5 Report on the Appropriation to Woman's College. In brief, the rec- ommendation of the Budget Commis- sion to the General Assembly during the first week the Assembly met in January, was in the end voted by the 1947 Legislature. Although not every item requested was granted, neverthe- less the Woman's College is pleased with the generosity of the 1947 Legis- lature, and is convinced that the fu- ture of this college is now definitely assured. To the members of the Spe- cial Alumnae Legislative Committee, to the County Alumnae Legislative Chairmen, to any and all alumnae ev- erywhere, who spoke the word for their College, in and out of season — our gratitude. The appropriation is as follows:

5 Commencement dates this year are Friday evening. May 30 — senior ball;
Saturday, May 3 1 — art exhibit, an- nual meeting of the Alumnae Associ- ation, Class Day, and the guest per- formance by Play-Likers; Sunday, June 1 — baccalaureate sermon, m- formal gathering on the lawn of the chancellor's home, concert; Monday, June 2 — graduating exercises, with Governor Cherry, President Graham, Chancellor Jackson, and a representa- tive of the Senior Class as speaker. As usual, alumnae will be joyfully wel- comed. Rooms may be secured m dormitories without charge by mak- ing your request through the alumnae office. Because of the continued crowded conditions in the dining halls, and the shortage of help, no formal luncheons or dinners will be served this year. But even with such things absent, there will be interest and en- tertainment enough to give returning alumnae a really happy time. So come!
y The fourth Arts Forum was held on March 20-22, bringing to this cam- pus several hundred students and members of the faculty from many colleges in the southeast. As usual the departments and divisions of Art, English, Dramatics, Dance, and Music united to provide here an event which in four years has become national in scope and attendance. Its effect upon the creative impulses of a growing section and a great nation are sure to be large. This year the visiting celeb- rities in the fields represented were Ernst Bacon, composer, director of the School of Music, Syracuse University; Valerie Bettis, dancer, choreographer, and teacher; Thomas Munro, critic, philosopher, teacher of art, chairman of the division of art. Western Reserve University; Robert Penn Warren, poet, novelist, critic, professor of Eng- lish, University of Minnesota; author of All the King's Men.
5 A new degree will be offered next year for majors in the Art Depart- ment — B.F.A., bachelor of fine arts. Already some eight or nine students will qualify for this new degree.
5 An event of outstanding significance will be the national convention of the
"Lilacs" — Flower arrangeineiif used in the entrance hall of Alumnae House.
Athletic Federation of College Wom- en, which is scheduled to meet on this campus April 18, 19, 20. This is the first convention to be held since the war — the last met at Wellesley Col- lege. Again students and members of the faculty from colleges and univer- sities throughout the nation will be guests of Woman's College.

when Dr. Mclver was preaching the doctrine of woman's education in the South, he expressed the ideal of the southern college-bred woman in terms of cultural as well as practical educa- tion. Accordingly, the study of Latin and the classical cultures was given .i prominent place in the early curricu- lum of this College. And to speak of Latin in the early years at this College is to speak of Miss Viola Boddie.
Miss Boddie was the first and for many years the very dynamic teacher in the Department of Latin. In those early years the majority of the stu- dents spent much time in the study of the Latin language, and it was Miss Boddie who became for many of them the very prototype of the college pro- fessor behind whose scholarly facade the inquiring student might occasion- ally, if she were lucky, catch glimpses of the warm personality that gave vi- tality to her teaching. To talk with any of those earlier students of Latin, you conceive the idea that here was a beautiful woman who in no sense looked the part of the stern disciplin- arian, the purveyor of ancient truths, the classroom martinet, or the social and moral arbiter of the lives of her students. And yet she was all of these and more. It is perhaps the greatest tribute to her genius that under her tutelage the study of Latin became a vehicle for the study of life and man- ners. In a world that was beginning to make a fetish of the "short-cut" method of achievement. Miss Boddie insisted on thorough preparation and clear thinking. If she could flay a careless worker, she could compliment the careful. The student soon found that the only way to win her applause was to do an honest and intelligent job. It was in this way that the moral discipline of the Classics was made a glowing and vital thing to the young people.
In 193 5 the Department of Latin was renamed the Department of Clas- sical Civilization. A full major course of study in ancient Greek was now introduced into the college curricu- lum .ilong with Latin. All of the great classical authors are now open to qualified students. It is not unusual in any given year to observe classes in v.iridii'. pliases ot our eultiir.i! h.ick-

grounds, from Homer to late Church Latin.
In point of numbers the department has grown from thirty-three students in 193 5 to an approximate average of one hundred and fifty or one hundred and seventy-five. During the present term, for example, some eighty-five freshmen will study mythology, and forty-five upperclassmen are enrolled in a course in Greek Literature. Fur- thermore, a full series of courses in both Latin and Greek are well attend- ed. The beginning Greek course — "Baby Greek" here at Woman's Col- lege — has one of the largest enroll- ments in the nation. Latin classes and advanced Greek also flourish. Miss Myrtle Soles, a fine young teacher — a Woman's College graduate of the Class of 1945, has been added to the Classics statF. All majors in the department have done well. Miss Marilyn Barke- lew, a 1941 graduate, distinguished herself and her College when she won the outstanding graduate scholarship offered in the English Department of the University of Pennsylvania. This brilliant student was granted the Irances E. Bennett Scholarship in thai university bv virtue of her record in Greek and I at In lierc at Woman's College.
One ot the most conMtuclne things
achieved in the Department of Clas- sical Civilization was the organization of the Classical Club. Membership in this club is restricted to students who have made a grade of B or better in either Latin or Greek or both. The fifty members represent many of the most intelligent students in college. An outstanding group of twenty-five freshmen and sophomores was initiated recently. The monthly programs are in the hands of the students. Scholarly papers are read and criticized at the monthly meetings, and all this work is entirely voluntary. This year the members of the club put on a drive to collect money for the purchase of books for Pierce College, an American College for women in Athens, Greece. The sum of SI 55 was collected.
One of the most significant addi- tions to the scholarship of the campus is the recent acquisition of the library of Professor Charles W. Peppier, the retired head of the Department of Greek, Duke University. This dis- tinguished teacher's library represents one of the most valuable collections of books on classical scholarship to be found in the southern region. With its purchase of these books — more than two hundred items — the ^'om- an's College Library is equal in cer- tain fields of Greek scholarship to many of the better graduate libraries. Many of the items are extremely val- uable, and a few almost priceless. To name a few of the choicest, there are: Schmidt-Staehlin, Gacbichtc Jcr gr'ic- chiichiii Literatiir. The third volume of this monumental work was sent through Siberia to Dr. Peppier just after Hitler had closed the doors of Germany. It is unlikely that more than a very few copies survived the biblio-holocaust. Engelmann-Preuss, Bihliothcca Scripfornin Classicoriim and Klussmann's Bihliothcca Scrip- toriiiii ct Graccorum ct Latittorum are merely two examples of many great books for scholarly reference. Most of the greatest editions of the chief writers, from Homer to Theocritus, are represented, and of particular note is a very remarkable collection of in- dexes to the major authors in the Greek field.
It is the intention of the Depart- ment of Classical Civilization to in- terpret for today's students some of the glories of man's past. In a day w lien Latin is no longer for man\' tiie language of learning and the limpid (ireek speaks to but few, it is a priv- ilege to teach it to those who would tr\' ii. 1 lomer's thunderous hexame-

