GEORGIA INTERNATIONAL STODENT VOLUNTEER CONFERENCE

I wish that I might take every person in the college with me in spirit (since all of us could not go in deed) to the Georgia Inter- denominational Student Volun- teer Conference which convened at Macon, February 17th-19th. inclusive. The spirit that I want to impart to you and to fill your soul with is that of our individual responsibility to our fellow- man. I think that I had never realized before how poignantly this responsibility rested on me, and not only on me, but on the students of America—the students of LaGrange College.

The purpose of the Conference was the consideration of missions—a mutual responsibility, or as Elmo Tabb, president of the Georgia union expressed it, "To benefit ourselves and others by furthering the cause of Christ."

Among the prominent speakers at the conference were Dr. C. Darby Fulton, of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. W. J. Young of Emory j University, Dr. P. H. Anderson! of Mercer, and Rev. J. M. Hitch, missionary to Korea; Dr. E. F. Cook, Macon. Probably the most interesting from a purly social point of view were the foreign 3penkers, who were. Miss Ling Nyi Vee of China, A. F. Gav- relorchuck, of Manchuria, Dr. Young P. Kang of Korea, and H. K. Nyanbongo, of Africa.

Dr. W. J. Young captured his audience on the first evening of the conference by his wonderful consecration address. The entire theme of this address was, that God bestows many blessings upon all of us in order that we may give them away, for we are only common carriers of God's blessings.

Dr. Darby Fulton, who has spent twenty two years in the! Orient, gave an apprasial of, Christian missions—Their weaknesses and t their strength. Among the weaknesses he named, nationalism, inconsistency between practises of Christian Nations and their teachings, the over-emphasis of the purely social aspects of Christianity, and the tendency to compromise on the gospel. Dr. Fulton declared that the inconsistency between! practice of Christian nations andi their teachings was breaking down the morale of the mission- aries. He also said that the tendency to compromise on the gospel was out of the question, for the gospel of Christ is complete and lacks no spiritual qualities. Among the elements of strength j that he named were, Christian! homes in foreign lands, Christian j churches, the social program of j Christianity, the Christian ex-i perience, and then he summed all of these elements up in the one word, Christ.

In another address Dr. Fulton discussed the compensations of Christian missions. Among the compensations that he named were, the contentment and happiness of the missionary, the satisfaction of doing a "man's job," the fruits or results of the work, and above all the compan- ionship of Jesus Christ.

Rev. J. M. Hitch, of Korea, led , possibly one of the most interesting, from an American view- point, discussions of the conference. His subject was Homemak- ers Abroad. He discussed the value of Christian missionary homes in foreign fields to the for- eigner and to the missionary himself. Then he led the dis- cussion from the floor.

One of the most forcible ad- di-esses of the conference was made by Dr. W. P. Anderson. His topic was Christian World- mindedness. He said that we, as Christians, must look at the world through the eyes of Jesus, that is, as a kingdom of right- eousness. We must see the world as it is and assume our burdens in it as privileges grant- ed to us by God.

Dr. Ed Cook, of Macon, one of the most delightful speakers of the conference, spoke on a missionary educational program for the home church. In his discus- sion Dr. Cook gave five neces- sities that hindered the possibil- ity of a Missonary Educational Program. They were, the necessity that missions be the central program of the church since it was the central program of Jesus, the necessity for the church to be made missionary by the process of education, the necessity for missions to be re- garded as an integral part of education and to be included in curriculum of schools, the necessity for missionary giving to be related to missionary education, and the necessity for the presen- tation of the facts concerning modern missions to our people.

As college students we were deeply impressed by an address on, Retaining My Missionary Purpose After Finishing College by Joe Conally. Mr. Conally has retained his missionary purpose by active work in Paine Institute a school for negroes, at Augusta, Ga. He stressed the breaking down of the race problem in our; own South—in Georgia.

Of all the foreigners who talked, I was most impressed by Mr. H. K. Njanbongo, a student at Clark University, Atlanta, from Africa. His subject was, Turn] Your Thoughts Toward Africa.1

He discussed Africa's need for! doctors, lawyers, engineers, ar- tists, musicians, and Bible mis sionraies. He stressed the false- ness of the horrible tales which Americans entertain concerning Africa.

