the method of co-operation.”
l)r. Nabrit, president of the General Mission
ary Baptist Convention of Georgia, said: “Keep
a merry heart. Sing and be happy while you
work.”
I)r. Alexander, director of the Interracial
Commission, was also introduced.
After chapel the students met in their re
spective class rooms to report for real work.

the opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the campus, buildings, faculty, hall matrons
and with other students.
Special efforts were made to introduce the
breshmen to the spiritual, mental, physical
and social phases of college life. The re
ligious talks, the solemn and sacred morning
devotions, and a visit to Friendship Baptist
Church in the basement of which “beloved
Spelman” was founded—all created a feeling
that religion should have a definite place in
educational growth.
In order that students may measure up to
their best abilities they must he physically
fit. Therefore, the Freshmen were given
physical examinations to discover defects
that would tend to hinder their entering
whole-heartedly into campus activities.
Being mindful of the fact that all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy, provisions
were made for devoting some time to recre
ation. Among these were the Freshman So
cial and Stunt Night.
Now the Freshmen, the class of 1932, have
learned the main requisites of a well-rounded
college life, and they do not feel so “green”’
after all.
Campus Gossip on Changes
(Continued from Page 2)
I.aura Dickinson came tripping down the hall
with her bunch of keys and frightened them
aw r ay.
The room was filled with laughter.
"Remember girls, ‘a voice ever soft.’”
“Doesn’t the laundry seem strange without
Miss Dodge?” said Alice.
"Do not worry about that.” interrupted
Dorothy. "Miss Ringer is a fine matron
and Miss Dodge is an especially fine college
housekeeper. If you don’t believe so, go
around and inspect the buildings.”
"Dorothy, I suppose you think I am a
question box, but if } r ou don’t know anjr-
thing, the best way to find out is to ask.
Alice wants to know, but is too prim to ask.
What is Giles used for?”
"I have already said that the basement is
used for gym; then on first floor we find
High School class rooms. All of the teach
ers have moved from the third floor to va
rious places on the campus. Most of them
are residing at Bessie Strong, which has been
turned into a teachers’ home.”
“By the way girls, you must see the presi
dent’s cottage. It is being renovated and
I believe when it is finished it will be the
most beautiful building on the campus. She
really deserves it. Don’t you think so?”
“Life in the college dormitories is grand,”
said Alice, “the freshmen feel better this
year living with the upperclassmen rather
than in a separate dormitory.”
"Really, Ophelia and Alice, all of the
changes are for our advancement, and I feel
because of them this will he the most pleas
ant year we have spent on the campus. Do
not let it slip carelessly away.”

tion. She will also direct virgin classes.
In addition to these courses there will be
the added features of choruses and instru
mental ensembles. Instruction in orchestral
instruments is to be given.
The department, in thus broadening its
scope, is working toward a definite ideal: Ev

Home Economics, under Miss Hawkins
and Miss Davis, continues in a very quiet
and dignified way to convert more and more j
students to Home Economics majors. Wheth- !
er the students who have chosen this course
are going to use their training in their own
homes, or in teaching—has not been an
nounced.
Miss Taylor’s Religious Education groups
are doing all sorts of astonishing things. Al
ready her ninth graders have traveled rather
extensively in Palestine. They plan to write
up some of their tours for the “Campus Mir
ror.”
High School Music, under Miss Webster
and Miss Haymon offers enjoyment and im
provement to each girl. There is assuredly
“music in the air” at Giles and Packard!
The advent of showers and lockers in the
basement of Giles has enhanced the always
enjoyable Physical Education classes. Miss
Dupuy wasted no time in getting the girls
'lined up!”
