HAMPDElf.SIDNEY JONGLEURS PRESENT 'STOP THIEF" On Saturday evenng, February 27, >t 8:15 in the State Teachers College Aud/toiCuim the Haimpden-Sidney Jongleurs presented their initial play of 'he season. Tho delightfully humorous drama, Stop Thief, a farcicial fact in thraa acts by Carlyle Moore, was particu•arly well suited to the Jongleurs' dramatic ability. The men were exceedingly ingenious in adapting: themselves to the women's parts, not only in their drees, make-up, and. voice, but in their manner as well. Charles Kernan. the president ot the Jongleurs, who was the thief, was excellent in his role. Willie Williams, as Nell, who was h!s efficient accomplice, was a genuine girl with "her" boyish bob and feminine ways. Burton Dechert, assisted by his monocle, was a mo=t attractive English bridegroom. The members of the Carr family, their weMng guests, the rector, and. the agents of the law were all perfectly splendid, eacn carrying out his part exceptionally well. Professor J. G. Roberts, who drected the play, is to be heartily con?ratulilted, for without him it woul<: not have been possible. The cast of characters who appea. ed in the order in which they are name', was as follows: Joan Carr Jack Brightwell Mrs. Carr Lacey Tynes Caroline Carr Roy Randolph MaAft Carr Dabney Jarman Nell Willie Williams Wiliam Carr _ Christian Munt James Cluney Burton Deehert Mr. Jamison Alfred Dudley Dr. Willoughby _.

I'ri.i dent of its Roaid of Trustees.

on September 17, 1884, the state Board of Trustees of Virginia'! Public School System, only established, in 1870, ordered the Principal, Dr. WilllBfln Henry Ruffaer, to open the siate Normal Bohool at Parmrille u \ weeks. And on October 80th began the til st session "f OUr Alma Mater. Whilo Dr. John Cunningham was President the school grew slowly and stea I ly, though not rapidly. In tho tea years of his administration there was an increase from 93 students the first year to ISO the last. Mis motto was "to teach truth am', honor by trust, and to punish severely when this trust was betrayed." Twenty-eight years have passed since Dr. Cunningham last walked k0W9 our halls ard lest we forget the man who e tablishe1 its present "consil'cuous success" it is well to look back upon him who 'saw in it Its small beginnings, and Inn who bore tho burdens and heat of the day, who |toiled for it and ded in its service,) John A. Cunningham." Dr. Robert Frazer became Presif'ont of the Stato Normal School in February, 1898 an! for four hard years he worked with an earnestness and zeal and a GOOBolenitloui devotion to his duty that characterized him thrughout his life. "His aim in the conduct of school afTairs was, first to pro\l'de the best possible advantages for tho students; second, to Offer those advantages to Student! at •he lowest cost so that the benefit! rright reach the largest number." Then in 1902 OHM our own dearly beloved Dr. Joseph L. Jarman. There is no need o say anything more because we all know all about Dr. Jarman and his administration SO far, how in 1902 he had only tfl members in. his faculty aril now there are nearly fifty of those august members presiding over our alread.y overcrowded el! ■roome, for the student body has grown in far greater proportions than the faculty. Our library has been enricbe.:, we now have a Tea Room of wll ch we are inordinately proud anil the most imposing of Student Biiildii ,'s. Other worn1 is have been performed and we are expecting more miracles to unfold any day for what can not our own dear J. L J. do? Nothing. LOBf may he adm::i ster the affairs of our S. T. C.

FOUR YEARS. It has been the privilege of the degree class of 1926 to be at S. T. C. during four very fruitful and colorful years in th.> life of the institution. Four autumns ago, the Sutcknt Building was nothing but a hole in the gound where the first bricks of a foundation were being laid. A foundation, too, was laid in the hearts of the three hundred girls who entered then, a foundation on which they hoped to raise a structure of knowledge, character and woriih. The student body, then, numbered only fivo hundred. It has grown (toward a thousand and the class of '26 has hoped tc grow in breadth of mind and depth cf vision with the rapidity <>; our school population. The institution was a Normal School when this year's Seniors entered. They saw it attain the dignifted position of a Teachers College and they hope to be allowed the privilege of helping it to raise its standards and to realize its ideals.

An 'institution is Ike a human beng—1'. may possess physical beauty "t-iray be surrour.'ad. by luxuries an 1 y a'l (things lovely, but if the rifjht spirit is lacking it '3 not fulfilling the purpose fir which it. was intended, and Its beauty is as that of a rare blossom without perfume. Alma Mater lives: she not only llvef with those who are at present in '•erjeare, but she is very close to all who have had the privilege of a su; ourn with her in other days, and her spirit is tho same that it was in vcars that have long ago slipped into the past. Her physical growth has been wonderful, but it has not changI her heart; the vital force that we speak of as the Spirit of Founders lay was born with her and she Implanted it just as strongly'in the, heartl of her children of 188G as in 'hose of 1926.

Full-grown Seniors rarely make initial tours but a most notable one was Several days back to that unIiunctuated WRVA in Richmond in real cars, i. e„ not trucks or trains.

OLD TIME SPELLI.NG BfcE On Tusday night, February 23, the ol l-time spelling bee was revived in all its glory and mirth, by the locai chapter of the asmunae. it lacked the zest of having sweetheart spell against sweetheart, on account of the -earth of masculinity. A number of the alumnae, faculty, five from each college class, and a few high school pupih made up the paiiucipar/s. Dr. Frederick Diehl dealt out the bitter dose to speller after speller, until one by one the s"cs decreased until Mr. Coyner wa holding his s'de seven to one. At 8:1" promptly Dr. Walmsley hurrie.h 'eft the room on "co.tspicuou-". Mr. McCorkle, getting tired of standing-, pre'erred a terrestr'al" position. One after another the high school and college girls, along with mem ' ■ rs of the almunae left the ranks ntil only Elizabeth Roberts remained to ho'.d up the college fame and tc wn the $2.50 for the Senior C ass Soon 'fricassee" proved her "Waterloo." Finally, Mrs. Wicker Miss Davi and Mr. Coyner held the floor until the lone nut "p'stachio" proved too much for Mr. Coyner. leav'cg Mis* Davl; and Mrs. Wicker so physical tired but mentally alert that chairs were provided with the prospect of a drawn battle until "stat'stlcian" left Miss Davis the victor.

THE LOOK Strephon kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, But Colin only looked, at me And never kissed at all. Strephon's kiss was lost In jest, Rob'n'3 lost In play, But the kiss in Colln's eyes Haunts me night and day. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?
