COMMENCEMENT
Senior Farewell Banquet
At 8:30 on Friday night girls, in
charming evening gowns and with
all the dignity of Seniors, met their
gentlemen friends at the Students'
Building. From here they conduct-ed
their guests to the Y? W. C. A.
hut, 'where the banquet was held.
Miss Annie Lee Stafford, the class
president, presided as toastmistress.
The first toast was given "To our
guests,'' by Miss Edith Russel. Rev.
R. L. Brown, of Philadelphia, re-sponded.
The spirit of Red and
White was then toasted by Miss
Marjorie Craig, and to this, two
graces, beautifully attired, respond-ed
with an aesthetic dance. The
toast to' the little mascot was given
next, to which the attractive little
daughter of Dr. Lipscomb respond-ed.
Several other toasts were gives,
—the one by Miss Virginia Walsh
to Alma Mater deserves special at*
tention. Dr. Foust, our beloved
president, responded.
The hut was artistically decorated
with brown eyed daisies, and banks
of palms furnished a background
for the town orchestra. The hours
of music and merriment stole by
entirely too rapidly for all.
Saturday morning while the NSO-niors
were resting from the revel of
the previous night, the Sophomores,
their adopted sisters, were diligently
pressing the creases out of the gowns
which their big sisters were to
don for the dignity of their grad-uation.
To be sure the Sophomores
were very glad to press the first
gowns to be worn here at commence-ment.
, From five to six on Saturday after-noon
the class of 1919 gave an in-formal
reception to the odd classes
of the college. The classes repre-sented
were those of '15, '17 and '21.
Childish Sports Enjoyed ,
At 7:30 promptly the Seniors ap-peared
on the front campus to bid
farewell to their youthful days.
With their curly locks and red and
white ribbons streaming in the
winds, they appeared to be youth
and nothing more, as they danced
and ran.
At 8:30 the childish band was
transformed into dignified Seniors
who appeared in Students' Building
for the oratorical contest between
the three societies.
Baccalaureate Sermon and Vesper
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in
the chapel of Students' Building
Rev. Chandle, of Atlanta, delivered
the baccalaureate sermon. The ser-mon
was an inspiration to the audi-ence
and especially to the Seniors.
That evening yesper service, which
MANY NEW THINGS
GREET ALUMNAE
EVEN A NEW NAME
Many new things greet the alum-nae
as they return to their Alma
Mater this year. Even a new name
awaits them. Instead of returning
to the State Normal and Industrial
College, Where they spent many
happy days, they are welcomed to
the North Carolina College for
Women. . :
Here they are hardly able to rec-ognize
the place of their school
days, so different are both the at-mosphere
and the surroundings.
Even before they reach the college,
their observant eyes see a new
building among the familiar ones
of the past. Upon a closer examina-tion,
it is discovered to be an addi-tion
to Mclver Building. Almost
immediately they think of the many
more students who will pass a great
number of weary, yet pleasant hours
there in the laboratories and class
rooms.
As they turn into College avenue
the flag of their country greets them
in the distance, as it waves from its
lofty height, and they feel that the
same spirit which this flag signifies
is reflected in the faces of the col-lege
women who welcome them back
to their girlhood home.

OUR STUDENTS IN
RECONSTRUCTION WORK
Our college will be well repre-sented
in social welfare and recon-struction
work during the summer.
Our students will be found working
in science laboratories, eight-weeks
clubs, on various farms, in hotels,
in their homes, and conducting do-mestic
science classes. Most of the
girls realize the advantages they
are having and in their short vaca-tions
will endeavor to carry out our
motto of service.
Our Bacteriologists
Two of our students, Miss Isabel
Ardrey and Miss Nancy Yarborough,
will be assistant city bacteriologists
in Charlotte during the summer.
Their work will be in the labora-tory
of the Charlotte Sanatorium.
Eight Weeks Clubs
Many of our girls, especially those
going to the Blue Ridge conference,
will conduct Bight Weeks Clubs dur-ing
the summer. The general plans
for their direction have been
changed, but Miss Giffin, one of the
Y. W. C. A. secretaries, told us the
•new plans would be .given the girls
PROBLEMS OF THE
MAY MASS MEETING
The outstanding feature of the
May mass meeting was the number
of interesting and original sugges-tions
from the committees working
on college social problems. Of these
problems none is more vital than
that of arousing and sustaining a
real college spirit. The report from
this committee included suggestions
that we take a greater pride in what
our college is doing, by acquainting
ourselves with the achievements of
our faculty, our alumnae, and by
comparing our own achievements as
students with those of other colleges.
Perhaps their most interesting
suggestion was that we have a "Col-lege
Night," distinctive of this col-lege
and becoming traditional with
us—something that alumnae can
come back to and new students ex-pect.
A name such as "Park Night,"
or "Night in the Pines" was recom-mended.
We are already carrying
out their idea of making the office
of cheer leader one of the most
important in college, in that its spe-cial
duty shall be to strengthen col-lege
spirit.
Another idea of this committee is
to be used next year. The Fresh-men
are to be "naturalized." There
will be special qualifications for cit-izenship
in the N. C. C. W. Before
these qualifications are attained, the
candidate shall wear a green but-ton,
to be exchanged for a yellow
CLASS RECORDS
FOR THE YEAR
Splendid Record of Senior , Class;,
Great Future Predicted For
Its Members
Commencement time is always
greeted with hurrahs of joy and de-light;
yet underneath all the glamor
and brilliancy of the occasion there
is an atmosphere of sadness and re-gret.
This particular atmosphere
surrounds us because we realize that
another splendid class*of our young
women are leaving us forever. In
spite of this fact, however, we can
rejoice in the spirit the class has
shown during its college career, the
activities it has joined in, and the
achievements it has made; but we
feel a greater thrill when we con-sider
the brilliant future laid open
to each of its members.
The college and class spirit which
has existed in the class of 1919 has
been a source of praise 'from, the be-ginning.
The members have been
heartily in sympathy with each
other, and have shown an anxious
spirit to make every 1919 girl an
ideal specimen of American woman-hood.
The class of 1919, too, has
ever remained united; each member
has had her own individuality, but
the class has stood together whe
ever Red and White was concerne
This unusual class of unusual girls
has also given us some of tl*e finest
examples of college spirit. Its mem-bers
have eagerly co-operated with

THE BLUE BIDE COB$g$ERENCE
The Southern Student Conference
of the Y. W. C. A. at Blue Ridge,
N. C, is one of the channels through
which our college association re-ceives
its greatest aid and inspira-tion.
This year there are twenty-five
girls, chaperoned by Miss Bar-row,
who are going from the North
Carolina College for Women to at-tend
the conference. These girls
represent almost every organization
in the college, and will bring back
the big ideas and enthusiastic en-ergy
which such a conference in-fallibly
gives.
The conference will last from June
the 3rd to the 13th, and the pro-gram
will be a happy combination Of
work and play. There will be daily
classes in Bible and World Fellow-ship
Study, Discussion Groups, A«V
dresses,-, and plans for recreation.
The Bible and World Fellowship
Classes will study present day fcroo-lems
in relation to the program of
Jesus, for upbuilding the world. T&e
Discussion Groups will consider
underlying principles of living
serving. Four morning add
