THE WOMEN’S SOCIAL SERVICE
LEAGUE.
An organization of the ladies of the
campus for the purpose of helping and
promoting the welfare and social life
of the people of the campus in general.
Mrs. J. D. Garner, president; Mrs. W.
B. Bizzell, vice-president; Mrs. R. P.
Marsteller, treasusrer; Mrs. Hayes,
secretary.
If you have not already grasped the
significance of the foregoing, lend me
your ear.
Have you wondered where our new
Y. M. C. A. piano came from? Do
you know just who is responsible for
the entertainments we are all still
speaking about? That last one we en
joyed so much? Why, it’s these la
dies with their league. Few of us have
yet begun to realize what real, practi
cal work they are doing for us, and
the plans they are now working on.
At the present time they are bending
their efforts toward furnishing and
equipping the Y. M. C. A. building in
such a manner that clubs and organiza
tions may have conveniences and a
place where their socials may be held.
We have a fine building, but many
necessary things are still lacking.
They have a social committee, with
Mrs. E. J. Kyle at its head, ready to
co-operate with any club or organiza
tion desiring to hold a reception. Mem
bers of this commitee will be pleased
to handle all the detail and arrange
ments as wanted, furnish chaperones,
or any other detail to help make the
affair a success. If you don’t believe
it, ask Mrs. Kyle.
All these things are being done with
the idea of making more of a social
atmosphere than has been possible in
the past. Some of us are a little shy
when girls are around, probably due
to the fact that we do not have them
with us often enough to get acquainted.
We now have a fine place to hold so
cials, and a fine league of campus
ladies trying to help us to get more
out of our lives here than we ever
have before. They have our welfare
at hand and want to know us better,
and make our stay here something
more than a mere existence. Do not
worry about having to get acquainted
with some nice girl you will want for
company at the next reception. Leave
it to the Ladies’ League. They will
look out for us now.
SOPHOMORE CLASS FOR BIBLE
STUDY.
This year sees a great work being
done by the Sophomore class for Bi
ble study, under the leadership of Dr.
Fountain. The class is the largest and
most uniform in attendance of any Sun
day School class heretofore organized
on the campus, and bids fair to make
the class of 1917 the most influential
body of men the college has had in
years.
Members of the Bible study class
have been gereous contributors to
everything that has been presented, no
tably the Belgian Relief Fund.
Socially the organization is a success,
as the boys have who been thoughtful
enough to take part in it will testify.
Other social events are now in con
templation, soon to have birth. We
believe in good society, and get a great
deal of inspiration and help from our
associations with the ladies, whom we
shall be pleased to call our honorary
members.
No man gains a better idea of life
and broadens his views by isolation.
We do not want to be isolated from
society. Meeting the best people and
mingling with those most cultured at
every oppoitunity is a part of one’s
education.
Does any man of the Sophomore
class dwell upon these thoughts and
facts without a feeling of pride in the
Bible study class? There is not a
doubt but that they are working for
the benefit of every man in the 1917
class, trying to gain for him more so
cial pleasures and more intellectual in
spiration. The ball is rolling, now,
boys; give it a boost; your individual
“shove” is needed. We want every
man in the 1917 class to feel that his
support is needed, and earnestly ex
pected. Let’s not leave this to “our
next door neighbor.” We want to be
men here, independent in every sense
of the word. The reason? Who will
fight for you when you get out into
the world? No one but yourself, and
now is a good time to get the habit.
Get out and be an active man, and reap
the benefits of it.
Only recently it was found that the
Bible study class had grown to such
proportions that it has been thought
best to divide it into three sections.
We are a battalion of three companies
now. Watch us grow, boys, we are
going to have a regiment soon. Go
ing to weld the whole Sophomore class
into a friendship of love and a social
circle so complete that others will im
itate us.
WEDNESDAY EVENING CHAPEL.
President Bizzell stated Monday
that the idea of Wednesday evening
chapel was not for a religious service,
but on the contrary it was only a
meeting of the students with the
faculty that they might be brought
in closer touch with each other. It
would also furnish a means of assem
bling the cadets to have some of the
foremost men of the State to address
them. As a rule the meeting would
be short, lasting only a few minutes,
and taking up the things that were
pertaining to the welfare of the
college.
