  • Sty* (&nllmxAf*t fnM A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Vol. VI Cullowhee, North Carolina, April 1, 1929 Cullowhee Debaters To Meet Boone and Weaver April 5, 6 The Cullowhee Debating teams under the direction of Prof. E. H. Stillwell are scheduled to hold two triangular debates with Weaver College and the Appalachian State Normal School on April 5th and 6th respectively. The subjects for both debates are: Resolved, That North Carolina should levy a state ad valorem tax to aid in the support of an eight months school term. The triangle for the boys will meet Friday evening, the 5th, at 8 o'clock. Cullowhee's negative team represented by Reece Holiday and Alley Hunter will oppose Weaver's affirmative team at Weaver, while Joe Hays and Beaman Kelley will remain at home and defend the affirmative against Boone's negative team. The triangle for the girls will take place at 8 o'clock, Saturday evening, April 6th. Our negative team represented by Misses Vernell Coley and Alice Jones will meet Boone's affirmative team at Boone, while Misses Kathleen Estridge and Elizabeth Griffin will uphold the affirmative side of the question at home against Weaver's negative team. The judges for the local debates have not yet been announced. These debates promise to be unusually interesting and of hi>?h quality, and the public is cordially invited to attend them. Erosophians Present "The End of The Lane" One of the most interesting features at Cullowhee this quarter was the presentation of a play, entitled "The End of The Lane," given by the Erosophian Literary Society, Monday evening, March 18. The play was under the direction of Miss Reams, cntic of the society. The royally on the play was ten ars. This amount however, was more than refunded from the proceeds. The remainder of the receipts went to the treasury for the benefit °i the society. The cast was well selected, and each character played his part with un- usual ability. The characters of the play were as follows; Jim Denver (Jack), A wonderer of unknown parentage—Attley Hunter. fany Sanders (Hal), His pal— Jule Boyd. John Randal, a rich farmer—James Osborne. Bud Nix, His hired man—Lincoln tnsley. Messenger Boy, "Sure Thing"— R°y Watson. Coral Randal, John Randal's only (Continued on page 3) Cullowhee State Normal Changed to Western Carolina Teachers College There has been much rejoicing among the students, faculty members and friends over the change in our charter by the recent Legislature. We have refrained from making announcements since we were not certain as to the character of the charter change until a certified copy of the bill could be secured from Raleigh. President Hunter has sent for a certified copy, and states that a full report will be given the Press of the State when all the facts are known. We do, however, know this much: that "Cullowhee State Normal School" is now ancient history, as the new name for Cullowhee is "Western Carolina Teachers College." That sounds fine, and doubtless settles once for all the old question as to whether Cullowhee is to remain a two-year normal or to become a real teachers college. The gates are now down which barred our natural and inevitable growth toward a college. All aboard for the Greater Cullowhee! That reminds us: Cullowhee!— Cullowhee! There's a charm in that name. Let the official title of the dear old School be anything. Call it a college, university, or seminary; but to the students and to a host of friends, it will still be "Cullowhee." Student Association Elects New Officers The young women of Davies Hall and Moore Dormitory have just recently elected the following officers for their Student Government Association, who are to serve during the spring quarter: President—Madge Stallings. Secretary-Treas.—Lace McLean. House President, Moore Dormitory —Georgia Belle Cooper. House President, Davies Hall—En- ola Arlington. Council Members—Marion Stewart, Rubye Griffin, Lela Mason, Carmen King, and Osie Smith. Those elected to serve six and nine months respectively are: Hattie Wilson, Erma Patterson, Selma Reid Broome, and Lottie Debord. We feel with these girls as leaders of our student government, with Misses Gladstone and Bancroft as our faculty advisers, and with the cooperation of the dormitory girls, our student government will be very successful. Mr. G. L. Morris Gives Interesting Lecture Friday evening, March 15 in the Cullowhee auditorium, Glenn L. Morris brought to a crowded audience a lecture entertainment in which many new and interesting facts of science were popularized and presented in a non-technical manner. A whole week of college lectures were crowded into one program, accompanied by a snappy series of startling, mysterious, unbelieveable, and almost magical demonstrations. The stage was covered with odd devices, equipment which represented years of careful experimenting and skillful construction. After the experiment Mr. Morris closed by reminding his audience that God is the primary factor and maker of all things, and that without His aid these marvelous inventions could not be made. Epworth League Gives Anniversary Program On Sunday, March 24th, the Epworth League under the direction of Miss Reams, had charge of the evening service at the Methodist church, at which time a splendid League Anniversary program was rendered. Quite a large number participated with inspiring talks and musical selections. Among those who brought special messages were Miss Bessie Morton, Caroline Allen, Ethel Ellen, Mildred Dillard, Frances Tarlton, Lottie DeBord, and Selma Reid Broome. Special musical numbers were rendered by Miss Georgia Belle Cooper, Misses Elise Hunter and Pauline McBane. Also a song was beautifully rendered by a group of smaller children. Mr. M. Q. Tuttle, Pastor, presided over the meeting. The -whole program given before a large audience was indeed inspirational and reflected very creditably the work that is being done by the League. Spring Enrollment Shows Students From Forty-Six Counties With the opening of the spring quarter and the beginning of spring there have come many new faces to the campus. Some of these students are not new in the truest sense of the word for they have just been in the teaching field for a while and are returning to continue their preparation. Ninety-two new students have entered this quarter, making the present enrollment 274. Both dormitories are practically filled with the girls, while the boys are being cared for in cottages near the campus and in private homes. A few more rooms are available in the dormitories for the last six weeks of the spring quarter which begins April 23rd. Students who are unable to get rooms in the dormitories will be cared for in desirable homes near the campus. Forty six North Carolina counties are represented at Cullowhee this quarter, Jackson county leading with 52 students while Haywood comes second with half as many, 26. Buncombe and Macon county tied with 17 students each. Cherokee follows closely with 16 and Swain with 15. Wake county has 11 representatives and Henderson has 10 students. The other counties represented are: Alamance, Cabarrus, Catawba, Clay, Columbus, Duplin, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Graham, Greene, Halifax, Harnett, Hoke, Iredell, Johnston, Madison, Martin, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Nash, New Hanover, Onslow, Pamlico, Perquimans, Polk, Robeson, Rockingham, Rowan, Sampson, Stanly, Surry, Transylvania, Union, Warren, Wayne, Wilkes. Three other states are represented with South Carolina leading with 27, Tennessee 1, and Georgia 2. Teacher Training Girls Organize Club The Teacher Training girls met recently and organized a club, which is to serve as a means of more "get- together" meetings, parties, and picnics. The girls who are members and the departments from which each came are: Georgia Bell Cooper, Salemburg; Frances Tarlton and Alliere Kenner- ly, China Grove; Virginia Spence, Alma Warren, and Mary Biggs, Lil- lington; Glee Garner, Dora Lee Garner, and Annie Grace Wilkes, Franklin, and Elsie Perry, Izma Riggs, Lu- cile Montague, and Pauline Clifton, Cary.

The play itself was very interesting and was made up of three acts, between which entertaining interludes were given. Beaman Kelley sang two solos and a quartet, consisting of Frank Battle, Joe Hays, Reese Holli- day, and Beaman Kelley, entertained the audience with two numbers also. The characters, Carrie Allen as Maud Meredith, Ethel Ellen as Elizabeth Hyndon, Elise Hunter as Bertha Ban- isdale, Selma Reid Broome as Louise (Continued on page 3)
