memory
I can remember how I felt
When you were near and dear.
I can remember how I dreamed,
And wished that you were here.
I can recall each gentle word,
Bach look and promise true
But now, b’ gosh, I can’t recall
Just what I »aw in you.

Said Mr. MaAllister, “If the

he makes a line, with a blank
space for doorway and windov/;
if he is a modest little bug, he has
a line for a door, and another for
blinds. But he is a very ignorant
bug; he doesn’t know, and nobody
can tell him, that if he warts to

Honors this year are Isaiah I.
Sears, Lawrence Cameron, and
Lofton Harris, according to a re
cent announcement by I>ean J. D.
Me ssick.
Under the present system of
reading for Honors, a limited
number of Seniors who have main
tained an average of A during
three years of college is selected
by the Faculty. The candidates
pursue an independent course oi
study in their major fields undei
the direction of their major pro-
fe .sor, and are allowed the op
tion of attending classes and tak
ing examinations. The purpose
of the plan of reading for Honor
is to encourage those student,
who have the ability and ambi
tion to go beyond the minimun
standards of the regular cour^e',.
Besides the reading in each major
field, a general cultural outline
of study is assigned by the Hon
ors Committee. At the enr of the
year a thesis must be presented
and a final examination taken by
each reader before a committee
made up of his major and minor
professors, the Dean, and two
others appointed by the Presi
dent, one of whom must be from
another institution.
A new club has recently beerv
organized, called the “Busine^^i
Administrators”. The club i.^ com

“Business Administrators” are
seeking to increase their know
ledge of the practical side of busi
ness, and are planning to have as
speakers, outstanding busine**
men.
Officers of the Business Ad
ministrators are; I^awrence Far
rell, president; Sam B. Foushee,
vice-president; Henry Morgan,
