LUPINE LEAFLET 4I Activities of the Glee Club U U IJ The Glee Club of Westmoorland College has recently given three sacred concerts. The first was presentednat Travis Park Metrodist-Church. Nancy Ellen Rice proved in efficient pianist in her playing of Chopin's Berceuse as the assisting soloist. Other solo numbers were given by Margaret Wilson and Kathleen Hester, Sopranos. Similar programs were given at the College and at McKinley Avenue Church on Sundays, April 29, and May 6, respectively. The club is to assist the music and ex- pression departments in the concluding recitals given in the school auditorium May 21, The Other Side El EI El Janie Sample Our faculty-some folk may think of solely in their shops, but there is another side-I know. Each one has a hobby. It is not golf either. Listen, l'll tell you. The other day I tapped on Miss Allen's door, wanting to speak with her a mo- ment. No one answered my knock, but I could hear someone laughing and talking. Finally, Miss Allen said, come . I went in, and what should I find? There was Miss Allen, Miss Joiner, Miss Barbe, and Miss Marsh playing Rook , with Miss Repass look- ing on. I had to swallow hard, because I couldn't imagine them amusing themselves in that way. K And what could be more unexpected than to hear of Miss Luker enjoying a melodrama once a week and sometimes oftener? She speaks of Douglass Fairbanks as her movie ideal, and she is the English Instructor, and abhors happy endings in class. Goodness! One Saturday evening I passed by the cooking room, and saw 'Miss Middleton making divinity balls with two Seniors. I had an idea that teachers didn't like to get their hands all sticky. j Even Miss Henderson and Miss Elgin can enjoy window shopping. Every Monday they are in town-they seem to be fond of walking and talking-with love-light in their eyes. Q Miss Mainard has almost started a hot-house in the laboratory. One can always find her watering the flowers, and all the while she is smiling at them as if they were telling her something. I have heard of people pulling petals off of flowers and saying, He loves me, he loves me not. ' One may wonder where Miss Ragsdale is several nights out of the week-well, I don't know, but a young fellow passes the study hall windows quite often. On passing through third floor hall -you sometimes smell the odor of tea. If you are very curious, you might stick your head in the door of Miss Runkle's room and find her serving tea to Miss McReynolds and the Misses Loden. The other night Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Hardin started to a concert+Mrs. Ray driv- ing Mrs. Hardin's car--Did they ever get there? In the still of the evening one can hear low tones-of course, they are the voices of Miss Campbell and Mr. Roy. If a wise old owl should be in a nearby tree, per- haps he could tell us more. 5 ' Mrs. Hill is such a busy little woman that we often wonder when she finds time for anythingg but when sheigets 'tfussed up with a new string of beads to match a pretty gown, we know she is ready for a dinner engagement. But most amazing of all, one would scarcely recognize our dignified president, Dr. Hill, enjoying a lively romp with' his dogs. He does not get behind closed doors to play with Lady eitherj He calls her little girl, and hops about as lively as the bird dog puppies themselves. and May 3 0.

42 LUPINE LEAFLET Religious Activities El El El Dorothy Cooper One morning at chapel everyone looked so expectant that anybody might have guessed that there would be a special service. But it exceeded our expectations. Dr. Miller, who was then conducting a revival at Travis Park church, gave the morning talk, not address, and Mr. Stapleton and Mr. Reed entertained us with musical num- bers, while Brother Moore sat on the platform and looked happy. We were, too. But the most prolonged happiness and blessing was that which we enjoyed during the three days' revival service that Brother Moore conducted. His messages were grip- ping, and applied to our lives in such a way that we all received great, spiritual bene- fit. Many girls gave in their names for church membership, and we feel that our group prayer meetings were a great help to us all. During the revival week, we had the pleasure of having Miss Brandstetter, the traveling secretary of the Woman's Council, as our 'guest for a few days. She talked privately with the girls about their plans for life work, and several girls volunteered for life service. She also spoke at chapel and at a meeting of the Mission Study Classes. Miss Riggs, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., made us a visit in connection with our Y. W. C. A. work. She spoke to the student body at a tea which the Y. W. gave in her honor. This year we have two Mission Study classes organized. The foreign study class took India for its subject while the home class emphasized Mexican life in the United States. Both classes went on various trips to interesting places in and near San An- tonio such as the Wesley House, Wesleyan Institute, Casa de Milagros, and a settle- ment of Mexicans called Cementville. We also gave an Easter Hunt for some of the children at the Wesley House. We have greatly appreciated the interest that Miss McReynolds and Miss Runkle have taken in helping us in our study and work. 0232? Exchanges U EI III Esther Preston We have on file as Exchanges, the following papers: Le Pithaya Thorn, Pearsallg The Lane-0, College of Industrial Arts, The J-T A C, Tarleton Agricultural College, and The San Antonio Academy Record. We read the La Pitokya Thorn with much enthusiasm. The review of the ath- letic events is very interesting, and especially did we enjoy reading the social notes. In regard to The J-T A C, we wish to speak a good word for the students of the Tarlton Agricultural College in behalf of their splendid paper. Your articles of gen- eral interest are especially good. Your occasional jokes are always very witty. We look forward with pleasure to the arrival of The J-T A C, which is always here on time. The Lau-0 contains very interesting reading matter. The February issue, con- taining greetings to the fathers and mothers of the students of the College of ln- dustrial Arts, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We give The Lau-0 a high place among the papers. We were delighted to receive the April number of The Academy Record, and found it very interesting and attractive. We read with special interest the review of lf Winter Comes , and must say that it is not only exceptionally well organized, but the insight into the characters of this novel impels interest. Your personals, jokes, and various articles, taken as a whole, are all very good. We hope to receive other num- bers of The Academy Record.
