It lies behind you as the foundation of your future living. I salute you this day of your graduation. Per- haps it is my frame of mind, but the dolorous tones of the speaker sound more as though he were saying, You who are about to die, I salute you. Nevertheless, we sixty-one seniors listen attentively, for this is the graduating address to us, the class of 1940. Those first words awaken in my mind a panorama of events. As a scries of flashes, I see scene after scene changed. We bewildered, but would-be enthusiastic, freshmen duly reported for all ori- entation lectures; between times, dancing, picnicking, attending parties, and, most important of all, becoming acquainted. What ' s your name? and Where are you from? no longer held the significance of the game Bum, Bum. Bum; but now it meant meeting a new girl, or maybe the same girl for the fifth time. At the end of the second week, decision day over and our schedules on file, we were on class discussing in the most vague of ways the atomic theory or the Treaty of Versailles. By the time Freshman-Sophomore Day came around, everyone knew everyone else, we thought; and so we could laugh at each other ' s ugliness pro tern, only to be reprimanded by our superiors, the mighty sophomores. There surged up in our minds the thought that some day we would be able to take revenge. And so we were; but not until we had become thoroughly initiated into the traditions and plans of the college. There was our first Christmas party to attend, our Thurs- day formal dinners once each month, our athletic picnic, the various tournaments (how happy we were at winning the basketball championship! ), and Greensboro College Day. Most of us wrote home. There ' s something doing all the time — there just isn ' t time to be homesick. Perhaps the greatest event for us was our Freshman-Sophomore dance — the first dance ever held in the college. Such an array of flowers, excited Juliets, and beau brummels had seldom been seen on the campus. Those recollections of our freshman year have a certain significant meaning which we cannot attribute to any other time. As an organized class, we owe our thanks to Winifred Bryan of Hickory, appointed chairman and later elected pres- ident of the class. The following fall we entered as the almighty sophomore class. ( Imagine such insolence as one of the freshmen asking if this were not your first year here! ) We had our dreamed-of revenge on freshman-sophomore day. Grace Taylor proved to be as capable a president as we had thought she would be. Again we had our dances and parties; again we attended classes, labs, and club meetings; again we were a part of Greensboro College. Our prowess as soccer players was first exhibited this year when we emerged vic- torious in a hard-fought tournament. This record we were to hold the following years. This year marked the lOOth-anniversary of the founding of the college. Under the direction of an executive committee composed of members of the class and Miss Bess Breedlove, our adviser, we planned a centennial project for our class. There was a satisfaction in seeing on the final day of celebration the unveiling of the por- trait of Nancy W. Keene Langhorne, Mother of Lady Astor and an alumna of the college. This represented our completed project. I recall a certain midnight in the spring of this year when two groups met on the campus, a feeling of mystery hanging over us — for we were one group; and on this night our sister class was to tell us the secret of the even-year classes. On the morning of graduation we were snatched from the arms of Morpheus about 4 o ' clock to go out and pick daisies. The remainder of the morning was spent in making the traditional daisy chain and pressing white dresses. In the afternoon there was rain, but our fears were dispelled when the sun burst forth just at the time we were to march out with our chain to make the figures 1838 and 1938. Here was represented not only a century of work in the educa- tional field but many hours of work in the daisy fields. I n our junior year we came to feel that we were truly part of the integral be- ing of the college. Our president. Margaret Anderson, had written each of us who our little sister would be; so when we arrived on the campus there was a mad rush to meet them. There followed the usual process of registration. This year each began to work toward a definite major and minor. At the first athletic banquet to be held, La Von Osborne was announced as hav- ing been chosen Miss G.C. This banquet and our two dances, inter-society and Junior-Senior, were the high lights of the year. Of course, there were the annual events — Greensboro College Day. and May Day. not excluding exams. This year Margaret Anderson was elected president of the Student ' s Associa- tion for the coming year; Jewel Clifton, president of the Athletic Association; Whit Gurley, president of the Y.M.C.A.; Janet Thomas, editor of the Collegian; Becky Fulghum, editor of the Echo: Lib Gabriel, president of the Emersons; and Grace Taylor, president of the Irvings. In the fall of 1939, sixty-one members of the class returned as seniors. During the summer, Miriam Gibbs, one of our outstanding members, succumbed after a short illness. We hope our senior dignity in some measure equals our freshman enthusiasm. We hardly dare make comparisons. With our president, Henrietta Hines, leading us, we received our caps and gowns on February 6. At a meeting of the class, Grace Taylor was chosen to be May Queen. Each Thursday we assumed the role of dignified seniors and marched into chapel, robed as we are tonight while we listen to this address. This thought brings me back to the present. I have not followed the speaker: but his thoughts and mine must be nearly synonomous, for he is speaking of in- debtedness, appreciation, and loyalty, and I realize that in years to come, just as today, such sentiments as these shall dominate our interest in our alma mater.

STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION We have what is known as an Executive Council, as well as a Council proper. No. we didn ' t know about that high-rounding designation either — that is, not until Anderson told us. The Executive Council for this year included these officers of the Student Government: OFFICERS Margaret Anderson Dorothy Plonk Ruth Slocumb Weleska Pegram President Vice-President Second Vice-President Recording Secretary ANNE EXUM . Corresponding Secretary SADIE WOLFE . Treasurer HELEN HARKRADER Town Girls ' Representative The Council proper included the above officers and the following house presidents: Julia Harriett Mam Building Margaret Morrison Hudson Hall Lillie Brown Fitzgerald Hall Ida June Randolph ....... .107 Odell Place Bl-RVL Graham Practice House Dorothy Moore 120 College Place Dorothy Smith 116 College Place STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION What about Student Government in 1939-1940? Say, don ' t you remember, way back more than a year ago, we elected Anderson unanimously? We had a lurking suspicion then that she could put it over — and she has! A toast to you. Anderson, and to the Council for your work this year in hanging on to the good and reducing the bad. Walking down the hall of Main this winter, we came to a door labeled Students ' Association Office (in green ink I . Being curious souls, we walked in and had a swell time! Sure, we did. No. we weren ' t called up: we just walked in. They like you to do that, you know. They looked so dignified. Fourteen green-robed councillors sitting around a long polished table with Handbooks and notes spread out in front of them. They were discussing the case of poor Annabelle Jarvis who thought that freshmen had four ten-twenties. Slo cumb told me about their Christmas party. Poor things! Almost had to fire themselves. The cider was so-o-o-o good. Hie! Don ' t get the wrong idea. The Council has gone far this year and has inculcated some high ideals of Student Government into us. I noticed a new set of house presidents at yesterday ' s Students ' meeting: Evelyn Chandler. Lib Kendrick. Carey Atkins. Lois Cobb, and Martha ClinC ft A fiA A a a THE HONOR SOCIETY One night at dinner this year we were all surprised to see some of our bosom friends sailing into dinner all rigged out in full dress. Discreet inquiry revealed the fact that the Senior Honor Society was having its formal dinner. We understand that the society has had one meeting this year at which Prexy mentioned a few points on the elevated subject of Scholarship. At another of the meetings was instigated the memorable chapel programs on Quest for Truth through Religion and Science. Carey and Nenita had discussed the subject before the society and started such a verbal battle thai it was carried to the school at large by Doctors Coleen Fowler and Raymond Smith. We run-of-the-mill averages admire the members of the Honor Society tor their idealism, their brilliance, and incidentally, their grades. Of course, you understand that we all could get into the society. It just isn ' t important to us. Ho! Hum ' The officers of the Honor Society are: F.loise Carter. President: Ruth Arden Durham. Vice-President; Jane Hess. Secretary and Treasurer. JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY Most ot us don ' t worry about grades until we try signing up for an English major or want to graduate. Some few bright girls think about them in their freshman and sophomore years. These smart girls just naturally meet the Junior Honor Society somewhere in their careers. Little girls, we are proud of you and sincerely glad for the inspiration your brilliance and drudgery (if it be sol gives us for the daily grind. Nancy Wall is President of the Junior Honor Society.

Y. W. C. A We all meet the Y twice a week at Vespers and almost all of us think what a push-over these Y jobs are. They have nothing to do except post signs about guest speakers twice weekly. But. along came Thanksgiving. Remember? Every house tried to have a higher tempera- ture than the next one and hustled groceries into the lovely boxes decorated by Cameron. The most fun and the hardest work of all was the Children ' s Christmas party. We all had a temporarily adopted child. There were lots of happy children, candy and oranges, and a real Santa Claus. Lots of things happened around Christmas time. You remember White Christ- mas and Miss Henningcr ' s and Dick ens ' Christmas Carol. Came January 29 and Religious Emphasis Week on the heels of a handsome young man from Emory. Meet Mr. Robertson, girls. Frank, to you. my dears. The speaker was signally honored with open house at the new Y hut. We cannot decide which is more enthusiastic over this new edifice adorning the southeast end of the campus and overlooking Gobbel Lake — Whit, or Jeter. To the Y we offer thanks for making our living more helpful and more gracious this year at Greensboro College. ■■ seS s Hg EMERSON LITERARY SDEIETY The Emerson roll: Rachel Archer.

