Dr. Dawson had charge of the devo¬

Time," and the text for the talk was
taken from Genesis, first chapter. Dr.
Dawson stated that If we wanted to be
satisfied with our college education
we must not waste any time. On the

earnest at the very first of our course
and work diligently until it was fin¬

Perhaps, In reading hastily through the 1926 catalog, some of t
have missed a very Important Item, "Degrees With Honors," ^
encourage a spirit of independent reading and research.
According to the catalog, the faculty will admit on written
application
from the sophomore and junior classes a limited number of candidates for
the degree with honors in the major field. Properly to safeguard the privi¬
leges incidental to the candidacy for the degree with honors, the application
must be in writing, and must be passed on in full faculty session. The candi¬
date's work must bo consecutive and systematic in all required courses and
must cover a period of four full sessions. It is believed that an effort on the
part of any student to shorten the time for graduation by taking courses In
the summer school will result in a sort of haste and confusion hardly com¬
patible with the leisure and free choice contemplated in the honors system.
At the discretion of the faculty committee charged with the administration-
of the honors system and the head of the major department, and the cand{;
date for honors may be allowed certain liberty In the matter of class attend-

year may be waived with the approval of the instructors concerned. The
thesis required of honors candidates is expected to be an even more thorough
study than that of other seniors, and at the discretion of the honors com¬
mittee and the head of the department involved, the honors candidate may
be allowed to count his thesis for three semester credits in the second half
of the senior year.
This plan has just been started, and according to a statement by Dean
P. P. Burns. Clyde Warren, president of the student body, applied for admis¬
sion and was admitted. Mr. Warren Is writing his thesis In the Department
of Economics, and according to Dean Burns, his thesis, which is well under
way, promises to be one of the widest and most thorough studies ever made
by any undergraduate in the college.

Now for the team that Is to face
those renovated hopes of Coach Bur¬
bage. They say in South Alabama that
Marlon is starting the season with the
best organisation he has ever had. If
that Is the case, all Is well and good,
for Coach Gillem has prepared for Just
that thing, and has gone the limit In
whipping the Bulldogs Into shape for
the game by driving them every min¬
ute of practice since their return from
Camp Coshy, where the candidates
went through a week of intensive pre-
season training which Included long
hikes, swimming, signal practice and
plenty of good eatr.
The starting line-np is practically
impossible to determine at this time,
and it is certain thsft with the addi¬
tion of the new men to the squad, the
starting eleven will not be the finish¬
ing eleven as the crimson mentors will
want to get a line on some of the new
men who are coming out and have as
yet failed to grace the Bulldog varsity
playing squad.
However, one or two men and pos¬
sibly the entire starting line may be j
set down in black and white without
desecreating the aotnal feet* of the
case. Capt. "Bull' Spicer Is sure to
start one guard, with Smith or Rhudy
at the other. Kelly and Brown take
first place when tackles are mentioned
and Gibson and Wllklng will be per¬

One of “Dear Old England's” institutions that completely escapes the
insatiable tourists' researches Is the English "Pension” or seaside boarding
touse. It is Indeed, as I heard one party put it, a “Jolly 'ome from ’ome" In
that the boarders make up a more or less happy family and enjoy themselves
as such during the two weeks or a month that they spend there.
It Is the purpose of these essays to recount a few of my experiences while
•‘pensioning. ’’
I was sojourning in the West Cliff Hotel, situated high on the west cliff
of Bourne-Mouth, among the age-old firs and pines that cover the white-faced
chalk hills of the south of England. >
The cliffs at this point dropped sharply away for two hundred feet to
the grey waters of the English Channel lapping its base. As is usual in such
places the world over. It was nicknamed “Lovers' Trap” and according to the
local yokels the mortality of lovers was something calculated to decimate the
country in no time. Really something ought to be done to enrb these leaping
lovers, think I,
The '•'inmates" were quite the orthodox thing for pensions. Several dear
old ladles, a tall, pale young thing given to reciting her own "verse” to any
poor Idiot who would be incautious enough to be caught alone In some austere
corner, a retired major of the British army In India, red of face, loud of voice
and gouty of foot; two maiden sisters of whom it was rumored that they “took
a little drop in private;” then, of course, there was the Mystorlous Man, the
Insipid Sap, the Widow, the Vamp, the Lovers and the laet, but far, oh, very
far, from belnp the least, we have the "Boys.”
The Boys!’ Those dear young-old men whose elogan is “you're as young
as you feel.” The dear boys, who always keep things lively, whose sole aim
In life is to keep you laughing — at someone else!
After having been introduced to the menagerie — er — I mean the “family,”
I, of course, became one of them—

I thought, trusting and Innocent as I
was. But alas, as in all cases, innocence and beauty were betrayed. After
a theater party that night which we attended en masse, going and returning
in large motor charabances, or carryalls, 1 retired — that is to say. I got into
bed, my travel-weary bones fairly shrieking for repose. Repose? Ha, ha,
(Ironically), repose was not to be mine yet, for scarcely had I settled in my
bed than a tiger, a shark or a species of man-eating carnivora, fastened Its
fangs into me somewhere in the region of my largest toe.
With a shriek, I leaped from my bed— and into a pan of water set there
expressly for that purpose. My carcas was twisted into every conceivable
angle and ae I realized as I sat there, that during the process of assuming
those antics I had freed myself of the deadly grasp of the monster.
Swearing softly, but withal, softly to myself, I straightened out, managed
to get to my feet and groped for the light. The light! Where the devil was
the light? After barking my shins on a multitude of sharp corners I gave
. p the bunt and proceeded to extract a dry pair of pajamas from my suit case,
n the pitchy dark I nearly strangled myself donning these. The coat gave
тэ
’ess trouble than the trousers, the legs of which seemed to have shrunk in
a peculiar manner.
Not trusting my mistreated person to the uncertainty of that thrlce-
damntd bed, I retired to the couch, using for a blanket a portlerre I had dis¬
lodged during my perlgrinatlons — end so to sleep.
The next morning I awoke, after passing a terrible night amidst a forest
full of hideous creatures, all of which walked off with divers parts of n^
anatomy clenched between their teeth. My neck was stiff and every bone in
my body dislocated so it seemed, but wbat was more «making, J found my
legs thrust through the arms of a jersey and my shoulder enveloped in my

“Hello, Howard College.”
“No, Dr. Dawson isn't in right now.
This is Miss Breedlove, Dr. Dawson’s
secretary. Is there anything that I
can do for you," said a voice on the
other end of the line and it was thus
that I met Dr. Dawson's new secre¬
tary in an informal way.
When It was rumored around last
year that Mrs. Walker would not be
here this year as secretary to the
president it was only natural that
the question would go the rounds as
to who would succeed her. The first
of June this question was definitely
settled when Miss Ola Mae Breedlove
of Gantt's Quarry arrived to take over
Mrs. Walker's duties.
For anyone to see Dr. Dawson it is
first necessary for them U> see Miss
Breedlove and it is the pnrpoee of
this brief article to better acquaint
the students with her. In the Spring
of 1922 she graduated from the Syla-
cauga High School as valedictorian of
her class which was an honor worthily
bestowed. From there she went to
Montevallo and entered Alabama Col-

and graduated in the spring of 1924.

After finishing at Montevallo Miss
