VALDOSTA, GEORGIA
BACK STAGE WITH EDWINA
Esther Smith
Edwina's life had been a full one. Very readily did her college acquaintances sense her knowledge of people, books, things. Descrip tions of a beautiful old colonial home surrounded by spacious lawns and gardens of flowers served as an excuse for her sensitive apprecia tion of values and love of quiet, dreamy places.
That was Edwina as her friends knew and appreciated her, but it was not the real Edwina.
Born into a typical Southern farm home the girl was the youngest of a family of six children. The only opportunity she had had for advancement was through the world of books, exceptional for the fact that even this was allowed her. In high school she studied, absorbed practical knolwedge, lived through her books and graduated at the head of her class.
"Don't see no sense in givin' it all to one," said her mother." Don't see no sense in givin' a girl schoolin' no how if she's goin' marry the first chance she gets. I can learn her to sew and cook and that's all she needs fer that."
"Well, why don't you learn 'er?" asked Edwina's father. " 'Cause I don't want Ed to marry no how. My other three girls made such a poor out at it. She knows how to do lots, tho. She just don't like it. Might as well let her go on to school." "Well, I don't know as I can afford it" expressed Mr. Larson worriedly, " 'Cause I'm going to buy that old Ranley farm if it don't cost too much. Fact is, it's in a run-down condition. House ain't no good, but I can put off building a yard fence around this here place and use that money to fix it up a little. Let 'er go if she wants to. She ain't doin' no good stayin' around here. I heard some of 'em talkin' at the store today 'bout how she likes to put on airs." "She ain't puttin' on no airs," the protective instinct predominated over facts as Mrs. Larson replied, "She just don't care nothin' about them silly boys and girls that hang around that old store an' I'm shore glad of it." "No, it ain't that she's biggety, exactly," Mr. Larson agreed sym pathetically; "She's just proud, but Lord knows I don't know what it's about. She ain't got nothing to be proud of. She does look purty well. She just don't think about speaking to them or she says some big word like nobody but her ever heard tell of and ever'body laughs. Then she walks off with a high head just like she was better'n any body else. Don't guess no body but us understands Ed." Edwina heard it -all through the crack in her door. She was bitter.

THE PIKE BRAHCH
Why didn't those darned old villagers leave her name alone. Her name. She liked that. It was the only thing about her that she did like and she wondered how she happened to have it. Edwina! It was musical. It was also the one and only thing about her that she was not going to change when she went off to school. It would fit into her plans, but no other part of her environment would. She was going to live, soar to dreamy heights, make her life just as she had always desired it to be. She pictured herself surrounded by a bevy of attentive girls, painting the clouds of her life with beautiful rays of sunshine so as to emit only splendor and richness. Her father and mother--she would keep them for they must write letters to her; letters so full of admiration and worship that even her best friends should not see them. They might think her conceited, or that her parents weren't sincere. Edwina's mother could not write a legible hand and often said "I weren't" or "We was." No, she would not let her friends read the letters.
For three weeks Edwina dreamed through the life she would live in college. She read, applied every likely situation one meets in a new environment to herself and met it with dignity and reticence. As a result, she developed a distinctive character desirous to any of her student friends. This, connected with the incomparable descrip tive beauty of an old southern home and the richness and culture of which she seemed to be a part gave her an individuality apart from the usual girl.
The conversation in Beth Wilson's room drifted to the common line of thought. Weekend,--going home.
Anita Reeves revived interest with the words, "Edwina is going home for the week-end. Wish she'd hand me over a cordial invitation to go with her."
"Ge, but I do too," came from the bright eyed irresponsible Anna, lying with her feet parallel with the head of her bed. She could think more efficiently about love--her favorite line of thought and talk. What couldn't I do with a home like Edwina's. Love. I'll bet it thrives in the atmosphere.
"Anna, you wash me out entirely," replied practical Anita. "Love. Bosh! Don't you ever consider the worthwhile things of life? I think of Edwina's home as a back-ground for culture, refinement, a well-bred Southern family. Real people. You know what I mean."
"Yes, of course, Anita," came the response from the third girl, "Well everything so far as I'm concerned. I'm going to visit her sometimes."
Has she invited you, Beth?" Anna interestedly reversed her posi tion, raising her head in the air instead of her feet.

