TWO DANCES TO HE HELD AT S. T. C. THIS WEEK-END
The Student Council and Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were "Miss Mary's" guests at Longwood for the week-end. The girls being very much elated over having the honor of being the first to spend the week-end at Longwood, went out at five o'clock Saturday afternoon. Before dinner they played some childish games out on the lawn. Then they came in and "sing" was pioduced in a miniature form. In between the "skits" Dr. Jarman told some very interesting stories. After a delightful dinner the guests engaged in a few hands of bridge at the end of which the scores were added and Virginia Gurley was awarded high score prize, and Rena Robertson consolation. While some danced others told stories and popped corn by an open fire which brought a glorious end to a perfect day. When the guests retired up on the third floor some found "pie beds" and other practical jokes that were prepared by "guess who?" The guests were awakened Sunday morning by "Miss Mary" gently tapping on the door and saying that breakfast was ready. After breakfast the girls returned to school in time for church. Each declared she had the best time she had experienced while at S. T. C.

The Present Honor
System
A CHANGE IS DESIRED The much discussed question of student honor was again brought before the Student body Monday night at a call meeting. The student body is not satisfied with our present system. After an open floor discussion in which a huge number of girls took part it was decided to elect a committee of representative girls from each class to meet with members of the student Council to discuss the matter and if possible work out a new plan. The following girls weii' i lected on this committee: Freshmen: Melissa Mullins, Martha Moore. Sophomores: Mary Priest, Henrietta
Cornwell. Juniors: Laura Smith, French Ilutt. Seniors: Lucille Graves and Lucy Thompson.

Needed—A Definition of Honor
fact that there is so much discussion and perturbation over the question of honor right at present. Does the trouble lie with the system itself, with the student body as a whole, with individuals or just where dors it lie? This question was discussed pro and con at our last Student Body meeting and it seemed to be the general opinion that something definite should he done right away. A committee was elected by the stud< nt body to thrash out this problem, but they can not do it all. Each member of the student body is vitally concerned in this situation. Each one has some opinion about the question, so we urge you to talk the matter over among yourselves, and with the committee elected by you, also. Offer concrete suggestions. Study the honor systems of other colleges and see how the situation is handled in other institutions. Everyone is expected to do her share—so get busy! The University of Virginia is known everywhere for its excellent honor system. Tiny have only a few big things such as lying, cheating and stealing which they consider the fundamental phases of honor. Is this what we need? Perhaps you can put your finger exactly where the trouble lies with us. It is your privilege as well as your duty to offer suggestions about this question. S. T. C. students have always met situations which have arisen before, and we know we can depend upon yen in this most vital question.
College and Phi Beta Kappa I imagine that a number of us have often wondered just how much good one gets from putting his or her best in school work. Just what good is Phi beta Kappa to one anyway except the honor of its membership? but after some considerations one realizes that after such a statement that follows a Phi Beta Kappa key means mere than an ornament: "Forty per cent of our Supreme Court lust ices and Secretaries of State for the last hundred and twenty-live years have been not only college num. but members of Phi Beta Kappa Society, which is made up of the highest scholarship students in our colleges and universities." And again one asks herself what good a "four year course" will be to her wlu n she can teach after a "two-year course." But then the bureau <4' Education at Washington has proved by actual figures thai each additional year In school has a definite cash value. If this is true, it would seem a short-sighted policy for many to leave school at the end of two years when she could go four. There art several reasons why people go to college, and among these are: "The fact remains that the college graduate is now in demand in business". Of course she hopes—or her parents hope for her that she may acquire that indefinite something called culture. She likes, too. the idea of spending four pleasant years with other girls and boys of her age. but the real reason why Mary's parents dig down in the ginger jar, is that they feel that she will got on better in the world if she has a college education." Then in the end it does seem that college il worthwhile and it is worth while to make the most of it because Phi beta Kappa's only asset isn't the key!

In looking around among our caps , and gowns and noting those people who have been outstanding—who have meant something to our Alma Mater, we can't fail to realize that "Little Laura" is just such a one. She has been particularly prominent in athletic work, and this year holds the highest position olfered by that phase of activity—President of the Athletic Association. In this capacity she has also served efficiently on the Student Council. Laura has been an invaluable member of Alpha Kappa Gamma, Kappa Delta Pi and other student organizations, and through them has served the whole student body. Her entire life at Farmville has, indeed been one of doing what she could for others. Combined with this seriousness is a wit that makes her the best of company. A fine citizen a true friend—Laura is bound to succeed.

That Ideal Woman Boston university boys have varied notions when it comes to selecting their ideal woman. Some want a social drinker, others a girl with brains and beauty. "Passionate or spontaneous, but never both," were the words used by one student when asked about his ideal mate. "She should be slender, infatuating, warm, affectionate and slightly moral," said another. Other specifications were: religion.-, consecration, sincerity, sophistication, marked excellence in cooking, and that "she should think more of her personality than her paint."— The Hornet.
