HIS DORMITORY WM
named for Mr. Robert T, Gray, Raleigh, who served as a member of the College Board of Trustees from 1901 until his death in 1912. Mr. Gray, together with Mr. R. S. Pullen, gave the original ten acres upon which the first buildings of tht College were erected. Thi* gift, together with $30,000, donated by the City ol Greensboro from the sale oi bonds in that amount, secured the location of the new institution in Greens- boro.
Mr. Gray was a lawyer, a civic promoter, a church- man, and "the best loved" citizen of Raleigh, where he lived.
During his years as city attorney, he drew the plans for the sewerage and water systems, and organized the first electric light company in North Carolina, the sec- ond south of Richmond. He was a director of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, financial agent and assistant president of the Carolina Steel and Iron Com- pany, member of the Board of Trustees of the Blind Institute at Raleigh, mem- ber of the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, member of the Board of Trustees of the State Nor- mal and Industrial College, now the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina; he was active in fraternal and civic organi- zations in his city and state. It was said of Mr. Gray that everything which concerned his fellow-man concerned him. So understanding and so charitable was he toward all people that he often quoted the lowly saying: there is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to be over-critical of our neigh- bors.

Art Education As I See It
B^i Gregory D. Ivy
Head Department of Art Woman's College
My attention was attracted re- cently by three statements made by men who look at art from very different points of observa- tion, and these statements are pregnant with meaning signifi- cant to all persons interested in art. Dean William F. Russell, Teachers College, Columbia Uni- versity, in an article, "Art and the Future," in Art Education Today, April, 1935, says: "Art and Art Teaching hold a place of paramount importance in the future. In the Middle Ages those in terror of the future secreted themselves behind battlements and walls and hid themselves in caves. In this day and age, those in doubt could well prepare to become teachers of games and plays, teachers of drama, and particularly teachers of art, for no other branch of knowledge or skill will fulfill so important a need or offer so certain an opportunity. Whatever our form of government may become, whatever trend the New Social Order may take, artists and teachers of art will be needed."
Allen Tucker, artist and teacher, made this statement in the American Magazine of Art, April, 1935 : ' ' For the creative imagination must rule the mind. The mind must not limit the creative imagi- nation. The affair of the painter is to exercise and develop his creative imagi- nation. The country depends on him. He

must develop and express his ideas, his visual ideas, in terms of design. He must see — see visions ; for where there are no visions the people perish."
We must realize also, as Irwin Edman states in Art Education Today, that "Art is at once a name for a group of activities and enjoyments, both expert and exquisite, and a name for a certain quality of all activity and all ex- perience."
In many schools it has been the cus- tom to employ an art supervisor who teaches art from grade one to grade twelve inclusive. This supervisor makes
THE ..ALUMNAE ^EWS
one or perhaps two hurried trips each week to each grade in the elementary schools w^here she works directly with children whom she may see from thirty to seventy times during the year. The short period of time in each classroom and the infrequency of the visits make it impossible for the supervisor to know, much less understand, the children in- dividually ; this practise in turn retards the development of the child and creates a feeling of dissatisfaction within the children and within the teacher. A bet- ter plan is for the regular classroom teacher to have sufficient background to enable her to work directly with the chil- dren as art problems present themselves in the course of the day's work. The art supervisor will function directly with the classroom teacher as a sympathetic guide, an efficient technical aid, and a source of inspiration for the true cre- ative spirit so essential in the develop- ment of elementary school children. The .elementary classroom teacher will be- come aware of and truly feel and appre- ciate the basic, universal urge to create — an urge, which has in many instances been ironed from them in the college where they received their training; or perhaps the task was finished there after having been commenced in the elemen- tary school and carried forward with gusto and determination in the second- ary school. The classroom teacher ex- pects the children to do as well in the art activities as she expects them to do in other school activities. Should not the administration and the pupils expect as much of understanding and appreciation of the art activities as the teacher may possess in other activities of school life ? A change is needed in the type of work done in many schools. Much of it is more or less busy work, almost wholly isolated from life and having no signifi- cance for the child, but done to relieve a tired classroom teacher. Art must mean something to the children in the public schools : better buildings (not necessarily more expensive buildings), better class-
rooms, a solution for some of the per- sonal problems of the child. Art must mean something in the community : bet- ter housing, better industrial conditions, better parks and playgrounds, and a far better use of the steadily increasing leisure time of the great masses of the people. In other words, art must become a more vital and powerful social force, but must not become propaganda for any political or other groups to accom- plish selfish ends. Art that does not pro- duce a tolerant, independent and critical attitude toward life can have but little significance.
In the junior high school, art must become broader in scope. If interest in art wanes at this stage, it is usually due to a misunderstanding of boys and girls by the teacher, or to the academic policy adopted by the school toward the work of the school. A direct personal appeal for each individual must be so manipu- lated that it may contribute to the in- dividual's integrated growth and have social meaning to him. The stronger in- tellectual interest noticeable among junior high school pupils should receive stimulation so that depth may be as- sured in growth.
The direction of individual interests is frequently determined by the time the student enters senior high school, so that the creative development in any special direction may receive the emphasis that seems desirable from the standpoint of interest shown by the student and his technical ability. The art of the high school must carry forward the develop- ment of an individual who has a clear vision of the wholeness of life, the unity and the rythms of living. It is essential that students have a realization of the social and cultural contributions of the art of the past as it has taken its place in the complicated pattern of experiences contributing to a higher degree of real civilization; but he needs to have also the realization that the art of any age must look forward, must express itself in terms of its age regardless of the

