  • Stye ffinttibip* fnM A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Vol. VI Cullowhee, North Carolina, March 15, 1929 Cullowhee Yodelers Close a Successful Basketball Season The Cullowhee Yodelers, under the direction of J. M. Plemmons, have just brought to a close one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school, by winning 14 games and losing 3. The team lost to Biltmore Junior College, Appalachian State Normal, and Bluefield College, of West Virginia, the latter being crowned champion of the junior college tournament sponsored by the South Eastern Athletic Association. The Yodelers, in turn, defeated Biltmore and Appalachian in return- engagements. The Yodelers won the respect of the spectators and opposing teams by their clean type of play. Only one player was removed from the game on account of personal fouls during the season. In spite of the fact that all games were played under strict officials, the fouls were held to an average of five per game. Summary of games played: Cullowhee Opponents 31 Canton Y. M. C.

F 195 (Continued on page 3) J>r.C.E.Maddry Visits Cullowhee State Normal Dr. Charles E. Maddry, Secretary °f the Baptist Mission Board of N. ci conducted a series of evangelistic ^rvices at the Baptist Church during the last week of February. A great many of the Normal students took ?art in these services. Dr. Maddry ls an interesting speaker, and all who attended were greatly benefited by the sermons. Miss Joy Beaman, who is the Bap- lst Student Secretary for the Junior U1|eges of Western North Carolina, Was also here during Dr. Maddry's v;s't\and helped him with the services. v Large Enrollment For Spring Quarter Beginning March IS As this issue of the Yodel goes to the press, new students are arriving for the opening of the spring quarter March 15th. Something over sixty new reservations have been made, and it is estimated that the enrollment will be increased by approximately seventy-five students. Several new courses have been added in addition to those outlined in the catalogue to take care of the increased attendance. Davies Hall will again be occupied by girls, and the boys are being cared for in the school cottages and in homes in the community. Another special six weeks term will open April 23rd, at which time the total enrollment is expected to reach between 325 and 350. The winter quarter, which closes with final examinations the 13th and 14th, has been the best quarter in many respects which the school has ever had. The enrollment has been the largest, the interest has been good, the school spirit has been excellent, and in every respect the school has improved. Top row (reading from left to right): Glee Garner, Katheri Benton, Coach, Allieree Kennerly. Second row: Hazel Martin, Faye Coley, Edna Teague. Bottom row: Caroline Allen, Jessie Moody, Rubye Griffin, Louise Rush. Waynesville Wins Two Trophies In Cullowhee High School Tournament t\and 1 i The fifth annual high school basketball tournament was brought to a close on the Normal School court Friday night, March 8th, when Waynesville came through and won both trophies. The girls defeated Cullowhee's sextet 26 to 18 in a hard fought game, and the boys took the victory from Hayesville team 21 to 17 in a game that was full of thrill from the first sound of the whistle. Sylva Collegiate Institute girls and Waynesville boys were crowned champions in 1928. The tournament this year proved to be the best ever held here. A record crowd attended each game, and the largest crowd ever assembled in the gymnasium was present for the final games Friday night. The players and coaches are to be commended for the clean type of sportsmanship exhibited. Too much cannot be said in honor of Walter Brown from Canton "Y", who refereed all the games. He won . the respect of players, coaches, and spectators by his marvelous ability in handling the games. All games were called strictly according to rules, and not one time during the tournament did a player or coach resent a decision made by him. For a successful climax to the week of basketball, the Cullowhee Normal Yodelers challenged the champions for games Saturday night, and they accepted. The champions defeated the Normal sextet 26 to 16, but the blue and gold clad Yodelers were too much for the mountaineer lads, who were defeated 36 to 18 in an exciting game. These last two games were refereed by Coach Shealy of the Central High School, Sylva. Social Life Improved At Cullowhee Normal The Student Body, feeling that the social life on the campus at Cullowhee State Normal could be improved, petitioned the Student Activity Committee of the faculty for more social privileges. The following requests were granted by the Student Activity Committee Feb. 19, 1929: 1—The social hour, 4 to 6 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, may be changed from 4 to 5 o'clock and a vesper service held in the reading room at 5 2—A public tea may be given in the parlor's once each month. 3—Students will be allowed to get whatever they see fit for the reading room in the way of literature on recreation and games.
