CAMPUS MIRROR
Home Economics Club
Edna F. Lemon, '44
On the last Saturday afternoon in
April, the Home Economics Club enter
tained the Freshman Home Economics
majors with a picnic on the lawn of
Bessie Strong Hall that lasted from
four to six o’clock. The members of
the Home Economics faculty and Miss
Winchell, a former instructor at Colum
bia University, were also present.
Soft ball and crocjuet were the fea
tured games of the afternoon. Though
a very delicious menu was served, a large
part of the fun of the occasion was de
rived from the roasting of weiners over
an open fire. Many of them might have
been nearly charred but they were very
tasteful when the relishes were added.
There was plenty of food and fun for
all and everyone had a very good time.
Why don't we do this more often?

John Hope Lecture
(Continued from page 1)
United States has not been able to see
the foresightedness, the strength, and the
workableness of the Russian plan of
life; therefore, the two countries had no
close relations. The war has pushed them
together and a better understanding has
resulted.
The Russian people believe in their
country and they are willing to work
for wdiat they believe in. This is evident
in the way that they have rallied to its
defense and have turned the war into an
offensive one.
The Russians have made great ad
vances that would never have been pos
sible under the Czar. Russia has em
erged from her revolution with internal
unity and development in every phase
of her existence.
cerely hope that our mistakes and blun
ders will not be judged too harshly, for
we plan to keep the standard of Spelman
College, of our parents, and of our own
personal desires high in every respect.
What the Campus Is Reading
(Continued from page 2)
Perrin, his wife. La Cousine, and Mon-
siur le cure take her into their confidence
that she really understands, and then she
becomes a part of the secret intrigue.
She has been working in Lyon, distribut
ing food to the hungry children and is
more than willing to risk her safety in
order that her position and standing in
the community might be used to serve
the cause. In the dark days after the
enemy had occupied more than half of
France, those who believed in freedom
had begun to organize into underground
movements in order to continue the fight
in any way possible, and thousands of
Frenchmen were escaping to the African
colonial possessions to be organized un
der a leader and a title — De Gaulle and
the Free Frenchmen. Every word, every
thought, and every action is centered
around the desire and the aim so ably
expressed by the leader of the Free
French at a time when Frenchmen had
nothing, “that every Frenchman may be
liberated to live, to think, to work, to
act in dignity and in security."
Her fellow travelers are woven into the
story in a sinister or happy manner.
The search for her childhood sweet
heart introduces the romantic note in an
otherwise sombre and heavy picture and
her success in finding him brings the
lightness of relief after the hazardous
and almost fatal events of her search.
The book ends on a note of hope for
what the future may bring. Miss Boyle
has a descriptive and appealing style
and a smooth, free, flowing expression
all her own. You will find this an ab
sorbing novel throughout all of its two
hundred nine pages.

The Juniors also presented $10.00 to
the United Negro College Fund.
After the warm and enthusiastic recep
tion of the report, the audience quieted
down to witness the placing of the
wreaths over the tablets to Miss Packard
and Miss Giles by the Granddaughters
Club. A moment of meditation, then the
student body cheerfully raced to the din
ing hall where the city students were
guests of the campus students for dinner.
