made a profound impiession of the
girls, and left them with something to
think about.
'ihe work of the Y. W. choir is espe
cially commendable. Misses Laura
Howell and Mattie Bowling, violinists,
add much to the accompaniments.
Singing will fill a large part of the
W. program for the commg year.
INITIAL MEETING OF RIDING
CLUB IS HELD.
VOLLEY BALL BEGINS WITH A
VIM—FULL TEAMS OUT ON
TUESDAY.
That volley ball, though not as stren
uous and as complicated as basket bail,
is a good game, is evidenced by the
interest that is being taken in this
sport. More than enough players to
make sister-class teams were out to
practice 'i'uesday, and others are plan
ning to enter the contest. The fact
that the Senior-Sophomore team won
the first half of the practice game, and
that the Jj'reshman-Junior team won
the second shows that there is good
material on both sides, and that com
petition will be keen.
A GOOD START IN BASKET-BALL.
Firt basket-ball practices are always
of especial interest both to the
coach and to the girls entering this
particular sport—to the coach because
of her natural interest in the teams as
well as her desire to make this season
one of hard work, good fellowship, ana
earnest competition; to the girls be
cause of their part in this phase of col
lege activity and their very natural
desire to make their class team the
best of all.
The interest in the first practice on
last Monday was manifest in the num
bers who were out and the real eager
ness of them all to start the season in
the right way. That the girls fully
enjoyed playing again was obvious.
If a good beginning assumes future
success, it is certain that the Thanks
giving games will not be lacking in
that respect.

At a fairly respectable hour the
group broke up, put out the fire, col

and slowly wound its way to the street

a moon?
REV. J. KENNETH PFOHL AD

The Association Has Made a Splendii.
Start On the New Year.
Last Friday evening, September
29th, a large number of girls assem
bled in Recreation Hall for the reg
ular Y, W. C. A. meeting. After
scripture reading by Miss Julia Hairs
ton, vice-president, Mr. Pfohl sang a
beautiful solo, accompanied by Mrs.
Pfohl at the piano. Miss Laura
Howell, head of the social service com
mittee, then announced the program
for the fall. This committee is plan
ning to render active service by direct
ing the play time of the children at
the home. Many of the girls have
volunteered to tell stories and direct
games. Miss Eliza Gaston Moore
then introduced the speaker of the
evening.
Mr. Pfohl took his text from the
choice of Solomon in asking his gift of
God. He said that all of us, too, had a
choice to make, and that the danger
lay not in the fact that we would no.
choose the good, but that we might
not choose the best. This address
interest Evidenced by Large Atten
dance—jVIembcrs ot Both Faculty
and ol' Siuaent Body l^'resi.nt.
As many Salem gins are interested
in liorae-back riding, a Riding Club it
being formed to entourage participa-
Lion in this wholesome sport. 'I'ha'L
the organization will be a success is
assured by ihe well attended meeting,
and by th^ plans made lor the futuie.
Mr. i^'isher will diiectly co-operate
with the officials of the club in sup
plying horses at reasonable rates and
at special times. Miss Dorothy Ses-
soms was elected secretary of the
club, while Misses Foreman and Left-
wich, and Mrs. Best, of the faculty,
will form a board of directors, or ex
ecutive committee. It is evident that
the number of enthusiastic horse
women among our number will rapidly
increase.
