IS

From the beginning of the overture through the cantata, "The Sleeping Beauty", the program Monday night proved to be a most creditable and interesting one. Both the vocal and instrumental selections were excellently done displaying efficient training under Miss Helen Turner and Miss Elizabeth Purdom.

The pianists, Miss Elizabeth Taylor for the Choral Club, Miss Turner for the Chromatic Club and the soloist, furnished perfect accompaniment throughout the entire program.

The score of the cantata was melodius and tuneful; the vocal effects of shading were pleasing, the parts blending to form a perfect whole. Especially was this true of the entrances for Mr. Whittemore which the girls prepared with ease.

The guest soloist, pleased his audience with two groups of songs; the Dr. J. L. Jarman, who dreamed of a great college and made his dream first of old English ballads which were come true, who lives in the heart of every alumna delightful; the second, a more varied group, reaching his climax with words from The Blind Ploughman: "God took away my eyes That my soul might see"— Mr. Whittemore's enunciation was splendid.

JOAN'S SPIRIT PORT R A YE I)

Welcome classes of '89, 99, *09 and '19." These were the words on the "tip of the tongue" of our student body on Founders Day. Of course, all alumnae and friends were warmly received, but these were especially welcomed. "Why?"—an outsider may ask. Why, don't you know?

The classes of '89, '99, '09 and 19 had their reunion this Founders Day, the class of '29, both sophomores and seniors, were their special hostesses.

Several weeks ago the members of Class of '29 wrote to the other '"9" classes inviting them back for a reunion—it was *.> be very "niney" affair—-and it was. Many alumnae of those classes were back. Some were old, some middle age and some young, —but no matter how varied the ages or how far apart their paths of life had become, they all seemed to have a bouyant love and tenderness for Alma Mater. "Best girl friends" chatted together once more and reminisced. A class reunion was held at four o'clock in the afternoon.

We hope they enjoyed being back as much as we enjoyed having them back, (We Relieve jhey did.) We hope that in '39 the affair will be equally successful, and our class of '29 will be 100 per cent present.

Contributions Presented to Dr. Jarman for the Student Building Fund Associated as it was with the beloved spirit of Joan of Arc, Founders Day, which was observed on Saturday, March 9, proved to be a challenge and an inspiration to all the alumnae and students of Farmville State Teachers College who are interested in the program of the college.

Th spirit* of Alma Mater was successfully portrayed in scenes taken from the life of Joan of Arc, who was considered the embodiment of the ideals of the institution.

The final scene indicated the relationship of the spirit of Joan of Arc to the students of the college. The reproduction of the statue in the college reception hall was the unique feature of the scene. The entire pageant was of unusual character, in that the costumes adjusted settinjfs were appropriately adjusted

DR. JARMAN REVIEWS HISTORY OF OUR MANY ALUMNAE COLLEGE IN FOUNDERS DAY ADDRESS ATTEND MEETING m. ,, ,. . ..

Ihe annual business meeting of the Alumnae Association was held in the Student Building auditorium on Saturday, March 9, at .1:15 o'clock. After the reading of the minutes the president, Mrs. Coyner, extended a special Welcome to the five reunion classes; 1889, 1899. 1909, 1919 and 1929.

Miss Hiner read an appreciation of Mrs. Jarman written by Miss Sutherlin. This was accepted by the association and it was moved and passed that a copy be recorded in the permanent records of the organization and another copy sent to Dr. Jarman.

A report was made concerning the Morrison Memorial Fund and the president asked that some definite steps be taken to bring the matter to a head. Several years ago the association voted to begin a memorial fund for Mrs. Morrison, matron of our college from 1882 to 1905, and invest this money in a small library. The money on deposit amounted to $148.11. It was decided that as soon as $200 had been raised that the committee invest the money in books to be placed in a (urn er of our college library and marked Morrison Memorial Library.