VALDOSTA, GEORGIA

"No, not yet, but I know she would like it." "I believe she would like for all of us to do it, replied Anita,
seriously. Say, girls, we don't have a thing to do this weekend.

Let's just announce to Edwina, Thursday perhaps, that we're going home with her. See, that late she won't feel that she must make any plans. Just bask in the quiet of a beautiful country home. I'll

love it and so will she."

. .

,

Edwina was unsuspecting. She reveled in her descriptions or the

sweet contentment awaiting her at home as compared to the passive

existance endured at school. Delicious things to eat prepared by an

affectionate old black mammy. Reality was a black night"mare.

She escaped its clutches through sweet dreams; so sweet, in fact,

that she could not resist the telling. Thursday evening found the expectant trio becoming more and

more expectant every minute.

,,

"I suppose I shall be riding south by this hour tomorrow, medi"

tated Edwina with usual pleasant calmness. "And I will too," repeated Anna, Beth and Anita, as if by rote

and practise.

.

"What do you mean?" Edwina was pleasantly surprised, You

hadn't mentioned a contemplated visit any place. Giving some lucky

person an unexpected call?" "That's exactly right Edwina dear, and you're the lucky person.
Give your little pal, Anna, a hand for always doing the right thing
in the right way." And the three girls made a rush for the shower. Edwina's mind went perfectly blank. "Damn. Could they be
serious. She felt faint, weak in the central regions as one feels on suddenly receiving news of the death of a dear friend. Surely die was imagining things. Could anything so tragic come into her life?
All the beautiful things of her life, erected through sweet dreams. What would happen to them? Tumbled in a heap about her before she could abandon them. Make excuses to prevent the visit? But how could she? Thinking in terms of newspaper gangland, she con" sidered "squealing" on herself. But she could not. She had not

the courage to face those lovely girls and say, I m a liar. Homeward bound the Southern Limited bore the desperate Ed'
wina, made even more desperate by the fact that she must suppress her every feeling behind a calm exterior. None of the girls noticed
her lack of enthusiasm. She was unemotional even if she were going home. Suppose they knew her present emotions. Sad plight, hers.
Fury; hate; hate for everybody, her friends, her home, her own distorted self surged in her being. But calmness predominated out"

wardly. Edwina's father had never kissed her. At the station he met

her with a beaming smile. "Well, how are you, kid? Ugh! you're looking good."
"No sweet love story woven about the chauffeur," laughed Anna to the other girls as they saw the greeting across the wide platform. "He's old and married I guess."
The first faint idea of deception penetrated through the girls' minds when Edwina was forced to introduce the man as her father. The idea became firmly grounded when he walked to an old farm truck, began piling in hat boxes and said with a slightly intoxicated flourish, "Get in girls and let's get goin'. Ed'll have to help her Ma with supper. She didn't know all you girls wu coming, and she ain't got nothing much fixed to eat. But we're shore glad to have you."
Edwina rode up front with her father, not because she wanted to, but because she did not want to ride in the rear with the girls. She suffered. Death itself could have been no more terrible for her.
Before a dilapidated old farm home, unpainted, and a torn down board fence drawn near the porch the old truck stopped.
"Come here, Susie, and see what I got," called Edwina's father from the gate.
"Well, I got my hands in the dough, but I'll come." And her toil worn mother appeared with hands white with dough to complete her self destruction.
"Well, well, well," waving her dough-covered hands wide she embraced Edwina with arms only. "Looks like you've got a crowd uv'em."
Edwina mechanically went through the introductions. "Come on in girls. We ain't got but one extra bed. Can all uv you sleep together? I shore am glad to have you, but Ed, you'd oughta let me knowed they wu* coming so as I could a fixed up a little bit."
Only Anita had sufficiently recovered to reply to this plain old farmer lady, "Now, Mrs. Larson, don't mind at all about that. Ed wina didn't let you know because she didn't know it herself. We just came unexpectedly because we wanted to know what living on a farm was like."
So you all are town girls, eh? I kinda expected Ed to stick around up there with girls like her own self. Well, we ain't got nothing much here but plenty to eat, but we're still glad to have you."
For Edwina the entire week-end was a tragic night mare. The girls, as all sensible guests do, pretended to enjoy the pigs, cows, and mules that her father displayed. To Edwina even, the girls almost seemed sincere.

