Baptist Union
Meets at Church

The W. M. U. of the Slater
Baptist Church met Tuesday
night, November 4, at the
church, with nine members
present for the meeting.

Mrs. Paul Foster, the newly
elected president, called the
meeting to order after which
prayer was offered.

Following the business ses-
sion, the program was turned
over to Mrs. Dever Rabb. A
very interesting program
centered around Africa was
presented by Mrs. J. G. Vickers,
Mrs. Delia Miller, Mrs. Paul
Foster, Mrs. Charles Thompson,
and Mrs. Hill.

Mrs. H. S. Richardson led the
group in prayer after which
the members went to the
auditorium to hear the Rev.
Pinson bring the sermon.

The December meeting will
be held at the home of Mrs. H.
S. Richardson.

learned.

"Among the many courses
Winthrop offers are the follow-
ing: Physical Education, Home
Economics, Music, Commercial
Science, and many others. In
all these courses girls get
thorough and efficient training.

"In addition to acadmic
courses, there are cultural
courses. Included in these are
lectures by great and oustand-
ing people, operas, and con-
certs. Many helpful things can
be learned from these courses,
and the girls are urged to
attend. On these special occa-
sions, we must dress and be at
"our bes" for supper. This is
a good practice in that it helps
to develop self-confidence.

"Religious activities are not
slighted at Winthrop. Each
Sunday morning, busses come
to the college to take us to the
churches in town. Vespers are
held on the campus every Sun-
day and Wednesday night.
Noon devotions are held daily
at the Student Center. Re-
cently, at the Student Center
we observed Christmas Day for
the children of Europe. Girls
were asked to bring small gifts
such as soap, pencils, etc. The
program consisted of Christmas
songs, poems, and stories. Then,
too, a Taps Program, which is
a night devotion, is held once
a week.

"For recreation, the girls
swim, play tennis, hike, skate,
dance, and participate in many
other sports. Movies are shown
on the campus each Saturday
night, and recreation in John-
son Hall afterwards consists of
table tennis, checkers, bingo,
and dancing. There are many
sports clubs that provide
recreation also.

"Believing that the self-
governed is the best governed,
Winthrop is self-governed.
Government is conceived and
executed with a view of making
the college a pleasant, busy,
and happy place in which to
live. It's object is to develop
self-control, higher character,
and a desire to do right because
it is right. Courtesy and kind-
ness are uniform rules of the
institution."

PINS GO TO TWO
FOR GOOD RECORD

The Sunday School of the
Slater Baptist Church last Sun-
day recognized the perfect
attendance records of two of
its members by presenting them
with gold pins at the regular
morning worship service.

Those receiving the pins
were Ann Thompson, daughter
of the Rev. and Mrs. Charles T.
Thompson, and Betty Scarce, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. T.
Scarce. The pins were pre-
sented by the Rev. Charles T.
Thompson, pastor of the
church.

Ann and Betty were present
at Sunday School every Sun-
day from October 1, 1946 to
October 1, 1947.

The friends of these girls are
happy that they were able to
attend Sunday School each
Sunday for an entire year, and
wish them many more years
of perfect attendance.

Influenza Shots

(Con't. from page 1, col. 3)

at 12:00 midnight, the doctor
and nurse were present, and in
both instances the work was
finished in about an hour and a
half.

They type of vaccine used is
for the prevention of both A
and B influenza, and is the type
which causes little or no re-
action in the majority of cases.
Everyone seemed pleased to
have a chance to take these
preventative measures, and
especially this was true of the
former service men now em-
ployed here.

Medical authorities report
this is the year for the dreaded
type of influenza which swept
this country ni 1918 and 1919,
and the Slater Manufacturing
Co., Inc. felt that it was wise
to offer the employees this
service in the hopes of com-
batting any possible epidemic
during the flu season.

SCHOOL COMMENDS
RECENT VISITORS

The faculty of the Slater-
Marietta Schools wish to take
this opportunity to express
their appreciation to the pa-
rents and friends in this com-
munity for their interest in
visiting the different class-
rooms during National Educa-
tion Week. They regret that
everyone did not find it con-
venient to visit.

It is always an inspiration to
pupils and teachers to have
patrons visit the school from
time to time. Let's remember
that the school exists for the
child. Teachers can do a better
job of teaching if they know
the parents of the children that
they teach. So don't wait until
next National Education Week
to visit — Come Now ! You're
always welcome.