If you had been at the conference I think that you would have come away with a broader attitude towards missions and your fellow man. One could not help realizing; that our mission- aries love the foreigners with whom they work and the foreigners love them in return— they are not martyrs; that Christians are happy, cheerful. and "full of fun;" that young people are thinking and thinking deeply and earnestly about God and moral questions; and lastly,' you would have been filled and!

overcome with your great responsibility toward your fellow- man—with vour individual re-

Ethelynde Smith LaGrange is fortunate in hav-

ing the opportunity of hearing Miss Ethelynde Smith, the noted soprano in a recital March 29th in the college auditorium.

Miss Smith was born in Port- land, Maine, but her vocal studies were begun in Boston and afterwards were carried on under the tutelage of leading in- structors in New York City. Al- though Miss Smith is an Ameri- can trained artist she has made many tours abroau! and has a thorough knowledge of several languages.

During the last season of eight months Miss Smith traveled over 20,000 miles and half way around the world for concerts while in the past few seasons more than 600 engagements have been filled in 40 states, in Canada and finally in Europe in the spring of 1926. These appearances have included recitals for musical clubs and at 90 colleges and uni- versities as well as solo appearances with choral organizations, 13 trips in the south, and many eastern and middle western engagements. She is now making her seventh tour of the Pacific coast,

The press comments from all parts of the U. S. and from some European countries commend Miss Smith as a real concert artist and a very able entertainer.

We are all looking fonvard to a great treat March 29th.

COLLEGE HOSTESS TO ROTARIANS FEBRUARY 8th

On February 8th, from one to two-thirty o'clock the Rotarians were entertained with a three course dinner in the college din- ing-hall. Fun, frolic, enjoyment and food was the order of the hour.

The Rotarians held their regular business meeting, President Hatton Love joy, presiding, and the following program was ren- dered between courses:

"Mah Lindy Lou" and "The Big Brown Bear"—by College Glee club.

Reading, "The Question of Will"—Miss Cousins.

Solo, "Pale Moon" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" — Miss Woos.

Violin Solo—Miss McMillan. "As self-effacing as the co-

pilot of a lady aviator and with eyes like pale hot water, Johnny, Dick and Chilton, (the three bachelors) went through their paces at the college, repudiating their membership in The Cryptic Conservative Company of Con- firmed Celibates, whose tenets were:

'Conclusively convinced conju- gal contracts cause constrast confusion, compel comfortlesss quarters; create continual con- finement; confound comfortable cash circumstances; connote cry- ing, croupy, cross children; we careful conservatists confeder- ate, combine and conjoin in con- ceiving The Cryptic Celibates, conforming conscienciously and continually to codes compiled in conclave convention, convenating to communicate to charming can- didates cordially yet cogently certain codes:

1. Cut charming companions comfortable caresses.

2. Choose colder creatures clearly conservative.

3. Cut calculating cliques con- templating courtships.

4. Choose clever chaps con- stantly co-operating.

5. Cut culinary creations con-

somme, cabbage, creamed cauli- flower, chicken croquettes, choco- latet cake, cocoanut custard.

6. Choose cheese, crackers, cans containing calories.'

And with the avidity of man- I eating crocodiles, adopted the ; following:

"The Bold, Bad Brotherhood, of Boastful Bachelors, baffled and balked by barrenness, bank- ruptcy and boldness, back-slides, bares its blunders, bewails its blank ness, banishes its bluff and beseeches a boon! Behold its Brief below:

1. Bondage is better than boredom.

2. Blondes and brunettes be both beauteous.

3. Bobs, bangs, or braids become blooming belles.

4. Buttonless blouses or bag- gy breeches betoken balmy brains.

5. Brown biscuits build big, boyish bodies.

6. Bessie is bonnie be she bux- om or bony.

7. Battles, bills and bawling babies bravely borne become bliss and blessing.

8. Benevolent bosses befit bashful bachelors.'

They are now rejoicing, and | petitioning the girls to remember:

'It's leap-year and our throb- bing hearts hoping for the best; We'd like to have some little girl

to lean against our vest. We do not pen these lines for

fun in jollity or jest; We offer now ourselves, O Fate!

Come put us to the test. We realize there ain't much

chance for ugly men like these,

Unless some girl will take a chance and leap before she sees.

We'd like to tell 'em one and all, we'll pay the wedding fee;

Come, girls, don't hesitate and miss this opportunitee'."

"When you're up, you're up, When you're down, you're down, When you're up against L. C.

spirit You're upside down!"

