Schoolof Expression

Nature has certainly been generous in slewering mankind with rare gifts How rich is the field of Expression in food for the mind and soul. Just how many lives have been influenced, and how many cares forgotten in rapt attention to a good reader is impossible to esti- mate. Athens College feels it's student bcdy possesses great talent in this art, and every care is taken to develop 1t. Several splendid recitals are given during the year. to say nothing of the plays which display. besides talent. the coaching of an experienced and capable person.
 The best play of the season so far has been The Coloners Maid" given by the Mary Norman Moore Literary Society.

It was the general opinion before the evening was over that any man was ex- cnsable for falling in love with the Maid It they were all as attractive as Marjorie Byrd. The proverbial French Maid had nothing on her in her clever handling of the two men, and in winning the consent of both to her marriage with her faith ful lover. Bob Rudd The young lady taking the rart of Bobb Rudd certainly proved herself to bs "one of the boys when she struck that match in true masculine fashion.
