Luncheon in Gym

Opens $20,000
Campus Campaign

Odds and Evens in Competi-
tion for Goal.

Initial impetus was given the $300,-
000 Agnes Scott building completion
campaign at a College luncheon in the
Gymnasium at noon September 20.

Attended by the entire student body
and faculty, the luncheon took the
form of an enthusiastic campaign
rally. Numerous speeches boosting
the movement for raising the remain-
ing funds were made, and the affair
took on the spirit of "following
through" in the same manner that the
College drive was carried on two
years ago.

The College residents were divided
into two teams the "Odds" and the
"Evens." Seniors and Sophomores, as
the Odds, are competing with the
Juniors, Freshmen, and faculty, rep-
resenting the Evens, in the raising of
$20,000, which has been set as the
College community quota.

In the 1928 College campus drive,
$80,000 was secured by the local
groups, and the present campaign is
expected to go "over the top" as en-
thusiastically as the former one.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn is chairman
of the campus movement. Miss Lucile
Alexander is chairman of the faculty
division, while the two class teams are
being headed respectively by Mar-
garet Ellis and Chopin Hudson, Odds
chairmen, and Margaret Massey and
Diana Dyer, Evens chairmen. s

Standing of the teams will be .an-
nounced next Friday night, October' 0.
at a dinner to be given on the canlpus.

J ne luncneon ruesuay mgnt opened
with Sarah Townsend, president of
the class of 1930 and former Hotten-
tot cheer leader, serving as toast-
mistress.

Mr. J. K. Orr, popular chairman of
the board of trustees and beloved
friend of the College, opened the
speaking program with a talk on "At-
lanta and the Campaign."

Dr. McCain delivered an address on
"The Campaign of Completion, em-
phasizing the importance of making
the campaign a successful one.

"Agnes Scott is maintaining a high
standard among American colleges,"
said Dr. McCain, "We are among the
nine leading institutions for women in
the country. The campaign, when
completed, will make Agnes Scott the
best-endowed and best-equipped wom-
an's college between Baltimore and
New Orleans. The co-operation be-
tween students and the campaign
committee during the campaign two
years ago was excellent, and I am
confident that the same successful re-
sults will be repeated."

George Winship, chairman of the
Atlanta campaign division, spoke on
"Atlanta and the Campaign," also em-
phasizing the aggressiveness shown in
the initial project and the stimulation
that spirit could give the present
drive.

Raemond Wilson, of the Class of
1930, represented the Alumnae As-
sociation in speaking of "The Alum-
nae and the Campaign." Penelope
Brown spoke on "The Campaign and
the Students" in behalf of the student
body. Responses were made by the
class presidents: Martha North Wat-
son, Senior; LaMyra Kane, Junior;
Porter Cowles, Sophomore; and Nancy
Rogers, Freshman.

Several songs were sung by the as-
sembly, with Mildred McCalip, cheer-
leader, and Betsey Thompson as ac-
companist.

A skit, "The Red-Headed Stepchil-
dren," was offered by the day stu-
dents. The presentation of little Page
Davidson, Mildred McCain, Anne
Robinson. Anne Hayes, Ellen Hayes,
and Carolyn Orr as future Hottentots,
and the singing of the Alma Mater
closed the program.

Frosh Delight in
Grandmother Partv

Members of the Freshman class
were delightfully entertained by their
"grandmothers" with a party in the
Gym Saturday night, September 27.

The "grandmothers" appeared in
many varieties of old fashions and the
"grandchildren" were dressed in romp-
er suits, bright gingham frocks or
their childhood party dresses. The
I prize for the best costume was given
to Martha Logan and her two grand-
children, Gladys Pratt and Flora
Young by the judges.

The most unique feature of the en-
tertainment was the silhouettes of
Mother Goose rhymes which included
Jack and Jill, Little Miss Muffett.
Jack Horner, etc.

After the prize was awarded, boxes
of animal crackers and frozen suck-
ers were served for refreshments.

Lecture Ass'n

Presents Stunt

Speakers of Last Season Im-
personated by Students.

Following chapel, Thursday morn-
ing, Oct. 2, the lecture ass'n announced
its program for the year and Miss
Torrance, faculty chairman of the
committee, asked for the co-operation
-)f the students in making the series

For the benefit of the new students
and those old students who had failed
to remember the high-lights of last
year's lecture program, an attractive
skit in which appeared the four lec-
turers of last year was presented.
Julia Thompson, converted by a flow-
ing robe and an Elizabethan collar
into our first lecturer, Sidney Thomp-
son, gave a charming representation.
M r rendition of a poem, featuring a
snoring father and another Lochinvar,
was a dramatic marvel.

Some examples of ultra-modern art
were shown during the course of the
lecture of Homer St. Gaudens, Peggy
Link. Probably the most interesting
of the pictures displayed by Mr. St.
Gaudens was "First Impressions of
Atlanta" everyone thought that he
was undoubtedly blinded before he
was able to record on paper his first
impressions and "A Domestic Scene
in the Alps" in which appeared a
striking sketch of the Alps.

Catherine Happoldt, impersonating
Thornton Wilder, having discovered to
her satisfaction that those on the back
seats could hear without her using the
microphone, discoursed at some length
on her boyhood and the ideal atmos-
phere for reading. She included all
the gestures of the well-known lectur-
er except the ear-flipping one.

Julia Grimmett, Dr. McLaughlin in
person, "Freed Her Mind" quite ef-
fectively of a number of most ludic-
rous jokes. In the field of history, he
gave a few quite enlightening points
on the death of Caesar. The entire
program was of great interest to the
student body and should certainly con-
vince them of the folly of failing to
buv lecture tickets.

Ga. Poetry Society

Gives Prizes

Members of Agnes Scott
Club Honored.

The Georgia Poetry Society, which
has its headquarters in Savannah,
sponsors annually a poetry contest, in
which a series of prizes is offered. In
the contest held the past spring three
of these prizes were awarded to mem-

Miss Janef Preston, a faculty mem-
ber of Poetry Club, won the White
Sonnet Prize offered for the most per-
fect sonnet written by any member of
the Georgia Poetry Society. Her son-
net, "The Young Resurgent April
Claims the Earth," was judged best
among the entries of many competi-
tors, among whom was Miss Agnes
Kendrick Gray of Atlanta, whose
name appeared on the honorable men-
tion list. In the same contest, the
poems "Exile," by Alice Jernigan
('30) and "Resurrection," by Mary
Catherine Williamson, tied for the
prize awarded for the best poem writ-
ten by a college student of Georgia.

Through these three members alone.
Poetry Club reveals the fact that it
is one of the most wide-awake organi-
zations on the Agnes Scott campus.
Poetry Club offers splendid opportun-
ity for competition, as shown by the
recognition given it from time to time
in outstanding contests. A. S. C. stu-
dents, who feel their "literary urge"
directed toward verse composition, are
invited to submit poems in the try-
outs to be held this year.

Mystery Shrouds
Stunt Preparations

The school ghost stalks abroad
again! In fact, two of them are
haunting our well beloved campus.
Around corners and behind doors are
peering the spirits of the Sophomore
and Freshmen classes. And spirits
they are, too. No one can find out a
thing about them. Sophomore Lingle
and her committee are hot on the trail
of the Sophomores, and Freshman
Rogers is working feverishly to catch
the Freshmen's. And how they are
laboring! The writing committees are
laboriously toiling. On the Sophomore
committee are Caroline Lingle, ex-
officio, Vivian Martin and Elizabeth
Moore. Eleanor Holferty, Martha Eng-
land, Margaret Hippee, Mary Nom-
boudt and Gerty Lou Johnson are on
the Freshman committee.

Many Improvements
Mark Opening
Of Agnes Scott

New Building, Lawn, and
Parlors Completed

We saw it first very early one morn-
ing from the colonnade. It was a won-
derful sight a dream come true, a
thousand dreams realized in brick nnd
stone Buttrick Hall. We stood and
marveled at its beauty and stateliness.
And our wonder grew when we went
inside. We saw long halls, new class-
rooms with new desks and chairs,
There were offices bearing the famil-
iar titks such as "President," "Regis-
trar," "Business Manager" and
"Treasurer," but so new and strange
with their new furniture that we
scarcely believed we had read aright.
Newness was everywhere.

We went downstairs and found a
mail room with real windows that had
bars across them and better still, a
double door! The Book Store, over-
flowing with new stock, was just
around the corner.

The second floor was equally inter-
esting with more class rooms and of-
fices for the faculty and a long bright
room with chairs for a weary student
to rock in before going to her last
class.

I could find few familiar things in
sight there, but yesterday I chanced
to run into an old friend the college
skeleton swinging dejectedly on the
wall near a map of the Barbarian In-
vasions. He looked rather gray and
unhappy against the cool freshness of
white walls.

"I don't feel quite at home yet," he
confided in me, "but I have found
some friends here. The Roman Relics
that lived in the library have come
over here and are living up in 207.
They are most interesting. We had
a very interesting conversation last
night. You see, I can ride up on
the elevator and it is a great help
since it is very hard for me to climb
the stairs. Have you ever tried it?
You should! You just push a little
button and you go right up just as
if you were on a magic carpet. It is
quite fascinating to me because I had
never been on one before. They were
not in use in my day. The two little
lost ghosts, Old Jim and Homecque
came wailing through the halls look-
ing for their former homes, but when
they saw the elevator and rode on it
they forgot their sorrows and laughed
for the first time since June."

We finally got away from our friend
and set out for Main just as the new
lights were turned on in the lobby. We
hurried across the driveway, over wide
brick walks such as Agnes Scott has
never seen before, between broad
stretches of well terraced lawn that
will some day be green.

Main is a never-ending source 6"T~
wonder to us who knew it of old. Can
it be that where we once groaned over
Latin and History tests we now can
sit at ease in wicker chairs with soft
light from a table lamp filling the
room and a thick carpet under our
feet? The Day Students have the
long room at the end of Main hall,
which is generally considered the love-
liest room in Main. Room 42 has
been made the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet
room. A great deal of assistance was
given by Mrs. Reins of Duffee-Free-
man in remodeling these parlors and
also Miss Hopkins' office.

Ella will show you the stones under
her window that are soon to become
the new rear entrance to Main. The
small entrance to the basement is to
be remodeled also.

New equipment is not the only
thing that we have to be proud of.
Have you seen our Freshmen ? They

FOLLOW THRU

Two years ago this fall the time had come for Agnes Scott
to free itself from the shackles of inadequate equipment and to
develop in a physical as it had in an intellectual way. Classes had
been held in poorly lighted, makeshift rooms; administrative of-
fices had been cramped into a very small space; day students
lacked attractive rooms in which to rest and study. The time had
truly come for expansion and improvement.

The administration realized the conditions, and prepared to
enter on a campaign for a million and a half dollars to build a
Greater Agnes Scott. As an inspiration and impetus for the
launching of the campaign, the students and faculty at a luncheon
were presented with the facts and given an opportunity to pledge
their share to the cause. The enthusiasm was contagious and the
excitement ran high as the whole college community watched the
airplanes representing each class fly towards their goal. The
quota was not only reached but far surpassed, and $80,000 repre-
sented what Agnes Scott meant to those who were most deeply
interested in it. The fact that the students and faculty gave
their heartiest co-operation was a strong factor in presenting the
cause to people of the outside world.

As a result of the efforts of the last two years, Agnes Scott has
been transformed. An up-to-date artistic administration build-
ing adequately houses offices for administration and faculty, well
lighted and excellently equipped class rooms and student activity
rooms. The day students have a lobby in Main which delights
the eye, and date parlors beautifully furnished add much to
Witt enjoyment of the students. The quadrangle in the back cam-
pus is fast nearing completion under the direction of a competent
landscape gardener. Only the ghosts of Old Gym and Home Ec
remain.

The goal is in sight, but the last lap has not been covered.
Again the appeal rings clear for us to show our loyalty and love
for our Alma Mater. $300,000 remains yet to be raised and the
college community has been given as its quota $20,000. The lead-
ers are depending on our co-operation again to inspire those who
will (Muleavor to obtain the remainder from Atlanta and the vicin-
ity. A dormitory-dining room building, a music-auditorium
building, a chapel, and additional endowment and scholarship
funds are necessary for the immediate future. Let us each and
every one have a share, large or small, in building an Agnes Scott
which has the physical equipment which she needs. Of course it
demands a sacrifice, but everything that is worthwhile entails
effort. Agnes Scott has the spirit, the intellectual standing, facul-
ty, and student body equal to those of any college for girls in the
south. It is up to us to see that she is not hampered by inadequate
buildings. We accept the challenge. We can and will follow
through.

Word Comes from
Grete Steche

Agnes Scott is fortunate in having
each year two exchange students from
foreign countries. They have done
much to broaden the outlook of the stu- 1
dents and instruct the members of the |
college community concerning the ideas
and institutions of their respective
countries. Marguerite Gerard from
France has been on the campus for
three years and has won a place in the
hearts of all. This year Use Cusow
comes to us from Germany and is en-
tering into the spirit and activities
of the college like a native-born Amer-
ican.

News has just been received from
Grete Steche, our friend of last year,
from Leipsig, Germany. A part of her
letter to Dr. McCain follows:

"It is already about three months
since I left Agnes Scott and I am all
settled in Germany again. But I think
about the college very often and I am
filled with the desire to tell you how
much I enjoyed that year which
through your kindness I could spend
at Agnes Scott. The longer I am back
at work here, the more I miss the gay
and nice atmosphere of your college.
I like to talk about my experiences
and adventure in Decatur and I take
every chance to tell the people in Ger-
many about the lovely place and the
friendly community of Agnes Scott. I
cannot tell you how much I thank you
for the wonderful chance you gave
me, but, I hope, I can do a little for
you in telling people about the spirit
of American colleges which I hope I
learned to understand during that
year.

"I know that I have been lucky to
get your fellowship, and my year at
Agnes Scott shall always count
amongst the most interesting and
pleasant years of all my life. And I
dare say I hope you too enjoyed a
little bit having me with you.

"I am going to meet all the Amer-
ican-German exchange people at the
end of this summer in Berlin and I
am very glad to tell them all about
Agnes Scott.

"I hope that you will enjoy having
Miss Cusow, and I am quite convinced
that, if the girls treat her as nicely
as they treated me, she will feel quite
at home in Agnes Scott."

To Our Dear Friends

Of course, there is only one editor
of this column and therefore only one
person is forced, by necessity, to read
all the papers which come to us from
other colleges and for that reason only
one of us sees what we are called by
some of our fellow papers. No, we
do not mean that we are referred to
in a sneering manner or anything at
all like that, but the editor sees his
Alma Mater constantly referred to as
"Kaydets," "Cadettes," "Vedettes,"
and most everything but Keydets. The
Institute has also been termed "Acad-
emy," "College," and the like. For the
benefit of anyone who might wish to
quote us or to refer to us in any way
we remind you that this is The Vir-
ginia Military Institute and cadets are
known, in slang, as Keydets. V. M.
I. Cadet.

This item from our dear friends at
V. M. I. calls to mind the fact that
they constantly address us as The
Agnostic. We wish to tell them that
this is The Agonistic of Agnes Scott
College, which to quote our bulletin,
is "under positive Christian influence."

Scut horn Speech
It took a full half hour's conversa-
tion with a Chicagoan to convince us
that several little colloquialisms we
have bsen using these many years
were looked upon as being downright
humorous to Northern and Mid-West-
ern ears. In fact, having used such
idioms and phrases and having heard
them constantly upon the lips of our
friends and associates, we had not
thought of their being colloquialisms
or provincialisms at all. But such they
are to the crisp-talking stranger from
the stockyards and machine gun dis-
trict out Lake Michigan way.

Take this good old time-honored re-
ply of "sure enough," which we have
been using as a miscellaneous retort
to almost any remark on the part of
our friends. The Chicagoan explain-
ed that it was silly and senseless. "We
never hear that up North," he said.
"I don't understand why you say it
down South. Someone is likely to re-
ply 'sure enough' if I happen to say
that I think it is going to rain, or
that I made a 45 score on the golf
links."

As one who is guilty sometimes of
lapsing into the easily-acquired negro
pronunciation, "sho' miff," we had
little to argue in this direction. How-
ever, in pondering over the subject, it
seems to us, grammar and logic not-
withstanding, that "sure enough" is a
mighty apt retort to a person when
you have nothing else to say. Ring-

The cleverest story of the year came
to our attention a few days ago. We
can't remember who told it, but it
surely is worth passing on. Well, to
get back to the story: The men press-
ed forward; every nerve tense, hardly
breathing. With an iron pipe they
knoc ked distinctly, slowly. They wail-
ed breathlessly; from within came
three feeble raps in reply. The men
set to work with renewed vigor; pry-
ing, sawing, straining every muscle.
Again they knocked; again came raps
in reply, this time even more feeble.
A final heroic effort finally opened the
vault; a man fell forward from with-
in. The leader of the rescue party
stepped up:

"How the hell did you ever get into
that telephone booth, Mr. Whiteman?"

It may be a new year but the same
old dates climb out of the same old
Fords and sign in the same old tab-
let. The same old voices call and ask
for the same old girls. The same old
dances, the same old teas. It's not
"off with the old," but on with the
old and on with the new too! For the
improved social conditions of first
floor Main have lured back all the
swains of by-gone days, if only out of
a healthy curiosity, and tempted new
ones to spend many comportable
(to say nothing of inexpensive!)
evenings at Agnes Scott. Whoever is
responsible for those new and charm-
ing little date parlors is certainly to
be recognized for putting the draw-
ing card to our "It."

Day Student News

The Day Students are now the for-
tunate and proud possessors of a
beautifully furnished, commodious
drawing room as the result of the
campaign for a "Greater Agnes
Scott.'* In appreciation of the thought-
fulness of the trustees and the admin-
istration, the day students staged a
clever skit called by their epithet
"The Red-Headed Stepchildren," at
the campaign luncheon September 30.
However, no longer can they retain
this epithet; Agnes Scott's "stepchil-
dren'* of yesterday are her favored
children of today.

It is the earnest desire of the day
students that the boarders use their
beautiful room as often as they wish.
Agnes Scott's formal reception to the
new students and new faculty mem-
bers was held in the hall this year,
and it is hoped that in the future
many formal, as well as informal, af-
fairs will be held here.

Enthusiasm over the improvement
of their quarters has created in the
day students a desire to decorate their
room in Gaines where they are at
liberty to spend the night. Cretonne
for curtains and bright spreads have
been bought, and towels, sheets, and
pictures have been donated.

Day Student meetings are to be
held regularly the last Wednesday in
each . month. Two very enthusiastic
meetings have been held this year at
which all day students have pledged
their hearty co-operation to the cam-
paign and their unanimous thanks to
the administration for their new room.
The Day Students were the first body
on the campus to go 100 per cent in
the campaign two years ago, and this
year's day students are determined to
make "history repeat itself."

Giddy, old dear,

Here we are, back in the old dump,
and feeling so contented that Dell
Ar buckle says she accidentally let out
a moo the other day. Things seem
pretty different, to be "sure; what with
Buttrick Hall resting stylishly in our
midst, and the would-be grass plots
sprouting on the back campus. And
then to see last year's unpretentious
Juniors stalking around in stately
Seniority seems rather strange. Just
imagine little Jenny Sug strutting
hither and yon in a cap and gown; or
Nina Hammond teaching Latin un-
less she decides to spend the rest of
her life making boat trips. It seems
that everybody of any real importance
was on her boat from New York to
Savannah this summer. I defy you to
mention anybody from President
Hoover to your second-hand book-sell-
er, who wasn't. Why, there were Nina
and Miss Mac and Tom Tsk! Tsk!
Yes, his name is Tom, and he doesn't
run a miniature golf course, either.
Just ask Nina. She'll explain that
he's busy raising the level of com-
merce. I should think it needed rais-
ing, especially around here. Why, just
the other day, with my own eyes, I
saw Douschka Sweets charge poor un-
suspecting Bella Wilson fifteen cents,
instead of ten, for a sixth-hand Latin
grammar. Which all goes to show
that things are still the same at Scott.
Freshmen are still being held up for
books they should be paid to buy. The
hot water as usual affords ample op-
portunity to regain mislaid summer
tan. Popular sentiment is still against
stockingless legs. The sight of Dr.
Davidson furnishes as many thrills as
of old. The Freshmen are the usual
gullible mortals, who drink in every
word of ail the tales beginning: "Now,
last year, before you came . . .!"

But just the same, they positively
intimidate me, Giddy, with their
sophistication and savoir faire, and
what-have-you. That's all right my
noble little ears have collected quan-
tities of dirt about them, which leads
me to suspect that, underneath, they
are no different from the guileless, in-
nocent souls we used to be, 'way back
in our Freshman days. In spite of
the fact that Freshman Gordon insists
on patronizingly addressing Miss
Mattie Blanche Miller, of the Agnes

Scott faculty, as "Little One," it has
leaked out that one Gertie Lou John-
son, of California, never saw a cow
until last week on the way to Dec!
(Speaking of the advantages of col-
lege education!) Yes, it is quite evi-
dent that the Frosh are the same in-
genuous young things each year. Dicl
not Gertrude Castellow, soon after her
arrival, seek out her house mama to
ask permission to take a bath? And
did not the poor little subordinates
register the usual terror, when the
Sophomore Commission clanked up
the aisle last Tuesday night? But I
really feel unequal to pursuing
further the subject of the sinful
snivellers.

But let me warn you now don't try
rising to higher levels. Why, way up
in the Senior class, you'll find the
same old simpering and sighing. If
you value your time, never get Kitty
Reid started about men who live in
Savannah, and participate in summer
weddings, thereby making trusting
maidens lose heart and appetite. And,
furthermore, have you ever tried dis-
cussing in Shirley McPhaul's pres-
ence, that magnificent organization,
the Delta Tau Delta fraternity? Oh,
boy, and does she react?

Stunts are next week, Giddy, and
the poor Freshmen and Sophomores
have already taken on that harrassed
and perplexed expression, which de-
notes deep thought and hard work.
That old cat's a pack of trouble, but
oh, what a difference just one feline
can make!

Now listen, don't go forgetting the
campaign just because of the stunt.
We're all doing our best to raise as
much money as possible; because
we're wild on the subject of a holiday
and incidentally of a greater Agnes
Scott. Isn't that the perfect school
spirit for you? Just don't mind me,
Giddy. I talk like that, but let me
assure you that I'm just as proud of
our clear old Alma Ma as I am of
Charlotte Reid for dining out with the
captains of both the Tech and P. C.
football teams last Sunday! Mercy!
I'm just before getting sentimental,
and that would never do, so I guess
I'll have to trickle along, love.

Your devoted

AGGIE.

THE AGONISTIC

Athletic Rallv

Introduces Orchestra

Agnes Scott was enlightened as to
the true meaning of A. P. D. C. at the
athletic rally held in the gym Mon-
day, September 29th. The college
community was formally introduced to
the A. P. D. C. orchestra, which prom-
ises to be a most enjoyable addition
to the social life of the campus fol-
lowing its name Alive, Progressive,
Democratic, and Cooperative.

This new feature of the activities of
the Athletic Association was ushered
in by a chorus of lively tap dancers
bearing the mysterious letters A. P.
- D. C. During the course of the dance
the audience was informed most em-
phatically that these stand for Alive!
Progressive! Democratic! and Co-
operative! The curtain was drawn to
reveal the orchestra certainly alive in
every sense of the word, having pep,
harmony, colorful uniforms and lead-
ership.

Alive and Progressive is the orches-
tra and likewise the Athletic Associa-
tion behind it as was most cleverly
shown by the croquet chorus, a group
of Flora Dora girls who tapped a
mallet with quite the proper zest of
an athlete of the Academy days. They
rendered an excellent version of
"Rooty-ty-toot."

The A. P. D. C. orchestra is dem-
ocratic, for the benefit of all and to be
enjoyed by all Senior, Junior, Sopho-
more, Freshman, studious soul and
timid one and even the faculty. Dr.
Wright assured the orchestra of suc-
cess In this point by leading the facul-
ty Monday night in the path of pleas-
ure- and joining with the students in
cn.io\ ment of this new addition to the
campus life.

Exhibition Meet
Is Held in Pool

A swimming meet held Monday
night, October 7, officially opened the
swimming season and demonstrated
the ability of many of the mermaids
of Agnes Scott. Diving was the fea-
ture of the evening, but form and
speed swimming had their devotees.
Chopin Hudson and Sarah Hill showed
off to advantage the back crawl, while
Mildred Duncan portrayed how the
front crawl is done by all of the best
people. The race in which Caroline
Lingle took first place and Sarah Hill
second was most exciting. And of
course diving, the most spectacular
event of all, was particularly interest-
ing. May this be just a beginning of
a sport of increasing popularity
among Hottentots.

Besides, an unusually large number

social life was stressed by the leadout
of the presidents and executives of the
various organizations, who in turn
danced with their staffs and then with
new girls until the college community
was enjoying the music furnished by
the A. P. D. C. orchestra.

It was announced that the orchestra
would play every Wednesday night
for dancing in the gym and could be
had for any social function.

Faculty - Student
Match Opens Season

Thursday afternoon, October 2nd,
saw another event in the alive, pro-
gressive, democratic and co-operative
program of the Athletic Association,
when Professors Hayes and Davidson,
and students Tower and McCalip en-
tertained and instructed ( ? ) the col-
lege community with an exhibition
tennis match. The play was fast, well
divided and hard, in short, excellent.
If the rest of the tennis season, which
this game inaugurates, is as good as
this first game, there will be no tell-
ing how many Helen Willses will de-
velop.

Student Tower played with Profes-
sor Davidson and Student McCalip
with Professor Hayes. The latter
team won with a score of two sets to
one.

University Club

Owns Gliders

With participation in two air meets
to their credit, owning three ships
valued at $1500, and having made
more than 400 safe flights since last
October 1st in which there were only
three minor crackups, the University
of Wichita Glider Club has realized its
dream, according to George Baugh-
man, president.

Starting with no material or money,
with only an elementary knowledge of
aeronautics, a group of engineering
students on the Wichita campus found-
ed the Glider Club last year. Members
of the club built two of the ships dur-
ing spare time, and after work during
the summer. The third plane was pur-
chased from a local concern. It has a
wing span of 55 feet and wegihs 150
pounds, and requires a pilot to sail it.

Air meets in which the university
club participated were at Hoisington
and Blackwell, Oklahoma, where they
won a first place. Sunflower, Uni. of

The hockey season was officially
opened Wednesday afternoon with an
exhibition game between the Old
Golds and the Four O'clock team. The
Old Golds succeeded in defeating the
Pink and White Four O'clocks by a
2-0 score in a creditable opening
game.

Preliminary to the game both teams
paraded on the field, displaying much
enthusiasm and many clever uniforms.
The Four O'clocks adorned in various
ways with pink bows, sashes, etc.,
were rivaled for individuality by the
members of the Old Gold team who
were dressed in fitting costumes rep-
resenting their favorite smokes.
Prince Albert and Lord Chesterfield
made royal displays with top hats
while Fatima lighted her Murad and
walked nonchalantly to left half.

The first half passed without a goal
but with excellent stick work on the
part of Sturtevant of the Four
O'clocks and Dyer of Old Golds.

Ths onlookers were entertained be-
tween halves with original interpre-
tive dances by the Subordinates, Ellis,
Gordon, Friend and Manget, depict-
ing the Frosh before, during and after
Rat Week. Freshman Elliot gave a
rather elaborate and vivid Egyptian

interpretation. Frosh Betsy Fulk at-
tempted a clog on the grass but was
forced to substitute chattering teeth
for taps with a large measure of suc-
cess.

Strengthened presumably by puffs
at their favorite cigarettes, the smoke
stacks went back into action with re-
newed eagerness to push the Four
O'clocks for a goal. Purdie with "not
a cough in a carload o' goals" succeed-
ed in sending the ball past the guard
and brought the Old Golds their first
goal. The Four O'clocks failed to stop
the smoke stacks and after a brief
struggle Lord Chesterfield rolled up
another goal for the Smokers ending
the game with a 2-0 victory for the
Old Gold team.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1930

No. 2

CAMPUS CAMPAIGN GOES OVER THE TOP!

College Community
Surpasses Goal

Results Announced at Large
Banquet in Gym.

Following a week's turbulent pass-
age through rough and, at times un-
certain, waters, the good ship Agnes
Scott victoriously plowed her way into
the harbor of Quota last Friday night
laden to the gunwhales with $30,-
907.86 worth of pledges from the col-
lege community.

Manned by an energetically-solicit-
ing crew wearers of the once-more-
popular cotton hose and sacrificers of
"dopes" for the cause the vessel
made its way to a triumphant finish,
bringing to the home port almost $11,-
000 more than its pilots had set out
to secure.

Rewards galore awaited the suc-
cessful navigators a Saturday holi-
day for all student members, well-
earned glory of superior achievement
for the "Evens" division of the crew,
and enthusiastic momentum to the en-
tire Greater Agnes Scott Building
Completion campaign, for which the
ship had sailed under flying banners.

A banquet of celebration for the
triumphant voyage began at 6:30 Fri-
day evening, with George Winship,
head of the Greater Atlanta drive, in
charge of ceremonies. And what had
been scheduled as a dignified dinner
for workers in the combined solicita-
tion movement took the turn of one
of the most enthusiastic pep meetings
the College has ever known, as the
news spread that the entire popula-
tion of the College community had
joined the "We Pledged Too Society,"
and that the $20,000 campus campaign
had gone "over the top" beyond all
expectations.

The key phrase of the evening and
the commendatory summary of the lo-
cal drive topping the climax of the
celebration came from J. K. Orr, be-
loved chairman of the board of trus-
tees, who declared that "the generous
subscribing of students on this cam-
pus has never been surpassed in Geor-
gia or the United States."

Speeches by Mr. Winship, Mr. Orr,
Dr. McCain, Dr. J. Sprole Lyons, and
Penelope Brown dealt with various
phases of the campaign as a whole,
and the height of festivities and cheer-
ing was reached when Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn supervised official disclosure
of the successful finish of the "Follow
Through" drive, and Dr. McCain de-
clared Saturday a holiday for every-
body.

The Evens, successful Junior and
Freshmen campaigners, collected $6,-
834.61 in pledges on the campus. The
faculty and officers secured the larg-
est amount, pledging $18,623.00. Run-
ning a close second in the student
competition, the Odds, Seniors and
Sophomores, gathered pledges to the
value of $4,205.25. Organizations
turned in $1,245.00.

The banquet was described by
speakers as being a "history-making
meeting in the forty-three years of
Agnes Scott history." President Mc-
Cain was uniquely mentioned as being
the "imperative force" behind the
drive, and many compliments were
paid him and the present administra-
tion of the College.

Several hundred workers of the De-
catur and Atlanta teams were seated
at the tables in the Gymnasium, faced
by student members of the two cam-
pus teams. Dr. D. P. McGeachy, pas-
tor of the Decatur Presbyterian
church, gave the blessing, and the
guests enjoyed the plate dinners to the

Wedding of Interest
To all Takes Place

Miss Augusta Skeen Marries
October 14.

A wedding of unusual interest to
Agnes Scott was that of Miss Au-
gusta Skeen to Mr. Samuel Inman
Cooper which took place on October
the fourteenth at the First Methodist
Church in Decatur. The bride is the
elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lola
Percy Skeen and the sister of Misses
Rebekah, Virginia, Elizabeth and
Martha Skeen and of Mr. J. Hall
Skeen, of Denver, and Mr. Ransom H.
Skeen of New York.

Miss Skeen completed her prepar-
atory school work in Kansas City and
graduated from Agnes Scott College,
where, since that time, she has been
a member of the faculty. She received
a master's degree in 1924 and has
continued graduate study at Emory,
Columbia and Chicago Universities.

Mr. Cooper is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph W. Cooper, of Philadel-
phia, and the grandson, on his paternal
side, of Mr. Samuel Champion Cooper
and Miss Emma J. Widener. In 1917
he attended the first training camp at
Fort Niagara and served throughout
the war as a lieutenant with the
Twenty-Second Infantry.

Mr. Cooper graduated from the
School of Architecture of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania in 1922. After
a year of travel he moved to Atlanta
and is now a member of the firm of
Cooper & Cooper.

Glee Club Holds

Fall Initiations

New Members Entertain
With Comic Opera.

On Wednesday evening, October 7,
the old members of the Glee Club en-
tertained those who have just been ad-
mitted to the club. The initiation con-
sisted of the presentation of a comic
opera, "Pyramus and Thisbe" and
those taking part demonstrated re-
markable ability especially in range
and strength of tone.

The new members are: Maud An-
derson, Elmore Bellingrath, Dorothy
Bradley, Louise Cawthon, Margaret
Friend, Margaret Glass, Lucile Heath,
Eve Hill, Harriet Howard, Octavia
Howard, Carolyn Lingle, Katherine
Maness, Florence Mangis, Letitia
Rockmore, Betty Thompson, Carolyn
Russell, Madge York.

Work has already been begun on
new pieces and the Glee Club expects
a fine year.

PLEDGES IN ATLANTA
RAPIDLY INCREASE

More than one-fourth of the $300,-
000 fund sought in Greater Atlanta
had been subscribed by midday Mon-
day. $76,995.36 represents the efforts
of the workers during the first few
days. They will meet daily for lunch-
eon in the Chamber of Commerce
building to report progress. The col-
lege community is watching with
great interest as their friends strive
to complete the project.

When you hear bursts of songs and
yells from the chapel after supper, it's
Stunt that's in those lungs. When you
hear a steady "thud-thud" behind the
closed doors of the gym in the eve-
nings, it's Stunt that's in those chorus
girls' feet. Sophomore dress rehearsal
is Thursday night; in their superiority
they have the greatest confidence in
their abilty to win. Freshmen take
the stage Friday night; these young-
sters are so green they don't know
there's a possibility of losing. Satur-
day night what words can express
the excitement when these friendly
rivals engage in the actual contest for
the prized pussy, the coveted cat?
While you still have the calmness to
peruse such lists or is it already too
late? let us here put down a few of
the people behind these masterpieces
of the stage. The Sophomores have
delegated as their stunt chairman
Carrie Lingle, writer of "Rodent
Rookie" fame; pitted against her in
this epic contest of originality is
Nancy Rogers, chosen by the Fresh-
men as their chairman. With them
work the following girls as committee
heads: For the Sophomores, as chair-
man of the writing committee, Vivian
Martin; of the stage committee,
Douschka Sweets; of dances, Blanche
Lindsey; of decorations, Virginia
Heard; of costumes, Maude Arm-
strong; property manager, Mary
Sturtevant; business manager, Louise
Wesley. For the Freshmen: writing
committee chairman, Gertie Lou John-
son; business manager, Louise Mc-
Cain; dances and music, Dot Walker;
scenery, Martha Elliott; sewing,
Frances Farr; decorating, Ciena Mc-
Mullin. Talk about your picked teams!
Weren't they simply grand? And a
whole huge class behind each! Person-
ally, we're about to pop with excite-
ment and tremendous curiosity as to
the outcome!

Lecture Ass'n

Brings Speakers

Men and Women of Note to
Appear Here.

The program offered this year by
the Lecture Association is unusually
attractive.

On Wednesday, October 29, at 8:30
Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi will be
hrre to talk on Contemporary Liter-
ature in Italy. His lecture will be
especially interesting because his sub-
ject is one about which so few of us
really know anything.

The next lecture comes on Decem-
ber 8th, Monday, when Princess Dei-
Ling will tell us about the Manchu
court. Princess Der Ling's father was
ambassador to Japan from China. The
Princess was one of the ladies in wait-
ing to the Manchu Princess. She has
also lived in a nunnery in France and
has studied under Sarah Barnhardt
and Isadora Duncan. We anticipate a
delightful evening listening to her.

On January 2, Wednesday, Dr.
Arthur Pillsbury comes to speak of
undersea life, and to show us his mo-
tion pictures. Dr. Pillsbury is a very
popular naturalist and a delightful
speaker.

The last lecture is one that needs no
introduction or explanation "Flying
to the South PoIp." by Admiral Rich-
ard Byrd. This will be given on Feb-
ruary 26 at 2:30 in the afternoon. The
Lecture Association wishes to remind
you again that only season tickets will
admit students to the Byrd lecture.

Forum Magazine
Sponsors Contest

Prizes Are Offered for Best
Selection of Great Dates.

Do you know who begat whom as
well as what begat which and when
and why? If you do, you are quali-
field to enter a historical contest, offer-
ing substantial cash prizes, announced
by the Forum Magazine.

The idea is to pick the twelve most
important events in the history of the
world, give their correct dates, and
tell why they ought to be regarded as
the greatest dates in the calendar.

As a starter in this contest, the
Forum is publishing three articles in
its September, October and Novem-
ber issues by Hendrik Wilhelm van
Loon, Will Durant, and H. G. Wells
in which each of these famous outlin-
ers has listed the twelve dates which
he thinks are the greatest, and has
stated his reasons for thinking so.
For the three best papers listing the
most important events that van Loon,
Durant, and Wells forgot or over-
looked, the Forum will award a first
prize of $250, a second prize of $150,
and a third prize of $100.

Citizenship Club
Announces Program

Forming Intelligent Opin-
ions Central Aim for Year.

The Citizenship Club, which was
organized last May to succeed the lo-
cal chapter of the League of Women
Voters has worked out an interesting
program for the year and one which
has been designed to meet our own
needs.

The central aim of the program is
"Forming Intelligent Opinions
Through Good Reading and Free Dis-
cussion." Some of the program topics
include: "Propaganda," "The Man or
the Party?" "Administration of Jus-
tice"; "The Negro in Politics"; "Na-
tional Congressmen"; and "Is This a
Woman's Government?" In addition,
the club hopes to sponsor an election
next spring and visits to the Emory
Institute of Citizenship.

The club meets each first Thursday
night in the month and anyone who is
interested is invited to attend.

PI ALPHA PHI

PLANS DEBATE

Pi Alpha Phi announces that the in-
tercollegiate debate for the fall sea-
son will be held here at Agnes Scott
about December 9th. The visiting
team comes from Cambridge College,
England. Final arrangements have
not been concluded as yet, but,
according to the capable material in
Pi Alpha Phi this year, the college
community is assured of a highly
profitable and worth while evening.

By announcement from the regis-
trar's office, four entirely new names
have appeared on the faculty roll for
the 1930-31 session, and four old
names have reappeared following
leaves of absence. The new faculty
members are Misses Melissa A. Cilley,
Marian Leatherman, Lucile Coleman,
and Dr. J. T. Gillespie; those who have
returned this year are Dr. Mary
Frances Sweet, Dr. Henry A. Robin-
son, and Misses Katherine Omwake
and Frances Rainey.

Miss Cilley, B.A., M.A., is professor
of Spanish, taking Miss Hollings-
worth's place. Miss Cilley received
her B.A. degree cum laude from the
University of New Hampshire, later
taking a course in the history of Span-
ish literature and language at the Uni-
versity of Madrid, Spain, and in 1923,
receiving her diploma from Centro de
Estudios Historicos de Madrid, Spain.
She received her M.A. degree from
the University of Wisconsin.

Miss Leatherman is filling the posi-
tion of head librarian, the position
which was held by Miss Lois Bolles
last year, prior to her marriage in
June. Miss Leatherman is a graduate
of Cornell Umvevsity. wher^ shp was
awarded her B.A. degree. She after-
ward received the degrees of B.L.S.
and A.M.L.S. from the Universities of
Illinois and Michigan, respectively.

Miss Lucile Coleman, B.A. Emory

THE FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION PLEDGE

The tune of campus thought, word and deed has changed from,
"Gee, but we gotta win the Campaign'' to "Gee but we've already
won the Campaign." And the thought which is uppermost in the
student mind is of the fact that the success of the campaign was
rendered overwhelming by the splendid pledge made by the faculty
and administration. The gasp which greeted Miss Alexander's
"Eighteen thousand, some odd dollars," has been followed up by
quite a bit of thought on the subject and we of the editorial staff
would like to express a little of that thought.

Even if the faculty and administration had been asked to
pledge for the first time, in this campaign, the amount raised
would not have been particularly astounding. But if one considers
mat practically every pledge was an increase over that made in
1928, the true significance of their goal ($10,000) reached and
practically doubled, will be realized.

This significance, we feel, is three-fold. The faculty and admin-
istration of Agnes Scott, those who know it from the inside,
feel that the future of the college is so promising, that they are
willing to give not only generously, but even sacrificially, in order
to make that future more certain. Secondly, the pledge and the
enthusiasm and hard work, which they have expended, are proof
of the deepest and best sort of loyalty, one which might well be
imitated by the students. And lastly, anyone who ever had any
doubts about the future of Agnes Scott may banish them forever,
for captained and crewed as she is, that ship will never sink, but
will sail on in her course unfalteringly.

GIFT OR INVESTMENT

We hope that no student at Agnes Scott or citizen of Decatur
and Atlanta has had the feeling that pledging to this Campaign
for a Greater Agnes Scott is purely and simply charity. It is not.
It is not only an investment, but a good one, which is sure to bring
profitable returns in the future.

Every student should realize that every penny that is spent
on Agnes Scott in the way of endowment and equipment increases
Agnes Scott's prestige as a woman's college and consequently en-
hances the value of her degree. That may be a mercenary way of
looking at the question, but we are speaking financially, now.

Moreover, the improvements which are to be made are not so
far in the future that those students here now can not profit by
them. Buttrick Hall is a convincing proof of that fact and is
prophetic of the future. Perhaps the class of '32 will be able to
hold its commencement exercises in the new auditorium of the
future Music and Arts Building. Perhaps the class of '33 will hear
its Baccalaureate sermon in the Gaines Memorial Chapel and
"Ancient of Days" will peal forth at that time from a new organ!
It will all have been made possible by this Campaign.

The improvement of Agnes Scott should be a good investment
to the citizens of Atlanta and Decatur, for it increases their repu-
tation as educational center of the South. It places the best in
college education for women, in the easy reach of the daughters,
Bisters and nieces of the men in both city and town. It provides
the city with an opportunity of proving that their pride in Atlanta
is not solely in census returns but also in the institutions and peo-
ple, which make it so fine.

No investment which brings such returns can be termed char-
ity or a gift. Now, let the students who have already pledged
100', preen themselves on their good business sense, while the
people of Decatur and Atlanta pretend that we are their brokers
and invest their money according to the sound advice which we
have given (hem, entirely free of commission!

Fashionable Thirties

Who has not some of those old
thing-s, that we look at and sigh, and
think. "Well, I don't know where the
money is coming from, but I guess
that I will just have to get some new
clothes. I certainly can't wear those
old things any longer." Don't you be-
lieve it! Those old things will make
the best looking things of the season.
Every girl who can use a needle can
certainly use it to advantage this year,
and those who can't can have a dress-
maker make their things over, which
is certainly a lot cheaper than buying
new ones.

Probably every girl on the campus
has an old tweed dress that has be-
come too narrow for her through the
shoulders. Make it into a jumper. Do
you remember when we wore jumpers
in High School back in '24? Well,
they're here again, just as smart as
ever. A jumper is the smartest thing
you can have for country or school
wear and so very practical that it
should be the delight of every girl's
heart. If your dress is too short, buy
two swede belts, one to use as a belt,
the other to make very short straps
over the shoulders. This will let the
dress down about six inches and Moly-
neux says that swede and tweed are
perfect together.

Get some material and make a Rus-
sian blouse for a top for that old satin
dress that someone splattered ink on
the front of. Russia is about to con-
quer the western world of fashion this
year. The long tunic is also good, so
if you have a dress that is too short,
buy some contrasting material for a
skirt and have a tunic dress.

Clothes this year are more elabor-
ate and richer than they've been since
the most of us have been old enough
to take an interest in them. Fur is
most popular. Fur trimmed boleros,
and scarf collars are perfect for the
fall and winter ensemble. Then fur
collars, cuffs, muffs, hats and both
long and short coats are being worn.
The fur-trimmed suit has been an-
nounced as being quite the best thing
for matinees and informal afternoon
parties.

Waist lines are high this year even
as last. The general silhouette shows
waistlines to be one inch above normal
for daytime, two above for evening.
Sports and street skirts are to the
middle of the calf, a little longer for
afternoon wear, ankle length for eve-
ning, and trains for formal gowns.
The figure is generally molded, but
there is more diversity of silhouette
this year. There is a strong tendency
toward the Grecian and Empire in
both evening and afternoon gowns.
Evening dresses have off the shoulder
effects and very high waistlines, the
skirts falling in straight lines to the
floor. Black and white are the pre-
dominate colours for evening, supple-
mented with light blue and various
shades of red. There lies the oppor-
tunity for much dying. Evening coats
are either long or quite short just as
they were last year. This is an aid
to those who have mentally groaned
over their cute little last year's coat.

The street coat is either very long
and fitted, or hip-length. Tweeds are
no longer good, except for rough wear,
but have been superceded by the
broadcloth and other smooth ma-
terials.

Nothing is better this year with the
feminine touch predominate in all
clothes than velvet, both for afternoon
and evening. Flat crepe still holds its
own for daytime wear, and of course
as long as men are men and women
dress to please them, chiffon will reign
supreme as the best material, both for
durability and beauty, that can be
found for evening.

The old quartet of hat, shoes,
gloves, and pocketbook has received
an addition this year. Now stockings
must blend with the shoes, and never
never contrast. Hats too, this year
have undergone a change. They have
rolling or draped brims, preferably
double, the crowns are shallow and
quite a bit of hair is shown.

Everything about the silhouette is
designed to look soft, graceful, and
feminine. Harsh lines are distinctly
out, however clear lines ever will reign
supreme.

We have at last reverted to the cus-
tom of the Gay Nineties a dress for

Changing a Name

Names become obsolete and out-
grown just the same as styles change
in clothing, architecture, automobile
models, or almost anything else. We
believe the Ring-turn Phi has out-
grown its name and the time has come
when it mean's absolutely nothing.

The paper was started back in 1896
or thereabouts. At that time there
was a yell that Washington and Lee
students used that started "Ring-turn
Phi. Stickeree Bum! We're hot stuff
from Lexington." The first "words"
of the yell were taken because the
paper was the voice of the students.

The student body of Washington
and Lee would not dream of giving
that yell today. That type of cheer-
ing has grown obsolete. Yet the
name of the paper remains the same.

But, how to change the name. It is
true the paper could appear next Fri-
day under another name. There may
not be a word said about it, but more
than likely someone would suggest
that the editor is taking too much in
his hands. The only way it could be
changed is by a vote of the student
body.

The Ring-turn Phi here asks the
executive committee of the student
body to pass a resolution changing the
name of the paper, which name is to
be selected later, provided the major-
ity of the student body desires it.

We think alumni should be allowed
to vote, too. There are more alumni
taking the paper than students. We
suggest a ballot be printed in the
Ring-turn Phi and those taking the
paper be allowed to vote.

Of course, we expect opposition to
the move. We believe most of this
opposition will come from alumni. The
main reason for retaining the old
name will be purely sentimental, we
believe. "The Ring-turn Phi has car-
ried on thirty-four years with the
name, why not continue it?" they will
ask.

But because it is obsolete, outgrown,
and doesn't mean a thing we ask that
it be changed. W. L. Ring-turn Phi.

At last the mystery is out. Ring-
turn Phi would stump Sherlock
Holmes himself. We hope that the
new name will be as original as the
old.

every occasion. No longer can a girl
wear a sport dress to a tea dance and
get away with it. This year there are
distinct styles for different purposes.
Afternoon dresses are afternoon
dresses, and street dresses are street
dresses, and the mark of the well-
dressed woman will lie in her discrim-
ination between the types of clothes
and the appropriateness of the time
she wears them.

It seems as if nothing is perfect.
Why didn't that fellow Beowulf live
during this modern age of football?
Or why didn't they have football dur-
ing his time? What a player he would
have made. 'Tis said that he had the
strength of thirty men in his right
arm. Talk about stiff arming! Man
alive, just think of it! He alone could
have two full squads of husky play-
ers and still have eight men left as
reserves within himself. And endur-
ance! According to ye olde scribes,
he swam for nine days and nine nights
in a contest, all the while fighting off
ferocious animals of the sea. And
wind! He swam to the bottom of a
certain lake, the trip requiring twen-
ty-four hours, had a bloody battle
with one Grendel's mamma, then leis-
urely swam to the surface, having
been under the water for more than
two days and two nights. And he
thought nothing of it. Such a man
any college would be glad to "sub-
sidize." We take pleasure in nomi-
nating as the all-universe football
team, Mr. Beowulf. Much applause.

Etiquette

The most popular book in the libra-
ry of the University of Oklahoma is
Emily Post's dictum on etiquette.
Thirty calls a day are not uncommon
while on occasions of state requests
double and even treble in volume.
Never, it seems, shall a wild and wr.nl-
ly Oklahoman be accused of misplac-
ing his little finger while maiiipul:it-
ing an oil drill or even of using im-
proper technique in handling an over-
ly-sensitive calf. Vassar Miscellany
News.

According to the philosopher Her-
acleitus everything is forever chang-
ing, and always changing into its op-
posite^ if this be so, it is about time
for chapel attendance to increase.

Is This Relativity?

President Hoover receives $75,000
a year as president, which to most
folks it quite a lot of money. But
Eugene Grace, of Bethlehem Steel
company, got nearly 22 times that
much last year, or $1,G23,753, which
makes Hoover's wages look like chick-
en feed. It is all a matter of relativ-
ity and maybe Einstein's theory is
right after all. Bessie Tift Campus

Dearest Giddy,

I'm so morose. Here a whole month
has slipped away as sweetly and im-
perceptibly as the change from that
last five dollars. And now we're
about to dive in at the d?ep end over
these old tests. If the situation isn't
depressing, it'll do until something de-
pressing comes along. Why, if it
weren't for the fact that Mr. Tart
cashed a check of Margie Ellis' for
nothing the other day, I really think
I'd lie down on the floor and kick up
my heels and scream at the sheer
hopelessness of things. But, then,
the Frosh we have always with us,
and my gloom is a little lightened to
find that they have faith in our facul-
ty. At least I gather as much from
the fact that one naive soul wrote on
her Student Government test that the
double honor system works both ways:
the teachers trust the pupils, and the
pupils trust the teachers! Can you
tie that one? And Giddy, don't think
Gertie Lou Johnson, of the hitherto
cowless existence, hasn't gratified our
hopes. As we have always expected
of every true and loyal Californian,
she was, at one time, in her varied,
checkered, dotted and crossed career,
engaged to a movie actor!

Weren't you excited something ter-
rible when the campaign went over
the top? Honestly, I never in all my
life had such a burst of school spirit
as when cute old Dr. McCain an-
nounced that we had gone over the
top and would have that holiday I've
bem yelping about for lo these many
weeks! Yes, it was the best thing
Hint could possibly have happened. It
furnished such a splendid opportunity
to catch up on our intellectual pur-
suits, and get ahead for next week.

(By crackie! Wasn't that a good old
show at the Capitol!) We've all gone
ga-ga over the idea of a Music and
Fine Arts Building. But just think
how unmusical the inmates of Main
will get to be! Ellene W T inn says she
can't imagine an existence without
"Love in a Garden" from eleven-
thirty to twelve-thirty on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays! Speaking
of music, Giddy, the poor budding
young Ponselles certainly did suffer
for art's sake the other night at Glee
Club initiations! I'd have felt down-
right insulted at some of the things
the poor creatures had to do. I ask
you, Giddy, would you take it kindly
if you were ordered to impersonate a
weeping willow, or a lion? Things
like that make me resolve never to
try out for Hoasc. I might get in,
and have to pull a willy at the initia-
tion.

Giddy, did you hear about Eve Hill's
fifteen-year-old prodigal brother? My
dear, he fell low enough to shoot
craps, and still lower enough to be
caught. But our hero, rather than
undergo the disgrace of going up be-
fore Student Council and being chided
for his vices, ran away from school!
Well, 'twas three sorrowful and an-
xious days before he wired from
Arkansas that he wanted to go back!
Imagine our excitement over the
fugitive from justice! Why, nothing
as thrilling as that has happened since
the last Latin conference with Miss
Smith!

But I must away to more exalted
occupations, if you'll pardon my say-
ing so!

Don't dare miss the stunts Saturday
night!

Your affectionate Aggie.

Now, of course, the society editor
should, and does, encourage all that
can possibly be termed social, in this
atmosphere of intellectuality, but even
a society editor is human and feels
convinced that against the following
social customs on this campus "there
oughta be a law":

1. Morning Dates Mornings were
made for notebooks and lisle stock-

2. Parading one's dates up and
down Main hall on a week nite, when
most of the Hottentots are wending
our weary way to or from the library.

3. Having good-looking dates on
any night.

4. Getting two or more telephone
calls at the same time.

5. Having an obliging "aunt" in
Atlanta.

6. And, most disgusting of all, rid-
ing off the campus at 8 p. m. with the

POETRY CLUB

Poetry Club held its first meeting of
the year with Myra Jervey, Tuesday
night, October 7. Kitty Reid, who is
president for this year, presided at
the meeting. During the business
period, plans were made for tryouts to
be held in November. It was urged
that students who are poetically in-
clined be asked to try out, as Poetry
Club offers opportunity for develop-
ment in literary lines. During the
meeting, as is the custom, poems of
the members were read and criticised.
For refreshment, tea and sandwiches
were served by the hostess.

The November meeting of Poetry
Club will be with Kitty Reid in Gaines.
All members are urged to be pres-
ent.

The International Relations Club
held its first regular meeting last
Thursday night in Miss Gooch's studio.
The subject for discussion was a
"Survey of World Conditions that
Faced the Eleventh Meeting of the
Assembly of the League of Nations."
Catherine Wellborn summarized the
causes and extent of the economic de-
pression; Mary Hiner discussed the
strained relations between Italy and
France; Penelope Brown talked on
the results of the recent election in
Germany, and Dr. Davidson gave a
summary of the work of the last meet-
ing of the League Assembly.

Hiking Arouses
Interest of Many

Strains of "When the Moon Plays
Peek-a-boo" and "Bye, Bye. Blues"
wandered around up in the ether be-
tween Agnes Scott and Pig V Whistle
last Tuesday night. Hottentots were
out on a hike, the first moonlight hike
of the season, with plenty of moon,
heaps of fun, and a huge pig sand-
wich and a dope at the end to give the
occasion just the right zest. Eighty-
five girls wandered, walked, strolled,
or hiked out to Avondale Pig *n'
W histle just to limber up a bit, and
incidentally to grab a bite of sand-
wich and have a big time. In case
you're feeling the need of any of these
just watch the bulletin board for an-
nouncements of hikes, or go now, and
report your individual hike to the as-
sistant in your dormitory.

Archery Season

Opens for All

Archery season has opened, which
means that anyone who shoots or is
interested in learning is urged to join
the young Dianas or Rebecca Range.
"The Knights of the Golden Tassel,"
the archery club, meets every Tuesday
and Thursday afternoon from 2:10 to
3:10. Thos? who are interested in
archery may see Bessie Moade Friend,
archery manager, and come at this
time, or may shoot alone when the
range is not being used by a class.
A tournament will be held sometime
just before Thanksgiving, the exact
date to be set later.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR. GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1930

No. 3

HOASC ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW

MEMBERS FROM SENIOR CLASS

Georgia Watson, Former
Hoasc President, Is Speak-
er of the Morning.

On Saturday, October 18, at the
chapel services, the following names
were read by the speaker as the newly
chosen members of Hoasc:

Adele Arbuckle.

Helen Friedman.

Katherine Morrow.

Martha Tower.

Elizabeth Woolfolk.
The service during the course of
which these names were announced,
was opened by the processional of the
active, alumnae and faculty members
of the organization. Mr. Stukes pre-
sided and expressed Dr. McCain's re-
grets that on account of important
work on the campaign, he was unable
to be present at and take part in this
announcement service.

Weesa Chandler, president of Hoasc,
presented the speaker, Miss Georgia
Watson of the class of 1928 and presi-
dent of Hoasc that year. Her speech
follows:

"I remember as a student listening
twice each year to a talk when new
Hoasc members were announced. I
think that each time I carried away
a different idea of the organization,
and other students had ideas different
from mine. Some felt that Hoasc was
a group of girls who were, or felt
themselves, a little more capable than
the rest of the college. Others saw
the organization as a group of young
sentimentalists who did nothing but
talk about their love for Agnes Scott
and a few spots on the campus dear
to their hearts. Another conception
which was current was that Hoasc was
a sort of closed corporation whose
members each spring and each fall
selected their friends to be members
for the Senior year.

"There are at Agnes Scott, as at
most colleges, a certain number of ex-
tra-curricular activities and organiza-
tions. In general the plan of these
organizations is this: There is a defin-
ite aim and a definite work in a defin-
ite field of interest; there is a com-
petitive basis for membership, ability
and in accordance with certain definite
qualifications. For example the aim
and work of B. 0. Z. is, or was in my
day, to foster good literary taste and
to produce good short stories; the
members are selected because of
promise and ability as shown in the
try-out stories, and because the con-
testant qualifies as a member of one
of the two upper classes.

"Besides the mechanism of an or-
ganization there is a spirit, an ideal.
The Athletic Association strives to
promote good health, good sportsman-
ship, and the joy of real play.

"Hoasc is simply one of several or-
ganizations on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. Its aim and work is to think of
things and do things that may be help-
ful to Agnes Scott; its field is any
place or piece of work which does not
come within the realm of activity of
any other organization. If, however,
Hoasc does think of something bene-
ficial which might be done, for in-
stance by the Cotillon Club, the work
is handed over to that club. The com-
petitive basis for membership in Hoasc
is a competition which lasts for the
first three years of college. When I
was a student the words 'sign up' and
'try-out' seemed to be attached to
everything on the c/ampus. Hoasc
does not announce a try-out, but each
girl who enrolls in the college signs
up and the try-out continues through
her Junior year. Hoasc strives to
select for membership those girls who
through their Junior year have shown
that they had the ability to think of
things and the willingness to do things
for Agnes Scott. They must be girls
who can meet a certain scholastic re-

Dr. Averardi to
Lecture October 29

First Speaker Sponored by
Lecture Association.

Wednesday evening, October 29, the
Lecture Association will present its
first speaker of the season, Franco
Bruno Averardi, of the University of
Turin. Dr. Averardi has as his sub-
ject, "Contemporary Literature in
Italy."

The story of Dr. Averardi's past life
is a most interesting one. The Insti-
tute of International Education, under
whose auspices he is lecturing in this
country, has sent to the Agnes Scott
Lecture Association the following in-
formation concerning Dr. Averardi:

"Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi was
born in Turin of a well known Pied-
montese family. After receiving his
doctorate in law, letters and philos-
ophy at the University of Turin, he
entered the diplomatic service and
took an active part in the Naval Con-
ference in Washington, D. C, and in
the Genoa Conference. For over a
year he was a member of the disarm-
ament section in the secretariat of the
League of Nations at Geneva, and
participated in the League of Nations
conference there in 1925.

"Several years ago Dr. Averardi
left diplomacing to enter the field of
arts and letters, and became assist-
ant professor of German literature at
the University of Florence. He has
also lectured on Italian literature at
the University of Heidelberg.

"Under the auspices of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace,
Dr. Averardi served as visiting pro-
fessor at the Western Reserve Uni-
versity, Cleveland, Ohio, during the
first term of the academic year 1929-
30. During the last term of the year,
Dr. Averardi made a lecture tour of
a number of colleges under the
auspices of the Italy- America Society
and the Institute of International Edu-
cation.

"Dr. Averardi is a contributor to
the leading European periodicals on
art and literature. He has also pub-
lished several highly praised transla-
tions of the Elizabethan dramatists
into Italian and of Adolfo Venturi's
books into German.

"Dr. Averardi lectures not only in
English and Italian but equally well

Campaign in Atlanta
Nears Com-
pletion

Million and a Half Goal to
Be Reached in Near
Future.

Alabama Glee Club
To Present Program

Popular Singers to Appear
in February.

At the meeting of the Glee Club on
last Wednesday night, October 15th,
it was decided to have the University
of Alabama Glee Club give a program
here in February. This Glee Club has
been here several times before and
has proven very popular.

The special chorus by the Glee Club
attended a dinner at the North Ave-
nue Presbyterian Church, given by
the officers of the Presbyterian
churches in Atlanta. At this, Kath-
leen Bowen sang a solo and the chorus
presented a number of songs.

On Monday night the Glee Club
went to the banquet given at the end
of the Agnes Scott campaign in At-
lanta. A group of college songs were
sung.

The banquet on the night of October
10, which closed the campaign for
funds on our campus marked the
I opening of the final campaign in
Atlanta. Since then, the college
community as a whole has fol-
lowed with intense interest the daily
progress toward the $300,000.00 goal
necessary for the completion of the
$1,500,000.00 quota.

Mr. George Winship has been gen-
eral chairman of the committee in At-
lanta. Mrs. W. E. DuPre was chair-
man of the women's divisions, Mr. C.
S. Rauschenberg of the Men's Divis-
ions and Captain Augustine Sams, of
the Decatur teams. The workers were
divided under these chairmen into
seven divisions and each division into
about five teams with two captains
for each. We are familiar with a
great many of these workers now for
they have been with us on several oc-
casions and they are well known
friends of the college, and many of
them are Alumnae. We owe to all of
them our heartiest appreciation for
their splendid work for the college.

The campaign has received a great
deal of attention in Atlanta. The
churches have shown their interest
and sympathy and the papers have
published very complimentary articles
with daily reports of the progress
made and accounts of the plans for
development which depend on the suc-
cess of this campaign for realization.

The campaign committee has pub-
lished a daily report called "Daily
Campaign News." One of the most
interesting items announced in this
bulletin last week was the donation
from the Presser Foundation of $65,-
000.00 on condition that the college
raise its full $1,500,000.00. In the re-
port for Friday it was said that Mr.
J. C. Tart and Mr. C. H. Blount, cap-
tains of team number 18, had received
"citations for meritorious performance
in action" from Mr. Winship at the
luncheon meeting when it was report-
ed that they had procured the largest
sum gained by any one team $9,797.

The latest report before the paper
went to press was that made at the
final banquet Monday night. Al-
though $33,000 of the $300,000 is still
to be raised, a quiet canvass will be
made until the goal has been reached.

The successful completion of this
campaign will mean great things for
Agnes Scott. The funds that have
been raised will be used for a Fine
Arts Building, which will be built in
the near future, a new dormitory, a
chapel, and additional endowment and
scholarship funds. However, we hope
that the effects will be even more far-
reaching than this. The Rosenwald
Foundation, General Education Board,
Rockefeller Foundation, and Carnegie
Corporation are watching with great
interest the progress of the campaign
and are considering seriously making
Atlanta the educational center of the
South. This would mean the appro-
priation of about $20,000,000.00 for
educational purposes in the schools
and colleges in and around Atlanta
and an opportunity for far greater
growth and development for Agnes
Scott.

FRESHMEN DEFY TRADITIONS

AND BELL BLACK CAT

A. S. Alumna Writes
Successful Book

Miss Rose Knox Publishes
Classic for Children.

There is a thrill which comes to
every Hottentot, whether she be of
the past, of the present, or just begin-
ning to dream of being a part of the
future. It is a thrill that comes to
every generous person in the world
when the news goes forth that some-
one has gone "over the top" and achiev-
ed success. Here at Agnes Scott, how-
ever that thrill is peculiarly our own.
It seems to be compounded of "Alma
Mater" pride that perhaps Agnes
Scott has, in some way been respon-
sible; of comradely pride that one in
our order has attained it; and of per-
sonal pride that we, too, are permit-
ted the same privileges and even per-
haps the same possibilities.

We, who are here on campus now
are even now experiencing that alto-
gether exciting sensation because
Fame has once more sought out the
doorstep of a Hottentot. This time,
she has signified Miss Rose B. Knox,
of the class of 1899, author of the just
published "The Boys and Sally Down
on a Plantation."

"The Boys and Sally" is the delight-
ful story of a young lady about twelve
years old whose characterization is
complete in her own words, "I just
don't believe I want to be a little lady
when I come to think of it. They have
an awful pokey time." But there is no
opportunity for a "pokey time" when
Sally and Van, her young brother,
come to spend the year with Auntie
and Uncle Louis on their big planta-
tion in Southern Alabama, within an
acres throw of "the boys," who are a
horde of equally "anti-pokey time"
cousins. The pages of Miss Knox's
book echo with their laughter, so in-
evitably a part of children's life
among their strangely patterned ex-
istence of fact and unreality.

Though the book is intended pri-
marily for children, it has an indis-
putable appeal to those of us who
have been so fortunate as to be able to
recall scenes from life on the fast dis-
appearing plantations. The recital
of Sally's first hog-killing makes
even the most cynical stop for a mo-
ment and remember a frosty night and
an excited child capering about a huge

Championship Bout Stunt
Wins Over Sophs' Scot-
tish Chefs.

Absence must make the heart grow
fonder of Agnes Scott for while Miss
Alexander and Miss Phythian were
dreaming away the hours in France
last summer they could not forget our
new Buttrick Hall and its rooms and
rooms of bare walls. When they saw
a beautiful picture of the Chartres
Cathedral in a shop in Paris they
knew immediately that it was made
for our new administration building.
So, now it hangs above the landing be-
tween the first and second floors
where every passer is attracted and
stops to admire its beauty. The
light which falls softly throught a
nearby window and onto the picture
seems to be shining through the
window of the cathedral making the
etching a part of its setting, making
it lifelike and real.

Old Man tradition gnashed his teeth
Saturday night, sorrowful at the
smashing of a time-honored conven-
tion, and handed over the prized black
cat Co the Freshman class, sponsor of
the "Championship Bout" stunt, which
won the decision over the Sophomores'
"Scottish Chefs" in the annual stunt
night program.

Making merry before a capacity
audience in the gym, excellent casts
and choruses for both classes compet-
ed in their best manner, eliciting yells
of support and admiration from their
followers. When the cavorting and
shouting had ended, it was announced
that the Frosh stunt had been con-
sidered the best, and Miss Hale award-
ed the cat.

The gym was highly decorated, with
the respective stunt boosters divided
into two sections. The Freshmen and
Juniors were stationed on one side,
with much decoration and festivity
evident. The Sophomores and Seniors
were seated on the opposite side of
the hall, with Scotch plaids predom-
inating in their decorative scheme.

Presiding over the cheering sections
and keeping the vocal activity at a
high pitch were Margaret Friend and
Martha Plant Ellis, Freshman cheer
leaders, and Sarah Bowman, Junior
leader, for the Champion Bouters;
while Laura Spivey and Blanche Lind-
say, Sophomores, and Mildred Mc-
Calip, Senior, led the yells for the
Scottish Chefs.

The leading cast of the winning
stunt the Freshmen's bout for the
muddleweight title between Killer Hal
A. Tosis and Kid Lester Reen was
composed of Martha Skeen, Kid Lester
Reen; Mary Wormhoudt, Killer Hal A.
Tosis; Gladys Pratt, Choke Late, Jr.
(trainer); Dorothy Cassels, Soopter
Reen (kid brother); Frances Parr,
Sally Forth; Margaret Massie, Heecan
MacUsee (radio announcer); Margaret
Kump, Toby Fair (referee); and the
Thompson twins, Mary and Mildred,
as Check 'n' Double Check.

Scottish Chefs who cooked up a big
stew during the program included
Martha Stigall, Sarak Rat; Jule
Bethea, Sandy McSage; Margaret
Belote, Angus McTart; Katherine
Woltz, Huzz McHaze; Barbara Hart,
Buzz McDaze; Margaret Ellis, Soph-
oclese McMore; Margaret Bell, Dora
Mouse; and Martha Stigall and Lucile
Heath, as Two Dumb Rats.

The Freshmen wore red berets, red
skirts, white blouses, and carried white
and red Turkish towels and red bal-
loons. The Sophomores were dressed
in yellow caps, white blouses, and yel-
low aprons. They entered the scene
of activity to the accompaniment of
drums.

It is considered unusual for the
Freshman class to win the black cat,
more mature stunters usually carry-
ing off the honors. Their success is
largely credited to Nancy Rogers,
stunt chairman, and Gertrude Louise
Johnson, writing chairman. For the
Sophs, Caroline Lingle was stunt
chairman and Vivian Martin and Eliz-
abeth Moore executed the manuscript.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE

The answer, "I suppose I'll have to teach" is given by practic-
ally two-thirds of the students at Agnes Scott when they are asked
what they intend to do when they finish. The reply is colored by
no enthusiasm, no active interest; it is merely a flat statement
of an inevitable fate which overtakes one at commencement of
the Senior year.

It really is a sad state of affairs when there are no more Sir
Launcelots who are inspired to go forth to right the wrong, and
no more eager young people who are preparing themselves in an-
ticipation of going into a life work in which their native abilities
and capacities may best be developed and used for the service of
others.

The world has opened its doors to the women of today and
challenges them to take advantage of the opportunities which
await them in the world of education, business, merchandise and
science.

The Vocational Guidance Committee of the Y. W. C. A. real-
izes the need for deciding now what field the student plans to enter
on her graduation. Now is the time to think of such things, so
that your courses may lead directly to the desired end. An Eng-
lish major will hardly be of help to anyone who desires to be a
laboratory technician, and a math major with no social science
will be of no particular aid to the girl who intends to enter the
field of social service.

The Vocational Guidance Committee has planned to make an
especial effort this year to make its influence felt in each student.
An expert in Vocational Guidance will come to speak and have
personal conferences with those w r ho desire them. Her work will
correspond somewhat to that done by Miss Jackson last year. Open
meetings of the committee will be held so that all interested may
come and discuss the vocation which appeals especially to them.
Men and women prominent in their line of work will write articles
to be printed at intervals in the Agonistic. And enlightening and
instructive books have been placed on an especial shelf in the
library.

But the success of the undertaking depends upon the students
themselves. Nothing worth while can be accomplished without
the co-operation of the student body. Certainly the subject should
be of vital interest to each and every one. It is not so easy to
drift out of as to drift into a vocation unsuited to individual tal-
ents. We of the Agnes Scott campus should not be willing to go
unenlightened into the world of work. We should grasp eagerly
ever; opportunity of better fitting ourselves for our field of serv-
ice.

An Interview

With Use

Exchanges

To really appreciate this you should
sit on Use's yellow bedspread and look
at her real etching and listen to it
from Use herself. We started from
the bottom and asked her what she did
when she was little.

Little German girls, Use said, play
dolls with the same enthusiasm that
American children do. She reminded
us that nearly all the dolls we have,
and certainly the prettiest ones, are
made in Germany. When one is a little
more mature, one plays with toys and
rolls hoops and rides horseback. In
this connection she mentioned the in-
teresting fact that in Germany there
are practically no ponies. Little boys
and girls playing together have a
hilarious time over robber and prin-
cess or soldiers or a sort of miniature
golf played with hands.

Use told us that she went for her
first three years of schooling to a pri-
vate school of about sixteen pupils.
These private schools are forbidden
since the revolution and one goes for
four years to the public school. An
examination is taken for entrance to
the Lyceum, which seems to combine
our grammar schools, junior high and
high school in one. There have been,
Use explained, a good many changes
in the system and many of the schools
include work done in our junior col-
leges. Examinations have been taken
all through the school career which
permit (at present) entering a univer-
sity. Use said there was no unit
which exactly corresponds to our col-
lege. In vacation she goes to the Ba-
varian or Austrian mountains. There
are no summer camps, as we have
them. They are for only sick chil-
dren. The nearest approach to them
is hiking trips, which are taken dur-
ing school by a group of students and
teachers.

We asked next how one made a de-
but in Germany. Use said a debut
was not so official as it is here. A
girl may be sent to a pension in
Switzerland and when she comes home
she is a lady of society. Being "out,"
she said, depended on one's age. At
about sixteen or seventeen, a girl be-
gins to be invited to fraternity balls
and possibly a banquet or festival is
given for her by her parents. But a
coming-out party is not so necessary
and inevitable as it is here.

We asked her if she understood what
we meant by dates and she laughed
and said "Oh yes!" After a gentle-
man has called once or twice, she ex-
plained, he is introduced to the fam-
ily, then he and the girl may go
walking together or go to the movies
in true American fashion.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to
tell you here what she said about en-
gagements in Germany. The engage-
ment is announced in a little book.
On one side of the page the parents
of the girl announce her engagement
to Herr So-and-So. On the other side
Herr So-and-So announces his engage-
ment to her, and it really isn't proper,
Use said, unless both announcements
are present!

Fraternities are as important in
Germany as they are here. The young-
er members have to wear their colors
every day except one day a week.
Pins, she said, were worn on the lapel
of the boy's coat.

There are no dormitories in German
universities. The students board in
the town. There are a few new
student houses, Use said, at the larger
universities, but the dormitory space
in these is exceedingly small. In Dant-
zig, girls swim and play handball and
have track meets. She said that they
do not have archery and basketball
there, but they are probably played in
Berlin where one could also play golf
and hockey. Boys play football and
have track meets. She said that there
were a great many inter-university
sports.

We inquired about cosmetics in Ger-
many. Use said that her first day in
New York was an eye-opener along
that line. In Germany, nice people
simply do not use rouge and lipstick.
But one can easily get a finger wave
or a marcel or a permanent.

Finally we got around to asking
how she came to be an exchange stu-

An international discussion of the
trend of American culture will be the
first project of the Vassar College De-
bate Council, in the debate planned
for October 24th with an English-
Speaking German team representing
the Deutshe Studentenschaft. This
team, which has been brought to
America by the National Student Fed-
eration of America in the promotion
of International student co-operation,
will speak at college under the dual
auspices of the Debate Council and
the Vassar Political Association. "Re-
solved, that the foreign indict-
ment of American culture is justi-
fied," is the formal wording of the
question, the German students taking
the affirmative. Vassar Miscellany

New Student at Wesleyan Daughter of
Famous Minister

Wesleyan college is continuing to
contribute to the education of the wives
and daughters of some of the out-
standing leaders of new China. Wes-
leyan conservatory seems to be follow-
ing in the footsteps of the college,
for this year the school has as a stu-
dent Yoeh-E-Wang, daughter of
Cheng TTng Wang, minister for Chi-
nese foreign affairs of the Chinese Re-
public. Mrs. Sun Yat Sen, wife of the
first president of China, the former
Chung-Ling-Soong, was a member
of the class of 1913. Ni Ling Soong.
who attended Wesleyan in 1916, is the
wife of one of the outstanding Chinese
military leaders. E-Ling Soong, one
of the first Chinese girls ever to come
to Wesleyan and a member of the
class of 1909, is now Mrs. H. H. Kung.

New Sugar Find in Tuberculosis.

Discovery at Yale of a snow-white
new kind of sugar in the bodies of
tuberculosis germs was announced to
the American Chemical Society last
week. It is the second new tuber-
culosis sugar found at Yale. Find-
ing of the new sugar the latest step
in the national co-operative effort of
about a score of American scienti-
fic institutions, under the direction
of Dr. William Charles White, of
Washington, to run down the cause
of tuberculosis and find a cure.

Last year there were more college
students in the United States than
in all the rest of the world combined.
There were 1,237,000 students en-
rolled in colleges and universities in
this country.

going to England and her English pro-
fessor had made inquiries for her, but
found she was too young for any of
the English exchanges. He said she
could go, however, to America. So
she took innumerable examinations
and must have passed them all, be-
cause after a while a notice came
from Berlin saying Agnes Scott Col-
lege had chosen her!

Our Gentleman Friend

Since the Y. W. C. A. has its love-
ly new Cabinet Room in Main, Cabi-
net felt inspired to add to it something
of lasting beauty. It was decided that
a good picture would be most appro-
priate. For many weary days a com-
mittee looked at numerous autumn
scenes and cathedrals, but being girls
with fond hopes for the future, they
finally decided on the "Laughing
Cavalier." We prophesy that his cur-
ling mustachios and his cynical smile
will break up many a good cabinet
meeting. When you're desperate for
a date , find balm for your soul in
feasting your eyes on the Laughing
Cavalier. Our Gentleman Friend will
have no rivals in the cabinet room.

Cabinet Entertainers

The faculty advisors of the mem-
bers of Cabinet were entertained at a
Hallowe'en party Tuesday, Oct. 14, at
nine o'Clock. A sure enough live ghost
escorted the guests from the door to
the presence of a fortune-teller. Dr.
Davidson, on hearing that Mr. Rob-
inson would have two dark haired
ladies in his life, refused flatly to
have his fortune told. You should have
seen Miss Hopkins looking under cush-
ions and rugs for the reward in the
treasure-hunt. Everybody had a good
time.

At Vespers

Dr. Smart of Emory University
will speak Oct. 26, at vespers on the
"Courage of Jesus."

Clubs

The Citizenship Club met Thurs-
day Oct. 16, at 7 P. M. in Miss Gooch's
Studio. After a business meeting pre-
sided over by the president, Marjorie
Daniel, a program on "Propaganda"
was given. Miss Smith led the discus-
sion and talks were given by Margaret
Telford, "War Propaganda"; Anita
Boswell and Elizabeth Skeen, "Black
Shirt Propaganda."

Eta Sigma Phi held its first meet-
ing of the year on Wednesday after-
noon, October 15, the president, Fanny
Willis Niles, presiding. The program
was in celebration of Vergil's birth-
day and consisted of the following
numbers: "The Vergilian Cruise," by
Miss Smith; "Vergil, the Perennial
Geographer," by Harriet Smith;
"What Do We Know About Vergil,"
by Louise Ware; "The Aeneid As a
Work of Art," by A. F. Howerton;
"Vergil, the Modern Poet," by Saxon
Pope; "Later Tradition of Vergil," by
Laelius Stallings; and "Vergil, an Ap-
preciation," by Fanny Willis Niles.
The second Wednesday in each month
was agreed on as the time of the
regular meeting, and Saxon Pope and
Sally Williams were appointed on the
new social committee.

I love to watch the rooster crow.
He's like so many men I know
Who bray and bluster, rant and shout
And beat their manly chests without
The first things to brag about.

Giddy, my own love,

Wouldn't you think that after
there'd been stunts every year for lo!
these many, they'd begin to pall as con-
versational material? Well, my ring-
ing ears stand witness to the fact that
half the college wakes up with numb
tongues Sunday morning and, I'll ad-
mit, those stunts were something to
wax loquacious about, weren't they?
Didn't the Freshmen put up a per-
fectly grand fight? I love their spirit:
in with a Murad out with the cat.
Goodness knows Say, speaking of
nose: don't think Sturdy didn't wake
up one morning last week grasping
Mary Boyd firmly by the nasal ex-
tremity! I'll bet she was dreaming
about the Bean (from Boston). Which
leads me on: Douschka Sweets sure
had the old bean batting the other day,
when, on being instructed by Dr.
Sweet to outline the body structure,
she promptly set to work to draw a
skeleton!

While all the excitement of last
week was monopolizing the interest of
'most everyone, Chopin thought she'd
pull a fast one, and go out golfing
with some cute male. Imagine her
disgruntlement at finding that she'd
picked the day when they had a golf
class, and there wasn't a stick to be
had for love or money. But then of
course she ended up with a whole bag
full. You know Chopin!

Giddy, this thing called love seems
to be hitting our Seniors pretty hard
at this point. Kay Morrow has an
ardent attachment, who answers to
the unusual appellation of "John";
and Julia Thompson has actually
given up smoking and swearing be-

cause someone told her that ministers
didn't approve of such. (By the way,
I happen to know that Julia spends an
extra half hour nightly on her knees,
praying that the thermometer in
Knoxville will drop this week-end.
Humph! Sounds suspiciously like a
new winter coat to me!) Well, I only
hope Weesa and Kitty Purdie, seeing
the plight of their weaker sisters,
don't succumb to the lure of the sea,
if you catch my meaning. There seem
to be "two men from Wyoming" mixed
up in it, and neither one of them is
Gary Cooper. Didn't they barge into
the stunt last Saturday with a dashing
young tar for a piece?

Oh Giddy, did you hear about the
little dramatic scene which was en-
acted after Faculty Coffee the other
night? Miss Gooch, on making prep-
arations to depart, found herself
minus a perfectly good pair of over-
shoes. Seeing Miss Latin Smith stand-
ing nearby arrayed in some of the
sought-for articles, Miss Gooch, in her
most sleuth-like manner, approached
poor unoffending Miss Smith, and in-
quired if she, by any chance, had
adorned her feet with the mislaid
overshoes. Miss Smith, drawing her-
self up to a Ciceronian pose, respond-
ed emphatically to the negative. Miss
Gooch, however, undaunted, expressed
the opinion that perhaps Miss Smith
was mistaken. Quoth Miss Smith,
"Well, I'm sure these are mine, but I'll
take them off just to show you that
they are." Imagine, then, her utter
dismay and chagrin, on removing the
aforesaid rubbers, to find her pedal
extremities encased in Miss Gooch's
rubbers, underneath her own!

I really must stop with that one,
and ankle along to that history test.
Love,

Aggie.

THE AGONISTIC

HOASC ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW

MEMBERS FROM SENIOR CLASS
(Continued from page 1)
quirement. This briefly is that side
of Hoasc which I have called the
mechanism of an organization.

"If you remember the ideas of
Hoasc which I mentioned in the begin-
ning, the group of 'better-than-thous/
a bunch of sentimental school girls,
and a select sorority, you will realize
that in each of these ideas there is
something which if true means one of
two things; that the ideal of Hoasc
was not very high to begin with, or
that the members have fallen short
of that ideal. I have come back to
these unpleasant conceptions because
I want each of you to know and to
feel that the ideal of Hoasc is to give
to Agnes Scott the best in an effort
to realize Agnes Scott's ideal. Jou all
know that Agnes Scott gives you that
ideal in the words of St. Peter: 'And
besides this, giving all diligence, add
to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge,' to give careful attention
and effort, not to be careless or negli-
gent, adding to your acceptance of an
idea as true and obligatory strength
and courage, and adding to this a clear
perception of fact, truth, and duty.
When Hoasc has fallen short it has
been the fault of the members, of
those of us who have gone before.
Each Senior group in Hoasc, each
class as it works through its Fresh-
man, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
years, has the opportunity of helping
Hoasc measure up to its ideal.

The first responsibility rests with
the active members. As in any or-
ganization the fulfillment of an ideal
depends on those to whom it is en-
trusted. You and the girls whose
names I shall read presently are girls
who for three years have shown some-
thing of the spirit which Hoasc hopes
for from its members, but you must
not forget that becoming a member
of an organization is only the starting
point. You go into B. 0. Z. to do
more effective and thoughtful short-
story writing. You go into Hoasc to
carry on more effective and thoughtful
leadership, and to accomplish more ef-
fective and thoughtful service for
Agnes Scott. There is that active,
tangible side of accomplished work,
and there is that intangible spirit
which is necessary if Hoasc is to be
free from accusation and a worth-
while organization.

"The other responsibility rests with
the student body. Just as the Ath-
letic Association cannot succeed in its
ideal of good health and good play
unless each of you does her part, so
Hoasc, if it is to make Agnes Scott's
ideal a reality, must have your co-
operation. It needs you in a piece of
community work; more than this, it
needs the good-will and backing of
eVery student in college. Hoasc needs
your active help, your enthusiasm, and
your loyalty.

"This is a time when Agnes Scott is
seeing in its ideal something greater
and finer than it has seen before, and
the college is asking the students and
the Alumnae to grasp it, to go for-
ward, and to help in the realization.
Qoasc has a new opportunity, a chal-
lenge to help with a piece of work
that, may well bv within its field.
Hoasc and the student body have the
opportunity to co-operate in giving
to Agnes Scott the best in an effort
to realize Agnes Scott's ideal."

Opening Hockey

Games Held

The Junior-Freshman opening game
went to the Juniors with a 4-2 score.
The Frosh team with most of its play-
ers on the hockey field for their first
game managed to evade the Junior
goal guard twice, but were unable to
keep away the Junior attack from
their own goal.

Two goals were made by the Blue
and Whites in the first three minutes
of play. Frosh carried the ball to-
ward their end of the field in a fast
series of passes and dribbles, but
managed to get only one goal in the
first half.

Two more goals for the Juniors sent
the Freshman forward line into action
to carry the ball into the Junior goal
for another score. Unable to repeat
this in the last few minutes of hard
play the Frosh bowed to the Juniors
with the final score 4-2.

The first hockey game of the sea-
son between the Seniors and Sopho-
mores resulted in a 0-0 tie. These two
strong teams held each other without
scoring throughout the whole of a
fast, clean game.

The game was characterized by a
series of rushes up and down the field
and tries at first the Senior goal and
then the Sophomore goal. The de-
fense of both teams was especially
busy, Woltz and Sturtevant of the
Sophs, vying for honors with Chan-
dler and Hudson of the Seniors. The
forward lines of both teams failed in
repeated attempts for a goal, ending
the game with the score 0-0.

that she has a very charming hus-
band with whom to occupy her time,
she is always ready to hear the latest
news from Agnes Scott. She is an
ardent enthusiast of the Aggie and
looks forward to her copy each week.
Mrs. McCrary says that despite the
fact that life in Montgomery is both
interesting and busy, news and visi-
tors from Agnes Scott are always
most welcome. Miss Howson and Miss
Haynes throughly enjoyed their visit
and tell glowing accounts of Mrs. Mc-
Crary's lovelv home.

SUCCESSFUL BOOK

black pot which sent up a delicious
aroma of cracklings and a smoky blue
trail to the waiting stars. Also, in her
descriptions of Christmas on the farm,
the gifts, the dinner, and the holly
tree, of cotton picking time, the pick-
aninnies under the broiling sun, of
Sally's first possum hunt, and other
such passages throughout the book,
the author has touched through the
medium of her pen, the heart strings
of child and adult alike, offering to
one the Road to Adventure, to the
other, the Road to Remembrance.

The New York Times, in a review
of "Sally and the Boys," published in
j their issue of August 17, says "It is
t a permanent addition to literature
and deserves to be ranked with
'Little Women' and 'Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm.' " Such criticism
does not seem at all superfluous
when one has read the book.

