A LITERARY SOCIETY FOR THE
SUB-COLLEGE
Sub-College students, we need a Lit-
erary society. In every particular we
have a first class college, but the sub-
college department lags behind in this
one thing. We have an efficient facul-
ty, convenient buildings, well ordered
■and well kept grounds, a high ranking
in all athletics, a large student body,
but nothing to hold these students to-
gether. One large Literary Society or
more if needed, would make at least
part of us stay together instead of be-
.ing about 225 separate students.
For several reasons we need a good
literary society in the sub-college. First,
it would be educational. No one can
form a correct opinion until he has
heard both sides of a question. The
preparation of a debate calls for a
great deal of out-side reading and
study. By using current events for de-
bates or talks we would hear of much
that we now miss from lack of atten-
tion and observation. For this reason
alone the literary society ought to be
a good thing.
Second, it provides one of the best
ways to learn public speaking. It tea-
ches the student to systematize his
thoughts and ideas so that he may

YOUR COLLEGE SONG
Were you at Chapel last Friday
morning ?" The attempt toward singing
■our Alma Mater was simply apaliing.
The fact of the matter is that only about
a tenth of the students know the words
■or sang the song. Which of the two
it is we don’t know; both are- bad.
There may be an excuse for not sing-

element that must not be lacking in
any good school—PEP. To have pep
the students must know each other.
They must sympathize with one ano-
ther, learn to feel the other’s joys .and
sorrows. They must be one whole.
Sub-College students, we can do all
of this. We can build a literary so-
ciety that will have no rival. Let us
not follow in the ruts of our predeces-
sors. Wake up! Let’s put this big
Idea across.

Success.
It isn’t the cut of the clothes that you
wear,
Nor the stuff out of which they are
made,
Though chosen with taste and fastid-
ious care,
And it isn’t the price that you paid; ^
It isn’t the size of your pile'in the bank
Nor the number of acres you own,
It isn’t a question of prestige or rank,
Nor of sinew or muscle and bone;
It isn’t the servants that come at
your call,
It isn’t the things you possess,
Whether many or little—or nothing at
all—
It’s service that measures success.
It isn’t a question of name, or of length
Of an ancestral pedigree, ^
Nor a question of mental vigor and
strength,
Nor a question* of social degree;
It isn’t a question of city or town,
Nor a question of doctrine or creed,
I: isn’t a question of fame or renown,
Nor a question of valorous deed;
But he who makes somebody happy
each day, ’
And he who gives heed to distress,
Will find satisfaction the richest of pay
For it’s service that measures success.

TOO MANY “DUCKS”
A new story is going around the
financial district about an old South-
ern darkey who was asked -by the pro-
prietor of a store how ne happened to
need credit when lie had such a good
cotton crop.
“De ducks got ’bout all dat cotton
sah”, was the mournful reply.
“What do you mean, the ducks got
it?”
“Well, you see”, expamed the old
man, “I sent dat cotton up to Mem-
phis an’ dey deducts the freight, an’
dev deducts the storage charges, an'
dey deducts -the commission, dey de -
ducts the taxes—yes, sah de ducks got
’bout all dat cotton, an’' dats why
I’m. here.”

The Idyllics held a meeting Monday
afternoon for the purpose of electing
officers. The office of president was
not filled as Martha Woodson and Sal-
he Ross Jones tied for the place a num-
ber of times and it was decided to take
a vote at a time when the number of
members present was uneven.. The
other officers elected are as follows:
Mi’ble Bates, vice-president; Nell Wal-
ton, secretary; Mildred Summers, treas-
urer; Fannie Woodson, Star reporter.
Besides the election of officers, four
new members were voted into the so-
ciety. The girls selected were Misses
Eona Waters, Marietta Collier, Twila
Crump, and Florence Thomas.
