LARGEST SENIOR CLASS
IN HISTORY OF COLLEGE
College Starts Off With Brighter
Prospects Than In Any
Year Recently
If any true significance can be
attached to the old superstitution
that a good beggining makes a
good ending, our college this year
will know the most flournishing
session in its history.
Although the building are full
to overflowing, Mr. Edwards says
that not a single student will be
turned away, even if Mr. Evans
has to order a new supply of ten-
penny nails on which to hang
them, or the faculty has to move
out in town.
A partition has been built divid
ing the old sewing room into two
cozy bedrooms which heretofore
had not been needed.
A large number of students
have registered, and fthere are
rumors of many others coming in.
Miss Caldwell says we have the
largest senior class the college has
ever had.
We feel that this increase in
number will be commensurate
with the increase in future use
fulness and attractiveness of the
college and of the individual girls
trained here.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
TO COLLEGE GROUNDS
(Continued from Page 1)
ing, the President’s Home, and
Stone Cottage last spring have
grown wonderfully. A great deal
of campus improvement was
planned and performed by Mrs.
Edwards, chairman of the campus
committee. As a result of the
efforts of this committee, the
campus is more beautiful now
than it has been in many years.
The walks have been trimmed and
rounded so as to drain properly,
and the driveway has been drag
ged. Everything indicates pride
and care.
The flower garden which Mrs.
Edwards cherished during the
summer is now furnishing beauty
for dining room and halls.

of the best-known women in Vir
