  • A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Vol. VI Cullowhee, North Carolina, February 15, 1929 Nrs.RuthBryanOwen In Lyceum Attraction Visitors from Cullowhee, Sylva, and Bryson City, together with the student body, were entertained Friday night, Feb. 1, by Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen with a wonderful lecture on "Modern Arabian Knights." Mrs. Owen, daughter of America's great commoner, the late William Jennings Bryan has traveled widely in the West Indies, Egypt, England, Africa, India, and the Far East; and last year in June, 1928, she won by a tremendous majority the Democratic nomination for congress in her Florida district. During the World War Mrs. Owen was in Egypt and Palestine, and she told us many incidents that happened there, making us feel as if we were traveling with her. First, we were shopping in Cairo, being served with refreshments in front of a store, bargaining with the merchant, trying to collect something in payment for bringing some customers to his store, or going to a perfume booth in a bazaar, where a drop of violet, lily of the valley, or banana perfume was placed on us. Then she told us about the soldiers crossing two hundred miles of desert and walking on roads of chicken wire (Continued on page 3) The Flashlight Published by Tr.

The paper is sponsored by Miss Camp and the Critic teachers, and its contributions are received from the different grades.

It is a project in which e entire school can participate, and "j ls serving to help vitalize certain c|ass room activities.

Cullowhee Yodelers Win Double Vestry Plans Being Made For From Boone and Biltmore Junior College Cullowhee Tournament Two of the best basketball games in this section were witnessed Monday night, February 11, when the Cullowhee girls defeated the strong Appalachian State Normal sextet 28 to 22, and the boys took the scalp of the Biltmore Junior College five by a 27 to 18 count. The visiting girls took an early lead that seemed too great to overcome, but the Cullowhee lassies finally struck their stride and the half ended with Cullowhee leading 14 to 13. The second period opened with a rush. The defensive play of Griffin, Rush, and Teague was too much for the visitors. They were held to 8 points while Cullowhee scored 16. Allen with 19 points to her credit was the offensive star of the game. Feeling pepped up over the victory of the girls, the Normal boys scalped the Junior College lads in fine style. The Buncombe County Collegians put up a game fight, but at no time during the game were the Yodelers in serious danger. A six point lead gained in the first minutes of the play was too great to overcome, and the visitors were forced to fight an uphill battle during the entire game. The half ended with the Yodelers holding a 14 to 7 lead. Lanning was the outstanding star for the visitors. The members of the home team played a steady game and freely deserved to win over their opponents. The sportsmanship exhibited by every player taking part in the two games was commendable. The lineup for the girls' game: Cullowhee (28) Boone (22) Coley (9) Howie (6) F. Allen (19) Thorneburg F. Moody Griffin (16) F. Griffin Reeves G. Rush Griffith G. Teague Hollifield G. Substitutes: Cullowhee, Garner for Teague. Boone, Garrison for Reeves. The lineup for the boys' game: Cullowhee (27) Biltmore (17) Wilson Matherson (2) F. Watson (8) Lominac (4) F. Rogers (5) Lanning (10) C. Fincannon (8) Stradley G. Henry (2) Setzer (1) G. Substitutes: Cullowhee, Battle (4) for Wilson. Time of halves: 20 minutes. Referee: Roberts, Carson Newman. The Yodel Originated With Mountain Swiss If we were roaming the hills of Switzerland, in the still of a summer evening, we would be startled at the melodious music suddenly echoing among the crags of a distant mountain. This sound would go echoing along the valley to be taken up by a voice from another hilltop and sent on its way. The music with its succession of notes so weird and yet so beautiful seems like a spirit calling to its kindred among the hills, so joyous and full of life that we stop to wonder and envy the songster his voice. 'Tis but a shepherd lad sending his accustomed evening song of welcome and good will to his friends on other hill tops. Each shepherd takes up the melody and sends it on to others. This song is known as the Yodel. It originated among the shepherds in the hills of Switzerland. The song has been carried from country to country, revised and used in many of our great musical compositions. The Yodel that we think of, as the shepherds song, has never died. (Continued on page 3) Cullowhee Yodelers Take Ninth Victory Cullowhee met and defeated the strong Sylva High School five Monday night, Feb. 4, on the Normal floor, 30 to 21 in a thrilling exhibition of basketball. Coach Shealey's team put up a strong fight, but could not withstand the attack of the Yodelers. The game was featured by close guarding from both teams. The game drew a record crowd and intense excitement ran through the crowd during the entire game. At one time during the game, the Yodelers held a fourteen point lead, but this was reduced to a nine point margin in the later part of the game. Watson with 11 points and Fincannon with 8 were high point men for the winners, while Queen and Reagon carried high honors for the losers. Rogers, Wilson, Battle and Henry, exhibited some splendid floor work at times. Sylva has an exceptionally fast team and will bear watching when in possession of the ball. Lineups for the game: Cullowhee 30 Sylva High 21 (Continued on page 2) The fifth annual Cullowhee Invitation Basketball Tournament will be held the 6, 7, and 8th of March. This tournament for the Western North Carolina High Schools was begun in 1924-'25 when two loving cups, one for the winning girls team and one for the winning boy's team, were furnished by M. V. Moore of Asheville. Any team winning a cup three years in succession may keep it. The following winning teams since 1924 are: 1924-'25 Waynesville Girls; S. C. I. Boys. 1925-'26 Iotla Girls; Sylva Boys. 1926-'27 Franklin Girls; Waynesville Boys. 1927-'28 S. C. I. Girls; Hayesville Boys. There are certain requirements each team must meet before it can enter the tournament. The most important of these is the one of the personal qualifications of the players. This rule makes it impossible that any but amateur players enter. It states that he must be passing in three subjects out of four being studied; he shall have been a student of the school he represents for twelve weeks prior to the tournament; no person who has played four years high school basketball is eligible; and no player will be eligible who is over 21 years of age. (Continued on page 3) Mr. Alexander Praises Work at Cullowhee Mr. P. W. Alexander, formerly at the head of our Training School, left Cullowhee to become director of the Training School at the East Tennessee Teachers' College, Johnson City. Mr. Alexander efficiently served Cullowhee for two years, and it was with sincere regret that we had to give him up. Yet, we rejoiced to see him receive a distinct promotion, which he so well merited. His popularity was not confined to the member of the faculty and student body, but he was loved and greatly appreciated by the people of the whole community. A recent letter received from Mr. Alexander by one of his friends here bears evidence that he has not ceased to think favorably of the high standard of work being done at Cullowhee and the possibilities of its future achievements under the leadership of President Hunter. He says in part, "My two years' stay there opened my eyes to its real value and the possibility of its service to North Carolina, and more particularly to Western North Carolina. Intelligent leadership is essential to the growth of any school, and Cullowhee has that. I doubt if any institution can show (Continued on page 3)
