FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 11M8

Discussion Held On Southern Economic Situation at U. Va. Meeting at the University of Virginia on Sunday, November 13. the members of the Committee of Human Welfare heard a discussion of the Southern economic situation. The speakers were Mr. Lawrence Oee, editor of the Virginia Quarterly Review. Dr. Wilson Gee. piofessor of Rural Social Economics at the U. Va., and Dr. Dabney Lancaster of Sweet Briar.

Mr. Lee spoke on the topic, "The Problem at Our Doorstep".

One of the outstanding statements he made was: "We in the South have been warned that the economic, political, and social problems in our own territory threaten our own region with fascism. The negro problem constantly looms before us. for the struggles of life have put a distrust between the races that must be dissolved before we can proceed to a solution of the problem as a whole."

Funeral Last Friday The night was cold and dark except when the heavy clouds passed for only an instant to let the moon in all its glory shine forth. The rains had beat upon the earth all day. but as if a magic hand had turned the majestic faucet, they ceased.

In the stillness of the night as the clock chimed the half hour after eleven, a single file of college students. Shannon's employees, and sympathetic friends bore the little casket silently to its final resting place ... a friend had passed on.

This little friend was in the foim of a little gray Maltese kitten known to most of us as "Smokey". Never shall we forget him. He was with us for only a few short weeks, but he had his own cunning little way of winning our hearts; and now we shall miss him.

"Smokey" was laid to rest under the spreading oak tree on the North West side of Senior building in the presence of those who loved him. The Senior Building windows were raised and students stood therein with silent lips and bowed heads, as official grave digger. Charlie Joyce, performed the last act of kindness for the little kitten. The service was read by Fiances Steed and with tears ln their hearts, the mourners sang "Auld Lang Syne".

"Misery" and "Dennis" then covered the body with the cold, damp sod and Jim Dudley stooped to place his token of love there on the little mound.

The final procession, led by Beverly Sexton I instigater of these rites i. ended at the foot of the Senior Building steps, and from there each went his own way, mourning the loss of one loved bv all.

House Council Notice New rules concerning quiet hour will go In'o effect on Thursday night at 7 o'clock.

Every student is asked to cooperate and conform to these rules. Quirt is requested as students return from "Hanging the Greens".

Then she asked all the girls to walk correctly from one end of the gym to the other. One of the most impressive sights of the afternoon was the mass of fifty blue-clad girls leaping across the gym ln unison as Miss Holm beat the rhythm out on a drum.

On Tuesday night at the Student Body meeting. Helen Reiff presented the theme for this year's May Day which will be Rpence's "Faerie Queen". She explanied that as it is written in twelve books, the theme committee was obliged to select one to be adapted and Book One was chosen as typically suitable and interesting.

It is the story of the Rederasse Knight, one of the twelve dispatched by the Faerie Queene. and In. conquests and adventures. By his side is the "ladye falre". Una. who will be represented as the May Queen. As Una plays a most important part, it was suggested that, when considering a girl for May Queen, the Student Body try to choose one with a certain amount of grace and ability to pantomine.

The Faerie Queene is a tale of dragons, knoghtly conquests, faeries, and lovely damsels, and as this is the first year that the students are undertaking the management themselves, it is to be hoped that this year's May Day will uphold the fine standards of former years.

OPEN FORUM Dear Dr. Jaiman.

As one of the many enthusiastic witnesses of the Hanya Holm concert last week. I want to say many thanks for such a splendid program. It was certainly one of unusually interesting and educational import.

Of course, we enjoy lectures and choirs and concerts; but we can see and hear those any time. around school or at the movies, We cant witness such talent as the Hanya Holm or a similar group of modern dancers. l myself, know little about natural dancing. However, last Wedncsday night I was both entertained and amazed at the performance. In fact, along with several other hundred as equally impressed girls. I am making the plea that we have a program of natural dancers each year in the future.

