LEGIONNAIRES PRESENT TO

FUG THE STUDENT BODY

Faculty Members Give Recital

One of the most enjoyable enter- ments of the year at LaGrange Col- lege is the Faculty Recital, given by instructors in the departments of piano, voice, violin and expression.

On the evening of September 17, a choice program was given by the artists on the college faculty.

Miss Rosa Muller opened the program with two brilliantly execu- ted piano numbers: "'Prelude, G Sharp Minor" by Rachmaninoff, and "Capriccio, G Minor," by Sekles.

Then followed a group of songs: Schubert's "Death and the Maiden," Gretohaninoff's ''Over the Steppe," and Rogers' "The Virgin's Slumber Song." These were delightfully rendered by Miss Elizabeth Wilkin, former member of the faculty of the American Conservatory in Chi- cago, who has been added to the LaGrange College faculty this year.

.Miss .Mildred Singer, director of expression, was the reader of the evening. Her selection, an arrange- ment of Hutchinson's "The Strike Breaker," w a s inimitably given', moving the audience to alternate tears and laughter.

Two violin numbers by Miss Gene Farmer followed: "Grand Concerto in D Minor" and "Andante-Adagio Religioso,'' by Vieux-temps. Miss Farmer, another new member of the faculty of music, charmed the audi- ence by her artistic performance.

The next group on the program consisted of two piano numbers, beautifully rendered by Miss Corne- lia Brownlee, director of music. Her selections were as follows:- "Nocturne Op. 15" and "Valse, Op. 42," by Chopin.

The program ended most effective- ly with a group of vocal solos by Hiss Wilkin: Fox's "The Hills of Home," Rogers' "Wind Song''; Fair- child's "A Memory"; and Spross's "Minor and Major."

L. C. Welcomes New Members

To Her Faculty

La' I ■'■ ishes to give spe :ial

welcome to her new faculty mem- bers, Miss Elizabeth Wilkin,

teacher of voice; .Miss Dixie Reid,

of Romance and Lang-

; and Miss Gene Farmer, of Violin; and to say to our

"new" matron, Miss Julia Peacock, that we are glad she has decided to return to us. The teachers who

with us last year know already that they are an integral part of the "Family on the Hill," and that we are glad to have them with us again- We wish for our new facul- ty members that they, too, may come to love our college and to feel themselves a part of it.

The Baxter L- Schaub Post of the American Legion presented the flag and flag staff to the student body at an impressive ceremony on the front campus Friday morning, September 11. The flag was pre- sented to the college during the summer when the Legion met in LaGrange for the state convention, and this opportunity was taken to present it to the students.

The students and alumnae pres- -ang the Alma Mater, after

which they were lead in prayer by C. M. Goer. President W. E. Thompson introduced the presenta- tion speaker, Major 0. C. Holleran, Post Commander. The flag was then acepted by Miss Hixie Gentry, Dublin, president of the Student Government Association-

At the end of the speech of ac- ceptance, there was a one-minute flourish of drums. the bugler

played "To the Colors" which was echoed by a second bugler on the auditorium steps, as the flag was raised to full staff. A final flourish of drums sounded and the program closed with the singing of "America." —0O0 —

"Y" Recognition Service

On Sunday evening, Sept. 20, the Recognition Service was held, in which the new girls became mem- bers of the "Y" and the old ones re-consecrated themselves to its in-

;s. As "Lead On, O, King rial'' was played on the piano,

the girls assembled on the quad- rangle, facing the Smith building. The members of the Cabinet march- ed out, dressed in white and bear- ing lighted candles, and formed themselves in 'to a living, glowing "Y" just off the steps. Then all the girls joined in singing "Follow the Gleam." Miss Katherine Rogers, of Mountville, president of the "Y" explained its significance, and welcomed the new girls into

ion. Miss Frances Ba- ;; ". of Hogansville, replied for the new girls, and in words of sin-

. pledged their loyalty to the "Y." Then each member of the Cabinet stated her duty. Again

trains of "Lead On, O, King Eternal" floated out upon the night air, this time with violin accompan-

. and every girl on the hill marched up and lighted her candle from the flaming taper in the press-

's hand. As the circle formed and the gentle radiance of candle light dispersed the soft evening shadows, every heart was filled with reverence, and each girl with bowed head, murmured', "For I am come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abun- dantly." j

Our college librarian, Miss Carrie Fall Benson, who is the author of the Centennial Pageant, "The Gold- en Wheel," is steadily growing in reputation as a poet and playwright.

