On request, several Garrett mem-
bers of musical ability presented a

The program was as follows:
Accordion Solo ................ Carl Brandt

The audience was also rendered two
selections by the Silvertone Quintet,

JUST AN INCH OR TWO
BIG PARTY AT DORMITORY
The first party of the season was
given at the Dormitory Monday eve-
ning. The main purpose was to wel-
come our new members into our so-
cial circle and show them how much
we value their presence and member-
ship.
The program was begun by play-
ing progressive “42”. Everyone en-
joyed that for about half an hour and
then we were favored by a few musi-
cal numbers. Miss Trontwein and
Lillie Ward gave several violin selec-
tions, which everyone appreciated.
“Happy” Campbell rendered a read-
ing on “Husbands”. Whether she gave
it from experience or just hearsay,
we are not able to say, but she did in-
imate that she was looking for one,
or would be soon. We then were fav-
ored by a vocal solo from Marie Shir-
ley. Everyone imposed on her just
because they liked to hear her sing
and had her to sing several.
After the musical everyone took
part in a grand march, led by Miss
Lorwman and Miss Jackson. After the
march everyone partook in a tag or
“broom” dance.
Almost at once, it seemed, time
came to depart. Everyone said that
it was the jolliest party that we have
ever had and firmly decided that it
should not be our last.

First Garrett Meeting
Of New Year Brings
Interesting Program
On January 13 the first meeting of
the new year, a number of Garrett
members presented an interesting pro-
gram to the society in the form of a
“Kangaroo Court.”
Now listen to my story
Of a hero young and brave;
Who like the Dutch boy, Peter,
Kept back the chilling wave.
No dyke withheld the surges
Of the North Wind’s chilling hate
As it heat against the windows
Of room three-O-one, at eight.
Strategic the position
Of a pasted strip of white
That covered up a gaping hole;
It defied the North Wind’s might.
And now a sudden gust of wind
Has this frail harrier torn,
The hole stands out in sharp relief
Of its protector shorn.
And now the North Wind’s demons
Pile through this jagged rent,
And all the fury of the gale
Is by the Storm God sent.
Frail mortals quail in terror
And all shivver with fright;
They cower cold and stricken;
They feel the North Wind’s might.
But one is in this company,
The president of our class,
Who bravely iumps up; with a cap
He stops the hole in the glass.
This lad is much applauded
Before Christmas a foundation had
been laid for a new movement which
is to be put over in our school, but
it was not until after the beginning
of the new year that definite action
was taken. Miss Brogdon met with
the Advisory Council and they discuss-
ed the proper length for the college
girl’s dress, which they believed,
should he below the knee. Before ren-
dering their decision they summoned
to their counsel several representative
college boys and Miss Peggy Peter-
son, a former student of the college,
who has had the privileeg of attend-
ing some of the largest style shows in
the United States. All those consult-
ed heartily favored the idea that the
girl’s dress should cover her knees.
Then the proposition was put before
the senior girls, who readily sanc-
tioned it.
At the first meeting of all college
girls they were told of this new and
better plan—their dresses were to
cover their knees. The manner in
which the girls accepted this plan is
evident when we know that not a
glance nor a murmur of resentment
passed through the assembly of girls.
Every girl on the hill is complying
whole-heartedly with the request sug-
gested in this new plan, for as they
say while ripping the hem: “It’s just
an inch or two.”

ALLIE EVANS LITERARY CLUB
The senior class held its first regu-
lar meeting of the new term on Mon-
day morning, January 10, with Ber-
nard Biggs presiding.
The question was proposed as to
whether those students now in office
should hold "their respective places for
the remainder of the year, or whether
new officers should be elected at the
beginning of each term, a majority
vote rendering decision in favor of
the latter.
The following officers were elected:
Bernard Biggs, re-elected president;
W. T. Donoho, vice-president; Flor-
ence Taylor, secretary-treasurer;
Helen Barnes, Star reporter. Archie
Lewis was elected on the Welfare
Council to fill the vacancy caused by
Lyons McCall's withdrawal from
school. Elizabeth Goodman was elect-
ed chairman of the social committee
and Douglas Uzzell, chairman of the
invitation committee, each having the
power of appointing other members of
the class to serve with them in that
capacity.
Rumors are in the air of the oc-
currence of many social activities dur-
ing the coming months. The senior
class, rather, dormant during the fall
term, now has an over-abundance of
enthusiasm, with plenty of pep to back
it up!
INVITATION NOTICE
The freshmen girls of SWTTC and
Miss Brogdon, dean of women, take
this opportunity to extend to the
senior girls of suib-college a cordial
invitation to a party give* in the
girls’ gym on Thursday afternoon,
from 4:30 to 5:45 p. m.

person, whose affections were badly
tried, was Darrell Barron.
Lillie Garrett was tried for stealing
the affections of Darrell Barron from
Lillian Smith. The climax was reach-
ed when a large photograph of Miss
Garrett was found in Mr. Barron s
pocket after a search by Sheriff Wil-
burn Bagley. After much deliberation
on the part of the jury, Miss Gar-
rett’s sentence was that for six
months she could not kiss a single
boy.
This type of entertainment was
found to be a complete success.
But truth will out; ’twas not his cap
That stopped the window frame.

The cap in truth belonged, '
He cared not; he did not know
That he’d been greatly wronged.

Wins honors to extremes
While someone else—pshaw, he did
nought,
He just furnished the means.

The Allie Evans Literary club held
its first meeting of the year Friday

gog and those who want to have their
pictures in it should pay dues at once.
Club pins will be ordered as soon as
the design is completed and bids ar-
ranged with the local jeweler.

made: Ella Hornung was elected sec-
retary, Miss Cora Lay one of the
sponsors to take Miss Green’s place.

freshments of tea. and cakes were
served to those in attendance. The
hostesses were Lucille Lang, Mabel
