AA  Km J The Emersons smiled bravely, for defeat by two was very nearly nothing at all. Hearty congratulations went from them to the victors for more reasons than one. This had been an up and above board rush week, with the Irvings and Emersons on the very best of terms even after Decision Night. The spirit had been lively, but lair. They could never forget the exc ellent leadership of President Frances Wilkinson, the beauty of the formal cake cutting on the terrace, those memorable nights of serenading, or the lively jitterbug contest. In the face of defeat those incidents stood out to remind them of the joy and fellowship they had shared together during the excite- ment dl rushing, and to instill in their hearts the fact that no defeat can ever mar the glory of the Emersons.

They were present at all the games for critical observation, and after the tournaments, which the various sports heads had scheduled, these leaders discussed the ability and skill of the players and chose a varsity in each sport. The early highlight sponsored by this association was Play Dav, in which two societies went into conflict in the different sports. This year the Irvings bowed to the Emersons, who left the athletic field with broad grins and that beautiful gold plaque. G. C. accepted the imitation to send their most skillful athletes to Raleigh on November 16, when Meredith and St. Mary ' s Colleges jointly sponsored an intercollegiate Play Dav. The athletic-minded girls boarded a special bus and journeved eastward to compete with Meredith, St. Mary ' s, Duke, Guilford, Mars Hill, W. C, Brevard, and Peace.
