Bui b]) Mp spirit ... Y. W. C. A. WHAT would an opoiiinii ' day at S. T. C. be without white-clad Y girls dashing to meet the trains and buses, carrying sviit cases from the station to third floor Library or Student, explaining the mysteries of second floor Annex — in short trying to bring order out of chaos ? This year was no ex- ception. Although the freshmen arri -cd two days be- fore the upperclassmen, there was still confusion. The second night of school an informal party helped ns to get acquainted with the new girls. Sadie Cline presided as capable mistress of ceremonies and administered a Professor Quizz contest which truly baffled the freshmen. How conld they know that Joan of Arc, and not Miss Mary, was the patron saint of Farmville ? The Big Sister - Little Sister reception was as al- ways a gala occasion with girls in stylish evening- dresses, the gym transformed by bine and white crepe paper, delicioiis refreshments, and a delightfnl pro- gram. Directing this } ' ear ' s work were Jean Mover, onr president; Martha AVhelchel, vice-president; Lucy Tnrnbnll, secretary; (Virolvn Harvev. treasurer, and Left io rii lil : Chambers, Ebel, Hajnies, Folk, Rosebro.

Jetek Associate Professor of Home Economics Miss Coble presided at the Practice House, where all home economies majors are bound to go sooner or later. Miss Jeter, Miss Tupper, and Miss Bolick taught us to sew, cook, run a house, and do all the other things which make up the work of the Home Ec. Department. Head and sole teacher of the Speech and Dramatic Department is oiir own Miss Wheeler. Each one of us went into her class for the first time scared tn death, and came out dreamy-eyed over her beautifu interpretations of jaoetry, her knowledge of dramatics and speech. In connection with speech and language, the French, Spanish, and Latin classes are taught by Mrs. Martin, Miss Drajjer, and iiiss Rice. What more can we say — other than we ' re so very fond of our faculty ! Minnie V. Rice Professor of Latin Cakolvx Cogbill B. S.. M. A.

Winnie Hiner, Miss Mary Clay Hiner, and Mr. Boyd Coyner. Cabinet retreat was a success in every way. We met in the cabin at Longwood, and as we sat around the fire eating a picnic supper after our business meet- ing-, we felt that we had made excellent plans for a very profitable year. Dr. G. Ray Jordan, sponsored by the World Fel- lowship Committee, came in JSTovember as our first inspirational speaker. Speaking on the part which Christianity should play in our lives, he thrilled us with his enthusiasm and earnestness. He gave the key note for our freshman week, which was climaxed by a beautiful candle-light installation service in Joan I eft to right: Pierpont, Gresham, Noblin, Whelchel, Moyer, Nelson, Cline, Harvey. Jean Moyer, President of the Y. ' . C. A. Court. As Jean read again the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. and Follow the Gleam was played softly, we pledged ourselves anew to the high ideals of Chris- tian service on our campus. Right after Thanksgiving we plunged into preparations for our World Service Drive. The funds were to be used to aid our fellow students in China and to send workers to bring new hope into the lives of men in the Concentration Camps in Europe. Mr. Luther Tucker, who had just returned from the Orient, was on campus to give us first-hand information about conditions there. And it was first-hand, for he had spent two months as gTiest of the Japanese Emperor for ' ' confusing the public mind. We were de- lighted with the response of the student body both in their sj)irit and in their financial aid. Over $600.00 was raised — three times as much as last year ' s contribu- tion. December broiight with it those Christmas traditions which mean so much. Caralie ' s beautiful telling of Why the Chimes Rang and Miss Rice ' s traditional story of The Other AVise Man recalled to oiir minds once again the time spirit of Christmas. The hanging of the Christmas greens gave the Rotunda a new atmosphere of warmth and festivity that was the very embodiment of the holiday season. Remembering that the wa} ' to feel Christmas is to bring happiness to some one less fortunate, the student body gave their unselfish con- tributions at the annual White Christmas service. The Prayers Committee added a great deal to our observance of Christmas by presenting an effective pageant which combined the favorite carols auditories. We were unusually fortunate this year in the
