  • A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA. JUNE, 1925 PRESIDENT CALFEE IS COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER On the morning of May _'.i, a large crowd of people assembled to witness the graduation - High School and Normal Seniors. ' President Calfee of the Asheville Nor- mal School delivered the Commencement address on the subject of the "Game of Fooling Yourself." He compared many people to the ostrich, who in time of danger sticks hi head in the sand, and fancies that his whole body is hidden. Mr. Calfee' address was inspirational because it was based on a sound and optimistic philosophy of life, and broughl a valuable message to the audience as well as the graduates. At the close of the address the High School diplomas were awarded to the twenty-nine Allen. President Hunter then spoke to the Normal School Senior- and presented them with diploma and North Carolina Teachers' certificates. It might be of interest to nolo that of the twelve graduates, elevi Grammar Grade B cert if only one received a Primary B certificate. Following the awarding of the diplomas, the annual presentation of the medals was made. Three medals were given to members of each society. The medals in the Ero ophlan Society were distributed as follows: Debaters', Emma Lou Mos«; Declaimed', Hilliard Henson: Readers', Alice Earl Edwards. Of the Columbia Werary Society, Ernest Hall won the Debaters' Medal, Edgar Fisher, the Declaimed, and Mary Carrington, the Readers' medal. Music for the occasion was furnished by the School Glee Club and Orchestra. OPERETTA CAST THE GYPSY ROVER Presented by Boys' and Girls' Glee Club March 24th, Under Direction of Mr. G. B. Arnold.

T. HUNTER. A Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a boy on the other was about all there was to many of our earlier educational institutions. It certainly 11 what is now Cullowhee State Normal school. There was Professor Madison, the young Virginian, founder, stirred by a great faith in the power of education; and there was the mountain youth, denied his birthright, but alert and eager for some little glimpse of the larger world. The ideal human factors, surely, out of which to build a school. The only thing lacking in order to duplicate the Mark Hopkins feat was, perhaps, the log. The accounts of the earlier struggles and triumphs of the school, as related by the older citizens and by those who know the facts, make an intensely interesting chapter in the educational history of North Carolina. The first local efforts toward the present Culowhee were in 1889. The Cullowhee of that day, and even up to the beginning of the present century, was simple but picturesque. There was a blending of the simple virtues and failings and crudities of a pioneer community. It was in the days of "pistol toting," but of heroic defense of the home and community; the days of whiskey drinking, but when drunkenness was the exception, not the rule; the days of homespun and blue jeans clothing, but when every garment represented the faithful and loving sacrifice of wife and mother; the days of mud lanes, the ox cart and the covered wagon — the days when both vices and virtues traveled in low gear. But there were not a few citizens, in that seemingly remote time, who wanted their children to have an education. Eager students came from these mountain coves and valleys, to study, they scarcely knew what. They only knew they were ignorant and they wanted to learn. It was another case of people sitting in darkness seeing a great light. The school stirred the imaginations of people in this section, and its commencement programs were the chief annual attractions for the people of the entire county. Hundreds came, at commencement time; and it is said that, although every home in the community was thrown open, at such time, for the accommodation of visiting friends, the grounds about the buildings would often be covered, for several days, by the camps and tents of those who could not lodging in the homes of th< ity. Evidence is not lacking that these early efforts at education at Cullowhee were not without result. The efforts may have been crude, the buildings and equipment meager, and the number of students small. Perhaps these modem "measurers" of (Continued on page 2) CULLOWHEE SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS WITH BIG ENROLLMENT Cullowhee Summer School has experienced a phenominal growth in recent years, as is evidenced by the fact that a fifty-one per cent increase in attendance over that of last summer is registered. The Summer session opened June 2nd with a total enrollment of 286. The Davies Hall, which last year was reserved for men, is accommodating young women for whom there were no vacancies in the Moore Dormitory. A number of the women, and the men are residing in private homes in the community. The student body represents a wide range of territory, including forty counties of North Carolina, and five states. The counties represented are as follows: Macon, Jackson, Rutherford, Gaston, Yancy, Lincoln, Currituck, Transylvania, Haywood, Robeson, Madison,Cabarrus, Cleveland, Cherokee, Buncombe, Polk, Swain, Davidson, Lenoir, Graham, Cumberland, Person, Davie, Johnston, Bertie, Rowan, Catawba, Wake, Nash, New Hanover, Clay, Wayne, McDowell, Bladen, Henderson, Wilson, Iredell, Burke, Stokes, and Carteret. The eastern part of the State has the largest representation in the history of the school—which indicates that the students of East Carolina are recognizing the educational and climatic advantages offered at Cullowhee. The states represented are: Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Out-of-staters are: Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Bleckley, Rabungap, Ga.; Beulah Brantley, Dillard, Ga.; Muriel Bulgin, Cleveland, Ga.; Lois Coleman, Young Harris, Ga.; Leona Gabriel, Cleveland, Ga.; Pauline Hood, Young Harris, Ga.; Kate Paris, Clayton, Ga.; Fannie Sue Rucker, Hartwell, Ga.; Roberta Smith, Kensington, Ga.; Bessie Warren, Hartwell, Ga.; Mabel Burnside, Troy, S. C.j Emma Greene, Pickens, S. C; Pearle Hoffman and Ruth Hoffman, Blackville, S. C.J Era Hooker, North, S. C; Elizabeth Richardson, Manning, S. C; Sara Whitlock, Jonesville, S. C; Viola G. Clark, Newport, Tenn.; G. S. McCormick, Java, Va. President Hunter is delighted with the large number and the personnel of the present summer school, and he states that the outlook for the second session, July 14 to August 21, is very promising. Reservations and inquiries are coming in rapidly. Several new instructors have been engaged for the second session, and every effort will be made to make it pleasant and profitable for those who attend.
