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 Book Club 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”. MRS.