turbulence of the times or the direction taken by a new social order. Anything else would be an attempt at escape from the reality of life, and such art would be decadent and would lack vitality and freshness of vision.
In any part of the public school this fact must be kept in mind — - that the finished product is of no consequence, but whatever happens to the individual through the process of creating that product is vastly important.
Teachers of art must be developed who have a knowledge of real life, who pos- sess a feeling of tolerance towards view- points, ideas, policies, and cultures other than their own and who have an inde- pendent, critical attitude which is flex-
ible and fluid. They must be individuals who are continually growing, continually discarding old and worn ideas, and ever seeking new and fresh sources of inspi- ration from the life around them, for their own creative efforts and for the inspiration of those people with whom they work.
The whole matter is aptly summed up by George J. Cox, chairman of the De- partment of Art, University of Los An- geles : " . . . art is something that will eventually make our utilities intelligent, our Main Streets civilized, our leisure a delight, and our daily lives significant of something more God-like than the mere will to survive. In short, to the modern teacher. Art means Life."
The Weil Fellowship Students
In order to aid and encourage grad- uate study, Mrs. Henry Weil, of Golds- boro, established here in 1924, as a me- morial to her husband, what is known as the Weil Fellowship. The original gift was six thousand dollars, but Mrs. Weil has added to the initial sum from time to time, until the fund now totals sixteen thousand dollars. The income from this smn is available for the use of the win- ner of the Fellowship, and the amount is not to be repaid. So far the aAvard has been made each year to a member of the graduating class, although the condi- tions of the gift provide that if no mem- ber of the senior class meets the require- ments, the Fellowship may be granted to a graduate of the College of not more than five years standing.
The award of the Fellowship is made each year by a special committee of the faculty, appointed by the dean of the College, with himself as an ex-officio member. In making the decision, this
committee adjudges each prospect by two basic principles : first, scholarship ; second, general excellence. The winner is entirely free to do her year of grad- uate study at the college or university of her own choice.
The Weil Fellowship has now been in existence for twelve years, but thir- teen young women have participated in its benefits, since in 1935 it was divided equally between two equally ranking stu- dents. It might be of interest to survey briefly the history of the award during this first dozen years of its existence.
1924 — Julia Ross
To Julia Koss, of Asheboro, belongs the distinction of initiating the series. She was a major in history. Choosing Columbia University, she studied there during the fall of 1924, remained at home the following spring, but resumed her work in the fall of 1925, and received
THE a^LUMNAE ^EWS
the M.A. degree in Political Science in June, 1926. The spring of 1926, she taught government and history in the Greensboro High School. That fall she was married to Dr. W. L. Lambert, a physician in Asheboro. They have a daughter named for her mother. As Mrs. Lambeth, the first winner of the Weil Fellowship is active in every phase of civic life in her city.
1925 — Margaret Bridgers
Margaret Bridgers, of Tarboro, was also a history major. She chose the Uni- versity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill ; and after a year of graduate study there, received the M.A. degree in Sociology, in 1926. For two years thereafter, Miss Bridgers taught history in the Greens- boro High School. Followed another year of study at the New York School of Social Work. This additional training led her into four fascinating years as visiting teacher in the Norwich, Con- necticut, city- schools. Going from there to Houston, Texas, she did social service work in connection with Faith Home ; but this year finds her back in the state of Connecticut, as visiting teacher for the Hartford public schools. Margaret Bridgers is another good thing the Yankees have taken from us !
1926 — Kate Hall
Kate Hall, of Asheville, was a major in English. She had creative imagination in writing; she was interested in dra- matics. It was no surprise, then, that she chose Yale University, enrolling in the school of drama, in Yale 's department of Fine Arts. She spent half the year there, following her graduation here, but in the spring study was interrupted by illness. That fall she came to Greensboro to teach for a year in Aycock school. Fol- lowed two years as director of Greens- boro's Little Theatre. During this time she also wrote two or three pageants which were staged in the city. When the Little Theatre was disbanded. Miss Hall