Emerson, implies so much t It J t it is hardly necessary to tell you just what this means on the Greensboro Col- lege campus. You can look anywhere and you wont find a more loyal group of people During Rush Week this year, there was strong evidence of this in everything the Emersons did — the grand formal meet- ings, the original school-house program, the anual Cone Lake picnic for the new girls, and the final Decision Day. The Emersons are so proud of every member, and every member is proud to be called an EMERSON. The green and gold of the society will fly high for a long time to come, and praises for the staunch group will always be heard. The Emersons and Irvings gave a most successful Inter-Society on December 9, and held Open House for the Hospitality Week- End Guests at the Y hut on March 2.

And. of course, we all remember the success of the year — the Inter-Society Dance. Then there was the stationery that everyone fell in love with at first sight and the Inter Society baseball game which was such fun.

THE ECHO Despite the glum aspects of the editor and business manager, it really wasn ' t so bad after all. It was work but fun and we learned a great deal about people and things. We are very grateful for all the advice, inspira- tion, sympathy and moral support offered us. We want to mention especially Lib and Nita ' s indispensable help in the picture taking and Bunny ' s Heaven-sent typing talent. We want to thank Mr. Herbert Hitch and Mr. W. J. Crich ton. Jr.. for their help and patience when we were confused about checks and asked dumb questions about engraving and copy. Many thanks also to Dr. Miller, our adviser, and to our cover representative. Mr. W. K. Deighton. and our photographers. Mr. Thomas Daniel. Mr. Billy Waller, and Mr. John Detwiller. Becky Fulghum.

Friday night is the night at G. C. Since way back when, the Collegian. coming out every other Friday night, brings us not only well-written news stories, but criticisms of plays, lectures, and concerts: editorials that plank right down and tell us where we ' re off and tell us what to do about it; and. our own chances to express ourselves in the Under Discussion column which invites our comments. Struts In The Wind (Shirley Bailey) and Line ' s Busy (Weleska Pegram) , rival g ossip columns, give us that sought-for experience of seeing our names in print, for with two gossip-mongers at our heels — well, it ' s hard to escape even if we wished it.

Editor CAROLYN SMITH, Business Manager THE HANDBOOK Mary Lena is not the sort of person to want to linger around G. C. after every- one else has left for summer vacation, as most Handbook editors have found it necessary to do. So just as soon as she was elected. Mary Lena set to work. Carolyn Smith got busy on her business manager ' s job also. Incidentally, we never got around to ask Carolyn how she signed up so many ads in so short a time. But we ' ve concluded that she had only to open those shockingly big blue eyes of hers (as only Carolyn can) . Both girls lined up all their work dur- ing the last several weeks of school and were ready to leave with the rest of us. They gave us a good Handbook too! INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS LLUB Hello, did you have a grand summer ' Have you seen our refugee students. ' What arc they like ' Wait till you hear them talk! That was the entire conversation or vocabulary of any I. R. C. member this fall. They were looking forward to the fruition of their Refugee Scholarship project begun last spring. You remember how thrilled they were to meet Renec Wasoff and Roberta Schoenland. Charm- ing and intelligent, these girls have widened our campus horizons this year and we offer the International Relations Club our con- gratulations on their intcrnational-minded- ness. The tenacity and force it took to swing the Scholarship program into action is evident this year in their plans for the future. Wouldn ' t it be fun to have a regu- lar international community on our cam- pus ' That is the club ' s goal. Several study meetings, chapel programs, and intercollegiate conferences have been guided by the I. R. C. this year. The International Relations Club officers for 1 9-1940 were: Erlene Greene.

