SHEPHEARD WINS IN ORATORY
A-'.
Bentleg and Laing, Gragbeal and Pettigrew Win in Debate on Jury System If a fifty-fifty division is fair to all, the result of public speaking contests engaged in by S. T. C. last week should have been satisfactory to all, as S. T. C. won half of the ontosts. and her opponents won the other half. Bridgewater College and Harrisonburg State Teachers' College were each met in a duel debate. Nellie Talley and Ann Pleasants Hopkins went to Bridgewater and lost on the affirmative of the question that there should be a substitute for trial by jury. Catherine Bentley and Martha Ann Laing debated the negative of the same question here Thursday evening and gained a unanimous decision from Bridgewater. Frday evening Evelyn Graybeal and Virginia Pettigrew won a unanimous decision from Harrisonburg on the same question. Friday evening Gertrude Shepheard defeated Eilzaibeth Kaminsky, the Harrisonburg orator, at Harrisonburg, and Martha Ann Laing lost to the Harrisoniburg orator here. The subject for all four orations was "Woodrow Wilson, a Martyr to World Peace." Elizabeth Kaminsky is the champion orator of this province of Pi Kappa Delta. She has been at work in this field for seven years and has never been defeated. This is Miss Shepheard's first oration.
DR. DOUGLAS SPEAKS ON VISUAL EDUCATION Speaking from a
knowledge
of
various experiments in his own laboratory, as well as his experiences with educational films in the State of Wisconsin, Dr. Douglas, of the University of Wisconsin, enumerated the advantages of visual education in a lecture Wednesday, April 17, at chapel hour. Through the efforts of Miss Hen. rich, extension director of Citizenship Education at the University of Virginia, the educational film is being recognized and used in the State of Virginia. In introducing Dr. Douglas to the student body, Miss, Heinrich expressed the hope that visual education would be more extensively used in the future. In speaking of his classes at the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Douglas emphasized the fact that few of his pupils had ever seen a live starfish, since they were found to use Continued on page three

BLUE RIDGE INSPIRATION Happiness and abundant living are inevitably described in terms of height: heights of joy, peaks of inspiration, lofty ideals, and the like. High places arc u strength for us: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh my help." Blue Ridge, in the heart of our glorious mountains, is the peak of a college girl'i experience. Here, If ever, a girl finds the best that she has, and knows the joy of the expression. It is a time of revelation of the great forces of the world and the greater perhaps, of the single soul. Work, play, worship, friendship, all old, are new at Mine Ridge, as a new note la touched. The truest, the most beautiful, the finest of all we have known, in some strange way, finds itself a part of US in the ten days of complete joy. Whether it be the superb mountain tops blue from Lee Hall, the sincerity of a Christian heart. the lure of the mountain trail and the open road. the enveloping peace of quiet, the gaiety of song and chatter, the satisfaction of tennis and swimming, the midnighl hour by a dying tire when the best is left unsaid, or the questioning search of our own selves, there is here a spirit in and about and through it all, known only to Blue Ridge, but the epitome of happiness. Words are futile, again. The most or the least, we might say. is perhaps equally unsatisfactory. Spirit understands what mind cannot express. Blue Ridge is accessible to many. Take thought, and find your way to Blue Ridge in the land of the sky!

The Master said : seem to think about it in this way. "Thou dids't thy best—That is success." SERVICE A PRIVILEGE It is no longer deemed adequate that a teacher be proficient in subject matter only. Every department in the institution lends its assistance to the department of education in inspiring young teachers with the loftiest ideals of what a true teacher should be and what sort of service should be given to the state. If we lived in the institution and did not imbibe the spirit of college ours would be a limited service. "School Spirit," a seemingly hackneyed phrase, at times is the only one which can and does express our feeling toward alma mater. Grown old, with use, we seldom, if ever, think of its real significance. "School Spirit" in our institution bears a meaning peculiarly singular to our school. It has meant, from the beginning, a spirit of friendliness, of service, of loyalty and devotion among faculty, students, the administration and the employees of the college; an interest in people reaching a point where our willlingness to serve outweighs our obligation; a translation of duty into privileges; a desire to make life fairer, finer and happier. It is our privilege to so imbibe this spirit which permeates our campus, that our lives and the lives of those we reach as teachers will be better for our having lived here, thus rendering the highest possible service as future citizens of the state of Virginia.

