Benefactors' Day And Field Events

A holiday on the hill! Can't you guess? Why, of course, it was Benefactors' Day, April 21, This is a yearly event at L. C, first observed on March 4, 1915, in the spring after the death of Rufus Wright Smith, a great benefactor of the college.

At eight-thirty in the morning everybody flocked down to the tennis court to see the finals played. Tealy Cassels won Sin- gles, Frank Doghman and Tealy Cassels won Doubles.

At eleven o'clock Rev. Mr. Binns, pastor of the First Bap- tist church, gave the address in the auditorium. He showed us clearly what a great heritage is ours in being students of La- Grange College. Many wonderful gifts have been left us by these students of other years— gifts that will last forever. We, too, must keep this spirit of loyalty and with the money we are some day to leave something worth while for the future students, in order that they may have the same great heritage that has been ours.

At three in the aftrnoon the field events were held. Never before has such spirit and enthusiasm been shown on the hill. Colors floated proudly and each class heartily supported its con- testants. Pep? We had it!

There were the track events for the day and the girls win- ning first places were: 1. 4-yard dash—Frances Phil-

lips. 2. 220-yard dash — Catherine

Chestnutt. 3. 100-yard dash--Elizabeth

Doughrr;an. Cross Country Relay—Hor- tense Dickinson, J. Teasley, Chestnut, E. Dozier. Box baseball — Hortense

On Sunday night, April 24, the installation service was held at which the new Y. W. C. A. officers were recognized. While "Follow The Gleam" was being played, both the old and new members, all dressed in white, marched down the steps to the prayer hall, and took their places. After the student body had sung "Follow the Gleam" Miss Maidee gave a very applicable and interesting, helpful talk, after which the new members took their oaths.

These new members for the year 1927-28 are:

President—Frances Matthews, Decatur, Ga.

Vice-president—Lily Evans, Plains, Ga.

Secretary—Lois Parker, Car- rollton, Ga.

Treasurer—Sara King, Atlan- ta, Ga.

Undergraduate representative, Mary Radford, Dublin, Ga.

Devotional chairman—Kather- ine Wheeler, Chickamauga, Ga.

Social Service chairman—Lu- cile M. Cassels, Atlanta, Ga.

Recreational chairman—Laura McWhorter, Roystan, Ga.

World Fellowship chairman— Sara Barrett, Winder, Ga.

Publicity chairman—Carolyn McLendon, Clarkston. Ga.

Chairman of Tea Room Com- mittee—Mary Teasley, Bowman. Ga.

Chairman Music Committee— Virginia Pugh, Lumpkin. Ga.

Honorary Member — Mary Frances Wiggins, Atlanta, Ga.

The service ended with the song "Blest Be The Tie That Binds," and the Y. W. C. A. ben- ediction.

The service was beautiful and impressive, and as usual Miss Maidee's talk was good. It was very fitting that she should talk- to us at this time as it was she who first organized the Y. W. C. A. on our campus.

One of the most delightful and • unique entertainments of the j spring was the last and public 'meeting of the English Club at; 'which the members presented several Shakespearean scenes.

Student Government Conference

We often say mean things about our college, and think we mean them, too, but when we get off, there are no mean things to say. We found this out last week when we saw just how 'proud we were of L. C. Several times we did feel a little bit out of place, when representatives of other colleges told of the trouble they were having, and to the discussion. Cheating and to the discussion. Sheating and smoking seemed to be quite the thing at a number of schools, (as well as quite the problem of the student councils.)

The Twelfth Annual Confer- ence of The Southern Inter-Col- legiate Association of Student Government was entertained at Alabama College, Montevallo, Ala., April 20-23. About fifty colleges of the South were rep- resented by two girls each. The following program was carried out:

More and more the public is realizing that in our great buying power there is a saving power which means considerable to every thrifty housewife or woman who demands the utmost in style and quality at the most reasonable prices obtainable.

Spring shopping has never been attended with more satisfying experiences.

Miss Cassels Re-elected President of Athletic

Association At the last meeting of the

Athletic Association, Miss Lucile Cassels was re-elected president of the organization for the years 1927-1928. Miss Cassels has rendered most efficient service in this capacity for the past two years. Under her leadership the association has sponsored the track events and three tourna- ments on the campus. It is now planning an inter-class baseball tournament to be held sometime during the month of May.

Other officers of the association for next year are, Miss Frances Doughman, vice-president; Miss Julia Teasley, secretary; Miss Wilma Coleman, treasurer. Each class will elect its own representative to the 'council.

The Easter Egg Hunt On April 17th, the intrepid

hunters of the Junior and Fresh- man classes assembled on the Quadrangle for the famous Eas- ter hunt. Every one was array- ed in suitable hunting clothes and in hilarious spirits because of the sport promised. Eggs had been rare that season and especially the eggs of the Easter and every one looked forward with keen relish to the exciting chase and tracking down of Easters to their lairs.

When every one had gathered they set out, down the campus, over the hill, running and laughing 'till they reached the appointed spot where the hunt was to begin. The little Fresh- were instructed to beware of poison oak, to search diligently, and not to stray too far. Then the hunt began. As you all know, the funny Easter lays its eggs under rocks, behind bushes, and in the trees and soon the discovery of the first egg was heralded by a shout. Then many other eggs, white, yellow, or- ange, blue, even the red ones, dear to our childhood, were found, but not an Easter was seen. Doris Lumpkin found a very, very rare gold egg and because of her valuable find was awarded a prize. The hunters all were successful and the spoils abundant.