For the members this has been a year filled with a great deal of hard work as well as much pleasure and happiness. Engagements in and out of town have kept them constantly on the go since they have sung for many civic, com- munity, and religious organizations. The Christmas program, given with the Meistersingers. was the first formal program of the year. The Glee Club was also privileged to sing at the Carolina Theatre when Professor Frederich H. Koch gave his famous reading of Dickens ' Christmas Carol. The Glee Club made its annual ten-day tour of North Carolina. Virginia, and the District of Columbia in March. After their return, several members participated in the choruses for the G. C. Players ' production ol Midsummer Night ' s Dream. 1 lie Requiem. an oratorio by Brahms, brought to close one of the most successful years in the history of the Greensboro College Glee Club.

Here you see them on their way to play for an engagement at some club-meeting or banquet You probably remember the chapel program for which the string quintet played. Their program including the Blue Danube. Norwegian Dance. Spanish Dance. Andante Contrabile from Tschaikowskys Fifth Symphony, and Stephen Foster ' s Swannce thrilled all of us. The Quintet played special Christmas music al the National Theatre during the Yuletide season. They also fur- nished music for Montaldo ' s fashion show, the Liberty Music Club, the Euterpe Club, and on several other occasions. MUSIC We will remember not only the work of the musical organizations this year, but also the contributions of individuals and groups. Piano solos, organ solos, violin solos, vocal solos — all these contributions of the B.M. ' s. Indelibly written in our musical memories are the Christ- mas Pageant, the Easter Pageant and Midsummer Night ' s Dream ' ' with the beauty of the choruses, and the organ and instrumental music. Much of this work has been done by the classes in Public School Music. Class Voice, and Musical Education under the direction of Miss Alia Ross. THE ORCHESTRA Irving Society Hall. 7:00 p.m.. any Thursday of the school year. Mark Hoff- man raps sharply with his baton. 1, 2. 3. and the Greensboro College Orchestra is practicing. Hours and hours of practice lie back of that memorable concert on Sunday after- noon. February 4. We waltzed our way through the innumerable dances to Tschai- kowsky ' s Sleeping Beauty Waltz. Moz- art ' s Overture to ' the Magic Flute ' was followed by Liszt ' s Hungarian Fantasy. Passionate gypsies laughed, danced and sang to this lively composition. The Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakow re- vealed the intense emotion of Persian intrigue and the lovely motion of Sinbad ' s ship at sea. The polished playing of our orchestra and of Dorothy Jones as piano soloist is a brilliant memory of the year. The personnel of the orchestra includes: Director: Mark Hoffman: First Violins: Mrs. Jess Alderman. Tal Henry, Willie Mae Cooper. Eleanora Kampschmidt; Second Violins: Frances McColl.

You see them everywhere: at plays, concerts, or at any of the big events of this year. (The lucky stiffs heard the Duke Glee Club gratis. Oh, for the life of a Marshal!) Emma is Chief Marshal this year and you should see her round ing up her brood. I ' m sorry that you have to break that date, Anna Catherine, but you really must be there. or Please. Butter, be on time; they ' ll begin coming before 7. Our white-clad usherettes are: Emma Muse Burns. Jean Bowers, Margaret Pal- mer. Ruth Arden Durham, Muriel Ket- chum, Louise Hickey. Eloisc Carter. Helen McDaniel, Evelyn Chandler, Anna Cath- erine Love, Barbara Allan Moss. Jane Hess, and Mary Virginia Arnold. THE ART CLUB The Art Club has been active this year in that it has formulated a genuine inter- est in art among the students. The many outside speakers brought to our campus by the club have proved most beneficial. We might add that the presence of the head of our art department whose appearance and talent are so congruent with her pro- fession has surely helped to foster this new art-consciousness among G. C. students. Lectures at the monthly meetings of the club have included discussions of: Portrait Painting. Photography. Spring Clothes. Early American Panning, and Art in the Grammar School. Fostered by the Art Club were the rentals of copies of great paintings to the students for only twenty-five cents each month. (Lest you prove parsimonious, that ' s beauty for less than one cent per day.) For their desire and practical efforts to make OU1 life more gracious we remember the I ' MO Art Club. Officers were: Barbara Allan Moss, Presi- dent: Anna Leo Nelson. Vice-President; Blanche Dinsmorc. Secretary-Treasurer: Lueile Martin. Publicity Chairman: and Mary-Bracme Seasholtz, Faculty Sponsor. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB At meetings of the Home Ec Club, the girls center their attention on smarter styles and better home decorating. Some of the members may become famous designers or interior decorators. Or maybe some ex- G.C.-ite will be one of those radio voices which speak of endless cups of milk and produce angel food cake among the anten- nae. And perhaps some of the Home Ec girls will be so trite as to get married and practice what they learned. At any rate. they all know how to plan their own little homes. In the accompanying picture the lasses grouped about the loom are the Home Economics Cub officers: Ruth Ardcn Dur- ham. President: Margaret Long. Vice- President: Ruth Bunts. Secretary: Marian Graham. Treasurer: Florence Wanner. Reporter: Rachel Archer, Scrapbook- Keeper: and Dorothy Rhinehardt. Senior Adviser. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT If you ' ve ever been at G. C. when the bells started clammering, you surely know how to appreciate the quiet atmosphere of a machine shop. When the bells ring, we untangle ourselves from the covers and sleepily close windows, grab wet towels, open doors, and join the others in that familiar single line that moves toward the outside world and its wintry blast. After roll call we return to our rooms to dream peacefully until another night when Sadie will feel up to torturing us again. In the picture Chief Sadie Smith is about to do what all of us have been itching to do all year — ring the bell and hear the bell clang. . Second Row Speed, .Miller. Thomas. Third Row.