"Fm gonna make some money on that load 'uv hogs,11 was Mr.

Larson's topic of conversation at the table. "Bought 'em cheap, and

they're selling dern good now. Orta be able to send Ed on to school

another year."

It ended. Even life itself ends, and Edwina would gladly have

welcomed it. Back to school and classes and the life she loved, but

it was not the same. Strangely enough none of the girls changed

toward her. Only the deception was effaced. She could continue

with them, assume her usual reserve and don complete silence to all

as regarded her past. She would do that. Nothing available could

rebuild her crumbled castles. She'd go straight from now on. Never

another lie! She could not endure a second time the misery to which

she was subjected in the unveiling of her life.

The news spread rapidly. "Edwina, I hear you're transferring next quarter, what's the point? Anything definite? "No, France. I can't get that psychology course here that I wanted this quarter. That's the only reason." To Edwina's new college friends she was a point of interest. She knew people, books, things. Evidently her background was worthy of praise. "Why did you transfer, Edwina?" one of her new friends asked. tsOh they have quite a distinctive curricula and educational facilb ties there, but, well--the girls hardly measure up." Nothing boast' ful. Very reservedly did she say even that. "I understand, Edwina. It's evident that your environment has given you an appreciation of values that the usual girl lacks. Sophis' ticated Edwina. I envy you, your background."

ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS
Elizabeth Larisey
Have you ever watched people study? By studying I do not mean the casual sort of affair that goes on every day in the library, that travesty on study that is conducted by the clock watchers and the bell listeners with one eye on the book and the other on the door; but the bitter ordeal that is undergone during the times that try our souls--I have reference to term tests. By a little observation, crammers will be found to divide themselves into several distinct classes.
First there are the mumblers. These often sit with uplifted heads, closed eyes, and rapt expressions, while they mouth their words. They appear almost awe stricken, and to the uninitiated, present the appearance of devotees performing a religious ceremony. Mumblers are frequently pacers also. In such cases, notes clutched in unsteady hands, they stalk up and down in a more or less restricted area, like caged animals. Pacing always comes after a certain amount of mumbling, never the reverse. When the pacing stage is reached, the facial expression loses its rapt quality and becomes harrowed. Many a mile is tramped, and many a shoe worn thin in this way.
Then come the scribblers. This is the type that carefully copies outlines offered by the professor. Using these, the scribbler studies by writing down answers repeatedly, using abbreviations that she coins as she writes, and writing so illegibly that the queer abbrevia' tions do not matter anyhow. The scribbler consumes reams of paper, inches of lead, and is invariably afflicted with writer's cramp. There is much to be said for the scribbler. It is a psychological fact that the best way to practise a thing is in the way in which you will be called upon to use it, and since examinations are usually written, the inference is obvious. The scribblers are sub-divided into the nail biters, the hair twisters, the gum chewers, and the coffee drinkers. I myself am a confirmed scribbler, (I even mumble sometimes) and since I do my most effective studying when my head is wet, I am morally certain that if tests extended over a much longer period of time, I should be in grave danger of becoming bald. That might have its advantages, but that, as some one always says, is another story.
Then there are the readers, a very rare type. These are the cool, well-balanced, phlegmatic persons who can study by reading quietly. Occasionally readers are also underscorers, but that does not mar
Ten

VALDOSTA, GEORGIA
the serenity of their work. These are the people who are able to come into the class room calmly and cheerfully, and chat about trivial things during those horrible few minutes before the examination begins. These are the people who actually keep up with each day's work, and consequently are in no mad scramble as the fateful hour approaches. This type is unspeakably irritating to the wretches who are not well prepared. They appear to the said wretches' jaundiced eyes to be smug, superior, and complacent; one of them almost threw me into violent hysterics once on a time.
All these and more are grist to the mill of college, and as one of them, I wish more power to each in his own way!

