bers Present Good Program In Chapel

On Friday morning November 29th, Miss Arabella Waller and Miss Doro- thy Cornell were presented to the stu- dent body as prospective Members of the Aeolian Club. As their initiation program in chapel Miss Waller, ac- companied by Miss Cornell sang two selections, "Reve D'un Soir" by Cham- inade and "The Bird and the Rose" by Amy E. Hanocks. Miss Cornell gave as a piano selection one of the Beeth- oven Sonatas.

Both girls were exceptionally good and the program was enjoyed thor- oughly by everyone.

Miss Waller and Miss Cornell are to be congratulated since it is quite an honor to be asked to be a member of the Aeolidn Club. Its membership consists of only those who are especial- ly talented in music. .-

Saturday, with the thermometer re- gistering barely zero, the Harrison- burg Varsity defeated the Alumnae in the annual Thanksgiving classic. The game was marked with much unusual playing the most of which was a touch- down registered by Miss Marbut on a forward pass from Lorraine Gentis. The Alumnae thus maintained on their ground the score should be 8 to 3 but the score, since the contest was one of Hockey rules was # to 2 in favoring H. T. C. varsity.

The Alumnae team was in unusual- ly good condition and displayed top- notch form on the field. They had a slight edge on the Varsity, however, having with them Miss Marbut and Miss Fames, coaches at H. T. C. and Miss Rath coach at Hollins. The var- sity was not dismayed, and proving what strict training and much practice could do, tallied the winning score late in the last half.

W. Doan and Helen Goodson were responsible for the Alumnae's scores which came early in the second half when a great comback was staged. The varsity's first markers were made soon at the start of the game by Evelyn Bowers and Martha Warren. Bowers also scored the last goal. —['

The varsity somewhat, handicapped by Mary Watt being out of the game, showed good passwork and executed some clever passes and dribbles.

Elizabeth Miller, captain of the var- sity was unable to arrive in time to play so Lorraine Gintes was elected temporary captain.

JACKSON GIRLS ARE "AT HOME"; MANY AT-

Quaintly old-fashioned was the "at home" held at Jackson Hall on last Friday evening, November 22. An atmosphere of the traditional southern hospitality prevailed the whole gather- ing. The falling snow added to rather than deminished the pleasure of the evening. Mary Swartz and Doro- thy Wright, costumed as colonial char- acters, greeted the guests at the door. Miss Turner, as hostess of the hall, re- ceived the visitors.

In the room directly across from the entrance, made for that occasion into a reception room, refreshments were served. Upstairs, a phonograph play- ed lovely music for dancing couples. A solo dance was gracefully given by Elaine Hupp., The girls of Jackson Hall escorted faculty members and

The member of the Athletic Coun- cil were hostesses to the visiting Alum- nae during the Thanksgiving holidays. H. T. C. was glad to welcome the re- turn of the following old girls: W. Doan, Mary Fray, Lorraine Gentis, Helen Goodson, Lee Harris, Delphine Hurst, Audrey Hyatt, Ethel Nilam, Florence Mitchell, Charlotte Wilson, Frances Rand, Dot Wheeler, Clelia Heizer, Mary Ferebee, Charlotte Wil- son, Jack Weems, Mary Ruth Fuller and "Libber" Miller.

The girls were made to feel at home, and were never given an op- portunity to get lonesome due to the continuous line of girls dropping in to talk over old times or view experi- ences. They were entertained with a delightful turkey dinner served in the Blue Stone Dining Hall Thursday. On Friday night they enjoyed the movie at the Virginia Theater.

After the game Saturday afternoon, in the Reception Room of Alumnae Hall, the Alumnae Committee of the Y. W. Cabinet were hostesses at a de- lightful tea in honor of the Alumnae and varsity teams. Miss Wilson pre- sided at the tea table. The glowing fire in the open fireplace was very at- tractive as well as cosy and warm.

Reluctantly many girls of the stu- dent body saw the cars of the Alumnae friends leave Sunday afternoon, feel- ing that their holiday had been made complete by their presence of our "old girls" on the campus all again.

Governor Allen in a radio broadcast said "We were filled with pride when our flag was planted by you at the North Pole and again tonight Novem- ber 30th. our hearts are thrilled with the same favor at the news that you have completed your successful flight over the South Pole." Commander Byrd is the. only man to have flown over both the North and South Poles.

The speaker in Chapel, Wednesday, was Mrs. Harry Semones, of Roanoke, founder and first president of the Par- ent-Teachers Association.

