NEW DORMITORY OPENED FOR UPPER CLASSMEN

NEW SENIOR DORMITORY

FLAY DAY IS A ORE A T SUCESSS Did you hear shouts of laughter issuing from the gym and athletic field Saturday afternoon?

Play Day was in full sway there where many of the girls were thoroughly enjoying an afternoon of games, supervised by Miss Her. The crowd was just divided into learns which were indicated by a ribbon worn on the arm. Then the relays began with great excitement and rivalry. Such contests as the Straddle, Indian and Number Relays brought forth the cries, "Beat 'em, team."

"Snap it up, girls." "Hurrah, for the I.avendars."

The obstacle race was perhaps the funniest. Grotesque figures fairly flew across the field in one galosh, clutching an umbrella in one gloved hand, the other madly jamming a hat on one side of the toead.

Play Day was a great success. Let's' have another soon.

WHO'S WHO ON FACULTY The Faculty of S. T. C. is again represented in Who's Who. In the 1928 volume which was issued recently, Dr. human and Dr. Walmsley are given very interesting write-ups.

The student body feels the honor and we congratulate Dr. Jarman and Dr. Walmsley on this recognition of their work.

916 STUDENTS ENROLLED AT S. T. C. FOR THE FALL TERM BLUE RIDGE CONFERENCE HELPS DELEGATES

Complete in Up-to-Date Equipment The new dormitory across from the Training School is one of the most positive signs of our "up to (lateness" and ultra modernity. The whole building is made up of two room suites with two girls in each room. There are sixty-eight rooms with a bath between each two rooms and each girl has a closet of her own. This feature makes Senior Hall undoubtedly the most convenient and comfortable dormitories OB the campus.

Besides the dormitory rooms there is a sun parlor on each floor, artistically furnished, also a pressing room and kitchen on the second floor.

The drawing room on the first floor is especially "homey" having a big fireplace and beautiful furniture.

This building is estimated to have cost $125,000 including the furniture.

The seniors are proud of their new home and are grateful to Dr. Jarman and the other authorities of the ■chool whii made it possible for their r. nt .ii this b< nutiful building.

Enrollment is Smaller Than For Last Year I'p to the present time i>16 students have matriculated at S. T. C. A number of students are still expected to arrive This number is not so large as the enrollment of last year.

The decrease may be due to the law which will go into effect in 1930 requiring a degree in order to teach in accredited high schools, thus eliminating those who cannot afford to go four years; or it may be due to the fact that more girls are deciding upon business careers, and pursuits other than teaching.

A friend of college boys and girls last week suggested for Headquarters for new consideration an old, old thought: "Encompassed about by such a cloud of witnesses, let us run with diligence the race that S. T. C. GIRLS is sot before us."

Now at the beginning of our school year the track is clear Come in and get acquainted before us. We are runners in the race of life.

Family and friends are witnesses of our progress. Shall we take new vigor We're Glad to Have You and determine to run the race with diligence?

Back at home there is a family who has had faith enough in each of us to believe that we will make good. They have worked, probably sacrificed, that we might have an opportunity SHANNON'S that most of them never had. They are missing us, yes, but For the Hest Place they do not waver, so that we may continue our education.

CHANGES IN THE LIBRARY

LETTER FROM AN ALUMNA Dearest Girls: My thoughts have been with you during the busy days of the first week of school life. I've memory-flashes of old scenes and dear familiar faces, many of whom you see daily, come before me, bringing again the same cheer and inspiration which they brought to me as a "new girl and in the happy years which followed.

Today I am packing my boy's' trunk who leaves for a prep school on Thursday, and I am thinking too, of all the mothers all over our country. as they watch the boys and girls leaving for school. Now, I know the eager interest of a parent in every phase of the school life as it touches the youth. Now, I know the ambitions and ideals of parents for their boys and girls, the love and concern for them too. Yes, and their prayers for their safe-keeping in all things. The mother's hearts are in sympathy for the homesick ones, for the shy and timid ones, for the gay and boisterous ones, for the hard workers and for those who would be shirkers.

A happy memory of the Farmville school with me is that of the cha^^ It was there we started the school day( in devotional exercises or announcements, or a heart to heart talk from Dr. Jarman to his girls, a talk in which he never failed to give us a new ideal and a larger vision for service.) Things may have changed there since the school has grown so large, but as you glance at the girls around you, remember just as your family is interested in you, in your success, and in your school happiness, so is the family of the girl next to you. and the same is true for every girl. Somebody wants the "new girl" to feel at home, so give her a friendly smile and a cheery word to make her feel that she is one of you. Somebody wants the new girl to win success this first year, so give your encouragement to her, give her of your confidence, and knowledge. Somebody wants the new girl to make good in every phase of her school life, so give again of your very best, in example of fair play, of friendship, in truth and honor, remembering the verse on real success—"Do you know that it's' up to you to work, succeed and live? But first you must be true, and learn to give, and give, and give!"—A Devoted Alumna.