Daughters are the blucbloods of the campus. In a school so saturated in tradition, any girl who can boast that Mother graduated in 191 5 or My grandmother was here during the war surely rates. Many G. C. Daughters carry on Mother-Daughter traditions by joining the society of their mothers or adopting the same major. Grace Clare went so far as to start an Irving Society President tradition. THE PREACHERS ' KIDS CLUH Bishop Lillie Brown calls all the preachers ' kids together once a month for a social conference. At this meeting the ministers ' daughters at G. C. mingle and become as well acquainted as their fraternal fathers. Besides the bishop. District Superintendent Laura Ellen Canipe and pastor Janella Kirk help to make these programs just what they ' re cracked up to be. In the accompanying picture, the P. K. ' s (and no crack about chewing gum) are anxiously tuning in on the reading of appointments. Oh. well, the picture Was posed, but such a scene was a very familiar one back in November. It ' s a very vital question — Where shall I be living next year? and most of us will not forget seeing a group of girls hugging a radio or waiting in the morn- ing darkness for the arrival of the the newsboy. In case you didn ' t gather from the above, the officers of the P. K. this year were; Lillie Brown, Bishop; Laura Lllen Canipe, District Superintendent: and, Janella Kirk, Pastor. Slaiuiuiii: Clark THE SOCIAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE Early this year the Social Standards Committee was formed with a repre- sentative from each of the major organizations. The committee has worked out many things to make our recreational hours more enjoyable. They have placed games in the Y hut. purchased games and magazines for the parlors, and are now at work on a project for a radio in one of the parlors. The members of the Social Standards Committee are: Shirley Bailey, Eleanora Kampschmidt. Margaret Anderson. Jean Bowers. La Mar Spencer. Louise Hickey. Sarali Hill. Jean Edgcrton.

The members of the club are those girls who are planning to teach in the very near future. There are fifty-one seniors who are members of this club, which implies that there will be fifty-one members of the class of ' 40 in the field next fall. In our college the activities of the Department of Education and our Future Teachers ' Club merge. This club has been active this year having numerous speakers and social events. Several members of the club were delegates to the conference of the North Carolina Educational Association in Durham and Raleigh. The club has also been privileged to hear several interesting speakers during this school year, including Mr. K. G. Phillips and Mr. Justice. Officers of the club this year include: Louise Hickey, President: Mary Lena Green. Vice-President: Mary Lee Flowers. Secretary: and Helen McDaniel, Treasurer. Dr. Elizabeth B. Young, professor of education, is sponsor of the organization. THE FRENCH CLUB Aux Chants Des Oiscaux : melodrammer a la France.