In her address she spoke on the im- portance of the Association to us. In twenty-six countries home and school are united. The association is non political, non secretariat has no com- mercial aspects, and is wholly demo- cratic.

The keynote of £he organization is that it goes to the individual child Which is, of course, entirely in keeping with modern progressive methods in education.

Men and women give voluntary ser- vice to the cause of the Parent-Teach- ers Association because they are fired by its ideals and possibilities for the betterment 6f the nation.

Mrs. Semones quoted the following prominant leaders and educators as follows: «

To my mind the parent-teachers as- sociations of this country are one of the most important movements at work for our national betterment.-- Hon. John J. Davis, SfccreiarjLof Labor.

One of the most intelligent and common movements that has ever been formed is the organization of the par- ent-teachers associations. What the normal schools do for the teacher, the parent-teacher association is trying to do for the parent.—Dr. Frank Crane.

Like the development of the public school system tself, and perhaps next in significance, the development of the parent-teacher association is an in- dication of the attitude of the Ameri- can people toward education. The spirit of cooperation marks every im- portant utterance and every important action of the organization.—Editorial from School Lire.

The National Congress of Parents and Teachers is a marvelous educa- tional achievement. If there is any human organization of the century which is heaven born it is the parent- teacher association, whose mission is solving problems of babyhood, child- hood and youth in the greatest crisis in human affairs that America has known. There is no more, important organization in America today.—A. E. Winship, ^Editor, Journal of Educa- tion, Boston, Mass.

Mrs. Semones closed with this quota- tion:

"Where are you gonig greatheart? To lifUto-day above the past— To make to-morrow sure and fast - To nail God's colors to the mast? Then God go with you, Greatheart." The Parent Teacher Association in

nation wide and is a growing organi-

zation. Several members of our faculty are

closely connected with it. Dr. Gifford is state chairman of the Standing Committee of the Parent Teacher As- sociation in High Schools. Miss Julia Robertson is chairman of Committee for Home Economics. Mrs. Mabee is director of the seventh district.

Friday night marked the opening of the winter social activities on cam- pus with the Annual Bazarr. The gym was invitingly decorated in Jap- anese fashion with lanterns, streamers and flowers. Japanese gifts and other Christmas suggestions were displayed attractively around the room. Dur- ing the entire course of the evening refreshments were sold and the col- lege orchestra furnished the dance music. •

The various organizations on cam- pus presented several original and well planned stunts. Prizes were of- fered for the most original and best developed stunts. The Page Literary Society presented "A Girl For Every Month" sung by Phyllis Palmer as the man.

The Lee Literary Society gave an old-fashioned and modern version of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. Jimmie Knight as Romeo and Nellie Cowen as Juliet represented the old fashioned while the modern- ists were played by Esther Smith as Romeo and Mary Crane as Juliet.

The Lanier Literary Society de- lighted those present with an original interpretation of an incident in the early life of Sidney Lanier.

The Freshman Class added variety and pleasure to the program with their presentation. An old girl of H. T. C. as telling a New-Girl-to-be all about.campus life and activities. As the story was told the incidents were visualized by members of the class acting the parts.

An added feature of the evening was the famous Dr. Pickettine who told fortunes to all those present. At the close of the Bazaar a cake was rained off by members of the School- ma'am staff and the prizes for the

I Poster contest were awarded.

FASHION SHOW BRINGS ATTRACTIVE COTTON

PRODUCTS FOR DRESS An interesting entertainment was

given in Reed Hall at 4; 30 on Monday afternoon in the form of a fashion show. Miss Cleveland, representa- tive of the New York, Cotton Institute gave a very attractive talk in regard Jo present day. fashion. As various types of dress were exhibited by models, she explained certain points of interest pertaining to each style.. Sport clothes, afternoon dresses, and evening dresses for both winter and summer were shown. The materials, which were all of cotton, were very ef- fective. Some of the different fabrics used were velveteen, pique, "prints," and organdie.

THREE STUDENTS IN HOME HOSPITALS

The Thanksgiving holidays took its full toll of appendicitis victims. Three H. T. C. girls are in hospitals at home recovering from operations perform- ed during the past few days.

The unfortunates are Frances Sny- der of Roanoke, Louise Harwell, of Petersburg and Rachel Brothers, of Whaleyville. Friends will be glad to know that the girls are getting along well.

