and the day started off with the pageant "Spirit of the Years". This outstanding event was produced by the teachers and eight thousand children of the Winchester schools. The feature parade, "The Trail of the Pink Petals" was led by 3.000 children dressed in pink. The chariot of her majesty was drawn by four dapple-gray imported horses from Mrs. Whitney's Liangollen Stables in Loudoun county. The floats, each repreesnting some specified thing. extended four miles. Every minute soemthing was planned to add to the enjoyment of the participants—dances, receptions, and all the things that go to make up an enjoyable time. Each of the prtD cesses from various schools was escorted by a cadet. These cadi' turn, gave many effective drill.-..

ALMA MATER During this week when we unitedly think very particularly of mothers, when we think of and do the kindnesses for those who most patiently have served us best would it not be well to include in our Mother's Day tribute our Alma Mater? She stands in our lives for those same under services for which the mother of our childhood days is so clear. She upholds the same standaids of worth, of truth, of loyalty, love and service. Untiring effort and endeavor to serve mankind, to maintain the ideals of a Christian love is likewise her request of us. In being true to our Alma Mater, we are true to that which mother would have us be; and so let us propose a toast to our mothers in truth and in spirit, to the best, to the finest, to the most loyal and loving, our mothers!
OPEN FORUM Dear Editor: The tumult, so to speak of May Day is over, but the shouting lingers yet. To use one of Dr. Jarman's expressions, "the performance came up to our usual high standard", but that could not have been possible without the wonderful co-operation of all the participants and everyone else who contributed to the huge success of May Day. In behalf of those who saw the May Day program. I wish to express appreciation for this well planned and beautifully presented performance. A Student Dear Editor: Why couldn't the privilege of an open library be granted to the seniors? Although this system did not work several years ago with the whole student body, the seniors are not apt to abuse it. The benefits to be derived from the open library outweigh the few chances taken on having books lost. More reading would be done and a greater knowledge of books and authors. And think of the pleasure brousing around in a large library, such as we have. Although the librarians do their best as things are, there would be no time lost in having to wait for books. If this privilege is too much to ask for, why not set aside, say two hours each day during which the seniors can go free in the library? Let them prove that they can be trusted! JOHN HI I.I.

The only meeting to report this week was a most delightful one held at Chase City on Monday night at which time Miss Mary White Cox. Dr. Jarman. Miss Pauline Camper, Miss Virginia Potts and Mr. S. L. Graham represented the college. The party was a unique one in that there was a musical and dance program furnished by three of Chase City's "younger set." Misses Boswell and Bryant gave a tap dance and Mr. Swift Gregory played the piano. The honor guests for the occasion were the girls of the high school graduating class. Alumnae of the college were hostesses.

AFTER FLASHES OF MAY DAY
Mother A mother's love—how- sweet the name! What is mother's love? A noble, pure and tender flame, Enkindled from above. To bless a heart of earthly mold; The wannest love that can't growcold; This is a mother's love. —J. Montgomery.
•MOTHER'S DAY' "One day in the year set aside for mothers—how strange a custom! Like setting one day aside to grasp the beauty of the sun. the moon, the stars—all the lovely, natural things that bring warmth, light, comfort. "Many times I have longed to set my thoughts down upon paper. Not in flowery language of greeting cards, but in the simple language of love. I write the words, 'Dear mother'—lovely tender words—and grow silent beneath the weight oi thoughts and memories that, lying buried like precious jewels beenath the dust of years, arise clear and glowing in my mind. "Impossible to describe the homely beauty of those thoughts: warm kitchen filled with the scent of bread. MinUgbt dappling a clean white cloth, touching the rosy apples in their copper bowl; tender memories of loving acts and dreary tasks done smilingly while the sun shone and the years marched swiftly past, and vouth. perhaps secretly mourned, passed with it. "How to describe the broad- deepbosomed earth, symbol of maternity—awakening in the spring of the year, lying fruitful beneath the summer suns, resting from its labors in the autumn and dreaming peacefully wrapt in snowy mantle? Dwelling upon these thoughts we hear home strong on the wind, the galloping hoop of Time astride the ceaseless cycles of the years, drawing nearer and nearer. Then caught by a vague fear, we say or we think or we write, "Dear Mother,'" —Ester Elwolsky (age 14)
THE LIGHT THAT FAILED If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o' mine. O mother o' mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! I know whose' tears would come down to me, Mother o' mine. O mother o' mine! If I were damned of body and soul, Mother o' mine. O mother o' mine! I know whose prayers would make me whole. Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! —Rudyurd Kipling.

'Death Takes a Holiday' For three days Death takes a holiday. The whole world pauses while a .strange lover takes a beautiful girl in his arms. No woman ever had such a lover. He was dangerous; fascinating; a lover tasting the joys of mortal emotions for the first time. Three men adored him but only one was willing to die for him. Men's hearts stood still. Women's pulses quickened at the sight of him. This is Frederic March's greatest role as Death loving a mortal woman. You just cannot afford to miss it.

JUNIOR WOMAN'S CLUB HAS DANCE AT ARMORY The dance given by the Junior Woman's Club on Saturday night in the Armory was quite successful. The crowd was composed mostly of school girls and Hampden-Sydney boys, although numerous town people attended. The Hampden-Sydney Collegians played for the dance. Being greatly handicapped by the loss of a saxophone and bass player, their music was not up to par; however, few of the dancers were conscious of this and enjoyed the eevnt very much.

Pierrot's Door: Japanese, Jasmine Flower; Chinese, Magic Ball: Scotch, Blue Bells of Scotland; English. John Peel: American. Home on the Range.
This week-end our tennis team will have a chance to redeem themselves. In their last match we made excuses for them, the first match, they had had only a little practice, etc. This time excuses will be hard to find and so we hope they will bring home the bacon. You may be an amateur at tennis but experience is the best teacher. Why not come on out and try your luck. We realize that the number of players outnumbers the number of courts, but double up and make a foursome.
