For we realize that B.S.s, M.A.s, and Ph.D.s “Could vanquish anybody with ready skill and ease; “But our student team is valiant and hopes that it will score “Enough to make it interesting, if not a little more; “So, if you will, on Saturday, at four o’clock, we'll meet you “And—stranger things have happen- ed—perhaps we'll beat you.” Miss Randolph sponded with: immediately re- Whereas, Because of the time con- suming burden of injecting knowledge and true learning in young and tender minds entrusted to our care, we have been unable to practice this game as Whereas, It is difficult for us to snatch a moment from the pursuit of pedagogy for this competition, and Whereas, We fear lest this pursuit be interfered with by thus endanger- ing life and limb; nevertheless, we, the Faculty Hockey Association of Agnes Scott College do hereby ac- cept the challenge so flattering to 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.

DECEMBER 11, 1923 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. in-| No. % | ° ° 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- (Continued on Page 2, Column 1.)

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.” BLACKFRIARS PLAYS ARE GREAT SUCCESS.

After many complications, brought on by the power of the magic slipper to draw all men, and the invisibility of Harlequin, Columbine and Harlequin met in the circular park, but each re- fused to relinquish his charm first.

Classical Club Elects Officers The Classical Club held its first! meeting of the year 1923-24, Novem-| 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: Miss Helen Lane Comfort, chairman; Miss Frances Myers and Miss Georgia 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- solved, That it is to the best interests of the U. S. to enter the World| Court.” The affirmative was repre- sented by Eugenia Thompson and Oliivia Swann; the negative by Emily Johns and Ruth Liggin. The debate proved interesting, since it is a part of the question which is of most vital importance—either neg- x * 5 Line-up: Mary Anne McKinney; Pierrot, Isa-] bel Ferguson; Punchinello, Polly Faculty Pos.

Pi Alpha Phi Debates On| Intercollegiate Question | Cc 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. MR. STUKES GOES TO RICHMOND TO ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH- ERN COLLEGES. Mr. Stukes left early Thursday morning to attend the meeting of the Southern Association of College Women and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which was held in Richmond, begin- ning on December 5 and lasting thru December 7. The two associations 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. Miss Hopkins had intended going to Richmond, but on account of illness The college com- munity was very sorry that Miss Hopkins was not able to represent Agnes Scott at this time.

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.

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. Oh, yes! and Mary Jarman came, | too. She says she’s teaching ninety- two little and big boys and girls music. and play—comes chaperoning the “younger sets” to “weenie” roasts ‘and parties of all sorts. Imagine it!! | Thursday night, from nine-thirty ’til —well, we won’t say when, but Nonie had to put an end to the performance, Mary and Frances Bitzer played on the flute and guitar and one by one people from all over third floor—and 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.

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.

The lights were) |Shaded with red, and long red and green streamers were suspended in loops from the white columns of the dining room.

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.

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 each tiny white twig outlined against The chapel was dark except for the light the dark- green background. from a tiny white taper bravely shining in each window, as if each 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.

Venable Donates 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 fulfilled all Especially was this true of the Halle- choruses expectations. lujah chorus, whose mighty melodies caused the very hearts of the audience to thrill with triumphant joy. The “Messiah” the finest oratorio ever written. When it is, perhaps, is given by well-trained voices under capable direction, as in this case, it is a musical gem.

The Propylean Hall was. gay with autumn leaves and Christmas wreaths and tall, red candles. Why, it made one fairly hear sleigh-bells just to see it, and then the program! Everybody sang Christmas carols—‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’, and “Come All Ye Faithful’—in Latin, and it was surprising how familiar they sounded.

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.

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- ceiving line, greeted the many friends who called during the evening. Be sides Mr. and Mrs. Smith there were | Miss Lucey Durr, of Montgomery, the maid of} 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.

