best actress and the best scene

The incoming Junior Class
has merited certain Senior privi
leges. They will now be allowed
to stay out unchaperoned until
10:30 on week nights and 10:55
on Saturday nights; they will
have five weekends instead of
the usual four. That they can
go to dances in groups of two is
another provision of the recent
ruling. Tentative plans for this
new rule were brought to a cul
mination and it was put into ef
fect, because the incoming Jun
ior Class has proved its ability
to inaugurate the new privilege
and responsibility.

On Tuesday afternoon. May
8, Mr. John Rembert and Miss
Hortense Liles reigned as Duke
and Duchess over the annual
Student-Faculty Play Day. This
is a day which is set aside during
each year for the relaxation of
students and teachers Every
one tries to forget all classroom
cares for at least one afternoon
so that they may enjoy to the
fullest extent the varied recrea
tional activities and the picnic
supper which closes the evening.
Under the sponsorship of the
Athletic Association, the play
day committee, headed by Mary
G. Turner, organized games such
as archery, horseshoe, tennis,
riding, shuffleboard, ping-pong,
badminton, and croquet. The
highlights of the day were the
Student-Faculty volleyball
game and softball game.
The competition was on a
class basis. Both students and
teachers challenged members of
other classes to a game. If these
challenges were not accepted,
the group challenged had to for
feit. The winners of the matches
were reported to the Duchess
who tabulated them. The Fac
ulty and the Sophomore Class
were tied at the end of playday;
so, a championship match of
croquet was played. The Fac
ulty group was victorious, thus
giving them claim on another
play-day victory. On the two
main events, the Faculty won
the softball game and the Stu
dents won the volleyball game.
Look all around you on the
campus. See anything new?
Anyone standing on her head?
Or doing back flips? Or diving
over a hedge? Well, don’t be sur
prised, for it’s only some mem
ber of the new tumbling class
doing her homework. Yes, Mere
dith is now training circus acro
bats, although the members of
the class claim that they don’t
want a job in a circus, only
grace, muscles, and a body
beautiful. Of course, it looks
like rather a hard way to be
come beautiful, but I am told
that after you are initiated by
being dropped on your face from
shoulder height three or four
times everything becomes easy.
This is the first year that
tumbling has ever been taught
on the campus, and the class this
year, taught by Mrs. Foster, has
accomplished wonders. They
can do forward rolls, head stands,
hand stands, back laends, elbow
stands, cartwheels, and such
couple stunts as stomach balance
and the hand stand on knees.
Fourteen out of twenty people
have learned to do the head
stand who couldn’t do it before,
and everyone in the class can
dive over two or three people,
while Carolyn Powers can dive
over seven or eight at one time,
ending up in a forward roll,
and Flora Ann Lee can run and
do a flip in the air without touch
ing her hands on the mat.
This class is so good that Miss
Peterson had them put on a show
for her home room teachers last
Friday night in the gym. If you’d
like to see them, why not sug
gest to Mrs. Foster that they put
on a show for everyone? Maybe
we can all learn to stand on our
heads.
