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.

Click, click, and off go lights throughout all dormitories. The ten- thirty bell has sounded its peal, and the hall and house presidents end the busy day with the familiar phrase, lights out, reminding that all should be asleep. Sleep — never for some girls, when there is anything else to do. They are the girls who yell, play radios too loud during study hour or afterwards, or even wash after light bell, and regret it the next morning, when they go stumbling, sleepy-eyed, to breakfast. What a miserable life they make the hall presidents lead. Of course a gentle reminder is necessary for these girls, and most of the time a call-down follows on its heels. Study hall looms over the heads of just such girls as these. No one likes that. One whole week, a definite place to study, a definite length of time, no talking, no laughing, no letter writing, nothing but deathly silence and bored study. What a miserable life! Besides this duty, the House Council has another one, which we con- sider of equal importance, and that is to know just where they may find the girls, in case Johnnie would call, or Mother would call to give a permission and we were studying in another building or attending a meet- ing elsewhere. Of course these calls would never be got, if it wasn ' t for the House Council. Heartfelt appreciation is extended to this untiring body of hard workers. A desire to cooperate with other organizations, tact, patience, understanding, and thoughtful consideration are just some of the attributes of the House Council.
