Faculty Members Entertain Seniors On Monday evening, October the 26th, the supervisors and critic teachers of Cullowhee State Normal entertained all the seniors doing practice teaching this quarter and those who are scheduled to do practice teaching next quarter. The seniors were met at the door by Misses Ray and Rainwater and invited into the "Plush" room, where they remained for only a short time. Miss Ray then asked them to go for their coats, for they would need them. This aroused the seniors' curiosity, but they did not say a word. They only went as they were requested. When they returned, full of eagerness, Misses Ray and Rainwater escorted them over to the auditorium, where they were met by Mr. Alexander, who ushered them to the reserved seats, which were marked by the class colors, green and white. Here they were delightfully entertained with a good motion picture. At the conclusion of the picture, Mr. Alexander escorted them down to the domestic science laboratory, where they were met by the supervisors and critic teachers. Both the faculty and seniors found their places by the place cards that were artistically printed and painted. The room was beautifully decorated with the harmonizing colored autumn leaves, pot plants and green and white crepe paper. Two delicious courses were served; the first being a salad course, and the second an ice course. They also had green and white mints, which helped to carry out the color scheme. Between the two courses Mr. Alexander gave a very inspiring toast to the seniors, stating that the banquet was to bring the seniors and faculty closer together. Miss Padgett responded to his toast in behalf of the seniors, in which she expressed their appreciation, and that they hoped to prove it by doing better work in the future. While the ice course was being served, President Hunter made an interesting talk to the seniors, commending them for their hearty co-operation and their good work. He also brought out a few points that he wanted them to remember in the future. This ended his talk, and after they had finished the second course, everybody left declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening. whole party was soon conducted in a daring tour through the chamber of horrors, where they were permitted to peep into the lower regions. Here they saw Bluebeard and his wives, the attending imps, and other frightful scenes. The shrieks made by the inhabitants and the guests created an atmosphere that was somewhat uncomfortable for the time. The fortune teller was kept busy in her booth for more than an hour revealing startling facts to those who were anxious about their future welfare and happi- After some time was spent in general merriment the guests were assembled in the large reception room (formerly the dining hall), where a specially prepared program was given. The numbers were in keeping with the spirit of the occasion and again some thrilling scenes were introduced along with a comical program. At 9:46 p. in., it was officially announced that refreshment! were ready to be served in the front reception room. Here were found prepared punch, wafers, candy, and apples which were served in abundance. At 10 o'clock the guests left after singing a good-night song and giving fifteen rahs for the boys of Davies Hall. The whole arrangement for the party was under the supervision of Mr. P. W. Alexander, who was assisted in arranging the decorations and the refreshments by Mrs. Lucy Posey, Social Director and Miss Alice Benton, Chairman of the Students Activities Committee.

Invitations were sent out in advance, suggesting that each guest come masked and be on close guard for witches and ghosts. The reception halls were beautifully decorated with lighted pumpkins, crepe paper hangings, and rich colored foliage from the mountain sides. The lights were carefully shaded, which gave the whole setting an inviting habitation for strange spectres and weird looking creatures. At eight o'clock sharp the sister "spooks" and apparitions from Moore dormitory and the neighboring hills made their appearance a hundred strong. They were ushered in by unknown hosts, and at once the fun began. The Henderson Student Wins Folk Song Prize The Bye-dollar prize offered by Hon. B. I.. I.iin ford, at his recent appearance here for the best folk ballad submitted within two weeks, was won by Miss Mary Powell, of Henderson County. Under th:' rule:? of the contest any student of the Cullowhee Normal was allowed to enter, the winner to be selected by Messrs. Lunsford and Gordon. No paper offered wa i to bear a name but was to be identified by a number. We quote the following from Mr. Lunsford's letter: "The collection from Cullowhee is by far the best I have received. Indeed, so many of the songs offered were new to me thai it was hard to judge them. After careful reading, however, the judges feel that number ten should receive the prize which I am enclosing herewith. I plan to return to Cullowhee soon for I am convinced that the best types of folk literature can be collected there from your students." Number ten, "Floella," will be printed in the January issue of the Yodel together with an outline of a similar contest to be open to the pub- lie. It is our purpose to collect and file in the school library the folk ballads and folk tales which are said to be found in the purest form in the Appalachian Mountains. Friendship cannot become permanent unless it becomes spiritual. There must be fellowship in the deepest things of the soul, community in the highest thoughts, sympathy with the best endeavors.—High Black.
