Spelman Sunday School
News
A new system has been inaugurated
for use in the Spelman Sunday School
this year. Instead of being assigned to
classes alphabetically or on the basis of
academic classification, the students were
allowed to choose from a list of proposed
subjects those in which they were most
interested, and the classes were made up
according to these interests. The subjects
offered this semester are “How to Estab
lish the Christian Home, Religious Liv
ing. The Christian Idea of God, The
Christian Teaching About Ourselves.
Jesus. International Sunday School Les
sons, Life of Christ in Literature, Relig
ion in Drama. The Book of Psalms, and
Christians in an Unchristian Society.”
There are a number of competent and
interesting teachers, and a great amount
of interest in the new plan has already
been expressed.
Clara Louise Gaillard was elected stu
dent superintendent for the year. Under
her leadership and the invaluable assist
ance of Mrs. Brazeal. this year’s Sunday
School promises to be one of the most
enjoyable and fruitful in the history of
the present student body.
The Poet’s C orner
The Stream
Grace L. Sasportas, ’43
1 lie stream Hows black before my
door,
Black like wine, yet crystal clear.
And the tiny pebbles twinkle bright
Far down in my stream.
High on the hill in the pasture there
Comes a tiny streamlet cold and white
Out of a bed of Virgin Rock
To make my ebon stream.
I hen down the hill through the clover
field
Gathering sweetness all the way
I hrough the thick pine forest warm and
dark
Laughingly goes my stream.
Then here at my door the stream flows
black.
And the little stones smile through.
And the rich sweet scent of Clover and
Pine
Have become a part of this stream of
mine.

Grace Sasportas, '43
I saw a Buttercup brimming full
Of the golden light of the noon-day sun.
And I thought how happy I should be
If all God’s goodness would so fill me.
