up our new duties with hands that are little "shaky" but with heads and hearts that are willing to do all in our power to make "The Scroll' for 1923, a booming success. We realize that the task is big and the oppor- tunity great, but the future for La- Grange college is the greatest in its history and through the publication of "The Scroll' we intend to put this college on the map.

To those girls who are leaving us this year—we'll miss you more than we can ever tell, but we wont forget you and through "The Scroll' as a medium of exchange, we want to keep up with you and your work. Don't forget Alumnae section of the paper and remember that news from you at any time will be appreciated.

Together with hand, heart and brain, let us work for a greater Scroll and for a greater LaGrange.

A SOPHOMORE SOLILOQUY ON THE USES OF A BROOM

"Good-bye" will soon be said and this school year will have come to a clc.se. This has been a glorious year in many respects for L. C. Some of our dearest dreams have been realized and we have reached achievements that we have long hoped to reach. To us our greatest achievement has been the publication of the Scroll. We feel that we cannot give too much praise to our old Editorial Staff. Thoy have worked diligently and faithfully and hpve made "The Scroll" a great suc- C< ss, thus far.

We, as the new Editorial staff take

A broom is a useful weapon for killing bugs, mice and bats which stray into your room at night. You may hold it at the end and strike the bug without endangering your- self by coming "too elbse to the buz- zTri'g; intruder.

A broom is also a handy house- hold device. It is a very effective prop for a wardrobe door. It is also a very handy thing to use in fishing stray hairpins from beneath your bed and dresser. It serves as a black'ng brush when your next door neighbor has borrowed yours and can't find it. By tying ' it to the light at an angle of 45 degrees, a broom makes an excellent foot-rest. You may use the handle as a poker and the straw as sprayer. Som? of the girls say they en eat it when they get real hungry but I haven't tried that yet. Since a rroom has so many uses, it isn't any wonder that you never can find one v.hen Miss Saxon says your room nei ds sweeping.

Velma Folds; captain, Elizabeth Bug- ler.

Next year these officers have de- termined to make a star year for the society and with the help of the faithful old girls and the new mem- bers this old hill will ring with the enthusiasm of good Mezzos, and, far and wide, from L. C. to the most dis- tant town of an "old girl" the dome." o- the girls who still are carrying our standard will be known and with the cry will sing:

Long may our banner of black and gold,

Wave over Mezzo's true, whether young or old.

TO MY MOTHER

Foi all the love you've given me, For all the prayers you've prayed, Foi all the tears and all the cares The sacrifice you've made, For all I am or can become, For all in me that's true, I want to thank you, mother mine, For all to you is due. And to the God who loves you— Upon my knees I pray, To send a wealth of happiness To you, this Mother's Day.

MOTHER

As years ago, we carried to your knees

Tiic tales of treasures of eventful days,

Knowing no deed too humble for your praise,

Nor any gift too trivial to please. So still we bring with older smiles

and tears, What gifts we may, to claim the old

dear right; Your faith, beyond the silence of the

night, Your love still close and watching

thru the years.—Kathc-rine Norriss.

SPECIALS

On L. C. hill one does not need to be told that commencement is near if she happens to come in contact with any domestic science or art stu- dents. These "special girls" are get- ting ready for their annual commence- ment exhibition which is always look- ed forward to with great enthusiasm.

Under the efficient supervision of Miss Bason, instructor in the domes- tic art department, the dresses are receiving their finishing touches. Even now, to go into the exhibit room reminds one of being in a modiste shop on Fifth avenue. Such frills :.nd laces! Not only does Miss Bason send out designers of a rare sort, but she has trained some excellent cooks as well.

Everyone in the art department is working overtime to get the last piece of china finished and the final touches on her pictures for the dis- play. We fondly think our exhibit ranks with the Souvre in Paris, and we hope that all the art;sts of the ruvrounding country will come and view our work of the year.

This department under the direc- tion of Miss Black has grown very extensively during the past year, and the students show more interest and onthus'asm than has been rhown in several yearn. Even those who never dreamed of taking art before have succumbed to the fascination of the pallet and brush, and are turning out some very splendid work.