taught English for a while at Washing- ton Seminary in Atlanta, and spent a year in Richmond, teaching and doing various other things. In Atlanta, she was active in the Little Theatre group, and became definitely interested in marion- ettes. She made her own puppets, wrote her own plays, and gave a number of puppet performances in the city. In the spring of 1934 she went to Athens, Ohio, did graduate work in English at the State University there, published several poems in Manuscript, supervised a library project for the FERA, and un- der the sponsorship of the University, gave puppet shows in Athens, and in neighboring towns ; she also taught a class in puppetry. A few months ago she came to Washington, to be assistant to the head of the statistical department of the Women's Division of the WPA.
1927 — Josephine Hege
Josephine Hege, of Rosemary, was a major in history. She was also president of the Student Government Association. Like her immediate predecessor, she chose Yale University. The year after graduation here, she studied at Yale, pursuing there her undergraduate in- terest. Then the High Point High School claimed her for six years as teacher of history. But in the spring of 1934, the high school at Ridgewood, New Jersey, lured her away. But not for long. In the fall of that year she returned to North Carolina, to the Woman 's College, to be- come Student Counsellor in Anna Howard Shaw Dormitory, and to teach in the department of Histor3\
1928 — Katherine Taylor
Katherine Taylor. Salisbury, majored in French. She entered Radcliffe College for her year of graduate work, won new laurels in scholarship, and received the M.A. degi-ee in June, 1929. That fall her Alma Mater called her; and since that time she has been an instructor in French in the department of Romance
I
THE e^LUMNAE ^EWS
Languages, Woman's College. For the past two years, Miss Taylor lias also served as a Student Counsellor, divid- ing her time between that work and teaching.
1929 — Clara Guignard
Clara Guignard, Lincolnton, was a major in Sociology. She broke away from the traditional East, and went West to grow up with Chicago Univer- sity. For two years she studied there, and received her M.A. degree in So- ciology in the summer of 1931. But the labor of learning was not unmixed with other pursuits ; and a few weeks after the degree was conferred by the Univer- sity, she was married to Dr. R. E. L. Faris, whose father is chairman of the Department of Sociology at Chicago. (It might be added that Clara was at one time a student of both ! ) During her sec- ond year of university study, Mrs. Faris spent much time working under Dr. Jesse Steiner, now at the University of Washington, then at Tulane, gathering material on Recreation in Chicago, from 1900-1930, for the section on Changes in Recreation of the Hoover Commission on Social Trends, headed by Dr. AVilliam F. Ogburn, of Chicago. Mrs. Faris lives now at Providence, Rhode Island, where her husband is a teacher of Sociology in Brown University. She remarks : "Of course I have had to learn to keep house, particularly now that we live in a new little New England cottage on the edge of a large farm, with woods reminiscent of the Park back at College, and with a hill for mid- winter sports. ' ' This winter she is teaching history and sociology for the local Emergency Program of Col- legiate Studies, for high school gradu- ates who are not attending college.
193 0 — Mattie-Moore Taylor
Mattie-Moore Taylor was a major in English. As editor-in-chief of the college newspaper. The Carolinian, she became deeply interested in journalism. To the
University of Wisconsin she turned, and entered its gradaute school as a major in Journalism. After a year there, she be- came publicity director for the Madison Community Union, an organization simi- lar to the Community Chest. They have never let her go. Miss Taylor's official title is Director of Publicity. It is her job to inform and "educate" the public about the work of the fifteen Community Union agencies. In addition to the usual and general routine of news releases and the gathering of statistics and informa- tion about social conditions, she prepares and directs radio programs, operates a speaker's bureau, and during campaign time writes booklets and pamphlets, and prepares posters and other material of information and appeal. "Of course I see the clients in need of service at one end, and the business men and leisurely ladies at the other end — it 's a fasci- nating contrast."
1931 — Mary Jane Wharton
Mary Jane AVharton, Greensboro, was a major in Biology. She was also presi- dent of the Student Government Asso- ciation, and was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa in 1935, the first year that the society was installed at Wom- an's College. Mary Jane brought the Weil Fellowship back East, and for the third time to Yale University. For four years, from 1931 to 1935, she did grad- uate work at Yale, pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Zoology. During two of these years, she held a laboratory assistant- ship. But romance will find a waj^, even among the test tubes and telescopes, and so in the spring of 1933 Mary Jane was married to Walter Nelson Thayer, III. In January, 1935, Mr. Thayer graduated from the Yale School of Law. They are living now in New York City, where Mr. Thayer is practicing law. Mrs. Thayer is teaching biology in Fieldston High School, and completing her dissertation, preparatory to the award of the Ph.D. degree.