New bookl would be added as the money came in. Mrs. James collected $24.36 Continued OB page four

Sophomore Class Cooperation—Battle Scene, Junior Class Loyalty -Trial Scene Senior Class Service—Joan of Arc in Our College Student Organizations The presentation of scenes in the life of Joan, the listener, leader, soldier and martyr, conspired to increase the inspirational significance of Joan on the campus.

As a tribute to the memory of Founders Day and as a birthday present to the College, Frances Willis presented the contributions of the classes and organizations to Dr. Jarman.

Miss Alice Carter, of the State Teachers College faculty, presided over the reports of the alumnae chapters. The audience was impressed by the amount of enthusiasm exhibited by the alumnae.

We are always glad to publish any desirable article or communication that may be sent to us. We wish, however, 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.

Are You a Democrat?

We quote the man who said, "A democracy is a state wherein any man is as good as any other man, if he is" Student government is a similar state—one in which any girl is as good as any other girl, if she is.

Was there ever a group of people which some did not feel that they were controlled by a chosen few who conspired against them?

Queerly enough, the few usually lead because they were chosen by the grumblers.

It seems rather a shame that in a college group we can't rise above the level of less privileged communities. It is most probable that the complainers, those who feel "conspired against", are self placed in the inactive group. Others have risen to positions of some height because they have worked hard enough to justify promotion from the ranks. Hours spent in service are duly rewarded, as are hours spent in negligence.

"Every girl is as good as every other girl, if she is."

True it is that many capable girls have not been discovered. Possibly they have not been placed in favorable circumstances.

Though many of us will not admit it it is true that the girl who "inherits" places in sororities and organizations through no merit of her own, places the unknown girl at a disadvantage. Initiative and courage and peroeveraace, are the remedies for a girl so handicapped.

The fault does fall back on the leaders, too, when they make no effort to provide opportunities for the "timid talented type." If you are clamoring for democracy, use your efforts to develop every girl instead of condemning the few who have gone ahead. The time when we shall select new leaders is not far off. There is one vote for every girl!

To Our Alumnae Founders Day was home-coming day for alumnae of our college. A great many returned for the events of the dual occasion. It was an inspiration to us who are still students to know those who were here before we came, and to discover the same light shining in their eyes that we see every day—love for Alma Mater.

No doubt it is often true that the present is not fully appreciated, that we students, happy and carefree in our beautiful college with apportunities *open to us every day have no way of comparing it with the world beyond, and so don't quite grasp the significance of it all. Our alumnae, who too knew and loved the same Alma Mater, upon returning, spread a glow of appreciation and admiration that is wildly contagious.

Through the eyes of others we see as new the familiar scenes that make our world different from all others.

We hope that the alumnae, too, caught an inspiration. The college grows every year, in more than physical size. Who could return and not sense a thrill as she finds the realization of the dreams for which she worked to make a reality? The Student Building, the bank in which we place our money, is beautifully complete, and almost paid for! The new dormitory adjoining it, and the rare senior building, too, are a never ending source of joy.

To those who could not return, we are sending this Rountda in which we have tried to include some of the things you will enjoy when you can return. You are always welcome; we are always happy when you come back for a dip into college life you used to live.

Spring's Around the Corner Wind blown trees and purple violets tell us spring is here. It's happy news for school girls who like to stroll in the sunshine and hike miles into the country. But it's still around the corner, a formidable corner—exams! Nature is neglecting these glorious March days, because there's a force within the college walls stronger even than the lure of spring. Such earnest purpose and intense study, rare at other seasons, is much in vogue this week. We are bending every effort to make the finish a creditable one. When reports go home, then our efforts will show.

Oh, happy day—next Tuesday! The burdens of term papers and harrowing exams will be gone, disturbing us no more until the approach of June. Then spring will be here in truth. This will be the most exciting of all springs because Longwood will be open to us for picnics and week-end trips and other happy holidays.

pledges at Founders Day have brought the debt down to about twenty-nine thousand dollars. While this is veryencouraging indeed, it is a pretty heavy load still and I am in hopes that you will all rally to our call for help and try to send in a contribution large or small: don't put it off; as soon as you finish reading this issue of The Rotunda, get out your check book and send in your check.