Benson was honored last spring by having a poem, "Generation" ac- cepted for publication in the initial number of Versecraft, the delightful poetry magazine edited by Dr. Wightman F. Melton, formerly pro-

ix of English at Emory Univer- and now- lecturer at Oglethorpe

University. This issue contained poems by Edwin Markham, "dean of American poets"; Clinton Scoll- ard; Samuel Minturn Peck; and the well-known Atlanta poets, Mary Brent Whiteside and Daniel White- head Hicky. The May-June number included another of Miss Benson's poems, "Estrangement." A western

azine, The Harp, published her "Dark Flight'' in the summer. Other poems are scheduled to ap- pear in various magazines soon.

On Sunday, September 6, Miss Benson was the honor guest of the Poetry Forum, a section of the At- lanta Writers' Club. The Forum held its meeting in the home of one of its members, Miss Florence Shear- iv Hiss Benson furnished the pra- gram of the afternoon. She was ably .assisted by Mrs. Elmina Cald- well Wade, of LaGrange, who read the charming one-act play "The Fiddlin' Feller," and by Mrs. T. B. Kelley, of Atlanta, who accompanied

ain passages of the play on the violin. "The Fiddlin' Feller" had a most responsive audience. The following poems were read by the author: "Sonnet," "Chance Return," ""Separation," "Better Days," "Etch- ing," "Winter Is A Woman,'' and "Memorial Fountain." The entire program was enthusiastically receiv- ed, and pronounced delightful.

Critics of verse are acclaiming Mi j Benson as a real poet. She loves beauty in any form, and creates exquisite beauty in her poetry. Her verses have the true lyric qualities of melody, delicacy, and poignant emotional appeal. The friends of Miss Benson hope that she will carry out her plan of issuing a volume of poems in the near fu- ture.

LAGRANGE COLLEGE OPENS FOR 100TH SESSION

Methodist Church Entertain s

The First Methodist Church, of LaGrange entertained for the col- lege students and faculty on the church lawn Wednesday evening, September 23, at a delightful recep- tion. The lawn was decorated with Japanese lanterns and tall floor bas- kets of garden flowers.

The reception was planned by Mrs. Paul Smith, Mrs. R. C. Kay, and T. G. Polhill, who were host- esses for the evening. In the re- ceiving line were Rev. and Mrs. L. M. Twiggs, Mr- and Mrs- Howard Wooding, Mrs. Arthur Thompson, Mrs. R. C. Key, Mrs. Hal Childs, Mrs. E. K. Farmer and Dean E- A. Bailey.

"Y" Honors New The New Girls

With Reception

On Saturday evening, Sept. 19, the new girls were entertained with a very cordial reception. The par- lors and halls of Smith building were invitingly decorated with au- tumnal flowers. Realistic Japanese maidens presided over the garland- entwined punch-bowls and dispens- ed the cooling beverage to the guests as they arrived- When every one was greeted with "Can-ba-wah'' (Japanese for "good evening"), prom cards were passed out. These. were in the shape of the dainty j fans which lassies of the cherry- j blossom land carry about with them.'

Instead of the usual stroll-about

LaGrange College held its formal opening Friday morning, September 9th in the college auditorium.

Following the invocation by Rev. Twiggs a vocal solo was rendered by Miss Elizabeth Wilkin, the new voice teacher. She sang "The Pool of Quietness." The speaker of the occasion, Rev. E. A. Dallas, of the First Presbyterian Church, of La- Grange, was introduced by Presi- dent W. E. Thompson.

