DEBATERS WIN FIRST MEET

STATE

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENTELECT

practically no effort the junior volley ball team met the sophomores and finally won two out of three games which gave them the volley hall championship for this year. The first game ended 17—11 in favor of the juniors, the second 17 12 in favor of sophomores and the third and final game 19 -N in favor of the juniors.

This final volley hall was one of the Deal exhibitions of clean, fast volley ball that has ever been played at S. T. C. The battles w, re close and hard.

The semi-finals between the seniors and juniors the day before was slow and uninteresting. However, the semifinals between the sophomores and freshmaq was closer and displayed j

more skill.

Those who played on the various teams are as follows: Freshmen: Hardy, Fleming. Hutchinson, Reed. McCoy, Forrest, Sturgis and Simpson.

Sophomores: Hatchcu, Smith, Carter, Armstrong, Byrd, Gary, Campbell. Fisher and Gurley.

Juniors: Woods, Hardy, Wilkinson.

Large Audience Hears Noted Lecturer On Friday, March 30th. the students of S. T. C. again had the opportunity of bearing a lecture by one of the foremost critics of today—Dr. Richard Burton.

Those who were able to hear Dr. Burton lecture last year know already of the man who had M quickly won their esteem. Dr. Burton through a sympathetic Interpretation of his subject interspersed with dry humor won over again a large audience in his lecture on "Fiction of the Year" Talking as he did on so vital a Bubjecl in this present world of ours he touched a common chord of interest in all of his listeners.

"Books are men and women talking to us through life," declared Dr. Burton.

He considered that the books chosen by one would tend to reveal the personality, tastes and ideas of that particular person. "There are books for our serious moods", he said '•»hu hooka foi oa, rioter moods."

But in the reading of any book Dr. Burton thinks that a person must possess—and does possess to some extent—a "sympathetic imagination."

Dr. Burton considers that the fiction of the past year produced in America is superior to that of English production. He touched on several outstanding English novelists—Galsworthy, Arnold Bennett. H. G. Wells.

Of the latter, he said, "H. G. Wells has long ceased to be a novelist. He is a splendid story teller, but it seems that he now prefers a discussion of social problems connected with our society."

Dr. Burton then lauunched into a discussion of the most recent books of American publication. Dr. Burton considers that a book to be a success must come up to these two standards: first, the book must be written on a subject vital to the human race; second, it must be written in first-class

The theme of the Y. W. C. A. conference, held at R. M. W. C. from March SO to April 1 was "1 am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly."

The principal speaker was Dr. Geiger, professor of philosophy at William and Mary College.

After a delightful banquet Friday evening, Dr. Geiger sounded the theme in an inspirational talk on the "Quintessence of Religion." His adIdreSS was a very enlightening one and many new thoughts were derived from it.

Saturday morning the discussion was opened by Miss Young, who led devotions. In following the discussions on "Quintessence of Religion" .Dr. Geiger discussed the "More Abundant Life"—the natural outcome of MARGARET FINCH \ his former discussion.

Undoubtedly the most important thought in the minds of Headquarters for S. T.

Ever since the beginning of school this year we have been

realizing more and more the difficulty of working in the library because of the scarcity of reference books. Our library is rather inadequate for BO large a number of students, but we by our noncooperation have been making conditions worse. Students, generally, respond to any suggestion for Improving conditions for the sake of the larger group If they are appealed to in the right way. However, they become careless and think only of getting their own work done, sometimes, especially when they see that others are not cooperating. In order to have a well ordered and efficient library everyone must cooperate in making it function well.

The student body showed at the meeting called recently by Dr. Jarman that they are willing to cooperate in bettering the library situation. Being willing is the first step. The next is "to remember not to forget" to return books to the library. Another is to read in the library books that are one reference, whenever possible, and never to take out a book without having it charged. If everyone takes these three simple steps—and we have already taken one of them—do you think we will have in our library many books that cannot be found?

At last she was tired. With her heart full of fear, She sat under a tree. Down her cheek stole a tear.

Then suddenly she heard a queer little sound And springing to her feet, turned quickly around.

How a girl can do the work Louise does and still maitain one of the highest scholastic records in school is something to wonder at.

At present she is with Alice Wiley in Ohio where they are making a record for our college in a national debate tournament. It was said of her in North Carolina when she debated there that she was one of the best woman orators who had ever spoken from the platform.

was held arouml a delightful open fire a 11 the girls who had been to Blue Ridge told of the grand times had there and also taught some of the Blue Ridge songs to the group. The refreshments added a great deal to the spirit of the group.

Sunday morning after devotions by .Miss Young, Dr. Geiger talked on •Spiritual By-Products".

From this talk we were led to think more about she meaning of eternal life, and after talking it over, came to the conclusion that eternal life comes as a natural result of living our own lives in a natural association with our fellow beings in fellowship with Jesus; and not as a result of a search for it.

Following this address. Miss Young led a discussion on the real meaning of life, the joys of life, the reasons for living as full a life as possible, and what a full life really is.

After a short recess more group discussions were held much on the order of the previous ones.

The last important meeting was held Sunday afternoon, at which the new purpose for the year was discussed. Everything has a climax; this conference found it's climax in the last meeting. The new purpose, the all infolding one was interpreted by Miss Young with our help in suggesting what the purpose meant to us.

If you will read between the lines of this new purpose you will see that we, as members of the Y. W. C. A. have a tremendous task before us.

The purpose is: (1) "We unite in the desire to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God." (2) "We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him." This will be a great adventure into new fields of endeavor and strength to meet this adventure came to us in the candle service which followed.

With the lighting of our candles in prayer and the singing of "Follow the Gleam" with the realization that Christ's promise to be with those in spirit who are gathered together in His name, with the feeling of fellowship among us, we obtained the courage to carry on with our new purpose "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit," saith the Lord of Hosts.
