May ths relatonshp be characterzed by an ar of restrant and an mpenetrable barrer mpossble to dssolve? Or does there exst a feelng of frendly helpfulness and a desre to enter nto our school actvtes? The Sophomores, Junors, and Senors wll agree that a feelng of comradere mantans tself that s unusual n most of our colleges. Perhaps just at frst these new members of our college famly, who are just begnnng to come under the nfluences and personaltes of our faculty, fal to realze the fact that at S. T. C. we count the members of the faculty among our msot valued frends. n our classes we are consdered as ndvduals wth an ndvdual's rght to self expresson, and we are not as you mght suppose, lost n the mob. Our thoughts and dfferences of opnon are respected by our nstructors and always we fnd them eager to help ether personally or professonally. THE MANTLE OF SERVCE Frday nght Mrs. Thacker gave a very wonderful talk at prayers. n t she descrbed "a daughter of the Kng, all glorous wthn". Upon her she placed the snow whte mantle of servce. nspred by her words, all of 08 wshed that we mght have such a mantle upon our shoulders and wondered f there was one who wore t. There t one among us who s always servng. She does not publsh the fact, bll day alter day over a thousand grls demand her tme and energy. She gves of the best shp has, unselfshly and abundantly. Those whom she s servng sometmes do not even realze her work and efforts. Ths s because her servce s gven quetly wth no dsplay, but constantly and beautfully. We are Ml a worthy example and there are few of us who would not strve to lve up to t. Are we not fortunate n havng such an example? We apprecate the fact that we have Mss Mary Whte Cox to gudo us and help us. t s she, among us, who has always worn tn' snow whte mantle of unselfsh servce.

Walker GLLAM'S ENLARGED Grls have you seen GllamV.' Would you have ever recognzed t? one old grl walked n, looked around and sad, "Pardon me, 1 must be n the wrong place; do you know where Mr. Gllam has moved hs tor What's changed? Why he has enlarged t, only -x feet, but Oh, what a dfference t made! t s no longer the lttle store we left last June. There's so much extra room. Now when grls fly over all out of breath between classes and want a sandwch and Coca Cola, they have plenty of room to dgest t. No longer on Saturday nght wll t be so crowded we can hardly breathe. There's room for the old grls and the fresh men too, whose feet just naturally get the habt of turnng toward G'llam's at all hours of the day. "There's 'eats' for the old There's 'eats' for the new There's 'eats' for me Am 'eats' for you." And wth the enlarged store l an enlarged heart, where S. T. C. grls may fnd a spot that s refuge from worres and cares and where you may larger and larger grow. MDDES AND SKRTS f an old grad should suddenly descend nto our mdst, no doubt, she'd feel entrely at home. One can almost hear her remark, "0 t's just lke the old days. Why had no dea college grls of today wore mddes and skrts. The skrts are shorter than they were when wore them, but the dear old mddy blouses are just the same!" Anyone would thnk we had "reverted to type" to see the numerous grls rushng around wth a costume on, long ago consgned to gym classes exclusvely. Don't we see a varety? As the old grad would say the blouses are much the same, but look at the skrts! Blue ones, black ones, tan, green, yellow, red, just every color. Some are long and tght, others pleated, some rather crumpled, others trm. Ffty-seven varetes wouldn't begn to classfy them. Then there are the tes. They're all black, but look at the szes. A tny lttle grl rushes by wth qute an mposng black salor's knot. Then here wll come a tall, slm specmen wth a black bow so small that t looks more lke a boudor pllow bow than a mddy te. One lttle freshman, who no doubt has no separate skrt, trumphantly wears her blouse over a brght green dress. The fact that the dress s h^h necked and the blouse low, seems to bother her not at all. Even senors look on the work of the sophomore.