Rev. Dallas opened his talk with the words, "I congratulate you young ladies this morning at the be- ginning of another school year. First of all because you have come to college. There is a tendency now for those girls, who go to col- lege just to be going, to remain at home. Thos who come, because of resourcefulness, because of some great purpose or plan in their lives I congratulate you because you have come to LaGrange College. I like to think of it not only as a collection of buildings, but very much more. Enterwoven with the material things about it there are the dreams, the _ . aspirations, and the prayers of the men and women who have carried on so that the college might be possible. I hope that during the months you spend here that the voies of these people will come to you and lead you on to nobler deeds and higher thinking.''

Rev. Dallas went on to say "There are certain claimants being made on you as college young women. You are being claimed today as never~^ before in the past by the homes from which you come. You are be- ing claimed by these people who by loving care and planning have made it possible for you to be here. They are thinking of you as ambassa- dresses to aGrange College. Will you not realize that you are repre- senting them, whose prayers will surround you through all your days here?"

THE NEW YEAR. You're new here, and it isn't ex-

actly like home to you yet, is it? The days and the nights haven't passed off quite as quickly as they did this summer, have they? Your

ers assign to you longer les- sons than your favorite high school

her did, no doubt. And you might, at times, be a bit homesick. But do you know that pretty soon the girls here will seem to you like they do to all of us—just part of our big family?—well,they will. The days will fly by faster than you'd like for them to pass. You'll study those assignments, which seem long now. until it becomes a habit with you, and you'll be happy in your work. You'll ease to be homesick, 'cause this wil be home to you.

Let us work together, and make of this year the best that this ole' hill has watched pass. Let's for- get to use the word, "depression," and just laugh and be happy to- gether. In the years that have passed we might not have accom- plished so much—at least, we have- n't done the best that we could do. But never mind what has been! Remember that this September be-

DON'T TELL A SOUL

After a hundred years of it you'd think my implements of sight and sound would be noticeably less keen-edged, but not so, inmates. Along with the decades has come

development of a greater in- tensity of sharpness to these senses. Since those early days when I ob- served the ladies of the institution rolling their hoop skirts down the hill midst maidenly squeals, T have been obsessed with a greedy thirst

juicy bits of gossip Nor have I yet been disappointed and certain- ly this year bids fair to satisfy any cravings for "don't tell a soul," however extortionate the demands. Now don't tell a soul, but this real-

appened. Upon the knelling of the clear notes of the four a- m. factory whistle one September morn, two freshmen descended the

to the dining room with the faith of one who would eat fried! liver. This is just a sample, there's: more to follow in the days to come.! Now, I must hurry and get in the crapshootera" formation in order to f

hear the sweet nothings that were whispered through a certain per- son's permanent wave.

Centennially yours, I. HEARAND SEALL.

gan, for us, a new year—a year for fresh endeavor; a year that may, and should, be filled with hope and gladness. Let us forgive our- selves as fully and freely at we would forgive others, and go cheer- ily about our work, leaving all shadows of regret behind.

WELCOME, NEW GIRLS

Welcome's such a merry word. \\ by not say it more? Seven letters would not take Many from our store. Just a little friendly word And a tiny smile, Someone's heart you'll surely cheer Oh, for quite a while. Just remember how you felt When a freshman blue, How some old girl's passing word Made things bright for you.

Welcome, New Girls, here's to you! Welcome to L. C All her doors are open wide, Just for you and me. Wide old doors and spacious halls Usher you into Rooms that for a hundred years Held new girls like you. Make your face a happy one, Start a smile along, And you'll quickly find it true That you, too, belong.

Miss Sails' New Book

Among the many delightful honors that are being bestowed upon La- Grange College at this most impor- tant time, is the appearance of Miss Sails' new book of verse, which is dedicated to the college and to the centennial. This book, "Pensive Citadels," is being published by the Banner Pres, of Emory University, and is expected to be out about the fifth of October. It derives its appealing title from Wadsworth, the full quotation being, "Monks are contented with their cells, stu- dents with their pensive citadels.''

