News Gathered From the
Corners
January 15 through 20 Miss Elizabeth
Osborne was a guest of the campus. On
the night of the fifteenth, she gave an in
teresting discussion to the students and
told them much about having poise and
exhibiting charm. During her stay, other
lectures were given and such topics as
personality and the fundamental qualities
for well rounded and well groomed indi
viduals were discussed. As she went
about the campus speaking to groups and
holding interviews with individuals, she
proved a source of helpful information
and advice on subjects that the students
discovered to be real problems. She be
came well loved by the students and it
was only regretted that she could not re
main longer, for along with the good pos
ture program that the Athletic Council
was launching her presence about many
improvements in the appearance and
manner of the students.
On Saturday night. February 4, Clark
and Morehouse played a basketball game
in Morehouse gym. The gym was packed
“over the lines” and there were thrills
a-plenty for all—from the prim little
Clark dames that were cheer leaders to
the singing of the Mdrehouse College
hymn. Morehouse played well, but Clark
won the game by a stunning margin of
66-26. Wow! Whattagame!!
One morning in chapel a speaker men
tioned the title of a wonderful picture;
the title was, You Cant Take It With You.
Before that time this picture had played
some time in a downtown theatre and
proved to be decidedly popular. I have
heard lately that the play came to a local
theatre during the week of January 22,
and many went and enjoyed it. Yes, I
have actually heard that some went and
confirmed the statement made in chapel
that you can’t take it with you. Get the
point?
I see by the papers that a certain young
teacher, who has won the admiration of
the Spelman students and faculty, is prov
ing herself quite efficient in the field of
sports. She superbly officiated along
with another Spelman teacher at the bas
ketball game between the Liberty Co-eds
and the Morris Brown Co-eds, 20-11. I
have also noticed that an instructor at
Morehouse of the same field of study
proves excellent as an officiator at the
basketball games. I wonder if it is some
thing in the test-tubes!
There seems to be in the air something
about Seniors finding some difficulty in
adjusting themselves to the Progressive
education in their practice teaching; with
no reflections whatever, I must urge the
Seniors to be progressive and grasp the
situation at hand, for that with which they
may be faced after graduation will be
quite as difficult if all indications are cor
rect.
Doings of the D.R.C.
Doris Dellene Strother, ’42
It was very fitting that the second
birthday party given by the D.R.C. came
at the close of the first semester, January
28, 1939. The party was given in the
beautifully decorated reception room of
Morehouse South in which the guests
honored by birthdays were Mrs. Reddick,
Dean Lyons, Helen Holmes, Georgia N.
Smith. Ella Jackson, Helen Saxton and
Venus Collins. Each young lady invited
another young lady from the various dor
mitories on the campus to be her guest
for the evening. Among other invited
guests were Miss Ruttkay, Miss Fowler,
President Read and her guest, Miss Clark.
Music was played by Marilyn Green while
the guests were arriving. Shortly after
wards some very enjoyable games were
played by the young ladies. After the
games a delightful program was given by
the talented members of the D.R.C. which
proved to be a grand success. Before the
close of the program Mrs. Reddick read
to the group of eager listeners a unique
vegetable story in which the guests were
to supply the correct name to a vegetable
at a certain pause in the story. The per
son guessing the most names was given a
prize, and the winner was Ida Russell.
In addition to the refreshments there was
a lovely birthday cake with candles for the
group of celebrants. The evening came to
a close with the singing of “Fair Spel
man,” and the guests departed express
ing themselves as having had a very en
joyable evening.
On February 5, 1939, the D.R.C. re
organized for the second semester as fol
lows: President, Rae Jamison; Vice-Pres
ident, Ernestine Strickland; Secretary,
Mary Gale Brown; Assistant Secretary,
Ruth Taylor; Treasurer, Yvonne Cooper;
Chairman of Program Committee, Alberta
Ghent; Chairman of Social Committee,
Mary McCullough; Critic, Ella Tyree;
Pianists, Doris Ellerbe and Marilyn
Green; Reporter, Doris Strother. With
the cooperation of the new officers and
members, we are hoping to have a very
successful semester.
A joke in closing:
Class President—“Yes, the Morehouse
Seniors said they would like to debate
you.”
Class Member—“Why, I’d rather play
them basketball.”

As winter’s cold drives all without to
the shelter of home and fireside, we Spel-
manites are looking ahead to spring, when
we may seek shelter on the soft bright
grass under some shady tree whose new
buds are expanding now under the gentle
influence of the sun’s rays.
The other day, as I was sitting alone in
my room and thinking how like the rugged
winter are the seniors, and how like the
verdant and smiling spring are the fresh
men, I chanced to think about some quo
tations which at some time or other have
attracted my attention. I, therefore, de
cided to apply them to some Spelman stu
dents.
Alma Stone knows that where her vio
lin is concerned, “practice makes per
fect.”
Mary Alice Normand is “the glass of
fashion and the mould of form.”
Lenore who says “smooth runs the water
where the Brook is deep.”
“Cheerful at morn,” Alpha Hines
“wakes from short repose, breathes the
keen air and carols as she goes.”
Annabelle McGregor hath eaten Spel
man out of house and home.
“Punk” Truitt, “All the world loves a
lover.”
Oh, Margaret Creagh, thou art “A gen
tle maid of rural breeding, by nature first
and then by reading.”
“Gwen” Henry is “Pleasant to walk
with, pleasant to talk with, and pleasant
to think about.”
Carrie Nicholas is “hypnotized by her
own thought.”
Ruth Pope hath “an expression of sleep
upon her brow.”
“Down on your knees,” Thelma Wor
rell, “And thank Heaven, fasting, for a
good man’s love.”
“What a piece of work” is Ruth Hutch
ins !
Beverly Washington “nothing common
did or mean.”
Happy is Ida Wood who “is not yet so
old but she may learn.”
Bloneva Pride is certain that “A little
nonsense now and then is relished by the
wisest men.”
Glenna Stewart, “thou art the kindliest
woman, the best conditioned and un
wearied spirit in doing courtesies.”
Frances Mason who has knowledge
“spareth her words.”
Minnie Wood believes in “Better late

“What,” Ella Tyree “says you may be
lieve and pour your soul upon it.”

thee upon Glory’s page?”

tial smile.”
An honest woman like Ollie Franklin
is the noblest work of God.
