* V* 6 CAMPUS MIRROR CK VNDDAUBIITEKS CLUB ((mntinued from Page 1 ) post- of the Club, as stated in its Con stitution, was “to study and preserve all associations connected with memorial names of buildings, rooms, trees, plants, furniture, or permanent possessions, to pass on to new students the traditions of the school, and especially the solemn promise made to Mrs. Spelman that no Spelman girl would ever bring reproach upon her name.” Annual meetings of the Club were held on Founders’ Day. The Granddaughters played a very defi nite part on the Rally program in the mornings: the Constitution of the Club, the minutes of the last meeting, and prepared papers on various subjects were read. The program alw r ays closed with the singing of an antiphonal, or respon sive song, between the daughters and the granddaughters. According to the annals of the Spel man Messenger, the plaques of Miss Packard and Miss Giles in Howe Hall were first decorated by the Granddaugh ters on Founders' Day and on Class Day in 1915. An article in the December, 1924, Campus Mirror shows that the Grand daughters participated in other activities than these. The following children ap peared on a program of the Atlanta Spel man Club: Josephine Harreld, Mildred Wardlaw, Julia Palmer, Edward Davis, Virginia Hammond, and Lynette Saine. In the spring of 1939 the Granddaugh ters Club was reorganized. During last year several projects were carried out. At Christmas a living wreath was placed on the grave of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (Mrs. Laura Spelman Rockefeller), in Cleveland, Ohio, commemorating the 100th anniversary of her birth. A copy of the resolutions made in connection with the placing of the wreath was sent to Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. On Founders’ Day, the Granddaughters dec orated the plaques of Miss Packard and Miss Giles in Howe Hall and contrib uted $13.00 to the Rally. As their enter tainment for the year, the Club presented the Granddaughters’ Follies. On Class Day the Seniors were led through the Alumnae Arch by the Granddaughters. The President of the Club carried the original banner of Spelman College; she was followed by the members, who car ried miniature banners, and by the alum nae with their class banners. The year’s activities closed with a picnic. This year the Granddaughters are planning other worthwhile projects. The officers of the Club for 1940-41 are: Mary Vincent, President; Annie J. Moore, Vice President; Rubie Battle, Secretary; Helen Robinson, Assistant Secretary; Evelyn Reddick. Treasurer; and Mrs. Reddick, Faculty Adviser. Musical Outlook for the Year This year the Music Department has many new voices in the soprano, mezzo soprano, and contralto sections. There is also an enlarged enrollment in the piano department and in the music classes. During the summer months, Mr. Kem per Harreld, who heads the Music De partment, served on the Board of Ex aminers of the National Association of Negro Musicians. Mrs. Maise studied vocal technique, piano repertoire, and sight-reading with Ethel Luening at Bennington School of Arts. She also participated in the Bennington Musical Festival under Otto Luening. Mr. James studied Composition in the modern idiom with the outstanding pianist and composer in musicography of New York, Edwin Gerschefski. He also did research work at the music division of the New York Library. The music students are anticipating sharing these advantages. Miss Alma Stone, 1940 graduate of Spelman, is an assistant in the depart ment. With such an efficient faculty the outlook for the year is bright. Of particular interest to the faculty and students is the information that Prof. Willis L. James has recently re ceived a commission to prepare two books of spirituals for G. Schirmer, Inc., one for mixed voices, the other, for fe male voices. Athletic Council The Athletic Council opened the year 1940-41 with a discussion concerning a “Don’t Cut the Campus and Keep the Campus Clean” Campaign. Keep your eyes open for notices concerning the campaign and do remember to try to keep our campus beautiful. The officers of the council for the en suing year are: Mildred Cuthbert, chair man; Elizabeth Lipford, treasurer; Ed die Bush, secretary. Miss Callahan is faculty adviser. Watch for other important features to be- sponsored by the Council. Freshman Dramatic Cluh Lelabelle Freeman, ’44 The Freshman Dramatic Club, com posed of freshmen from Spelman and Morehouse, had its first meeting Friday, September 27, 1940, in Howe Hall. The following officers for the year were elect ed: Miriam Drake, Spelman chairman; John D. Anderson, Morehouse chairman, and Ernestine Horton, secretary. The treasurer will be elected later. Due to the fact that they are ama teurs, the members will cast one-act plays to start off the year’s activities. The Advisers believe that these amateurs will in time become University Players.