The poems in the volume are not melancholy, being for the most part

rhtly and delightful lyrics, with one or two longer narrative poems. Particularly pleasing are "Night Fancies", "Twilight," "helley on Olympus", and "To a Mimosa Tree," the last named to appear also in the next issue of Versecraft magazine. The lines sparkle with beautiful and delicate phrases, such as "moonbeams from their pearly cradles peep,'' "Every morning on her grave a poppy

3 a tear", and many others. No one should be better fitted to

get out a book of verse than Miss Sails, who has devoted years to both teaching and studying English poetry.

We are all delighted that the col- should have the honor of its

dedication. The volume will be n sale at Milam Drug Co., the price probably being about a dollar-

ty-five. Here are best wishes from The Scroll to "Pensive Cita- dels."

VERSECRAFT SPONSORS MISS BAILEY'S DEBUT AS POET

The July-August issue of Verse- craft, a poetry magazine, edited by Dr. Wightman F. Melton, and is- sued from the Banner Press, Em- ory University, had within its cov- ers a poem by one of the students of LaGrange, Miss Nellie Sue Bailey. Miss Bailey, a resident of LaGrange, is a member of th Jun- ior Class. The verses were writ- ten while she was still in High School.

It is with great pride that the members of the student body see this recognition of the talent of one of their school-mates. Miss Bailey's poem, "Storm-Strengthened," is one that grips the heart with deep feeling, and pays reverence to the glory of the commonplace. The Scroll staff, with great pleasure, reprints this poem of one of its members.

"STORM STRENGTHENED"

There is a twisted, storm-tried oak Against my sunset sky. Too big for tears it is—too sternly

strong. The tempest torturer can -wring

from it No cry of hate—no fear—though

kingly head Be bowed, and fair young branches

maimed forever. Wise as philosophy, it feeds upon

misfortune— Gains strength by striving; and in

its strife Gives no complaint more than a

sigh. A blackened monument it is, to

show All the grace and glory—all the

deep-hid strength Held in the hearts of twisted,

homely things. Nellie Sue Bailey, '33.

OOo . THE CHINA TEACUP.

(This reprint is affectionately ded- icated to Emeline Goulsby)

Translucent, fragile, delicate, and rare,

By a true cast into its mold, Reflecting sensitively his own

heart— It was a thing of beauty to behold.

It fell one day from the high, pro- teted shelf,

It's shell-like exquisiteness rudely shattered;

The fragments were slowly, tender- ly upgathered

As if the falling had not mattered. (From the Schoolma'am).

QUILL S QUIBBLES Xibbs: Is your wife easy on the

eyes? Nabbs: Yes, but, oh, those punch-

es in the mid-section.

Prof.: There are at least two sides to everything.

Stud.: Sir, have you ever seen a girl's bathing suit?

Guide: Now we shall see the sar- cophagus of Kink Tut.

Bashful Old Maid: "I'd better wait here."

My girl dresses in three things and two of them are shoes.

"Does your little boy always stick out his tongue at visitors that way?'

"Yes, he never forgets a face."

Voices in the dead of night i n the dorm: "Wake up, quick, wake up!"

"Can't." "Why not?'' "Ain't sleeping."

WELCOME, FRESHMEN!

With a supreme effort once again I lubricate with ink my aged pen and set it scratching. My thoughts alas! are prone to wander off on most diverting paths and my mind is wont to linger on recent ro- mances and the like. There is a task ahead, however, and such de- lightful memories must take their place with myriad others in the land of gone but not forgotten.

As I have said nothing so far, and, to be very frank, have nothing to say, and as my duty in filling this space presses hard upon me, I must become trite and choose for my subject "Freshmen." It's all the rage to wonder about them, question them, talk abou them — so why not write of them, too?

If I were in an essay mood, I should launch immediately into paragraph after paragraph upon so important a subject- As it happens, though, I am not capable of the concentrated effort that it would take to discuss at length the va- rious phases of our interesting, fascinating and glamourous new girls.

Anyway, the time has come either to say something or stop rambling in this notoriously lang- uorous manner. So, Freshmen, as a representative of the upper class- men, I address my thoughts to you.

After looking about a little, we have decided you new girls don't look so bad—especially since the wearing of the green and approp- iate accessories, is over. In fact, we think you look pretty good. And this little secret may comfort you— you're not at all different from the rest of us. A few of our full-blown intellectual vacuums may have ac- quired a little knowledge as a gar- nish, but we traveled the same road that you are starting out upon.