Tired out by the exciting hunt

every one sat down and was served with a nut sundae on a stick. Then with carefree aban- don the hunters began to frolic through "Fanner's in the Dell" and "Many, Many Stars." Then, exhausted with this arduous sport, they started home. Just as they were leaving each one was handed a cup of ice cream and bade to eat and be merry. Then they returned home, tired but happy, displaying their booty, and declaring they had never been on such a nice, successful hunt.

Thank you, Juniors!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Supposin' fish don't bite at first— What are you goin' to do ?

Thorw down your pole, and chuck your bait

And say your fishin's through ? You bet you ain't—you're goin' to fish,

'N fish, 'n fish, 'n wait Until you ketched a basketful,

'N used up all your bait.

Suppose success don't come at first— What are you goin' to do ?

Throw up the sponge 'n kick yourself 'N growl and fret and stew?

You bet you ain't—you're goin' to fish, You'll bait 'n bait a'gin,

Until success just grabs.your hook, For grit is sure to win.

—Exchange.

down beside the spring. Just listen to her, will you, hear that

old nigger sing! The weeping-willow overhead, blue-

bottles 'round her feet, Behind her, on the pasture fence, pink

honeysuckle sweet; Her old face bending priestess-like

above the sudsy steam,

Her old voice rising on the morning, sweeter than a dream

"Ewybody got ter sing sometime, Mah brudder! Ewybody got ter weep.

Ewybody got ter wuk sometime, Mah brudder!

Atter while -dey got ter sleep."

Aunt Dessie's at the ironing-board,

ironing out the clo'es

She sings another quaint old song no younger darkie knows.

It is a sad and sorrowing song, of

doleful, dirge-like tone, She chants it slowly, wailingly, her

voice a plaintive drone "In mah heart hit's sad an' lonely, In mah heart hit's dahk an' col';

I'm lookin' ter Marse Jesus only, He will calm my turblesome soul.

I'm lookin' ter Marse Jesus only, He will lead me all de way, Long ez I kin feel de Sperrit

Movin' in-a mah heart, I kin pray."

Aunt Dessie's in the kitchen now,

making gingerbread, Snowy as to apron, with a "head-rag"

new and red. Warm and spicy fragrancies float

from the open door, And a strain of wistful melody I

never heard before.

"I got er mudder in de promise' Ian'. I got er mudder in de promise' Ian'.

Atter while I'm gwine ter meet 'er. gwine ter shek her han',

Ain't so pertikler 'bout shekin' her

han', But I wants ter git ter Hev'in, Lawd,

ef I can, Yes, I wants ter git ter Hev'in, Lawd,

ef I can."

Aunt Dessie's in the rocking-chair, rocking to and fro,

With Sonny snuggled in her arms; the firelight's gentle glow,

Flickers oe'r them rosily, the tired yellow head,

Is burrowed warm against her arm; it's almost time for bed.

What is that she croons to him ? Best of lullabies!

She sings it every evening till the sandman's closed his eyes

"Swing low, sweet cha'yut, comin' fer ter ca'y me home!

Look over yander, whut I see, Sweet, sweet cha'yut swingin' low fer

me, Swing low, sweet cha'yut, comin' fer

ter ca'y me home." Melodies of vanished days sing

them on, old soul! When your voice is silenced no more

will echoes roll Through dim mists of tradition, nor

Southern twilights ring To the old songs, the sweet songs, the

darkies used to sing. CARRIE PALL BENSON,

Sir Roger Visits Rugby An Additional de coverley Paper

With Apologies to Addison And Steele

"Meminirse Juvat" As my friend, Sir Roger de

Coverley, had asked my company in visiting Rugby, the school he had attended when a boy, if the weather cleared. I was not unprepared for the an- nouncement that a gentleman

land his company were waiting jfor me, which report was con- 1 firmed by the loud cheerful voice of the good old man asking the

I youngest of my landlady's brood if he fancied his book..

After greeting me, Sir Roger assured me that I need have no apprehension in regard to the drive to the school as he and his brother had taken every pre- caution to insure safety.

During the ride the old gentleman, as eager as if he were again a scholar on his first trip to the school, regaled me with tales of youthful pranks. While

.we were passing through the ! gates, he suddenly leaned from .the carriage, exclaiming, "The ! same oak, the same bench! We shah see, sir, the initials of men

I England is proud to claim, along | with those of lesser men like me.' '

I We decended from the coach, bidding the men await our re-

,tum, and walked toward a dor- Imitory. After some short pause, turning his head about twice or thrice to take a survey of the landscape he had once viewed daily, he bade me notice a group of boys on the field. "You must know, Mr. Spectator, that I was once on the cricket team. Well do I remember the day—it was like this one—that we trounced Lichfield so badly. If that lad there would aim at the wicket so, he—but, see, the captain speaks to him. Come, we must not spend the whole afternoon watching the practice."

So speaking, Sir Roger led me down a bare hall and into a long room lined with rows of cots, one which, he was at pains to tell me, had once been occupied by a later famous Tory Minister, "and," he added, "that bed by the window was mine."

At that moment a youth ap-

peared at the door, and, with a friendly smile, told us that the Dean had sent him to accom- pany us about the school until five o'clock, at which time he respectfully desired us to have tea with him.

My friend was about to dis- miss the bearer of the invitation; but, remarking the openness of his countenance and, as he af- terward told me, remembering how well he himself had liked to escort visitors around the buildings, he desired to be shown the late additions to the equip- ment, of which he sincerely ap- proved.

Such simplicity and good will did our guide show that, when tea-time arrived, Sir Roger ex- pressed his regret that the young man had not been included in the Dean's invitation and requested him to spend a week of his next holidays on the de Coverley estate.