! Compliments should also be exten-
ded to Manning DeV. Lee, who has
contributed such sincere illustrations,
taken from his own life on a South
Carolina plantation. Doubleday Doran
and Company should equally be con-
gratulated as publishers of the book.

However, we who are now students
at Agnes Scott would like especially
to congratulate Miss Knox on her
success. She is one of the many reas-
ons why Agnes Scott is proud of her
alumnae, who, in every way, work
with us and for us in fulfilling the
words :

"Alma Mater, whose name we revere

and adore,
May thy strength and thy power ne'er

decline."

using the tea house as it is especially
convenient for Agnes Scott students.
The hours, from eleven o'clock until
five, will fit in with every plan, so
even the day students can participate.

There are to be ever and ever so
many tables spread over the parlor
and the dining room and the tea room
of the alumnae house tables, the con-
tents of which will satisfy the most
whimsical of tastes and the slimmest
of pockctbooks. First of all, there are
to be two food tables one, laden with
cakes, eclairs, bon bons, goodies of
every kind, and the other piled high
with candies. Doesn't it sound de-
licious? After you have eaten you
may begin shopping. If you have been
wanting a dainty apron with a lacy
edge, it will be waiting for you on
the apron table. And on the linen
table you will find all the towels and
napkins you want for your hope chest
or that of your friend. Perhaps it is
a precious dolly for your baby sister
that you need. It will be there too!
(mi the kitchen table will be gay col-
ored egg beaters and embroidered tea
towels and painted stove rags any-
thing that cooks delight in and things
they dislike, decorated so they will like
them. But suppose your friend is not
going to be married, or you have no
baby sister, or you don't give egg-
beaters for Christmas then, buy a
flower a pot of poinsettas or a spray
of roses. If you want to buy some-
thing but you have no idea what it is,
look on the miscellaneous table. It is
sure to put you in the buying mood.

Maybe you don't care to buy, al-
though the wares are to be very
reasonable, most of them under a dol-
lar, but you would like to look around.
Do not stay away. Go over and watch
others shop and soon you'll be buying
too, and helping the alumnae pay their
campaign pledge for the money is
going to help build greater Agnes
Scott.

French Club

Holds Tryouts

'layouts for the French Club were
held Monday afternoon. The interest
shown was very pleasing and most
encouraging to the judges. We will

cais" that there will be no need of a
Junior year in Paris! The following
new members were admitted to the
club:

Davison-Paxon's
Entertains Seniors

Luncheon Given in Store
and Tour Follows.

Last Saturday, Oct. 25, the Agnes
Scott Seniors thronged Davison-Pax-
on's Department Store for a different
purpose than the usual one of an
afternoon's shopping. On their ar-
rival at the sixth floor they were met
by the charming hostess of the store
who ushered them into a private room,
in which were four tables beautifully
decorated with pink rosebuds scatter-
ed along a bed of green ferns. Over
the speakers' table, where the Facul-
ty Advisors, Mr. Davison, the hostess,
and Martha North Watson, the class
president, were seated, was "Welcome
Agnes Scott" in large purple letters.

After a few words of greeting by
the hostess, Martha North Watson ex-
pressed the appreciation of the Senior
Class. Then Mr. Davison laughingly
announced that his reasons for this
invitation were not wholly unselfish,
because the Agnes Scott girls who as-
sisted in the store during the last
Christmas Holidays were the finest
crowd he had ever seen. He express-
ed the hope that there would be more
this year.

The luncheon was a sample of
Davison-Paxon's best: fall fruit cock-
tail, Southern fowl a la king, Long
Branch potatoes, Brussels sprouts,
and last and best of all was their
famous special, butterscotch pecan pie.

Before the guests left the table, the
hostess announced that all who wished
might make a tour of the store; this
was unanimously attended. After en-
joying the view from the roof they
were shown through the bakery and
kitchen of the tea room. Then they
went down to Lne basement where
through bars on heavy doors they
could see the girls making change
from rows and rows of shiny pipes.
The tour ended finally in the beautiful
"Little Shop" on the second floor.

Seniors to Hold
Hallowe'en Party

Ghosts and Spooks to Ap-
pear Saturday Night.

The end of October is drawing nigh
and the next notable social event on
the campus will commemorate All
Hallows Eve. The Senior class is en-
tertaining on Saturday night, Novem-
ber 1 (maybe it should be October 32),
with a Halloween party in the gym-
nasium. When the witches start
reaching for their broomsticks and the
ghosts begin to walk, pull out your
costume and put on your masque. All
are invited and asked to come incog-
nito. All the plans are not to be made
public yet, but this much is certain:
there will be music and dancing and
refreshments and all "gratis" (and if
you don't know what that means, go
look it up, for it will be worth your
trouble).

That night there will be strange
things happening, queer noises, eerie
howls, black ghosts and white ones,
so you had better come to the Hal-
loween party to get a charm to ward
off the Evil One. Come find out your
fate. Come and dance till its late.
For the goblin's 'ull get you if you
don't come out.

Members and Plans

Fashion Shows at Rich's and
Agnes Scott to Be Held
in Near Future.

Annual try-outs for Cotillion Club
were held Thursday, October 23, in
Mr. Johnson's studio. There were ap-
proximately seventy-five people con-
tending for membership, the greatest
number there has been in the history
of the club. The girls to be taken in
are:

Kitty Woltz

In addition to this announcement,
Cotillion also wishes to publish two
additions to their fall program. The
club is sponsoring a fashion show at
Rich's Tea Room on Saturday, No-
vember 1. Also, there will be a sec-
ond fashion display in the college
gym at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening,
November 5. Members will model
clothes from J. P. Allen & Company.
There is to be dancing before and
after the fashion "soiree." Admission
will be twenty-five cents.

Cotillion Club was established many
years ago by Hoasc and given its
name from that of a dance fashionable
under Charles X. Its founding was the
result of the realization by the mem-
bers of Hoasc that, from the most
ancient times, dancing has been es-
sentially a social occupation and is a
general means of enjoyment and of re-
affirming social unity. The wisdom
of such a step is made evident by the
longevity and increasing popularity of
the club, which is a real tribute to the
members of Hoasc who made Cotillion
possible and to all members of the
club since its founding, for we know
that nothing will survive in any hu-
man society unless it has a functional
value.

Beside being one of the most worth-
while organizations on campus, in its
role as promoter of social relation-
ships, Cotillion is a most modern club.
It has kept up with the popular trends
in the dance from the minuet on

FIRST LECTURER

APPEARS TONIGHT

Students are reminded of the
lecture to be given by Dr. Franco
Bruno Averardi in the gym Wed-
nesday night at 8:30. Dr. Aver-
ardi, a well-known diplomat and
man of letters, will speak on
"Contemporary Literature in
Italy." A reception will be given
in honor of Dr. Averardi in the
Day Student Room immediately
after the lecture and the Lecture
Association hopes that there will
be a large number of faculty
members, students, and friends
of the college community to
meet Dr. Averardi.

Seniors to Be

Invested Nov. 8

Miss Christie to Speak at
Unique Ceremony.

The students and friends of the col-
lege are looking forward to November
8 when the Seniors will be formally
invested. In the earlier days of the
college, Investiture was comparatively
simple, but through the years it has
gradually come to be one of our most
impressive ceremonies. It is custom-
ary that until this date, Seniors do
not wear their academic caps. We are
proud of the fact that Agnes Scott is
the only college that holds this tradi-
tion of Investiture. Many of our
friends have expressed the opinion
that this service is even more signifi-
cant than the commencement exer-
cises.

The Seniors are preceded into the
auditorium by their sister class, the
Sophomores, and following their en-
trance, they are addressed by one of
the honorary members of the class.
This year a splendid speech is expect-
ed from Miss Christie, a member of
our English Department, who is al-
ready well-known both on the campus
and in Atlanta.

The recognition of the Senior class
as leaders, ?.nd this setting them apart
from the rest of the student body, con-
stitutes one of the most cherished tra-
ditions of Agnes Scott.

Dr. Smart of
Emory Speaks
At Y.W. Vespers

Develops in Vivid Manner
the Theme of "The Cour-
age of Jesus."

Dr. W. A. Smart, dean of the Theo-
logical School at Emory University,
spoke at Y. W. Vespers last Sunday.
His subject was "The Courage of
Jesus." In developing his theme, he
protested first of all against the
medieval conception of Jesus, one
which he regretted to say prevails to
some extent today the picture of Him
as soft, less manly, the Jesus whom
people called "sweet" or "darling."

Next Dr. Smart went on to menton
His physical courage how He walked
straight into the hotbed of his enemies
at Jerusalem how He bore unflinch-
ingly all the insults and infamies
which the people heaped upon Him.

But, said Dr. Smart, His physical
courage was but a touch on the cour-
age which Jesus displayed in follow-
ing His objective. It was His loyalty
to an ideal, to a purpose in life, that
carried Him on. He dared to op-
pose the long established laws of His
church the laws which He Himself
had been reared to obey. He dared to
break the laws of the social system of
His day. Dr. Smart said that His as-
sociation as a Jew with a Samaritan
in that day was more than the as-
sociation of black and white people
today.

Then, Dr. Smart said that the most
prevalent sin committed by Christian
people today is that of being willing
to go with the crowd, to be mediocre
because we are afraid to buck against
popular opinion. He said that we are
afraid to live. "Dying is easy com-
pared to some forms of living."

Dr. Smart concluded with a very
dramatic picture of the Crucifixion.
He asked us to imagine our place in
that picture, what we would be doing,
if we had been there. He said that he
would admire Jesus as He suffered,
not pity him, because He had had the
courage to go after what all of us are
wanting. He dared to follow His
ideal.

Initiates Furnish
Program at Banquet

Hoasc entertained at a banquet at
the Candler Hotel, Wednesday eve-
ning, October 22, in honor of its new
members Martha Tower, Katherine
Morrow, Adele Arbuckle, Elizabeth
Woolfolk, and Helen Friedman. All
present active members, several alum-
nae members, Miss Emily Howson,
Miss Emma May Laney and faculty
members, Dr. McCain, and Miss Hop-
kins were present.

Shirley McPhaul, toastmistress, in-
troduced the new members, who pro-
vided the program. Mart Tower,
business manager of the Silhouette,
demonstrated the manner in which she
would solicit ads from Mr. Tart, from
Rudy Vallee, and from a certain young
man at Tech. Katherine Morrow gave
an hair-raising impersonation of a big,
bold, bad bandit from Mexico. Adele
Arbuckle presented her interpretation
of an athletic addle. Lib Woolfolk gave
a distinctly different dissertation on
yeast. Helen Friedman impersonated
several well-known faculty members.
The skits of the initiates added much
to the enjoyment of all.

THE LECTURE ASSOCIATION

The Lecture Association, as Miss Torrance has informed us,
is not an organization of the faculty for the edification of the col-
lege community, but is one made up of students and faculty mem-
bers with the purpose of bringing to our campus each year speak-
ers of international repute. As a student organization on the cam-
pus, it has the right to demand the support of the student body.

The Association is to be congratulated especially this year on
its excellent program. Princess Der Ling will speak of her ex-
periences at the Manchu Court. An article on the same subject
will be printed in the December Good Housekeeping Magazine.
The Princess is a woman of varied experiences and wide travel,
and should prove most interesting. Dr. Arthur Pillsbury will ap-
peal especially to the student of biology in his lecture on "Miracles
of Nature," which will be illustrated with remarkable moving pic-
tures. It is unnecessary to do more than mention the name of
the world-famous Admiral Richard Byrd, who will tell of his trip
in an aeroplane to the South Pole. He, also, will bring moving
pictures which will make even more vivid the history-making ex-
pedition.

Tonight the first speaker of the year, Dr. Franco Bruno Aver-
ardii will lecture on "Contemporary Literature in Italy." From all
reports we learn that he is a most remarkable person. He has
lectured at the universities of four different countries, speaking
each time in the language of that community. He has served in
diplomatic service, and now he is available for tours, speaking on
art and literature. Dr. Averardi's lecture should be of general
cultural value to everyone.

The Lecture Association depends for its financial success solely
upon the sale of tickets. The nominal price, $2.00, is extraordinar-
ily low for four excellent speakers. Season tickets alone will
give entrance to Byrds lecture. The students are urged to
purchase their tickets now so that they may get the benefit of the
entire program and may set at ease the minds of those who are
concerned with the financial end of the enterprise.

We Think

PATRONIZE OI R ADVERTISERS

The Agonistic receives only a small proportion of the student
budget which is an amount entirely too small to pay for the pub-
lication of the paper. In order to make up the deficit and pay our
share towards the campaign, we solicit ads throughout Atlanta
and Decatur. This year, as we have been told over and over again,
i> one of bard times everywhere, and business men are loath to
give ads to a college paper. Those who do help us in that way
expect their advertisements to bring results, and are disappointed
When thoy do not. That usually means the end of such an ad. We
are asking, therefore, that you of the student body patronize our
advertisers; that you mention the ad in the Agonistic when you
make your purchases; that you in that way help to insure the
financial success of your school paper.

We think that Mr. Dieckmann's or-
gan recitals are some of the loveliest
things about Agnes Scott. They bring
to us that peace which comes only
with a longing satisfied, for they af-
ford us our sole opportunity of hear-
ing great music at school.

Agnes Scott, however (if we are to
believe our Freshman definition of the
aim of a liberal college the cultiva-
tion of the appreciation of the best)
has fallen far short of the standard.
For at the past recital there were
some of the faculty, some visitors
from Atlanta, and a mere handful of
students. Such an exclusive audience
is hardly encouraging to the musician,
to say the least, even though the
music may not suffer by such a
meager approval. We do not advocate
compulsory attendance, but we plead
rather for more music lovers in this
institution of higher education. Be-
cause the recitals are free does not
indicate that they are worth nothing.
It proves, on the contrary, that, even
in these campaign days, there are
some things worth more than money.

R.

We think that applause is quite ob-
noxious at Mr. Dieckmann's organ re-
citals. Handclapping is a childish way
in which to express delight. It is ex-
tremely un-musical in contrast with
organ music, and very unnecessary in
view of the many other ways in which
approbation may be shown. Your pres-
ence alone indicates your expectation
of enjoyment, and a personal expres-
sion of that enjoyment to Mr. Dieck-
mann after the program would be
much more gratefully received, I am
sure, than the loudest, longest, and
most vigorous of bombardments by
the palms.

Paderewski At Converse On His Last
Concert Tour

It is with great interest that Con-
verse College and the city of Spartan-
burg look forward to the coming of
Ignace Jan Paderewski. who will be
heard in the college auditorium Fri-
day night. January 30, on his fare-
well tour of America. This city feels
specially fortunate in securing the
master pianist, as it will be his only
appearance in South Carolina and one
of four in the southern states, his
other concerts being in Raleigh, Char-
lotte and Atlanta. This appearance
will be his second in Spartanburg

The Vocational Guidance Committee
wants to help you find the occupation
best suited to you. We know that
very few of you are really sure what
you can do or what you would like
to do, therefore we are not going to
ask you to sign up for the vocation
you are most interested in or to come
to discussion groups on that particu-
lar subject.

Remember that choosing a vocation
is after all a rather serious matter.
Be sure that what you choose is not
simply the first job that comes your
way or the job that offers the big-
gest salary. In choosing think of your
own capacities, necessities and inter-
ests, the needs of the world in which
you live and then the job itself: the
salary, working conditions, require-
ments, advancement, and helpfulness
of yourself and others. Don't be in too
big a hurry.

In this column each week there will
be discussions of various fields open
to women. Also the vocational com-
mittee meets twice a month in the Y.
W. Cabinet room to discuss particular
vocations. At the next meeting, Mon-
day, November 3, 7 p. m., library work
will be the topic for discussion and
anyone interested is invited to come.

Watch the discussions of various
lines of work in this column, attend
as many of the committee meetings as
you like, discuss the question with
some of the faculty or with some of
your exprienced friends and then
make your decision.

Village Prays Against Radio.

With the prayer "Save us, O Lord,
from the perils of the radio," the re-
ligious inhabitants of Mont Saint-
Michel, Manche, are asking salvation
from what they regard as a new
threat to morals.

A bitter attack upon radio, explain-
ing why the prayer crusade has been
undertaken is printed in the Les An-
nates du Mont Saint-Michel, organ
of the pilgrimage center. The writer,
a cleric, says: "The radio is an agent
of anti-religious propaganda."

As has been the case with the
Hoover administration, when a man
becomes president of the United
States he becomes a target for crit-
cism. In Mexico when a man takes
over the duties of the same office he
just becomes a target. Furman

Dr. McCain will speak to us at
vespers, November 2, on "The Perfect
Gift."

"Peewee" Golf Now "Industry."

Miniature golf was recognized as
a national industry by the Depart-
ment of Commerce when officials an-
nounced that a national survey is to
be made to determine the amount of
money invested, number of employees,
and income from the courses.

It is estimated that between $2,-
500,000 and $50,000,000 is invested in
the 50,000 to 75,000 courses in oper-
ation, and upward of a quarter of a
million persons are employed on
them.

The average business done by the
courses was estimated at $50 a day
on an- investment of from $4,000 to
$5,000.

Rudy Vallee, "who has made love
to millions over the radio," is featur-
ing a new song on his broadcasts. It
is the Washington and Lee Swing.
We've never heard Rudy sing the
Swing so we can only conjecture what
it would sound like.

We can see Rudy standing before
the "mike" gazing dreamily through
half closed lids and crooning the
Swing to thousands. We feel sure lis-
teners-in will appreciate the song and
feel the spirit the song has. Imagine
him nasally singing, "for W. & L. I
yell, I yell, I yell ."

through? W. & L. Ring-Turn Phi.

Book Notes

As we were dashing through Davis-
on's the other day, we paused a mo-
ment to glance at the list of best-
sellers, and saw with interest that
Maurois' "Byron" is still popular, and
that "The Tragic Era" leads the rest.
In fiction, Dorothy Canfield's new
novel, "The Deepening Stream," is at
the head. This, we read in The New
York Times "Book Review," is "writ-
ten smoothly and colorfully, with
masterful command of form. It pro-
ceeds logically and dramatically to a
rounded conclusion which is both
mechanically and artistically justifi-
able. The result should be satisfying."

Later, we gleaned from The New
York Times other interesting book
facts. There are four excellent ad-
ditions to the modern library: an un-
abridged "Don Quixote" in the popular
Matteaux translation, Bayard Taylor's
translation of Goethe's "Faust," a
volume of selections from Mencken's
"Prejudices," and Somerset Maugh-
am's best novel, "Of Human Bond-
age." It is good to have these in the
popular ninety-five cent edition.

Then there is a lovely edition of
"Collected Poems," by Robert Frost
the first complete collection. This first
edition, which is beautifully printed,
consists of a thousand copies, all auto-
graphed by the author. "The typog-
raphy has both delicacy and strength,

THE AGONISTIC

t

Giddy, dearest,

If the infirmary urge doesn't sub-
side soon, the faculty will be going
to school to themselves. Honestly,
Marjorie Gamble and I are the only
husky souls on the campus who
haven't sniffled their way down to
Miss Daugherty's Den at some time
during the past week. Margy Ellis,
wheezingly insists on referring to her
sneezing device as Athlete's Nose, be-
cause it runs all the time! Now ain't
that sumpin ? But colds aren't the only
malady. Nina Hammond took the cen-
ter of the stage the other day with a
sliced toe. It seems that Nina was
quietly reposing on her bed, when the
floor, unreasonably enough, rose up to
meet her, and slashed the unoffending
appendage. Ruth McAuliffe, exuding
room-mately sympathy, asks with
futile fervor why it couldn't have been
her neck! Personally, I can't blame
Nina for doing the giraffe act over a
toe with two whole stitches in it.

Giddy, just wrap your ear around
this. The other night an automobile
full of Frosh warblers, en route to the
campaign dinner in Atlanta, settled
themselves comfortably in the ritzy
limousine to discuss the faculty. The
conversation naturally enough drifted
around to the masculine contingency
of the faculty. Each one received his
share of praise, and then, climactical-
ly, Mardy Friend, in great enthusiasm,
yelped out, "But Mr. Stukes is my
love!" "Yes," Maude Anderson ex-
claimed, in great glee, "He's my true

love and you know, they say his
courses are the biggest cinch!" quoth
Mardy. "Oh, he's my idea of some-
thing. I'm going to get him if I have
to drop everything else. Oh, he's such
a honey!" And all the while this
scintillating conversation was taking
place, the slightly amazed and greatly
convulsed' driver, into whose ears the
enlightening confessions were being
poured, was none other than Mrs. S.
Guerry Stukes in person! It's time
for the cobweb curtain to descend on
the unutterable dismay which was ex-
perienced by the occupants of the car
when she disclosed her identity.

Oh, did you hear about Hoasc initia-
tions? Such shines as the poor crea-
tures had to pull! Lib Woolfolk had
to give a dissertation on yeast, only to
arrive the conclusion that one must
eat yeast to be better bred.

And Del Arbuckle had quite a time
living up to her nickname of Athletic
Adele, to say nothing of Helen Fried-
man's exact representation of Miss
Gooch.

But, I really must be shimmering.
Before I depart, let me break the news
to you. Try to bear it like a true
daughter of our noble institute, but,
my dear, Lib Lightcap missed a whole
question in Hygiene the other day!
Your loving, though swooning,
Aggie.

Joint Convention
To Meet in Detroit

Students and Faculty Mem-
bers to Discuss Problems.

Student-Faculty Convention

For a long time it has been the de-
sire of many progressive thinkers that
a greater understanding and a more
cooperative viewpoint be reached be-
tween students and faculty. To ac-
complish this, a faculty-student con-
ference has been planned, to take place
in Detroit this December. Representa-
tion to the conference must be on a
fifty-fifty basis, that is, an equal num-
ber of delegates from both the faculty
and the student bodies. Many ques-
tions such as Religion, Education,
Moral Standards, Administration Pol-
icy, and Campus Problems, will be dis-
cussed. A list of the topics will be
sent to each campus, and the colleges
will choose the ones with which they
are most concerned, and will make a
thorough study of these during the
fall session. The conference leaders
expect about fifteen hundred dele-
gates, and trust that much may be
accomplished through this group.

Clubs

The Student Volunteer group met
last Tuesday afternoon, September 21.
The program was a discussion of the
work for the coming year. This work
will deal with the % various mission
fields. The talk was "Our Challenge
and Choice" and was made by Mar-
garet Telford. All who are interested
are invited to the meeting next Tues-
day afternoon at five o'clock in Mr.
Dieckmann's studio.

The Agnesi Math Club held its first
meeting of the year on Tuesday night,
October 21, the president, Elizabeth
Kelly, presiding. The program con-
sisted of the following numbers: "A
Message from the President of the
National Council," by Ruth Etheridge;
"Recreations in Math," by Martha
North Watson; and "The Diqerence
Between Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-
dum," by Elizabeth Howard.

Now, this week-ending habit is get-
ting to be as serious an affair at Agnes
Scott as it is among the "ritzy"
Londoners who are never seen in Hyde
Park on Saturdays or Sundays, being,
if not at the correct country estate,
securely sheltered in their own home-
steads. Actually, the unfortunate Hot-
tentot who is forced to remain on this
bleak and dreary campus during a
week-end, sneaks around shamefaced-
ly and avoids, if possible, any encount-
ers with her equally shamefaced as-
sociates. As long as one can "week-
end" off the campus, the place is not
so important anywhere from Stone
Mountain to the roommate's one-horse
town. And with the week-ends begin-
ning on Friday with a finger-wave and
ending Monday or Tuesday with a nap
in Psych class, the problem is becom-
ing indeed serious.

Sayings of the Children

James, aged five, says Everybody's,
was eating Sunday dinner at his aunt's
house. The first course was turkey
soup with macaroni in it. The aunt
noticed James was not eating.

"What is the matter, dear?" she
asked. "Don't you like turkey soup?"

"0, yes," answered the boy. "I like
it when mother makes it. She doesn't
put the windpipes in like you do."

Advice to the Lovelorn

By Maybelline Mix
Dear Miss Mix:

I once met a boy from Yale at "J."
Do you think he would think it for-
ward on my part if I wrote and sug-
gested his asking me to the Yale-
Princeton game? I already have a
Yale pennant my brother gave me.
Anxiously,

Fredonia, N. Y.

My dear Fredonia:

Frankly I do think it would be a lit-
tle "forward" as you say, if you sug-
gested that he invite you to the game.
It would be better to write on plain
stationery, say that you are interest-
ed in football and had a brother who
once attended Yale. If he is the kind
of man you think he is, he will readily
grasp your meaning. If not, he is not
the sort of man you ought to go with
anyway.

You friend,

Maybelline Mix.

THE AGONISTIC

N. S. F. A. News Second Group of

Rabindranth Tagore Meets European
Students in Geneva

Adding to the importance of Geneva
as the summer oasis of international
education, Rabindranath Tagore, In-
dia's famous poet and philosopher,
spent August there giving his time
largely to students.

Two groups of students from the
"Geneva School of International Stud-
ies" and one from the International
Students' Union, under the leader-
ship of Professor Madariga met the
poet and discussed questions of soc-
ial and philosophical significance at
Tagore's villa.

The presence of Dr. Tagore in Gen-
eva greatly enriched the educational
resources offered by this international
center during the last few years have
become most important in interna-
tional education during the summer.
Last summer 42 countries were repre-
sented by students studying in
Geneva.

Tagore travelled in Germany meet-
ing the student and youth movement
leaders and groups, visiting student
camps enroute. In Berlin and Geneva
his paintings were exhibited. N. S.

International Organizations

The greatest danger which an in-
ternational organization has to run is
that of losing itself in generalities, of
losing all contact with realities, and of
affirming principles without taking
into consideration particular condit-
ions, and situations. Too often in the
desire to see things too much on the
large scale, to give to activities too
vast a scope, one is made to face so
many different problems in every
country that it becomes difficult to
know them all intimately and still
less to provide solutions for them all.
One no longer touches anything di-
Efectly. One ends by living in a world
of illusion, an internationalist and bu-
l BU atic world, created by our imag-
ination. Though refuses to pass be-
yond the boundaries of the organi-
zation, to observe things as they are
apart from and independently of
some political question. It is nec-
essary to insist further on the gravity
of this problem. It is only too evident
that under such conditions the most
inspired of enterprises must be barren
and unavailing. And what a disap-
pointment and disillusionment when
after long efforts and after a perse-
vering expenditure of energy one is
forced to admit that often great in-
ternational organizations, in order to
make the world aware of their exist-
ent e. t an only show a series of pamph-
lets in five to seven languages and
two or three tragically worn Under-
woods. These are pitful achievements
for such a magnificent inspiration.

The Junior-Sophomore Game

Friday afternoon of October 24th
saw the second group of hockey games
in this year's season. The first game
was played between the Juniors and
the Sophomores. Although the game
started off with a bang and continued
to be fast and open, there was a lot
of fouling, especially by the Sopho-
mores. However, the Sophs displayed
some good teamwork. The Juniors
fought hard but the final score stood
against them, 5-0. The honors of the
game were divided between Maude
Armstrong and Diana Dyer. The line-
up was as follows:

STARTING DAY RIGHT

While the majority of the students
here at Furman were still soundly
sleeping Coach Dad Amis had his
varsity football teams out on Manly
Field going through the hardest kind
of a scrimmage Saturday morning at
the unearthly hour of five-thirty. This
is the first time that the writer has
heard of a football team going to
practice before daylight. The reason
for this is that Coach Amis did not
have any afternoon practice on Satur-
day giving the boys a chance to take
in the Clemson-Wofford game over at
Clemson. Furman Hornet.

Equestriennes among the Hottentots
have now an opportunity to pursue
this most enjoyable sport. Horses have
been secured and one may ride under
the excellent tutelage of Miss Sin-
clair.

Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
at 2:30 the campus is alive with jaunty
riding habits, red jockey caps and
quite dignified grey suits. Marguerite
rides in a most becoming tan and yel-
low costume, and Use joins her to
show just how our European sisters
can excell in this sport. This fall
quite a number are taking advantage
of the opportunity to ride at such a
nominal price and it is hoped that a
successful season will launch the sport
permanently at Agnes Scott.

As yet a beginners class has not
been organized, but plans are being
made which will enable anyone par-
ticipating. At present anyone inter-
ested in riding, who has ridden before
and who has her permission from
home filed in the Dean's office may
join the class, paying five dollars for
six rides.

9 o'clock. The swimming classes are
unusually large this year and Miss
Haynes has predicted some good work
in diving and strokes for the coming
meet.

Swimming is being placed on a dif-
ferent basis this year. Anyone par-
ticipating n ia swimming class for
gym is allowed to enter the meet for
her class and consequently there will
be a good many Thursday night piling
up points for the first time for their
class colors.

Halloween decorations are to be
featured since the meet is to be held
the night before Halloween. You may
have bobbed for apples many a time,
but we are sure you have never done
it in quite the unique way of an Agnes
Scott Halloween swimming meet.
Come and try it, that is, provided you
can evade the spooks at the door and
those floating round the pool room.
The meet is called for 9 o'clock.

Ping Pong Tables to Be In-
stalled Soon.

The Athletic Board, in an endeavor
to interest more of the Association
members in athletics, is introducing
this year the ancient and venerable
game of Ping Pong. Two tables have
been ordered, and as soon as possible
one will be set up in the lobby of
Inman, and the other in the old Y. W.
C. A. cabinet room in Rebecca. A
small charge of ten cents will be made
to cover the cost and upkeep on the
sets.

The tables are convenient enough
for games in that extra ten minutes
before dinner, or for recreation be-
tween ten and ten-thirty at night.
Perhaps some will even become ener-
getic enough to substitute Ping Pong
for their usual daily dozen before
breakfast. Laura Spivey will be glad
to help any who do not know how to
play, and all tennis veterans should
welcome this opportunity to keep in
practise during the winter months.
Ping Pong is vigorous, but not too
fatiguing, easily learned, but a game
of skill; it is a game for everybody,
young and old, fat and thin, Day Stu-
dent and Boarder, Odd and Even in
short, Ping Pong is the all Athletic
Association game.

"In time of trial," inquired the
speaker, "what brings us the greatest
comfort?"

"An acquittal," interupted a man at
the back of the hall."

COTILLION CLUB ANNOUNCES

through the eras of the one-step, the
two-step, the polka, the waltz, up to
the latest foxtrot and ball-room steps.
This program, which is a real aid to
grace in dancing, might not have ap-
peared attractive to the people of an-
cient days who had their own ideas
about the dance, such as one perform-
ed on all-four in imitation of a baboon
and accompanied by a buzzing sound
to indicate a swarm of bees, the tribal
dance of a clan called Hottentots!
This program would probably have
been ridiculed also by the dancers of
the "Grizzly Bear," the "Bunny Hug,"
and the "Texas Tommy." The Hotten-
tots of the present clay, however, are
becoming more and more interested in
Cotillion and are widely proclaiming
its praise. The fact that the students
appreciate the social value and the
pleasure afforded by such an organi-
zation is shown by the increasing
number of try-outs and the large
gathering at the yearly Thanksgiving
ball sponsored by Cotillion. With such
an active body among us, we feel like
saying, "Swing your partner! On with
the dance!"

from 116, what's the difference.

foolishness too." The Rotunda.

Dr. Averardi Speaks
On Contemporary
Italian Literature

Gives View of Authors in
Field of Poetry, Drama,
Philosophy, Psychology.

On Wednesday evening, October 29,
the Lecture Association presented its
first speaker of the year, Dr. Franco
Bruno Averardi, who is lecturing in
this country under the auspices of the
Institute of International Education.
Dr. Averardi's subject was "Contemp-
orary Literature in Italy."

"Literature," said Dr. Averardi, "has
a unique significance and importance
for Italy. It is the most earnest and
powerful expression of Italian unity.
Down through the centuries, Italians
have been living many little separate
lives in their individual towns and
states, and literature has been the one
fortress where they might unite in a
feeling of spiritual unity. Dante and
Petrarch have sung their bitter cnm-
plaints over the condition of the state,
and make plain their desire to make
of this spiritual unity a living reailty.
This desire persists, like a dark nos-
talgic song floating upward, caught
up and revived by each poet in his
turn, as Chapman says, like 'a torch
borne in the wind, which each poet
gives to his successor.'

"Since the Renaissance, Italian
literature has not been extremely
popular. Here is the reason. The
Italian poet is not of the people; he
has lived and sung in solitude. Liter-
ature has been a lofty temple, closed
to the ordinary man, a temple of
purity and beauty which every poet
has made mure glorious by carving-
there his inspirations and his dreams.
Here we find the reason that in Italy
we have great lyric poets, but few
great novelists or dramatists. Drama
is born in the contact of the poet's in-
terior being with the external life
around him, and, in Italy, this con-
tact is completely lacking. The poet
is closed in by his dreams. Thus, lyric
poetry, which gives exact expression
to dreams, became dominant, and its
loftiness and unreality are but neces-
sary characters of a literature which
is to express a unity which does not
exist in real life.

"Regionalism is still strong today in
Italy. If you were to visit a hundred
small provincial towns, you would
realize in each one that you had en-
tered a new Italy. This assembly of
Italies makes Italy unique and her
literature glorious and rich, but it has,
undoubtedly, its dangerous aspects. It
creates the problem of conciliation, of
regionalism and the nationalism which
is becoming more and more necessary.
The conflict of the two is shown in the
theories of two men one who declares
that Italian literature must open itself
to foreign influences and suppress all
regionalistic tendencies and another
who holds that Italian literature must
be not only nationalistic, but strong-
ly regionalistic.

"If we wish to understand contem-
porary Italian literature, we must un-
derstand this period from 1870 to
1875, in which Italy at last became a
nation. Though a great moment his-
torically, it is one of the worst periods
for literature and intellectual develop-
ment. It is the moment of material-
ism and militarism where spiritual-
ity is denied and human personality
smothered.

"There comes a great new breath
which creates a new generation, and
a new atmosphere where intellect may
thrive and develop. The first period
of this new era of contemporary liter-
ature is one of poetry, and the first
great figure is that of Gabriel D'An-
nunzio.

"This D'Annunzio has been judged
insincere in much of his work, but

On a Mantel Shelf
Given by Class

Result of Work Shown by
Play Production Class.

The Play Production class, Agnes
Scott's newest addition to its course
n dramatic art, presented its first
play of the year last Tuesday night
at the Blackfriars' meeting. Thomas
Cushing's one-act play, "On a Mantel
Shelf," was enacted by the class, un-
der the direction of Miss Gooch, in the
Blackfriar club room in Rebekah Scott.

The play is the familiar story of an
enchantment placed upon human
beings by the gods because of their
narrow, bitter lives and their petty
interests. In this case the guilty hu-
man beings had been changed into
three china ornaments and a rag doll
and had been effectually placed on the
mantel. As in the old familiar fairy
tales, these inanimate beings were al-
lowed to come to life one night in the
year. On the night in question the
rag doll taught the other ornaments
to love. They soon became so warmed
up and enthusiastic that they attracted
the attention of a cat who knocked
them off the shelf with his tail. They
crashed, and immediately their souls
were liberated.

The cast of the play was as follows:

Mandarin Weesa Chandler.

Lady Julia Thompson.

Shepherd Elizabeth Simpson.

Ray Doll Ruth Dunwoody.

The class directed the costuming,
stage setting, and lighting for the
play. Mary Wallace and Mary Lillias
Garretson were in charge of the stage
setting and lighting.

This class, which is offered for the
first time this year, is being watched
with much interest by all the campus
community. The class studies stag-
ing, make-up, lighting, costuming and
how to coach plays. It is designed and
intended especially for those girls who
would like to be dramatic counselors
in camps or to coach dramatics in high
schools. This play has proved to the
college community the value and ex-
cellent training of the class, and has
'hereby stimulated much interest.

Ghosts and Spooks
Sport on Hallowe'en

Seniors Provide Party
Celebrate Occasion.

to

On Saturday night, November 1, the
Senior class entertained the students
and faculty at a Hallowe'en party in
the Gymnasium. The festivities began
at eight o'clock. The Hallowe'en spirit
was fostered by a darkened hall, lit
only by jack o'lanterns and scattered
ampfires; it was heightened by the
appearance at intervals of terrifying
ghosts and goblins, who emitted blood
jurdling screams, much to the terror
of the guests.

Entertainment was provided by two
obliging skeletons (Lucile Heath and
Martha Stigall) in the form of a tap
dance; by a wierd looking ghost (Eliz-
abeth Simpson) in the form of a thril-
lingly morbid ghost story, graphically
illustrated in the basement of the gym.
There were apples to be bitten on
strings, in tubs to be bobbed for and
finally, carrying out the Hallowe'en
colors there was orange sherbert.

Music for the occasion was provided
by the A. P. D. C. orchestra and
lancing was enjoyed between the por-
tions of the entertainment. One of
the popular features of this was the
palm reading by Frances Farr.

The party was a great success and a
credit to the hostesses the Senior
class whose duty and pleasure it is
to foster the spirit of All Hallows Eve
on the campus.

New System of
Advisors Instituted

Freshman Class Divided
Into Eleven Groups.

This year the administration is
sponsoring a new system of faculty
advisers and advisees. Instead of each
faculty member having a group of
girls as her advisees and serving, for
the most part, as a medium through
which the advisees may secure their
grades, the new system has been de-
vised. Under this system it is hoped
that more easy social relations may be
established between adviser and ad-
visee.

The entire group of new students
was divided into eleven groups,
with fourteen girls in each. For
each of the eleven groups there are
two faculty sponsors. One hour on
the first Tuesday in every month, and
a definite place of meeting have been
s:t aside in the college calendar for a
social gathering of the two faculty
sponsors and their group. This
gathering is not compulsory, but
serves only as a means of direct social
contact between faculty and student.
The members of the different groups
were chosen alphabetically and in this
way it is hoped that somewhat of a
cross-section of the new student ma-
terial has been secured in each group,
thus enabling the new students to
know each other better. Since the
group meeting on the first Tuesday is
purely a social gathering, it will be
necessary for the advisees to go to the
office of their sponsor to obtain their
grades. This new system is only an
experiment and the faculty is relying
on the new students to help them
make it a success.

Freshmen

Entertained

Party Given at Home of Dr.
McCain.

The Agnes Scott Freshmen were
delightfully entertained on Tuesday
afternoon, October 24, at a delightful
party given at the home of Dr. J. R.
McCain by the members of the Fresh-
man Bible Class. Throughout the
spacious home Hallowe'en decorations
were predominant.

Upon their arrival they were met by
Dr. and Mrs. McCain, who gave them
a hearty welcome. Bobbing for apples
was the first feature of the pai'ty.
Each one had to land one successfully
before she could go on with the rest
of the fun.

In each room huge fires added much
to the cozy atmosphere, over which
marshmallows galore were toasted.
Peanuts and sugar cane were abund-
ant on the tables and consoles. This
was indeed a treat, since many of
the Frosh had never seen sugar cane.

A delicious ice course with cakes
was served, which in itself carried out
the black and orange color scheme,
prevailing in all the decorations.
Witches and cats were given as favors.

During the afternoon music and con-
versation were enjoyed. The Fresh-
men are deeply indebted to their host-
esses for this lovely occasion.

Dean De Ovies
Talks On Affiliation

Asks Students to Affiliate
With Church of Choice.

Saturday morning, Nov. 1, Dean de
Ovies of the Episcopal Cathedral
spoke in chapel. His talk was one
of the most delightful we have
had this year. His descriptions of the
"bold" girls and the "fast" customs
of his early manhood days were most
entertaining. And when he took out
his handkerchief to demonstrate how
dancing was done in his day, we were
all nearly convulsed with laughter.

However, in spite of all his seem-
ingly nonsensical talk, there was a
very definite purpose behind it all.
He said that there are certain things
in life about which we can do nothing
certain environmental and inherited
ckm Lnts in our lives which we cannot
control. There are the traditions of
the section of the country in which we
live, or our names, for instance. Every
one of us has a pride in her name
which stands for honor, honesty and
high ideals, things which we are all
proud to have the right to represent.
Just so, the church to which we be-
belong is one of the things which,
like our name, we cannot escape. We
would never think of living under an
assumed name while we are away at
college, therefore, said Dean de Ovies,
why should we go to another church
than our own denomination while we
are at school.

In concluding, Dean de Ovies said
that here at college we develop mental-
ly and physically, but that we are apt
to neglect our religious development.
Do not our souls have as much right
to attention as our minds and bodies?

The Episcopal Cathedral is near
the Capitol and can be reached by the
South Decatur car line, which goes
by the tea house.

Cotillion Club

Initiations Held

Clever Skits Given by New
Members.

The Cotillion Club held its initiations

were taken in in the recent try-outs
entertained the old members.

May Latimer, Liza Tway, and Jane
McMillan gave a take off of the debu-
tantes at the charity ball. An im-
personation of Marilyn Miller was

Hartsell, and Sally Williams. "True
to the Navy" was presented by Marion
Lee, Clara Bow, and Louise Lake, the
Navy. Nancy Carroll, impersonated by
Mary Boyd, sang "We'll Make a Peach
of a Pair." Caroline Waterman por-
trayed Mrs. Van Astor at a fox hunt.
Dorothy Walker represented a girl at
her first prom at West Point she re-
ceived two proposals during the eve-
ning. Marybelle Stollenwerck gave

the clown. Field Shackleford drama-
tized "Horace." Kitty Woltz and A.
F. Howerton represented Amos ' Andy.

Lecturer Makes
Talk in Chapel
On Modern Italy

Presents Benito Mussolini
and Fascism in Unbiased
Way.

Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi, the first
lecturer of the season, was introduced
at the chapel service on October 30,
b> Tst: Philip G. Davidson. Dr. Aver-
ardi gave a clear, unbiased account of
the present conditions and government
in Italy.

"Activity in all fields of modern life
differ," said the speaker. "Owing to
the geographical position of Italy
great industries could be founded only
in the north. Agriculture was pre-
dominant in the south. Old-fashioned
msthods, however, hindered progress.
The great effort being made now is
to convince the world that every part
of Italy has elements and possibilities
for great industries.

"Railways have been constructed,
electric light systems installed, and in
a few years Southern Italy has been
transformed. Industrial greatness is
necessary to world power, but danger
lies in the fact that it may lead to
placing financial aims higher than
spiritual ideas. Mr. Mussolini, how-
ever, is conscious of the fact, there-
fore all of those sentiments against
materialism must be encouraged and
kept awake like a shield against all
of industry. According to Mr. Musso-
lini there are two sentiments in the
Italian heart the religious and the
historical.

"Many used to think that a liberal
and a democratic government had t6
be indifferent to religion. Fascists,
however, believe that it is too import-
ant to neglect. Official religious train-
ing, therefore, has been resumed in the
schools. The solution to the conflict
between the Holy See and the govern-
ment has been brought about. The
conflict really existed more in the
popular classes of Southern Italy. The
simple minds of the people were un-
able to reconcile the two. Mussolini
now has brought about spiritual unity.

"The historical sentiment is that
proud feeling of the blood, a desire to
be worthy of the past in the future.
It is a feeling that Italians as inheri-
tors of a great culture must continue
it. Excavations are inspired by the
desire to convince Italians that the
past is alive and that it points to the
future. The imperial market has been
discovered in Rome. Old monuments
of imperial Rome have been revealed
in their marvelous majesty. The work
in Pompeii continues and new marvels
continually appear. Children are told
of them and are made conscious of the
great past.

"Education is one of the great ef-
forts of the present government. The
aim is to reconcile intellectual and
physical education. America is most
valuable as an example. The camping
movement gives new possibilities of
physical development, and makes the
new generation different from that of
yesterday.

"The new form of government is one
of the most remarkable and important
changes since the war. Fascism is a
great problem and one of the move-
ments most apt to be misunderstood.
Every year brings changes in its evo-
lution. Mussolini does not desire one to
be a traveling salesman of Fascism. It
is not the perfect government for the
world, but it desires world contact to
bring about peace. Mussolini realizes
that only in place can Italy attain pro-
gress. He wishes to promote contact
with the world and especially with
America. But he wishes an Italian to
explain Fascism as a form of govern-
ment necessary for Italy in a particu-
lar period of its life.

THE Y. W. C. A. BUDGET

Once more the call comes for giving. This time it is not for
the future, but for the present. Every vital, living organization
must have certain tools with which to accomplish its aims, and un-
fortunately these do not grow to be picked without effort from
trees. The budget of the Y. W. C. A. endeavors to estimate the
amount of money which will be needed to carry out its program of
service.

Even a fleeting glance at the items included in the budget is
convincing of its worth. First there are the dollars which go to
local expenses poster material, printing, music, candles, books on
vocational guidance, social functions, annual page, and social serv-
ice projects. There is no one on the campus who has not at some
time been in some way affected by one of the local branches of the
organization.

Next comes the item for conferences. Only those who have at-
tended one or more of them can realize their true worth and value.
They provide new ideas which may be worked out on our own
campus, they stimulate the minds of the delegates, and through
contact with some of the nest young people's workers of the coun-
try deepen the spiritual Life of those privileged to attend them.
Conferences provide a means also by which Agnes Scott may be
made known to others. It is through our delegates that students
of other institutions learn of us.

We would not be without the speaker who comes each year
to give a series of inspirational adrdesses. He turns our minds to
thoughts of things of more than worldly value and enriches the
experience of the student.

The projects include our unselfish endeavors to give to those
less fortunate than we are something of our joy and happiness.
The chief object is our missionary in Korea, Miss Winn. Through
her \vc are enabled to keep in direct touch with the mission field
and the work that is being done there. A large share goes to the
National Student Council, and the World Student Christian Feder-
ation. There are also included in the fund two scholarships, one
at Agnes Scott and the other at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee Home Mis-
sion School.

In each item is a challenge to every one of us. The only way
that can bring the dreams of service into a reality is to make
our budget go over the top. Agnes Scott is one of the few schools
which has dared to have its Y. W. budget separate from the one
which covers other student activities. It has trusted in the gen-
erosity and interest of the students in the aims and ideals of their
own Y. W. C. A. to make the budget successful. We may say that
this is a year of hard times, but we must remember that it is even
worse for those whom wo reach through the Y. W. program. The
budget has never fallen short of its goal, we cannot be the first to

NOTICE

The staff wishes to correct errors which have appeared in re-
cent issues of the Agonistic. In the paper of October 21 the im-
pression was given that Miss Alexander and Miss Phythian pre-
sented the etching as a gift to the college. In reality, they were
given by the administration the privilege of selecting it while they
wnv in Kin-one.

Also, in the issue of October 28, the name of Johnnie Turner
was unintentionally omitted from the list of the new members of
the ( 'otillion Club.

DR. AVERARDI SPEAKS

OX CONTEMPORARY

ITALIAN LITERATURE

(Continued from page 1)
this alleged insincerity is but the
working of that fiery imagination of
his, that tendency to play the actor,
to see really before him what he
wants to see a characteristic common
to the people of Abruzzi, his native
state. Recognition of this fact ex-
plains, to a great extent what he was
as a man and as a poet.

"Educated at the College Cicognini,
in Prato, near Florence, he found
himself in Tuscany where all the glory
of the past and present spoke to him.
Here he learned that gift which Tus-
cany has made to Italian literature
the harmonious expression of the
beauty of every thought and dream.

"One thing D'Annunzio had in com-
mon with the Italians of the Renais-
sance a blending of a great, almost
morbid sense of the beautiful with a
readiness to act. These qualities,
which usually exclude one another, are
shown in his life. He was a daring
aviator in the world war and was the
man who awoke Italian youth and led
it forward to achievement. He "has
harmonized the greatest work of the
poet and of the man.

"D'Annunzio was keenly aware of
the sensuous beauty of life and he has
been considered a pagan and a mater-
ialist for his exaggeration of such
beauty. This was, however, merely
the necessary swinging back of the
pendulum in reaction against rank
militarism. In his hands, the sleep-
ing treasures of the language were
awakened and the Italian language
became a beautiful shining instrument
to be bent and brandished skilfully in
his hands.

"In D'Annunzio's second period, we
find something more than beauty and
pleasure. He is like the poet in
Dante's 'Divine Comedy,' who, having
realized his desire to become a power-
ful writer, knew that he had deceived
himself and could be appeased only
by the spiritual, and so turns to God.
And so, D'Annunzio goes to the spirit-
ual source of beauty and pleasure, and
strikes a new wonderful note. In 'La
Figla de Jorio,' a young girl accuses
herself of her lover's crime and is
condemned to be burned to death. As
the fire surrounds her she cries, 'The
flame is beautiful the flame is beauti-
ful.' Life, to D'Annunzio is beautiful,
but there is something greater. That
for which we sacrifice life is more
beautiful than the life we sacrifice.

"A great figure who entered D'An-
nunzio's life about this time and is
somewhat responsible for this change
is the actress Eleanora Duse, who
believed in the beauty which is abso-
lute truth, and the truth which is ab-
solute beauty! She had the power to
awaken a new spirituality in men, and
through her influence on D'Annunzio,
a new drama was born in Italy.

"D'Annunzio was the disciple of
Shelley in his atheism, his ability to
see God in everything. He is the des-
cendent of Nietzsche in his individual-
ism, his conception of man as the
center of the universe.

"The second figure in this period is
Giovanni Pascoli, a brother of D'An-
nunzio in his love of nature, but abso-
lutely different in some respects. D'An-
nunzio was a man of action, and like
a man of the Renaissance he had no
doubt about life. All was wonderful.
Pascoli, on the other hand, is a 'fin du
sirele' poet, a man of contemplation,
who believes one cannot know hap-
piness except in dreams, and whose
true greatness lies in his perfect sin-
cerity. His was a childlike simplicity
which did not look back, but looked at
the world as it was and sought to
know meaning. This child of nature
was a revolutionist who declared that
it was necessary to look at nature
and follow her. He was the repre-
sentative of Romanticism in Italy.

"The second period in modern Ital-
ian literature is the revolution of
thought against the old materialism.
The figures are philosophers and psy-
chologists for whom the past no
longer exists. They are as men in the
desert, homeless, faced with the neces-
sity of starting anew. We see the
movement of Futurism which demands
the destruction of everything even
life itself, and would make of every-
thing an occasion for laughter. In

We Think

Silence

To the majority of people any form
of worship signifies a tranquil quiet
and a spirit of sincere respect for the
place where the service is held and the
service. Should not chapel mean as
much to those of us who go? To be
sure there are occasions when Chapel
is given over to entertainment but
usually such times are clearly an-
nounced.

All of us have seen the placards
which are held at the entrance of the
chapel. There is one word on these
placards Silence. Personally I doubt
whether the custom of having them
there was instituted for ornamental
purposes. Probably, they were origin-
ally intended as a reminder of the
fact that chapel is a place where
silence should reign; but now they
seem to serve mainly to increase our
chatter. Or maybe we don't notice
them at all!

There is no doubt that all of the
student body has, at one time or an-
other, gone to church. Do we enter
there giggling or laughing outright?
If we see a friend there do we hail
her and rush madly to tell her the
latest gossip ? Or worse still, do we
wander blindly in with our face buried
in a letter? Assuredly not, you say!
Well, does not chapel serve as our own
little church? Should we not go
ther3 with the same awareness that
we are entering a place, primarily, of
worship ? And should we not act ac-
cordingly ?

All of us are guilty of this care-
lessness. There are no judge and jury,
however, willing to try our case. So
let us reform without a trial. Let us
try to remember that chapel is a place
of worship where silence should pre-
dominate in the audience.

Alumnae News

The members of the Atlanta Agnes
Scott Club were entertained Tuesday,
October 21, in the Alumnae House as
guests of Dr. McCain. During the
brief business meeting numerous plans
were made for a bazaar to be held in
the Alumnae House on November 7.
(This will offer a splendid opportunity
for buying perfectly beautiful Christ-
mas presents for the roommate or the
folks at home). Following the busi-
ness session Miss Christie gave a de-
lightfully entertaining talk on her trip
this summer through Scotland. The
meeting was closed with an enjoyable
social hour.

Betsey Bennet, ex-'30, was married
recently to Mr. John Van Meter
Woodford, of Paris, Ky.

Miss Lily Latrop, who attended the
Agnes Scott Institute, has returned
from Korea and is spending ten days
in the Alumnae House.

Sarah Mae Love's mother, who was
Louise Inglis of the Institute, spent
the week-end here and spoke at the
meeting of the Granddaughters' Club
on Monday afternoon, October 24.

Pauline Willoughby, '30, has moved
to 1308 North 25th Street, Birming-
ham, Ala.

Virginia Miller, '28, was married re-
cently to Mr. Emerson Johnson, of
Monterey, Va.

To most people, the idea of library
I work suggests only one thing, presid-
ing over a library, keeping the card
catalogue, checking in and checking
out books. However, this is a large
and very intricate vocation that has
been but lately recognized as such.
Due to this new popularity of library
work, it is one of the two fields open
for women that is not yet crowded.

A most interesting department in a
modern library is that for children. It
is the duty of the librarian in charge
of this division to tell the boys and
girls stories, teach them how to use
reference books, and, most important
of all, direct their reading during the
formative years of life.

Another specialization in this field
is that of a reference librarian. It is
her duty to look up all the references
pertaining to those certain subjects
which people bring to her to find ma-
terial about.

A most important phase of library
work is that available through the
County Library System. Although
good roads, rural free delivery, auto-
mobiles, telephones, and radios have
done much to lessen the isolation of
farm life, there still remains the lack
of educational and recreational agen-
cies to be had in more thickly popu-
lated localities. Through books and
periodicals the outside world may be
brought to the entire family in the
country.

The County Library System used in
most of the two hundred counties,
where this kind of work is done, is
patterned after the law passed in
California in 1911. Established by the
county, supported by county taxes, and
supervised by both state and county,
the County Library is under a trained
librarian and assistants with a central
office in the county. The librarian dis-
tributes books to rural branches
throughout the county. Books may be
mailed to the farmers' homes, to the
rural school-houses, or brought in a
library truck. This latter method is
very popular in communities where
there are good roads.

Not only the excellent salary, but
also the contact with the people and
the opportunity of being of real serv-
ice to them warrants this a most in-
teresting work.

That the interest of the public is
greatly concerned with library work,
is evident in the fact that soon it will
be a requirement in all A-grade high
schools to have not only a certain
number of books, but also a trained
librarian. With this in view, it might
be of interest to those considering this
type of vocation to read the additional
and more detailed information con-
tained in literature on reference in the
Y. W. Cabinet room.

Dr. Oglesby, pastor of Central
Presbyterian church, will speak next
Sunday evening on "The Full Measure
of Christ."

Giddy, old thing,

Such activity! I've been as busy as
a bee in a tar bucket this entire week,
trying to collect all the gab that's
been floating around. It nearly cost
me an ear or so, but 'twas worth it.
I can't wait to start right in and blab
it all.

But first, do let me announce this
week's winner of the silk skates for
pure balminess. The trophy goes to
Peggy White, who pranced up to Miss
Westall and Bee Miller the other day
before her botany test, and frenziedly
remarked, "Gosh, I'll bet this test is
going to be terrible! Do you all know
a thing about this darn old botany?"

Giddy, weren't those the tricky
cotillion initiations last Thursday, even
if they did pick Rudy Vallee's right?
As far as I can gather, the high
lights of the occasion proved to be
Field Shackleford in her inimitable
presentation of "Horace"; and the
celebrated team of Woltz and Hower-
ton as "Amos 'n Andy" (ain't it a
shame the poor souls can't go on the
screen because Pepsodent has removed
the film!) Oh, 1 didn't mention that
Helen Morgan, famous for her agility
at scrambling up on piano tops, enter-
tained with her prize sob-producer,
"Who Cares What You Have Been?"
and all the time she'd been tricking us
into thinking she was Betty Thompson.
Oh well, Betty and Helen have one

thing in common: they both tear up
a piano!

As for the Hallowe'en party. Wasn't
it wonderful? Scarey, et comment!
Maude Armstrong says she lost a
couple of curls over it. (Need I make
a dirty crack about her not having any
to spare ? )

Giddy, I'm dying mit laughter
(broad a)! Did you hear about the
farmer, who pattered sleepily up to
Lupton the other night, with his little
nightie tucked under his arm, looking
for all the world like "Time to Re-
tire." Don't think the man at the fill-
ing station hadn't told him he could
get a room in Lupton overnight! When
Diana came to the door and haughtily
informed the poor creature that this
was a select young ladies' institute, he
breezed out like a zephyr gone wrong!
Tsk! Tsk! Methinks there's some-
thing rotten, and it's not in my pocket!

And just about that time the bath-
tub caved in.

Adieu,

Aggie.

P. S. Can you bear this? A cer-
tain young Seminite was heard to re-
mark the other day that he had eigh-
ty-one dates with Agnes Scott girls
last year, and no two with the same
girl. That's my idea of a pathetic
figure. The poor sap who couldn't get
more than one date with any girl!

French Club

The French Club held its second
meeting of the year Monday after-
noon, October 27, in Mr. Johnson's
studio. Tea was served and after a
short social time a business meeting
was held. Plans for the year were dis-
cussed, and the newly-formed consti-
tution of the club was read. The fea-
ture event on the program was the in-
itiation of new members, after which
the club learned the well-known
French song, "Madelon."

Blackfriars

Blackfriars met last Tuesday night,
October 28. At this meeting the Play
Production class presented "On the
Mantle Shelf," which was most enjoy-
able. Miss Gooch discussed a cast for
the "Ivory Door," which will be given
the Saturday night before Thanksgiv-
ing.

Pi Alpha Phi

Pi Alpha Phi met in Miss Gooch's
studio Thursday evening. A most in-
teresting debate was held on the sub-
ject, Resolved "That Great Britain
Should Immediately Grant Dominion
Status to India." The affirmative was
upheld by Margaret Glass and Clyde
Lovejoy, the negative by Elizabeth
Lightcap and Andrewina Robinson.
Both sides were well developed,
though the decision of the judges was
in favor of the negative.

Glee Club

The Glee Club held its regular week-
ly meeting Wednesday night at 8
o'clock in Mr. JoTmson's studio. Plans
were made for the recital given an-
nually by the club just before the holi-
days. Practice was also begun on the
first Christmas carol.

It takes the Hottentots to put the
style in Society. Or perhaps I should
say it takes the Cotillion Club, the or-
ganization which has just come suc-
cessfully through two dazzling fash-
ion revues. Pretty soon they'll have us
believing that it's not where you go
that counts, but what you wear. When
this time has come, society articles
will probably run like this: "Miss
Anne Howe attended a dog fight last
Saturday and was resplendent in a
scarlet chiffon and white ermine wrap.
Her corsage was lovely white dog-
wood." Perhaps the "Aggie" is re-
miss in not devoting a section of the
society column to "what they wore,"
but as long as the borrowing custom
is so prevalent on the campus, we feel
that it would be rather unnecessary,
for no matter what the function or
who the participators, the same faith-
ful frocks are always there.

Field Shackelford spent the week-
end in Atlanta with Mrs. Samuel

THE AGONISTIC

Seniors and Sophs
Victors in Games

Both Show Great Improve-
ment and Speed.

The Seniors defeated the Juniors
last Friday with the score of 2-0. The
game was an improvement over some
of the preceeding games, but there
was no spectacular playing done. The
ball was played near the fifty-yard
lines, only occasionally reaching the
striking circles. The Seniors managed
to rush the ball into the goal twice,
thereby winning from the Juniors.

The Freshman-Sophomore game,
played last Friday went to the Soph-
omores with the score 3-0. The game
was a fast one with frequent short
passes, which only too often for the
Freshman happiness were broken up
by Sturtevant's left-hand lunges.
Harbison at full playing for the Fresh-
men was a substantial aid to the de-
fense clearing the ball several times as
far as the fifty-yard line. Tindall
playing at center forward for the
Freshmen did some good work, but the
Sophomores rushed the Freshman goal
just a little too often and piled up a
8 0 we against the Frosh.

Seniors Win First
Swimming Meet

The first competitive swimming
meet held last Thursday night was the
scene of some excellent work in both
swimming and diving. In the poolroom,
gaily decorated with witches, black
cats, and a real jack o'lantern in
honor of the night, the Seniors outdid
the underclassmen in these water
sports, winning the meet with a score
of 57 points. The Sophomores placed
second with 50 points, Freshmen third
with 18 points.

The first event, 40-yard dash for
speed, was won by Lingle, Sophomore,
in 25 seconds. Bonham and Worm-
hout placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively,
in 30 and 33 seconds. The strokes for
form were followed by a novelty race
which carried out the Hallowe'en idea
of the decorations. The contestants
dived in, swam to the shallow end of
the pool, bobbsd for an apple and with
it in their teeth, swam back to the
opposite end. Link proved her abil-
ity at this good old Hallowe'en sport
and swam her apple to victory.

Diving held the place of chief inter-
est in the meet. Lingle succeeded in
bringing forth murmurs of approval
from the spectators for her excellent
exhibitions in back and jack-knife.
Hudson's swan was unsurpassed and
Heath and Farr also demonstrated
some admirable dives.

The meet closed with a medley re-
lay. The first lap was covered with
the side stroke, the second the breast
stroke, while the back crawl wind-
milled its way home on the last lap.
The Sophomores succeeded in winning
this event, with the Juniors second.

The results of the form events and
dives were:

Breast stroke Thompson, Senior.

Back crawl Thompson, Senior;

LECTURER MAKES TALK IN

CHAPEL ON MODERN ITALY

(Continued from page 1)
"The constitution was a result of in-
dividual genius and not of centuries.
It was impossible, therefore, for it to
remain. All revolutions have been ef-
forts to adjust the constitution to
necessities. Fascism is not a despotic
movement, which is proven by the fact
that it changes every year. The change
is remarkable. There was a particular
movement in Italy after the war when
it found itself on the verge of Bolshev-
ism. The change in the system of
election was one of the chief causes
of trouble. Each representative came
from a certain profession of each sec-
tion so parliament was not a faithful
mirror of social life. The industrial
minority became a majority and trans-
foimed the government into a passive
tool.

"Fascism was born. It suppressed
the majority and took over the reins
of the government. It was born from
the necessity of the moment but has
proven that it is not essentially des-
potic. Mussolini is a man of the peo-
ple. He has suffered and knows all of
their struggles, problems, and aspir-
ations. There is an extraordinary
harmony between the man and the
people. This man has a right, there-
fore, to stand as the expression of the
Italian people. Everyone realizes this
fact when they have seen it.

"A foreigner, therefore, must consi-
sider Fascism not absolutely, but from
the particular point of view of the mo-
ment when it was born. Its achieve-
ments in every field show that it has
the right to be studied from the point
of view of the necessities of Italy. And
the man who represents Fascism has
a right to stand as representing the
Italians before the world."

DR. AVER ARDI SPEAKS

ON CONTEMPORARY

ITALIAN LITERATURE

(Continued from page 2)
literature Fragmentism prevails, de-
claring that there is no unity in man
and therefore only fragments are real
or desirable in art and literature.
These seem foolish ideas but they
cleared the atmosphere for a new
literature.

"The fallacy of such ideas was soon
realized by one who had been for
some time a Futurist, Giovanni Papini.
He became the great leader of the new
Florentine youth from 1900-1910, and
led them in their revolt against ma-
terialism. His was not a great liter-
ary achievement, but he was great in
bringing a new spirit into the intellec-
tual atmosphere of the times. The
center of his work was religious and
metaphysical and he suffered in the
attempt to solve the eternal guestion
of man's relations with God and the
Great Beyond.

"Representative of the psychological
chase of the movement was Pirandello
who is continually asking 'What am
I? How can I believe in myself today
when I was yesterday a different
man?' He is plunging into the fron-
tiers between the conscious and sub-
conscious. 'All this is nothing,' he
says. 'There is no world, no truth out-
side the spirit. Therefore there is not
one truth, but many, one for every
man.' The typical note in his work is
the feeling of the utter loneliness of
man.

"Pirandello shows us the soul before
a mirror, a man who sees his true self
and tries to create another. He sets
forth the eternal struggle between the

inward self and the outward attitude
necessary in society the former ever
changing, the latter, never. He has
that marvelous power of giving shape
to imaginations. His mind is filled
with psychological problems, and he
expresses them in tfye character of his
plays. " % J

"The early Italian writers were only
the substrata of what is to come.
Modern writers have learned much
from those masters, D'Annunzio, Pas-
coli, Papini and Pirandello. It is en-
couraging to see how much is being-
published today. It is the rich promise
of a rich harvest."

Alumnae Bazaar
Is Great Success

Many Attractive Gifts Are
Sold to Students.

Friday, November 7, the Atlanta
Alumnae Association held a bazaar in
the dining room and living room of the
Alumnae House. The purpose was to
raise money for the campaign, and the
bazaar was well patronized by Decatur
and Atlanta people, as well as by
members of the college community.
During the afternoon tea was served
in the tea room for the visitors.

There were seven attractive tables,
the contents of which were donated
and presided over by alumnae often
accompanied by future Hottentots!
One of the most popular was the toy
table, where dollies in diminutive knit-
ted frocks, cheerful stuffed kitties
(one, red and white, was purchased
by a Freshman) and quaint wooden
figures intrigued Hottentots, ex, pres-
ent, and future, alike. Close by, a
the miscellaneous table, there was a
variety of useful and attractive
articles to delight the heart of the
Christmas shopper: choice ranged
from tea towels, cookie boxes, and
gayly enameled egg beaters to charm-
ing Swiss prints, delicate silhouettes,
and Christmas cards.

The apron table had a most popu-
lar article in its dainty sewing aprons
of pastel shades of voile, which went
like the well known hot cakes; there
were also aprons of cretonne, of dim-
ity and of oilcloth in fact, all "the
latest" in aprons was exhibited and
extensively purchased. Another at-
tractive display was the flower table,
where ferns, potted cuttings and bas-
kets of flowers were sold. The candy
and food tables were very tempting,
for a more mouth-watering and sweet-
tooth appealing array was never wit-
nessed. Divinity, fudge, caramels,
peanut brittle, and crystallized fruits |
vied with jams, jellies, pickles, pre-
serves, breads and cookies in tempting
our appetites and pocketbooks.

Y. W. Presents

Budget for Year

Asks Co-operation of Col-
lege Community.

After chapel, Wednesday, November
5, Y. W. C. A. had charge of the
program. Diana Dyer, treasurer of
the association, gave a short talk on
the projects and committee work of
Y. W. Some very clever skits were
given by members of the Cabinet and
student body showing the ways in
which the budget is spent.

The budget for this year is $1650.00.
This seems like a large amount when
times are so hard but it must be re-
membered that there are many people
who are worse off than we and if each
one does her best it will sail over the
top even better than the campaign
did. Y. W. has never before failed
to raise the budget and they feel sure
that we will not disappoint them this
year.

There are chairmen in each dormi-
tory and solicitors on each wing. Any
amount can be pledged and it can be
paid in any way. But each student is
urged to pledge something no matter
how small the amount may be.

DR. PIERCE HOLDS CLASS

Do you have a class at ten-
thirty on Friday? If not, how
about "vagabonding" to 104 But-
trick Hall to hear Dr. H. J.
Pierce, Jr., of Brenau College?
He is to speak then on the atti-
tude of the United States toward
some international problem and
his talk is sure to be interesting
as well as informing.

Juniors Give

Tea for Frosh

Bell for Cat Is Presented to
Class.

Tuesday afternoon, November 4,
from five to six, the Juniors entertain-
ed the Freshmen with a charming tea-
dance in the gymnasium. In spite of
the unfavorable weather conditions,
almost all of the members of both
classes attended. The familiar A. P.
D. C. sign blinked a friendly welcome
from the ront of the stage, and the
orchestra played its best. Delicious
coffee and wafers were served in the
lobby.

Toward the end of the afternoon the
drum called for attention and when
everyone was grouped around the
steps, LaMyra Kane, president of the
Junior class, handed Nancy Rogers,
chairman of the Freshman stunt, a
box and said: "Nancy, the Juniors
were so glad the Freshmen won the
stunt, and they wanted to show their
appreciation in the same way. Won't
you accept this bell for the Black
Cat?" Everyone crowded around
Nancy exclaiming over the dainty,
silver bell which she held up. The
Freshmen are extremely grateful for
this gft from their sister class. After
a few more dances the Freshmen ex-
pressed their appreciation to their
hostesses and proceeded to sally forth
into the rain.

Merry-Go-Round
To Appear Here

World-Wide Carnival Comes
Saturday Night.

Looking back over your childhood
days, recalling many delightful times
spent at circuses and fairs, don't you
long to ride on a merry-go-round once
again before you die? You may do so
not once but a hundred times next
Saturday night, November 15, when
the "Merry-Go-Round" (International
or World-wide Carnival) comes to
Agnes Scott campus and holds sway in
the gym for one festive night.

The merry-go-round with "all rides
for two cents" will be a very prom-
inent feature. Imagine a ride on a
horse, or a camel, or a rooster for
the price of a stamp! To the right,
to the left all around the flying
jenny, so that, coming down to earth
after a ride, feeling wonderfully light
but a trifle giddy you may flop down
and compose yourself by eating a hot
dog at the food booths. All the ordi-
nary fair fare, red lemonade, cotton
candy, and much more will be sold for
five cents nothing over a nickel.

Since the carnival is to be world-
wide each class is coming in costume
to represent one particular country.
No admission is charged and all are
urged to come and see the gorgeous
floats presented by the different or-
ganizations on the campus and to en-
joy the folk dance conducted by Miss
Willburn. The A. P. D. C. orchestra
will be there and after your riding and
-eeing and eating are over all the
nations are joining in an informal
dance.

Be ye Chinese or Italian or African,
come to the carnival, the melting pot
of the nations, and enjoy some inter-
national fellowship and fun.

Investiture

Service Held

Miss Christie Speaks on
Adaptability.

Adaptability was the subject of the
address made by Miss Annie May
Christie, faculty member of the Senior
class, before a large assembly of stu-
dents and friends of class of '31, Sat-
urday morning, November 8, the oc-
casion being the Investiture of seven-
ty-two girls in token of their seniority.
Investiture, a ceremony of long stand-
ing and one peculiar to Agnes Scott,
was instituted, according to Dr. J. R.
McCain, as the result of the desire of
the college to testify to the confidence
placed in the Seniors and to badge
them "seekers of truth" and students
who really have been swept into the
current of realization and into a true
"thought life."

Miss Christie, in her speech, brought
to the attention of the class the neces-
sity for an individual's adapting him-
self to his surroundings in order that
he may live the complete life. "Adapt-
ability as I wish you to see it," said
the speaker, "is not conformity nor a
weak acceptance of conditions as they
are but the fitting of yourself into
your proper place through an intelli-
gent analysis of yourself and your sur-
roundings backed up by a real desire
to be a happy and useful member of
society. Such adaptability is a real
condition of achievement." Charles
Lamb was cited as an excellent ex-
ample of a thwarted life made beauti-
ful through adaptation. Miss Christie
recalled the conditions in the Lamb
household, the tragic death of the
mother and the insanity of the sister,
which necessitated Charles' giving up
college to take up uncongenial work in
a large commercial house. Here Miss
Christie emphasized the desirability of
putting one's self into his work. "Can
you see beyond the daily grind of de-
tail the end toward which you are
working? If so, your work cannot be
mere drudgery, but if it often seems
so, can you not manage in some way
to bring into it from resources within
yourself that thought and artistic in-
terest necessary to satisfaction in
work? How beautifully Charles Lamb
accomplished just that!"

"Remember," continued Miss Chris-
tie, "you will have to adapt yourself
to surroundings and the people with
whom you must live and work. What
will these people be, what will this
world of yours be to you? It will de-
pend largely upon you as to what they
will be. It doesn't matter where you
are, but it makes a great deal of dif-
ference what you are as to what you
will see in the people and things
around you. You will see what your
eye will let you see," and quoting
again, "Beauty is all around you if
you have the eye to see it, in all
groups of people, in all places." Miss
Christie then gave that famous quo-
tation of Carlyle's in which he affirms
that the ideal and the impediment are
in a person himself, part of which is
read: "Oh, thou that pinest in the im-
prisonment of the actual and criest
bitterly for a kingdom wherein to rule
and create, know this of a truth the
thing thou seekest is already with
thee, here or nowhere coulds't thou
only see."

"Henri Amiel, a French poet and
philosopher of the last century, has
said," concluded Miss Christie, "To
know, to love, to be able to accomp-
lish: that is the complete life. The
first two, knowledge and love, will
surely lead to the third, accomplish-
ment. May you all live the complete
life."

Rat Court Is

Solemn Occasion

15 Freshmen Are Brought
to Trial.

Saturday night fifteen members of
the Freshman class were judged and
sentenced by the Sophomore Commis-
sion at the annual Rat Court. The
said commission gowned in austere
black robes filed in to the gymnasium
to the funereal strains of "Freshmen
Beware." Each Freshman was brought
in blindfolded, accused by a member
of the commission and sentenced.

First to appear was Dot Cassels,
who, on account of her amazing pro-
pensity for perpetual motion, was sen-
tenced to render a dance interpretive
of motion in the library. Then Peggy
White, in view of her amorous adven-
tures aptly dramatized a true story
of one of her many affairs; while Mary
Wormhoudt, deeming herself capable
of doing something about the blank
condition of her upper extremity, gave
a strange interlude on coming down-
stairs stockingless in the Butrick Hall
elevator only to open the door in Miss
Hopkins' face. Freshman Massey ate
bluegrass and enjoyed it, at the same
time giving a terpsichorean interpre-
tation of the Kentucky Derby. Kitty
Claire Ivey was given a chance to il-
lustrate her dramatic inabilities by
mimicking six members of our worthy
faculty. Others who received sum-
mons were Freshmen C'Lena McMul-
lin, Frances Parr, Mardie Friend, Dot
Bradley, Polly Gordon, Anne Penning-
ton, Plant Ellis, Nancy Rogers,
Eleanor Hamilton and Margaret Mal-
loy.

Seniors Celebrate
Little Girl Day

Hair Ribbons and Socks Ap-
pear for Occasion.

November 7 probably meant just
another Friday to most colleges and
universities, but to Agnes Scott, it was
a date eagerly anticipated and wel-
comed. It was Little Girl Day, dedicat-
ed each year, on the day preceding In-
vestiture, to the Seniors.

Although the sleepy Freshmen,
Sophomores and Juniors yawned their
way into the dining rooms, the yawns
soon gave way to broad smiles, for a
whole company of little people were
breakfast guests. They skipped into
the room gaily singing, "School days,
dear old golden rule days," in childish
abandonment. This was followed by
the old childhood favorite, "Shoo fly,
don't bother me." The presence of so
many bright, cheerful faces and at-
tractive dolls and rattles was quite an
inspiration to the other girls.

Little Miss Clara Knox Nunnally
was among the charming group. She
was wearing a very attractive morning
frock of pink, with a white collar
around the neckline and a pink bow on
her hair. Little Miss Duke's riotous
curls were reminiscent of patient toil
with a wet brush and fingers around
which the hair was curled. The Wat-
son baby was present also, in a charm-
ing pink frock. Everyone was admir-
ing the rapid growth of the McAuliffe
child's hair and the plaits of tiny
Laura Brown. Little A. C. Hudson
was there also and expressed great
contempt at the silly questions the
girl admirers were asking, for of
course, they "wouldn't understand."

It was indeed with regret that the
girls told their little visitors goodbye.
Perhaps, however, they will come
again sometime, although now the
ginghams, sox, and gay hair-ribbons
are packed away deep in closets and
trunks. The Agnes Scott Seniors have
grown up.

Cotillion Club

Sponsors Show

Latest Fashions Modeled by
Members.

Friday, November 4, at seven p. m.,
a large audience gathered in the
gymnasium to witness a fashion show
sponsored by the Cotillion Club. Mem-
bers of the club proved themselves to
be charming mannequins when they
exhibited the latest robes de style
from J. P. Allen Co. of Atlanta.

To the newest melodies, furnished
by the A. P. D. C. orchestra, the grace-
ful and attractive young ladies parad-
ed before the audience.

First sports and street wear were
shown. The new winter shades and
materials were combined to present
very chic ensembles and suits. The
swanky models included Mart Tower,
Natilu McKenney, Mary Belle Stol-
lenwerk, Elinor Hamilton, Nina Ham-
mond, Shirley McPhaul, Frances Duke,
and Ruth Pringle.

Next the latest thing in afternoon
and tea gowns was revealed. Long
and of slender lines they were most
striking and sophisticated. The man-
nequins who modeled so charmingly
were Marian Fulk, Katherine Woltz,
Louise Lake, Martha Stigall, Mary
Boyd, Claire Ivy, Field Shakleford
and Ruth Owens.

The display of evening clothes was
greeted by the audience with sighs of
envy and pleasure. The dresses were
of lace velvet and taffeta in lovely
shades of blue, peach, black and varied
shades of green. There were also
several figured gowns. The pretty
girls who modeled these gowns were
Clde Lovejoy, Mildred Duncan, A. F.
Howerton, Lucile Heath, Elmore Bel-
lingrath, Julia Rowan, Carolyn Water-
man and Blanche Lindsey.

The entertainment was closed with
dancing in which both the audience
and mannequins joined.

Miss Alexander
Entertains Guest

Former Member of Faculty
Visits Here.

Wednesday, October 29, Miss Alex-
ander, the head of the French De-
partment, had as her guest Miss
Susanne Colton, of Korea. Miss Colton,
who was the head of the French de-
partment, left Agnes Scott in 1911 to
become the principal of a girls' school
in Korea. She is taking a year's leave
of absence and is traveling extensive-
ly. Before coming to this country she
crossed Siberia and traveled through
Europe stopping for some time in
Louraine where she visited former
school mates. She has also been visit-
ing friends and relatives in America,
including a brother who is the head of
the French department at Annapolis.

Miss Alexander entertained her
guest at a dinner Wednesday night, in-
cluding several of Miss Colton's
friends. Miss Hopkins took Miss Col-
ton to luncheon in Rebekah Scott din-
ing room at Wednesday noon.

MEN TO SPEAK IN CHAPEL

Be sure to go to chapel Fri-
day, as Dr. T. C. Carver of Har-
vard, is to speak then. And Sat-
urday, Dr. Irby Hudson, of Van-
dcrbilt, will speak in chapel. He
is also president of the Southern
Political Science Association.

DO YOU KNOW?

If the solution lay in your hands, what would you do about
the millions of unemployed? Do you know the why of unemploy-
ment?

Do you believe in Peace? How consistently do you support
your theories? Do you have an intelligent basis of facts for your
theories?

Do you know that foreign students exist who are thinking in
terms of world problems and are striving to do their small part in
solving or increasing those problems?

Do you know whom your country is electing to its guiding
body? Do your mothers, aunts, cousins, sisters do you vote?

Do you love life? Then are you aware of tremendous forces
of good and evil that are struggling in the life of nations?

It would be astounding probably and quite disappointing to
learn how few members of the college community could intelligent-
ly and conscientiously answer the questions asked above. A com-
paratively small number of students read the current magazines
and newspapers which the library affords. Few are fully aware of
the vital questions which are being discussed and the critical
periods through which many countries are passing today. It is
true that we are a part of a small community and should be inter-
ested in it, but we also belong to the complex life of the world of
1930 and as citizens of it should take an active interest in it.

The history and economics departments and the Y. W. C. A.
are making an especial effort to broaden the interests and sympa-
thies of the students by fostering an international week-end. There
will be speakers of note in chapel on Friday and Saturday and also
in some of the history and economics classes. They will present
some of the vital problems which face the world today and de-
mand a solution.

They arc also sponsoring a world-wide carnival on Saturday
night. Many foreign countries will be represented by floats and
booths. An unusual program is promised. Barn dancing will be
taught, and music is to be furnished by the now famous A. P. D.
C. orchestra. The occasion is one which will be both profitable
and entertaining.

Our fall world fellowship dinner for the benefit of others will
occur tli is week-end, so that our minds will be turned even more
forcibly towards those who need our financial aid and interests.

It would behoove each and every one of us to take advantage
<>f such opportunities as are at our door of learning what is hap-
pening in the world outside of our college cloisters. As intelligent
eollogc students we are expected to have opinions founded upon
truth and ideas concerning the problems which are facing the
world of today besides the fate of the Great Mogul diamond. Col-
lege is not an end in itself, but a means by which we prepare our-
selves for better coping with the life which will confront us sooner
or later. If we are ignorant and indifferent we cannot hope to
be fully fitted to fill our places in life.

Tells of Trip

"Vaumarcus ? " . . . Hay mattresses
and bean bag pillows double-decker
bunks and roommates from more than
a dozen countries and off to the right,
barracks for men good fun and good
food in good company at wooden tables
out-of-doors by the edge of a deep
cool wood in short camp an inter-
national camp, on a rolling hillside
overlooking a Swiss lake with a long
line of white Alps in the far distance
this and much more "Vaumarcus"
suggests. For it was at Vaumarcus
that the summer conference of the
World's Student Christian Federation
was held in August.

There were over sixty of us there
students from many nations Great
Britain, France, Germany, Czechoslo-
vakia, Finland, Hungary, Russia,
Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand,
the Netherlands, Australia, Canada,
China, and the U. S. A. The American
Y. M. C. A. was represented and so
were you there were five of us as
your delegates: two from the Far
West; one from the Southwest; one
from the Northeast and one from the
Southeast.

The set-up of the conference was in
many respects similar to our own ex-
cept that Europeans, in general, are
more philosophical. Then, too, at
Blue Ridge and other conferences here
we do not have the language problem.
All lectures, discussions, etc., at Vau-
marcus have to be given in or trans-
lated into three languages. You should
have seen us scrambling with the
"English-speaking section of benches"
when, during a French lecture, we
would find ourselves listening to a
German interpretation. And in the
discussion groups, you can imagine
what a queer sensation it gave us to
hear what we said translated into two
languages.

Naturally we had lots of fun to-
gether chatting in strange tongues,
trying to understand and be under-
stood. Everyone was friendly. We
went swimming. We hiked over hills.
We played ball. We went on a boat
excursion to the other side of the lake
and stumbled together up the crumb-
ling spiral staircase of an old Swiss
castle.

We had a good time, but of course
we did some pretty strenuous thinking
together, too. A conference which
doesn't stimulate thought is hardly
worthy of the name. We started off
with a bird's-eye view of the problems
which are confronting the various na-
tional movements. It was surprising
to see how many of them were com-
mon to all of us. . . . We thought a
great deal about the paradox of this
present world order. Much of what
was said sounded strangely similar to
the lectures and discussions of our na-
tional Y. W. C. A. convention held at
Detroit this last April. There, you
remember, we talked a lot about the
"emerging world community," about
our responsibility in the present econ-
omic order, as Christian students and
as a fellowship of students. When
Andre Philip, an enthusiastic young
Frenchman, author, professor and a
friend of Siegfired, said emphatically
one morning, "Le Lebreitier doit
etudier les problemes sociales, e'est
une necessite religieuse," I thought of
the resolution passed at Detroit by
the Student Assembly expressing our
concern for our "industrial responsibil-
ity" . . . We thought a great deal about
God. I wish you could have heard
Georg Merz from Germany as he an-
swered the question, "Why bother
about God?" And Pierre Maury, who
drove all the way out from Geneva
and back again the same night getting
home about three in the morning in
order to speak at nine, as he talked
in French about "Plow to know God."

We also worshipped together. It
was here that we found our fellowship
to be deepest. In our discussions
oftentimes the differences in our
points of view were keenly felt. In
our worship, we were one. For,
though the devotional services were
often in French or in German and
though we sang and prayed in differ-
ent tongues, we worshipped the same

Father, we pledged allegiance to the
same Lord.

The Federation phrase, "Ut Omnes
Unum Sint," that all may be one, be-
came more meaningful to each one of
us. We began to comprehend more
fully how profound are the difficulties
in the way of a really unified Christen-
dom, yet how imperative such unity
is. We found that in spite of very
real differences, in us, as well as in
our points of view, there was a deeper
spiritual unity, a unity not of "ironed
out" sameness, but unity in spite of
differences. We saw that the Feder-
ation is not just another organization
for which we raise money on our
campuses. We are the Federation, just
as much as the student movements of
Great Britain or of France, or of the
Netherlands. W. S. C. F. is potent

Miss Gooch
Discusses Speech

There is one fact that all of us have
heard at some time and have never
been able to forget. This is, that
America is the melting pot of the
world. To bring this statement into
a more intimate analogy with our
lives, we have only to eliminate the
word, America, and substitute Agnes
Scott. We know that there are many
ways in which Agnes Scott is the
melting pot of the world (represented
by students from other countries), but
the one respect we are just beginning
to acknowledge and become interested
in, is that of speech. With many lo-
calities and countries represented here,
it is but natural that our speech be-
comes more or less a jargon.

Miss Gooch, of the Spoken English
department, and fully capable of dis-
cussing peculiarities in articulation,
gives errors common to almost every-
one on the campus. The first is called
substitution and is what most people
call the dropping off of the final con-
sonant of a word. However, the phon-
etic explanation is, that in words end-
ing in "ng," we substitute the "n"
sound, made with the tip of the tongue
placed against the teeth, for the "ng"
sound, made in the back of the tongue.
We do, however, cut off the final con-
sonant in many words concluded with a
consonant other than "n," and say
"worl" for world, "an" for and, "wal"
for walk, and "tal" for talk. Another
substitution we are guilty of is the use
of short i for short e.

Next comes our old favorite, the
practice of slurring syllables. All of
us who heard Miss Gooch, last year
during Good Speech Week, imperson-
ating "The Mysterious Lady," still
remember her use of "liberry,"
"his'try," "chim'stry," "geog'phy," and
"gonner." These words are contrac-
tions which have not yet been accept-
ed as good form, although the contrac-
tions "can't" and "don't" have.

The South, says Miss Gooch, is now
suffering from an overdose of negro
nurses. Practically everyone has had
a negro mammy and from them have
come the majority of our phonetic
mistakes. They have unconsciously
taught us the use of "ah" in such
words as there, here, over, York, and
Georgia. Also, it is because of them
that there is such an absolute elision
of V in the South.