You are here, and we're glad of it. Since you arrived, timid and shrinking, and first put your foot on the hill, you have become a part of us. You now are one of L. C.'s daughters and our own little sisters.

Dear Freshmen, L. C. welcomes you. We sincerely hope that the glowing ambition which has led you here may ever live. May you be spared the pain of shattered dreams and disillusionement. We want this college to all, and even more than you have expected. To you, every upperclassman pledges her loyal support and promises to do all and everything that is possi- ble in helping you to become orien- tated to college life. You may meet with difficulties now, and you may feel the inevitable pangs of

sickness but they are soon over and forgotten.. We're counting on you to come through with heads no and colors flying.

Freshmen, L. C. is looking to you as a source of unlimited possibili- ties. The other classes are happily anticipating their association with you during this year and others to come- We invite and urge you to step right in and help uphold the glorious traditions of your Alma Mater. You have a part of your own to play, without which we must fail in our highest aims. Let's all work together for a bigger and beter L. C.

October, 1931. THE SCROLL LaGrange College

SOPHOMORE . FRESHMAN WEEK.

What was the meaning of all the commotion on the hill last week? Just why were some of the girls dressed in green frocks with pock- ets and bows conspicuously in the rear? Just why all the different styles of hair dressing? Some in tiny pig-tails, others in long plaits, and still others with high, freakish knots topped with such articles as lamp shades and frying pans" Why the eggs being carried timidly around, and why the still more per- plexing boxes of books, dangerout- ly tilted on the heads of these Cfer- tain girls?

The secret's out. Freshman Ini- tiation! Hence the bowing and scraping to the solemn and digni- fied Sophomores scattered over the campus, some giving order;: and others being highly flattered b y a freshman on bended knees be- ; ginning the pledge of: Mos*-. honor- able Sophomore,—etc.

All Monday and Tuesday the dig- nity of the freshmen lowered and on Wednesday they were lined up single file, ready to begin the grand procession to the heart cf town. Down Broad Street, they went, clutching frantically at a fall- ing head ornament and striving at the same time to manage a large hat-box (containing a buffalo nick- el). Bowing and speaking to every one the dejected line was ordered to the Modern Dairy, where each was given a chocolate milk. All with bottles, alarm clocks ringing .shrilly, penants flying from shoul- ders, and dignified Sophomores giv- ing orders, the line marched down Main Street, stopping at the corner long enough for Freshman Farr to show a nearby policeman the art of directing traffic. The rest of her cronies, watching her from the jwrwi - liftnl tr-rir voices in the Inspirational Hymn for Freshmen: Home, Sweet Home The next stop was the Courthouse Square, where the freshmen displayed their ama- teurish talents. Freshman Farr was again called into the limelight, this time to discuss at length on the topic, "Why I Am the Most At- tractive Co-ed at LaGrange Col- lege" Freshman Jolly next went into Retail on the "Depression ana Its Causes." A vocal number was rendered by Freshmen Berry, Hali, Darby, Linn, and Campbell, led by Freshman Gober, while Freshman McNeil performed a semi-graceful dance. The line then filed off,

ring "Glory, Glory, to the Soph- omores-"

All things must end, and Initia- tion is no exception so at 1 o'clock Friday morning the sleepy-eyed, frightened Freshmen came to be judged before the solemn jury of

Court. After confessing her shortcomings during the entire week, each was assigned some task such as rolling dumb bells "with

lebating on ridiculous top- ics, and otnel" numerous insensible

"tasks. Then the "peace cup" was offered and a sick bunch of Fresh- ies sought the inner recesses of their rooms where they might bar the door and proclaim the mercy which they would show to 'next year's Freshmen.'

WHEN THE BELLS RING OUT FOR THE CENTENNIAL

Our idea of the high hat is the man who eats salted almonds at a baseball game.

One: Did you hear about the girl in the cotton stockings?

Two: No, what happened to her? One: Nothing.