GROOMS FOR THE SENIORS
Glenn Johnson
Every lassie has a laddie, or at least she has a pretty good idea of what she wants him to be.
In discussing things of this nature G. S. W. C. girls are as eager as any other girls. I decided to find out some of these opinions. Several seniors became the victims of my quest. They were all interested with the exception of Marjorie Sessions who emphatically said that she hated men.
Philosophical Virginia Hutchinson was caught on the tennis court. How charming she would look with a dashing young sport, but she wants a competent soul. He must be good"looking, not necessarily handsome. Handsome men are so often conceited. He must be kind and intelligent, and able to meet all people equally. Demo" cratic Virginia!
Kathryn Moore agrees with Virginia in wanting a good-looking, rather a handsome husband. Kathryn very emphatically stated, "He must take no for an answer.,, It was understood that he must be literary and have a huge sense of humor. Naturally, so he can appreciate her jokes.
On turning to the chemistry laboratory industrious Martiele Turner, whose presence is quite frequently beheld here, said that she, above all, liked men in their place. "Oh, if they are intelligent, a good sport, and rather witty and funny, I don't mind taking up some of my time with them. Above all, they must be sporting to attract me. I want one with whom I can swim, play tennis* and see football games."
Riches, jewels, clothes, Margaret Williams admires the rich. She desires to be an "old man's darling"--Who wouldn't like to spend the remainder of her life in luxury? She has an eye for business, in an elegant sense of the word.
Queer as it may seem, few seniors desire riches alone. Margaret Easterlin did not say that she wanted a rich husband, I guess I was to take that for granted, for if she is to be entertained in the way she likes, dances, games, and moonlight yachting parties, who but the wealthy could indulge in such? "He must be rather sophis ticated and domineering. Of course he must be good-looking."
Romantic and intellectual Kathryn Connell must find a literary genius. I hope the Fates are with her, since she is looking for one who loves Alice In W/onderland.
GeDelle Brabham, versatile person that she is, wants a "brute," a cave-man ! Oh, to think of turning one of our dear seniors
Twelve

VALDOSTA, GEORGIA
over to a brute! But I think she probably means it in a football sense of the term. Football heroes are outstandingly interesting, to say the least. GeDelle thinks also that an ideal must be well'read, have a sense of humor, and play fair. (He will probably learn that on the field, GeDelle.)
I think that Margaret Bischoff has been seeing too many picture shows and love scenes. Her ideal must have a good voice. When I asked her how one such as Bing Crosby would do, she said, "No, I don't especially admire the crooner, but oh, the real singer! Then he must be superior to me, rather intellectual and congenial."
Compatibility and Adelaide Spencer are the best of friends. She wants a true companion, a good old pal.
Venice Ritch has a hunch that she will find her ideal in New York next summer. She hasn't had very much time to think of him, but she does know that he must be congenial, like to dance, play bridge, and go places.
All opinions are different from Lilia Alexander's. She doesn't care for the sport or the companion. Hers must be dignified, in' tellectual, and sincere. Someone must watch Lilia in the classroom.
The ideals are high, yet not thoroughly unattainable, but in all the mixed up love mart one hopes that Robin Goodfellow's prophecy shall come true--
"Jack shall marry Jill and Naught shall go ill."

