On the afternoon and evening of Friday, November 2, the auditorium of S. T. C. held an unsually enthusiastic and eager audience for the two performances of the Boston Woman's Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Madame Ethel Leginska. The orchestra, an organization of about fifty pieces gave an admirable performance at each appearance. Under the persuasive baton of Madame Leginska it showed splendid quality of tone and worked technical finish. Madame Leginska showed herself the artist in the vitality and forceful appeal of her conducting. She achieved exquisite effects of shading during the reading of the scores. Leginska conducted the following delightful program at the afternoon performance: 1. Overture to Oberon Weber A fairy overture of ethereal lightness in which Leginska brought out the most delicate tone shadings. 2. Concerto for violin an dorchestra Bruch Prelude, Andante, Finale lima Seydell This very beautiful concert of three movements enabled Miss Seydell, concert master of the orchestra to exhibit her splendid technique, and rich tone. 3. "Dance of the Birds" and "Dance of the Clowns" RimskyKorsakoff from the opera, "The Snow Maiden" Both of these compositions were rather oriental and unreal in character, but were given a very colorful rendition. 4.

■ HERBERT HOOVER—OUR PRESIDENTELECT The country has shown its nationwide approval of Herbert Clark Hoover for President, giving him 436 electoral votes. His varied public experience has shown him an expert in translating sound, beneficient policy into wise, effective action. The Hoover head is fitted for the Presidency; the people looked deeper and saw that they wanted the Hoover heart in the White House. Hoover is a man of a broad realistic vision, sound judgment, natural creativeness and ready geniality— sympathetic, modest, but warm and responsive. His work has shown him to be a characteristic humanitarian, and his aim is social betterment. He is a "for-you" man, a real builder, not being satisfied until he has turned his own enjoyment into nation-wide usefulness.
WILLIAM AND MARY-S. T. C. VARSITY HOCKEY GAME SCHEDULED MONDAY Farmville S. T. C. will have a chance to stage a comeback against William and Mary on Monday when the Indian team journeys to Farmville for a hockey game. Last year, the Farmville varsity fought William and Mary in Williamsburg. Although S. T. C. was defeated, she held William and Mary to a score of 9—4. The Williamsburg team, being more experienced, was able to win the game from the Farmville girls who went to Williams-
burg with only two week's practice. This year, however, S. T. C. is looking for better results. Under the leadership of Captain Hatchett and the coaching of Miss Her the squad has been practicing every afternoon for the past four weeks and has developed into a fast team. The game will be called at 4 p. m., Monday. Every member of the student body is expected to be on the athletic field to cheer the S. T. C. on to victory! i
one of the most unique and varied programs ever presented in the school made a spectacular entrance into the gym on Saturday night. Tumbling, dancing, jumping or walking on the stage, the performers went gaily about their task of entertaining a delighted audience. Presenting effective combinations of colors in the various stunts of the rings, as well as clever ararngements of stunts, the circus was pronounced a stupendous success. Margaret Leonard, ringmaster for the occasion, ably introduced the comical participants into the ring. Wild animals, elevei clowiu, Mother Goose characters and human statues vied with one another for the entertainment of the audience. "The Old Family Toothbrush" created an atmosphere of gym-wide hilarity. A
moved from the soil of Africa, lent its presence to the circus. An interpretation of "The Argentine Tango" was rendered for the enlightenment of the audience. French Royalty was also present, even though in the abstract, while "Saturday Night at Tuggles Theatre" was decidedly more American in tone. Because of their unusual interpretation of "The Highwayman," the Junior Class was awarded the prize for the best stunt presented. The ribbon of moonlight and the horse of the highwayman, two outstanding features, were vividly portrayed for the audience. As an additional feature of the evening's entertainment, Mabel Fitzpatrick, the Queen of the Circus, made her appearance in the grand finale.

