COLORFUL BANQUET IS HELD AT COLLEGE

THANKSGIVING

As Spent on "The Hill" Thanksgiving Day dawned bright

and dear—just warm enough to be pleasant and cold enough to be Thanksgiving. Breakfast—for those energetic ones who chose to leave a nice warm bed at so early an hour —was served at eight. At ten the Thanksgiving service was held in the prayer hall. Miss Ilinkel ren- dered a very lovely and appropriate solo. Mr. Quillian was the speaker for the day. After a brief survey of the history of Thanksgiving, he recalled to our minds the many bless- ings that we as a nation have re- ceived. Then he told us of the blessings of a Christian College, a Christian home, Christian associates. Making Thanksgiving a more per- sonal matter, Mr. Quillian remind- ed us of health and strength and of the wonderful, beautiful joy of liv- ing—optimism, that sunshine in our shadowed lives, is one of our great-

blessings. At one o'clock lunch was served

on the back campus. And out-of-doo; type of luncheon it was, with the wind to add zest to it and the sun to keep us warm. The "events of the day" committee was in charge of the luncheon.

Throughout the day there was an undercurent of expectancy. A rush- ing to and fro of the decorating .ommittee and the Sophomore Class. A mysterious hint or two of strange "goings on" in the dining room. Here was a girl with a paper in hand frantically striving to memorize something. For what? That—as the novelist says—was to be seen later. Here was another girl with several China dolls in her hand. Had the dear Soph gone back to her childhood days? A great swish of leaves and a hurrying in the halls, and an armload of flowers, leaves, and fruit, beneath which one could faintly discern the figure of a girl, passed by. About four-thirty the mystery grew. A rushing of fig- ures, a slamming of doors, a faint odor of powder and perfume, a glimpse of evening-dressed girls. Ah! and the explanation, a banquet, of course. A Thanksgiving ban- quet! But all these things were only fore-runners. Not until the dining hall doors were opened and the full glory of candles, long ta- llies, flowers, fruit, tennis courts, swimming pools, and quadrangles, burst upon the sight, could one im- agine what ii was really like.

And the dinner! Turn to the "Eve of St. Agnes" and read of the delectable dainties in Madelaine's Closet. Then you can begin to com- prehend—Turkey, of course, and oyster dressing, grapefruit, rolls, jelly, celery, oranges, pistachio salad

cream, cake, demi tasse, the spices nf Arabia, the dainties from Samarcand and Lebanon!!

And what of .the toasts? .Miss Catherine Chastain, spirit of the Centennial, was the dainty least- misi ress— "On this same old hill of learning. Where our 'grandma's knitted mit-

. tens, i Played upon the parlor spinet, Sang the old songs ever fragrant With the Rosemary,—remembrance, Stands our college still undaunted, Made renowned by loyal daughters, Trained in heart and mind as lead-

ers." The Spirit of 1831-1881 was

toasted by Miss Lelia Green, The Home-Maker of Today. Memories of your childhood; "Spirit saintly in your quaintness I'm- your purity allures me, Guides me in my upward striving, So I honor you and love you Let us toast with antique spirit Of our old school's cradle days." Miss Grace Landrum, quaintly

dressed as an old fashioned Miss, responded— "Yet, my dainty little housewife, Toward one common goal we're

striving Pushing upward—ever upward Hearts entwined and both hearts

beating To the tune of this Centennial Yours it is to carry forward Loving spirit of home-making, To the spirit of 1881-1931, Miss Nell Cole, Miss Rosalind Wingard, the professional woman of today, pro- posed a toast,

."You're a spirit void of progress. "id. you've moulded fates You have held your ideals lofty With a courage true—"

, and she responded— "Your career may it be fruitful Happiness, your portion, too, Thank you kindly for your tribute My best love I offer you."

i The final toast was made by Miss , Evelyn Copeland to the presiding 1 erenius of the last . decade — Mr. Thompson.

(continued on page 2).

Friday evening, November 21, the Dramatic Club, directed by Miss Mildred Singer, presented the three one-act plays "Modern Courtship," "Just Women," and "Neighbors." All of the plays were of widely dif- ferent types, featuring a great var- iety of characters.

"Just Women," a comedy of the early Victorian Age by Colin Clem- ent, showed that even in the time of bustles and hoop-skirts women loved to gossip. The characters were Mrs. Warren, played by Miss Kath- erine Rogers; Mrs. Pickering, Miss Mary Pendergrass; Mrs. Lawty, Miss Vonice Rich; Mrs. Romney, Miss Mary Ellen Aycock; Betty, Mis? Matilee Dunn; Lady Bloshire, Miss Helen Hamilton; Clara, the maid, Miss Sara Clyde Hutchins. The ac- tion took place in Mrs. Warren's living room in Northampton, Eng- land. The slightly deaf Mrs. War- ren, eagerly awaiting the return of her daughter from London, sat plac- idly by while her three friends be- moaned the fate that must have -surely befallen the frivolous Betty, in the wicked city. But when they learned that Betty was to marry the son of Lady Bloshire, their tone

! changed from condemnation to praise. The old-fashioned costumes, amusing conversations and humor- ous portrayal of the characters all contributed to make the play ex- tremely delightful and entertaining.

"Modern Courtship" by Rowland Bottomley, presented Miss Neva Caudle and Miss Mary Lovejoy as He and She. The time was the present, the scene a garden, where She was first met, wooed, and won. The story, conveyed in one word speeches, gave a fascinating and humorous picture of the boy and girl of today. Miss Caudle was very- convincing as the ardent modern youth, persistent in his courtship of the coyly elusive, yet experienced modern maiden, impersonated charm- ingly by Miss Lovejoy.

"Neighbors," a rural comedy by Zona Gale, showed how in time of

strifes, neighbors, poor though they may be, stick together and in so doing derive satisfaction and hap- piness for themselves. The follow- ing characters were featured: Grand- ma, by Miss Dorothy Morton; .Mis' Abel, Miss Gordo Davis; Ezra Wil- liams, Miss Virginia Alsobrook; Mis' Moran, Miss Aldyne Jordan; Mis- Trot, Miss Mabel Henslee; Inez, Miss Frankie Cole; Mis' Ellsworth, Miss Elmina Wade. The story, which took place in a rural kitchen had a note of pathos, lightened by tinges of humor. The trembling, pathetic- utterances of Grandma touched the hearts of every listener, as did the grief of Mis' Ellsworth when her little nephew did not come, and the sympathetic interest of the neigh- bors in her troubles. Bashful Peters

ing of Inez was comical, with his courtship consisting of wild pes- <.iculations, a w k w a r d movements, and faltering remarks about birds and history.

Between the plays two special fea- tures were given—a clog specialtv. "Bye, Bye Blues," by Miss Inez Bartley, and two popular musical

L. C STUDENTS TAKE PART IN ARMISTICE DAY EXERCISES

HEALTH MONTH And the decree went forth o'er

all the Hill. The consumption of any bottled

drink whatsoever is strictly forbid- den in all these domains. Let those who thirst, drink freely of nature's own sweet beverage, water, yea, even unto eight gleaming goblets a day, and also quaff gently from tall tumblers of cool, creanvy milk..

Exercise daily full fifteen minutes in fair weather and foul, with an extra five minutes of systematic contortions before sinking into the shadows of slumber land.

Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. For those followers of Epicurus

who scorn to deny themselves any pleasurable pastime, it must be ex- plained that the foregoing laws dif- fer in one respect from all rules and regulations everywhere and that is they are not binding upon the people. Let those who choose, obey them. For she that endureth to the end, the same shall be given "extra credit" (and not in the us- ual connotation of the word, either).

This is the idea of the whole thing. Each year the Athletic coun- cil places before the girls a list of the fundamental laws of hygiene, and urges that each girl shall try to adhere to them, for at least two months in the year, usually Novem- ber and February. The name "Health month" is very appropriate for when special attention is given to personal cleanliness, regular ex- ercise, sane eating and sufficient sleeping the result is a sure in- crease in healthful efficiency. Then, too, the Council awards to each girl who conscientiously follows the rules seventy-five points of credit to- ward winning a letter, the pride of those whose sweaters it already adorns and the intense desire (whether admitted or not) of every College girl! ooo

FRENCH CLUB HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING

The fust meeting of the French club was held in the prayer hall on the tenth of November at four-fif- teen o'clock. Mile. Catherine Chas- tain presided. The initiation of the new members served as the program. Mile. Margaret Thomason took the chair, and the folowing program was rendered:

Marseillaise LeCircle "Une Petit Histoire"- Mlies. Johnson, Dunbar and Jones. 'Cupidon. Dennistr"—Miles. Prather Ellis, Robertson, Gentry, and Cline.

After the program the new offi- eers were installed. They are:

Mies. Chastain and Adams served the refreshments and the club ad- journed. The next meeting will be held on December the eighth.

numbers by Miss Virginia Moseley. The proceeds from these plays

are to go toward the purchasing of i curtain for the backstasre of the college auditorium.

With hearts more or less patriotic because of the damp and depi

I ing weather, the LaGrange College girls responded loyally to the invi-

! tation to be participants in the par- ade on Tuesday morning. Nov. 11. The college students assembled at

1 the foot of the hill at ten o'clock. ■ They were grouped according to classes, with the presidents of the

! classes in charge. A group of boy scouts carrying D.

! A .R. banners and girls carrying Red j Cross banners were at the head of the line. The president of the senior class of LaGrange College, Miss Sara Clyde Hutchins, carried the L. C. Banner. Following the college girls were the band and drum corps of the Schaub Post of the American Legion. The parade proceeded down Broad Street and was joined by the entire student body of LaGrange High School.

Together with the citizens of La- Grange, they assembled before the court house and the band and drum corps played "Semper Fidelis" and "The Long Roll" as the flag was lowered to half mast. Just as the

• clock in the tower struck eleven, an intense silence fell over all, and

l each head was bowed, as hearts joined other hearts in a word of thankfulness for peace.

The brief reign of silence was .broken by the call of a bugle send- ing out its piercing message in "taps," followed by its more distant echo. The flag was raised to full mast as the band played "The Star Spangled Banner."

Following the program on the square the procession went to the LaG range Theatre. After brief and

| impressive speeches on "Thankful- ness," "Contempt o f Softness,"

^'Spirit of Obedience," "Self Sacri- | fice" and "Courage" were given, two beautiful and appropriate solos were rendered. The main speaker, the Hon. John T. Boifeuillet, was

I introduced, and gave a very inspir- ing message o n Armistice Day, bringing out the significance of peace as compared with war.

| The entire audience joined togeth- er in singing as a group, ending up with "The Star Spangled Banner."

The girls from the college who sold poppies were: Gordo Davis, Tommy Dunbar, Virginia Moseley, Mary Johnson, Frances Eberhardt, Virginia Emory and Mary Lovejoy.

SORORITY" PLEDGES The thrill that comes to a Fresh-

man sorority pledge over "rush week", the glamour of pennants, pins, initiation, and intimacies of sorority sisters, changes trradually, and almost imperceptibly, daring the ensuing year, to a deep anil last- ing affection for the sweet friend- ships and comradely associations within the sorority circle; for the •nany hours spent with the bunch pledged to each other under the dig- nified and stately Greek symbols. token of solemn tics and vows never to be broken.

November, 1930. THE SCROLL LaGrange College

THE BOOK SHELF. No one can question Dorothy

Oanfield's ability as a novelist. She writes smoothly and colorfully, with complete command of her material. However, complex her stories may be, and however crowded with char- acters, they never digress from the main current of the conception. They proceed logically and dramat- ically to a denouement which is both mechanically and morally just- ifiable. . Her. latest novel, The Deep- Mi ing Stream, is typical.

Matey Gilbert, daughter of a brilliant and egotistic college prof- essor, is a fine and honest young person, eager for the richest possi- ble experience of life, and not in- clined to be deceived by showy phrases or false glitter. After a lonely and unhappy childhood, she marries Adrian Fort, an inconspicu- ous bank clerk in the small Pennsyl- vania village of Rustdorf.

No great prosperity comes to the F.orts, but they live together quiet- ly in a deep and affectionate com- ■ xlship. When the World War breaks out, it involves in disaster Matey's intimate friends, the Vinets. She and Adrian drop everything and rush off to France to engage in re- lief work—Adrian to drive an am- bulance, and Matey to stay in Paris and assist the Vinets. The exper- ience of these stirring years deepen the stream of Matey's life. After she returns to Rustdorf, she is ap- parently a commonplace village ma- tron, living placidly a very narrow and unadventurous life. Content- ment is her portion, because she sees her life and Adrian's as richly just- ified by their anonymous, yet genu- inely helpful, contribution to the whole pattern of human endeavor.

The Deepening Stream is a boo*- which appeals to all thoughtful peo- ple because of its profound human sympathy.

THE WAiuNG OF THE BROKEN TROLLEY

ALAS and alack, the poor trolley did cry,

For see how I hang limp against the blue sky.

My line is all broken and cannot be used;

I'm terribly treated and sadly abused.

■- .^

No more will the basket go up and go down,

No more will there be any smug cargo found,

No more will one hear a faint jingle at night

To tell the wide world that some- one's in a plight.

I lie on my side and think back o'er my past

\ id wonder how long, oh, how long this will last.

In days of my infancy far in the past Were gambols at midnight to break

a week's fast.

A jingle, a pull and then up there- would ride Qlfl

A sandwich, an apple, a nut at one side, B| * f

A -mall piece of sweet that was mashed out of shape

But, oh, what of that, it made no escape.

The gay days are gone and forgot- ten, I fear,

And left me to live an existence so drear.

Won't someone, oh someone, take pity on me

And mend the limp line hanging so drearily. Dorothy Morton, '32.

FRESHMAN FUN About the first of November the

various sororities of LaGrange Col- lege sent out bids to the new stu- dents. The Freshmen were thrilled almost beyond words to receive the bids and responded eagerly to them.

Not long ago the Freshmen were called together and told that their caps had arrived. The caps are red and black, the Colloge colors, and have the letters L. C. on the front of them. We were told that we must wear these caps everywhere we go on the campus for the entire semester. A Freshman caught with- out her cap must pay a fine of one penny to the Sophomore Class. Most Freshmen do not have money to burn and even pennies count in the long run so each is seen rushing from class with her cap pulled jaunt- ily on her head.

Week before last a class meeting was called to elect our sponsor. We selected Miss Katherine Stewart to be our sponsor and we are- indeed delighted to have her fill this place.

On Wednesday, November 19, the Freshmen had an examination inv

Biology and early that morning about five o'clock the entire Fresh- man hall was stirring, alarm clocks were going off and voices could be heard Murmuring things about the Amoeba and various biological terms. The marks have not been announced yet but we are hoping that they will be good. Freshmen visiting home during the

month were: Miss Lonnie Reese Couch, Winder. Miss Louise Hawks, West Point; Miss Ruth Ingram, Sharpsburg; Miss Millie Webb, Smy- rna; Miss Rosaline Wingard, Rome; Miss Ruth Jinks, Jackson; Miss Sara Bond, Jackson; Miss Ruth Dempsey. Bolton; Miss Alice Lovern, Newnan; Miss Frances Ci-awford, Tallapoosa; Miss Frances Eberhart, Atlanta; Miss Elizabeth Hall, Fairburn; and Miss Elma Cowan, Social Circle. oOo

"THOSE INTERESTED IN MATHEMATICS"

"A Mathematics Club! My good- ness, what kind of programs do you have?" Those who think we don't have good programs just come to one of our meetings. We don't get so "wrapped up" in mathematics and mathematical theories that we forget to have a good time. Mr. Bailey makes our meetings especial- ly interesting by explaining such things as a fourth dimension. If a man in jail could just get in the fourth dimension he could escape prison with no effort on his part and no one would know how or when he

't. Maybe you would like to learn how to sudenly disappear from your clases. Or maybe you would like to see him prove to you that parallel lines can meet.

■"e have other interesting discus- sions too. After trying our ability at working puzzles we had delicious '•efreshments.

SOCIETAS MINERVAE i MISS CORNELIA WALLACE BRINGS MESSAGE TO

THE L. C. GIRLS A meeting of the Societas Miner- vae Latin Club was held in the so- cial room on Tuesday, Nov. 1th. The program was a very unique one car- rying out the spirit of Halowe'en. When the secretary called the roll each responded with a Virgilian quo- tation. The club was delighted to have as its new member Miss Caro- lyn Brooks. Miss.Leila Ann Greene carried out the initiation of the new member by' a very clever scheme • ppring siven- by the

which proved instructive. I Q]u\)_ The next number on the program

was one of Pliny's readings by Miss Hixie. Gentry. Miss Lorene Daniel read an interesting paper on Ghosts in Vergil's Aenead. The last num- ber on the program was a stunt of fortune telling. Miss Aline White, acting as the Sibyl, scattered about the room leaves on which was writ- ten the fortune of each person. Ev- eryone scrambled to the floor to find a leaf. It was necessary for each one to translate the words from the Latin into English, before she could Kirn what mesage the Sibyl had Eor her.

At the close of the program de- lightful refreshments carrying out the color scheme of Halowe'en were

A certain freshman almost drowned the other night when the pillow slipped, the bed spread and she fell into the spring.

One of the most inspirational oc- casions at L. C, during the past month was the visit of Miss Cornelia Wallace, State President of the Student Volunteer Movement. Miss Wallace, a senior at Agnes Scott College, was welcomed to the hill by a weiner roast at McLendon

SENIOR ACTIVITIES

Twenty-five seniors returned to The Hill this year to carry on the work begun by their "illustrious forebears" of '29-'30. The leaders of this year were chosen as follows: Sara Clyde Hutchins, president; Dorothy Neal, vice-president; Mar- tha Jane Estes, secretary and treas- urer; Virginia Emory, secretary for Senior fund; Katie McLaughlin. Sen- ior Representative for the Athletic Council, and .Mary Lovejoy, Scroll Reporter.

Some of the seniors have renewed their friendship with freshman sis- ters of last year under the more dignified title of sophomore sisters of this year. Others have selected sisters from new members in the sister class and still others have made exchanges when friendship called different ones together.

During the early part of the year the class, sponsored the performance of the Avon Players in "Romeo and Juliet'' at the high school auditor- ium. It is always a credit to an or- ganization when it is able to bring a performance both entertaining and beneficial to its town.

On Saturday night, October 25th, witches and goblins reigned supreme on The Hill. The seniors gave a carnival in the gym. There were side shows and candy and drinks and dancing; and as a grand climax the revelers elected a king and queen from their midst to preside over the grand march. Miss Pauline Roberts as a Spanish senor and Miss Leila Ann Greene as his charming senor- ita received this honor; and Miss Neva Caudle as a dashing young Army officer was master of cere- monies. During the evening Miss Inez Bartley danced and Miss Sara Clyde Hutchins sang.

The senior fund is increasing steadily in spite of "hard times" and I the nationwide "business depres- sion." The whole school is interest- ed in seeing the class take the an- nual trip. Last year the seniors were fortunate enough to go to Washington, and this year the sen iors are hoping to make the same t< ip. 0O0

INTERNATIONAL RELA- TIONS CLUB MEETS

The International Relations Club held its regular meeting in the social ' room, November 18th, at 4:15 p. m. I

The regular order of roll call and , business was carried thru and then attention was turned to the especial- j ly interesting program of current events concerning Franklin D. Roos- evelt.

The program was ;.s fclows: Roosevelt Here This Week,

—Miss Elizabeth Fort. The Outstanding Personality of Roo- i evelt.

—Miss Elizabeth Merritt. Tlie Democratic Landslide.

—Miss Katherine Rogers. Roosevelt for Repeal.

—Miss Dorothy Morton During the social hour which fol-

lowed, Misses Martha Jane Estes, and Ora Mae Bowlss were hostesses.

Here you come, about half way up the long flight of steps, your arms breaking under the load of hat box and packages, a Georgia-Tech pennant hanging limply from one box strap; a football program clutched tightly in one hand, the other frantically swinging to a half- empty candy box; one shoe strap completely severed; your hat dangl- ing feebly to a strand or two of hair— still you struggle on. Hope rises as you can peer upward—and then a face appears over the banis- ter and—

"Hello, honey, been off? Have fun?"

Oh what can you do? What can a lady do? Exile, quick death, jail or reformatory? Which? I beg.

Well, after going through this for three years (you now pretend to Senior-Hood) you have learned to ] stand your ground in such cases; you have acquired the art of gritt- ing your teeth and entering into battle.

The correct reply would run like ! this:

"No' darling, I just ran over to the tea room Saturday afternoon for a Milky Way, and while over there, Pauline Roberts phoned that the Tech football team was spending the week-end in LaGrange (They can- celed their week-end game, preferr- ing to give L. C. girls a real treat by their presence). So we girls just pitched right in with a party for them that night. We had crackers and pickles, free of charge, from Lucy B., so you see things started with a sour crackle instead of the usual bang. These week-end cases belong to the team (they'll call for them) don't tell me you haven't heard about all my fun. They gave

■me this pennant and candy, and the Mayor of Atlanta bought my colors for me and sent them down by Earl Dunlap or was it Herbert Moffett?"

Girls, that is the model along which you must frame your response. Fix it up to suit the experience and general sophistication of your hearer, who will stand gasping while you give this snappy speech. Prac- tice makes perfect, you know, and sometime in the future, I am sure you will learn to speak it off with- out a single blunder.

MISS FENSMARK VISITS COLLEGE

The release bell rang; the students poured out of classes; the campus was abuzz with murmers and loud voices of praise of someone. Could it be that I caught the name, Miss Fensmark? I did. The girls were talking excitedly of her interesting talk during History Class. For twe days this kept up until I felt that I just must hear this amazing woman

from Copenhagan, Denmark, speak so that I too might catch something of her spirits.

The chapel bell rang; the girls filed into chapel with looks of bright anticipation on their faces. What eould be the cause. Then I saw- Miss Fensmark sat on the stage, waiting to give us her message.

As she told in her soft, full tones of the great strength and refuge we find in Jesus Christ a feeling of calm and peace settled over the au- dience that was not there before. I felt that surely a wonderful person- ality had come into our midst. Her pictures of the strong faith shown by people of other lands in our God made a deep impression on our hearts.