ters can still be heard; Virgil's state- liness can be appreciated; Sappho and Catullus still give pleasure to the ini- tiated. The New Testament in Greek unfolds new truths to those trained in the Greek language. All this is done at Woman's College. And for those who approach the springs of western culture through the medium of trans- lations, it is still possible to wrestle in the pages of Aeschylus with some of the mightiest religious problems that man yet faces; to see through Sopho- cles' eyes man in his noblest moments; and with Euripides to gaze critically upon outworn tradition and to behold the new dawn of universal brother- hood. Horace can be heard still sing- ing, though in an alien tongue, and the power of law and discipline can be observed in the tread, now muted, of the Roman legion. The questing stu- dents at Woman's College still stand on the streets of Athens and learn from Socrates to think on truth — still can learn something from those who saw life clearly and saw it whole.
(Ed. Note. In 1935. upon the retire- ment of Miss Boddie. Dr. Jercigan was brought from Duke University to be head of the Department of Latin, renamed with his coming the Department of Classical Civilization. Since he has been with us. Dr. Jernigan has not only made a place for himself on the college campus, but has entered heartily into the life of the city, as speaker on various club programs, as teacher of a Bible Class at the First Presbyterian Church, and in other capaci- ties. He is married, and has two young sons.)
Will You Help Write the History of the Cornelian Society ?
Mr. Adams, our college librarian, says that a student came to the library recently trying to locate material on the history of the Cornelian Society. "Our files produced only one picture, that of the society in 1912. But — right there on the front row sat this girl's mother! We wish we could have given her more help than this, how- ever; and if you will send us such things as programs, more pictures, perhaps a talk you made before the society when you were a student, or a story of some particularly outstand- ing meeting of the society that you remember — really any and every- thing, we shall be better able to meet this call when it comes again." Do not throw out anything — when you get into your next fatal housecleaning — which relates to the College; send it to the College Library.

A LOOK at LOVELY HAWAII
Charlesanna Fox '3 0
Disfrict Librarian, Fonrtcciith
Naval Disfrict, Honolulu,
Hatiaii
Perhaps other people remember more from geography lessons about Hawaii than I did but the thimbleful of information about these islands I brought with me has been greatly ex- panded by what I have seen and by what kamaiianas (oldtimers) have told me. The few words I knew: Hawaii, M.iuna Loa, Oahu, — have been added to until I fancy myself a kamaiiana, though I cannot boast of having been here the twenty years required!
The climate, the volcanic nature of the islands, the beautiful tropical flora, the balmy nights, the clouds, the ocean of a thousand blues and greens have for years past been described in many ways in poetry and prose. One's first impression is surprise and elation at the lovely sights. Views such as that at the Nuuanu Pali are breathtaking — within a short distance from a glance at the ocean on the Honolulu side of Oahu there is at the Pali a panorama of the windward side. On Oahu it is impossible to be more than ten miles from the sea! Each island has its outstanding features, just as the states on the mainland, and each should be visited if possible.
The greatest factor in living here for some months is the general aware- ness of the whole Pacific area which comes to us malihinis (newcomers). Association with the University of Hawaii, the exquisite Academy of Arts, the Bishop Museum (covering all Polynesia, Melanesia and Micron- esia), the Library of Hawaii, and eve- ning classes at the Y.W'.C.A. and city high schools eventually makes us con- scious of the Pacific as a unit of cul- ture. The last war brought the geog- raph\' of the Pacific closer to our knowledge, but much is yet to be learned aKnit the peoples, their migra-

tions, languages, customs, legends, and economy.
One evening will stand out in my memory of Hawaii. Dr. Peter H. Buck, Curator of the Museum, spoke in one of the beautiful patios at the Academy of Arts about the canoes on exhibit there, used by the Polynesians. In his lecture, he included chants of the Polynesian sailors learned from his Maori mother's people, and this added reality to his comments. The ac- complishment of the Polynesians in crossing approximately 2,000 miles of sea in open canoes made with stone implements, with only their limited knowledge of currents and stars to guide them, is exceedingly impressive. No mags, no motors, no metal, no compass — only the rudder, oars, and sails of matting for aid. No wonder chants were addressed to the rudder and to the oars as if they were per- sonages! Another evening at the Academy I was thrilled with lolani Luahine's dancing of the ancient hulas and the commentaries by Mary Pukui. Too much has been lost in the mod- ernization of the hulas for night clubs.
Hawaiian people I have met have a dignity and graciousness all their own. The hospitality they offer rivals that for which the South is famous.
The islands are dependent upon shipping to an extent that cannot be realized until one lives here. During the shipping strike last fall, it was a curious thing to see what items dis- appeared from the stores. The lack of rice for Japanese and Chinese fami- lies caused a great deal of hardship. Even though quantities of foodstuffs are grown, there is not enough for all the people living in the islands.
Even in peace time the Armed Serv- ices are much in evidence, for Oahu is a naval base and an armed fort. Some twenty plantations in the islands grow sugar cane and their common experiments in growing cane are out- standing in this kind of agriculture. The second large industry is based on pineapple growing, and the Dole Pine- apple factory is well worth visiting for a study of its methods. Hawaii has become American in many ways and is eager now to become a state.
My work as Fourteenth Naval Dis- trict Librarian has been strenuous, for the period of reorganization now fa- miliar to all of us hit us amidships. Peace time plans have been made and partially executed in the face of a vanishing staff. The visit of the Pa-