-, and feel very "sophomorsh." The best part of t all s that most every where we see a mddy WS Bte a smle. We're all proud of ther sportsmanshp and we're tempted to hand them back the complment they gave the presdent of ther sster class Saturday njght, "An't they sweet?" FRENCH CRCLE HAS FRST MEETNG The frst meetng of the French Crcle was held after dnner on Wednesday, October 5th. The only bus- 10as attended to was the electon of offcers for the comng year. The selecton of thsm grls forecasts a good year for the organzaton. Presdent Catherne Bentlc\ Ves Presdent Marjore Codd Secretary Louse Vaughan Treasurer Frances Brghtwcll Reporter Harret Booker THE ROTUNDA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1927 A FRESHMAN SAYS: "t's terrbly funny to me that we have to buy 'rat' caps! The Sophomoe- say they can't recognze us unless we wear those dnky lttle old thngs. Yet. how's ths? They always say they can recognze a freshman by her 'green and frghtened men.' Then 'd lke to know what's the use of two sgns of recognton!! "'ll confess 'm pretty green though can't say 'm frghtened, and don't mnd beng cal'ed a 'rat' or a 'freshe', because that's what am, but 'll tell you exactly what do hate about ths 'rat' cap busness; t's the forty cents!!! "When you've got a mother who sad, 'Now daughter, remember ths s your allowance for ths month, and you wll not get another check before next month. Don't (spend your money for unnecessary thngs,' and she looked very severe! s a 'rat' cap necessary? "Wouldn't forty cents come n good when there's a dandy pcture on Saturday nght at the moves, and after buyng the 'rat' cap, there s only ffteen cents left? Now, want to ask you, wouldn't that make you mad even f you are Junor, a Senor or a Sophomore??" A Freshman WEAR THAT RAT CAP! How foolsh t s for a freshman to ask why she s forced to wear,a rat cap? s t not customary for all rats to wear caps? That lttle blue and whte creaton perched on the sde of your head thoroughly does away wth the ar of sophstcaton whch so many of you freshmen are tryng so hard to assume. t keeps you from dsplayng an over abundance of freshness. As for the pecunary sde of the queston 'm sure f Dad would see you wth blue and whte colors flyng from that precous head of yours, he would send the forty cents wthout delay. Freshmen, before makng further complants about rat caps, remember the old sayng that "lttle grls should be seen and not heard." THE SOPHOMORES COMNG SENOR STUNT Stop for the Senor stunt! Look for the chorus's! Lsten to the musc! t's comng, the bggest stunt of the year. The whole Senor class s partcpatng n t. Chorus's, a ragtme court scene, vaudevlle; everythng you could wsh for n lne of fun and frolc and to make an evenng complete. One last flng before the nstallaton of the Senors. Come and see them as they really are before they put on that tradtonal ar of dgnty. Come Monday nght, the -eventeenth, and prepared for a jolly good tme. MR. T. A. McCORKLE RETURNS TO S. T. C. At last the S. T. C. grl feels completely at home. Mr. T. A. Mc- Corkle, a beloved member of our faculty, has returned to resume hs dutes, after havng been absent on account of sckness. We have mssed hm greatly durng our attempts to get settled. The new grls, too, have been deprved of one of the most precous recollectons of S. T. C, for the frst mpresson of our college s not complete wthout the famlar smle and cheery words of Mr. Mc- Cokle. We are glad to welcome hm hack. Come out lor tenns and hockey! THE FRESHMEN'S RESPONSE f all the freshmen read the frst ssue of The Rotunda then we should feel more satsfed and contented wth our new home. After the welcome expressed n the school paper along wth the entre student body's nterest n us, we ar gong to settle down and do great thngs. Everyone wll have to admt that the frst few days of college lfe as a freshman are hard, but after we get nto the sprt of t gee! but t's great A remark common among the freshmen s "f ever get to be an upper classman wll never forget how a " at" feels," and we meant t too for when an elder student smled or spoke as we passed them, t sure made us feel good. Freshmen, have you notced the dfferent organzatons open to us? The Dramatc Club, Choral Club, Debatng Socety, Lterary Socety, Tenns, Hockey, etc. Let's jon n and work. Then we won't have tme to get homesck and blue. A Freshman OUR FRESHMEN What a loss t would be, f suddenly the freshman class would vansh! Yes, the student body would have a rather vacant feelng. n fact, t would be a spneless affar, because the freshman class s the backbone of S. T. C. A class that makes up half of the student body must necessarly feel ts mportance and so we fnd the newcomers, mportant beyond words. We are glad though that we have a wde-awake bunch to work wth. They are enthusastcally nterested n all of the school actvtes. Already we are feelng the effect of ther presence on the athletc feld. To the old students the freshmen mean new lfe. Some of ther vtalty have put new vgor nto our organzatons. The wllngness of the class to help n any way has made an mpresson on the upper classes. Those that have had drect contact wth the class know how responsve t s. Freshmen, the upper classes are lookng to you for support. Success ths year depends upon you. We feel that our fath n you s more than justfed. FORMER S. T. C. GRL HGHLY HONORED Mss Adrenne Rchards, a former S. T. C. grl and member of the Rotunda staff, has made her Alma Mater proud of her.
