OUR CLASS AT JAMESTOWN
Two flags went up in a row.
And the people walked to and fro;
Crowds gathered on the mound
To watch the band march round and
round.
The weather was cool and bright,
And we walked with all our might.
Seeing in the Old World and the New
The Truths that we had learned.
Three ships were anchored by the sea,
Slmiliar to those that brought Boston
Tea;
So we went aboard and had a look
At the things we'd been taught from
the history book.
We saw Powhatan’s Lodge and Fort
of Old;
The souvenirs were many and a
story told.
But more time we needed to see
everything, so
Back to the Island someday we’ll go.
The day, we think, was spent very
well.
With much to think about and tell.
A friendly smile from those we met
Made the trip better for all, you bet!
—Georgianna Barnes

HOUSE GOVERNMENT
COMMITTEE AND JUNIOR
COUNSELORS INSTALLED
The official installation of House
Government Committee members
from both Bias and Doles Halls and
also Junior Counselors was held dur
ing the regular Assembly on Wednes
day, November 6.
Preceding the actual installation,
a skit was presented by members of
both groups, depicting curious and
pessimistic freshmen in a dormitory
“buzz session”. In search for answers
to their many questions, they invited
committee members and a Junior
Counselor to help them settle their
problems. When the curtain fell, the
once-pessjmistic freshmen were con
vinced that the House Government
Committee members were there to
help make their college career a hap
pier one, and they wanted to join the
Committee.
At the end of the skit. House Gov
ernment members and Junior Counsel
ors assembled on the stage and took
their pledge as it was administered
by Mrs. Rae E. Williams, Dean of
Women.
Some people become lost in thought
only because it is unfamiliar territory.

s
PANEL ON SORORITIES AND
FRATERNITIES HELD IN
BIAS HALL
I
The Junior Counselors held a panel
discussion on fraternities and sororit
ies in the Bias Hall Lounge on Sun
day, November 17.
This program was arranged because
the Junior Counselors, who have
pledged their assistance to freshman
young ladies, felt that this is the time
when students are, no doubt, con
fronted with many questions about
their interest or non-interest in soror
ities.
Members of the panel were Miss
E. A, Johnson, Dr. E. B. Winston,
and Mr. R. L. Vaughn, who discussed
the pros and cons of Greek Letter
Organizations.
Misses Vivian Markham and Sara
Heckstall were the counselors in
charge. Some freshmen young men
were also in attendance.
A collation was served during the
question-and-answer period.
PYRAMIDS SPONSOR BENEFIT
DANCE
The Pyramid Club of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc. sponsored t h e
Annual Benefit Dance in the Recrea
tion Hall on November 16. The pur
pose was twofold: to have an even
ing of fun and to collect some gar
ments and toys to be given to needy
persons in the community.
Each person attending the dance
brought an article which was put in
a large red and white box placed at
the entrance. This was the price of
admission.
The Hall was beautifully decorated
in the colors of the Sorority, and al
though a nmiiber of students were
away for the week-end, those who
were present greatly enjoyed the
dancing. Pyramid Punch was served
during the intermission.
It was the first dance for several
weeks, and students returned to tlieir
dormitories happy, after having had
a very fileasant evening with the P)Ta-
mids.
JAMESTOWN
(Continued from page two)
’^rincess and the old graveyards.
On our way back we stopped by
the Mariners’ Museum in Warwick,
Virginia. This is a fabulous place with
ship models of all types and practical
ly everything one would find or use
in sea life.
There are many more details an l
much more to tell, but it woll have
to wait until I come home.
This direct experience with our
ea’ly history, for me, made the past
live again. The entire trip was ex
citing and most educational. I do hope
that you will have an opportunity to
share the same experience before the
expedition closes. The next celebra
tion will be in the year 2007.

What most folks are seeking these
days is less to do, more time to do
it in, and more pay for not getting
it done.
