Held at Had ford
The Cunningham Literary Society held a very impressive candle light installation service Wednesday night, February 18. The old and new tn^mhers of the society, dressed in white, formed a circle and carried candles throughout the service. Emily Carter, the president, told the history of the literary societies in our school. The first two, the Cunningham and the Argus, were formed in 1908. The Athenian and Pierian were formed later, which were followed by the formation of the Jefferson and Ruffner in 1910. These latter two were at first debating societies. All of the literary societies at this time had the closed system which was not very successful as many girls of literary talents did not receive bids. The six < leties then vied working together in two groups and in 1927 reorganized into two large societies. These two ■ocietlei, the Cunningham and the Ruffner named after the first two presidents of this school, are the two societies that we have now. The purpose of the literary societies is "To offer an opportunity for self repression," which is carried out by individual group work within each s >ciety. The literary magazine is the big project of both societies. After the new members received a lighted candle and a charge from the president, the old members pinned the ribbons on them. Each member —" ■ - 2&^'***C&*z feell that this will be a successful year in the Cunningham Literary Society.

Madame Regina CasadesUS attracted special attention due to the exquisite clarity and smoothness of her harpsichord playing. The quinton, upon which Marius (asadesus played, impressed all with the (dear sweetness and delicacy of its tone. M. Henri CasadeSUS, founder of the society, performed skillfully on the violin d'amour which closely resemble! thi presentday viola in size and tone quality. One could help but feel the charm of this old music when rendered by musicians who understood the spirit Of it themselves. The freshness, the delicate rythmn, the spontaniety and grace of each number fascinated all who were present.

Vision The Washington <>t' today in the little world of science, literature and art are making contributions, each in his own way, toward the betterment 0 fthe world in which we all live together. Each Washington feels it his duty and privilege to broaden the fields of his work and to make the rules governing the control of these new fields as democratic as possible so that we, the people, may be privileged to use the resources freely. There are Washin^tona in our little college world, too, who are working to make our government more democratic. These girls are our representatives and, as such, have the common good of the people at heart in every matter they arc called up to judge. By their unceasing efforts and faith in us, our rules are far more democratic, and we have more privileges than did our big sisters who lived in our college yesterday. With the work of the student councils of yesterday ,ours of today, and that we expect of those of tomorrow, we shall look for the day to conic soon when our college shall have an ideal government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."
Challenge One could have visions—visions which will penetrate the past, grasp the present, and pierce the future; but one"s visions can not end here. They must be such an integral part of US that they tan find their way into our innermost heart. Did you know that it is our inner heart which is our best friend, yet which is also our (Iii<ctor? It is divided into chambers. In one we And Truth; in another we find Love: Loyalty is found in a third, and in the fourth and smallest, is found the rare combination of the contents of the other three chambers. This indefinable character represents our attitudes .our limitations and our radiations. And the best thing about this tiny, innermost chamber, is that it can grow If the proper stimulus is given. The power lies with you. Use it and watch the effect which will surely show upon the face of your friend, upon Joan's and upon your own. Your reward is here waiting for you. Will you have it?

Rainbows What is it about that strip of cloth and color, which nations call their flag, that chokes us, pierces us with poignant pride and tenderness and which overwhelms us with an urgent desire to serve it—and which may infuriate us to the extent of fighting all men, or encourage us to extend our hand to the world in brotherhood? Of course, to ships passing at sea, it is a cloth bearing "colors and devices to indicate nationality" and it is the symbolic representation of one nation to another; but to us—just people—who see our colors on the wind and who often reach to them without a conscious thought of what they stand for, what is it that for one— two—three ecstatic moment frees our souls from our bodies? Some of us see in those waving symbols soldiers marching, with faces strained, yet ashine with the struggle of the sacrifice of home, youth and life. Some, perhaps, see mothers—walking the floor at night—praying, hoping—yet fearing for word of a son probably lost at sea; or a father, with courageously quiet hands, placing another kind of flag—one with a gold star on it—in a window; who, groping for some meagre consolation, murmurs to himself, "For his country—his country and his flag." Some see wide green coutnry-sides, bespeaking of peace and happiness. Some see—just the flag. Do people of all nations se those same things? Warm, vivid Spain, the splendor of he* past all about her, with her red and yellow share of the rainbow— hurt France, slowly healing, still holding her flag above her wounds—what vital part of life do they hide in the folds of their banners? Over the western horizon there bends another raibow. It is blended with the western sky at the time of day when everything save beauty ceases to be, and when all life pauses to wait on that beauty. Do we see our own red, white and blue, or do we see the sunset? At sunrise, do we see— "—by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?"— or is it a part of the dawn? The people of the nations—what do they seen in their flags ?
but formulating his own—thus he was conservative and at the same time original; he was courageous and dynamic in all his acts, possessing the tenacity of purpose through which his achievements were accomplished. However, the one outstanding chara< " tristic which mad him what he was. was his universality of spirit. This has been the one common trait of all gi•<sal leaders. We find it in such men as Roosevelt and Wilson. This it is that taught him gratness in the lesser things and which will make men who possess it like Washington.

