THE CAMPUS MIRROR
VESPERS, SEPT. 30, 1928
The first chapel sermon of this year by
Rev. Howard Thurman, a new member of
the Morehouse-Spelman faculty, was upon
the subject, "How Can I Best Make An Ade
quate Disposition of My Life?” The three
ways in which the Master defied the Tempt
er in the wilderness were used as examples
of how we may be tempted to use our powers
and opportunities, and of how we may wise
ly resist such temptations.

THE “SPIRIT OF SPELMAN”
Onlookers have seen the “Spirit of Spel
man'’ soar into the air from its vast Vaca
tion Field. Three hundred passengers ambi
tious and full of vigor cover nine months
time and many counties. The first country
has many important places that will be vis
ited in order to make the rest of the trip
enjoyable to the fullest degree. Some of
these places are—the Campus Mirror sub
scription office, the Y. W. C. A. and Chris
tian Endeavor Membership Committees, the
Debating Club, the Story-Telling Club and
various others.
Ask any of these three hundred why this
trip interested them and they will tell you
that it was because of the embodiment of
certain ideals in the “Spirit of Spelman”—
loyalty, co-operation, good sportsmanship
and sympathetic understanding.
Thelma B. Brown, '29.
THE STORY-TELLING
CLUB
By LOIS DAVENPORT
The Wheatley-Fauset Story Telling Club
was organized in 1927 from what had been
the Wheatley-Fauset Literary Society.
The students meet every first and third
Thursday of the month. The subjects taken
up at these meetings are reproductions of
stories, books and novels.
The object of the club is to teach one to
feel at ease before an audience and to tell
stories from great literature. Those who are
interested in this work are urged to become
members. There is no fee. All are wel
come.
Last year the club gave one splendid public
program, but this year, being a bit older, it
hopes to do bigger and better things. Watch
for notices of these meetings.
I LAUGH WHEN I THINK THAT—
A certain senior’s highest ambition seems to
be to learn the combinations of all the boxes
in the P. O.—I wonder why?
Some girls cannot learn their box combina
tions.
I saw two old-girls trying to see Miss Ever-
ingham in Miss Rockefeller’s office and after
failing to accomplish this “miracle,” stepped
down to the Registrar’s office and asked for
two bars of Palmolive soap and a Baby Ruth.
An eager “Freshie:” How is that ice water
in the fountain heated ?
That Wise ’Ole Soph: Cooled, my dear. You
will insist on making mistakes.
New student to girl who has been here seven
years: I will show you the way to your
hall. I hope you will like our college.
