Thanksgiving
——-SfBtee hundred and twelve years ago the first Thanksgiving Day was
"founded by the Pilgrim Fathers, i,n America. Today Thanksgiving Day is
a national holiday, a day set apart annually by the President of the United
States and by the Governors of the States.
After a winter of hardships, sickness and distress, the life of the colony
of Pilgrim Fathers depended on the results of the spring planting. When
<>„ the harvest proved bountiful, the Pilgrims rejoiced and they celebrated.
This custom spread, the influence deepened, and "today Thanksgiving is a
national event.
The holiday which marks Thanksggiving is a little different from any
other holiday. It celebrates no battle, no.hank or business holiday, no
birthday of a great man, no church holiday. Thanksgiving is the holiday
of the people who have worked through the year, and vvho thank God
humbly for the good haryest.
In the hurry and the celebration that inevitably centers . ar.ound^lic
Thanksgiving of today, it would be well to pause and think of those Pilgrim
Fathers who originated the first Thanksgiving. It would be well if, amid
our jjoy, we would think of Thanksgiving—not as a day for turkey, foot-
ball games, reunions of friends we haven't seen since school began, of good
times—but as a holiday of peace, a celebration of work..
Are You Worthy?

In any college, the organization of cltjbst, classes and societies are a
vital part of the college life which a* (Student participates in. Can you
imagine a college without student organizations? Can you imagine the
strife and bickering that would result from a college without classes?
College life would be rather b^ren if each girl in T. W. C. attended
classes and studied, but had nothing in common with her classmates. It
would be a dull life without the fun of the classes and organizations.
Yet, despite the fact that organizations and classes are such a vitai
part of college life, many student*-belong—and that is all. There is no
effort put forth to make the organization or class better by attendance and
interest in its affairs. There is no enthusiasm shown when the girls are
called upon to take some j*art in the organization of which the girl is a
member.
In an organization or class, one of the fundamental ideals of life can be
developed—that of loyalty. Loyalty to the things that your class or organ-
ization believes, loyalty to the members of that organization, loyalty to
yourselves. Loyalty, and many other characteristics, can be developed in
an ^ganization or class "that will better fit any college girl for future life.
Are you one of the "doers" or the "belongers" in your class and organi-
zation? Are you worthy of being a member?

Love, or night,- I know not which,
Has learned the secret of enchant-
ment.
Making by some strange miracle.
This place a lovely thing;
The moon, in its pale glimmering
Has sprayed the grass with lace,
"VHK ISLE OK LOST SHIPS" I
Ravaged and tossed by winds of
Fate,
IJpon that desolate, watery Isle:
more to cross the Golden Gate,
Or drift unerringly down the Nile;
neia apiojcu 6luo°
And touched the ragged shrubs along; rhe once great ships have met the

As my young love and I move in thHi
place, . „
Light-footed, swaying, gay,
Night, or love,—I know not which—
Has taken all the drabness,
And burned it with a little spark,
Our love kindled jndthe dark.

And it seems a dream that I part
My red lips for my lover's kiss!
My heart is so exultant that I know
There will always be flame %
And silver in my soul, and a memory
Too sweet for any* heart to bear....
Unless, the enchantment ends,.
And Night or Love,—I know not
which—
Leaves me reality.

Prayer
God, if you choose
Blow out life's candle,
^ny time—now—^
I do not care.
: Of that forsaken wooden knoll,
I Whose purpose, only to beguile
| A vessel of its distant goal;
How re.idful, that reproachful shoal'
The souls that wander there at night
With faces taut, and filled with pain.
Each weary of his hopeless plight,
Yet waiting- still to ascertain
That every hope must be in vain,
Before he ventures to subdue
A half-crazed mind, that must re-
main
Upon that wreckage, and renew
Its course of living, with that crew!
But this I ask:
(Is it too much?)
Let life be flame
Till the last.
I could never bear
The sight of embers....
Princess Martin.
At last each weary .soul is calm,
And sparks of weary soul is calm,
And sparks of love have turned to
flame
Within each breast,, for that balm
Known only to th,at gruesome name;
' Where rrten and ships must play the
"game *
Of making new a woflclto bloom;
With hopes of treasures to acclaim
From othe/ ships that meet their
doom,
On that Lost Isle, where settles
gloom.
—Hal Langs ton.
Poet's Privilege
I can write away the grief ^ •* ,->•"
That other hearts would curse;
When moonlight brings her memories,
I'll write them in a verse.

Play
Some say that "Play is the aimless expenditure of superfluous enetgy".
©thers that "Play is the natural exercise and recreation of body and mind
or exertion of body or mind, made to please ourselves, without determined
end." But regardless of what the definition is, play is essential to any
life. Play is the serious business of childhood. It is the safety valve of
youth. It is the rejuvenation of older years. Play develops*-the body to its
highest point in co-ordination and muscular control. Play develops co-
operation, leadership, and good sportsmanship.
Dr. Richard C. Cabot says, "Play is one-fourth of life". The hours be-
tween our regular work cali us for relaxation, fun, rest, and recreating our-
selves. It is better than medicine. It pays a greater interest than any
other investment. It is the w,ay to keep our vigon for our work and our joy
in life.
Realizing these needs in the development of a normal person, many
opportunities are offered to our students for their use and. advantage. Our
athletics, societies, clubs, classes, and chapels are all factors for this pur-
pose. Do not feel that they are an obligation, but something created for
your enjoyment and use. Just remember that, "People do not stop playing
because they grow old; they grow old because they stop playing".-
Dear Readers:
Just in case anyone has anything
to say about anything that has been
said in the Handout or that you have
heard someone else say, or what you
may think yourself about th«T"D. S.
S., all you hive to do is to write us
all about it and leave it in the Jour-
nalism Office and it will get to th-3
hands rightfully due to\have it^ Just
because you are not a member, and
do not know of anyone who is, don't
go around saying that it's a fake.
After all, it is a secret society, you
know.
| Do not cut chapel. If you do you
may miss that program the D. S. S.
has promised us. It wasn't told to
us, we only heard that it was going
to be a mighty good program, too.
Well, what do you know about
that? We Just heard that this so-
ciety has a very clever motto and a
song that is more than clever. Those
six members had a meeting some-
where, sometime and wrote t ie
-,.A (>^ to the song and malle up thJ
motto. ^
Here's to the members of the soci-
ety! We sincerely hope you won't
be peeved at us for publishing al)
this about your Society. We just
heard! The entire student body is
interested in you.
Some One Who Knows.
Programs that will center around
the interest of the girls of T. W. C.
are being planned by the Y. W. C.
A., according to Miss Erna Karbach,
president.
Interest slips have been given to
the members of the Y. W. C. A. Each
girl checks the subjects which she
would like to have discussions on,
and from these interests, the pro-
grams will be built up. The inter
ests are being taken care of either
through the regular Y. W. C. A.
meetings. or through special dis-
cussion groups.
A special discussion group has
been organized in literautre, with
Mrs. Rose L. Lisenby in charge of
the discussion. The subject of this
group is "Current Poetry".
"Why Religion, and a College
Girl's Philosophy," is another dis-
cussion group that has been organ-
ized. Rev. Cauthen of the Polytech-
nic Baptist Church is in ^hargrffof
this group.
Dr. J. W. Simmons will be in
charge of the discussion group on
"The Art of Worship". From this
discussion group, the devotional ser-
vices of the Y. W. C. A. will be
worked out.
Plans are under way for discussion
groups in music and friendship, al-
though no definite arrangements have
been made for these subjects.
All discussion groups meet once a
month. «.«
