SPECIAL ASSEMBLY FOR
FOREIGN JOURNALISTS
A group of fifteen foreign journalists, rep
resenting thirteen nations, who are touring
the United States under the auspices of the
Carnegie Endowment Jor World Peace, were
guests on Spelman campus Saturday, May 31,
at 9 a.m., when the students and faculty met
in Sisters Chapel for special assembly. Mr.
Kendall Weisiger of Atlanta presented the
guests to President Read and she in turn
introduced them by name to the assembled
students who sang some of their loveliest
melodies. Mr. Felix Salten of Austria was
greeted by the students with special ap
plause because of their acquaintance with
him through his book, “Bambi.”
Since the purpose of the tour is to make
an investigation of the social, political, edu
cational and economic conditions of this
country and especially the South, the guests
were invited to another assembly on the
lawn near Reynolds Cottage, where they were
addressed by colored educators and business
men of Atlanta, who outlined interesting en
terprises and developments that Negroes have
fostered and are fostering in the South and
especially in Atlanta. They presented to
these students of International problems the
social and economic status of the Southern
Negro.
FRESHMAN DEBATE
A joint enterprise of the Freshman stu
dents of European History and English Com
position was the debate they conducted Fri
day at 4 p.m. in Howe Memorial Hall.
Frankie Butler and Grace Ross were for the
affirmative and Velma Collier and Cora
Douthard, for the negative of the question,
Resolved: That the United States should join
the Permanent Court of International Jus
tice. The speeches showed careful study of
the question and were given with enough
spirit to make the program an interesting
one. Dorothy Hornsby, a Freshman, pre
sided. The negative were awarded the de
cision of the judges. There is promising
material for debating club next year.
Lottie Lyons, a twelfth grade student, who
participated in the Prize Essay Contest of the
American Chemical Society was awarded a prize
of $20.00 in gold for the best essay in this
year’s Prize Essay Contest in the State of

mencement season was the annual reception

their residence on Morehouse campus in
honor of the senior classes of Atlanta Uni
versity and Spelman and Morehouse col
leges ; the faculties of these institutions were
present.
As the guests entered the artistically ar
ranged rooms, the very atmosphere was a
welcome, for representatives from each of
the three institutions cordially directed the
guests according to their several appoint
ments. Those in the receiving line were Miss
Ethel McGhee, Student Adviser of Spelman
College; Dean and Airs. Archer, of Afore-
house College; Dean Whittaker, of Atlanta
University; President Read, of Spelman Col
lege, and President and Mrs. John Hope.
Delicious refreshments were served, after
wdiich an interchange of conversation com
pleted the delightful evening, the large com
pany overflowing to the veranda and the
beautifully lighted lawn.
A SPRING SOCIAL
By AIaf.nelle Dixon, ’32
The annual Y. W. C. A. spring social was
given in Giles Hall gymnasium, Saturday
evening, Alay 10. At 7:30 the truests assem
bled and seated themselves nonchalantly
around the room on benches. Drooping
branches hanging from each corner of the
room, bent tw'igs with leaves of a vivid green
hue and leaves scattered over the floor
blended to give a pleasing decoration for the
occasion.
The program began with the unique and
artistic portrayal of a skit—“The Elopement.”
Lillian Peck delighted the audience by the
presentation of a musical reading, “The Lion
and the Lamb.” The audience also sat
breathless when a glimpse was given into
Spelman campus life.
The social gaiety was suddenly changed
wRen Bernard Fitz and Alaenelle Dixon were
asked to lead the grand march. At the irre
sistible urge, the couples fell in line and were
whirled about the spacious room in many
directions. The dainty prints, chic organdies,
graceful forms and even the quaint loveli
ness of the scenery strengthened the impres
sion of charm for the spring social.
The rest of the time was spent in mixing
and conversation, while music was being
played. Hints of Home Sweet Home ended
an enjoyable evening.
The social was an indication of the crea
tive ability of the chairman of the social
committee, Margaret Johnson. Being mind
ful of the fact that one of the main requi
sites of a well-rounded college life is its
social life, the Y. W. C. A. has played its
part well by giving a happy ending to the
social activities for this year.
