3ii( k Sckoo IS eniors Ofre Cynle laLne THE SEVENTH ANNUAL Student Con¬ ference ser ' ecl the dual purpose of acquaint¬ ing Maryland high school seniors with one of the finest colleges on the Shore (!) and of allowing all of us to display our special abilities to the aforementioned visitors and other interested observers. Eor those w ho braved the cold, rainy w eather and wore a few more pounds of rubber off Dad’s tires, the trip was well worth the effort. They saw , heard, and enjoyed a panel dis¬ cussion on “The College in the National Emergency” by the Baglean-Carnean Debate Societv, the athletic exhibition in the gym¬ nasium by men and w ' omen students, and music by the College Band. They were es¬ corted by students on tours through the building for demonstrations in art, science, chemistry, and psychology. Then they w ere conducted to the Social Room for ever- w elcome tea and cakes. After the banquet, at wTich Dr. May oflB- ciated as toastmaster, the College Chorus sang and the Sophanes Players presented the patriotic “Thus Be It Ever.” Then a dance w ' ith Lew ' Startt’s Orchestra added just the right finishing touches to the full program for the dav. j Undoubtedly one of the most anxiouslv- awaited events, as far as the college students are concerned, is the announcement of the Campus Leaders. Just preceding the confer¬ ence, the students selected, bv secret ballot, se ' en members of their group who most nearly exemplify S. T. C. ideals. And von can bet the list of qualifications for each of these honors is carefully studied and potential can¬ didates accepted or discarded many times before the final vote is cast. Titles of highest rank are those of Miss S. T. C. and Best All-Around Man. Eligible ones must have done something outstanding for the college and not only must they display qualities of leadership, possess a pleasing per¬ sonality and a fine character; but, also, be trustw ' orthy, cooperative, and physically fit. Virginia Rose Vincent and William New¬ comb ran off w ' ith these honors. Dorothy Siddons was selected to be the May Queen because she possessed “the very air of a queen in poise, dignity, charm, grace, and beauty of face and figure.” (Whew!) And she met all the other requirements by dressing appropriately and neatly at all times. I ler escort — lucky man! — must have a w ' ell- proportioned phvsique, a fine countenance, and an outstanding personalitv. James Kerr won this honor. Then there are our athletes — Bettv Carey and Ralph Kirby — the best woman and best man singled out for these special honors. Each is a star college athlete, and “an out¬ standing participant in a majoritv of sports,” exhibits good sportsmanship, and plavs a fair and skillful game. The Most Literarv, Jeannette Rencher Ins- ley, naturallv is acquainted with and appre¬ ciates good literature, and is able to write an article of literarv merit. . 26 .

WINTER CHILLS ever A I.ri ' I’LE ' I ' OO EARLY to excuse this lethargic feeling bv calling it spring fever, we certainb’ slowed down anvwav. Not that there ’asn’t plenty happening. Glee Clnb and Chorus were warbling regularly for Miss Black in preparation for that all-important High School Seniors’ Day. Mrs. Bennett and the Sophanes Players gave plans a last- minute once-o er before beginning actual practice on their part of the Student Con¬ ference program. Phen on March 5, students as well as the elementary children for whom the program was intended, enjoyed the Clare Tree Majors Players’ presentation of “Toby Tyler” in the college auditorium. Two plays had been given previously — “Ldttle Women” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Tater, on March 17 to be exact, the last of the Cooperative Concerts was given. The Barrerre-Britt IVio, composed of flutist, cel¬ list, and pianist, entertained. We especially remember the fine ■ork of Miss Frances Blaisdell who played in the absence of M. Barrerre. Everyone w ' as taking a long look forward; to the Student Conference on March 21, and to April 1 and Easter holidays, the first vacation since Christmas! • 25 .