Yours sincerely, A Student

Eggleston Heads Va. Historical

Lomnr.ssion Comments Tr-u' day night after the Christmas dinner the freshman Commission Will sponsor the -'Hanging of the Greens"—a custom observed in honor of the Christmas Mason by the college for a number of years. The greens, a profusion of running cedar, will be wound among the banister columns fiom first to third floor Rotunda. After this Christmas ea'ols "ill be sung.

This custom d I existed in the •im" of the Romans and was pa"an in oiiein. The Roman gods wi !!• Mij)|>u c(l t', h ' tided to hang evergreens in the hou es •:f those whom they favored with high esteem. The house of Peleus was thought to have been the first into which the gods entered and hung from the ceilings the greens But today we have borrowed this ancient custom and have given to it a new significance. The greens which we hane symbolize eternity: that is. that there is an infinite duration of life.

There is also another established practice which has b"r-n obscrv ed just before Christmas; namely the Japanese Bazaar, at which attractive gifts are sold. The Commission usually sponsors this activity, but this year there will be no bazaar.

We wish at this time to explain just why we are not having such.

Since the Y. W. C. A. is a Christion organization, we did not feel we should buy and sell articles of present day Japan. We fee1 that by boycotting Japan, we would not have even the smallest part in enabling them to wage w r. We did want to hold a baza u so we made plans at the beginning of school to put on a Mexican Bazaar. However we failed again due to the fact that we could get no cooperation whatsoever from the companies which sold Mexican articles. For the above reasons, we hope it will be clear just why we were unable to sponsor a bazaar.

In addition the straight and curved path, horizontal plane, tangles, fa'ls with percussion, etc.. were ■tressed. The latter group in particular brought "alls'' of admiration from the amazed onlookers.

And Other Vacation Fun In the timeworn bull sessions of college life, topics change with : the seasons—of boys, clothes or what-not. "Tis so today. We find on the minds of the majority of these babes of fortune Christmas thoughts—mostly what to give and what to prepare to get. The rustling of paper mystifies US greatly —in fact we are tempted to disgrace our superiority of years by peeping when we are frustrated by someone's entrance, upon which we immediately engage ourselves in some intensely interesting activity: but why go further—you know how it is.

Two weeks from last Sunday is Christmas day. There will be holly and mistletoe, joy. and laughter.

Hearts will be light, and the faces of little children bright with expectation. The spirit of Christmas is rampant today. We feel it. we see it on every side—and we hear it. too. We even smell it !n the cedar boughs of the Christmas tree. We welcome a time in which each of us on this vast earth's population has something in common with the other. All over the world we gather together to hear again a story which time doesn't age. to sing songs grown sweeter with singing, to keep the customs of Christmas.

I heard the bells that Christmas day Peal out in all their Joy And clearly pictured to myself The birth of Mary's Boy. Today the world will buy its gifts The world will hang its greens But in the uproar will the world Forget what "Christmas" means?

Knowing that many would be enthusiastic about the new dance after seeing the performance Wednesday night, I asked Miss Holm what steps should a girl take if she decides on modern dancing as a career. She suggested that the girl go to a studio in New York a*d take a regular course.

"It is hard work", she warned, with a wave of her expressive hands. "Many girls are going into the field now, but some get discouraged and drop out. The best as in all. keep on."

Suddenly I realized that it was time for her to go to a rehearsal.

And as she walked off I knew that I had been in the presence of a strong, intense personality.

"Cures, Foiled Again" Is Title of Melodrama Given In "Sing" Last Saturday The lights grew dim; the curtain parts. The audience sits tense waiting the enactment of the great medodrania or "Curses. Foiled Again."

A prologue, strangely comes fire and members of the cast introduced themselves and described

Learning that she is to be wealthy is quite a surprise to Isabel—and a shock, for she is to twenty-one at noon. Comes noon: so does her faithful hero. Jonathan Jumps, the laundry man; so does the money: and so docs the villainous villain in pursuit. The money, however, disappears with the villain, who. by the way. is a very extraordinary villain, havin not one hair of a mustache.
