HOCKEY SEASON IS A SUCCESS

Seniors Have Record of An Undefeated Team V
On Thanksgiving morning at (.) o'clock Elizabeth Walker Brewer led the freshman hockey team on the athletic field to meet the sopohomore team led by Laura N. Smith. This game started off the annual interclass ihockey games. Although the sophomores had an additional year of training the freshmen team under the direction of Miss Her displayed as much skill and team work as the sophomores. The final whistle blew just as the sophomores made the deciding score of 3 to 2. The juniors and seniors, older in age, as well as older in experience, held the spectators spell bonud as the ball traveled up and down the field. The captain of the junior team, Mary Mann Baskerville spurred her team on while Emma Woods encouraged the seniors. The seniors proved to be more up-to-date in the game and won with a 3 to 1 score. The came the time for the sister classes to play the championship game. During the first half each team made one goal. Both teams went on the field the second half with an even greater determination to dash through the defense. Both teams fought hard and furiously but the seniors, proving too much for their sister class, made another goal, leaving the score 2 to 1. This was the final game for the seniors and they leave S. T. C. this year with a record of an undefeated team. On November 11 Farmvill S. T. C. and William and Mary hockey teams met in a fast and fiercely fought game. The first score was made by Moore, the captain of the William and Mary team. At the end of the first half the score stood 1 to 0. In the second half, Mary Frances Hatchett, the captain of the Blue and White team played especially well and supported Baskerville as she shot the ball beyond the William and Mary goal keeper. The final score was 1 to 1. Farmville was very proud of a tie score. This was an improvement over last year as she was defeated by a score of 9 to 4. The girls to represent the blue and white in this game were chosen by Miss Her, our coach, Mary Frances Hatchett, the captain and Marie Elder, the manager. They are as follows: A. Oliver—R. W.

toward making them the best S. T. C. has ever had. It is a known fact that if you are looking for Miss Her in the afternoons from 4 to 6, you can always find her either out on the athletic field coaching hockey, baseball, track, and archery, or in the gym instructing in volleyball or basketball. In other words, there are not many afternoons that Miss Her isn't helping someone accomplish the five points in athletics.

There are two great forces constantly struggling for supremacy in the lives of all of us. The success of each one of us depends largely upon which one of these forces gain the mastery. The direction in which we go is, in a great measure, due to the comparisons with whom we are associated. One's companions may lead either in the right or in the wrong direction, and, for this reason, it is very necessary to choose our associates wisely and carefully. In almost every case a young person's first offense is due to the influence of an evil companion. If a person has been so situated that he has become accustomed to being influenced by bad associates, he should make every effort to break away from these companions and their influence. It is true, nevertheless, that there is an equal possibility of being lifted up by good associates. Therefore, if we do choose our associates wisely, success in life will be much more assured.
ican Conference of WOmWn leaderof the Western Hemisphere be called in Washington at some time in the coming year. Another practical method suggested IS the extension of the 'Junior Year Abroad" movement by which college students may take their Junior college year in some I recognized foreign institution, returning to their own college for Senior year and graduation. Miss Lillian Minkel is a member of the graduating class of the Presbyterian Assembly's training school in Richmond. Miss Constance Rumbaugh returned from the European mission field, brought an earnest message to the Woman's Missionary Society of the Virginia Conference, M. E. church. South, at its annual meeting held in Danville in April. The engagement of Miss Virginia Carter Blasingame, of Ashland, to Roland R. Uptegraft, of Hart lord, Conn., has been announced. The wedding will take place in June.