GUESS WHO Who is one of the very jolliest juniors? She can wear her roommate's clothes and not even feel self-conscious. Never does she meet us without a grin and some clever quip or witty remark to stimulate our sense of humor—oh, yes. She sells good sandwiches. Who is one who does the most aesthetic acrobatics on the basketball courts? A good scout who is a sporting in character as in dress. To her, then, who is playing the game, plays it fair. Who is the one who sings to us? makes the piano talk for us? thrills us with her dramatic exhibitions and wins us over with her generous smile? Ity r magnetic personality leaches out and holds us with its charm. Who is the one whose serious smile invites our confidences—not merely because there must be someone but because we know instinctively that she will understand and sympathize. The one we couldn't do without?
When the legislature of Virginia was considering establishing a teacher training school, certain influential citizens of Farmville offered the pi"pcrty of the Farmville Female College to the State if the Normal was located here. The State accepted the offer and located the first State Female Normal School at Farmville in 1884. This was just nine year- after the establishment of the George Pet body College for teachers at Nashville, the first teacher training college in the South. The campus lay between High street and the street behind the kitchen and the two walks nearest the main entrance. This was enclosed by a fence. A three story building was within this enclosure but there was no training school. Soon after the Normal was established a small frame building was erected back of the main building to be used as a training school. The school has grown most rapidly during the past twenty-seven years and we feel sure some of the first students of this school would have a hard time realizing this was ever as t bey first knew it.
APPRECIATION Little sisters, we are only two years removed from the freshmen and so we feel honored to lie the big sisters of a class of such calibre as you. We have watched you with pride in our hearts as you have become initiated into the various phases of our college life, and have become a part of us. We have been watching to strengthen your hands if you faltered. But you leave us assured as to our class tradit ion and to the spirit of Alma Mater! Thus, we thrill to the colors Red and White for the sake of the big sisters of our freshman year and now for your sake.

VARSITY GOING TO FREDERICKSBURG
One of those momentous questions that come once in the life of men and of nations faced the Debate Club on Wednesday, February 13, when it was called to decide whether St. Valentine's Day should be made a national holiday. Sparkling wit, profound statesmanship, and tender sentiment were so entwined in the sitxy minutes of argument that the club rocked with laughter and again sobbed in sympathy with the forlorn women whose Valentine failed. The hostilities were opened by Grigsby Peck, who invoked the muses, the graces and the disgraces, and hurled at the judges eight of the thirteen reasons why the calendar should recognise affairs of the heart. Her climax was reached when she made the startling discovery that one day was sadly needed in which timid maiden would be permitted to "make advances." Rebekah Liebman countered with the assertion that love-making was a necessity of everyday life and should not be relegated to one short winter day, and brought forth floods of tears by her description of the wan old-maid teacher with nothing to do on a holiday except watch the happiness of others. Louise Hilton marshalled the remaining five affirmative arguments laying most stress on the poor fellow who could not buy his Valentine during the long banking hours and must have one day set aside in which to make or buy his heart's expression. The tide of sentiment was clearly running in favor of two speakers as opposed to one, and of one more holiday between Lincoln and Washington, when Margaret Hubbard delved into the mystic pages of history and discovered that "The Day" was a Christian metamorphosis of the Roman Lupercalia (Romulus' and Remus' pel Wolf) and that St. Valentine was only a wolf in sentimental clothing. She also spoke of the dire results of letting the 100 per cent American know that a holiday was dedicated to a "furriner." At the end of this speech the vast audience held its breath in awful suspense while the five judges, chosen from those who knew most of the ways of a man with a maid, tried to make up their minds and their faces. Three of them voted to continue the classes on February 14, doubtless in sympathy with the poor boy with more
