“Babbit "! Who doesn't remember that
cheerful, greeting of Mr. E. (). Pilgrim who
addressed the student body in chapel
Thursday morning, October 1. Mr. Pilgrim
is a native of British Guiana, a graduate
from the University of London and a
teacher of mathematics and history in
Queen College, British Guiana. He and his
daughter have been visiting points of inter
est in America and he, alone, found oppor
tunity to visit Spelman College. What a
rare treat it was to hear Mr. Pilgrim talk
in his charming manner about British
Guiana and the customs of its inhabitants.
The fore word, “rabbit”, is a magic
word. If a person in British Guiana desires
good luck and happiness, as soon as he gets
up in the morning on the first day in the
month, before he says anything else, he
must say “ Rabbit”. One may wish a friend
good luck in this manner, also. Hence, Mr.
Pilgrim addressed us with the magic word
before he said anything else, since the date
was October 1.
The educational system in British Guiana
is of a high rank. The government provides
schools for boys only, and stiff examina
tions are given before a student is allowed
to pass to a higher grade or school.
Sciences, mathematics, geography, and his
tory are stressed. Instead of the students
passing at the end of a class period (forty
minutes) to various other classes, the
teachers pass. Very good English is spoken
there even by the younger generation.
Concerning the natural history of his
country, the rivers there are much bigger
than ours; in fact, some are often twenty
miles wide. The highest falls in the world
are located here—the Kaitur Falls, which
are five times higher than the Niagara
Falls.
Mr. Pilgrim stated that a person who
hasn't sufficient money stands a poor
chance of attending an English University.
These universities are less accommodating
to humble people who wish to work their
way up than are American colleges.
A very true maxim which he used in clos
ing says, ‘‘He who runs to catch the train,
must not stop to tie up his shoes.” The
simplest person could perhaps, discern the
meaning, but the wisest ofttimes fail to
heed it.
Spelman College was happy to have such
an interesting visitor, and hopes that he will
come again.
Miss Read in New York

Committee of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.,

I he Owls of 1932
The class of 1932— forty-two strong—has
begun this year with all the aspiration and
hopes seniors could possess. Having been
associated with the Owl, we hope to prove
by our actions that we are as wise as any
owls and with our wisest judgments to
support all uplifting and worthy ideals of
Spelman College.
I he Class of 33
Ercell Powell, ’33
With undaunted courage the class of ’33
has set forth on the third year of its college
course. It is forty-eight strong, having three
new members: Grace Hogue, Ophelia Grayer,
and Elnora Hayes. The juniors not only hope
to follow the paths of the classes that have
gone before, in all things commendable, but
they also hope to explore new areas of learn
ing and establish noble standards for their
followers. With such ambitions it is only
to be expected that this class will by the
end of the year 1931-32 be able to measure
for themselves unsurpassed growth.
The Eagles of ’34
Eagles! Immediately our minds think
strength, endurance and attainments of
heights. Indeed, in the sense of every one
of these words, are the Sophomores, Eagles.
We have come back to dear old Spelman,
after a few months of rest, filled with
energy and strength to undertake new
tasks. We have begun. We are fully con
fident that our endurance will carry us on,
for we are truly eagles in pursuit of
knowledge. The eagle is able to reach much
greater heights than the ordinary bird. We,
the Sophomores, intend to soar far above
any former sophomores, thus showing that
we are Eagles.
The eagle is the king of birds, you say.
Ah, now! The Sophomores of ”32 are the
Eagles of Sophomore classes. Just watch us
go!
Guess who visited the Spelman campus last
week—a gentleman or a lady? Guess. Do
you give up? There, there—it was none other
than Spelman’s Miss Minnie B. Timson, who
taught at Spelman for many years. She
hasn’t changed a bit and from all evidences
appears to be the same Miss Timson whom
the girls in Miss Tapley’s days knew in the
grammar school. It is hoped that her stay
here was a pleasant one, and that she will
enjoy her work at Tougaloo College, where
Miss Kurrelmeyer is Dean of Women.
