HONORARY MEMBER SOPHOMORE CLASS STUDENT COMMITTEE ENTERTAIN DR. JARMAN Birthday Banquet Given in the Tea Room.—Few Guests of Honor Present When the birthday of one whom we all love approaches, the very at-1 Biosphere tingles with apprehension.

Surely, the students smile more often, for it is the birthday of one who is' pitied supremely n the art of nailing. Surely, our hearts expand with gratitude for nil goodness and unlimited faith In "his girls;" and, we know that another year has added it's bit to his already illustrious name in our state and country.

Last Thursday night, the Student

Committee entertained Dr. Jarman at a Birthday Banquet in the Tea Room.

Besides Dr. and .Mrs. Jarman, other honored gUOSta were Miss Mary White Cox and Mis- .Jennie Masters Tabb.

The tables were arranged in triangular form and, in the center, pine bough- were banked about a basket of great lavendar chrysanthemums.

Shaded lights, candles in candlesticks joined with tulle, and most attractive place <anl- completed the decorations.

Davi "d Mebane Hunt entei tamed frith MTeral solos.

Ettr.

Mai-hall kept broad smiles on the faces <>f the "august" body with her reading Of "Willie's First Dress Suit" from Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen."

During the evening the Student Committee sang to the guests, with a fitting climax of the invariable and beloved "What's the Matter With Jarman?"

Oh. yes! There was a Birthday cake! And here's what brought joy to our hearts. You remember that last year Dr. Jarman's Birthday cake had sixteen candles on it. Well, this year we decided that the fitting and proper thing would be to grace the cake with seventeen candles. But do you know—one failed to light! Dr. Jarman wondered about the significance of that fact. But I know, and you know—that Dr. Jarman just can't get older. Years may pass, but he is only sixteen, the most enviable ago in the span of a lifetime.

Sweet Sixteen—Now and Always.!

DR. JARMAN PRESENTED WITH CAP AND GOWN Last Friday morning belonged to Freshmen, Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors alike for it was Dr. Jarman's birthday.

After the Seniors marched in, Virginia Vincent, president of the student body, presented to Dr. Jarman a cap and gown.

This was not a hint to him to be more dignified, but a token from the student body to express their love for | president who has done much for their good and happiness.

THANKSGIVING AT S. T. ( .

-0Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. With this season always comes an attitude of thankfulness—just what we should have at this time.

We think over ail the things we are thankful for personally, such as health, happiness, friendship, home and for numerous other things that effect us personally or in relation to our home group.

However, in this yearly repetition of thankfulness we often overlook those things which effect us the most al school.

Why worry and grouch about our wanting to go home, especially when we know we can't, when such a line attitude could be maintained? Ha\e you ever stopped to think of the good effects of Thanksgiving on the school? Let us think of a few.

To have a wide-awak ol it is necessary to have a wideawake class, with an endless supply of class spirit and enthusiasm.

What could contribute more to this than Thanksgiving Day? For davs before thai "eventful Thursday" every class is making plans and whispering little bits of advice around which might help make thai o rticular class accomplish more from the minute the six o'clock bell rings until ten-thirty or eleven that night.

The spirit is high and everyone has her class first and foremost in her mind.

Surely there was no more confusion among the rats of Hamelin than among the rats of S. T. C. during the first three days of this term.

One thing is certain: the rats of S. T. C. are stronger than the morel famous ones of Hamelin. for only one of them was left alive, while all of us are still here and swimmin' on!

A long, long time ago when our . who came over from Engd on the Mayflowi r, were struglg their hardest to break and sete this new country. Thanksgiving Pay first had its origin. Immedifl after their first harvest in Plymouth. he Pilgrims set apart a day on which thanks for the gooil harvest were returned. Since then the custom has id in some parts of Europe and all over the United Slate.-. Many of our presidents sit aside a definite day the celebration, but it was not until the time of Lincoln's office that the fourth Thursday in November was set aside as the day for the giving of thanks. Since then we have kept that day apart from the other thre hundred and sixty-four days of the year.

I presume that in the back of all 11' our minds the bit of knowledge that this day is holy, lies asleep. Of lonne we have heard that various of >ur churches hold services on Thanksgiving and all that sort of thing. But how many of us have considered that lay in especial connection with ourselves? Of course we know that there are any amount of things for which we should be thankful, and yet most of us take these things more or less for granted. I am pretty certain that the shades of our historical fathers would certainly rise up and do an ultra-modern version of the Charleston if they could see more of the TEACHERS PENSION TO BE present-day versions of Thanksgiv M BJECTOF DISCUSSION Day.

ON HAVING BIRTHDAYS There is one thing in this old world of ours thai is absolutely Inevitable. Everyone has it, everyone has had it since time began. It first comes the day one is born, and it continues to COflie with the regularity nf an eight daycloclt beat until the day one departs from this earth.

There is no avoiding such a thing, ami one goes through with it as regularly as with the mumps and measles of childhood contagion, and much more frequently.

This "thing" of which I am speaking is ... a birthday! A birthday means the day on which one puts in B onal appearance in the play of life; and usually it is a day of gladm M mixed with sentiment for the celebrated holder. It is lovely to note how people seem suddenly to appreciate one and how glad they are to wish one happiness on this "day of days"!

In one's own secret heart there is a warm, golden glow because of the smallest attentions and affections which are prevalent during

a birthday.

Hut sometimes there is another, yes, quite another aspect to this birthday business. An aspect which most women know only too well,—and how they wish they didn't! I have just experienced it. and I know how it feels to find the first gray hair! Saturday I awoke with the feeling that something was aout to happen, and that feeling was accompanied by a tingling around the vicinity of my heart. Then I suddenly realized that I was on the morn of my twentieth birthday, and my spirits fell with an audible thud. It was even raining outside, a state of afffairs which I considered quite appropriate for the into my mirror to see if I had become pray over night; but no, I still had brown hair, and no wrinkles!

That cheered me up, and I later realized that I felt no older than the ■ lay before, and pretty soon forgot my ape in the happiness of receiving good wishes. Now I am a firm believer in birthdays, and think that one should be allowed at least two a year—counting backwards!