They are continually devising ways of cutting out chapel and of keeping from having a seat assigned. This is a very had attitude that the girls take. It is this attitude of some few of the girls that makes it necessary to have strict regulations for chapel attendance.
The girls get their morning mail on the way to chapel which mars the sacrednoss of the occasion. In the hands of a great many students are new letters, over which we hear a continual chatter, and then a loud laugh. The pianist strikes a chord to remind them where they are. This impresses only a few. and others turn a deaf ear to the signal. The pianist begins to play the Alma Mater. The students rise automatically with a few exceptions. A few of the girls remain in their seats M if they were glued there. Some read dime novels, others peruse their most interesting letters. What is the matter with these individuals? Haven't they any reaped for the school and its faculty? Dr. Jarnian rises to read a selection from the Bible. Although his voice is very clear and carries well, he is very seldom heard in the back of the auditorium. It seems as if courtesy does not exist at all among the students. And so we find the chapel problem to be the most difficult problem to handle on the campus. Is it the fault of the student government or does the responsibility lie upon us as individuals? I think we can easily say that
SUNRISE ON THE LAKE The glooms of the forest are woven. Into Intricate shadows and shades, And the somber pine-trees are cloven Into myriads of dark, dusky glades; And Virginal twilights are hidden In gray closets of lonely desire. Where loveis of solitude, bidden, Come to dream, and to hope, and aspire. On the verge of the lake, in long lines. Stand drab cat-tails, and dull, broken reeds; And bright berries gleam forth from the vines Like clusters id' red coral beads. Then a delicate, bluish-gray mist Mounts to flaceulent clouds, that lie At the gates of the dawn, and are kissed By the primrose suffusing the sky. Now gold with the primrose is blending; I watch the suft pink fade away— The pale night is rapidly ending To make place for the radiant day. A. S. II. '82
ON HAVING CURLY HAIR When I was a child small enough o believe in fairies, I often wished that one would suddenly spring "out of the nowhere into the here" and say to me. "My little girl, you may have one wish conic true." Do you think I would wish for a million dollars'.' Would you? Well, I liked the shining coins; I loved the pretty dolls and pink dresses they would buy. but I knew even then that money could not buy the thing I wanted most—curly hair. Vou see. I had talked it over with mother, and she had said that you could not buy curly hair with a million dollars. And 10 I concluded that some people are just born lucky. I wasn't.

BEING LARGE I have an affliction- a terrible affliction. I am big. Do you realize the full import of that awful statement? It has a deep and terrible meaning-. I am going to try to tell you just what it is to be large, so that you may thank your lucky stars you are small. Bigness excludes romance from any situation. Can you imagine a girl five feet, nine inches and weighing a hundred and seventy pounds tripping lightly down a flight of steps to meet someone? If I tried it 1 would probably stumble and fall and look utterly awkward. If I dance and jump around, everyone looks at me as if I were crazy. And all because I am a little, or rather, a good deal larger than somebody else. I must always be stately and dignified, or I look absolutely silly. I can never express my feelings properly. If I do, I look like an elephant trying to execute the "shag." Also I am continually being teased. I am always hearing such remarks as "Watch out! that chair doesn't hold but three hundred pounds," or "Help! Eleanor stepped on my toe." As if I weighed a ton. There are various other implic tions. If I go anywhere in a crowded car, I am always the one to be sat upon. And I am sure I couldn't be any heavier than some of the girls that sit on me. Also so much is expected of one. Simply because I am big and look old enough to be able to grasp a little konwledge, I am expected to write poetry and behave like a lunatic (if you understand what I mean). Ever lince I was very young (I don't think I've ever been small) I have always had to act about four years older than I really was. I'm getting tired of it. Do you suppose it would do me any good to quatr the contents of that little bottle that says "Drink Me'.'" It had some effect on one person. Perhaps it would work in my case. I think I'll try Wait! before I do it, let me tell one more of my many troubles. Clothes! .Yen/ can I find a dress to fit me. I become enraged, pull myself to pieces, use bad words—all in vain.

The Literary Society of the Training School presented a very interesting program Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. The president, Mary Diehl, called the meeting to order, and after a little preliminary business, turned the program over to Elizabeth Burger. Poets of different sections of America were discussed, and several selections by each were read. The most attractive number on the program was a reading by a delightful darkey. Later, we were told it was Maitba Scott Watkins. The last number on the program was a poem, "Teachers in Parade," composed by Mary Diehl.

Emma's four years at Farmville have been four years of service and devotion to her alma mater. Whatever she undertakes she does it well. In her estimation, anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. As an outstanding leader in athletics, she is one of the three girls who have won a blazer. She has also done outstanding work on the student council, and in other phases of college life. To sum up all of her characteristics in one adjective, it would be "dependable." When she tells you that she will do something for you it is as good as done then. Once a friend, always a friend. The senior class of 1930 will have a hard time finding anyone capable of filling Emma's place, but wherever she goes she will have our best wishes and love.