Mclodrammcr. ' ' They all died in the end. This was the very elegant and elevated beginning of the French Club, reorganized this year headed by Gwcn Jones as President. Helen Porter as Vice- President, and Roberta Schoenland as Secretary. The club closed in for a lecture by Mr. Edgerton of Guilford, who has been a teacher of English in France. The chief activity of the club, of course is trying to say in French. The meeting will come to order or What ' s the French for ' Let ' s eat ' : ' or And all members will please address their remarks to the floor in our acquired language. THE MATH CLUB Two plus two makes four — anyone knows that. But if you want the real Iowdown on this business of Mathematics, just ask a member of our own Math Club, and she will give you the latest information from a great con- temporary mathematician. Reason — because the Math Club is one of the most wide awake of all clubs on the campus. In their regular meetings this year they have been gleaning and discussing the latest mathematical knowledge from the pens of today ' s great mathematicians. Now, don ' t get the idea that it is boring. It ' s far from that. Some of the members have become so fascinated that they call themselves mathematical nuts ' ' (the name originated from a game they play). For social relaxation from X ' s and numbers, the members indulge in weiner roasts and steak frys. Oh. to be a math student! Officers this year were: Evelyn Chandler.

Lest you be deceived by print, we hasten to assure you that they socialize with a zest. Kitty Wilson. The Deacon to all members, was a laugh prelude to some muscle stretching, properly designated as Folk Dancing. ( Really they Vir- ginia Reeled until they reeled. ) Then there was the prime theological question with which they dealt in an enviable manner. They just had to find out the difference in temperature between heaven and hell. Using a steak as then subject, they carried on their research. We present this notable work to you. Object: To note temperature differences between heaven and hell. Materials and Apparatus: Steaks, thermom- eters, hungry women, fuel and flames, ambition and patience. Procedure: The temperate climate of our earth refused to produce any sign of an eatable steak morsel. The temperature was coaxed upward under the influence of added fuel. A temperature of 100 degrees F. was reached and still the light of truth was unshed and appetites were unsatis- fied. Time passed on and 180 F. brought the dawn of success. Results: Salivary glands were vitally stimu- lated, the steaks were a delicious brown. Needless to say. they were also downed. Conclusions: Happy girls, satisfied hunger, and an excellent way to break loose is to attend a Religious Ed. Club steak fry. • ' •■£ -. ' V-.

And the scrumptuous present they gave Dr. Lahser? If your memory is not at its best right now. then freshen it up a bit. because you could not have missed the self- advertising the members did when the good time had ended. The German Club is made up of the students who take German — those who struggle with an unfamiliar script and attempts at guttural voices. Officers this year were: Thelma Morri- son. President; Mary Noble Angel. Vice- President; and. Frances Palmer, Secretary and Treasurer. THE PLAYERS The G. C. Players opened on November ] 7 a very successful season with the presen- tation of Eugene O ' Neill ' s Ah. Wilder- ness. A large audience was stirred as the Players enacted the drama with deep under- standing and genuine sincerity. J. V. Berry showed fine acting ability in his role of Nat Miller. Jimmy Davis, as the seventeen- year-old son who gets himself so involved in his first adventure in love that disen- tangling proves a serious matter, gave his role sympathetic understanding worthy of praise. Kathryn Marley and Carrie Lupton received favorable comment for their por- trayal of the leading women ' s parts. Eventually the hub-bub over O ' Neill ' s great drama began to fade away. People began wondering just what the Players had in store as their next production. Silent for a while, the Players announced in January that Dayton and Kaufman ' s First Lady would be produced the following month. Elizabeth Gabriel was chosen to play the title role. The story is written about two Washington wives, each of whom has ambitions to see her own hus- band in the White House. The audience was delighted by the drawing-room bouts of Lucy Chase Wayne (Lib Gabriel I and Irene Hibbard (Rena Davis). The wise Players closed their season at the height of their success. As a final triumphant note of the season. 1 939-1 940. they gave us Midsummer Night ' s Dream by one William Shakespeare. This gay and tripping fantasy, beautifully and cleverly staged and enacted, held enthralled an audience ranging from the tiniest of tots to the stateliest of matrons. Notable in their parts were Weleska Pcgram as Puck and Ed Landreth as Bottom. THE DRAMATIC CLUB In spite of th e fact that the members of the club have an interest in almost every play that is produced here — and anyone who has been in one of the productions knows how much work that is — they still take time out to make their club one of the most active on the campus. This year all the programs have been given by mem- bers of the organization, and no outside speaker has been allowed to cross the threshold for even one of the meetings. The programs have been centered around the idea of developing a love for drama, both old and new; a series of talks were given on the various playwrights and their works. In order to encourage an interest in choral speaking. Miss Scarles, assisted by a group of freshmen, presented an interesting program at one of the meetings. The Dra- matic Club has had a successful year. Officers this year were Rena Davis. Presi- dent; Thelma Morrison. Vice-President; Carrie Lupton, Business Manager; La Von Osborne. Assistant Business Manager: Marjorie Sugg. Secretary; Martha Dora Harris. Publicity Manager; Elaine Causey, Assist. Wardrobe Mistress; Erlene Greene. Wardrobe Mistress.

