THE CAMPUS MIRROR
THE ANNUAL MID-YEAR
SOCIAL
By Maknelle Dixon, ’32
An important intercollegiate event of the year
was the annual Spelman-Morehouse College
social held on Spelman campus, Monday even
ing, January 27 at 8 o’clock in Howe Memorial
Hall.
Miss McGhee, Miss, Read and the presidents
of the four college classes stood in line to re
ceive the guests and offer a hearty welcome.
The guests then passed through a gate into a
wide open space that suggested a spring garden,
a place surrounded by a neat white fence on
which trailed a decoration in valentine colors
with heart-shaped ornaments. In the center of
the garden was a well and occasional benches
were in the space without. The lights from the
floor lamps blended with the red and white
colors to give a richer tone.
Everybody was happy and mingling in conver
sation when the program was changed by signal
for the grand march which was led by Ella
Peters and Eugene White. The beautiful and
well-selected evening gowns and the sombre
suits of the men completed the pleasing color
effects of the scene and made the place seem
like a great labarynth full of beautiful fairies.
Margaret Johnson as mistress of ceremonies,
announced the program:
Skit—“The Impertinence of the Creature,” by
Lillian Peck and Annie Hudson.
Solo—Bessie Mayle.
Musical Drill by High School Group.
Every number was a delight. Popular music
played at intervals added a touch of informality.
Refreshments, served in cafeteria style from
an adjoining room, consisted of red and white
ice cream and red heart-shaped cakes and candy.
Much credit for the success of the affair is
due to the committees that planned it all, es
pecially to the chairmen : Lillian Peck, in charge
of decorations; Margaret Johnson of the pro
gram; Edyth Tate, of refreshments, and Mae-
nelle Dixon, of the checking system.
At hints of “Home Sweet Home” each col
lege sang its college song and another “Annual”
was over.
A FRESHMAN TEA
The Home Economics sections of the College
Freshman class under the instruction of their
teacher, Miss Kugel, sponsored two teas, one on
the 11th and one on the 18th of January. They
were class projects that were given for the pur
pose of practicing the social usages and niceties
of entertaining that the classes had been study
ing.
1 he students assumed the responsibility of
furnishing everything and of choosing and in-
it.ng their guests. The teas were given in the
beautiful apartment of Miss Kugel in the House
Economics building—a perfectly appointed place
for such affairs.

The “Y”, as every other activity on the cam
pus, has begun the new semester with a bang!
a boom! a smile, a laugh and an enthusiastic
jump into the work of the next five months.
At the last cabinet meeting each member pre
sented her plans for the semester. These were
interesting and helpful; hence many pleasing
surprises await the campus for the next se
mester.
Dreams have come true and wishes are to be
realized, for the “Y” is going to bring to the
campus, as the guest of the faculty and, es
pecially, of the whole student body, Miss Anne
Wiggins, an executive of the International Fel
lowship Committee of National Headquarters.
Miss Wiggins will arrive in time for the Inter
national dinner.
Christian World Education is beginning to be
a main issue in all of the associations of the
city through the splendid efforts of Cassandra
Maxwell, the chairman of our C. W. E. Com
mittee.
The “Y” social committee, of which Margaret
Johnson is chairman, will sponsor a movie Feb
ruary 28, at 6 :30 P. M. They solicit the hearty
support of the campus.
Frances Callier and the members of her music
committee are planning a music hour for our
next holiday.
A very happy occasion was the breakfast
given for the cabinet by our Student Adviser
Sunday morning, February 2, at 7:30 o’clock.
Business was mixed with pleasure when a
regular round-table discussion was held during
the meal. The appetizing menu was:
Oranges
Hot Rolls Toasted Cheese Butter
Eggs Cocoa Bacon
Saturday afternoon, February 2, the Inter
national Student Club held an interesting meet
ing at Gammon Theological Seminary. Among
the enjoyable features of the afternoon were
the speeches by the different foreigners on

A VISIT TO BUSINESS
FIRMS
By Matilda McMahon, ’32
Through the courtesy of the Industrial Group
Committee of the Spelman Y. W. C. A. of
which Elise Oliver is chairman, an invitation
was extended to all students of the college to
go, January 24, on a tour of Auburn Avenue,
which is situated on the northeastern section
of the city of Atlanta, Ga., for the purpose of
visiting some of the business firms owned and
conducted by Negroes. Eight girls were able
to go, and Mrs. Banks from Prairie View,
Texas, who has been the guest of her sister,
Miss Perry on Spelman Campus, kindly acted
as chaperon for the party.
Arriving at a specified point in the business
section the party was joined by Mr. William
Kelley of Atlanta, who by previous appoint
ment acted as guide throughout the tour.
The first place visited was a barber shop
where the proprietor told interesting facts con
cerning his business progress. He stated that
business was duller than usual because of a
break in patronage due to the change of style
in ladies’ hairdressing from bobbed to long.
The next place visited was a modernly ar
ranged and well furnished dry goods store in
which ladies’ and men’s clothing and household
necessities are kept. The friendly proprietor
showed the tailoring department and mean
while gave interesting hints as to the advance
ment and growth of the store during twenty
years. He also stated that he had supplied
tailored wedding suits for men for many years.
This is said to be the largest and best-equipped
dry goods store on Auburn Avenue.
The florist shop, next door, had on display
wreaths and beautiful flowers which were ar
ranged so attractively that no one of the group
failed to stop and admire.
Arriving at the Herndon Building, the party
were carried by elevator to the fourth floor
to visit the Atlanta School of Social Work.
First they were received by Mr. Washington,
the director of the school, who told them in
teresting things about social work and of the