J Secretary of the Foundation
The movement for est.iblishing pri- vately financed foundations to supple- ment the State's program of higher education for the \outh of North Car- olina has rightfuli\- embraced \X'om- nn's College.
The Home Economics Foundation, to operate through Woman's College, was chartered under the laws of the State in July, 1946, and was organized at a meeting on the Woman's College campus late last October. The success of the Foundation was assured by the acceptance of the presidency by for- mer Lieutenant-Governor R. L. Harris of Roxboro.
Actually, the work of forming such a Foundation took several years. The idea was birthed by two of our own — Miss Margaret Edwards, head of the Department of Home Economics at Woman's College, and Mrs. Sue Ram- sey J. Ferguson '18, Taylorsville.
In 1945, Governor Cherry appoint- ed a committee from the University Board of Trustees to investigate and report on the advisability of organiz- ing such a Foundation. That commit- tee, headed by Charles A. Cannon of Concord and composed of H. D. Bate- man of Wilson, S. M. Blount of Wash- ington, Mrs. R. S. Ferguson of Tay- lorsville, George S. Coble of Lexing- ton, and Mrs. L. L. Miller of Raleigh, served as the core from which the Foundation sprang.
The Foundation has 122 incorpora- tors, many of them among the most prominent cit I/ens of our State. Its directors are R. I.. Harris, Mrs. Sue Ramsey J. Ferguson, H. IX Bateman, S. M. Blount, Charles A. Cannon, Cieorge S. Coble, Mrs. I'rances New- some Miller '42, Thurmond Chatham of Elkin. Mrs. B. B. Everett of Pal- myra, A. G. Meyers of Ciastonia, John C. Lockhart of Greensboro, Mrs. Eliza- beth Dillard Reynolds of Winston- .Salem, John Ums'tead of Chapel I 1111, James A. Gray of Winston-Salem, 1). Hiden Ramsey of Asheville, Mrs. Lau- ra Weill Cone '10 of Greensboro, Mrs. Mav Lovelace Tomllnson 'll" of High
Point, J. Spencer Love of Greensboro, Emery B. Denny of Gastonia, T. Clar- ence Stone of Stoneville, Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount, James Ficklen of Greenville, David Clark of Charlotte, C. A. Fink of Spencer, Joe L. Blvthe of Charlotte, Mrs. Stella Williams An- derson '23 of West Jefferson, and Mrs. Rosa Blakeney Parker '16 of Albe- marle.
The need for the Home Economics Foundation, functioning through Woman's College in service to all our people, is clear. Agriculture and in- dustry in North Carolina have done their part in developing the material wealth in the State. But their develop- ments, which have brought increased income to our citizens, are of little value unless the total social life of our families and homes parallels the development of our material wealth.
The Home Economics Foundation is a means for bringing to all classes of people the knowledge that now is ours for improvins^ all phases of home life.
In the Woman's College plans for the future, there is a prominent place for the Home Economics Foundation. The work of the college in this field already has received recognition, al- though it has been limited in its scope because of the lack of funds for re- search and further work in fields above the undergraduate level. The Foundation will make it possible for the college to expand its research and graduate work by the purchase of special equipment, by supplementing salaries to bring to Woman's College outstanding persons in the field of Ilome Economics, and h\ providing for the distribution of information to those who make the homes and those who serve the homes and institutions in North Carolina.
The objectives adopted b\ the Foundation are:
1. To bi'iii-r inahlt- Wirtb Carolina l.iniilics to live ulih m.iximum valiu's in lood. hoiisiiit;. ilotliinj;. icxiilcs. and fur- niiiirc. and lo condiui iho family op-ra- lions .ind relationships .it minimum costs in moncv. liim'. and labor.
2. To serve the institutions of North Carolina in nutrition, housing, textiles, furniture, clothing, and any other phase of home operation leading to greater serv- ice to the people of the State.
3. To serve the industries of the State in achieving more satisfactory production from the consumer standpoint.
4. To develop a strong teaching pro- gram by helping to obtain and keep out- standing and highly trained personnel in this field.
5. To develop strong research pro- grams in foods, nutrition, clothing, tex- tiles, housing, equipment, furnishings, consumer buying, standards of goods, money management, care of household goods, child care and training, teacher education, institution management.
6. To offer short service courses in the home communities by correspond- ence and by radio on various subjects of home economics for all citizens of the State.
7. To publish and distribute service bulletins and reports of research and studies on various subjects of home eco- nomics.
8. To sponsor various projects to stimulate and help to improve the home and institutional life of this State.
A number of ^'oman's College alumnae are already familiar with the purpose and plans of the Home Eco- nomics Foundation, and some of them are giving much time and effort to the Foundation during its early and important work.
There is a real need for the assist- ance of every alumna — in supporting the work of the Foundation through your clubs, your classrooms, and your other affiliations. Each of you has seen ten thousand times the need for just such a Foundation in North Carolina. You have seen it in the disrupted fam- ilies of your community, in the under- nourished children of your classroom, in poorly clothed people, in poorly constructed houses, and in pix)rlv managed homes.
Here, surely, is one opportunity for Woman's College to lead the State, to lead even this entire region, in pro- viding the means for the most impor- tant single unit in a happy world — a happv home.

The campus was honored on February 27 with a visit by a delegation from the Sir Walter Cabinet — the real power, as everybody knows of course, behind the legislative throne in Raleigh! These First Ladies came from the State Capitol in an especially chartered bus. Their first stop after arrival was in Alumnae House. Here they were greeted by alumnae officials and other members of the faculty at a coca- cola half hour, and welcomed in brief talks by President Frank P. Graham, and Chancellor W. C. Jackson. A tour of the campus followed, with an interlude for luncheon in the home economics build- ing, as guests of the Department of Home Economics. Returning to Alumnae House at 4:00 o'clock for coffee, our guests heard a bit more about it and about, the topic always being, somehow, the Wom- an's College — what it is. what it may become. In the late afternoon, we parted with our guests reluctantly, but with high hope that they will come again as indi- viduals and watch with us the progress of their state's college for women.

Initiated by Clyde Norcum. chairman of rh; Woman's College Alumnae Associ- ation in Alamance County, 130 alumni and alumnae of the Consolidated Univer- S-ty in this county gathered on the eve- n'ng of February 11 for a dinner meet- ing at the Alamance Hotel, Burlington. Judge A. M. Carroll, representing Caro- lina, served as toastmaster and introduced th; special guests. Chancellor W. C. Jack- son, of Woman's College, was the fea- tured speaker. His theme in brief was this — We have not profil:ed by past mistakes made in post-war reconstruction: therefore the need is even more apparent for a stronger, more thoroughly consolidated University of North Carolina. The busi- ness of the University is to hold the light high and clear — a great university is the most important agency which exists for the furthering of civilization. "We have therefore a great opportunity in the three groups represented here tonight to build a great country. " the chancellor said. Bill Kirkpatrick. alumnus of State College, was soloist of the evening, with Virginia Caruthers '43 accompanying. Cora Harden Stratford '46 led college songs. Jean Holmes McAdams '45 read telegrams of greeting from Clara B. Byrd. alumnae sec- retary at Woman's College, absent be- cause of another meeting: from Roy L. Williamson, of State College, and from Dean E. L. Mackie. of Chapel Hill. Lucy Hatch Brooks 16 was in charge of the effective tri-color decorations, representing the three schools.