It is hard to change our habits of
speech, for speech is a learned thing,
and not easy to forget. When we
realize, however, that people are b3ing
judged more and more by this speech
of theirs, as indicative of home train-
ing, we should certainly begin to watch
what we say both phonetically and

grammatically. The explanations
given by Miss Gooch concerning cam-
pus provincialisms should help very
materially in correcting our phonetic
mistakes. For those of us who still
combine a plural and a singular word,
"those kind." use like for as if, con-
fuse good and well, and aiv guilty of
"might can," instead of the correct
form of the infinitive after the sub-
junctive, "might be able," there is
nothing like a handy rhetoric, for bad
grammar, as well as bad speech, is
provincial.

Giddy, old dear,

I've always said that if it isn't one
thing, it's forty others! And this time,
if it isn't Investiture, it's Rat Court,
to say nothing of Little Girl Day, and
the Rockefeller Foundation visitors.
Really, can you bear it? The Seniors
all tricked out in their black bon-
nets! But they weren't terribly awe-
inspiring, 'cause all the time we re-
membered what a prissy little girl
Sarah Hill was on Little Girl Day, and
how sassy that little Hudson thing
was.

And then, Rat Court. I never saw
such a shivering bunch of snivelers
except all the other Frosh who've ever
been called up. It's all right to talk
about bearing up bravely under the
strain, but, as Freshman Part remarks
feelingly, "It's different when it hap-
pens to you!" Anyway, we all sat up
and wept over Peggy White's kiss-less
love affair; and roared at Claire Ivey's
exact representation of Miss Alexan-
der inquiring, "N'est-ce pas?"

Giddy, I must admit we put on a
swell front for the Rockefeller Foun-
dation the other day, what with our
ritzy dinner and music-while-you-eat.
(Douschka insists we should have sung
"How Firm a Foundation," but I really
wouldn't pay her any mind since she
informed Miss Jackson the other day
that Christianity entered England in
54 B. G.I) But to think that the only
day we had tomatoes we couldn't make
sandwiches, on account of all the dog
we were putting on. Don't try to tell
me you'd rather be a Hottentot than
Rockefeller's only heir!

But those big-ikes paled into insig-
nificance A. B. (meaning Advent of
the Bobs). Why, the way Jean Grey
carried on over that Piatt thing was
enough to make Miss Latin Smith
walk slowly. And you could hardly
blame Bee pardon me! Miss Miller
for showing signs of excitement

over her Robert. He was certainly far
from Chile! (Don't miss that one!)

Laugh! I thought I'd die over Spivey
and the Stukes baby! The other night
while Spivey was playing nursemaid,
the child began to squawk, much to
poor Spivey's discomforture. I know
you won't believe it, but Judy Blundell
reports that Spivey stood there and
talked fast to the baby for fifteen min-
utes! Fast my eye! Everybody knows
it would take Spivey half an hour to
say, "There, there, my child!"

Oh, by the way, I strongly advise
you to join the Citizenship Club if you
really want some excitement. I hear
that they furnish entertainment free.
Last time, it took the form of an ex-
ceptionally graceful back flip, or what-
have-you, performed by Dr. Davidson
himself. (Gather 'round, girls.) This
feat is really not so difficult as you
might suppose, however. All one has
to do is tip back in one's chair, to
accidentally crash to the floor, where
one smacks one's cranial extremity,
thus causing Misses Gooch and Jack-
son to rise with one accord and assist
one to one's feet.

Tut! Tut! I guess I'd better stop
with that. Somebody might think I was
a busybody; and wouldn't that be just
too unjust?

Your well-meaning,

Aggie.

P. S. Since the Hudmons were ex-
pecting a phone call from their male
parent the other night, it was per-
fectly natural for Mary, thinking she
heard herself called to the phone, to
take up the dane'liner receiver; and in
sweet and filial excitement, to exclaim,
"Hello, papa!" Imagine her chagrin
to be greeted by utter silence! But
imagine her still more confused state,
on inquiring again, "Is that you,
papa?" to hear an amazed and dis-
gruntled masculine voice thunder over
the wire, "Good gosh, I hope not!"

The affirmative was upheld by Weesa
Chandler and Katherine Morrow, the
Negative by Katherine Woltz and
Marjorie Daniel. The decision was
again in favor of the Negative.

THE AGONISTIC

National Conference
To Be Held

Under the auspices of the National
Student Young Women's Christian As-
sociation and the National Student
Young Men's Christian Association, a
national student faculty conference
will be held at the Hotel Book-Cadillac.
Detroit, December 27-31. Young col-
lege undergraduates, both men and
women, will discuss with their college
presidents and other faculty members
many matters of college life.

Changing moral standards, social at-
titudes and responsibilities, as well as
administrative and educational ques-
tions, will have a place on the pro-
gram. The place of religion in higher
education will be a prominent topic of
other discussions. Samuel McCrae
Cavert, Norman Thomas and Reinhold
Niebuhr are on the long list of well
known speakers and leaders.

"A glance over the field of higher
education reveals that practically all
college problems fall quite naturally
into seven different groups or areas.
Seven commissions with a membership
of representative individuals have
been appointed to facilitate prelim-
inary preparations in these areas and
interchange of thought at the confer-
ence. Each Commission is suggesting
a wide range of problems for investi-
gation, so that all colleges will be sure
to find some point at which to make a
contribution. Agnes Scott has been
asked to serve on Commission VII, on
Social Attitudes and Responsibilities.
The other commissions are as follows:

Commission I The Administrative
Policy.

II The Educational System.

III The Social and Organized Life
of the Campus.

IV Morals in a Day of Relativity.

V Social Attitudes and Respons-
ibilities.

VI Student Counseling.

VII The Place of Religion in
Higher Education.

It should be stated that earnest local
study is one of the most important
phases of the conference, and that the
conference should be considered as but
an important incident in a continuous
process of growth and progress in
education through the months and
years ahead.

Twin Girls Take Civil Exam and Turn
in Identical Papers But Do
Not Cheat

Jonesboro, Ark. Two co-eds at the
Arkansas State College here, who hap-
pen to be twins, recently presented the
United States Civil Service Depart-
ment a perplexing problem, which was
ironed out only when the co-eds' pro-
fessors came to their support.

The twins, Letha and Leton Adams,
took a civil service examination.

When their papers were graded
there came back from Uncle Sam a
letter, stating that there was "obvious
evidence of copying in the examination
papers," and that the twins were bar-
red forever from again taking a civil
service examination.

The girls reported the matter to col-
lege authorities, who immediately filed
a protest with the civil service author-
ities. Their professors reported that
there was not a possible chance that
the girls had cheated.

The instructors said that the girls'
minds just naturally run in the same
channels; that as one thinks the other
thinks. In college examinations they
said the girls turn in almost identical
papers.

Therefore it was contended, Uncle
Sam shouldn't bar the twins just be-
cause they think alike.

Moral: Don't cheat unless you are
twins. The Gamecock.

Out of the Hills of Habersham and
into the dungeons of Dobbs hall a
midget auto attempts to surpass the
widely known bantam car of the day.

A regular comet for speed, this little
piece of tin can attains a maximum
speed of seventy-five miles per hour.
At least, so says "Red" Durham, own-
er. But, then he's studying to be a
doctor, so we'll excuse him.

Just like the wonderful old one-hoss
shay, this little two-passenger ma-
chine has no one weakness. It is built
very close to the ground so that in
case the entire collection of parts goes
to bits all together . . . well, you won't
fall so far. Emory Wheel.

Tech Students Lead in Earning Power

Georgia Tech students led all other
Georgia scholars in earning their ex-
penses, according to a report made
public on October 6, by William John
Cooper. Federal Commissioner of Edu-
cation.

The report showed of the $290,000
earned in 1928 by students of 14
Georgia colleges, the Georgia School
of Technology earned $120,000. Of an
enrollment of 2,177 men, 1.150 were
partly paying their way and 200 men
were entirely dependent upon their
own efforts.

Earnings for students of other
Georgia colleges were: University of
Georgia, $51,300; Emory University,
$33,000; Agnes Scott College, $15,000;
Bessie Tift, $4,200; Brenau College,

Sophs Down Seniors

The Sophomores won their fourth
successive game of the season last Fri-
day, defeating the Seniors. 2-1. The
play was rather evenly divided, render-
ing the game an exciting and uncer-
tain one.

The Sophomores gained possession
of the ball from the opening bully and
rushed it down toward their oppon-
ents' goal. But a long drive out to
Senior wing cleared the ball down into
the opposing territory. It was played
back to the Sophomores by a long
dribble by Sweets. Armstrong, keep-
ing up her pace set in preceeding
games, made two successive goals,
the second at the end of several short
passes, straight down from the bully.

In the second half the Seniors suc-
ceeded in scoring their goal. Sprinkle
(Mary) rivaled Sweets for honors
with dribbles at wing, but the Seniors
were unable to equal the second goal
of the Sophs, leaving the score 2-1
for the Sophs.

Southern Political
Scientists Meet in
Atlanta Nov. 1445

A. S. C. International Rela-
tions Club Attends Conf .

The third annual session of the
Southern Political Science Association
met in Atlanta at the Ansley Hotel,
November 14-15. This conference
brought many prominent speakers to
the city and Agnes Scott was favored
with hearing two of these, Dr. T. N.
Carver, of Harvard and Dr. Irby Hud-
son, of Vanderbilt, at the regular
chapel hour on Friday and Saturday,
respectively.

In addition, the International Rela-
tions Club sponsored a visit to the
conference Friday night to hear the
discussions on international relations.
Dr. Theodore Jack, of Emory Univer-
sity, presided at this time and the
principal speakers were Dr. R. H. Mc-
Lean, of Emory University, and Miss
Roberta Hodgson, of the Georgia
Stale Teachers' College, Athens.

Dr. McLean read a paper on "Is
Germany Going Fascist?" At the out-
set Dr. McLean said he refused to an-
swer yes or no, but that it was his
own private opinion that Germany will
not cease to be a republic. He followed
this statement with an excellent ac-
count of party activity in Germany
since the war, including a short survey
of the life of Hitler, the instigator of
much of the present ciisis, and the
election results of last September 14th.
In discussing the Fascisti program,
Dr. McLean said that on the negative
side it is "anti-everything i n Germany
at the present time." The positive
side includes: union of all Germans,
Austria included (which means trouble
with France and Czechoslovakia); can-
cellation of the peace treaty; a de-
mand for colonies for food supplies
and for a home for surplus popula-
tion; and one phase that is strictly
socialistic, such as the communaliza-
tion of all department stores, for ex-
ample. In case of a Fascist victory,
according to Dr. McLean, there would
probably be a revolution in Germany;
the republic would be abolished; some
sort of national dictatorship would be
established and complete overthrow of
her post-war treaties would result.
''All that the Fascists want is another
election," Dr. McLean continued, "but
I believe that the other parties in Ger-
many will co-operate to prevent a
Fascist victory."

Miss Hodgson gave a very humor-
ous but informational discussion on
"My Impressions of Geneva," which
was an account of the nine weeks she
spent in Geneva last summer study-
ing the work of the League and seek-
ing to find out the attitude of Euro-
peans towards the United States.

The meeting was concluded with
short discussions by Dr. Philip David-
son, of Agnes Scott, and Dr. D. W.
Knepper, of Mississippi State College
for Women.

"The Ivory Door" to
Be Presented Nov, 22

Blackfriars to Act Play By
A. A. Milne.

Saturday night, November 22,
Blackfriars will present their annual
Thanksgiving play. This is an oc-
casion welcomed both by those on
campus and friends of the club who
reside off campus. These patrons will
be more than delighted this year with
the choice of Blackfriars, A. A.
Milne's "The Ivory Door." The play
is charmingly whimsical and is cap-
able of making even the most cynical
forget himself and believe for a mo-
ment, in kings, queens, princesses,
knights, pages, heralds, witches,
fairies, magic and love. Theoretically,
however, the story illustrates the ten-
acity with which people cling to old
beliefs and superstitions, even though
they have been definitely proven false.

We should feel ourselves especially
privileged in seeing "The Ivory Door,"
for, in addition to being a very out-
standing play, it has also played for a
time on Broadway. The cast has been
most carefully selected, both as to
suitability for their roles and previous
stage experience. Polly Vaughn, who
will be remembered as belonging to
the class of '29, and as author of
"Once in a Blue Moon," will take the
part of King Perivale. The others of
the cast are:

King Hilary Penelope Brown.

Prince Perivale Jeannette Shaw.

King Perivale Polly Vaughn.

Brand Weesa Chandler.

Chancellor Mildred McCalip.

Anna Julia Thompson.

Count Rollo Catherine Happoldt.

Anton Margaret Belote.

Dr. Irby Hudson of
Vanderbilt on Senate

Saturday morning, November 15,
Irby Hudson, professor at Vanderbilt
University, spoke in chapel on the sub-
ject of the Senate. He stated that the
Senate had been very much abused
during the past few years, partly be-
cause it is judged by what the news-
papers say, and partly because those
who criticize forget that the men who
compose this body are human beings,
far from perfect. After reviewing
somewhat the history of treaty mak-
ing in the Senate by examples of out-
standing controversies from the time
of Washington to the present day, Dr.
Hudson concluded with an appeal that
we judge the actions of Senators with
unbiased feeling.

Magazine Publishes
Article By Dr. Wright

Street Railway Problem Dis-
cussed by Professor.

Dr. James M. Wright's article, "The
Fare Problem of the Atlanta Street
Railways," apeared in two install-
ments in the May and August issues of
The Journal of Land and Public Util-
ity Economics. In these articles Dr.
Wright discussed the history of the
street railways and the controversies
had concerning the fare. He disclosed
the following facts:

"The fares on the Atlanta street
railways, although at first high, were
later reduced to, and more recently
raised above, the five-cent level. In
general, the principle of the flat fare
has been adhered to and the burden
on patrons, despite its apparently un-
changing quantity, has varied with
changes of price levels, rising if prices
and money wages fell and falling as
they rose. On the investors' and man-
agement's side, several different fac-
tors influenced the fare problem. Chief
among these were maintenance of
properties, adequacy of capital funds,
the cost-earnings ratio, flat fares and
contract fares, motor car competition,
and the fiscal demands of the cities.

"Early competitive ventures in the
community resulted in a rapid multi-
plication of light railway facilities.
This was ended by a consolidation of
all lines into one system in 1902.
which, although hindered for some
time during the disturbed war period,
has brought about improvements and
raised the condition per cent to such
an extent that the physical properties
have been lauded as excellent.

"As the population of the commun-
ity grew, traffic increased and increas-
ingly expensive structures were re-
quired to handle it. As a result, larger
amounts of capital per mile of track
had to be raised and greatly increased
debt obligations resulted. The passing
of the peak of prices was, however,
followed by financial outlays which
were unprecedented in any like term
of the railway's history. In the long
run both the adequacy of capital funds
and the development of physical prop-
erties depended upon net returns from
the business, and net returns upon the
ratio of costs to earnings. Variations
in densities of traffic were largely re-
sponsible for the maladjustment of
revenues to costs. Comparing differ-
ent lines, we see that in general the
lines of higher average densities had
low operating ratios and as a conse-
quence yielded surpluses, while those
of low densities had high operating
ratios and yielded deficits, leaving a
residue insufficient to pay normal re-
turns upon the officially estimated
capital investment in the whole sys-
tem.

"W T hen fiat fare was once establish-
ed on some car lines, competition
forced its spread to the rest. One of
the chief hindrances toward their
changing this fare was the attitude of
the General Assembly of Georgia,
which vested the powers that owners
of the railways had had previously in
the Railroad Commission. The com-
pany has claimed that the five-cent
contract fares are not compensatory.
The income of the railways has also
been affected by the competition of the
motor car for traffic and by the fiscal
demands of the municipalities, es-
pecially Atlanta. Upon the whole
these two have moved an appreciable
portion of the street traffic and have
taken a portion of receipts which

Dr. Carver Speaks
At Chapel Service

Economics Is Harvard Pro-
fessor's Subject.

Dr. T. C. Carver of Harvard Uni-
versity, one of the world's greatest
economists, spoke in chapel Friday,
November 14. His talk on an indus-
trial topic was in connection with a
series made last week as Agnes Scott
was thinking of other nations.

Dr. Carver stated that the greatest
economic fact in the world today is
the change in the inventory of riches.
The pictures of wealth and luxury in
the "Arabian Nights" present a pecul-
iar type of riches from our point of
view. All the wealth of other coun-
tries and other ages with the excep-
tion of land and cattle is consumers'
goods, that is, goods designed for the
pleasure of the owner. Our wealth
today consists of Producers' goods
which enable the owner to get some-
thing that he wants. Now an inven-
tory of a man's riches would include
warehouses, tools, and engines pos-
sessions which we call capital.

Two peculiarities of producers'
goods are the fact that the owner can-
not get any benefit from them with-
out making them work for somebody
else and that he does not want them
lor himself but for what they can
procure for him. Whether they are
owned by private or public organiza-
tions they are social. That is a fact
of vast importance which is too fre-
quently overlooked. Dr. Carver cited
Henry Ford as an example by bring-
ing out the fact that every dollar
which he makes causes the country to
become many dollars richer. "The
value of a factory vanishes when peo-
ple stop buying its products and there
are no riches unless there are people
enough with riches enough to buy
products. Capital is productive and
not predatory because it enables labor
to produce more than it could with
fewer helps."

The speaker's advice to people who
wish to help others was that they
not waste too much time on charity
but that they use their money to hire
a man to make something which they
can sell. Then with the money made
by the sale they can hire the man
again. Unfortunately, however, only
one person in a thousand is capable
of doing this. "Any country which
can have two people out of a thou-
sand who can hire men to work and
pay their wages will prosper."

Posture Is Subject of
A. A, Stunt in Chapel

The Athletic Association, in an ef-
fort to improve the general posture on
the campus, presented a stunt in
chapel Tuesday showing the true
thoughts and the contrasting conver-
sation of Hottentots as they meet each
other. It was discovered that a Paris
model on a round shouldered girl can
look like so much gunney sacking. It
was also pointed out that the chin
and stomach should not attempt to get
ahead of the rest of the body, nor
should a willow-like slouch be con-
sidered grace. The great need of such
a stunt was proved by the number of
people who straightened up during the
course of the presentation.

College Community
Goes "Around the
World" in A Night

Merry-Go-P unci Enjoyable
Feature of Program.

Saturday night, November 15, the
gymnasium, decorated with the flags
of many countries and with colorful
booths arranged by different organiza-
tions, was the scene of a world carni-
val.

The Hotentots' booth was decorated
with African spears, palms and bam-
boo canes and was presided over by a
black little pickaninny (we suspect
shoe-polish in her make-up) who sold
arhletic apples and junior chocolates.
America's booth was a typical hot-dog
stand, where wieners and dopes were
sold. In contrast to this booth was
the white Alaskan booth covered with
snow and hung with icicles. The re-
freshments sold there were eskimo
pies. Pretzels and rootbeer could be
had from Germany in a stand decorat-
ed with the German flag and colors.

Surrounded by the luxury of rich
draperies, rugs and many plump pil-
lows, a veiled Persian maiden sold
ginger cakes. The Japanese had dis-
played their wares of Japanese novel-
ties among lanterns, screens and par-
asols, and nearby a trim little French
maid sold hot chocolate. The Spanish
had a colorful booth trimmed in red
and yellow.

The novel feature of the evening
was a merry-go-round, run by Check
'n' Double Check (Laura Brown and
Ruth McAuliffe) from Czechoslo-
vakia. For this one evening a nickel
could purchase two exciting rides.
Everyone shrieked with joy over it,
and most everybody fell off.

Besides the rides and booths, there
was a program featuring entertainers
from various lands. LaMyra Kane, in
plaid kilts, sang Scotch songs, and
Julia Thompson and Chopin Hudson
did the Highland Fling. Mardie Stigall
and Lucile Heath, as a Dutch boy and
girl with huge wooden shoes, gave a
cute Dutch dance. Mardie was dressed
in a blue suit with full trousers, and
Lucile wore a full, yellow skirt, tight
bodice, and a little white cap. Maude
Armstrong gave a monologue in
Chinese, and the girls of Lupton Cot-
tage, dressed in kimonas, began the
Japanese national anthem, but got
tickled and had to leave the stage be-
fore the end.

Nearly everyone at the carnival
wore costume. May Schlich, who was
a Russian, won a book as the prize.
The gym was a mass of color as the
revelers danced to the music of the
A. P. D. C. orchestra.

THE MIND'S REST HOUR

The bane of the college girl's existence, is, to our mind,
"hurrying." Because of the great number of her duties and com-
pulsory pleasures, she is eternally "dashing" from one thing to
another. As soon as one lesson is done, there is another to pre-
pare, and as soon as that is done, there is a meeting to attend. One
afternoon is filled with Lab, another with classes and another with
getting ads or keeping the library. And so the days go in haste.

Just as we live in haste so we speak and think in haste snap
judgments, hurried and unwise decisions, quick words and quicker
tempers. Because of these facts there ought to be in the schedule
of the day's work and play, some one time set aside, in which we
may gather up the loose ends of our thoughts and tie them neatly ;
in which we may make necessary decisions; in which we may think
the thoughts which we have no time for during the flying hours.

You may call this hour or period anything you like, (probably
some of you already have one) a "Trysting Time," "Moment for
Mentation/' or just plain "Mind's Rest Hour," according to your
romantic or practical bent. You may begin the day with it (if you
don't have an eight o'clock) ; you may close the day with it; or you
may insert it into any part of your routine. And then if anything
of the nature of its contents comes up at any other time, just post-
pone it until that period.

You will probably think that this scheme sounds idealistic and
sentimental and below the notice or use of the practical and
matter-of-fact college girl. But just try it! We won't guarantee
ii as a panacea for all ills, but we will wager that it will make life
much smoother, the disposition much more pleasant and the gen-
eral outlook much rosier.

So don't "go stale" from too much dashing around. It isn't
worth it. Ten years from now you won't ever know whether you
did a few of the things which seem very vital at the moment;
but you will remember whether your college career was a pleasant
and successful one; whether your pleasant disposition, arising
from a more or less peaceful mind, rendered you an adept at l
ing and keeping valuable friends.

Therefore adopt our suggestion and count that day lost in
which there is for you no "pause in the day's occupation, which is
known as the "Mind's Rest Hour."

I entered the office of the Eastman-
Scott Advertising* Company fired with
the hope of finding an easy way for
some of the Agnes Scott Seniors to
break into. the business of advertising;
but when I said as much to Miss Wynn
and inquired the advice that would be
most helpful to them, she said, "Tell
them not to do it. We want only ex-
perienced workers in this field." But
after these rather discouraging re-
marks she went on to give me some
very interesting information.

"Advertising is printed salesman-
ship, its main theme and purpose is
selling. In order to be a successful
advertiser one has to understand the
psychology of salesmanship. One of
the best ways to get such experience
j is to get a position in a store where
you can obtain the actual practice of
trying to convince people that what
you are selling them is the best on the
market. When I first entered the busi-
ness I felt that I had not had enough
experience of this kind so I took a
leave of absence and got a position in
a store as a clerk. You would be sur-
prised to know how much I found out
about women in particular, about what
they like and how they like it sold
to them.

"House to house selling though
looked down upon is very effective.
And it gives an excellent knowledge of
the field and an amazing study in psy-
chology. The Fuller Brush people are
very successful in this line." The
moral in this is to take notes on the
tactics of the Fuller Brush men.

"Another way that an ambitious
person may break into advertising is
through stenography. A girl who is
excellent at punctuation and at gram-
matical construction has a good chance
at getting a job sooner or later if she
is willing to start with a stenog-
rapher's job in an advertising office.
Spelling is also very necessary in this
field.

"An advertisement is brought out
not by an individual but by a chain of
individuals working together. The
amount of advertising done for a firm
is calculated on a percentage of pres-
ent income or an estimate of future in-
come. The kind of advertisement put
out is based upon a judgement of
where the firm in question has fallen
short of its competitors and whether
it needs local or national publicity. Ac-
tual writing of the ad is the simplest
part and what is to be said is decided
before the idea is turned over to the
writer. After he is thi'ough with the
wording of the ad it is turned over to
the copier and the cutter who get it
ready for printing. After printing it
is carried to the distribution office
where it is decided where and how the
ads are to be given out.

"There are occasionally geniuses in
this field but usually results are ob-
tained only through long plugging and
careful work."

Feature

(Reprinted from Godey's "Lady's Book
and Magazine" for Feb., 1857)
"This fast age, with its fast horses
and faster men, has brought about
that rather fashionable monstrosity,
th2 fast weman. They were a want
of the age, those fast women, or the
age would never have developed them.
Fast young men wanted something
to keep up with them, and presto! we
have the fast young woman. The gum-
elastic nature of woman supplied the
deficiency; and she, who is the pride
of earth and the incentive to heaven,
consented to lend her splendid capabili-
ties to fill up the measure of Young
America's insolent requirements, and
to become, for his convenience, the fast
woman.

"Accordingly, with dresses decollete
and bare arms, with loud-ringing
laugh and questionable wit, with polka
and Redowa, and a thousand other ac-
complishments peculiar to themselves,
attracting the blase foplings, whose
attentions that the true woman would
instinctively shun. They are up with
the times, and to the honor of Old
Virginia be it said, somewhat in ad-
vance of her daughters, these fast
young women. But, though they are
so attended, and so applauded, and so
exhilarated, there is no young fopling
in their train who has not at least
enough brains to sneer at them behind
their backs. And thus it happens
that these fast women do not marry
quite as fast as they dance. In the
hymeneal race, we find them lagging
behind; and as their speed is all gotten
up expressly for the hymeneal race, it
must be exceedingly mortifying to
them to find themselves beaten by
whole dozens of quiet, genteel girls
who never danced a polka in their
lives. It is the old fable of the hare
and the tortoise. We would advise
them not to be "quite so fast."

Gouther Breaks Into Editorial Column
of Baltimore News
One frequently hears of the general
public becoming "air-minded" or
"something-else-conscious" these days,
but even more marvelous to relate,
Baltimoreans in particular appear to
be becoming "Goucher-conscious."
Furthermore, it would seem that they
are not only aware of our existence in
their midst, but are even willing to
give us rather complimentary con-
sideration in their editorial columns.
In proof of which, read the following
excerpts from an editorial in the
Baltimore News of Saturday, October
18.

"John M. McCormack of Glasgow
and Norman Alexander Bruce Wilson
of St. Andrews, Fifeshire, are coming
to Baltimore next month to try to up-
set an old adage. At Goucher College
- they will endeavor to prove that then-
is some use in arguing with a woman.

"Their best chance lies in the pres-
j ence of impartial judges to pass on

convince the women arguing with

"The newest headdresses for eve-
ning costume include one composed of
two cordons, or small wreaths of
foliage, fixed at the back of the head
by a cluster of coral beads, a bow of
ribbon and a bow of blonde. Small
sprays of foliage, ends of ribbon, and
two small lappets of blonde droop over
the back of the neck. Another coiffure
consists of a toque of white crape,
embroidered with gold and small coral
beads. It is trimmed on one side with
two white feathers tipped with stars
in gold, and on the other with a bow
of red and gold ribbon.

"The fans of the present season are
no less elegant than those which have
preceeded them. Many of the new fans
have mother-of-pearl sticks, or sticks
carved in ivory in imitation of the
fans of the sixteenth century. Span-
gled fans are among the favorites.
The spangles are fixed upon either
black or white crape, and the effect is
sparkling, as they catch the light with
every motion of the fan.

"The flowers worn in the hair,

We Think

Webster has defined sarcasm as "a
keen or bitter taunt, with the quality
of being keenly reproachful or satiric-
ically contemptuous." Sometimes when
we are among partial strangers, we
leave bad impressions because of one
small sarcastic comment we have made.
Why not start at home, then, and re-
frain from the sarcasm that is super-
cilious, remaining silent rather than
commenting when someone's feelings
may be placed at stake? Do you, as
I, enjoy the pain that we may be caus-
ing, especially if it is unnecessary
pain? Plan now to stop, to think, be-
fore you make that remark, which
often makes "score one" for you, hurts
your friend, and for the time being, if
not permanently, lowers your will in
following Christ's example.

of flowers thus dispersed over various

THE AGONISTIC

Dear soul,

I'm still reeling from that Merry-
Go-Round Saturday night, but never
would I admit it for fear somebody
might tell me that it serves me right
for riding on it seven times for a
dime. Marty Stigall says the Carni-
val was a wonderful thing, because
it'll save her the horrible expense of
a Junior year abroad!

Didn't that rain last week just put
you down? Douschka says it was
enough to rubber the wrong way, but
Margy declares it was all a lot of
goolosh. Personally, I think they're
both all wet. Anyway, it was fine
weather for growing grass and
Freshmen ('specially Plant Ellis, if
you see what I mean). And if you
had a new raincoat like I do, you'd
pray for rain like I do. Brownie Nash
has dedicated a song to her new wet-
weather apparel entitled, "I Don't
Mind Walking in the Rain, if I'm
Walking in the Rain With You."

Can you get over all these lights
that have blossomed out on the cam-
pus lately? Upon my soul, the en-
trance to the Libe looks like the corner
of Forty-Second and Broadway! But
every light should have its dark mo-
ments, and Saxon Pope says they
aren't so satisfactory for dates. They

may show you the right way to go, but
who wants to be shown the right way
on a date?

Oh, by the way, Judy Blundell has
this week's glass golf ball for apt-
ness at entertaining dates. The other
night, when her switch (well, not
really hers, but need I trace its line-
age?) fell off in the middle of her
date, she nonchalantly picked it up
and proceeded to cause convulsions
by giving exact representations of
everybody from Colleen Moore to the
Ancient Mariner, using the switch as
hair or whiskers, as called for! I knew
such talent as she'd been wasting on
unappreciative roommates couldn't go
antirely unrecognized.

Well, I guess I'd better be on my
way, or you won't be able to recognize
me when she gets through with me!

Do pardon me while I have a
Strange Interlude,

Aggie.

Imagine Miss McKinney's surprise,
on walking around second floor But-
trick late the other afternoon, to find
Miss Latin Smith fluttering against
the door of her room like a frustrated
sparrow! Don't think she hadn't locked
herself in the one day she had for-
gotten to bring her parachute!

Clubs

Poetry Club

Poetry Club met with Kitty Reid in
Gaines Thursday night, Nov. 13, at 9
o'clock. A number of student members
were present; also, the faculty mem-
bers of the club: Miss Preston, Miss
Laney, and Miss McKinney.

Before the business period, sand-
wiches and tea were served by the
hostess. After this, the poems of
various members were read and dis-
cussed. According to the general opin-
ion, these poems were above the aver-
age from the standpoint of style and
thought. One of the best submitted
was "She Walks Alone," a clever word
portrait, by Elizabeth Moore.

Tryouts were arranged for Thurs-
day night, November 20th. Members
were asked to urge anyone interested
in writing verse to try out, as Poetry
Club offers opportunity for develop-
ment in the art of verse creation.

There was a parachute jumper
named Maxwell; he was good to the
last drop.

K. U. B. met Tuesday night, Novem-
ber 11, in the club room in Main. The
main object of this meeting was the
initiation of the members admitted
during the last tryouts. Ruth Barnett
and Elinore Halforty gave an enter-
taining bit of dialogue. Margaret
Deaver and Jean Shaw represented,
respectively, Dr. McCain and Dean
DeOvies in chapel, because of their
write-ups of Dean DeOvies' speech.
Margaret Willfong and Louella Dear-
ing proved to their audience the use-
lessness of their debate: "Resolved
that all cub reporters should wear
gloves and monocles." Barbara Hart
and Rosalind Ware, in an amusing
little skit, explained for the benefit of
those who didn't know: "What Ros-
alind will 'ware' when Bobbie steals
her 'hart' away!" Because of her ex-
cellent write-up, announcing the com-
ing of Princess Der Ling to Agnes
Scott in December, Emily Squires, as
Princess Dear Thing, gave an account
of her experiences at the Manchu
Court.

After the initiations, sandwiches
and drinks were enjoyed.

"Pardon me while I have a Strange
Interlude. What can it all mean?
Why all this mad dash to Atlanta?
Why all the best bonnets? What does
all this strange talk signify?"

All this strange talk simply signi-
fies that if we should have put a list
of the A. S. C. students who have at-
tended "The Strange Interlude" dur-
ing the last week, the society column
would probably have been quite well
filled. Undoubtedly the cast of this
play would be gratified to know of the
sensation that they have produced on
our campus. At meals it is impossi-
ble to get as far as the rice and gravy
without at least a mention of this far-
famed production. Discussion of it,
from a very intellectual viewpoint, of
course, has even crept into some of
the classrooms. A dramatic interpre-
tation of it was a decided hit at Rat
Court. In short, Agnes Scott, as a
whole, has had a Strange Interlude.
But here's how we've spent it:

Madge York and Sara Strickland
spent the week-end in Concord, Ga.,
as guests of Sara's father.

Kay Morrow spent the week-end in
Atlanta with Mary McCallie.

Tish Rockmore and Katherine Baker
spent the week-end in Newnan, Ga.,
with Nell Starr.

Sallie Betsy Mason had as her guest
last week-end Lillie Lee, of Gadsden,
Ala.

Virginia Allen attended the dance at
Garbers Saturday night.

Fannie Willis Niles spent the past
week-end at her home in Griffin, Ga.

Marlyn Tate spent the week-end in
Atlanta.

Margaret Loranz spent the week-
end in Atlanta with Sara Bare.

Jean Shaw, Dee Robinson, Jane
Clark, Reba Hicks, Floyd Foster, Olive
Weeks and Margaret Deaver attended
Mary Ben Wright's wedding last Sat-
urday.

Penelope Brown, Mary Latimer and
Laura Hoke were guests at the debu-
tantes' dance given by Carolyn Paullin
last Friday night.

Mary Upshaw Jones and Eleanor
Williams spent the week-end in At-
lanta and attended the dance at Gar-
bers Saturday night.

Marjorie and Grace Woodward
spent the week-end with their family
in College Park.

Laura Robinson was the guest of
her aunt in Covington last week-end.
Garth Gray, Frances Arnold, and
Hyta Plowden spent the week-end in
Atlanta with Mrs. H. W. Martin.

Betsy Thompson was maid of honor
in the Wright-Erwin wedding last
Saturday. Mary Ben Wright, the
bride, will be remembered as an
alumna of Agnes Scott, and as presi-
dent of Blackfriars during her Senior
year.

Gilchrist Powell spent the week-end
in Decatur with Mrs. S. H. Askew.

Alice Bullard spent the week-end
with Miss Gene Dozier in Atlanta.

Katherine and Margaret Maness'
father visited them last week.

The members of the Sophomore
Commission were entertained by the
Freshmen who were summoned to Rat
Court, at a dinner party in the Tea
House last Thursday night.

Charlotte Reid and Betty Preston
spent last Saturday night in Atlanta
with Miss Perseigner.

Lib Moore spent the week-end in
Atlanta.

Nina Hammond, A. F. Howerton
and Elizabeth Jones attended the Can-
dler Hotel dance last Saturday night.

Bobbie Hart attended the Kappa Sig
dance at Emory last Saturday night.

Johnnie Turner's family came to see
her last Sunday.

"Fuzzy" Phillips' father visited her
last week.

After the initiations there was a

which was the usual social hour.

Archery Club

The Archery Club was entertained
at tea Thursday, November 13, in
Miss Sinclair's room in Ansley. This
was the first time the members had
gathered indoors, the meetings usual-
ly being held each week on the arch-
ery range in front of Rebekah Scott.
Several important matters were
brought up and discussed. It was de-
cided to hold the fall tournament
Wednesday, November 19, and that
the Standard Columbia Round should
be shot. It was also decided that the

cup should be given only in the spring.
The tournament will end the archery
season, and the club will not meet
again until spring.

Pi Alpha Phi

Pi Alpha Phi met in Miss Gooch's
studio Thursday evening, November
13. "Dominion Status of India" was
again discussed, Anne Hopkins and
Andrewina Robinson upholding the af-
firmative side and Clyde Lovejoy and
Katherine Woltz the negative. No de-
cision was rendered.

with the president, Fanny Willis Niles,
presiding. It was decided that medals
should be given pupils who make the
highest average in Vergil in the various
high schools near Agnes Scott. At-
tention was called to our Eta Sigma
Phi charter which was framed during
the summer and which is now in the
club room. The program consisted of
a take-off of Latin words, "The Pome
of a Possum," by Ruth Hall, and a
shc.rt play, "Our First Aviators," by
Catherine Baker, Jane McLoughlin,
and Cornelia Taylor. A delightful
social hour was then enjoyed.

Robin Hood's followers will again
meet in the forest when the Archery
Club holds its annual fall tournament,
Wednesday, November 15. Besides the
regular Columbia round there will be
a William Tell contest; come see the
winner shoot her balloon. The tourna-
ment will be held at 2:10 p. m., on
the archery range in front of Re-

those from overseas are sounder in

Emory Bee Tribe Scholastieally
Inclined

What lesson can we learn from the
busy bee? Ask P. W. Fattig, curator
of the Emory museum and caretaker
of a swarm of bees which has kept its
domicile in the museum for several
years.

These bees, Mr. Fattig will tell you,
show more ambition for getting an
education than many students. One
was so eager to learn history last Fri-
day morning that he flew in J. P.
Corry's 9 o'clock history section. His
stay was short; perhaps he did not
have his schedule correctly filled out,
due to a good bit of confusion during
Freshman week. At any rate, he man-
aged to remain in class long enough
to cause a good bit of consternation
among the students.

Mr. Fattig keeps his bees in a corner
of the museum, in the Library build-
ing.

Any student will find them inter-
esting little creatures. In their hive
are a lot of cells being capped over,
containing baby bees. The swarm
started oft' with a successful spring,
but so much dry weather in the latter
part of the summer prevented them
from gathering much nectar, so it
seems as though they are trying to
make up for lost time now. They are
making progress, too; nearly all the
cells are filled with honey.

Their hive is enclosed in glass,
which makes it possible to study their
actions. Emory Wheel.

European Students Meet at Interna-
tional Conference at Holyoke College

Students and leaders of student re-
lief and self-help representing twenty-
five or more countries in both Eurpoe
1 and Asia will meet for the first time
on American soil at Mount Holyoke
College September 1, 1931, for an
eight-day conference, according to the
plans announced by Marjorie Marston,
chairman of the American Committee
, of International Student Service.

The plans for the reception of for-
! eign representatives are already under
I way. A group will arrive in August
to spend the month at various sum-
mer student camps and industrial
study groups. The conference will in-
clude a presentation of American stu-
dent life in all of its various phases,
sports, music, drama, etc.

The American Committee of Inter-
national Student Service which will
arrange for the reception of delegates
will be entirely separate from the Na-
tional Council of Christian Associa-
tions this year. The Harmon Foun-
dation has donated office space to the
committee, which will be the location
of the new head-quarters.

Projects in international student
service cover student needs in China
as well as those in parts of Europe
this year, and will require a budget of
more than $59,000.00.

A general feeling of depression
seems to be stalking the jungle ready
to swoop down on the returned
Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. The
indigo feeling does not seem to be due
to the magistrate exploration, or ru-
mors of European war, or the Amer-
ican unemployment situation. Like
Topsy, "it just growed." And it keeps
growing outside of Barnard too, from
what the novelists and playwrights
tell us.

Our oracular editorial mind con-
ceives this blueness to be an infection
by the epidemic virus of inactivity
or passivity. The panacea we sug-

gest is enthusiasm for something. If
we no longer look forward to a heaven-
ly future to guide our actions, if we
don't believe in the completely satisfy-
ing power of love, if we don't believe
in the Victorian fancy of doing good
to our neighbor in order to buy our
own peace then we must look to our-
selves to produce the anti-toxin.

Enthusiasm for some one thing has
wonderful effects. Not an enthusiasm
which sits back on its haunches but
enthusiasm which stirs us to work for
some purpose, not too far-fetched to
be attained, nor so easy of accomplish-
ment that it soon becomes worthless.
A passion for Abraham Lincoln and
all his works, or for coin-collecting, or
like that of the late Bronx insurance
agent for Chinese tapestries, one that
makes you work hard to satisfy its
claims, that makes you write letters,
and compile note-books, is the only ef-
fective w T ay we have been able to find
to work the deep blue out of one's sys-
tem.

Of course, the danger point is evi-
dent when someone asks what flower
painting, or exhaustive information on
the Indian is worth in the general
scheme of things. We really don't
know, nor do we care too much. If
we don't think with Shaw on the
superman teleology, if we find our-
selves willing to accept "futility" as
the modern answer to "Whither are
we-ajl tending?" it would be insane to
permit such an answer to paralyze our
activities. The immediate need is to
drive out the blues by working up
and satisfying an absorbing curiosity
in the ductless glands. Barnard

otherwise would have fallen to the
railways. Besides this, there was the
municipal policy of claiming as pub-
lic revenue portions of the earnings of
the utility.

"The price disturbance and the cost
behavior during the last decade raised
a presumption in favor of bringing car
fares into line with other prices. The
propriety of accepting or rejecting
this presumption as a basis for action
depended upon the "equities" of the
case. To reject it, for instance,
would seem to require proof of one or
other of two propositions: (1) that
before the price revolution the fares
had been unwarrantably high and
that maintaining them at the old
levels, while other prices were rising,
tended to correct the disparity; or (2)
that the railways were able to absorb
their increased money costs without
either increased fares or undue finan-
cial deprivation. In the rate hearings
there was much thrumming, partly by
persons not conversant with the
principles of rate-making, as if
weighty reasons for opposing any in-
crease at all were about to be di-
vulged. As seen by the commission,
these reasons were not made to ap-
pear. The Commission's stand has
been criticised as having shown a
preference for reproduction cost of
properties in establishing valuations
for rate-making. It is hardly neces-
sary here to restate contentions as to
the theory of valuation, but if the
commission's stand in that regard was
well-grounded, there was reason for
advancing the rates in 1919, 1926 and
1927."

Ping Pong

Ping pong started off with a bang
on Wednesday. November 12, with a
| stunt in chapel and a tournament in
j Inman that night. The stunt depict-
ed the ancient Chinese origin of ping
pong in the contest of two venerable
Mandarins over the hand of the
Princess, the Fairest Flower of the
Orient. Twin sprites named Ping and
Pong respectively invented the game
in order to settle the dispute, and after
the proud winner had carried off his
prize, they sang their invitation to the
school to "Play Ping Pong."

That night a tournament was con-
ducted in Inman in order to show be-
ginners how to play. The players.
Sturdy and Spivey, were soon followed
by ardent and enthusiastic ping pong-
ers. The table in Inman lobby has
proved such a success that it is ex-
pected that another table will shortly
be set up on the other side of the
campus.

Vol. XVI AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1930 No

Alumnae Return

For Week-End

Anna Young Birthday Party
Among Festivities.

This week-end is to be a most de-
lightful one for some of Agnes Scott's
graduates because it is alumnae home-
coming week-end. These days will hold
many pleasant occasions. Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock there will be an
Alumnae-Varsity basketball game in
the gym. Thanksgiving evening a
formal dinner is to be held for the
alumnae, with a dance following. Fri-
day morning they will enjoy an hour's
swim in Agnes Scott's fine pool. Sat-
urday morning classes will be opened
to visiting alumnae. The crowning
event of the week-end, however, is to
be the Anna Young Birthday Party.

The tea will be held in the alumnae
house from three to five, Friday after-
noon, November 28. Little Anne
Eagan, Anna Young's niece, will re-
ceive cards at the door. The receiving
line will include Dr. McCain, Miss
Hopkins, Miss Wilburn, the president
of the Alumnae Association, Miss
Mary Elizabeth Warren, '29, who is the
chairman of the entertainment com-
mittee of the Association; Miss
Young's sisters, Mrs. J. J. Eagan and
Mrs. Paul Brown, and Miss Young's
mother.

Miss McKinney and Miss Alexander
are to pour tea and coffee while the
girls of the Granddaughters Club will
serve dainty sandwiches and cakes.

It is expected that a large group of
local alumnae will be present, and it
to hoped that just as many visiting
graduates may attend. The members
of the faculty will also be present. As
much as the Alumnae Association
would like it, it is impossible to invite
the entire student body because of the
smallness of the Alumnae House.
However, this year, the Association is
extending a new courtesy to the stu-
dents; the presidents of the school
organizations and classes have been
asked to represent the student body.

It has become the custom of the
various clubs of the Association to
present gifts, such as linens or china,
to the Alumnae House at this time.
Also friends of the alumnae often take
this opportunity to make their pres-
ents. Undoubtedly, many beautiful
gifts will be bestowed this year.

The Agonistic greatly appreciates
this compliment from one of our own
best exchanges:

Perhaps this year The Davidsonian
has been the recipient of more ex-
changes than have ever come to the
staff of this paper in the past. There
are between thirty and forty universi-
ty, college, and prep school papers on
the mailing list, thus necessitating the
formation of a new department. This
department is enthusiastic about the
work and believes that a great deal of
benefit will accrue from these ex-
changes.

The editorial staff has released a list
of the five papers which it deems to
have been the best placed regularly
in the hands of the exchange depart-
ment during the month of October.
These are named in the order of their
excellence: The Emory Wheel, Emory
University; The Targum, Rutgers Uni-
versity; The Gettysburgian, Gettys-
burg College; The Orange and White,
University of Tennessee; The Agonis-
tic, Agnes Scott College. Of course
there were other papers worthy of
mention, but these five top the list.

Many Improvements
Are Seen on Campus

New Lights and Entrances
Are Completed.

One would believe himself to be on
Broadway's great white way when he
stands in the middle of the quadrangle
on the back campus now that the new
lights have been installed. They shine
forth every night to light the weary
traveler on his way to the library.
Nor has the circle in front of main
been neglected. Similar lights have
taken the place of the old ones fasten-
ed on the telegraph poles which, with
their wires are a thing of the past.
The chief charm about the lights is
that they go off and on as if by magic.
They, like the bells, are attached to
the maze of machinery and the big
clock in the basement of Buttrick
Hall, and only the time has to be set.
Half of the lights are dimmed at ten-
thirty while the remainder protect our
lives and property throughout the
night.

Prospero might well have waved his
wand over the mud puddle that was
the back campus and transformed it
into the greenest of lawns. Even the
snow could not daunt the hardy blades
of grass.

And last, but by no means least, the
rear entrances of Main have been re-
modeled so that they will be in keep-
ing with the rest of the quadrangle
upon which they face.

Agnes Scott has grown more digni-
fied and much more impressive, so
that old friends will hardly recognize
her when they gather to dedicate the
new Buttrick Hall.

"The Ivory Door"
Delights Many

Fall Production Shows Ef-
fort and Achievement.

Saturday evening, November 22,
Blackfriars presented their annual
Thanksgiving play. The play present-
ed was "The Ivory Door," by A. A.
Milne, a charmingly whimsical satire
on the part that legend plays in the
lives of the people of the time. In
the prologue, the young Prince Peri-
vale is asking his father, King Hilary,
about the Ivory Door, what it is and
why the people fear it. The king tells
him that his great-grandfather. King
Stephen went through the door and
was never seen again. The prince can-
not understand why someone has not
had the courage to go through the
door, and he says that some day he
will go through the door and see what
lies behind it.

In Act I Perivale has been king for
three years and during that time has
been successful in his search for the
key to the Ivory Door. Always fore-
most in his mind is the desire to go
through the door, to find out the truth
about this strange legend of his peo-
ple. However, the plans are made for
his marriage with Princess Lilia on
the following day, so he puts aside
his personal desires in preparing for
this marriage of state. His servants
tell him that all the people know how
he has met the princess sceretly and
fallen in love with her, only to find
that she is really a princess and not
a simple peasant girl. The king merely
smiles at this further indication of
the desire of the people for legend.
Of course, it would appeal to them
more to think of a secret courtship
rather than a meeting of the prince
and princess for the first time on their
wedding day. He receives the princess'
messenger, who brings as a wedding
gift a picture of his mistress a cold,
proud beauty.

Early the next morning Perivale,
despite the warnings and pleadings of
his servant, Brand, goes through the
Ivory Door. He tells Brand to sound
the alarm if he does not return in
three hours. Two hours later, he re-
enters the palace through the Great
Gate, but his soldiers do not recognize
him and will not allow him to enter
the palace. The Chancellor, the serv-
ants, the people all agree that this is
not the king, for no one ever went
through the Ivory Door and returned.
However, a test is proposed to prove
the identity of the supposed king. The
Princess Lilia arrives at the gate and
it is decided that since, according to
the legend of the people, she and the
king are lovers she will recognize him
whether he be in kingly robes or not.
Of course, she fails to recognize him
and the Chancellor announces to her
that the kind is dead. Upon learning
the circumstances of his death, the
princess follows him through the Ivory
Door.

Perivale is unable to support his as-
sertion that he is king with a demon-
stration of any of those arts in which
as a king, he was supposedly versed.
He is denied by all his servants, but
the Princess Lilia returns and an-

Mr. Archie Palmer
Speaks in Chapei

Tells of History of Student
Exchange Movement.

Saturday, November 22, at the
chapel services, Mrs. Archie Palmer,
Secretary of the Student Exchange
Bureau, spoke on "The History of the
Student Exchange Movement." In this
address, Mr. Palmer recited the de-
velopment of this student movement
from its very beginnings in the habit
of the roving students of the Middle
Ages carrying the discussion down
through history to modern times,
showing the advantages of such a sys-
tem.

Mr. Palmer, in addition to his dis-
tinction as Secretary of the Bureau,
is the husband of an alumna and
former faculty member of Agnes
Scott, who was Miss Elizabeth
Cheatham.

Geographic Treas.
Visits Campus

An unexpected but enthusiastcially
greeted visitor at the chapel last Sat-
urday was Mr. Newall Edison, the
treasurer of the National Geographi-
cal Society. This guest was brought
out from Atlanta, where he is visiting,
by Mr. J. K. Orr. At the request of
Dr. McCain, Mr. Orr introduced his
famous guest, who spoke a few words
of greeting and good wishes.

N. S. F. A. to Take
Talking Pictures

Will Be Shown at Meeting
Here in December.

Negotiatons have been started by
the National Student Federation of
America to obtain talking pictures of
the world's leading international per-
sonalities, starting with Aristide
Briand, as a part of a plan to pre-
sent a series of one-reel speeches to
college audiences in 1931. The presi-
dent of the International Confeder-
ation of Students has been asked to
make arrangements with M. Briand
for the taking of the talking film.

A theatre party has been planned
for the delegates at the Sixth Annual
Congress of N. S. F. A. at Atlanta,
Georgia, December 29 to January 2, at
which the first picture of the series
will be presented.

The plan of the N. S. F. A. has been
brought to the attention of the Uni-
versity Film Foundation, and has been
highly approved as a practical method
of promoting an intelligent student
opinion and interest in world affairs. It
will probably be financed by booking
the films for showing in various col-
leges in the country at a reasonable
fee.

To initiate the plan, it will be neces-
sary to send the talking films to the
colleges with an operator and a port-
able projection machine, as few col-
leges have talking picture equipment.

Pictures will be obtained by ar-
rangement with Student Unions which
are members of the International Con-
federation of Students, and which
have contacts with the leaders ol their
respective countries. The first series
will attempt to include leaders from
both Europe and Asia.

It is hoped that it will be possible to
record discussions between interna-
tional leaders, such as those immortal
conversations between Briand and
Stresemann at Geneva.

The plan is an enlargement upon the
news reel presentations, but it pro-
poses to obtain well-developed
speeches ten to twenty minutes in
length, on subjects of permanent inter-
national concern. Scenes illustrating
the speech material may be placed into
the pictures during the address, and
other variations used to sustain inter-
est. N. S. F. A. News Service.

Cotillion Club
Celebrates Holiday

Gives Thanksgiving Dance
for College Community.

Anybody who misses the Cotillion
Thanksgiving dance will be distinctly
out of it, both in not having anything
to ta'k about for the next six months
and in not attending the biggest and
most elaborate party of the year. It
is to be on Wednesday night, Novem-
ber 26, and from all we can hear of
the plans it will be something "extra
special" to be thankful for.

There is to be a reunion of the
class of 1930, and many Hottentots
who live in this vicinity are planning
to be here. Also because of Jie Flor-
ida game some of the girls from there
are expected.

The gym is to be all decked
out in honor of the occasion and there
are eoing to be favors, and refresh-
ments, and a real orchestra from At-
lanta. During the evening there will
be a Cotillion Lead Out, three No
Breaks, a Grand March and Figures.
The dance is of course formal, so let
your evening dresses be airing out.

Committee chairmen are as follows:

Decorations Lucille Heath.

Refreshments Kitty Woltz.

Favors A. F. Howerton.

Orchestra Sally Williams.

BE YOURSELF

In this day of wholesale production many people consider the
colleges and universities as mere gigantic factories which are fed
each year with new raw materials and turn out finished products
upon which certain characteristics are indelibly stamped. The
justice or injustice of this criticism lies with the individuals who
attend the institutions of higher education.

When many young people are placed together under similar
circumstances, their first impulse is usually to do as the crowd
does. The Freshman, upon entering college, desires to follow in
the footsteps of ''all of the best people." He or she, therefore,
tries out for everything, dissipates his efforts and interests, and
is unable to throw himself heart and soul into any one field of
endeavor It is well and good to have extracurricular activities
which supplement the regular work of the classroom, but they
should be chosen with care. Take one or two in which you are
especially interested and enjoy them thoroughly. Be yourself and
see that "the crowd" doesn't carry you into clubs which offer little
to you individually. There is no particular virtue in being able
to say that you have belonged to every club and have taken part
in every activity which is offered on the over-organized campuses
today.

The saddest lack of originality, probably, is shown in the in-
tellectual habits of the modern collegian. The earnest pursuit of
knowledge is no longer fashionable, and the person who honestly
endeavors to do more than scrape the tops of the volumes in the
library runs the risk of being considered a grind. There are
numerous people here on our own campus who would really enjoy
looking just beyond the assignments in the texts; who would use
the facilities for a broader experience in the field of study but for
the fact that they might lose some prestige which they felt that
they had. Strange though it may seem, there is a certain distinc-
tion in having acquired a taste for more worthwhile literature than
College Humor and Temple Bailey's novels.

The members of the faculty, every time papers are written
and handed in, implore the class to do more than put together bits
Of information as if they were working on jig-saw puzzles. Pro-
fessors ask that some original thinking be done on the matter
at hand. If we are not stimulating our creative faculties at college
where will we do it? Here is an opportunity for bringing out
some undiscovered part of ourselves.

Lastly, in the realm of human associations we may assert our-
selves. On every campus there are people of different temperament, |
personality, and background. Some are popular and some have |
hidden their light under a bushel. Many of us have discovered;
points of contact with those who are not shining lights, yet we
are BOl strong enough to stand up for them when they are being
criticized, to associate with them when we think that it may en- j
danger our own position. This is hardly being true to our better ;
selves or fair to the other person.

h would indeed be well if some wise counselor should, like
Polonius, show the way to the prospective college student.

"To thine own self be true
And it must follow as the night the day
Thou canst not then be false to anv man."

We Think

Why a new Fine Arts Building? Be-
yond thinking a new organ would be
"great" and a new building on that
corner of the campus would be "swell/'
the students do not feel the need of
this next step in the campaign pro-
gram. In artistic taste we are bare-
ly out of the class that adds beards to
the pictures of Queen Elizabeth in the
history books. A survey of the rooms
in any dormitory will show the stage
of interior decorating we live in. The
walls are beplastered with pennants,
posters, and streamers as if to show
any bare wall space would be consider-
ed immodesty. What few real pictures
are there are cheap reproductions of
the Victorian period of the last cen-
tury. "Galahad" is chosen, not for
any artistic merit of its own (if it has
any), but because of the sentimentality
behind it.

Our appreciation of poetry is
unique. We quote verbatim our pro-
fessors on English poetry, and we say
we like Kitty Reid's poems because
we don't understand them. And en-
trace to Agnes Scott is based on in-
telligence!

But most woefully of all are we
lacking in appreciation of music. We
have almost no opportunity during the
week to hsar fine music except in
those all too brief preludes to chapel.
On Sundays we hear religious music,
but we are usually too busy hunting
the offertory dime in the bottom of our
handbags to listen to it. If anyone
mentions classical music in a bull ses-
sion, the replies are usually to the
effect that "the 'Rosary' is simply too
beautiful" and " 'Narcissus' is just
divine." Mr. Dieckmann should feel
greatly encouraged because almost a
dozen students came to his recent reci-
tal.

Under such circumstances I feel it
my duty to warn the administration
that, in erecting the Fine Arts Build-
ing, they are using valuable space
which might be made into excellent
parking ground for the cars which are
now blocking te driveways.

The Book Shelf A Princess of the

Manchu Court

What do you think is the aim of a
college library?

What place, in your opinion, ought
the library to hold in the daily life
of every college student ?

Should you go to the library only
when you have history work-sheets or
Psych notes to prepare?

As surely as the library is not the
place to carry on animated conversa-
tions, is it a place to do nothing but
grind ?

Grinding is all right in its time.
But when you are tired of grinding
rest yourself and do a little "brows-
ing." Maybe you have finished study-
ing your next lesson and have a few
minutes to spare before the bell rings.
Spend that time glancing through a
biography or a book of poetry deciding
whether you want to "sign it out" for
general reading. There is nothing
better than letting a good book help
you forget your worries. Try it and
see!

You will be given ample opportunity
for such experiment this year. To the
left of the main desk in the library,
there is a book shelf crowded with in-
teresting selections of new books. In-
spect these at any time you wish and
then put in the box, that is on the
main desk, a list of books that you
yourself would like to see on those
shelves. Biography, history, fiction
anything that you particularly care
for. Don't fail to do this, as the library
committee is interested in knowing the
choices of the students in the way of
general reading.

Also, watch this column each week.

We think that with all the cam-
paigns going on around here there
ought to be one to increase the at-
tendance at vesper services. For, in
our opinion, the Sunday night vesper
service is one of the most effective
ways of starting the week with a capi-
tal letter, as it were. The Y. W
sponsors this in an effort to bring
the college community together once
a week for the purpose of informal
worship and it cannot do so effectively
without co-operation. The cabinet
members have gone to a great deal
of trouble to bring to us many excel-
lent speakers who talk on subjects of
universal interest, and it is only
natural that this should be appreciat-
ed by all Hottentots. We think that
the best way of showing this apprecia-
tion would be by coming to vesper
service's every Sunday night. For sure-
ly the pleasure of listening to some
lovely music and the stimulation which
an interesting speaker gives to one,
is a double compensation for the short
time it takes. So let's have a cam-
paign for better attendance to the Y.
W. vesper services and see if \tfe can't
make it 100 per cent too.

May I sit here?

Hot, No. 2: Certainly!

It* yon want to read something really
fascinating do try "Two Years in the
Forbidden City," by Princess Der Ling,
the Chinese lady who is to lecture here
in December. This is an account,
most interesting in its wealth of detail,
of her life at the Manchu court as
lady-in-waiting to the Empress Dow-
ager. It is an old custom of the
Manchus to place their daughters in
the imperial court when they are still
very young; but since the father of
the Princess Der Ling wanted his
daughters to receive a thorough Euro-
pean education, he took them with him
to France while he was Chinese min-
ister there. In fact, the Empress
did not even know that the honorable
Manchu Ling had any daughters, until
the family returned to China.

Then the Princess, together with her
mother and sister, received a request
from the Empress Dowager to visit
her at her summer palace, about two
hours ride in a chair from Peking. As
their audience was set for five o'clock
in the morning, they had to leave home
at three, in order to arrive on time.
The Empress kept them waiting sev-
eral hours, but then received them
very cordially and showed them all over
the beautiful palace.

The story goes that many years ago,
when Japan was harassing China, a
tax was levied on all Chinese to raise
money for a navy to fight the enemy.
But then the ministers decided that a
palace for their Empress would be a
much more appropriate purchase than
a navy therefore the palace. And the
only ship that resulted was the famous
marble one where the Empress and
her court were wont to have tea on
summer afternoons.

Soon the Princess and her sister,
Roon Ling, became regular court
ladies of the Empress. As such they
had all sorts of duties; among them
taking care of the marvelous imperial
jewels keeping the Empress' beautiful
clothes in order, waiting on her, in-
terpreting into French or English
when there were visitors, and waking
the Empress at 5 o'clock in the morn-
ings. This last was quite a ceremony,
W which the court ladies took turns;
and it was most important to get the
ruler in good humor immediately, else
she would be cross all day.

Then the Princess goes on to tell
many other Interesting happenings
and customs. On her own birthday, for
instance, she gave, in accordance with
custom, a handsome present to the
Empress. This "Old Buddha" received
most cordially, gave Der Ling one in
r< ( urn. and ordered macaroni for din-
ner in order that the Princess might
have a long and happy life. Der Ling,
it is easy to see, was a favorite of* the
Empress.

And so the book goes on simply
(Embarras- j fascinating in its account of the little
everyday affairs at the Summer Pal-

sing silence.)

everyone look nice tonight? Hey, wake oldest and most colorful courts in the

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES

NEW ERA OF GOOD POSTURE

IS USHERED IN BY STUNT

Dodoes and slumpers are out of
style. Posters on the campus and a
stunt in chapel have ushered in the
new era of head up chin in, chest up,
back straight, and feet straight ahead.
Some humps and some slue-footed peo-
ple are still seen on the campus, but
these are the last remnants of a fad-
ing sect. The progressive person
stands straight and walks straight not
only because it is healthy but also
because her cltohes have more style.
She acquires more self-respect by
standing up and looking the world in
the eye, and by "taking thought of
herself" adds an extra fashionable
inch to her height.

In past years an annual census has
been taken of the slumpers on the
campus. The count last year was.:

84 slumpers.

12 pigeon toed.

11 bowed legs.
6 slue footed.

The year before 68 slumpers were
seen on the campus, and 25 of these
attended chapel. (Evidently slump-
ers are chapel cutters too.) There
were 24 slue-footed on the campus
that year as compared with only 6 last
year. This decrease proves how fast
the sect is dying out. Year before last

j 32 slumps were noticed in the library
in one hour, only one-thirteenth of the
time the library is open. But this was
two years ago. This year it was felt
that the number of slumpers had so
decreased that no census would be
needed. The few remaining freaks can
easily be pointed out on the campus,
and by looking in the mirror you can

I easily tell if you are one of these
exhibits. Do your shoulders look like
a gothic arch? Where is your weight
placed ? Do you look as if you wear
a bustle?

Why not "snap out of it" forever?
Straighten up right now.

Radio Is Moved

Perhaps you've stayed for an hour
or so all cramped up on those horrid
straight-backed seats in gym determ-
ined to stick it out in order to listen
to your favorite radio program. Or
maybe the only available seats were
already occupied so you perched on
the edge of the stage and drummed
your heels in time to the music, much
to the other music lovers' annoyance.
If you have, you can appreciate the
genuine pleasure of listening to a pro-
gram over the radio in its new loca-
tion the Athletic Board Room. If you
weren't among those "straight chair
sitters" you can enjoy nevertheless the
comfy rockers and bright colored pil-
lows to the strains of your favorite
violinist or jazz band. Pick up a mag-
azine while you're there and see who's
who in tennis halls cf fame or just
how it is Bobby Jones swings his club.
Come up and help the radio enjoy its
new home in the Athletic Board Room
on the second floor of the gym.

Why draw caricatures of politicians,
when in most cases photographs would
look much funnier? The Gamecock.

Hiking Is Popular

"Hip, hurray, clear the way,
Listen what the people say
As those Scott girls come tramping
along!"

This familiar strain has been heard
lately along many of the beaten paths
around Agnes Scott. Have you been
along? In case you have missed the
fun so far keep an eye on the athletic
bulletin board in Main for announce-
ments of the organized hikes. Here's
a taste of what's been going on.

The first hike was on the last day in
September, a good chance to talk over
the campaign that was just beginning.
The following Saturday night, the
campaign weiner roast was a preview
of the good times to follow on supper
hikes.

The next week the first big hike of
the season was scheduled. About 85
sang, hiked, and whistled out to Pig
'n' Whistle in the moonlight. When
we reached there, the orders were so
thick and fast that the waiter had to
kill another pig and then we exhausted
his supply for late prowlers. On Oc-
tober 23 we ventured out toward
Emory. If you went with Dot Bradley
when she took charge of the hike on
Saturday, November 8, you know what
a big time we had.

Come on our next ten-mile hike if
you really want a good time.

In the meantime, don't forget to
take your individual hikes, of course
you're going to make the hiking squad
and to do this you must have five or-
ganized, eight unorganized, and one
ten-mile hike. Don't forget to watch
the bulletin board.

ATHLETIC BOARD SPONSORS
SATURDAY RECREATION PROGRAM

The Athletic Board is sponsoring a
Saturday afternoon recreation pro-
gram. Every Saturday afternoon some
type of sport or athletics will be ar-
ranged so that those who wish may
participate. If you're absolutely bust-
ed flat, or bored to tears with shows
and you simply can't spend a gorgeous
Saturday afternoon studying, come
down to the gym and play with us.
We're planning all types of fun. Soc-
cer games, a tennis bridge game, and
perhaps a folk dancing hour. Once
you've tried it, you'll find it's much
nicer to drop in every once in a
while on Saturdays than to spend them
all in town.

Last Saturday, in co-operation with
the Community Chest's plea to save
the dimes, the Athletic Association
sponsored a Ping Pong tournament and
a plunge period. The popularity of

Life-Saving Offered

Life saving will be given this next
season and from "the signs of the
times" a large and flourishing class
should be able to do quite a bit of very
excellent work. Agnes Scott holds the
reputation of passing some of the most
efficient and capable examiners and
Senior life savers of any college in the
South and since requests for councilors
always demand that the person in
applying must have passed her Red
Cross tests the department of Physi-
cal Education is offering its course in
life saving for pleasure and utility. If
you wish your examiners and have a
position and are 20, apply for it; if
you wish to renew your membership
find out what the requirements are.
Mr. Eaton is expected to be here
again.

Classes are: Monday, Tuesday, Wed-
nesday, 3:40-4:10 and 4:10-4:40.

Polo Season Opens

Since the physical education depart-
ment has added riding to the long list
of sports, polo will probably make its
appearance soon. But do you remem-
ber, or even know, that polo is an an-
cient and honorable sport at A. S. C?
Not the polo of flashing mallets and
furious riding, but instead, the polo of
flashing arms and spectacular swim-
ming water polo. There is a lot of
splashing in that old game, and there
is also a lot of beautiful swimming
and a wonderful opportunity to "show
your speed."

Polo is not complicated and requires
no former knowledge of the rules, all
it asks is a swimmer who is interested
and alert. Of course one mustn't be
too "weighty" and sweets don't add to
wind, so some few things must be sac-
rificed.

Water polo managers:
Senior Elise Jones.
Junior Grace Fincher.
Sophomore Jule Bethea.
Freshman Dorothy Castles.

the new sport on the campus was
proved by the entries in the meet.

Margaret Massie and Elizabeth
Kump defeated the would-be aspirants
to win the coveted lolly-pops offered
to the victorious Ping Pong players.
From all the noise that rose from the
direction of the swimming pool, it was
a safe guess to say "a big time was
had by all."

A soccer game will be the recreatioi
offered this Saturday. Soccer is a com-
paratively new game to Agnes Scott
and this is a splendid time to find ou
just how much fun it really is. Don'
be bashful if you're a beginner, or i
you don't even know what the gam(
is about. If you'd like a good turn
right here on the campus without the
bother of street cars or tickets, come
to the gym at 3:30 Saturday and play
soccer.

Tennis Season Closes

The Singles Tennis Tournament is
drawing to a close after a very suc-
cessful season in spite of the deluge of-
the last ten days. The call of the
racquet brought forth quite a large
number of budding tennis stars with
the Freshman class adding real threats
to the assured positions of the old-
timers. The finals, which will be play-
ed Friday, the twenty-eighth, promises
to be a most exciting exhibition of the
"deuced" game, so even if you were
eliminated in the first round come
down to the courts near the gym and
see what you could have done with a
little more practice.

A doubles tournament will be held
in the spring when another opportun-
ity is offered you to become a ranking
tennis player with a little co-operation
from your roommate. Until the big
event, however, keep your powerful
forehand drive in action with tennis in
its sample form ping pong.

B. B. Season Begins

Winter is here and that means lots
of great things, Christmas vacations,
snow (maybe), water polo, and basket-
ball. To all those who shone at home,
this is an opportunity to come out and
polish up a bit before shining on the
court here. To those who have never
played before, this is an invitation to
join the ranks of the basketball play-
ers and expereince the thrill of drop-
ping the ball thru the basket or get-
ting the tip off from your opponent.

For real thought during play, for
quick action, and a huge amount of
fun this is the sport. If you simply
can't come out for it, you can treat
yourself to Friday night games. They
are awfully exciting to watch and all
the best people go.

But do come out for your class team.
The elite of the school do.

Basketball managers:
Senior Katherine Morrow.
Junior Betty Peeples.
Sophomore Maude Armstrong.
Freshman Betty Harbison.

Many Enjoy Riding

A most delightful branch of ath-
letics in the past season has been the
riding class. A new undertaking
of the Physical Education Department,
this has proved a very popular, and
much enjoyed sport. The riding will
continue as long as the weather per-
mits. The fee is five dollars for six
rides.

The possibility of transforming the
plot of ground just back of the tennis
courts into a miniature riding ring is
being considered. If feasible, this plan
will fuimish for beginners an oppor-
tunity to become proficient in the art
of managing a horse, before joining
the more advanced riders on the road.
This class will not be organized until
next spring.

Thanksgiving Hike Held
Tonight.

Tonight is the night of all nights
he Thanksgiving supper hike! We
have been looking forward to this ever
since last Thanksgiving and not even
a ball and chain could hold us back.
Don't let this opportunity slip by; it
is something you will always regret if
you miss the good time we're going
;o have. Get out your old camp togs
ind be ready at 5 o'clock down at the
jym and we'll set out for an evening
>f fun and frolic.

Tigers Defeat Cats

Agnes Scott's two rival hockey
earns battled for supremacy for the
ast time Friday with the score 2-1
n favor of the Tigers. Perhaps not
^o well known as teams which go
under such dignified titles as Senior,
Junior, or Freshman these teams have
battled away on each successive Fri-
day at 2:10, and have developed quite
creditable players from the raft of be-
ginners who reported at the beginning
of the season.

In fact they are quite confident of
their ability to successfully combat
with any hockey players on the cam-
pus and so offer a formal challenge to
anyone desiring to accept it to play
this Friday at 2:10. Those who desire
to accept the challenge may sign up on
the poster near the archery room or
see Miss Sinclair.

Sophs, Frosh Win

Last Thursday, after nearly two
weeks of rain, four teams ventured
out on what was once the hockey field,
but which then resembled a cross be-
tween a swimming hole and a skating
rink. First to brave the muck were
the Juniors and Sophomores. During
the first half Ellis and Spivey each
put in a goal for the Sophomores. In
the second half, however, the tables
were turned and Bowman scored once
for the Juniors before the final whistle
blew, leaving the score 2-1 for the
Sophomores. Th** line-up was as fol-
lows:

Students vs. Alumnae in
Game.

A real sure enough basketball game
will be played Thanksgiving morning
when the alumnae meets the 1929 vars-
ity. Since that day is a holiday Miss
Miller of the Biology Department of
the college will be off duty and in her
place old Bee will race and romp at
side center. Lynn Moore, an all round
favorite for jump center last year, will
play with Bee. The invincible Callie
Nash will also be here that's a fact,
ask Brownie if you don't believe it.
And Freshmen, watch Callie she is
certainly a hot shot of a forward
"Tumpsy" Flynn will play, too. Since
she used to hold down any position
we are afraid to place her in the lin-
up, although it is very probable that
she, with Virge Shaffner, of Winston-
Salem, will be alumnae guards. Last,
but not least is Miss Llewellyn Wil-
burn who will be present with, we pre-
dict the added attraction of a brilliant
orange ribbon wound round her raven
tresses. Against this formidable ar-
ray of alumnae we have equally as
athletic students who will defend the
honor of the home team.

We suggest, however, that they
swear off of Hershey bars immediately
and, incidentally eat only athletic ap-
ples between meals. Lucile Heath will
jump for the tip off and we are ex-
pecting Chopin Hudson to scurry
around and get the ball. She will pass
it to reliable May Schlich, Junior for-
ward, or to Miss Fannie Porter
Cowies, well known Sophomore. The
old dependables Jean Grey and
"Sturdy" will be right there guarding
the opposing forwards. With such a
capable line-up we feel quite sure that
our basketball reputation will remain
unblemished.

Don't forget this big event in the
gym Thursday morning at 10 p. m.

Seniors, Frosh
Victors

The last games of the season were
played on Friday afternoon. The
Freshmen beat the hitherto undefeat-
ed Sophomore team by one goal, put
in by Tindall during the second half.
The game was probably the best of
the season, for both teams were play-
ing their best and were closely match-
ed. The final score stood 1-0 for the
Freshmen. The line-up was as follows:

SPHOMORES FRESHMEN
M. Hudmon, r. w. Sehussler, r. w.

Ellis, r. i. Massie, r. i.

Loranz, g. M. Kemp, g.

The Seniors piled up a 4-0 score
against the Juniors. Grey shot two
goals and Woolfolk one during the
first half, and Hudson added the
fourth during the last period. The
line-up follows:

Tennis Finals Held

The tennis season will close with the
tennis finals to be played Friday after-
noon. The school champion in tennis
will be determined by this match. The
tennis seasons have been changed;
offering the singles tournament in the
fall season instead of spring. This has
created a great deal of interest in the
tournament especially among the
Freshmen. Some good tennis games
are expected Friday to wind up the
season fittingly.

Faculty- Varsity Contend in
Hockey.

An enthusiastic crowd assembled on
Tuesday afternoon to watch the an-
nual hockey battle between the varsity
and faculty. The latter staunch sup-
porters of the Institute as one gather-
ed from their uniforms, lined up a
strong team to face the undergraduate
representatives. The gym department
dropped their whistles to participate
in the contest. Misses Pirkle, Rainey,
Whittington and Miller (Bee) left
their laboratory for the event, Drs.
Davidson and Hayes substituted
hockey sticks for tennis rackets. But
the spectacular playing of the after-
noon was done by Dr. McCain as goal
guard. Various other well known fig-
ures were seen cavorting up and down
the field. The game was a grand finale
to the season.

Dearest Giddy.

I guess you're in for it, because I've
got lots of things to say to somebody,
and it looks as if you were going to
be the goat no butts about it. I know
it's tough, like steak, old dear, but you
always were a Jonah.

What a week! Boy! Yes, that's
the whole trouble, or at least that's
what Louise Ware thinks. The un-
fortunate maid refused a date for the
other night because the swain was un-
desirable. Then, she accepted a blind
date with great relish, for the same
night* Imagine, then, her blighted con-
dition on the fateful evening, when the
blind date proved to be none other
than the former repulsed wooer! What
did she do? Why, Giddy, don't be
so inquisitive. Curiosity's killed bet-
ter cats than you. (No offense in-
tended.)

But just wait until I tell you this
one! While we've always realized that
Betty Bolton has a spectacular effect
on the male of the species, we never
suspected that any poor man would
ever go crazy over her. But that's
just what happened to her big mo-
ment. Imagine having anybody go
nuts over you! Now is Betty's time to
issue Lesson V, on How to be a Suc-
cess with Men in Four Lessons.

Judging from the happenings of the
week, Sturdy certainly needs no male
support. Miss Sturtevant was heard
to remark the other day that she
would never marry a man before he'd

kissed her, for fear he wouldn't be
proficient enough in the art to suit
her fastidious taste. (Why couldn't
she teach him?) Well, anyway, almost
in the same breath, she expressed a
desire for a telegram, or some flow-
ers, or something! The next day,
Sturdy received a huge florist's box,
containing one dried chrysanthemum,
to which was attached a card, saying,

To Sturdy, from the Bean
with love and kisses**
**I've learned how.

Oh, yes, you've guessed it it was sent
by Mary Boyd and Kitty Woltz in a
burst of roommately exuberance. And
of course, the dried chrysanthemum
came straight from a table at the tea-
house.

I'm so excited over Thanksgiving
I'm about to bump off, what with the
dance, and the alumnae returning in
hoards! Well, you can see that I'm
not capable of writing another word.
I'll meander along and raise a song of
harvest home.

Devotedly,

Aggie.

p s. Have you heard Ellene
Winn's latest? She says that prisons
are really a means to a good end.
Why, just look at all the masterpieces

PEACHTREE AT CAIN

The regular meeting of the Agnesi
Math Club was held Tuesday night,
November 18th. The program consist-
ed of the following: "Total Solar
Eclipse," by Margaret Sanford; and
"Ursa Major and Ursa Minor," by
Sara Lou Bullock. This was an ex-
ceedingly good meeting since the dis-
cussions on astronomy proved both in-
teresting and instructive.

Bible Club

The Agnes Scott Bible Club met
Thursday night, November 20, in Mr.
Johnson's studio. Dr. Gillespie spoke
on "The Student and His Bible." He
took up the "why" and "how" of Bible
study. The program was very helpful
and it is hoped that many others who
are taking Bible will avail themselves
of this excellent opportunity. Plans
have been made for very inspiring
and varied programs for this year. At
the December meeting a Christmas
playlet will be presented.

French Club

The French Club met Monday after-
noon at 5 o'clock in Mr. Johnson's
studio. After a social hour at which
time tea was served a short business
session was held.

"Sports" was the subject for dis-
cussion. Marguerite Gerard made a
most interesting talk on this subject
and then slides picturing field games
and athletics were shown and explain-
ed by Cornelia Keeton, Eulalia Napier,
Harriet Smith, Louise Ware and
Louise Hollingsworth. The meeting
ended after a discussion of "Sports"
by Hilda McCurdy.

"AH Quiet on the Western Front" to
be Perpetuated by Student Federation

In response to a request from E. R.
Morrow, president of the National
Student Federation of America, I have
made this world-famed war epic film
available in all University Centers on
Armistice Day for the next four years.
"This picture," said Mr. Morrow," is of
prime importance to University stu-
dents. It portrays a period in world
history when the Universities were
drained of their young men. Its mov-
ing realism makes it worthy of con-
stant revival. It must not die."

Carl Laemmle, President.

You can't tell us about the fluctua-
tions in the stock market! The fluctua-
tions in society, from week to week,
are enough to make ridges on any so-
ciety editor's fingernails. The flow of
social news rises and falls like the

tion the identity of the supposed prin-
cess and decide that she, like the king,
is an evil spirit in the form of their
rulers. They refuse to believe that
anyone could go through the Ivory
Door and return for this was directly
opposed to their legend of the Ivory
Door, built up through hundreds of
years. Brand, the king's body-servant,
secretly releases the king and princess
from their bonds. However, he knew
that the people would condemn two
people and lose their king rather than
be considered "fools and cowards" as
they would certainly be considered if
anyone disproved their legend of the
Ivory Door. Perivale and Lilia, now
lovers indeed, go through the Ivory

THE AGONISTIC

Commercial Art

As a Vocation

"What can I take as a vocation?"

How many times have we heard
that question asked? Millions of
times! Yes, what can we take as a
vocation? There are different fields
many different fields: for the literary
type there is journalistic work; for the
artistically inclined there is the whole
world of commercial art; for the but
let us stop there.

What are the various fields of com-
mercial art? There are book illustra-
tion, poster and advertisement design,
window-display and costume design,
interior decoration, to say nothing of
the lesser evils of small ornamenta-
tion, such as greeting card designs,
cartoon, and small-sign lettering,
among many others.

Each of the larger fields is promis-
ing and interesting. Book illustration,
advertisement and costume designing,
are paying propositions, but not as im-
portant as the fi3ld of interior decora-
tion. The last ten years have marked
a notable development in interior dec-
oration and, while France still holds
the superiority in this art, our own
advance is perhaps more significant
than that of any other country. Now,
there are countless advantages in the
way of schools, museums, and libraries,
which are within the reach of almost
everyone.

As most of us know, good decoration
must be based on rhythm and logic.
It must have a reason for being as it
isand must be as it is for that rea-
son. Often the popular features of
house decoration are merely survivals
of earlier social conditions, and have
been preserved in obedience to that
instinct which makes people cling to
so many customs, the meaning of
which is lost. "The beauty of all such
features depends on their appropriate-
ness. " So many of us casual human
beings believe, "Why surely, we can
decorate a house. Who couldn't?" And
surely, we can decorate a house, but
how? As in many other things, so in
interior decoration, one needs train ing
to see the appropriateness of "house
features" to be able to combine them
in such a way as to effect real beauty
and charm.

If you love to "fool with furnish-
ings" and think you have real talent,
why not consider Interior Decoration?
And you who don't love such, and don't
think you have real talent along that
line, leave your houses to interior dec-
orators to play with, whether you
want a Louis Phillipps type room,
modernistic den, or just a plain ole
comfy home!

"HI have you know hie hie hie,
that I'm part of the Standard Oil Com-
pany."

"And what part are you?"
"Hie one of the tanks."

of Reichstadt at St. Helena these
words: "May my son study history,

the only true philosophy." The Par-
ley You.

Current Events Contest Announced
by the Times

The examination of the Fifth Inter-
collegiate Current Events Contest
sponsored by the New York Times
will be given on March fourth and
fifth. Its purpose is to test intelligent
acquaintance with a wide range of
news. Prizes amounting to $250 are
given in each institution, while the
New York Times medal, or plaque,
goes to every first-prize winner. The
best among the prize winners receives
an additional prize of $500. All the
prize winners, local and intercolleg-
iate, are selected by means of an ex-
amination.

The competition is limited to mem-
bers in good standing at the twenty
universities in which this contest has
been instituted. The representatives
of the competition appointed by the
institutions assume complete responsi-
bility for the examination. The ques-
tions are selected by an examination
committee chosen by the entire body
of academic representatives, local
prizes being awarded by the local
authority, the intercollegiate prize by
the executive committee to which the
local winning papers are submitted.
As this contest covers the events for
the preceding year, it is announced
early enough to give adequate time
for research. Vassar Miscellany

Students Advised to Drop Conceit

The 200,000 or more men and women
who are entering college for the first
time this fall were advised to "leave
their conceit at home," when Dr. John
M. Thomas, president of Rutgers Uni-
versity, addressed them over a nation-
wide radio hook-up.

Conceit in any society or group is
not the way to popularity," he said,
"least of all on the college campus. It
is better to keep still about one's mer-
its and achievements and better still
entirely to forget them.

"In every college one starts from
j scratch, and it is wise not to scramble
to the first row when the freshman
picture is taken. Merit, ability and
powers of leadership find their just

Phi Beta Kappa in Japan Plans First
Initiation

Phi Beta Kappa of Japan has plan-
ned for next November the first initia-
tion since its establishment there.

Among those to be initiated are a
number who have been elected to Phi
Beta Kappa in American universities
but because of their residence in Japan
have never been initiated by their
chapters in the United States. There
are sixty wearers of the key in Tokyo
and other members are scattered
throughout Japan. Emory Wheel.

Iowa Man Endows Womanless Library
A warning to all Emory library
school co-eds was sounded the other
day. If they don't get rich and retire
within the next seventy-five years
they may be out of a job and broke.

T. M. Zink, a Le Mars (Iowa) law-
yer and woman-hater, bequeathed $50,-
000 to a womanless library to be open-
ed 2005 A. D. By that time it is fig-
ured that the money will have increas-
ed to $3,000,000. No woman is ever
to be admitted to the library. No book
written by a woman is to be tolerated,
and no suggestion of femininity will
be allowed to creep into anything con-
nected with the building.

Whether the statement will be sus-
tained or not is still a surmise, but
a similar will, that of Stephen Girard.
founder of Girard college, was con-
tested and upheld by the courts in
1831. Emory Wheel.

Narrow Escape
{ Baltimore Sun)
It is reported from Cambridge that
the Harvard authorities have refused
to make exceptions to the copyrights
on various songs so that Rudy Vallee
might croon them on the radio, mak-
ing "Fair Harvard" and "Up the
Street" as popular as the Maine "Stein
Song," as Rudy is said to have prom-
ised.

Let those who are tempted to think
that Harvard is being up-stage pause
and consider. Let them ask themselves
what their first thought is when con-
fronted with any reference to the Uni-
versity of Maine. If it isn't a mental
picture of Rudy Vallee crooning and
millions of hushed damsels swooning,
then Harvard is wrong. But if it is
true that Rudy Vallee has made his
alma mater into something to hum.
Harvard is right to take no chances.

After all, the Cambridge institution
has too much to live down as things
are now. Harvard graduates are ac-
cused of extending the little finger
when holding a cup of tea, preferring
symphony concerts to football, and
writing verse in violet ink. In recent
years some pretty good football
elevens have done much to shatter
these myths. It would be a pity if,
after this slow climb to normalcy.
Harvard should be set back a decade
because Rudy Vallee made "Gridiron
King" as soothing as the Maine "Stein
Song." Converse Parley Voo.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1930

No. 9

A. S. C. to Debate
N. S. F. A- Team

Will Consider Question of
Status of India.

Tuesday evening, December 9, will
witness Agnes Scott's first intercol-
legiate debate of the year. At this
time Anne Hopkins and Andrewena
Robinson of Pi Alpha Phi will defend
the affirmative side of the que&tion:
"Resolved, that Great Britain should
immediately grant dominion status to
India" against a team from Cambridge
University, England. The English
team, under the auspices of the Na-
tional Student Federation of America,
is traveling through this country de-
bating at various schools. The mem-
bers of the team are Mr. N. C. Oat-
ridge and Mr. A. E. Holdsworth.

According to information from the
N. S. F. A. Mr. Oatridge, of Deal,
Kent, entered Fitzwellian House in
1926. There he has participated in
various activities of the house, being
prominent in athletics and dramatics
as well as debating. He is a life mem-
ber of the Committee of the Union So-
ciety, the debating society. In 1929
he took an honors degree in theology
and has just completed a year of post
graduate study. Upon his return to
England he will commence his min-
istry in the north of England.

