He thinks it is speeding up her golf game. 'X' i- -X- Saturday, January 26, the Semi- nary went up against what is con- sidered the best team Athens has had in a long time and came out with a 24 to 13 victory. The Seminary is to be congratu- lated for its spirit and cooperation in spite of the loss of some of its players. The line-up was: Seminary C245 Athens High f13J It would be impossible to over rate the important part Judy King, a Seminary alumna, has played in putting Dixie on the map in the horse-show world. About this time last year, Judy became interested in a group of hackney horses con- sisting of two pairs of horses and one pair of ponies. Judy bought these horses. This winter she has already taken about 27 blue rib- bons and numerous others in a cir- cuit through New York, Toronto, and Canada. 'I 'l' 'X The opening basket-ball game marked the beginning of another dazzling basket-ball career. You played a great game, Georgia! -me-use Edith Reed, the tall eighth grade center, made a superb showing in the inter-class basket-ball games. Now Miss Ligon has an eye on her for future varsity material. xx-is Adams Ml Efikford IGeorgia Oliver recently compli- gaqge film ?lTh' 49, mented the members of the basket- Fslfsfr Eiiwiggs ball squad and the cheer leaders at Quin Tucker a party at the Piedmont Driving Holsenbeck Stegeman Club.

Oral English Class Members of Annual Staf Lunches at Tavern Present Skit to Announce --- Ad, Subscription Drive The Oral English class lunched at the Tavern Tea Room Decem- ber 18. The purpose of this un- usual procedure was to enable va- rious members of the class: to dis- play their prowess at making after- dinner speeches in the correct set- ting. This form of public speaking has long been a terror to both the listener and the speaker, but due to the jovial atmosphere that prevail- ed and the amusing topics of the different speakers, the experiment proved to be very profitable as well as very interesting. Thanksgiving Oferings Overflow Red Cross Basket Never has a basket groaned un- der such weight as did the Junior Red Crors basket filled by the High School for Thanksgiving. lt over- flowed into bags and boxes on all sides. Mrs. Stewart's room gave a Thanksgiving offering of 32.50 to Red Cross headquarters. It was used to buy food for those who needed it. Members of the Annual staff pre- sented a skit in the school audito- rium on December 4. The line:-, written by Gladys Cook, showed the various elements which com- bined, make up that book the school is inclined to take rather for grant- ed, overlooking the efforts of those whose labors make it possible. Gladys Cook, Mary Elizabeth Barge, Nina Fuller, Julia Hoyt, and Harriette Milam took part in the program, not to forget a mem- ber of Grade 2, Polly Tate, who, scantily clad in crepe paper, stood upon a bench and gravely observed the proceedings from this elevated position. After each member of the group had spoken her lines, which, to the amazement and admiration of the audience, rhymed perfectly and had all the earmarks of true genius, Sibylla Pringle announced that the Senior Class had subscribed in a body for their Annuals, and ex- pressed tl1e hope that the other classes would rapidly follow this excellent example. Mrs. S. R. Dull Entertains Eighth Grade Girls At Cooking Party Mrs. S. R. Dull, Mary Frances Broach's grandmother, entertained several of the eighth grade girls at a cooking party on a Saturday morning in January. The girls proved to be excellent cooks. Their buttermilk biscuits were delicious, and could in no way be compared to the well-known bride's biscuits tl1at the dog mistook for bones. Besides the biscuits they cooked hamburgers and stickies, the latter being a delicious kind of cinnamon roll. They ate these delicacies for lunch. Mrs. Dull surprised them with a frozen des- sert. Miss Bessie Directs New Banking System A system of banking has recently been installed at the Seminary. Miss Bessie is the head of the bank. A method has been worked out that will show girls who do not know how a withdrawal slip looks something about the extensive process of banking. This system will make life easier for the poor, over-burdened parents, who, in the past, have shouldered the respon- sibility of the entire treasury of some class or club. Miss Bessie will show the treas- urers of these publications, staffs, and clubs exactly what happens when money is deposited or witl1- drawn from the bank. The interest accrued will be divided among the depositors. Friday is the omcial banking day. All deposits of the preceding week must be made to her before Friday, and recorded in the small, orange- colored bank book of each treas- urer. The treasurers are learning to till out both deposit and with- drawal slips. College Prep Club Meetsg Hears Agnes Scott Girls The College Prep Club elected oliticers at a call meeting in Octo- ber. They are Mary Elizabeth Barge, president: Mary Harrison, vice-presidentg Jane Franklin, :fec- rctaryg Isabel Boykin, treasurer. Miss Martin again assumes her position as sponsor. The first regular meeting of the club was held at the home of Mary Elizabeth Barge. Agnes Scott Col- lege was the subject of the pro- gram. The college was represented by Washington Seminary alumnae who now attend Agnes Scott. Dormitory Doings Although our boarders are com- paratively few, they are a goodly lot, and a happy and successful year is anticipated. Among our little circle are Bob- bie Hightower, Edwina Johnston, and Virginia Mercer, who are old vets : Martha Gordy, who needs no introduction: Amelia Flor, Mar- jorie May Carter, Betty Barlow, Trudy Dickey, and two temporary boarders, Janet and Eleanor Rich- ards. The first event of the boarderr' year was the concert of the mag- nificent Bori, October 18. My! lf only one of our group could be- come as famous as Lucrezia Bori! We all wonder just why a cer- tain member of our clan waits longingly each night for the blow- ing of a certain Ford V8 horn! Can anyone offer the solution? Names of Fifteen Girls On Honor Roll for Term The honor roll for the half-year carries the names of fifteen stu- dents, As the requirement for mak- ing the honor roll for the term is an average of A or A+ in all sub- jects, it's quite an accomplishment to rate it. The following girls made the team honor roll as well as that of the third report period: Seniors-Mary Elizabeth Barge, Helen Bell, Rachel Burton, Doris Coleman, Lucia Ewing, Martha Gordy, Ann Littlepage, and Helen Roberts. ' Juniors - Mary Harrison and Peggy Hughes. Sophomore A's-Betty Ann Bird and Miriam Dinwidclie. Sideshows Featured At Junior Party The Junior Class Thanksgiving party, given at the gym yesterday, was a big ruccess. Among the outstanding features of the party were the sideshows. The Siamese Twins, the VVorld's Greatest Swimming Match, Tina- Tina-the Head without a Body. all attracted much attention. An- other event of interest, as always, was the Baby Show in which many of the Seminary's best babies took part. Adding much to the financial success of the party was a raffle in which chances were sold on a turkey, a box of candy, and a corsage. The winners were very much pleased with their luck. Sev- eral attractively decorated tables, heavily laden with tempting food, were quickly sold out.
