Freshmen Are Entertained
On Friday morning, October 2, each
Freshman student received an invitation re
questing her presence at an entertainment
given by the -1111001’ class, which read as
follows:
“Beware ! You spineless creatures of ’35.
Harken to the voices of your Superiors!
Be not arrogant, but humble and sub
missive.
Specks and rings, silk stockings and
things, be sure you leave behind.
Be garbed in a gingham frock when it’s
seven-thirty by the clock.
There’s no place to dodge within your
hall,
A worthy escort for you will call
Saturday Eve.
Your Superiors,
The Class of 1933.”
These invitations served to stimulate the
already prevailing excitement among the
freshmen, who had just heard rumored some
thing of “Freshman Initiation”.
After receiving these invitations, wide-eyed
freshmen were seen grouping off to them
selves, whispering, between chattering teeth,
“I wonder what it will be like,” “What will
they do to us?” “Who will be our escorts?”
The following evening, Saturday, October
3, each freshman was dressed at 7:30 and
awaiting the arrival of her escort. One by
one the faculty members called for the fresh
man guests and escorted them to Howe Me
morial Hall, where the entertainment was to
be held.
The juniors’ hostesses met the guests at the
door, where t hey separated freshmen from
escorts. The latter were ushered directly
into the large reception room, while the guests
were led, first, through a series of semi-
darkened chandlers, receiving a different ex
perience in each. Each experience was one
long to be remembered.
The hostesses with their guests then joined
the waiting escorts, where all participated
in games, stunts, and laughing remarks about
the experiences in the semi-darkened cham
bers. A stunt contest was presented, con
sisting of clever acts by groups representing
the months of the year. The group repre
senting November won the prize, a box of
candy.
Simple refreshments were served, after
which the juniors expressed their eternal
devotion to the freshmen in songs, composed
by Mozelle Warner. The usual green emblems
were presented to each freshman, to be worn
through October (i.
With all fears dispelled and new confi
dence established, the freshmen gladly ac
cepted their junior sisters as escorts to their
halls.
Freshman Stunt Night
On Saturday evening, September 21, the
freshman students entertained the faculty
and upper-classmen with a clever perform
ance, which was in the form of a series of
short plays.
The plays were The Original Green Pas
tures, A Fashion Show, Jack Falstaff’s Love
Making, and The Banana Bandits. The latter
was awarded first prize for its originality
and execution.
Judging from the portrayal of character
the players gave in the different plays, the
freshman class is by no means lacking in
dramatic talent.
The Y. W. C. A. Social
Students and teachers from Morris
Brown and Clark Universities and More
house College were the guests of Spelman
Y. W. C. A. at a Get-Acquainted Social at
Morgan Hall, Saturday evening, October 10.
The guests found on entering that the
dining hall had been transformed into a
large reception room. There were lights
hanging from the ceiling which gave forth
an assortment of soft, red, yellow, green,
and blue rays. Lighted candles and pot
flowers were placed attractively about the
large social room, which had as a back
ground a lovely three-part screen made of
natural green vines brightened by three-
colored, pink, orchid, and purple, modernis
tic flowers; while in the smaller social
room, a log fire burned brightly on the
hearth, and above, gracing the mantle,
stood a handsome candelabrum. Couches
with pillows and large easy chairs lent an
atmosphere of hominess.

ration committee, and her assistants,
with suggestions from Miss Cooke and Miss
Arduser, much credit is due for the lovely
decorations.
Beautiful tones from the piano mingled
with tin* voices of the guests until the pro
gram began. Frances Lawson announced
the program which consisted of vocal num
bers with encores by Lindie Lee Harris, a
skit arranged by Edytlie Tate, a violin
solo by Mr. .Jewell, of Morehouse, and two
numbers by the Spelman quartet, arranged
bv Annye Mells.
After refreshments, which were attrac
tively served, and the exchange of greetings
by college songs from the different groups,
another event had enriched every guest
with new acquaintances and, let us hope,
with new friends.
The Story Telling Club
Claudia Murry, ’34
All colleges offer courses in the arts and
sciences, but few of them offer courses in
the art of story telling.
Spelman has the Wheatley-Fauset Story
Telling Club, the purpose of which is to
study and practice the art of telling good
stories and to learn to become keen, observ
ant, appreciative listeners.
The membership campaign is now on and
all students are eligible for membership. The
club leaders extend a cordial invitation to all
students, new and old, and promise an in
teresting program of study and work. Watch
the bulletin boards for announcements of
meetings.