Mr. Holdworth, of Wallhemstow
Essex, is a member of Gonville and
Cains College, having entered in 1928.
At tike fittd of his first year he received
the signal honor of being the only
Freshman elected to the Committee of
the Union Society. He is editor of his
college magazine, and also vice-presi-
dent of the Marshall Society, a Uni-
versity society for the study of social
problems. His major work is being
done in economics and modern history.

While the records of these English-
men, both at home and in their debates
in America make them formidable op-
ponents, nevertheless those who have
heard Anne and Andrewena know that
in forensic tourney they can both offer
stiff opposition. We are confident that
they will uphold the fine record made
by Agnes Scott debaters in the past.

Book Exhibit

Opens Wednesday

Many Beautiful and Rare
Volumes to Be Shown.

"There's no frigate like a book to
take us to many lands." You are in-
vited to come and plan some trips to
"many lands" at the annual book ex-
hibit this week on Wednesday, Thurs-
day and Friday. The exhibit is being
sponsored as it has in the three years
past, by a group of faculty and stu-
dents. It is to be held on the second
floor of Buttrick Hall in the front par-
lor.

Through the courtesy of Davison-
Paxon's, Rich's, and Millers' Book
Store some very beautiful and popu-
lar volumes will be on display. Among
these are illustrated editions of "Arab-
ian Nights," Anderson's "Fairy
Tales." "Alice in Wonderland,"
Heidi" and "Pinnocchio." Besides
children's books there will be modern
novels, biography and poetry. The
exhibit is in no way commercial but
purely for information and pleasure.
No books will be sold on the campus
but an excellent opportunity is afford-
ed for obtaining ideas for very lovely
Christmas gifts, or for securing some
of the choice volumes you've b:en
wishing for so long.

Remember the book exhibit, Wed-
nesday, Thursday, Friday, December
3-6, in Buttrick Hall.

Princess Der Ling
To Lecture Dec* 8

Tells of Experiences at
Manchu Court.

the

The Lecture Association presents its
second speaker of the season, Princess
Der Ling, on Monday evening, Decem-
ber 8, at 8:30 o'clock. This promises
to be one of the most interesting and
entertaining lectures on the excellent
program which the association has se-
cured for this year.

Her Imperial Highness, the Princess
Der Ling, has been educated in Japan,
France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the
United States. She has been the pupil
of Sarah Bernhardt and of Isadora
Duncan, and her talent was recognized
by hsr renowned teachers. Through
these experiences she has obtained un-
usual breadth and education.

The most interesting of her experi-
ences were those as first lady-in-wait-
ing to that eccentric lady, the Emp-
ress-Dowager of China in the days be-
fore the present republic. As her
father was prominent in the diplo-
matic service, she and her sister were
summoned to appear at the court,
where they were entrusted with many
of the manifold duties which the
Empress-Dowager demanded should
be done. It is of this that the Prin-
. ess, attired in costume, will speak in
her lecture, "My Experiences at the
Manchu Court."

The Glee Club will give its program
of Christmas carols on Sunday after-
noon, December 7th, at four o'clock in

the one this year is expected to be
even more lovely.

On December 14th the club will
sing for the Agoga class at the Bap-
tist Tabernacle and the program will
be broadcast over WSB at 9:30 a. m.
central time.

The special chorus will broadcast

Faculty Reveals
Age-Old Secrets

Open Meeting Provides
Great Entertainment.

Agnes Scott students have been
especially interested during the past
week in a unique occurrence an open
faculty meeting. Long have the facul-
ty kept secret their ideas, but Wed-
nesday night, they "let the cat out of
the bag" and showed that they, by rea-
son of their "modern-mindedness," are
as indicative as Buttrick Hall and a
successful campaign of the develop-
ment along the most modern trend of
Greater Agnes Scott.

Mr. Stukes introduced something
which should be of interest to the
various secretaries on the campus,
when he read the minutes out of a
suspiciously well-known register book!
And when mention of such things as
"Three Weeks," "Peter Rabbit,"
"Twelve Gallons of Blood," "Snappy
Stories," "Photoplay," and "College
Humor" was found among its pages,
consternation ran rampant among the
students, until Mr. Stukes explained
that these were the faculty recommen-
dations for library additions.

Dr. McCain asked for a report of
the Admission Commission, to which
Miss Alexander replied with the news
that there was no ineligible list! In
response to her plea for work of this
type, there was a discussion of a
prominent student body executive,
who, it seems, is on the very brink of
becoming an Admission Committee
case. Miss Christie, also of this com-
mittee, reported on Student-Faculty
relationships. A system of student
advisors for the faculty was suggested
and referred to the Sophomore Com-
mission for development.

Miss Torrance, representing the Lec-
ture Committee, outlined a "bigger
and better" schedule, progressively
speaking, for the next year. It in-
cludes Will Rogers, who will talk on
"English as She is Spoke," and Jack
Dempsey, who will give his personal
ideas of "How to Put the Punch in
Life." Faculty suggestions for other
lecturers were Greta Garbo, speaking
(or perhaps acting!) on "Technique,"
Ramon Navarro, Maurice Chevalier,
and Wallace Beery.

The Committee on Research, with
Miss Pirkle as spokesman, expressed
annoyance at the omission of an un-
veiling ceremony in honor of the new
lights. (Perhaps the Committee on
Research would like a holiday too!).
Dr. Robinson, working in conjunction
with the other committee members,
on the advocation of reduced term
papers keep one away from bridge and
all social functions "day in and night
out."

Dr. Sweet, reporting on campus
health, said that members of the medi-
cal staff were very much perplexed
over idleness forced upon them by the
excellent physical condition of the
student body. On the other hand, since
the faculty health was so wretched,
Dr. Sweet suggested abolition of tests.
Since the college physician's findings
are law, this plan was accepted with-
out any discussion.

As a result of the report from the
Physical Education department, the
students may soon expect intercol-
legiate football. Dr. Gillespie is man-
ager of this new activity. Dr. McCain
hard put to preserve even a semblance
of order when Miss Haynes suggested
that the faculty members pass the
swimming test before leaving college.
Dr. Davidson, in an impassioned plea
upholding the affirmative of this ques-
tion, and Dr. Wright, objecting bitter-
ly to substitution of the pool for the
ole swimming hole, were on the very

Buttrick Hall

To Be Dedicated

Eminent Speakers Will
liver Addresses.

De-

The dedication of Buttrick Hall, the
new administration building, is the
center of attraction during the week.
The exercises will be held early in the
afternoon of Friday, December 5.

Since the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools is
meeting in Atlanta, it will be our priv-
ilege to entertain some two hundred
of the delegates at luncheon in Re-
bekah Scott dining hall at one o'clock.
Two students will remain at each table
as hostesses and the remainder will
have buffet lunch in the White House.

Afternoon classes will be suspended
so that the exercises may be held im-
mediately after lunch. Short addresses
will be made in the gymnasium by Dr.
Few, ths president of Duke University,
and Dr. Dillard, a member of the Gen-
eral Education Board, through whose
generosity the new building was made
possible. At this time the keys of the
building will be formally turned over
to the trustees by the architect who
will also explain some of the symbol-
ism of the decorations on the build-
ing. A prayer of dedication will then
be rendered.

During the afternoon visitors from
all over the south may be expected to
arrive, and the members of the stu-
dent body are asked to act as host-
esses and guides that they may see the
many charming features of the cam-
pus.

Many Students Hear
Ruth Bryan Owen

Famous Congresswoman Is
Delightful Speaker.

Norman Thomas
To Speak Here

Famous Socialist Sponsored
By Citizenship Club.

Several Agnes Scott girls were
privileged to hear Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen speak last Wednesday night,
November 26th, at the Wesley Me-
morial Church on "This Business of
Being a Congresswoman."

Mrs. Owen is the daughter of the
late William Jennings Bryan and is a
eongresswoman from her district in
Florida. She visited Atlanta undsr
the auspices of the Atlanta League of
Women Voters.

In a very charming way, Mrs. Owen
told the story of her campaign for
election to Congress, the speeches she
made, the places she visited, and the
reople she met. Of more interest,
however, was a discussion of the ways
she has kept her constituency inform-
d of what she is doing for them since
her election. She makes a visit to
every community in the district once
a year; she sends the Congressional
Record to public libraries, etc. The
variety of petitions she receives from
her constituents is amazing and vary
widely in importance.

Her methods in seeking re-election
.ire unique. She described in some de-
tail a trip she gave the sixty best
young citizens from her district to
Washington last year. In the future 1 ,
if she is elected, she plans to arrange
for the trip to reach more young
neople and for a great return trip to
be more ceremonious.

From her account of her activities
we are led to believe that Mrs. Owen
takes a personal interest in the wel-
fare of her fellow-citizens and the
rime and thought she has taken on
their behalf has rendered her in-
valuable to them.

Norman Thomas, executive director
of the League for Industrial Democ-
racy and contributing editor of The
Nation, World Tomorrow and New
Leader, is unusually equipped as a
speaker on social and economic prob-
lems.

Mr. Thomas is a native of Marion,
Ohio. He is a graduate of Princeton
University (1905) and of the Union
Theological Seminary. After grad-
uation from the Union Theological
Seminary Mr. Thomas became asso-
ciate pastor of the Brick Presbyterian
Church in New York City and later,
as Director of the American Parish,
did extensive work among the immi-
grant population of the upper East
Side.

He resigned his position in the
church during the World War and
served successively as Secretary of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation, Editor of
the World Tomorrow and Associate
Editor of The Nation. He was also
in 1923 editor of the New York Leader
an interesting but short-lived at-
tempt at a labor daily newspaper not
purely propagandist in character.

In the fall of 1922 he resigned from
associate editorship of The Nation to
devote his time to the League for In-
dustrial Democracy, with headquarters
at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

In politics he is a Socialist and has
been the candidate of his party for
various offices, including the Presi-
! dency of the United States in 1928.
Mr. Thomas is one of the most force-
ful and eloquent speakers in America
on economic and international prob-
lems. He will speak in Mr. Johnson's
studio Thursday afternoon, December
4, at 4 o'clock, his subject being "A
Progressive Program for Labor Ac-
tion." All interested are cordially in-
vited to attend.

Annual Alumnae

Tea Is Held

Many Graduates Return for
Thanksgiving Season.

The annual tea for the alumnae took
place Friday afternoon from four to

ing of graduates and former students,
heads of the student organizations,
and members of the faculty. Little
Anne Eagan, Anna Young's niece, re-
ceived cards at the door. Miss Hop-
kins, Miss Wilburn, Miss Mary Eliz-
abeth Warren, '29, who is chairman of
the entertainment committee of the
association, Mrs. J. J. Eagan and Mrs.

The Book Shelf

THE BOOK EXHIBIT

We as college students should have, by this time, at least a
speaking acquaintance with books in many fields. We have skim-
med and perused enough volumes in the library to know the
titles and places on the shelves, but few of them have become a
part of us, have become true friends. Most of them furnish
enough information to enable us successfully to encounter tests,
but the material is unassimilated and no true inspiration is re-
ceived from them. That books may truly mean the most to us,
we must make them ours.

In order to foster a spirit of intimacy with books on the cam-
pus, some members of the faculty and student body are sponsor-
ing an exhibit of books which will be open on the second floor of
Buttrick Hall from nine a. m. to ten-thirty p. m. from Wednesday
through Saturday. The books have been obtained through the
courtesy of Davison-Paxon's, Rich's, Miller's Book Store, and the
Atlanta branch of the Macmillan Publishing Company.

The exhibit offers everyone an opportunity to browse around
among books of many varieties. Modern fiction and biography
will provide realism, while poetic works will appeal to the imag-
ination. Beautiful editions of children's classics such as "Arabian
Nights" and "Alice in Wonderland" may carry even the most
sophisticated of Sophomores into realms of fancy and enchant-
ment. An especial attraction is the beautiful set of books on art
Which will be placed in the Fine Arts Building which is to be erect-
ed in the near future. Only some of the art students up to this time
have been privileged to view the books. Leone Bowers Hamilton
will probably take charge of an exihbit of attractive book plates
belonging to interesting persona^v>.

The books which will make an especial appeal to students are
attractive inexpensive editions of the best poets' and authors'
works. Although the exhibit is on no commercial basis, it brings
to the attention of many the splendid books which may be obtained
tor a nominal sum. There is all the difference in the world be-
tween reading a library book which others have thumbed and mar-
red, and perusing a volume of one's own, jotting down thoughts,
and marking passages of especial interest To become truly inti-
mate with a book we must know it thoroughly and understand it.
How much easier it is to accomplish this when it is actually our
own.

The book exhibit, therefore, is offering a glimpse into the
world of books where each may adventure to his heart's content,
and find there some enrichment for his own life and that of others.

When you examine the new books
in the library this week don't fail to
notice the recent biographies of the
wives of two of England's greatest
poets. Through these works, the lives
of these two women, poets themselves,
offer startling and interesting contrast
the one, so tragic; the other, almost
ideally beautiful.

"The Life and Letters of Lady Noel
Byron," by Ethel Colbum Mayne, has
been said to give the first portrait of
Lady Byron that is either complete or
trustworthy. In this book. M' v ~
has made wholly explicable the here-
tofore baffling figure of Anne Isabelle
Milbanke, Lady Byron. The author's
clear, steady grasp of the main char-
acters and the unstressed dramatic
quality of such scenes as the last meet-
ing of Lady Byron with poor Augusta,
make the book extremely interesting
and readable.

The story which Dorothy J. Baynes
(Dormer Creston, pseud.) tells in her
book, "Andromeda in Wimpole
Street," is one of the most famous of
love stories the romance of Elizabeth
and Robert Browning. It is unfolded
following an introductory sketch of
Elizabeth's life prior to their first
meeting chiefly through the chrono-
logically arranged letters to each
other. The letters trace the story of
their love, the illness of Elizabsth, the
opposition of her domineering father,
the friends who were interested in the
secret but inevitable progress of ro-
mance up to Elizabeth's marriage and
flight with Browning to Italy. Miss
Creston has seamed up the tale of
their courtship through these letters,
here and there adding a stitch or two
of her own interpretation. The book
is written with sincere feeling for the
poetry and beauty of the love story.
Reading it, you know, for a surety,
how at least two people lived and
loved.

Besides these, on the Book Shelf
this week, there are two other ex-
ceptionally interesting biographies of
two of England's "great people" who
are contemporary with each other.

"Alas, Queen Anne" is profitable
for any student to read. It is quite
as exciting as a novel and far more
fascinating. Its historical importance
is great, for there are few books deal-
ing with Queen Anne as a living
human woman. Its author, Beatrice
C. Brown, has here synthesized the
''Good Queen Anne" of history, the
treacherous, plotting queen into a
human breathing woman, whose in-
consistencies become comprehensible
and whose actions become, if not
reasonable, at least understandable.
Open this narrative biography at ran-
dom and you will be caught by some
paragraph vividly sketching a charac-
ter or an event.

"Marlborough, the Portrait of a
Conqueror," by Donald Barr Chidsey,
is the biography of John Churchill,
duke of Marlborough, English general
and statesman, who served two kings
of England, James 2nd and William
3rd, but who served himself most of
all. The book is written with a good
deal of dramatic vigor, and you can
not read it without living in the actual
company of the hero and his contemp-
oraries.

Elizabeth Flinn
Speaks at Vespers

M Sunday night Y. W. Vespers, No-
vember 30, Tumpsy Flinn spoke about
the student pilgrimage, which she be-
longed to last summer. In developing
her theme she told about her first im-
pressions of the World Student Chris-
tian Federation, and went on to relate
how much this world movement means
to her after her experiences last sum-
mer.

Groups of students from France,
Germany, Belgium, England and
America joined together for the pil-
grimage and visited five countries in
Europe: England, France, Belgium,
Germany and Switzerland. They spent
a week in the important city of each
;*ountry, beside making many inter-
esting trips to conferences and to
Oberammergau, some of them attend-
ed the Student Conference in Eng-
land at Swannoick, which is like our
Blue Ridge Conference here in United
States.

Tumpsy said that although she got
a real thrill from seeing all of the
wonderful old towns and cathedrals,
that it was the friendships and the
opportunities which she had to under-
stand the civilization of the different
countries that gave her the biggest
thrill of all. To really get a chance
to know these French, German, Eng-
lish and Belgian men and women, to
realize that they were interested in
the same things, working for the same
ideals was truly wonderful. But, said
Tumpsy, all the understanding in the
world which these pilgrimages build
up would be useless if we here at home
do not do our part in making universal
understanding possible. There is to be
a group of books and magazines avail-
able in the library this week which
will tell us more about this World
Student Christian Federation move-
ment. Here's your chance to do some
of your bit by reading some of these
books.

u;e-old secrets

brink of furnishing an exciting
academic altercation before the as-
sembled student body.

Mr. Tart, interested in the financial
side of college life, was a veritable
prophet of "Cheer up, good times are
coming," when he announced that sev-
eral railroad companies had promised
reduced rates for the holidays.

Miss "Dick" Scandrett, in the ab-
sence of Miss Hopkins because of a
most exciting movie, presented the
student petitions. Miss "Latin" Smith
and Miss MacDougall were both called
to task because of the dissatisfaction
they were creating among the scholars
by giving an excess number of cuts.

As the result of a petition for cof-
fee in bed on Sunday morning, like
"mother used to do," Miss "History"
Smith suggested that the faculty first
make a trial test. However, upon
motion of Miss Gaylord, it was voted
to extend this home-like pleasure to

Getting someone at Agnes Scott
College on the telephone is about the
most difficult thing an outsider tries
to do. In the first place it is hard to
get a connection with even the dormi-
tory where the girl lives. We have
heard of one instance where the caller
on calling the number given by the
maid at the resident student's tele-
phone got a Greek restaurant. On
calling a second number given the
party got a grocery store in Decatur.
On the strength of this, sh? gave up
in disgust resolving never to call
Agnes Scott again.

Then we have an ever-present sad
condition in the dormitories. The tele-
phone rings and rings and rings until
someone decides that it is about her
turn fee answer it. She yells at the
top of her voice for the girl being
called thus disturbing everyone on the
hall. If the girl is not there she prob-
ably is never told of the call. No
one offers to take the message. Can't
we do something about this situation?

There are a few students who have
been worrying themselves a good bit
lately over the low intellectual and ar-
tistic plane of the common herd. One
of them, after a particularly strong
Philippic against the low brow, went
so far as to "warn" the administration
that the Fine Arts Building will be
just one more pearl on a campus thick-
ly infested with swine.

We had not realized we were so
Stupid, and are not yet fully convinced.
As for "quoting verbatim the views
of our professors," just think of Plato
and Socrates. Besides, the faculty have
been known to get off awfully good
ones, and we think the students
rather clever to remember the ped-
agogical cracks so well.

If the disillusioned author of those
heart-rending calls to culture really
feels herself among Philistines, we ad-
vise that she try to escape the sordid
atmosphere by listening to the music
at the concerts on campus rather than
by counting the heads of the audience.

E. W.

include every morning. (May the facul-
ty approve the experiment!)

The music department reported a
too great ^sameness" of college songs,
which even a proposed Screaming
Course could scarcely help, however
much of a scream such a course might
turn out to be! As a remedy for this,
Mr. Johnson, aided by Mr. Dieckmann,
Dr. Wright, and Mr. Cunningham, the
original "Harmony Four Boys," taught
the faculty a new song to pass on to
the students. Now the students will
not have to quake when any one of
the faculty looks up at the beginning
of the weekly dining-room sing. In
fact, the students will have all they
can do to keep up with the faculty in
"Two More Weeks Till Vacation!"

Giddy, old clear.

One more Thanksgiving like that
last week will put me in my grave. I
mean, all that turkey was enough to
make a body gobble which we did!
At least. Betsy Thompson seems to
have done her share, because after-
ward she had only to sit on her bed,
to make it immediately sink to the
floor beneath her! And those alumnae!
Wasn't it wonderful to see them float-
ing around again? Imagine our dis-
illusionment to find that Sara Town-
send has as little sense as of old (as
witness the permanent) and that B.
W. St owe is as little apt to run out
of conversation as ever! Oh, dear,
what is the younger generation com-
ing to? I can*t imagine what'll hap-
pen to the faculty either, considering
the way they've been cutting up late-
ly. Well, I guess we've found out that
we just can't beat them in hockey.
You should have seen that wonderful
game last week! Dr. Robinson thought
so, I know, 'cause right in the middle
of the game, he hopped out and yelled,
''Anne! (short for Analyt) Oh, Anne!
Run get your coat and come on out
and watch your papa play!" I ask
you, in the words of one of our facul-
ty, "Wasn't that just like a man?"
And laugh, I thought I'd die, when Dr.
Davidson, in a moment of excitement,
yelped at Miss Sinclair, "Good work,
Curlie, old girl!" And weren't they
honeys that night? I could really wax
eloquent on the merits of our. faculty,
but you might go and blab it all, and
then they'd get the big head, and
whar'd we be? Working harder than
ever, I've no doubt.

But did you hear about Betty Pres-
ton, who is supposed to be endowed
with a moderate amount of intelli-
gence? Well, my dear, she bought her
first cocoanut the other day, but al-
most declined at the last minute to
purchase it, "Because it's rotten," said
Betty. "Look at those three little
holes in the end!" But Brownie Nash
is not far behind. Never think Brownie
hasn't got a pet mouse which resides
in the wastebasket, and which she re-
ligiously feeds every night after
lights, because the poor thing gets
fretful! Try to tell me that Agnes
Scott mice don't know their Psych!

And weren't those Frosh elections
swell? The little tykes did themselves
proud. Ha! Douschka just had to put
in her two cents worth, to the effect
that they took the appropriate prize,
for electing Mary Wormhoudt presi-
dent!

No, don't brain me. I'm signing off
this very minute.

All my love,

Aggie.

P. S. What ho! The old kitchen is
the scene of strange doings! The ghost
of John, last year's cook in Rebekah,
has been in great evidence lately. Mrs.
Davies has had to use all her wiles
to convince the waiters that he isn't
ha'nting the new cook. Why, just the
other day, a brick, wielded by John's
hand, fell down from the ceiling, and
grazed the poor chef's head; and then
a whole bowl of perfectly good mayon-
aise curdled one night for no good
reason! I tell you, it's a strange
place!

Granddaughter Club
Organizes

The Granddaughters of A. S. C. met
to find their club greatly enlarged over
that of past years. At their first
meeting, after introducing themselves
through the names of their mothers,
the members elected Clara Knox Nun-
nally as their president. They decided
that the Granddaughters' Club should
be purely a social gathering this year
and were eager to begin making it so
with a talk by an alumna. Then Mrs.
Love, mother of Sarah May Love, a
Freshman this year, highly entertain-
ed all of those present with vivid ac-
counts of activities at Agnes Scott In-
stitute in her day. Rolling a cannon
ball down the three flights of stairs in
Main was a nightly experiment in the
art of puzzling those in authority,
without being detected. The usual
week-day amusement, aside from
studies, was derived from the rival
literary societies, while the occupation
on Sunday afternoons was to watch
the primitive Decatur-Atlanta street
car "go round the bend a laden down"
with all of the most interesting and
attentive boys in town. This was the
closest communication the former Hot-
tentots could have with any young
men, unless they were brothers, fath-
ers, or such like. (Just see how this
old world is advancing!)

The Granddaughters were invited to
serve at the Alumnae Tea on Friday,
the twenty-eighth, during the alumnae
homecoming week-end. Just before
the guests began to arrive the Grand-
daughters were photographed for the
Georgian, and then the fun began.
Aside from the usual social enjoy-
ment in such a gathering the wait-
resses found huge delight in serving
and meeting alumnae who had known
their mothers, or other members of
their families.

All of the Granddaughters are quite
enthusiastic this year, and hope to
work out some of the enticing plans
they have made. The members of the
club this year are:

Picked Team Defeats Seniors Win

Exciting Sport Black Cats, Tigers

Thanksgiving Brings

Kick 'em high! Hit 'em hard! That's
soccer as it was played Saturday
afternoon. The ball was hit, kicked,
bumped, pushed, and finally flew down
the field. Perhaps the dribbles were a
little queer and the passes were rather
awkward, but that furnished an ex-
tra laugh for the fun. The Oi Oi's
raced the Hootney Hootneys up and
down the field for a score of 2-1.

Not to be outdone by Friday night
water polo players, the Saturday
afternoon recreaters staged a game
after their Soccer. This game was
truly enlightening and was certainly
enjoyed.

For anyone down in the dumps,
broke, or who just plain crave a good
time, we prescribe a dose of Saturday
recreation for instant cure. It is the
latest thing on the campus!

The close of the first swimming sea-
son was marked by a meet Friday
night, in which the Seniors placed
first with 52 points, Juniors second
with 28, and Sophomores third with
21.

The first event was a front tandem
race, won by the Freshmen. This was
followed by the strokes for form
side stroke for intermediates, front
crawl, back crawl, and back crawl
tandem. Everyone participating in
these events did very well, and caused
great excitement among the specta-
tors.

Dives for form made up the last
part of the meet and some very
pretty exhibitions were given. First
were the standing and running front
dives for intermediates, followed by
the jack knife, back dive, swan, op-
tional and original. The original dives
were unusually clever and humorous.

After the meet there was a water
polo game between the students and
alumnae, which proved to be very ex-
citing. Both teams displayed excel-
lent brands of playing, but the stu-
dents surpassed the alumnae to win
by a score of 4-0.

During the past week the Agnes
Scott campus has been the scene of
much festivity, as Thanksgiving was
observed in the usual manner. Wed-
nesday night the dance sponsored by
the Cotillion Club attracted the cam-
pus, including the faculty, towards the
gymnasium, which was decorated with
a very original crepe paper canopy of
different colors shading from yellow
to red. It was a formal affair, with
everyone arriving in evening dress,
and an excellent orchestra from At-
lanta. Mart Tower, the president of
Cotillion, assisted by Eleanor Hamil-
ton, distributed the programs at the
door, which announced three "no
breaks" and a Cotillion Lead Out.

Thursday evening the traditional
Thanksgiving banquet was held in the
dining rooms of White House and Re-
bekah Scott. The tables were beauti-
fully decorated in autumn colors with
fruit and leaves; in the corners of the
rooms were pine trees, which added

Princess Der Ling
Renders Interesting
And Informing Talk

Slides from Her Private
Collection Add Much to
the Enjoyment.

Present Status of
Women Is Discussed

U. S. Commissioner Tells of
Recent Changes.

On Monday night a large audience
of Agnes Scott students, faculty and
friends and patrons of Atlanta and
Decatur listened to one of the most
informing and entertaining speeches
which the Lecture Association has
ever brought to Agnes Scott. Dr. Mc-
Cain introduced the speaker as one
who knew from the inside a country
which has always been most interest-
ing to Americans China. Real China
was presented to those present by the
Princess Der Ling, who was for three
years favorite lady in waiting to the
Dowager Empress of China.

The Princess spoke in costume, a
robe of yellow satin embroidered with
figures of the phoenix bird, which had
belonged to the Empress herself. The
gigantic headdress and the quaint
shoes were also once the property of
Her Royal Highness.

She began her lecture by telling
something of the life and character of
the great woman who was her subject.
The late Empress Dowager was the
only woman who has ever ruled China
in reality. She ruled the four hundred
million inhabitants of that great coun-
try for forty-eight years, through the
power of her personality and the
strength of her wits.

As a little girl she led a peifectly
naural life of the typical aristocratic
Chinese family. She was trained in
the classics and in needle work and
prepared to be a good wife and daugh-
ter-in-law. She, however, one day fell
m love with a young man who came
to see her father and the young man j
planned to ask her father for her in
marriage. But due to delay and the J
complicated system of proposing
through a thhxl party, before he could
accomplish this, the Emperor issued
invitations to a garden party to which
the daughters of the high officials of
the court were asked, in order that
the Emperor might choose for himself
what is called a secondary wife. And
she was chosen. She had to give up
her suitor and marry the emperor who
discarded his other wives and took
her for the Empress.

When she gave up her romantic
happiness, she determined to have
power and to rule China as compensa-
tion. She accomplished this through
the son which she bore to the Em-
peror, whom she disliked. The Em-
peror died from a stroke during the
exile which resulted from the Opium
War and the Empress became Regent
for her four-year-old son.

During the first part of her reign,
the Empress follow-ed a policy of isola-
tion, declining to receive the ministers
of other countries. She favored the
Boxer Movement because she thought
it would get rid of the hated foreign-
ers; however she realized her mistake
afterwards and regretted it. Her min-
isters urged her to accept the minist-
ers from foreign countries and so she
finally consented; but beforehand she
sent for the speaker and her sister.

The Princess Der Ling first came to
America at the early age of eighteen
months. Her father had been sent to
Washington on a very special mission.
During her subsequent youth, he was
an ambassador to various European
nations. She was educated by Amer-
ican, French and English governesses
and then went three years to the
Sacred Heart Convent School in
France. Her father was expecting,
the year of her graduation from here,
to be transferred to Washington and
the Princess had made her plans to
go to Vassar; but these plans were
upset by the command of the Empress
(Continued cn page 4)

On Thursday morning, December 4,
Dr. W. J. Cooper, the United States
Commissioner of Education, spoke to
the college community at the chapel
hour. He gave a summary of a speech
which he had delivered at Vanderbilt
on "Conditions Which Are Changing
the World in Which We Live."

"This subject should be particularly
interesting for college women," said
the speaker, "because the status of
women has been so greatly changed by
the coming of the factory. Mr. Bor-
sodi, in a recently published book,
would have us return to the former
condition of living that is, making
the machinery to come into the home
instead of taking people to the fac-
tory. There are, according to the same
author three kinds of factories: those
necessary for the manufacture of
home machinery and motors, those
non-essential for the manufacture of
flour and bread; and those positively
harmful for the manufacture of such
things as patent medicines.

"The factory system has changed
the status of women from that of
mere homemakers, and has divided
them up into classes: (1) The career-
ists; (2) the shoppers, women who
have succeeded in finding men with in-
r-mne^ which th?y can spend in shop-
ping; (3) the homemakers, most of
whom today live in the country; (4)
and the job-holders who live in the
city and whom the factory system has
fostered. There has been a rapid in-
crease in the last class brought about
by the higher standard of living which
makes it necessary for many families
to have two wage earners.

"There are worthy aims for the
women of classes two and three to
have in life. They should pay more
attention to the problems of citizen-
ship, so that eventually something
may be done about our obsolete phases
of government. They may pay more
attention to the important question of
child welfare and health. And they
may enter the field of amateur scholar-
ship. Something is wrong today when
people flock to prize fights, and classic
plays are unprofitable. Which is on
trial the flower of western civiliza-
tion or the school which produced us?
When you attend things at which you
and the savages are on the same level
and you do not support the higher
ones, you are placing our civilization
on trial. It is up to the women to raise
the intellectual plane of America to-
day."

Many Enjoy Debate

Last night saw the Gymnasium
again filled with loyal supporters of
the home debating team and with
spectators eager to hear that famous
English accent. The subject for de-
bate was: "Resolved, That Great Brit-
ain should immediately grant domin-
ion status to India." The Cambridge
team, Messrs. N. C. Oatridge and A.
E. Holdsworth, supported the negative
side of the question, while the Agnes
Scott team, Anne Hopkins and An-
drewina Robinson, defended the affirm-
ative. The whole debate was sincere
and interesting, and although there
was no decision the evening was quite
worth while.

Socialist Leader
Speaks Here on
Labor Problem

Norman Thomas Presents
Viewpoint of the Oppress-
ed Laborers.

Mr. Norman Thomas, of New- York
City, addressed a large number of stu-
dents, faculty members and visitors in
Mr. Johnson's studio last Thursday
afternoon at 4 o'clock on "A Progres-
sive Program for Labor Action."

For several years Mr. Thomas has
been prominent in the political and
press circles of the nation. He is the
founder of "The World Tomorrow,"
one of our leading periodicals, has
bsen the associate editor of "The Na-
tion" and is now a contributor to both
of these papers. He has served in the
capacity of a Presbyterian minister;
he has been a member of the execu-
tive committee of the American Civil
Liberties Union; he has been a candi-
date for a number of political offices,
including that of the presidency of the
United States, on the Socialist ticket;
he is the author of a number of books,
but at present his most exacting task
is the directorship of the League for
Industrial Democracy.

In the few minutes that Mr. Thomas
devoted to the discussion of a pro-
gressive program for labor action he
stated clearly the points he would ad-
vocate. "In the first place," he said,
"v.c must regaid Ttrm and wotrren as
citizens from the economic point of
view in the same way that we have
tried to regard them for the political
point of view. Furthermore, we must
rid ourselves of the insecurity of the
present economic regime; we must
abolish poverty. "Labor," he continued,
"must have its due." At present it
does not have what is its own. To Mr.
Thomas the labor union must be made
an effective instrument in any pro-
gressive program. In his closing re-
marks he placed the burden of the re-
sponsibility for labor's future on the
rising generation.

The discussion that followed his talk
was lively and interesting. Mr. Thom-
as gladly answered the questions that
were asked him.

After the informal discussion mem-
bers of the Citizenship Club served
coffee.

ican Citizenship.

Xmas Season Arrives

The spirit of Christmas which has
taken possession of Agnes Scott cam-
pus is, as the nineteenth draws near-
er, being greatly enhanced by the va-
rious Yuletide activities.

We have had two Red Candle serv-
ices and the glow of carmine tapers
and the melody of the "herald angel's
song" will linger until the white
Christmas service on the Sunday night.
Then, on Saturday the thirteenth, the
basement floor of the Science Hall will
be the scene of a Christmas tree, spon-
sored by two Freshmen groups for the
Family Welfare children and the or-
phans. Each tot will receive a stock-
ing filled with toys and a saucer of ice
cream given up by an Agnes Scott girl.
On December the fourteenth, the last
Sunday, the Choral Society will spon-
sor the "Messiah," sung by members
of the society and friends from Deca-
tur and Atlanta.

On Saturday, December 6, at the
chapel services, Honorable George
Foster Peabody addressed the faculty
and students. Dr. Peabody, who was
here for the Educational meetings in
Atlanta, was at one time a membei of
the General Education Board, which
has made possible our new Buttrick
Hall. After he had given valuable
service to this educational organiza-
tion, he resigned, because he felt that
he could render more service as an in-
dividual. He has done much for south-
ern people (he is a native of Georgia)
and for southern interests. Dr. Mc-
Cain introduced this illustrious speak-
er with a glowing account of his serv-
ice to educational and other interests.

Dr. Peabody compared the faces of
his Saturday audience with those seen
by him at the State Normal School
soon after the Civil War and rejoiced
at the healthy and robust appearance
of the former in contrast with the
peakedness of the latter. From the
reference to this college he passed to
another Skidmore College at Sarato-
ga Springs, a vocational college of on-
ly fifteen years of degree-giving, in
whose success he is interested.

From educational matters, Dr. Pea-
body went to political. He emphasized
the necessity for Anglo-Saxon leader-
ship in the nation's affairs. He re-
viewed in brief a little of the part of
the Demerits and stated that the
chief business of life in a democracy
is an interest in politics.

He went on to say that in spite of
the general disappointment in the re-
sults of Woman's Suffrage that a
great deal depended on the women of
the United States. It is their duty to
make the coming generation realize
the significance of the vote, for they
can do much more than men in influ-
encing more people to vote.

Dr. Peabody ended by saying that
he would carry back with him a pic-
ture of young women who are going to
/make Georgia what it should be, be-
cause of its inheritance and its situa-
tion the strategic center of the South
the leader of the recovery of the
United States in Democracy. His final
word was an account of the far-reach-
ing fame of Woodrow Wilson. He said
that the chiefs and scholars of the
Mohammedan Church thought so well
of Wilson's writings that they had
them translated into their language
and placed with the Koran, as was
their custom with words of great wis-
dom. This custom, however, had not
been used since 1450 because nothing
had been worthy, but the words of
the great Democratic president, the
spokesman of the great masses of peo-
ple of the United States received this
unusual honor.

Mr. Buttrick Talks

Mr. Paul Buttrick, son of Dr. Wal-
lace Buttrick, for whom our new build-
ing is named, and who was a visitor
at Agnes Scott for the dedication ex-
ercises last Friday, spoke to the mod-
ern European History class Saturday
morning. He told many interesting
things of the four years he had spent
in Russia and on the eastern frontier.
In speaking of the attitude of these
people toward Americans, he said they
loved us, but at times the people on
the frontier thought we were merce-
nary. His account of a trip to the
Arctic circle was especially interest-
ing. His work was under the auspices
of the Y. M. C. A.

"These are the masters who instruct
us without rods and ferules, without
hard words and anger, without clothes
or money. If you approach them, they
are not asleep; if investigating you in-
terrogate them, they conceal nothing;
if you mistake them, they never grum-
ble; if you are ignorant, they cannot
laugh at you. The library, therefore,
of wisdom is more precious than rich-
es, and nothing that can be wished for
is worthy to be compared with it.
Whosoever therefore acknowledges
himself to be a zealous follower of
truth, of happiness, of wisdom, of sci-
ence, or even of the faith, must of ne-
cessity make himself a lover of books."
Richard de Bury 1344 from PHILO-
BIBLON, the first English book on the
joys of reading, written more than a
hundred years before the invention of
printing, and later published in 1474.
There is no more fitting introduction
than this for the annual book exhibit
on the campus field this year Decem-
ber 3-6 in Buttrick Hall. The very
spirit of the old masters seemed to be
present and to commingle with the
spirit of the new in the perfection of
a world made perfect for the true lov-
ers of books. The room in which the
exhibit was held became a mecca for
them, and every hour attentive groups
browsed among the various tables.

One of the most interesting collec-
tions was that of the works of Edward
Arlington Robinson, one of our pre-
mier lyrists. AN INTRODUCTION
TO EDWARD ARLINGTON ROBIN-
SON, by Charles Cestre, formed an
interesting prelude to Robinson's own
TRISTRAM, CAVENDAR'S HOUSE,
COLLECTED POEM, and SONNETS.

An unusually representative poetry
collection received a large quota of at-
tention. There were contributions
from such well-known sources as Edna
St. Vincent Millay, Keats, John Mase-
field, Ernest Dowson, Sara Teasdale,
Katharine Tynan, Padriac Colum, W.
B. Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Countee
Cullen, Robert Frost, Laurence Hope,
Elinor Wylie, Vachel Lindsay, Fran-
cis Thompson, Humbert Wolfe and
compilations of American and British
verse.

Many of the books distinguished by
literary awards were on display.
Among them were, GREEN PAS-
TURES, by Marc Connelly, the Pu-
litzer Prize Play adapted from Roak
Bradford's OL' MAN ADAM AN' HIS
CHILLUN, LAUGHING BOY, by Oli-
ver LaForge, a Pulitzer Prize novel;
Edward Arlington Robinson's TRIS-
TRAM, wanner of Pulitzer Prize for
1928; THE BRIDAL WREATH, by
Sigrid Undset, awarded the Nobel
prize for literature; THE TRUMPET-
ER OF KRAKOW, by John Newberry,
awarded the medal for the most dis-
tinguished contribution of 1928 to
American Literature for Children, and
HITTY, HER FIRST HUNDRED
YEARS, by Rachel Field, awarded the
same medal for 1930.

One of the most popular divisions of
the exhibit was the space reserved for
children's literature. To see the
groups continually attracted to this
counter and reminiscently fingering
old favorites, would reveal the ever-
present child in even the most hard-
ened heart. The lure of PINOCCHIO,
Anderson's FAIRY TALES, MOTHER
GOOSE, DIDDIE DUMPS AND TOT,
was still irresistible and such addi-
tions to the child's library as Miss
Knox's (an alumna of Agnes Scott),
THE BOYS AND SALLY, LITTLE
TOOKTOO, SONNY ELEPHANT,
POEMS FOR PETER, Pirate, King

SPLENDID ISOLATION

It sounds well, doesn't it? And it may have meant something
when Lord Salisbury first used it two generations ago, but it cer-
tainly has no meaning today. Since the beginning of the Republic,
however, the United States has clung tenaciously to the principle
of isolation, the policy of "no entangling alliances." In spite of the
fact that its affairs are so interwoven with the affairs of others,
America has consistently refused to deviate from this policy.
When Jefferson used the words "no entangling alliances," he had
reference to formal treaties of offense and defense, and the coun-
try has done well to make no such engagements. But isolation has
meant in the United States far more than this. It implies not only
a distrust of foreign nations, but an unwillingness to co-operate
in certain great undertakings of international import that can by
no stretch of the imagination be called entangling alliances. How
is it that such an attitude (for it is an attitude as much as a policy)
holds the nation in its grip? It is deep-seated in the American
character. Many factors aided in building it up, and entrenching
it in the minds of the people.

In the first place, there was the fact of geographic isolation
on two boundaries, a vast expanse of water and on the other two,
thinly settled, unaggressive neighbors. In the next place, there
was the fact of economic isolation an almost unlimited expanse of
territory, self sufficient in practically every respect. And finally,
there was the fact of spiritual isolation. Those who peopled the
continent so rapidly came in protest against the existing religious,
social, or economic conditions of their mother countries. America
was the Mecca toward which all oppressed turned. It was the
promised land, and the hardships they met were hardships they
could overcome. It is no wonder, then, that subsequent gener-
ations should look with distrust on the home of their ancestors.
It explains in large measure the present lack of sympathy for and
understanding of other nations and the distaste for all foreigners
and things foreign. Americanism has become an aggressive and a
defiant spirit.

It is evident that none of these conditions are applicable to
present day affairs. Though the feeling of isolation has had a
perfectly natural development in America, there is no necessity for
giving it expression in the management of foreign relations no
more necessity, that is, than is dictated by the tremendous force of
an idea that is commonly held, even though that idea has long since
outworn its usefulness.

Philip G. Davidson.

We Think

The article (signed "R") in the "We
Think" column of the Agonistic of No-
vember twenty-sixth aroused both our
interest and our sympathy. And yet,
remembering that we are all only
human, and many of us quite young,
are not those utterances just a shade
too severe?

We grant, because we must, that the
taste of the majority of students in
art. in literature, and in music is some-
what undeveloped. But it must be
taken into account that many students
enter college at sixteen years of age,
or even earlier, and are through, al-
legedly, with their formal education
at twenty. People at twenty are, gen-
erally speaking, still remarkably cal-
low. There are exceptions, of course.
There are people who were born art-
ists, and whose appreciation of the
beautiful needs neither awakening nor
training. Such people are, unfortun-
ately, rare. The greater number of us
are simply plodding, ordinary mortals
who need to have our rough edges
smoothed off on the wheel of time.
Education, in its root meaning, lasts
for no certain number of prescribed
years; there are no definite lines of
demarcation between its stages. The
formation of a taste for the best is
often the work of a lifetime of
patience and painful effort. So let us
not be too discouraged if we find some-
thing of the primitive in our neigh-
bors. Let us remember that they have
a long period yet ahead in which to
grasp those things which seem to have
thus far eluded them. In making
these allowances, we are not implying
that college students are little children
and to be treated as such. What we
are implying is that in comparison
with those who have not only been
through college but have also had the
advantages of passing through other
experiences, the college student is
necessarily immature. But this fact
is not alarming when we recall that
Charles Eliot, who knew youth well,
defines the cultivated man as "not
finished, but perfecting."

In regard to the Fine Arts Building,
proposed as the next step in the
building program of the college, we
feel that there is a burning need for
such a building on this campus. We
are, or certainly many of us are, un-
able to appreciate that which is lovely
unless we have before us a material,
concrete form of loveliness which we
can see with our own eyes and feel
with our own hands. If facilities are
provided for the proper appreciation
of the arts, we feel confident that
such an appreciation would not be
lacking among the students. Illusion
is essential to life. Those who can
create illusions for themselves have
in their hands the key to an exquisite
happiness, and an exquisite pain. But
it is almost impossible to stretch the
most vivid imagination far enough to
cover the deficiencies of the present
totally inadequate artistic equipment.

The Book Shelf

We think that if a well bred young
lady went calling she would scarcely
desire to remind her hostess of her
visit by carving or writing her initials
on the furniture of said hostess's
home.

It should not be necessary to urge
college students not to mark the desks
of our beautiful new building and yet
we know of two cases in which it is
necessary. We hope that these were
done under hypnosis, that .the guilty
students were not conscious of their
action and were stricken with re-
morse immediately afterward. \\\-
would hate to think that at Agnes
Scott, there are even two students
who are so "high schoolish," so ill bred,
so thoughtless, so ungrateful and so
selfish that they could deliberately de-
face Buttrick Hall.

B. G.

Last Friday afternoon our new ad-
ministration and class room building
was formally dedicated. We have been
using Buttrick Hall for three months,
but already it has grown to mean much
in our lives, and activities. All of us
are familiar with the untiring efforts,
the hours of work, and the sacrifice

An extract from a letter to the
Woman's Press, written by Miss Elea-
nor Hubbard, Miss Hubbard conducted
the Camp Friendship experiment at
Beirut, Syria, last summer.

"We had four Moslem girls at camp.
Three of them were from a very
wealthy family. These girls especially
appreciated the freedom of camp. One
of them asked if they might go with-
out stockings and wear sleeveless
dresses, as she felt that they needed
the sun because at home and on the
streets they, as Moslem girls, must
always be covered. Another one of the
Moslem girls said that she never knew
there could be a place with such a
spirit of fellowship; where a girl
never felt that she was a Moslem,
Christian or Jew, but that all were of
the same religion in spirit. There were
six nationalities represented at Camp

Alumnae News

The reunion dinner of the class of
'30, given November 30 in the Alum-
na e House, was most successful. After
each girl had told what she is doing
this year, old class songs were sung
with great enthusiasm. Sarah Town-

Giddy, m'love,

Well, I'll be nibbled to death by
ducks if it isn't eight more days till
vacation! And it doesn't seem a min-
ute since we were mournfully and
hopelessly marking off eighty-eight
more days! Which all goes to show
that the "Truth will out" or is it
"Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion?" Aw shucks, make it anything
you please; I'm not feeling at all
proverbial just now how can I be,
when I'm assailed with an over amount
of C. S.?

Well, Markie Mowry seems to be in
the clutches of P. S. (meaning Poetic
Spirit) just now. I knew it wasn't
going to help her a bit to get in that
Poetry Club. Why the other night,
she became so stirred by the Muse
that she aroused poor long-suffering
Willa Upchurch at two A. M. with a
violent attack of inspiration! Person-
ally, I much prefer my plain old room-
mate, whose worst fault is setting the
alarm for six as regularly as she goes
to bed, and then sleeping right on
through the hullabaloo!

My dear, more evidence of John the
Ghost! Don't try to convince me or
any of the other darkies that it wasn't
the Infinite Capacity himself, in a re-
vengeful mood, who set fire to dear
old Rebeky the other day! Why Margy
Ellis insisted New Year must have
slipped up on us, what with all the
whistling and blowing that was taking
place around the Institute! It must
have been a grave state occasion, be-
cause they actually used one of those
fnv extinguishers that have been
tantalizing our curiosity lo! these

many years. Well, our heroes of the
dusky complexion have certainly been
looking like something the cook for-
got to put in the ice box ever since.
We'll be doing our own waiting one
of these days, if we don't bump off
that ghost soon.

You should have been present at the
memorable tennis finals, Giddy!
Really, I didn't have time to watch
the game, so intent was I on wonder-
ing when Dr. Davidson would fall
from glory. Well, he did; I mean he
really did and with variations! This
time he demonstrated aptly enough
the head stand as done frontwards
from a high seat (composed of in-
numerable rickety chairs piled un-
stably on top of each other!) But I
wasn't exactly free to give vent to my
unbounded mirth, since I had History
the next day. Just the same, he has
the makings of a fine acrobat if he
only uses all his opportunities, and
applies himself earnestly enough!

And then old Bobbie Hart had to go
and get tropical on us, and import an
alligator! Can y' imagine the cheek?
Everybody in Main is in mortal ter-
ror of stepping into an alligator pie-
bed some night, on the order of those
lobster ones that were circulating last
week.

Well, I must flock along, old dear,
Devotedly,

Aggie.

Shed a tear for poor Pufty Herrin!
Wouldn't she start an eighteen-day
diet, when it's only fifteen till Christ-
mas? Oh dear!

Jones (buying new overcoat): "I
can't wear this, dear; it's three sizes
too big."

Wife: "Yes, you can! Remember it's
got to go over the radiator of the
car in cold weather. That's what we
have to consider first." Pearson's.

Freddy: "What is an iceberg, dad-
dy?"

The last practice debate before the

Louise Ware and Nancy Crockett the
negative.

Saturday Evening Post.

There are certain measurements of
social success that are woefully neg-
lected in our society news. Now week-
ending out or attending fraternity
dances is all very social, but tele-
grams, specials, packages and tele-
phone calls are not to be sneezed at.
According to statistics in this line,
Miss "Aggie" isn't exactly a social
peanut. Consider: An average of eight
specials a day and twenty on Sunday;
an average of three telegrams per
day; fifteen packages and enough
phone calls to develop each of our
vocabularies in a doubtfully beneficial
way! I suppose, like everything else,
society begins at home, so if you never
get any further than an occasional
phone call or special, rest assured
you've made a fine beginning.

Jo Clark, ex-'33, was a visitor on the
campus last week.

THE AGONISTIC

BOOK EXHIBIT DELIGHTS

MANY DURING WEEK
(Continued from page 1)
Arthur, and Robin Hood Playbooks are
actually as provocative of interest as
the older contributions.

One table was given over entirely to
French literature. Among the fasci-
nating books here were LES COS-
TUMES REGIONAUX DE FRANCE,
CHATEAUX DE FRANCE, CHAN-
SONS, etc. This selection was well
supplemented by other variously plac-
ed books dealing with phases of life in
Devon, London, Norway, Spain, Italy,
etc.

Students and other book lovers are
greatly indebted to Mrs. Elijah A.
Brown for her loan of rare, old vol-
umes. Among the collection were
NATIONAL PORTRAITS, printed in
1884, an illustrated Latin and English
BOTANISTS EXPOSITION, COS-
TUMES OF TURKEY, dated 1814, a
Bible printed in London in the year
1697, and one of those charmingly mid-
victorian Godey's Ladies' Book for the
year 1863. Some advice found among
its yellowed pages is as applicable to-
day as it was in 1863. It is prefaced
by the words, Influence of a True
Wife, and reads: "A sensible, affec-
tionate, refined, practical woman, who
makes a man's nature all the stronger
by making it more tender who puts
new heart into all his worthy striv-
ings, gives dignity to his prosperity,
and comfort to his adversity. Every
true life wields a still greater power
when it feels a living heart drawing
it with irresistible force into every po-
sition of duty."

Those who enjoyed the exhibit
should feel themselves greatly indebt-
ed to Rich's, Miller's, Davison-Paxon's,
and the Macmillan Company for the
courtesy extended in the loan of books.
It would be a courteuos gesture to
mention having seen them at the Ag-
nes Scott exhibit when you are next
in the book departments of these sev-
eral stores. Great appreciation is also
due to those who contributed the love-
ly posters and pictures of Le Mont
Saint Michel, Le Theatre Antique
d'Arles, Lisieux, The Nun's Priest's
Tale, Shakespearian Stage, Merrie
England, etc. Each of them played a
most important part in lending to the
atmosphere of the room an intangible
charm of "new worlds to conquer." In
the words of Wordsworth, "Dreams,
books, are each a world; and books, we
know, are a substantial world."

Floridian: "And vou actually had
365 days of sunshine in your state?"

Californian: "Yes, and a conserva-
tive estimate at that." Junior Boy.

AND INFORMING TALK

(Continued from page 1)
to come to China and with her sister
to be lady in waiting to her.

Everyone in the audience will re-
member with amusement the reactions
which the speaker described on her
return to Chna: her experiences in the
sedan chairs, the arirval at the palace,
the difficulty of kowtowing in Parisian
clothes and the wonder of the Empress
at the Parisian customs of dress.

She described in a fascinating man-
ner the numerous customs of the
court in respect to the Empress: the
audiences, the toilet, the walks, the
jewels, the temple of five hundred
Buddhas on the hill, the dining cus-
toms, the imperial barges, everything
interesting and relevant to the life of
the Empress.

She particularly described the lone-
ly state of the Empress who talked to
only two people, who ate alone, who
was loved by very few, who could
not show their affection. Once the
Princess exclaimed over the wealth
and power of the Empress and said
that she must be very happy. The
Empress replied that that was not
happiness, that wealth and power
were valuable but there must be some-
thing more.

The jewelry of the Empress was as-
tounding; a rope of 118 pearls the size
of canary eggs, perfectly matched in
weight, color and size, a diamond
crown worth one million dollars which
she scorned as a piece of glass, a cape
of pearls.

The Princess concluded her lecture
by saying that the Empress had the
true spirit of international relation-
ship that in order to have the best con-
nections with a county one must study
and try to understand the people of
that land. Therefore, the Princess said,
she is touring the United States, lec-
turing on and writing books about her
native land, in order that through a
knowledge of the culture and charac-
ter of the Chinese people, the relation-
ship between the two countries might
be more cordial.

After the conclusion of her talk, the
Princess showed some very beautiful
and remarkable slides, made from her
own private photographic collection.
These were tinted in the nautral colors
and showed very graphically the
things of which she had been speak-
ing. There were many views and
scenes of the Summer and W T inter Pal-
aces of the Empress: exquisite marble
bridges, colorful interior scenes, var-
ious views of lakes and moats, cover-
ed with the lotus flowers. There were
pictures of the Forbidden City of
Peking. And then there were pictures
of the Empress herself, alone and then
surrounded by all the pomp and splen-
dor of her court. There were pictures
of the speaker and her sister taken at
their home. The slides were unusual-
ly clear and vivid and the Princess ac-
companied each one with a short con-
cise explanation.

After the lecture an informal recep-
tion was held in the Day Student Room
in Main to which the entire audience
was invited to come and meet the

Princess Der Ling was an unusual-

as intelligent and informing, lecturer,
and we feel honored that she has come
to Agnes Scott. Her personality, her
anecdotes, and her Empress will not
soon be forgotten.

WE THINK

(Continued from page 2)
that it has cost to possess this beau-
tiful addition to our college plant, but
wo wonder if the poor student attend-
ance at the dedication is an index to
our gratitude and appreciation for
what such an addition will mean for
Agnes Scott.

But more than this. The great num-
ber of student absences was easily de-
tected for two speakers referred to it
openly. The impression that our at-
tendance record made on the distin-
guished men and women present will
be difficult to repair.

In Atlanta Dec, 29

Agnes Scott to Entertain all
Girl Delegates.

More than three hundred delegates
from over two hundred colleges are
planning to attend the Sixth Annual
Congress of the National Students
Federation of America at the Biltmore
froth December 29 lu January t. The
officials of Agnes Scott student gov-
ernment are returning for this very
important conference and will enter-
tain the women delegates; Georgia
Tech will entertain the men.

Ed R. Murrow, president, says,
"This will mark the most important
occasion in the history of the Fed-
eration, as the future must be plan-
ned at this Congress."

The program is to be most inter-
esting. There will be discussions on
student government, honor systems,
athletics, publications, and many other
important subjects. The program of
the Federation will be outlined and
discussed.

The speakers for the conclave in-
clude Governor Richard B. Russell,
who will have as his subject the edu-
cational system of Georgia. Three
other speakers will present various
phases of the world-wide depression
and the Tariff a representative of
the Republican National Committtee,
ex-Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross of
Wyoming: from the Democratic Na-
tional Committee-, ami a Liberal. Stu-
dent discussions on the depression and
the tariff questions will mirror stu-
dent opinions.

A poll will be taken on questions of
national and international scope such
as, Prohibition, the World Court, and
Unemployment Insurance.

The program of entertainment in-
cludes a reception, a trip to Stone
Mountain, a buffet dinner at Agnes
Scott, and a New Year's Eve ball at
the Biltmore.

French Club to Sing
Carols 9:30 P.M.,18th

Glee Club to Start Holiday
Singing Friday Morning.

This year, the French Club and the
Grlse Club will again sing Christmas
Carols. It has long been a tradition
at Agnes Scott that these organiza-
tions should sing the old familiar
carols the night before and the day of
leaving for the Christmas holidays.

Miss Florence Smith and Elizabeth
Sutton will play the violin accompani-
ment for the French carols. There will
be a number of new songs, which Miss
Alexander brought back from France
this summer. The French Club will
>ing its carols about 9:30 on Thursday
night.

The Glee Club will sing carols in
very dormitory and cottage on Fri-
day morning. They will begin about
live a. m.

The college community is deeply in-
Jebted to these organizations, for the
carols give us a feeling of "goodwill
toward men" which pervades everyone
at Christmas time.

Magazine Announces
Short Story Contest

Open to Students in Colleges
and Universities Only.

A short story contest open to un-
dergraduates in American colleges and
universities is announced by the
Ladies' Home Journal, which offers a
prize 6f .f.i,(K<0.G0 lor tne bebt original
short story of from 5,000 to 7,000
words in length; and $500 for the best
short story of from 1,200 to 2,500
words in length. The Ladies' Home
Journal reserves the right to buy at
its regular rates any short story sub-
mitted in the contest which does not
win the prize but which does deserve
to be printed.

It is suggested that while there is
no limitation as to title or subject it
is axiomatic that the new writer is
most likely to be successful when he
works with material that he knows at
first hand. The undergraduate would
be wise to lay his story against
a background which he knows from
his own experience rather than against
one which he must imagine or invent.

A contestant may enter one or more
stories in either division, but each
story entered must be mailed in a sep-
arate envelope. All manuscripts must
be typewritten, double-spaced, and on
one side of the paper only. The title
of the story should be in the center at
the top of the first page, the author's
name, address, college and class at the
left and the number of words at the
right. No entry postmarked after mid-
night February first can be considered.
Mail entries to Contest Editor, Ladies
Home Journal, Independence Square,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As soon as the judges agree on
their final decision the winner will be
notified and the rejected manuscripts
returned, if a self-addressed stamped
envelope has been enclosed. Vassal"

! Choral Society
Presents "Messiah"

Mr. Johnson Directs Effect-
ive Presentation.

Sunday, December 14, at 3 p. m. a
large audience gathered in the Agnes
Scott chapel to hear Handel's "Mes-
siah" as it was presented by the Agnes
Qr.^tf n,Mv:)i Society., assMed K y
friends from Atlanta and Decatur.

"The Messiah" began with the over-
ture which Mr. Dieckmann rendered
excellently, while the chorus marched
in and arranged itself on the stage.

As the name implies, the "Messiah"
is the portrayal of the story of Christ.
It is arranged in three parts. The
first part includes the prophecies and
the fulfillment, and the ministry of
Jesus. This, which is the longest por-
tion of the piece, includes solos by all
four of the featured artists, and the
pastoral symphony played by Mr.
Dieckmann. It was most beautifully
done.

The second part includes the pas-
sion, the resurrection, the ascension,
and opposition to Christ's kingdom.
This part was very lovely and the
melodies were well presented.

The third part was made up of the
life everlasting and the triumph and
universal reign of Christ. The life
everlasting is composed of a lovely
soprano air. The last part is com-
j/oscu Of ttfe ftttnwctS .stirring Hallelu-
jah chorus. In accordance with tradi-
tion the audience stood during the
singing of this masterpiece.

"The Messiah" was presented in a |
most effective manner and the direc- j
tor, Mr. T. H. Johnson, may well be
proud. The assisting artists were
Julia Chapman, soprano; Kathleen
Bowen, contralto; Vaughan Ozmer,
tenor, and Walter Herbert, bass. Mr.
Dieckmann accompanied the chorus at
the organ.

White Candle Service
Program at Y e W.

Christmas Music Numbers
Featured.

Sunday night, December 14, the
white candle service was held in the
chapel. According to tradition this ef-
fective service is always held on the
last Sunday before the holidays as a
climax to the red candle services which
we have been attending on Friday
nights.

The chapel was decorated with pine
boughs and ferns and was lighted by
the white candles placed in each win-
dow and by those carried by each mem-
ber of the choir. The white dresses
worn by the choir helped to give the
white Christmas service an air of
holiness. The processional hymn, ''Oh
Come all Ye Faithful," was particu-
larly lovely and was followed by many
old carols including "Silent Night"
and "Joy to the World." Several im-
pressive readings were given by An-
drewina Robinson, and Betsy Thomp-
son lead in prayer. Alena Fraser
Howerton sang the carol "The Shep-
herds Christmas Song."

KEEPING CHRISTMAS
Henry Van Dyke

It is a good thing to observe Christmas day. The mere mark-
ing of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make
merry together is a wise and wholesome custom.

But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas
day, and that is, keeping Christmas.

Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people,
and to remember what other people have done for you? To ignore
what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world;
to put your rights in the background, your duties in the middle
distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in
the foreground; to see that your fellow men are just as real as
you are, and to try to look behind their faces to their hearts,
hungry for joy; to own that probably the only reason for your
existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what
you are going to give life; to close your book of complaints against
the mismanagement of the universe, and look around you for a
place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness are you
willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep
Christmas.

Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs of little
children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who
are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you,
and ask yourself whether you love them enough are you willing
to do these things for even a day? Then you can keep Christ-
mas.

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in
he world stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than
death and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nine-
teen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of eternal
Love? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you can keep it
Ear a day. why not always? But you can never keep it alone.

"I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men!

"And in despair 1 bowed my head;
There is no peace on earth, I said :

For hate is strong

And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men !

"Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep !

The wrong shall fail.

The right prevail.
With peace on earth, good will to men!"

Curtain Call

Our tired little editorial voice can
probably do very little to swell the
paean of praise of "The Ivory Door,"
but what love dares do that dares love
attempt, and we are putting ourselves
in print quite definitely to the effect
that we approve heartily of First Hall
Play this year.

For a long time we have tolerated
hall plays on the grounds that they
were all meant in a spirit of good
clean fun, but always we have wist-
fully longed for one good solid eve-
ning's entertainment. And now we've
had it and we think it's swell.

The Experimental Theatre has long
been making a significant contribution
to the Art of the Theatre, and it seems
to us that Phil's aim should not be a
rather shoddy imitation of this, but
frank effort at entertainment on a so-
cial week-end, done with all the skill
possible. And through 'The Ivory
Door" we found our answer not a
crowd of little devils crying "Is it
Art?" but an appreciative crowd say-
ing "It's a grand show!"

This production, beautifully staged
and excellently directed, should re-
main as a monument to future hall
play producers, for they will go far
before they can better it as honest
and delightful entertainment. Vassar
Miscellany News.

If Vassar's production of this de-
lightful play was as good as Agnes
Scott's, it must have been a "grand
show."

Paris Is Cheap
Paris (IP). The cost of living for

There are also the copy-writers
who put material turned in into
shape for publication. Then there are
the feature writers who do work on
special subjects and for special de-
partments, as the social, financial, and
sporting pages. Women make especial-
ly good society reporters and literary
and music critics. Editorial positions
Lire more limited in number, but pro-
gressive newspapers are always on the
lookout for reporters who show real
"editorial sense" the ability to inter-
pret and evaluate news and to present
it effectively to the public.

Too many would-be Journalists seek
the crowded field of city journalism.
Many authorities advocate apprentice-
ship with a small town newspaper. In
the past few years quite a few women
have taken over small town papers
and, with an understanding of the
community, have made successes.

Many writers are classified as free
lance journalists. They are not salar-
ied workers on the staff of any one
paper but sell their work per column
or per hundred words to papers and to
syndicates. The writer who has the
knack of feature writing often makes
a great deal from her work.

Some organized preparation is
necessary before entering journalism.
The larger universities have establish-
ed excellent schools of journalism of-
fering four-year courses. Probably the
best known and most popular is the
Pulitzer gehoo] of Journalism of Co-
lumbia University. This school offers
a course covering the last two years
of the undergraduate curriculum, and
admits graduates of other colleges to
its second year, if they have had work
equivalent to the first. It provided
three traveling foreign scholarships to
its graduates.

Giddy, old belle,

Day after tomorrow, and we'll leave
old Aggie high and dry. Well, I guess
she can stand the separation if we
can. And we can, what I mean! Why,
we've all got C. S. so badly I can't
imagine how we could stay another
minute. By the way, did you hear
about Betty Kump? The poor girl
went to Dr. Sweet in a frenzy, because
Martha Eskridge and Porter Cowles
told her she had a terrible case of
C. SJ

Giddy, did you hear the doleful news
about Kay Morrow? Why, the other
day while she was out being industrial
or sociable or something big-ikey like
that, the Only One dashed in between
trains, and after wearing out a couple
of rugs in main parlor, and tubing
every floor in every dormitory on the
campus, to say nothing of Science
Hall (in spite of Miss Mac's earnest
requests to the contrary) he was
forced to go away unrewarded. Im-
agine poor Kay's blighted condition on
returning home! She's been trying to
make us think the red and swollen
optics are the result of a cold caught
while doing deeds of love and mercy,
but you can draw your own conclus-
ions!

Have you seen Mary Miller's cute
new Charlie? You know, the tower-
ing brunette. Eve Hill says that
Charlie is a wonderful boy, but you
certainly have to take him in sections!

I'd undergo anything to save a few

week found herself with two dollars
exactly one more than her family had!
So Douschka, with the true spirit of
Little Saint Liz, sent one of her cher-
ished bones to the suffering souls at
home! I guess that's just another case
of charity beginning at home!

It seems that nothing athletic is
complete these days without at least
one tumble, since Dr. Davidson set the
style. The other night, at the water
polo game, Miss Wilburn and Betty
Bonham fell over backwards with ex-
citement!

Day after tomorrow! You'd better
be sewing up that hole in your stock-
ing! I'll write you all about every-
thing in the sweet by and by, but for
the present,

Glee Club

The Glee Club held its regular
weekly meeting Wednesday night at
7 o'clock in Mr. Johnson's Studio. The
meeting was merely a practice one.
Sunday morning, December 14, the
club broadcasted the program of
Christmas carols given here the pre-
vious Sunday, over WSB. And then
Monday evening the special chorus
gave a program which was broadcast
from the Biltmore Hotel. These pro-
grams were a great success.

Pen and Brush Club

The Pen and Brush Club met Wed-
nesday, December 10, in the Faculty
Parlor. In a short business meeting
at the beginning of the program, the
club decided to adopt stationery of its
own. The time of meeting was chang-
ed from the first Tuesday of each
month to the second Wednesday at 9
n. m.

When the business was ended, the
program committee took charge. A
contest was held to see who could draw
the most attractive and artistic Christ-
mas card and prize for first place was
awarded to Douschka Sweets who is
secretary of the club.

Student Volunteer Group

The Student Volunteer Group held
its regular meeting last Tuesday, De-
cember 9. One of the most interest-
ing programs of the year was carried
out, being an informal, and impartial
discussion of several great problems
of present day missions: the impact of
western civilization upon the eastern
peoples, the situation as it is in India
today, and the question of just how
worthwhile it is for missionaries to
utilize native customs in presenting
the true religion. It was a most en-
joyable and beneficial hour.

Society was, on the whole, at low
ebb again last week. Perhaps this was
not as much an energy-conserving de-
vice for the near-at-hand holidays as
a "strange interlude" for writing
those term papers that had been put
off 'till the eleventh hour. But who
cares about a little thing like a term
paper when all the "thrillingness" of
Christmas is just around the corner!
The society editor is duly thankful
that she doesn't have to write up all
the society that will transpire during
the holidays. Whoops! That would
be a neat little job! But here are her
best wishes that this social news will
stagger all society editors in every
place where a little Hottentot will

THE AGONISTIC

Water-Polo Season Opens

Water polo season started with a
bang Thursday night, when the
Seniors beat the Freshmen, and the
Sophomores won over the Juniors.

The first half of the Senior-Fresh-
man game started the ball rolling, and
some lively playing ensued. All the
teams played well, considering the
amount of practice they had had, and
by the end of the season some excel-
lent team work ought to be developed.

In the Senior-Freshman game both
teams did some nice playing, and the
Freshmen showed some good pros-
pects. The game ended in a score of
7-1 in favor of the Seniors.

The line-up was:

Five ways to explain those marks
that are going home:

1. The teacher does not know any-
thing about the subject himself, and is
jealous of your knowledge.

2. The teacher added your marks
very carelessly.

3. You didn't feel like working this

Double-Header Volleyball

The opening volleyball games of the
season proved a source of fun both
to the players and spectators. Per-
haps it may look easy to bat a ball
over the net, but try and place your
serve, or break up a hard one, if you
want to know just how much thought
and skill it requires. A good many
players last Friday night showed
just how well they could keep their
heads, and played excellent games.
The results of the games were:

Seniors 30, Freshmen 20.

Juniors 40, Sophomores 20.

Seniors Score Over Frosh Jrs. Beat Sophs in Basketball

The first game between the Seniors
and the red and white clad Frosh re-
sulted in a Senior victory, with the
score 12-6. The game, though rough
at times, was a good opening game.

The Seniors started the scoring by
running up several goals against the
new arrivals on Agnes Scott courts.
But the gay red and white Freshmen
proved themselves true Hottentots and
"jumped so high, they reached the
sky" (almost!) and gave their for-
wards the chance to even up the score.
At the end of the first half the score
was 6-6.

But during the last half the Seniors
managed to break loose from their
guards and roll up a few more goals
:o chalk up a 12 against the Fresh-
men's 6.

The Sophomore-Junior basketball
game on Friday night gave the basket-
ball season a good start, with some
lively playing and good teamwork.

The score was close throughout the
game, the Juniors finally winning by
a score of 25-21. Both teams display-
ed some good playing and a great deal
of spirit and enthusiasm.

The line-up for the game was as fol-
lows:

Dr. W. M. Anderson
Speaks to Students
On Vital Topics

Eminent Minister Delivers
Inspirational Talks to Col-
lege Community.

Dr. W. M. Anderson, of Dallas,
Texas, speaks here this week Febru-
ary third through the seventh in the
chapel from nine forty-five until ten
thirty. He is speaking at the Druid
Hills Presbyterian church at night. The
college community welcomes him as
his coming has been looked forward
to for some time.

Dr. Anderson is not only one of the
leading but one of the youngest
preachers in the Southern Presbyterian
church. We is pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Dallas, one of
the largest in the South. Not only is
he head of the men's work in this de-
nomination but he is also a member of
the principal committees. He is re-
garded as a "man's man" a compli-
ment worthy of any man but he ap-
peals to women equally as much. The
Cabinet requested that he be invited
because they felt he had a special ap-
peal to college girls and we are indeed
fortunate in having him with us this
week.

His talks are very interesting be-
cause he discusses in a practical way
th<* evFvyrbiy problems that, college
girls have to face. He spoke Tuesday
on "How I Know the Bible is the Word
of God" a subject that is of vital in-
terest to everyone today. His subjects
for the rest of this week are: "Who is
Jesus Christ?" "What is Faith and
How Does it Work?" "How to Get
Saved" and on Saturday he will end his
series of talks by speaking on "The
Challenge of Christ." The college
community will profit much by having
Dr. Anderson speak and looks forward
to having him with us again.

Students Hear
Pianist's Program

Paderewski Includes Atlanta
on Farewell Tour.

On Tuesday evening, February 3, the
music-lovers of Atlanta and its vicin-
ity were privileged to hear the world-
renowned pianist, Ignace Jan Paderew-
ski, on his farewell tour throughout
America. He has been to the world
not only one of the foremost musicians
of all times, but also a statesman of
note who gave unstintingly of himself
to his homeland, Poland.

The program combined the great-
ness and solidity of content character-
istic of Paderewski and some modern,
but not modernistic numbers from
Debussy and Rachmaninoff. The pian-
ist revealed the very soul of Poland
in his rendering of Chapin's national-
istic Sonata in B Minor and his noc-
turne in E Flat, Mazurkas and Etude
in A Minor. The Brahms and Beeth-
oven numbers were the pieces de re-
sistance of the evening.

Several parties of Agnes Scoit girls
attended the program and were great-
ly impressed and delighted by the re-
markable technique and facility of ex-
pression of the world's leading pianist,
Paderewski.

All roads will lead to Chattanooga
February 16, to the Congress of World
Missions which will gather the whole
Presbyterian church for an earnest
siudy of ioieigii mission work. As
students, we should be interested in
discharging as speedily as possible our
obligations for the evangelization of
the world. Each educational institu-
tion in the assembly is entitled to a
certain number of delegates, and Agnes
Scott, also, will be represented.

The programme of the conference
will be built around three distinct
principles research, conference, and
inspiration. As for research, there will
be commissions headed by such prom-
inent people as Dr. Walter L. Lingle,
Dr. D. W. Richardson, Dr. W. M. An-
derson (who is now speaking to us)
and Dr. W. T. Thompson. There will
be conferences and discussions on the
reports of these commissions. Dr.
Robert E. Speer will be the great in-
spirational leader.

It is hoped, therefore, that both in
size and in significance it may be the
greatest gathering in the history of
the Presbvterian church.

N. S. F. A. Congress
Meets at Ga. Tech
And Agnes Scott

Delegates Discuss and De-
cide on National Student
Problems.

The Sixth Annual Congress of the
National Student Federation was held
in Atlanta, Ga., December 29 to Janu-
ary 2, with Georgia Tech and Agnes
Scott as hosts. More than 250 stu-
dents leaders from approximately 175
institutions, brought the registration
to the highest point ever at the Con-
gress.

Ed R. Morrow, president of N. S. F.
A., who was reelected to serve next
year, skillfully carried the congress to
a successful close.

Prohibition, tariff, disarmament, and
campus problems were discussed. A
questionnaire brought out the follow-
ing: 57 thought college drinking in-
creasing, 47 thought it remaining
stationary, 16 decreasing; 66 favored
modification of the prohibition law, 38
voted for repeal, and 23 endorsed rigid
enforcement.

To the question "Is there any funda-
mental difference between the so-called
platforms of the two major political
parties," 71 answered "no," 33 "yes."

The questionnaire further brought
out the student leaders' favor of the
United States taking an active leader-
ship in world disarmament.

The main campus problem discussed
was collegiate athletics, the discussion
being led by Earl Dunlap, captain of
Tech's 1930 football team. The resolu-
tion after this discussion were as fol-
lows: The Sixth Annual Congress
deplores the subsidizing of college
athletes; That it go on record as favor-
ing the award of scholarships, regard-
less of participation in extra-curricular
activities; That the Congress empower
its officials to make a thorough inves-
tigation of staging a nation-wide con-
ference of college presidents, coaches,
and student leaders on Commercialism
and Professional in College Athletics.

After many heated discussions the
congress agreed to meet in 1931 at the
University of Toledo. The stay in At-
lanta was most enjoyable the stu-
dents were delighted with Southern
hospitality.

Agonistic Sponsors
Class Contest

Cup to Be Awarded for Best
Issue of Paper.

Miss Neely Tells
Of Jr. Year Abroad

Members of French Club En-
joy Talk and Slides.

Monday afternoon, February 2, Miss
Rachel Neely, of Atlanta, gave a very
interesting talk to the French Club
about the "Junior year abroad." Miss
Neely is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate
of Smith College, and she spent her
Junior year at Paris with the Smith
group. Before her talk, Marjorie Beil-
fuss told the club about the new $400,-
000 building for the use of American
students, that was dedicated recently
in Paris, and slides showing views of
this new building illustrated her talk.

A number of people outside of the
club membership attended the meeting
to hear Miss Neely.

Every spring the Agonistic sponsors
a contest in which each class competes.
The purpose is three-fold: to raise the
standards of journalism on the cam-
pus; to discover unrevealed talent in
business as well as editorial lines; and
to stimulate interest in the paper
which should be the organ of the en-
tire student body.

Each class shall submit an issue, not
more than six pages in length, which
shall be judged on the basis of: (1)
journalism and literary quality, (2)
originality, (3) appearance and make-
up, (4) accuracy. Prominent journal-
ists in Atlanta and two members of
our faculty have been asked to serve
as judges.

It is hoped that the classes will co-
operate to the fullest extent with the
staffs which they have elected and that
the issues of the paper will surpass
in excellence those which have appear-
ed in the past. After the Freshman
issue has been printed on March 4, a
silver cup will be awarded to the class
whose paper most nearly fulfills the
standards.

Interesting Events To Be
Staged Then.

After lo! these many months of an-
ticipation, the Annual Health Week is
all but on us. Next Tussday morning
in chapel the awarding of the cake to
the dormitory or cottage which has
made the best percent in the health
contest will officially start this year's
Health Week. The events scheduled
for the four days promise to afford
good entertainment for all. On Wed-
nesday morning one of the sports
writers of the Atlanta Journal is to
talk in chapel. Thursday is set aside
for the inter-dormitory basketball
battle for the Brown Jug, won last
year by the inmates of Rebekah. The
preliminary games will be in the after-
noon, as before, and the finals will be
played at seven o'clock. On Friday
evening comes the crowning event of
the week the selection of Miss Health.
Candidates from all the classes and or-
ganizations will parade around the
gym to the music of the A. P. D. C.
orchestra, and the judges will award
the silver cup, won last year by Laura
Spivey, to her who most nearly at-
tains perfection in weight, posture, and
general health. It is to be hoped that
by the end of the cake contest and
Health Week we will all indeed be
"Healthy Hottentots."

Faculty Advisers Entertain

On Tuesday afternoon, February 3,
the faculty advisors entertained their
Freshman advisers at tea from five un-
til six o'clock. These pleasant social
hours, it has been found, have done
much to prove that faculty and stu-
dents have common ground other than
the classroom.

Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd,
world-renowned explorer and con-
queror of the north and south puleb,
will lecture in the Bucher Scott Gym-
nasium Thursday afternoon, February
26, at 2:30 o'clock.

Genuine moving pictures of his flight
over Antarctic wastes to the south
pole will be used to illustrate Admiral
Byrd's lecture. Of especial interest is
the fact that these pictures are not
those recently shown in theatres. They
are presented exclusively at Byrd's
lectures and have never before been
seen in this section.

In bringing Admiral Byrd to Agnes
Scott the Lecture Association will
bring to a most successful close its
series of excellent speakers. Agnes
Scott and the many friends who will
attend are being given one of the
greatest opportunities to hear a very
famous personnage relate and illus-
trate his enthralling experiences on the
rim of the earth. To have so promi-
nent an American at Agnes Scott is
indeed a reflection of the untiring ef-
forts uf the Lecture Association Cum-
in ittee and of the excellent co-oper-
ation of the college administration
with it.

Season tickets, which have been
used for the three preceding lectures,
will be good for Admiral Byrd's. A
charge of two dollars is being made
for single admission fees to those who
do not hold these tickets. The stu-
dents are being requested by the Lec-
ture Association to advise their friends
in the vicinity of this unusual oppor-
tunity.

Athletic Ass'n.

Offers Cake

Healthiest Dormitory to Re-
ceive Prize.

On Saturday, January 17 back in
the dim and blissful past before exams
the Cakespearean Players presented
a drama with a moral; the moral, for
the benefit of those-who-are-slow-to-
catch-on, was that lots of sleep, regu-
lar meals, fruit and exercise line the
path of roses to straight A's on all
exams. The Athletic Association, de-
sirous of raising the scholastic stand-
ing of our Alma Mater, went so far as
to offer a cake to the cottage or dor-
mitory which, during the ensuing
three weeks, could attain the best aver-
age for all its occupants getting seven
hours of sleep nightly and three meals,
a piece of fruit and half an hour's
brisk exercise daily. This explains the
harassed expression of one girl on each
hall as she tracks down her charges to
inquire into their personal habits for
the day, and marks them accordingly
on her chart. But picture her woebe-
gone countenance if, after all her ef-
forts, your dormitory did not secure
the coveted cake. Have pity on her,
and "do your darndest."

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

Officially the new year arrived on January 1, but it is just
dawning at Agnes Scott. Peace has descended upon the campus
after the hectic examination period which ended with a flourish the
first semester The past mistakes have been washed from the slate
which now lies unblemished for us to make of it what we will.

Almost all of us have formulated in our minds a few resolu-
tions which we intend to keep. We will read our parallel in Bible
and Sociology long before the end of the semester. We are deter-
mined to be up-to-date in our American Literature assignments.
The time will not slip up on us during this semester and find us
sadly behind, frantically trying to scan through hundreds of pages
and grasp the gist of the author's meaning. We will be prepared
for any emergency. Such resolutions have become mere common-
place statements, so often have they been repeated and forgotten.

We may well resolve to improve in our search for knowledge,
but let us also go farther afield and look towards other badly needed
reforms.

It seems strange that we are willing to give liberally of our
means for the erection of well-equipped buildings and the beauti-
fying of the campus; yet we persist in our defacement of the very
objects towards which we have been working. There appears to
be an over-supply of intractable pens which write only when they
are violently shaken. It is possible, however, to substitute as ob-
jects for the attack blotters instead of the walls and floors of
Buttrick Hall. Other pens are prone to run out of ink. For
emergencies of that variety the administration has furnished ink
in the maid's office and in the various classrooms. Individual ink
bottles, therefore, are considered quite out of place in the new
building. Some people find it necessary to scratch violently at
some surface in order to concentrate. Theme paper serves the
purpose just as well as the arms of the chairs. We are not pur-
posely destructive, we are merely thoughtless. As intelligent col-
lege students, however, it is our duty to be thoughtful.

A problem on the campus, one which is giving the adminis-
tration great concern is the matter of chapel attendance. The
college rules call for compulsory attendance, but during the presi-
dency of Dr. McCain the trustees have allowed us the freedom of
attending w hen we desire. The results have been alarming, and
the situation has become critical. When speakers of note are
brought to the campus, the administration is embarrassed at the
mere handful of students present. We as students definitely miss
something when we fail to take advantage of the inspiration and
the information derived from regular attendance at the chapel
service. Unless we do something to remedy the situation, stringent
measures may be taken. Regular chapel attendance is a habit, and
a very good one to form. Let us make it and keep it.

Resolutions are mere air unless they are backed by will
power We can keep up with our academic work and derive real
satisfaction from it; we can refrain from marring our new build-
ing and enjoy its beauty; we can attend chapel regularly and re-
ceive worth-while benefits from it. We will.

Tribute Paid to

Dr. J. L McCain

John I. McCain

(The following deserved tribute to
Dr. J. I. McCain is from the pen of
Hon. Luther Harrison and appeared in
the Daily Oklahoman. Mr. Harrison
was once a student of Dr. McCain in
Erskine College and like hundreds of
others entertains for him feelings of
highest respect and deepest affection).

"Judged by the standards of swol-
len wealth and world reputation, just
another failure ended this life when
John I. McCain of South Carolina died
on the morning following Christmas
day. For this man, who for 49 years
taught English literature to the stu-
dents of Erskine college, died a poor
man, and in the national sense he died
obscure. Only his neighbors in the
Piedmont section and a few thousand
students of two generations knew his
fame. Scholars sometimes pronounced
him 'the greatest English teacher
south of Princeton,' but the verdict of
scholars went unnoted in that busy
forum where harsher souls fight for
opulence and fame.

"The quiet village and the elm-shad-
ed campus where Doctor McCain spent
almost half a century were of his own
choosing. Offer after offer of more
money and a wider sphere came to him,
but they never tempted him. He chose
to give his life to the little college of
the Covenanters and to the few score
students who annually sat in wonder
at his feet. Long ago he saw in his
humble position the opportunity to
mould the character of those who
listened to his instruction, to impart
the soul-glow which made his own soul
so beautiful to those who heard his
teaching, and to reveal the marvels of
our mother tongue to the fortunate
sons of perhaps 20 states who fore-
gathered at the modest school in Ab-
beville county. His sincere passion for
making men silenced the call to high
position and large remuneration.

"We may refuse to accept the fre-
quent assertion that the world knows
nothing of its greatest men. But wide-
ly scattered through many states and
several different nations are those who
regarded this departed Erskine in-
structor as the gi'eatest man they ever
knew. In Oklahoma there are fewer
than a half dozen alumni of Erskine
college, but each of these when asked
to name the finest soul he ever met
will name without any hesitation the
English master of his college days.
And somehow each of them when
thinking of the stainless son of the
Mary-mother will also think of John I.
McCain." The Associate Reformed
Presbyterian.

To Advise American Students

Three new members have been added
to the imposing list of prominent na-
tional and international figures who
advise and sponsor the National Stu-
dent Federation of America. Dr. Henry
Noble McCracken, president of Vassar
College; Ivy Lee, public relations ex-

of the Pollak Foundation for Economic
Research, are the new members chosen
by the Federation.

The Turks Are Coming
There will be four debating teams
from Europe engaging in verbal com-
bat with the orators of American col-
leges and Universities during the fall
of 1931. For the first time in the his-
tory of international debating the Na-
tional Student Federation of America
will present a Turkish team. A team
from Holland will also make its debut
in American forensics.

The Federation will again sponsor
and direct teams for two groups of
English students. December 20th, 1930,
concluded the series of international
debates conducted under the auspices
of the National Student Federation.
Teams from England, Germany and
Scotland engaged in a total of 110 de-

The Book Shelf

The weather has been so mild and
springlike lately that pretty soon, we'll
all be thinking of doing a bit of "spring
cleaning"! When we're clearing our
rooms of all the winter clutter (in-
cluding class notes of the studies we so
fortunately passed last semester!) let's
remind ourselves to look for any
chance library books that we may have
taken out and forgotten to return.
Sometimes, we do take them out, with-
out leaving the green card at the desk;
thinking: "Oh, well, I'm in a hurry to-
day! I'll bring the book back bright
and early in the morning" or "when
the fourteen days are up!" Maybe we
remember to do this, but maybe we
forget! So while the trees are getting
new leaves, let's turn over new leaves
ourselves, and when we dust out our
wardrabS remember to look for those
books we may have forgotten to re-
turn to the library. For the library
needs its books just as much as your
window needs the bright, freshly laun-
dered curtains that you are going to
put up this spring!

