and inspiring talk on the life of Es

Esther as a beautiful and unselfish
character, showed how she remained
unchanged towards her native people
in spite of the grandeur and splen

participated as queen.

great struggle, and the Freshmen

a score of 33 to 21.
Tile Freshmen and Sophomores
entered the game equally determined
to win and the first quarter opened
with pep and vim. The quarter was
fully half over before the forwards
of either team could make a goal,
so closely did the guards watch
them. Finally the forwards broke

and alternately between
teams the score rose until at the end

SONG SERVICE REPLACES
regular Y. W. VESPERS
The regular Y. W. C. A. Vesper
service was held on Sunday evening,
Nov. 25, in the Campus Living
Room. Due to the fact that the
speaker of the evening failed to aj
pear, a short song service was ei
joyed. Many old familiar hymi
were used, and since the meeting
was a very informal one, various
girls present selected their favorite
songs and asked that they be sung.
Mary Johnson conducted the Scrip
ture reading and Marion Allen read
a short selection.
'Thanksgiving,” says Mr. Robert
Gribben, Rector of St. Paul’s
Church, “is a subject that is of in
terest to everyone.”
On Wednesday morning at the ex
panded Chapel Hour, Mr. Gribben
made a very interesting talk on the
subject of “Thanksgiving.”
Why should we be thankful on this
speetial day? There are many rea
sons we should. First, we should
realize that the day is given for
Thanksgiving. It is set apart as a
holiday, but not a holiday of the
; nature that some of our holi
days are, it is reserved for worship.
Although in modern times many peo
ple have come to look upon Thanks
giving day as a time for sports of
all kinds, a time to see a good foot
ball game, go hunting, or take a trip.
There are some, however, who real-
that it is possible to give thanks
and have a certain amount of pleas-
too. They may go to a football
game and enjoy it, but first they go
place of worship. Then, the day
given to us for a special purpose,
id W€ should use it for that pur
pose. To do otherwise would be
guilty of misuse of a trust or con
fidence, and even those of us who
would be guilty of betraying the
confidence of a friend, proper to
deal fairly with God. The only day
of the year in which the church and
State combined ask us to do one
thing is Thanksgiving day. To ob
serve Thanksgiving is the only relig
ious thing the executives of our
government have the right to ask the
people to do. It is a call to join
law and gospel to light.
All persons who think of the great
goodness of God are obliged to feel
thankful, for the two words, think
and thank, originated from the same
word. Likewise, therefore all per
sons who give thanks are compelled
to think first about that for which
they are giving thanks. It is a
good thing to give thanks to God.
We should all try to cultivate a
spirit of thankfulness, but we should
remember that we have other things
than the material for which to be
thankful. We should think of the
spiritiual blessings that have been
bestowed on us. We should thank
God for the life of man.
In eoncrusion Mr. Gribben said,
“The measure of appreciation for
giving is the way in which the thing

HAT DISPLAY BY HOME
ECONOMICS CLASS
Freshmen Design Unique Hats
Last week the hats made by the
Freshman classes in Home Econom
ics were on display in the trophy
case in Main Hall. The desi^s
were decidedly tailored and individ
ualistic, and the workmanship was
perfected in neatness.
The hats were made from felt
costing $2.50 a yard. Six hats were
cut from one yard of felt, making
the cost of each hat very inexpensive.
These hats were made after the
students had studied art principles,
which enabled them to desigTi a 1:
suitable to their individual tastes.
