Florida State College for Women. we
feel like the proverbial Old Woman
VINO had so many children she didn't
know what to do. The wheel is swing
ing fuIl circle, and we have forgotten
all about the life of dreamful ease we
were living two weeks ago.
Last week was week of organiza-
tion Glasses met and elected officers
for the ensuing year. The Minerva
Club and ITALIAN Literary Society had
their regular meetings on Saturday
night to which all the new girls were
cordially invited. Both of these organ
izations are planning and outlining a
definite course of study. The Young
Women's Christian Association is
making every one feel at home, and
comforting home sick girls. Friday,
Sept 7th, the Alumnae who are taking
work in the college. held an inspiring
meeting, and arranged to meet regu-
larly during the following months.
Five of these Alumnae are working
for Masters degrees: Miss Cedora
Futch, 10, Miss Maude wtll<ison, 10,
Miss Pearl McLin. 10. Miss Nancy
Choate, '12 Miss Nell Kinney. ~. And,
finally, the students, in mass-m meeting.
organized the Athletic Association
and what they did calls for new par
agraph.
A Big Mass Meeting.
When over three hundred. students
hold a mass meeting you feel like
throwing up your hat and crying three
cheers for the universe! Something
worth while is always done. Well, this
particular mass meeting first elected
for itself a worthy president, Miss
Halle Deaton, and other worthy Of
f1cers. It also imposed upon itself an
annual fee of twenty-five cents mem
Der. Two hundred and eighty one
students cents apiece;
not an inconsiderable financial back
ing. Then the following clubs were
formed, with an enthusiastic athlete
as chairman of each; a walking club,
swimming club, tennis and basket ball
club, indoor baseball, field hockey
and we have visions of push-ball. The
most expert swimmers play water
polo. You see we are trying to prevent
brain flag. Let no man say that Jack
will be a dull boy because he has no
play.
1t Is Mrs. Cawthon's custom to pro-
vide some special form of entertain
ment for the girls every Thursday
evening during the SOCIAL hour after
a feature in the school life They are
profitable as well as entertaining. Last
Thursday evening Miss Harris, di-
rector of the School of Home Econo-
mics, gave an informal talk on table
manners. It is not surprising that some
of us are not acquainted with those
absurd things many teachers have in
troduced into common good manners. I"
The Kindergarten training depart

children being enrolled.
We take pleasure in announcing that
the scholarship offered by the Alum
nae Association of the Florida State
College for Women has been awarded
to Miss Leila Norton, Dundee, Florida.
Miss Leila Norton is a sister of Miss
Lizzie Norton, 1911 graduate of the
F. w. c. This is the first year the
Alumnae Association has been in q
position to offer a scholarship though
it has long desired to do so. Hence
forth the Alumnae Scholarship will be
permanent.
We have not said a word about the
new dormitory. It Is still building
to put it in a scholarly style. We shall
tell you more about this wonderful
building some other time. We thank
those citizens of Tallahassee who have
been kind enough to provide homes
for US, students and teachers, until the
new building is completed.
