You have read of the undefeated basketball lassies, the best in the state, in the last issue of this paper. And you may be assured that the spirit of hiking has been kept up by the fact that the following list of persons are eligible for numerals: Arney Hall, Ruth Hoover, Mary Stone, Ber tha Brown, Katherine Powell, Louise Callo- Avay, Eula Belle Davis, and Louise McConnell.

(Continued from Page Four) they wished that they could have stayed until school was out. Our classmates have been very active in the field of dramatics, music, and physical edu cation. All in all, our year has been very pleasant and it is with fond remembrance that we bid farewell to it. THE FRESHMEN During the first six weeks of the college year, it was difficult for the members of the present Freshman class to adjust themselves to Bennett College for Women. Not being properly adjusted, they did not participate in onj' activities but the social acivities, which were given in heir honor. After the first six weeks had passed, and onlj. one member of thC' class was on the honor roll, the class bt>- gau to realize that they were there for some thing else rather than socializing. Then, they did some hard and good work. This is what they have; done: 1. Entered religious activities and gave their best support. 2. Fourteen girls gave the Glee Club their support, and one entered the second quar tette, while three participated in the quin tette. 3. Produced three stars for the Girls’ Champion Basketball Team of North Carolina, 4. Increased the number on the honor roll from one to eight, w'hile one student earned A in all subjects. 5. Adjusted themselves and are developing a good philosophy off life, as every intelligent college girl should do., After enjoying g, successful school year, each girl will try tO' return next year and enjoy a better year.

PRESENT AGE IS AGE OF CHEMISTRY Do not let your friends in Greek or His- toy think that you are sitting up with the dead as they are doing. Tell them a few snappy stories from McPherson and Hender son’s Chemistry or General Chemistry, by Kendall, and they will begin to look on you with respect. Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer and chemist, devoted his life to the study of ex plosives, especially to the manufacture and stabilization of nitroglycerine. Before his death he developed into a pacifist, and planned to use his wealth to promote the ad vancement of civilization and the abolition of war. The bulk of his estate was accord ingly bequeathed to establishing five prizes, to be awarded annually, with distinction of nationality to such as had done mankind greatest service in each of the five fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, idealistic liter ature, and the promotion of peace. The Nichols Medal, established in 1902 through the generosity of W. H. Nichols, is awarded annually for the best original paper that has been published during the preceding year in anyi one of the journals of the Amer ican Chemical Society. Other awards given yearly are: Perkin Medal Awards, Willard GiBTbs Medal Awards, and the American Chem ical Society Award. None of the awards listed above may ever reach you, but I trust that you will always feel with the old author of “Physica Subter- ranea”: “The chymists are a strange class of mor tals impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasure among smoke and vapor, scot and flame, poisons, and poverty, yet among all theeMJ evils ly that may I die if ]|||H|lnd chjfnge places with the Persian King^^^ M.
