VELMA LEWIS ADVISORY BOARD I Mrs. Lantis Mrs. Greene 3 Mrs. Whitted Miss Morrissey ri It was the Wednesday chapel hour, one bleak and dreary day, A day when near the hearthstone college maidens love to stay. But out from hall and classroom and even from the street VJ There came these college maidens, who with one accord did meet 'Wi And entered all a sacred room-with them I entered too, Lg For strong desire had I to learn what they had come to do. The leader rose and read some Bible verses, reverently: I am come that life ye all might have, and that abundantly. ,Ai Sweet Hymns of Fellowship they sang, which gave both strength and rest. Nw They talked of life and how to make of it the very best. l Q They asked the Father's blessing, that each His work might shareg W And a voice uplifted then was heard in closing prayer. 1 I Then forth they went, each her own way, and I was left aloneg Xi, And as I sat and pondered o'er the service, I was prone if To wonder if the busy days of college life would find Wg The inspiration of this meeting banished from each mind. .ii So, thru the days I followed themg watching, yet unseen, L4 And found thru toil and strife the president remained serene. 5,11 For her cabinetgwas faithfulg each chairman did her work, ,Y And each, with her committee, no worthy task did shirk. Wi I saw them go to Mission Class and Bible Study, too, In social service there was work for hearts and hands to do. W They shared their spending money with Ginling o'er the sea, I A mile of pennies -more or less-was sent to Natalie. il I heard of Lake Geneva, where fruitful days were spentg 'la While to Macomb, for Council meet, their loyal leaders went. NW But they, thru all, did not omit the wholesome, college fun- wri' For we all know that helps us win as in life'S race we run. Wal So, often there were partiesg the best, by some was claimed, ,W When town and college girls did meet-and from each other gained. gi Each service brought some messageg but one of special power 'li Was the evening Christmas Vespers, at the candle-lighting hour. ff I learned this band was organized in Nineteen hundred-two, W With visions high, with purpose strong, with noble aims and true. fi' Oh, days there were when clouds o'erhung-the rift was seen thru tears, I i But God's own bow of promise shone to light them down the years. Each strove to use her talent as the days and months went by. 5 You ask who were these maidens? They belonged to Hedding Y. WL M. B. XV. M I .

And each day is more wonderful than the last. You never knew days could be so brim full before. They start with a ,Q bang!-the bang of the old dinner bell which wakes you at 6:30 from the most re- f' - V' freshing sleep you ever had. It seems just two minutes before that you heard the night watchman growl, Quiet, Hedding! Lights outlli' and amid giggles, the occa- N. sional bombardment of house slippers that came Hying over the sheet partition from ly! a tent-mate, you breathe the cool night air, say good-night to the stars. and are lulled P? to sleep in a jiffy by the lapping waves and sighing trees. T '. After breakfast, there's morning worship-the best part of the day-fifteen .. beautiful soul-inspiring moments of devotion. Then come classes on such subjects ffl and led by men and women of such breadth of vision that you just have to think and H' broaden out. li' If committee meetings are not booked for the next period, an open forum is held ' in the big Auditorium, where campus problems and special problems of the Y. YV. ii. C. A. are discussed. It's rather an impressive sight to see together seven or eight sy hundred girls keenly alive to the business of living. By this time you are much aware of a very hollow, empty feeling which only a well-cooked dinner can satisfy. The paths to the dining hall are full of flying girls. l, ip Our Student Council deems it advisable that silence reigns supreme from 2:00 to :L -1:00. Maybe you nap, but most likely you write a letter and get into your 'bathing 'A suit, ready for the first gong of the 4:00 o'clock bell. Or, perhaps, you hike to Yvil- liams Bay, or Uhlein's Gardens, or Yerkeis Observatory, or Fontaine. Tennis. basket ball, boat rides-oh! there are countless things to do after quiet hours! And i always the Refectory beams a welcome-such peachy ice cream cones! The memory of the evening makes you shiver with delight. The sunset from the R N top of Old Baldy, the twilight sings on the dining hall steps, the moonlight on the W water as you dangle your feet from the pier and twang the ukulele, are pictures. the fy beauty of which never fades. The beautiful good night call floating clear upon the 'ii evening air, G-E, Ge! N-E NE ! V-A! GENEVA! rings yet in your memory. i And still, in the words of that famous old hymn, The Half Has Not Been Toldf' 4 Q - I is Ei.
