FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS
Athletic Association Entertain Freshmen "School days, school days, Dear old golden rule days." Truly all the children of the Old Woman in the shoe were dressed in their best rompers and dresses and taken to the party in the gymnasium Saturday night. What for? Because the Athletic Association was giving a kid party for the freshmen. The Hampden-Sydney orchestra was there to play for everyone to dance and there was a surprise when Laura Smith announced that there was to be a lucky number dance. Each couple got a number and when the number was drawn out, by a 1910 alumnae, number sixty-six was the prize-winner. There were also prizes for the best dancers and for the cutest dressed couple. The prizes carried out the decoration scheme by being of Hallowe'en note. The refreshments must not be forgotten or discarded lightly. Doughnuts, apples, candy, suckers and icecream lollies were served and enjoyed.

MANY PLAYS & LECTURES We an looking forward with a great deal of impatience to the first number of the Lyceum Course. The plays, lectures and choruses which they have brought us in the past give us reason to think that each number will be both enjoyable and educational. "The Tales of Hoffman" is scheduled for November 15. It is one of the grand operas written by Offenbach which has had a deserved success. While listening to this opera, you will forget that you are an S. T. C. student and will become one of the revellers in Luther's Tavern, listening sympathetically to the tales of Hoffman's three, luckless love-affairs. On January 6 we shall have with us Sir Philip Ben Greet and a notable English company which for forty years has been prominent in England for their splendid performances in London, Oxford, Cambridge, StratfordOn-Avon, and other places in Shakespeare's England. Ben Greet's Company was the first to be invited to appear on the White House grounds. This was during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. He presents the best in dramatic literature with true, histrionic art and in a way not to be excelled by any other producer. On January 21) the Sprague players will be here for both matinee and night. Those of you who read "Back Home," by Irvin Cobb in the 'Saturday Evening Post" will enjoy this new version of them, a comedy in three acts "Back Home" is a wholesome, humorous story which, once heard, is never forgotten. Also, the Sprague players will present the "Rivals," that delicious comedy of Sheridan's which "has entertained millions and will prove just as appealing to the present generation as it did to the theatre-goers of the past.

Freshmen Now Full-Fledged Members of Student Body The freshman class is to be congratulated on the way they entered into and participated in the series of events planned for Freshman Week. Much credit, indeed, is also due to those who Initiated Freshman Week—namely, the junior class, which is capably headed by Laura N. Smith, president, and Miss Virginia Potts, class man. As a very fitting beginning of Freshman Week each "rat" was presented with a rat cap Monday night of last week by Virgins Cox, president of the sophomore class. After this everto-be-remembered presentation a one-act playlet was presented in which the heads of the organizations in school took part. This playlel was not presented merely as entertainment, but to introduce to the freshmen the leaders of various activities in our school life. Freshmen, get in touch with the head of whatever type of extra-curricular activity you are interested in and let her put you to work. The organizations need you, and you need
the organizations.
A prayer service to be kept in the heart of each member of the student body was that led by Miss Mary on Wednesday evening. "Self-conAdence is a good tiling to have, but self-confidence without guidance is a very dangerous thing." This remark, made by Miss Mary, is one which may lead us to the very heights of honorable success If we call on The Guide to lead us. No class can accomplish anything without leaders, and so on Tuesday night nominations were made for class president. Friday night four girla were chosen as officers to lead the freshmen in their various activities. You have elected these girls to office, freshmen, and now it Ii up to you to back them. The student body is watching with interest the workings of your class iu order to determine your decree of cooperation and to est (mate I he calibre of your class. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The sophomores as well as the athletic association realized the truth of this statement. On Thursday night the sophomores indulged in an Informal initiation of the "rats". It may safely be said that the "rats" enjoyed this occasion just as much as the sophomores —if not more. The kid party given Saturday night by the athletic association in the gym brought Freshman Week to a successful close. The freshman class is no longer regarded M a class of "new comers'* to our institution of learning. Each freshman is a member of the student body, as much so as any senior. We are all going to work together, forgetting any distinction between a '•new'* girl and an "old" girl, striving to accomplish something worthy of Alma Mater.

If this is what you de. it v. ill be an easy task for you to get it. On the other hand, if you begin with the determination to get as much out of your course as possible, to take advantage of very opportunity that comes your way, to keep before you the fact thai you are training your for a profession and a great responsibility—you will j/et out of your work just what you are putting into it and when your graduation day conies, you will feel a glow of satisfaction in that you have done to the very best of ynjr ability that which you have Undertaken. Do you realize that the college offers exactly the same opportunity to every student who enters? It is not the fault of the college that some of them make poor records—it is simply that they do not measure up to the requirment that is set: The college is fair and impartial and it is the individual that fails: I wish I could, for a little while, reverse your view-point and make you realize how the college feels toward the student instead of how the student feels toward the college. Remember: when you come to us for the i time, our four hundred "new girls" all stand equal; we know nothing whatever about them except that they have all graduated from their high schools. They come to us with a clean record and our hopes are high: every new session brings to us a new group and we always have the feeling that we are entering a select set of students—we know they have been successful up to this point and we, naturally, expect them to succeed with us. Do you realize that when they enter, every student has exactly the same kind of record sheet made for her ,a fresh, clean sheet; she makes a fresh start in her education and we know absolutely nothing about her until her own work begins to tell us. When the first reports come in, we begin to form our opinions as to the students, the high schools from which they come to us, and in some cases, the families from which they come. The attitude of the student towards her work is a reflection of the training she has had in her home and her high school -the courteous, pleasant. reasonable student cannot come from any but the best; the girl who take, a resentful attitude, who is always on the defensive has not had the propel training, or is not living up to the standards that have been given to her. It is only through you that we can judge as to what your training and surroundings have been. We bear a great deal about c spirit what is it '.'