An- other important committee — one to in- terest high school girls in Woman's Col- lege, has Ruth Fanning as chairman. Ethel Keigcr Bollinger presented the statement of Laura Weill Cone concerning main- taining Woman's College as a woman's college — not as a co-educational insti- tution, and the group went on record as endorsing Mrs. Cone's stand.

Byrd. alumnae .secretary, spoke briefly for the future advancement of the college — in prestige, scope of serv- ice, and enrichment of opportunity.

Netv Jersey Association
Meeting One: Saturday. October 26. was the birthday of the New Jersey Alumnae Association. Congratulations to the alumnae of New Jersey: congratula- tions to the Woman's College: an orchid to Katheryne (Levis) McCormick. New Brunswick. N. J., who so successfully sponsored the event.
Seventeen alumnae met that Saturday. from 3:00 o'clock until 5:30. at the New Jersey Historical Society. Newark. The first hour featured a tea. much happv conversation about it and about, and re- membering when. Items of interest and material from the Alumnae Office were also freely circulated, stimulating still further, if that could be. the enthusiasm already in evidence. At 4:00 o'clock, these seventeen got down to business. They voted the New Jersey Association into being: they elected Katheryne McCormick chairman: they decided to have another meeting in the early spring when addi- tional officers would be chosen : they made each person present a member of the at- tendance committee: they also decided that in connection with the second meeting an cflort would be made to secure $6.25 from every alumna possible, so that one E Bond could be purchased for th: Chapel Fund for everv three alumnae. All hail and all success!
.Meeting Two: Twentv-two alumnae in New Jersey, representing several cities, gathered at the Robert Treat Hotel. New- ark, for a luncheon meeting on March 1 .

April, 1947
completed the organization begun at the former meeting, electing Doris McRoberts and Marilyn Jackson, vice president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. A con- stitution and by-laws was also discussed and adopted, and several other items of business handled. The group decided upon April 1 as a deadline for sending in con- tributions to the Chapel Fund — our first fund-raising effort. Plans for another meeting before June, or early next fall, were also discussed. Miss Byrd, in her talk, brought much news of the campus, as well as information about the proceedings of the Legislature. We were much encour- aged and pleased by her report, and also got the feeling that Greensboro and our College are not after all very far away. Marilyn Jackson, Secretary.
Pitt County Association
Alumnae of Pitt County, together with seniors at Woman's College home for the holidays, met for luncheon on December 3 0. at the Old Towne Inn. Greenville, with State Senator Arthur B. Corey. Rep. Sam O. Worthington. and Rep. Frank M. Kilpatrick, of Pitt County, as special guests. LaRue McLawhorn Castelloe, chairman of the Pitt County Alumnae Association, presided and did the honors.
After the luncheon, Elizabeth Lewis Mims presented the question "Is Woman's College to remain definitely a woman's college?", using the article by Laura Weill Cone on that subject and an editorial from the Carolinian as the basis of her reply in the affirmative. Following her, Elizabeth Hinton Kittrell, member of the Special Alumnae Legislative Committee, spoke on the subject "Is Woman's College to grow and develop to be 'second to none' "? In the discussion, the seniors took part, and alumnae in general added their own ideas from time to time.
Each of the honor guests also spoke briefly. They were cognizant of the needs of the educational institutions in North Carolina, of the health program, and other important measures before the people of the state; nevertheless they pledged their support of Woman's College in every way possible. Considering the nearness of the Christmas festivities, the luncheon was well attended, and those in charge ex- pressed themselves as believing that the occasion will bear good fruit.

President Frank P. Graham, of the Greater University, was our guest and speaker for the occasion. It was a great privilege to have him — we consiclered ourselves most fortunate. Lapel cards were provided for all those who attended, and they were attractive to see as well as use- ful for identification.

Heath Long '3 5 (Mrs. J. P. Beckwith)
Cha'innan of the Warren County Alumnae Association
to reorganize the Warren County Asso- ciation. In her opening remarks, Mrs. Beckwith gave a report of the regional meeting held in Rocky Mount in April previous, reviewed the talk by Dean El- liott on the London Conference, and showed an illustration of the proposed expanded campus of Woman's College, with Walker Avenue closed. Copies of the Alumnae News were passed around, and the chairman also read a letter from Clara B. Byrd, alumnae secretary, giving suggestions concerning the plan of organi- zation and its activities.
At this meeting a constitution was adopted and officers elected as follows:
Chairman. Heath Long Beckwith: vice chairman. Minnie Rodwell Foster; sec- retary-treasurer. Evelyn Smithwick Tur- ner. It was decided to meet again on No- vember 18.
Meeting Two: The second meeting of the Warren County Association was held as scheduled on November 18. at the home of Evelyn Smithwick Turner. War- rcnton, with Heath Long Beckwith pre- siding. Various items were taken up and discussed with interest — among them the Home Economics Foundation: the raising of the Chapel Fund; the Legislative pro- gram. Mrs. Beckwith stated that she had talked with Rep. John H. Carr. member of the Budget Commission, urging his support of the request made by Dean Jackson for appropriations for permanent improvements. He had been most courte- ous, but of course could not promise any- thing at that time. Regarding the Chapel Fund, all present agreed that this fund is a vvorthy undertaking, but decided to take no action at this time other than to name Vernon Batchelor as chairman of the Chapel Fund Committee, Minnie Rodwell Foster was appointed chairman of the High School Committee. It was decided to have simple refreshments at each meet- ing, and to hold the next meeting on Jan- uary 6. at the home of Miss Batchelor. iVIeeting Three: Vernon Batchelor was hostess to our group on the evening of January 6. at the home of Mrs. Claude Bowers. Heath Long Beckwith presided. The chairman announced one new com- mittee, in addition to those already re- ported — the program committee, with Margaret Paschal Williams as chairman. The Chapel Fund was again discussed. Every one was asked to give as much as possible for this Fund to Miss Batchelor. chairman of the committee, sometime be- fore the next meeting. Mrs. Beckwith briefly reviewed the Seminar program held at the College last fall. The group decided to have another meeting this spring, with a speaker from the campus, if possible. The chairman was asked to contact Miss Byrd about this. Mrs. Beck- with, in her capacity as chairman of the Legislative Committee, told of her work with our representative. The hostess, as- sisted by Mrs. Bowers, served tea and sandwiches as a concluding item of our very good meeting.
On May 10, we have planned a lunch- eon meeting, and are expecting to have with us at that time two guests from the college — Mr. Gregory D. Ivy. head of the Department of Art. and Miss Byrd. our alumnae secretary. Evelyn Smithwick Turner. Secretary.
Wayne Comity Association
Under the capable leadership of Rachel Dunnagan Woodward. 45 alumnae of Wayne County and their guests came to- gether for a dinner meeting at Hotel Goldsboro, on the evening of December 4. The tables in the banquet hall were festive with Christmas decorations, and an attractive booklet, carrying the pro- gram of the evening, menu, and other in- teresting items lay at each plate. Mrs. Woodward, as presiding chairman, did the honors of the occasion. Rachel Clif- ford, remembered by many alumnae as

