CAMPUS MIRROR
7
At the Si«£ii of the Blue
On Sunday evening, January 5. M iss
Myra Whittaker of Philadelphia, who
visited our campus during the holidays
and into the new year, had charge of the
“Y” meeting that was held in Morehouse
South.
The group sat in a circle and read in
union ‘‘The One Thousandth Psalm” by-
Edward Everett Hale. The most inter
esting part of the meeting was the se
lection of a favorite hymn by each per
son, who explained why the hymn was
her favorite. Miss Whittaker’s points on
each hymn added a great deal of inter
est as the hymns were sung.
Biology Club News
The third meeting of the Biology Club
was held Friday afternoon, January 10th,
in the office of Ur. Alhro, sponsor. The
main work of the day was sorting, cut
ting, and pasting articles for the Club’s
project for the year, the Biology Scrap
Book.
Dr. Alhro brought a new product to
be tested by the Club members. This
product was candy made from whey, a
by-product of the cheese industry, sent
to subscribers by The Things oj Science.
After an enjoyable afternoon the Club
was adjourned until the next meeting
which will he held February 15. All
members are urged to be present.
Le Cercle Du Francais
Le Cercle du Francais de Spelman en
tertained the joint meeting of the two
clubs, Morehouse and Spelman, in the
living room of Morehouse North. This
meeting, not unlike the others, had some
thing different to offer: They played a
French game that teased the brain; a
brief monologue was well portrayed by
Jennelsie Walden; and Dorothy Bar
nett and Mr. Lee Jett cleverly acted out
a French skit that lent a bit of humor to
the atmosphere. Delicate cookies, color
ful punch, and “bon-bons” were served.
Sunday night. January 5, marked an
other grand triumph in the life of Le
Cercle du Francais. Monsieur Pierre de-
Lanux was honored at a tea given at
President Read's home, from seven un
til eight p. m. Monsieur deLanux proved
himself to be a great man, both in intel
ligence and in his delicate sensibilities;
he held the close attention of everyone
as he gave his comments on problems
dealing with the crisis in Europe.
It is not often that the students have

Carolyn Taylor '44
On W ednesday evening, December 18,
as a freshman, with a pillow under her
arm. started across the campus, the fol
lowing conversation took place:
Upper classman: Say, freshman,
where are you going with that pillow?
Freshman: To Mrs. Lyons’ house.
Upper classman (to herself): Uph,
poor child, thinks she can sit demerits
out.
Freshman (overhearing the upper
classman) : Oh no, not that way. She has
invited the Book Club to hold its first
meeting in her home. Pardon me, but 1
can’t afford to be late at a meeting in
her home.
Upper classman: These important
freshmen.
The freshman was on time for the
meeting and all were welcomed by the
sponsors of the club. As this student en
tered the room, to her surprise a glow
ing fire in an open fireplace greeted her,
a real fire but not for the firemen. As
she stood there gazing into the fire, the
expression on each one’s face seemed
to bring to her reminiscences of home,
but in a few minutes she realized the
why of the occasion and sat down on
her pillow with the others in semi-circles
around the fire. The room was full.
Nina Charlton, the chairman of the
program committee, called the group to
order and when everything was ready
Lelabelle Freeman discussed Josephine
Lawrence’s But You Are Young. Her dis
cussion was so interesting that it awak
ened a desire in the group to hear about
other groups. Other hooks discussed in
this manner were Gina Kaus’ Portrait
oj an Empress by Jeanne Spurlock; Er
nest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell
Tolls by Ernestine Horton; Emily
Bronte’s Wuthering Heights by Clau
dette Jefferson; Lloyd C. Douglas’
Magnificent Obsession by Gwendolyn
Harrison; Richard Wright’s Native Son
by Johnnie Hunter; and Emily Loring’s
It's a Great World by Nina Charlton;
Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables by Caro
lyn Taylor.
After the discussion of the books the
group had a corn popping. The Book
Club was glad to have as its honor guest
Miss M. Mae Neptune of the English de
partment. The members of the club are
sure that the discussion of the books is
creating a wide interest in books.
the honor and the privilege to enjoy the
company of such an unbiased, frank
and sensible person. One of the club
members voiced the opinions and the
impressions of the members of both
clubs and visitors when he remarked
after the tea: “That is a man of might
in its true meaning”.
