Once there was a dog who had a fit every day and another dog who had a fu every other day. And then, sad to relate, the dog who had a lit every other day met an untimely end through an automobile accident. Another case of the survival of the fittest.
JUNIORS ADD BIG AMOUNT TO STUDENT BUILDING FUND Last week several posters appeared very mysteriously in the Reception Hall announcing a trip around the world; anyone could get a round trip ticket—go and see the countries and return all in one night. Only the date and place of starting were given, April 22, 1922, at 7::'»0 in the Auditorium. At Chapel Friday we saw "samples" of the countries; Hawaii was represented by Nellie Hardy, Spain by Mary Friend. Alice Lee Rumbough and Julia Cave followed as Japan, the twins, Mary and Martha Coulling, represented Holland, then came one of the first inhabitants of America, Ruth Shockley, with tomahawk and feathers, followed by the girl scout of today, Bernice Johnson. When we entered the Auditorium Sat urday night we found we were already in Spain. As the curtains rose we saw the balcony with the Spanish girl, Agnes Walker, in it, then Mary Friend, her lover, sang the Spanish Cavalier and danced to his lady. This was one of the best features of the program, as Mary Friend's dancing is always enjoyed by everyone. Next we entered Japan, in the "Y" Room. Cherry blossoms. Wisteria, Japanese umbrellas and lanterns with the dainty Japanese girls made one feel they were really in the "Land of Cherry Blossoms." There we were served tea and waffers in true Oriental fashion. The guide then took us to the Senior Parlor where Hawaii held sway. The Hawain girls in costume entertained with their ukeleles and singing. Up stairs we went to Holland in the drawing room. On the way we could not resist the temptation of having our fortunes told at one of the two tents. In Holland there were tulips, all colored tulips, every where. The Dutch gfaril sold "Near Beer" from a sure-enough keg. A very attractive Dutch dance was given. Home again we went. When we entered the Gym the Indians were dancing. Then the most attractive feature cams into view for there were the booths where we could buy sandwiches, candy, and lemonade. Then the piano started and every one danced until "lights out" rantf This entertainment was given by the Junior Class for the benefit of the Student Building Fund. The girls in charge of the different countries were: Genevieve Bonnlwell, Marion Sale. .Margaret Finch, Lovette Priddy, and Edna Blanton. Especially is credit due to Kitty Morgan, who had charge of the entire program and Florence .Miller, Junior Class President.
