They certainly must have jazzed things up a bit I At least you and Mamie and Hawks did. (I have something interesting to tell you about Hawks, but that can wait.) So glad that you are all fixed at school. Well, anyway, it’s better than being at Vassar, and that’s “the cat’s whiskers.” Your dresses must be wonderful—they always are. ' I sure do envy you the trips you’ll be taking, even if the “lady professor” goes along. There’ll be plenty to see—and do. “Plenty” will doubtless include Bud—he’s up there as sophomore this year, : hear. Speaking of trips—I just must tell you of one Paula and I and two friends made to qur own Stone Mountain Sunday. Here I’ve spent all these days living in Athens, within 75 miles of the .WON- I DER OF THE WORLD, and until then (had only seen it from a distance of several miles—on trips ' to and from Atlanta. Since the Daughters of the Confederacy have employed Gutzon Borglum, that famous sculptor, to put the memorial upon the great monolith, I have been interested and wanted so much to go there and see the mountain and the beginning of Mr. Borglum’s work. So when Fred and Harry Knowles and Paula came by and asked me to go up with them Sunday, I | was overjoyed. Paula and Fred lhad a wonderful dinner prepared, and we spent the day on the mountain—up| there in the shade of those friendly trees that dot the earthen spaces on the face of the great rock. It is the most glorious sensation to stand up there on Stone Mountain and view the surrounding hills and valleys—see the cities of Georgia around it, and the farms. And the great Confederate Memorial—what an inspiring thing it is to contemplate and what a legacy it will be to the future. All this and more awaits those who go there, even now, before it is completed. We enjoyed the trip to 1 and' from the mountain. Fred and Harry had rented the car from THE YOU- DRIVE-IT CO., and it only cost a small amount to make the trip—much cheaper than railroad fare, and-we diejn’t have to worry about “catching a train.” We went when we wanted to and came back the same way. . After this experience with a rented car for a day’s pleasure, Paula has just called me and says Fred and Harry want us to go to Tallulah Falls n,ext Sunday. That will be a wonderful trip also. The scenery'there rivals any in America—except there may not be so much of it. But it’s great enough to get out in the woods and tramp along the mountain streams at this time of the year— “he fall foliage is amazingly pretty. And as the boys have already engaged a “YOU-DRIVE IT” AR, and as it won’t cost them much, we are planning to go to Tallulah Sunday. Wish you were ere to go with us—you remember that “Witch’s Head” and what happened the last time “she” v us? Wonder where Ralph is noy>. I’ll tell you about the Tallulah trip and Hai;ry next time. ‘ Lots of love, EVELYN (‘«ubs”) Brilliant Play Wins From Madison High School In Opening Game Here Friday that has marked their play In the past. Eleven whole hearted men took the felld and ran like a wheel oiled machine. In Justice to the in vaders It*must be said that they were new and Inexperienced but howed good promise. They took a drubbing for‘the first game but the spirit they showed will be har« to down. To start the battle the homellngs received and scored within ona minute of play. The first few plays went something like this: Jack- son receives on hia five yard line and returns for forty yards. Dud ley around left end for ten yard's and on tho next play goes thirty yords for the first touchdown. Be hind great interference the Mroon backs were gaining almost at will so at the end of the first quarter the count stood at 25 to 0. At this Juncture Coach Brown sent In a full new team. These young lads did* themselvea proud in every sense of tho word. They kept up the work of tho varsity and looked mighty good. An un fortunate break gave the Invaders a touchdown on theso lads but they retaliated and pushed ono foro tho half ended with tho score 33 to 6. The varsity got back Into the fray in the last half and picked up their groat work o.t the otiher period. Led by the work of “Flash’’ Dudley who pui up & beautiful game, scoring four touchdowns. He had all that a back could wish for. This period also saw “Tad*’ Davla and “Dynamite’* Jackson at their best. Theso two lads showed the J>< also shares the laurels. Blocked punts, fumbles and oth er poor football added to the score of which the fans lost count after it past the half century mark. Here it must be said that the local line played excellent football go ing and coming. During the course of the evening not a single first down was gained’ by the opponents and Maroon forwards blocked three punts. They all starred Is all that could be said.
