ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE —Left to right: Margaret Covington, Miss Isabella Watters, Dr. IdaBelle W. Thomas, Margaret Horsman, Hyman Crandall, Jacquelyn Lord. THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE “There’s the bell! It’s time for Assem¬ bly. Have you seen the bulletin board No. Well, come on! We don’t want to be late.’’ PTery Tuesday morning at 10:20 faculty and students find their way to the Little Theater for the one “get-together” of the week. The Assembly provides an oppor¬ tunity to hear well-known speakers and singers. Pearly in the year Dr. Anne H. Matthews gave us a brief insight into the history and traditions of S.T.C. The men of the college have entertained the group with their southern harmony. After an election assembly, with heated campaign speeches and electioneering, we elected Mr. Roose¬ velt, too. Other outstanding programs have included monologues by the speech class, informative lectures by professional persons and music by various outside groups. The music department has been of in¬ valuable help in the Assembly. Miss Isabella M. Watters lends her talents and efforts in getting the faculty and students to enjoy community singing. The Assembly programs are arranged by the Student Assembly Committee con¬ sisting of four students and two faculty members. The committee includes Mar¬ garet Horsman, chairman, Jacquelyn Lord, Margaret Covington, and Hyman Cran¬ dall, Dr. IdaBelle Wilson Thomas and Miss Watters. MEN’S ASSOCIATION “How ARE your vocal chords. Dykes “Tune up the piano, Riley.” Among the other compliments to be paid the fifteen men still enrolled here, it could be said that “they are the singingest group of boys we have ever seen”; consequently the pose around the piano is a most natural one. PNen Mr. P leming, the ad¬ visor—who, incidentally, gets our vote as the “father of the year”—has graduated from “Rock-a-Bye-Baby” to “Dark Town Strutters Ball.” Officers for the year are Roger Beck¬ with, president; Nolan Owens, vice-presi¬ dent; Joseph Jackson, secretary; and Ceorge Collins, treasurer. 23

The Girls’ Day xAssociation % Life in the Day-Room is a series of ups and downs. Yesterday Annalee and Ann were both down—on the tioor. It seems that Ann was trying out some jujitsu, and, apparently, she didn’t know how good she was! A description of the Day-Room would he futile; the scenery is always changing as the girls rush in, hang up coats, and ding books into the bins. The bins, alias lockers, occupy the space at one end of the room. In the center of the room is a table whereon sits a much used typewriter and usually a vase of dowers. Three couches, covered with gay dowered material, and numerous chairs invite relaxation. All ot us have had the comfortable experience of stretching out on one of the couches for a hurried forty winks between classes. The bulletin board must not be forgotten be¬ cause that is where the bowling scores are posted. Yes, occasionally, the W.D.S.A. holds a meeting downtown at the bowling alley just off South Division Street. What’s it like.? Well, a super de luxe combination of cheering, shouting, arguing, eating, drink¬ ing and gymnastics. But perhaps a glance at the picture of the W.D.S.A. offers a better illustration. One must not infer, however, that our faculty adviser does not also })articipate in bowling. Dr. Matthews, through unfortunately out ot the camera’s view, is an active member ot the “No Spares.’’ Most of you know that Betty Lee Hill¬ man underwent an appendectomy during the latter part of November, but do you know she also makes a specialty ot un¬ twisting wire coat-hangers. So if you are lucky enough to have any of the last men¬ tioned articles, better keep them home! The period of 12:05 to 12:35 is eagerly welcomed by members of the Women’s Day Student Association. Many of the group rush to the cafeteria to replenish their supply of energy. The remainder gather about the table in the center of the room or, like the Romans of Caesar’s day recline gracetully on the several couches and consume an amazing amount of food. Jackie Lord, as president of the associa¬ tion, is privileged to journey to the cafe¬ teria for dixie cups. And listen to the griping if it’s all orange ice instead of vanilla! Cokes, milkshakes, and chocolate zij)s are imported from the store. Lunch is accompanied by much gossip, pantomime, and laughter. Quite fre¬ quently the silence of the hall is disturbed by unrestrained shouts and giggles. Jokes are told, too, but few can rival Mr. Huff- ington’s version of centrifugal motion (as told to a certain geography class one day when Miss Purnell wasn’t there)—“Get behind a car wheel sometime when it’s stuck in the mire and watch it sling mud in your lace.” “Light she was and like a fairy, a7id her shoes were number nine ' ' !! We hope that is not the Chincoteague sailor’s opinion of the S.T.C. co-ed!! Everyone looks for¬ ward to the dances for they are special occasions. But much ot the enjoyment comes from the discussion in the day room. Before the dance: “Marita, trade the fifth set!” “Regina, what are you going to wear!” (Don’t forget Charlotte promised to let us all wear her new evening gown). “Who’re you coming with, Margaret Anne.?” “Betsey, don’t you hope Esso comes again.?” After the dance: “What was his name, Frances.?” “Your partner was a swell dancer, Etta.” “Lee’s from Chicago.” “Well, Bill’s from Alabama.” “Didn’t you like the decorations!” “And those relreshments!”—wish I had some now! 25
