, Ul4t It is something to be proud of, our Honor System, something to uphold and to cherish. Each member of this Student Body is a Uving part of it and, signing the code of honor, promises to herself and to God that the part which is herself shall bring no discord into the song of friendship, work and play, but only the finest harmony. Wonder how each part can be beautiful when they are so unequally divided? Well, the best of anyone is beautiful, even if it is small enough to seem to lose itself in the crowd. Nothing good is ever lost. Everyone who performs some task nobly, living up to the best that is within her, is creating a feeling that will weave itself into our college life to make it fine. The best — that is what our Honor System calls for. May we keep its spirit always, as a challenge and a guide. Standing, left to right: Upshur, Roberts, Minton, Beebe.

Lucile Jennings Miss Mary Nichols M. Boyd Coyner We are reminded that our lives, which we would live fully, are not very simple any more. We are forced to live affected by and affecting the lives of millions of men and women daily. Since our life is one in which we are all bound together, is it possible to live fully except as we live in relation to those to whom we are bound in daily life? Is it possible to live creatively except as we sense in a real way our relation to these complex patterns and currents and put ourselves in tune with the rhythm of life? We can grow only as we identify ourselves with and sense our relation to all the elements in the life of our world. All must work together — finding and sharing life — to build a beautiful world before any of us can be truly rich and creative in our lives. This is the challenge of the Y. W. C. A. to the school and world today. Baclj: ron), left io right: Powell, Munt, Pond, Ritchie, Agee, Gathright, Carroll. Front row, left to riaht: Price, Glass, Upshur.