the executive secretary for the 50th Anni- versary Celebration, but now with the Veterans Administration, introduced Chancellor W. C. Jackson, of the col- lege.

chairman next introduced the president of the Alumnae Association. Miss lone H. Grogan. who brought a short message, and the alumnae secretary. Clara B. Byrd. who spoke briefly. It was a fine evening, and much appreciation was expressed to Mrs. Woodward and her assisting com- mittees for their excellent work.

To those who knew Daphne Carra- way — and her friends are legion, the re- cent appearance of a little book of stories, entitled The Teachers Book Of Slories. adapted for the story hour, from the Graphic Press, Inc.. Raleigh, is a happy event. Daphn; passed from this earthly plane in 1933. following an auto- mobile accident, but she left behind her a host of happy memories of her art as a story teller — an art which people in all parts of the United States had enjoyed as she told them to chatauqua audiences and to community gatherings. Professionally she was known as 'The Dixie Story Lady." Her ability in this field was highly
recognized when she was elected president of The National Story League of America. The book about which we are writing contains eight stories: the foreword is written by Miss Hattie S. Parrott. of the State Department of Public Instruction. Follows a most attractive pen and ink sketch of Miss Carraway.

Ric^c Treasure. By M:bane Holoman Burgwyn '35. New York: Oxford Uni- versity Press. $2.50.
River Treasure is a tender story woven from tales about the Occo- neeche Neck section of the Roanoke River in eastern North Carohna, and the people who live there. The setting is country which the author knows like a book, since she has lived in east- ern North Carolina all her life. Mrs. Burgwyn says she wrote R/ier Treas- ure as a means of entertaining her four children; and incidentally, one might well believe, also as a way of setting before them fine principles in human relationships. The book exhibits all rhe elements which children — adults too — like in a story — continuity, suspense, adventure, the triumph of courage and justice. The central fig- ure, Guy, is a lovable little Negro boy, who is sure to appeal to children everywhere. The author has done an excellent job in making the tales of a countryside into a living and moxing story.
The noted illustrator. Ralph Ray, native of Gastonia, added the art work which makes the volume complete.
Mrs. Burgwyn is the daughter of Vaughn White Holoman "07, a for- mer president of the Woman's College Alumnae Association. She is the daugh- ter-in-law of Judge W. H. S. Bur- gwyn, of the North Carolina Superior Court.

Harriet (Heath) Treverton wrote last fall that she and her husband were on their way to Wrangell. to .raise minks. "We will drive to the West Coast, and then take a boat, with our trailer. We expect to go first to the University of Alaska, to study and observe, before going into our own business." Harriet was married in May. 1945. For several years previous, she had had an interesting as well as color- ful career. For some time after her gradu- ation, she was an X-ray technician at Ft. Bragg. Leaving there, she went to Gorgas Hospital, in the Canal Zone, where she remained until February, 1944, The fol- lowing month she enlisted in the Service, and enrolled in the Physical Therapy School at Walter Reed Hospital. "This was the hardest work I ever did in all my life, but it was also the most satisfy- ing." After receiving her commission as a lieutenant, Harriet was assigned to Law- son General Hospital. "There I taught amputees how to walk, dance, and so on. In May. 1945, I was transferred to Mc- Guire Hospital. Richmond, Va., to work with patients who had received spinal in- juries, or who were victims of infantile paralysis. I was also married that month. I stayed here until the following Novem- ber, when I left for Camp Campbell, Ky., where my husband was stationed. We are looking forward very much to a new venture in a new land — certainly help- ing to raise minks is a far cry from the work I have been doing!"

I am in school again, going to the AEP School here and learning Japanese, so that I can talk to my servant who speaks no Eng- lish. I love it here, and shall regret to leave. Some day I will write you about my harrowing trip over and my impres- sions of Japan. I have heard about sev- eral people here who have some connection with Woman's College. There are many Americans in Tokyo, so that contrary to common acceptance, one just doesn't know them all.

I was very proud last October when the Association of Military Sur- geons presented him with the Welcome Award — highest honor that organiza- tion can bestow — for his research in
malaria. He received a gold medal and a cash prize of $5 00 for his report en- titled, 'Active Immunization Against Ma- laria.' " This report was published in the January number of The Military Surgeon. I went with him to the convention of the association held in Detroit — it was a thrilling trip. Our little son is a year old now. and is as active and full of mischief as all little boys of that age. He keeps his mama very busy, but he is worth it all, and a lot of fun. As you know, my sister Helen is a member of the graduating class this year, and we hope to be back on the campus next June to see her graduate."

Claudeline Lewis writes interestingly from Cleveland. Ohio, where she is an in- structor this year in child welfare in the Graduate School of Social Work. Western Reserve University. Claudeline received her master's degree from Western Reserve in 1941. "1 think I wrote you that dur- ing the past two years I set up a social service department in Jones Home — a home here in Cleveland for dependent and neglected children. I came to this new position at Western Reserve last October. I am supposed to be doing full-time work here, but I am still pinch-hitting at my old job at Jones Home, and shall be. I suppose, until they find another casework supervisor to take my place, I never thought that I should end up as a teacher; but I assure you my new work is fasci- nating— quite a challenge too. And just think! — Dorothy Coley '40 is here at Reserve, a graduate student in social work, on a Red Cross scholarship, and she has signed up for one of my classes! And then another 'nicest thing' happened to me not long ago — I went to the annual meeting of the American School of Social work in Chicago, and whom should I see but Miss Mereb Mossman. here for several months to do a survey on pre- professional education for social work. We talked practically all of two nights — much of the time about Woman's Col- lege, so that now I feel very well caught up on the news. But the ALUMNAE News is my stand-by."

