LENORIAN-SIGMA TAU

Friday afternoon, April 80, the
members of Lenorian and brother
society, Sigma Tau, had an outing
from $3.50 10 800 y. m.
In spite of the fact that il had
rained for about two hours in the
first part of the afternoon, when the
sun came out so bright about p. m.
all members began to hustle TO get
things together and promptly at
$50. twenty-eight of us left James
Hall with Professor Peck as chaper-
on. Each one shared his part OF
the load of eats and cooking uten-
sils. After hiking out Walnut
Meadow Pike for about one mile
we found a very suitable place to
cook our supper.
When the boys had built two big
camp fires, we set to work and in
short time had our eats prepared
We found that some of the boys
were efficient cooks and we are
proud they are our brothers.
When supper was over, and our
baskets packed, we played games
and had a jolly time until 1880, then
started for home, coming back
by a different route.
We found that Professor Peck
was as young as any Of us, and now
we know why all the walking par
ties insist that he be their chaper-
on.
We were home by 800 o'clock; all
members of both societies reported
a happy time and wish this kind
of a party would come more often.

YOUNG woMENs CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION

Miss Marjorie Lee led the Y. w.
C. A. meeting at Ladies Hall, Sun
day, May 2nd. The topic discussed
was The Love of the Out-of-Doors."
Appropriate hymns with their mes
sages of joy and hope were sung
and enjoyed. That Berea girls en-
joy Gods out-Of-doors is evidenced
by the number who walk on Sunday
afternoons to various points of in
terest. Miss Lee brought out the
fact that nature not only refreshes
our eyes with its beauty and lowell
ness but il also brings a content
ment of soul, for in nature we see
God. The flowers teach us humility,
purity and sweetness: in the stars
we find the breath of Gods handl-
work and on the mountain tops we
can catch new visions. feel new as
pirations and come closer to God:
and there find strength to go on with
our daily tasks and serve Him bet
ter. still, Still with Thee" Mrs.
Stoves beautiful hymn, sung by

heart of every girl present.

BASEBALL

Last Saturday the Academy team
played Foundation a nve-inning
game and won 10 TO 3. There is
little TO say about the game. The
score speaks for itself. Suffice IL TO
say that in one inning the team
scored six runs before an out was
made. Foundation has a plucky
team TO say the least. Their pitcher,
who is but a lad, struck out as
many men as any pitcher who has
faced Academy. There is another
thing about Foundation 10 be ad-
mired: although they have lost all
their games this year they make no
protest. They are square all around.

The Y. NJ. C. A. meeting was con-
Quoted in Main Chapel by Mr.. Kari
ZerfOss, Students Secretary of the
Y. NJ. C.. A. of the State.
The purpose of the meeting was
TO have more Berea students attend
the summer conference of the Y. M
C. A. at Blue Ridge, N. C.
Mr.. Zerfoss gave an illustrated
lecture on the Blue Ridge Confer
ence. The picture slides that were
shown were beautifully colored and
showed familiar scenes of Blue
Ridge. Dean Clark gave a brief
talk on why more students should
attend these summer conferences
Mostly college students of the South
attend. The sessions are led by
leading educational Christian men,
giving instructions upon secular and
spiritual topics. More Berea stu
dents should attend these confer
ences, because of their educational
ard spiritual value.
The orchestra played when You

GIRLS FIELD DAY

The Girls Field Day" which was
briefly noticed last week was an
event of special importance marking,
as we hope, the beginning Of an
annual event Of great significance to
girls. The splendid work done
with Indian Clubs shows the benefit
OF trained teacher. We hope that
a physical director for women NAV
make it possible for all departments
to have training another year. We
can do nothing better for our girls
than to send them back home with
sound bodies as well as sound minds
Miss Ackley has been untiring
throughout the year in her interest
and effort, and the success of the
day is due to her. The student
teachers were handicapped by not
having their classes scheduled early
enough TO properly drill their girls
Thanks are due TO the boys for
their part in making the day sue
cess.