We people on The Hill are feeling the thrill that comes not merely once in a lifetime, but once in a hundred years! The Centennial— that is all we talk and dream and think of now. Many times a day, in *he midst of our regular duties and all the hurry and bustle of prepar- ation, we pause to look proudly up tt our revered old college, to feel <igain the wonder of it all, of know- ing that she has existed and carried on for a century. Our hearts are high with the pride of the heritage ~hat is ours, as the daughters of such an Alma Mater-

The great day is Friday, October the ninth. It begins with an acad- emic procession at nine-thirty, in which our own faculty and all visit- ing professors will take part. This is to be followed by the exercises in the chapel, at which we are to have addresses by Bishop Warren A. Candler, Bishop William Ainsworth, and Dr. Henry Snyder. At one, is the banquet to the alumnae and guests. And at three is the pageant. In this is depicted, by decades, the whole hundred years of the college history. The stage is the lovely, natural one afforded by the South campus, with the tall hedge for a Hack-drop, and the pageant is to be all pantomime, dance, and melody. Miss Singer, her committees, and the girls are all working hard on dances and costumes and stage ef- fects, for the centennial pageant is a big undertaking.

Many times in her hundred years has our Alma Mater been hostess to her friends, the members of her sister colleges, and her beloved graduate daughters, but never with the pride and honor that are hers, upon this occasion. And with love for her and on behalf of her stud- ents the Scroll wishes to say, "Wel- come to all who can come and share with us the glory of Centennial Day."

THE MATHEMATICS CLUB The members of the Mathematics

Club were assembled for the first time this year on Tuesday morning after chapel. The purpose of this meeting was to elect officers and to get organized in order that we may carry on our work this year with the same degree of prestige as that with which we have worked before- And from the selec- tion of officers, we judge, and the fact is easily discernable, that this year is bound to be the best year in the history of the mathletics club.

Those elected to fill the various offices were as follows: President—Sara Whitaker. V.-Pdesident—Mary E. Aycock. Sec. & Treas—Aldyne Jordan. Scroll Reporter—Thelma Harden. Sponsor—'Mr. E. A. Bailey.

The membership of the club is composed of:

Seniors: Aldyne Jordan, Tommy Dunbar, Emily Sewell, Mary Ellen Aycock, Helen Hamilton, Netelle Carley, and Helen Robertson.

Juniors: Sara Whitaker, Thelma Harden.

A call meeting -will be held soon for the purpose of further increas- ing the membership of the club. With these competent officers, this varied group of girls as members, and Mr. Bailey as sponsor, the math- metics club is assured of a year of much advancement and success.

Senior Reporter.

The Juniors returned to the Hill to begin an important year in their college career and found several of their number missing. This loss of members was a serious blow, but the remaining class mates set about with brave spirits to accomplish great things during the year.

They found with delight that they had a few new members each of whom they heartily welcomed into

the class. These girls are interest- ed and enthlsiastic and each in her

own way adds a great deal to the class.

The Junior Class held its election

of officers for this year with the following results:

tent—Winifred Adams.

resident—Thelma Dunbar. Secretary—Mary Johnson.

Treasurer—Mary Florence.

With a capable leader like Wini- fred and her willing corps of offi-

cers the juniors expect a progres-

sive year. They elected as their

sponsor, Miss Dora Sheppard and

they are pleased to announce that

she has accepted.

The new president immediately

appointed committees and began

making plans for the year.

"Hey, Pa, that new neighbor is coming tomorrow."

"You mean to borrow.''

This is station S-O-P-H broadcast- ing from "The Hill." The first thing on the program this evening is to tell the girls of our class who are not back with us this year, how very much we miss their familitr faces and bright, sunny smiles. We ! wish also to take this opportunity j to extend Miss Sue Hutchinson a hearty welcome to our class.

If a girl has ever been a Fresh-; man at L. C. there is a longing in her heart to join her classmates on ' the hill the second year for more reasons than one. Probably you don't understand just yet. Wait and let me see if I can throw any light on the subject.

