  • A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER, 1924. No. 7. STUDENTS AND FACULTY ENJOY OPENING RECEPTION The reception given by the faculty to the students of the Cullowhee Normal School on the evening of September 20th was by no means a typical one. While it had the good features of a reception, it was at the same time pervaded by a spirit of freedom not usually found in such. In fact, everyone had a genuinely good time. The parlors of the Moore Building where the reception was held, were never more beautiful. A bountiful supply of goldrenrod and asters was used for decorations.. In addition there were dahlias for which the mountain section is famous. The program was an entertaining one. Mrs. Arnold and Miss Black- stock, of the music department, pleased the audience with piano solos. Miss Benton gave an interesting pianologue, "Katydid." Miss Gladstone read "Sonny's School" from the story, "Sonny," by Ruth MeEnary Stuart. This not only furnished entertainment, as it was designed to do, but took us back to our own childhood, for most of us have at least traces of "Sonny" in our dispositions. No one thought of leaving when the program was finished, for had not each one come largely for the purpose of becoming acquainted with others? Anyone brilliant enough to perform a stunt which would catch and hold attention could now do so. Miss Brogdon, after considerable coaxing, gave her favorite lecture on the subject, "Soap." The refreshments were in keeping with the occasion and a generous serving of brick ice cream furnished the climax to the evening's entertainment. The social committee, who planned the reception, is to be congratulated for furnishing a pleasant evening to those present. Pastor of Cullowhee Methodist Church Weds Rev. A. W. Lynch, pastor of the Cullowhee Methodist Church was married to Miss Mary Martin of Waynesville, Wednesday afternoon, October 8th, at 3:30 o'clock. Rev. Lynch's efficient services as Pastor of the local church and his close association with the Normal School dur- »ng the past year have made for him many warm friends both in the School and the community. His bride is the Popular and attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Martin of Waynesville. (Cont'd on page 3) JOHN NELSON WILSON Retiring Bursar of Cullowhee State Normal School. Faithful School Official Retires AFTER LONG YEARS OF SERVICE PROFESSOR J. N. WILSON RESIGNS AS BURSAR. From the inception of this institution to the present time, this school has had among the large host of its sons and daughters no friend more loyal, staunch, and devoted than John Nelson Wilson, who has recently resigned as Bursar and Business Manager after a quarter-century of wise, efficient, and eminently beneficial service to his alma mater. Born on his father's farm in the beautiful Cullowhee Valley, he grew to sturdy young manhood, acquiring (Cont'd on NORMAL SCHOOL SHOWS RAPID GROWTH FOR ATTENDANCE The fall quarter of Cullowhee has opened with gratifying increases in all departments. The total enrollment, exclusive of the demonstration school, is 203. This may be compared with a total the past session for the fall quarter of 150, and for the fall quarter of the session of 1922-'23 of 110. As compared with the fall quarters of the preceding years, the present total attendance is 35 per cent greater than for the session of 1922- '23. The corresponding increases in the number of High School students for the two years are, respectively, 21 per cent and 51 per cent; of the Normal students, 70 per cent and 218 per cent. Thus progress is indicated all along the line, so far as numbers are concerned. We trust corresponding advancement is being made along all lines. Teachers and students seem to be united upon the proposition of making the Cullowhee Normal School the equal of any similar institution in the country. We challenge the friends of education everywhere in the state, and especially in Western North Carolina, to join us in seeing the larger vision for Cullowhee real- habits of industry, honesty, prudence, and thrift. In August, 1889, at the opening of Cullowhee High School (now a State Normal College), he was one of the first eighteen students to enroll; and from that day to this, he has thought and wrought with Cullowhee ever on mind and heart—Cullowhee ever commanding and receiving from him the most ardent devotion, the most faithful service of which he was capable. For years -paid only a meager compensation a great part of the time doing page 3) Mr. W. N. Coward is Newly Elected Bursar Mr. W. N. Coward, a resident of Cullowhee, and a native of Jackson County, is the newly elected bursar of the Normal. He assumed his duties September 1st, upon the retirement of Mr. J. N. Wilson. Mr. Coward, like his predecessor, is an alumnus of the institution. His wife, who was Miss Evelyn Pritchard Roy- all, was formerly a teacher at Cullowhee. He thus comes to his new position with a genuine interest in the school's welfare. Mr. Coward,, after his graduation, was for two years a teacher in Jackson County. Subsequently he spent two years in Seattle, Washington. After this, he was for seven years, travelling representative over the Southern States for C. H. Robinson Company, publishers, Charlotte. Then he was successively a member of the local mercantile firms of Henson and Coward and of Bryson, Coward and Company. For the past two years he has been travelling salesman for the Mercantile Supply Company, Sylva. Mr. Coward (Cont'd on page 2)