EDITORIAL
Kathryne Connell
Noblesse oblige. Courtesy perhaps more than any other quality if it be real and not feigned, holds the mirror up to the nature of a man, and reflects that while perhaps he has no coat of arms to boast of, nor Hepplwhite chairs to display proudly, nor any Wedgewood china of his grand mothers' to cherish, yet he belongs to the greatest and strongest nobility on Cosmos--the nobility of courtesy.
This is supposedly an editorial, yet it has taken on the nature of a sermon. Shakespeare, handy fellow, once made some remarks to the effect that sermons were to be found in stones. Even so, polite conduct is to be found among animals^--not to speak f humble men. Dearly beloved, do not wail aloud and declaim, "Beware the editor." In my scrap bag of fancy there is one bit of verse more loved than any other for the very fact that it represents to me good manners, courtesy, and loving kindness.
A sheep and a goat were a-walking through the pasture, Said the sheep to the goat, "Can't you walk a little Faster?" Said the goat to the sheep, "My toes are sore," "Excuse me goat, I did not know."
Oh, Affable sheep! Oh worthy and considerate goat! How often would we the elect of Georgia's young women, be so heartbrokenly sorry on learning that one of our classmates had suffered an injury to her foot?
So ever on through the pleasant vales of my thought roam the noble and congenial sheep, and the apologetic and loving goat. Truly they should be knighted, Archduke Goat, and Marquis Sheep. No blesse Oblige.

CRITICAL TIPS
Elizabeth Larisey
If you like dogs, or if you like the Brownings, or if you like dogs and the Brownings, you must read Flush by Virginia Woolf. It is a reconstruction of the life of the famous cocker spaniel, whom Ba adored, and who once bit Robert. A reviewer writing for the J^ew Tor\er says that Flush "receives posthumous canonisation from the hand of one of the finest living English stylists.11

November Pictorial Review features the first in stallment of Eva Le Gallienne's autobiography, Foot lights. The title is symbolic, because her ambition, which soon developed into determination to be an actress, dates from the time when, as a tongue-tied twelve year old, she met Sarah Bernhardt. Miss Le Gallienne is of Danish and Breton descent, has a continental edu cation,---Paris, Copenhagen, London; her early life was exciting, and she writes of it charmingly.

While satire may not make for great literature, it is often very funny, as Lardner's Odd's Bod\ins in the ?{ew Tor\er for October 7th. It is a very clever burlesque on O. O. McIntyre's column, Day by Day. Naturally, if you are not a McIntyre fan, it will be mean ingless; but if you are familiar with McIntyre's short shavings and thingamabobs, not to mention his purely personal piffle, Odd's Bod' \ins will have you, as it had me, in stitches.

Rosetti and his blessed damo2;el. Daniel Whitehead Hicky has just had published Thirteen Sonnets of Georgia, The occasion of the book is the bicentennial celebration of the founding of the colony of Georgia. Critics say that these sonnets are to be placed among his best. John Masefield, in whose poetry one can smell the salt of the sea, has two new books, one in prose and one in verse. The Conway, the prose volume, gives an insight into Masefield's own youth, and helps to explain his intense interest in things maritime. Of greater literary significance is the play in verse, End and Beginning. In this drama he tells the story of the last few days of Mary Stuart. The play is a monumental tribute to the unfaltering courage and steadfast religious beliefs of the unlucky queen of Scotland.

Much enthusiasm is being shown by French majors and minors in the French Club which they are now organizing. Regular monthly meetings will be held the fourth Saturday evening of each month. Miss Treanor appointed a committee to nominate officers for the club, naming Marjorie Sessions, of McCrae, as chairman. Here's hoping the club will be a great success, for there is no reason why the French majors and minors should not have a club of their own just as the other departmental majors.

The Vesper services on Sunday evening have been especially impres" sive and worthwhile during the past month. At these services studies in the life and personality of Christ were made. The first of these studies was given on Sunday evening, October 15 th, by Miss Leonora DuFour, of Albany, and was based on "The Courage of Jesus.1' Miss Virginia Tuck, of Thomasville, discussed "The Master's Joy11 on Sunday evening, October 22nd, and Miss Clara Louise Driskell, of Ocilla, discussed "The Magnanimity of Jesus" on Sunday evening, October 29th. All of these talks were very inspiring and have helped in giving "An Understanding of Life Through a Growing Knowh edge of Jesus Christ."
We have had for consideration some of the real problems of our campus life in a series of open discussions which took place at the Vesper services on Thursday evenings during Oc' tober. Some of the questions raised were: "What determines whether a person 'rates' on our campus?"; "Does the relationship between faculty and students seen* to be that of a master to a servant or that of friend to a friend?"; "How do our Athletic Asso^ ciations promote a spirit of love among the girls here?"
The Club House is really being done over! We hope that all of you will use it this year and enjoy it. You know, of course, that all you have to do to get the use of it is to sign up with Carolyn Davidson, file your list of girls in the party going, and then go down to the "Housedn'the^Woods" and have a big time. The walls will be done over and new furniture, rugs, curtains, and dishes will be added. You should enjoy using it more than ever this year.
Miss Mary Christian, of Atlanta, spoke to the Baptist girls on our campus on Friday evening, October 13th. Under her leadership eighty Baptist girls were united in an organization of their church known as the Y. W. A.

