There are more and broader activities which demand our loyalty and support in the school as a whole than in the class, and these can succeed only through th( operation of all students. There should very properly be a keen, friendly rivalry between the classes, for that, at least shows an interest in what the others are doing. In a small school co-operation of all the classes is especially necessary if the students wish to have a strong school. The question, then, resolves itself into whether we shall narrowly restrict our support to our own class or extend it to all the others. The regular Y. W. C. A. Vesper service on Sunday evening, Febru- ary 26, will be in the hands of the Advisory Board. The program prom ises to be very interesting. There will be 'talks by Miss Smith, Miss Hall and Mr. Campbell. Mrs. Rondthaler, Miss Stipe and Miss Leftwich will have charge of the devotionals and Miss Osborne will sing. PARAGRAPHICS It would be an interesting task to count and tabulate the many and widely different activities which have contributed to the swelling of the fund for covering the swimming pool. From sweat shirts to cabarets is a long jump, and in between are sandwiches, dances, moonlight dips in the pool and vaudevilles, each bringing in its share of substantial WHAT DO YOU READ? Can you enjoy reading a good book, listening to a fine piece of music, studying a beautiful picture? Do you see in true art a source of pleasure, of cultural development, of spiritual uplift.^ Or, do you num ber yourself among those who have accustomed themselves to a diet of morbid, sensationpi, unhealthful ■eading, who can find pleasure i nusic except jazz, who turn away from masterpieces of art with indif ference.^ We wonder sometimes whether the modern college woman ever has the le or inclination for cultural pur- its, particularly for reading. She seems to have an abundance of time for reading which is the opposite of cultural. The latest sensation never lacks devotees among college stud ents and sellers of popular maga zines reap fortunes from the colle giate reading public. Some popu- magazines have their good points. Others, apparently, have The plea is always brought for- 3rd that there is not time for any thing but the lightest kind of read- is undoubtedly true that for many girls, leisure time comes brief periods when it hardly seems worth while to begin reading. T rious reading, however, as well frivolous reading can be done short periods, and an hour spent reading a chapter or two of a good novel seems much more satisfactor ily spent than an hour devoted to perusal of the comic sheet, a motion picture magazine or a volume of “Snappy Stories.” The reader of worth-while books he i; feel but circles where good books read and discussed. It means a lot to be familiar with some of the master-pieces of classic and modern literature. It means still more to be able to enjoy them and to appre ciate artistic values. well to consider whether, as a member of present-day society, you can afford to lower your taste to the level of some of our modern productions whose chief recommen dation is that they have been sup pressed after the first edition; oi wliether, on the other hand, you will be glad for having spent some of your spare moments with books whose qualities are enriching and lasting. The Athletic Association is g ing a Cabaret entertainment Saturday evening, February 15, the recreation room of Alice Clewell building. Original acts will presented and food will be sold, the proceeds to go to the fund for ering the swimming pool. The annual Student Friendship campaign will begin on Monday, March 5, and will continue until Saturday, March 10. AT LEISURE When the song’s gone out of your life That you thought would last to the end. That first sweet song of the heart That no after days can lend. You can start no other song Nor even a tremulous note Will falter forth on the empty air. It dies in your aching throat. So let the silence softly fall On the bruised heart’s quivering strings. Perhaps from the loss of all. You may learn the song that the seraph sings; A grand and glorious psalm. That will tremble and rise and trill. And fill your heart with its great ful rest. And its lonely yearnings still. ’TIS SPRING AT THE IDEAL Fashions Newest and Most Authentic Dictates in COATS : SUITS : ENSEMBLES DRESSES ; HATS : ACCESSORIES A most appealing presentation of Cotton, Silk and Woolen Fabrics P A Y U S A VISIT ji.-. - The THE IDEAL TRADE AND WEST FOURTH Schubert Program In Music Hour Schubert’s Pieces Played o phonic Victrola The celebration of the Schubert Centennial was continued on Thurs day, February 23, at music hour. Dean Vardell played the orthophon- ic records of Schubert’s “Trio, 13 flat Major.” All four movements of the trio—^the allegro, the andante, the scherzo, and the rondo—were dered in the series of records. The composition was beautifully played by Thibaud, the greatest French violinist, Casals, the world’s great est cellist, and Cortot, the greatest living French pianist who gave a vivid interpretation. The trio dis played to the fullest extent the markable genius of its composer whose works are, as Dean Vardell has said, too great for close analys Current Events SLUMP IN THE MARKET! A Lament.

It seems now that something needs to be said to remind some students of another necessary side of school spirit. That is a loyal and wholehearted co-op- eration among the various classes: in other words, school spirit as op posed to class spirit; or rather, school spirit in addition to class spirit, for the two may be joined. It has been noted very often that after the girls in one class plan som( tivity and work hard to make success, they are supported chiefly by the members of their sister class and by the faculty, and very poorly by the rest of the students. Class spirit is, of course, most desirable and necessary, but it loses its value if it becomes so strong as to exclude school spirit. The class is only a small group in the school; therefore, the group spirit in a class is narrower than that in the Greensboro, N. C., Feb. 19 (CP) -At a recent mass meeting of the students of N. C.

In truth, he altogether charmed by the place that he could hardly tear him self away, and quite outstayed the welcome which was accorded him at first, for which he took a very nasty revenge by dropping arrows hit-or- miss upon the heads of the innocent faculty. Having delivered those parting shots, he used his thumb and his nose in a quite illegal manner and left for parts unknown. Alas, he seems to have disap peared utterly leaving behind him a trail of hearts which are heart- breakingly whole, and of left-hand fourth fingers which are severely unadorned. We have searched the campus until our eyes ache, but we find nothing, not even footprints. Romance is dead and the formerly ing stock of Love and Matrimony Incorporated is lumping point by point at a sickening rate. Could lything be sadder? It used to be in those same good old days, that the seniors gave us some occasional sport. We remem ber regarding several budding ro mances when interest in the absorb ing affairs of the faculty flagged. Now, even that is gone. A certain well-known personage was heard to ■k sometime since that there were only two seniors who “friends,” which cryptic remark fills with anxious foreboding. Is the ;sent senior class a prospective bevy of unclaimed blessing's ? Oh, rely not that! Our poor head throbs from strug gling fruitlessly with problems which seem to have no solution. Where is Cupid.? Who killed ro mance.? Won’t somebody please have a desperate love affair so that we may have something to talk about. We must have some delectable mor sels to roll about else gossip may follow romance to the grave, leav ing stark tragedy behind.