And by the way, when you take
those books back to the library, be sure
and stop by the Book Shelf to the
left of the main desk. It is just
loaded with fascinating books of all
types books that will not only serve
as splendid parallels for some of
your courses, but will also prove inter-

Student Editors
On Unemployment

Assuming that student interest in
the current problem of unemployment
is decidedly lacking, many student edi-
tors have prefaced their articles sub-
mitted to the N. S. F. A. Editorial
Board this week with strong sentences
of protest against the apathy of the
American student.

"Unemployment to college students
is dry, uninteresting economics," says
William Kimes of the Pacific Weekly.
"The topic of conversation just at this
time is football." But, it is suggested
in another editorial that "if enough
college football teams would play ex-
hibition games for the unemployed,
the savings of the rich would be pleas-
antly extracted and distributed to
meet the needs of the unemployed."

A general recognition of the fact
that the present depression is the re-
sult of years of accumulating condi-
tions is suggested by Ralph Dinger of
the Muhlenberg Weekly: "The unem-
ployment situation was brought here
because of certain specific causes; and
it was brought about not by the work-
ings of three months, nor even three
years, but by the slow gnawing effects
of unbalanced business, and unbal-
anced production."

When the writers seek solutions, it
seems a bit more difficult. Harry
Fordam of the Lake Forest Stentor
finds that "as we look for potential
outlets for our surplus goods we are
struck with the fact that a wider mar-
ket is not only a geographical but an
actual impossibility." Nine editors in-
sist that there is no solution to the
problem after it has once come upon
us, and that it is necessary to let de-
pression run its course, preparing
meanwhile, to avert another by pro-
viding for a practical distribution of
consumer's purchasing power during
"good times."

In evaluating the problem, Fred
Nichol of the Yankton College Stu-
dent says: "America has a problem
on her hands which equals that of an
armed conflict. There is a patriotism
of peace as well as of war." We now
face a "call not only for the solution
of a great business depression, which
has swept the United States but also
a call for a more enlightened, a more
active, a more vigorous student body."

One of the most practical sugges-
tions made comes from Robert Cullum
of the Albion College Pleiad, who
says: "A very vital approach would be
the gathering of adequate statistics
concerning the situation by student
volunteers. The inadequacy of gov-
ernment statistics on unemployment is
generally recognized, and it is im-
possible to intelligently effect the
cure of any disease adequately with-
out a fundamental understanding of
the nature of that disease."

Meanwhile, William Trufaunt Fos-
ter writes in the McClure Newspaper
columns, "Our present leaders offer
us a confusion of conflicting ideas.
They are consistent only in their in-
consistencies. The whole world cries
out, trumpet tongued, for a new
leadership." N. S. F. A. News Serv-

They may say "there's no rest for the
weary," but the weary Hottentots cer-
tainly found something for diversion
last week. With eyes dark-circled,
several pounds thinner and a few
streaks of "silver among- the gold"
(and these only the visible results of
exams) they scattered like thistle-
down last week-end to the well, I
could hardly say the four corners of
the globe but at least to the four
corners of Georgia and round about.
It was like a war or something as
fast as each one got "struck out" she
was carried away! So we certainly
have to hand it to exams for furnish-
ing weary Agnes Scotters a little time
for bigger and better social activities.
And here's how they spent that much-
talked-of "leisure time":

gomery, Ala.

Latest Styles In
Age-Old Valentines

"Roses are red, violets are
blue," said the lacy Valentines in the
days when you addressed one to your-
self and slipped it in the box at school,
in case nobody had remembered you.
And today, gay cards, still tell the "old
old story," but in an attractive new
way, for the 1931 Valentines are truly
irresistible. There are lovely Godey
prints, precisely dated, as well as ex-
quisite reproductions of Currier and
Ives prints in new small sizes. Then
there are those in keeping with the
traditional spirit of the day: sil-
houettes with a line-drawn lace border,
or water-colored prints of picturesque
couples against the gay background of
old-fashioned gardens. These designs,
instead of being done in the long-popu-
lar red, are in a variety of pastels
suggestive of Watteau, and the letter-
ing is in gold. Other cards in the "old-
time manner" show ship motifs, which
for the first time are appearing as ap-
propriate Valentine decorations. Some
of these cards, which picture old clip-
per ships and galleons, show still an-
other variation of the lace-paper fram-
ing by surrounding the picture with
photographed lace printed on a
shadow-like effect of soft gray on
white.

As for modernistic Valentines, the
extreme ones with nonchalant cubes
and bizarre colors have practically dis-
appeared. For the devotee of the new
art of formalism, however, there are
flower designs which combine a va-
riety of hues into a conventionalized
nosegay.

But the most novel of all are those
on which entrancing animals of all
kinds and descriptions bring you lov-
ing messages. One, for instance,
shows a curvilinear whale spouting
from scalloped waves; "You're the big-
gest fish in my pond"; while on an-
other two lavishly polka-dotted giraf-
fes query, "Will you be my Valen-
tine?" Most charming of all, though,
are the cats, especially the one who
waves his furry tail against a big red
heart and exclaims coyly, "Ain't love
grand!"

Colored and lined envelopes for the
first time are appearing in consider-
able numbers to enclose Valentine
greetings. White envelopes, however,
are still widely popular, although
many of them now show tissue linings
of pastel shades in solid colors. These
are particularly in evidence for the sil-
houette cards, w r hich often line the en-
velope with the same color used for the
background of the silhouette. Solid
color envelopes of bright yellow are
ni'\y with black and white cards.

Dear old thing,

Imagine my embarrassment at not
having written sooner, but you see,
I've Heck! I feel myself lapsing into
some of that trite rot about being busy
with exams! I declare, Giddy, the best
way out would be to get a rubber
stamp to the effect that I am now ap-
plying myself to correspondence, my
arduous intellectual pursuits being con-
cluded I should say, halted for four
more months!

Well, as I hope I was preparing to
say, when I so rudely interrupted my-
self, is that those were certainly the
elemagorgeous Christmas holidays, eh-
what ? A pleasant time seems to have
been had by all, judging from the
tokens of undying affection, which
have appeared atop so many palpitat-
ing hearts. For reference, see among
others, Marty Stigall, and Sturdy, and
Saxon Pope

And speaking of Saxon-the-Siren,
she's just another little girl from the
institute with a wide reputation. In
fact, her fame is so far spread abroad
that an admiring swain called her up
sight unseen, and asked for a date.
Saxon accepted, but when the moment-
ous night arrived, she found herself
with a superfluity (that means two,
Giddy) of men. Nothing daunted,
Saxon arrayed Emily Squires like a
lily of the field (i. e. Saxon), and
Emily strode forth literally in Saxon's
shoes. But alas! Her sin found her
out, and all was lost when the ten-of-
ten bell rang and Saxon appeared on
the scene to tell her date goodbye. You
know the rest and of course the youth
departed in high dudgeon, calling back
the meanest things over his shoulder
at poor little Saxon!

I'm feeling so chatty, I guess I'll
just have to break down and tell you
about A. F. Howerton. My dear, she
and Al Capone are great buds! She
came back from the holidays alone in
the same car with Al and three body-
guards! Such nice manners as he had!
He didn't aim at her a single time.
And she had the temerity to refuse a
game of bridge and some good old im-
ported hooch, just because Al was
against her principles. Believe me, I'd
have drunk myself cock-eyed before
declining to carry out his slightest
wish. Just suppose he'd brought out
one of his little playthings!

And if Betty Bonham hasn't gone
and impressed a railroad man! (Alas!
He had other ties!) Betty was skip-
ping gaily down the tracks the other
day without a thing on her mind, when
down the track a bit she saw a most
engaging-looking soul walking toward

her. Crash! All of a sudden, the
tracks bent under her weight, and a
pain shot up her leg. You're entirely
right, she had pulled that old one about
a sprained ankle. After she had lain
there awhile more dead than alive, sure
enough, up trotted the tricky tramp
that Betty had fallen flat for, and
hoisted her home. Now isn't that a
nice train of thought? This railroad
travel is so interesting!

I declare, if it isn't one thing, it's
Margy Ellis. Her latest is talking I
should say singing, in her sleep. Not
long ago, her poor roommate Marty
awoke in the dead of night to the
strains of "We're Tenting Tonight On
the Old Camp Ground," issuing from
Margy's lusty lungs. And as if that
were not enough, Margy followed it up
with a novel improvisation entitled, "I
Stay on the Campus, because I'm a
Campus Girl!" Don't you burn with
pride and satisfaction to realize that
somebody has the good old school
spirit ?

And to continue in a nocturnal vein,
Giddy, I'm constrained to admit that
a good many people in Main were none
too pleasant humored the other night,
when they leaped into bed contentedly,
only to encounter another occupant,
which, on investigation, proved to be a
dead crayfish. Everybody's been so
touchy on biological subjects since, and
who wouldn't be, after sleeping all
night with swimmerets tickling their
legs and maxillae pinching their toes!

But Main is also sore on another
subject you might say they have a
bone to pull with Margy Ellis on the
subject of skeleton parties. Just ask
Margy. She's dying to pour the whole
sad tale into some ear preferably a
sympathetic one.

Heavens! Somebody put a quarter
instead of a nickel into the slot! I
must 'blow down!

Devotedly,

Aggie.

Princeton Frosh Prefer Marks to
Sports

Princeton University That fresh-
men at Princeton University prefer a
Phi Beta Kappa key to a varsity "P,"
consider beauty the most essential at-
tribute to the ideal girl, favor partici-
pation in extra-curricular activities
and come to Princeton primarily for an
education are facts revealed in the an-
nual questionnaire submitted to the
new men by The Daily Princetonian,
undergraduate newspaper.

In voting the Phi Beta Kappa key
more desirable than a major athletic
letter by a vote of 330 to 228, the
classmen of '34 reversed the decision
made by the 1933 group last year,
though following Princeton senior
classes, which for years have consist-
ently voted the scholastic award more
valuable than the athletic insignia.

A meagre 21 votes were cast nega-
tively regarding participation in extra-
curricular activities, while 553 men
voted "yes." The Princeton Triangle
Club, dramatic organization, apparent-
ly is considered the most worthwhile
activity, with 203 men signifying
their intention of competing for it.
Tennis came second with 161 votes,
while The Daily Princetonian ranked
third, with 138 votes.

In a class of 632 men, only 470 an-
swered the question "Do you drink?"
and 211 "no." Some 324 smoke, while
Of this number 259 answered "yes"
250 do not.

The university's name attracted
many, with 276 men stating that they
came to Princeton primarily to re-
ceive an education, though 232 came
because of "Princeton's name and repu-
tation." One hundred and thirty-six
listed "contacts and social advant-
ages," and 105 "family tradition."

Eighty-nine different answers were
received to the question "What quali-
ties do you consider essential in the
ideal girl?" Beauty led with 389 votes,
followed by brains with 282, personali-
ty 172 and good figure 121.

Football was favored overwhelming-
ly as the sport to watch, receiving 379
votes, almost five times as many as
hockey, which took second place. Base-
ball ranked fifth with only fifteen sup-
porters. Football rated second as the
most popular sport to play, tennis- lead-
ing by a wide margin of 122 votes.
Golf, hockey and baseball followed in
the order named.

Dallas, Texas. Swordsmanship is

his willingness to engage in a contest
with rapiers whenever called on to do
so by some person who feels disgrunt-

Freshman Class Weighs Total of
Eighteen Tons

Although they may be worth their
weight in gold to their families and

This estimate is based on the poten-
tial material in the human body for
the manufacture of glue, wax, ivory,
and bone-meal and the figures were
obtained by adding the combined
weight of the entire class which was
about eighteen tons.

The average freshman weighs 130.56
pounds, and is seventeen years, seven
months, twenty days, nine hours and
thrity-six minutes old.

Their combined ages total 3,705
years which is the equivalent of 37
centuries or three and a half Methuse-
lahs. The average height is five feet
eleven inches and if placed end to end
the class would reach a quarter of a
mile in any direction except towards
the library.

G. P. Kanes, tipping the scales at
239 pounds, is the largest, while C. F.
Crane with 102 and a half has the
least poundage. The oldest is L. M.
Burrows, 37, and the youngest is
Marvin Pierce, who is the class baby
with 15 years of worldly experience.
Ray Ohler with six feet three inches
is the nearest Freshman to heaven,
and C. F. Crane has the lowest chassis,
being five feet three and a half inches.

Out of the total number examined,
forty-nine were found to be without
physical defects, while 195 were re-
ported fit for athletics. The remaining
eight were designated as being fit for
limited activity.

Defective teeth led the list of physi-
cal defects, claiming 59. Twenty-eight
had diseased tonsils, and over seventy
belied the adage that "a growing boy
will eat anything but nails" by being
underweight. The most unusual mal-
ady reported was a disease contracted
by a quartet of Freshmen and which
when shorn of medical terminology
means "wax in the ears." A punster
is tempted to observe that these four
have been "Dancing with wax in their

STURGES COTTAGE WINS REWARD

OFFERED BY ATHLETIC ASS'N

Health Week Inaugurated
By Presentation of Cake
to Healthy Dormitory.

"Four points a day keeps the doctor
away" this chant of the Hottentots
through the past three weeks, and all
the rigid practice of Good Health that
has accompanied it has at last brought
us up to the grand climax of this great
annual epoch.

At last the curiosity of cake-hungry
mobs has been satiated! For Tuesday
morning chapel heralded the beginning
of Agnes' Health Week.

Of all the hundreds of girls who
sucked oceans and oceans of oranges,
tramped miles and miles of exercise,
checked off 3 or 4 square meals a day
and slumbered (nay even night-mar-
ed) over exams 7 out of every 24
hours, one small select, choice, diligent
and meticulous group, was faithful
unto the least of these four-point tasks
and netted the prize cake with no less
than one hundred (100) percent effi-
ciency. Let me name over the mem-
bers of this distinguished few in-
mates of the far-famed Sturges Cot-
tage: Floyd Foster, Andrewena Robin-
son, Olive Weeks, Elizabeth Thomp-
son, Jean Shaw, Margaret Deaver,
Jane Clark, Reba Hicks.

The nature of the cake presented so
attractively by Brown and her Heal-
thy Hottentos was such (notice "was")
as to delight the most fastidious of
tastes. A pure, delicate, shade of
white was the background icing.
Upon its shapely rectangular contour
were arranged in delicate design ex-
quisite figures in purple icing.

This comely creation was furnished
with compliments by the Clover Leaf
Bakery. We are grateful to the
Clover Leaf.

This new innovation of the cake
contest characterizes the originality
of the entire Health Week program
for this year.

The first announcement of the pro-
gram also at Tuesday morning
chapel was made by Miss Brown. At
the close of her skit attractively got-
ten-up mimeographed sheets were
passed out by Misses Sturdevant and
Ellis.

The events for the week ran as fol-
lows:

Tuesday afternoon was featured by
the ail-American Faculty-Varsity vol-
ley ball game. This was attended with
great excitement and interest by many
lovers of the volley.

Wednesday morning we had the
privilege of hearing Mr. William Mun-
dy in chapel. Mr. Mundy is the sports
writer for the Atlanta Journal and an-
nounces all games over the radio.

Tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, will
witness the beginning of the great an-
nual fight for the Brown Jug. Some
say there's nothing in this; neverthe-
less it is a great fight! We wonder
if anything so attractive as Rebekah
Scott's Turkish Towel Parade or
Lupton's Collegiates of last year,
can possibly evolve. It only remains
to be seen at 7:00 p. m. Thursday
night at the opening of the tournament
finals. At its close will be awarded
the Brown Jug to the winning sextet!

The crowning event of the week
takes place on Friday, February 13th
(woe! Oh bitterness of woe to the
superstitious!)

A huge fiesta, entitled the Healthy
Hottentot Hubbub, marks the temina-
tion of this exciting week.

Denishawn Dancers
Appear at Erlanger

Excellent Interpretation
Be Given Tonight.

to

The most important event of its kind
that has occurred in Atlanta in three
years takes place Wednesday night,
February 11. Ted Shawn and his
Denishawn Dancers appear at the Er-
langer, for one performance only.

These dancers have been in Europe
for several months and triumphed at
the third dance congress held at
Munich, Germany. Mr. Shawn and
his company bring many new and
startling dance creations to Atlanta.
A program containing about two dozen
dances is extraordinary in that, with
the exception of two, every dance is
new. These two are retained because
of their beauty and overwhelming
popularity on previous appearances
here.

One of our southern girls Ernes-
tine Day, of North Carolina is fea-
tured on the program this year. Miss
Ruth St. Denis, who has heretofore
danced opposite Mr. Shawn, has left
him and his company and retired from
the stage.

Bavarian, East India American In-
dian, Spanish, and many othed groups
of 4iances, make up the program.
Dances to the music of Brahms, De-
bussy, Reger, and Scriabine are in-
cluded. There is a sensational ensem-
ble of Nauch girl dances and an in-
teresting group to modern American
music. The company, including tech-
nicians, musicians, directods, and per-
formers, numbers sixty in all.

Mr. Shawn will repeat his triumph
in "Invocation to the Thunderbird," an
American Indian number to the music
of John Philip Sousa, and he will also
give his Orpheus dance that was the
sensation of last season in Europe.
Both of these dances ade well known
to hih audiences and are anticipated
with much pleasure.

Everyone interested in either the
dance or music should certainly see
the Denishawn Dancsrs. Tickets may
be obtained at the Erlanger Theater
before the performance, which starts
at 8:30 Wednesday night.

Carl Sandburg

Heard at Emory

Noted American Poet Gives
Lectures and Readings.

Carl Sandburg, the most thoroughly
American of our American poets, gave
a delightful lecture at Emory Uni-
versity Wednesday evening, February
4. Having announced his subject as
"Animals and Fools," he added that it
had no connection with what he was
going to say except that all of us were
animals, and, more gently, some of us
were fools. His personality is very
vivid and he captivated us from the
first with his keen sense of humor.

In addition to the multitudinous
definitions of poetry we already pos-
sess, he swamped us with thirty-eight
more very charming ones. He enum-
erated them for our convenience if we
forget the definitions, we shall at least
have the numbers. His qualities
which most impressed us, however,
were his virility and his utter sincer-
ity. His readings from the Phi Beta
Kappa poem, "Good Morning, Amer-
ica" represent his profound belief in
elemental America. His own reading
of his verse is most illuminating!

The Institute of Citizenship, which
is in session at Emory University this
week is presenting a varied and inter-
esting program on local, national and
international affairs.

This Institute was organized four
years ago for the purpose of stimulat-
ing a wider and more intelligent in-
terest in problems of public character.
The interest that has been aroused and
the practical results that have been
achieved by the three sessions that
have preceded this one have already
proved the value of the institute.

The chief topic for discussion at this
session is "Reorganization of State
Government in the South." The ques-
tion of taxation is receiving consider-
able attention, but in addition to these
topics, the Civil Service System in the
United States, problems of Central
Europe, the work of the League of Na-
tions, and various other topics are
being discussed by some of the coun-
try's leading authorities.

The discussions on state government
reorganization and taxation are being
lead by Judge O. A. Park, of Macon,
and Mr. R. C. Norman, Georgia Tax
Commissioner. Miss Jessie Dell, mem-
ber of the United States Civil Service
Commission, is holding a round table
on the United States Civil Service. The
problems of Cenral Europe are being-
discussed by Professor Francis Deak,
of Columbia University, a nephew of
the Francis Deak of nineteenth cen-
tury Austria-Hungary. Dr. Manley O.
Hudson, of the Harvard Law School, is
speaking on the work of the League
of Nations and general problems of
peace.

One feature of the program that has
been of particular interest was the de-
bate on: "Shall the South Follow the
East and Go Industrial?" which took
place February 11th. Dr. John Crowe
Ransom upheld agrarianism and Mr.
W. D. Anderson upheld industrialism.
Dr. Crowe is a co-author of "I'll Take
My Stand." Mr. Anderson is presi-
dent of the Bibb Manufacturing Com-
pany.

Dr. John Landesco, of the Universi-
ty of Chicago, by lecture and round
table discussions, is giving an interest-
ing account of the Chicago gangsters;
Dr. W. W. Alexander is leading the
discussions on race relations; Hon.
Richard B. Russell, Jr., governor-elect
of Georgia, and Hon. T. W. Gregory,
formerly Attorney-General of the
United States, are other participants
on the program.

Minneapolis Symphony

Orchestra Gives Concert

On Tuesday evening, February 10,
the music lovers of Atlanta were priv-
ileged to hear the Minneapolis Sym-
phony Orchestra in concert at the
Auditorium- Armory- This concert was
a gift from the Atlanta Music Club
and the Civic Music Association,
especially to students interested in
orchestral work. Complimentary tick-
ets were sent to the members of the
orchestras of all the junior and senior
high schools of Atlanta, and to music
students at Georgia Tech, Emory Uni-
versity, Oglethorpe University, and
Agnes Scott College.

Prof, Dieckmann
Presents Recital

Organ Concert to Be Given
Sunday, February 15.

Mr. C. W. Dieckmann, professor of
music at Agnes Scott College, will give
an organ recital in the college chapel
Sunday, February 15, at four o'clock.
He will be assisted by Miss Florence
Smith, violinist, who will be accompan-
ied by Miss Mary Catherine William-
son. Miss Smith will play Handel's
"Sonata in F Major" for violin and
piano, and two numbers with piano
and organ accompaniment: "Andante
Cantabile" from Tschaikowsky's
String Quartet, Opus 11, and "Medita-
tion" from the "Thais" of Massenet.
Mr. Dieckmann will play the follow-
ing numbers:

"Suite Gothique" Boellmann.

"Bells of Aberclovey" Stewart.

"Gavotte" Martini.

"Evening Star Paname" "Tann-
hauser" Wagner.

"Fanfare d'Orgue" Shelley.

During the week of February 3-8,
the college community enjoyed the
privilege of hearing Dr. William An-
derson, of Dallas, Texas, in a series of
very inspiring messages delivered
daily during the regular chapel hour.

On Tuesday morning, Dr. Ander-
son spoke on "How I Know the Bible
is the Word of God." "You notice,"
he said, "that I say 'How I know,' not
'Why I believe,' for I have no doubt
that the Bible is God's word as He
gave it to the world. There are three
reasons why I know first, because it
claims to be the word of God. No
prophecy of the Scripture is of any
private interpretation. For the proph-
ecy came not in old time by the will of
man; but holy men of God spoke as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The second reason is its history. To-
day it has a greater publication and
circulation, and it has always been
worth more, than any other book. You
can find no natural explanation for it.
It changes everything it touches. The
third reason is that I have seen it
work. There is something supernatural
about the Bible which no other book
has, and it is the only book which
satisfies the heart in time of sorrow.
It gives you faith something to hold
to, and if you go into life with it no-
thing can touch you."

The second talk was on "Who is
Jesus Christ?" The only authorita-
tive answer is to be found in the Bible.
Jesus is first the only person on
earth who has ever had a clear knowl-
edge of an existence which was his be-
fore birth. Jesus spoke simply of His
existence with the Father since the
beginning. Second, He is the person
to whom all prophecies pointed
through the ages. Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel all the Old Testament pro-
phets, living seven centuries before
Christ, said "When He comes you will
know Him by these things," and when
He did come, over two hundred pro-
phecies were fulfilled exactly in Him.
He is bound to be the one. Third, He
acclaims Himself to be the Son of God.
Fourth, He is the only person or way
by which man may have contact with
God, now or ever. God can't meet man
except at the cross. And lastly, He is
the person who with absolute certainty
satisfies the heart that trusts in Him.

On both Thursday and Friday, Dr.
Anderson talked on "Faith." Faith, he
stated, is not a complicated process, or
a "sublime deception." It is the most
common thing in the everyday rela-
tions of life a normal reaction trust,
and this same thing binds us to God.
What is it? Faith is "the substance
(title deed) of things hoped for, the
evidence (absolutely positive convic-
tion) of things not seen. Whence is
faith? Faith does not come by any
self-initiated process. It is the free
gift of God. How does it come? "So
then faith cometh by hearing (the
thing heard) and hearing by the word
of God (sentences spoken by God).

What does faith do? First by faith
we are saved. According to the Scrip-
ture, all men are lost and they are
saved only through faith. Faith takes
hold of all that God gives us. Until
after you are saved, a moral life and

Vox Populi

Agnes Scott is well known all over
the United States for her high scholas-
tic standing. The intellectual side of
the curriculum has been stressed
through the ages until an enviable rec-
ord in the academic circles has been
attained. But a most important phase
in the curriculum has been neglected
the social phase. It is necessary to
gain more emphasis on social life be-
fore Agnes Scott can advance further
in the educational world. The fore-
most colleges of America have found
that social activities are very neces-
sary to college life. Because of the
neglect of the development of social
life, Agnes Scott has the reputation in
many places as a place only for study-
ing. I know of many very attractive
and capable girls who refused to come
to Agnes Scott for this reason. Agnes
Scott is behind all the A-l colleges and
universities in her social development.
We need more supervised entertain-
ment on the campus. The girls who
are fortunate enough to know people
in Atlanta get their entertainment at
college and club dances and other
parties in Atlanta. A Senior confess-
ed to me the other day that she had
met only two young men the entire
four years she has been here. She
lives several hundred miles from here
and does not know any one in At-
lanta. If the college would sponsor in-
teresting entertainments on the cam-
pus, not so many girls would spend the
week-ends out. The students would
have a chance to know each other bet-
ter, stronger college spirit would de-
velop, and Agnes Scott would grow.
Without more emphasis on social life,
Agnes Scott will not develop as is de-
sirable. N.

EDITORIAL

"You can always tell a college woman," a business executive
once said, "but you can't tell her much." Perhaps that is true, but
it is not the altitude in which we, as Seniors, wish to approach
the question of what we are to do next year and, as for that mat-
ter, all the rest of our lives. We have been here four years. We
have acquired in that lime a bit of knowledge, a few assets, and a
certain number of liabilities. Now, what are we to do? The first
thing that suggests itself is the one occupation for which we are
definitely trained, and in which we can make from the first a fairly
good salary teaching. This is indeed an interesting and satisfying
profession lor those who are fitted by nature for it. But for those
of us who really cannot teach, and who contemplate doing so only
because we can think of nothing else, it may become true drudgery.
If we are interested, in that case, in finding something for which
we are better suited, we can look to many other professions and
occupations now open to women.

As to our qualifications for other positions, we might be inter-
ested in these lists of our assets and liabilities, lists compiled by a
business man who was expressing his desire for college-trained
women in his office. As liabilities of a college graduate he names
untidiness, sensitiveness, impracticality about money, and the
lack of any specific skill. As assets, however, he lists physical fit-
ness and the knowledge of how to keep it, a mind that is "executive
material," poise, good sportsmanship, and a certain idealism that
makes one enter a profession with an honest desire to serve as well
as with the ambition to make money. The college graduate, then,
has good qualities thai far outweigh any bad ones; and with these
she needs only the determination to persevere through the first
tVw trying months or years when college education seems to
count for naught. She will have to start, perhaps, in the low-
esl positions, but she will have the ability to rise far above people
of mediocre intelligence and education.

The college graduate is, therefore, by her very education,
fitted for many occupations. What are some of these? There is
the teaching profession, which is truly fascinating for those who
love it and are willing to give to it ; there is law ; there is business ;
there is medicine, there are the fine arts all fields to which women
are finding openings, and in which they can realize the fullest ex-
pression of their highest selves. To us as Seniors, the world has a
great deal to offer we ask much of life, but then we have much
to give. To accomplish this, howe\ . r. we must search diligently
for that vocation for which we are peculiarly suited, and finding
it. mi must be willing to be "stayers" as well as "starters."

There has, in the past few weeks,
been considerable criticism of the Tea
House on the campus, and so we
thought that we would go over there
and try to get at the bottom of the
situation. We sometimes wonder if
those of us, and really, there are none
but the Faculty who remember those
awful days, who have never known
what it was like here before the Tea
House was built, appreciate how for-
I tunate we are.

About eleven or twelve years ago,
the Alumnae Association was asked to
undertake the operation of a Tea
Room, so great was the need for some-
thing of that kind on the campus.
Therefore, a place was made for it in
the basement of Science Hall. This
place, with its literally hand-painted
furniture and decorations, was so suc-
cessful and popular from all points of
view, that, when the Science Depart-
ment begged for its basement back
again, it was felt that some place on
the campus should be set aside for the

Magazine Notes The World Todav

"Europe Looks at Sinclair Lewis''
(January Bookman) is an amusing
article by H. L. Binsse and J. J. Troun-
stine. Since the times of Marco Polo
and Mandeville, they inform us, peo-
ple have loved to believe tales of mon-
sters and goblins on the other side of
the world. One-eyed natives with
green hair have lost their appeal in
the scientific twentieth century, but
the modern European has joyfully
boiled Lewis' excellent automatons, his
clear-cut patterns which never exist-
ed any more than did such vital types
as Bill Sikes or Pantagruel and be-
lieved them to be real photographic re-
productions of the uncultured animal
to whom the European owes so much
money.

"Lydia Pinkham," by R. C. Wash-
burn in the February American Mer-
cury reads like an American Magazine
success story. It describes the pathetic-
struggles of the Pinkham family when
they "sweated their life's blood and
staked their all" for the promotion of
the elixir which has brought millions
to their descendants. There are inter-
esting letters from Dan Pinkham when
he went without food and warm cloth-
ing to give out handbills all over the
east. His only complaint was that his
shabby appearance prevented him
from hearing the sermons of Henry
Ward Beecher. The essay contains a
study of the personality of the woman
herself whose psychological advertis-
ing made so famous "the face that
God, and the name her husband, gave
her." Mrs. Pinkham firmly believed
in the efficacy of her potion and final-
ly conceived the hysterical idea that
she was the savior of her sex. Mr.
Washburn brings out her connection
with the feminist movement and the
controversies over slavery, bloomers,
free love, free silver, homeopathy,
suffrage, phrenology, and Christian
Science. The quotations from her early
manifestos on "the emergence of
woman" and her caustic feminist as-
sertions sound horribly like grotesque
doggerel translations of Euripides.

"Salvation by Intuition" (Winter
Yale Review) is the unpromising title
of an excellent essay by Katherine
Geroued, who after sarcastically at-
tacking the new humanists proceeds to
discuss most humanistically the at-
tempt of the modern individual to ex-

Tea Room. One of the Alumnae sug-
gested that if a cottage could be pro-' plain and J ustif y the world and its

vided where the Alumnae might come
and feel at home on the campus, and
which could at the same time house the
Tea Room, the situation w r ould be
ideal. So the Alumnae Association,
with the Board of Trustees, built, in
1921, the present Alumnae House. Its
value to the social life of the campus
has been untold and when we try to
realize what it must have been like
here when there was no place where
students could drop in at almost any
hour of the day for a sandwich and
1 1 rink, or u h. re they could plan for a
small luncheon or dinner for friends
and relatives on and off the campus,
we cannot even imagine the life of
such pre-civilization times.

Agnes Scott College was the first
College in the United States to own
an Alumnae House. It is the one thing
that our Alumnae Secretary is in-
variably asked to tell about at con-
ferences. In a recent issue of the
Smith College Alumnae Quarterly, the
picture of our house with those of
four others, Vassar, Wellesley, Mount
Holyoke, and Goucher, the sum total
of Alumnae Houses in the college
world, was published, with the story
of each house and what it means to the
campus and alumnae. Smith is en-
deavoring to follow in our footsteps.
Visitors from other colleges to our
campus always remark on the charm
of our Alumnae House. If outsiders
can compliment it, we can too!

ancient woes without "the much tout-
ed beauty of nature," "the only less
touted beauty of art," and the mumbo
jumbo of outworn creeds.

"Talented Memories" in the Febru-
ary Atlantic- is William Rothenstein's
own account of his life in Paris as a
young man. His memoirs are con-
cerned with many of his friends, in-
cluding Verlaine, Wilde, Beerbohm,
Whistler, Daudet and Zola.

The plan for a European Federation,
strained Anglo-Indian and Franco-
Italian relations, agitation for revision
of the peace treaty, the question of
dis-armament, and general economic
and political unrest have characterized
European affairs for several months
now.

Anglo-Indian Relations

In the present state of Anglo-Indian
affairs it has been agreed that India's
43,000,000 Untouchables shall have
political equality with other castes in
India; that the Province of Burma
with 13,000,000 inhabitants shall be
separated from India; and that a fed-
eral constitution shall be drafted for
India modeled on the general lines of
the United States Constitution. In the
new plan for Indian government
dyarchy seems doomed. Viscount Wil-
lingdon has been appointed to succeed
Lord Irwin as Viceroy.

1 disarmament

One of the most significant actions
of the Preparatory Commission on Dis-
armament which met recently was the
unanimous proposal for an interna-
tional committee to collect, collate,
and disseminate information on arm-
aments "with a view to insuring ob-
servance of the convention and of safe-
guarding peace."

Since the opening of the new year
President Hoover has proclaimed the
naval pact to be in effect between the
United States, Great Britain, and
Japan.

South America

At present Peru, Bolivia, Argentina,
and Brazil, are ruled by successful
revolutionary groups. Bolivia took the
first step toward the restoration of
constitutional government in her re-
cent national elections. The problems
of the maintenance of order, econ-
omy, and efficiency face the executives

Unemployment in the 1. S.

The January report of Colonel
Arthur Woods to the Senate Appro-

Dear "Bubbling-Over."

I can tell from the outset that I'm
going to succumb to that old-fash-
ioned valentiney feeling and talk about
love and hearts and things, and bore
ole worldly-wise you, but a hard-work-
ing, heavy-laden, practice-teaching
somebody like me with no more hefty
designs for the future than a fourth
grade of tow-headed, snaggle-toothed
boys, just feels like that, so all aboard.

One of the most romantic things
that has happened to anybody I know
(counting even Margie, Douschka, and
Martie) is that S. A. E. at Emory fall-
ing in love with Jennie Sweeny's pic-
ture in the paper. He did really, and
framed it, and looked at it 'till he
couldn't stand it any longer. Then he
called her up, explained the situation,
and asked her for a' dinner-date, and
of course Jennie couldn't let that go
by, and when he saw her, he fell flat-
ter'n my pocketbook, and has been
camping on White House steps ever
since! Don't you think power like
that ought to be banned by law? Or
at least she ought to capitalize it and
furnish the town with light, heat, and
energy. And so should Penny. Not
only are there the one and only N,
and that good looking blonde whose
name I believe is Bob (no, not Jean's),
but I hear that an entire fraternity
caters to her every wish. And Giddy,
she's honor roll and everything too.
Wonder how she manages it? I'd like
to know because that takes away my
excuse that boys never do like smart
girls. Ha!

Except that I imagine Dr. Anderson
did when he was a-wooing. Giddy, you

never could imagine what an over-
whelming hit that man did make on
the Agnes Scott campus. Why the
whole school just sat up and took
notice. From the first morning when,
as the world's very best organ spoke
out of turn, he reassuringly said "I'm
not going to sing," every last girl was
made. And how they flocked for con-
ferences with him. I couldn't even get
one, he was so popular. He had the
nicest voice and smile and spats! One
Luptonite was all for consulting him
about a love affair. "He's so under-
standing-like," she confided. I don't
know whether she went or not, but if
she did I know she found out exactly
the thing to do for he looks experi-
enced.

Little Frances Duke says she doesn't
need advice. And judging from her
page in the register book, I don't think
so either. She's different in being able
to manage rivals from Tech and
Emory at the same time. I saw her
up town the other day looking for a
dress to wear in the figure at the Tech
Pan-Hellenic this year. Sarah Lane
went up to Davidson's Mid-Winter af-
fair last week-end. Julia Rowan was
going, but her Big Brunette Beta de-
cided to come down here. He's so
goodlooking and oh what a peach
of a pair! Oh, Giddy, I want a love
affair, and I want one what ain't a
plain everyday one either, I want a
thrilling one like Marion Fielder's and
Jane Bailey Hall's, I want I want
oh, well, at least I'm always found
wanting. But I insist that I mean
well for here I go sending you

THE AGONISTIC

Openings in Physical Ed. for
College Graduates.

Do you love to swim ? Do you get
a great thrill out of a non-stop flight
down the hockey-field on a breath-
taking afternoon in October? Do you
ever lie awake nights (or on the street
car!) thinking how you might outwit
a hefty guard with a clever pass in
the next basketball game? Or does
your heart give a jump of ecstacy
when you hear some perfectly bewitch-
ing music that only needs an ac-
companiment of dance to make it com-
plete!

If you feel any or all of these things,
it may be possible that your future
will be teaching other people to enjoy
as you have known how to enjoy.

There is a great big field in Physical
Education for getting across to people
all sorts of values aside from handling
one's body gracefully oiv achieving dis-
tinction in a sport. You may be one
who will fit into that field in a very
definite and important way.

Think on these things, Sophs, who
are just contemplating your majors
or Seniors who are wondering just
where your best ability lies and what
your graduate work will be!

There are two ways of getting a de-
gree in Physical Education:

1. There is the undergraduate
school where a major in P. C. is offer-
ed along with academic courses work-
ing toward a B. S. degree.

2. There is the graduate school of
P. E.

Briefly of the first kind Winthrop,
U. of Fla., Florida State, Peabody, of-
fer very excellent work for those who
feel that they cannot possibly afford
the time and money to get more of an
educational background before special-
izing.

2. Outstanding among the graduate
schools that offer work for those who
have completed a B. S. or B. A. de- j
gree are Wellesley, Wisconsin, Teach-
ers' College, Columbia University.

For those who expect to continue in
P. E. after an A. B. the following
c ourses are suggested as a back-
n.und:

Biology.

Comparative Anatomy.

Physiology.

Chemistry.

Physics.

Courses in Education.

In most colleges now, the Depart-
ment of P. E. gives classes in which a
girl can take tin- theory of the differ-
ent sports and do assistant teaching
while in college.

Camp positions, hockey, tennis, life-
saving are steps that help greatly
along the way. For those more in-
terested in dancing, music apprecia-
tion, history of music, and dramatics
may help.

It is not always the person who is
the best swimmer or tennis player
who makes the best teacher, but what

JUNIORS DEFEAT SENIORS AT
BASKETBALL

The basketball game between
Juniors and Seniors Friday night was
a regular circus. The little brown ball
hurdled in perfect form right down
the Seniors line to Chopin and into
the goal like Ponto himself. Then came
Jean, as the trained seal, bouncing the
ball on her nose. Chopin was the jump-
ing-jack. Kitty Purdie, Jean Grey
and Mary Schlich were the acrobats:
Kitty doing a back somersault, Jean
and May a double one in better form
than Miss Sinclair's own prize pupils
could have done. Both teams jumped,
and caught, and threw (especially La-
Myra Kane, who didn't miss a single
one of her foul shots), with the skill
and accuracy of professional trapeze
actors. But every circus ends with a
wild west show and this was no ex-
ception. All the players fought like
the bravest of cowboys and though the
Seniors fought hard, Susan Glenn was
successful in biting out a piece of Kay
Morrows' chin and mounting the final
score of the Juniors to 50-37.

Line-up:

an asset and how much easier it is
to know the fundamentals of what
you're teaching, and why you're teach-
ing them. So granted an opportunity
to perfect your ability take advant-
age of that while you're in college!

If you're thinking seriously of con-
tinuing in Physical Education, now is
the time to put in every effort to make
your preparation the very best and
most well-rounded study. Talk to those
most interested and informed. They
can help you to determine the best
course to take.

FROSH AND SOPHS TIE IN
BASKETBALL

Though the Frosh-Soph game was
not so much of a circus, it was an even
better game. Lucile Heath proved
herself more graceful than ever as she
jumped high off the floor and picked
the ball right out of the air. Nancy
Rogers did some pretty jumping too,
and annoyed the Sophs by intercept-
ing their passes time after time.
Sturdy and Maude were worthy of
their names: the one sturdy and steady
enough to be always counted on, and
the other with an arm strong enough
to let nothing pass. Eleanor Hamil-
ton must have said "hocus pocus"
every time she twirled herself around
and every time she looked like she
was going to sit down but jumped up
quickly and tossed the ball for it al-
ways went in. If Porter Cowles once
got the ball all she had to do was to
stretch out that long arm of hers and
the ball would roll down into the goal.
Spivey and Shuessler were as quick
as lightning, and all the rest played as
they never played before especially
during that last minute, when the
score was 26-26 and everybody was
breathless with excitement.

Riding to be Featured

During Spring Term

The spring season of sports is to be
featured this year by special classes in
horseback riding. This good news will
be definitely heralded with the com-
pletion of a riding ring down beyond
the May Day dell. In the riding ring
will be held classes for beginners, in
gaits, mounting, dismounting, and gen-
eral good horsemanship. The ad-
vanced riders will still have the regu-
lar hour-trips aside from any class in-
s1 ruction.

Write home now for your money.
You'll want to take riding! It's one
of the oldest and greatest sports. And
think of this! Spring coming on a
beautiful sunny afternoon! A deep
woody bridle path and a horse!

Seniors and Sophs

Win at Water Polo

The Lupton Rooters were doing an
excessive amount of yelling. Evident-
ly the Juniors were up to something.
II aid splashes, cries, choking gurgles,
sharp piercing sounds interspersing
th?se oh referee's whistle. Yeah,
they were up against it. (Meaning the
Juniors and then again the Seniors
who tried to pass the entire Nor-
Fleet) Pardon puns please.

Anyhow, the first half yielded two
for the Seniors. Then Smith did some
unsurpassed guarding at the Junior
goal. Hill and Thompson for Seniors
used the utmost of Virginia wits to
shove the ball between the Octopus-
sian arms to no avail!

The Juniors scored! Woe Seniors!
No! Game closed 2 to 1 in favor of
the Seen-to-be-Vacation-Seekers. May
their ghastly experiences on the water-
polo field be of great use to them when
they encounter the cruel Sea of Life!

The Fresh-Soph game was equally
exciting up to the last half. McMul-
len, guarding for Freshmen, was an
equal match for Lingle during the
first half. White enjoying her first
experience as goal guard did some
beautiful work at the post. Castle as
center was able to get the tip off at
once toss-up. Hurray for little Cassels!
The second half marked an increased
zeal on the part of the Sophs. With
their accustomed power they swiftly
overtook their lesser opponents and
with masterful stroke Lingle rolled up
the score for her compatriots and left
the game 5-3.

Their Yesterdays

Cheer up! Whether you're sending
your friends postcard pictures of the
walled city of Carcassonne next year,
or riding around the country in a
buggy selling lightning rods, you will
probably wind up as a college profes-
sor. Our own dear instructors did not
always pass their days in grading term
papers and dodging bootlicks. Indeed,
their turning to their own particular
branch of pedagogy was in many cases
only a matter of the merest chance.

Dr. Davidson began his colorful ca-
reer as a banker. But as his wonder-
ful sense of current events and his
feeling for historical movements,
caused him to foresee the unemploy-
ment of bank clerks in 1931, he retired
from his money cage to enter the field
of education.

Miss Crowe worked in the book de-
partment at Davison-Paxon's and was
later a personnel director at Rich's.
Finally, her desire for social gaiety
caused her to return to the campus
where she had dissipated in her youth.

Miss Harn wanted to be a trained
nurse, but started teaching in high
school and decided that pill bottles
and little white caps were not to be
compared with German verbs and a
gold tassel.

Miss Sinclair's first job was teach-
ing the second grade "high, high, high
up in the hills."

Dr. Hayes taught at Robert College
in Constantinople and spent his vaca-
tion roving around the Hellespont in
an obsolete Turkish battleship.

Miss Haynes did social work in a
mill town and was a great success, ex-
cept for her one mistake in teaching
the children to crochet backwards.

Miss Lillian Smith first taught Latin
at the Mt. Hermon school for boys,
where her students were so inspired
by the Latin Pastorals that they
brought her apples and partridges.

Miss Jackson's earliest ambition was
*to be a doctor, but her family side-
tracked her by inducing her to major
English and History. After she grad-
uated from college, she taught Eng-
lish for two years; but when we enter-
ed the war, she forsook pedagogy alto-

gether to dole out coal to the Boston-
ians. To avoid comment as a feminine
fueller, she used the name "E. Fuller
Jackson" throughout the troublesome
times.

Dr. Robinson first taught at Texas
A. & M., the school described in chapel
by Dr. Anderson as the roughest and
most hard-boiled school in the country.
Imagine the change for him now
among the sweet and simple competi-
tors for the Hopkins Jewel!

Miss Alexander began her career by
teaching math at the Institute.

Miss Florence Smith taught in a
fishing village the year after she grad-
uated from college. It is rumored
that she began work on her Master's
largely to escape the smell of spoiled
salmon and limburger cheese.

Miss Leatherman lived a life of
frivolity for five years after college,
but one day while passing a library
with a group of lilies of the field, she
realized what was her true vocation.

We need not remark that Mr. Tart
was a banker.

Dr. Sweet's first case presented the
problem of reporting to a German im-
migrant the arrival of his twin off-
spring. "Mein Gott!" he shouted at
her, "I knew we'd get in trouble if
we had a woman doctor!" It was this
which made Dr. Sweet decide to prac-
tice at a girls' school.

Our Tomorrows

Why did woman have to emerge
from the home? If she had just had
the foresight to recognize what a
cinch she had, and had stayed at home
with her crocheting and fainting
spells, the class of '31 would not now
be faced with the problem of earning
a living in an unemploying world. We
have our plans, though, castles in
Spain, and furnished rooms, cottages
filled with love and cheese and trick
desks that turn into a kitchen stove if
you press the button back of the col-
lapsible bureau and graduate schools.
Some of the Seniors actually have
jobs, and everyone has ideas.

Our intellectual Miss Julia Thomp-
son, is going to spend next winter
at a finishing school in Richmond
coaching dramatics taking phone calls,
chaperoning, riding horseback and
teaching on the side.

Adele Arbuckle, Laura Brown and
Kitty Purdie say they are going to
work in the Congressional library and
have an apartment in Washington
where they will entertain Senators and
the like. All the Senators we know
are fat men with even fatter wives,
but we wish them luck in their con-
gressional orgies.

Katherine Morrow wants to marry a
red-headed man in order to see if the
Mendelian law works the way it does
in the charts.

Poor Myra Jervey's life has been
blighted by the dollar mark. All the
vocations she has really craved such
as an ostrich farm in Africa and avia-
tion require capital. These disap-
pointments have embittered her and
made her absolutely mercenary. Un-
like the rest of the Seniors, she is not
entering a profession for service to
mankind but solely for the money.

It was impossible to gain much in-
formation from Marjorie Daniels, as
we accosted her in the library and
were constantly interrupted by mem-
bers of the faculty who wanted her to
find books for them. Between searches,
however, we caught a few ecstatic
phrases about the University of Chi-
cago and the "Southwest before 1800."

Knowing Weesa's histrionic ability
we supposed she was planning to dis-
play it, and suggested to her such
parts as A Dog Howling on the Op-
posite Shore or A Noise Without. But
acting, she has decided, would be too
strenuous, and she has therefore ac-
cepted a position as a mattress tester.

Marguerite Gerard does not know
what she is going to do, and as for
what she wants "my suppressed de-
sires are suppressed," she said.

We found Chopin in the act of shear-
ing the locks of one of the Freshmen,
but her aspirations were not at all
tonsorial. "Unlike the rest of you,"
she said, viciously clicking the scissors
in the poor girl's ears, "I really want
to teach. I love to see the little things
grow and develop." Just then the
Freshman set up a howl because a
small triangle had been cut out of
her neck, and we left, wondering
whether the "little things" were her
pupils or the biological lab speci-
mens.

All the other members of the Senior
class gave us a glance of colossal
scorn and said "Obviously, I want to
get married, but I've got to teach. Do
you take practice teaching? It takes
up all my mornings and ..."

Alumnae Today

"Doctor, lawyer, merchant," or
school teacher? The versatile Agnes
Scott Alumnae have chosen many
different fields of work, as shown by
an article in the recent Alumnae
Quarterly.

Teaching is a field we almost all en-
ter at some time in our lives. Mary
Barker, '00, is a splendid representa-
tive of our hundreds of teachers, as
she has been again elected as head of
the American Federation of Teachers.

We find many authors. Rosa Belle
Knox of the class of 1899, has just
published 'The Boys and Sally," which
has won much favorable comment as
a story of southern life lor children;
Janef Preston, '21, and Helen T.
Moore, ex-'18, have achieved awards in
poetry field and Margaret (Bland)
Sewell, '20, is one of our playwriters.

Among our librarians, Tommie Dora
Barker, ex '10, has won prominence,
having been recently appointed as
regional field secretary of the Ameri-
can Library Association for the South;
while Lillian (Baker) Griggs, '97, is
secretary and director of the Library
Commission of North Carolina.

Ruth (Slack) Smith, '12, is dean of
women at Duke University, while
Ellen Palmer (Pratt) Rhodes, ex-'97,
holds that position at the University
of Georgia.

Among those interested in medicine
and health are: Caroline Randolph,
'18, technical assistant in the State
Health Department at Nashville,
Tenn.; Dorothy Moorehouse, ex-'18,
superintendent of the Ophthalmic Hos-
pital of Cincinnati, Ohio;

Among our newspaper women,
Martha Lin Manly, '25, is one who has
been true to this profession since her
graduation; Fan-is Davis edits a mag-
azine, and Anna (Colquit) Hunter
edits the book reviews for the Savan-
nah Press.

In the realm of advertisers, we find
Myra (Scott) Eastman, '18, a part-
ner in the advertising firm of East-
man, Scott and Co., in Atlanta. The
corps of the advertising departments
of Davison-Paxon's and Rich's in At-
lanta read like a class roll of Agnes
Scott of any recent year.

Many alumnae have entered the
business world. Katherine Reid ranks
high as a trainer of business people,
being president of Crichton's Business
College in Atlanta.

An unusual work is that being done
by Bess McConnell, ex '19, as consult-
ing decorator for eastern hotels of
United Realties Co., including Grove
Park Inn at Asheville, N. C, Ward-
man Park and Carlton, Washington,
D. C.

THE AGONISTIC

DR. WILLIAM ANDERSON SPEAKS
ON VITAL CHRISTIAN PROBLEMS

(Continued from page 1)
good works are of no avail; faith alone
counts. Next, "we have boldness and
access with confidence by the faith of
Him." Faith gives us the boldness to
come to God and talk to Him with
something of the same love and rever-
ent familiarity which we hold for our
earthly father. Lastly, we are "kept
by the power of God through faith
unto salvation." Faith keeps us safe
in God, and nothing is worthwhile until
we get that settled. Have faith, for
without it you can't live, you can't
please God.

Saturday morning, Dr. Anderson
presented "The Challenge of Christ."
Jesus asked His disciples, "Whom do
men say that I am?" and it is neces-
sary for everyone to answer this ques-
tion for himself. Jesus is the sep-
arating element of the world for
groups are separated from one another
on the basis of their relation to Christ.

Jesus' challenge to mankind is four-
fold. He presents an inescapable chal-
lenge to the mind. Washington, Na-
poleon, Wilson all these are great
men were gifted above men. We re-
joice that they have lived but always
they are only men, human as we are.
They impress but do not challenge us.
Then we see this low Carpenter of
Galilee and we know that we must ex-
plain this Man recognize His chal-
lenge. We cannot be honest with life
until we have explained Jesus Christ
from the picture or bowed ourselves
before Him.

Jesus' challenge is to the heart. His
scarred hand is knocking at the door
of every man's heart. By His death He
purchased the right of entrance. Dr.
Truett has said, "These hands are not
my hands; they are Christ's: let me be
careful what I handle with Christ's
hands. These ears are not my ears;
they are Christ's: let me be careful
what I hear with Christ's ears. This
mouth is not my mouth; it is Christ's:
let me be careful what I say with
Christ's mouth. This heart is not my
heart; it is Christ's: let me be careful
whom I love with Christ's heart.

Jesus' challenge is to faith, and last-
ly, Jesus' challenge is to life. Life
holds the most wonderful possibilities!
It is the most wonderful thing ahead
of you. What better could you do
with it than to turn it over to God?

On Sunday night at the vesper serv-
ice, Dr. Anderson brought the series
to a close with a talk on "Prayer."
Prayer is the most beautiful privilege
man has. It is the only way to solve
problems, and it opens to us all the
resources of God. Prayer is the thing
in which God has commanded us to
engage, whether we understand it or
not. Moreover, it is the privilege of
a saved man in relation to God, for
only a saved man can pray.

We may have a problem. The ques-
tion is how can I pray about it?
First, you can't pray about it until
you are willing to take your hands off
of it and leave it to God. Morever,
you come in Jesus' name. This is not
a catch phrase which you must add to
the end of your prayer so quickly
thai God has no time to think and re-
fuse. It means that every saved per-
son has the same rights in the pres-

VOX POPULI

(Continued from page 2)
As we mentioned before, there has,
of late, been considerable criticism of
the Tea House on the Campus. Very
little of it has been constructive in na-
ture. There has, however, been criti-
cism off of the campus which we
think should be brought to the notice
of the student body. This concerns our
habit of going to the Tea House at
ten o'clock in pajamas. When Mr.
Buttrick was here the students had to
be met at the door at that hour and
turned back because he wished to come
to the Tea Room and they were not
presentably dressed. The Tea room is
not open at night to the public, but
it is open to the guests of the House.
We, and a good many other people,
feel that the best impression is not
made upon visitors when such embar-
rassing situations occur. It seems
rather undignified for girls who have,
supposedly, reached years of discre-
tion when they come to college, to be
running around the campus at night in
pajamas.

The spirit of the Tea House has
always been one of co-operation and
pleasantness. The maids are paid
sufficiently so that we do not feel it
necessary to tip. The meals are al-
ways carefully planned, well prepared
and served. And now, for our further
convenience, a committee is being
formed similar to the food commit-
tees in the dining rooms to which all
complaints may be made. This com-
mittee will confer with the Alumnae
Committee, and the House will en-
deavor in every way to conform to the
wishes of the students. Therefore, if
they can be that accommodating, we
can too! Hereafter, let us realize how
fortunate we are in having an organi-
zation of this sort on the campus and
until we can give constructive criti-
cism, say nothing, or, if we must
speak, let's boost!

ence of God that Jesus has. Third,
you ask for whatever you want. There
is not a thing in your life which you
should not bring to God regularly. You
are His child and should ask Him as
a little child asks for something from
his father. Lastly Be content with
what God decides, whether it satisfies
you or not. It is hard and if He de-
cides against your wish, it is a test of
the reality of it.

The Capitol Theater inaugurates a
new policy this week, starting Satur-
day, of a tremendously big, colorful
and unusual stage presentation, called
the "International Revue," presented
by A. B. Marcus, who brings to At-
lanta a company of seventy-five
people, including some of the highest
class principals on the modern stage.
It is said that the Marcus company
will bring to the city one of the best
dressed aggregations of show talent
ever seen in the south, and the com-
pany will remain here four weeks,
presenting a new show each Saturday.
Among the principals are Elmer
Couty, a leading man with good looks
and versatility; Faye Hammond, a
comedian well known in Atlanta for
having played here a couple of years
ago in the company which appeared at
the Capitol; Miss Bessie Singleterry,
the prima donna, a New Orleans girl,
who will, after her engagement here,
go to Universal City to make a pic-
ture for Universal, with Conrad Nagel.

The feature picture that will start
with the new policy Saturday is
"Resurrection," Tolstoy's great story,
featuring John Boles as Dmitri and
Lupe Velez as Katusha. This is said
to be one of the best pictures these
two have eevr worked in, and the
popularity of the two is bound to be
enhanced by their work in these diffi-
cult parts.

The new policy at the Capitol will
be inaugurated with a premiere show-
ing Friday evening at 8:45, at which
a limited number of seats will be sold.

Exchanges

According to one of the deans at the
University of Nebraska, love, dumb-
ness and faculty intelligence are the
reasons for freshmen flunking out in
college. The Technique.

(Editor's note: The average fresh-
man would tell you that it is hatred,
envy and faculty dumbness, however.)

"Companionate engagements" are
the latest fad at Ohio State Universi-
ty. The plan is for boys and girls to
become engaged, the boy pinning his
frat pin on the co-ed. Then each is
free to have dates with everyone else,
just so he or she is available to the
other for the important events on the
campus, or for such other little events
as one or the other may desire from
time to time. All of which leads one
to believe that the little events are the
things that really count.

NEW PHI BETA KAPPA MEMBERS ANNOUNCED

Robinson, Morrow,
Thompson, Simpson
Admitted Saturday

History of Local Chapter
Described by Dr. McCain
at Chapel Service.

Announcement was made of the ad-
mittance of four members of the
Senior class to Phi Beta Kappa by-
Mr. Stukes in chpel Saturday morning,
February 14.

After the processional and invoca-
tion, Dr. McCain mentioned the unique
manner in which Agnes Scott obtained
her chapter, for she was the first in-
sttution under the new system of ad-
mittance ever invited to establish a
chapter.

Following Dr. McCain, Mr. Stukes
reviewed the essential qualifications
for membership in Phi Beta Kappa
scholarship, fratenity, integrity, and
loyalty. "There must be above all high
and sound schoarship. It is more than
grades, for grades are a poor index of
individual intelligence. Scholarship,
as can best be defined, is the intangible
ability to reach out for and to apply
information. The realization of one's
own limitations leads toward the zeal
to learn, grasp, and understand more
of the fundamental principles of life.

Fraternity is the second great ideal.
It is that development of the individ-
ual which will lead him to be mindful
of the social laws, and which will make
him willing to abide by them by ad-
justing himself to live in a group.

Furthermore, there must be an ac-
ceptance of moral principles, sacred to
society. Integrity of character is the
ability to abide by the standards of
honor, justice, and truth.

And, finally, there is loyalty not
only loyalty to truth, loyalty to one's
fellowman, and loyalty to one's self,
but also loyalty to one's institution.

The Phi Beta Kappa Society was
established in 1776 at William and
Mary College. It is the oldest scholas-
tic and collegiate fraternity in the
world. There are at present 107 chap-
ters, only eleven of which are in
women's colleges.

Mr. Stukes concluded his talk by
announcing the names of the four new
members, Katherine Morrow, Laura
Robinson, Elizabeth Simpson and
Julia Thompson.

Founders Day to Be
Celebration Monday

Traditional Banquet and
Minuet Will Mark Event.

Plans for Contest
Made byGlee Club

Selections from "Pinafore"
to Appear on Program.

There is a very interesting possibil-
ity being discussed by the Agnes
Scott Glee Club. Mrs. Johnson is
seriously considering working up the
choruses of the first act of "Pinafore"
for the Spring Concert. Everyone is
familiar with this charming Gilbert
and Sullivan Opera, and we feel sure
that no one could work it out more
delightfully than Mrs. Johnson. And
not only that, but the Glee Club, as-
sisted by Mr. Johnson's students, may
render the complete opera next fall.
Therefore, it is with the keenest an-
ticipation that we look forward to the
Spring Concert, for the success of that
decides the other. Let us all turn out
to hear the trials of Jack Rackstraw
and the Tars so that they may be
brought to a happy conclusion in the
Fall.

Founder's Day is one of the really
important celebrations at Agnes Scott.
This year the twenty-second comes on
Sunday and on that account the time-
honored alumnae program will be
given over the radio Saturday night,
February 21. In this program Miss
Hopkins will speak to the alumnae, the
Glee Club will sing and Penelope
Brown will talk on the differences
which Agnes Scott in the past shows
in comparison with Agnes Scott in the
present.

A basketball game will be played
the morning of the twenty-third be-
tween the Odds and the Evens.

At dinner Monday night, the Seniors
will dress in period costumes as is
customary and Rebekah and White
House dining rooms will be very fes-
tive with powdered wigs and flowered
crinoline.

The following people will represent
historical characters in the two dining
rooms:

White House:

George Washington Shirley Mc-
Phaul.

Martha Washington Martha Tower.
Betsy Ross Marian Lee.
Patrick Henry Mildred McCalip.
Lafayette Julia Rowan.
Daniel Boone Martha North Wat-
son.

Benjamin Franklin Christian Hen-
derson.

Thomas Jefferson Martha Sprinkle.
Rebekah:

George Washington Ellen Davis.

Martha Washington Adele Ar-
buckle.

Betsy Ross Elise Jones.

Patrick Henry Nancy Crockett.

Lafayette Marguerite Gerard.

Daniel Boone Chopin Hudson.

Benjamin Franklin Jean Grey.

Thomas Jefferson Ruth McAuliffe.

After dinner a group of Seniors will
dance the minuet in the gym. The
day's celebration will close with a gen-
eral dance for everybody.

Ga. Academy of

Science Meets

Two Members of Agnes
Scott Faculty Admitted.

Two of Agnes Scott's faculty, Miss
Howson, and Dr. Robinson, were ad-
mitted to the Georgia Academy of
Science at the recent meeting in Ma-
con on Friday and Saturday, Febru-
ary 13 and 14. Miss MacDougall, the
retiring president, spoke about "Some
Higher Values of Science Study" at
luncheon Friday and during the meet-
ing presented a paper on "Inheri-
tance in the Tailed Form of Chilodon
Uncinatus," showing the application of
the Mendelian law in this form of
protozoa. Miss Howson spoke on "The
Temperature Effect on the Reflecting
Power of Platinum," and Dr. Robin-
son's paper was entitled "A Problem
of Regions." Many from Agnes
Scott attended the meetings of the
academy which were held this year at
Wesleyan College in Macon.

first-hand account of Admiral Richard
Evelyn Byrd's epic airplane flight over
Antarctic wastes to the South Pole.

The famous explorer will tell his own
story of Little America and the Byrd
Antarctic Expedition in the gymnas-
ium next week, Thursday, February
26, at 2:30 p. in., showing in conjunc-
tion with his lecture 9,000 feet of mo-
tion pictures taken on the expedition.
These films, which have been assem-
bled under the personal direction of
Admiral Byrd, tell a highly colorful
story of the Antarctic, and are thor-
oughly different from the pictures re-
cently exhibited in theaters through-
out the country.

Coming as the final lecturer in the
series presented this season by the
Agnes Scott Lecture Association, of
which Miss Catherine Torrance is
chairman, the noted naval commander
will arrive in Atlanta the morning of
the 26th, stopping at the Robert Ful-
ton hotel. He will immediately receive
newspaper men for a short time, after
which he will be the guest of the Col-
lege for the remainder of the day.

In the afternoon, following the lec-
ture, it is planned to have a reception
or some social function at which the
public may meet the renowned visitor.
Definite plans for this affair will be
announced early next week.

Admiral Byrd is now on a nation-
wide lecture tour, and is swinging to-
ward the Southeast on his way to At-
lanta. He is being presented here
through the Pond Bureau, of New
York, with Captain H. H. Railey as
his personal manager on the tour. The
Admiral will also make an appearance
in Atlanta while here, but his engage-
ment at Agnes Scott has no connec-
( Continued on page 6)

Laura Brown spoke in Y. W. C. A.
Vespers Sunday evening on "Advent-
ures in Friendship." Because of the
numerous requests the talk is printed
in full.

"College ties can ne'er be broken"
these are the opening words of a song
which many of us recognize. And
when we go a little further into the
subject we will be able to recognize
the various kinds of ties that college
may have.

But the ties that are nearest and
dearest the ones that we will keep
the longest and love the most are
the friendships made at college.

We have been thinking together at
our Vesper services for the past few
months ab^iftt the full and creative life
that Jesus lived, and how he made
possible this life for all others. Any-
one who has tried it, will know from
experience that a person can't give
anything unless he has it himself and
that a quality cannot grow unless it
develops by practice and usage.

The life that we live here on the
campus is one of closest intimacy and
here is the opportunity for making
friends such as an individual may
never have again. The person who once
said, "A friend is one who knows all
about you and loves you just the
same," certainly expressed what real
friendship is. For this utter faith
that one friend has in another brings
the real joy and responsibility of
friendship. The realization that some-
one is back of you someone wants
you to succeed, is the greatest stimu-
lus to effort. You CAN'T fail if some-
one whom you know loves you, wants
you to succeed. When Elizabeth Bar-
rett Browning asked Charles Kingsley
for the explanation of some character-
istics of his life, he answered simply "I

to

Junior Banquet Is
Set for Feb. 28

Committee in Charge of En-
tertainment Appointed.

Of especial interest to the Junior
class is the formal banquet on Febru-
ary 28. Many a night has been sleep-
less for the Juniors, for who can de-
cide which of the many she wants to
invite? For the Junior class, this
banquet is the one social event of the
year the long anticipated event. A
banquet sponsored by Hoasc would be
interesting and exciting any time, but
a banquet to which dates may be in-
vited, holds an especial interest per-
haps the long-looked for "boy of your
dreams" will be there.

The banquet will be given in White
House dining room and, of course,
there will be entertainment. Betty
Bonham has the task of producing
something new to amuse our guests.
Mary Miller has charge of the tables.
Susan Glenn will be responsible for
the decorations, and Penny Brown has
undertaken the invitations.

After the banquet Blackfriars will
present "Little Women" in the gym,
and all the little women will be there,
too.

The grand finale to the Health Week
sponsored by the Athletic Association
last week was the Healthy Hottentot
Hubub on Friday night, which included
the customary Miss Health contest.

Sarah Hill as "Miss Y. W. C. A."
was presented the cup as Miss Health,
representing the nearest approach to
physical perfection. Martha Stigall as
"Miss Sophomore," placed second
while Jean Grey "Miss Student Gov-
ernment," and Margaret Ridley, "Miss
K. U. B.," tied for third place.

This interesting contest was pre-
ceeded by a program built upon those
famous letters A. P. D. C.

A grand march led by Miss Hop-
kins and Mildred McCalip, president of
the Association, started the athletic
section of the program. A lead out
for the wearers of the A. S. wao fol-
lowed by dancing during which par-
ticipants in various sports were tagged
with clever little implements of their
particular sport.

Featuring Pretty Pansy and Pale
Polly whose Punk Posture just wasn't
the thing, one of the Fox' famous
tongue twisters was sung heartily
while many a posture was slyly im-
proved in the darkness behind the pro-
jector.

A Day in Dandelion Dell, a laugh-
able take off on the Miss Health Con-
test, followed. Miss Healthy Hotten-
tot, the dark horse of the contest, sur-
passed all other contestants, such as
Miss Boz-o, Miss June Bug and Dra-
cula in beauty of feature and figure
and was awarded the Athletic Apple.

The program ended with the co-
operative contest for the selection of
Miss Health. The various entrees rep-
resenting the organizations on the
campus marched past to the music
furnished by the A. P. D. C. orchestra,
and were judged according to weight,
posture, feet, and carriage. The cur-
tains parted after the decision of the
ujdges, to show Miss Health 1931 back-
ed by the remaining contestants.

College Anthology
Prints A. S. Verse

Poems by Gilchrist Powell,
Kitty Reid Published.

"Dirge," by Kitty Reid, and "Swamp
Sketch," by Gilchrist Powell, are to
appear in Harper's "The New Anthol-
ogy of College Verse," to be published
about the first of April. This an-
thology is a collection of verse from
almost 300 colleges, and is edited by
Miss Jessie Rehder, a graduate of Ran-
dolph Macon in 1929. Agnes Scott is
well represented in this, the first vent-
ure of the sort in a purely college
project; later it is hoped the anthology
will be a bi-annual publication.
"Dirge" was first printed in the May,
1930, issue of the Aurora, and "Swamp
Sketch" was published in the Novem-
ber issue of this year.

EDITORIAL

The true George Washington, no matter how many authors
entitle their books thus, will probably never be discovered. One
biographer lauds his virtues; another exaggerates his shortcom-
ings; he is a gentleman, and a ruffian. But one fact which no
writer thus far has tried to disprove is his great influence in his
own time. He was, both because of his personality, and his
achievements, the outstanding man of the day. And just as there
grew up a legend around Charlemagne, and Alfred, so the Wash-
ington tradition developed. His was a brave, commanding nature,
endowed with all the attributes of a man of character, honor,
truth, justice, courtesy, with loyalty in large letters superimpos-
ed. It was natural, therefore that a good percentage of young pa-
triots should be christened George Washington Doe in the hope of
upholding the tradition. But if Washington's birthday happened to
correspond with that of the namesake, the chances were doubled
that here was one to carry on the ideal. Such a one was George
Washington Scott. An evidence of this was shown in his planting
the seed of Agnes Scott in order to perpetuate the Washington
tradition, Kwn the college motto, "Add to your faith virtue: and
to virtue knowledge." places the character above the intelligence.
For of what worth would calculus be, if the honor system would
not work? Or why the finest of libraries, if no one would be cour-
teous in its use?

It is our privilege to carry on the ideal which Washington in-
spired. The peculiarity of this privilege lies in the individuality of
the task. Everyone must be loyal to Agnes Scott by herself. A
campaign is hardly a true test, for many may subscribe from self-
accusation of lack of loyalty. A college is best served by those of
character who lead the college to the best of the new. while re-
taining the best of the old. Surely no one would wish to use candle
tight simply because George Washington did. But these who so
eagerly accept electricity carry Agnes Scott past the pessimism
and other passing ills of the present. These followers of the Wash-
ington ideal truly add to their faith virtue; and to their virtue
knowledge.

Declarations of

Independence

Much has been said in praise and in
blame of Agnes Scott but most of it
has been concerned with externals.
We have inner wrongs. Our most pa-
thetic and persistent inner wrong is
the attitude of student toward student.
We move in narrow cliques and ex-
clude all others. Not only do we ex-
clude others but we feel definitely
hostile toward them. We are glad to
pick a schoolmate to pieces. We even
go so far as to gossip about our own
close clique. Gossip sweeps the cam-
pus in a tidal wave and leaves us sod-
den in the backwash of small mean-
ness. There must be a reason and
there is one we have nothing else to
do. When we finish and frequently
before then the long assignments
which must be prepared, we amuse
ourselves with long hours of gossip.
Is this unwholesome condition worthy
of Agnes Scott and her ideals? It is
not nor is it a condition that should
continue. The solution lies in social
activities here on the campus. It is
not so much the outside people we
need as those who are here on the
campus and whom we see daily. Can
we let this opportunity pass ?

What would you think of having
two weeks of your very own to read
what you really want to? The few who
were at N. S. F. A. know what this
would mean, but, for those of us who
don't know, it means that we be given
two weeks, perhaps right before or
after exams, with no assignments
nothing whatever to do except read
that book you've been wanting to all
year. It would make no difference
whether it was modern fiction or
Greek philosophy, but merely a little
time to read something besides assign
ments.

Have you ever read over the book
reviews of the Book Shelf, and longed
to know if the books were really as
attractive as they are written up to
be. This week .it's Al Smith. Wouldn't
you love to see for yourself how he
managed his goat, and dogs, and mon-
keys, etc., in a boarding house ? Two
weeks wouldn't give you half time
enough to read all you want to, but
at least you wouldn't feel so ignorant
when some well-read person mention-
ed "the absolutely charming style of
Ann Green in 'Reader, I Married
Him.' "

Probaby, though, you want more
seious matter. Well, there is that
biography of Thomas Jefferson that
you've been dying to read ever since
you saw it or that intriguing account
of the French court unde Louis the
quatre something. For two weeks
you could read about anything that
had interested you as you studied it.

But perhaps you are one of those
who are struggling to keep their noses
above the flood of required outside
reading perhaps you are taking
American Literature or Bible 205.
Would you like to go back and see if
there really was any sense to what
Emerson said? You could spend this
time catching up with work or get-
ting more out of what you had had to
skim over. At any rate it would have
been time profitably spent. |

Whether you would like to read
modern fiction, or history, or old liter-
ature wouldn't you like two weeks
in which you were really undisturbed?
It's a novel idea, but several of the
large colleges are trying much the
same idea. Perhaps, if the faculty felt
it wasted time, we could make some
sort of report, but nothing that would
make it seem a burden. At any rate
what do you think ?

C, L.

The quadrangle at Agnes Scott is
now very beautiful; we wish that peo-
ple whose rooms face the front yard
could have so pleasant a view. The
front lawn gives a first impression
to the outsider and it is also a mag-
nificent stretch of property; if it were
only groomed as carefully as the in-
ner yard, and coaxed into a similar
brilliant green, the aspect of the col-
lege would be far more pleasing.

The tennis courts have been rolled
and swept and decorated with blazing
new white lines. It seems a shame

Alumnae News

As usual our Alumnae are up and
doing things that make us proud of the
very fact that we attend the school
from which they have gone out. Jean
Alexander, '30. had her comedy, "Con-
tagion," presented by the Atlanta
Woman's Club, February 17. Recent-
ly she visited Helen Sisson Morrison,
'29, in Atlanta.

Janet MacDonald, '28, is working
toward her Ph.D. at the University
of Chicago this winter. As all of
those who remember her will know.
Janet will always be heard of in con-
nection with something big.

Louise Brewer, '30, is secretary to a
professor of aeronautics at Georgia
Tech.

Jo Barry, '30, is teaching in Gulf
Park Academy, Gulf Park. Mississippi.

Olive Spencer, '29, is now Mrs. Nel-
son Jones and is living in Charlotte,
N. C.

Adah Knight, '29, was in town last
week visiting Genevieve at Emory Uni-
versity.

Susanne Stone, '29, is teaching sec-
ond grade in Oxford, Ga.

Virginia Sevier, '27, spent February
12 in the Alumnae House.

We were sorry to learn that Char-
lotte Hunter, '29, has been sick with
flu.

Therese Barksdale, now Mrs. George
Vincent. Haler, '29, is living in Little
Rock, Ark.

Violet Weeks, who is spending the
winter at home, has been very busy
organizing a group to go with the
Agnes Scott Alumnae tours trhough
Europe this summer.

Mirian Brooch, '29, now Mrs. Albert
Fite Gordan, of Richmond, Va., has
recently been back in Atlanta visiting
her family.

Betty Gash, '29, has lately passed
some competitive library examinations
in New York.

Eliza Ramey, '29, who is Mrs. Rich-
ard Loren Gatewood, has a daughter,
Jane, born sometime in January.

In the first part of January Kitty
Jennings, ex '32, was married to
Randolf Taylor, of Decatur. They will
make their home in Monticello, Ga.

Martine Tuller, ex '32, is studying
at Columbia University where she is
taking a course in journalism.

Helen Jackson, also ex '32, married
Charles Jules Hoffmann.

Mary Aiken Stull, ex '30, is now
Mrs. G. H. Carson, of Bucannon, Va.

Sarah Townsend, '30, writes that
she is planning a tour of the "Golden
West" with some of the Lupton Alum-
nae in the summer of 1931.

The Book Shelf

that all of this careful work should be
ruined by people who appear on the
courts in street shoes. A low-heeled
oxford may be all right for the wear-
er's comfort and agility, but it is ruin-
ous for the courts. If you have not
procured a pair of tennis shoes, get
them immediately so that you can be-
gin early and enjoy tennis the whole
season. We all want our courts in
excellent condition, let us all be as
careful as possible so that we may en-
joy them as much as possible.

Wouldn't it be fun to see yourself
in print! Well, that is just exactly
what you can do with some of the new
books in the library. We find men,
incidents, and places of our own gener-
ation written up in a most pleasing
manner. You can no longer use that
old worn-out excuse, "History is too
old and dead to interest me," because
history that has been made during our
short life-time is now in print. Can
you picture Alfred E. Smith keeping
a West Indian goat, four dogs, a par-
rot, and a monkey, and still able to
live in peace and harmony? Or can
you see him playing the role of Jem
Dalton, the villian of the production,
"The Ticket-of-Leave Man"? Why not
play with Al on Coney Island, laugh
at him as an actor, argue with him
as governor, hear him speak as presi-
dential candidate, and finally spend
the winter with him in Miami? Read
"Up to Now," an autobiography by
Alfred E. Smith.

If you don't care for a microscopic
view of the life of Governor Smith,
that is no excuse for neglecting our
new books. An excellent summary of
a period of immense and rapid changes
all over the world, is given by Sir
Valentine Chirol, in "Fifty Years in a
Changing World." In Europe he wit-
nessed the triumphant entry of the
German armies into Paris in 1871, and
for many years before the Great War
he watched the Kaiser blindly steering
his "Neuer Kurs" toward the catasto-
phe which shattered the German Em-
pire and plunged the greater part of
Europe into ruin. In what was called
the "unchanging" East, he had great
opportunities of observing the growth
of new and incalculable forces which
are already challenging the white
man's claims to the appointed over-
lordship of the colored races of the
earth.

For those who are lovers of nature,
and expect, or even hope, to spend a
delightful summer in Glacier National
Park, there is an adequate guide writ-
ten by James Willard Schultz. "Sign-
posts of Adventure" contains a de-
scription of all the points of interest
in this old Indian reservation and re-
lates the legends which endeared them
to the red man.

College Is Grieved by Loss
of Miss Sturges.

Miss Philo W. Sturges, for a long
time connected with the college, died
January 31. Miss Sturges first came
to Agnes Scott in December, 1910, as
the housekeeper for Rebekah Scott
dormitory. She had been at Lucy
Cobb Institute, and because of her suc-
cessful experience there, was selected
to come here. In May, 1920, she re-
signed her position because of poor
health and went to live in the cottage,
now called in her honor, Sturges.
Later, the college first rented, and
then purchased the cottage. Miss
Sturges was always very loyal to
Agnes Scott, and made frequent visits
I to the campus, the last of which was
on the Sunday before the college
closed for the Christmas holidays.

Giddy, dear:

I did mean to spend this half-hour
making up those twelve hours of Bible
205, but what's the use, with a holi-
day and a whole week-end ahead? And
besides, Conscience, there're things to
be told! And Genius shouldn't be
bridled where would Gilchrist Powell
and Kitty Reid be, if they'd crammed
history of the Holy Land when they
felt the urge for self-expression? Not
in Harper's Anthology, you may lay to
that. (Don't think Kitty has reached
success overnight; her career began
way back in the sixth grade with
" Tis the Day! 'Tis the Day!

The Birds and Bees and Flowers Say."
so just keep at it people used to
laugh at Sinclair Lewis.) We really
are getting on in the world, what with
Jean Alexander's play, "Contagion''
(some awful Morganton, N. C, epi-
demic, no doubt) being put on in town.
Just another testimonial as to the
value of a college education, Giddy;
I've heard that you gave her her start.

I'm sure our unfortunate publicity
has reached your willing ears; at pres-
ent, we aren't "en bonne odeur," as the
French so delicately put it. But it's a
bad break that does nobody good, and
it certainly saved Mildred Duncan a
ticket the other day. She was parked
outside the Fox waiting for Ruth Mc-
Auliffe to extract an ad from some big
two-fisted victim, when up stepped the
Arm of the Law and pointed out that
she had thoughtlessly stopped on one
of his favorite lines, and said he was
sorry, lady, but she'd have to move
on. When she told him that she was
only a poor Hottsntot waiting for her
friend, he beamed like the morning

sun, and proceeded to set forth his
views on smoking and family life in
general, and all was well which only
goes to prove that over one-third of
Atlanta reads the Georgian. And while
we're on ads, let me mention that
there is absolutely no stalling Kitty
Purdie whatever it happens to be, she
(what is the name of that flea-pow-
der?) Getz It. To-wit, she went all
unsuspecting and unconscious into a
men's clothing store, announced that
she was from Agnes Scott, and came
out with an ad, barehanded! She at-
tributes her success entirely to her
knowledge of Applied Psychology.

You know, I'm sure, how we all feel
about the rarity of dances and dates.
Julia Rowan really deserves the
HOASC badge for doing the best work
during the year toward improving so-
cial conditions at Agnes Scott can
you believe that Earl Dunlap actually
ate dinner in White House the other
night? In person. And afterwards,
Julia let him take her to a dance, and
her shoe came all apart (she lost the
heel, and the inside came out) and he
put it all back together again with
chewing-gum! Mmmmm such a
be-u-tiful couple!

One more choice morsel, and then
I'll try to forsake this chatter-minded-
ness incidentally, this little Rumor
has stalked about the campus till it's
probably grown out of all proportion
but there's a Married Man who is
all alone in the great city working,
and he longs for female companion-
ship, and even specifies the Fair One
none other than our own Mary Davis!
But Mary scorns him she really
doesn't know him anyway and hangs
up right in his ear whenever he calls
her, on an average of five times a
week. Right strong-minded of her;
who knows, he might be splendid
Junior Banquet material, and a man
at hand is worth ten at home right
now.

It's dinner-time, and I must stop
and I've written nothing but idle chat-

"Agnes Scott, she ain't what she
used to be ain't never gonna be no
more!" That old song has been pecu-
liarly applicable to our campus during
the last year. Ever since the students
put over that big campaign in the fall
of '28, and members of the General
Education Board visited us and ex-
pressed their rather favorable opin-
ion of the students in dollars and cents,
the old campus has simply waked up
and blossomed forth. Of course the
.lew steam plant and Buttrick Hall are
the biggest improvements from point
of view of actual size and cost and
no one questions that it is a luxury
not to have to wade out into the rain
between history and math class, but
the day students and some of those
popular young persons who have call-
ers six nights a week may question
whether the new $6,000 parlors in
Main are not even more important.
Moving the electric wires underground
and putting up forty-eight arc lights
has added to the general beauty too,
and has made it possible for us to
admire the new shrubbery even at
night!

We have, of course, smiled at those of
the alumnae who have come back and
been so awed at the advancement made
since they were here, but beware the
advancement of time! The classes of
the next two or three years are going
to have the laugh on us, because the
old song will be even more applicable
then. Some time within the next
twelve months they hope to start on
the Auditorium and Music Building, to
stand next to Buttrick. New gates
will be put up at the College Avenue
entrances and later, when the McDon-
ough-Candler drive is paved through,

Aggie.

P. S. You have no idea what a jar
it gave my executive ears to hear a
man's voice coming out of Gaines the
other evening I just knew something
interesting was up; and it turned out
to be nothing more sensational than
Elmore's new radio with Bill Munday
broadcasting, no doubt!

Agnes Scotters have found themselves
rather at a loss for something to do.

THE AGONISTIC

Main Wins Brown Jug

Fun, frolic, wild shrieks, and a joy-
ous victory for Main brought to a close
the contest for tha Little Brown Jug,
on Thursday of Health Week. By a
process of elimination, several teams
with able players were forced to take
their places on the side lines to watch
the final game. Although the score
was 29-4, and the fouling frequent on
both sides, the amateur White House
Patiiots did honor to their red, white,
and blue colors; and the Main Col-
legiates, appearing in racoon coats,
played a fast game.

Th2 preliminary games were very
short, but hard fought. The snappy
Rebekah team battled nobly against
the final victors, losing, 6-16. The
school spirited Day Students beat the
Inman Inmates 13-7 in spite of the
latter's ferocious pirate attire with
skull and cross bones on their backs.
Pretty playing on both sides charac-
terized the White House-Gaines game.
The White House Gang won, 14-2,
over Gaines, that noble domicile with
its up-to-date, youthful team, its ef-
ficient water-boys, and a habit of hys-
teria which proved very contagious.

But shades of the past! Glum ghosts
soon appeared, challenged the descend-
ants of the Jail Birds of 1930, then
came to life and showed red hearts on
their backs spelling Luptonites. Ans-
ley's Healthy Hottentots, with bob-
bing pig tails, burst forth with purple
and white, abbreviated skirts, and
emerged victorious by 18-6. Last but
not least came Sturges! The Day Stu-
dents and those dear, modest relics of
Institute days (the recent cake-eaters)
fought desperately, exhibited some
nice plays, but the final score stood,
16-0 for the Day Students. The White
House-Ansley game ended closely, 8-6,
for Whits House, and Main beat the
Day Students, 10-5, just before the
dinner bell rang. The finals were play-
ed afterwards amidst ardent cheer-
ing, with a snake dance between
halves.

All in all the contest was a success.
In 1929 this type of interdormitory
battle was substituted for short stunts,
with the hope that wider interest and
more enthusiasm would result, and
this year, again, the contest for the
Little Brown Jug confirmed the good
slogan, "Play for Play's sake."

Aquatic Sophomores

Defeat Juniors

A fast, well-fought gams of water
polo played by the Juniors and
Sophomores last Thursday resulted in
a victory for the Sophomores with the
score 8-5.

During the first half the scoring
was close between the two teams. The
Juniors made a goal at the start after
a pretty bit of passwork. Lingle, up to
her usual excellent work, made several
consecutive goals for the Sophomores.
Thompson proved to be a rneraee to
the Junior forwards, and orfiVet has
developsd into an excellenl jmmxJ for
the Junior team.

The second half was marked by some
very good passwork on both teams.
Lnigle, stretching out on the water to
get the ball from the first whistle,
passed to Bethea or Ellis who, with a
few more well timed passes tossed the
ball between the goal posts. That is,
when Smith at goal allowed them to
pass by her. Final score 8-5.

45-11 in Volleyball

On Tuesday afternoon, February 10,
the gym was the scene of the annual
volley ball game between the faculty
and the students. The game helped to
usher in Health Week. It was played
amid the screams of the spectators and
the disgusted ejaculations of the play-
ers. All was going well until a ball,
which was meant to soar high above
:he net and ths heads of the students,
was accidentally misdirected and hit
Miss Laney. At the end of the half
the score was 27-6 in favor of the
students. The members of the gym
department were the outstanding per-
formers for the faculty. Miss Sinclair
must be the proverbial school teacher
with eyes in the back of her head,
judging from her ability to swat balls
backwards. Brown, Watson and Bow-
man did good work for the students.
Dr. Davidson and Mr. Cunningham
were the representatives for the men
of the faculty. In the final score
the students led the faculty 45-11.

Frosh Lose to Seniors

In Water Polo

The Seniors defeated the Freshmen
at water polo last Thursday with a
4-3 score.

The Freshmen exhibited some very
gocd individual playing, but failed to
make this count with good teamwork.
Cassels played an excellent game, but
once in possession of the ball, had few
openings for a pass.

The Seniors played a good steady
game working constantly toward their
opponent's goal and usually ending the
series of passes with a score. The
Freshmen intercepted a good many
passes but were unable to run their
scor? up past the Seniors'.