REAL ART We'd like to know the girl who made the calendar for "Rat Week". It is evident that those three little question marks after Thursday caused much agitation among freshies, and precipitated an orgy of surreptitious confabs just before supper when exment was soaring. Those question marks, we'd say. were responsible for the sly knowing winks among the sophs when a rat timidly approached the Bubject, the little quirks which 'tided in much coughing into table napkins. Those same three marks sent quite a few freshmen to bed with feigned headaches before a certain little affair In the auditorium came otF. (Jpperclassmen had a little exercise and quite a few laughs out of it by helping to scare 'cm to death with weird thump-thumps behind the curtain. Then we expect you'd say, as many of the freshies did as they emerged from the tenacious clutches of (headed sophs, that *'it was a lot of fun after all." Those little question marks may have glared quite as forbidding as ever at little rats as they scurried by but they had served their purpose and vtjere henceforth dropped from the youthful minds of "rats". Their only significance now is, perhaps, a queer little relieved feeling in freshmen. But still, the artist knew her stun".

'A DUMB WAITER" COMING TO S. T. C. Just a forewarning! Coming! "A Dumb Waiter," 'on Oct. 26th, put on by the Junior Class .With Miss Potts superintending, Etta Marshall, directing, and Miss Robertson and Mary Todd working the choruses, what could be cuter? There are about six choruses of well chosen girls, freshmen and upperclassmen. The music is P-E-P-P-Y the kind that makes you feel no pain. Bring all your friends and forget your troubles at "A Dumb Waiter."
OVER THE TEACUPS Well, I so.' the Little Sitting Room is all straight again. I guess the photographer must have finished. Hope she flatten me in my picture. No— of course I don't really need it, but then pictures so often bring out the worst points. Well, I admit that I don't have many, but then I do want my best features to show up. Say, did you hear about Mr. Coyner? Well, he stood around looking upstairs like he didn't know exactly what to do, and in a few minutes he asked one of the girls if she thought he'd need a chaperone to take him up. Can't blame him for feeling rather timid! And Mr. Moss—he really was the funniest thing! You didn't hear about him? He went up looking well—just a little mad, and Mrs. Siddel tried to make him smile for his picture. He didn't seem to be in a smiling humor, BO she finally said. "Now listen, don't look at me like you're going to say, 'Boo' " Don't you love that? Aren't they though? I never have seen Freshmen quite so fresh. Wanta hear something funnny? Please don't say that I told you. Of course I know you won't, but I don't want it to get back to her that I told it. Do you know Dena Lee Stith? Well, she decided to help along the cause by initiating the Freshmen into college life, so she told one little "rat" to come over and make up her bed. So far so good, but the "rat", sad to relate, had a sense of humor, and made Dena Lee a "pie bed'". Was she mad? I've never seen anybody quite so upset. It's a good thing that that Freshman wasn't in the Senior Building. I'm afraid she wouldn't have lived to tell the tale if she had been. Another one of the upperclassmen had something almost as bad happen to her. She told a "rat" to come clean up her room—had no idea she'd be there and the next morning the girl arrived upon the scene a little after six and woke everybody up. No,—I can't tell who she was—she'd never forgive me because she isn't the type to enjoy a joke when the laugh's on her. Was I in chapel Saturday morning? Of course, and didn't you love that invitation of Miss Iler's? I've had many in my life, but I never had one asking me to make myself scarce before. What time is it? Eleven twenty-five, and I'm supposed to be in class. Oh, no, there is no need to rush, there aren't but four of us in the class and they won't start before I get there. Please come around and tell me all the news, you always hear the cutest things. Of course not. I don't think girls have a right to gossip, but I do love to hear all the latest. All right, I'll meet you at Joan about five-thirty. No. I'll be on time.

LYCEUM COURSE COMING SOON (Continued from Page 1) of the 'Rivals'." On February 6, the fourth of the series, "Tarn O'Shanter," will be given. No Yong Pork, 'the oriental Mark Twain," expects to be with us Feb. 1J. He is an authority on Par Eastern problem?? and as such we are especially fortunate to get him. His address all the way through sparkles with wit, is replete with humor, seasoned with whimsicality, intermingled with pathos and lofty sentiments. His gift of oratory, breadth of vision, richness of experience wealth of information, power of analysis, and kene sense of humor, make him a very popular speaker in the great cities of America and Canada. We usually save the best for the last. Certainly the program for March 3 is one of the best. Those of you who were here during the summer session have not forgotten the delightful performance given by the Boston Male Quartette. This time we are to have the Boston Male Choir with May Korb. You will agree with the Evening Express that: the Boston Male Choir handles a song in a manner to get the best meaning out of the composition. Splendid attack, polished shading, fine crescendo, and effective phrase are qualities perfected to a degree that places their work on a pedestal of achievement.
