EARLY MORNING STUDY Don’t let tomorrow take care of itself so well that you have to get up the next morning to study the day’s test and assignments. Getting up early in the morning is one of the most useless ])ro- eedures that a college girl practices. It can become a habit among all classes of students. The habit is detrimental to the best method or system of study, for it induces a student to delay preparation which could be accomjilished within the average school day. Early morning study leads to a constant neglect of lessons, since the student is in a non-receptive state of mind. Some students sa}" that they can concentrate better at an early hour, but the majority feels somewhat ske])tical when the alarm breaks the silence at 5:30 on a cold dewy morning. Perhaps we should justify getting up early during examinations? Certainly not, for preparation should consist of only a few hours of systematic, concentrated review of what has been learned. Those students who set alarm clocks and turn them off before drifting back into slumber are wiser than those yawning sleepy heads who waste two perfectly good hours in the morning in painful effort to learn something through an unwilling and unreceptive brain. A LUCKY CHOICE “Happiness grows at our own firesides and is not to be picked up at stranger’s doors.” Why shouldn’t we all know the art of being happ3p since it is so near. We are all seeking happiness, yet many of us fail to find it. Ever}' student at Queens-Chicora can acquire real happiness, for it is a product of conditioning. It is a response which we can encourage. Although we may not be able to control our surround ings, we can control our attitude by individual choice. We can make our everyday life at school happj’, not by changing rules and altering circumstances but bj' changing our attitudes. Instead of becoming dissatisfied, discontented, and critical, let us become happy. The choice is ours. THANKSGIVING How glad we are that the Pilgrim Fathers celebrated Thanks giving in 1621. The day is particularly fortunate for college girls, who have the following Friday and Saturday as holidays. It is impossible to believe that the Continental Congress appointed thanksgiving days and that Lincoln in 1864 appointed the fourth Thursday in November for Thanksgiving without a prophetic view and plan for football games and a nice vacation for college students between the opening of school and Christmas holidays. The boys at State celebrated Dad’s Day. A large program of entertainment was rendered to the entertainment of the hun dreds of friends and parents who visited the college. Student explorers of Washing ton and Lee tell weird tales of ad venture in a cave. This cave was one that figured largely in stu dent recreation before the days of automobiles and week - end trips.—The Ring-turn Phi. The girls at Farmville State 1'eachers’ College staged their annual circus on November 5. This year old man depression was boiled and his skeleton brought forth as jmoof that the old fellow was at last at his life’s ebb. —Hampden-Sj'dney Tiger. The union Philanthropic Liter- ar\' Society of Flampden-Sj'dney is planning a definite semester program. That’s right! Come on !—Hampden Sydney Tiger. Dr. Schurman, educator and di plomat, speaks to corps at V. M. I. on Germany, its international relation and conditions. domestic political THE SHAD ^\'ell. here we are again, snoop ing around as usual. And as usual our snoops haven’t been in vain. We’ve learned lots of things. Stunt night is at last over, and did the Shadow enjo\' it? We’ll sa}' so. And as we alwaj'S do, the Shadow has an opinion as to rvho should have won. All the stunts were good, we admit, but their stunt was “just lovely.” The freshmen did have a darling song. Rachel Flamilton is to be com mended for her fine work. Didn’t you love Net IMalloy’s muscles and Catherine Culp’s villianous mustache ? One of our under-class council members certainh' is in love. All she does is talk about her John. Did you know he has the ])rettiest brown eyes?” Well, we do be cause we heard her sa}’ so—sev eral times. All of which causes us to di gress. Love is one of the Shadow’s favorite themes, and we welcome an}- opjiortimity to talk about it. Poing in love is the most beauti ful thing in the world. There is nothing else so wonderful, so thrilling. It is breath-taking in that it is so absolutely different from everything else that only those in love can really under stand it. Being in love is an ex perience everyone wants to have —it is the right of every girl. It’s the most glorious experience in the world—while it lasts. The Shadow has decided to give the low-down on certain peculiar ities, or likes and dislikes of girls on the campus. We’ve known some of them for a long time, and we haven’t been snooping around without learning a few things. Did you know about Mary ^fining’s unusual fondness for tomato juice—Jo Foard’s love for ap])les. Flonestly, Jo would eat api)les if the dormitory were burning down — Alary Brown likes nothing better than to give a one - woman fashion show, modeling her friends’ (or any- bodv’s) clothes—Evelyn MacMil lan’s fondness for walking, early and late — Reid Ramseur’s like ness to El Brendel. We wonder how Toi enjoyed losing her mind this ])ast week end. She hardly remembered things that happened in Septem ber. Things look serious in the Tweed famil}-. June is going to visit “his” family in Washington, D. C., Thanksgiving. Luck to you, June. We’ve heard lots of guesses as to who the Shadow is, but no body is right so far. And please be more careful in your decisions. We’ve been rather insulted at some of the guesses made. Well, ho])e everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and you’d better behave because you never can tell where the Shadow is s])ending the holidays. ABOUT OUR COLLEGE The First Edelweiss Justice is the only worship. Love is the only priest. Ignorance is the only slavery. Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. I’he place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make other people happy.—R. G. Ingersoll. One of the most books in our library is none other than the first Edelweiss. This volume was published in 1903 by the students of the Presbyterian College for Women. Naturally, the first edition is very unlike our i:)resent day annual. The cover was done in green suede, and the title letters in gold. The first Edelweiss seems to have been rather a literary publication than one of statistics as ours is today. Of course, there being very few students, the photographs of students could not take up much space. There were only twelve seniors, sixteen juniors, forty - four sophomores, twelve freshmen, and ten sub freshmen. The book is filled throughout with many poems, histories of classes, societies, etc. I here are also various etch ings and sketches of all types of girls representing different oc casions, such as: September, Christmas, Easter, 'Valentine Reception, Music Festival, and Commencement. 1 his old Edelweiss tells the story of those girls of 1903 far better than anything else we could possibly find. We see their interests—holidays and lit erary societies, poetry and liter ary sketches, told as clearly as though they themselves were speaking to us.