Ga. Student Volunteers

Meet in Decatur

Outstanding- college professors and
other leaders of young people in the
South were heard at the annual ses-
sion of the Georgia Student Volunteer
Union for Foreign Missions, when it
convened last week-end, February 13-
15, at the Decatur Presbyterian
Church. Agnes Scott students, church
members, and friends of the movement
entertained the 200 guests, represent-
ing virtually every outstanding college
and university in the state.

Cornelia Wallace, the president, pre-
sided as chairman at the sessions of
the conference. Among the speakers
on the theme of the conference, "Our
message to the modern world," were
Dr. Donald Richardson, Dr. W. T. Wat-
kins, Dr. W. A. Smart, and Professor
Garfield Evans. Besides the large
Georgia representation, student leaders
from Alabama, Tennessee, South Caro-
lina, and North Carolina also attended
the conference.

Cornelia Wallace was re-elected
president.

A. S. C. Uses 16,000,
000 Gallons Water

**************************

Did you know that for every stu-
dent resident and day in Agnes
Scott there are more than five tons
of coal consumed each year, or rather
each nine months, by the power and
heating plant of the College?

Well, that's what happens, accord-
ing to E. R. Rivers, chief engineer of
the College, who states that 2,800 tons
are used each term.

And not only that. 16,000,000 gal-
lons of water are used by the College
and students for various purposes
drinking, laundering, swimming, etc.
every twelve months, a total of a mil-
lion and a quarter gallons per month,
which runs up the largest water bill in
Decatur.

When questioned this week by a re-
porter for the Junior issue of the
Agonistic, Mr. Rivers, who has been
engineer on this campus for eighteen
years, revealed many interesting
things concerning the operation of the
College's mechanical department.

The writer was taken on a tour of
the steam plant and laundry, located
on Ansley Street, in rear of the Col-
lege. She was even invited to climb
the 150-foot smokestack and get an
excellent aerial view of the campus
and surrounding country, but since
there was considerable smoke and
flame pouring out of the mammoth
chimney, the invitation was politely
declined.

Inside the power plant, two enorm-
ous boilers are used to provide steam
for the entire College. They are fed
coal by automatic contraptions, which
run in almost a shovelful each second.
Only one boiler is used at a time, and
each has a capacity of approximately
700 horsepower. There are 45,000 feet
of radiation for the College steam sys-
tem, and each 100 feet is served by
one horse power.

Once the fires are started at the be-
ginning of school, they are not ex-
tinguished until the close of the term.

Hottentots Turning
Cotton - Minded

Agnes Scott girls have been known
to be scientifically-minded, or mathe-
matically-minded, or even (sad to re-
late) absent-minded. But just about
the most popular thing on the campus
at present is being industrially-mind-
ed. The Industrial Committee of Y.
W. C. A. is boosting southern industry
by selling cotton hose for the mere
sum of twenty-five cents in the coin of
the realm. Ah! Mighty shouts from
poor, slim pocketbook, and great sighs
of relief from timid soul who nearly
freezes every winter. All the best
people on the campus Hoasc 100 per
cent are wearing cotton hose, the
most appropriate and latest style.
They are awfully warm on cold days,
and do help the allowance famously,
but most of all they are helping south-
ern industry. No wonder "you just
know she wears them."

They are banked each night, and on
especially cold evenings are kept burn-
ing continuously. This winter has
been more severe than last year's, Mr.
Rivers says, and more coal has had
to be burned.

Mr. Rivers, who lives on College
Place, has been doing engineering
work with colleges for twenty-eight
years. Before coming to Agnes Scott
he was at Winthrop College, South
Caroina, where he worked in associa-
tion with Mr. Cunningham, who was
then connected with the Carolina
school.

The Agnes Scott power plant and
laundry, Mr. Rivers proudly comments,
is one of the best power and heating
outfits of any Southern college.

If you want an interesting introduc-
tion to the inner workings of our pow-
er plant and laundry, and if you want
to know why the radiators in Buttrick,
Main, etc., are warm and cold at times
and rumble and bang once in a while,
a half-hour visit to the plant will suf-
fice.

Freedom for Seniors
That Juniors instead of Seniors
should hold important offices is one
of the topics discussed in the Goucher
College Weekly. The Seniors should
be left free from the burdens and
cases of offices to pursue the the-
oretical aim of liberal education, the
purely academic labor. The arguments
put forward are that the prominent
Juniors are capable of directing col-
lege activities, and that such authority
is apt to make them more appreciative
of a period for purely intellectual pur-
suits.

Actually, nothing is done about this
because it takes every Senior class the
best part of its fourth year to discuss
the demands of time and energy made
upon it by extra-curricular activities.
But the prospect is that some future
Junior class will choose intellectual
versus extracurricular activities.

Magazine Notes

New Ideas in Education

The University of Chicago will drop
the present four-year undergraduate
course, and in its place, a new type of
college program is to be created in
which the student will be able to grad-
uate whenever he can pass a compre-
hensive examination. If it takes him
six months or ten years it is all right
with the college.

A professor at the University of
Denver dreams of a "New University"
which will be a reality in the near
future. It will have no fraternities,
sororities, or athletics, but an instiu-
tion in which a ten-year-old child can
enter and demand an education. There
will be no exams, quizzes, grades, and
so forth, and a student may study
only when he pleases.

The Ideal Exam

Many college "profs" dislike the
idea of giving exams. However, there's
one who actually did something about
it. At Dartmouth, Robert Frost, the
poet, was giving a course in poetry.
The authorities insisted that he give a
final examination. Frost didn't care
to, but, as he was under orders, he
went to the blackboard, and wrote, "Do
the thing that you think will please me
most." Some students composed orig-
inal poems; others wrote critical es-
says; some praised the professor. One
student taking the professor at his
word, simply got up and walked out.

"The most outstanding feats of the
past month (December) without ques-
tion are Miss Ruth Nichols' trans-
continental record-breaking flights,"
says the January issue of the Sports-
woman. This record-smashing young
woman has been flying for eight
years, and has won national promi-
nence during the past two years. She
made her western flight in 16 hours
59^ minutes, flying the last 250 miles
at an average speed of 161 miles an
hour, an especially remarkable feat
since the weather was unfavorable for
flying. Through her interest in and
technical knowledge of flying and
through her sportsmanship, Miss
Nichols is contributing tremendously
to aviation, and women's aviation par-
ticularly.

Women aviators and other sports-
women are welcoming the completion
and opening of the new Curtiss Air-
port in New York City. The field is
within easy reach of the metropolitan
area and offers many facilities to fly-
ing New Yorkers, being already the
base for two transport lines. It is on
Bowery Bay and has ample landing
room for sea planes and amphibians,
as well as for land planes. Over $3,-
500,000 was spent in building up this
128-acre field, 70 of which were re-
claimed, by dredging and sluicing,
from beneath the waters of the bay.

You can't help sympathizing with
the professors, though, when you stop
to think that they have to read what
you write. Here are a few examples
from a set of college blue-books.

Artificial perspiration is the way to
make a person alive when they are
only just dead.

Bigamy is when a man tries to serve
two masters.

Queen Elizabeth rode a white horse
from Kenil worth through Coventry
with nothing on, and Raleigh offered
her his cloak.

When England was placed under an
interdict, the Pope stopped all mar-
riages, births and deaths for one year.

The pyramids are a range of moun-
tains between France and Spain.

afterwards.

THE AGONISTIC

LAURA BROWN TALKS

EN Y. AY. YESPERS

(Continued from page 1)
had a friend." A great physician once
wrote "Your best friend strikes deeds
and thoughts out of you, that you
never knew were in you, and that truly
were not fully formed in you till your
friend woke them to life. The need of
them, the whispering of their coming
was there; but it took both of you to
fully create them."

There are several things conducive
to friendship of which if our adven-
ture is to be a success, I would remind
you. One of these is Politeness. If
you think that just because you know
a person very well, you can say or do
anything and she will understand be-
cause she knows you don't mean it, you
are making a mistake. For a friend
wants courtesy and appreciation from
another. Another of these qualities is
Thoughtfulness. If a friendship is to
be lasting there must be an undercur-
rent of remembering little things, of
doing the kind and thoughtful deed
which will give an added joy to the
day. There is the characteristic of
Sympathy. There is nothing so com-
forting when you're blue or discour-
aged to have someone to whom you
can spill over someone who under-
stands and who you know is interested
in what you do and say and think.
Truthfulness is an essential to Friend-
ship which we would not overlook. If
you have to "handle with care" or
"manage" a friend it is not wothwhile.
Hugh Black says "Trust is the first
requisite for making a friend and
faithfulness is the first requisite for
keeping him. Respect is another es-
sential quality if you cannot admire
and revere the qualities which you see
in a girl how can you expect your life
to be enriched by contact with her?
Just as respect for a person is neces-
sary, so is respect for her possessions,
her reticence, and her confidences an
abiding law of friendship. If a person
can feel that what she says in confi-
dence to another is held sacred she
will want to share further her inner
life with the other. But there are some
experiences and moments which come
to all of us that we do not want to
share even with one who would un-
derstand. "We love best," Bertha
Conde says, "those whose reserves are
far greater than their self-revelations"
we realize that this life is far
fuller and more complete than it ap-
pears on the surface there are undis-
covered depths, which we know are
there but may not explore.

18 Years' Experience

Many people say that two cannot be
friends unless they have a common
outlook on life. This may be time and
certainly congeniality is a quality
most necessary, but I am inclined to
think that when each brings his own
individuality into the relationship, then
the other will love him for what he
is and what he represents. Emerson
says "The only joy I have in his being
mine, is that the not mine is mine."
And again he says "There must be
very two, before there can be very
one."

Friendship is a miracle the miracle
of spring to the cold dull earth, and
the beauty of it may be expressed in
the words

"The joy of friendship makes life so
complete

No wealth on earth could buy that

which I know;
Nor take the thing which I share with

you."

I think the most beautiful friend-
ship that I know anything about, is
that which David and Jonathan shared.
From the moment of meeting they felt
that they belonged to each other. Out
of all the chaos of the time and the
disorder of their lives, there arose for
these two souls a new and beautiful
world, where there reigned peace and
love and sweet content. It was the
death of self. It was as the smile of
God which changed the world to them.
One of them it saved from the tempta-
tions of a squalid court and the other
from the sourness of an exile's life.
Jonathan's princely soul had no room
for envy or jealousy. David's frank
nature rose to meet the magnanimity
of his friend. During the troubulous
times, they had, their love remained
true. David's lament over Jonathan's
death is fitting and beautiful. "I am
distressed for thee. My brother Jona-
than; very pleasant has thou been
unto me; thy love to me was wonder-
ful."

Blackf riars to Present

"Little Women" Feb. 28

Blackfriars, under the direction of
Miss Gooch, will present "Little Wom-
en" in the gym Saturday night, Feb-
ruary 28. The play is a comedy in
four acts by Marian De Forest, adapt-
ed from Louisa May Alcott's well-
known story. "Little Women" is
neither a psychological analysis of
character, nor a problem play types
so popular today but it is a charm-
ing character study of a group of
lovable people. It promises many a
hearty laugh at Jo's antics, Amy's
"airs," and Laurie's teasing. The
familiar characters of the cast are as
follows:

Mr. March Jule Bethea

Mrs. March Margaret Ridley

Meg Mary Torrance

Jo Anna Louise Chandler

Beth Andrewena Robinson

Amy Elizabeth Simpson

Aunt March Margaret Ellis

Mr. Lawrence Julia Grimmet

Inman will probably follow the Music
Building, and about 1934 the alumnae
expect to have the money for the
new chapel to stand on the present
site of Gaines. The basement and
fifth floors of Buttrick have been left
to be used for new rest rooms, class
rooms, studios, etc., as we need them.

Under Mrs. Hastings the alumnae
are working to beautify the stretch
between the railroad and the street in
front of the College. Plans have also
been made for a formal garden be-
tween the Alumnae House and Inman.

An unusual treat offered to the col-
lege and community last Wednesday
were some moving pictures of unicel-
lular life shown at the DeKalb Thea-
ter. The isolation of these protozoa
and microscopic work of magnification
was the work of Miss Mary Stuart
MacDougall, head of Agnes Scott
Biology Department.

The pictures included various types
of these minute animals in motion.
The sweep of a long flagellum or the
rapid beat of cilia in the process of
food-getting, quite different from our
visits to the dining oom, were fasci-
nating and this brief glimpse of
microscopic life gave a promise of
great enjoyment for those who wish
to look further into the habits of this
branch of the vast animal kingdom.

The reels are in the possession of
the Biology Department and will be
shown on the campus when a proper
projector is obtained.

Further grading will add, too, to the
beauty of the back campus. Along the
line of these outdoor improvements,
there is even talk of a lake! Just im-
agine our little sisters studying in
canoes or boats! You'd really better
get out the little kodak and take a
snap shot to recall the Agnes Scott
you know 'cause it's not "gonna be
what it used to be."

tion with the one in the nearby city,
and tickets of the Lecture Association
will be good only for admission to the
local presentation.

Dr. McCain will introduce Admiral
Byrd. who will tell the complete story
of the expedition, from the time it left
New York in August, 1928, until the
southernmost point on the earth was
reached after two years of waiting,
planning, and exploration.

Among the interesting features of
the lecture will be thrilling details
and scenes of the work at Little Amer-
ica, the expedition's base. At that
snow-buried "city" the famed explorer
passed twenty-four months preparing
for the magnificent flight to the South
Pole, from which he returned on No-
vember 29, 1921, the conqueror of
both the South and North Poles.

WORLD MISSION
CONFERENCE AT
CHATTANOOGA

Agnes Scott Represented By
Large Number of
Students.

At the Congress on World Missions
held at Chattanooga, Tenn., from Feb-
ruary 16 to 19, Agnes Scott was well
represented by the largest delegation
from any college. Twelve of the girls,
with Mrs. Harbison as chaperon, went
in the Emory bus; the rest went in
automobiles with friends. They were
late for the opening meeting because
of the difficulty of getting themselves
assigned to the homes where they
were to be entertained.

Because of the importance and mag-
nitude of the question of foreign mis-
sions every minute available was taken
by meetings from eight forty-five in
the morning until ten in the evening.
The usual program for the day was
as follows: in the morning, devotional
service at 8:45, a report of one of
the six commissions, group confer-
ences, and inspirational addresses;
after lunch, a song service, a report of
another commission, group confer-
ences, and an address by some church
leader; in the evening, a regular serv-
ice with another address. Dr. J. P.
McCallie was the chairman of the Con-
gress Executive Committee, therefore
presiding and making most of the an-
nouncements. With Dr. Darby Fulton
as co-chairman, he supervised the
whole program.

Many of the well-known men of the
church gave reports or delivered ad-
dresses, among whom were Mark A.
Matthews; James Endicott, of Canada;
Donald W. Richardson; Henry Wade
DuBose; Samuel M. Zwemer; Robert
E. Speer; Wm. M. Anderson, who has
just been here on the campus; Edward
D. Grant; Albert Sidney Johnson; John
McSween; W. Taliaferro Thompson;
and Bishop W. N. Ainsworth. All the
addresses brought true messages and
were well worth attending.

The main purpose of the confer-
ence was to study the problem of for-
eign missions and to impress all with
its importance and need of support.
Six commissions had previously pre-
pared reports on these phases of the
question: "The Missionary Message
and Obligation"; "The Foreign Field
Our Missionary Responsibility"; "The

Poems of Alumna
Recently Published

Mrs. Wilbur Currie Recog-
nized as Poet.

Recently Mrs. Wilbur Hoke Currie,
'25, formerly Miss Elizabeth Woltz,
and sister of Katherine, was publicly
recognized as a poet. Every year the
International Writer's League spon-
sors the publication of a book of poems
by each state. This year two poems
by Mrs. Currie have been included in
the North Carolina volume.

It is interesting to know how these
poems came to be written. One, en-
titled "Lullaby," written in sonnet
form, was composed while Mrs. Currie
was rocking her little girl to sleep,
while the other "Catherine's Eyes,"
has special bearing on Agnes Scott.
It was inspired by her former college
roommate, Catherine Randolph. Mrs.
Currie had never before written poetry
for publication. At the request of a
friend, she entered her poems in the
contest, and received a signal honor.

JUNIOR PROM

standing social events of the year, and
gives promise of great success. The
color scheme, green and yellow, will
be repeated time and again in the dec-
orations, of which Susan Glenn has
charge. Betty Bonham, head of the
entertainment committee, will provide
an interesting program, consisting of
a song and dance skit by the Thompson
twins, songs by Shirley McPhaul, and
a tap dance by Dot Cassel. Penny
Brown is chairman of the invitation
committee.

Agnes Scott Club
To Debate Tenn.

New Double Debate System
Scheduled.

Much interest is being taken in the
plans of Pi Alpha Phi for the coming
debates with the University of Ten-
nessee. The debating club is reviving
a plan which it used several years ago.
Both colleges will have two teams, and
there will be a debate between the two
colleges on each campus the same
night. The exact date has not yet
been set, but the event will take place
during the week of March 23. The sub-
ject of this debate is to be, Resolved:
That legal censorship should be abol-
ished.

This system of debating was used
when Randolph Macon, Sophie New-
comb, and Agnes Scott were opponents.
They made of it a triangular debate,
each college having three teams. It
would be interesting to see the revival
of this plan and to watch its develop-
ment.

ADMIRAL BYRD
TO LECTURE
TODAY

Famous Polar Explorer to
Present Films of
Antarctic.

This afternoon at 2:30 o'cock, Rear-
Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd will lec-
ture in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium
on his expedition to the South. Pole.

Admiral Byrd, as we all know, is
a world-famous explorer, who has
flown over both the North and South
Poles, and whose adventure in Little
America was front page copy in every
newspaper in the country for two
years.

The 9,000 feet of motion pictures
which he brings with him to illustrate
his lecture is not the same film that
has already been shown in the regu-
lar theatres, entitled "With Byrd at the
South Pole," but are pictures used ex-
clusively for Byrd's lectures. "It is
a film assembled under the direct
supervision of Admiral Byrd in order
to show the most interesting moments
in the two year exploration trip he and
his crews made to Antarctica. Of
course, the scene where Byrd actually
flies over the South Pole is included,
and could not be different from that al-
ready shown but, with this exception,
the pictures are entirely different and
original."

This lecture is the fourth presented
by the Lecture Association, and brings
to a successful close a most inter-
esting program. The season tickets,
which have been used for the past
three lectures, are good for this one.
Single admission fees will be two dol-
lars for those not holding season tick-
ets. Special attention is called to the
fact that the lecture is at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon and not at the cus-
tomary evening hour.

"Little Women" to Be
Presented Saturday

Mrs. Mary Ben Erwin to Di-
rect Comedy.

Saturday evening at eight-thirty in
the gym Blackfriars will present
"Little Women," a comedy in four acts
by Marian De Forest, adapted from
the story by Louisa M. Alcott. The
play is under the direction of Mrs.
Mary Ben Erwin, '25, a former presi-
dent of Blackfriars and now a teacher
of expression in Decatur.

RADIO PROGRAM
BROADCASTED
FOUNDER'S DAY

Alumnae Dinner Given at
the Biltmore.

The beautiful words of our Alma
Mater ushered in the sixth annual
Founders' Day program of Agnes
Scott to broadcasted over the radio.
The program was broadcasted Satur-
day evening, February 21, at six
o'clock, while members of the Alumnae
Association and of the Glee Club sat
around a banquet table at the Biltmore
Hotel in Atlanta.

After the Alma Mater, another
school song "Agnes Scott, My Agnes
Scott," was sung by an octette from
the Glee Club. Following this, Miss
Llewellyn Wilburn, president of the
Alumnae Association, gave a greeting
to all alumnae listening in. The theme
of her talk was taken from the words
inscribed over one of the entrances of
Buttrick Hall: "Having torches, they
will pass them on to each other.' , Then
President J. R. McCain gave a short
history of the development of Agnes
Scott during the past thirty years.
After this the Glee Club, under the
direction of Mrs. Gussie O'Neal John-
son of the Music Department, render-
ed a musical creation by Willoughby:
"Comin' Home." Miss Nanette Hop-
kins, Dean, followed this by an address
to "her girls everywhere." Miss Hop-
kins also read telegrams that had
come in fom various alumnae. The
Glee Club sang one of Agnes Scott's
favorites: "Home of Virtue, Faith, and
Knowledge," and Mrs. S. Guerry
Stukes sang "Love's Old Sweet Song."
The closing address was made by
Penelope Brown, a Junior at Agnes
Scott; hers was a message from the
present students to the alumnae. The
program was closed by the singing of
the Alma Mater, in which all the
alumnae were asked to join in.

Scenario for May

Day Is Chosen

Mary C. Williamson Winner
of Contest.

Mary Catherine Williamson, '31, has
been selected as the winner of the May
Day scenario contest, held recently
among the students of Agnes Scott
College. Presenting a diversity of
characters, numerous possibilities for
dances and colorful costumes, the win-
ning scenario is an outline of an Old
English May Day as presented in
Merry England during the reign of
Charles II. The scenario was chosen
for its accurate historial details and
its remarkable flexibility of structure
as well as for its aesthetic and artistic
qualities.

The May Day Committee expressed
special appreciation for the cooper-
ation received from the entire student
body. The scenarios submitted excelled
in quality as well as quantity, which
indicated much thought and interest
on the parts of the writers.

The Annual Founder's Day celebra-
tion, to commemorate the birth of
George Washington Scott, was held on
the night of February 23. The din-
ing rooms of White House and Re-
bekah were decorated with red, white
and blue streamers, candles and a
number of the famous cherry trees.
George Washington presided over the
banquet board, and his unique welcome
made each guest feel immediately at
home

"I welcome you, good people true,
To my birthday party,
But if you had brought a present or
two,

The welcome would be more hardy."

When bluff old Daniel Boone came
in late, Washington, always the per-
fect host, smoothed over the awkward
situation with tactful words

"Why Daniel Boone, you old racoon,
You would have to be tardy,
But come on in and get some gin
And let us all be hearty."

The Colonial Assembly, composed of
Seniors, presented a colorful picture in
their flounces and satin coats; and the
ladies of that far-off day gave proof
that their charm and wit was in no
way surpassed by the girls of today,
ovely Martha Washington archly
warned George not to become too self-
satisfied. In her own words

"Oh hubby dear, though very bold you

may pretend
Still you must consider
You may be first in the hearts of your

countrymen
But remember you married a widow!"

Patrick Henry was also among those
present, and displayed his usual fiery
eloquence

"Napoleon had his Josephine,
Essex his Elizabeth

The necessity for student participa-
tion in the affairs of our government
was stressed by Marjorie Daniel, presi-
dent of the Agnes Scott Citizenship
Club, in her address, "The Student and
His Country," at vespers Sunday eve-
ning. The conclusion drawn from the
speech was that, although the United
States has done much for the world
in a humanitarian way and that al-
though she possesses an idealism
which is of infinite value to this world
of growing materialism, she is occupy-
ing at present a most undesirable and
disadvantageous position in the world
because of three things: her predom-
inance in the western hemisphere, her
influence in Europe, and her growing
dependence on foreign trade. The stu-
dents of the colleges and universities
of the country can assist her in ob-
taining a more favorable position
through studying her problems and
taking an active interest in her af-
fairs.

The speaker mentioned our policy of
isolation, "a policy as old as the pa-
triot whose birthday we have celebrat-

ed today," and our lack of co-operation | outstanding literary output of 1931.

EDITORIAL

The appearance on our campus of Admiral Richard Evelyn
Byrd brings us to the realization that the spirit of romance and
adventure is not dead, but as strong today as it was "ages and
ages ago.'' It is as strong now as in that supreme era of romance
and adventure the Age of Elizabeth, when its most perfect embodi-
ment was another admiral, Sir Francis Drake, of Her Majesty's
Navy.

We find that determination to answer the challenge of worlds
to conquer is the pole-star in the lives of both Drake and Byrd.
The challenge led Drake around the world. Sailing from England
in his fleet of five small vessels, he crossed the stormy Atlantic,
and attacked Porto Bello, capturing the Spanish mule trains, laden
with treasure gold, silver, and gems. Cut off from England by
Philip's warships, the intrepid Devonshire sea-dog steered his one
remaining ship, the Golden Hind, with its ballast and cargo of
treasure, through the treacherous Straits of Magellan. On the
western coast he committed such ravages as to win the title El
Draque, the dragon of South American bed-time stories ; the master
of the gloomy Escurial flinched at these insults of the English
dragon, who was later to breathe fire upon Spain's Invincible
Armada. Failing to discover the fabulous northwest passage, he
sailed on across the Pacific and at last up the Thames to Deptford,
where he was knighted by the queen aboard the Golden Hind.

The story of Francis Drake has its counterpart today in that
of Richard Byrd. Besides other adventures in his youth, he has to
his credit three achievements, any one of which would have made
him more than famous. In 1925 he was put in charge of the Navy
Unit of the MacMillan Arctic Expedition, and on May 9, 1926, flew
over the North Pole. In June, 1927, in a Fokker tri-motor plane
he crossed the Atlantic to the coast of France; although not com-
pletely successful, the trans-oceanic flight established a record of
flight under adverse conditions, and had great practical value. His
latest and most spectacular achievement is, of course, his flight
over the South Pole, the last great challenge of worlds to conquer.
Although Byrd could by no means be knighted like Drake, he has
been presented with numerous medals ranging from the medal of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to the Con-
gressional .Modal of Honor.

We can imagine Drake's audience with Elizabeth and her
councillors their rapt and thoughtful expressions as he told of
his rxperiencos and displayed his glittering treasures, Today wc
are to hear, through the efforts of the Lecture Association, a
similar story <>f romance and adventure, illustrated with pictures
and presented by Admiral Richard Byrd.

of critical Europe today. Then she
went on to mention a few of the many
philanthropic institutions which are
being supported by Americans and
which represent the true spirit of the
nation, the spirit which must be em-
phasized and asserted and which the
students of the country can advance.
"But," she said "I would not have you
think that the United States has been
totally uncooperative in her interna-
tional relations. In humanitarian
work, in aid for economic recovery, in
intellectual contacts, in her efforts for
world peace, and in her spiritual rela-
tions, the United States has signified
a willingness to break the old barriers,
to acclaim the brotherhood universal,
and to share full and creative living."

Again, "We are not the isolationists,
the selfish individuals we are pictured
to be in the press of foreign countries.
But on the other hand, aren't we
forced to admit that as long as our
relations with the world are as strain-
ed as they are, as long as our co-
operation continues incomplete, as long
as we hesitate to share less reserved-
ly our friendship, our wealth, our
idealism, our experiences in the abund-
ant life that is meant for all, Amer-
ica's responsibility will continue to be
partially, imperfectly performed ?

"What can we do about it all? It
seems hopeless. We are bewildered
and lost in the vastness of the whole
situation. What can one student do?
What can a group of students do to
affect our country's policy in interna-
tional affairs? After a group discus-
sion recently on 'The United States
and the Prevention of War' a girl said
to me, 'If I could put my finger on it,
I would put my interest in it and make
it a life purpose, perhaps. But I
know what I can do now. I'll
find out what I can about this problem
and try to determine just what is
needed. I'll keep the whole matter in
my thoughts, on my heart, and in my
prayers.' This girl has all the es-
sentials for a proper approach to any
problem. . . . Let us give the prob-
lem, or part of the problem that in-
terests us, a place in our discussions,
in our meditations, and prayers. . . .
A me cica's greatest poet philosopher,
Emerson, in his essay on 'Spiritual
Laws' has said: 'When you have given
no opinion on the times, on the church
. . . on college, on parties and per-
sons . . . your silence answers very
loud. You have no oracle to utter, and
your fellow men have learned that you
cannot help them; for oracles speak.'

"If we will to find a place in our
country's task, we shall find it; if we
want to share America's responsibility,
we shall share it; if we believe in the
future of our nation in her world rela-
tions, we must, we shall make 'time's
latest offspring her noblest.' "

The special music for the service
consisted of a violin duet, selections
from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," played
by Miss Florence Smith and Elizabeth
Sutton. Bessie Meade Friend acted as
leader.

together with Christ. The narrative
tells of their conspiracy to overthrow
Roman rule in Judea, which comes to
nothing on account of a series of ac-
cidents, and the thieves are left in the
hands of Fate. The book is merely
an adventure story.

"The Education of a Princess," by
Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia, is a
dramatic memoir of a courageous
woman, who tells of the intimate life
of Russia's imperial family, her child-
hood, her marriage to Prince William
of Sweden, her experiences as a Red
Cross nurse, and her escape from the
revolutionists. Erskine says: "It is
the most interesting and illuminating
book I have recently read."

Other books of interest are "N. by
E.," by Rockwell Kent, which is an
exciting story of a voyage to Green-
land and of adventure in that north-
ern country; "Little America," by
Byrd, which is in its 200,000; "A Jew
in Love," by Ben Hecht; and "Cakes
and Ale," by Somerset Maugham.

Alumnae News

The Local Alumnae had their dinner
in the Pompeian Room of the Biltmore
on the night of the 21st with a most
attractive after-dinner program, in-
cluding some of the minuet dances of
Agnes Scott and a very clever little
skit by Mary Ben (Wright) Erwin, '25.

Agnes Scott students will perhaps
be interested to learn that Grace
Moore, star of "New Moon," shown
at the Fox last week, is a cousin of
Lynn Moore, '30.

Harriet Williams, '30, is now attend-
ing the Richmond Normal School. She
recently finished a course in short
story writing at the William and Mary
Extension School, Richmond, making
the highest mark in the class. Her
professor has advised her to send in
her stories to Harper's, Scribner's, and
the Atlantic Monthly.

Whether or not we have never done
anything more adventurous than "camp
out" overnight in our own back yards,
yet we thrill when we hear tjie leader's
challenge ring out: "Man cannot claim
mastery of the globe until he con-
quers the Antarctic continent. Down
there lies the greatest adventure left
in exploration and aviation." That
same high courage and indominable
will which carried Scott, Cook. Shack-
elton, and their valiant comrades over
the snow-whipped peaks flamed in the
heart, of Byrd when he said, "It is
with the inspiration of these great
men that my shipmates and myself will
tackle the problem where they left
off."

Adventurer Yes! A slender twelve-
year-old Virginia lad astonished his
aristocratic family by announcing that
he was going on a trip around the
world alone. Over the continent he
traveled to colorful 'Frisco, across the
typhoon breeding Pacific, through pic-
turesque Suez and India. Alone, he
came back to the Battery, where
twenty reporters met him some of
the same reporters who met Admiral
Byrd on his return from Antarctica.
At the outbreak of the World War,
Lieutenant Byrd of the U. S. Navy
was retired as unfit for active service
because of an injured leg. Undaunted
by this, he entered the flying service,
and won his wings. But because of
his injury he was not allowed to go
overseas; instead, he was stationed at
Halifax as a training officer.

Here began the realization of what
had long been his dream; he was able
to work on the possibilities of a trans-
Atlantic flight; later he hoped to con-
quer the North Pole. While he was
not allowed to carry out his plans im-
mediately, he did accompany the NC-4
on part of its famous flight to the
Azores. In 1924 the Navy sent him to
England to fly home on the R-32, and
it was only by accident that he missed
being on the ill-fated ship. Still nurs-
ing his dream of a polar flight, in 1925
Byrd obtained permission from the
Government to take three Navy planes
with the MacMillan expedition in
Greenland. From the experience ob-
tained here he was convinced of the
feasibility of a flight over the North
Pole; in 1926 Richard Evelyn Byrd
was the first man to look down from
the air on the North Pole.

Hardly was he back from this con-
quest when preparations were begun
for the flight from New York to Paris.
Thwarted by accident and weather, he
was unable to make the first flight;
but with his three comrades he proved
the reliability of the tri-motored plane
and its possibilities in hazardous fly-
ing. With energy and enthusiasm that
would have worn out a lesser man
Byrd now threw himself into the
preparations for the South Polar ex-
pedition a much more magnificent
and complex undertaking than either
of his pevious adventures. He raised
funds, selected the personnel, secured

We're flying high, but we don't have
a feeling we're falling! Why, we've
been rushing through so many head-
spins, tailspins, etc. this week that old
Aggie's inmates feel as free as a

things sky-high just watch 'em some-
time. They always cut a figure, you
can bank on that. (No, not bank,
'cause there ain't no future in banks).
Just the same, the way we've been
soaring this week is positively 'air-
raising. Just look!

Air Apparel

"To whom it may concern" here's
the last and latest in what the femi-
nine flyers are wearing, according to
Dorothy Long of Franklin Simon &
Company. If anyone is smitten with
the desire, hope, or ambition to mount
higher than the birds, here's some ad-
vice you'll want, be ye pilot or be ye
passenger.

Most of us as yet can only aspire to
be a passenger, but even travelling by
plane requires a special type of ward-
ribe. Knitted things either in silk
boucle or in woolen are indispensible.
They are light in weight, yet warm
when made of wool, and do not muss
easily. For a Northern climate Miss
Long suggests a practical three-piece
knitted suit worn under a tweed coat
with a fur collar. In the tropics one
may travel in a silk boucle knitted
costume, and a top coat in natural
camel's hair would be smart and
serviceable. Smart lacey tweeds might
also be used.

If one is fortunate enough to go on
a long journey and there are stops
over night, it is refreshing and restful
for the passenger to carry in light
luggage, made especially for plane
travel, a change of daytime costume.
When evening dress is required, a lace
evening gown in black or in white is
perfect for this wardrobe. It does not
wrinkle and is fresh and crisp looking
even though packed all day. Extra
blouses and scarfs would, of course,
be tucked into one's bag.

For those with such colossal ambi-
tions to pilot one of those fascinat-
ing mechanical birds, Miss Nichols,
who crossed the continent by plane,
stresses the absurdity of the show suit
in white for a pilot. She points out
the different things a pilot is called
upon to do, and shows how an all
white suit, unless of a wash fabric,
would be useless. Imagine tinkering
with an automobile engine in a nice
white frock!

Miss Long believes a leather jerkin
or jacket a necessity since it is wind-
proof. In warmer climates a sweater
may do, worn under the suit, but why
give up that chance for that chic
leather jacket?

There's your costume. All you need
now is a plane, and if you're really
bright, you'll see what Jean Gray can
do about it. Then if you're even
brighter, you'll meet (in some way or
other) a Beta Theta Pi at Tech who
has been blessed with a plane, to say
nothing of a car. Don't crowd! I don't
know his name. Does it matter?

Hi, Dizzy!

If you want the plane facts, I'm your
man. But I warn you, it may be on a
rather low plane. Anyway there's
plenty of high altitude stuff in this
literary agony, so I think we're en-
titled to a little dirt, don't you? So
with your permission, commission, con-
trition, and superstition (pardon me
while I give the needle a push). I'll
just speak "planely."

All of which doesn't remind me
weren't you fearfully impressed by
Eve Hill's father? I thought it was
quite breath-taking when he walked
in the dining room last week with all
the habiliments and swagger of a big
bad man from Texas, and instead of
shooting out the lights and galloping
away with all the food (or at least
one or two of our fair sex) calmly led
us in a word of prayer. Oh well, life
is full of little contrasts like that. Look
at Helen Duke and Elmore Bel-
lingrath. While Helen was getting
that ritzy Phi Delt fraternity pin, what
was Elmore getting? No, not vo-
do-de-o, but lumbago! And there's the
case of one Mary Miller, who got a bid
to a military ball at a Y. W. con-
ference. Let's all give the little girl
a big boot!

But, Dizzy dear, if you want some
really unclean soil you should just get
Penny Brown to tell you all about the
cogitations and agitations over this
Junior banquet date-getting proposi-
tion. Why, there're going to be so
many blind dates there that I'm afraid
they'll have to have the menus printed
in raised type. Pardon the pun, and
do let me tell you about Virginia Pet-
way's problem. She is torn between
two young men, declaring that she
simply can't decide because one will
impress us more, but the other will be
more impressed by us. Betty Bonham
has also been having a time tracking
her man down. She must think he's
pretty important to send his invitation
"care Tech"! But that's nothing to
Nell Starr, who handed in her man, ab-
solutely minus an address. The com-
mittee wanted to know who was this
person and did he go to Emory or the

Mizell. But don't get the idea this
Junior Banquet isn't going to be the
berries! Don't you think Lane Smith's
swain isn't coming all the way from
Davidson and Mary Miller's from Bir-
mingham, just for this swell blow-out.
Gee, it would be a shame, wouldn't it,
if their trains were late and they didn't
arrive until time for the seventh
course ?

From the sublime to the ridiculous,
that's Elizabeth Simpson's policy. Did
you hear about her unusual behavior
on a certain day last week? After
being admitted to that little society
that folks talk about so much, she
cancelled all her afternoon engage-
ments, went to town and got a marcel,
came home and dressed all up in her
Sunday best. She's one little Phi Bete
who's determined not to look the part.
And speaking of being dressed up,
there go that little Frances Duke and
Markie Mowry, dressed to kill, or
rather only to bleed those poor At-
lanta firms. They volunteered to get
ads, after hearing about Helen Duke's
big success. It seems Helen not only
got the ad, but the next week received
four complimentary theatre tickets
from her big advertising man.

Well, Dizzy, life is just too compli-
cated. Other people's affairs positive-
ly leave me all agog. What with Kitty
Woltz actually talking to Bobby Jones
and regularly dating the Tech Band
Master; with Blanche Lindsey com-
plaining that something ought to be
done about the week-ends being so
short and, incidentally, trying to de-
cide which of three dances to go to in
one night, I've decided there aren't
any "little things in life" left. So
guess I'll just get on my tricycle and
go home. You come to see me some-
time!

Main Challenged
By Day Students

Main dormitory, winner of the prized
Brown Jug in the inter-dormitory
basketball tournament held during
Health Week, received a challenge
from the Day Students to a game to
be arranged later. Main accepted the
challenge "with pleasure," and is eager
to prove her skill to maintain her title
as "dormitory champion." The chal-
lenge, which was posted on the bul-
letin board in the gym, reads as fol-
lows:

"In the interest of bigger and better
sports, we, the day student basketball
team, challenge the Main dormitory
team to a game, the date to be de-
cided on fo as to suit their earliest
convenience. (Signed) M. Tindale, V.
Petway, F. Riley, M. Belote, C. Hap-
poldt, and Austin."

The reply follows: "We accept with
pleasure. (Signed) M. Sturtevant, M.
Armstrong, N. Rogers, L. Heath, and
E. Moore, Porter Cowles."

The game promises to be one of the
most interesting and spirited of the
basketball season.

"Thought your wife's name was
Susan."
"So it is."

"Why do you call her Peggy all the
time?"

"Step into the garage a minute. You
see Peggy is short for Pegasus;
Pegasus was an immortal steed; and
an immortal steed is an everlasting
nag. Yes, Peggy dear, coming right
in!" Mountain Goat.

Sophomores Lose Heavily to
Juniors.

After the Senior-Freshman game
the ancient rivals the Juniors and
Sophomores clashed in a poor but
hard-fought game. Both teams want-
ed so much to win that neither could
play its best. But after the first quar-
ter the Juniors seemed to collect their
wits, and from then on played basket-
ball superior to that of the Soph-
omores. Annie Laurie Whitehead hurt
her knee in the first quarter. Bessie
Meade Friend played a fine game for
the Sophomores, and Penny Brown
shot some beauties for the Juniors.
Because of many rest periods due to
minor casualties and frequent time
outs, the game was long drawn out,
and when the end finally came, the
score stood 23-42 for the Juniors.

Evens Take Fast Game from
Odds.

A small crowd watched the Odd-
Even game on Founder's Day, which
was one of the best and fastest games
of the season. The Evens took the
lead in the first quarter and kept it
throughout the game, with Brown
and Kane constantly piling up the
score to give the Evens a final score of
23 to the Odd's 18. From the begin-
ning when the Evens came out in red,
white, and blue, singing, "Three Cheers
for the Red, White, and Blue!" and the
Odds followed, cheering for the Yel-
low, Black, and White, the enthusiasm
and pep was at its height. The first
quarter ended 4-6 with Brown scoring
most for the Evens and Cowles mak-
ing the two goals of the Odds. Schuess-
ler was right there, guarding closely
and playing a great game during the
second quarter. The half ended with
the Evens leading 12 to 5.

During the last half the Odds came
back stronger. Heath could not be
downed, and seemed to be all over
the court at once. All the forwards
began making more goals, and during
the last quarter tossed some nice long
shots. Cowles shot a beautiful one
from the side during the last few min-
utes of play. The game ended 23 to
18 in favor of the Evens. The line-
up was as follows:

Seniors Beat Freshmen In
Basketball.

Friday night at 7:30 o'clock the
Senior and Freshman classes met in
one of the closest, although not the
most exciting, games of the season.
Both teams played fairly steadily with
comparatively little fouling. Although
the game was slow, there were some
brilliant moments. Chopin shot
especially well, her balls not even
touching the backboard as they went
in. The Freshmen missed Nancy
Rogers, but in spite of their crippled
state they did remarkably well. The
score at the end of the game was 27-
24 in favor of the Seniors. The line-

The bow and arrow is making a

season! The Archery Club has made
plans for a spectacular tournament,
at which time the archery cup, a gift
of Sally Sutherland, Agnes Scott

second year that the cup has been
offered, last year's winner being Sallie
Peake. The tournament will be the
climax of an active season of archery.
Shooting practice every week will be
in charge of the Archery Club. The
bows, arrows, and targets are in prime
condition; and the beginning of the
spring season will see many would-be
Robin Hoods shooting on the green be-
side Rebekah.

Fire at Emory

The Emory Auditorium was burned
late Sunday night, February 22. The
building, of Georgia marble and re-
puted to be fire-proof, was gutted by
the flames. The fire started on the
main floor, which is used by the dra-
matic club, glee club, orchestra, and
other organizations. Many valuable
pianos and other musical instruments
were destroyed, besides folio music and
stage properties. The basement of the
building is used as a cafeteria. It
was damaged somewhat, but may pos-
sibly be used ur^til repaired. The
damages were estimated at between
$50,000 and $80,000. The auditorium,
built in 1926 at a cost of $150,000, was
partially covered by insurance.

The fire was first noticed about
10:50 Sunday night by Frank Andre,
a mail pilot flying from Richmond,
Va., to Atlanta. He swooped down over
Emory and aroused the students by
the roaring of his engines. They im-
mediately turned in an alarm. The
Atlanta and Decatur fire engines were
able to keep the fire from the sur-
rounding dormitories.

Flight-Then and Now

Life's such a vicious circle I'm sure
it's a wonder we aren't dizzy all the
time. Let me just tell you what I
heard the other day. To be sure, my
only experience with the upper atmos-
phere has been flying kites, and all
I know is what I hear round about;
but you've got to believe some things
you hear, and I know it's not a June
bug that's buzzing every time my
roommate nearly precipitates herself
out the window.

You remember those historic char-
acters, the Wright bothers, don't you?
(I rather imagine they hid their chins
in shrubbery like the Smith boys,
though, of course, one can't be sure.)
Well, they were among the first to
hitch their wagons to a star, more or
less literally speaking. They started
off in primitive gliders, and they'd get
a running start off a hilltop, and when
they untangled themselves at the bot-
tom, they'd be sure theyfd been flying,
just as Mother thought she was when
in youthful exuberance she Jumped off
the chicken-house roof, arms aflap,
and bent her nose. But, best beloved,
all things arise from humble begin-
nings, like Edward Bok and his shoe-
string; and now we think nothing of
sending all our letters air mail. (If
we have the nickel!)

To be sure, there was a period of

transition between Curtis and Orville
and the daily passenger service be-
tween Atlanta and New York. Even
ten years ago there were hardly any
navigation instruments but the famil-
iar NSWE compass, and the aviator
had to fly in sight of land to know
where he was. Then were developed
intricate instruments to guide planes
through fog and night; and Lindbergh
flew to Paris. Now they've installed
radio equipment in the mail planes,
and the pilots can while away the
dreary nights, swapping stories
through the clouds. When they put
in folding beds and Frigidaires, I'm
going to ask Santa for one.

But what was I saying when I flew
off on that tangent? Oh, yes, vicious
circles. . . . You know, the funny
thing about the Wrights and their
winged velocipedes is that after all
these years of airplane development,
gliders are coming into style again,
together with long dresses. The
Germans especially (they aren't allow-
ed many planes, so just for spite
they're teaching German youth to
glide) are interested in these con-
traptions. I shan't be the least bit
surprised one day to hear that they've
built an Eiffel tower, given some op-
timistic soul in a weatherproof glider
a big shove and that he's expected at
any moment to coast into Newfound-
land; and I fully expect my children to
scorn roller skating in favor of gliding
off the garage roof.

To Dunk or Crumble

"To dunk or to crumble" that is
the question. Do you dunk with Gov-
ernor Long of Louisiana and Mayor
Jimmy Walker or crumble with Andy
and Governor Carlton of Florida? For
the benefit of those who have not
eagerly followed the accounts of the
controversy which threatens to split

question is whether it is proper to
dip your cornpone in your potlikker
and crunch on it ravenously or to
crumble your cornpone in the famous
Southern dish. Governor Long unin-
tentionally began the agitation when
he made a casual remark about dunk-
ing cornbread.

The lowly cornpone and potlikker
has assumed a prominent place on
the menu of the fashionable Atlanta
tea room, where guests were asked to
vote for their preference. An over-
whelming majority favored crumbling.
Governor Miller of Alabama has rec-
ommended the crumble dish as a hot
consomme for the tired business men's
lunch. Surely Dr. Sweet would ap-
prove of its vitamin content?

small city. He spent two years in Ant-
arctica.

We see that this man is more than
an adventurer. He is explorer, execu-
tive, and also scientist. Few people
know that he is a skilful navigator and
an inventor. Many have thrilled at the
record of his daring exploits, but there
are few who know that much of his
success is due to the use of aeronauti-
cal instruments which he himself orig-
inated. Bubble sextant, sun compass,
drift indicator terms they are to most
of us, and that only. But to the Arctic
flier, thanks to Admiral Byrd, they
are gifts of life; they take his work
out of the gray mist of chance and
hazard into the clear luminence of
scientific knowledge.

Mr. Average Man reads of these
great expeditions, and while he thrills
at the daring exploits of the fliers, he
is apt to wonder, "What's the use of it
all?" Well, what is the use of it all?
Let us hear what the Commander him-
self said before he went: "There is
meteorological data to be gained from
the South Polar regions, the gaining
of which alone justifies the hazards
encountered. These regions can teach
us much about the geological ages into
which the past of the world is divided.
The more we can unfold of the past
and the unknown present, the better
we shall know what to do for the
future." Nor does Mr. Average Man
know that this prophecy was fulfilled;
that a whole continent was added to
man's known territory; that a whole
range of mountains was discovered;
that specimens of animals, birds, and
fish are now in our great museums
which would not be there but for this

GREAT SUCCESS

After each guest of honor made a
characteristic speech, the Sophomore
class replied with a song which most
aptly acknowledged each individual's
contribution to history. The ban-
quet closed with a song to the
Seniors, by their sister class, and the
Alma Mater.

Preceeding this, George Washington
issued a cordial invitation to all the
guests to attend the dance in the gym,
where there were dances ranging from
stately minuet to the most modern of
the modern exhibitions. A four-piece
orchestra furnished the music, and did
much to make the evening a success.

The entire congress of about twen-

into thirty discussion groups, and after
each presentation of a committee the
groups met to discuss the question. It
was generally agreed that these meet-

the entire congress.

From all the talks and discussions
the conclusion reached was that the
need of foreign missions is now as
great as ever, that the financial and
spiritual support of all church people
in America is needed, and that people
who feel it their duty and privilege
should still offer themselves as volun-
teers for the foreign mission field.

Blackfriars' Play
"Little Women" Is
A Great Success

Large Audience Views the
Popular Presentation from
Miss Alcott's Novel.

Jo, Meg, Laurie, Hannah Mullet!
What a host of memories the mere
mention of their names brings, for
who has not thrilled over the pages of
Louisa M. Alcott's "Little Women"?
And fully as delightful as the book,
was the play "Little Women" adapted
by Marion De Forest and presented
Saturday night, February 28, at the
Bucher Scott Gymnasium by the
Blackfriars Club of Agnes Scott Col-
lege. The production was directed by
Mrs. Mary Ben Erwin, of Decatur, Ga.,
and she had done her work well, for
never had the girls been more pro-
ficient in their lines and gestures. As
the play progressed and the lines of
the drama, the greater part of which
were taken directly from the novel,
"Little Women," were ably presented,
sighs of satisfaction arose from the
appreciative audience which filled the
gymnasium.

Each of the girls was especially well
suited to the role she portrayed, and
the interpretations of these various
parts were excellent. The cast of
characters was as follows:

Mr. March Jule Bethea

Mrs. March Margaret Ridley

Meg Mary Frances Torrance

Jo Anna Louise Chandler

Beth Andrewena Robinson

Amy Elizabeth Simpson

Aunt March Margaret Ellis

Mr. Lawrence Julia Grimmet

Laurie Margaret Belote

Professor Frederick Bhaer,

Marguerite Gerard

John Brooke Clara Knox Nunnally

Hannah Mullet Elizabeth Bolton

The curtain rose upon the sitting
room of the March House in Concord,
Mass., December, 1863. The girls were
seated about the fire busily discussing
their Christmas plans. Jo, with her
boyish ways; Meg, with her sweet,
womanly manners, golden-haired Amy,
and timid little Beth all were there
to delight the audience with their in-
teresting chatter. Then, in rapid suc-
cession, came scenes portraying the
sweet, simple lives of the girls. And
just as readers of the novel for years
have cried over Laurie's proposal to
Jo, and Beth's death, likewise was the
audience Saturday night deeply touch-
ed by these scenes. However, hoity-
toity old Aunt Mach, and Hannah Mul-
let, with her funny, absurd character-
istics, delighting the audience with
their idiosyncrasies, added just the
right touch of humor. And so well
were the scenes depicted that every
listener felt himself back in the days
of bonnets and long dresses, living
over again with the March girls their
joys and sorrows.

The old costumes of the actors and
actresses were delightful and the scen-
ery used in the various acts added
much to the effectiveness of the pro-
duction. Indeed every detail of the
play had been so admirably attended
to that each act was put on as smooth-
ly as a profesisonal presentation and
everyone was able to say enthusiastic-
ally, at the end of the production, "an-
other great success for the Black-
friars!"

Delegates Attend
Duke Conference

International Co-operation
Emphasized in Meeting.

The eighth annual Southern Stu-
dents' Conference on International Re-
lations was held this past week at
Duke University in Durham, N. C,
from February 26-28. Agnes Scott's
representatives were Marjorie Daniel,
Anita Boswell, Mry Hinck, and Dr.
Davidson; there were representatives
from twenty-nine southern colleges
and universities present. These dele-
gates were most pleasantly entertain-
ed during their stay; they were given a
reception Thursday night a luncheon
Friday noon, and a banquet Friday
night. All this added much to the
leisure of ther stay.

The purpose of the organization is
to foster a spirit of international co-
operation, and its final aim is to secure
international peace. Among the promi-
nent speakers at this conference were
M. Pierre de la Nux of Paris, the
League of Nations information section,
who spoke in a public lecture on dis-
armament; Dr. George G. Wilson, of
Harvard, who spoke on the effective-
ness of Treaties; Dr. Edward Corwin
of Princeton, who spoke on Chinese
Foreign Relations; Dr. J. F. Rippy, of
Duke; and Dr. Calvin Hoover, also of
Duke. The conference consisted of
round table discussions, lectures, busi-
ness sessions, and reports of local
clubs. Some of the topics under dis-
cussion in the round table groups were
the League of Nations, Russia, Latin
America, and American Tariff.

The conference reports were very
stimulating; the work of the local
clubs for the past year has been very
successful and the outlook for the ac-
complishment of their purpose is opti-
mistic. The conference next year will
be held at Rollins College, Orlando,
Fla.

Junior class and we know that every-
one will be at the gym March 2, at
8:30 to see the Juniors explain "Cents

Friend Junior doesn't choose to tell
very much about this stunt of hers,
but we have heard that the story is
about an artist, Penn Ington Brush,
who wants to marry a girl and can't.
Friend Junior will not tell us whether
he finally marries her or not and all
we can do is to hope for the best, but
be prepared for anything Friend
Junior tells us that "Cents and Non-
sense" is a Big Depression. Neverthe-
less we can't be depressed for very
long with a real honest-to-goodness

which is a Depression Chorus. Diana
Dyer is in charge of the dancing and
the writing committee is composed of
Pufty Herrin, chairman; Peggy Link,

Full Auditorium
Sees Byrd's Film
Of South Pole

Last Lecturer of Season Has
As Subject Explorer's Life
in Little America.

The spirit of adventure, in the per-
son of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, came
to Agnes Scott Thursday, February 26.
Admiral Byrd's lecture on his experi-
ences in Little America was not only
interesting, but very enlightening.
Most people know that Byrd was the
first man to fly over the South Pole,
but until they have heard him lecture
and have seen the motion pictures
taken of his expedition, they cannot
realize the great importance of the
work accomplished by this expedition.
From his stay in the Antarctic region,
Byrd brought back important geologi-
cal knowledge, and by his exploration
of that region was able to claim one-
half a million square miles of terri-
tory for the United States.

Admiral Byrd, after being intro-
duced by Mr. J. K. Orr, chairman of
the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees,
began hs talk by contrasting the North
and South Pole. The two are very
different, he said. While at times part
of the North Polar region is free from
snow and ice, the Antarctic, which is
in the clutches of an ice age, is always
covered with snow. The region of
the South Pole is colder and windier
than the Arctic region in fact, the
average temperature which the Byrd
expedition recorded for their year in
Little America is the coldest average
temperature ever recorded. Though
some animals sojourn during the sum-
mer around the South Pole, there is no
real Antarctic life, as there are cer-
tain plants and even people in the
Arctic region. At the South Pole,
there is no life beyond the continent;
in Byrd's words, "everything is cold,
silent, dead."

After this introduction, the motion
pictures of the expedition were shown,
and the Admiral explained them. The
first picture was a map showing the
course of the two ships of the expedi-
tion, which was from New York city,
down the Atlantic seaboard, through
the Panama canal, across to New
Zealand, and then down to the Antarc-
tic. The two ships were the City of
New York and the Eleanor Boling,
the latter being the supply ship. The
City of New York is a regular old-time
sailing vessel built in 1882; Byrd ex-
plained that this ship was chosen for
the expedition because of its sturdy
build which would enable it to battle
its way through the ice packs. The
Eleanor Boling is of metal. The first
sign of the Antarctic, Byrd said, was
an iceberg 250 feet high. Then they
came to a great ice pack, through
which they had to fight their way.
The supply ship, unequal to this task,
returned to New Zealand. After bat-
tling for ten days, the City of New
York made her way through the ice
into the open sea. On Christmas day,
three days after they had broken
through the ice pack, they sighted the
sheet of ice, or barrier, which is 1000
miles long and 500 miles wide and floats
on the surface of the sea. After one-
half year of sailing, the Byrd expedi-

White House Scene
Of Junior Banquet

Hoasc Sponsors This Social
Event Saturday, Feb. 28.

The annual Junior Banquet held last
Saturday night, February 28th, in
White House dining room was a bril-
liant success. Never before has there
been sesn at Agnes Scott such a gay
gathering

The guests were received in the Day
Student room in Main by Sara Lane
Smith, the chairman of the reception
committee.

In the dining room the color scheme
of yellow and green was artistically
carried out. Crepe paper streamers
of those shades decorated the columns
and the long tables were beautiful with
bowls of yellow daffodils, tall green
candles, and dainty silhouette place
cards. A four-course dinner was
served, fruit cocktail, chicken dinner,
pineapple and carrot salad, charlotte
and cake, and after-dinner mints.

During the dinner tthe Agnes Scott
A. P. D. C. orchestra played many
popular songs besides those of Emory
and Tech. The guests were entertain-
ed also by Dot Cassels, who did a tap
dance in an attractive bell-boy cos-
tume, and the Thompson twins who
sang "Sweet Jennie Lee," "I Miss a
Little Miss," and "A Man Without a
Woman."

At Miss Hopkins' table were the two
sponsors of the Junior class, Miss
Haines and Miss Hale.

After the banquet they returned to
Main where after dinner coffee was
served by the members of Hoasc and
other Seniors. The room was dec-
orated with bouquets of daffodils and
bridal wreath. After coffee the party
attended the Blackfriars' play "Little
Women" in the gym.

Dramatic Club Will Enter
"Men Folk" in State Con-
test at Brenau.

A. S. Girls Appear
In Atlanta Papers

Radio Publicity Given to
Dramatic and Glee Clubs.

All year and especially lately the
three Atlanta papers have been carry-
ing numerous pictures of the Agnes
Scott girls. Sports, studiousness, and
society alike are bringing the Hotten-
tots to the public eye. In the past
few weeks the papers have been full
of pictures of Sarah Hill, the winner
of the health contest. From almost
every paper we have opened lately
Sarah has smiled up at us. Quite a
few of the Hottentots have been
breaking into society too. Every set
of photographs taken at the big dances
contains at least two or three Scotters.
Pictures of the new members of Phi
Beta Kappa have appeared in almost
every paper. And even Buttrick Hall,
building of our pride and joy, added
to this publicity by getting its picture
in the Journal.

Not only has Agnes Scott gained
public notice through the papers but
also over the radio. About two weeks
ago Miss Gooch presented over WSB a
playlet that we may be truly proud of.
Several times the Glee Club has been
on the air.

The play, "Op O' My Thumb," by
Frederick Fenn and Richard Pryce,
will be given on March 14th, by Black-
friars. The story deals with a little
waif, who works in a laundry, but
dreams of romance. All the other girls
have many friends and look forward
eagerly to holidays, but poor little
Amanda always has to make up stories
so that she will not appear an orphan.
Finally, romance does come to Amanda
in the form of Mr. 'Orace Smith, who
leaves a shirt at the laundry to be
washed. And then but come to the
play and see what happens! The mem-
bers of Blackfriars in the cast are
Julia Thompson, Mary Frances Tor-
rence, Mary Esther Wallace, Elizabeth
Simpson, Ruth Dunwody, and Weesa
Chandler.

"Men Folk," a one-act play, is the
one entered by Blackfriars in the state
dramatic tournament to be held March
27th at Brenau under the auspices of
the Southern Association of Teachers
of Speech. This play reminds one of
Synge's "Riders To the Sea." It is very
strong for a play of its type, having
only three feminine characters, the
grandmother, her daughter and grand-
daughter. It depicts the struggle for
existence of sea-faring folk and deals
with a dramatic incident in the lives of
these three women, waiting for the
only remaining man of the family to
come home from a sea voyage. Julia
Thompson plays the role of the grand-
mother; Mary Lilias Garretson, the
daughter; and Elizabeth Simpson, the
granddaughter. Agnes Scott has a par-
ticular interest in the coming contest,
since Miss Gooch, as third vice presi-
dent of the Association, has the im-
portant position of chairman of all the
southern states' tournaments. The
Georgia Tournament has Miss LaFleur
of Brenau as its chairman. The play
will be given here at Agnes Scott be-
fore it is given at Brenau.

Those interested in Blackfriars will
be glad to learn of several compliments
that have recently been paid the club.
The Commercial High School has ask-
ed the club to give "Men Folk" for
them. After hearing the recent play,
"Love Is Like That," by Colan Kents,
given by members of Blackfriars over
the radio, the Uncle Remus Associa-
tion of Atlanta has asked the club to
produce a one-act play for them. It is
possible that either "Men Folks" or
"Love Is Like That" may be given for
them.

EDITORIAL

Not quite six months ago girls were brought from many parts
of the country to Agnes Scott, and were suddenly plunged into a
life as new and as strange to them as Alice's Wonderland. They
were bewildered by the number of unfamiliar faces. They could
not get used to the maddening regularity. They were overwhelm-
ed by problems to be solved without the help of their parents.
The responsibility that had looked so good from a distance became
a surprisingly heavy load on inexperienced shoulders, and the first
few weeks were hard ones for those very green Freshmen. Then,
little by little, things began to assume their true proportions. Col-
lege life was found not to be such a terribly hard existence after
all, and during the months that followed, the crowd of girls,
brought together by studies and various activities, became a united
class. Now, with our first student elections at hand and, after
those, three years of work and play as an organized group, it may
be well to think seriously of how we can solve two problems that
face all large groups of people and that sometimes play havoc in
the class organizations of colleges.

The first of these is the much discussed question of cliques.
At the beginning of the school year it is natural that roommates
and girls who live near each other should be together as much as
possible but if these small groups become self-sufficient, careless
of whether or not they meet their fellow students or contribute to
the work of the class, there is a division harmful to the spirit of
that class. Agnes Scott is fortunate in that it has no sororities to
complicate this problem, but a lesser complication is found in the
mechanical division of the student body into two parts: those who
dine in White House and those who dine in Rebekah Scott. Par-
ticipation in student activities seems to be the best solution of this
difficulty, and it offers an opportunity for combatting the division
which we surely cannot afford to miss, for the achievements of a
class are in direct proportion to the loyalty and cooperation of its
members, and clanishness is the age-old enemy of cooperation.

The second problem, class politics, which is sometimes an
exaggerated form of the first, may be found to a small extent in
almost every college community, but having gained a foothold it
is a dangerous thing capable of ruining the reputation of a school.
Sometimes it is easy to "follow the leader" in voting rather than
bo stand up for one's own convictions against popular opinion; it is
easy to vote for one's friends rather than to think of the good of
the class. But clear thinking and loyalty to convictions are neces-
sary if we would be free from petty politics, which have under-
mined the principles of student organizations in many colleges.

These, then, are the chief problems which confront the Fresh-
men on their class' "coming of age." If the class of '34 can avoid
division by cliques and can remain free from political wrangles, it
will stand an excellent chance of doing fine work and of being a
credit to Agnes Scott.

Saturday evening, February 21,
found many Agnes Scott alumnae at
their radios, listening to the Founder's
Day Program. Groups of alumnae in
all parts of the country gathered for
dinner, and enjoyed the program to-
gether. Many telegrams to Miss Hop-
kins and Dr. McCain told of their ap-
preciation of it. Helen Brown Wil-
liams, president of the class of '29,
enjoyed the splendid program as she
listened in from Little Rock Ark.
Martha Stackhouse sent best wishes
for the program from Stanton, Va., and
Sara Townsend, '30, was listening in
with a "bunch of old squatters" in
Opelika, Ala.

Lenore Gardner, '29, was married on
February 21 to Clarence McMillan, of
Camilla, Ga.

"Contagion," a comedy in three acts,
which was presented by the Atlanta
Woman's Club on February 17, was
written by Jean Alexander, '30.

Jane Bailey Hall Hefner, '30, is
visiting in Shelbyville, Ky.

Ruth Worth, '29, was secretary of
the Student Volunteer Convention held
in Farmville, Va.

Georgia Watson, '28, is visiting Miss
Leslie Gavlord.

The Campus Comments of Mary
Baldwin has had experience in
Getting Out a Paper

Getting out a paper is no picnic.

If we print jokes, folks say we are
silly.

If we don't, they say we are too
serious.

If we publish original matter, they
say we lack variety.

If we publish things from other
papers, we are too lazy to write.

If we stay on the job we ought to
be out rustling news.

If we are rustling news, we are not
attending to business in our own de-
partments.

If we don't print contributions, we
don't show proper appreciation.

If we print them the paper is filled
with junk.

Like as not some fellow will say we
swiped this from an exchange.

So we did. K. G. U. Log Book.

This comment on bells comes from
the Parley Voo of Converse College:

Bells! Bells! Bells! The first thing
in the morning. We get up by bells;
we eat by bells; we read by bells; we
study by bells; we sleep by bells in
fact we live by bells.

Sometimes the ringing of the bells is
a welcome sound, but then again we
hear them with exasperation. Per-
haps a crowd is gathered in a room
having a wonderful time telling jokes
exchanging experiences discussing
those new dresses which have just
come in down town. And in the midst
of all this, a bell rings. Someone jumps
up shouting, "Oh, gee! There's that
bell. Must go dress for gym. Bye."
And in a flash the party is broken up.
Or maybe one has an unusual amount
of studying to do. And in no time a
bell rings study hour is over, and
the noise begins. From the room next
door the strains of "I'm Crying My-
self to Sleep" from across the hall
comes "Hurt" and downstairs some-
one is enjoying (?) "Mule-Face
Blues." Study on? Gee whiz!

Perhaps the climax of an exciting
story has been reached the most re-
cent novel. The toll of a bell! Down
goes the book and out the lights!
These are the times that will try any
girl's patience. But, in a long tire-
some lesson! Eyes fastened on a watch
and every single girl counting the
seconds until Charlie will ring the bell!

When we stop to think though, we
realize that these bells are really most
helpful. I dare say they have taught
us all many things which we never
learned before we came to Converse.
Now we are prompt; we are accurate;
we can concentrate; we value each
minute. At home we never think of
fifteen minutes as any length of time;
but here fifteen minutes is an age, in
which countless things may be ac-
complished.

Agnes Scott, so we hear, needs
money. This seems to be one of the
necessary evils in every college, but
generally everything possible is done
to gratify this need. However, at
Agnes Scott one method of obtaining
money, though it is an indirect one, has
been left untried. Everyone knows that
a great deal of money is spent on Sun-
days at the various drugstores. Some-
how, not going to classes seems to give
one time to think of the stomach, and
there is a steady stream of orders
from Hewey's and Lawrence's all day
long. Now we think that the Tea
House would be the "answer to the
maiden's prayer" as it were. Why
couldn't it be kept open on Sundays
and, although Dr. Hewey and Dr.
Lawrence probably wouldn't particu-
larly appreciate this advice, keep on
the campus some of the money that
goes into their cash registers.

The Book Shelf

Quiet is something that one reads
about but never experiences. Although
there are prescribed hours for it, they
never seem to be observed. All dur-
ing study hours the continual buzz of
talking reaches the ears and occas-
ionally the jazzy notes of "Ding Dong
Daddy" or "Betty Co-ed" may be
heard from nearby portables. Even
during the blessing before meals there
is always an undercurrent of giggles
and whispers. Evening prayers also
receive their share of the loquacity of
the campus. Do people never feel the
need of quiet? or are those who do
feel it freaks? No one seems to be
able to carry on an evening of study
without a steady accompaniment of
shouts and laughter from the lucky
ones who have nothing else to do. But
it seems to me that the girl who has
a theme to write or calculus to do de-
serves some consideration, and it's up
to all the rest of us to give it to her.

Some of our fond parents had the idea
that at Agnes Scott their daughters
would become even more polished and
refined. And strange to say, we
thought so too for the first week or
so but after that! In the dining room
especially, we seemed to lose all trace
of daintiness. The lack of manners
there, seems deplorable. I wonder if
all mothers groaned in spirit when
their daughters came to meals during
the Christmas holidays. I know one
girl whose father told her that he
thought her table manners when she
left were atrocious, but that he had
now concluded that they were perfect
then! It's pitiful, isn't it? And there
are so many ways we could improve
them.

For instance, we could stress the
habit of waiting until the hostess has
served everyone before we begin eat-
ing. Of course everyone knows such
things, but one so easily gets out of
the habit of doing them. Then, too, I
think we should be more careful
about regarding the silent period for
grace. Have you ever noticed how
irreverent even an occasional giggle
sounds then? There are lots of other
things that could be discussed, but if
we could just observe the common

What do you suppose I discovered
on the Book Shelf in the library the
other day? An absorbing volume writ-
ten by Pincess Der Ling, who lectured
here at Agnes Scott in December. It
has a yellow binding, yellow being the
imperial color of the Chinese Manchu
count. Its title is "Two Years in the
Forbidden City." Even these external
features are arresting.

The printed pages and rich illus-
trations, however, are even more allur-
ing. They contain the most interest-
ing descriptions of the Manchu court.
The Princess calls a certain structure
"a magnificent building just one mass
of exquisite carving." She tells
of the costumes with their peacock-
feathers, jade, pearls, and embroidered
peonies (and on the first day of sum-
mer the ladies must begin to wear jade
hairpns in pace of the gold)! She
describes the pork prepared in ten
different ways and the bread made into
flowers and butterflies! What pretty
court legends she introduces, such as
that of the rabbit in the moon and
the cock in the sun! She tells of cere-
monies: placing a candy offering be-
fore the Kitchen God, decorating each
tree and flower of the garden with a
piece of red silk on the birthday of the
flowers and trees. One of the most in-
teresting descriptions is that of a play
at the court theater. The scenery is
particularly clever: a cotton cloud, a
pink satin lotus flower whose petals
open revealing a lady buddha in white
satin.

But even these fascinating details
would become tiresome if they were
not woven into a story. This story is
of the first year that Princess Dei-
Ling served the late Empress Dowager
as lady-in-waiting. In her lecture she
recounted some of the incidents, but
the book contains many more which
are sure to interest any reader. Try
it, Hottentots, and take a free trip to
China.

Despite the fact that the Junior
Banquet and Blackfriars play occupy
the central interests of our beauteous
belles this week-end, there is much
agitating off-campus among the Sen-
iors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Un-
wearied by the recent mid-term dances
at Tech, we find our dazzling debu-
tantes anxiously wondering, "Oh,
where on earth shall I stay?" and
"What the heck can I wear?" as much
as ever.

The Knaves who wear Sigma Nu
pins seem to hold first place in popu-
larity with our Queen of Hearts this
week-end through the Phi Sigs are not
far behind. Who said that Agnes
Scott didn't go out for society?
They've started off the mad march
season with even more "tea parties"
than usual.

Nana Seeley and Margaret Rogers
attended a dinner bridge party Wed-
nesday night at Mrs. A. V. Pollock's
home in Atlanta.

Mrs. M. A. Hughes entertained
Frances Arnold at her home in Atlanta
Saturday night and Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Watson from
Opelika, Ala., visited their daughter,
Martha North, last week-end.

Winona Eubanks and Betty Pres-
ton spent Saturday night with Grace
and Marjorie Woodward.

Emily Norton from Wesleyan visited
Helen Duke and Lib Woolfolk.

The Phi Sigma Kappa dance Satur-
day night was attended by Mary Dun-
bar and Sally Williams.

Mildred Miller's father spent Tues-
day with her.

Sally Williams and Mart Tower went
to the Phi Sig pig-roast Friday night.

Mary MacDonald spent the week-end
with Mrs. F. A. Fraser in Atlanta.

The Sigma Nu formal dance Satur-
day night drew many attendants from
Agnes Scott, among them being Saxon
Pope, Mary Davis, and Mattie Lou
Mason.

Greetings and Gumdrops, Sis, Old Gal:

Omie! Omy! and such a lot as has
been going on and on and on lately.
Founder's Day The Lecture The
Junior Banquet "Little Women" it's
endless! I feel as dizzy and rushed as
the White Rabbit!

But wasn't the lecture grand? and
"Admirable" Admiral Byrd certainly
lived up to the greatest of expecta-
tions! Didn't you adore his cute little
penguins ? ! and I'll never rest peace-
fully until I know how to do the seal
wiggle! But honestly now, did you
ever see as inspiring a picture? and
with a gentleman like Mr. Byrd to ex-
plain it to us as it went along! I feel
just like walking out and discovering a
new world!

Speaking of the lecture I want to
know something. Who was the tall,
wild, bushy-haired youth with the
eight month's (the Hatter says it look-
ed more like eight year's!) growth on
his chin? That certainly wasn't downy
fuzz he sported! Rumor hath it that
he is a Cuban who attends Emory
but my own personal opinion is that
he is a Bolshevik in disguise! I only
hope his little idiosyncrasy isn't catch-
ing. Personally I can't quite feature
the parlors full of bluebeards or what
have you, on Saturday nights!

By the way did you hear about
the great abscondment (excuse me,
Miss Laney, I know that is a coin-
age!) ? Our poor dear handsome Pro-
fessor hath at last been ensnared and
led off to nothing more or less than
far-famed Duke! Well, my dear, if
you'll believe me it took three to do
it and they were no more than the
illustrious Marjorie Daniels, Mary
Hiner and Anita Boswell!!!

Oh Sis did you ever hear any-
thing like Founder's Day? Never
have I seen such a charming array of
ladies and gentlemen. My old friend,
the Queen of Hearts' croquet game
just isn't in it in comparison. Didn't
you just love the way that little
Martha Tower Washington looked into
the eyes of tall, handsome Shirley
George? Personally, I think the whole

group tripped a mighty light fantastic
in a mighty pretty way. And didn't
the rest of us look grand? I saw so
many pretty, striking, dashing,
swanky, smart, new evening gowns
that I finally got dizzy and discouaged
and slunk away home in my two-year-
old rag! But, seriously, don't you wish
that the public could see us when we
are dressed up? Then they wouldn't
say that we're perpetual athletes or
grinds.

You asked "Was the Junior Ban-
quet successfu?" With such a pro-
gram, feast, play and men how could
it be otherwise? Didn't Jennie and
Steve look happy in spite of the tour-
ney that little frat "needle" (as Use
says) took not long ago? And while
we're on "needles" have you noticed
Caroline Waterman's ? From all I hear
that swanky femme isn't so slow!

Oh, say had you wondered at
Peggy White's wan looks and frequent
journeys to the special board lately?
Why, even I noticed it. However, the
shadows have all disappeared now
and why? The telephone, my dear, is
the blessing to all humanity at times
and Morris just made Time with his
blessing all the way from Helena, Ark.

Did you hear about Dot Cassel's
man? She met him at Penny's he's
a Senior at Tech and a Beta Kappa!
and did he fall for that cute little
carrot top ? Well, I should say so or
maybe you can explain that severe ex-
pression on his face while Dot did her
adorable little Bell Hop dance at the
Junior Banquet?

And while I'm on the subject of
severe expressions, can anyone explain
Adele Arbuckle's hour of joy after the
volley-ball game the other night? I
declare, the dear girl sat for a solid
hour oblivious to all shouts and de-
mands for books from us poor pur-
suers of knowledge with the most
blissful expression on her face. I can't
decide whether she had at last at-
tained her life ambition and succeeded

An examination prepared by Thomas

and the highest grade made was 55.1.
Some of the hardest questions were,
"Who was Tillman Riemenschneider ?"
"Who were the Piccalimini ?" and "For
what is Abu Simbel noted?" The

Seniors Are Badly Defeated
By Sophomores.

The Sophomores met the Seniors
Wednesday night in a well-fought, in-
teresting game. The Sophs had some
of their best players who have been
out the last few games back with
them, and the entire team played ex-
cellent basketball. The passing
throughout the game was splendid.
Although some of the Senior stars
were not present, the upperclassmen
put up a good fight. The Sprinkle
twins and Jean Grey were outstand-
ing. The final score was 36 to 14 in
favor of the Sophomores.

Last Wednesday night the Fresh-
man team went into its semi-final
game against the Juniors with a de-
termination to "do or die," and from
the first tip-off pluck and luck were on
their side. Two goals were made be-
fore the Juniors realized what had
happened, and when the upper-class-
men succeeded in rallying their forces
the Freshmen were well in the lead,
playing their best game of the year.
In the second half the Juniors, handi-
capped by losing some of their regular
players, made a good fight and, under
the leadership of Bowman at center,
staged a come-back. They didn't come
quite far enough back, however, for
at the whistle the score was 44 to 30
in favor of the "Freshies." It was
their first victory over the Juniors and
one of the most exciting games of the
season.

The old order changeth Monday,
March 1st, when the spring outdoor
sports take the place of the winter in-
door ones. Now Hottentots will go
native in the balmy spring weather
and there will be track, swimming,
baseball, tennis, archery, and golf, as
usual.

Miss Haynes will have charge of
track, a major sport. The managers
have not yet been appointed.

Swimming will also be under Miss
Haynes and there is talk of its becom-
ing a minor sport, but this has not
been definitely decided upon. In that
case there would be swimming meets
but no points would be given. This
shouldn't take away from the joy of
swimming, though we Hottentots go
in for fun, not for points.

Baseball, which remains a major
sport, will be popular in the coming
season. It is under the direction of
the students, advised by Miss Sinclair,
and class managers are being chosen
by Kitty Woltz.

Miss Sinclair also has charge of rid-
ing, tennis, and archery. The Archery
Club will be organized again as in the
Fall season. Bessie Meade Friend is
manager with Diana Dyer as her as-
sistant.

Golf this season will be instructed
by Miss Wilburn, and many are plan-
ning to participate in this sport, in
hopes of getting their pictures in the
paper or of actually learning to hit the
little white ball.

While some of us bat tennis balls,
some gallop gleefully over the coun-

Baseball Season
Is Here

Spring! At once our thoughts turn
toward baseball. America's national
sport. Everyone follows the news-
papers for news of the big leaguers,
and many are the conjectures about
probable heavy-hitters. Here in Agnes
Scott baseball is eagerly followed.
Games have record attendances and
those unfortunates who miss one
eagerly peruse the Aggie for news of
their favorites. Let's everybody turn
out and make this a bumper year for
A. S. C. baseball.

tryside, some hunt in the rough for
golf balls, some hit the bull's eye, some
become Babe Ruths, some splash and
dive in the gorgeous pool, and some
exert might and main on the track
field, May Day will be in the making.
Miss Wilburn, faculty chairman of the
May Day committee, and Sarah Lane
Smith, student chairman, have charge
of the work and arrangements.

A very promising gym season is in
store, and a change will seem good to
us. Happy spring season to you!

Columbus Girls
Visit Agnes Scott

A group of prospective Freshmen,
Jean Dexter, Louisa Cargill, Claire
Johnson, Emily McGahee, Ella Kirven,
and Susan Colquitt from Columbus Hi,
spent the past week-end here as guests
of the Alumnae Association. The pro-
gram of entertainemnt for them has
been most enjoyable. Friday night, the
swimming pool was opened for them
at ten o'clock. They spent Saturday
morning in seeing the sights of Agnes
Scott; Saturday afternoon, they went
to the Fox, and completed the day by
seeing "Little Women," given by the
Blackfriars. Sunday they had dinner
on the campus, and left for Columbus
at three o'clock, declaring that they
were from now on true Hottentots.

Lately the Hottentots have been
showing their mechanical ability by in-
stalling radios in their rooms. We
admit that they are only crystal sets,
but the process of putting them up in
one small room with entirely too
many corners is so complicated that
when one, after long weary hours of
tacking and adjusting, has finally com-
pleted the work we firmly believe that
she is worthy of a degree from Tech.

Only those who have struggled long
hours to untangle the stubborn knots
of the copper wire and have fastened
it securely to the baseboard with in-
sulated tacks, exhibiting the skill of a
contortionist as they stretched it
around the corners, and who have final-
ly found the sensitive spot on the
crystal, and have at last heard the
| welcome voice of Red Cross "This is
WSB, the Atalnta Journal, Atlanta,
Ga. The Journal covers Dixie like the
dew can appreciate the true diffi-
culty of the work. But they feel that
their toil is not in vain as they lie
luxuriously in their beds listening to
Rudy Vallee or Amos 'n' Andy. Though
sometimes extemporaneous noise from
a passing train or street car drown out
croons and jokes alike, making them
wonder for a moment if it was all
worth while, they have spent many
lazy study hours annexed to the ear-
phones.

In fact, the Hottentots have de-
veloped such skill in handling these
contraptions that even now they are
fast becoming engineeresses and may
some day be better wreckers than the
Ramblin' Wrecks themselves.

What
Is a Redingote?

A Redingote is a dress within a coat. The
dress may be a print or solid color but it
must be light and bright. The coat is but-
toned or loose three-quarter or long sleeves
belted or not but it must be of a darker ma-
terial and full length. And what could be
smarter, more serviceable and more econ-
omical than a dress and a contrasting coat
all for the price of a dress. Allen's offers an
individual selection of Redingotes. Come to

Ye Olde Time

Luxuries at A. S.

Perhaps you did not know that once
upon a time there was some luxury at
Agnes Scott, but an interview with
Mary Cox would quickly convince you
that there was. Mary said that she
was the oldest "work-servant" at old
A. S. C. and she told us a true tale of
some real luxury which was here when
she herself was young".

After Mr. Shonts, who was a rich
"street car magnate of Chicago," and
his wife visited a friend in Decatur
and "fell in love" with Agnes Scott,
they decided that it was just the place
for their two daughters, Marguerite
and Theodore, who had never been to
a school before, but had travelled ex-
tensively and had governesses. Mary
Cox was hired to be their private
maid. When the girls first came to
this school, Marguerite was thirteen
and Theodore nine. They were both
blonds "like their mother" (Mary Cox
says "They were tol'rable good-look-
ing, but I prefer brunettes). In order
to "match their complexions" their
room, which was number 55 on second
floor Inman, was furnished and paint-
ed in white, with window seats and
curtains of blue. Of course their par-
ents fitted it out. Later, one room
"got too small because they had got-
ten big girls," and then they had a
"suit" of rooms at the end of the hall.
These two rooms, one a bedroom and
another the living room, were also done
in white and blue.

The girls' parents were very indul-
gent. On Theodore's tenth birthday
an elaborate party was given, with
Miss Nanny Massie for chaperon.
They had a private delicatessen who
fixed them anything they wished to
have all during the day and nice little
lunches when they had company. When
asked about their clothes, Mary Cox
said, "Oh, don't talk! Each of 'em
had two big trunks apiece of the best-
looking clothes you ever did see." Their
mother came to see them about once
every two weeks, but their father,
since he was such a busy man, could

Former Student
Tells of Old Days

"Oh, you don't have nearly as many
thrills as we had when I was a day
student at Agnes Scott," declared Mrs.
J. L. Campbell of 1315 Fairview, At-
lanta. I don't think we can admit the
entire truth of that statement but
we'll have to admit that they certainly
had thrills. Mrs. Campbell, who was
Mary Jones, attended the Institute
from 1892 to 1893 and she still thinks
her class the best that was ever grad-
uated here.

The first year of her attendance Mrs.
Campbell and the other day students
rode from Atlanta to Decatur in a
Georgia Railway train. Not only that,
but they were chaperoned! "I suppose
we needed it," Mrs. Campbell smiled.
"You see, we were all between the
ages of thirteen and fifteen." The
next year, however, they rode in style
on a dummy train that ran from the
capitol at Washington and Hunter
Streets to Decatur and they were un-
chaperoned. The dummy was pulled
by a dinky little engine and had but
one coach, and oh, the cinders!" said
Mrs. Campbell.

The girls who were to go to Agnes
Scott had to walk from their home to
the dummy's starting place. If the day
student now turns the corner of Pryor
and Edgewood in time to see the tail
end of the Decatur car receding in the
distance, does she sit down and bemoan
her fate? She does not. She consoles
herself with the knowledge that an-
other will be along in a few minutes.
Quite different would your feelings
have been if you had missed the
dummy, for another came by in some-
thing like an hour!

The conductor made up for every-
thing though, it seems. He knew all
the girls by name and would im-
mediately miss one if she were absent.
Mrs. Campbell said that once Miss
Hopkins called a meeting of the day
students to beg them to refrain from
flirting with the conductor. And this
was in 1895! All school was out at
two o'clock, and when the students
were ready to leave there was the con-
ductor waiting patiently for them.
Nor would he leave until all the girls
had been accounted for.

The route lay almost entirely
through the woods, and there were

only three stations along it: Fair
Crossing, Edgewood, and Kirkwood.
Somewhere along the way the sturdy
little engine would have to stop to fill
its tank with water from a reservoir
beside the track. While the dummy
was stopped, the girls would get off
to search for wild flowers. When the
dummy had drunk its fill, the conduc-
tor called the girls by ringing his bell
and blowing his whistle, and conscien-
tiously counted heads.

Not only was the little dummy a
faithful means of transportation. It
was the setting for romance. Mrs.
Campbell actually met her future hus-
band there among the cinders! He was
a young surveyor going daily to his
work of surveying around East Lake.

"But the greatest thrill of all my
years at Agnes Scott," said Mrs.
Campbell, "was when Main building
was erected." All the students were
allowed to lay a brick in the bay win-
dow of Main building. Mrs. Campbell
laid two. Her best friend was sick at
the timt and Mrs. Campbell placed her
own ana her friends. "So I was doubly
thrilled," she said. "I have watched
with deep interest the other buildings
being added, but I feel that none em-
bodies the feeling with which the first
'girls' helped to build Agnes Scott,"
she added.

It was not all play and no work,
however. The girls of 1891 worked
plenty, according to Mrs. Campbell
Miss Hopkins and Miss McKinney saw
to that, and one day Dr. Gaines, who
taught them Bible on Monday, Wed-
nesday, and Friday, gave them the
whole book of Deuteronomy for the
next assignment. "We took that as a
compliment to our ability later," she
added slyly.

"I feel very grateful for all that our
school has meant in my life, and those
days, long ago, were very happy ones,"
she concluded.

We agree that they must have been.

tion had reached its destination, the
barrier under whose snows the men
were to live for fourteen months. On
New Year's eve, they were searching
for a base, which they finally located
at a place eight miles from the ship.
By this time, the Eleanor Boling, carry-
ing the heavy material, such as air-
planes, had made her way through the
ice and was drawn up on the barrier to
be unloaded. Unloading was very dan
gerous as the ship was on an ice foot
which might have broken at any time
without warning. The task was suc-
cessfully accomplished, however, and
no men were hurt. Transporting the
One of the first pieces of exploration
was done by Dean Smith in an air-
plane in which he flew to the foot of
the polar mountain, a ridge surround-
ing the plateau that has the South
Pole as its center. He put up a base
at the foot of the mountain, which
was to be of use later in Byrd's flight
over the South Pole. According to
Byrd, this was the first time aviation
has discovered new territory. After
this, the plane was put away in a snow
hangar, which the men built around it
to protect it from the storms of the
long winter night.

All this was done while it was still
light, but now the sun disappeared and
the long winter night of four months
set in. During this time everything
was under snow except the radio tow-
ers. The men lived under the snow in
their portable house most of the
winter. During the four months, the
men took turns as nightwatchman to
note the Antarctic temperature for the
United States Weather Bureau. Byrd
said that a very important thing dur-

ing the winter night was to "keep all
the hands working" for the monoton-
ous existence would have unbalanced
their minds. They busied themselves
making sleds, tents, cookers, and put-
ting food in rations, all to be used on
the trail in the spring. They, of course,
had to provide their own amusement;
a picture of a burlesque wrestling
match put on by two of the mer was
amusing.

