though its material is historical "Our ' Alma Mater" deals with the spirit of the school rather than with its material form or status. Miss Tabb has published a book if poems and the "Life of Father Tabb" also "Essays Historical and Critical" by Mrs. William Cabell Flournoy, was published recently. These essays deal with the history of Virginia, sketches of famous men and historic places that make most Interesting reading. "Chattering by Mail with Vivian Shirley". This is a column in the Philadephia Evening Ledger. Vivian Shirley is now Elizabeth Malcolm Durham. She has also published a book of poems. "Grtbblei" "by Julia Johnson Davis.

Mrs. Julia Johnson Davis was mentioned very favorably as a poetess from Norfolk in a recent report on contemporary Virginia writers. Continued on last page
The air of secrecy which has for a number of weeks enshrouded th" "stunt" practices and rehearsals caused the audience to wait impatiently for the curtain to part for the presentation of class and organi/.aion contributions for the student Building. The Freshman Class was the firs', to appear with a clever Wrigley Chewing gum stunt, one stick of which contained the large class contribution which was presented to Dr. Jarman The sophomore class found its gift concealed in a mine and presented in the form eif a huge' lump e>f g dd eliscovered by attractive miners.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE QUARTET VISITS S. T. C. The Hampton Institute Quartet sang in the College auditorium Tuesday morning at chapel time. This quartet is now on a good will trip to many of the schools and colleges in Virginia. They travel for eight months of the year. The members of this quartet are not students, but graduates of the Hampton Institute. They work out their own harmony without aid of musical instruments. They sang quite a few Negro spirtual songs. One of the songs that captivated the audience was "Mighty Like a Rose." This quartet has been invited to go to Europe to show people of that country the real negro spirituals realized and by the American Negro.

SIGMA PHI RHO HAS INTERESTING ORIGIN Continued from page one the help of Mr. Grainger and Dr. Walmsley, the organization known as Sigma Pi Rho. After Dr. Bondurant had been notified of the formation of Sigma Pi Rho, he wrote the following: ."Your plan with reference to the honorary fraternity is an excellent lie and I believe that you have a real ■pport unity for establishing a classical honorary fraternity for teacher tiainin.tr schools. I am really quite sorry that under the present ruling it is not possible for you to have a ihapter of Eta Sigma Phi. If I am not mistaken, I first brought that mater to your attention and I believe that if Mr. Stow and his assotes understood the character of work which is done in your institution and some others, there would be no sedious difficulty in the way. However, this difficulty is only imaginary. You have the opportunity of nationalizing your own organization for eacher training colleges and in this way you can enter a field that needs y special cultivation." through stunts and .skits. I've heard ninny -tiange whisperings and even many strange sights in the last few ('ays pirate-. Grecian girls, gypsies miners, flowers and loads of other things walk ng around school. And to complete a perfect day, Dr. Alderman, President of our University of Virginia, is to talk at eight o'clock. I don't intend to miss a thing all day long. What are those ruins? Why, that's what'l left of our fire. You haven't (1 of it? Why it was quite a nentous affair. It's been suggestI. and quite appropriately, that we change our calendar—at least our school calendar—to read A. F. and B. F.—after the fire and before the fire—I think it quite clever. There really isn't so much to tell. We were just awakened in the middle of the night last Monday—or at least it Tuesday morning—and told that there was a fire next door. Fortunately, nobody was living in either of the buildings—they had vacated iily last Fall. We all went down, and after the firemen came, they soon had the fire under control. Of course we were all excited for the time being, but I think it's about over now. Why, this is our new building! Isn't it lovely? Only Juniors and Senors are over here, and we feel ourselves quite fortunate to have such a lovely home. Dr. Jarman certainly does everything in his power to keep his "family" comfortable and hap-

WINTER BEAUTY The west wind swept the hillside hour by h.iur, Taking its toil of splendor with each gust. Scarlet and saffron, coppery, red as dust, The leaves went down before its conquering power. But the great trees refused to bend or cower, Mourning a transient beauty brought to dust. In an enduring loveliness they trust, Clear-cut in lines of grace and strengh they tower. And then I thought, "How will it be with me When all my leaves have fallen one by one? Oh, may my soul stand out, for those who see, Steadfast and strong against the setting sun, Broad-branching with wide humanity, Clear-etched by gracious deeds that have done!" Josephine Johnson Class 1910
CONVENTION I grasp the door and fling it wide To look upon the world outside; There is no change in sky and tree, The change is only wrought in me. Strange how the people turn and greet Each other in the crowded street, With gayest nod, and cheery words Like lyric mirth of noisy birds. I gown myself, forget all grief, I make my mouth on autumn leaf; And don my mask, and turn and greet The people in convention's street. —May Brinkley Class 1917

"Uncle Robert"
•'Aunt Lou"
These pictures will, we are sure, bring back many pleasant memories to hundreds of our alumnae who knew "Aunt Lou" and "Cncle Robert," two of the most faithful servants the college has ever bad; both were connected with the institution for more than twery years, always loyal to duty, and jealous for the good name of your Alma Mater. "Uncle Robert" died several yean ago, "Aunt Lou" had to give up her work five or six years back, on account of ill health, but lived until Founders' Day of this year when she passed peacefully away at her home in the country.
LONG, LONG AGO
DEATHS
One of the students has received a letter which she wishes to share with others in part.
"Dear
:
This morning I was going through a box of things belonging to my grandmother, who died in 1851; and came across this piece of some old newspaper. In the lower corner of it is an advertisement for the Farmville Female Seminary which stood on tinspot that the College occupies. I thought that probably it might be of interest to you as it presents such a contrast to present day prices, etc., and so I am sending it to you. My mother went there to school during the last days of the Civil War and used to tell me about the Confederate army retreating right by the gate just prior to Appomattox, and how the Union soldiers when they came used to try to "show off" for the girls, performing feats of horsemanship, but the girls jeered at them in derision. The girls were so nice to the Confederate wounded who were carried by and so scornful of the Union soldiers that the "Yankees" ordered all blinds closed and blankets hung over all windows that had no blinds. Later, however, they gave all the girls transportation home. They were hauling cannon in wagons and it was in one of those wagon trains that the girls were taken home. My mother sat on the cannon and was so exhausted from riding all day that she slept soundly and did not hear the music when the soldiers serenaded that night. This is the advertisement.

(LEO Ql ISEMiERRY TO HEAD ARCHERY Cleo Quisenberry has been chosen to head acheiy for this season. Archery is a comparatively new sport at s. T. C. and one in which there is a growing amounl of interest, it's great fun trying to hit the hull's eye! Practices will start as soon as exams are over. Cleo is interested in every pha- of athletics we have, and takes an active part in them all. She is a good sport, and a willing worker, and we are sure that the archery season will be one of unusual success.
RECIPE FOR MAKING A MONOGRAM Take a barrell of the best kind of determination on the market an.I season well with a peck of perseverance. Combine in the right proportions with a bushel of hard work. To give it a spicy taste put in the companionship of fifty greenhorns which are slowly ripening and add sportsmanship at all times to keep from souring. Don't be discouraged if it seems too hot or too cold; if you work at it continually it will turn out perfectly and you will have a well-earned monogram.—Copied from The Rotunda. Nov 19, 1926. Monogram practice is being held at l o'clock on Wednesdays and at 5 on Fridays. Bring along all the ingredienta
for a
monogram on those days