VIRGINIA IS REPUBLICAN Overwhelming Electoral Vote; Hoover m, Smith .95 Herbert Hoover is to be the 31st President of the United States. At one-fifteen this morning the students of Leland Stanford University, located at Palo Alto, California, the home of Mr. Hoover, turned out in mass, led by Sousa's band, and officially broke the news to Mr. Hoover of his land-slide victory. The boys cheered and sang to the 31st President of
the Uhii.'.l States. This election has been most unusual. Many Southern States broke away from traditional customs and gave their votes to the Republican candidate. The states for Smith are eight in number: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana. Missippi, South Carolina, Minnesota and Michigan. Virginia went Republican with a 20,000 majority. Mr. Hoover received 1.'56 electoral votes; Mr. Smith it").
Senior Class Has Largest PetCent Taken in History Aviator Holding World Record of College Dies in Arizona SON OF DR. GRAINGER Sunday HIGHLY HONORED The Virginian staff is pleased with The monoplane "Yankee Doodle," holder of two trans-continental records, caught in a blinding rain and fog in the Bradshaw Mountains Sunday night, struck against the side of a wall in Crook Canyon, twenty-three miles south of Prescott, Arizona, and sent Captain C. B. D. Collyer, pilot, and Harry Tucker, passenger-owner to their death. The plane was en route from Los Angeles on a non-stop flight. The open parachutes of the two men indicated that they had realized their danger too late. Bits of airplane wreckage were scattered for a quarter of a mile, the plane being absolutely demolished. They had left Roosevelt Field on Long Island, N. Y., on October 24 and landed in Los Angeles the following day thus establishing a new record for a cross-continent flight last June. At the time of the accident they were returning to New York because of urgent business. Capt. Collyer had come into prominence in flying circles when he and John Henry Mears set a new record for a flight around the world. He was president of the Aviatio^i Service Corporation of New York and had already gained recognition in world (Continued on Page Two)

Of the three regional scholarships given by the Yale Alumni Association for the South Atlantic, South Central and South Western States, the one for the South Atlantic States in the Art School at Yale University, has been awarded David Grainger, son of Dr. James M. Grainger, head of the English department at this school. Mr. Grainger is a young man of unusual ability. He graduated from Farmville High School in 1926, where he was an outstanding pupil in art and handwork as well as in athletics. After graduating, he entered Loomis Institute, Windsor, Connecticut. There he was curator of the studio Of Mrs. Hatcheldcr, wife of the Headmaster, who is | former sculptor. Mr. Grainger has taken art as his special field of study and expects to become a sculptor. He is now in the Art School at Yale. This is quite a compliment, because as a usual thing freshmen are not admitted to the Art School. The actual financial value of the scholarship is $750 for the fn shman year and $500 each succeeding year provided an average of above seventyfive per cent is attained.
STUDENTS ENJOY NEGRO SPIRITUALS Thursday morning in chapel, the students of S. T. C. were pleasantly surprised when Dr. Jarman announced that a group of young colored men had consented to sing. Three numbers, all of which were negro hymns were sung. Judging from the enthusiastic applause, each selection was enjoyed by the student body and the faculty. The young men are students of the Virginia Theological Seminary at Lynchburg. They are trying to work their way through college. Thursday night, they gave a performance at the Baptist Church, to which an admission fee was charged; this money was given to them to help pay their expenses. I

aviation. Capt. Collyer was a native of Farmville, and a nephew of Miss Smithy, who is at the head of the Spanish department in our college. He received his early education in the Training School, later attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg. He had made definite plans to attend the Va.-V. P. I. football game at Blacksburg next Saturday. The entire college extends their deepest sympathy to Miss Smithy in the loss of her nephew.
HOOP-ROLLING NOT ONLY POPULAR AT WELLESLEY Wellesley's hoop-rolling seems to be popular in other colleges too. As a grand finale of the Freshmen hazing at Dartmouth, a certain group of class of '32 on the day of the first football game were attired in blue and white dresses and commanded to roll hoops through the town and around the gridiron. The stunt was known as "whooping it up"—The Sweet Briar News.

POETRY Words, golden webs of song Weaving a gypsy magic, Singing of life and love. Patterns of fanciful dream-worlds Threaded with silver moonlight, Swiftly, softly, swan-like, Soothing, caressing the heart. M. G. Would I could see behind those eyes, Like crystals veiled by mists of gray; Would I could snatch that veil away, And know the truth from smiling lies.
ON THE NIGHT SHE HAS THE DATE You know the feeling you have when your rival has the date with a certain person—a person you have grown very "used to". You declare much louder and oftener than is necessary that you don't really care at all, but somehow, you still feel uneasy. Every fifteen or twenty minutes you notice the time and think, "They are probably getting a drink now . . . they are riding on his favorite road now." You won't let yourself wonder if he's telling her what he told you two nights ago. Finally after you have spent a perfectly miserable night trying to be interested in bridge or gossip, with your mind always wandering to the subject you swear interests you less than any other, you think, "Well, he's probably leaving now," and go home yourself. What more extravagant misery is there ? F. W.
HOOK REVIEW 'THE BATTLE OF THE HORIZONS" (—Sylvia Thompson. Published by Little, Brown & Co., 1928) In "The Hounds of Spring" Sylvia Thompson portrayed the tragic conflicts of the war and their disastrous results on the soul of a sheltered girl, shattering all her illusions and embittering her heart. In the same realistic manner she reveals in her new novel "The Battle of the Horizons" of a sheltered American girl with everything that mony can buy for her, and of an aristocratic Englishman of moderate means. Conflicts and misunderstandings arise, and through the hard circumt stances which she has to endure, Athene, the wealthy American begins to b.'oaden her horizon to the realities of life, gaining strength and understanding which restore domestic tran(|uility after the adversity which has all but wrecked the lives of the two. Though rather slow and drawn out in some parts, the action of the novel as a whole moves swiftly to a close. completing splendid characterizations.
Y. W. C. A. GIVES PARTY FOR FRESHMEN
COTILLION CLUB DANCE, SATURADY,NOV.9
The Y. W. C. A. entertainment Wednesday afternoon, October 31, in the Student Building Lounge at its first freshman party. Program consisted of a reading by Sammy Scott, a ghost story by Henrietta Cornwall and a number of Hallowe'en contests in which prizes were awarded. The lounge was attractively decorated with pumpkins, witches and cats. After the program a delicious ice course was served.
The Cotillion Club annual fall dance will be held on Saturday, November 10th. Many alumnae and visitors are expected for the occasion. The Washington and Lee orchestra has been secured for the dance, and will also play for the Lotus Club dance which will be held on Friday night, November 9th.
Y. W. CABINET GOES ON PICNIC On Thursday morning, October 1, the members of the Y. W. Cabinet enjoyed an early morning breakfast at the meadows. Arriving just in time to watch the sun-rise, the girls held their usual Thursday morning watch out in the open. After a delightful breakfast of hamburger, rolls, weinies and coffee the girls returned to college in time for their eight o'clock classes.
ENGLISH CLUB OF HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINS Wednesday night was Hallowe'en night indeed when the English Club of the College High School entertained at a masquerade party in the kindergarten room of the Training School. All the proverbial Halowe'en characters were present—witches, ghosts, black cats, pirates, clowns, and masked figures. Several delightful solo dances were given, and a chorus of six "high-steppers" rendered two popular selections, which would have done credit to Broadway. Then black cats, witches, Black Beard and his pirates, and masked ladies joined in the dance. In the midst of the fun a shot came through the window, and the shrieks of the ladies and yells of the pirates added to the general hilarity. "Bobbing" f-.pples, fortune-telling, and a grand march were other important parks of the fun. The refreshments, of course in Hallowe'en colors, were a very important item of the good time enjoyed by students and student-teachers.
DE-HO-EC CLUB REORGANIZES The first regular meeting of the Pe-Ho-Ec Club was held on Wednesday, October 31. The following officers were elected for the year: Ethel Fisher President Myra Reese Vice-President Evelyn Simpson Sec.-Treas. The members have shown marked enthusiasm and plans are being made for a bazaar near Thanksgiving. On last Thursday about thirteen of the girls, with Miss Tupper as a guest, hiked to "Longwood" and had an exceedingly good time roasting "weinies" and marshmallows.

ALUMNAE NEWS Mrs. William Cabell Flournoy (Birdie Boyd), former president of the Virginia division of the U. D. C. and present historian, was the principal speaker at the unveiling of the marker erected by the Salem and Roanoke Chapter of the U. D. C. to the memory of Robert E. Lee. It stands on a plot of land adjoining the Lee Highway about three miles west of Salem. Mrs. Flournoy is the mother of Professor Fitzgerald Flournoy, who was the S. T. C. Founder's Day speaker last March. On October 27, Miss Nora Mae Holmes, of South Hill, became the bride of Hunter Newbill Copley, of Suffolk. On October 20, Miss Florine Rae Young and William Orlando Burham, both of Lynchburg, were married at the home of the bride's parents. They will make their home at 412 Morrison street. Another autumn wedding was that of Miss Doris Cochran of Emporia, and Charles Dolese Klotz, of Winnetka, 111. The marriage took place in Richmond, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. R. P. Eubank. After the ceremony the bride and groom left for an extended tour to Land-O-Lakes, Wisconsin, and California.
The hall next to the auditorium is getting almost as popular as the post office. What is this attraction that causes the girls to gaze skyward with open mouths and awed expression? Pictures—and still more pictures,— an art gallery has sprung up, or rather been hung up over night. Fifty pictures of historical spots in Virginia adorn the walls. The girls move from one to another, up one side of the hall and down the other, into the classrooms and up the steps. Occasionally someone brgfcks the silence—if the halls could be called silent—with such exclamations as, "Aren't they pretty!" "Oh, I've been there!" Many girls have visited these historical places and have come away with the feeling that Wordsworth had when he said, "Ah, then, if mine had been the painter's hand to express what then I saw." Now they have these pictures to look at from day to day, so that they may be forever stamped upon their memory.