We are always glad to publish any desirable article or communication that may be sent to us. We wish, howaver, to call attention to the fact that unsigned correspondence will not be published. 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.
The Soul of Good Sportsmanship "Sportsmanship is the badge of a nation's greatness and an emblem of its destiny," wholeheartedly buoyant about every undertaking, reaching towards the best, earnest in purpose, ever dependable, loyal to friends, generous and courteous to opponents, impartial in judgment, gracious in manner,—these virtues symbolize the soul of good sportsmanship. fi This being the athletic issue of "The Rotunda" something must be said about the value of athletics in training for sportsmanship. The in cessity for "grit", consideration for others, and appreciation for an opponent's efforts are instilled in the participants and the boosters of athletic sports. Remember even if you can not take part in athletic events, your sportsmanship will be developed by giving your hearty support and cooperation because the fundamental principle of athletics is sportsmanship.

In reading an essay the other day I came across this statement: "A man who never makes a mistake, will make nothing." Immediately there came tumbling into my mind thoughts of the various and sundry mistakes of my life— mistakes which at the time, seemed inexcusable blunders. I began to think whether or not these mistakes had helped me to "make something." Did they not point the way to something better next time Certainly I have avoided making again the same mistake, but I have also worried over them and thought many a time that my life would be much more efficient if I had only taken the other course in some instances, or perhaps left undone something that I did do. Now I realize that I should get rid of those regrets, should realize that mistakes are unavoidable to one who at least tries to take her part in the world, and what I am on account of what I have experienced. I can begin at last to see that even the bitterest experiences may be the highest i"—Zis tipping stones to real achievement.

Thursday afternoon, May 16, Miss Mary gave the orchestra and all of the teachers that board in college a picnic. They left the college in a bus at five o'clock and arrived ai Longwood in plenty of time to just "fool around" until supper was served, and oh boy, what a supper! Chicken— cake—pie—punch, and all was served out under the trees!! Everyone ate until it was just an impossible task to try to eat "just another pice.-." Of course, after all fashion, to be "etiquettable", there must be music; so to the accompaniment of a banjo, they sang many songs. As all good things go contrary to facts. It did end as the old bus rolled up High Street, but they called it a day, and oh what a day!

