A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere Vol. IV. CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, JANUARY 15. 1927 CULLOWHEE FRESHMEN (IRE REPRESENTATIVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS The Cullowhee State Normal received twenty-four of the high school seniors who were tested in the statewide high school examination given :n the spring of 1926, based on the Iowa Comprehension test and the Thorndike Word Knowledge test. A comparative study of the records made by these students indicate that they are representative in ability of the college freshmen in the state. From a report submitted by Dr. M. R. Trabue of the University of North Carolina on November 23, 1926, giving the median scores for 2565 students who enrolled in college in the fall of 1927, the following comparisons are made: N. C. College Cullowhee Freshmen Freshmen Iowa Comprehension (Median) 17.76 18 Thorndike Word Knowledge (Median) 68.3 66 These figures show that the Cullowhee students measure approximately to the standard for college freshmen over the state at large going slightly above the standard on the one test and falling slightly below on the other. The range of scores were not given, but the individual records in hand suggest that Cullowhee students would compare favorably in the upper attainment of scores made. Correspondence-Study Shows Rapid Growth The Correspondence-Study Department of the Cullowhee Normal has made marked progress since its organization in the fall of 1925. Up to the Present date 95 courses have been completed and credits granted. At Present there are 96 students enrolled for correspondence courses with 123 courses pursued. The second edition of the Correspondence Bulletin has recently been issued, carrying the out- "ne of several new courses. The quality of work being done has been v«y satisfactory. This department is serving in a very valuable way in a'ding students to secure credits toward higher certificates and graduation. Cullowhee Among the Leaders According to Dr. Jas. E. Hillman, Director of Certification, Mate Department of Education, Raleigh, twenty-nine North Carolina educational institutions sent into the public schools oi the state at the beginning of the present session a total of 188U new teachers who had had one or more years of education beyond high school graduation. Of these twenty-nine schools, six are State institutions, while twenty-three are denominational or private. The six state schools furnished 996 new teachers with one or more years of training beyond the high school, while the twenty-three private or denominational schools furnished 884. The following ten schools stand highest in the number of teachers furnished of this class: Institution: East Carolina Teachers College North Carolina College for Women.... Duke University Appalachian State Normal Meredith College CULLOWHEE STATE NORMAL University of North Carolina Mars Hill College Wake Forest College Lenoir-Rhyne College Note—Statistics were not secured for the Asheville Normal, which doubtless deserves a place in this list. Teachers Furnished 357 .._ 348 144 Ill 98 88 82 70 66 51 Student Government Association Adopts New Constitution There was a called meeting of the Student Government Association in the reading room of Moore Dormitory, January 7th. The purpose of this meeting was to present to the Association the new constitution and bylaws, which had been drafted by a constitution committee, composed of faculty and student members. Miss Benton read the constitution to the Association. The name of the organization was changed from Student Government Association to Young Women's House Government Association. The constitution was adopted after a few modifications were made. It is believed that our Student Government will function better than ever before. Why should we call ourselves men, unless it be to succeed in everything, everywhere? Say of nothing "This is beneath me" nor feel that anything is beyond our powers. Nothing is impossible to the man who can will.—Miraheow. rt is not he that enters any career, or starts in any race, but he that funs well and perseveringly that gains wiat plovelits of others, or the approval of his own concience.—Alexander Campbell. Success lies not in achieving what you aim at, but in aiming at what you ought to achieve, and pressing forward, sure of achievement here, or if not here, hereafter.—R. F. Horton. Christmas Dinner And Christmas Tree Enjoyable Features Every faculty member and student began to realize that the Christmas holidays were near when on December 16th Miss Powell prepared a real Christmas dinner, which was beauti fully served at the evening meal. The color scheme of red and white was carried out in the decoration of the tables, which were covered with many kinds of delicious foods. Everybody manifested the Christmas spirit as the room echoed with yells and songs of good cheer. After dinner was over, all assembled in the reception hall, where a Christmas tree had been placed and artistically decorated with gifts. A short time was spent in singing Christmas carols, after which two Christmas stories were beautifully related by President Hunter and Miss Josephine Safrit. Then came the exciting time of taking the gifts from the tree and reading out the names of those receiving them. Each person received some gift as a remembrance of the occasion. The servants were not forgotten by the faculty or students. Everyone left the reception hall wishing a Merry Christmas to all. Your sole contribution to the sum of things is yourself.—Frank Crane. The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of work.— Sarah Bolton. Nothing is easier than fault finding; no talent, no self denial, no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling business- Robert West. SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS TRULY PORTRAYED IN CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The Christmas pageant given by the students "of the High School and Normal departments Wednesday, December 15th, under the direction of Miss Alice Benton and Miss Mary Rose Feagans proved quite a success. The cast of characters was as follows- Mary, Rachel Eaton; Joseph, Broadus Phillips; Angels, Grace Breedlove, Alma Jackson, Bertha Chandler, Annie Brown, Bernice Bridges; Shepherds, Roger Ferguson, James Osborne, Wade Gass; Wise Men, John Sam Lay, Bruce King, J. G. Worley; Prophet, Carr Hooper; Chorus. The stage gave such a pretty setting as the curtain was drawn on the scene of the shepherds "watching their flocks by night" while seated on the ground. Presently an angel appeared bringing to them the "glad tidings of great joy." Guided by the angel the shepherds followed the star to Bethlehem. The second scene was one of sacred beauty. There sat Mary clothed in a robe of blue and white beside the manger where the Christ Child lay. Joseph was standing in silent reverence at the foot of the manger. The wise men then came, presenting their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Behind the curtains a special chorus of boys and girls, led by Miss Feagans, interpreted the scenes to the audiences. The part of the prophet was effectively presented by Carr Hooper, who gave the prophecies as they were pantomimed. A special quartet number was beautifully rendered by President Hunter, Miss Mary Rose Feagans, W. E. Bird, and Miss Mary Graves, accompanied at the piano by Miss Ruth Kirkpat- Cullowhee Offers New Health Survey Course A new course is being given during the winter quarter at Cullowhee involving the making of a complete health survey of approximately 275 children in the Cullowhee Training School. The course is under the direction of Dr. L. B. Newman, resident physician, and Professor C. H. Allen, of the Education Department. Valuable assistance is also being rendered by Mrs. Bessie Haasis, trained A careful physical examination and a complete health record are being made of each child in the Training School. A systematic follow-up program is also being worked out. Thi* course is designed to give practical experience to enable the teachers in the public schools to give intelligent attention to the health condition of the school children.
