  • oraMm state mmsL warn A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER, 1924 BOOK WEEK OBSERVED WITH UNIQUE PROGRAM Old Mystery Play Enjoyed by All. Children's Book Week, November 9-15, was an important feature in the term's work at Cullowhee. Since the Demonstration School is establishing a library of its own the faculty took advantage of this opportunity to teach much necessary knowledge about the care of books. The following program was given: Ushers dressed in costume: Little Lord Fauntlercoy, Gussie Harrell; Little Red Riding Hood, Elizabeth Morton; Miles Standish, Carson Bryson; Priscilla, Sarah Bell Hooper. I. Pantomine: Mother Goose Rhymes, 1st Crade Teacher—Miss II. Favorite Characters from Favorite Stories, 2nd Grade Teacher— Miss Hyatt 1. Alice and the Hare, from "Alice in Wonderland." 2. The Three Little Pigs. 3. The Goose and the Golden Egg. 4. Puss in Boots. HI. A Trip Around the World, 3rd Grade Teacher—Mis. Ring, Father, Mother and Children reading, sitting before the fire place. Possibly they read of the children who appear. Scotch children, Irish children, Dutch children, Italian children, Eskimo children, Negro children, Japanese children. i IV.

The elementary school, high school, and normal department united their FOOTBALL TEAM. Yodellers Close Successful Football Season When, for the first time in the history of the institution, the call for football candidates went out, only nineteen boys responded. Of this number two were injured in the first scrimmage and forced out during the entire season. Of the remaining number only one was present who had ever participated in the game. The problem of developing this raw material into a football team was by no means easy ,as Coach Johnson well knew, but he never despaired. The first game was lost to Waynesville High School by a score of 70-0, which indicates the lack of experience that so handicapped the Yodellers. It was indeed a surprise, however, when the lads held the same opponents to a score of 13-0 only one week later. Two games were lost to Canton High by scores of 19-0 and 31-0, then the jinx was broken. Weaver High was met and vanquished 13-0 and adopting the slogan, "We ain't gonna lose no more," the Yodellers defeated the Cherokee Indians, a much heavier team, on Turkey-Day, 19-0 and repeated the trick on Monday following by a score of 21-0. Although the team lost four of the seven games played, Coach Johnson declares his men are winners, and when we recall that it is a first year team with only one experienced man, we are inclined to agree with him. Purple sweaters with old gold letters will be awarded to fourteen lads. efforts to make this program a success, thus the work formed a splendid project for the entire school. The work furnished material for music, English and art in the grades. The pupils in the art department did a finished and artistic unit of work in the planning and making of costumes. They became quite familiar with the library in their search for costumes appropriate for the different centuries and in searching through poems and stories to find details about the dress of certain characters. The posters designed and made by this department are worthy of the highest praise. The normal class in Children's Literature was given a splendid opportunity of displaying knowledge already learned. Their contribution of Fairyland was one of the most en joyable features of the program. This two hour pragram which used the majority of the children of the grades was given for the Community Life Club and a large audience of fathers and mothers enjoyed the performance. Miss Gladstone, the librarian, who was chairman of Book Week Program and Miss Rainwater, who helped to plan the program, deserve much praise for initiating this piece of work. CHRISTMAS PAGEANT BRILLIANT SUCCESS MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED A splendid Christmas program, partaking of the nature of the Old Mystery Play or Pageant of The Birth of the Christ Child, was given on the night of December the 17th in the auditorium of the Demonstration School. The audience was impressed greatly by the spirit of reverence manifested by those taking part. The characters were: Herald : Ernest Hall Mary Helen Saunders Joseph Mack Kelly Angel Emma Lou Moss Shepherds Ernest Monteith Abel Hyatt, Tom Reeves. Wise Men Max Hooper Charles Sutton, Wayne Battle. A Child Elise McQuire The impression given to the audience was that of a pageant typical of the time portrayed. The costumes were carefully and brilliantly designed and were appropriate to each character. The staging gave the correct atmosphere because attention had been given to the smallest details such as the manger, the straw, the lighting and various decorations. The acting and speaking of the players showed thoughtful religious feeling and an atmosphere of sincere reverence was felt by the audience. The music accompanying the pageant was given by the children of the Demonstration School. Soft and reverent tones gave the desired effects. We hope to make this pageant a tradition of the school and that pictures may be preserved to keep the play and its atmosphere the same every year. This pageant was under the direction of Mrs. J. B. Arnold head of the music department. Miss Lydia Bancroft, art instructor, designed the costumes which showed most careful thought and preparation. Appreciation is due also to Messrs. Alexander and Brown, Mrs. Johnson and Miss Benton for their help in making the pageant such a success. Better be still and let people think you a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.

At a recent meeting of the Erosophian Literary Society, the following officers were elected for the winter quarter: President Erwin Robinson Vice-President Max Hooper Corresponding Sect.
