ALPHA IOTA PI HOLDS US REGULAR MEETING Mr, Theodore Rondthaler Speaks of Horace On Thursday night, February 14, Alpha Iota Pi held its regular meet ing in the recreation room of the Louisa Wilson Bitting Building. Ap proximately twenty old members and five new ones were present. The meeting was opened by the singing of the well known and be loved. “Integer Vitae,” from Book I of Horace’s XXII Ode. After a brief introduction by Margaret Schwarze, the president of the club, Mr. Kondthaler, who is principal of Clemmons school, commented on the joy of finding twenty-five persons who knew, were interested in, be lieved in, and were happily enter tained by Latin. He then began, with the club members a re-visit to Sabine Farm, Horace’s beloved country abode. The speaker said that the joy of his visit to Rome was further enhanced by the presence of one of his former Latin teachers at the University, because the two met, not as student and teacher, but as fellow tourists and lovers of that great city and her poets and states men. The journey to the' Sabine farm was made, suitably, partially by foot in the lovely afternoon hours of an Italian March day. So vividly de scriptive were Mr. Rondthaler’s words, that the furniture of the rec reation room gave way to the rocks, boulders, olive trees, red oaks and luxuriant vegetation of the Italian landscape; the light became the sleepy sun; and the cement floor was the lovely mosaic of the ancient farm house.

HEARS INTERESTING TALK TUESDAY EVENING Mrs. Busbee Discusses “Today’s Hobbies” Mrs. Julianna Busbee, of Jugtown, was the guest and siteaker of the Winston-Salem branch of the Amer ican Association of University Wom en, at the Tuesday evening meeting, held in the Recreation Room of the Louisa Bitting Building. By request, Mrs. Busbee spoke on “Today’s Hobbies.” This is one of the series of subjects being dis cussed for the group this year, all of which relate to the theme ‘ ‘ To day’s Challenge.” Mrs. Busbee was w^ell qualified to speak on this sub ject, due to her varied interests. She thoroughly believes in hobbies, both as divertisenient and as an opportun ity to accomplish something definite. Her idea of a hobby is doing •what one really wants to do and not do ing something merely because it is the vogue or style. One may have many hobbies simultaneously but when one ceases to hold interest, cast it aside and enter upon some new one, for the field of choice is large and the possibilities far-reach- ing. Well known for her interest in ed ucation, Mrs. Busbee has attracted nation wide attention through her parent-teacher work at the district school near her home in Moore Coun ty. Gaining co-operation of the citi zens of her community, she has en couraged the employment of the highest type teachers and has made this possible by attractive induce ments. The natural arts and crafts of Xorth Carolina are another of Mrs. Busbee’s pet interests. She is in strumental in gletti;ng before the public and on the market many hand made articles of North Carolina workmen, especially those of pottery. EXCHANGE, COLUMN Did you know' that: 1.
