Wheeler Selects 'Outward Bound9 H.-S. C. Students To Participate The spring play of the S. T. C. Dramatic Club has been selected, and will be piesented on March 9th (Founder's Day) according to Miss Leola Wheeler, director. The play will be "Outward Bound." by Sutton Vane, and is a play In three acts, the plot of which can not be revealed without spoiling the pleasure of the prospective audience. The cast of this spring's production has been set only tentatively, according to Miss Wheeler. Of interest to the student bodies of both S. T. C. and H.-S. C. Is the fact that this spring, for the first, time since the war started, tine H&mpden-Sydney boys will participate in the S. T. C. production. The H.-S. Jongleurs used to take part in each play here at S. T. C, but because of the almost depleted civilian student body after Army inductions and the Navy V-12 unit became effective, they have been unable to do so within the past four years. Not even this past fall were the boys well enough organized to take much interest in the plans here at Farmville. Plans for the play have been a little delayed due to casting and selection problems, but rehersals have begun, and according to Miss Wheeler are coming along as well as could be expected. It has been the custom for several years to present the spring play on the night of 8. T. C. Founders Day. Last year's production, ' A Midsummer Night's Dream" was one of the most successful plays ever put on by Miss Wheeler and the girls of the Dramatic Club.

My child, he replied. The ball foretells of great miracles which will befall you. I see in my glass a building of serene outward appearances, however, the Inside reveals it to be something on the order of an institute for unbalanced young women. Now what on earth can that have to do with my fortune? I thought. It sounds more like something out of my past. May I see too? I have a number of acquaintances that might be there. Heavens to Betsy!

Cooperation Required for Effective Government "The persons who know most at any one time about actual conditions of the college life and work are the students themselves." They not only know conditions but they are also vitally affected by them, and they think about them and discuss them. It is, therefore, justifiable to redirect student thought towards an organization whose effectiveness depends in such a large sense upon the concerted efforts of every student in our college.
March of Dimes Needs Your Utmost Support The March of Dimes Campaign is now underway on our campus. The proceeds of this campaign will be used in the treatment of the dread disease, infantile paralysis.
We, on this campus, have a personal interest in this campaign.

The constitution of the association definitely delegates powers, with authority for enforcement, and responsibility to the president of the college and to the student body here at Kannville. 2. The organization must accept democratic principles in its operations. Again in our situation, the constituton and by-laws establish a democratic procedure which is applied in practice. The method of voting, for example, secures about a one hundred percent ballot, a real fundamental for any truly representative government. .'.