Remember, in all the years of her existence, this is the only call your Alma Mater has made upon you; the State made possible the training you had here and I am sure you feel sufficient appreciation of the opportunities afforded you to want to help out just as far as you can with this project which is so near to her heart.

You will hearten those in charge to make them feel that your sympathy and support are with them and that you really have a desire to help.

With best wishes for each one of you, and the hope that a large number at least will be with us for next year's celebration, I am Sincerely your friend, J. L. JARMAN.

ELECTIONS! Time is swiftly passing—so swiftly in fact, that we can hardy realize that it is now time to begin thinking seriously about the Y. W. C. A. elections.

Let us first review our purpose: "We, the members of the Young Women's Christian Association of State Teachers College, Farmville, Va., unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and follow Him." After obtaining the full meaning of our purpose we are made more conscious of the fact, that the officers of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet must be girls who have the vision, the patience, and the knowledge to carry through this purpose. These girls must realize new possibilities within themselves, gain a new sense of joy and gaiety inherent in the doing of the friendliness of people.

The task of choosing the right girl

AN APPRECIATION (Read at tlie meeting of the alumnae, March 9) Since the last meeting of this body, our Association has lost one of the most valuable and steadfast friend? we ever had; and with reverent spirits and sad hearts we pause at this moment In pay tribute to the honored memory of the late Helen Wiley Jarman. wife of mil- president, Dr. J. L Jarman.

A woman of gentle bearing, fine ideals, high courage, heroic enterprise, and almost incredible achievements, she served as a living example of the power of woman to guide those about her and to raise them to her own high level of useful service. Her variety of womanly graces endeared her to us personally; her winsome, radiant spirit adorned and cheered the social life of our school; and her gracious hospitality charmed many a distinguished guest, who left her home with the happiest memories of his visit, and with the impression of our college as a place, where order, beauty, and the fine art of living have reached a high state of perfection.

Now that we view the life of Mrs. ;:n as a finished whole, we see her fine ideals translated into fruitful deeds of generous devotion to the good of humanity. With her fine instincts she aprpehended a need; and with patient, fearless devotion to the cause she believed to be right, she entered her whole personality. She was not the person to be identified with many organizations, she sometimes organized, sometimes led, and often did much of the most arduous work connected with the enterprise. Yet with high courage she carried on, frequently without encouragement, without praise, without reward; but ever with dignified obedience to the voice of duty.

We are deeply grateful for the memory of her useful years, crowded with rich records of abundant service to her day and generation, years given to enhancing the beauty of the world in which she lived.

We deplore the passing of our friend, for the present student body and for the generations of students yet to fill our halls, who shall not know the stimulating influence of her vital, radiant personality; for the community in which she labored as one of its most helpful citizens; for her co-laborers in the many organizations to which she belonged and to which she gave her wise counsel, her indefatigable effort. Finally, to our beloved President and his family we tender our profoundest sympathy in their deep sorrow.

Hers is a work that we must not let die, indeed, we cannot—it is immortal. "Her heart beat strong and cheerfully, left a hopeful impulse behind it, and bettered the tradition of mankind."

DR. WALMSLEY SPEAKS IN CHAPEL As a gracious response to the request of the student body, Dr. Walmsley will speak in chapel each Tuesday morning on topics of world-wide Interest. In the period of ten minutes devoted to his talks, Dr. Walmsley will give the students the benefit of his unpredjudiced views and keen appreciation of present-day events. for a certain office is a hard one. It is not something which can be done in a .few minutes; but rather something which takes time and prayer.

Shall we not start now?

Longwood, Country Estate, Latest Addition to S. T. C. LONGWOOD

Beautiful Home and Estate of DO Acres Constitute New Pleasure Center Civil War days, is one of the most recent addition: to the State Teachers College. It is an estate containing 90 acre:; of ground on winch is a BDadoUS sixteen room mansion. Longwood was at one time the home of General Joseph E. Johnston* famed Confederate leader. II has been bought h.V the college as a recreational center for its studenis, and is being remodeled to suit their most fastidious whims.

