D.F BLUE R1 IEW OF BLUE RIDGE FROM THE Y.M.C.A. Delegates Sing at Meal Time Canteen Waitresses Attract Big Crowds at Blue Ridge Sum mer Camp Sixteen football games. a boiler factory and a steam locomotive in one would be somewhat a description of the dining room at Blue Ridge at dinner time when the student conference is in session. At the beginning of the meals and throughout them, each college takes great delight in yelling and sing n ing its Alnia Mater. Sometimes every one turns in on some familiar tune and sings until hunger becomes more per sistent. It is useless to say that the most ap petizing thing at Blue R'dge is the ness hall. For the first few (lays of a fel low's stay at Blue Ridge he observes that the Canteen is crowde(d between the time of the Mess hall meal hours, not because of shortage of food as is so often the case in college tea rooms, but because the boys can't keep them t selves from gazing at the waitresses. Nevertheless, most of the fellows find that it will not do to neglect their stomachs. so they begin to utilize all s food available, and nobody can say that i meals are scanty at Blue Ridge. All important announcements are inade at meal times because it is a well known fact that everybody can be reached at s that tine. Many students never hear these announcements, of course, be it cause they are too busily engaged in the hand to mouth process to know what it is all about. a All the tables are numbered and somiet imes on entering, each person dIraws a card whui (designates at which table. he is to eat that particular meal. TI'his is done to make the students from he various colleges become better ac quIlainted. Sunday School Men to Go to Blue Ridge Leslie Edwards, L. G.
