They can yell, beat on pans, waste baskets, or anything that will make a loud noise. Going- up day is really a farewell for the seniors. Each class gathers around the rotunda and sings to the seniors and of course the seniors reply with a song. The seniors are in the dome, the juniors are at the fourth floor rotunda, the sophomores at third floor rotunda and the freshmen at second floor ro tunda. As the seniors come down from the dome and pass the clas ses, the juniors move up to the dome as rising seniors, the soph omores move up to fourth floor men move up to third floor as rising sophomores. After the classes have moved up, the sen iors go out front and sing the friendship song around the flow er bed. -A- Socities SpoRsor Seniors Take-Offs After a day of slipping ia- nuiliar clothes from the Ben- ior’s closets and going tbpough an extra practice of different accents and personalities, the annual iprogram of imitating the seniors was given May 21 in the auditorium.

Steppe Receives Traditional Painting An ajtist, unknown to us, gave a painting to Helen Kirk patrick in 1937. Every year since that t-ime it has been handed down to a rising sen ior in the conservatory, who Is felt to be most woithy of the honor. The subject of the painting is a young man who seems to be in deep thought. It is diffi cult to determine his exact fea tures due to the impressionis tic style of painting. He has a prematurely gray streak oiver his forehead. Each owner adds her own touch to the painting, signi her name and year of gradua tion on the back of the can vas, and then passes it on to the music student she consid ers outstanding. Some of the past owners have been Frances Nassif, ’50 Phyllis Dyer, ’51, Elaine Pierce, ’52, Nancy Hammond', ’53, Nan cy Galloip, ’54, and Sarah Dud ley, ’5.5.

FMG Student Awarded Oanfortli Sctiolarship Each year college students from all oiver the United States put in their applications for the Danforth Scholarship. These students are selected from the college by the faculty. There is only on student from each school. The scholarships are awarded by the Danforth Foun dation on the basis of the ap plicant’s leadership and past ac tivities. For the past three years a Flora Macdonald girl has been awarded the Danforth Scholar ship. In 1953 Sallie Ann Mun- roe received it; in 1954 Norma Pittard was awarded it, and last year Hazel McLean was the recipient of this award. The girl receiving this award spends two weeks at a Leader ship Training Conference for older girls at Camp Minawanca on Lake Michigan. The stress of this conference is on four fold development — Religious, Mental, Physical and Social. There are programs presenting outstanding speakers. All ex penses except transportation are paid by the Foundation. This year Flora Macdonald will again be represented in this group of girls fom all over the United States. Our representative for this year is Vice-President of the W.F. Council, a member of the Choral Club, Classical Club, William Bartram Scientific So ciety and Associate Editor of the Skirl. She is on the Honor Roll, a Prayer Band' Leader and was president of the fresh man class. To a very wonderful girl and a campus favorite we extend our congratulations to Jeanne Flournoy!
