THE CAMPUS MIRROR
7
At The Sign Of The Blue
Thf.odis Weston, ’38
After about two weeks of canvas-
sin", during which time the member
ship committee of the Y. W. C. A., and
their deputies, were personally urging
every Spelman girl to accept member
ship in the student “Y, ” the result
was that thirty girls accepted the invi
tation.
At the close of this drive on Sun
day night, November 17, the new mem
bers were welcomed by the president,
Dorothy Williams, who in turn pre
sented the speaker for the occasion,
Miss Celestine Smith, a national stu
dent secretary for the “Y,” and one
who knows the nature and the values
of a student “Y” on a college campus.
First she cited to the group how
important the “Y” is to a girl who
devotes herself to the principles of this
Christian organization. Those who
were just becoming members were
made to see as she talked, just where
they could enter into the activity and
enjoy the fellowship of this Christian
organization.
Then she told the story of her trip
to P>ritish West Africa, where she
spent nine months of actual service
teaching hundreds of African young
people of Nigeria the Christian prin
ciples, and their duty to God and hu
manity. It was evident that the “Y”
spirit is the spirit of Christian ser
vice.
To emphasize the story of her work,
she showed articles and garments
which she had collected during her
stay in Africa, namely, a stool cover,
a pair of sandals made from an auto
mobile tire, pocketbooks made from
the skins of animals, a camel hair bed
spread, beautiful embroidery work and
dyed materials.
Lastly, she dressed in some of the
costumes that the African peasant
woman wears, that is, a queer head
dress, a blouse, and a wrap around
'kiit which were all hand woven. The
entire exhibition portrayed African
skill and ability.
The ‘A’" is grateful to Miss Smith
for the inspiration and beneficial in
formation that she brought to it as an
orga nization.

Mirror.
Morgan House Meeting
The spirit of Christmas has already
come to our campus. This was proved
last Sunday night, December 8, xvhen
the girls of Morgan Hall enjoyed a
beautiful Christmas program.
The soft prelude, played by Frances
Sampson, put one in quite a receptive
mood, and that which followed proved
indeed delightful. Miss Boley, of the
Biology department of Atlanta Uni
versity Laboratory High School,
prayed a very beautiful and touching
Christmas prayer, after which Miss
Mary L. Smith, of the Speech depart
ment of Spelman, sang Silent Night,
Holy Night. Van Dyke’s story, The
Other Wise Man, was told by Miss
Geter of the French department, who
ended by reading the poem found at
the beginning of the story which so
beautifully sums up the whole story:
“Who seeks for heaven alone to save
his soul
May keep the path but never reach
the goal,
While he who walks in love may
wander far
Yet God will bring him where the
blessed are.”
Two violin solos, Beethoven’s Moon
light Sonata, played by Mr. Durant of
Morehouse College, and Ava Maria,
played by D. S. Days, Jr., also of More
house, served as a fitting climax to
the program.
Morgan hall is indebted to three of
its members for this program: Cornelia
McGowan, Eldra Monsanto, and Mable
Miller.
The Christmas Carol Concert
December 19
The Annual Christmas Carol Con
cert is being anticipated this season
with as much zest and pleasure as ever
before. Due to the enlarged enroll
ment of new members to the chorus
and the enjoyable contributions which
it has made at various times during
the semester, interest in the Carol Con
cert is increased. The skillful direc
tion of Mr. Harreld, director of music,
coupled with the responsive coopera
tion of the chorus, increase further in
terest in the true values of the pro
gram. Additional features will be the
separate appearances of the Morehouse
Glee Club and the Spelman Glee Club.

Practice Session

Maroon Tiger
With football results now history,
and with the Morehouse College eleven
boasting an enviable record from last
year that warranted a second place
berth in the conference standings, the
current edition of aspiring Morehouse
hardwood candidates is going through
preliminary calisthenics under the
eagerly scrutinizing optics of More
house’s versatile tutor — youthful
Frank Forbes.
Last year's quintet that succeeded
in salvaging the third place trophy
awarded at the tournament in Tus-
kegee, is back intact and indications
very vividly forecast a better season
for the boys that dazzle and thrill you
with their sizzling, scintillating hard
wood antics than that currently fam
ous gridiron juggernaut, which lost
only to the conference champion, en
joyed. Rabid enthusiasts have peered
searchingly into their cards relative
to the testing of this potentially
formidable aggregation and to them,
the revelation has been nothing less
than a one-two finish for the cagers.
Oslin, last year’s captain; Harris,
a sensational floorman, and Page, a
dependable guard, from the nucleus of
the impressive bunch of spheroidal
manipulators. Such luminaries as
Clark, Kirtley, Nix, King, Dawson,
and many others, greatly enhance the
possibilities for a banner year and give
rise to the enthusiasm of your cor
respondent.