PI GAMMA MU VISITS HISTORICAL SPOTS Thursday morning, May 16,
the
members of Pi Gamma Mu left for a trip to historic points of interest in Virginia. Blanford Church in Petersburg was the first stop made. The poem written on the wall by the unknown Irish comedian was of especial interest. From here the party went on to the Crater battlefield. Tho story of the battle was told and many of the traditions explained and wondered over. The next step was perhaps the most interesting, for after a rather up and down ride over a corduroy road the "tourists" reached Lower Brandon. In spite of the dust the bumps and the hard knocks everyone agreed that Brandon was worth it all Cool, shady walks, big old trees, and quaint flower gardens gave an atmosphere truly reminiscent of hoop skirts and minuets. The big crystal chandelier with the wedding ring was an object of much discussion. The most impressive scene here was the long, green law, stretching out to the bank of the river. Many of the girls were ready to spend the rest of the day at Brandon, but several adventurous spirits decided to continue the trip. When the group reached Surry Courthouse, they were indeed glad they had continued for there it was that lunch was served and enjoyed. After lunch a visit was paid to Bacon's castle with its triple chimneys. One of the party immediately decided that all her chimneys were to be built like those in the ruins of the picturesque, iron-clad old church at Surry. We knew that the crowd was quite versatile, but we had to wait until we reached Scotland Ferry before we found that Kitty Bully was an experienced pilot. It was she who piloted the good ship Captain John Smith across the river to Jamestown. After a delightful hour spent in the scenes of earliest American history the party left for Williamsburg. Here they visited old Bruton Parish and fsW« thanks that they were not locked in the gallery as President Blair's William and Mary students wen. The reconstruction of old time Williamsburg was of much interest since both Henry Ford and John D. Rockfeller, Jr., had been recent visitors there. From these scenes on ancient history they turned their minds and steps to the relatively modern town of Richmond. Here they gave up the rODMUMM of Pocahontas for "The Trial of Mary Dugan." Leaving Richmond at ten the party returned to school full of the wonders, beauties and historical value of our own state—Virginia.
LOUISE VAUGHAN Louise—the best old sport in the school, and if anybody tries to argue the fact, we'll introduce them to her. We hear a lot of noise that makes us think that something must have happened—or will pretty soon. It is Louise conversing energetically, eyes sparkling, and grinning for dear life. We suppose that Louise does get serious sometimes, though, because she is one of the most dependable people we know. She never refuses to do anything, and does it thoroughly, so she was elected senior class treasurer, and president of the class council. It is in athletics that Louise ex.cels. She stars in nearly every phase —tennis, hockey, baseball, and volley ball. For the part that she has played in these varied activities and her allround leadership, Louise has been recognized by Alpha Kappa Gamma. That's Louise, the kind we call "old time," and the friend to whom we hate to say good-bye.
Unusual musical talent was exhibited by students of S. T. C. on Sal unlay morning at chapel, May 18. when the following enjoyable pro* gram was presented under the direction of Miss Helen THurner and Miss Elizabeth Purdom: Morris Dance Orchestra Shepherd's Dance Orehestia Londonderry An Orchestra Vocal solo—"The Moon Ship", sung and composed by Nancy Denit. Piano solo-"Student's Parade" played and written liv Elizabeth Taylor. Freshman Sony Class "Stars of the Summer Night." Piano BOIO ".March of the Regiment" plaeyd and written by Nancy Denit. Vocal solo—-"The Fairy Cow", sunp and composed by Elizabeth Taylor Orchestra Panorama The college orchestra under the direction of Miss l'urdom made an excellent showing in its spirited interpretation of those sparkling rhythmical folk dances which flavor of old England. Elizabeth Taylor and Nancy Denit are to be complimented on their original piano compositions and BOngl, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed. The songs were especially clever; each built on a melody of plaintive sweetness. As a group chorus the freshman class sang remarkably well, under the direction of Miss Helen Turner. The light, sweet tone quality produced was pleasantly noticeable, and the words of each Sony were heard very distinctly. It is evident that music at S. T. ('. has taken many steps during the last two years. Such a program as the one presented on Saturday comes as a surprise, as it indicates the trend of musical development in the college.

Volley ball for the year of '29 was a great success. About sixty girls came out and the daily attendance at practices was very good. Each afternoon from four to six o'clock everyone had a chance to practice. The first game was played by the freshmen and sophomores. The score was 2 to 0 in favor of the freshmen. The seniors defeated the juniors with the score of 2 to 1 in the second game. The championship game was played between the freshmen and seniors, with the seniors winning. In that game both colors were represented and many supporters for both teams put much pep and enthusiasm in the game. The captains of the team were: Frances Edwards for the freshmen, Louise Hardy sophomores, Laura M. Smith, junior and Martha Henderlite fox the seniors. The honorary varsity was: Sue Cross, Frances Edwards, Mary Frances Hatchett, Kathleen Hundley, Martha Henderlite, Easter Souders, Dorothy Thompson, Louise Vaughan. The head of volley ball was Claudia Fleming. This year the Green and White received ten points towards the cup so next year we want everyone to come out and work to put her colors on.

BASKETBALL RESUME The class basketball games went off with a bang this year under the leadership of four able captains and Miss Her, our coach. The freshmen, headed by Easter Souders, in the game with the sophomores under Laura N. Smith's leadership, showed much sportsmanship, but the green and white team came out on top with a score of 34 to 4. The juniors, led by Virginia Gurley, played a fast game against the seniors of whom Marguerite Erdman was captain. The juniors won by a score of 23 to 7. In the championship game the sophomore won by a margin of 5 over the juniors, the score being 16 to 11. Our varsity had fewer games this year due to the fact that suitable dates could not be arranged with Radford and for a return game with Harriscmburg. However, under the peppy leadership of Mary Frames Hatchett, the varsity won two out of the three games played. Fredericksburg (here) 19 P. 47 Harrisonburg (here) 30 F.
