ics, Industrial Art, Household Art,
Education, Dramatics, Science; Bi
ble. and Reading. Each one has its
value and aim.
Not only have we had lectures on
these subjects, but we have had
some intelligence tests. I have al
ways enjoyed these tests, but never
so much as 1 did this time. I felt
that I was now in college and surely
more was expected of me. The
whole thing was exciting and in
teresting. *:■ -
I have been helped ^intellectually,
but there* is another way in which
I have grown. The first Saturday
night, we were given a social and
had a chance to meet our class
mates and teachers on other
ground than purely intellectual
ones. We discovered some of the
talent in the class and thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves.
Was the Freshman week a suc
cess ? It was a perfect success. It
was not only helpful but enjoyable.
Ask the “Freshies”. They know
and will tell you that they don’t
see how other Freshmen become
adjusted to the college routine
without the “Freshman Week.”
We have not left out the^ relig
ious phase of school life. We had
our regular devotions every morn
ing and on Sunday morning all who
wanted to, had the privilege of at
tending Friendship Baptist Church
where Spelman was founded.
Now that I have been introduced
to college, I hope that I shall make
use of the opportunities, make
friends, and let college leave its
mark upon me.

YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION AT SPELMAN
Is the “Y” of Spelman College
going to be active this year?
Of course it is. It couldn’t be
anything else when the Freshmen
say it must be.
The membership is being in
creased greatly, both by the old
students and the Freshmen. We
are planning to have the largest
membership we have had since the
Y. W. C. A. has been confined to
the College Department. If we can
get quantity and quality, so much
the better, but, as our Dean says,
we must have the quality if quan
tity is left out.
Another reason that the “Y” on
our campus must be active is the
fact that the State Week End Con
ference is to be held here at Spel
man early in November.
Misses Roberts, Dobbs and
Smith brought us many splendid
ideas from the Talladega Confer
ence. We plan to put them into use
immediately.
We hope to have as many as a
dozen girls attend Talladega Con
ference next spring, and to do so
we must begin planning for this,
now. Some time in November we
expect to hold a Carnival-Bazaar.

THE CAMPUS MIRROR
The members of the Campus
Mirror staff, with their motto,
“Service in Unity” always in mind,
hope to make this year’s “Mirror”
mirror everv fine thing on Spelman
campus. With the interest and aid
of students and faculty members,
we feel sure that we shall be able
to do it.
SENIOR HIGH NOTES.
The High School Senior Class,
forty-four in number, began this
term’s work with splendid zeal and
enthusiasm. We have not forgot
ten the dignity that has been so
prevalent in past senior classes; we
are iust allowing ourselves time to
realize that we are seniors at last.
One enthusiastic group of sen
iors was found trying to decide the
number of invitations they needed
and how their class pins should be
worn. Wouldn’t it be a wise idea
if we should think of geography
and dates rather than invitations
and pins, knowing how perfectly
blank our principal found us on the
former subject. Of course, you’ll
agree!
Each member has made the de
termination to have our senior
class the best yet. And what, with
such a splendid group of teachers
and co-workers, can prevent us
from doing so?
Scraps From Sagacious Seniors.
A certain too-wise student pro
ceeded to take the monthly chemis
try test with light heart and high
spirit. Thinking the test very easy,
she soon finished and told the class
she had “done fine.” The next day
in Laboratory “42” mocked at her
from the top of the test paper and
as a result she is now suffering
from failure (heart).
Which goes “faster,” J. S. or the
clock she carries with her?