The High school recently learned just what it means to be "up against" L. C. spirit repre- sented in the L. C. basketball team, backed by the student body. The game, played at the High School was a most enjoyable one in which the best qualities of each team were called into play. It was a fast, hard game, and we were justly proud of our team which, without former practice together—being chosen for this immediate game —so splendidly held the well trained High school team to a final score of 29-27, in favor of the High school.

The college team was compos- ed of Doughman and Kamper, guards; Cassels and Dickinson^ forwards; Claire Hill, center.

On February 14th, 1928, the Philomathian club met and ren- dered the following program:

Symbols for Christ—Mattie Joe Pullin.

Vocal Solo—Mary Lumpkin. Talk on duties of a religious. Education director—Miss La-

Dell. We are indeed grateful to Miss

i^aDell for her part of the program and were glad to have her with us at this meeting. We hope she will visit our club again soon.

After the regular program, the members remained for a social hour. Lura Lifsey and Lily Evans acted as hostesses. A delicious salad course was served, after which the meeting adjourn- ed until the next meeting in .March.

Seniors Accept the L. C. Challenge

Near the close of our college davs we begin searching the "newspaper ads" and joining numerous agencies so as to find some kind of employment for the coming year and years. After graduation we feel that we are prepared and ready to go out into the world to make our way and to earn a living. But what to do?

Men and women are idle in every section of the country because they cannot find work to do. It has become more and more apparent that there is now a real crisis—the worst since 1921, according to reports on la- bor conditions. From summaries of current trends, from state la- bor department reports, social workers, physicians, nurses, teachers, etc., there emerges the disquieting picture of a nation- wide unemployment, although commercial and official groups say that there never has been such prosperity, especially in the United States.

As we face the problem of se- curing "work" for the near future we begin to fear that we shall never obtain even a small salaried position even though we have a degree from college.

If you become discouraged please remember that you began school as a "Beginner," then when you entered High School you were known as a "Fresh- man," your entrance into college sent you back again to the low rank of a "Freshman." Now that you are eagerly anticipating graduation form these aged and renowned halls you feel that you are due some recognition in this great world of ours, but to your surprise this time next year you will be a "Beginner" again—for the fourth time.

Begin this time with renewed energv and strengthened deter- mination to strive always for that which is greater and better. After all, remember that the more experience you have had the better school-teacher you are supposed to make. Now, with several experiences of beginning at the bottom and finally attain- ing certain goals only to begin again, you should be well qual- ified to go out into the World and be an excellent beginner—one who has high and noble ideals

Delivery of "The Quad- rangles" Expected Soon

According to latest informa- tion gained from Foote and Davies, the company who is printing this year's annual, the 1928 Quadrangles are expected to be shipped in the very near future. We are hoping they can be delivered before spring holidays but no definite date can be stated yet.

Every student, who has not yet done so, is earnestly urged to pay the remaining install- ments or entire price yet due, on! her individual copy. Any other! money which is due on individual reprints or feature pictures j should be paid at once, also. 11 this is done the books can be: handed out as soon as they ar-[ rive. Otherwise, the shipment will not be opened.

The student body has co-op- erated unusually well this year in helping to put the Annual over and it has been appreciated verj much by the Quadrangle staff.

The theme used throughout the entire book is both original and unique—"Ships". Carolyn; McLendon, Art Editor, together, with Miss Hallie Smith did all, the art work which has alreadv been highly commended by At-j lanta engravers. When you first j turn the pages of the new book you will probably be so delighted: with the clever drawings of ships, which introduce the different divisions,, that you can not even notice the pictures. Every j type of ship you can imagine is' used—old fashioned Clipper ships, Spanish galleons, sail i boats, and even the Santa Marie, one of Coloumbus' famous trio, embellishes the Senior panels. But you never will tire of them from the Introduction, through the class and organization sec- tions to the very last feature picture. That reminds me! The feature section, we think, will be a big surprize to nearly everyone for who can guess how the ship theme can be carried out. in features? Then the ads, you must be sure to read all of them and patronize the advertisers. Now won't it be fun to get the new annuals after you know this much about them ?

Then in future years we hope it will be a still greater delight to turn the pages of the 1928 Quad- rangle and sail again old friend- ship's sea of memory.

delightful story of an American : girl who wants a Spanish sweet- I heart. The attempts of the tour- ' ists to speak Spanish and their j numerous mistakes, make the j comedy complete.

