6 SpHman Freshmen Entertained Jennelsie Walden, ’41 The Spelman “Frosh” enjoyed a de lightful round of entertainment during Freshman Week which served to make them better acquainted with each other and with their brother Freshmen at Morehouse College. The first of these was a costume party given by the Y. W. C. A. at Morehouse- South Hall. The girls, who come from all over the country, and even across the ocean, arrived clad in various types of dress—some in slacks or shorts, some in formal costumes, and some in sport dresses. The party lasted from 7:30 until 9:00 and the evening was tilled with games. Fun and laughter prevailed throughout. Refreshments served were apples and candies. The Freshmen of Morehouse College and those of Spelman were entertained on Friday evening, September 18th, at a social in Howe Theatre. Entertainment took the form of get-acquainted games, also of singing and speeches. As the eve ning wore on, what at first was a group of boys and a group of girls gradually changed to a mixture of both. An air of pleasant excitement prevailed as always is the case when boy meets girl. Freshman Stunt Night was one of much enjoyment. The Freshman class, being an unusually large one, was di vided into several sections, each of which was responsible for some type of stunt or act. They rehearsed diligently and as a result, several comical acts were executed. This stunt night took place on Monday, September 21st, at Howe Theatre. In some of the new “greenies” traces of real dramatic talent are clearly evident. President Read’s Greeting (Continued from Page 1) do you wish to be like her hard enough to make her a reality? None of these qualities or skills comes accidentally or drops like manna from heaven. The power to be and the power to do come as a result of effort and habit, as a result of daily aspirations and daily activities. Will you keep in your mind through the days of this year that picture of the woman-you-are-to-be, and let each day contribute something to her beauty and her accomplishments?

(University Homes) CAMPUS MIRROR The New Heating System Dovey Johnson, ’38 Last spring marked the beginning of a new heating system for Spelman, Morehouse, and Atlanta University buildings. The old system on Spelman campus had served to heat and light Spelman buildings for the past thirty- seven years. The new $300,000 system, with its plant building on Lee and Greensferrv Streets, will take over com pletely the heating and lighting of the buildings of the three institutions. The new system is convertible, that is, it can use effectively and efficiently both gas and coal fuel. Even though this is true, the system will generally use gas. No miracle caused this plant to take form, wonderful and mighty as it now stands. Men did real men’s work every day from April first until the last of August in order to complete the laying and connecting of numberless pipes join ing all the buildings with the main plant. Both brawn and brain went into this structure. Foot after foot of ditches were dug in order to lay some 700 feet of insulated tunneling with pipes of about every size and length within. The small army of those who labored, and those who designed and planned this structure gave of themselves in con structing a truly excellent mechanism. A Scientific Investigation It is believed that the party of sci entists at Grand Canyon, Arizona, head ed by Dr. Harold E. Anthony, curator of mammology of the American Museum of Natural History, on September 16, 1937, is the first to explore the mys terious “island in the sky.” The purpose of the investigation is to study the ani mal life upon this two hundred seventy- five acre wooded plateau which was sep arated from the mainland by erosion following a recession of ice some thirty- five thousand years ago. The effects of the isolation of these small animals, unable to pass the arid desert barrier separating Shiva Temple from the Grand Canyon, is to be thor oughly studied. Already there have been discoveries of arrow chippings which are proofs that an early people either inhabited or visited the plateau. Conse quently, in addition to delving into the biological evolution of these animals, the investigators will look for fossils or other remains which may prove of great value to archaeology.

Freshmen Hear Lectures Jean Warren, ’41 Lectures formed a vital part of orien tation week for over a hundred Spelman Freshmen, and covered almost every im portant phase of the college girl’s life. These lectures were given by different members of the Morehouse and Spelman faculties. Miss Bonnie-Jean Clelland, first to begin the series of talks, discussed “The Foundation of a College Girl’s Charm.” “Charm,” said Miss Clelland, “is not determined wholly by the clothes one wears, as many students believe, but clothes, if neat and appropriate, do form one of the most important elements of charm.” The subject, “How to Keep Up to Your Best Physically,” was treated thor oughly by Mrs. Ludie Andrews in a quarter-hour talk. Mrs. Andrews de plored the fact that so many college students are hesitant about seeing the doctor at the first sign of illness. Miss Neptune, English instructor, cen tered her talk, “What for College,” around three main points, what college does for the student, for his fellow- as sociates and for the world of culture. In a lecture on “The Spelman Girl,” Miss Viola Branham gave a history of the foundation of Spelman College, its founders and generations of students. Other speakers were Miss Charlotte Templeton on “How to Use the Library,” Miss Georgia Cowen, on “The Value of Reading to the College Student,” and Dean Brazeal and Dr. C. D. Hubert, both of Morehouse College. These lectures in a sense introduced the new students to the activities of Spelman College, thus affording them much food for thought. It was a real pleasure to listen to them. Treating Folks Fairly For 58 Years DRUG STORES ALL OVER ATLANTA