Before going to the Pole, one of the
airplanes was used for a flight to the
eastward in which areas never before
seen by the human eye were covered.
By means of a mapping camera hun-
dreds of miles of this area were maped
out. The aviators saw many ice-cover-
ed islands, open lakes not frozen over,
and a tremendous mountain range, one
of peaks of which was 4000 feet high.

Now came the culminating triumph
of the expendition, that magnificent
flight to the South Pole toward which
Byrd and crew had worked, and plan-
ned, and dreamed during the long
Antarctic night. The supplies, two
months' food, two tents, a cooker, and
fuel were put into the all-metal plane,
but right at this time they had much
bad weather and heavy storms. At
such a time the weatherman's predic-
tion, Byrd said, was a matter of life
or death. After the storms abated,
Byrd and three other men of his crew
started on their memorable flight with
a load of 1500 pounds. They had with
them their mapping camera which
made a "record for science to study at
leisure." After eight hours of flight,
they sighted the foothills of the polar
mountain. They had difficulties in find-
ing a pass through which they could
get the plane, and to save the ship

they had finally to dump a month's
food supply. After crossing the moun-
tains, they were over a plateau, the
center of which is the South Pole. Byrd
described it as a place "where the sun
hangs low, where there is no time, and
no direction except north." When the
plane was directly over the Pole, Byrd
dropped the American flag with a
stone tied to it which had been taken
from the grave of Floyd Bennett. In
doing this he carried the American
flag 1500 miles further south than it
had ever been before. Byrd and his
three companions returned to the base,
Little America, in safety after eigh-
teen hours of flight.

After the flight over the South
Pole, the Byrd expedition was ready
to return to civilization. The two ships,
the City of New York and the Eleanor
Boling, were to return for the men and
supplies, but the supply ship, the
Boling, could not get through the ice,
so some of the material had to be left
in Little America. Byrd decided to
leave the airplanes and bring the
Eskimo dogs, whose faithful work he
praised throughout his lecture. The
City of New York, having broken her
way through the ice, received the sup-
plies and the seventy men "all hands
answering roll call, by the help of
Providence." This worthy ship brought
back to civilization that brave band of
heroies who had hazarded their lives to
give the world a knowledge of the un-
known Antarctic region, and to bring
the bottom of the world under the folds
of the Stars and Stripes.

Tsk! Tsk! As my old friend, Pene-
lope G. Thorkleson used to say so
things go and heap up on one. If you
are as busy as I am, Sis, old thing,
you'll understand when I say "enough
of such rot" and on to history, and
as the old Gryphon would say "I still
have to leam my Reeling, Writhing,
Uglification and Distraction! Awa! Be-
sides the Mad Hatter is getting mad-
der because he thinks it is time for
this to be off.

So heaps of love and such things
from the Dormouse 'n me,
As ever,

Alice.

come from Chicago only once a month.
Mary Cox says, "He being a street-
car magnate riding wasn't hard."

These girls stayed here four years,
during which time they made many
friends. "Of course, they were obed-
ient," says Mary Cox, "like everybody
here." After leaving, they went to a
fashionable school and then entered
society. Their mother took them to
Europe, where they were presented to
the "royal head," and while there
Theodore met a handsome French
duke, whom she ultimately married.
Marguerite married an eminent jurist
of New York and lives there now,
but her sister lives "among the nobil-
ity of Europe."

If you wish to know the details of
their wardrobe and the furnishings of
their room, just see Mary Cox and we
wager that she will again wax elo-
quent upon the subject.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1931 No. 17

Vol. XVI

Students Attend
Conference On
Int. Relations

Delegates from Southern In-
stitutions Discuss Prob-
lems of Peace.

The eighth annual meeting of the
Southern Students' Conference on In-
ternational Relations was held at Duke
University February 26 28. There werp
sixty-five delegates present represent-
ing twenty-one southern colleges and
universities. Agnes Scott was repre-
sented by Anita Boswell, Marjorie
Daniel, Mary Hiner, and Dr. Philip
Davidson, faculty adviser of the Agnes
Scott International Relations Club.

The social features of the conference
included a reception given by the Duke
Polity Club; a luncheon for delegates,
speakers, and advisers; and a banquet
on the last evening of the confer-
ence. The special feature of the ban-
quet was a message by a representa-
tive of the University of Porto Rica.

The outstanding speakers for the
lectures and round tables were: Ed-
ward S. Corwin, Princeton, who spoke
on "The Foriegn Relations of China";
J. Fred Rippy, Duke, who led a round
table on "Latin America"; Robert S.
Rankin, Duke, who led a round table
on "The International Significance of
the American Tariff"; M. Pierre de
Lanux, Director of the Paris Informa-
tion Office of the League of Nations,
who spoke on "The Outlook for Dis-
armament" and led a round table on
"The League of Nations"; C. B.
Hoover, Duke, who led a round table
on "Russia," and George G. Wilson,
Harvard, who spoke on "Limitations in
the Effectiveness of Treaty Provis-
ions."

The business sessions were in charge
of J. I. Morgan, Jr., Duke, President
of the Conference, and Miss Amy
Hemingway Jones, representative of
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace. At the last business
session on February 28, Walter Reid,
Rollins College, was elected president
for 1931-1932 and the next conference
will be held at Rollins College, Winter
Park, Fla.

The conference revived a spirit of
optimism for the outlook of the con-
ference in its task of promoting inter-
national cooperation and the outlawry
of war. Reports of local clubs reveal-
ed that an active interest is being
taken by students in world affairs and
the problems of peace.

Glee Club To

Sing 'Pinafore'

Spring Concert to Be Held
on April 18.

The Glee Club wishes to announce
that the spring concert will be on
April 18th. Intensive rehearsing has
already started and a very lovely pro-
gram is expected. The second part of
the performance will consist of the
chorusses from "Pinafore." It is hoped
that this operetta may be presented by
the Glee Club next year, if this intro-
duction is successful.

The club is especially glad to wel-
come back some former members,
who have returned to school this
semester Mary Ruth Rountree, Mary
Fleming and Louise Farley.

Juniors Present

Clever Playlet

"Cents and Non-sense" De-
lights Large Audience.

Saturday evening, March 7, the
Junior class presented its annual stunt,
in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium. The
play this year was entitled "Cents and
Non-Sense.'' The story was that of a
struggling artist, who was too proud
to marry the girl he loved because she
was wealthy. However along came de-
pression; the girl became poor, the
artist won an art prize and everyone
"lived happy ever after." Floyd Foster,
as Pennington Brush, the artist, and
Julia Grimmet, "Ping Pong Perry from
Peoria," were outstanding members of
the cast. The choruses, under the di-
rection of Diana Dyer and Marion
Folk were most attractive.

The tap dancers, especially delighted
the audience with their difficult steps
and attractive costumes. The costumes
of the trippers of the light fantastic
added grace and charm to the scene.

The writing committee deserves the
credit for the clever dialogue and plot,
both of which were original.

Miss Frances Lee
Visits the Campus

Fashion Editor of College
Humor Includes A. S.

With our Seniors well along in their
last semester of college, the campus is
becoming distinctly job-conscious.
Well, we've met a charming young per-
son with an idea of a delightful job.
She's the fashion editor of College
Humor, Frances Lee, who's been visit-
ing on the campus for a few days. She
graduated from Vassar where she
was on the staff of the annual and
played on the basketball team last
year, and after spending the summer
in Paris, took up this position in New
York last September. Her visit to
Agnes Scott is on a trip to various
southern colleges Sweetbriar, Duke,
Virginia, Goucher and others to get
a more intimate view of them, their
students and other of their eccen-
tricities.

Miss Hale Speaks in
Y. W. Vespers
On Vocations

Knowledge of Self and Faith
Stressed as Elements in
Choice of Life Work.

At the Y. W. C. A. vesper service on
March 8, Miss Hale, of our French de-
partment, was the speaker. Her sub-
ject was "Vocations." The average
college student, she said, is faced with
a rather wide choice in selecting her
vocation, and should have definite
principles to guide that choice. Knowl-
edge of one's inner self is most im-
portant. This brings us into the realm
of the spiritual and divine. The fact
that we are made in the image of
God, though a challenge and inspir-
ation, makes complete comprehension
of ourselves impossible. But where out
knowledge stops, faith begins, bring-
ing us untold strength. "A conception
of every human being as a recepticle
of a divine soul, a life which Christ
died to save, puts a new value on life
and forces us to a dignified conception
of ourselves, a conception which for-
bids belittling oneself. We cannot
honestly draw back and say, 'But I
can't do that. It's all right for some-
one else to try.' The power within us
increases as it is called upon. It knows
no limits in itself. Only our lack of
faith halts it."

We should choose, then, those voca-
tions which quicken the divine spark
within us, which mean servirp for the
Master. This does not limit our choice,
for our conception of service for the
Master is growing. Now we are try-
ing to establish equality, brotherhood,
the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. She
who strives her utmost in this, though
the results be small, has not been un-
faithful.

It is perhaps fortunate that many
people have little choice, from finan-
cial or other reasons, in their choice
of a vocation. They are thus given a
chance to adjust to life and aims, "to
become tempered steel before the blade
is called actively into play."

The training for vocation began in
infancy, and gradually becomes
stronger each year. We are fortunate
to live in a period when women have a
greater opportunity of service. "But
this increased opportunity, the wealth
of every-increasing luxury, though it
makes our physical lives more com-
fortable, makes our spiritual lives
more difficult. The ease of our physi-
cal lives dulls our perceptions to moral
issues." One's material success is in
proportion to one's service, to spiritual
attainments. Believing this, there is
no profit in discussing the material
side of vocations. "The field that
makes for spiritual development makes
for physical development, for the body
harbors the soul. In just so far it is
important, and we cannot fail to care
for it that it may serve till the soul
needs it no more. May we hear the
words of the Master, 'Daughter, be of
good comfort, thy faith hath made
thee whole. Go in peace.' "

REMEMBER THE PLAY

The student body is reminded
of the three one-act plays which
will be given in chapel on Satur-
day evening. Among them is the
play which will represent Agnes
Scott in the contest at Brenau.
Come and support the actors.

Program on French
Music Enjoyed

Violin, Piano, and Vocal
Selections Featured.

The French Club held its monthly
meeting in Mr. Johnson's studio in
Rebekah Scott Hall Monday, March 2.
After an informal tea, a program on
modern French music was given, which
was one of the most interesting and
successful of the year. Virginia Heard
gave a talk on Claude De Bussy after
which Willa Beckham and Louise Wes-
ley played several piano selections by
De Bussy. Miss Florence Smith and
Elizabeth Sutton rendered a group of
violin selections, accompanied by Vir-
ginia Gray at the piano. Mollie Chil-
dress gave a talk on Maurice Ravel
after which Louise Wesley played his
"Sonatine." Two vocal selections were
given by Cara Hinman, a former stu-
dent of Agnes Scott. A talk was then
given on Chaminade which was follow-
ed by piano selections from him.

'The Auburn Dell'
Selected as May
Day Scenario

Mary Catherine Williamson
Writes Delightful Early
English Pageant.

Definite work has been begun in the
selection of the May Day cast for this
year. The elections for Queen are to
be held this week and the results and
the cast will be published in next
week's issue. The following is a resume
of the scenarios by Mary Catherine
Williamson, entitled "Auburn Dell."

1. It is the May morning. Joy
reigns throughout all the land. Youth
and age alike are reveling in this fes-
tive day when their hearts are glad-
dened by the official return of spring.

They are singing and dancing and
their arms are filled with May boughs
and garlands. The peasant maids and
boys are the first to arise, then the
older folk; then come the milkmaids
over the stile, and the happy chimney
sweeps, whose faces have been black-
ened by the May Eve fires. They all
dance and sing until the woodsmen
beckon them to go to the woods to cut
down a tree worthy of being a May
Pole.

2. The frolic on the green. The May
Queen comes in accompanied by many
villagers. She mounts her throne
proudly and the folk sing honors to
her. Ah, here comes Robin Hood with
his merry men, and Maid Marian, who,
with her fair maids does a dance that
betrays her noble lineage, the Gavottp.

3. The contest on the green. The
spirit of rivalry and competiton always
makes anything more interesting, so
the queen motions for the festivities to
begin. First, the jesters demonstrate
their loose joints with an acrobatic
dance. The hobby horse interferes
with them considerably, much to
their disgust and the spectators'
amusement. Now Robin Hood dis-
plays his ability with a dance. But
we must have more of this hero, so
Will Scarlett sings a ballad of Robin's
deeds and glory. Now comes the arch-
ery tournament. "Come all ye men,
and show your skill in England's
grandest sport." Next are two charac-
teristic English dances the sword
dance, and the morris dance. Who
shall be the master of this happy
day? Robin Hood, of course. So he
wins the prize.

4. The climax of the whole day-
comes when the May Pole is raised
and the company dance around it.

5. The Recessional. The Queen
leads the group of people, who are
tired out, but happy with the joy of
this most pleasant of days.

Miss Wilburn Gives

tistic Interpretation.

EDITORIAL

The Athletic Association has striven during the past two sea-
sons to make its alive, progressive, democratic, co-operative slogan
felt throughout the campus. It has provided an excellent orchestra
which sponsors social life on the campus. Health week was a
feature which commanded the interest of every member of the stu-
dent body. Hockey and basketball, swimming and water polo, ten-
nis and volleyball have been offered for the fun and physical de-
velopment which they afford.

Another season has arrived, and new opportunities are offered
in which each person may choose the field of her interest. The girl
with the brawny arms may become a feminine Babe Ruth at base-
ball; the fleet of foot finds her place in track; the bow and arrow
calls for a steady arm and an accurate aim ; and swimming brings
into play the utmost in co-ordination. Tennis, of course, is offered
to those with perseverance. Camp lures lovers of solitude and
nature during the coming spring week-ends. Horseback riding and
golf each has its crowd of devotees.

These opportunities for play, for exercise in the fresh air,
for striving for perfection in one or more sports are offered to each
and every person. We are the losers if we prefer to study or to
stay in stuffy theaters to the enjoyment of wholesome fun in the
great out-of-doors.

THE STUDENT BUDGET

Again the blacklist for the student budget has been posted,
and the length of it is most discouraging to those who are in charge
of the finances of the student organizations. We fully realize that
many of the members of the student body have been affected by
the economic depression. The budgets of the student organiza-
tions, however, have been drawn up and must be subscribed. No one
would want to dispense with the Silhouette; no one would willingly
see the Athletic Association hampered in its efforts ; surely no one
would force Student Government to cut down on the number of
phones. The benefits are for us; it is up to us to pay our budget.
Marjorie Daniel will be more than glad to accept any payments in
Xo. 22 Inman.

AN APPRECIATION

The staff of the Agonistic wishes to express its appreciation
of the work done by each and every person who co-operated in
making the publication of the class issues a success. We feel that
our aims were fully realized, for the members of each class took a
vital interest in their paper, and the results in all cases were most
Interesting and original. The judges are expected to render their
decision so that the silver cup may be awarded at the chapel exer-
eises on March 14.

Sports Then and Now

0 yes, today "we are crazy 'bout
the gym, the hockey, and the swim,"
but my glorified tomboy, did you ever
stop to think that the only exercise
the girls of 1800 had was dusting
horsehair furniture and ancestral por
traits? We owe a great deal to Guy-
ard, a French physician, who invented
the game of croquet through which
American women made their bow to
athletic society English visitors to
French watering places found it a di
verting amusement and introduced it
into England as a fashionble game for
country houses and garden parties.
Then it came to the U. S., heralded as
the approved pastime of Victorian so
ciety. With credentials of such merit
croquet swept the country like an epi-
demic. Such a game! Political issues
paled into insignificance. Newspapers
discontinued heated controversies over
reconstruction to furnish readers a
lengthy description of this "most in-
fectious" amusement. In all the towns
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
croquet the ladies next progressed to
the open air. As a courting game cro-
quet has had few superiors. Young
women readily abandoned their cro-
cheting to share the new game with
the young men of their set. It af-
forded, within the limits of the prim
proprieties of the period, just enough
opportunity for innocent flirtation to
add zest to the pastime. Between plays
there was time for whispered asides
and acquaintance ripened quickly as
partners strove to attain the common
goal. On many a shady lawn cro-
quet offered to bright-eyed girls and
demure young women a mild transition
between the restrictions that had hem-
med in their mothers and the greater
freedom their daughters were destined
to enjoy. Godey's Lady's Book of
April, 1866, shows interesting pictures
of these sportive females. Attired in
voluminous skirts, extremely tight
waists, countless petticoats, and tiny,
but ornamented hats, perched noncha-
lantly on the top of their heads, these
damsels were ready for the contest.

Having exhibited their prowess in
croquet the ladies' next progressed to
a new era the heydey of the bicycle.
There a great moral problem confront-
ed them: how could anybody ride a
bicycle when her legs were objects to
be known only to herself and her
mother. Women's athletic ventures
seemed to be doomed. A timely rescue
came, however, with the "dropped bar"
bicycle so that a bishop's wife could
pedal sedately down the main street
and preserve her name untarnished by
the village gossip. The stylish miss
clothed in ample trouserettes, tight-
fitting bodice, high collar and sailor
hat did "look sweet upon the seat of
a bicycle built for two."

Croquet began the process, later ac-
celerated by tennis, archery, and bicy-
cling, of bringing women out of stuffy
living rooms to participate in out of
door exercise with men. How fortun-
ate we are that the old indifferent
tennis with the underhand serves and
baseline line plays has developed into
the energetic game of Helen Wills,
whose marvelous speed, tremendous
hitting strength, and almost perfect
technique has won for her the great-
est successes in tennis circles. Today
women golfers like Glenna Collett rank
only a few places behind the best male
professionals. Hooray for sunback
bathing suits and anklets, three cheers
for attractive gym suits, girls teams
trained by efficient coaches, and
woman's place in the athletic world,
for it is through sport that the women
and girls have learned the things we
learned long ago in business: the ad-
vantages of co-operation, of fair play,
and self-reliance.

"In the spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love," but
where does a young maiden's fancy
rove? All wise young ladies at this
time are thinking of camp and the
opportunities it offers for recreation.
Be athletic, climb Stone Mountain; be
lazy, sleep; be nonchalant, eat pork and
beans. Maybe your mind needs the in-
spriation that comes outside of library
walls. Spend a week-end at camp.

Exchanges

Strange to say, colleges all over the
United States have been thinking of
grades and exminations, so that all in
line with our "cake-race" during exam
week are some of the lines in this clip-
ping from "The Campus Quill":
How to Fail

Complain.
Exaggerate.
Be sarcastic.
Be a glutton.
Be conceited.
Scorn advice.
Procrastinate.
Be indifferent.
Praise no one.
Be a pessimist.
Repeat rumors.
Ridicule others.
Break promises.
Refuse to learn.
Travel the ruts.
Keep late hours.
Neglect your health.
Evade responsibility.
Be a chronic grouch.
Work without a plan.
Do as little as possible.
Always have an excuse.
Be a chronic borrower.

The Campus Quill.

And then we find these on the origin
and outcome of semi-annual tests.

It seems that other colleges are in-
terested in those same questions that
are now troubling Exec and College
Council: hazing, dormitory regula-
tions, social life, and such like. Here
are two clippings about freshman-
sophomore activities:

Write that letter to "Him" or plan
your spring wardrobe. Have you had
a good long bull session lately? No?
Then get your friends and go to camp.
No interruptions, no bells, no house
committee. Choose your favorite week-
end and sign up before your neighbor
does. It pays to rejuvenate before
launching on a term paper. Our Stone
Mountain establishment is available
for almost any week-end before spring
holidays. Decide on your date today.

At the University of Hawaii, the
frosh are subjected to unusual rules.
The men, for instance, are required to
carry at least two popular brands of

Ohio Wesleyan University
Delaware police were called upon re-
cently to disperse a class fight between
400 Freshmen and Sophomore women
on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan Uni-
versity. The Freshmen had refused
to appear in the Freshmen berets and
the Sophomores wished to enforce the
initiation rules. Hair pulling, scratch-
ing, biting and kicking were entered
into by all. One was seriously hurt
b?fore the police could quiet the com-
batants.

And here is one that almost makes
us rise up in arms for later time-limit:
Believe it or Not
Students of Montana State College
went on strike for five days because
of the regulation that girls had to be
in their dormitories by 11 o'clock in-
stead of 2:30.

Students of Colorado University are
insured against being called upon to
recite. This certainly puts a premium
on either modesty or lazyness. N. S.

The 20th Day Before April 1st.
Giddy, my dear:

It's Second Semester with a venge-
ance! The Higher-Ups have decided
all of a sudden to question that which
is surely above question, and the fu-
ture is rosy with tests and term papers.
It's beginning to tell, Giddy; Jean
Grey and Penny Brown can't even get
a good night's rest. The other night
Dell heard a gentle flapping, and dis-
covered Jean trying to take off and
muttering "I'm a Byrd! I'm a Byrd!"
The next morning the sad story came
out; Jean dreamed that Bob had also
planned an expedition to the South
Pole; that Byrd beat him there by
one week; but that he was getting due
recognition as an also-flew, and the
Lecture Association had asked him to
speak here. Now here is the tragedy;
he wanted Jean please not to let any-
one know that she knew him after
three years of Sunday Specials! Just
imagine what a false position it put
her in, a sort of Public Humiliation.
And Penny dreamed not long after-
wards that she had pass minused a
Chaucer Test I think it's symbolical!

Along with nightmares and general
depression comes Kitty Purdie's Prob-
lem there just aren't any Chapel Re-
ports to figure up! If all the regular
chapel attendants were placed end to

I A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A *J

end, they wouldn't fill the first row!
Susan Glenn (pardon the local color)
says that what chapel needs is variety,
and she suggests singing the Reces-
sional first. Betty Peeples is all for
the Amherst plan (See Senior Aggie,
p. 6, column 4).

Speaking of gambling (we were
too), J. P. Reed has just made Carl
Smith. You see, the Beta Kappas
(Tech's Gift to Homesick Hottentots)
who were coming out to the Junior
Banquet as Blind Dates each put a dol-
lar in the pot, and the man who drew
the best looking date got the pot. It
went unanimously to Carl J. P. just
looked beautiful so mysterious, sort
of but I heard George Dyer just lost
fifty cents on the deal; they gave him
fifty cents' consolation!

There always are bright spots,
though; and this time White House
scores again Shirley and Mart Tower
and Jennie Sweeny are all in the Blue
Print Beauty Section! Local Girls
Made Good without an effort!

Philosophically yours,

Aggie.

THE AGONISTIC

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES

Final Basketball i Faculty Triumphs | Water Polo Teams

Games Excite All In Baseball Game

Spirit ran high in the gym last
Wednesday night when the Juniors
met the Seniors for the last time, in
the most exciting game of the season.
Quite a large crowd of spectators was
gathered to see the game and add to
its excitement by cheering from the
sidelines. The two teams were in won-
derful condition and both were de-
termined to win, the one to uphold its
championship title and the other to
make a triumphant exit from its last
basketball game.

The game started off with a bang,
and the Juniors made two goals be-
fore the Seniors quite realized what
it was all about. Quick passing through
center and over to Hudson and Mor-
row resulted in a goal for the Seniors,
and from that moment till the end of
the game, there was a keen fight.
The scoring was so close that the first
half ended with the Juniorr 23 and the
Seniors 21.

The second half was twice as ex-
citing as the first. In spite i f some
fumbling the ball snapped from one
end of the court to the other so quick-
ly thpt it was hard for the :.-ye to
follow. Bowman and Duncan were so
equally matched that it was always a
^ueslion as to which wmld get the
tip-off. The last quarter was a whirl-
wind of excitement. Everyone in the
audience was on her feet shouting and
cheering, as the ball went from the
hands of the Gold to those of the Blue
or vice versa. The score was 36-36
with just 40 seconds to play, when
Duncan snapped ^he ball t'j Morrow;
she shot the goal just before the
whistle blew and made the score 38-36
in favor of the Seniors. Truly this
v as a fitting c?imax to a successful
basketball season, and a royal exit for
I e Black and Gold of '31.

Line-up:

Last Wednesday night in the last
basketball game of the season, the
Sophomores met the Freshmen in a
fast, interesting game. Both teams
went on the floor determined to win,
and some of the best playing of the
year was exhibited.

In the beginning the Freshmen took
the lead, and kept it throughout the
game. The Sophomores, as well as
the Freshmen, did excellent pass work
and goal shooting; but at no time did
the Freshmen allow the Sophomores'
score to equal theirs. At the final
whistle the score was 37-24 in favor of
the Freshmen.

The Faculty defeated the Varsity by
a score of 10 to 3 in the first base-
ball game of the season. The grand-
stand got many a thrill and many a
laugh as the "all-stars" performed on
the diamond. The Faculty team
showed their skill in batting and
knocking home runs, much to the sor-
row of the fielders, who were kept
chasing balls up and down the field
every time the faculty got in bat. Mr.
Johnson realized the sad state of the
Varsity and stepped out in front of
a would-be home run, successfully
stoping it. This greatly relieved the
situation for the students, who gave a
rousing cheer for the umpire!

Dr. Hayes stepped up, however,
and knocked a home run!

Miss Sinclair and Dr. McCain were
on the job to catch all the flies the
Varsity managed to make. With Dr.
Hayes' hurling a wicked curve and Dr.
Davidson's signals from the catcher's
box, the Varsity found it a hard job
to even get a hit! But Dr. Wright
and Mr. Cunningham helped out the
students just at the crucial moment
when it seemed that the score would
go on up into the teens for the Facul-
ty. Mr. Cunningham debated whether
to help out the students and run to
first and be put out, or try to pile up
the faculty's score and go on to sec-
ond. Finally his sympathy for the
students won over; while Dr. Wright
quite gallantly struck out. The Var-
sity did some good playing, however.
Mildred McCalip was back in the
pitcher's box in her usual good form
and fanned out the Faculty right and
left!

Ruth McAuliffe and Sarah Bowman
did good work on bases. During the
five innings the interest of those in
the grandstand never waned, and
cheers and yells greeted almost every
play. The line-up was as follows:

FACULTY VARSITY
Hayes, p. McCalip, p.

Tennis Offered

If you want to wear off stiffness in
your joints from track, baseball, rid-
ing, etc., just come out and play tennis.
This season there will be a Doubles
Tennis Tournament as an aid for other
sports, so no matter which other one
you are signed up for, tennis will de-
velop your skill. The tournament play
will start the week of March 16 and
as this is your last chance of the year
to become famous overnight in the ten-
nis realm don't neglect to sign up on
the bulletin board in Main.

Just another example of inductive
reasoning:

The more you study, the more you
Irani,

The more you learn, the more you
forget.

The more you forget the less you
know.

Sophs Defeat Frosh

The water polo game between
Sophomores and Freshmen, which was
scheduled for Monday, March 2, was
played instead on the following Thurs-
day night, by courtesy of the Sopho-
more team, who declined the forfeiture
in favor of a postponement. The initial
race for the ball went in nearly every
case to the Freshman center forward,
but the guarding and interception of
the Sophomores prevented their mak-
ing this advantage good. An unusual
amount of substitution and swapping
of positions in the Freshman team
handicapped their playing. The Sopho-
mores defeated the Freshmen with a
score of 7-4.

The last of the season's water polo
games ended in a victory for the
Juniors over the Seniors with the score
6-3.

Fincher and Hill battled for the ball
from the first, just one winning by a
stroke and then the other. Once the
ball was in the possession of the
Juniors, they dribbled it neatly down
toward the goal and whammed it in.
The Seniors did some excellent passing
but did not seem able to follow through
with goals.

Fincher for the Juniors made four
of their six goals, showing a sure aim
as well as a quick stroke.

Seniors Win

Agonistic Cup

Class of 1931 Claims Honor
for Four Years.

In the chapel exercises on March 14,
Julia Thompson, editor of the Agon-
istic, presented the silver cup to Kath-
erine Morrow, editor of the Senior is-
sue. For the fourth time the class of
1931 has been accorded such an honor.

The city editors of the three Atlanta
papers were asked to serve as judges
in the class contest and to make their
decisions on the basis of journalistic
quality, originality, accuracy, and ap-
pearance and make-up. They expressed
a real interest in all of the papers and
said that theirs was a difficult position
to judge between four excellent publi-
cations. All of them felt that the
Agonistic would stand high among the
college newspapers of the South.

Mr. J. S. Pope of the Journal made
some interesting comments on the
papers. The Seniors were commended
for their front page make-up, choice of
material, and comprehensive scope;
the Juniors, for their art work and
features; the Sophomores, for their
Byrd silhouette; and the Freshmen
for their "appealing affectation of
naivette" and reviews of Byrd's lec-
ture and "Little Women."

Again the class contest appears to
have been most successful for it pro-
duced a high grade of journalism, re-
vealed undiscovered talent, and
brought many students into contact
with the process of publishing the
Agonistic.

Y. W. Sponsors

World Dinner

Foreign Countries Repre-
sented at Tables.

Tuesday, March 10, another world
fellowship dinner was held at Agnes
Scott. Such dinners are bi-annual af-
fairs and are sponsored by the World
Student Christian Federation which is
affiliated with the World Y. W. C. A.

The menu was not the usual type
found on our campus. It consisted of
vegetable soup, baked potatoes, and
brown bread with tea. The desert was
cherry pie. This simple, inexpensive
meal was substituted for the usual
chicken dinner; the difference saved
is to be used to help pay our pledge,
which is $100 a year, to the World
Student Christian Federation. This
money pays for scholarship for worthy
students in Europe.

Flags of the different nations were
hung on the walls of the two dining
rooms and the tables were prettily dec-
orated in the colors of the various coun-
tries there represented. These included
France, Germany and Spain. The girls
who sat at these tables spoke the lan-
guage of that nation which their table
represented. It was a very amusing
if at times trying experiment.

A hostess presided at each table. In
White House Marguerite Gerard and
Ann McCallie presided at the French
tables, while Use Cusow served at the
German table. Martha North Watson
served at the table representing Spain.
In Rebekah Miss Harn sat at the head
of the German table, while Miss Alex-
ander and Miss Phythian served the
two French tables. At the Spanish
table Miss Cilly presided.

Ben Greet Players
To Appear In
Great Dramas

'Hamlet" and "Twelfth
Night" Are on Program to
Be Presented Here.

Sir Philip Ben Greet and his
Shakespearean players, under the
auspices of a company of Atlanta's
schools and colleges headed by Georgia
Tech, will appear in Atlanta on atur-
day, March 21, in the City Auditorium,
at which time they will present two
Shakespearean dramas, "Twelfth
Night" and "Hamlet." The Ben Greet
company is composed of eig-hteen emi-
nent English stars and Sir Philip Ben
Greet himself, who was knighted re-
cently by the King of England for
services "to the English drama and
the English language." Sir Philip has
been acclaimed the greatest Shake-
spearean actor in the world if not the
greatest of all times. His casts are
composed only of stars, all selected
and trained by Sir Philip himself, and
"they include some of England's most
renowned tragic actors and actresess."
The above statement is endorsed by
leading English and American au-
thorities, two of whom are Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia, and Dr. William Lyon
Phelps, of Yale University.

"Twelfth Night," Shakespeare's rol-
licking comedy, will be given at 2:30
Saturday afternoon. It will be played
according to the 1601 edition. Im-

entation, will be played according to
the first quarto of the 1603 edition,
which came to the press during Shake-
speare's lifetime and which he himself
used. There are but two original
copies of this edition, one of which is
in the British Museum, and the other
in the Huntington Collection in Cali-
fornia. Both plays will follow the
original text as closely as possible and
will be given on an Elizabethan stage
with the simplicity of setting of the
original Shakespearean drama. Stress
and emphasis will be laid upon the
acting, diction, and use of the English
language.

The role of Hamlet will be played by
Russell Thorndyke, brother of Sybil
Thorndyke of literary fame. Aston
Stevens, former dramatic critic for the
New York Evening Journal and him-
self a playwright of note, stated that
in his opinion Mr. Thorndyke is the
greatest Hamlet ever seen. Sir Philip
Ben Greet will take the roles of
Polonius, called Porambus in the first
edition, and of one of the grave dig-
gers in "Hamlet," and of Malovio in
"Twelfth Night." Sir Philip is seven-
ty-four years old and no less active
than the last time he visted Atlanta.

Sir Philip played in Atlanta on his
last tour of the United States in 1912-
14, and on another tour several years
earlier he played on Agnes Scott's
campus, on the terrace beside Gaines
cottage. The present tour started from
Columbia University in the fall of 1929
and included trips to colleges and uni-
versities in the East and Middle West
that fall and winter. The company
then vacationed and rested in England.
They returned to continue their tour in
the Southwest, in the East again
where they had return invitations, in
the Middle West, and in the Southeast.
The tour will be completed about
May 1st.

This tour was planned in celebration
of the golden anniversary of Sir
Philip's first production of Shake-
speare and is the last American tour
which he plans to make. Students are
urged to take advantage of this un-
rivaled opportunity to hear the artist.
Tickets may be obtained from Dr.
Hayes.

MILDRED DUNCAN ELECTED

MAY QUEEN FOR 1931

Vachel Lindsey to
Lecture March 23

Poet-Evangelist to Read and
Sing Poetry.

On March 23 at 8:30, Vachel Lind-
sey, well known American poet, will be
presented by the Lecture Association
of Emory University, in a lecture re-
cital of his own poetry. Due to a re-
cent fire at Emory, the lecture will be
in the auditorium of the Woman's Club
of Atlanta.

Mr. Lindsey is a unique and roman-
tic figure in the literary world of to-
day. Artist and poet, he is above all a
worshipper of beauty, and he has spent
years in tramping over the country,
the "poet evangelist," chanting his
gospel of beauty and organizing vil-
lage improvement campaigns. He has
been described as a "chanting, roaring,
soft-breathing, syncopated cyclone,"
and those who know his poetry, and
have heard him sing his verses, know
how aptly this applies.

Several prose works on his vagabond
career have proved popular, but Lind-
sey became famous from such well
known volumes of verse as "General
w linani Duum renters lnuo rceaven,
"The Congo," and "The Chinese Night-
ingale. The coming 1 of this poet prom-
ises to be one of the outstanding
events on the Emory lecture program
for this season.

Cotillion Club

Holds Try-Outs

Clever Skits Given at Initia-
tions.

The annual spring try-outs of Cotil-
lion Club were held Thursday, March
12, in the club room. There was an
unusually large number of girls try-
ing out. The following were admitted
as members: Amelia O'Neil, Mary
Hamilton, Stuart Weatherspoon, Dor-
othy Wyatt, Lewellyn Parks, Madge
York, Louise Crawford, Lovelyn Wil-
son, Amelia Wolf.

The skits as presented by the in-
itiates were most amusing and enter-
taining for all of those present.

The initiations were held in the club
room Monday night, March 16. The
new members showed interesting per-
sonalities in their presentations.
Amelia O'Neil was the spirit of spring
in which she expressed her soul. A
one-act play was given in which Mary
Hamilton was the monkey, Stuart
Weatherspoon the organ grinder and
Dot Wyatt the organ. Lewellyn Parks
recited "Face on the Ballroom Floor."
Madge York impersonated Claudette
Colbert singing "You Brought a New
Kind of Love to Me." Louise Craw-
ford g"ave a vaudeville act which in-
cluded dances, jokes, etc., Lovelyn Wil-
son and Amelia Wolf presented a
take-off on the Junior banquet.

The new members were outstanding
in their grace, posture, and ability to
to follow.

Large Cast for Old English
Pagans Is Announced.

Miss Mildred Duncan will be the

MR. DENNIS LINDSEY

It is with very heart-felt regret that the students of Agnes
Scott view the passing of one of the most loyal friends that the
college has ever known. Mr. Dennis Lindsey has not only con-
tributed most generously in a financial way to Agnes Scott, but he
has ever been one of her firmest supporters. The relations which
the students have had with him in a business way have always
been most pleasant, and he has surely served the student body in
untold ways. We wish, therefore, to express our sympathies and
appreciation of him to his family.

EDITORIAL

'The old order changeth," and the student officers for 1930-31
have practically reached the time at which they will hand their
torches to new hands. Student elections are on the horizon.

Agnes Scott prides itself on its democratic spirit and ruling.
There is little or no "politicking" during the election period, and
students vote honestly far thp candidate whom they deem best. In
a true democracy, however, the officials are elected by a majority
of fall of those who are entitled to a vote. It seems strange and
also unfortunate that people take so little interest in the election
of the students who will head their organizations for the coming
year. Now is the time to vote for your candidate. It will be too
late to criticize and rebel after the elections are over.

We want as officers during the coming year those who not
only are most capable of leading the student organizations to ex-
pand and accomplish thejr respective purposes, but also have the
hearty cooperation of the entire student body. Such a condition
will not be attained without a full attendance of the students at the
elect ions on Tuesday.

We are eager for the continued success and growth of Agnes
Scott. Since the student body is the largest and most vital part
of the institution, it is the duty and pleasure of each one of us to
see that it has the most effective leadership for the coming year.

Library Rules

It is excusable in a student to say
that she doesn't know the date of
Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, for that
happened a long time ago, and we are
little concerned with it, now. But the
following rules were passed by the
students in this very college on March
5, 1930 certainly not a date so very
far back in the dark ages! And yet
very few students observe these rules
in their entirety, which fact tends to
imply that they are not carefully ac-
quainted with them. And THAT is
inexcusable, since these regulations
are posted in several conspicuous
places in the library.

I. All students shall be responsible
for library rules. Ignorance is no ex-
cuse.

II. Breaking of library rules shall
incur a penalty of exclusion from the
library, the length of time to be de-
termined by the librarian. A list of
those excluded shall be posted.

III. Books shall not be taken from
the library by any day student for
overnight before five o'clock.

IV. When there are only a few
copies of reserve books to be used by
a large class, day students shall not
take the books out for overnight be-
fore nine o'clock.

V. The green cards of books on re-
serve in special rooms shall be left at
the main desk when the books are
taken out overnight or over the week-
end.

VI. Books taken out of their regu-
lar places must be returned and not
left on the tables.

VII. Reserve books must be used in
the library except overnight and week-
ends.

This column is to be continued next
week. Please note carefully the com-
ments that will be made on these regu-
lations. This is something of vital im-
portance to the welfare of our college
librarry. This is not ancient history!

Students who have not made their

soon as possible. The regular collec-

receive payments in her room when-
ever any student finds it convenient
to pay. The black list is unusually long
this semester and our campus organ-

Mr. Stukes Speaks

Sunday night, March 15, Professor
S. G. Stukes spoke on the subject,
"Our Obligations to the Social Order."
He began by saying that his subject
was in line with others of recent meet-
ings, carrying out the purpose of the
organization.

"The social order," he said, "is made
up of Institutions, Involuntary Groups,
and Voluntary Groups. The first in-
cludes the family and government. The
second consists of groups into which
one falls by virtue of birth, such as
the home, play companions and re-
ligious organizations. The voluntary
are such that we enter of our own
choice. This social order is bound to-
gether by three things: Law, tradition
and the beliefs of the members of
these groups.

This subject has an especial meaning
for us, for we receive it in two ca-
pacities, that is, as college trained peo-
ple and as Christians.

"Our first obligation toward the so-
cial order is the right attitude toward
existing institutions. We must re-
member that they are the results of the
best thinking of the past and realize
that it is natural that institutions
should lag behind present day think-
ing. Our duty is to give of our best
service to them, by taking an active
part and making our criticism always
constructive.

"It is the especial obligation of the
educated group to have the right at-
titude toward the law, for it is only
with this that it can function effective-
ly.

"Then we must have a sympathetic
attitude toward tradition. Discard
superstition but realize that real tra-
dition has an important place and is
very sacred to some people. Our at-
titude toward it should be one of con-
structive thought.

"T*- ouv Hnty to bp the hest type
of citizen possible, to carry the spirit
of Christ into the social order, into
our relationships with all people, even
though they be of different classes or
races from ourselves.

"And above all it is our responsibil-
ity, as Christians, to make the social
order a Christian one. A great obliga-
tion on our college men and women is
to use the spirit of Christ as a great
source of power in our clubs and so-
cial groups. Do not consider these re-
lationships impersonally but as indi-
vidual to individual, with the touch of
personal contact. And so may God
help us to so live that we can take
something of his touch into the lives
of those with whom we come in con-
tact.

"In Christ's commission to the
apostles just before his Ascension,
given in the first chapter of Acts, he
says first "Ye shall be witnesses unto
me in Jerusalem" before he told them
to go to the uttermost parts of the
world. That is we, as dsciples of Jesus,
must first witness at home. The king-
dom must come within us and then we
will be ready to take it to others."

Day Student News

As the end of the year draws near
the most interesting question to Sen-
iors is "What shall I do?" The Day
Student Seniors are planning to be
very industrious in the next few years.
Most of them expect to teach a few
years and then study for for some
definite work. Some of these plans
are quite interesting. Lora Lee De-
Loach, for instance, plans to go either
to Columbia and take a course in
library science or to the Chicago Art
Institute and study art, while Mar-
garet Askew wants to go in training
for a nurse. Since Margaret Marshall
plans to take up teaching for a profes-
sion, she will go in a few years to
the University of Chicago to continue
her study. Julia Wilson will study at
Columbia for her M. A. next year.
Eunice Laurence is first going into the
business world and later she is going
to Paris to study French and music.
Cornelia Wallace plans to go as a
social evangelistic worker to China in
six years, continuing her study, in the
meantime, at Tulane and Yale. Dor-
othy Kethley will start next year in
her study to be a doctor. Louise Ware
is the exception which proves the rule;
instead of working next year she is
going to Europe.

Dear old pal, chum, comrade, etc.,

Day by day, in every way, Spring
Holidays are coming nearer and near-
er! Why, we're already singing "Two
moe weeks till vacation!" Soon we'll
have those umpteen term papers off
our chests, and can trot home; well, if
not that, the roommate always has one
handy. Hasten, day of portent, ere I
perish of Spring fever to say nothing
of hay fever! Meanwhile, we'll settle
down and watch the spring flowers
and suits blossom out at the rate of
ten per second. Sniff! The Dec Bank
and Trust big slob that it is taunt-
ingly rears its grim gray head in one
long "Ba-ah!" every time I so much
as consider a spring rag. Oh, well, if
all things don't come to those who
wait, at least 37|/ 2 per cent does but
I ask you how would I look in SIV2
per cent of a dress?

Well, I guess we're sufficiently as-
sured that the Seniors just can't be
overcome when it comes to penning a
wicked Aggie. It was enough to make
the New York Times turn read with
shame! It's just as well they're get-
ting out of the way, so the rest of us
can have a chance. The idea of their
hogging the cup like that for four
years straight!

The Freshmen are up to their old
tricks again, Giddy. The other day
Ruth Barnett went to the infirmary
for the first time, with flu. In re-
sponse to Miss Daughtery's command
to "go back and get in bed," Ruth
went without a murmur. Imagine Miss
Daughtery's surprise, nay, chagrin, on
going back to her room for a nap, at
finding Ruth lying quietly, if flueyly
in her bed! Curtain on the painful
scene which followed!

That's all right, the Sophs still have
their weaker moments. It was indeed
amazing after lights the other night,
to find Maude Armstrong leaping
around in a frenzy ouitside her door,
and yelping excitedly in her after-ten-
thirty voice for apparently no good
reason. Maude, it appears, had settled
herself contentedly for a delightful all-
night snooze, when her sawing was in-
terrupted by a loud rustling, which
usually denotes the presence of a
mouse in the waste-basket. Investiga-
tion showed said waste-basket to be
vacant of vermin, so she returned to
her slumbers. Again the noise. She
repeated the search. No soap; I mean
no mouse. Three times she went
through the performance, after which,
convinced that the room was haunted,
Miss Armstrong hurled herself out
into the hall with shrieks of anything
but delight. Having calmed her ruf-
fled nerves by a series of vocal out-
bursts, she went back to bed only to
discover that the noise was neither
rats, burglars, nor spooks, but her own

eye-lashes brushing against the pil-
low! We were all delighted to find
that she had some! (The most unkind
cut of all!) And then, Bernice Beatty
had to go and cop the prize! The other
day, Miss Westall was carrying some
coffee from the tea room to Miss Pres-
ton. "Make it hot!" she requested,
"You know, Miss Preston is lined with
asbestos!'* "Oh," quoth Bernice sym-
pathetically, "I'm so sorry."

Giddy, I'd advise you never to miss
a baseball game after this you might
lose out on another charming family
scene such as was enacted by the
Robinsons, pater et fille, last Friday.
While Dr. Robinson was umpiring at
a great rate, a dashing whirlwind in
the form of Ann(alyt) surged up to
him, and flinging her arms around his
waist, and her egs around his knees,
proceeded to break up the game. She'll
miss her calling if she doesn't go in
the circus as the human leech. It re-
qured fully five minutes of persuasion
and force to extract her! Papa love
baby?

Well, guess I'd better trot along

Always,

"And it's always fine weather when
good fellows get together."

And maybe that's how they get that
way! You can't deny that this glor-
ious spring atmosphere of morning
glories and daisies simply makes folks
go out and do things: Gay spring en-
sembles strutting out for the week-
end; nonchalant dates strolling about
the blossoming campus, Seniors and
their few favored friends stepping into
ritzy little cars and giving all the poor
underclassmen the high hat. Oh well,
we can't all be social whirlwinds but a
lot of us can kick our share of dust.
Just look how we do it!

Don't you dare miss the thrill that
comes from knowing just how to swing
that club to make the little ball shoot
away over yonder just where you want
it. Golf is good for your body, mind,
and spirit. Somehow you feel all made
over again when you come in from a
refreshing afternoon on the links. It
never leaves you with that flat feeling
that makes you want to cry but al-
ways you are just full of the joy of
living. Besides all the best people play
golf when do you start? Come on
down to the gym and talk it over with
the instructors and don't you let any-
one talk you out of taking golf.

Seniors to Present
Mardi Gras Carnival
On Saturday Uight

Mother Goose Motif Pre-
vails in Floats Decorated
By Clubs.

Rejoice, ye pure in heart Rejoice,
also, ye who are not so pure! Mr.
White has banished all the dogs, so
they cannot bark but the carnival's
coming to town. There'll be some in
rags, some in tags, some in velvet
gowns: Pirates wearing the boots the
class of '31 used in their Freshman
stunt, Senoritas in lace mantillas, sail-
ors, Turks, Apaches, Bo-Peeps and
Pierrots, and of course a sprinkling of
Mandarins from the missionary boxes.
With rings on their fingers and bells
on their toes, the A. P. D. C. orchestra,
reinforced by King Cole's three fid-
dlers, will make music for the dance.
Mother Goose has lent her pony to a
lady to ride a mile away, and has
therefore pressed her children into
service to draw the floats, the best one
of which will be awarded a prize of
five dollars by the King of Mardi Gras.
The monarch will be chosen from the
class candidates, who are: Ruth Mc-
Auliffe, Floyd Foster, Jule Bethea,
Rossie Ritchie. The votes which are
a penny each can be cast until Thurs-
day night.

The Queen of Hearts has managed
to save many of her famius tarts from
that light fingered knave, and her
minions will serve the festival. There
will be curds and whey a la mode and
a plum for eevry Jack Horner. If
Simple Simon remembers to bring his
penny, he will find pies galore.

Blackf riars To

Enter Contest

To Compete With Other
Georgia Colleges and Univ.

In the state dramatic contest, to be
held at Brenau College in Gainesville,
Ga., March 27, Biackfriars will enter
the one-act play, "Men Folk."

Plays will be presented by nine
Georgia colleges and universities on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights.

The contest is being held under the
auspices of the Southern Association
of Teachers of Speech, of which or-
ganization Miss Gooch is third vice-
president and chairman of all the
Southern States' contests.

The play has only three feminine
characters: the grandmother, the
daughter and the granddaughter. The
story depicts the struggle of sea-far-
ing people for existence, and deals
with one dramatic incident in the lives
of these three women who are waiting
and hoping for the one remaining man
in the family to return home. Julia
Thompson will play the part of the
grandmother; Mary Lillias Garretson
will take the mother's part; and the
granddaughter will be portrayed by
Elizabeth Simpson.

The members of the cast have been
working on the play for the last two
months and have presented it in pub-
lic on a number of occasions. The
members of the student body at Girls'
High School were most enthusiastic in
their praise of "Men Folk."

Biackfriars has long held a high
place in amateur dramatics, having
won a place several years ago in the
New York contest. Much is expected of
the presentation of "Men Folk."

Ethel Barrymore
Delights Audience

Great Actress Exhibits Pow-
ers in Modern Play.

Some one has said that anticipa-
tion of a thing makes its fulfillment
twice as enjoyable. This statement may
seem almost too conservative to the
admiring audiences who filled the Er-
langer last week to see the indescrib-
able Ethel Barrymonre in "The Love
Duel", for their appreciation betok-
ened a high measure of enjoyment. It
has been many years since Miss Barry-
more has been in Atlanta in public
performance and she found many old,
as well as many new friends awaiting
her.

The play, "The Love Duel", is itself
the extremely subtle work of Lili Hat-
vany. For perhaps the first time, we
have the successful combination of the
ever fascinating man and woman of the
world. Surfeited with trivialities, and
vaguely resentful of their common tac-
ties, Carlos and Lydia are possessed
with the idea of realism, realism that is
real because it hurts. They deliberately
conceive a fantastic plot-a love duel-
and become antagonists who fight to
wound each other and cause suffering.

Miss Barrymore gave a most vivid
and lifelike interpretation of this ex-
ceedingly difficult role. Every enun-
ciation, every gesture (particularly
that out-throw of the hand so pecul-
iarly her own) was natural and per-
fectly poised. From height to depth,
subtlety to frankness, hardness to gen-
erosity, she portrayed each range of the
scale with the greatest ease. It is im-
possible to seize a fragment of worn
words and combine them into a match-
less pattern of praise.

The costuming and stage arrange-
ment were unique. It would be impossi-
ble to forget Ethel Barrymonre sitting
on a pale pink velour sofa, and wear-
ing a cream colored chiffon, protected
by a mauve wrap. It would be impossi-
ble to forget her seated, in the same
gown, at her piano, and playing, in an
attitude of utmost weariness, some
composition of DeBussey's, while the
mauve of her wrap called to the blue
and violet shadows of the paneled
room .Nor will the image ever fade of
Barrymore, magnificently clad in a
brilliant, white satin gown and scarf
tipped with the royal red, green, and
blue of imperial Rome, watching her
triumph turn to white ashes and cry-
ing, "Oh, I am afraid. I am afraid!"

Walter Gilbert, as Carlos, was also
magnificent and deserves especial com-
mendation for his splendid perfor-
mance opposite Ethel Barrymore. Jane
Bramley, as "Baby", is to be congrat-
ulated for the humor with which
she relieved an otherwise too heavy
plot. Harry Plimmer, the doctor, Wil-
liam Kershaw, the ambassador, and
Anita Rothe, the maid, also contribut-
ed in great measure to the success of
the production. Among the minor
roles, audiences enthusiastically wel-
comed the work of Ethel Barrymore
Colt and John Drew Colt, who made
their stage debut recently in "Scarlet
Sister Mary" with their mother.

Freshman Council
Gives Tea

Sophomores and Y. W. Cabi-
net Are Honor Guests.

On March the 17th the members of
the Freshman Council entertained the
Sophomore Class and the members of
the Y. W. cabinet in the Gym, which
was appropriately decorated with
shamrocks.

After each guest had been greeted
by the members of the council, who
stood in a receiving line, they were en-
tertained by a short program, in which
Polly Gordon, Charlotte Reid, Mardy
Friend, Johnny Mae York, Ciena Mc-
Mullen, Margaret Massie and Amelia
O'Neal participated. Then refresh-
ments, consistings of excellent punch
and cookies, were served. When every-
one had eaten and drunk her fill, the
A. P. D. C. orchestra played and the
afternoon was completed with dancing.

PROFESSORS ENTERTAIN

Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney en-
tertained a group of friends on Thurs-
day afternoon in honor of Miss Al-
mon, a former teacher in Agnes Scott.
Miss Almon taught here when the col-
ege was still an Academy and she re-
mained here until 1917. At present
she is visiting at the home of Mrs.
Maud Parry, a former Gym teacher at
Agnes Scott.

Many Attend

Ben Greet Plays

Excellent Performances Are
Rendered by Cast.

Unanimous acclaim was the reward
of the Ben Greet Shakespearean Play-
ers following their Saturday presenta-
tions of "Twelfth Night" and "Ham-
let". One hundred and thirty-seven
boarding students were registered in
Miss Hopkin's office for the evening
performance of "Hamlet" alone, and in
spite of the bad weather, the City Aud-
itorium was packed at both hours.

"Twelfth Night", played in the af-
ternoon, met with unparalled success.
Supported by a well-balanced cast, a-
gainst the simplicity of the Elizabeth-
an setting, Muriel Hutchinson as Viola,
Russell Thorndike as Sir Toby Belch,
and Sir Philip Ben Greet himself as
Malvolio gave perhaps the most
distinguished performances of the
afternoon. It is interesting to note
that "Twelfth Night" was written be-
fore 1601 and played in the early part
of that year, if we may judge from the
quotation on the program of an entry
in the diary of John Manningham,
February, 1601: "February 2 At
our feast we had a play called "Twelf-
th Night, or What You Will", much
like the Comedy of Errors, or Menech-
in Platus, but most like and near to
that Italian called Iganni. A good
practice in it to make the ste-
ward believe his Lady widow was in
love with him, by counterfeiting a let-
ter, as from his Lady in general terms,
telling him what she liked best in him
and prescribing his gesture smiling,
his apparel, etc., and then when he came
to practise, making him believe they
took him to be mad."

The evening performance of the 1st
Quarto of "Hamlet" was the embodi-
ment of art itself. Again the intelli-
gent interpretation and clear enuncia-
tion of a selected cast, backed by the
simple stage setting which is based on
Sir Phillip's theory that the stage
should stimulate and inspire rather
than relieve the imagination, the un-
usually artistic lighting effects, and
the elaborate period costumes went to-
gether to give an unprecedented pro-
duction. Sir Phillip appeared this time
in the roles of Corambis (Polonius)
and the first Grave Digger. Muriel
Hutchinson, as Gertrude the queen, re-
peated her excellent work of the after-
noon, reaching new heights in the dra-
matic scene between Hamlet and his
mother.

Enid Clark, as Ofelia, won the
hearts of her audience and exhibited
a voice of exquisite sweetness in the
mad scene. Russell Thorndike, reputed
to be the greatest Hamlet of the pres-
ent day, explained his reputation
through his acting of that role. Ham-
let in his hands, was more mature than
the Hamlet generally portrayed. Those
who heard his "Til call thee Hamlet,
King, father" will never forget it.

French Faculty Is
Hostess to the
Alliance Francaise

Agnes Scott Talent to Be
Featured in Songs, Music,
Sketches.

The members of the French Faculty
of Agnes Scott are to be hostess to the
Alliance Francaise, Thursday evening,
March 26. The Atlanta branch of the
Alliance has among its members many
men and women prominent in social
and cultural circles of the city.

The program is to be furnished en-
tirely by Agnes Scott talent. Mrs. S.
G. Stukes will sing a group of French
songs; Willa Beckham and Louise
Wesley will play a group of DeBussy.
For the sake of contrast, three scenes
of Rostrand's Masterpiece, "Cyrano de
Bergerac", will be presented. These
will be followed by a modern sketch by
Tristan Bernard, in which the situa-
tions are practically the same as
those furnishing the action i n
Rostrand's romatic drama Bernard's
sketch was written for radio produc-
tion and was broadcast from Paris
ast June and published in the Novem-
ber issue of "La Petite Illustration."
As an entr'acte there will be two dan-
ces: one in harmony with the romatic
of Cyrano, the other entirely mod-
ern in spirit. The following members
of the Agnes Scott French Club will
appear in the plays and dances: Mar-
guerite Gerard, Billie Belote, Miriam
Thompson, Ernestine Mitchell, Mary-
Sprinkle, Hilda McCurdy, Virginia
Gray, Marjorie Beilfuss and Marian
Fulk.

The program will be given at 8:30
in the chapel. A cordial invitation is
extended to the college community to
be present at this time.

Members of Gym
Dept. Entertain

Provide Fun and Frolic for
Other Professors.

If it seems impossibe to you that our
faculty could play for no good reason
at all you should have peeped into the
Gym Department invited our professor
down to play with them-for play's sake
They ran the gamut of games in their
fun, indulging in everything from golf,
basketball, baseball to ping pong and
horse shoes. For general achievement
in these sports Miss Preston won first
prize-a checker board with which she
may grow efficient is still another line.

Then in a whisk the playful guests
thought themselves transported to the
Fox where they saw the baby faces of
the faculty smilling from the screen.
How little some of them have changed
was shown by the ease with which they
were recognized. In the mode a la Fox
Mr. Johnson led the group in singing
peppy up-to-date songs, including
"Flow Gently, Sweet Af ton."

After the movie the grown-up babies
rushed headlong into a lively folk-
dance, something akin to the old game,
"Going to Jerusalem" except that in-
stead of scrambling for chairs, one
scrambles for partners. As it turned
the finale was a fight for Mr. Howson
by Mrs. Hayes and Miss Laney with
hopes that the best woman won.

They even played with the alphabet,
those professors, and made a game of
spelling but when the ice cream and
cake came in view everybody forgot
to play in the enthusiasm of "eating
for eating's sake."

Is the spirit of Agnes Scott lagging and diminishing in
strength ? Do people no longer care about campus activities? The
number of students at elections was appallingly small, only a small
portion of whom stayed to the end of the list. The attendance at
student government meetings and "sings" has noticeably fallen
off ; a mere handful of students are present at the inspiring vespers
sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. The administration is alarmed over
the chapel and prayers situation. The members of the classes are
unwilling wholeheartedly to support thier entertainments. Shall
we allow condition to go from bad to worse?

Stunts are just as attractive, meetings are just as interesting,
chapel exercises are just as inspiring and informing as they ever
have been. Mardi Gras will equal any others in gayety and fun
and entertainment.

The trouble lies with us. We have become apathetic and dis-
interested for no apparent reason. It is unfair to the old officers
Who are trying to bring the year to a triumphant close, and to the
nrw ones who will be taking over their tasks during the next few
months. They are our leaders, elected by us, and deserve our co-
operation and interest. Can we continue to give them less?

SWAN SONG

It is with a feeling somewhat akin to regret that we, the
Agonistic staff of 1931-32, pass on our positions to other hands.
We have cherished aspirations which have remained unfulfilled,
we have dreamed dreams which have been obscured by the routine
and trivialities connected with the mere machinery of publishing a
paper. We are aware of OUT shortcomings and our failures, yet we
hope that our labor has not been entirely in vain: that we have
served in our capacity the student body and our alma mater for
whoso sake the publieat ion exists. It we have expressed or molded
student opinion, if we have promoted the interests of Agnes Scott,
we have not striven for naught. To another willing, capable staff
We entrual the traditions and the ambitions which have been ours,
that thoy may be preserved.

Orphanages Offer
Opportunities

The amazing- number of vocations
that have a special appeal to women is
astounding. The fields of science, law,
education, medicine, religion, and
philanthropy continue to draw wom-
en to them to hold important pla-
ces that men are unable to fill ade-
quately. The field that holds perhaps
the most extensive and most intensive
possibilities for women is that of phil-
anthropy.

The most hopeful branch of charita-
ble endeavor is work in the insti-
tutions for dependent children. In this
field there are more opportunities for
constructive work than along any
other line. Young lives expanding
developing, and growing need the
love and tender treatment that the
woman alone is able to give. The re-
sponsibility involved in possessing the
power to mold a number of children is
great and must be undertaken serious-
ly. A minimum of the responsibility
may be partially realized when we
read that our orphanages in the United
States hold approximately 200,000
children between the ages of 5 and 18,
and that four-fifths of the workers are
women.

The history of orphanages is very in-
teresting. What was originally done by
broken-down clergymen is done today
by scientifically trained leaders much
more capable of doing what should be
done for the dependent or otherwise
unfortunate child. While the untrained
worker held the field he made little
progress but with the advent of the
expert came a widespread opportunity
for effective work. This opportunity
oppened at the time that the woman's
college was graduating large numbers
of women animated by a desire to play
some effective part in social advance.
The demand and supply were contem-
poraneous and for a decade college
women have been pouring into social
work. The advent of the college girl
has had two effects. It speedily raised
the standard of social work far above
its old level, and at the same time it
practically closed the door to any but
college women.

It is easy to see why trained workers
are necessary. Any phase of work re-
quires a thorough knowledge and un-
derstanding of people. Schools of
specialization are being established to
aid in the preparation of leaders.
Other different phases of leadership
in orphanages and other institutions
such as making preliminary investiga-
tion of family and conditions of appli-
cants, making physical examinations
for disease and bodily defects, making
detailed records for each child, arrang-
ing the diet for the institution, provid-
ing adequate recreational facilities
all these require, besides specific train-
ing in each line, strong bodies, resolute
minds, joyous determination to do good
work if the results are to be the best.

The limitations in funds and donat-
ions hinder the work to a very great
degree. Nevertheless orphanage based
on the cottage plan, which fosters in-
dividual attention and treatment, and
promotes personality, are appearing to
take the place of the old monotonous
institutions that suppress personality
and individualism. The cottage system
requires more workers and also better
trained ones. A good example of how
the cottage system works is shown in
the recent development in the Hillside
Cottages in Atlanta. Ample space
for building and recreation is provid-
ed; clean, airy buildings sufficiently
heated and lighted make a good en-
viornment. Individual care and atten-
tion is given to each child. A personal
interest of the child is arroused by
having a part in the performance of
daily duties. For those interested in
positions of superintendent, directors,
matrons, or nurses in orphanages, it
would be very worth while to visit the
Hillside Cottages and here see an effec-
tive example of the cottage system of
taking care of dependent children.

The demand for trained workers in
this field is increasing steadily. A wo-
man could not invest her life in any
work more unselfish and more eon-
structive than in some of the various
phases of orphanage work.

N. S. F. A. News

By William Trufant Foster
and Waddill Catchings

(By special permission to NSFA News
Service.)

Is high scholarship worth the strug-
gle? Opinions differ on this subject;
but statistics do not. Almost invari-
ably promise become performance. A
hundred scienetific studies prove it.
This is notably true, as we have al-
ready shown, of doctors, lawyers, and
ministers.

But is it true of business men ? It
certainly is true of the men employed
by the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company .President Gifford has
shown that men who graduate in the
first tenth of their class, have four
times as many chances of getting into
the highest salaried groups, as those
who graduate in the lowest third of
their class.

The Telephone Company does not
hand out large salaries for sentimen-
tal reasons. It demands and gets per-
formance. It did not even know, un-
til recently, that it was paying much
larger salaries to high scholarship men
that it was paying to other men.

Another study shows that the grad-
uates of Bowdoin who receive the
highest marks in college, as a rule, the
highest incomes after graduation

Dean Potter, of Purdue University,
has shown that superior scholarship
among engineering students leads, as
a rule, to success in engineering, as in-
dicated by salaries. Similar results
appear in a study of the graduates of
the Yale School of Forestry, and of
West Point.

Some of our most successful corpor-
ations evidently have these facts in
mind. They have made standing offers
to various colleges to give positions to
the highest scholars in every class.
Similar standing offers have been made
to the Harvard Business Schoo.

Yes, Business wants Scholars. It
wants them more than ever before.

And more than ever before, it knows
what to do with them.

Many Universities Reopened in Spain

Madrid, Spain ( NSFA) Most of
the important universities in Spain re-
opened this week without trouble after
a month's closure following student
disorders, according to an Associated
Press dispatch.

Authorities expressed themselves as
hopeful that the students, now that a
new government has been formed and
conditions have become more stabilized
would go quietly about their work and
would resume political demonstrations.

The Fascist government has founded
a school of journalism in Rome the
first of its kind to be established in
Italy.

"Going to college is a current fad,
like Backgammon," said Bruce Barton,
a prominent author, contributor to va-
rious widely-read magazines, and
chairman of Batten, Barton, Durstine
and Osborn, well-known advertising
agency, in an interview recently grant-
ed the Princetonian.

Washington State College is said to
report that college yells and cigarettes
are bringing about a definte lowering
of girls' voices.

Rabindranoth Tagore. the great
Hindu poet and philosopher, on his re-
cent trip to America, was prevented
by illness from greeting individually
from public platforms all the people
whom he wished to reach with his mes-
sage of world peace. Therefore the
Women's Press has given him an op-
portunity to convey his message
through its pages.

Tagore's means of speaking to the
world are not limited to words, of
which he is such a master; he is an
artist as well.

Two hundred of his paintings are on
exhibit. They have been hailed in
Europe as the beginning of a new era
in art. The Art Gallery of Toronto
says: "These are genuinely naive and
original expressions; extraordinary
evidence of eternal youth persistent in
a hoary and venerable personage."

Tagore's message to us is as fol-
lows:

"The opening of the Suez Canal has
freed the path of commerce between
the two great geographical divisions of
the world. My appeal is to open up
the channel for the commerce of cul-
ture between the western continents
and my own country, India, which
represents the East, for through such
freedom of communication will be ful-
filled a most important mission of Edu-
cation. Mountains and seas can not
obstruct the fact that deep in our
beings we need you and you need us,
for we are kin."

What ho! What, what! and other
expressions of salutation,

To gab, or not to gab,-that is the
question! Whether 'tis nobler in the
mind to suffer the tortues of a Bible
term-paper, or Heck! There's no use
in going further; I've already decided
to gab. I can't help it. Why, so many
things have been happening this week
it's given your poor old Aunt Aggie
earache just listening. Wasn't it ex-
citing when old Shakespeare came? I
was making my exit from "Hamlet"
Saturday night, in an inspired and glo-
rified mood, when Stuart Weather-
spoon, in a disappointed and dispara-
ging manner remarked, "Shucks, I
don't think "Hamlet" is such a hot
play-it's nothing but a lot of quota-
tions strung together!" It took a big
strong man to carry me out.

And in relative importance to
Shakespeare comes the latest news
bulletin on "Our Pets". The only thing
to be said is that if Bobby Hart doesn't
keep her wandering boy (meaning the
alligator) closer in the family circle,
there's going to be a first-class reptile
murder on the second floor Main. The
creature got loose the other day, and
was with great difficulty lured back
to his happy home. I insist that disges-
tive disorders must be the cause. The
poor beast received his first meal in
six months not long ago, and didn't
even know how to eat! He has all the
symptoms of acute indigestion, so I
guess symptom's the mater with him.

Something is the matter with Mil-
dred McCalip, and in a big way. Now r
that it's Spring, her thoughts have
lightly turned to love, indeed; but alas,
all too lightly, it seems; for from all
reports, she and Vernon have decided
to discontinue all amorous overtures!
What an unhappy state! But we'd
feel twice as miserable about it if we
didn't know darn well that he'll prob-
ably be trotting up to see her before
anybody can say peep-turkey. That
lass has a way with the men!
Mag Glass is running her a close sec-
ond, by crackie; and I'm not teething.
Last week that damsel went
to the dentist to have her pearls re-
juvenated. The very next day that
gentleman, apparently quite smitten,
called up and asked her to go to a
dance! I've been searching diligently
for signs of phyorr pyhhor aw, I'm
all gummed up. Anyway, you know
four out of five. . . . And besides that
Lila Ross Norfleet trotted up to David-
son for Sophomore week-end on the
class president's bid and led out the
dances. On top of all that, Sturdy
went to North Georgia not long
ago, and met her fate in the
form of a big bronze Indian, who
sends her Indian war-songs written for
B-flat trumpets, to say nothing of ar-
rowheads, tomahawks, scalps, etc.
Wouldn't she make a swell squaw?
Mabye so. At any rate, she's been look-
ing around for bargains in blankets
ever since!

Well, as my mother always told me,
it's never too late to stop. I'll just give
you a great big surprise, and do it!

Devotedly,

The Store All Women Know

Let's Fly Home!

The modern air liner soaring daily
a 5,000 feet above the earth carries a
new signifinance this year for the un-
dergraduate. It bears a very definite
relationship to the Spring Holidays.

This year the big transport plane
speeds aloft with passengers aboard as
well as hurry-up letters between col-
lege and home.

At a rate of more than 100 miles an
hour the great multimotor air liner
skims across the sky, scheduled to land
at its regular ports in two hours, four
hours or six hours, according to dis-
tance to be traversed. Anyhow, it
speeds its regular ports in two hours,
four hours or six hours, according to
distance to be traversed. Anyhow, it
speeds its passengers to their destina-
tion over marked air lanes three times
as fast as its nearest transport com-
petitor would travel.

The swift air liner, then signifies to
the undergraduate many more hours at
home this year in the holiday season,
hours formerly consumed in slow, ted-
ious travel on earth-bound transports
but happy hours now for the student
and home folks alike. The plane has
clipped this period of time from the
homeward journey and from the return
trip to college as a gift from aviation.
If the undergraduate lives a consider-
able distance from college, say across
a State or two, travel by plane this
year may add a day or even days to the
holiday period at home. Study of sched-
ules will reveal the actual time added
through the medium of the beneficent
air liner.

The homebound student knows al-
ready at what hour Atlanta airport
(Candler Field) can be reached from
the college station. At this airport pas-
senger planes of American Airways
take off daily at 8:20 A.M. for Jack-
son, Miss., Shreveport, La., Dallas and
Fort Worth, Texas and points West as
far as Los Angeles, Calif.

Planes of Eastern Air Transport
take off daily at Candler Field for
Macon, Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami
Florida at 10:15 A. M., and for Green-
ville, Spartanburg, Charlotte, Greens-
boro, Richmond, Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York at
7:45 A.M. (Central Time).

In addition to the swift passage
through the air planes, travel by this
modern method is clean, comfortable
and exhilarating. The cost of travel by
the air liner is only slightly more than
that by train plus Pullman fare. These
regularly scheduled ships have a high-
er safety record in transporting pas-
sengers than any other method of trav-
el except the steamboat.

The planes are operated on a system
similar to the "Block System" of the
railroads and they are guarded against
adverse conditions in weather and air-
port landings by two-way radio.

Miss Society, all bedecked in a gay new
bonnet and winsome frock, will hold
the center of the stage. Society is a

that "all that glitters is not gold."
But we won't be young but once, they

THE AGONISTIC

Riding Is New Sport Baseball Reigns

Admiral Byrd, cute, adorable, gor-
geous, or what-have-you-in-the-way-
of-collegiate epithets man that he was,
spoke for two hours one afternoon on
our campus on the joys of exploring.
All very well, this exploring, you say;
but who are we to go poking our fing-
ers about in rubbish heaps seeking for
kitchen mounds of lost generations,
much less to pick up and spend a year
or two hunting new continents on
snowobund ice packs? Still, our sailor
friend spoke convincingly, and what
with this and that and the spring
breezes whistling down our necks, the
urge to conquer new fields surges
within. For those who feel this desire
let me offer a solution to your prob-
lem. (No, best beloved, this is not
Beatrice Fairfax speaking!) There
truly is something new to try under
the sun, and it's a new sport; an ad-
venturous one, too horseback riding!

(Now, now, don't tear up this page;
there are other things on here you'll
want to read. I know you may have
ridden all fall and winter, but just
hold your horses ) This season the
gym department is having classes, be-
ginners and advanced, in the eques-
trian art. And from the price you'd
think they came from Davison's base-
ment an hour and a half twice a
week for two months for ten dollars!
Can you stand it? (You may have to
stand, anyway, after your first ride.)
It offers countless opportunities, such
as affording job-seeking Seniors a
chance to replace Madame Dido on
Barnum and Bailey's next tour. And
picture the grand figure you'll cut in
your roommate's britches to boot. So
investigate this new sport; and won't
you be able to scoff at those nasty
folk, doubtless the same who had mis-
givings as to the piano playing ability
of the man in the advertisement, who
"laughed when you sat down on a
horse . . ." I'm certain an explor-
ation of the gym department's latest
release will lead to a discovery of the
secret-of-social-poise-in-spite-of - bow-
legs, of how to make friends on the
farm, and numerous other details es-
sential to happiness.

The faculty of the University of
Rochester recently voted to do away
with all 8 a. m. classes, having decided
it was better for the students to sleep
in their own rooms instead of the class-
rooms. The Florida Flambeau.

Spring has come and with it the
king of sports baseball! Out-of-doors
on the baseball diamond is the place
for every "healthy Hottentot" to spend
that surplus energy and enjoy a fast
and thrilling game. Watch the pitcher
as she winds up and sends a straight,
fast ball whizzing across the plate;
see the heavy swing of the batter as
she "swats" the ball; and then watch
'er run on on first, second, third
base a home run! Really you can't
afford to miss baseball! There is a
place on the teams for many a Hotten-
tot; and there is a place for you to try
for, while you are enjoying "America's
most popular sport"! It's a fascinat-
ing fame, built on natural and funda-
mental skills, and one that offers to
every girl a rich opportunity for
sportsmanship, fellowship, and leader-
ship. Do come out!

The commissioner of baseball. Hon.
Kennesaw M. Landis, says: "Millions
have played baseball, and have found
the spirit of sportsmanship as well as
physical and mental alertness in it. It
is, indeed, a wonderful thing that these
benefits may now be enjoyed by girls.
It is easy to learn, and enjoyment and
practical benefits may be derived from
it regardless of the player's skill. I
hope to see baseball played as widely
by young women in the years to come
as it is by young men today."

For this sport, the following man-
agers have been chosen:

Senior Mildred Duncan.

Junior Susan Glenn.

Sophomore Margaret Belote

Freshman Virginia Tillotson.

A college degree has been estimated
to be worth $72,000 by Dean Everett

from high education is responsible for
the high figure. The Florida Flam-

By a score of 5 to 0 the Sophomores
completely snowed under the Seniors,
school baseball champions for three
years, in a fast and exciting game Fri-
day. March 20. The first inning, Arm-
strong knocked a three-bagger to bring
in Belote, thus scoring the first run
of the game. The Sophomores held
the Seniors with two men on base and
left the score 1 and 0 for the first
period. The second inning was a battle
between pitchers. McCalip and Hap-
poldt fanned out two each and allowed
only two hits on either side. The field-
ers and basemen were right on the
job, catching and throwing with ac-
curacy and making no errors. It was
a close and tense inning. During the
third and last inning the Sophomores
came back stronger than ever, making
four spectacular runs, and then hold-
ing the Seniors scoreless. Spivey
knocked the only home run of the
game. Happoldt, Belote, and Sweets
also scored in the third. The game
was one of the best ever played on the
school diamond from the point of view
of excitement and good baseball. It
furnished one of the surprises of the
year when the Sophomores came back
with a team strong enough to defeat
and hold scoreless the Senior team,
which up to this time had never lost
a game.

The line-up was as follows:
Sophomores Seniors
Belote, c. Grey, c.

Happoldt, p. McCalip, p.

Armstrong, 1st b. Purdie, 1st b.

Spivey, 2nd b. McAuliffe, 2nd b.

Woltz, s. s. Watson, s. s.

Sturtevant, r. f. Boswell, r. f.

Cowles, c. f. Davis, c. f.

Sweets, 1. f. Daniel, 1. f.

The Freshmen staged a comeback
from their decided defeat of the pre-
vious week and defeated the Juniors,
18-11.

The batting of the Frosh, coupled
with their comparative ease in han-
dling the ball, showed up the Junior's
weak points in throwing and catching.

The Juniors were unable to score
in the first inning, while the Fresh-
men crossed home plate a good many
times to pile up their score. The upper-
classmen succeeded in bringing in a
few runs but could not stop the Fresh-
men. Line-up:

Juniors. Freshmen.

Archery, the ancient sport of fair
peoples, is becoming more and more
popular on the Agnes Scott campus
each year. Last fall the grounds were
constantly dotted with archers, armed
with bow and arrows, arm guards and
finger tips going to or coming from
the practices on Rebekah Greens. But
on rainy days when the bowmen were
not able to shoot outside, they met in
the archery room of the gymnasium to
point an old arrow or replace a lost
feather. The Tournament at the end
of the season, though, was perhaps the
most thrilling event of all, Diana Dyer
winning first place; Bessie Meade
Friend, second, and Mardie Stigall.
third.

Archery, however, promises to be
even more popular during the spring
season, and already more interest is
being shown. Each one is working en-
thusiastically for the silver cup, which
will be presented to the winner of the
Spring Tournament.

police were called out recently to dis-
perse a class fight between 400 Fresh-
men and Sophomore women on the

American Alumni
Councils on Campus

Visitors Entertained at Tea
in Alumnae House.

The American Alumni Council, com-
posed of the secretaries of the various
alumni associations of all larger col-
leges and universities throughout the
country, held its first southern con-
vention at the Biltmore, in Atlanta,
April 15-19. This was the eighteenth
annual conference of this organization,
and their hosts were the alumni of
Agnes Scott, Emory and Tech.

Agnes Scott entertained these visit-
ors with a tea in the Anna Young
Alumnae House Thursday afternoon,
April 16. In the receiving line were
Dr. McCain, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn,
Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, Miss Dorothy
Hutton, Miss Mary Warren and other
resident alumnae. Mrs. J. R. McCain
and Miss HopkHs poured tea. The May
Queen, Miss Mildred Duncan, and her
court assisted in serving. The Grand-
daughters' Club escorted the visitors
over the campus, pointing out the
various buildings, and things of in-
terest. Music was furnished during
the afternoon by the A. P. D. C. or-
chestra under direction of Miss Johnnie
Turner.

A. DUNBAR TO GIVE TAKE-OFF

Augusta Dunbar, '30, who recently
returned from Europe, has consented
to give, on Saturday morning after
the customary chapel exercises, a
series of take-offs on people she en-
countered abroad. The repertoire of
this talented impersonator includes
many interesting subjects "An Ef-
ficient Tourist in a Gondola," "An
English Baronet," "An American Boy
in the Louvre," "A French Doctor,"
and "A Night Club Queen."

Miss MacDougall
Given Guggenheim
Fellowship

Professor to Study a Year in
Laboratories of Germany
and France.

Recognition of her splendid work
has come to a member of the Agnes
Scott faculty, and it is with much
pride and pleasure that the college
community learns that Dr. Mary
Stuart MacDougall, head of the De-
partment of Biology, has been award-

ed a Guggenheim fellowship for re-
search. She will study abroad next
year, continuing her work on the
Protozoa. Miss MacDougall is in-
vestigating the effect of the ultra-
violet rays on unicellular animals. She
has proved that one of the mutations
obtained by use of ultra-violet rays
follows the Mendelian law, whih gov-
erns heredity in the higher animals.

Miss MacDougall will sail for Eu-
rope during the summer. About the
middle of August she will attend the
World Biological Congress iu Poland,
going afterward into Ru^ia for ten
days; while in Russia she will visit the
biological laboratory of the Soviet
Republic, at Moscow. From there she
will go to Berlin-Dalhem to study at
the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, being
associated there with Dr. Max Hart-
mann, famuos protozoologist. After
six months she will go to the Uni-
versity of Paris, and there will have
at her disposal the laboratory of Dr.
Favre Fremiet, who has also done dis-
tinguished work in this field. Miss
MacDougall will visit a number of
the biological laboratories in Europe,
including those in Poland, Russia,
Germany, Italy, France, and Eng-
land.

The Guggenheim Memorial Founda-
tion was established by former United
States Senator and Mrs. Simon Gug-
genheim as a memorial to their son,
who died April 26, 1922. It offers a
number of fellowships in any field of
knowledge and for creative work in
any of the arts. It was established in
order to improve the quality of educa-
tion and the practice of arts in the
United States, to foster research, and
to provide for the cause of better in-
ternational understanding. The fel-
lowships are awarded annually by spe-
cial boards, representing various fields
of knowledge. They average $2500,
arid are for research either in Mexico,
Latin America, or Europe. Seventy-
seven fellowships were awarded this
year; there wsre thirteen women and
seven southerners included among
these.

A native of Laurinburg, N. C, Miss
MacDougall holds an M. A. degree
from Randolph-Macon College, an M.

Reading Contest

Held in Gym

Sponsored by Southern Ass.
of Teachers of Speech.

The Southern Association of Teach-
ers of Speech sponsored a verse-speak-
ing contest in the gymnasium-audi-
torium at Agnes Scott Friday evening,
April 17. Representatives of many
colleges of the solid South from Vir-
ginia to Texas and Oklahoma took
part in the contest. Martha Skeen, of
the Freshman class, represented Agnes
Scott.

This was the first instance of such a
contest in the South, although it has
been the custom in New England and
at Northwestern University for a num-
ber of years. In 1923, John Masefield
conceived the idea of reading poetry to
improve diction, and materialized this
idea by holding, in England, the first
verse-speaking contest, with represen-
tatives from leading colleges taking
part. In New England, this contest
has assumed the form of an annual
festival. Agnes Scott has taken the
initiative in adopting for Southern col-
leges this idea of Masefield's. It is to
be hoped that, after the success of Fri-
day night, the verse-speaking contests
will lead to distinctive achievements in
the colleges of the south.

A. S. TO DEBATE VA. COLLEGE

Agnes Scott, in the second engage-
ment of the season, will debate Hamp-
den-Sidney on the question, Resolved:
That legal censorship should be abol-
ished. The event is to take place on
the night of April 28 at 8:30. The
Agnes Scott team, composed of Anne
Hopkins, Nell Brown, and Katherine
Woltz, alternate, will uphold the af-
firmative against the visiting team,
Plumer Jones and Macon Reed.

At the annual meeting in March,
Miss Emma May Laney, associate
professor of English here, was elected
to honorary membership in the na-
tional honor society, Phi Beta Kappa.
Miss Laney took her M. A. at Colum-
bia University and her Ph. D. at Yale
University. Her election is based on
her excellent record at these insti-
tutions and the unusual success which
she has had as a teacher. All the
Agnes Scott students and graduates,
who have won prizes for poetry or had
their poems published, have received a
great part of their training and in-
struction in this line from her: Mrs.
Margaret Bland Sewell, Miss Janef
Preston, Alice Jernigan Dowling,
Mary Catherine Williamson, Kitty
Reid, and Gilchrist Powell have all
brought honor to the college in this
field.

Agnes Scott is one of the few
woman's colleges in the United States
which has a chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa and it is quite an honor for
members of student body to be elected
to its membership. But membership
on the basis of graduate work and
accomplishments since graduation in-
volves even greater honor and Miss
Laney is indeed to be congratulated.

"0-Hello" to Be
Presented Mav 2

Seniorpolitan Opera Co.
Fill Engagement.

to

The Seniorpolitan Opera Company
will fill its customary spring engage-
ment here with the presentation of
"O-Hello!" May the second at eight-
thirty o'clock. This announcement,
made Saturday, was received with un-
usual enthusiasm by all opera lovers
who have deplored the absence of
opera in Atlanta this year.

"O-Hello" offers the sole opportun-
ity afforded this year to see and hear
an operatic performance which will
combine melodrama and burlesque into
one of the most thrilling, most comi-
cal, and most musical ever given on
an Agnes Scott stage. With an excit-
ing elopement as a curtain raiser and
a breath-taking smothering as a hair-
raiser, "O-Hello!" will keep you on
needles and pins (to be provided by
Agnes Scott Laundry). The cast will
be named at a later date, but it is
needless to add that renowned singers
and dancers are members of the
Seniorpolitan Company. At present
they are getting in tune for the oc-
casion.

Senior Opera is an event to which
everyone looks forward. "O-Hello" is
but the newest of a long list of high-
ly entertaining burlesques. "Tan
Trousers," "Polly's Archie," "Ah Heed
Her," "Low He Grins," and "Madame
Buttermilk" are a few which the
various Senior Classes have given
after the usual Atlanta Opera season.
Last year's, "II Flows the Gore," won
the well-deserved title of being the
goriest in opera history.

Opera patrons are urged to send in
their orders for boxes and for seats in
the dress circle at the earliest possible
date. They are also urged to make
early orders at hardwood and grocery
stores for costume accessories, the
latest dress circle styles being modeled
along the vegetable, broom, and frying
pan. Tickets will be fifty and seven-
ty-five cents.

EDITORIAL

With this issue of the Agonistic, the new staff goes into
harness. We have a clean page on which to write. With what are
we going to cover it? We answer the question with this: it is our
aim to continue the work that has been done in the past, to fulfill
during our term of office the real purpose of a college newspaper.
We feel that this aim is summed up in the following words: it is
the purpose of a college paper to keep the college community
posted on coming events of interest, to give an account of past and
current news, to report interesting facts concerning other colleges
and student organizations, to stimulate student and faculty inter-
est in extra-curricular activities and to be an expression of repre-
sentative student opinion. We pledge our support and cooperation,
personally and as a paper to the success of campus projects and
organizations.

This seems to be a time of beginnings and endings, of tying
up the last knots and of picking up the strings. The Seniors are
putting the finishing touches on their college careers and the
underclassmen are being constantly reminded of the duties and
responsibilities, which are being or soon will be shifted to their
shoulders.

The tasks which we will soon undertake will not be exceeding-
ly difficult from day to day, but at times they will grow burden-
some and we may ask ourselves what all the work and worry ac-
complishes. It is for this reason that we must fix the final and
more or less abstract aim which should be that of every extra-cur-
ricular activity on the campus, clearly before us the good of the
college.

WHAT IS A COLLEGE?

What is a college? Is it the buildings? Is it the faculty? Is
it the administration? Is it the students? Or is it all of these
plus a certain intangible something, which somehow has a balance
of tradition and the progressive spirit something so intangible
that unless one is always conscious of it and its value, one loses it
entirely and finds that only an institution is left.