The members of the cast were:

Miss Priscilla Brown, an American tourist—Mary Rad- ford.

body was hurt as is usually the case in most games.

We are going to show the Seniors how much we love them when we give them the banquet tomorrow. We are going to have the best things to eat and the best program that anybody has ever had. I can't wait to wear the pretty new evening dress that you sent me. We are so glad that Alice Bird is back at school. Some of the girls who were in our class last year and didn't come back to school in September are coming down for the banquet.

Oh, and mother, Mr. Thomp- son is going to give us two weeks for spring holidays instead of three days. Just think I'll get to see you and Daddy and every- body soon.

But, mother, I can hardly see what I am writing to you. I am afraid that I am going to have to get some glasses.

Something terrible must be happening out in the hall—there is so much noise out there.

Well, if that isn't the rising bell! What a funny dream I have had! I fear the seniors would not like it. Anyway I have twenty-five minutes longer to sleep. I hope I shall hear from mother today.

Freshmen Notes

English Club The English club held its regu-

lar meeting the Prayer Hall Saturday afternoon, Febraury 25, at four-fifteen o'clock.

The new members of the club for the spring term are Misses Sara King, Mary Alice Holbrook, Gertrude Wilcox, Mildred Tray- lor, Alice Tharpe, Gordo Davis, Catherine Chastain and Edith Traylor.

The following program was enjoyed:

Vocal solol: "I'm a longing for you" — Jane Hadaway, Ruby- Hughes.

One Act Comedy: "Grandma Pulls The String."—Edith De- land and David Carb.

Characters: Grandma Blessington—Mary

Frances Wiggins. Mrs. Cummings, her daughter

—Mary Lumpkin. Hildegarde Cummings—Cath-

erine Ingram. Nona Cummings Beaver—Wil-

ma Hunter. William Thornton — Louise

Kent. Julia Cummings — Margaret

Edmundson. Following the program there

was a unique and enjoyable ini- tiation of the new members, after which delicious refreshments were served.

Another delightful thing about the game was that no

Four of our Freshmen classmates for the last few days have been receiving congratulations from all their classmates because they were the four who made an average in English high enough to make the English club. The four Freshmen girls that werei taken into the English club are Edith Traylor, Catherine Ghas- tain, Gordo Davis, and Alice Tharpe. Now, a word to these girls mentioned above—girls, keep up the good work, for "The Scroll" will need your wonderful talent.

The balmy break in February weather has made us youthful Freshmen look forward with great anticipation to donning our j new Easter sunbonnets and go-j ing home to our dolls, jack; stones, roller skates, and kiddie j cars, during Spring Holidays j that are not a month off. Thej great joy of knowing that spring! holidays will soon be here has healed our wounded spirits caus- ed by the defeat we suffered in the basket ball tournament.

From the happy expression that Sara Vickers Bailey of Newnan, Georgia, our new Freshman classmate, wears on hear face, we believe that she enjoys being with us nearly as much as we enjoy having her.

Yes, this being leap year, we Freshmen girls have not failed to propose to all the eligible bachelors in our vicinity, and from the huge boxes of candy,; flowers, and special delivery let- ters that were sent up on "the hill" February twenty-ninth, we have become very hopeful.

Miss Duncan Entertains Miss Duncan, sponsor of the

Sophomore class, entertained at a delightful party, February 18th. Every boarding and town sophomore received a unique, rhyming invitation and everyone accepted joyously. At eight o'clock the guests began to as- semble in the college parlors, having been welcomed by Miss Duncan and the officers of the class.

There was never a dull mom- ent. To begin with, there were two blazing, open fires which made everyone feel comfortable and sociable. Then, too, Miss Duncan is a perfect hostess and kept affairs moving. There were games, fortune-telling, contests, and pretty frocks, such laughing and talking the old parlors have- n't seen in a long time.

Purple and white, the Sopho- more class colors, were carried throughout the decorations. Just before ten o'clodk delicious grape ice and little white and purple cakes were served. Then the clock struck, the magic hour was gone, and the Sophomores reluctantly left, after thoroughly enjoying the most charming party of the year.

Swimming Party At The

LaGrange girls never get bor- ed ! Why they stay so busy having a good time that they don't have much time left to work, much less time to get tired of doing nothing—which is the same thing as "ennui" only we don't call it that. But what I started to tell you about in the beginning (you just will get me side-tracked) was the wonder- fully good time we had at the Y.