Lettie Hamlett Rogers, whose mother is Lettie (Spalnhour) Hamlett '05. grew up in China, where her father and moth- er were missionaries. In South of Heaven. a first novel. Mrs. Rogers, describes the life of a foreign family in that land of ancient culture — especially the life of a child of American parents among the Chinese people. The book is not propa- ganda: it is not intended to work refor- mation — "it is just a good story. I hope." says the author herself.
After the book came out last fall, the college library and the dormitories joint- ly sponored an "Autographing Party." Each dormitory sold as many copies of South of Heaven as possible, the net profit to be divided among the dormitories on the basis of the number of books sold, the fund thus raised to be used to purchase books for the dormitory libraries. As the alumnae know, for several years the stu- dents have been buying books for their dormitory libraries — a permanent col- lection: and considerable headway has been made on the project. As result of the autographing party. $167 was netted. The contest culminated in a tea. given in honor of the author, held early in De- cember in South Spencer Hall, where Let- tic Ijved as a student. Lettie makes her home in Greensboro with Dr. Lyda Gor- don Shivers and Miss Mereb Mossman. l-oth members of the faculty in the De- partment of Sociology.

Theatre. He was a prisoner of war in Germany for 15 months, but he was in good health and suffered no ill eflccts from his imprisonment. Before he was discharged, he had a 90-day recuperation leave, and as soon as that was over, the last of October, he was formally separated and went back to his old job. In the meantime, we had been married — on August 8. A little cous'n, the 5 -year-old daughter of Judy (Ullrich) Capps '37. was one of the flower girls, Joan (Bluc- thenthal) Pomerantz '41 was present as a guest. In December of that year wc were fortunate enough to find a 4 -room apartment, and have been living in it ever since. Guy, my husband, goes to law school in the evening at the Detroit Col- lege of law — he finished his freshman year there in January. During the day. he is probation officer for our county, and I have the job he had before the war — deputy county clerk of our two-circuit courts in Macomb County. I like the work very much, but I am planning to give it up some time this year in order to be more completely a homemaker. Away up here, of course I do not very often see many of my college classmates. But I believe a good many of the girls in our class would be interested to know what happened to Martha Jean Eddy.

For some time she was a radio actress with NBC and CBS, until her marriage to Lt. A. F. Peddie Jr., USNR, They have recently moved to Omaha.

London, England Before Christmas, 1946 Dear Miss Byrd:
Thanks so much for your very nice letter. I'm sending a wartime snap of Johnny along to you. I'm afraid in the mad dash and rush of getting over here I left all of my pictures home. This one is a bit weatherbeaten.
We moved to an adorable little cottage a couple of weeks ago but expect to move out again in a few more weeks. In fact, our living address seems more uncertain than it was when the Army controlled it. We are fortunate in having Johnny's mother continue to shelter us while we join the throng of "flat " hunters.
I have been "wrassling" with the ra- tions and queues and doing the cooking. I have progressed to the superior stage of occasionally being able to direct someone else to which counter one gets one ticket exchanged, and so forth, on the rather complicated red tape system. The rations are quite meager and variety is something we dream about on our return to the U. S. A. But we really make out quite well, after all, and at least know we are going to get a certain amount of butter and sugar, for instance, each week. Of
Store. Hickory. "I taught commercial work one year at Berryhill. after my graduation from W.C. While my hus- band was in the Army. I worked in the training department of U.S. Rubber Com- pany, and later in the office of Davidson Cotton Mill."
Helen K-iser is stenographer for the FBI, Charlotte — a position she has held since graduation from college.

Jean (McDonald) Le Bouvier writes
course the weeks we get an egg are red letter occasions. I will say this is the country to go through the experimental cooking stages in because the competition of meals in a British restaurant is negli- gible.
I think that if I wanted people on the street to recognize my nationality im- mediately I still wouldn't have to put a huge great AMERICAN sign on me. At least wc always seem able to spot other American civilians in a crowd. We don't always know what it is. but before we hear them speak we can recognize them. It is amazing how it does seem to be stamped on us by our clothes, faces, or gestures, despite the fact that we are such a poly- get nation.
After Christmas, 1946 This seems to be a continued next week effort. We have just finished our Christmas — it was a nice one. The main difference in a Christmas over here is the "Boxing Day" which follows it. I think the term boxing originated from the practice of delivering box's of food. and such, to the poor the day after Christ- mas. Anyway it still holds good for a bank holiday. We even followed the tra- dition enough to go to the circus then — everything complete, with a Scotch bag- pipe band merrily piping such auld Scotch airs as "I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Over There," and the U. S, Marine Hymn ! I hope you are still having good
"Johnny"
holidays and whatever year we make it back to the States, I've talked about W. C. so much that we will have to pay it a visit !
Sincerely, Jean (McDonald) Bouvier '41

There is certainly much to be learned here. To the close observer. Ha- waii has a compact history of the social processes of this era. The statement so often heard, that there is no place like it. is no exaggeration as I see it. My status here is still uncertain. I do not want to leave the territory until I have seen everything, and yet I am beginning to get homesick. While here I am taking some courses in Chinese at the University of Hawaii. This is by far the most difficult subject I have ever tried to learn, regard- less of my racial descent. But you must come here yourself to see just what I mean."

can time fly like this! And he already has quite a bag of tricks with which to cajole his fond parents into doing his will. When the last number of the ALUM- NAE News came, I stopped everything until I had read it from cover to cover. Our class is doing well at marrying, home- making, and having babies — don't you think.' And here again time flies, for it seems only yesterday since we were re- ceiving our diplomas on that platform in Aycock. Right now. here in Schenectady, we are virtual prisoners of winter — ice. snow, sleet, rain, wind — everything of that order. Alan and I are surely look- ing forward to spring and summer, so that we can get out of doors. Feeding time right now for him. and so again, keep up the good work on the NEWS, and good-by for this time.

