f ■ v. SILHO THE SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION GEORGIA STUDENTS ' MISSIONARY LEAGUE ROME, GEORGIA NOVEMBER 8, 9 and 10, 1912 DELEGATES LAURA MEL TOWERS CHARLOTTE JACKSON FRANCES DUKES SALLIE CARR RE RUTH BLUE CHARIS HOOD MARTHA BRENNER MARY KELLY MISS EDITH APPLEYARD, Chaperon Always will November the eighth, ninth and tenth, of the year nineteen hundred and twelve, stand out as the happiest and most well-spent days in the lives of nine persons who were so fortunate as to attend the Georgia Students ' Missionary League at Rome. So much happened in those few days, each moment being filled with something that we wanted to remember to bring back to our fellow-students. And oh ! how we longed for each girl at Agnes Scott to share with us those inspiring gatherings where our souls came in touch with such wonderful and enthusiastic men as Rev. Chas. Hounshell, Dr. F. W. Ayers, and Prof. Chas. R. Foster and others. Never can we tell of the feeling which overcame vis when we visited the Berry School. This is such a wonderful place and we, as Agnes Scott girls, feel a keen interest in this school. Girls could not be more enthusiastic than we are. The atmosphere of the whole Convention was overpowering. The gathering of so many students, all with the same purpose, brought more clearly than ever to each delegate the truth of this purpose and what it really means to us and especially to others. No college could have been more hospitable than Shorter ; none could have been more suited for the Convention ; and no days could have been more profit- ably spent than those memorable days of the 1912 Convention. 24

Scene 4 g t)t MtttfS g orietp Everygirl passes by on a rush with Society. Homesickness, deserted, weeps. Homesickness (between sobs): Xow Everygirl is rushing round so much, She treats me like a dog, I do declare. She ' s going out to walks and feasts and such, And she doesn ' t see poor Homesickness in there. She talks with all the other Innocents ; They simply can not tell you what to do, For they all know green stands for ignorance ' And yet you feel homesick if you are blue. {Continued on Page .
