Local Pi (Jamma Mu Chapter Wins National Honor
Junior Production Portrays Typical S.T.C. Student's Life
Freshman Classman To Be Presented On Thursday
Virginia Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. National social science society at Farmville has been notified that its series of programs for 1936-37 was the best from among all the under graduate chapters of the organization in the United States. Chapters of Pi Gamma Mu are divided into graduate and undergraduate groups. For Farmville's chapter to receive such a high rating among all of the undergraduate schools is indeed an honor. The chapter receiving equal mention was that of the University of Toledo, which was singled out for its excellence among the chapters of the graduate groups. The winning programs were built around topics of current, general .and social interest. Virginia Gamma presented the representation of a national armament conference. Different girls represented the varoius countries and attempted to answer the vital facts before the nations today. Pi Gamma Mu. which was established to recognize those students who have shown outstanding ability and interest in Social Science, and tries to instill in their minds a scientific attitude toward all social questions, is one of the two active chapters that continue their work throughout all 19 months of the year. Virginia Acworth, who graduated last June, was program chairman of the winning project.

Twenty-seven Amelia High Sehool Girls Organize Club
This year the librarian of the Amelia High School library has been visiting throughout the county with the endeavor to extend library service into the various praded schools. Since the new teaching methods based on the use of varied materials have supplanted the old type of teaching, involving the use of only a few textbooks, circulation of material is the most necessary in the schools. Through these visits the librarian has found that in every instance there is at least the beginning of a good library collection. Some schools have been more fortunate than others in securing funds with which to purchase new books. However, every teacher has adopted as one of her aims for this year that of adding to her library a group of worthwhile books that will enable her teaching to be more vital and more appealing to her pupils. The book collections, so far, have been prepared for circulation by putting into effect the same system that is used in the Amelia library. Since the teaching duties of the one-room teacher are in many casse so heavy, a pupil libra has been appointed to take charge of this work. Also, the teachers throughout the county are bringing their worn copies to the Amelia library for repair and mending. Future Teachers Organize Twenty-seven pupils at the Amelia High school who expect to become tMOlMMi recently got together and organized a club. They named this club the Student Teachers' Club Lois Gilliam ha sbeen elected president of the club; Mildred Wlllson. vice-president; and Jessie Wilkins, secretary.
