Junior Class Presents Sing A very attractive program was presented Saturday night by the Junior Class. The first number was a quartet composed of Miss Virginia Potts, Franc3S Potts. Mr. Graham, and Mr. Bell. They sang first "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." This was followed by a melody in which the girls sang "A Spanish Cavalier" and the men sang "Solomon Levi." After the quartet, a short minstrel was given. The part of Dinah, who was the center of attraction, was well acted by Alice McKay. The man whom she chose for her husband and whom she forced to propose to her was Margaret Eley. Nancy Harrison also played an important part, and her wisecracks brought forth many laughs from the audience.
SMALL FIRE CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT Fire! Fire! Fire! Ring the bell! Ring the bell, were the cries which rang through the building Friday night. Immediately the halls were crowded, and everyone was tingling with excitement, and fear. Uneasiness reigned in each heart until Miss Mary and Cousin Tommy arrived. They were greeted with smoke and flames pouring into the hall. The fire, which was one the second floor of gym hall caught from a loose wire connected with a reading lamp. Since the lamp was sitting in the window, the curtains burst into flame at once. However, it was soon gotten under control, and very little damage was done.

"Friend of the Family" Is Expected To Be a Big Success TNext Friday Niijht Two-Faced Slave' Given at Meeting At the regular meeting of the Dramatic Club on Thursday night a group of apprentices in dramatics presented the play. "The Two Face Slave." Each one having been instructed in her particular phase of dramatic work, several groups of apprentices have presented plays during the year. The play given Thursday night is the last one to be given by the apprentices this year. Claudia Barleon. representing an ordinary person of today, mastered Life. Nancy Parker, who became her slave. Elizabeth Welch, another everyday person, first demanded of Life that he give her bracelets and diamonds. These were granted, but she soon forgot the warning of Claudia and was too easily flattered by Life. Her crown was snatched from her, and she became a slave to Life, as Virginia Payne, Dorothy Justis, Billy Wilkinson and others representing people of today became slaves to Life. So Life became a two-face slave— at one time a master, at another a slave.

DR. WALMSLEY AND MISS LONDON TALK Dr. Walmsley and Miss London talked at the open Y. W. C. A. Cabinet meting January 25. which the advisory board had chairge of. Dr. Walmsley talked on the "Relation of the Student Committees and Faculty Advisers." He directed thought toward these questions. How far should faculty advice be the deciding factor? It is better only so far as in itself it is better. Then he stated that the highest compliment you could pay an adviser was to differ and argue. The ideal plan, is a group of congenial people, interested in the same things, of approximately equal ability, with some having more experience which may help their judgment. Miss London talked on "The Relation of our Y. W. C. A. with the National Y. W. C. A." She stated that the relation was something like a family tree. We are one of the branches of the World's Y. W. C. A. which has its headquarters at Geneva Switzerland. The American Y. W. C. A. which is responsible for all the Y. W. C. A. work in American has given over to the National Council the work of students on campus. The Council meets biannually when the National Y W. C. A. meets, but is more or less a self governing body.

Are we going to have a war? President Hoover and President-elect Rooievelt discussed international relations last week at their meeting. China and Japan seem to be the main center of thought now. According to technicalities there is no occasion for war. Other countries have annexed territory la the same way that Japan is doing, although Japan says she is punishing a few individuals to maintain law and order. It is thought no country wijl intervene unless Japan goes beyond Jahal. a strategeic point in China. These were a few points brought out in Dr. Wahnsley's talk at prayeis January 20. If you should like to be enlightened on conditions in Japan, China, the Philippines and other parts of the world which are in the foreground of world interest at the present time, come to hear Dr. Walmsley on Friday evenings when he gives a ten-minute talk on current news.

STUDENT COUNCIL DEFEATS Y. W. CABINET
PL A Y NIGHT Saturday night found several girls in the gym with their heads bent in deep meditation. Studying—did you say? Of course, they were studying. Jig-saw puzzles cause anyone to think. There were seven puzzles and three times as many girls. Colors, shapes and designs clashed with each other. After much struggling and frowning Ruth Jordan, Marianna Robinson. Louise Hartness and Elizabeth Walt hall finally decided what a modem Santa Claus was like. Come down next Saturday night and enjoy the fun. You might win a prize, too. Even if you can't win you will have lots of fun. Be in the gym at eight o'clock and ready for fun.
