IBB MERGER CLUSTER
January 25, 1924
Leap .Year slipped quietly in at
Bessie Tift. Since its arrival enthu
siasm and optimism have reached
reached the capacity stage with Bes
sie Tift students. The exhilarating
influence of Leap Year upon the girls
is highly pleasing to Dr. Chamlee
and Dean Alfriend, in fact Dean Al-
friend is so pleased that he is se
cretly working out a plan by which
he may improve on Julius Caesar and
have Leap Year fall every other year
for the next three years, and then
every year' by which time Bessie Tift
will have become a coeducational
college, Dr. Kurtz a Benedict, and
Mr. Polhill.a J. P. (meaning Justice
of the Peace).
At a recent faculty meeting, Miss
Bruner suggested that on each hall
a placard be hung, reading, “Do your
leuping early, girls,” This sugges
tion was met with hearty approval
by the faculty, and it is certain that
the girls will respond in their usual
pleasing manner.
Hilarity and enthusiasm seem to be
abroad among the- girl's, and when
asked the reason for such actions
the orie.unswer is always, “Oh, well,
you know it’s Leap Year.”.
man gave one of his only two con
certs offered to Georgia music lovers
on the evening of January 11. His
program was the same as that which
was heard at the Woman’s Club au
ditorium in Atlanta.
Another musical attraction i>f the
season will be William Waae Hin
shaw’s presentation of one of Mo
zart’s comic opera.
SENIORS IN CHARGE
The Senior Class has been ap
pointed by Superintendent W. G. Wel-
bourne, to have charge of the Sun
day school exercises in chapel during
the month of January. Two interest
ing programs have already been giv
en, and the others are planned to be
just a 3 pleasing. The first Sunday
the class as a whole occupied the
platform as choir, while special music
was rendered by a quartet, and Miss
Johnnie Baldwin read the Scripture.
Miss Ruth Simms, president of the
Senior class, had charge of the exer
cises. On the 20th Mr. George What
ley 1 gave a very, interesting address
on the tppic of the lesson.
MISS BRIDGES HERE.
• Every girl at Bessie Tift. College
looks with expectation on the visits
of Miss Eva Bridges.
Miss Bridges is a returned mis
sionary from Persia. She left that
country during the persecution by the
Turks. She herself was held a pris
oner for three months.
Miss Bridges tells Bessie Tift -girls
of her experiences at times and again
she lends the girls the inspiration of
her great personality in just simple
talks. Such a one was that on Sun
day night.
She talked of the beauty of worn-’
an's place, in the world and gave the
words 'of Paul uttered to the people
of his own time. Every girl was im
pressed with a new desire, to do her
best in the way God thinks best, arid
left with a feeling of. peace, and as
surance

Handel have .been played by Misses
Gwendolyn Jackson and Ola ■ Mae

DR. VAN DEVENDER SPEAKS
Dr. Van Devender, former pastor
of Jackson,: Ga., was' the guest of
Bessie Tift for several days last week.
Dr. VanDevender is a man noted
for his broad knowledge of the Bible,
history und literature. He has trav
eled abroad several times and his
accurate and thorough, knowledge of
the foreign countries makes his lec
tures on these subjects realistic as
well as beneficial. His talks in chapel
have included talks on the Bible, his
tory and literature. All have been
particularly helpful to college stu
dents, but his closing lecture on Ten
nyson was perhaps the mast beauti
ful and most inspiring to lovers of
literature.
It was with regret that Dr. Van
Devendor could not continue at the
college,' but he shall always be a Wel
come guest, and the college looks
forward to his return.

After the Glee Club, the Annual

a reception in the Upshaw Parlors.