The Sophs, in order to show their appreciation of good sportsmanship and in order to let the Freshmen know that the Sophomores aren't such terrible creature safter all, gave the Freshman class a kid party in the Gym last. Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. All of the freshmen were dressed as .

little girls with their toys while the' Sophs were dressed as little boys.

After the kiddies had played such games as "Red Hot Supper" "Drop the Handkerchief and "Marching around the Level," they were ready for their suckers.

All of the Freshmen wore such cute costumes it was difficult for the judges to decide which was the cutest. After much deliberation they chose Gertrude Lynn, of At- lanta.

Miss Jones came down and told the Freshmen some stories, after which kiddy cups were served.

At a recent class meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected:

lent, Mary Peavy; Vice-Pres- ident, Carolyn S. Traylor; Treasurer Frances Eberhart; Secretary. Von- ice Ritch; Athletic Representative, Vonice Ritch ;Scroll Reporter, Eve- lyn Varner.

LATIN CLUB MEETS

"Secondly you are being claimed by society, by humanity. You are the summing up of a thousand cur-

- of life, to go back only two hundred years. Humanity steps for- ward this morning to crown you be- cause of this many sided gift you hold. How are you going to acknow- ledge the claim of these who claim you because of this priceless gift you hold in your grasp? Does one whose goods are of the greatest value have to cry them aloud in the market place? It is usually the one whose goods arc who cries the loudest. The best way to ack- nowledge this claim is not to do a

deal of loud talking about it, but to answer it in terms of shining

noble

He used the figure of Florence I ingale with her lamp caring for

the soldiers in refering to students arering this claim- "I think of

» he said "realizing humanity's on you, and my wish for you

is that each of you may become the of the Lamp, a lady who is not

content until her light shines bright- ,iong others." 9

Rev. Dallas closed his talk picture of the Master as the

greatest claimant. "This last claim- ant" he said "is not a person, not an institution. He is a crowned claimant'. His name is Jesus. He comes this morning to assert His claim, saying, 'I want you.' He is the greatest claimant of all. How shall you acknowledge that which rises out of His love for us? Your best acknowledgement is a recipro- cal love, by loving Him, by letting your life become mollified by His pirit, by letting your life become softened by coming into contact with His loving heart-

May God help you to acknowledge every claim that is placed upon you, but chiefly, to answer the greatest claim of all in your heart and spirit and every phase of your life, so rich with promise for the days to come-"

The students were welcomed by Mrs. T. E. Parhill, from the local chapter of the alumnae- "You might thing of this as a common- place ocasion," she said, "but to us it is full of joy. The calendar tells us that this is the time of fall and the meloncholy days of which the poets write, but to us it is the time when the sunshine is brightest be- cause you have returned with your sunny faces and smiles. You have been civen the great opportunity of being here to write the closing chapter of a century of Christian ducation- We hope that you a

glad to be here as we are cnarmed

to have you."

Miss Katherine Rogers, Mount- ville, president of the V. W. Association welcomed the students in behalf of the organization. "We just want to say that wo are g'ad that you arc hove. Wo want to serve you in our cabinet, in our "i room. Our purpose this year is to build our personalities around the

Our most enthusiastic sponsor, Dr. Wilson, gave a very interesting diseus-sion on Urania, the Muse of

momy. After hearing Dr. Danielsville, Mary Ellen Aycock, Wilson's discussion, each member of the Club became more interested than ever before in Muses.

It was immediately resolved that

the study of the nine Muses would

be adopted in the order of their

►rtance. Each member of the Societas Mi-

nervae wishes to do everything that

she can to help promote the interest

of the Club. An interesting dis-

cussion concerning a Latin Club

room was advanced-

The Club decided that

"Y" HONORS NEW GIRLS WITH JAPANESE RECEPTION

we would have a club room as a definite meeting place and that from this time henceforth the club would

meet in the evening- A committee

was appointed to decide the exact

time suitable for meetings-

After singing Audiensus the club

adjourned for the social hour.

Rebecca Hart and Nell Cole as

hostesses served delicious Eskimo

pies. I'm sure that every member

of the club agrees with me that the

first meeting of the Societas Miner-

vae was a great success in every

way.