Altogether, the special class has lived up to its name, and has a most successful year to look back upon.

SENIOR BANQUET

President and Mrs. W. E. Thomp- son entertained the senior class and their sponsors at a delightful dinner at the Charles hotel in West Point or Saturday evening. The party en- joyed the truck ride to West Point very much.

The table was beautifully decorated with large quantities of sweet peas and roses in silver baskets. In the center was a great mound of the flow- er;- and others in baskets artistically arranged. Beautiful hand painted place cards with the senior flower, and an Oxford cap, marked the plans. Under her napkin each girl found her future prophesied in rhyme, and the reading of these caused much amuse- ment.

THE LAST OF US AS JUNIORS

Oh, girls, girls! Do you realize that we have only a few more days ::i which to bear the name of Juniors; end do you realize that when we see this hill again that we shall be the Senior class of 1922-23, to which every one shall look to break the records ?

We have been seeing the Seniors of this year have a good time. But our motto is, "Every dog has his day," and ours is next year.

Since this is the last article we shall put in "The Scroll" as Juniors, we deem it our privilege to publish our will to the incoming Junior class.

We, the Junior class of 1921-22, do hereby, in our perfect right and sane m'nd, will and bequeath the incom- lip Junior class all of your privileges

and dignities; privileges, such as go- ing to the picture show twice a month at night; the privilege of lead- ing the line to church recitals, and elsewhere; the privilege of having among their number the vice-pres- idents of the student government; the privilege of having dates on Sunday nights, and all other privileges which v/e, as Juniors, have enjoyed, and we do sincerely wish that many others may be added. We do also will and bequeath such dignities as we have graced on many and various occas- ions, and any others which they may deem necessary to add.

I, Susie Ogletree, do will and be- queath the privilege and duty to B. A. Teasley, of keeping perfect quiet and order in the Hawkes building. I, Lois Brand, do will and bequeath to Margaret Snrth, the privilege of be- ing a Junior debater, (hoping that she may not win because the Seniors must win). I, Emily Park, do will and bequeath to Lillian Clark, the privi- lege of being the other Junior de- bater, and do also repeat Lois Brand's wish. I, Myrtle Cline, do will and bequeath to Grace Hale, the privilege of rooming with the president of the student body, and of being a perfect model for other girls. I, Mary Hod- nett, do will and bequeath to Mary Lane, my art of champion Junior swimmer.

Thus we, the out-going Juniors, have disposed of all our privileges, dignities and duties as Juniors to the incoming .luniorr, and we do hope and trust that they shall endeavor to keep the standards ."id honor as Juniors of LaGrange College.

FRESHMEN VICTORIOUS OV- ER SOPHOMORES

On the night of Friday, May 5th, the freshmen met the sophomores in a most interesting debate. The sub- ject being, Resolved, That the British government is more democratic than that of the United Staes.

The freshmen, who represented the affirmative side, chose for their speak- ers Miss Annie de Jamette, Miss Alice Turner, and Miss Gladys Spruell as captain. The negative speakers were Miss Lillian Clark, Miss Margaret Smith and Miss Varina Dunbar as captain.

There were well written speeches on both sides, and the delivery was very good.

The debaters, in their pretty spring frocks, appealed to the eyes as well as to the ears of the audience.

Naturally as this is written from a freshman point of view, we consid- er our girls the star debaters of the evening. The judges, Mr. L. B. Wyatt, Dr. Rembert Smith and Mr. Sullivan, evidently formed the same decision, for (hey awarded the beau- tiful ten cent zinc cup to the fresh- men. Decorating it in pink and green, we joyfully bore it to the college parlor's.

There was much enthusiasm on both sides, but the freshmen almost tore the roof off with their yelling.

After the debate, the students en- joyed an evening of open-house.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The tennis tournament between the different classes was held on Fri- day and Saturday, May 19th and 20th.