We wonder how anyone could pos- sibly want to leave Atlanta just at Christmas time, but perhaps Martha Carlisle could give specific reasons why Macon may have a few advan- tages over Atlanta. If anyone even mentions in a casual way, of course, the name of that delightful city, she blushes a very becoming blush, and gets all pepped up. We don’t blame her at all, for a little bird told us that Macon had two charming rep- resentatives down here about Thanks- giving time, and it was a real time of rejoicing for all concerned. Even the weather could not dampen their spir- its. Joe Anne Cox has a charmed per- sonalty, as well as a charming one. We don’t know whether she carries a rabbit foot around with her or not, but at any rate the gods of luck were with her one rainy Saturday morning, and did not let any harm come to her even though her car did make a dou- ble turn and almost a somersault. Let her tell you the graphic details in her — own picturesque way—it’s as good as one of Sax Rohmer’s most exciting novels. “Oh here comes Elizabeth Chapman— Oh how in the world do you know? You tell her by her winning smile She has on all the while, She has on all the while.” You also tell her by her literary talents, for she has become a full fledged K. U. B. member, and is start- ing out on her career as a star report- er. “The pen is mightier than the sword” and we believe Elizabeth will win anything she goes out for. All of us day students wish all of you just the best Christmas you ever hoped to have. “Till we meet again” —and till you come back to us! 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.

She car- ried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and lilies of the valley. After the ceremony the bride and groom were given a reception in the Agnes Scott Alumnae House. Mrs, Cragwell, sister of Miss Jones, headed the receiving line. “Miss Emma Jones” certainly needs no introduction to Agnes Scott. She graduated from here in 18, as stated above, and has ever since claimed a wide circle of friends among us, thanks to her charming personality and untiring loyalty to Alma Mater. As a student she was a member of Gamma Tau Alpha and of Hoasc. Upon graduating she became the sec- retary of our Alumnae House. 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.” PHONE ORDERS GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION We Recommend WATERMAN’S Ideal Fountain Pens For Tak- ing Notes WILSON DRUG CO. 321 E.

The occasion was a tea given by Miss Preston and Miss Randolph in honor of Miss Emma Jones, a bride of this week. Miss 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. bowls of narcissus. On the table were 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. BEAUTIFUL WHITE CHRISTMAS SERVICE IS HELD IN CHAPEL ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

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 dead, but I never had such a wonder- ful vacation.” Suspicious! Yes, this is; but it is only a part of what you would have heard if you had been in the day stu- dent room on the morning of the 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.

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.

W.C. A. News 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.

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.

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 (Continued on Page 2, Column 5) 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 (Continued on Page 2, Column 5) 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. (Continued on Page 4, Column 3) 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.

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 (Continued on Page 3, Column 1) No. 11 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: PART I. Time: Yesterday.

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, DIECKMANN HAS TWO SONGS, “CAPRICE” AND “CHRISTMAS EVE” PUBLISHED. The Professor of Music at Agnes Scott, they say, is offering a course 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. voted his time to lecturing, prin- 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 continued without further interrup- tion. was drawn into government work,|| For about four years he has de-| Mr. Richert spoke in the chapel, | was being changed; and the lecture|! c » LOCALS = 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- For Catalog, Address J. 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. eGSIGeGennewoomnaoaomo=|——_ MISS GOODSON, STUDENT VOL- UNTEER SECRETARY, LEADS PRAYER » SERVICE.

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.

Dr. Shelton closed his lecture with a loving tribute to Wilson, showing how he, in the spirit of Christ, work- ed in his great way for “the heal- ing of the nations,” and exhorting all to this brotherhood which can be obtained only through knowledge of these far eastern countries.

