ALPHA zETAs PICNIC RECEPTION

One of the most pleasant social
occasions of the year or rather OF
many years occurred Monday even
ing when the members of Alpha Zeta
entertained their many friends at n
picnic reception. At about four
fifteen the guests started from
Ladies Hall and wendell their way
through shady lanes and forest
primeval to natures banquet hall
which in this case was located near
the base of Twin Mountain. As they
drew near the scene Of feasting and
mcrriment they found a bountiful
supply of sparkling water waiting
to refresh those who wished. When
each had had his wants supplied he
passed on through somewhat Of a
heavy underbrush that lined each
side of the path till suddenly the
scene changed and before the eyes
Of the astonished visitors was
sight that will long be remembered.
Under the sheltering pines a spot
had been cleaned and rugs had been
laid: around the border hemlock
boughs among which was mingled
bits of white formed hedge that was
more beautiful than the wall of any
dwelling. The guests found seats III
coy places and chatted about the
wonder of the place till suddenly
the orchestra began march and at
the same time the white rObed
walters entered from a sheltered
door at the rear. all in line and in
step and with their hands full of the
most appettizing food. After all had
eaten till they could eat no more
the orchestra called all together
and Mr. Eccles. master Of ceremo-
MES, rendered a most hearty well
come to all present and explained
Alpha Zeta's new custom. Then fol-
lowed an evening Of delightful
speeches and simple talks, intersper-
sed with strains from the orchestra
that rendered the best of music; the
very informal programme was
closed by a short talk by the Dean,
a speech that was enjoyed by all
and will long be remembered. Thus
the moonlight walk home began
with everybody explaining what
wonderful time it was and that no
one would forget il. Alpha Zeta is
to be congratulated in her ability to
leave the path Of custom and initiate
such pleasant affair as a picnic re-
ception. The honor Of the whole
affair goes to Mr.. ROBBIE, for by his
efforts the thing was a complete
success.

VOLUNTEER BAND

Miguel Tamayo led the meeting OF
the Volunteer Band Sunday after
noon. He told about the educational
and religious conditions in Cuba,
and spoke of the declining influence
of the Catholics, stating that they
are gradually loseing their hold on
the island. The conditions are such,
however, as to challenge the notice
of the mission workers and should
not be overlooked by those prepar-
ing for that kind of service. Not
only does the country need them

DROP ONE TO COLLEGE

The College Department managed
to put one over on the Academy
Monday afternoon when they won a
five-inning game by a score Of 1 to 4.
Captain Mckinney was not in the
lineup but was present on the field.
Neither did the Academy boys,
especially Perry the pitcher, under
stand that a five-inning game had
been agreed upon until the end OF
that inning. The absence Of the
stellar third baseman upset the Red
and Green infield. but the Academy
was just getting the measure OF the
College pitcher when the game
ended abruptly.

AELIoIAN HOLDS OPEN MEETING

The Academy Department and the
many other friends Of Aelio;an were
delightfully."- entertained by the girls
Of that society, Saturday evening,
April 81. in the Parish House. The
following program was successfully

half included numbers which con-
WINGED the minds of the audience
that woman plays as great part in
war as man. The last half was, as
everybody expected, humorous and
witty. In their play the brave girls
and everybody believing that the
Germans were at our back doors.

GIRLS ARE AWAKE TOO

Perhape many Of you have heard
so little about the Academy girls
societies that you think they have
died a peaceful death or are rest
ing in dreamless sleep. This is by
no means the case.
Since the election Of new officers
for the spring term the AeliOian
and SOrorian societies are coming
TO the fore and are showing what
girls can do i'm the way Of interest
ing and helpful programs. Every
Saturday night there is such a pro-
gram in each society. We think
that our life as literary groups is
almost half of our school expert
ence, as il brings the girls closer
together, and promotes good fell
lowship among them. II also in
creases our literary and dramatic
ability and develops our poise and
self-expression. In the busy life at
Berea there would be little time
for the girls TO get together and en-
joy themselves were il not for the
literary societies.
To show what they are doing. the
Aelioian girls are going TO give an
open meeting on the twenty-first Of
April. TO which the whole Academy
Department will be invited. A sim
liar program is being considered by
the Sororians. Both societies expect
and hope for the hearty co-opera-
tion and support OF the Academy
Department. IF. S.

at home, such as faithfully milking
a COW, splitting kindling, carrying
wood or water, feeding chickens
and stock, washing dishes, making
a bed, baking bread or cake, making
jelly, getting a meal, etc.

much for the good OF our school

Y. w. C. A.

The meeting of the Y. w. C. A.
Sunday night was led by Miss
Swack. The hour was taken up by
discussions on the many problems
met by the mountain school teacher.
The general discussion formed it.

helpful suggestions were offered by
a number Of the members. II is

work in one case will probably fail
in another. But at the end of the

that they were greatly helped by

ITS GREAT TO BE OUT"

This was the expression Of about
fifty young people Of the College
Department who took their supper
down on the creek Monday evening
in the form Of an outdoor spread.
The joy Of being out in the open
and cooking over the fire on the
rocks was prominent in every face.
The food will actually seem TO taste
better when prepared in this way.
II is indeed great to be out in the
open once-in-a-while and breathe
the odors from campfire supper.

Homemade cheese or the CORE
spending variety bought in the mar
ket, being far less rich than the or
binary cheese, combines more easily
with other foods. II is not incom-
patible with moderately-rich salads,
fruit salads for example, made with
French, boiled or mayonnaise dress
ing. In fact, fruit salads, bread and
butter and cottage cheese make al
most a complete meal.

GIBRALTAR HOLDS OPEN
MEETING

Last Saturday night, the Gibral-
tar Literary Society rendered an
excellent program in Upper Chapel.
Humor and comedy predominated
and every number held the indi-
vidual interest Of the large audi
ence.
The President Eddie C. Bratcher,
in his welcome address pointed out
that the society was one Of the
youngest on the Campus and thank
cd the visitors for their helpful
encouragement evidenced by their
presence.
Mr.. Smithers read very vivid
account Of trip around the world in
1910. His travel brought him in
contact with a large number Of the
present Vocational students as they
were dscharfng their duties OF
running the Universe. Finally he
took his life IN his hands by init
mating that one Of the Faculty men,
bcrs had contracted very dreadful
disease.
The quartet, which never fails TO
come forth with something good,
was even better than usual on this
occasion. The Department should
feel proud Of these four boys. for
authorities have recently pronounce
ed this the best musical organiza-
ton in the College.
Mr.. Bowles should be congratula-
ted upon selecting a monologue TO
which he is so well suited by his
daily experiences.
Mr.. Sandlin displayed great abil-
ity as a comedian in his ministerial
roll.
The most classic number OF the
program was a patriotic Grafton by
Mr.. Dixon. Some have since pre-
dicted that Chester's voice will be
heard in the halls of Congress, some
day.
A very appropriate play was rem
dered at the last, during which the
nationality Of Fredric Smyth was
discovered. All are now treasured
that he Is not a German sympathi-
zer.
