This is to be on the Lyceum course and is to be one of the biggest attractions of the season. The cast has been working on it steadily for over two months and has worked to a splendid performance. This play is, as Ban iiV plays usually are, an arcial, fairy I ike play full of smiles and tears. Those who have seen Betty Bronson play in "A Kiss for Cinderella" have an idea of its charm, but they cannot realize how charming it is until they see Mabel Fitzpatrick as little Cinderella, and Louise McCormick as the big policeman. Since we want every girl to see this play it is on the Lyceum course and is to be given two nights. Seats can be reserved at White's Drug Store.

Friday afternoon finals in tennis, between Dr. Walrndey, faculty chanplon, and Dolly Reed, stuea nt champion, will be staged. Last fall a tennis tournament was held for our faculty members who desired to follow in the footsteps of Helen Wills. The contest was watched with interest by the members of the student body especially when it was learned that it was narrowed down to a fight between Dr. WalnHey and Mr. Coyner. And, when Dr. Walmsley won from Mr. Coyner, and was proclaimed the faculty tennis champion we learned that in the spring he was to play Dolly Reed, the student body champion.
DEBATES TO BE HELD The first of the annual debates between the classes of State Teachers College will be held on Thursday, May '$ in the Student Building auditorium. The debaters will try to solve the question, Resolved: "That the College Should Train Only Potential Leaders." There will be two debates, the first between the freshmen and the sophomores, and the second between the juniors and the seniors. The two winning teams will debate at a later date. The silver cup with Blue and White ribbons which sits on the mantle in the rotunda will be awarded the winning team. This team will have its name engraved on the CUP and the present ribbons wil lbs changed for the class colors.

Many of us noticed the impressing poster, "gee Them When They Were Young" stuck up in prominent places as we journeyed to and from classei M Mvia- mowing. On CUe night of April 18th we had the opportunity of seeing them- the members of the faculty as they might or might not have looked when they were young. The Debating Club gave Its annual Faculty Take Off which consisted of three acts, the first of which portrayed the faculty, in all of its dignity, attending a faculty meeting. The subject under discussion at the meeting was .is to whether o mot the girls at S. T. C. should be allowed to use rouge. During this discussion a very young lady, quite a flapper in fact, made her appearance and with much difficulty induced the members of the faculty to believe that she was Miss Carrie Tal iaferro. She told them of the magic power which she had found the water from a new spring at Lythia to possess and begged them to try it. The second act consisted of numerous
scenes showing the various members of the faculty as they made their ways toward the spring and as they returned with the effect of the magic power of the water very much in evidence. The third act showed memhe' R of th ■ faculty in their class rooms. SMO f these members had visited the spring and some had not and it is needless to say that one bad no trouble in distinguishing between these two types.

We are always glad to publish any deeirable article or communication that may be sent to us. We wish, however, to call attention to the fact that unsigned correspondence will not be published. The Rotunda invites letters of comment, criticism, and suggestions from its readers upon its manner of presenting and treating them. A letter, to receive consideration, must contain the name and address of the writer. These will not be published if the writer objects to the publication. All matters of business should be addressed to the Business Manager, and all other matter should come to the Editor-in-Chief. Complaints from subscribers as regards irregularities in the delivery of The Rotunda, will be appreciated.
A NE}\ BEGINNING The old leaves have turned and we find ourselves near the end of the school year with a clean page. It is a spur to our desire to serve to see our new officers coming in with bigger and better things before them. We feel that we can stand behind them with fresh energy and a new desire to help the live up to and put over their big aims. The girls who will hold the reins next year have all that those of this year have accomplished to begin with. They have a bright torch to carry and if they live up to their predecessors they must carry it high. It is the desire of the student body, having elected these new officers, to have them carry the torch just a little higher even than those who are handing it to them. We do not doubt that they have the ability to do it and we must realize that we must play our part. It is up to the citizens of the college to make the "Campus Servants," as Dr. Jarman calls them, feel that we really are backing them. The school session of 1928-"29 will be a record year for S. T. C. as far as ellicient officers are concerned. 0 HONOR SOCIETIES We have another honor society in school. What are honor societies lor? Recognition. They are noals toward which we strive. They are ideals which strengthen our efforts for achievement. In the last several years S. T. C. has acquired three adidtional honor societies. Pi Kappa Omega is the oldest. Pi Kappa Omega means "scholarship, leadership, service." Alpha Delta Rho comes next, "character, accomplishment, influence." Pi Gamma Mu follows, "learners of social science." Our newest honor society is Pi Kappa Delta, "the art of persuasion beautiful and just". Each of these three organizations recognize achievement in different fields. Recognition of service to our Alma Mater through debate and oratory is the purpose of Pi Kappa Delta. S. T. ('. is fortunate in having the Alpha Chapter of this fraternity which has chapters in about twenty-live states. S. T. C. was given the Alpha Chapter in preference to V. P. I. Do we not have high ideals to live up to in Pi Kappa Delta?

WHEN I WASTED TIME ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF A LESSON Very methodically I placed the necessary apparatus on the table—book, paper, pen. and ink. I drew the chair up to the table and carefuly, very carefully, straightened the scarf to the exact angle. Thinking things were in ship-shape, I listlessly sat down; but, no, too much light came through the window so I got up and lowered the shade. Surely no more studious environment could have been found than in my own room at that time, but to me nothing appeared to be correct. Nevertheless, pen in hand, I preceded to write. The topic was one in which I had no interest, one about which I did not care to learn, consequently concentration came hard. "A high taritV is not justifiable," I wrote laboriously. Where in the world was Jane going so dressed up? Lucky girl. She had no theme to write. Why, oh, why, did I have to be the one? I continued to glance idly out of the window, seeing no one in particular, indulging in a great wave of self-pity. Hm! It looked as if it might rain. I wondered how Lil would get home without an umbrella. A sudden thought struck me. I would take her an umbrella! With joyous abandon I rushed forth into the rain, heedless of deserted lesson and a prickly conscience. Needless to say my grade the following day was something I never mentioned.

VIRGINIA ELLIS From the time \ irginia entered S. T. C. she has been hel din the hearts of all who know her as a true, straightforward, faithful. lovable friend. She is one of the busiest people on campus, perhaps because she doesn't relinquish a task until it is complete. Few people hold before them ideals as high as Virginia, and rare are the people who live up to them as she does. We have found her Mm-, re, whatever the COSt, and we admire her for it. For her radian smiles at the approach of week-ends, there is a reason for Virginia lovej her jaunts to North Carolina. A member of Pi Kappa Omega for three years, her scholastic record is an enviable one. She is also a member of Alpha Delta Rho and Delta Sigma Chi. She served >n the Student Council as vi ^-president, and or. the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. S. T. C. is proud of Virginia. We are confident that she will bring honor to herself and her college as she makes her place after graduation, a true daughter of Alma Mater.