Mr. Quillian invited us to come out to the Y. M. C. A. and see all those curios that came from the Belgian Congo and incidentally to have to a swim. Now of course Belgian Congo meant poetry to some of us, like Vach- ael Lindsey wrote—goes like:

"Then I saw the Congo, creep- ing through the black, cutting through tne forest with a golden track"—heady sort of, wild sort of, intoxicating sort of poetry. And then to some of us Belgian Congo meant a Crown Colony, and perfectly disgraceful treatment of the natives because the king needed lots of money in his pocket—may be he had a daughter off at school. And to some of us Belgian Congo meant a long, lanky black man with a hatchet after a scalp. And to some of us it meant nothing at all. So it was perfectly natural that we interpreted the invitation to read "Come have a swim and incidentally see the curios."

We went for nobody ever turns down one of Mr. Quillian's invitations. The Y is such a nice "make yourself at home place." that it would be hard not to have a good time. The swim came first—and such a wonderful swim it was! Was the water cold! Made you gasp an "Oh!" at first—but then of course we just meant it was "Oh, so nice" —yes of course. But it was funny to see a venturesome toe draw back and then again take cour- age. You bet it was fun and it was a thoroughly wet party — the right kind certainly — later we had lemonade but I haven't got that far yet. Then there was a nice warm, steamy shower and a brisk rub—how good you felt!

Then we were ready for the incidental part of our good time —but it wasn't incidental at all for there were so many curious* and interesting things to see and ask questions about. There was an immense snake skin, I won't tell you how long—you might doubt my integrity. And tom- toms—that went "Zoom, zoom, zoom"—and a big drum that said "Boom"— that we could beat on to our heart's content. Then there was a little string with a few grasses attached—funny little wisp! Mr. Quillian said it was a dancing skirt and I asked him what it was for. He said it was "for instance." But there were lovely things too—beauti- ful rich woods, carved ivories and the cunningest little white ele- phants, not the kind you don't know what to do with, and the queerest dancing shoes you ever

saw. They were just wooden soles with a sort of wooden knot to hold between the big toe and the next toe.

That wasn't all but guess what we had to eat! Savoury brunswick stew, delicious, with the cunningest little heart sjiaped sandwiches and lemonade. That wasn't all either—we had some more and more—brunswick stew.

We were a happy, well-fed crowd as we hurried back to the Hill after all that fun in just one afternoon.

Name This Story The eventful day! The day

for Danny to take her to Barbara Little's for dinner! Mary and her mother had talked of little else since the invitation had come. Each had a definite idea about "what the well dressed woman wears" on such an occa- sion ; but they had compromised on beaded net over salmon pink with rhinestone straps and side draperies modeled after the one Valeria Vincent wore in "Souls Adrif."

As Mary hurried to the neigh- borhood drug store for the new ripe strawberry shade of lipstick she had read was the smartest thing at Hollywood, she imagin- ed her triumph undulating in to dinner on Danny's arm, making him the envied of all masculine beheholders, or languishing on deep cushions while she intrigued—that was what Valeria did in her last picture—while she intrigued the assembled company. Wouldn't she walk away

with everything, jthough, just like the heroines of the Woman's Institute stories. Was Barbara her rival? Well, she wouldn't be after tonight.

When Mary explained what she wished to the clerk, the dapper man who had been dem- onstrating something from his satchel walked up to her.

"Say, sister, aren't you from the metropolis of Big Springs? Thought I recognized you. I'd never forget a face like yours. Why, say, when. I was down there last month, I saw you at the soda fount ana I said to Jake, "Boy, there's the girl I'd like to have show off my goods." And say, if you'd just let me give you this Elite (he pronounced it "elight") range just for a sam- ple.

Soon Mary and Henry Wilson, demonstrator and salesman of the Universal Exclusive Ultra- Smart Drug Products, as his card proclaimed him, were deep in conversation over marshmal- low nut sundaes. When Mary noticed the time, Henry accompanied her home. Before he left her he had made three dates for the next week.

As Mary hurried to her room to try her new lipstick and rouge and to ask her mother's opinion about them, she thought, oh, if Danny could only have seen me with Henry! Wouldn't he be intrigued! Henry's so—so cultur- ed."