The college letters were awarded to those winning in singles and doubles.

Those girls winning the letters were: Misses Emily Park, Bonnie Hale, Grace Hale and Ethel Edwards.

Beautiful in evei-y detail was ihe wedding of Miss Annie Belle Hutch- inson, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Hutchinson, of Senoia, and Mr. Henry E. Draper, of Lake Wales, Florida, which was solemnized on Tuesday, Aprn the eighteenth, at five o'clock in the afternoon, at the Meth- odist church in Senoia, the Rev. San-1 ford B. Stout officiating.

The altar was a mass of Easter lilies, smilax and catliedral candles, above it rose an arch of smilax and lilies, beneath which the ceremony was performed. Just before the bridal party entered Mrs. Sanford B. Stout sang, "I Love You," accompanied by Mrs. Walter Baggarly, who also ren- dered the wedding march.

The little tulle bearers, Misses Mary Freeman and Wilhena Noland in frocks of white organdy and Jen- nie Hayden Williams and Connie Dean Stout in green organdy opened the floral gates at the foot of the aisles. The ushers were Messrs. J. B. Hutcheson, brother of the bride, and Harry Hardy, of Senoia; Roy Hutchinson, of Atlanta, and Roy Hardnett, of West Point. The groomsman was Mr. Jack Aycock, of Carrollton.

Miss Mary Lee Hutchinson, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, and Mrs. J. Carmichael Greer, as matron wore becoming frock:; of green or- gandy with picture hats of the same bearing touches of pink. They car- ried arm bouquets of sweetheart roses. The flower girl, little Miss Ruth Estes, dressed in green organdy, scattered rose petals from her dain- ty basket while little Miss Ruth Cur- tis Robeson in a fluffy frock of white organdy, carried the ring in the heart o;' a lily which was tied with pink tulle.

The bride, who entered on the arm of her father, wore a gown of white satin crepe, Spanish lace and hand- made roses made en train, while her veil of illusion was caught with orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of bride's roses showered with lilies d the valley. The groom was at- tended by Alex Amette, of Deland, Florida, as best man.

Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Diaper left for an ex- tended trip to Jacksonville, St. Pe- tersburg and other points in Florida. After May the first they will be at home at Lake Wales, Florida.

ALUMNAE DAY MAY 27, 1922

The LaGrange chapter of the Alumnae is planning for a full day of entertainment for the visiting Alumnae.

The business meeting will begin a". eleven o'clock Saturday morning. At this time the general business of the Alumnae will be transacted, and a report made from each local chapter. Three local chapters will tell of the meetings held, its membership, dues collected, subscriptions taken for the Scroll, and the personal work done for the College.

A report of each class will bs given by one of its members. These reports will be very interesting and inspir- ing, for our students are serving in almost every capacity of life.

At one o'clock a picnic luncheon will be served on the campus. We hope that all the space between the Smith building and auditorium will be crowded with visiting Alumnae and former students. Those who live near enough, and who can not plan to stay throughout commencement, should spend that whole day with us.

At two o'clock, each local chapter will put on a stunt which we know will be full of life and fun, a fitting close for a happy day.

A SURPRISE SHOWER FOR MISS BODMAN

The faculty of LaGrange college united in giving Miss Margaret Hod- man a most lovely surprise shower on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 23rd, in the college parlors. Many useful gifts were received by the bride-elect, and the affair was a most pleasant one.

Hal Thompson presented the gifts, contained in a large white bcribbon- ed box. The shower consisted of kitchen articles, and the collection was as ample as it was useful.

Miss Pauline Boozer read a short romantic sketch, Miss Berkley play- ing the accompaniment. Later on in the afternoon cs.ke and cream were served.

Miss Bodman is one of the most popular members of the LaGrange College faculty, and the recent an- nouncement of her approaching mar- riage to Mr. George Forrester, of this city, was of great interest to both students and teachers.

