1 thought that foreign children
Lived far across the sea,
Until 1 got a letter
From a boy in Italy.
“Dear little foreign friend,” it said
As plainly as could he.
And now I wonder which is foreign,
That other boy or me.

As had been anticipated, the visit on the
campus February 26th of Miss Anne Wig-
gin, International Student Secretary, was a
happy occasion for all. After speaking in
morning chapel services, Miss Wiggin visited
classes during the day, had conferences with
many girls, and was honor guest at the In
ternational Tea during the evening, which
was sponsored by the International Student
Club of the city.

The life and works of Frank Stanton, the
late poet laureate of Georgia, and George
Washington, the “father.of our country”,
was the theme of the “Y” vespers Sunday
evening, February 15th. Lillian Peck and
Juanita Jernigan gave the life sketches of
these two men, after which Bessie Mayle
sang, with much feeling, Mighty Lak a Rose
and Just Awearyin’ for You, by Mr. Stanton.

the Georgia Student Volunteer Conference,

International Dinner
The Annual International Dinner spon
sored by the Christian World Education
Committee of the Y. W. C. A. and held in
Morgan Hall, March 7, at 6:00 o'clock
brought together a large company of teach
ers and students from different colleges and
schools of the city as well as representa
tives from the National, Student, and City
branches of the Y. W. C. A.
The purpose of world-fellowship was quite
obvious throughout the evening as it was
clearly and attractively presented from the
printing of the programs in Chinese style
to the International menu, which consisted
of dishes from Hungary, Ireland, France,
Spain, England, Russia, and Turkey, cli
maxed by the typical American dish—ice
cream with a tiny American flag in the
center.
Quite appropriate were the brilliant cos
tumes worn by many representing the vari
ous nations. These added to the atmosphere
of the occasion.
Magnolia Dixon, chairman of the Christian
World Education Committee of the Y. W.
C. A., as mistress of ceremonies, read a tele
gram from President Head, who was out of
the city at that time, then announced the
program, which also carried out the theme.
Outstanding international features were:
the main address by Miss Sue Bailey, Na
tional Student Y. W. C. A. Secretary, who
launched the idea of some essentials of cos
mopolitanism by a story of how a number
of different modern nations evaluated an
elephant according to their own individual
and particular interests. Internationalism
consists in learning to be interested in the
values that another nation places on things
that may he of little or much value to us;
remarks by President John Hope of Atlanta
University, in which he pointed out the fact
(hat clothes have masked classes and social
groups. When we can value people at what
they are instead of by the costume they wear,
we shall he further on our way toward a
feeling of international brotherhood; the
folk dances from Holland, Russia, and
Japan; the African National Anthem, by a
group of African students; the talk by Mr.
Yamacoochi, a Japanese student from Emory
University.
Other numbers which were greatly enjoyed
were the Song of India, a violin solo by
Josie Jackson; Negro Spirituals, by the
S pel man Quartet, and two French Lullabies,
by Bessie Mayle. The program ended with
the singing of the Negro National Anthem.
International Tea
Magnolia Yvonne Dixon, ’31
Thursday evening, February 26th, the In
ternational Students Club of Atlanta, Ga.,
gave an International Tea from 5:00 to 6:00
o’clock in honor of Miss Ann Wiggins,
National Christian World Education Secre
tary. Laura Spelman Rockefeller Hall as
sembly room was beautifully decorated with
candles, floor lamps, feins, rugs, and chairs
grouped about the room informally. The yel
low candles, jonquils, and mints carried out
the color scheme.
Club members were allowed to invite a
specified number of guests. At the tea were
such distinguished people as Mrs. William
Fountain, Jr., and Dean Giles of Morris
Brown, Professor Brazeal of Morehouse Col
lege, Miss Eakin of Spelman, Miss Clinton
of Clark University, Miss Williams from the
City \. W. C. A., and Mrs. Wynn from
Y. W. headquarters, New York City.
Miss Wiggins has many friends at Spel
man, for, besides speaking on several occa
sions to the students, she was the speaker
last year at the International Dinner. Miss
Carol Blanton opened the program with a
medley of International songs; Mr. Osborne
Ntsinko, Chairman of the International Club,
gave a short talk on the club itself—what
it means and what it is doing; Miss Wiggins
had as the theme of her short talk, Inter
national Views of Shutouts. She reported
that a large group of students from various
countries of Europe met in France within
the last year to study international prob
lems. One result of that effort will be a
meeting that is planned for September, 1931,
to he held at Mount Holyoke College, to
which all races of the world are invited to
send i epresentati ves. Following her talk
there was a violin solo, Song of India, by
Miss Josie Jackson, after which the mem
bers of the club, with the visitors, sang the
(dub song, In Christ There- Is No Hast or
West.
Delicious sandwiches and hot cocoa were
served with cake and mints by girls in Inter
national costumes.
