Dress right I Front ! Roll is called, then- Right face, forward march ! A group of comely, whiteclad girls march around the room two or three times. Down the center in fours-Left, Right, Left, Right-First four mark time-Left, Right Left, Right, Halt! One Two! After about twenty minutes of strenuous-Oh you don't think they're strenuous? All right, you try this. Bend your knees, place your hands flat on the floor in front of your feet, and then straighten your knees. As I was saying, after the strenuous exercise QI knew you'd agreel comes- Forward march! Left, Right, Left, Right! To the rear, March! Left, Right, Left, Right! Fours quarter WOfkIng Hard wheel right, march! One, Two, Three, Four! Left, Right, Left, Right! - until the words- Fall in! are heard. Captains forward! is the signal for the mad scramble to get started playing basketball.Almost no sooner are they started thanthe fifteen 'till three bell rings. Again comes the famil- iar Fall in ! After the group is once more stretched along the length of the floor- Right face! Forward march! Run around the room ! -and they run! Those who can't take it drop out of line until- Excused! Then and only then, do they show speed. Under the showers cry upon cry is heard, Turn on the warm water! Those who brave the cold water come out shaking and shivering. Amid the off-tune singing and shrill gossiping, some-one yells, What time is it? Almost three! A hurried dash of powder, a quick job of running a comb through the hair, a dab of lipstick, and out they go to make a mad dash across the street to class. Honestly, this isn't a glimpse of the inside of the state prison for Wayward girls, but an average hour of classwork in one of the juco girls' gym classes. PAGE 27

Did you ever try to keep up with Albert Lambert and Sara Stanley telling jokes? The hostesses for the dinner club meetings usually try to put Miss Stanley and Lambert at opposite ends of the table, for if they were put together there's no telling who would win the Verbal race and certainly it would be bad to have a feud within the club. The club meets around the dinner table once a month and there puts to practice the principles of social speaking they study in class- the members of the Dinner Club are in the public speaking class. These speakers are busy people. Besides eating they work up several plays during the year, sponsor at least one chapel program, and sponsor the Misner Players, who bring Shakespeare to students. One of the most interesting meetings of this club year was a Christmas dinner eaten in room six. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth, sponsor, had decorated the room with candles and a Christmas tree. In the flickering light the group told of their favorite Christmas memory, Yuletide stories, and exchanged gifts. Virginia Holman was president of the group for the year 1938. Fredrica Hutto was vice-president, Captola Shelhamer, secretary, Veda Burks, GY S PGEBC E n G E at treasurer and Albert Lambert general handy-man. One of the outstanding projects of the year was the presentation of choral readings. This is the third year Miss Sleeth has coached her class in this art, and it seems to grow on those who study it. Choral reading was started in England several years ago by a woman who wished to give poetry back to the common people. Poetry was meant to be read aloud but we have gotten into the habit of always reading it silently. In a choral reading the variety of tone color in pitch creates an unusual and interesting effect. Members of the class are Doris Easterly, Verneda Kittrell, Esther Weekley, Ogla Bays, Merna Wright, Ruby Counts, Sara Stanley, Albert Lambert, David Holland, Clarence Rambo, Dorothy Heathman, Mary Jane Ralf, Edith Rymph, Captola Shelhamer, and Virginia Holman. .