MISS COTTON'S ENGAGE- MENT ANNOUNCED

The thought of graduation seemed not to be exciting enough for one of our seniors, so she is to add to her joy by being married only a few weeks after commencement. This senior is Miss Leila Cotton, who is to be married to Rev. Eugene Rut- land on June the twentieth.

ART AND DOMESTIC ART EXHIBITS

Just one peep into the art or do- mestic art rooms—and my, what beauties we behold!

In the domestic art room there is a regular ocean of frills and flounces and dresses that would do for a queen. And to think that all these lovely, dainty frocks were made by the nimble fingers of L. C. lasses. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Bason and her crew of domestic art girls for their beautiful and ef- ficient work.

In the art room one is perfectly astounded by the exquisite beauties which are, there. The walls arc full of the most beautiful paintings im- aginable, and the tables are heavy with gorgeous sets of hand-painted china. The beauty of it all cannot be described. All one can do is. stand and look with her mouth open and send forth exclamations of "alls" and "oh's!"

Miss Black and her pupils have done excellent work. We feel sure that if Rembrandt and Carot were living they would surely find some close rivals.

CLASS ENTERTAINED

Miss Stella Bradfield entertained at a beautiful party on Wednesday after- noon, at her home on Hill street, complimenting the members of the Senior class at LaGrange College.

The rooms v/here the guests wore received were beautifully decorated with sweet peas and Dorothy Per- kins roses.

An interesting contest afforded much enjoyment, after which a most tempting salad course was served.

The young ladies enjoying Miss Bradfield's hospitality were Miss Beva McMillin, Miss Mabel White, Miss Leila Cotton, Miss Mabel CKne, Miss Lura Frances Johnson, Miss Annie Lula Nelson, Miss Mary Leg- gitt, Miss Jerradine Br'nson, Miss Eloise Fullbright, Miss Margaret Mc- Donald, Miss Ethel Pike, Miss Alice Sutton, Miss Mattie McGce and Mrs. J. J. Childs.

NEW ORGANIZATIONS THE HILL

ON ! *********** ***************************************< •••

The hilltop has been the scene of mucn oiganizing during the past month, two new ciubs oeing sprung1

into life practical ly overnight. Thel i orum Club has selected for its mun- uers the best debaters the college af- lords, whiie the star athletes of tne h.ii comprise the ouster Club. '.these new organizations are worthy 01 their arising, and, from present tendancies, seem to be not only aris- ing, but ris.ng.

Belonging to the Forum Club are Misses Elizabeth Clark, Mabel White, Leila Cotton, Emily Park, Lois Brand, Lillian Clark, Annie Dunbar, Margaret Smith, Alice Turner and Annie de Jarnette. 'lhese young la- dies are able debaters, and have al- ready given two most instructive de- lates. The first of these, represent- ing the junior and senior classes, was g.ven the night of May 5. A large Ludience attended, and the speeches on the subject, "Resolved, That the i ailed States Should Cancel Their European War Debt,'' were listened to with great interest.

A delicious four-course dinner was nerved in the dining room immediate- ly piece ding the affair, the Forum Club being the honor guests of the evening. After the awarding of ,he Fuller E. Callaway senior loving cup to the juniors, the audience was in- vited to the college parlors to meet the debaters.

On the night of May 12, the fresh- man class met the sophomore c'ass on the question, "Resolved, That the British Government is More Demo- cratic Than the American Govern- ment."

Again the favors went to the lower- men, the freshmen winning the

h mdsome tin drinking cup, kindly donated by someone for the occasion. Be it as it may, the freshmen have decked their tin cup with the class colors of pink and green, and it now proudly occupies a place of honor be- side the beautiful silver one won by the juniors.

When one comes in contact with a few "Juster Maidens'" musicals, there arouses no doubt of the fact that despite its youth, the Juster Club is the "strongest" organization on the hill. Each member has proven herself a super-athlete, and has won laurels, as well as letters, on the athletic field. The original members of the Juster Club were Misses

Gladys Spruell, Varina Dunbar, Jen- nie Lu Lumpkin, Sara Brown, Lu- eile Dislman, and Mrs. John H. Jones. On the night of Saturday, May 6, Miss Ora Dorminey, who won the highest

er of individual points on Field Day, was publicly initiated into the organization.

