COME ONE, COME ALL RARE BARGAINS SENIOR RUMNIAGE SALE GREAT CROVVDS VISIT SENIOR NOTION COUNTER BIANY PURCHASES OF USEFUL ARTICLES MADE. fSpecial to the Statel lX'Iay 27, Due West, S. C. There was an exciting scene before the doors of Carnegie Hall at 4 P. M. Long lines of girls and teachers were packed closely against the door, pushing and jostling, trying to get to the front. At length the notion counter was ready. Bliss Eliabeth Tribble was general man- ager. lN'Iiss Ruth Boggs was Cashier, making her last stand as holder of the money bag. lyliss Wilmot VVhitesides stood at the wrapping counter, seeing that each article was tested and wrapped in best wishes from the Senior Class. To tell how the crowd swooped down upon the notion counter and how each found the things that suited her or that she needed, would be a hard task for a re- porter with only two eyes, to describe. The first one that found a suitable article was lVIiss Abernathy. She grabbed the monacle and spectacles tied with yards of black ribbon which former- ly belonged to lyliss Bessie Potts. She rushed to Cashier Boggs, but there found that she could not pay for them that day as each article was not to be paid for in greenbacks but in good will to the Senior Class. lldiss Sheffield seemed to be searching diligently for something important, but could not find it. llfliss Tribble went to her aid. Nliss Sheffield said that she was looking for another sister to edu- cate. There was no such article left, but NIiss Tribble showed her a little comet hanging by its tail. Bliss Sheffield grabbed this and went off exceedingly happy. llfliss Sheffield already had a large deposit at the Cashier's desk. The whole Junior Class seemed to be lugging a bulky package. Some one said that it was the Seniors' luck at basket ball in 1920, but it is not known for cer- tain. It was already paid for in good will from the Juniors, so Cashier Boggs merely nodded as they passed Miss VVilliard Knight was rejoiced over a purchase she had made. Her package was a pair of high heels which originally belonged to Bliss Sarah Pat- rick. There was an odd looking package upon the counter which seemed about to spill. lVIargaret lVIcCord quietly asked what it was. She found that it was a package of lVIiss Grace SheHield's left over words, which she had not had time to use. lVIiss McCord immediately had this wrapped up for her in best wishes from the Seniors. Miss Grace Cashion purchased llliss Nlary Belle Hood's bun- dle of Cousins. lVIiss Janet hloore claimed Miss Lillian Singleton's position on the Blue Ridge VVorking Force. Page Forty-eight

Senior Class P oem Who says that our work is over When our College days are through, With our girlhood days behind us- The bright days and the blue? VVho says our tasks are hnished, Before we yet have tested life? Can we bear the name of victors VVhen we have not met the strife? Today the gates will close behind usg VVe stand where the brook and river meet. This is the burden of our song- We take life's cares and hardships, To live the pure and speak the true, And in the world to right the wrong. As the rose, clean and unspotted, With its whiteness unmarred by sin, Shall We keep our souls all pure God overhead, His love within. We shall strive to lift the darkness To make this earth more than just earth, And of the years of patient training We shall try to prove the worth. Unto you, our dear Alma llflater, We shall live forever true, And show to all the world of men That we have been with you. And from o'er flowing hearts we pray Once more to you-- Caress us! With low bowed heads today we stand Awaiting you to bless us. VIRGINIA GALLOWAY, '2O. Page F arty-sefven

Bliss Allie Rush bought Bliss Grace Donnald's stinging sarcasm, as Bliss Rush felt she needed this badly. The doors closed promptly and many had to lay their packages down and come back on the morrow. CSpecial to the Statel Due VVest, S. C., Blay 28. The great notion sale of the Seniors is progressing exceedingly well. Une ar- ticle seemed to be attracting the atten- tion of many who were clamoring for it. Bliss Eunice BlcElvey already had it in her hands, for she found it was a flash- light which formerly belonged to Bliss Lillian Clinkscales, the class sponsor. Bliss BlcElvey desired to use it to keep her from kicking boxes down the stairs at night. Bliss Dora Elizabeth Pressly inquired if any one had seen Bliss Virginia Reids long tall man anywhere. She soon found that that was not one of Bliss Reid's left-overs. Bliss Blargaret Robinson found the remains of Bliss Rose Burns' Soothing Syrup for Freshmanl' and immediately purchased it. Bliss Katherine Pressly bought Bfliss Pearle Dale's fondness for Pelicans. lVliss Dale, needing no other Fee, made no charges. A package containing remnants of soirees, wickets, text books, Y. W. C. A. pamphlets, hard work, an old tennis racket, letters, and several remains of Erskine Society pins, all left over from a good time which formally belonged to Bfliss Lilla Templeton, was purchased by Bliss Belle Dale. One package seemed to elude the grasp of many. Bliss Analine B'lcCrory final- ly captured it and found ig to be the swiftness of Bliss Pearle Dale and Bflar- garet Dallas. Bliss Emmie Lou Ed- munds got at a bargain price the picture hats of Bliss Ruth Pratt. Bliss Lois Pressly eagerly grasped Bliss Sudie Blilford's week-end trips, for she was anxious to go home to see her mother in Oklahoma as often as possible. Bliss Blargaret Phillips selected Miss Virginia Galloway's ability to slip out of tight places. Bliss Elizabeth Blann found the ques- tion box of Bliss Laura jane lVlullen as her possession. Bliss Essie DuPre' was hunting Bliss Elizabeth Cathcart's baseball pitcher, but found he was still in pitch with Bliss Cathcart. Bliss Olanda McQueen decided to continue Bliss Laura Hill's subscription to the Nashville Banner, thinking it might have several love stories in it. A group of Juniors seemed to be ex- amining a package very carefully. It was found to be The Arrow which had pierced the purse of the Senior Class. There was much putting of heads to- gether, many perplexed looks, intense whispers, thoughtful weighing of prob- lems. But, finally this countenance changed and with an expression of calm determination, they boldly came to the counter and made the purchase. At this time the doors again closed and the friends went to their homes hap- py over their purchases. May 29, The Great Senior Bargain Counter was closed today as all of the articles were sold out yesterday. The sale was one of the most successful events of the season and was of great benefit to all who made purchases. LILA BONNER, '20. Page Forty nine
