  • THE CULLOWHF.tt v 0 D E L SONGS OF APPALACHIA ARE PRESENTED (Continued from p I 1) cant interpretations. He has combined his skill as an entertainer with the splendid idea of stimulating a deeper appreciation for the native folklore in verse and song. Thus his programs not only entertain, but offer real educational value as well. His strong approval by the audience was shown by the continued applause throughout the program and the several encores called for and given after he had announced his last number. A show of hands indicated that many of the senior members of the audience had heard quite a number of the folk songs rendered and their faces beamed with delight as they heard again such numbers as Cumberland Cap, Drinking Wine, The Weeping Willow, and others. The entertainer also introduced several readings in keeping with the spirit of the hour, which were blended in happily with his banjo selections. To encourage a greater interest in folk ballads, Mr. Lunsford briefly outlined a contest for the collection of original folk songs, which promises to create quite a bit of interest among the students, lie has offered a five dollar prize to the one who will collect the best folk ballad and send it to him within the next two weeks. It is believed that such efforts will result in bringing together many valuable ballads which otherwise will probably never find way into print. Mr. Lunsford was introduced by Hon. Marvin Glance, of Asheville, who at one time attended the Cullowhee Normal. Mr. Glance in his remarks expressed his delight at the rapid changes and remarkable developments which have taken place at Cullowhee since he was a student here. Mr. Lunsford was also accompanied by Mr. II. W. Cordon, a representative of Harvard faculty.

Institute. The teams of the Normal School are ineligible but meet the winners in exhibition games after the trophies have been awarded. The winning teams are allowed to engrave the name of the school and the date on the cups which become the property of any team holding them for three successive years. Twenty-four teams are expected to be present for the coming contest. Among those who have already applied are Waynesville, Sylva High School, Franklin, Andrews, Sylva Collegiate Institute, and Bryson City. Basket Ball Tournament to Be Held In Early March The annual basket ball tournament for Western North Carolina high schools will be held at Cullowhee on March fourth, fifth and sixth. The contest is open to high schools of this section only and is promoted to stimulate interest in athletics among our schools. Last year fifteen teams of girls and boys entered making the contest very interesting throughout. The M. V. Moore cups were awarded to the girls of the Waynesville High School and the hoys of the Sylva Collegiate Johnnie's Christmas f (Editors Note: To create interest X in story and theme writing among the X students of the demonstration school * the Yodel agreed to publish the best * original Christmas story written by * pupils of the sixth grade.

Johnnie was a good little boy and he said that he was going to bed and not keep Santa waiting. He said, "Mamma, I want the biggest stocking that you can find anywhere." His mother went and got his stocking for him to hang up. He hung it up, and anxiously asked: "Papa do you reckon my stocking will be full in the morning"? His father said, "yes and running over, too, I suppose." This sent a glow of pleasure to Johnnie's face, for he wondered what would run over his stocking. The little boy went to bed, but he did not go to sleep very soon because he wanted to see Santa Claus fill his stocking. But, alas! he fell asleep and dreamed that Santa Claus had brought him an air rifle. Then he awoke on the cold Christmas morning. He started to jump out of the bed, but his father told him the room was not warm enough. By and by it did get warm enough and out of the bed Johnnie jumped. What do you think he saw? A bicycle standing by his stocking. How this did surprise Johnnie. His, eyes were not at all little. His father bade him look further. He looked in his stocking. He found a cap pistol, a fountain pen and other smaller gifts, besides bananas, candies, oranges, and grape fruit. He was very happy. After breakfast when Johnnie had all the morning duties attended to, he said he wanted to go out and make some one else happy. He set out and came to a little boy who was crying because he didn't have any Christmas presents. Johnnie went to him and gave him some candy and oranges from his pocket. He also gave him some fire crackers. This made the little boy happy. When Johnnie went to bed that night he thought of all that had happened that day. He went to sleep with the memory of a Merry Christ- ******************************************************* | Ensley's Restaurant j * (SUCCESSOR TO JAX RESTAURANT) I NEWSERVICE I I NEW MANAGEMENT ?