Less than one per cent of Ameri- can men are college graduates, yet this one per cent of college gradu- ates has furnished: 55 per cent of our presidents. 36 per cent of the members of congress. 47 per cent of the speakers of the house. 54 per cent of the vice-presidents. 62 per cent of the secretaries of the treasury. 67 per cent of the attorney gens erals, 69 per cent of the justices of the | supreme court. 50 per cent of the men composing the constitutional convention. Charles Shewing, President Emeri- tus of Wesleyan Reserve University, made an investigation in which he found that in proportion to their number, college trained men attain- ed to great wealth 277 times as often as the non-college men; that they attained membership in the national house of representatives 352 times as often as non-college men; to seat in the national senate 530 times as often; to the presidency 1392 times as often, and to the U.

They have evidently been given much thought and consideration, and we read them with the greatest inter- est. Another good department of this paper is that devoted to the Alumnae. The Howard Crimson this week contains a very good editorial on “Success,” from which we quote the following paragraphs: “All the big things are accom- plished by trying, trying, trying. Only the little things can be done by rule, and a cheap hand to do them. “Darling,” he cried, in tender tones, “T ne’er have loved but thee.” “Then we must part,” the maiden said; “No amateurs for me.” —Octopus.

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?” Daniels—‘‘Yes, indeed. I learned to do that from a radio lecture I heard the other night.’—Columbia Jester. SSHCHHHSSSSHOCSSSSESSHSSOSESESECELESEEe LAWRENCE’S: PHARMACY R. GC. LAWRENCE, Prop.

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.

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 Club was honored by having Mr. Heyward as its guest at an informal meeting in the Alumnae House.

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- 1. Martha Washington, Dell Bernhardt. Betsy Ross, Dick Scandrett. Thomas Jefferson, Nancy Evans. James Madison, Emily Arnold. Benjamin Franklin, Cora Morton. Daniel Boone, Nonie Peck. Lafayette, Elizabeth Henry. Francis Scott Key, Lilian McAlpine. Patrick Henry, Polly Stone.

Mr, Hlls- Bworth was for thirty years president of the Century Company. He is an #author as well, and a lecturer thor- oughly able to talk on his chosen sub- ject, “Moliere and His Times.” Apart from the actual text of this lecture which told in a very interest- ing way, some of the facts about Mo- Tiere’s life, and brief reviews of some 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 dramatist who has been classed by Bsome at the very head of the list of The slides which Hpictured the theatres helped us also, to get into the atmosphere of the day, the handicaps worked, and the vital interest which all men took in the affairs of the tage. | After the lecture, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth were given a reception by the Lecture Association in Rebekah (Continued on Page 3, Column 1) AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1924 ay Celebration Of February 22 Sophomore Sisters For Next Year Chosen Dainty Valentines Received on February 14 Valentine’s day!

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 (Continued on Page 4, Column 2) No. 12/3 Smith, Wight, Amis, Hall _ Elected Debaters 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 (Continued on Page 2, Column 3) 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. Che Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.75 per year in advance.

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. V066@C€—€—™l€Rae’TlexlFReeR MARY GOODRICH ENTERTAINS , AT PLEASANT MAH-JONG ; PARTY, 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.

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. LOVELY PARTIES FOR SOPHO- MORE SISTERS. (Continued from Page 1, Column 4) dining room was again the scene of a six o’clock dinner. The table was beautiful with its silver baskets of narcissi, its silver candlesticks holding red candles, heart baskets of salted al-|) monds, baskets of heart-shaped mints and gay favors. These were “Poppers” containing a paper cap, fortune in verse, and small gift for each. The Valentine scheme was carried out in the tiniest details, even the food be-}| ing pressed and moulded shape of hearts. into the, Each Freshman was the happy recipient of an old-fashion- ed corsage of violets with a red rose in the center. Later they went to the “college auditorium” and heard the Alabama Glee Club. Those present were: Marianne Mc- Kinney, Maria Rose, Mary Keesler, Lucile Caldwell, Elizabeth Norfleet, Elizabeth Lily, Evelyn Powell, and Phylis Roby. Many of the other Juniors took their Freshmen sisters to Atlanta for a matinee at one of the theatres and then to Nunnally’s for refreshments. || 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. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB SENDS DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE AT FURMAN UNIVERSITY.
