She put it right in her suit case and ran off to New York with it. Did you ever hear of such a thing? She went up there" to see that her cousin or something graduated all right from West Point, but she's been telling us about seeling all the shows in New York with the good looking "K-dets". Then she had to stop off in Washington, D. C, on her way down to say '"hello" to the President. Now she is at homje again resting up to summer school somewhere in Georgia. I do hope she'll be back to see us all again the first of next year. Nelle Lane has left DeLand now and expects to spend the summer somewhere in the Northern states. She'll be going about so fast that I bet we won't hear from her until Septemfber. Why does Florida have such beautiful moonlight? ? ? It seems a shame. The last I heard of Mud Dykes she was gazing at the big round moon and thinking of Kentucky! Mud and Whit had a wonderful time during his visit to Miami, but those short weeks only made the remainder of the summer harder for them. Kletha went to Miami before returning to her home in then orth. She and Lloyd will be glad when September comes, too. Lillian Trice spent last weekend in Moore Haven with Norma. You should have heard them talk when they got together again. It seemed that they had been separated for ages. Norma hears from Covie quite often. He's wandering about in Pennsylvania somewhere and expects to go to Charleston, S. C.» soon. Of course he remains constant as all Sigma Nu's do. I believe they'll both be glad when they can walk into the old Chaudoin dining hall together again and take their same old place. Our precios Pearl Tatum is staying in DeLand for a while to see that our good old school doesn't run away or something. We couldn't get along without her. I remember that she was one of the ^'rats'" best friends at the house- party. But she does weild a wicked paddle!

Much favorable comment has been received relative to the phenomenal success of the daily Vacation Bible school of DeLand. The school, which has been in session daily except Saturday, for the past two weeks, has been temporarily suspended for the next two weeks while the Florida Baptist Assembly will be in DeLand. It is planned to continue the school following the close of the assembly the latter part of the month. The daily vacation Bible school has proven to be a most popular innovation in the city of DeLand. It has been organized and maintained by the Sunday school of the First Baptist church a means of helping all the school children of DeLand spend their vacation in an enjoyable and profitable" manner. It is an agency which utilizes and properly directs the activities of the children thru the assembly, class room, and laboratory instruction. In view of this fact the curriculum has been made as varied and broad in the scope as possible. The Superintendent, J. Paul Edmunds, has endeavored to provide classes for every phase of instruction. The faculty includes 16 teachers, several of whom have had experience teaching in the public schools of the state. The class of Miss Nellie Stevens in home decoration, has proven to be very popular among the junior girls, as has also the class in furniture designing under the direction of Miss Mary Holmes Thiot. Miss Stevens also assists as pianist in the chorus work under the supervision of Miss Sybil Ley. Mrs. M. L.

"Bill" Collier, special representative of Stetson in the field, and the man who is bringing in the sheaves in increased attendance in the old Alma Mater next semester, made a name for himself and a fine impression upon Delray Baptists, in an address before that church last Sunday. The occasion was Christian Education Day, and the opportunity given by Rev. T. E. Waldrup, who gave his pulpit over to Mr. Collier for an address, on the subject, "Does Christian Education Pay?" For 45 min utes, this Stetson law student held those people interested in a narration of the benefits of the years spent in the halls, so loved by Stetson men and women. He gave to those people a live object lesson in the benefits of that education. Delray is blessed with one of the most beautiful Baptist churches in the state, the Gibson Memorial Baptist church. It was in this building that Collier made his speech. The church was crowdwed to capacity. His talk and the fact that he was sent from Stetson for the purpose of giving direct informration about the livest school in the South, brought out his large audience. The program which the proper loyalty that Baptists of the State should shower upon their college, was ma lie the keynote, follows: r i^. — Ojbso- Memorial Church, ■^r^ficatioi. "-»^iy, Sunday Morning; June 29, Pastor in Charge. ' |iong: The Green and White Stet- soif—Decorated with Stetson colors- Prayer : For the young Christians at school.