Muriel and Re BEFORE AND AFTER Starring the G. E. Players There is no forgotten man in the Players. For in every play, each members may play a part: not necessarily a role before the footlights, but a role which is almost as essential. The property mistress, the stage manager, and the electrician are also stars in their own rights. There is also the business of getting ready for the play — making sets, rehearsals, setting the stage, make-up. And before one ever becomes a star, there conies that delightful agony of private lessons — of being told your faults and how to improve. Last of all comes the finished product — the play, or to be high-flown, the drama. And no one can deny that the productions of the G. C. Players are finished products.

IW I ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION With the annual bang-up picnic at the Guilford County Clubhouse for the old and the new students, the Athletic Association started the year. The Association also helped the Riding Club put on the second horse show at Greensboro College. At the end of each tournament, a varsity team was chosen from the girls who played exceedingly well. The Association sponsored the intramural swimming meet in the early spring, as well as the spring horse show. During hospitality week-ends, the members of the Athletic Board entertained guests. The one time for-rent bicycles are now the joy of the campus for they may be ridden free of charge. And in all. the Athletic Association has deserved its designation as one of the Big Three organizations on the campus. The officers for 19 S9-1940 were: Jewel Clifton, President: Grace Clare Taylor. Vice- President: Katherine Gibbs, Secretary: Frances Lister, Treasurer: Emma Muse Burns, Cheer Leader. Dorothy Smith. Rachel Archer, and La Von Osborne acted as class representatives. s, TAYLOR.

C. as referring to one who is outstanding in athletics or out- standing in beauty, you still end up thinking about La Von Osborne. La Von rated the Senior Superlative of Most Attractive as well as the coveted title of Miss G. C. La Von is active in every type of athletics. She made varsity soccer, she ' s a whiz at that forward position on the basketball court, she rides beautifully — and if she tried. La Von could probably win a six-day bicycle race. THE G CLUB Three girls made the G Club this year. We bear these outdoor girls counting up their points as often as the would-be G. C. Players. Jewel Clifton, La Von Osborne, and Grace Clare Taylor were received into the G Club this year. Frances Weston had received the honor in her sophomore year. All these girls had made the required 750 points for their proficiency in athletics. SWIMMING On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons the best looking girls can be seen coming down the hill at G. C. on their way to the Y. M. C. A. (to swim). Some are so bundled up that only the tops of their heads can be identified. Each bathing beauty usually has stringy hair on these afternoons since she never rolls it up the night before swimming class.

Where there is a will there is a way was illustrated clearly by some, their trick shots and returns holding their opponents baffled. The dark horses in the tournament were Mary Hester Austin and Erlene Greene. Greenie mowed down her opponents with smashing balls, and I do mean smashing. Mary Hester nearly sliced Mickey ' s crown from her head. Betty Elder defeated all freshman challengers, while La Von as usual defeated all the seniors. . ' Instead of selecting certain champions, a tennis team was formed this year from the best players in each of the four classes. The cream of G. C. ' s 1940 tennis crop are: La Von Osborne.

C. girls could be seen trooping down the hill to prac- tice basketball in the Central Junior High gym. There were all sorts of costumes, memorable among which were Holly ' s red flannels, numerous white numbers, and all sorts of ancient sweaters. As the ECHO goes to press, the out- come of the 1940 tournament is still hidden. The juniors have won the cup for the past two years. Will they hold it? And what will the freshmen do? The action shots were taken at senior practice one night.

SOCCER The varsity soccer team is made up of eight seniors, one junior, two sophomores, and one freshman this year. Anyone can see why so many seniors were chosen. Winning four successive soccer tourna- ments was enough to give them such an honor. These girls were chosen because as Sloe puts it, they could not only dribble, pass, run, and tackle, but they could just plain get around that field. The varsity forward line was made up of: Oleta Church, Evelyn Webb. Jewel Clifton. La Mar Spencer. Frances Hill, and Mary Lee Flowers. La Von Osborne. Grace Taylor. Grace Weston. Ruth Yount, and Frances Lister made up the backfield. while Frances Weston acted as goal guard. In the accompanying picture the soccer varsity have gathered down at the new Y hut. which will also be athletic headquarters henceforth.

