Talk about studious students and
exceptions to rules! Why at Win-
throp College during the first semes
ter more Seniors made the high honor
roll than the combined members of
the Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior
students thus honored.
On Sitting In Church
Health Education must not be so
bad after all, for at Florence State
Teachers’ College of Alabama it was
one of the nine important courses
begun this semester. In addition to
this the school secured a new ship
ment of books for the library.
Scriblerus Group
At Wake Forest forty-two members
of last year’s senior class prepared
themselves for teaching. Out of this
number thirty-nine secured positions.
This year, forty-nine, more than half
the graduating class, are taking tea
chers’ courses. It seems as though
this field would by this time be get
ting a little crowded, but what can
we expect if all great minds run in
the same channels?
It looks as though some athletes
will be forced to “bone” after all,
for the faculty at Wake Forest have
passed a new rule, requiring that all
athletes pass twenty-four hours of
college work before tljey are allowed
to participate in any inter-collegiate
contests during the succeeding year.

When one is as well up in years as
I am, going to church becomes some
what of a habit. The day does not
seem right if one does not go to
church. One who doss not go to
church misses something that can be
found nowhere else. Personally, I
had rather sit in church and see the
sights while I am listening to the
sermon than to hear the sermon and
see nothing as I would most certain
ly do if I remained in my room.
The first thing I usually do upon
entering the church is to find a desir
able location and secure it before
someone else does. My next move is
to look around and see if my “fond
lover” has ventured in, and to see if
he has found a convenient position.
Everyone seems to have taken a
notion to come in at the same time;
therefore I labor under a terrible
strain trying to see them all and also
keep up with those who are climbing
into the choir
Mary is now having a terrible
time trying to convince the girl in
front of her that she would be much
more comfortable if she would slip
down in her seat. Mary feels it her
Christian duty to a certain young
man, seated across the church, to ,
give him the privilege of gazing on
her beautiful countenance.
My roommate now calls my at
tention to the fact that Martha is sit
ting in the choir. Since this is a quite
unusual occurrence, I observe her
closely and notice that she is wearing
a sky blue dress that I have not seen
before.
When my ship comes in, I intend
to shock everybody concerned by put
ting some money in the collection
plate which continues to come by so
faithfully every Sunday.
The preacher has finally started on
his sermon, but I can not seem to get
the drift of it. He seems to be talk
ing to children.
The sun on the colored window
attracts my attention. I look at it for
a while and become so absorbed that
I am counting the divisions before I
know it. I am so attentive to this task

History Of Club Given
Mr. McLeod gave an interesting
history of the club, saying that it was
the first club of the learned formed
at Mars Hill. Miss Ella J. Pierce,
Miss Ethel Gregg, and Mr. McLeod
were the founders, and it was com
posed of a most select group of stu
dents on the campus. The new mem
bers agreed that they would seek to
maintain the high standing of the
club.
Games Played
The spirit of Valentine was present
in the games which followed: One of
these was a “Shakespearean Ro
mance” which caused much merri
ment. After delicious refreshments
were served by the hostess, the guests
donned rubbers and galoshes and
took their departure.

that when I hear a scream it startles
me so that I forget where I have
come to in my counting. The scream
had a masculine sound. I was sure
some boy had seen a rat, but I found
it was the preacher who had become
excited in the course of his sermon.
I listen for a few minutes and try to
find out what got him so excited. I
find that he is talking about the de
pression that we hear so much about.
This does not interest me much, for
I think I know what he is going to
say next. My attention again gets the
wanderlust. The boys are all asleep
by this time and watching them sleep
is not much fun; hence my gaze rises
a little and I begin counting tho
blocks in the ceiling. During this pro
cess, my foot goes to sleep and I have
to change my position. I lose count
of the blocks while doing this and as
I decide it is not worth starting over
I give it up.
Having eaten no breakfast, I begin
to feel a cavity somewhere (probably
in my head.) I then reflect that it is
a good thing that the kitchen is on the
west side of Spilman.
I forget my hunger when I notice
James sitting across the way with a
sick grin on his face. I decide that
he and Elizabeth must have made up,
and I heave a sigh of relief for now

Plans far the Y. W. A. study
course were brought in a most impres
sive chapel program on the morning
of February 21.
The program was rendered by
members of the Y. W. A. and was for
the most part a discussion of the var
ious courses that began February 21
and go through March 23. It was
very interesting as the scene was laid
in the Spilman sun-parlor. Special
music was rendered by Miss Alyce
DeCoursey who sang “0 Zion Haste”
which was being pantomimed all the
while by Y. W. A. members
Practically all the students have
enrolled as the classes are open to
both girls and boys. The classes and
teachers are as follows:
“People of the Jesus Way,” Mr.
Lee; “Europe and the Gospel,” Mr.
Wood; Y. W. A. Manual, Mrs. Coats;
“Stewardship Vitalized,” Mrs. Burn
ett; “Ann of Ava,” Miss Biggers and
Miss Gregg; “Livingston, The Path
finder,” Dr. Moore and Mrs. Wilkins;
“Judson, the Pioneer,” Miss Bowden;
“China’s Real Revolution,” Mr. Olive;
“In the Vangniard of a Race,” Miss
Johnson.