PHI KAPPA NOTES

American ball and fist ball are now at their prime. The first games were scheduled for November 2nd. But if you have ever noticed, the weather is always against our plans, and* be' lieve it or not, but just an hour before the games we had a cloudburst. The games, however, were played Friday afternoon.
Kappas, where is our spirit? Our crowds at the games were the poorest we have ever had. Come out to the games and let's do some yelling for our teams. They do need our support, and there is no better way of giving it than having the pep on the sidelines. The Kappa fist ball team has worked hard so far, but they surely must work even harder before the next game. They had the mis fortune of losing their game. By some good playing, but mostly luck, the Kappas were victorious in the American ball game. Kappas let's think about this line sung in one of our favorite songs: "Kappa spirit never dies," and we will surely climb the ladder to success this year. The line-up for the American ball game is as follows: Martiele Turner, Valdosta; Louise Odum, Ashburn; Esther O. Smith, Mystic; Maggie Joiner, Griffin; Mildred Turnbull, Moultrie; Margaret Hall, Adel; Margaret Colswer, Morven; Joe Daniel, Josephine Joubert, Savannah; Jessie Langdale, Valdosta. The fist ball line-up are: Car olyn Davidson, Gabbettville; Nell Allen, Valdosta; Permelice Olliff, Quitman; Mayme Register, Adel; Ruby Nell Wall, Ellaville; Laura Allen, Climax; Lois Corley, Valdosta; Mary Bertha Kennedy, Mor ven. Substitutes were Marie Bower, Ocilla, and Mildred Ogles, Rome.

VALDOSTA, GEORGIA
Never give in, Rah, Rah, Rah!
These words and more were on the lips of every Lambda as she was led in parade on the field on November 3rd by new cheer leaders,--LaForest Smith, Valdosta; Annie Kate Knight, Quitman; Dorothy Hester, Cairo; Myrtle Pearce, Rochelle.
The Lambdas have passed their first two tests of the 1933-34 season. They were hard-fought, fiercely contested games between two alert teams.
The fist ball team won over the Kappa team by a 2-0 victory. There was a keen interest shown by both Lambda and Kappa teams. The fist ball team was composed of the following: Mary Glover, Valdosta, captain; Margaret Kennedy, Dawson, manager; Betty Mc Collum, Thomasville; Sara Nicholson, Amsterdam; Sara Allen Mor gan, Mystic;Montey Campbell, Athens; Clare Lawson, Savannah; Jeannette Shulman, Albany; Louise Driskell, Syrrency, substitute.
The American ball game was very exciting for both teams, and although the Lambdas lost, they put up a hard fight and held their spirit high throughout the entire game, Both teams showed beauti ful work, both offensively and defensively. The Lambdas playing on the American ball team were: Jacke Studstill, Lakeland, captain; Margaret Jones, Lakeland; Henry Kate Gardner, Camilla; Ruby Harrison, Fitzgerald; Lee Stearman, Savannah; Una Ritch, Jesup; Lucy Hammond, Griffin; Margaret Hudson, Newton; Pearl Wilson, Cordele; Mary Gibbs, Tifton; Estelle Roberts, Cordele.
It is strange how a team can gather enthusiasm and determina tion in such a short time, but that is exactly what the Lambdas have done. Watch them!
You do your best, girls, Well do the rest, girls, Lambdas to win today.