Is it to take off our shoes and tread with reverence the holy ground made sacred by the labor and suffering of the pioneer. Is it to mingle our sweat with the sweat of the 100,000 slaves who toiled thirty years on the Great Pyramid in producing some work, tangible or intangible, which shall be of permanent value and help to preserve the sentiments and thoughts of the present for the future. It is to memorize a lullaby with which a hundred million mothers have crooned their babies to sleep. It is to appreciate a picture which detaches and lifts outs of the confusing, distracting details of everyday life some great ideal. It is to let the dock laborer or the lumber- jack introduce us to that multitude of homeless, wifeless, childless men men who are ready to curse God and die. It is to walk the streets with the throng, and to find the meaning of life, vicariously at least, through sharing their purposefulness, even their desperation. It is to have a religious experience so sound that the gates of hill and the ministerial association combined can-|b'er navies, not prevail against it.

THAT THANKSGIVING SPIRIT The Thanksgiving season has passed.' The foot ball, the collegiate ar-

ray of coonskins and school colors flaunted from low-slung roadsters, the browned turkey, the holiday spirit are all gone for the time being.

However, the factor that makes Thanksgiving a holiday, a time observed nationally, should be still in our hearts. There it should remain—that spirit of Thanksgiving with which the holiday was incorporated. William Bradford and his hardy, sturdy, God-fearing Puritan Tribe sat down to their meal with praise and thankfulness on their lips. Time with its changes has brought a multitude of fortunes, hope, and good luck to the world. Thus, should we not, with a smile on our lips, understanding and sympathy and love and thankfulness in our eyes for the wonders wrought for us, go as we know best through life?

Let's remember that Spirit. Thanksgiving should be a national feeling of permanence, a spirit in which we shall be thankful, giving our best in return for the beauty and kindness and comfort that has geen given us. •

TO ONE LOVING You do not understand my way! How can I blame you, dear, If you can't always see the

things I see, Or listen to the sounds I hear? To you the moon is just a moon, The stars were planets of the

night; But when I look—a fairy lamp, And mystic silvery sparkles of

delight. You smile to hear me speak of

mermaid songs Within the hollow of a pearly

shell, And shake your head in doubt O'er subtle tales the giant

mountains tell.

Now—could you always live and love

A strange and foolish one like me,

Who'd probably leave the pies unbaked

In thinking thoughts about the. sea?

And could your nerves endure the strain

If before the dishes had been done

I'd leave them all and hurry out. To glmpse the setting of the

sun?

But if you want me—t's a go— For somehow we belong—you

CHECKING UP > Organizations before the end of each quarter check up in regard to

number of members, finances, and activities. This quarter serious considera- tion is to be given each one in particular reference to the worth of Activities.

The worth of activities is a rather valuable consideration in regard to an individual also. "We may have worke<J, accomplished a lot of work, ap- parently, but what have we gained is the vital point. Have we gotten any- where? Have we attained that for which we set out?

Plodding along is said to be of value in the end, but the combination of plodding and looking ahead is the more sensible plan. In looking ahead, we naturally have to "check up" to see if we're going in the right direction and in the best way. As we journey on, and reach one, two, three milestones, we look back to see the way in which we have come.

Thus, as we reach the end of the quarter, let us look back for a mile- stone, and see what our accomplishment has been. Let's check up, so that we may measure our future efforts by our "cTiecks."

Youngster—"Father, there's a bug on the ceiling."

Absent-minded Professor— "Well, step on it and leave me alone."

you weren't such a liar." —Yellow Jacket.

HOW MANY "DOWNS"? At the time of this issue we have exactly twelve more days before Christ-

mas. In other words—"12 to go!" In football terminology, that "12 to go 'sounds familiar, but so much "down" usually precedes the well-known phrase. How many "downs" do we have?

In football, after that certain number of downs, the ball goes to the otherside, consequently, as much gain as possible is made in the allotted num- ber of gains. In this game of "before Christmas," we have "twelve to go"! Let's make good that time in our number of downs—we must make that gain that means success for us. Work to be done, preparation for examinations, papers, reports and reviers to be written are our gain, if we accomplish what is set before us to do. Just as in football, every minutes counts.

This—just as in football, let's make that gain in good time, on our "twelve to go!"

Dear A. N. T. - Why not T. N. T.? Perhaps you

wish you could gently plan a little T. N. T. or nitro-glycerine under the forms of the ants, which haunt your boudoir-bedroom-kitchenette. It looks to me as though you've just going to have to buy them swiming suits and ice skates and tell them to go to it. If you wish to do your boy scout duty each day you might have special bowls of water and invite them to swim and skate to their hearts content. You might even serve bits of your choice boxes for refreshment. It would be such a pretty sight for all the ants to be swimming around in their gayly colored suits. You might sprinkly sand around the edges of the bowl where little Ruth Red Ant and Little Billy Black Ant could play.

