GLEE CLUB GIRLS ENJOY THEMSELVES AT AMELIA

IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED BY THE ALUMNAE JUNE NINTH To the Alumnae:

A large audience heard the Glee Club Girls in Amelia, Saturday night, April 5 at 8:30.

We do not know how the people of Amelia enjoyed the concert. In fact not a single girl has mentioned it. They have mentioned, however, how they did enjoy Amelia. At every turn you hear them rave about the food in particular, Evelyn Barnes' party, and just everything in general. Prom hints drop|>ed here and there, it is expected that many Amelia cars will be jwirked in front of school on Sunday afternoons hereafter.

It might be that the people of Amelia asked them shall we say for politeness—to sing at Sunday School and Church? Anyway they Ming.

The girls spent the night at various homes in the community. They returned Sunday evening

The president of the Alumnae Association wishes to bring to the attention of the Alumnae the following important work which will be taken up at the biennial meeting on June ninth : First—At the last biennial meeting, the association decided that the constitution needs revision. The president has appointed a committee which is at work now revising the Constitution.

This Committee will rejxirt at the June meeting.

Will not each alumnae give her thought to this imjxjrtant item of business and come prepared to help in forming a strong constitution under which the work of the alumnae will continue to

about five o'clock.

HONORS AWARDED The faculty voted upon the girls considered for the honors for this year. They took into consideration not only the academic and teaching grades, but also each girl's participation in school activities. The decision was a close one, but the honors were awarded to Alice Lee RumDOUgh and Dorothy Askew of the Second Professional Class and to Elizabeth Moring and Mary Nichols of the Fourth Professional Class.

Miss Moring will rentier the Valedictory, and Miss Kumlxnigh the Salutatory address at commencement, 8J the first honor girls of the graduation classes.

We certainly are proud of all of the girls and wish to congratulate them most heartily.

grow ?

Second—The time is at hand when we must have the services of a paid alumnae secretary.

As a result of our participation in a big unifying piece of work—the raising of the Student Building Fund, our association is more closely united now than it has been for years. If we continue to grow in our united strength, we must have some one to keep us in touch with one another and with the school. In the past the work of the association has been carried on by j>eople who are obligated to other work and who have done the work of the association in spare moments.

It has grown to such an extent that this policy can no longer be followed if we really want to enter the almost unlimited field of power and usefulness which is before us.

Third—We need to adopt some plan for financing the association with an active membership of over twenty-five hundred and an associate membership of about four thousand, it should be quite easy to put the association upon a solid financial basis. A small annual membership due will be the means of doing this, if we can have these dues paid regularly.

Fourth—In order to handle funds, to carry on the business which will come to us as we strengthen our organization, it is necessary for us to take steps to have the association incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia.

This matter should receive Attention at the forthcoming meeting.

Fifth—Our association has been invited to become affiliated with the Southern Women's Educational Alliance. We should take some action on this invitation at this time.

Sixth—The question of adopting the practice of holding annual meetings instead of the plan of holding biennial meetings as in the past will be submitted to the association. In connection with this, plans for class reunions will be discussed.

Miss Klizabeth Moring has been chosen as the May Queen for the coming May Festival which will be held on the afternoon of May 9. She will have as her maids, Misses Anna Belle TreaApparently, the government has decided that kle, Ford Eubank, Pauline Timberlake and Eliz- the way to make sugar cheap and plentiful is to abeth Williams. raise coin.

It is a great pleasure to me to have the opportunity, through the pages of the RoTUNDA, to extend a very cordial invitation to the Alumnae to return to your Alma Mater for the biennial meeting of the Association on June ninth.

No institution really lives if it does not live in the hearts of its Alumnae and I feel justified in saying that nowhere in this country can there be found more loyal and loving Alumnae than ours, and through them the institution renders an invaluable service to society and the State.

And while we glory in this loyalty of our graduates, I wish to say to them that their Alma Mater is as loyal to them as they are to her and that she looks forward with genuine and heartfelt pleasure to the biennial home-coming of her daughters.

We arc anxious to have every one who can possibly come; we not .only want to give you the pleasure of a visit to your Alma Mater and an Opportunity of seeing again your old friends and classmates, but we ourselves want and need the inspiration of your presence. We want to be assured that your interest in the School is vital enough to make you -want to come, Trusting that we shall have the pleasure of welcoming the largest number that has ever returned for an Alumnae meeting, I am Cordially yours, J. L. Jarman.
