What? When? Why? Column

FIRST STEPS IN GOOD MANNERS
Tin* well mannered person is always ac
ceptable to society. He is always courteous,
thoughtful; he has no unbecoming or of
fensive habits. Emotions such as temper,
jealousy, covetousness and selfishness are al-
ways under control, and these are evidences
of the finer feelings such as friendliness,
kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration
for others. The conversation is always free
from sarcasm, insinuation, slang, profanity,
and lewd suggestions. The well mannered
person is tactful, well-poised, and gracious;
quick to give assistance when needed.
Are you well mannered? Ask yourself
these questions and answer them. Do I pass
directly in front of an on-coming person?
Do T lower my standards of courtesy when
free from restraint? Do I forget to let older
people pass first? Do I have habits that are
offensive to others? Do I forget to smother
a cough, sneeze, or yawn in the presence of
others? Do I control my temper? Do I re
spect the rights of others in every single act?
Do I appear conspicuous in speech, move
ments, and dress? Do I appear pretentious
rather than truthful and friendly?
The Book Mart
One of the most delightful events of the
year was the Book Mart held by the Fort
nightly Club, Friday evening, December 2, at
7:30 in Laura Spelman reception room.
Quite a large number of people visited the
shop during the evening, each expressing his
appreciation of the large collection of books
of poetry, fiction, biography and history and
responding to the effect of the decorations of
tapestries, pictures by great artists, with the
Christmas cheer of holly and red candles. In
the midst of the excitement of examining and
selecting books, the group was invited into
the assembly room for the program, which
included Christmas Carols, sung by primary
pupils from Oglethorpe School under the
efficient direction of Miss Lillian Webster.
The children sang softly, with much expres
sion and feeling, showing a real appreciation
of the meaning of the carols. The program
was completed by Miss Cooke’s reading of
the poem, A Visit From St. Nicholas.
Enlivened and inspired by the Christmas
thoughts that had come to them, the visitors
returned to the Book Shop and continued t<>
select their favorite books. Before the shop
closed, Christmas candy was served to the
guests. Everyone who went to the Book Mart
feels grateful to the Fortnightly Club for
this evening with books, made possible
through the courtesy of Millers Bookstore,
the Davison-Paxon bookshop and the
Macmillan Book Company, who, in response
to requests made by Miss Neptune, Miss Nor
wood and Mis- Cooke, loaned the books that
were on sale.
The attractive posters which announced
the Book Mart were made by Miss Perry,
and Miss Wilson was responsible for the
decorating of the room.

The Societas Latina Collegii
Spelmani
Dorothy Hornsby, ’33
A special Christmas program was given by
the members of the Latin Club at their meet
ing on December 9th. The program con
sisted, in part, of songs, recitations, and read
ings in the Latin language.
The second part of the program was a pres
entation of the Roman Saturnalia, a Roman
festival, many of whose features have found
their way into the Christmas celebrations of
the church. Originally, only one day, De
cember 17th, was celebrated, but by Cicero’s
time seven days were given to the celebration.
The festival opened with a public sacrifice at
the temple of Saturn and was followed by a
feast. The members of the club illustrated
this sacrifice and feast as they celebrated the
Ito man Saturnalia.

Biology Club
Birdie Scott, ’33
At the first regular meeting of the Biology
Club, November lltli, Mrs. Delorme took the
members on an excursion to Cold Spring
Harbor, Long Island, New York. The club
members enjoyed visits to all the places of
interest at this biological laboratory. They
also had the good fortune of being able to
observe several early morning field trips on
which collections of marine animals were
made. The members of the club were more
than delighted by the opportunities which
this marine laboratory offers for pursuit in
the field which holds much interest for biolo
gists. This imaginary excursion was made
possible by a lecture, describing the labora
tory and some of the interesting activities,
which was given by Mrs. Delorme and was
supported by illustrative pictures. She de
scribed t he habitat and activity of some of
the specimens of marine forms which she
showed the club members. Among these were
molluscs, worms, and many interesting
aquatic insects.
After this imaginary excursion, all present
enjoyed hot cocoa, with marshmallows, and
cookies. As the meeting adjourned, Doctor
Albro gave to each girl an American Beauty
rosebud.