A tournament was held in the col- lege gymnasium, and each member, acting as a knight, brought his lady to the Justers' match. The scene was a very pretty one, each of the knights viefng wiffi the other in the contest to crown his lady-fair rairen of the May. "Sir" Dunbar. i' tingu-'sh'ng herself—or rather him- self—by his knightly skill, proudly placed the wreath of daisies upon the head of Miss Mary Moore Johnson, and the two headed the Virginia reel.

The other ladies >vhose knights participated in the contest were Mis- se:; Mary Leggitt, Susie Ogletree, Sara Watkins, Jerradine Brinson, and Mrs. Pyron Connally.

At the conclusion of the tourna- ment, the Justers served the specta- tors with delicious cones of ice cream at which kind act, the guests unani- mously proclaimed the chivalry of their hosts.

When the seeds of organization will again take root is a matter of conjecture, but, at present, all gaps are bring liberally supplied by the new organized Juster and Forum Clubs.

IRENIAN SOCIETY

SENIORS GIVEN PICNIC

On Saturday evening, May the twentieth, the Freshmen, Juniors and Specials gave a picnic at Young"s Mill in honor of the Seniors. The entire party went in trucks in regu- lar picnic fashion, and a jolly good time was enjoyed by all.

The new program committee of the Irenian Literary Society, made up of

i OS B. A. Teasley, Sarah Wat- kins, and Mildred Cobb, have planned for next Saturday evening a most in- teresting program.

This program is to be an interpre- tation of negro life down on the old plantation, giving scenes of the cabin and its household at night. The characters will be: The negro mammy—Aunt Saphronia

— Miss Mary Moore Johnson. Uncle Semensrtn—Miss Alice Sutton.

The Six Little Pickaninnies: Clcarlily Easter—Miss Jerry Brinson. Preserine May—Miss Sarah Brown. Snowball—Miss Mildred Cobb. Idclla—Miss Lois Brand. Noisy Rackett—Miss Geneva Clarke. Josh—Miss Elizabeth Jones.

With the program there will be negro melodies sung by the cast and accompanied by Aunt Sophronia with her guitar, Clearlily Easter with her ukelele, and Preserine May with her mandolin.

Snowball is to be a most entertain- ing negro girl who makes a joke out of every word uttered, thereby keep- ing the student body in an uproar during the entire program.

Here's to the Irenians, The society that always entertains With original and clever programs.

SEVENTY - SEVENTH COM- MENCEMENT

LaGrange College is closing one of the most successful years in the history of the institution, and the coming commencement marks the seventy-seventh milepost in the his- tory of the college, at which an in- teresting program will be rendered.

Alumnae Day will be observed Sat- urday, May 27th, when all former graduates are expected to meet at a grand reunion.

At 8 o'clock the students graduat- ing from the expression, voice and piano classes will give a recital.

Sunday morning at eleven o'clock, Bishop Ainsworth will preach the commencement sermon. At 5:30 p. m., the Y. W. C. A. will hold regular vesper services.

Monday at 11 a. m., class day ex- ercises will take place, at which time a most interesting program will be carried out.

Monday evening at 8 o'clock, grad- uating exercises will be held. Dr. S. R. Belk will deliver the baccalau- reate address, after which diplomas and certificates will be presented to the deserving young women.

VISITORS! VISITORS!

"Who is that girl, pray tell me? What is she doing here ? Is she go- ing to stay? That's great!"

These are some of the numerous questions that the girls, who have been here only one year, ask of the former students who are visiting the college during commencement. One could tell these new-comers were former students when they mounted the front steps, because old friends came bounding down the steps to greet them. It really seems like the opening of school again with old friends greeting old friends and meet- ing new students. Still more friend- ships will be reunited as the com- mencement program comes to a close. We, as present students of the col- lege, are endeavoring to make the alumnae experience again their for- mer school days.