193 2 — Marian Anderson
Marian Anderson, Havana, Cuba, was a major in piano. The year after her graduation, she went to New York, where she studied piano with Josef and Rosina Lhevinne. In the summer of 1933, she went with her teachers to Austria, where she again studied piano with them at the International Conservatory of Music in Mondsee. While there, she played in a public concert with the Roth String Quartet from Budapest. Back in the fall to New York, Avhere she won a fellowship on a comj^etitive basis, for study at the Juilliard Graduate School of Music. At the beginning of her second 3^ear at the Juilliard, she was named teacher of secondary piano in the school, a position which she still holds, along with her graduate work. This is Marian's fourth year of study in piano, and allied subjects, in New York City, and her third year at the Juilliard Graduate School.
193 3 — Katherine Moser
Katherine Moser was the second Greensboro girl to receive the Weil Fel- lowship. Her major was history. She was elected last year to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. With her the pendulum swung back to Chicago University, and there she spent the year after gradua- tion, continuing her undergraduate ma- jor, and receiving the M.A. degree in history in 1934. That fall, she taught his- tory in Burlington High School. But at the beginning of the second semester, her Alma Mater brought her into its faculty, as an instructor in the depart- ment of History.
1934 — Alice Arm field
Alice Armfield represented the Con- cord High School. She was a major in French. During the entire four years she was a student at Woman's College she made no grade lower than A — the high-
est record in scholarship ever made by any student in the history of the Col- lege. Needless to say, she was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. In addi- tion, she was an outstanding leader in student activities. Alice also turned to Chicago University. There she continued the brilliant record made in undergrad- uate days. But in the spring of 1935, she became ill, and returned to her home in Concord to recover.
193 5 — Margaret Moser Kate Wilkins
Margaret Moser and Kate Wilkins were both Greensboro girls. Margaret was a major in history ; Kate was a ma- jor in chemistry. Both were elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Both were outstanding in general excellence. Their qualifications for the fellowship were so nearly equal that the committee divided the award equally between them. Margaret followed the example of her sister, Katherine, and entered Chicago University last fall, where she is again concentrating in the field of history. Kate went East — to Mount Holyoke College, at South Hadley, Massachusetts, where she is an assistant in the depart- ment of Chemistry.
Has the Weil Fellowship been justi- fied? Has the judgment of the various committees been justified? Here is the record. Make your own answer. R^ad into it a whole volume of idealism not mentioned on the printed page. Remem- ber, too, that the Weil fellows have only begun.
And what do the beneficiaries think?
Here is a sentence taken at random from a letter from one of them : "I must not close without trying to express my appreciation, though most inadequately, for Mrs. Weil's interest in Woman's Col- lege students. I hope some day to prove what the fellowship has meant to me."

