■STUDENTS EW DORSE- NOVEL SUMMER FEATURES It is fitting that wo at this timo consider the effect the summer session has load upon students and the college, and what features arc worthy of being carried over into the regular session. For example, the Dormitory Director retired ana it was necessary to organize the Dorm girls into companies undor student captains to' plan and execute the work formerly dono by Hiss Greer. By tho company system the girls have been put on their honor, and tho consensus of opinion is all for it. The inter-company challenges , and games on tho athlotic field have done muoh to bolster our long-sought school spitit. Tith summer heat haunt¬ ing us, the Glen came into its own. The Glen Commit¬ tee, studont-instigatod and executed, ®a formed to preserve tho beauty of the campus. Certainly more student activities in the' realms cf maintenance and construction arc in ordor. The trend is a good one. A "т of hidden talent" was revealed in Tues¬ day's assembly. Tith loss money to spend for assembli next year it is imperative we develop and cncoura.gc our local talent— the students liked it better anyway. By tho way, have you noticed the spirit in the S.G.A. as¬ semblies la.toly? Recreation being essential, many activities have been provided which might have been deemed revolution¬ ary, or inadvisable during the regular session— oppor¬ tunities for swimming parti os, for rifle practice, otc. The professional demonstration of the various skills fnd the instruction of beginners at the sports certainly should be continued. Tho student-faculty tournaments in tennis and badminton, tho baseball and archery battles between the men and girl students and the intcr-company gamos havo suocccdcd in drawing a good turnout and in building school spirit. The TL staff has maao its paper conform to the lower activitios foe and it is the gcnoral opinion that they have given us a more informal, sna.ppy publication them we've had for quite a time.

These changes in schedule setup seem to be popular with 'the general student body. One mere interesting in- ovation is early classes— leaving PH's froc for stu¬ dies or sports. -J.MeC.