The house has true colonial charm.

Host of the rooms have large fireplaces, which, of course, will be left to increase the home-like and cozy atmosphere. There are twin staircases running parallel with only a partition between them, each with its little iron railing. These were built in the good old days when modesty was i redominant One staircase was used by the women, one by the men. Modernity is being added to antiquity to give comfort as well as charm. Lights and heat have already been installed and the exterior of the house has been repainted. The back first-floor rooms are to be turned into a tea room and kitchen; there will be four large and four small bedrooms, each with a private bath; and a sunparlor is to be built on the east wing. The setting of this home is as beautiful and romantic as the home itself. Boxwood, holly trees, Virginia creeper, and many other varieties of shrubbery typical of the Old South surround the house. These are so arranged that a natural amphitheatre might easily be formed. Already some of the far-seeing students have suggested having our future May Day exercises at Longwood.

Aside from their beauty the grounds offer wonderful possibilties for recreational activity. Among the recreational advantages, a nine-hole golf course is to be one of the outstanding features.

Longwood has been bought for the pleasure of the students, individually and collectively. It is to be their playground and meeea of pleasure.

Dr. Jarman says, "It takes figuring and planning, but it's lots of fun." Has it not been this same indomitable spirit that has obtained for us so many of the vital possessions of S. T. C? It is just another dream of Dr. Jarman'l already coming true.

AN EXPLANATION Some 0 ft he alumnae who receive this copy of The Rotunda did nol receive a letter before Founders Day. telling of the alumnae meeting at that time and containing the ballot for the election of officers. There are several reasons for this, the chief one being that it is a big order to keep the alumnae tiles, the addresses of 3969 people, up to date when t he work has to be done by volunteers whose leisure time, while given most cheerfully to the task is not very abundant.

Changes of name and address have to be found accidentally, or sought for when a piece of mail is returned, because it is <>f rarest occurrence that an alumnae notifies the president or secretary when the wedding day Of the moving day necessitates a change in the records. You are urged most cordially to remember that your Alma Mater is interested in you and d.sire.s this cooperation on your part.

ALUMNAE WHO VISITED MODERN DORMITORY US FOUNDERS DA Y HAD BY UPPER CLASSMEN Who ever thought we upper classmen would ever have such an "up-todate" and "homey" dormitory?

The entire building from top to bottom is very modern and contains every convenience a school girl could wish for— even an elevator. There are 68 rooms, all for two girls, with a bath between every two rooms. There is a kitchen, which for some time was only one in name, but now there is a beautiful brand new electric stove which will soon be the pride and joy of every girl in the new building.

Besides a sun parlor on each floor, there is a big living room on the first floor. This room has a fire place which has been a joy and a delight on cold afternoons and nights to all who love to sit around open fires, toast marshmallows, and tell fairy tales.

With all of these comforts and pleasures it is no wonder that such a fine spirit and "home-like" atmosphere exists among the girls. As the building is a dream come true, so we are hoping that within this building we will see a new form of student self government grow. Under the leadership of Etta Marshall, house president, all the girls are uniting in a spirit quite new to any dormitory.

She divided her talk into three div isions taking the child from one to six; from six to twelve, and from twelve to eighteen. She discussed each group separately so that the primary, grammar grade and high school future teachers would know how to cope with the problems of their pupils.

The Tacna-Arica boundary dispute born in war and thriving through 45 years on international strife, has been settled by peaceful means.

When Mr. Kellogg, secretary of state, used his good offices to bring about a resumption of relations between Chili and Peru last July the event was hailed as an outstanding stroke of diplomacy and hope was that the issue would be soon settled.

This hope is now realized. Chili and Peru have divided the disputed provinces of Tacna and Arica between them, Peru taking Tacna and Chili taking Arica.