Dear just give them a good-time. Tell them to jump into their Brad- leys and get out into the great out- doors (with emphasis on the outdoors) Who knows but that they may be so touched by your kindness that they will leave you forever.

Yours for more polite ants. Love Aunt Prunella.

NEW YORK COTTON INSTITUTE REPRESEN-

TATIVE TALKS HERE

Miss Catherine Cleveland of the New York Cotton Institute, New York City, gave a lecture on cotton and its uses in Chapel, Monday. .

To illustrate her lecture she gave a style show displaying a beautiful vari- ety of different cotton materials mode into summer and winter frocks. Some of the materials featured were vel- veteen, ^ateen, pique and organdies.

Miss Cleveland explained wherein the frocks were in harmony with the newest styles. The princess line was much in evidence. Many of the frocks

■were made interesting by their uni- que trimmings. Many prints were dis- played in dark colors for winter as well as the lighter ones for summer.

Particularly striking outfits which were displayed were beach pajamas in a striking yellow and whits pattern; a camping ensemble of tan and brown, and a quilted lounging robe. Some very distinct long organdie evening dresses were shown.

Miss Cleveland was brought here by the textile class of the Home Econo- mics department.

Dotyou feel that you hold the situa- tions that come along in your life en- tirely in your own hands, or do you some times feel that if it were not for someone who stood behind you that you .would have little or no idea of which way to turn? The purpose of education is to put tools into your hands that can be used in later life's more complex situations.- Now we have come to college where we must begin to use these tools and to use them with more anre expertness. These situations where we find our- "«lves looking to something within for help, are going to prove, by the means in which they are met, whether we have learned to use what has been put within our reach. Let us meet our situations ourselves and cope with them with our own knowledge. It is in this way that we can say, "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

The "Open house" was only closed after all the visitors were forced to leave and go to their own dormitories.

With the opening of the fall session of Wake Forest College, the "Shirt- Tail Parade" has been abolished for- ever from the traditional place it has occupied during the fall of each new term. Due to the ill repute resulting from this practice in time past, the present sophomore class voted unani- mously°last spring to discontinue this form of the initiation of the freshmen.

Part Seven Ted followed Bill Graham, debating

"Where did you find it?" she asked and handed it back to him. Bill fold- ed it again and put It back in his pocket.

"I found it last summer," he said. I shall see you off in the morning."

She was like a child, alone for a while.

Ted was defiant—but also silent. Bill went on.

"I am convinced that you are pull- ing some big stunt that is not entire- ly singlehanded. There is some mo- tive in your disguise and it is not from a purely adventurous standpoint. I feel sure. My convictions are that you would not put yourself in such a portion out of mere "adventure or girlish curiosity. you than that." Ted listened intent- ly.

She must confess now. What an egg he had turned out to be. The presi- dent spoke—

Your motive has not been included in our informa- tion, but we have come to find it and to deal with you accordingly. Yon wijl please be brief, it will save you a great deal—it may save you some embarassimen't." Th.e_.five were too serious, they were mad. Ted was mad too, Imagine anyone doing a thing like this. It was cowardly. She hat- ed Bill Her eyes told him so. They did not meet the eyes of a coward though. They met jippealing, under-

I'll admit I'm not a boy," she said. Bill raised his head but she, kept on.

; "I am Thedora Saume from Chalane. j You may deal out your punishment now. Nothing could be worse than these past two weeks," she paused. "I shall not disclose my motive how- ever as I am not at liberty to do so." The five boys looked at each other and the president leaned towards her. They knew of things like this before.

"Then do you know what we will do, Miss Saume? It will be publicly announced before the students and the faculty to-morrow and they shall be the ones to judge. One of your sort can not and will not go absolute- ly free after such a deed. The mo- tive is clear enough. You meant to bring shame to Elmerson in the name of Chalane!"

The color left Ted's face. Anger mounted in her, the same spirit that had been her doom before arose in her. Damn it—if they couldn't-be de- cent about it she wouldn't either. She'd spring her line of attack and watch them retreat. She looked at Bill di- rectly, with anger and triumph in her eyes.

NEW TEACHERS PENSION PLAN

A new plan placing the teachers pension system on a firmer basis was voted on by the Virginia Education Association at the final session Nov. 30, of the twenty-third annual con- vention held in Richmond.

The plan provides for deducting five percent annually instead of the pre- sent one percent from the 16,000 pub- lic school teachers for the teachers pension. This will go through pro- vided the state match the fund.

The association also expressed the opinion that "Inequalities in educa- tional offerings and opportunities must continue unless the State provided the means of correction."
