T hirty-five of the new girls of M cBride H all enjoyed
the hospitality of Mrs. H all on Sunday evening after
chapel in order to get better acquainted. T his little
affair took on th e n atu re of a “ s tu n t” party, as th e
g irls called for volunteers. Songs, stories and reci
tatio n s were given. Ice cream and cake w ere served,
and a very inform al and pleasant hour and a half was
enjoyed. Mrs. H all was assisted by Miss F ra tis and
Miss Sw anson. A uie N erguson and M artha T itseler
did trie serving
D u rin g Sunday evening chapel the orchestra played
“ Deep R iv er” — A N egro S p iritu al, C ruz M cDaniels

G eorge B arrett played S chlem uller’s “ B au ern tan z”
as a cello solo, the choir gave “ T hy Sweet V oice” by

'l'lie exercises were closed by a fine talk from
S u p t. H all. T h e value of asm ile, both to the individual
and all m an k ind, was most ably set fo rth . T he sm ile
is th e su n sh in e of life; it dissipates the shadow , it
creates an atm osphere all its own; it m akes m en and
women, boys and girls, m ore w illing to serve and
renders them im m une to fatigue. It was a splendid
talk — one of S upt. H a ll’s best.

th o u g h they had no one to oppose them ; but in a l
m ost every instance their throw s to the basket were
warded off by ou r g uards, N ix and L iljegren, who
deserve special m ention for the way in w hich they
played th eir position. N ix also converted 11 of the
19 points made. S hepard, center, scored six and
Dow nie tw o.
