The Reverend Oscar deWolf Ran- dolph delivered a very appropriate Mother's Day sermon on Sunday, May 10, in Langhorne Memorial Chapel. The subject of his talk was based on the fifth commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother
that thy days may be long in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee." The sermon, though concise, was forceful and to the point, which along with its all-conclusiveness made it one of the most interesting talks given to the student body this year.
He spoke of the respect that every boy should have for his mother, which would make him more worthy of her love. Dr. Randolph's touching r;ermon tended toward the sympa- thetic~ which made it more serious and appreciative. The sermon was prolific in its quotations from popu- lar songs and poems, making it gen-
erally more interesting.

After leaving Hampden-Sidney, Mr. Strader came to V. E. S., where he soon became one of the most pop- ular professors of the faculty. Be- sides teaching, Mr. Strader finds time to coach Junior football and basketball and is assistant coach of t rack. These teams, which have be- come to be known as "Slick's teams," have been very successful, the junior football team taking the league championship in 1929, and the boys' basket-ball team in 1930.
During the past summer Professor Strader attended the University of
North Carolina, where he began his studies at law.