Frances (Glaze) Koestline. wife of a minister, writes that at the General Con- ference last October, her husband was un- expectedly moved from his former ap- pointment at Welcome to the pastorate of the Methodist Church at Davidson — a considerable promotion for him. "At first we wondered what in the world two Methodists could do in this strong Pres- byterian community, but we have received such an enthusiastic and whole-hearted welcome from Methodists and Presby- terian alike that we have come to feel there is a well defined niche for us in the community life here. We have two churches and an 8-room parsonage. Plenty of room now for the nursery we have been wanting. Heretofore, our daughter Twinkle's 'room' has been a bed in the corner, with toys generally strewed all over the house. Right now I am in the process of redecorating a bedroom to be all her own. She celebrated her second birthday in the midst of the moving melee, and seems totally undistrubed by her change of residence. My parents live in Charlotte, only a few miles away, you know, so that a weekly visit there seems quite the proper thing. Last summer 1 saw my college roommate. Louise Boat- man. She received her M.A. degree from Boston University, as you may know, and is doing psychiatric social work in Boston, and loving it. She is so enthusiastic about her job that I am convinced she has the light one."

Here goes for me. I finished teach- ing in Greenwich. Conn., High School last year, and spent the summer planning my wedding and flying back and forth to Boston. My husband is from Maiden, a suburb of Boston, and since our mar- riage last September, we have been liv- ing in Maiden. Because of the acute housing shortage here, we are temporarily with his people. Of course we are eager to have a home of our own as soon as wc can find one, but with the present arrangement, both of us are able to go to school at night and enjoy all sorts of other activities that housekeeping might certainly interfere with. I have been doing substitute teaching in the Maiden schools, and expect to begin work shortly in the editorial department of the Christian Science Monitor.

"I have been here since the latter part of August, so that the strangeness of the place is beginning to wear off^.

Elizablth Chapman '46
Elizabeth Chapman, Pittsburgh, Pa., is in Nome, Alaska, teaching grades 4 and 5 in the public schools. "I came up on August 2 8 by Pan American Airways. \('hen 1 accepted the job, I thought I was going to be teaching high school music and Eng- lish, but due to the shortage of teach- ers here, I was asked to teach grades 4 and 5. I have 42 students, and of that group 3 5 are Eskimos. Mv com- plaints are just three — that I haven't enough seats for all of them, only half as many books as I need, and more smell than I can manage!
"This 'smell' is a smell that I have never smelled before, and it is terrific! It comes from the seal oil and the dried fish that the children eat. It was much worse after winter set in, for then I had in addition to the seal oil and dried fish the smell of the skins in their mukluks (winter shoes), and in their parkas, which the natives tan with urine. I wasn't able to open the windows cither, since the temperature was often below zero.
"Nome is an interesting place, how-
loo in our mansion." He usually sleeps on the steps leading up to our room, and is much impressed with his importance, posing as vociferous guardian and care- taker. Lee is an announcer at the radio station here, but the pup has not yet recognized his voice over the radio — so lar as we can tell. 1 still mi.ss those good bull sessions we had at W.C and had lime for too. They are an important
ever. The main street (or Front Street) runs parallel to the Bering Sea. All of the streets here art dirt, and all of the sidewalks are made of wood. The population is 1600 and half of these are Eskimos. The temperature, which I have already mentioned, really goes down at times to around 47 be- low. But the worst thing here is a cold, cold wind that blows in from the Bering Sea. The highest speed re- corded on that wind was 56 miles per hour. A bright spot is this — that there is a lot of gold right on the beach here, and one can make around ten dollars for an average day's work.
"Nome is built on a glacier — one will strike solid ice three or four feet under the ground. All the land is tundra and extremely swampy. The ground shifts so much too that a good many of the little houses are on a slant caused by the ground moving about so often. But — believe it or not — there are no shortages in this place. Soap and soap flakes, Crisco, chocolate, butter, meat — all are here in plenty. Prices are high though. A hamburger costs 50 cents; a cheese- burger 75 cents; milk 2 5 cents a glass; ice cream 25 cents a dish; a bottle of coke 20 cents; a fountain ccke 2 5 cents; reindeer steak SI. 2 5 a pound; canned soup 50 cents a bowl, and a nickel candy bar at home is 10 cents here. Fresh foods are still more expensive, and one doesn't buy them except for a splurge. Nothing at all is rationed, and I am told that there was no rationing during the war either. On the other side of the pic- ture, vou will be glad to hear that salaries are high enough to take care cf these high prices. My salary is S.i22 a month. Waitresses get $10 a day, and maids a dollar an hour. One thing I miss is trees — there are none here. And the only animals I have seen in Nome are white rabbits, Eski- mo dogs, two horses that some one brought here, seals, wolves that never come to town; and occasionally I have seen some white whales.
"All in all, Nome is a wonderful place. Any time you want to find a nice vacation spot — this is it!"

Tennessee Eastman Corportion in Kings- port, Tenn. But for the past year I have been a Sales Correspondent in the Cellu- los; Products Sales Division, selling Ten- ite, our cellulose ester plastic. It is most interesting work and consists of answer- ing various inquiries about our plastic. The shorthand and typing which I strug- gled over in school are no longer needed as 1 dictate my letters on an Ediphone and they are transcribed by the Central Stenographic Department. The territory I cover — by letter — is one half of New York City. We have of course a sales office in New York, as well as in nine other cities, and our staff there is the largest we have, consisting of four full- fledged salesmen. In theory my work is to coordinate the work of the salesman with that of the home office, here in Kingsport. It is here that we produce the plastic material in the form of granules and pellets which is supplied to extruders and molders of consumer articles. Examples: steering wheels, radio cabinets, combs, brushes, compacts, etc. Actually the most interesting letters I receive are those from every type of Tom, Dick, and Harry over and above my 125 regular customers. School kids may write in for color samples, or some man who has patented a new gadget may write in re- questing the recommended type of Tenite to use in his particular application. (By this I mean he knows there are certain physical properties, such as impact strength, which will be required to make his product durable and attractive.) A few times I have even carried on spirited correspondence with inmates of various in- stitutions who wanted scrap sheets of plastic from which to carve objects. Oh. It is all very interesting! Kingsport is a rather picturesque town under the layers of foot, dust, and smoke. As yet it lacks a lot as far as entertainment and civic pride are concerned. But it is a growing city, the last census giving somewhere around 45,000 people. Numerous articles have been written on its being the planned industrial city of the South.' You may have read the one in Readers' Digest sometime last year. Actually we have to throw up our hands in disgust at the horrible bus schedules and other in- conveniences native to a fast growing city. Our shopping district is limited to one fairly good store (similar to Meyer's, but with far less merchandise) and dress shops of various types. One either eats at the Kingsport Inn, McGil's Restaurant, or the Snack Shop, and none of these places would require full dress. There is much more I would like to tell you about Kingsport and my work, but it looks like I'm situated here for 'some time to come so there will be numerous chances later on. It's a grand old life!"
1946
Born to Ensign and Mrs. H. N. Jones II (Laura Owen), a son, Harry New III, December 13. 1946, Newport News, 'Va.
Excerpts from a letter from the class president:
"Dear Miss Byrd: I am still measuring life by semesters. We are now just be- fore taking inventory at Davison's, and to my boss. I referred to the next season as next semester! I do almost feel quali-
fied to carry on class meetings in Atlanta since we nearly have a quorum working down here! There are about fifteen of our class nursing infant careers here. Al- though we have not all been together at one time, we do bump into each other frequently and it makes me feel so at home to talk over old times and exchange gos- sip. Joyce, Mary Nell Thompson, Lolly Cochrane, and I are living together. And finding rooms was just about as much an accomplishment as getting that diploma last June! Politically, Georgia is so much talked about that I need not dwell on that. Culturally, Atlanta offers delight- ful concerts and shows. Socially — the phase I enjoy most — there's no end of entertainment! We are enjoying life at its best, from a convertible to crepe su- zettes! Incidentally, Lolly got the con- vertible for Christmas. Letters from sev- eral of our friends indicate that about six of our W.C. crowd now working in Vir- ginia, New Jersey, and Chapel Hill arc planning to visit us in March. That — we will call a 'floor party.' since bed space won't accommodate more than two! This, however, is incidental because I'm certain that sleep won't be a major item of interest that week-end. I had hoped I would get back to W.C. for a week-end this year, but I am not yet sur: that I shall be able to do it, but I do want to go very much. My job is fascinating — each day difl^erent. I am the assistant buyer for blouses and sweaters at Davison- Paxon. Merchandising becomes more and more a game as the market approaches normalcy. Please remember that every little word from College is more than welcome. I miss W.C, and have never become quite reconciled to the grim reality that school days are really over!
"Betty Jane Surratt."
Doris Braswell and Irene Wo.Tible de- cided to remain in Asheville at the con- clusion of their s x months of training in the retail training program given by Bon Marche, a department store there. "Our cours; is completed, and we have decided to stay with the store — Irene as assistant personnel director, and I as assistant buyer in the blouse, neckwear, and scarf department. Irene and I have finally found a nice three-room apartment and are we lucky, with housing condi- tions what they are! We find the retail world interesting, and hope to remain in the work, with a bigger and better ca- reer. "

