Reception in Recreation Hall
First Ai<l .Made Credit in Schools «peJMje
Last Tuesday morning, the Juniors, with green and white colors streaming, formed a triumphal arch from the auditorium d,jor to the stage. Miss Grenels, the honorary member of the class, was escorted by Virginia Vincent, through the arched hands,— hands raised in a pledge of loyalty to Miss Grenels and the Junior Class. After their President presented the honorary member, the class sang with the enthusiasm of jolly Juniors; their voices swelling with pride as they looked at Miss Grenels and sang, "How we'll love you and to you be true." They meant that, too, did those eighty-four Juniors. Tuesday evening at 10:15 the class entertained Miss Grenels and thetr Senior girls in the Recreation Hall. Miss Grenels was so rushed during the dancing that she could only smile that smile of hers and say, "Why— why girls, this is just wonderful." An Impromptu program was rendered. Virginia Potts sang the "Old Oaken Bucket", "Down by the Old Mill Stream"; Eleanor Bennett sang, "Lady, Be Good," and Virginia Vincent sang, "A Pal That I Love". Oh yes, we had punch! We had yells and songs. We had a rip-roaring good time!
ALUMNAE TO HOLD A CARNIVAL SOON All Organizations Are Invited to Take Part The Farmville Chapter of the Alumnae Association is to give a carnival the first part of December in the gymnasium.
Several years ago the
Alumnae had a carnival in which all the organzations In school who wished, took part. It was a great success— in fact, such a success that they were requested to repeat
it—well,
they
waited awhile to repeat it, but they are doing it this year and on a much larger scale. At a meeting
of
, representatives
from all the organizations Miss Mary Clay Hlner invited each one to take part. There will be ring performances and side shows. For the best ring peiformance, the contest is or,en to all, a prize of five dollars ($5.00) will be given, and for the second best performance a prize of two dollars ($2.00). The organizations beside puting on ring performances may each have a Bide show of some kind. Everyone has been very enthusiastic so far, and if the classes, clubs etc., want to have their choice of stunts, they had better say so at once, «H everyone will have an equal chance. This will be an opportunity for everyone to have a good time and for all of us to make some money, so let's all help the alumnae and ourselves by boosting the Carnival!

Seven years ago the curtain of molt en steel which had. shut out nation from nation and people from people. was liftoc 1 to disclose a world ma 1c over. Spe nt and breathless, the peoples of Itat earth emerged from under this barrier to find themselves In a new era.. FUrsl to> -"use this change was t:, American Red Cross. From an organization bendinpr every resource to meel war reeds.it turned, to a peace program which in itself, and in the manner in wliich it has been executed, is a monument to American vision. Sharing in this achievement haw been the college men and women of the United States. Wholehearted!) they have accepted We Red Cross program, and with the spirit charac teristicor American youth, have made it their own. An Important part of the Red Cros ■ program has for its aim the elimination of useless deaths from accidents* whether in the water, 01 from ever y-day mishaps. The toll from this causes is just beginning to be realized, and it is to the credit cf the country's universities and college* that they are meeting the situation in the way i t demands. In the University of Kentucky, lor example, First Aid has been mad.3 an accredited course; classified as Hygeine 2 und,er the Department of Hygeine and Public Health ixi the College of Arts and Sciences. While academically listed in this college as a subject, it is elective for students in all colleges of this university. As a credit it counts two for v:r.i 1 u.it lull. as a course it is given (WO hours a week each semester for 18 weeks; being thus repeated to reach two separate groups during the IJniversit y session. The plan is not simply an experiment; it. is generally believed that the course is vital, practical and necessary, worthy of consul. erationin comparison with Other subjects.

ng the monl beautiful paintings ir college, !g that Of "Peace and lenty," a landscape by George in. This artist was bor.i in New. N. Y. in 1826 and died in 1894. lie studied In France and England, but most of his famous pictures were painted around New York and New Jersey. "His was an original—a distincly American mind in art." Among AM
I h mom famous paintings are: "The Mid fit Id Meadows." "Qrey Lowering D \." "Peace and Plenty", tfeadgara," and ' Delaware Water Gap." A num>er of his original paintings are In museums, but quite a few of them are in private homes. ' Peace and Plenty" is one of the most beautiful of the pictures in the student Building Lounge, it will be Found on the left of the Bra place, The painting is n landscape noted for its naturalness. After gazing at it but ;i moment we can easily Imagine ourselves lying in the cool grass under the shadows 0l the great elms. Nearby are two harvesters engaged in conversation probably resting before assuming their cutting of grain. In the d'Stance Wa can hear the creaking ■•!' a wagon in it moves slowly down the road under its heavy load. And then, there is the taping of the water, and an occasional "thump" as a big Old frog falls ill. It is late afternoon We know by the long shadows cast across the water. In our imagination we can hear the sweet notes of a bird as he calls to his mate. . . . In conclusion as to the power of the picture, I shall quote De Garmo winsiow, "i an convinced thai it should appeal to all who love natun, and nature is of coarse, universal In her appeal. The picture will always appal to men the world over!" The above article was written by a student of Mlsa Coulling's Freshman Drawing Class. In each issue of The Rotunda will appear a similiar article on famous paintings In S. T. C. Miss Coulling is bating this done in order that all students may know something of the famous paintings in our college.

HAVE YOU DONE YOUB PART TOWARD THE Y. W. C. A. BUDGET? When the Y. W. C. A. membership campaign was put on, and resulted in nearly every new girl here joining, all the Cabinet was delighted. Of course the nextthing on the program was the Finance Campaign. Perhaps the results of the membership drive had givi a the Cabinet toa hijrh hopes for the finance drive, anyway, they are greatly disappointed. The most disappointing thing was that the old girls didn't do any better than the new girls. Have you done your part'.' The purpose of the Y. W. ('. A. is t I betti r the moral and a standing of the school and to promote good fellowahinp between the students, they ean't carry I tl t'n ir work with.ait funds. No one person is asked to give much. I;' only everyone would do part we should have no trouble, we need not feel any extra strain on our finances at all. [f we would each say I will give up goi ig to the tea room, or some other place where we spend money foolishly, for one day each week and give that money to the V. W. C. A. they could easily carry on its work and we would hardly miss the money we had given. Perhaps, If we could feel it, it would do us more good. Have you ever notict d how much mor< are we I out of giving a gift when w( deny ourselves something in order to give it.

Think over the fart that the Y. W. C. A. does not make a demand for any cert lin amount, and only asks us to give whal we can. The pledges have amounted to just about half of the budget. Do know what that means? It means that a number of girls in school have not pledged at all and that I who have pledged, in many eases have given just a very snail they happened to have on hand at tlu n inute. Si Is 1 don ■ M part and more than their part and they will probably 1-el that they will have to do more unless , i who are slackers will come forward and In lp make up the deficiency.

What are the memories that crowd in upon them In their new life as teachers? Perhaps they mini the work, perhaps they miss the play hut certain it is that they miss something. When they are far away the) feel homesick for their school and Frlendi and they love to get hack, if only for a day.