As lowly freshmen, they took to a soccer ball as a duck takes to water, and even as the proverbially dig- nified seniors they won their final cham- pionship in soccer. As a prelude to the tournament, a pep rally was held in which the four classes gave skits. The juniors received the award for the best skit with its ghostly setting in a cemetery filled with the remains of defeated freshmen, sopho- mores and seniors. The outcome of the tournament games were: Juniors 2. Freshmen 2; Juniors 5. Sophomores 2; Seniors 3, Sophomores 2; Freshmen 0. Seniors 0: and the play-off. Seniors 3. Juniors 2. The last game was a tough fight but the seniors upheld their tradition and won. FRESHMAN TEAM Top, Front Row: Te SOPHOMORE TEAM w: Wolfe, Him. I.isihk. II i sn.-..

During 1939-1940 By Louise Hickey Years may come and years may go. But this is one you ought to know. September brought with it Freshmen quite green Who thought college life really was keen ' Rush week passed with the usual fuss, Grade and Lib made it one to discuss! Decision Day saw tears to match. ' Cause the Irvings. not the Emersons. got the biggest catch! Oh, yes! The Athletic Picnic was really rare. Maybe not the wind but the rain was in your hair ' October came with its colors warm And Halloween, too. in its ghostly form. Miss Rickman served us — oh, what a dinner! If this keeps up. we ' ll never get thinner! Then November came as November does. And what a production Ah! Wilderness was. I nearly forgot (how could I ? ) to mention That this was the month of ye old Press Convention. Along with their fun. their frolics, and capers, These gals actually learned how to edit their papers! But what with all the conventions and plays. I almost forgot Turkey Holidays. December came with spirit galore. Life was anything but a bore! The nativity story was beautifully played By Ann Exum and her talented maids. Then on Saturday, the ninth, at eight o ' clock, Every gal on the campus — the whole G. C. flock — Trucked over to Main for the biggest of sprees And swayed to the rhythm of Bill Vanden Dries. Christmas Holidays, the school girls ' delight, Came, it seemed to us. almost over night. On December seventeenth, with a hip-hip-hurrah. We headed for home to see Ma and dear Pa ! That fellow who said all good things must end. Had a pretty good idea of life and its trend, ' Cause after the whirl of a few holidays, To the Hill we returned pretty much in a daze! In January came the worst week of all. When even the bravest is wont to fall. You guessed it! Exam week, which made us all mourn And ask in despair. Oh, why was I born ' But we lived through it — everyone of us maids — And were none the worse — except for our grades. Bul here we mustn ' t forget to speak Of Frank L. Robertson and Religious Emphasis Week. He brought to us messages inspiring Through his efforts so untiring. A new man appeared in the History class. Hearts beat high in many a lass. But History went on as before. Even when Hammond walked in the door! In February the Seniors received their long gowns. And had placed on their heads those black-tasseled crowns. In March. First Lady turned out to perfection Under Miss Searles ' able direction. For Washington females, a battle of wits, Rena and Lib surely proved hits. Along with March winds came the Spring, Riding and tennis became the thing. The bunny assures us there ' s a good reason For mentioning here the glad Easter season. For Muriel and Rena presented a play That well represented that Holy Day. Then Junior-Senior; Freshman-Sophomore: Lots of fun and stuff in store! For Freshman -Sophomore, a Dutch Garden theme. You couldn ' t believe it — ' twas so like a dream. The Juniors and Seniors, in Sea Island moonlight, Cut tropical capers from eight until midnight! Then came April, my children, and now you shall hear Of the final production of our school year. In Shakespeare ' s comedy. Midsummer Night ' s Dream. The music and acting were really supreme. May is the biggest month that I know; May Day Frolics and Becky ' s ECHO. The Queen of England — the Queen of France With Grace Clare Taylor wouldn ' t stand a chance! For Grade reigned the Queen of May Looking quite charming and very gay. So Exam Week rolled around once more And over their books did the Seniors pour. While final papers were being corrected, Plans for Commencement were being perfected. Class Day; Baccalaureate Sunday: Commencement and then home on that Monday. A warm treasured memory this be for you. Good luck in the future and now Adieu.
