ON PAINTING THE C.AMPUS, BUT NOT RED
.The very first thing we did when we arrived at school
his year (not counting signing the arrival cards) was
7 sinell fresh paint. The Chapel, inside and out, the
V*nt steps and porch of Smedes, all the halhyays, and
'eii klrs. Cruikshank’s house are all newly painted and
terything is as shiny as a brass button. The gym floor,
(that was so dark and dull last year), is so shiny
dh paint and varnish that it looks like one hir mirror.

And wandering around in the buildings, what do we
find but new fountains with ice water in East and West
Kocks, Holt Hall, and in the art building! It makes
us thirsty to think about it. And when we get over to
Holt Ave are met with a new door mat, new blue rugs
(nice and soft) in the parlor, and a big new kitchen in
the attic to take the place of the kitchens on second and
third floors which had to be made over into bedrooms.
Girls, we’ll have that old attic steaming about Saturday
night I
The girls living in West Eock are lucky, whether they
know it or not. Upstairs all the closets have been moved
from the rooms into the hall to gh’e more room. Those
last year West Eockers Avill haA'e to tell the new girls
how much to appreciate the change.
Then there’s the new hockey field. All our athletes
will certainly be glad about that. Hockey is a grand
game, too.
Last, we want to say something about our wonderful
new Handbooks. Just to compare the new ones with
the old makes us proud to know that we’ve put our
Student Government into something exact and definite.
In fact, Ave’re so proud of all these new things, we’re
beginning the year with a happy heart and a broad grin.
FORECASTS
On Saturday night, in the parlor, the new students
will meet the old in the first formal entertainment of
the year. Evening dresses and party spirits will add
gayety to the party, where students will meet fellow
students and faculty. Each new girl will be escorted
by li6r sister^^ and informal entertainment has been
planned. .
Some time soon the Sigma’s and Mu s w^B have their
first party, which ivill feature a competitive basketball
game.
