VALENTINE OBSERVED BY NORMAL SCHOOL Everyone at Cullowhee was made happy Monday evening, February 14th, when the dormitory girls entertained the faculty and the boys with a Valentine party. The girls, assisted by Mrs. Posey, had beautifully decorated the parlors of Moore dormitory. The color scheme of red and white was carried out in hearts, candles, and the delicious refreshments of cream and cake. Several interesting games and a few special numbers were enjoyed by all. Quite a number of community boys and girls and former students were guests Several hearts were somewhat disturbed but we have proof of only one being lost and this one is mentioned in another column of this edition. Community Life Club Hears Dr. Olbrechts Dr. and Mrs. Frans M. OlbrechU of Belgium, were the distinguished guests of the Community Life Club, February 17th. While here, Dr. Olbrechts gave a most interesting lecture on Belgium, emphasizing the contrast between the educational systems of Belgium and America. After the lecture, the guests and other vis- re entertained by the Club with refreshments in the Home Economics Department. ONE-SIDED COURSE One mother writes a note to the follows: "Pardon me for calling your attention to the fact, but you have pulled Johnny's right ear until it is longer than his left. Please pull his left ear awhile and oblige." What Would Happen If Cecil Sisk should miss a week- ,.id at Cullowhee? If Carr Hooper did not go to Canton? If Mada Wilson couldn't talk to the boys? If Dola McLamb couldn't go to the bookstore ? If Roger Ferguson couldn't be excused from the table? If Ruth Pierce couldn't cry ? If Alden Penland should return to Cullowhee 1 If Ray Gibbs should remember all his dates? If Miss Powell should forget to say, "Please register if you are going out for the week-end ? Much interest is being shown by the students in the two prize essay contests. The Debate Council has announced that twenty-three students have submitted their name testants. CULLOWHEE ENTERTAINED WITH LYCEUM NUMBER On February 11th a thrilling mystery play, Wandering Spooks, was presented at Cullowhee by the Ruth and L. Verne Slout Players. The play held the audience in suspense, baffling them as to the solution until the final curtain. The play was full of queer turns and many surprises, but everything was cleared up in the end. Again, on the 16th a very delightful and instructive Lyceum number was given by Mrs. Julia Culbreth Gray of Washington, D. C. The program consisted of many folk songs of France, England, Russia, Italy and negro folk songs of America. The costumes, representative of the various times and countries, added much to the evening's entertainment. The Name of Yodel Significant Title The inquiry has been made time and again why we choose to call our paper the Yodel and just what is the significance of the word. In response to such questions it seems timely here to quote from the first issue of the Yodel published in February, 1924. from an article entitled "Traditions Memorialized in the Name." This article was written by Miss Clutie Bloodworth, a member of our faculty at that time, who had the honor of suggesting this name for our school paper. An extract from her article reads as follows: "The name of the student-faculty publication is symbolic of its purpose and plan, and gives promise of unique individuality. The yodel is the good- morrow of one worker to another, the piercingly high note of laughter with an undertone of loneliness. Composed by the solitary Swiss shepherds whose duties led them higher and higher up the mountains in search of the rich green pastures left by the melting snow, and whose social impulses prompted them to hail and receive hail from their distant and unseen fellows, the yodel is attuned to the atmosphere of the mountains; is a gamut of sounds calculated to transfer a message far and ungarbled, and has a tone and quality vividly alive with life's social creed. "Western North Carolina is the little Switzerland of America. Yodelling is characteristic of this little Switzerland; and Cullowhee, the place of the lilies, is one of the fairest of little Switzerland's mountain pastures. Cullowhee Yodel, Lilies, Mountains, send their friendly call to you." SPRING QUARTER OPENS MARCH 7TH Monday, March 7th, has been set as the registration day for the spring quarter. As the courses in each quarter represent complete units of work, all students will be required to register again on that date. The enrollment will be materially increased as a large number of teachers in the short term schools return to continue their studies. President Hunter states that reservations at present indicate that sixty or more new students will be enrolled. Several new courses are being organized, and every effort will be made to adjust the work to the best interest of all. President Hunter Attending N. E. A. President Hunter left last Wednesday for Dallas, Texas, to attend the meeting of the Department of Superintendents of the National Education Association. While away he will also attend the conference of the Teachers College Extension Association in St. Louis and will visit a number of Teachers Colleges and Normal Schools enroute. Students Enjoy Picnic Supper Misses Feagans and Graves entertained their table with an outing, Thursday afternoon, the 17th. Each member invited a guest and the party with it's hostesses journeyed to the old school reservoir, about a mile from the campus. At sunset, supper was cooked and served in the open, after which the boys and girls gathered about the campfire and enjoyed stories, songs and games. The following guests were present: Misses Annie Lee Mullinnex, Clara Thomas, Ida Gray, Margaret Spell, Mamie Moses, Elizabeth Deal, Bernice Bridges, Elizabeth Sorrell, Alma Jackson, Frances McCotter, Madge Dillard, Maggie Smith; Messrs. Charles Sutton, John Sam Lay. President Hunter: (after having had a talk with Mr. Wood on the campus). Which way was I going when I met you, toward the house or toward the office ? Mr. Wood: You were going toward the office. President Hunter: That's right, I have just been home for lunch. Professor Madison: Give me a sen fence using the word vermin. Samuel Hyatt: Before I go fishin', I go vermin.
