?g ln.. . EMBERS MRS. HAMRICK The favorite saying of Mrs. j. ll. Himriek, hostess of Renfroe Hall is, It's the little things that count, girls. For her girls Mis. Hamriek can always be depended to do not only the little things but other numerous things that likewise count toward making Renfroe possess .1 homely atmosphere. Mrs. Hamrick, born in Trusville, Alabama, came to Howard in 1936 as housemother of the girls' dormitory. During her first two years at Howard, besides being hos- tess, Mrs. Hamrick was field worker for the college and was employed by the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board as an approved elementary worker. In the capacity of this latter position she went throughout the South to lead conferences for workers in the elementary age groups in Sunday School. After resigning from every job but hostess of the dormitory, a woman-sized job in itself, Mrs. Hamrick, better known as Hammie , centers her interest on girls and hooking rugs. 15? 1 eoultiiig .intl lieu' liolilix, like that ol Nlrs. ll.imi'it'lt, N llrimli ul' Nlrs. liusst'll's good cmrltliig is t'xitlt'iit't'tl Cf s-IJ CJ CLI CJ C-'AF CJ' swf' at

Activities Viewing the campus I saw several people, evi- dently editors of the various publications, always hurry- ing as if it were their last breath muttering something about beating a deadline. They must have met them because everything came out on time, except the Stu- dent Directory, but the word was that the A.P.O.'s had a hard time this year. Another busy group was the Stu- dent Senate. Their main worry was something about balancing a budget, which reminds me, my Uncle Squirmy Worm had a balancing act in a circus once. Cne activity which everybody enjoyed was that of hav- ing bull sessions, in fact that was the most common activity on the campus, especially during Chapel periods.