JOURN ULISM

Of particular interest to the Agonistic staff and all members
of the college community interested in Journalism in any form, is
the course in this subject offered next year. It is according to the
catalogue "a course in the writing of journalistic prose based on
a study of the methods employed by the best modern writers of
newspaper and magazine articles. Instruction and practice in
gathering suitable material and in presenting that material clearly
and interestingly." The course is sure to prove a valuable addition
to the curriculum and affords the opportunity of technical training
to those who plan to take up journalism as a career.

Feature

The heading "Agnes Scott Campus
A Botanical Garden Go By Street
Car" which adorned Atlanta street car
cards last year, aroused much com-
ment, and, perhaps, amusement. The
question was raised, "Where are Agnes
Scott's botanical gardens, and what
right has she to such a claim?" At
the time of the advertisement there
was some justice in the question. But-
trick Hall was still in process of con-
struction and the South quadrangle
suffered from the litter and confusion
contingent upon its erection. The care-
fully laid out walks, shrubbery, and
the soft verdant grass plots were still
a dream. But now th? dream has been
realized, and the grass is so beautiful
that one Hottentot was heard to re-
mark casually, "The grass is so pretty,
I wish I were a cow so I could eat it."

A few days ago spring awakened in
all her glory at Agnes Scott. Grace-
ful Japanese cherry trees, jonquils,
violets, crocuses, purple and white flag-
lilies, and myriads of other flowers bid
us come forth and enjoy nature.
Shrubs which have bloomed for many
years at Agnes Scott are again bud-
ding and blossoming. The delicate
purple wisteria which hangs graceful-
ly from the top of the tree in front of
Buttrick is a lovely sight. The grass
by Buttrick is luxuriantly green, and,
indeed, the whole campus is beautiful.

Then we are to have a formal gar-
den! The alumnae have long felt the
need for a beauty spot near the Alum-
nae House, and have most generously
arranged for a landscape garden with
beautiful flowers and bulbs, which will
be well cared for. The Senior class is
giving a pool with running water. With
the acquisition of the garden and pool,
made possible by these generous gifts,
the Agnes Scott campus will certainly
be a beauty spot, and will well deserve
the name of "botanical garden."

Y. W. News

The annual conference of the Geor-
gia Student Y. W. GL A. and Y. M. C.

A. was held at Camp Wilkins, which is
part of the Agricultural School of the
University of Georgia in Athens,
April 10, 11, 12. Students from all
the colleges in Georgia were repre-
sented: Georgia Tech, University of
Georgia, Piedmont, G. S. C. W., G. S.
T. C, Wesleyan, Brenau, S. G. W. C.
Agnes Scott, Shorter, LaG range and
Georgia State College for Men. The
delegates from Agnes Scott were
Diana Dyer, Mary Boyd, Maude Arm-
strong, Margaret Bell, C'Lena McMul-
len, Field Shackleford, Chopin Hudson,
and Mary Sturtevant.

Chopin was co-chairman of the con-
ference, with Ed Zeigler from
Emory. The principal speaker
was Dr. Smart from Emory. His
theme for his three splendid talks was
"the Full and Creative Life." In its
development he applied the teachings
of Jesus to our modern world, and
tried to show a workable philosophy
of life, based on the life of Christ.

A forum on race was led by Mr. R.

B. Eleazer, chairman of the Atlanta
Commission on Racial Co-operation.
Mr. Claud Nelson, a southern Y. M.
secretary, led a discussion on Indus-
try. Besides many group meetings
there were several reports, meetings
of Y. W. and the Y. M. There were
also student group meetings which
discussed program building, campus
relations, world relations, vocational
counseling, Freshmen, campus segre-

The purpose of this conference was
to help new cabinets get some train-

Each delegate tried to get as many
suggestions as possible from the other
colleges about how each carried out its
work, and everyone agreed that the
conference fulfilled its purpose.

Although the state of Georgia was
founded with the original purpose of
making it a silk producing colony and
the industry was pursued here diligent-
ly for a long time, at the present time
there is not a single silkworm in the
whole state. This fact was brought to
light recently by Dr. Jack P. Corry of
the history department who wrote to
the United States department of
agriculture in search of one of the rare
crawlers. The reply revealed the fact
that not only are there no silk worms
in the state of Georgia, but there is
but one man in the United States who
is known to possess any of the worms.

THE AGONISTIC

3

Heigh-ho, Giddy,

Oh, don't mind the salutation! Just
between me and Rudy Vallee. And are
you still feeling that schoolgirl thrill
over the extended holidays ? Me, I
continue to experience a glow of ex-
citement (not of scarlet fever) just to
think about it. Which all reminds me
do you know that Laura Brown is
positive she's falling victim to scar-
let fever, because she has pink tooth-
brush! Now are you amazed! Well,
judging from the ruddy appearances
of a good many of the dear old school
chums around here, you'd think the
disease was doing its worst. Take a
squint at the elect, f'r instance, Peggy
Hippee, and Margy Ellis, and Polly
Gordon (though I haven't reached that
level yet), who, having spent the holi-
days in Florida, are now eligible for
The Sunbeam Club. A nice new shiny
pin will be sent to each little one on
the receipt of twenty-five cents, and a
letter telling about their psts, Sunday
School teachers, and baby brothers.
Those who lack the latter may sub-
stitute an account of their school Ar-
bor-Day program. Address communi-
cations to this column; if possible, de-
stroy before sending Heavens! Im-
agine my being carried away by the
spirit of the moment in such a fash-
ion!

Everybody seems to have had a rip-
ping time during the holidays, though

Shirley McPhaul insists that the first
part was best: and indeed she might,
considering the snouzy diamond which
appeared on her left hand as soon as
Randy gave the measles the go-by.
From all reports, Penny Brown liter-
ally tore up Winston-Salem: just as
Betty Preston did Spartanburg!
Yes, and what I heard about you, you
big long drink-of-water! OOOOh!
You'd better hurry across with the de-
tails, or may you sell Fuller brushes
till the cows come heme!

And since we've come back, there's
been plenty of excitement! Didn't
Julia Thompson and Bessie Meade
Friend date the Davidson debaters last
Saturday night? They'd better watch
their step. They'll be losing their
woman's gift of tongues before they
know it. Guess that'd hack 'em! But
this week's Prize for Potency was won
the other night by Peggy Link, who
literally swept her date off his feet.
Imagine such a way with the men!
The poor soul took a tumble of Dr.
Davidson's own spscial variety, and
fell out of his chair backwards. How
do she do it? Such is charm!

Well, that's the caboose in my train
of thought Guess I'll be making
tracks.

Devotedly,

Aggie.

Although spring holidays are not
yet out of sight, the Hottentots have
already gone back into the old swing
of society rounds. Fraternities seem
to be playing a big part in the campus
belle's program. Frat dances and Sun-
day dinners occupy most of their spare
time.

And everybody's rushing off for the
week-end in a good-looking spring suit
with a bag full of lovely spring clothes.
Isn't it thrilling just to look around
the campus? Leaves on the trees and
early flowers aren't the only things
that are coming out! Well, let's just
look and see where everybody's going
so dressed up.

How to Attract Cadets

(1) Softly hum or whistle "Anchors
Aweigh." If that doesn't work:

(2) Comment on his uniform. Rave
about it in a loud voice. If that doesn't
work:

(3) Criticize it in a loud voice. If
that doesn't work:

(4) Kick him smartly in the shins.
If that doesn't work:

(5) It's probably not a cadet. It may
be an usher from the Paramount.

THE AGONISTIC

Senior-Soph 12-3 Frosh-Junior 12-8

Playing for the probable school
championship of '31, the Seniors and
Sophomores met on the diamond in a
game tense with excitement, which re-
sulted in an overwhelming victory for
the Seniors and established their title
of school champions. The Seniors took
the lead in the first and maintained it
throughout the game. The Sophomores
could poll only one run to the Seniors'
three. The second inning, howsver,
brought the Sophomores' score within
one run of the Seniors', and the third
period began with the score 4 and 3.
McCalip then turned professional and
straightway fanned out three men,
while the Sophomore team went all
to pieces under the heavy batting at-
tack of the Seniors, and allowed them
eight runs, leaving the score 12 and 3
in favor of the Seniors. The line-up
was as follows:

SENIOR SOPHOMORE
Grey, c. Belote, c.

McCalip, p. Happoldt, p.

Purdie, lb. Armstrong, lb.

McAuliff, 2b. Sweets, 2b.

mon; Stigall for Heath.

New Ideas for Gvm

If you want something different, try
the gym work in the Bertham School
of Gymnastics for Women in Copen-
hagen. The custome is merely tunics
and sandals. Anxious to increase mo-
bility, elasticity and power and to cor-
rect physical faults, corresponding
here to our "I, G.," pupils learn to
master their body. First there is run-
ning, walking, lighter exercises. The
exercises gradually increasing to a full
b nrs work are done on balance beams
two feet high and five inches wide.
First pupils walk, then run, walk back-
wards, tip-toe, chain step and cater-
pillar. Finally complete relaxation of
the body from the hips is attained,
and all unnecessary motion is eliminat-
ed. Strain is prevented by the care-
ful elementary work done. The in-
structor, Miss Prytz, plans to bring
a group of students to the U. S. for
exhibition, believing our country to be
far behind in physical culture.

By a score of 12 to 8 the Freshmen
team defeated the Juniors for the sec-
ond time this season. The Frosh put
up an invincible line-up, that the
Juniors could not down, and played
with a spirit equally undaunted. The
first inning gave the Juniors the lead
wirh five runs to their credit, while
the Freshmen brought in three men.
Tillotson, manager and catcher for
the Frosh, furnished the thrill of the
inning by knocking a home run the
first thing out of the box. The second
inning brought the Freshmen into
own, and left the score in their favor
by a margin of one run. Excitement
ran high as the Juniors stepped up
to bat in the third; but the Frosh,
leading now with a score of 12 to 7,
held the Juniors to a lone run. The
ga*me was fast and interesting
throughout the three innings; and
good baseball was exhibited. The line-
up was as follows:

FRESHMAN JUNIOR
Tillotsen, c. Glenn, c.

Russell, p. Schlich, p.

Calypool, lb. Bowman, lb.

Austin, 2b. Dyer, 2b.

achieved the remarkable result of
permanently changing the form of a
Chilodon.

The Protozoa are the lowest form of
animal life. This microscopic single
celled creature leads a rather peaceful
existence, untroubled by the stock
market crash or depression. He is able
to navigate his puddle at a lively rate
(well we know who have encountered
in Freshman zoo lab!) and to reproduce
his kind. Miss MacDougall selected a
chiloden uncinatus, a particular
species of protozoan, and exposed it to
ultra-violet rays for fifteen seconds
on four occasions. Examination then
revealed the chiloden a changed crea-
ture. He had acquired certain new
characteristics, among them a very de-
cided tail. Now the offsprings of this
chiloden likewise possessed this new

appendage. This was true unto the
third and fourth generations yea,
even unto the fortieth generation,
where the experimenter left them.
Next, Miss MacDougall crossed the
tailed chiloden with an unenlightened
tailless neighbor. The progeny were
modified in form and followed roughly
the Mendelian law, by which it has
been determined that in human beings
certain characteristics are inherited
according to a definite ratio. This is
the first instance in which the law has
been shown to hold for the Protozoa.
The fact that by artifiicial means
ultra-violet rays it was possible to
permanently change the form of a
single specimen and its progeny is of
tremendous importance in evolution.
Ultra-violet radiation is simply a con-
centration of a element of s-mlight,
and Miss MacDougall points '^ut that
if that could change the form of a
protozoan, perhaps nature used the
same means in the evolution of the
species. That is what scientists hope
to prove someday, though enough in-
formation is not yet at hand to make
possible the statement of a theory.
It is along this line of investigation
that Miss MacDougall will work while
abroad next year.

Recognition of her outstanding
achievement has come to Miss Mac-
Dougall from other sources. Recently
she read a paper on "Inheritance in
the Tailed Form of Chiloden Unci-
natus'' before the Georgia Academy of
Science, of which she is past presi-
dent. She has been asked to read this
paper before the National Academy of
Science at its annual meeting in
Washington, D. C, April 27-29.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I
expect such a thing to happen to me,"
says Miss MacDougall. But it did
happen, and Agnes Scott rejoices with
her.

All-Star Cast Will
Be Presented
In "O-Hello"

To Be Assisted By Famous
Seniorpolitan Orchestra
and Skilled Director.

Great preparations are being made
by the Seniorpolitan Opera Company
who will misrepresent "O-Hello!" in
the gym Saturday evening at eight-
thirty o'clock. Curious sounds issuing
from the direction of the gym an-
nounce the presence, on the campus,
of a carload of warblers, including
coughs, a prima donna, a baritone, and
a choice selection of other songsters.
The director of the famous Senior-
politan orchestra is overjoyed by the
prospect of giving Agnes Scott the op-
portunity of hearing such remark-
able music. "The tenor, alto and
soprano gazooks are developing un-
usually well, and with the addition of
two mandolins and half a dozen drums
our orchestra will be superb!" stated
Director Purdie.

Chopin Hudson is directing the
opera and Ellene Winn is chairman of
the writing committee. Tickets will
be on sale in Buttrick and everyone is
urged to make their reservations as
early as possible, as orders from the
vicinity pour in daily.

Supported by a Mermaid Chorus, a
soldiers' chorus, senators, a tavern
chorus, ladies in waiting, and an
anvil chorus, the cast is as follows:

O-Hello Shirley McPhaul.

Des A Mourner Jeanette Shaw.

Archery Tournament
To Be on May 5

Eight Best Shots Will Be
Entered in National Meet.

The annual spring archery tourna-
ment is to be held May 5, in the after-
noon on the Rebekah range. Although
two tournaments are held every year,
the silver loving cup is awarded only
in the spring.

The regular Columbia Round will be
shot. This consists of attempts at
thirty, forty, and fifty yards with
twenty-four arrows to each range.
This makes seventy-two arrows in all.

The silver loving cup was given to
the school last year by Sally Suther-
land, a former student. Sallie Peake,
'30, was first winner of the trophy.

This year for the first time Agnes
Scott will enter the national tourna-
ment, sponsored by the University of
Wisconsin; the eight best in our
tournament will be chosen to repre-
sent Agnes Scott. On May 25 their
scores will be wired to the University
for participation in the national con-
test.

Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and every-
thing that goes with them. The scen-
ario by Mary Catherine Williamson is
crammed with pretty little dances of
the milkmaids and chimney sweeps.
To be very "newspaperish," it prom-
ises to be one of the most interesting
social events of the year.

Officers of Class
Of ^Installed

Class of '33 Substitutes Cere-
mony for "Spring Raid."

Spring Raid, the traditional Soph-
omore-Freshman institution, took place
Thursday night. The raid this year
was of a type hitherto unknown on
the campus. This change in the pol-
icy of the sophomores was assigned to
the fact that "the perhaps regrettable
desire for sophistication, ever increas-
ing among college girls," makes the
former decorative type of raid "a bit
inappropriate." Also, it was pointed
out that the Freshmen have changed
a great deal since their entrance into
the college community last fall, and
have become "students fully initiated
into our college life and fully co-oper-
ating in all our activities." Appreciat-
ing this fact, the class of 1933 took
this opportunity "to bury the hatchet,
literally and figuratively," thus insti-
tuting a ceremony dedicated especial-
ly to the class of 1934.

The officers of the incoming Soph-
omore class were invested by the offi-
cers of the present Sophomore class.
Porter Cowles, president, in addressing
the incoming officers said, "On you,
the officers of the incoming Sophomore
class, rests, to a great extent, the re-
sponsibility for the amiable relations
between your class and the incoming
Freshman class. We feel that you and
your classmates are entirely capable
of maintaining the high standard of
relations which we have attempted to
attain this year. We hope that during
the remainder of your college career
your class will maintain the bonds of
fellowship first cemented by Fresh-
men caps and snivelling 'subordinat-
ism.' "

Local High School
Girls Entertained

Exhibition Athletics, Play
and Dance for Guests.

"Fun for all" was indeed an ap-
propriate slogan for Friday, April 24,
when two hundred fifty Atlanta and
Decatur high school Seniors spent the
afternoon and evening at Agnes Scott
as guests of the college community.

Nancy Simpson and Isabel Leonard
Speerman, members of the Atlanta
Alumnae Association, had arranged
every detail so that the prospective
Hottentots might glimpse a definite
cross section of life at their future
Alma Mater. Following a sightseeing
tour over the campus, the girls were
extensively entertained by the Athletic
Association. Baseball games, exhibi-
tion riding, swimming, and diving con-
tests had been arranged to fill the
afternoon program.

In the evening the visitors were
taken to the gymnasium, where Miss
Frances K. Gooch, dramatic director
of Blackfriars, presented "Love Is
Like That," a sparkling comedy in one
act. The students interpreting the
characters were: Mary Lillias Garret-
son, Lucile Woodberry, and Margaret
Ellis.

As a concluding feature to a day
of fun and frolic, the A. P. D. C. or-
chestra furnished music for ballroom
dancing.

The G. A. C. C. W,
Meets in Athens
At the University

Sarah Bowman and Susan
Glenn, Delegates From
Agnes Scott.

The Georgia Athletic Conference of
College Women, an organization which
was formed last year, and held its first
meeting at Agnes Scott, met with the
Women's Athletic Association at the
University of Georgia April the twen-
ty-fourth and twenty-fifth. Delegates
from LaGrange College, Shorter Col-
lege, Wesleyan College, Agnes Scott
College, G. S. C. W. at Valdosta, and
University of Georgia attended. Agnes
Scott was represented by Susan Glenn
and Sarah Bowman.

The delegates were welcomed by
Dr. Soule, president of the Georgia
College of Agriculture, and by Esther
Anderson, president of the University
of Georgia W. A. A. A report of the
Eastern sectional meeting of the Ath-
letic Conference of American Col-
lege Women held at Syracuse, N. Y.,
in March, was given by Ruth Norris,
the delegate from University of Geor-
gia.

The A. C. A. C. W. is a national
organization of which Agnes Scott is
a member, which emphasizes "sport
for sport's sake" rather than competi-
tion among the women's colleges of
America.

The Saturday afternoon meeting
was devoted to open discussions of
problems concerning the Athletic As-
sociations of the various colleges.
Health Week was discussed by Wes-
leyan, the Standard Point System by
Agnes Scott, Changes in Basketball
Rules by University of Georgia,
Hockey Play Day by Shorter, The
Southern Division of A. C. A. C. W.
by University of Georgia, and the
Olympic Meet by LaGrange.

The delegates were entertained dur-
ing the Conference by members of the
University of Georgia W. A. A. Fri-
day night a tap dancing contest was
held in the Physical Education build-
ing. Two former Agnes Scott girls
participated, Dot Dudley and Julia
Terrell. Saturday a luncheon was given
in Soule Hall, and the conference
closed Saturday night with a supper
hike at Camp Wilkins.

The Georgia Athletic Conference of
College Women is to be a permanent
organization with the definite purpose
of bringing college women of this
state together for interchange of ideas
on problems confronting the athletic
associations. The conference is to be
held next year at Wesleyan College in
Macon. Miss Eunice Partin of Wes-
leyan was elected conference chair-
man.

M. Loridans Speaks
To French Club

Consul and Wife Are Guests
at Dinner and Coffee.

M. Loridans, French consul in At-
lanta, and Mme. Loridans were guests
of the French club at a special meet-
ing, April 20.

M. Loridans spoke on his recent trip
to New York as southeastern repre-
sentative of the French Alliance As-
sociations of America. The rest of the
program was made up of French songs
and music typical of spring. Harriet
Smith gave a selection by Debussy,
and Eunice Lawrence sang a solo; a
group of girls from the club sang
three songs suggestive of the season.

Mr. and Mme. Loridans were enter-
tained at dinner in Rebekah Scott and
afterwards at coffee by the French
faculty.

New Members of
Hoasc Initiated

Great Originality Marks the
Entertaining Stunts.

Strange and hitherto unknown tal-
ents were revealed to a wondering
group Tuesday night when Hoysc held
its informal initiation of new members
at a banquet at the CaiUler Hotel. For
instance, who would have dreamed that
we have harbored a bucking broncho
in our midst? The only specimen of
its kind in existence! When you hear
that it is straight from Texas and a la
S. I. A. S. G., perhaps you will be
able to trace its origin. Moreover,
there were two very famous vaude-
ville stars from Japan who sang and
danced in true Oriental fashion and
teetered daintily across a tight rope
very tight, and startlingly high! And
did you know that thp heiress to all
the Smith Brothers Cough Drop mil-
lions was one of the group? Yes
you may recognize her by the strik-
ing resemblance to her father and
uncle whose pictures you must know.
The editor of this paper showed un-
usual skill in interpretive dancing,
garbed all the while in a charming
gown, fashioned by Agonistic. Per-
haps the most educational address of
the evening was that on the subject
"How a Penny Caught a Man."

The last event brought back the
spirit of ancient Rome, for Diana her-
self appeared, decked in angel robes
and garlands, and was wooed by a big,
bold Bowman. It hardly seems neces-
sary to say that the evening was both
entertaining and enlightening.

Clever Take-Offs
Given by Alumna

Impersonations Greeted
With Storm of Applause.

Old and new students were equally
charmed by the appearance of an old
favorite in chapel Saturday Augusta
Dunbar. She was to give several im-
personations of types that she met in
Europe, but the time was so short that
she was able to give only one in en-
tirety. This was a very clever take-
off on the harrassed traveller, who is
determined to stick to a strict schedule
and checks off each sight seen and
each famous place visited with a sigh
of relief. The setting was Venice, and
the two required things to be done
there were to see the pigeons and a
sunset on the Grand Canal. The tour-
ist's attempts to make the gondolier
understand her mixture of Italian and
English was comical, and her com-
placent satisfaction in being "correct
and romantic" was very good. During
the trip up the canal she aired her
handbook knowledge of Robert Brown-
ing, and was disappointed after sev-
eral efforts to make the gondolier sing,
to find that he had a squeaky voice.
The sunset never materialized and a
slight rain set in, but the tourist con-
soled herself with the idea that at
least she had seen the place where the
sunset "ought to be."

A second take-off on a French doc-
tor was begun, but there was not time
for it to be completed.

A. S. C. Play Day
To Be Held May 9
In Gymnasium

Seven High Schools Will
Participate in Many
Events Planned for Them.

"Play for play's sake" is the theme
carried out in the program given on
the campus for guests from various
high schools in Atlanta. When the
afternoon of May 9th yearly sees the
Agnes Scott hockey field alive with
baseball and track, or hears the gym
resound to thunders of applause of
volley ball or basketball, and feels a
mighty splashing in the pool, where
water polo is raging, all true Agnes
Scotters are invited to come cheer for
their guests. An exhibition of swim-
ming and archery by Agnes Scott
champions, a posture contest for one
and all, or even an old square dance,
to add a touch of grace consume the
quieter moments. To conclude the
afternoon of excitement and "riotous
living" the Agnes Scott hostesses in-
vite their young friends to bring their
lunches and join them in a picnic on
the hockey field, where the college
serves them with the "where-with-all"
to quench their thirsts. Thus "pros-
pective Hottentots" may become ac-
quainted with the life of the campus
as well as with its personnel, before
they venture to swell its numbers.

All of these activities have been
previously planned by committees for
food, play, invitations, and hostesses,
chosen, each with an Agnes Scott ad-
viser, on March 28, when all of the At-
lanta high schools now represented at
Agnes Scott sent two girls to decide
upon plans for Play Day. Ten girls
came from each of the high schools,
which include:

Decatur

North Avenue

Girls' High

Woodberry

Marietta

Covington

Washington Seminary

Prof, Dieckmann
Presents Recital

Is Assisted By Misses Wil-
liamson and Chapman,

Saturday afternoon, April 26, at
4:30 Mr. Dieckmann and some of his
most accomplished students gave a re-
cital in the chapel. Mr. Dieckmann
opened the program with "Tocata, G
major," by DuBois. The next selec-
tion was a piano number, "LeSoir,"
Op. 29, No. 2, by Chaminade, which
was played by Miss Mary Catherine
Williamson and accompanied by Mr.
Dickmann on the organ. Miss Chap-
man of the Ponce de Leon Baptist
choir then sang "II est Doux" from
"Herodiade," by Massenet. The fourth
number on the program was a group
of three lovely piano solos played by
Miss Williamson. After this Miss
Chapman sang "I Know," by Gil-
bert Strauss, "Hills of Home," by
Faust, and "Come to the Garden,
Love," by Mary Turner Saltan. The
magnificent First Movement of Con-
certo, op. 54, by Schumann, which
Miss Williamson played on the piano,
accompanied by Mr. Dieckmann on
the organ, concluded a program skill-
fully selected and presented.

EDITORIALS

The most important day of entertainment in the Agnes Scott
calendar is to be celebrated on Saturday. May Day and Senior
Opera are events which are attended by a great many out-of-town,
as well as Atlanta and Decatur, guests and the impression that is
made on these occasions is important to the college. These presen-
tations represent the best that Agnes Scott has to offer in these
lines of entertainment and infinite patience and hard labor have
been put into making them the splendid successes that they always
are. They deserve all the support that we can give them and there
is no doubt that they will give the greatest satisfaction they al-
ways have !

Agnes Scott news, this semester, has been full of accounts of
faculty achievement. One honor after another has been bestowed
upon professors here and it is fitting that we realize how signifi-
cant these honors are in reaped to the reputation of the college.
The success which they have attained in many fields reflects glory
not only on themselves and the institutions at which they studied
hut also upon Agnes Scott. We appreciate this fact and feel that
others have only recognized what we already knew the excep-
tional ability and intellectuality which characterizes Agnes Scott
professors,

The Lecture Association, along with the other organizations
on th6 campus, is electing officers and appointing representatives
for the coming year. As the officers and representatives of the
Association for 1930-31 retire, it is fitting that a final word be
said concerning their splendid work and a final tribute paid to
the excellent judgment in selection which they have shown. \\Y
believe that never in the history of the college has a more popu-
lar or a more instruct tve program of lectures been presented: a
program which included such names as Signor Averardi, the Prin-
cess Her Ling, and Commander Ryrcl.

Outside Work Hinders Undergraduate
Little

Minneapolis, Minn. "Yes," was the
answer Dr. J. G. Umstattd, University
of Minnesota, made after a thorough
study of the question; it is possible
for a student to clerk, wait on tables,
mind babies or in any way to work his
way through college and still get as
much out of it as the one whose bills
are paid by his father.

Dr. Umstattd states that from the
results of his survey he finds that the
question of what a boy will get out of
his schooling is entirely up to the boy
and whether he pays his own way or
not has nothing to do with the ma-
terial results that he will derive.

In his study, Dr. Umstattd found
that students of a given intelligence
make approximately the same marks
regardless of whether engaged in out-
side work or not. Going into the ques-
tion of extra-curricular activities it
was found that the more a Freshman
earned the more he participated in
outside activities such as the Y. M.
C. A., literary societies, student gov-
ernment and religious work. Senior
earners were found to hold as many
campus offices as non-earners and it
was found that most of these students
worked so that they would be able to
participate in other activities.

When asked what the disadvantages
of working while in college were most
of the workers replied "none." Rather
than a disadvantage, they maintained
that they counted it an advantage.
Very few admitted that it was a cur-
tailment of their social activities, but
the majority said it was the only
means by which they would be able to
enter anv social life at all.

Women Win Collegiate Good Sleep
Contest

Hamilton, N. Y. Girls are far bet-
ter sleepers than men, according to
Dr. Donald Laird, "expert" on the sub-
ject of sleep and professor of psy-
chology at Colgate University, where
a recent sleep survey was held.

An intercollegiate good sleep con-
test was held between the men at Col-
gate and the women at Skidmore col-
lege.

Resulting figures showed that girls
have less trouble going to sleep, wake
up fewer times during the night, are
less restless, and have fewer dreams.

In addition, fewer girls have to be
called twice in the morning and in
general feel more peppy and less
grouchy and are less foggy mentally
in the morning.

Prof. Laird attributes this to the
theory that members of the feminine
sex are neither as active physically or
mentally as men.

"Only four hours may be sufficient
to recuperate physically," he main-
tains, "but mentally we need eight
hours more to be completely rested."

Feature

A presentable appearance and the
ability to participate in intelligent con-
versation are two of the most valuable
assets that an applicant for a teach-
ing position can have, Dr. C. Edward
Jones, superintendent of the Albany,
N. Y., school system, told the mem-
bers of Kappa Phi Kappa, national
honorary educational fraternity.

Seniors Partial to Phi P>eta Kappa Key

The results of a Senior Question-
naire which was held sometime ago
are now being made known. They
show the attitude of the part of the
student body which has been here the
longest, to outside activities. R. O. T.
C, compulsory courses, etc.

The results of the question, "Which
extra-curricular activity holds your
chief interest?" are: athletics, 29; re-
ligious, 6; publications, 4; literary so-
cieties, 3; bulling, 2; honorary fra-
ternities, 2; music, 2; sleeping, 2; de-
bating, 1; fraternity (social), 1; radio,
1. and rifle team, L

The next question has to do with
that much discussed problem: "Do you
consider Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron
Delta Kappa, or Varsity 'D' the most
valuable?" Forty-four gave first place
to Phi Beta Kappa, 18 gave first place
to Omicron Delta Kappa, and 3 con-
sidered the Varsity "D" most valuable.

Every year since 1917, the presenta-
tion of the Seniorpolitan Opera Com-
pany has climaxed the spring musical
festivities of Atlanta and vicinity. The
performances have rivalled those of
the Metropolitan Opera Co. in beauti-
ful voices, splendid choruses, magnifi-
cent costumes, and modishly and ar-
tistically gowned audiences. But this
year the Metropolitan has abandoned
its usual Atlanta season, and the
Seniorpolitan Opera Co. reigns su-
preme in the music world of the city.
We wonder if the Metropolitan humb-
ly retired from this vicinity in favor
of a company which it feared would
soon outshine it. Be it as it may,
opera goers will don their gorgeous
raiment exclusively for the Senior-
politan Opera Company's perform-
ance on May 2.

The class of 1917 instituted the
custom of the presentation of an orig-
inal comic opera by the senior class
on the night following the May Day
presentation. The cause for the estab-
lishment of this custom, which has be-
come traditional, was the eternal need
of the Seniors for money to defray
their expenses. The first Senior Opera
was "Madame Buttermilk." Since then
many melodramatic, blood-curdling
operas have been given, much to the
delight of the audiences, who have
reserved their "boxes" long ahead of
time, and have eagerly anticipated the
performances. In 1918 and 1919,
"The Frying Dutchman" and "Car
Men" were produced, while in the fol-
lowing years "Cavalier of the Rusty
Can" and "Sampson and the Liar"
were presented. In 1920, the Seniors
presented an amusing take off entitled
"William Fell," while the class of
1921 rivaled their performance with
"Lucia the Lawn Mower." "Dora's
Good Enough" followed the next year.

The more recent operas have been
quite as clever and fascinating as the
earlier ones. The Senior classes of
'25 and '26 presented respectively
'Tan Trousers" and "Rend A Letter."
"Polly's Archie," "Laugh, Ricana,"
and "Ah Heed Her" were the offer-
ings of the following years. Last
year the comic opera was "111 Flows
the Gore," and this year the Senior-
politan Opera Co. will present
"O-Hello."

The college community awaits with
eager anticipation the presentation of
the Seniorpolitan Opera Co. on May
2. Having been deprived of the usual
season of grand opera, we shall thrill
more than ever to the exquisite quality
of the leads, the unequaled harmony
of the choruses, and the superb drama
of this comic opera, "O-Hello." All
hail to May 2 and "O-Hello"!

Y. W. News

Blue Ridge

Between June 6 and 15 the annual
V. W. C. A. conference for the South
will be held at Blue Ridge. This con-
ference is not only for those who are
on Y. W. Cabinets or who are especial-
ly interested in Y. W. work, but for
anyone who would care to attend.
Various discussion groups are conduct-
ed which would be helpful to anyone.

Blue Ridge is situated in the moun-
tains of North Carolina near Ashe-
ville; the surrounding country is
beautiful. The conference grounds
themselves are only a few miles from
Black Mountain. Every afternoon is
free, and there is plenty of time for
various sports and interesting trips.

The actual expenses for the eight
days are thirty-three dollars and
sixty-five cents. Round trip tickets
from any point to Black Mountain are
a one way fare plus one dollar.

To the question, "For which one would
you work the hardest if starting
over?" 42 named Phi Beta Kappa, 13
named Omicron Delta Kappa, and 7
named Varsity "D." While the results
of this may be rather surprising, still
they show that Phi Beta Kappa is
recognized as the supreme achievement
of four years of study. Also as noted
in the second question, if the four
years could be begun again, college
(Continued on page 4)

For the past two Sundays Y. W.
vespers have been held outdoors in
the quadrangle behind Main. The serv-
ices have been unusually effective, and
the outdoor setting has lent a great
deal to the meaning of the talks.

The vesper services have been con-
ducted in the usual way with student
leaders and speakers. On April 19.
Virginia Gray talked on the revela-
tion of God through nature, and on
April 26, Maude Armstrong talked on
stars. Are we messengers of God
giving light, or are we merely receiv-
ing it from others ?

The Y. W. Sunday night services
will probably be held outdoors from
now until the close of school.

The new Y. W. Cabinet has begun
work for the coming year. Margaret
Bell has taken charge of the finance
committee. All the Y. W. collectors are
at work, asking people to pay up on
their Y. W. pledges; it is hoped that
all the money will soon be turned in.

Alumnae News

Miss Almon, a former teacher at
Agnes Scott, will be a visitor in the

Dear old pal of my educational days,
or what-have-you,

What with most of those term
papers off, we're all heaving huge and
repeated sighs of relief and settling-
down for a much needed rest until
exams come loping along. Think of it!
Time is certainly flying! May Day
and Senior Opera Saturday! Whoop,
can't wait! However, it is not a little
disheartening to hear that Miss
Haynes and Ruth Green listened for a
goodly space the other night to what
they believed was Senior Opera prac-
tise only to come to the sudden and
disconcerting realization that they'd
been reveling in the mellow warble of
a rooster! And speaking of warbling,
we seem to be about to annex a fine
selection of songsters next year, judg-
ing from the musical selections hand-
ed out by the high school hopefuls the
other night at dinner. So we're the
one they care for! That's funny; do
you know, I'd half suspected it all
along. It was hardly a surprise. t

By the way, you can just bet those
sophomores were surprised the other
night after their safe and sane, if
sissy raid, to find Peggy White with
a front tooth missing! It was quite
upsetting, unti 1 Peggy explained that
she'd taken it out for safe-keeping!
I've been scared to look at her ever
since, for fear she'll appear minus a
leg or arm or come apart before my
very eyes. It's the same way when

Jule Bethea just will go out with that
wrestling champion. I'm always un-
certain as to whether she'll be all
there next time I see her. You never
can tell about these wrestlers. How-
ever, Jule is a swell match for him;
that gal can take care of herself if
anybody can.

Such commotion as has been caused
lately around this place, all on account
of Tabby. It seems that being the
seventh daughter of a seventh daugh-
ter, or something equally impressive,
she can tell your fortune even better
than "your weight your fortune: lc."
The ocean voyages and dark young
men she's predicting would make a
Betty W T ales book seem lifeless. Just
for the joy of the thing, you ought
to go and consult her about your life
problems. And the thing of it is
you'll believe her! Why she can tell
you everything from what kind of to-
bacco He smokes to which side he
parts his hair on!

And of course, this won't be com-
plete without the latest bulletin on Dr.
Davidson. My dear, do you know that
he confided to Page the other day that
he's planning to grow a beard to mar
his too-handsome visage so that the
girls won't be so nuts over him! That
leaves me speechless!

Aggie.

"Oh where are you going my pretty
maid ?"

"I'm going in town to a dance," she
said.

And how true that is of quite a lot
of the pretty maids from dear old A.
S. C. this week-end. We find them
traipsing in to dozens of different
kinds of dances, from tea to full-fledg-
ed ones.

And dances aren't the only things
affording the Hottentots recreation.
There are weddings and week-end
trips and visitors, too, to give them
their share of society. We never find
the Scotters without something to do.

Miss Alleah Almon, of Toronto,
Canada, a member of the French and
German departments at the Agnes
Scott Academy, will be a guest at the
Alumnae House for the next week. It
is interesting to know that she has
lived abroad many years, especially in
Germany and Mexico.

While here, Miss Almon will be the
recipient of many social courtesies. On
April 25, she was honored with a
luncheon at the Alumnae House, given
by Miss Lillian Smith.

THE AGONISTIC

Seniors Beat Juniors

Friday afternoon, playing before a
large group of spectators, the Seniors
defeated the Juniors by an overwhelm-
ing score of 12-2, to win the baseball
championship of the year.

The Juniors, handicapped by the
lack of one player, seemed unable, in
the first two innings, to control their
batting and to check the power of
the Seniors. However, in the third
inning the team rallied and put out the
first three Senior batters :n quick suc-
cession.

May Schlich and Kitty Fur:.ie both
did some very good catching, while
Mildred McCalip displayed an excel-
lent brand of pitching.

Final Athletics

The Athletic Association is bringing
to a close the year's activities with a
round of athletic and social events.
The season's sports, baseball, track,
archery, riding, and tennis are ending
with a series of tournaments and
meets. The old Athletic Association
Board is turning to the new board
to carry on the work of this year and
of the coming seasons.

The calendar for the closing events

is:

April 30 Ten-mile hike.

May 1 May Day.

May 5 Archery Tournament.

May 6 Track meet.

May 9 Play Day.

May 11 Old board's entertainment
of new board at camp.

May 12 Athletic banquet. Installa-
tion of new board. Awards.

The management of a local theater
at Cornell permits the students to act
"collegiate" during the second show
Saturday evenings, but demands good
behavior the rest of the week. It must
be boring to have to act natural six
days out of each week.

Sophs Defeat Frosh

In the final baseball game of the
year, the Freshmen lost to the Soph-
omores by a score of 6-2.

The game was one of the most in-
teresting of the season, and both teams
played good baseball. The outstand-
ing feature of the game was a double
play made by the Freshmen in the
first inning. The Sophomores made
five runs in the first inning; but after
that the Freshmen tightened up on
their game and held the Sophomores to
one additional run. The Freshmen
made both their runs in the first in-
ning.

Old English May
Day Meets With
Unusual Success

May Court One of the Most
Attractive in the History
of the College.

In a mood as gay as the friars and
frankeleyns of old England, students
and many visitors gathered on the
Agnes Scott campus Saturday, May 2,
to witness the presentation of "Auburn
Dell," a pageant which celebrated the
annual May Day. With the entrance
of the peasants the May Day dell
seemed transformed into a festive
English setting.

The first episode, "The May Morn-
ing," opened with the approach of a
group of peasants, who, singing and
laughing to express their joy in living,
strolled onto the scene and joined in
a typical country dance. Among their
number were: young girls who gather-
ed green boughs and spring flowers
and decorated the throne, which stood
ready for the reception of the May
Queen; chimney sweeps with faces
blackened and sooty from their dirty
winter tasks, who entered into the
gaiety, realizing that May Day has
brought an end to their work of put-
ting out fires; milk-maids whose
empty pails revealed that they have
abandoned work to celebrate. At the
approach of the woodsmen the entire
company scattered to the woods in
search of a tree to be used for the
May Pole.

The return of the villagers marked
the beginning of the second episode,
"The Contest on the Green." This
time they brought not only the dec-
orated May Pole, but escorted their
beautiful queen, robed in shimmering
white, who, accompanied by ten lovely
maids, regally took her place on the
throne to rule the festivities. While
three jesters and the hobby horse were
entertaining with ridiculous antics,
the merrie men, headed by the gallant
Robin Hood and fair Maid Marian, ap-
peared. At a signal from the queen
the archery tournament began, each
effort being received with loud ap-
plause by the enthusiastic yeomen. At
its conclusion, Will Scarlet, accompan-
ied by the Merrie Men, sang a lusty
old English ballad "A Somersetshire
Hunting Song." In rapid succession
came the performance of the Morris
dancers in their picturesque green
suits and waving white handkerchiefs,
the effective rounds of the village
maidens dressed in billowing skirts of
blue and pink, and the execution of
the Flamborough Sword Dance, which
included unique tricks with the swords.
At this point, from the hands of the
queen herself, Robin Hood received
the trophy of the first prize in the
archery contest, a red feather, which
he presented to Maid Marian who
joined him in a gavotte. The day
reached its climax in the raising of
the May Pole and the dance of the
maidens around it.

The recessional began, the queen
and her court leading the -procession
and the others falling in behind un-
til all passed from view among the
green foliage of the woods.

PROMINENT GUESTS HERE

Agnes Scott had several distinguish-
ed visitors last week. Among them
were Mrs. Harbison, Dr. Lingle, Dr.
Anderson, Dr. Sweets, Dr. McCallie,
and Mr. Alfred Mason. They attend-
ed the conference of the Southern
Presbyterians which was held in At-
lanta, April 28-30, and most of them
were present at dinner out here Wed-
nesday evening. All of these visitors
are well-known to the college com-
munity; most of them are relatives of
some of our students. Dr. Anderson
made a series of interesting talks this
year.

tion to Phases of Work.

Bringing to a close its program of

tion for the year and to get the re-
action of the students to different

aim of the Athletic Association to have
each Hottentot an active and interest-
ed member and to maintain a social

Hampden-Sydney
Wins Over A. S.
In Final Debate

Virginia College Upholds
Negative of Censorship
Abolishment Question.

The second intercollegiate debate of
the year was held Tuesday night, April
28, at 8:30 in the chapel. The Agnes
Scott debaters, Nelle Brown and Anne
Hopkins, upheld the affirmative side
of the question, Resolved: "That legal
censorship should be abolished." The
Hampden-Sydney team, composed of
Plummer Jones and Macon Reid, sup-
ported the negative. Mr. Charles D.
McKinney, of Decatur, Hampden-
Sydney alumnus, presided.

The affirmative argument was de-
veloped around two points: legal cen-
sorship is a hindrance to creative art;
legal censorship is a bar to political
progress. On the other hand, the
negative contended that censorship is
sound in principle, a sound method of
social control, useful, and logical. Cen-
sorship, it was argued, protected the
development of immature minds; it
has proved useful in times of war;
and the government must assume re-
sponsibility as no one else can, and if
any other agency could, it is doubted
if it would.

The main speeches were followed by
four rebuttals, all of which showed
skill in refutation. After the refuta-
tion the judges rendered a two-to-one
decision in favor of the negative.

The debate was followed by a recep-
tion for the visiting debaters, given
by the members of Pi Alpha Phi.

Y. W. Blue Ridge
Program In Chape!

Announcement is in Form of
a Very Entertaining Skit.

The annual Y. W. C. A. Blue Ridge
program was presented in chapel on
Tuesday, April 28, at which time a skit
written by a Brenau girl and depict-
ing the benefits of Blue Ridge was en-
acted by members of the Freshman
Class. The skit revealed a bride and
groom-to-be impatiently waiting for a
train which would carry them far
from the eyes of hard-hearted parents.
However, while the young couple were
discussing their course of action, a
group of the bride-to-be's friends ap-
peared on the scene en route for Blue
Ridge. That changed matters, for
the young lady insisted on accompany-
ing them to the great chagrin of her
fiance, who finally recovered at the
arrival of some of his chums also en
route for Blue Ridge. He joined their
party, and everything ended quite as
it should. The role of Bobbie, the
hero, was taken by Martha Skeen;
that of Dot, the heroine, by Dorothy
Cassel. The rest of the cast included
Betty Harbison, Marty Friend, Flor-
ence Mangis, and Chub Hickson, girls;
Virginia Tillitson, Margaret Massie,
Flora Young, and Betty Kump, boys.

Following the skit, Chopin Hudson,
Margaret Bell, and Weesa Chandler
made brief talks on different phases of
Blue Ridge, explaining its purpose and
advantages.

Any who are interested in going to
Blue Ridge this summer may secure
further information from Chopin Hud-
son.

Freshman Class Is
Entertained At Tea

Faculty Advisers Are Host-
esses to Advisees.

The Freshman class was de-
lightfully entertained by the faculty
at tea, Tuesday, May 5, at 5 o'clock.
This last meeting of Freshmen and ad-
visits was in Day Student Room, which
provided a beautiful setting for after-
noon tea. Miss Alexander, chairman
of the Committee on Admissions, and
Miss Christie, associate member,
with others of the faculty were
in the receiving line. Tea was
served at attractively decorated tables
by members of Hoasc. A large num-
ber of Freshmen called during the
hour.

The present plan of Freshman facul-
ty advisers has been in use only a
year. It is felt that it has been most
successful in making for a better un-
derstanding between faculty members
and new members.

Opera "O-Hello"
A Spectacular
Presentation

Boxes Filled With Numer-
ous Distinguished and
Stylishly Dressed Visitors.

For another year the historic night
of May Day has been crowned with a
highly amusing Senior Opera. May
2, 1931, the class of '31 presented with
marked success their original and re-
markable "O-Hello." After the house
was packed, the box holders arrived.
Old and young, large and small occu-
pied front seats. They wore every-
thing from gay ninety models to fry-
ing pans. Need we mention the amuse-
ment they afforded the others or the
commotion caused by the appearance
of the Misses Haynes and Sinclair?
Adding to the din of the general hub-
bub, was the swarthy skinned, sheet-
shrouded Arab orchestra. What ex-
citement they caused! And could they
play and sing? One could even recog-
nize the "Soldiers Chorus," to say
nothing of "Smile, darn you, smile."

As for the opera itself. Well nothing
short of seeing the performance itself
can do it justice. Oh, how O-Hello
could sing! And when he warbled
with Des a Mourner, well, it was just
too wonderful. The mermaid chorus
was the sensation of the year. Flap
my fins! It was good. The under-
takers' chorus at the end was _another
good one.

The cast was as follows:

O-Hello, Moorish General Shirley
McPhaul.

Andrew Eggsneak, his valet Clara
Knox Nunnally.

I'm Illier, first lady-in-waiting to
Des' a Mourner Laura Brown.

Des' a Mourner, daughter to Bananio
Jeanette Shaw.

Chicago, villainous soldier Mildred
McCalip.

Porto Rico, rejected suitor of Des'
a Mourner Alma Fraser Howerton.

A Wench Eunice Lawrence.

Bananio, a Venetian Senator Mary
Catherine Williamson.

Cap-'n'-Gown, Duke of Venice
Marguerite Gerard.

Cash I Owe, a lovely boy Jean
Grey.

Polly, a bar maid Julia Thompson.

Molly, ditto Elise Jones.

Spanka, just a girl that men for-
get Myra Jervey.

Chopin Hudson was the director of
the company, while her co-workers
were: Elmore Bellingrath and Elise
Jones, directors of ballet; Johnnie
Turner, pianist, and Kitty Purdie, or-
chestra conductor. The writing com-
mittee was: Ellene Winn, chairman;
Chopin Hudson, Myra Jervey, and
Shirley McPhaul. The costume com-
mittee was: Elizabeth Woolfolk, Myra
Jervey, and Helen Duke. Gertrude
Willoughby was the stage manager,
Helen Friedman, scenery manager,
and Carolyn Heyman, publicity man-
ager; Julia Thompson had charge of
the libretto.

MR. NEWTON Y. W. SPEAKER

The vesper speaker for last Sunday
night was Mr. Newton from Druid
Hills Baptist Church. His sub-
ject was "The Challenge of Christ to
the Youth of Today," which he de-
veloped in a very interesting manner.
The only way for us to be happy, he
said, is to deny ourselves daily for
Christ. He illustrated his point with
a very amusing but impressive story
about his college days, when his room-

FOR SENIORS

In less than four weeks, you, the class of 1931, will have
filed up onto the gymnasium stage, received your diplomas, been
hooded and filed out to conquer the world, so to speak. There
is little need in our telling you what has been told so often, that
disappointments and hardships of various kinds lie before you.
Life won't be conquered or even approached without a struggle
and you may come to the place some day when you will cry out.

"I cannot find my way: there is no star
In all the shrouded heavens anywhere."

This, however, will pass and if you "follow the light no matter
wherr it may lead you; follow it in spite of the fact that the
Wisdom of material experience may believe you a fool," you will
find that, "in so doing lies the way of wisdom and the way of
virtue; develop your own potentialities to the fullest, no matter
w hat they may be, for in so doing you are fulfilling your destiny."
And then there will come a time when you will be able to sincerely
say with old Frosted Moses, " Tisn't life that matters but the
Courage yer bring to it."

APPRECIATION

When the Athletic Association made the plans for their work
for the year lOoO-Ml, one of the phases of their activity which they
determined to emphasize was the social. Out of this determination
grew what we know now as the A. P. D. C. Orchestra! Fostered
and sponsored by the Athletic Association, composed of the best
musicians in the college and directed by the very best talent, it has
achieved a notable success.

The orchestra has co-operated in a splendid way with the
other organizations on the campus as well as in their own especial
field of Wednesday night dances. The members have given untir-
ing service on all occasions at which their assistance has been re-
quested. The music has not been makeshift. It has been unusual-
ly good for an amateur orchestra and they have spent much time
learning new numbers for special occasions and increasing their
general repertoire. We feel the keenest sort of appreciation for
the service of this group of girls, who have filled so effectively a
denite need in our campus life and carried out their motto so
splendidly: Alive. Progressive, Democratic, and Cooperative!

Agnes Scott is always interested in
the achievements of its alumnae, and
the Agonistic bscomes particularly in-
terested when the alumna in question
excels in the field of journalism. So
it is that the Agonistic and Agnes
Scott in general takes pardonable
pride in the journalistic achievements
of Mary Knight, '22, who has become
staff correspondent and fashion fea-
ture writer for the United Press in
Paris. Mary was very prominent
while here on the campus, having been
president of her class, president of
Blackfriars, and May Qu3en her Sen-
ior year. Her newspaper career has
been short, but brilliant. She has in-
terviewed some of the most famous
people in Europe, and now has gra-
ciously consented to be interviewed
herself. Upon the request of a mem-
ber of the Agonistic staff she has writ-
ten the following very clever account
of one of her famous interviews:

Whatever I can do for you and The
Agonistic in the way of an interview
will be a pleasure, but what to say is
the item of importance. Let me see.
I believe I'll write down a few names
at random from my interview book
and wager a small bet with myself as
to which one would poll the highest
vote in a popularity contest with
Agonistic readers. Here they are:

The Princess Aspasia of Greece,
whose husband, the late King Alex-
ander, was killed by poison from a
monkey bite.

Antonio Bustament, Cuban Judge at
Geneva and The Hague World Courts.

The Countess de Chambrun, who is
Clara Longworth, sister of the late
Nicholas Longworth.

Feodore Chaliapine, Russian basso.

Maurice Chevalier.

Foujita, the Japanese artist.

Mary Garden, grand opera prima
donna.

How good is my guess that the
Frenchman wins? Because I have
been asked several times already HOW
I got to see him, and what he is like
close up, I'll choose him anyway for
our story.

By telephone from my office I had
been granted an interview about ten
o'clock before he went on the stage at
the Theatre Chatelet of a certain Sat-
urday evening during Chevalier week
in Paris. Upon arriving I sent my
card back stage requesting that the
exact time of my interview be indicat-
ed so there would be no question about
my not being there on the dot. The
answer that came back was, "It will
be impossible for you to see Monsieur
Chevalier." My ire rcse. Coupled
with righteous indignation, it pushed
me right out of my seat and stood me
on my feet. It was not quite nine
thirty and the show had been going
on about an hour. I tipped an attend-
ant five francs, 20 cents, to show me
the way to the stage door. He finally
did, seeing that I didn't fumble in my
purse for an extra franc cr two. He
conducted me personally outside the
theatre, around a dark corner and
down a peculiar alley savoring of gar-
lic, onions and sour ale. He pushed
open a greasy door almost in the face
of the custodian of the gate just in-
side, whose countenance was thunder-
ous enough to bring on a hailstorm
any minute. Five francs worked again
and he stood aside to let me pass. The
door slammed shut behind me and,
unaccustomed as I am to stage doors,
I tried to preserve an outward calm
that would belie inner unrest. One or
two queer looking people lolling
around leered at me and made mum-
bled remarks. I paid no attention and
couldn't understand what they said
anyway, and searched avidly for a
staircase leading upwards out of the
clutter of scenery and artificial pots
and boxes of artificial flowers I was
at the moment the center of. Eureka!
There it was, bless its heart, way over
in a corner across the room. Another
tip removed the huge human obstacle
that barred my flight, and I kept
going until I heard noises that sound-
ed like voices and judged that I had
reached the dressing room floor. At
the next landing I met a door that
was marked. "Etoile," and below, "De-
fense d'entrer." Which means, "Star,"
and "Keep Out This Means You," all
in two words. It was open, however,

When did Caesar enter Gaul? You
may be a major in history and not
know the answer to that question, and
be excused, but you certainly ought
not to be a student at Agnes Scott
and not be familiar with the following
set of rules. For these rules are most
assuredly not ancient history. They
were passed by the students of afore-
mentioned college on the fifth day of
March nineteen hundred thirty!

(1) All students shall be responsible
for library rules. Ignorance is no ex-
cuse.

(2) Breaking of library rules shall
incur a penalty of exclusion from the
library, the length of time to be de-
termined by the librarian. A list of
those excluded shall be posted.

(3) Books shall not be taken from
the library by day students for over-
night before 5 o'clock.

(4) When there are only a few
copies of reserve books to be used by
a large class, day students shall not
take the books out for overnight be-
fore 9 o'clock.

(5) The green cards of books on
reserve in special rooms shall be left
at the main desk when taken out over-
night or over the week-end.

(6) Books taken out of their regu-
lar places must be returned and not
left on the tables.

(7) Reserve books must be used in
the library except overnight and
week-ends.

And remember the green cards
were orginally intended for the use
of the librarian in keeping records of
library books and not for schoolgirls
to put away "among their souvenirs"!

just wide enough for about 125 pounds
of humanity, if not too rounded, to
scrape through without pushing it
open further and causing a possible,
and highly probable creaking of the
hinges.

I took a chance and slid my 115
through the crack, drew a good breath,
and waited. There was no one in
sight. I was in a pretty little square
room with a few pieces of chintz cov-
ered furniture. It opened onto an-
other room with French doors behind
which I hoped Brother Chevalier was
grooming his stage feathers for his
act. I drew nigh, and knocked with
a tremulous knuckle. ("Steady now
Don't jumble your words. Say what
you have to say and then get out of
the way," said a still, small voice I
recognized as mine from inner circles.)
A man came forward but he was not
THE man, and I expected to be thrown
out for being in a gentleman's dress-
ing room uninvited, and to be thrown
out without ceremony which made me
all the more determined to stay. Then
the atmosphere got kind of slate color-
ed and I heard a girl's voice saying a
number of things about why she was
there and why she was going to stay
there until a certain actor with whom
she had already had an interview ar-
rived, and then the conversation went
on in a man's voice explaining that it
really wouldn't do any good to wait be-
cause it was so late and almost time
for the performance and he would have
to dress hurriedly for his act. Then
consciousness returned and something
drew my attention toward the door
behind me. It might have been a foot-

0, Hello!

Well, Giddy, May Day and Senior
Opera are gathered unto their fathers
(the rest of the old traditions), and
we're heading for exams, tra-la! This
time two weeks from now, the worst
will have come. Why, it doesn't sesm
a minute since Spring Holidays! But
we wouldn't raise a howl over the
shortness of time. None of us is han-
kering to spend the rest of her days
away from home. Oh, no, it really isn't
so bad, especially when we have dis-
tinguished visitors, such as the Hamp-
den-Sydney debating team, in our
midst. Kitty Woltz certainly is no dub
when the male of the species is con-
cerned, i. e., inasmuch as, to-wit, she
had one of them the cutest one
trotting around in her train the entire
time; and everywhere that Kitty went
why, he even braved the terrors
of Rebekah dining room Wednesday
night! I'd call it love at first sight,
even if you do insist that it's tuna
fish.

Giddy, it's a source of great alarm
to me the way these clubs are getting
so very hard-boiled around here.
Where are the poets of next year?
Dun't esk there ain't none. Not a
soul got into Poetry Club this time
not even a half-sole. Which all goes
to prove how very prosaic the old
life is.

And another thing, I guess you'll ad-
mit that being mathematically minded
has its rewards! Did you hear about

Dr. Robinson's tea for his hopeless
wenches? Now let me see: nine cakes,
plus four cups of tea, multiplied by
cosine of twenty-three mints equals the
average amount consumed by the tea
guests. What price arithmetic. Maybe
the Doctor was trying to atone for the
time he got so interested in the dog
fight he forgot to umpire the base-
ball game.

Shed a tear for poor Lucille Wood-
bury, her true love's Pa has forbidden
him to have any more dates with her!
Ach! Ach! Don't get wrought up
you're being misled. It seems that
the dear boy hasn't er-a-hm cover-
ed himself with glory as regards chem-
istry lately, and got stepped on by the
paternal hoof. Still, I don't see her
wasting away, what an elopement just

That, sez I, with a simper.

him. (Impossible). It is thought that
his death came as an effect of a thor-
oughly chapped skin, received while

during the last cold snap.

step I heard, or the thump that a heart
makes in an ear when it is being
swallowed. I turned and walked to-
ward the opening through which I had
slid a few moments before and just
escaped colliding with Mr. Maurice
Chevalier, in person. We exchanged
the customary "Pardon" and then,
quite as if I were performing for a
Blackfriar tryout, I said my lines and
waited. He smiled and patted me on
the shoulder. He didn't seem hurried,
knowing that he had been placed late
on the bill to keep the audience
through the rest of the show and that
it would wait indefinitely. He an-
swered my questions, partly in French
and partly in English, shook hands
three times and patted me on the
shoulder again and said, "How in the
Devil did you get here?"

"I don't know. I'm just here," I
managed. "And now I'll be going.
Thank you very much. Good bye. I'll
be out front listening for 'Living in
the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight,
Having a Wonderful Time.' "

"You'll get it," he replied, as I was
partway down the stairs, stumbling
over my own feet. I might very easily
have taken a short cut across the
stage, footlights and all, and never
have noticed, but I didn't, fortunately.
I got out somehow and the beads of
perspiration that dotted my fevered
brow froze when I hit the icy black
night. I found a telephone, conveyed

my information to the man on the
desk at the office, and returned to my
three friends in the second balcony
whose faces were three well defined
question marks. I slid into my seat,
a little weak and a great deal thank-
ful that it was over. He sang my
song, with five or six others that
brought deafening applause. Then the
show was over. People were buying
records and sheet music, getting in
taxies and trickling out of the old
French theatre in all directions.

Back stage, I knew the famous star
was again a little greyish looking
wtihout his make-up. His smile would
not be so spontaneous. His shoulders
would droop again, and "tired" was
the word that would slip over him
like a loose baggy coat as it had when
I had seen him a few minutes before.
It was great to be home, he had said.
My France. My Paris. But he loved
New York, and he wanted to get back
again to the bright lights of Holly-
wood. . . .

The centipede is not a myth
Lord love me

She's quite a bird to reckon with
And lives above me.

Each night at two, prepared to snooze
off

But not before

She throws her hundred boots and

shoes off
Upon the floor.

Whereat to save her odd ten thousand
toes

From cold and all

She puts on mules and does "mys-
terious mose"
All down the hall.

And when the centipede is set for bed,
With kicks phenomenable,
She rids herself of mules. Above my
head

The din's abominable.

Vassar Miscellany News.

Another classic student-prof tale has
gone down in history. This time it was
a blind student and a biology in-
structor at Yale who furnished the
story. The student tapped off his yes-
no answers to weekly true-false tests
on a portable typewriter, and the
other members of the class listened
for the clicks and marked their papers
acordingly. The instructor, amazed at
the sudden high average of his class,
listened too, and then told the blind
student to reverse his replies. There
were disastrous results. Eventually a
mutual understanding was reached
and the instructor averaged the two
sets of grades to decide the monthly
marks of his sheepish students.

Dr. G. W. McCastline, medical offi-
cer of Coumbia university, states that
the typical Columbia freshman does
not smoke; drinks two or more glasses

as a sport. It is our belief that the
typical medical officer of Columbia
university is somewhat of a credulous
soul. The Mercer Cluster.

A. P. D. C. Theme
Of A. A. Banquet

Work Is Turned Over to the
Board Selected for 1931-32.

The annual Athletic Banquet was
held in Rebekah dining hall, Tuesday
night, May 12.

At this banquet the new board was
recognized by the old Athletic Board
who kept the audience from being
"bored" with after dinner speeches of
recognition by simply turning over
the management of their sports by
presenting the weapons of their activ-
ity. Midred McCalip graciously wel-
comed the new president, Sarah Bow-
man, who replied with a short speech.

The idea for the program was taken
from the A. P. D. C. (Active Progres-
sive, Democratic, Cooperative), motto
for the orchestra. This same general
theme has been carried out previously
this year in both Health Week and
Athletic Rally.

The decorations were made attract-
ive by the use of trophies and sports
equipment.

Those entertained as honor guests
were Miss Harris, of Memphis, Tenn.;
Miss Blanche Miller, the Gym Depart-
ment, and Dr. McCain.

Coffee was served after dinner in
the Rebekah lobby.

Plans for commencement 1931 have
been completed. Two eminent min-
isters are to be featured on the pro-
gram. Dr. W. E. Hill, father of Sarah
Hill, and pastor of the Second Presby-
terian Church, of Richmond, Va., will

Hill was formerly pastor of the West
End Presbyterian Church, Atlanta.

Dr. J. R. Cunningham, who is com-
pleting his first years as president of
the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary,
will make the graduation address. Dr.
Cunningham is a brilliant and inter-
esting speaker. Commencement plans
are as follows:

Thursday, May 28, a meeting of the
Alumnae Council to consider plans for
the real meeting on May 30.

Friday, May 29, the annual meeting
of the Board of Trustees to decide
whether or not it will be possible to
go ahead with the new building in the
fall.

given by the Board of Trustees in
honor of the Seniors and Alumnae.

sermon by Dr. Hill.

faculty.

Class day exercises.

Tuesday, June 2, the graduation

New Members of

Exec Installed

Ellen Davis Thanks Stu-
dents for Co-operation.

The installation service of the new
members of the Executive Committee
of Student Government was held Tues-
day night in the chapel. Ellen Davis,
the former Student Government presi-
dent, gave an interesting talk in
which she thanked the student body
for the co-operation they have given
her this year. After giving the oath
of office to the new president, Andrew-
ena Robinson, Ellen turned the gavel
and pledge over to her, and in turn
the new president gave the pledge to
the incoming committee. The installa-
tion was concluded with a talk by
Andrewena on the history of Student
Government. She stated that the
system was first introduced in Wil-
liam and Mary College and that
Thomas Jefferson fostered it at the
University of Virginia. Our organiza-
tion was suggested by Miss Hopkins,
and was begun in 1906 in room 13
Main.

The new officers of the Student Gov-
ernment Executive Committee are as
follows: President, Andrewena Robin-
son; Vice-Pr?sident, Marguerite Link;
Secretary, Mary Sturtevant; and
Treasurer, Maude Armstrong.

COTILLION CLUB OFFICERS

The semi-monthly Cotillion tea-
dance was held in the club room on
Wednesday afternoon. The hostesses
were Liza Tway, May Latimer, and
Jane McMillan.

After the tea-dance, the last meet-
ing of the year was held in the chapel
for the purpose of electing the officers
for the coming year. The officers for
1931-32 will be as follows:

President Lovelyn Wilson.

Vice-President Frances Duke.

Secretary and Treasurer Mary
Hamilton.

Freshmen Entertain
Juniors At Unusual
Party Given May 7

Gymnasium Decorated As
Tough Bowery Speakeasy
to Carry Out Atmosphere.

Seniors Honorees
At Social Events

For an hour and a half Thursday
afternoon, May 7, the Agnes Scott
gym was a speakeasy. During this
time the Freshman class entertained
the Juniors there. The gym had all
the furnishings of a true "joint": half
of it was partitioned by screens and
canvas and tables and chairs were
placed around a space for dancing.
The bar, from which drinks and hot-
dogs were served, stood, surrounded
by appropriate signs, at the head of
the stairs from the basement.

Bowery characters added to the
speakeasy atmosphere. Virginia
Prettyman as a drunk sailor with his
girl, Amelia O'Neal; "Fuzzy" Phillips
and "Frankie" Farr, two "skoits"; and
Bertie Wells and "Bitsie" Fulk, a
couple of drunks, made the speakeasy
idea realistic as well as humorous.
The employees: Dot Bradley, the
bouncer, Margaret Malloy, the door-
keeper, the waiters, Mallie White,
Virginia Tillotson, and Polly Gordon,
all fitted convincingly into the setting.

Hazel Turner, as hostess, introduced
the entertainers. Claire Ivy and
Natilu McKenney in their Apache
dance and Mary and Mildred Thomp-
son singing "My Man" delighted the
guests. The A. P. D. C. orchestra
provided music for dancing.

Dr. McCain Talks at
Club Convention

'The Youth Movement" Is
Subject of His Address.

The Sunday Constitution carried the
following article, which will be of in-
terest to the college community:

"The Youth Movement" will be the
subject discussed by Dr. J. R. McCain,
distinguished president of Agnes Scott
College in Decatur, at the opening
session of the fourth biennial council,
the 35th convention of Georgia Feder-
ation of Women's Clubs, to be held in
Waycross, May 12, 13, 14 and 15, in-
clusive. The noted educator speaks
Tuesday evening, May 12, in the First
Baptist church and will be introduced
by Mrs. Samuel M. Inman, of Atlanta.
He will base his address partly on the
youth movement developed in other
countries such as Germany, China, and
Turkey, and will deal with it as ap-
plied to those of college age in the
United States. Dr. McCain believes
that as women are dominant in their
influence over youth, it is appropriate
for a convention to spend a few mo-
ments in rapid survey of some modern
tendencies on the part of young peo-
ple. So understanding of, and sym-
pathetic with, the youth of the land is
Dr. McCain, that his talk will be ex-
ceedingly enlightening and inform-
ative to delegates and visitors attend-
ing the council.

Miss Lewis Awarded
An Art Scholarship

Honor Given By American
Institute of Architects.

Another member of the Agnes Scott
faculty has been signally honored.
Miss Louise Lewis, head of the Art
Department, has received a scholar-
ship to the Harvard Fine Arts School
for the summer term. The award was
made on a consideration of drawings
submitted to the American Institute
of Architects, which has charge of
presenting a group of scholarships
provided by the Carnegie Foundation.

This recognition of Miss Lewis'
ability is a decided honor to her and
to the college.

Blackfriars and Glee Club to
Present Performances.

A round of social activities have
been planned for Commencement
week as a joyful climax to the period
of examinations.

The first momentous occasion of the
series is the Sophomore-Senior lunch-
eon to be held Saturday, May 23, at
the Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta. Dates
have been made, surprises hinted, and
embryonic plans formulated to make
this event worthy of being the last
function of these sister classes.

On Friday, May 29, at 7 o'clock the
Junior class will entertain the Senior
class at a banquet at the Atlanta
Women's Club. Besides the members
of both classes the Juniors have invit-
ed Dr. and Mrs. McCain, Miss Hop-
kins, and the faculty advisers of both
classes to be present. The details for
the entertainment have not as yet been
completed.

On Saturday, May 30, the Glee Club
will give a recital in the Bucher Scott
Auditorium for the benefit of the col-
lege community and their friends. At
this time a sacred cantata composed
by Mr. Dieckmann will form the
nucleus of the musical program.

As a grand finale to a full social
season, Blackfriars will present on
Monday, June 1, "In Love With Love,"
a sparkling comedy in three acts. The
members of the cast are:

Ann Jordan Martha Skeen

Mr. Jordan Julia Grimmet

Julia Betty Bolton

Bob Metcalf Margaret Ellis

Frank Oakes Catherine Happoldt

Jack Gardner Margaret Belote

Marion Amelia O'Neal

Outgoing Athletic
Board Entertains

Stone Mountain Camp Is
Scene of Festivities.

On Monday, May 11, the out-going
Athletic Association Board entertained
the incoming board at camp for the
evening. Invited with the boards were
those who have given their services
toward making the work of the as-
sociation possible this year. They are
Miss Haynes, Miss Sinclair, Miss Wil-
burn, Dr. and Mrs. McCain, Dr. and
Mrs. Davidson, Dr. and Mrs. Hayes,
and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.

The festivities began at five o'clock
when everyone assembled at the
Agnes Scott Cottage. After roaming
around enjoying nature while the
cooks were at work, the crowd heart-
ily welcomed a spread of a three-
course supper. After supper a short
board meeting was called, at which
Susan Glenn and Sarah Bowman gave
their reports of the Southern Athletic-
Association Conferences, which met at
the University of Georgia. The enter-
tainment for the remainder of the eve-
ning consisted in various games,
charades, and dancing; and the
gaieties came to an end by a ride back
to school late in the evening by star-
light.

BLACKFRIARS ELECT

At the meeting of the Blackfriars
held Wednesday night, May 6, the
following officers were elected for the
coming year:

President Mary Lillias Garretson.

Vice-President Margaret Belote.

Secretary Barbara Hart.

Treasurer Catherine Happoldt.

Property Manager Margaret Rid-
ley.

Costume Manager Cecile Mayer.

Two plays were presented under
the direction of members of the Play
Production Class.

Annual High School
Play Day Success
In Spite of Weather

Dancing, Basketball, Track
Swimming, Tumbling, Pic-
nic Are Events of Day.

The annual High School Play Day,
sponsored by the Athletic Association,
was featured Saturday, May 9, at the
gym. Ten representatives and coaches
from each of the high schools of At-
lanta and Decatur and members of the
Athletic Association Board took part
in the events of the afternoon. The
schools sending representatives were
Decatur High, North Avenue High,
Girls' High, Commercial, Covington,
Fulton, Sacred Heart, Druid Hills, and
Washington Seminary. The partici-
pants were divided into four color
groups, green, blue, orange, and pur-
ple. Each group had colored caps and
was represented on the score chart
by a sea-faring vessel. The green
group had a sail boat; the blue, a row
boat; the orange, a steamboat; and the
purple, a motor boat. Kitty Purdie
was in charge of the program for the
afternoon.

The events began at one o'clock
with a square dance led by Miss
Wilburn and followed by an address
of welcome by Dr. McCain. General
dancing with music by the A. P. D. C.
orchestra continued until the basket-
ball game was called. After several
games between the various groups, the
greens were declared victorious.
Tumbling followed basketball, and was
featured by clever optionals and pyra-
mid-building. Agnes Scott swimmers
then gave a diving and water polo
e v hibitinn, j^ffo^ which ?. p!mage fosc
all was enjoyed. Indoor track, con-
sisting of a three-legged race, human
croquet, and a leap-frog race, and
giant volley ball, an impromptu novel
game, were the next events of the day.
A posture contest brought the compe-
titions to a close. A picnic supper,
spread on cloths of the group colors,
ended the afternoon's festivities. The
green sail boat led the other groups
followed by the orange steamboat to
win the contests of the day.

That Play Day was worth while and
was a success may be ascertained by
a remark made by one of the high
school coaches, who said, "I like to
have my Seniors come to Play Day, for
they won't have another chance; but I
like to have my Juniors come for it
helps me more next year."

CO-OPERATION

A g*reat deal has been said concerning co-operation, perhaps
too much and yet do we really know the real meaning of the
word and realize its possibilities when directly applied to our cam-
pus. A great deal has also been said concerning the lack of in-
terest in certain activities here and we feel that the only remedy
for the situation lies in this direction.

Every person on the campus, who contributes at all to its life,
is interested in at least one student organization or extra-curricu-
lar activity. She is anxious in some degree for its success in the
projects which it undertakes. She is provoked when lack of stu-
dent interest makes the accomplishment of its purpose impossible
and this is often the case. The member of the Glee Club deplores
small student attendance at concerts; the member of the Athletic
Board is irritated by student indifference to its endeavors; the
member of the Y. W. Cabinet is discouraged by small vesper audi-
ences; the member of a publication staff complains that students
do not read its work; and so on, the principle applies to every or-
ganization, publication, club and society on the campus.

Suppose, however, that each one of these students, who most
assuredly has something of which to complain, examine herself in
respect to her co-operation with each of the other activities; grade
herself on her attendance, interest and sympathy. She has no
right to expect co-operation for herself and her projects, if she
does not give it to those from whom she expects it. She is not
just i t ied in complaining if she does not give to others what she
requires of them.

Of course none of us are perfect! We cannot be expected to
attend everything on a campus as organized as ours. But we can
be expected to give a reasonable amount of attention plus a sympa-
thetic interest and if we want any ourselves we must give it.

This is the co-operation which will add new life to the whole
campus program and increase the happiness and success of the in-
dividual student many times.

ARE V()l EARNING YOUR $250?
The amount required of a student at Agnes Scott for tuition
and board rxprnses for ono year is 700. In addition to this, the
college spends on each student an average of $250 yearly out of
the income from its endowment; that is the administration makes
a gift of $1000 to each student who attends this college for the
whole four years. It seems rather useless to point out that the
recipient Of this sum owes something in return; it sivms rather
absurd that Agnes Scott should ever have to ask for co-operation
from the students under these circumstances. Think it over!
Ask yourself what you are doing for the college to earn your $250!

(We have been requested to print
the talk which Virginia Gray made in
Vespers some weeks ago. and since we
feel that it is especially appropriate
to the season, it follows in full. The
Editors.)

"Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye
Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all
ye stars of light. Praise Him. ye
heavens of heavens and ye waters
that be above the heavens. Praise
the Lord from the earth, ye moun-
tains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and
all cedars. Sing praise unto our God
who covereth the heaven with clouds,
who prepare th raise for the earth, who
maketh grass to grow upon the moun-
tains."

This is the time of year, more than
any other, when it seems that "the
heavens declare the glory of God, and
the firmament showeth his handiwork,"
this season when "spring unlocks the
flowers to paint the laughing soil,"
and this is the season, too, when each
of us wishes she had the gifts of the
psalmist to put into such beautiful
words as his the things which this
lovely world about us makes us feel
about our God.

Because it is through the loveliness
of the world that we see God; nature
gives us our only tangible conception
of God. Our childish fancies pictured,
perhaps, a huge being, with form like
our own, sitting on a throne, wearing
a crown; or, perhaps, a bright, daz-
zling light nothing more; or, maybe,
merely a face a kind, loving, father's
face. Now our more mature minds
have ceased to try to picture God, who
is a spirit and has no visible form.
We see Him in the good things which
he causes to be done in the world. But
they are abstractions. We see Him in
the good people about us. His serv-
ants are so like Him that they reflect
Himself. But they are persons like
ourselves, and so through them we
cannot see God. But we can see Him
in Nature. He smiles down upon us
from among the boughs of a tree; He
looks up at us from the heart of a
violet.

And in the varying moods of Na-
ture we see God in His varying as-
pects and attitudes toward us.

Perhaps some time in the busy
whirl of these last few weeks, we'll
have time to slip off, alone, to walk
in the woods. These Georgia woods
are particularly lovely the ground
all carpeted with pine needles; here
and there clumps of grass, clusters of
violets and forget-me-nots, growing
among the needles; all about the
rough, brown trunks of the pine trees;
high overhead the green of the
branches against the blue of the sky;
rays of sunlight filtering through and
falling all about a little of God's own
glory overflowing onto earth, and we
stand in awe before this majestic, dig-
nified being who is our God. We feel
as if we want to fall down on our
knees and worship, there in the still-
ness and silence of the woods. "The
groves were God's first temples." And
we can easily understand that they
might have been not only the first,
but also the best, of God's temples.

Then we walk on a little farther un-
til we come to a brook babbling along
through the woods. It's a pretty little
brook, clear, shallow water flowing
along its bank a peaceful spot. So
we sit down on the bank to think for
a while, to commune with God in our
thoughts, to discuss our problems with
Him, to ask His advice. Then we can,
as Shakespeare did, find
'Tongues in trees, books in running
brooks,

Sermons in stones, and good in every-
thing,"

And then, one day, we are walking
beside a pansy bed. We look down at
those impish little pansy faces twink-
ling their eyes at us, wrinkling up
their pug noses at us, and we know
that our God is a cheerful God. He
realizes that we like fun and merri-
ment in our world, that we like to be
glad and laughing, and bubbling over
with the mere joy of existing in such
a lovely world. We know that as God
makes the pansy faces smile up at us,
so He likes our faces to smile up at
Him.

And then the sun no longer shines;
I clouds begin to gather there's going

To Make Study of College Standards
Chicago, 111. The most significant
accomplishment at the recent conven-
tion of the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary schools, was
the fact that the general education
board of the association has made a
$110,000 grant for a thorough five-
year study of college standards, ac-
cording to educators who attended it.

This study is to be made under the
direction of Dean Melvin H. Haggerty,
School of Education, University of
Minnesota, Dr. Edmonson, School of
Education, University of Chicago,
President Zook, University of Akron,
and Dr. Henry Suzzallo, director of
the Central Education Board.

The general objective of the study
is to so reorganize college standards
that emphasis will be placed on quali-
tative standards rather than quanti-
tative standards. Heretofore, college
standards have emphasized the size of
faculty, amount of money available,
number and kind of degree, etc. It is
hoped that in the future emphasis will
be placed on student accomplishment.

Fine Arts Center to Be Established

Cummington, Mass. Plans are well
under way for the establishment of a
unique fine arts center at Cumming-
ton, Mass., under the direction of Miss
Katherine Fraser, former Mount Holy-
oke instructor and now director of a
summer music center, Playhouse-in-
the-Hills, at Cummington.

The school will strive to give its
students the aesthetic benefit of an
artistic education rather than to pre-
pare them for professional careers.
The three-year course will offer work
in one of the major departments which
include literature, painting, sculpture,
dramatic expression and music, sup-
plemented by appreciative and cultural
study of other branches of art, and by
courses in psychology, philosophy, aes-
thetics, history, and general literary
criticism as related to art. The student
body will be limited to 100 young men
and women who have completed sec-
ondary school requirements.

The methods of instruction will be
a departure from the traditional class-
room routine and recitations. Instruc-
tion will come through intimate con-
tacts with artist-teachers, informal
talks, group discussions, studio prac-
tice and independent research. Accord-
ing to the catalogue, which may be
seen in the Music Building, all work
will be carried on "under those condi-
tions of simplicity and freedom whic h
the word play best expresses."

Oldest Yale Grad Die- in Hundredth
Year

Cincinnati, Ohio (IP) . Edward P.
Bradstreet, the oldest graduate of
Yale university, died at his home here
recently at the age of 100. Until about
two years ago Mr. Bradstreet main-
tained his law office and was active
in community affairs. He was a mem-
ber of the famous class of '53 at Yale
which had 111 members at graduation.
When he celebrated his one hundredth
anniversary on June 5 he was honored
by the Cincinnati Yale club at a ban-
quet. Before going to Yale, Mr. Brad-

Away with the old idea and false
theory that college students, and honor
students in particular, impair their
health by concentration upon things
which tend to keep one indoors. In a
recent copy of the Atlanta Journal
Sunday Magazine section, the question
was asked: "Are college students as
healthy as people who spend more
time in the open?" The answer was
to the effect that the life expectancy
of college graduates is over two years
greater than the general average,
while honor students have an extra
two years. Probably Agnes Scott girls
consider that their gym work compels
them to spend more time in the open
than would be ordinarily customary.
To say the least, Agnes Scott girls
have always enjoyed a rather high
standard of health. The idea of an
extra two years expectation for honor
students is probably surprising to
those who consider that many of these
students are only "grinds" who en-
danger their health by too close ap-
plication. But, evidently, such is not
the case. Perhaps with the expecta-
tion of lengthening their span of life
by two years, there will be more stu-
dents who aspire to the honor roll and
Phi Beta Kappa keys!

THE AGONISTIC

Clubs

Well, old soul,

I lack all semblance of pep, except
just enough to emit a few groans over
the coming festivities. Imagine! This
time next week we'll be grinding away
in double-quick time. We may get
through with great effort; but it is
certainly a drawback not to be able to
eat our brain food (page Mr. Hershey)
during exams. Oh well, at least that's
something to blame it on when the
flunk slips come slithering in. Still,
you can't help envying them at Wel-
lesley, where tea and coffee are
served in the middle of every exam.
I guess that's just in self defense be-
cause they don't have Miss Christie
around to give swell teas like the one
she pulled last week. Of course, only
the elite were there, but I heard that
it was lovely. She ought to receive a
vote of thanks for furnishing an op-
portunity to wear one's newly acquir-
ed wearing apparel, summer frippery,
and knick-knacks, or what-have you.
Did you see Baby Watson in her black
and white outfit? She was such a
perfect representation of Marlene
Dietrich that I instinctively rushed up
to her with my autograph album.

Giddy, you have no conception of
the activity around the A. M. since
Spring and hay fever are in the air.
The banquets, luncheons, and other
shindigs that have been thrown around

here lately would satisfy the longings
of any social peanut. Why, even the
INOHR is threatening to descend to
the common level and give a party. No
wonder you're gaping I forgot to
mention that INOHR (notice its re-
semblance to HONOR (Roll) is a
select group comprised of the Intelli-
gentsia Not On the Honor Roll. There!
There! Don't be so hasty about ap-
plying for entrance. They're quite,
nay, very particular about whom they
admit. You'll be more certain of
membership if you've flunked gym
once and preferably twice. If you've
flunked Spoken English you're ad-
mitted without so much as a quibble.
If you'd like to try out, see either
Ellene Winn or Weesa Chandler, each
of whom insists that she, by virtue of
her qualifications, is president of the
elevated organization!

I can't resist telling you about
Louise Miller's telephoning experi-
ence! The other day in answer to
several rings, she picked up the re-
ceiver, replied, 'Til call her," and
went to the foot of the stairs, pre-
paratory to yowling up to third floor.
Imagine her surprise and chagrin
when she was heard to bellow in a
loud and business-like manner,
"AGNES SCOTT! Telephone!" The
poor soul was so embarrassed that she
catapulted without more do into her
room, locking the door and leaving
the telephone to its own devices. It
was only after three days of eating
her meals through the keyhole that
she got up courage and stamina
enough to come out of her retirement
and face the jeers and taunts of her
unsympathetic school chums and col-
lege pals.

Ho! Hum! I'm completely exhausted
with so much gabbling. Guess I'll be
shimmering along gotta see a lady
about a hydrangia.

Love,

Aggie.

Student Volunteer

The Student Volunteer group met
Thursday night at 8 o'clock. Helen
Respess, who graduated from Agnes
Scott last year, led the meeting and
reviewed the book, "Whither Bound
in Missions?" Several major aspects
of modern missions were given atten-
tion: especially, the rise of the native
Christians to responsible positions of
leadership, and the realization that
Christian nations can receive from as
well as give to the peoples they are
trying to serve.

GOD IN NATURE

(Continued from page 2)
to be a thunderstorm. Where I live
there are mountains. And there's
nothing I'd rather do, in the summer,
than to stand on my front porch and
watch a thunder storm come down
over those mountains. The clouds
gather, first, far back of the moun-
tains, dark, ominous clouds. They come
sweeping nearer and lower, almost
brushing against the tops of the
mountains. Thunder roars as if it
would split the earth. Lightning
flashes blindingly, great jagged
streaks all up and down the horizon.
A sort of dark, expectant calm settles
over everything. Then the clouds are
down over the mountains, hiding their
tops from view. You can see great
sheets of rain falling from heaven to
earth. The wind begins to blow strong
in your face, a fresh wind laden with
the feel and the smell of the approach-
ing rain. And then, suddsntly, it is
upon you, sweeping all about you with
another flash of light and another
deafening crash. And you stand there
against the wind, almost overwhelmed
with the power of that God, who rules
your life.

So whether Nature smiles or frowns
she makes us see God; she makes us
feel His presence; she makes us want
to be near Him, to worship Him, to
praise Him, to say to Him
O Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To Thee all praise and glory be!
How shall we show our love to Thee,

who givest all ?
The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love de-
clare;

When harvests ripen, Thou art there,

who givest all.
For peaceful homes and healthful

days,

For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe Thee thankfulness and praise,
who givest all.

In an attempt to settle the noise
problem which has bothered residents
of one of the dormitories at Columbia
University since the beginning of the
fall semester, undergraduate leaders
have taken matters into their own
hands and organized a "trial jury"
system which they hope will amelior-
ate the abuses speedily and effectively.

Modern woman excels the male
when it comes to oratory, claims Jean
Campbell Macmillan, public speaking
instructor with the University of Cali-
fornia Extension Division.

A faculty rating scale will be sub-
mitted to the students of Stout Insti-
tute, Menomonie, Wisconsin, in order
to allow the instructors to find out
what the students think of their work.
Students will grade their professors
on a scale ranging from 0 to 100.

Archery Tournament

On Tuesday. May 5, the hockey field
was a scene of much excitement, when
the annual archery tournament of the
year took place. There were thir-
teen contestants, all of whom put up
their best shooting of the season.
Bessie Meade Friend, the archery
manager of this year, won the tourna-
ment with the score of 195. and will
receive the archery cup. It will be
interesting to note that the cup last
year was won by last year's archery
manager, Sallie Peake. The runner-up
of the tournament was Diana Dyer,
who had a score of 156. The other
contestants were Florence Preston,
Margaret Weeks, Rebecca Christian.
Hettie Mathis, Margaret Massie, Sarah
Bowman, Catherine Welborn, Letitia
Rockmore, Mary McDonald. Etta
Mathis, and Louise Hollingsworth.

Agnes Scott has entered the Na-
tional Women's Archery Tournament
which takes place the latter part of
this month. All of the contestants
of this tournament are invited to try
out for the team which is to repre-
sent the college then. The tournament
will be held on the archery range, and
the results wired to headquarters.

Mrs. Harris Visits

The college was glad to welcome
Mrs. Weaver Harris, of Nashville.
Tenn., as the guest of Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn during the May Day festivi-
ties. Mrs. Harris came especially for
the lovely and successful program Miss
Wilburn spent hours of tireless effort
in preparing.
