Dean Metis helped prepare the supper. This past week has been Recognition Week. The purpose was for the Juniors and Seniors to know each other better and particularly for the Juniors to know the Seniors by name. There were a few other re- strictions placed on the Juniors, but I think they, as well as the Seniors, really enjoyed the week. Of course, I did hear that some of them were ac- tually afraid of tiny Nancy Peebles, and I ' m sure the Juniors won ' t soon forget the long line of Seniors from the gym to the second floor the night Recog- nition Week began. Nertz Crenshaw and Joan Collyer certainly took their share of teasing, and so did Pat Penick and Ginny Wilson. Recognition Week ended tonight with the Senior tea. Each Senior received the names of three or four Juniors whom she was to take to the tea. At the time they were to go, she called for her Juniors and escorted them to the front entrance of Senior dining-room, where Peggy Hudgens, as president of the Senior Class, headed the receiving line. Assisted by Mrs. Cowden, the Home Economics students had decorated the dining-room with can- dles, pumpkins, and autumn leaves, so that it really looked beautiful. These girls also prepared the de- We lined up for supper at the Rotary picnic. licious refreshments of all kinds that were served. The Seniors entertained the Juniors at tea. When the tea was over, the members of bofh classes met on the runway and sang. After sing- ing many of the old favorites, the Seniors sang their processional, Hail, Sullins College , and then the members of both classes sang the Alma Mater. Friday, October 20. Dear Diary: We have found quite a bit to do recently. Just a few days ago the Curry Club had a picnic at Abram ' s Falls and, of course, the first thing every- one did was to climb up under the waterfall. Lillie Raney was the first to get to the top, but everyone else followed in one way or another. When every- Page 20

Mrs. Martin (right) and Mrs. Boggess welcomed the guests. one hundred and sixty-five girls in the riding de- partment, the college was very well represented. Some of the good riders left school early and rode the horses out to Steele ' s Creek; others went with me — in the truck. When we got there, Dean Metts had the hotdogs well under control, and the waiters from school were putting out the rest of the food. While we were wait- ing for supper, several dauntless lassies went trip- ping across the Creek on the stepping stones. It is still a wonder to me why Denny didn ' t fall in. This time both Miss Weber and Miss Milbrandt were playing camera men, and the pictures were The Sampler staff gave the first dance. being taken fast and furiously. Dr. Martin was en- joying taking pictures of the horses more than any other part of the picnic, even the supper which was really good. When it began to get dark, the riders started back to school, and soon after, George began taking truckloads of girls back to school. Those who waited till last sat around the fire singing until George came back. On the way home in the truck, we sang old songs and, of course, the Alma Mater. Everyone agreed it was a wonderful picnic. On Friday night we had the first student recital of the year and found that we have quite a bit of talent here. Miss Dorothy Turner accompanied the voice students.

Everyone explored Natural Tunnel. one was thoroughly tired out, we went back to the fire to dry out and satisfy ravenous appetites. Then last Monday night, we had our first con- cert of the year. Simon Barer, pianist, was the art- ist, and the program was really very enjoyable. The concert was given at the Paramount Theatre up town, for all the Bristol people went also. On Wednesday, the Rotary Club took us all to Natural Tunnel for a picnic. Each man filled his car with girls for the long and enjoyable drive. As few of us had seen the tunnel before, we had to ex- plore it thoroughly, and that took most of the after- noon. After several brave explorers had ventured into the ccal field back in the tunnel, the rest of the school followed. In one way or another we explored the country pretty well. After we had satisfied our curiosity, the line be- gan to form for supper. The usual delicious picnic supper was served, and everyone sat around on the ground and ate. Miss Milbrandt and Miss Weber and their trusty cameras were in evidence here as at all affairs as they snapped pictures of everyone and everything. The day closed with only one ac- cident — Virginia Sutton cut her head, but not too seri- ously — and everyone had a wonderful time. » « We took possession of the hotel on the night of the Junior-Senior banquet. Monday, October 23. Dear Diary: Tonight in the ballroom and dining-room of the Hotel Bristol the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The rooms were decorated with autumn leaves, cornstalks, pumpkins, and other reminders of fall. The theme of the banquet was Susie Smith, and highly interesting talks were made by Dr. and Mrs. Martin, Dean Metis, Mrs. Baskervill, Dotty Jackson, Opal Skaggs, and Peggy Hudgens. Peggy read a telegram from Frances Adams, the President of last year ' s Senior Class, wishing us luck and as happy a year as last year ' s class had. Tony Thompson presided as toastmistress. We really enjoyed the dinner, and our Junior hostesses entertained us royally, though at the end The Yellow Cabs came and went, leaving their loads of girls. Page 21
