BISHOP TUTTLE SCHOOL The Tuttle Scliool is more active tliis year in every part of tlie scliool life tlian ever before and lias 1)0011 more rich in iiisi)iration too. Rev. John W. Sntor, Jr., came to us for a Quiet Bay— only lie let us talk to him as much as we waiitetl to and answered all our questions. Mr. Frank Nichols paid one of his ever helpful visits, and ilr. Holiort Uagnall gave us a splendid talk on problems as they are worked with by the 1ST. A. A. C. P., and Mr. T. Arnold I[ill and Mr. John Dancy have discussed the approach from the TJrban League. It has all helped us to see how wide the field is before us. Two of the girls went to the Student Volunteer Convention at Buffalo, and it seems to have opened doors for tis all into tremendous areas of world-wide interests and of personal contacts of the greatest value. Five others have attended a following R(itreat at the University at Chapel Hill, second in power only to the Convention itself. It has been a great experience to come in touch witli Dr. T. Z. Koo. 'I'ho Community House grows in value and in possibilities—and in beauty as it shines in white jiaint. How we are to keep it going through the summer is the question that faces us now. The vacancy on our staff has been most help fully filled by jVIiss (lertrude Acheson who has tlirown herself into the work of the whole school with a vigor that strengthens us all. The mid year examinations arc over, and wo have made a new schodulo for the next semester that jiro- vides some electives, an imjiortant forward step. We are also looking forwanl to two courses from men who eomo to us from Duke University. B. R. EPIPHANY SERVICE ,Tlie Ki)i))hany service marked the close of the many celebrations centered around Christmas. The students and their friends gathered in the chapel to worshij) again with the Wise Men as they followed the guiding star to the Clirist Child and brought their gifts to him. The whole serv ice, observed as it was by peoples of several races, made one realize anew that the same guiding star was lighting the way to Christ for all peoples. The service centered around the light of the star as a symbol of Christ. So, through music and prayers and the guiding words of our leader, we were led to realize that this light is for all peoples. The final lighting of the tapers, each one receiving a light from a neighbor, yet that neighbor’s light in no way impaired through the possession of that light, was the climax of the whole service. Though most of our tapers were blown out at the door, it was noticed that a few children were among the ones who carried the light outside. Was this not symbolic of the place of the Christ Child in the whole service? A few of us in our disappointment that our lights were out hurried home to light them, which again suggests that even though we may lose sight of Christ for a time yet we can return to His guiding light, and the home has its place in bringing this about. So, with the Wise Men on Epiphany we sing— O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright; Westward leading Still proceeding. Guide us to thy perfect light. G. A. NEGRO LITERATURE CLUB By One of the !MEjntERs The Xegro Literature Club at St. Augustine’s College is ])urely an interest group. It is a stu dent activity, sponsored by the Girls Friendly Society. We have had a wonderful time together this year reading “Shades and Shadows,” by (iTOrge Edmonds, and some of Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s short stories. Indeed we were fortunate in having Professor Fletcher of Shaw University to come to us and read some of his most interesting poems. His novel, “The Stagnant Pool,” which is to be re leased in April, will be of great interest to us. On Sunday afternoon, January 10, 1932, mem bers and friends of the club gathered in the living room of Cheshire Building. The program began with the group singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” followed by a talk on the “Origin of the Xegro Spiritual,” a contralto solo, and a read ing. Professor Cahlwell led the group in singing “We Arc Climbing Jacob’s Ladder.” Miss Mary K. Kirk, our capable Girls’ Friendly leader, introduced tiie speaker, ^\frs. Eva M. Holmes, who told us of lier trip to Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s home in Dayton, Ohio. We then en joyed the reading of some original poems by one of our budding poets. A phonograph record was plaj-ed with ifarian Anderson’s rendition of Harry Burleigh’s “Det>p River.” We are now having lots of fun attempting to write some original plays.