If Baby Has a Cold
Best-known home remedy you can use to relieve distress of baby's cold is to rub his littlo tliroat, cliest and back with Vicks VapoRub at bedtime. Results are so good because VapoRub:
Penetrates to cold-irritated upper broncliial tubes witli spe- cial soothing medicinal vapors.
Stimulctes chest and back surfaces like a nice warming poultice.
While baby sleevs VapoRub's penetrating-stimulating action keeps working for hours to bring relief. Often by morning most distress of tlie cold is gone. Try Vicks VapoRub tonight!

Mary Glenn (Thompson) Hiers. church secretary. Tampa. Fla. "I am secretary at the First Christian Church here — a job I sorta fell into, but I like it very much indeed. We live about 15 blocks away, but I make direct bus con- nections in about five minutes. I am back home every afternoon by 4:00 o'clock, and have time to begin dinner before my husband comes in. Speaking of cooking. I had never cooked a whole meal in my life before last June. But there is always a beginning to everything! 1 might say we haven't suffered too much by my ama- teur status. Some one was kind enough to give us a Good Housekeeping Cook Book, and I have been a faithful student of its pages. Lucky, my husband, and I spent our honeymoon in New Orleans. It was our first visit to this famous South- ern city, and we were particularly fasci- nated by the French quarter. Believe it or not. an apartment was waiting for us when we got back to Tampa. We have three rooms — the usual living room, bedroom, and kitchen, plus bath and a large closet. I had never before spent an entire summer in Tampa, although I had
heard much about the terrific heat of the city. Our bedroom has nine windows, and that fact helped a great deal. I sup- pose you know that Lucky and I were married at the First Baptist Church. Ham- let, on June 5. just two days after I was graduated. Joanna Tucker and La Verne Barrs. both '4 6's. were bridesmaids, as was Connie Steed. Com. '45. Dot Spruill '46 was soloist. We had been in our apartment here only about 10 days when we had our first guests. Helen (Denning) Lowdermilk '46 and her hus- band, Johnny, stopped by to see us on their honeymoon. Lucky and I insisted that they stay in Tampa for a few days, and so we moved over to stay with Lucky's parents, and let the other newly- weds have our place. Helen is teaching in Thomasville this year, and her husband is attending High Point Co'lege. Best wishes to all the folks at W.C. — it really didn't seem right not to pack up and go back last September. "

Winner o/ Teague Award as Outstanding
Amateur SportsiL'oman in North
and South Carolina
Even good and excellent swimmers — to say nothing of the no-swimmers-at-all — and water sports fans of ever>' vintage, stand in wide-eyed wonder and admiration whenever they have a chance to watch Frances Kenney. sophomore, perform in the swimming pool — whether in the physical education building, or any other place where there is deep water! Frances is a swimmeri And so no one was surprised when not long ago word came to the campus that she had won the Tcaguo Award for women — an award established five years ago in memory of Judge Teague of High Point, who was interested in the development of athletics in the Caro- linas. This award was presented by the sports writers of the newspapers which receive A. P. dispatches. The award was won first, and held for two years, by Estelle Lawson Page, noted golfer: and for the last two years by Peggy Pate. swimmer. Now again a dolphin gets the crown. Frances claims she had her first practice in the creek that runs through the front yard of her two-storied white house in Raleigh! She certainly doesn't inherit swimming. Her mother claims that she can float — the rest of the fam- ily sink! Nick Sacrinty. football hero of Wake Forest College, won the Teague award this year for best amateur sports- man in the Carolinas.

The College Collection Needs Many Annuals
"Last fall Miss Edna Forney brought to the library a copy of her class an- nual. It was a gift from her. The very earliest copy of the annuals to be placed in the library is that of the Class of 1902 — called the Decennial. Later the annual was called Carolin- ian. Our first copy of this vintage is that of 1909. 'We need Carolinians for the years 1912 and 1916. The fact is, the library is making an effort to collect two copies of every annual — one for the College Collection and one for the stacks; therefore, second copies of any of these earlier annuals will be most welcome." The Alum- nae News is here quoting Mr. Charles M. Adams, Librarian of Woman's College.
The annual is now named Pine Needles. The college library is eager to receive copies for the years 1918, 1925, 1928, 1934, and 1935. If you have a copy of any of these numbers which you can spare, the library will receive it with gratitude. The College Collection is growing slowly, with the help of the alumnae.
