COLLEGE HISTORY In the last days of fair September, there assembled on the green about thirty members of the College Department. We elected our officers and started on our year ' s work. With our program before us we set out to enjoy ourselves and to be of service to all around us. Hikes, outings, receptions, and all kinds of good times were to come our way. Our first endeavor to strike the chords of jollity and mirth was made when we hiked out to Long Hill under the bright blue skies of early October. Romping over the rocks and skipping stones across the river was real sport. A campfire on the rocks was an ideal place to roast wieners and marshmallows. And when the leaves on the trees were red and yellow, and all the mountains were looking their gayest, we wended our way to Cumberland Gap. Early in the morning the Pinnacle challenged our metal. We clam- bered over rocks and around boulders, holding to their rough and rugged sides. At noon we built a stone stove and roasted our bacon and boiled our coffee. A mure hungry group of people never surrounded a campfire, and nobody ever did better justice to a meal than we. On Hallowe ' en we gathered the whole school into the gymnasium. Witches, Ghosts, and real people from the four corners of the earth, with round heads,, and long heads, and box heads, and white faces, and black faces, and false faces were there. A real Spooksburg there was. with witches, brooms, black cats, skull and cross bones and all. When all had tasted the witches concoction and eaten the enchanted cake we bade them a merry good-night and pleasant dreams as they passed along the receiving line. Honor and honesty is our slogan ; we have pledged it to each other ; we have pledged it to our teachers. We have fairly faced the question. Every member stands true. Along with the rest of the Colleges we stand with an honor system to which we are loyal to the last man. Springtime is here. Yes ! — and Dishman Springs is our goal. W. D. Archibald. President.
