  • ®\t Citlintttljw faM Vol. VI A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Cullowhee, North Carolina, April 15, 1929 Cullowhee To Have New Baptist Church A pushing drive is being made now to build at Cullowhee a new Baptist Church, and many people from all over Western North Carolina are encouraging the enterprise with their assistance. The Board of Trustees of the Normal has donated more than half an acre to the lot as a site for the new church and the Baptist State Mission Board has agreed that if the community will give five thousand dollars, together with the cost of furnishings, the Board itself will give twenty thousand dollars, making a total cost of about thirty thousand dollars for the church. This means the Baptist State Board is proposing to give four dollars for every dollar raised locally to a maximum of twenty thousand dollars. The church will be made of brick veneer and will contain twenty-five rooms. The Sunday School department will accommodate three hundred young people of the community and of the Normal; whereas the auditorium will seat five hundred. It is hoped that the building will be ready for use by fall, though not entirely completed. them more than ever before. °f the Scene on Tennis Court. Lyceum Given by Harmony Male Quartet On Monday evening, April 1, the faculty, students, and visitors were delightfully entertained by one of our former teachers, Miss Daisy Franklin Mid her male quartet, who came under the auspices of the Piedmont Lyceum Bureau. The auditorium was filled, as those who had heard this group sing last year were eager to hear it again, and those who had not heard many expressions concerning the singers; "•ey, too, were therefore, eagerly waiting for the entertainment to begin. The first selection, "Way Down Home" showed the audience that the ■|m?ers and Miss Franklin felt at h°me in Cullowhee. Several of the following numbers were familiar 'om?s, but they were rendered in a *ay that made every listener enjoy Tennis Season at Cullowhee Opens With Lively Interest Tennis Tournament To Be Feature of Spring Activities. With the coming of spring, outdoor recreational activities have received a decided impetus. These activities include hiking, croquet, baseball and tennis. Perhaps the most popular of all these is tennis. Two courts have been put in condition for play, and there are not many minutes in the day when they are not being used. The demands for tennis is so great that more courts will probably be made. An intra-mural tennis tournament will be held sometime in May. This tournament will include singles and doubles for both girls and boys. That there is splendid tennis material at Cullowhee this spring, has all ready been shown in the short time that has been devoted to it. It is to be hoped that hard surfaced courts may be secured at Cullowhee in the near future. This would make it possible for the tennis courts to be in use even on rainy days. With the courts which we have now, we must not only wait for the rain to stop, but for the ground to dry after the rain Cullowhee Engages In Two Triangle Debates On Friday evening, April 5th, the first of the two triangular debates was held between Western Carolina Teachers' College, Appalachian Teachers' College and Weaver College, at which time the boys' teams represented the respective schools. Cullowhee's affirmative team consisting of Joe Hays and Beaman Kelley took a local victory of 2 to 1 over Boone's negative team, composed of Oswald Hooper arid Glen Hickman, while our negative team represented by Reece Hol- laday and Atley Hunter lost to Weaver's affirmative team at Weaver College. The local judges consisted of Hon. Dan Moore, Prof. V. E. Wes- singer, and Miss Eleanor Ormond, of Sylva. The girls' teams debating Saturday evening, April 6th, were less successful in that they lost to their opponents both at home and at Boone. Cullowhee's affirmative team consisting of Misses Elizabeth Griffin and Kathleen Estridge were met by Misses Ernestine Fincher and Bernice Avett of Weaver College, while Misses Ver- nell Coley and Alice Jones upheld the negative for Cullowhee against Boone's affirmative team at Boone. The local judges for the girls' debate were Messrs. Chester Scott and N. R. Prickett of Sylva, and Hon. W. H. Smith of Johns Creek. The query for both debates was: Resolved, That North Carolina should levy a State ad valorem tax on real and personal property to aid in the support of a minimum eight months school term. Both debating teams were under the able direction of Prof. E. H. Stillwell. We have all heard that "variety is ™ spice of life." This program cer- *"% furnished variety, and who, of . Se ''stening, did not enjoy it and eel that it was "the spice of life"? WSides giving the many beautiful 0cal. selections, the quartet played violin, mandolin, and banjo. Some numbers were serious, and °We were very humorous; some ere fo'k songs, and some were ne- ™ spirituals. Miss Franklin accom- panied most of the vocal selections.

Due to a short rest since the close of basketball, the Yodelers were craving action and came out for practice full of pep and enthusiasm. From the showing made in the first days of practice, a winning team should be developed. The schedule will be completed in a few days. Games are being arranged with all the strong teams m thilScertnof -rkmen have been viking to get the field in shape tor ^oTe'Tf the promising candidates (Continued on page 3) Methodist Church Holds Revival Rev. H. E. Powell, pastor of Methodist church, Murphy, N. C, held a series of evangelistic services at the Cullowhee Methodist church during the first week of April. The services were enjoyed by everyone, and the Normal School students especially took advantages of them. Mr. Powell, who has been pastor of Murphy Methodist church for the past three years, is a very interesting man and is doing a great work in the promotion of Christianity among the young people. One Hundred Twenty Juniors to Sing Is anyone wondering about the "do me-sos" coming from the auditorium each Thursday at four-thirty? Of course, the Juniors know all about it. but do the Seniors? It is this. The Juniors Class in Music Theory is planning to present, as a project growing out of their sight reading classes, a program which will be given during commencement week. Plans have been made with the faculty committee on commencement plans, and it has been arranged that this program of music shall be rendered as a sacred concert on Sunday evening of commencement week. The concert will be given in the open air theater. The Junior Class will be assisted by soloists, a double male quartette, a trio, a ladies' sextette, and the faculty quartette. -; The following choruses are. being prepared by one hundred and twenty (Continued on page 3)
