NEWS OF MONTEVALLO
 ATJTMNAE SUMMER SCHOOL

MONTEVALLO, Ala, Aug, 21-The alumnae have had jolly good time the past two weeks sitting together for meals. A special table, long enough to accommodate all, was al- lowed them by the courtesy of Miss Sarah Apperson, food supervisor, and one of their number.
 Almost every night at dinner, something happened for their enter tainment, provided by some, or all of their own number. One clever stunt was the entrance of Miss Evelyn Scott during dinner; she wore the uniform of the old days-black shoes and hose, dark skirt, white waist, black tie, the gray coat, and black cap. she seemed very happy to meet so many of her old friends ana especially the teachers, Miss Brooke. Miss Leeper and others, and pr. Palmer.
 Another time all come down as ye children. They attracted much at tention and favorable comment. Kathleen DeShazo in a pink voile with two plaits hanging down her back made typical sassy little girl Volena Whaley's curls, assisted by a most becoming blue Jill costume riv- alled those of Jean Ford, Evelyn Scott, Amy Rhodes Hooper and Caro- lyn Pollard. During dinner these lassies arose and gave a swinging action song. As an encore they sang a popular college air. After dinner children's games were played in the assembly hall.
 The centerpiece for the table was unusually attractive and appropriate for this occasion, being a little school house, surrounded by flowers, etc. Dollies in their pink and blue dresses with books under their arms were in the school yard. For favors, a red stick of candy lay at the plate of each.
 Many visitors have been Invited to this table. some of them being Bess Williams, Laura Capell, Marion Grant, Kathleen DeShazo and Eloise Mernoye, (alumnae) Naomi McKib- bon.
 Monday night the alumnae invited pr. and Mrs. Palmer and Miss Stella Palmer Gan alumna) to dine with them. The table was at its prettiest, a large basket of goldenglows being in the center. Each plate was marked by most attractive place card made in the form of a diploma and tied with purple ribbon; 1t stood in vase form and contained a yellow daisy
 Most of the alumnae will go from school home for short stay before returning to their respective duties. Miss Virginia Hendricks will prob- ably go to Birmingham for the win- ter to do some kind of office work. Several will return to Montevallo; Miss ollie Tillman as nurse; Misi Sarah Apperson as assistant food supervisor; Mises Julia Kimbrough and Ruth Cunningham to complete work for a degree. Those who will teach are; Misses Jean Ford, Annie Laurie Robertson, Lillian Malone, LaVerne Brown.
