Each speaker handled her subject in a very satisfactory manner and the audience showed its appreciation by giving the debaters the closest attention throughout the program. The decision of the judges was well received and the speakers for the final debate will be as follows: Affirmative; Miriam Stillwell and Dorothy Davis; alternate, Grace Brecdlove; Negative; Ada Moss and Harriette Brendle; alternate, Jessie Moody. The judges were Miss Mary Graves, Messrs. J. S. Seymour and I. K. Stafford. The subject for the final debate, which will be held April 9, is: Resolved, That the United States should grant to the Philipines their immediate independence. Cullowhee's negative team will meet the affirmative team of Inter- mont College at Intermont, while our affirmative will debate Mars Hill's negative team at Cullowhee. Intermont's negative team will go to Mars Hill. Prizes Awarded For Pageant Productions The students in Section 1 of English 22, under tl e direction of W. E. Bird, have been engaged for the last few wteka in the production of two plays to be used in the commencement pageant. The class was divided into two groups and each group produced a prize composition, the one on the removal of the Cherokee Indians in 1838 and the other on the modern educational problems of Western North Carolina. The compositions produced showed original work on the Part of the students and it was with difficulty that the judges were able to announce the winners. After a series of eliminations Miss Stella Cowan and Miss Mary Louise Russell were awarded first place for the respective groups. The prizes offered V Professor Bird, which consisted of two attractive books, were presented to the winners at chapel March 1st by Professor E. H. Stillwell. Special mention was made of the following students who were considered in the final selection for the winners: Misses Grette Little, Jessie Moody, Bernice Bridges, and Mr. Carr Hooper. H you have lifted a fallen spirit, mended a broken heart, enlightened a doubtful mind, rescued a sinking so«li you have performed the resurrection of life. EROSOPHIANS WIN OVER COLUMBIANS One of the most interesting and by far the most enthusiastic athletic events of the season was the inter- society basketball games played Tuesday night, March 1st, between the Erosophians and the Columbians. The players for the boys and girls on both sides fought hard for the victory, and the team work and goal shooting were indeed spectacular. The support from the side lines could not have been improved, and there was almost a continual shout of yells from start to finish. Although the rivalry ran high, the very best spirit prevailed throughout. Mr. Browning, referee, of Sylva, stated that he believed that he never had the pleasure of refereeing two cleaner games than these. The final scores which indicated two victories for the Erosophians were as follows: Girls, 13 to 12; boys,'31 to 13. The lineups for both games were as follows: GIRLS. Erosophians—Fofwards, Wike, Ed- ney; Center, Souther, Clayton; Guards Boyd, Moody, P. Columbians — Forwards, Brooks, Hunter; Center, Higdon; Guards, Lane, J., Moody, J., Crawford. BOYS. Erosophians—Forwards, Bryson, A., Bryson, C, Center, Crawford. Guards, Ferguson, Long. Columbians—Forwards, Gass, Wor- ley; Center, Higdon; Guards, Phillips, Campbell. Substitutes: Lay for Worley; Wilson for Campbell. Learning, like money, may be of so b(*se a coin as to be utterly void of Use; or if sterling, may require good management to make it serve the pur- Poses of sense and happiness. Columbians Present Carolina Program The Columbian Literary Society held its regular meeting February 26 and gave a very interesting Carolina program. The following numbers were presented: Song, Society; Current Events of North Carolina, Mary Arnold; Brief History of North Carolina, Lucille Hunter; Banjo Selection, Lyle Higdon; What the Proposed Smoky Mountain Park will Mean to North Carolina, Maggie Smith. Noted Men and Women of North Carolina, Pauline Young; North Carolina Poems Grace Breedlove; Facts About North Carolina, Elizabeth Deal. Mr. Alexander Is Chapel Speaker Mr. P. W. Alexander, former director Training School, spoke at chapel Saturday, February 26, before a joint meeting of the Normal students and the children in the Training School. He delighted the audience with a few selected poems from Edgar A. Guest, after which he gave an inspiring talk on the subject of leadership. His message was very timely and was well received. PRACTICE TEACHERS HONORED BY BANQUET Perhaps there has been no event this year which the Seniors have enjoyed more than the banquet given them on the night of February 25, by the supervisors and critic teachers of the Cullowhee Training School. Misses Ray, Queen, and Saunders greeted the guests at the door and conducted them into the reception room. From here they were ushered into the library of the Training School, which served as a banquet room, where the guest found their seats by place cards. The room was effectively decorated with forsythia and japanica. On the table the Senior colors of green and silver were carried out. These tables which were arranged in the shape of a Roman cross, were tastefully decorated with runners of green and silver crepe paper on which the Cullowhee lily had been painted in silver. In addition to other decorations the silver candles on the tables shed a soft glow over the room. An elaborate four course dinner was prepared by the Community Life Club and served by the Home Economics Class. Miss Ray acted as toastmis- tress. Mr. J. S. Seymour, Director of the Training School, gave a toast to the practice teachers in which he commended them for the brave charge they had made in spite of criticisms and discouragements. To this Miss Edna Robinson gave a reply. Miss Theresa Taylor gave a toast to the practice teachers of the winter class in which she humorously alluded to the fall class as being more "experienced, scholarly, and poised." Miss Rachel Eaton, a member of the winter class responded to this. Another thing that added pleasure to the occasion was the presence of Mrs. H. T. Hunter, Mrs. J. S. Seymour and Mr. P. Wade Alexander, former director of the Training School here. He gave a very interesting talk, comparing the Normal schools of our country with those of Germany and other places. We regretted that Pres. Hunter could not be with us since he was attending the N. E. A. meeting in Texas. Throughout the entire evening many songs were sung and yells were given. When the Seniors left they carried with them bits of the decorations as a remembrance of the very delightful occasion. Miss Benton Gives Birthday Dinner On the evening of Thursday, February 24th, Miss Alice Benton served a delightful four course birthday dinner in the teachers' parlor, Moore dormitory, in honor of Mrs. Posey and LARGE ENROLLMENT FOR SPRING QUARTER Monday, March 7th, was registration day for the spring quarter. President Hunter states that the enrollment shows an increase of approximately twenty-five per cent over that of the spring quarter of last year. Several new courses have been organized on account of the increase in number and the special need of those coming in at this season of the year. Most of the new students have been engaged in the short term schools and in a number of cases have been carrying correspondence courses with us while in service. The School has been unable to take care of all the requests for reservation in Moore dormitory and quite a number have been located in private homes near the campus. August Class Elect Officers The seniors in residence who plan to graduate in August at the close of the summer quarter met a short time ago for the purpose of class organization. The following officers were elected: President, Tennie Pri- vette; Vice President, Mrs. H. F. Burley; Secretary-Treasurer, Harriette Brendle; Reporter, Emma Cox. The president appointed a committee to select the class flower, the motto, and the colors, to be passed upon by the members. The membership of the class will be materially increased with the beginning of the summer quartet, when several who have been teaching return to complete their requirements for graduation. Syllabus Published By Prof. Stillwell We take pleasure in announcing that Professor E. H. Stillwell of the History Department has just recently published Part II of a very valuable outline in American History. These outlines are especially adapted for teachers and students in classroom work and for extension or correspondence courses. Part I reviews our American History over a period from the discovery of America to the Civil War; Part II extends from the latter period to the present day. These outlines can be secured directly from the author at a small cost. Miss Reams. The table was beautifully decorated with candles and flowers. Two large birthday cakes also added to the attractiveness of the table. Place cards bore the following names: Mrs. Posey, Mrs. H. T. Hunter, Miss Benton, Miss Reams, Mr. P. W. Alexander, Mr. Allen.
