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.

A. hab- if itually do, the need of the preacher boysl' organization is not so keenly felt as it 44 would otherwise be. It is for this reason that the'election of the new officers for the MR League was postponed for some time after school opened last fall. EV x '51 However, the boys felt a need for more intimate relations with each other and EL, with God, and consequently met together and effected their organization. Dr. C. C. Smith consented to succeed Dr. A. P. Rolen as spiritual advisor and the members I have profited greatly by his deep interest in them and his practical suggestions for iffy their activities. The meetings of the League this year have been unusual in that young men other than preachers,,, who were greatly interested in Christian work. K. were invited to attendg they have been usual in that they have been intensely devo- tional. There were open discussions concerning the ways in which the school could come into closer harmony with God and send out a more vital Christian influence. These discussions were invariably closed by an earnest prayer from each one present. ' j Such meetings have given a great spiritual uplift to those present and have done W much to incite the vleaguers to the service to which they have dedicated their lives. gif The prayer of the League this year has been that God might be well pleased with the gill service which it shall render.
