THE CAMPUS MIRROR SATURDAY VISITORS By FAXXIE THOMAS Open House at Spelman is the great talk on the campus all the day Saturday. “Are you going to have a call?” or “Is Jack call ing today?" or "I am going to have a caller today.” "Oh! What shall I wear?” “My pink dress has too much lace in the neck, and I don't like it; and the green dress is entirely too long; and that lavender dress— it's too cool for that,” and after all, we end up in wearing one of the three. After dinner is over, we hurry to our halls to put the finishing touches to every article that is to he worn during the after noon, even our hair. Then we prepare our- selves for the grand affair. We have to begin dressing ahead of time so as to be ready on time. Our hall mother likes us to be on time, always. After we are dressed, the time is so short, yet it seems so long; and, while we wait, all sorts of questions pop up in our minds. “Suppose he doesn’t come?” or “Suppose there is another person who prevented his coming after he promised to come?” And, just when we are almost absorbed in these thoughts, we hear the tripping up the steps and it seems that a long way off we can hear a faint sound that says: “Sallie Jones, you have a call.” She gets up and looks in the glass, primps for the last time; then she goes a-tipping down the stairs. After we greet the friend, we introduce him to our hall mother; then we take a seat and begin to converse. One will keep won dering how much longer he is going to stay, yet you know the time, to some, seems very limited, because two hours, just to sit and talk is a very long time. Finally, five o’clock comes and the lights go off and come on again. Well, I will make a long story short—that’s leaving time ; and really, after that, the callers don’t hesitate. \\ e all get up, and, if they had hats or coats we get them out of the hall mother’s room, Medlock’s Pharmacy Incorporated PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS 'Where Lee and Gordon Meet” DRUGS TOILET ARTICLES MAGAZINES ICE CREAM CANDIES Phones: WEst 0296-0297 "We Appreciate Your Patronage” The NEW-COMERS CAMPUS MIRROR Presents “PASSING OF THE THIRD FLOOR BACK” A Three-Act Play HOWE MEMORIAL CHAPEL— SPELMAN COLLEGE January 11, 1929 7:30 P.

Some of the afternoons are well spent, and some are very boresome. A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Immediately after supper on November 12, the college students stole quietly under the dining room window of Reynolds Cottage; then voices burst forth in the song, “Happy Birthday.” , The window was quickly raised and there stood Miss Read smiling and bowing to the girls as if greatly surprised. A message of greeting and good wishes was handed to her, and the singers slipped away as quietly as they had come. Miss Frisby (during the week of prayer) —Now can someone tell me what is the sub ject of the chapels this week? Tenth grader: The fall of the medieval church. They came unasked and unwelcomed and we might say right here that we were a bit surprised when they first greeted us. They seem to be a happy group, though they can act unpleasantly when treated unkindly. If I were asked the most outstanding char acteristic of this interesting group of new comers I would without a moment’s hesi tation say: “They are a busy and indus trious group.” This would be true be cause one never sees a member of this numerous band idle. They are always go ing or coming and they are going some where and coming somewhere. They work diligently from morning 'till night, never stopping to rest. ’Tis here that we might learn the lesson of diligence and perseverance from these active and conscientious ones. “Where do they stay?” Well, to name the specific places of their habitation would require too much space so I’ll just say “ev erywhere” for so far they have engaged quarters from the cottage to the laundry. They are even the first to greet you in the post office, and they never miss a meal in the dining room. There is never a cause for hard feelings between the dining rooms because one never has to be denied the presence of these guests while the other is honored with it; there are always enough of them to keep each amply supplied. There is one thing that I do not like about these new-comers and I’m afraid you will not like it, either. They are an inquisitive bunch. They were the first to peep or at tempt to peep inside of the many Thanks giving boxes and they often prowl around rooms after the owners have gone to school. They work quietly and steadily, thus accom plishing much. I am sure that if these new inhabitants had registered as students there would have been some well prepared les sons in this college. Oh, who are they? You mean these new comers? Well, “Go to the ‘ant’ thou slug gard.” We Clean Everything From a Glove to a Carpet keep U neat SERVICE HATS CLEANED AND BLOCKED Cash and Carry 20% Discount 597 Lee St., S. W.