Meeting one : College spirit and en- thusiasm ran high among Atlanta alum- nae on the afternoon of November 30, when we gathered around the tea table in Eunice Kirkpatrick Rankin's home and heard Dr. Jackson talk about the College, the changes that have taken place, and the plans for its continued development. In the group present were representatives of classes from the sec- ond year of the opening down to the graduating class of 1934. Needless to say, many personal reminiscences punc- tuated our dean's story of continued growth. This was an interesting group. Dr. Mary McDougall, head of the de- partment of Biology at Agnes Scott Col- lege, has done distinguished work in her field. Among the evidences of recogni- tion w^hich have come to her is the award of the Rochester Fellowship for research work in Naples. Some of the results of her research have been translated into five foreign languages. Eva Sink Weir has recently been elected to the Board of the Atlanta League of Women Voters,

Then there was Florence Smith Cannon — she of the most lovely suburban home, who severed her connection with the Coca- Cola Bottling Company, but who still maintains an office down town and sup- plies us with flowers from her gardens. Ina Edwards Groome, our 1934 grad- uate in Home Economics, was present. Bess Tays Donaldson, wife of a greatly beloved physician, advises our group on current literature, her latest recommen- dation being Lady Astor's Horse! Flor- rie King Morgan has a talented daugh- ter studying on a fellowship at the Cur- tis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Sue Canter, with her friendly smile, en- courages us as a member of the staff of the main branch of the Carnegie Library, to read good literature.

In fact, we are se- cretly saving up all our symptoms until the young Doctor finishes his internship ! It was a good meeting — believe the word of one who was there ; and we parted with confidence in the future of our College under Dr. Jackson's leadership.

CHAPEL HILL CLUB
^Meeting one : On Saturday evening, October 5, the members of our club were entertained by Julia Cherry Spruill, chairman, and Pattie Spurgeon Warren, secretary, at the home of Mrs. Warren in Chapel Hill. Mrs. Spruill presided. We decided to meet four times a year, the next meeting to take place in January. Five objectives were adopted :
1. To inform ourselves about our Col- lege, its history, its present status, and important current happenings on the campus.
2. To make the College known to Chapel Hill girls and their parents.
3. To aid alumnae who are newcomers in Chapel Hill to adjust themselves so- cially in the community.
4. To keep vital oiir interest in the College and in other alumnae.
5. To keep ourselves informed regard- ing important matters of particular in- terest to women.
To carry out these objectives, the chairman appointed several committees : the Social Committee, to interest itself particularly in the newcomer, Adelaide Van Xoppen Howard, chairman ; Irene Slate Stoudemire, Vera Ward Peacock, Gretchen Taylor Hobbs, Madge Ken- nette ; a High School Committee, to be- come acquainted with the Chapel Hill high school girls and their parents, and to devise ways and means of informing them of the opportunities at AVoman's College, composed of Mae Stoudemire Armstrong, chairman; Janie Stacy Gwynn, and Elsa Craig; a News Com- mittee, to keep us informed on impor-