Willian, director in chief of the assembly has been on the grounds for nearly a week making the final necessary arrangements for the comfort of visitors. Since over six hundred Baptists are in attendance today, this has been no small job. Scores of men have been at work for several days opening Stetson to the Baptists. Special classes in music led by "Sunshine" known over the South as one of the foremost song leaders, and a class for pastors taught by Len G.

Then Meets the State Assemblies of Virginia and Maryland. Dr. Lincoln Hulley writes from Knoxville, where he is spending part of his summer, in lecturing before the University of Tennessee, Summer school. He finds wonderful cooperation among the audiences he appears before, "success and favor" he says, attending his work. From Knoxville, Dr. Hulley goes to the Baptist Assembly of the State of Maryland, at Braddock Henghts. Then to Virginia Beach to meet with the Virginia State Baptist Assembly. From these Assemblies and the work of Dr. Hulley in their deliberations, several students have come each year year in the past. The Doctor believes in spending his vacation in building Stetson. Adding to the contention of those behind the Bigger and Better Stetson movement that the summer is the proper time to enlarge our school. The Knoxville Journal and Tribune of Monday, June 30, gives Dr. Hulley a hearty commendation as to his past work there and the interest in his present series of lectures. We quote for the benefit of President Hulley's host of friends: "An old favorite joins the ranks of the lecturers at the summer school of the University of Tennessee this morning. He is Dr. Lincoln Hulley, president of the John B. Stetson university at DeLand, Fla., who has been one of the attractions of the local summer school for several years, always growing in popularity with the summer school students and with the townspeople who attend his lectures. Dr. Hulley is a genial, merry, thoroughly human and sincere sort of speaker. He is vitally interested in the subject upon which he is lectur- The Stetson Grad who goes with the opening of the new college year to instruct in the finest Technical school of the South—Georgia Tech. He will be placed in the Mathematics department. ing and his interest and love for his work is contagious. He is a lecturer who knows psychology, nicely gauging his remarks to suit the mood of his listeners. He is a man of deep culture, wide reading, keen insight, excellent delivery and magnetic personality. At today's open hour from 11 to 12 o'clock in Jefferson hall he will speak on "Eugene Field and the Children," and members of previous summer school audiences who have heard him recite Field's "Little Boy Blue" know something of the treat that is in store for them. This is the only morning lecture he will deliver, his other lectures being given at 8 o'clock in Jefferson hall. On Tuesday evening he will speak on "Robert Burns and His Humanity;" (Continued on page 2) Isabel Tate, Hazel Overstreet, Martha Marvin, and Eleanor Forbes are leaving this week for Chicago to attend the Alhi Xi convention. a good "counselor". She is showing her ability in this capacity at a girls' camp in North Carolina this summer. Margaret Quigley is spending the week-end at Daytona Beach. Gladys Stevens is having a delightful vacation at Coronado Beach. Jewell Edmunds has recently de cided to be an "old maid" (?)^and has taken her first step toward that end by accepting a position as stenographer for the summer. Libby Overstreet has torn herself away from Ben and is spending the summer in Norfolk, Va. Hillis Carmen and Rosa Smith were among the Stetson delegates to the Y. W. C. A. convention at Blue Ridge, N. C. Leola King of Sanford, spent last week in DeLand with friends and "relatives" (1) We are glad to say that Marie Courson is rapidly improving and reports that she is becoming her old self again. We wonder what "Ree" thinks of the little town of Jupiter since her visit there? She seems to be favorably impressed with "certain" of its inhabitants. Helen says Ray got terribly seasick going to New York. We wonder if it was all "sea" sickness. Thelma Brown is not content with being a "school marm" during the winter; she is tutoring this summer in Jacksonville. We wonder if Persis will visit "Pittsburg" this summer? ( We hope Ruby Dyal will completely recover this summer so that she can be with us in the fall. News from the Alumnae Nellie Stevens leaves the first port of this month for a toour of California and the west. A farewell party was recently given Muriel Stevens by the Fidelis class of the First Baptist church, at which time she was showered with many beautiful and useful gifts. Muriel is going to Philadelphia, Pa., for a short visit after which she will enter training at Louisville, for the mission field. We are so glad to have Lillian Wells back with us after a winter's study in New York. She has a voice class in DeLand and will be with us until October.