L. H. S. Basketball Tournament

One of the most pleasant visitors and profitable visits the college has received was the visit of Mrs. Hume R. Steele who was here the week of February 20 to 27. Mrs. Steele is sent by the Mission Board of the Metho- dist Episcopal church south to various colleges with the purpose of conducting revival services for the students. Begin- ning with her first talk based on "What Is Your Life?" and "Whatsoever He Saith Unto You, Do It" all her talks center- ed on the Christian life consid- ered from an aspect that is prac- tical to college girls. She talked on the marks of a Christian, some draw-backs to being a Christian, how to know and an- swer our call to Christian service. Besides the talks in chapel and at vesper services, Mrs. Steele talked to several education classes and was always ready and willing to talk to girls individual- ly. Her interest in young people, their pleasures, their interests,

I and their problems made her i talk seem vital to us; her pleas- jant personality and sweet smile made a striking setting for her devoted Christian life.

Some one haa the nerve to ask me to try to improve my articles by writing something interesting. I felt dreadfully down-trodden but let me. tell you something—I may not write in-

j teresting articles but I went to . some interesting basket ball , games last week at L. H. S. and I if I were a story teller I would I let you know just how much fun I really did have. I do not tell

I stories, though, and I refuse to be tempted.

LaGrange Hi has a wonderful basket ball team. I have seen better teams but I don't remember when or where. LaGrange played ball triumphantly through the preliminaries of the District Tournament which was held Feb- ruary 23, 24, 25 at LaGrange High school. And she did not stop with preliminaries, she played in "the" final game Saturday night against Hogansville. And did she win ? Well I guess! She won the tournament and was well rewarded with fame, glory, cheers, and loving cups.

All the visitors enjoyed the tournament, which is an annual event, and the next tournament is being anticipated with the greatest hopes of pleasant rival- ry.

Some of the L. C. girls who are especially interested in basket ball attended the tournament. And I'm a-hearin' em say that they had more fun than

Charm Week What is the one thing that

every girl desires more than any- thing else? It is a thing unde- finable—a thing that a college education should give a girl to make her different from other girls. The Y. W. C. A. has tried to help the L. C. girls attain charm by having had some very charming people give talks on different phases of charm. All who heard the talks will agree with me. I am sure, that we could not have had seven more charming speakers. The program was as follows:

Charm in Movement—Mrs. Frank Tatum.

Charm in Dress—Miss Mary Jane Hill.

Charm in the Home—Mrs. Farmer.

Charm in Solitude—Mrs. Emory Hermon.

Charm in Business—Mrs. O. M. Abbott.

Charm in Conversation—Miss Hallie Smith.

Charm in the Personality of Jesus—Miss Maidee Smith.

Alumnae Notes Mrs. Robert C. Frost, formally

Mary Connally of the class of '18, and her little son, were recent visitors on the campus.

A reception for the Atlanta chapter of the LaGrange College Alumnae was recently held at the home of Mrs. James Ridley. The president, Mrs. Buchanan being absent, the meeting was presided over by the vice president, Mrs. Tom Akridge. Miss Idella Bellah, the secretary re- ported a splendid condition in regard to scholarships, etc.

Mrs. E. W. Bigham and Mrs. W. C. Dobbs, of the Atlanta Chapter, recently contributed a number of books to the college library.

Student's Conference on International Relations

Miss Sara King and Miss Mil- dred Stipe left March 7, 1928, for Anderson College, Anderson South Carolina, where they attended the "Southern Students' Conference On International Re- lations." These delegates heard some of the most eminent ed- ucators in the south. Some of the speakers scheduled are: Prof. E. H. Henderson, Director of the Southern Institute of Politics; Dr. Cullen H. Gosnell, Professor of History, Emory University; Miss Bessie Randolph, Professor of Political Science, Florida State College for Women; Dr. R. H. McLean, Professor of History, Emory University; Baron Al- phonse Heyking, University of Dorpat; Dr. Hamilton Holt, President of Rollins College; Dr. R. S. Rankin of Duke University; and Miss Amy Heminway Jones, National Secretary of Interna- tional Relations Clubs. The delegates were entertained at an informal reception, at a dinner, and luncheon.

fun than anybody. Now—let me tell you the secret of this article, which I hope no critic will chance to read—Mr. Bowen (I hear?) sent complimentary tickets to six L. C. Girls in order to encourage the young men of LaGrange to attend — thus making "big moneys". Now may the six L. C. "fair ones" feel themselves "con- fectionately" honored.

One of the six was the young lady who asked me in a friend- ly, confidential way to write an in teresting article for the Scroll.

Well—it's not interesting but it flatters you, dear critic.