CLEVELAND COUNTY ASSOCIATION
Meeting one : The Cleveland County Association met on Saturday afternoon, November 9, at the home of the chair- man, Katherine Shenk Mauney, in Kings Mountain, to celebrate the forty-third birthday of the College. Guests were welcomed by Ruth Raby Fulkerson and Emma Rice. We sang the College Song, read the messages from the FAMILY ALBUM, and heard a piano solo. Trees, by Rasbach, played by Miss Rice. Dur- ing the business meeting, over which Mrs. Mauney presided, these new officers were elected to serve for the coming year: chairman, Rosalynd Nix Gilliatt, Shelby ; vice chairman, Mitchell AVil- liams, Kings Mountain ; secretary-treas- urer, Burt Gettys, Shelby.
At the conclusion of the program, the guests were invited into the dining room, where the lace covered table was cen- tered with a white birthday cake, and topped with 43 tiny yellow lighted candles, arranged to make the figure 43. Mary B. Reynolds Wolf, of Charlotte, poured tea.
CONNECTICUT STATE ALUMNAE CLUB
Meeting two : A luncheon meeting was again held in Hartford on November 9. Nine members were in attendance. It was
voted to have an evening meeting in January, which would be our third for the year, and a fourth, later in the spring. We shall make an effort to con- tact the mothers of Connecticut girls noAv at Woman's College, for the spring meeting. Much interest was expressed in Alumnae House.

gested as the first step in our program, a survey of the alumnae in Durham County, with two purposes in mind : to enroll them as members of the Associa- tion ; to find out their activities since leaving College — this material to be sent to the alumnae office for permanent record, and for the publication of such items as are of general interest. Plans for the dinner meeting were also set in tentative motion. We hope at that time to have several members of the College faculty present with us.

Then there was a birthday cake — in all the glory of forty- three tiny glittering yellow candles, in honor of the 43rd anniversary of our College. It was good to have been there.

NEW YORK ALUMNAE CLUB
Meeting one : When we heard that our Alumnae Secretary was coming up to New York in December to attend a meet- ing of the National Board of the Ameri- can Alumni Council, we immediately de- cided to get the gang together. There- fore, the call went forth for a dinner meeting on Saturday evening, December 7, at the Ella Barbour Club. Alumnae from the earliest days down to the class of 1935 were present — women who rate as doctors, writers, librarians, teachers, journalists, research scientists, psychol- ogists, social workers, homemakers, uni- versity students. Our one gentleman guest was Dr. Gudger. After the good dinner, with Alice Sawyer as our gra- cious hostess, we pulled our chairs close together, eager to hear all the "news from home." Kate Styron McCullough presided and presented our guest and friend. Miss Byrd talked in intimate fashion about the folks at College we know best and love. She told us current liappenings in the inner life of our Col- lege, and gave us a finer understanding and appreciation of its place in the edu- cational world. Incidentally, she intro-
THE c^^LUMNAE ^EWS

duced many of us present to the group at large. Last but not least, she described to our delighted ears — Alumnae House. Then came the pictures. As scene after scene passed, bringing to mind well- remembered activities and well-loved spots, we all fell to talking at once. "In between acts," what could have been more natural than our sudden breaking into the College Song! Under the head of business, Mrs. McCullough presented the plan of organizing the Metropolitan Area into regional branches, each with a chairman and each to meet twice a year with its own program ; with a meeting of the entire membership to be held in New York City once a year. This motion was unanimously voted. As officers of the federated group, the following per- sons were chosen: chairman, Alice Saw- yer, New York City ; vice chairman, Lot- tie Whitt Teass, New York City ; secre- tary-treasurer, Margaret Mclver Byrn, Woodside. Regional chairmen were chosen as follows : Queens, Kate Styron jMcCullough, Long Island ; Columbia, Avery McConnell Hood, New York ; the Village, Rebecca Herring, Brooklyn ; Eastern New Jersey, Grace Forney jMackie.
We believe that the organization of the Metropolitan territory into smaller groups will make for greater cohesion and more active participation of the individual members.
Margaret Mclver Byrn, Secretary.

Various members read the mes- sages from the FAMILY ALBUM; others guessed who the authors were. Everybody enjoyed the pictures. At the
conclusion of the program, we gathered around a white birthday cake, decorated in yellow wax tapers. Yes — we took turns in blowing the candles out! And did we enjoy it when it was cut and served with coffee ! Long live the Wom- an's College of the University of North Carolina !

' ' Kate Hall also gave a short talk on the work being done by the Woman's Division of the WPA.

MORE ABOUT BOOKS
Pleasure Piece. By Eose Batterham '11. (New York: Harper and Brothers. 1934. Pp. 290. $2.00.)
Reviewed by Anne Cantrell White '22, staff member, Greensboro Daily News.
Rose Batterham has done well.
Her "Pleasure Piece" is as sturdy and simple, as sincere and strong as the mountain folk about whom she writes. Perhaps there are actual persons like
ROSE BATTERHAM
Celie and her father Jud who inliabit caves in the mountain fastness. Perhaps not. That isn't important. It is impor- tant that Rose Batterham makes them real ; her characters^ capture the heart and the imagination.
The novel moves with a sweep, a rhythm that scarcely misses a beat.
Even toward the end, which lacks a little of the promise of the first part, when melodramatic situations sweep nigh into high tragedy the book is sus- tained and convincing.
Even the dialect fails to annoy as dialect so often does. It seems natural and fitting that Celie should "aim to commence on the new uns come mor- row." "Mighty peart gal ye got, Jud," says Beam, one of the Dark Hidges who ply their black business of living in the secret places of the mountain. A right peart girl indeed is Celie, sweet with the first budding of womanhood, sweet and lovely and good, even though she treads near the precipice of becoming a "pleas- ure piece," as the mountain folk term a man's light o' love.
Rose Batterham shows her love and knowledge of the plants and herbs that clothe the mountain steepness. She shows real feeling for the mountain people. She has freshness and restraint. Hers may not be a great book, but it is a beau- tiful book and a moving one. She has done well.
(Note: It will be good news to the readers of "Pleasure Piece" to hear that the author is already working away on another novel. Rose Batterham, so known to her classmates and college friends, is in private life Mrs. W. G. Houskeeper, and lives in South Orange, N. J. Her husband is greatly interested in amateur photography, and some of his pic- tures have been accepted in the Photographic Royal Society of Great Britain and in the Annual of American Photography. They have a son in high school, and a daughter in junior high.)

Keeping Up With
the Alumnae
Miss Edith Mclntyre was a member of the faculty in the early days. News of her death came in a recent letter from Phoebe (Pegram) Baughan:
' ' I have just returned from Gainesville, Ga., where I learned that our beloved Miss Edith A. Mclntyre had passed away. She was taken with something like acute indiges- tion on the night of November 11. The doctor was called and he gave her a hypodermic for relief. She went to sleep for a little while and then awoke strangling and passed away before anything could be done. I had a long talk with the lady of the hotel. Miss Mcln- tyre's nephew came and sent her body home for burial. Will you please let her many friends know if you have not already been informed of her passing."
Katherine Bradshaw is the new Junior Court Director for the Gate City Temple of the Maccabees. She meets each Saturday with children of Maccabees to teach them dancing and dramatics. Her instruction, one of the cultural and educational projects of this order, is extended to about one hundred and fifty boys and girls.
Hattie Bunn says the Founders ' Day letter from the College made her "homesick" for the College and her friends there. She lives at the beautiful old Bunn residence just out- side of Kocky Mount, but on account of ill- ness doesn 't leave home very often. We count her among our most steadfast alumnae.
Victoria Byerly has been assisting her brother, who is a doctor, in his office at Cooleemee for twenty-three years. Previous to
that time she taught for a number of years in the schools of Lexington and Davidson county. Victoria was one of our alumnae guests at the College on Founders' Day.

A few years ago, she made a talk at Woman 's Col- lege on ' ' Medicine as a Profession for Women. ' '
Alma (Cunningham) McCain, High Point, chairman of spiritual life for the Greensboro District, addressed the Woman's Missionary Soeie'ty of West Market Church at one of the Society 's fall meetings. Mrs. McCain made a deep impression upon the large group of women assembled to hear her.
Elizabeth (Harrison) Duckett and her family, home from their wanderings for a time, are settled this winter at Drexel Hill, Pa. ' ' All three boys are in school, after a wonderful summer at camp. With their music lessons, regular studies, scout activities, the Episcopal Boys Choir, and so much playing to do — they are very busy. Needless to say, they keep mother occupied too. But if I am on the East Coast next Commencement, I promise to come to the College for the Home- coming. "

Last fall, when the Greensboro alumnae put on their big benefit bridge at Students Building, Emma Sharpe, Jr. was one of the very efficient candy vendors. Her object was to sell candy for the Fund — no mistake about it. She ap- proached Dr. Foust with the request that he buy some candy. Dr. Foust (teasing): "I cannot buy any; it is too hard; I can't bite it!" Emma Sharpe, Jr. (quick as a flash): "That's nothing — you can suck it!" It is reported that Dr. Foust then bought out the lot!
Last spring at the state meeting of the North Carolina Education Association, Euth Fitzgerald made a talk on "The Elementary School Principal and the New Curriculum."

The Alumnae News takes the liberty of quoting herewith from ' ' The Carrollinian, ' ' Vol. II, No. 1, dated at Chapel Hill N. C, December 25, 1935 — an issue devoted to the activities of the Eleanore (Elliott) Carroll family, and put out by the Carrolls as a joint enterprise — printing editorials, art work, etc., and carrying Christmas greetings to their many friends:
' ' Years do not dim our memories or Aveaken the ties that bind us to our friends of these long years. We send you again at this season our warm greetings and our hope that your 1936 will be rich in serenity.
' ' Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Carroll spent a week in New York the latter part of April. Mr. Carroll was attending a meeting of the Col- legiate Schools of Business. Mrs. Carroll was the guest of Mrs. D. W. French of Englewood, N. J. These little events being spaced by seven to ten years are duly recorded in the family annals — as points from which to reckon time.
' ' The Carrolls and Elliotts summered (for 2 weeks) at Beaufort. Elliott's daily swim- ming schedule was from 9-12 A. M. and from 2-6 P. M. except by special prayer of his mother. ' '
Under Chicago headlines we read:
" D. D. Carroll, Jr., arrived today to spend
two months assisting Don MacCracken, golf
professional at the Euclid Hills Country Club.
(Ed. note: He earned his living during
these eight weeks — approximately!)
"Eleanor Carroll's progress in her art work is attested by her promotion to assistant art editor of the Carrollinian. She made her own block print Xmas cards this year.
"It is chronicled that to 83 lb. Elliott, the third son, went eight pounds of the avoirdu- pois his mother is reported to have discarded last fall!
' ' We regret to report that Donald Carroll (age 5) was the first of the Carrolls to suffer suspension from school. He ran away from kindergarten and came home alone — about 2 miles — with incidental visits at the Presi- dent 's office where he went ' to see Frank, ' and to the Library, ' to see Gugga. ' After two days he was permitted to resume his course.
' ' The golf score of the senior golfer fluctu- ates between 32 and 45. These may be taken also as inverse barometic readings."

Anne (McDoAvell) Goulden writes interest- ingly about a year she spent in Florida ■ — her first year after graduation. Tallahassee was headquarters. From there she went with her husband, who was assistant state for- ester, from one end of the state to the other. They went into all sorts of out-of-way places and naturally had all sorts of out-of-way experiences. Once her husband received a frantic long distance call from the district forester in Lake City, saying that a fire had broken out in the Okefenokee swamp, and that the two hundred and fifty men who were fighting it hadn't been able to get it under control.

She watched the flames creep up the trunks of pines that were a hundred feet tall, and in a moment saw them crash to the ground. The men worked for two nights and a day — most of them without any relief, before the fire was under control. She was given the job of bring- ing food from Lake City and taking it out to the fighters. A few trips through the burn- ing area turned her into a big black char- coal smear — like the men! It must have been exciting to this the one member of the bri- gade, to see anything of the fire itself. Anne and her husband live now in Knoxville, Tenn. She maintains that the most "dignified" member of the family is McTwinkle, their Scotch terrier!