.1/1 FIRST MURDER Yes. he was a college boy.

His father owned the big bolt am' screw factory just across the tracks from my house. Our meeting had been very informal. I had bumped into his car one day as I was walking toward town. The car wasn't badly damaged, so he asked me to ride to town with him. As mother had often told me never to get into a car with a strange man I said that I would be glad to stand on the running board. So off we went, (not the running board, but towards town). He dropped me at the live-and-ten and after I had picked up my hat I went in to do a little shopping for mother.

When I had purchased the spool of ih read, I started home. As luck would have it there was my friend again. He asked if he might call and I told him to yell as loud as he pleased—my ear drums were in perfect order. But it seems he wanted to come to see me.

I said yes.

Next night he came. I had spent the day at the library. I didn't' want him to think that was uneducated, and I hadn't sent in my membership to the "Fifteen Minutes a Day Club.'" We were sitting on the porch in the swing.

There was silence. I knew that this was my chance to expound my literary knowledge, so I said, "Do you know

And when he said "Is he? Who cares?" What could I do but stick him with my hat pin?

The annual meeting of the National College Press Association has ben set for November 16 and 17 at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.

The editors and business managers of all college newspapers, whether members of the association or not, are invited to be present at the meeting.

The program will include speeches by men nationally known in the newspaper field, round-table discussion of the problems confronting the editors and business managers of the college newspapers, presentation of papers by college editors on college journalist ic questions of the day, a banquet, entertainment and a football game. At that time, also, plans will he perfected for a closer national organization and means of rendering greater service to members and to the institution of college journalism itself.

A period will be included in the program at which editors and business managers can bring up their Specific problems for discussion.

An official bulletin of the National College Press Association states that greater problems than ever before lace the college journalistic world of today. In line with all institutions and industries, its standards have been more exacting. In order to maintain its place in the business world and it-

What the newspaper is to the general community, the school paper is to the school community. Both publications possess uncommon interest to their readers by the printing of news items, stories, etc., and both have the power of moulding public opinion. One influences mature minds the other influences the youthful minds. Both are informative and highly educational. Especially is this latter statement true in the case of the school papers.

The school paper has one distinct advantage in educational value—it is the product of its readers. To be successful it must represent the combined effort of every class in the school and be of interest to every student enrolled in those classes. The academic classes may be assigned the task of collecting news, preparing interesting articles, and revising the manuscript for errors in English construction, spelling and typography; the art classes may have charge of the illustrations and general typography arrangements; the "ommercial classes may look after the business end of the publication, such matters as soliciting money for subscriptions or advertisements, making disbursements for printing, etc.

No other activitiy can combine into a single educational unity practically the entire facilities of the institution as does the school paper.

With the installation of a magazine in a school all the academic work is revitalized. English, spelling, arithmetic, grammar and art will take on a different meaning to students who have hitherto regarded these studies merely as necessary evils. Taught in conjunction with a school magazine, their great vaule as vital elements o! education is realized. School papers are great aids to faculties of institutions of learning.

After ling the ministers and other church representatives, presented by Jane Hunt Martin, extended to all the students a cordial invitation to the various churches of the town.

From the time we saw that letter beginning, "Dear Little Sister," we Freshmen felt a real link binding us to Farmville S T. C. 'Twas like a friendly hand grasping ours, and it surely has been a comforting feeling ever since. You know 'twas your "Big Sister" who came into your room that first nite and put her arm 'round your shoulder and said, "Honey, if you need anything I'm right here to help you."

Then our throats began to unknot and we knew she understood and was sincere about helping us.

The night we got lost in the corridor and seemed to be wandering on and on in unfamiliar paths along came that "Big Sister" to return us to the fold! Didn't we feel our importance when she guided us safely around in the crowd at the Y. W. party and introduced us to so many nice girls—as her "little sister!" In fact, she seems to have the knack of knowing when "and how" we'd want her most.

She's just one smile and cheerful word after another. We owe her a big debt and we'll repay it next year by being ever so kind to some frightened little freshman!

Who ever thought of Big Sisters anyway'.' Her"s to her happiness and we'd like to shake his hand. These F. S. T. C. girls, as well as the faculty have certainly got that spirit, for after all "Big Sister" seems to be a synonym for good-fellowship.

Freshman though we are, and ever so green, we certainly have been made to feel that we are truly wanted and welcomed that is what our Big Sis'ei- have helped to do.
