  • 5tlj? (Eull0u%£ f 0M A Neighborly Call from the Hills to Kindred Spirits Everywhere Western Carolina Teachers College, Cullowhee, N. C, April 1, 1930 Dr. White to Deliver Commencement Address Dr. John E. White, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Savannah, Georgia, has been engaged as the speaker for the commencement exercises to be held Wednesday, June 4th, in the college auditorium, according to president H. T. Hunter. Dr. Jones is a very outstanding citizen and has during his career been successful as an author, preacher, teacher, and lecturer. He was graduated from Wake Forest College in 1892 and afterwards received his D. D. from the same college in 1910. In 1892 he married Effie L. Guest, a sister of Mrs. J. R. Nisbet, who is a member of the June class. From 1901 until 1916 he was pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Since that time he has been president of Anderson College, Anderson, South Carolina. He is at present pastor of the First Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga. Dr. White is the author of "My Old Confederates," "Southern Highlanders," and several other books which might well be mentioned, and the college authorities are to be complimented on securing such an able man for the commencement literary address. Fountain and Memorial Tablet to Prof. Madison, Spring Quarter Brings Founder of School, Planned by Alumni Committee Increased Enrollment June Seniors Vote For Class Gift to College The June Senior Class of 1930 in a meeting with the class sponsor, Miss Mary Hope Westbrook, held in the Erosophian Society Hall, Monday evening, March 24, voted unanimously to give the traditional gift to the college. The matter of the type of gift was referred to a committee composed of Carrie Gibson, Sophia Buckner, and Mary Fisher Crumpler. To help raise funds for the purchase the class voted to give a play, the arrangement of which was placed in the hands of a committee of Blanche Ledford, Dorothy Goode, and Marion Stewart. The class also voted on the class colors and flower, and referred the choosing of a motto to a committee of Ethel Ellen, Mildred Starnes, and Gladys Tweed. The president appointed other committees for other types of work for the class: Invitations and cards, Mrs. Nesbet, Bessie Morton, and Ruby Griffin. The members of Bessie Morton's and Ruby Griffin's tables recently enjoyed picnic suppers to a spot on the river between Cullowhee and East La- Porte. Those of the first mentioned table went Thursday, March 20, and the latter Tuesday, March 25. Weiners, pickles, cheese, coffee, and marshmallows were enjoyed by all present. Mrs. Posey, Miss Westbrook, and Miss Benton acted as chaperones. Plans for Work to be Started in Near Future Several years ago the Alumni of the College undertook to raise some money to erect some sort of fitting memorial to Professor R. L. Madison, founder of the institution. Among other suggestions for the memorial at the time was an arch or gate at the entrance to the campus. The possibility, however, that the State highway through the campus might be relocated made the erection of any permanent marker at the present entrance inadvisable. At the annual meeting of the Alumni in June, 1929, a supplementary idea as to a memorial was introduced: namely, that some sort of marker be placed at the site of the original wooden building which for a time constituted all the buildings of what is now Western Carolina Teachers College. This old wooden structure stood near the present heating plant. The Alumni decided to combine the two ideas and to have one memorial only; and appointed a committee which was authorized to select the type of memorial, determine its location, and to provide for its installation or construction. The committee as appointed by the Alumni presi- (Continued on page 3) Miss Camp Represents Cullowhee at N.C.E.A. Miss Cordelia Camp, director of the local training school, attended the forty-sixth annual session of the North Carolina Education Association held in Raleigh from March 20th through 22nd. Miss Camp, who is on the Teachers Placement Committee for Western Carolina Teachers College, held interviews with several superintendents of the state with the view of placing local graduates. The program for this session of the North Carolina Education Association was very interesting due to the fact that the following noted men spoke: Dr. Harold Rugg, professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University; Dr. Hughes Mearns, professor of Education, New York University; Dr. F. P. Gaines, former president of Wake Forest, but who has resigned to accept a position with Washington and Lee University; Dr. A. T. Allen, State Superintendent of Public Institution; and Dr. E. C. Brooks, President of North Carolina State College. Phys. Ed. Class Gives Program for Sylva Club Miss A. Benton, director of physical education at Western Carolina Teachers College took twelve girls and a pianist to Sylva on Monday, March 24, to give a folk dancing program before the Woman's Federated Club of Sylva. Miss Benton gave a talk on "The Dance in Education" and short descriptions of the dances as they were given by the girls. The Sylva public school children attended the program by invitation of the club ladies. The dances given were: Bleking (Swedish), Shoemakers Dance (Danish), Norwegian Mountain March, Children's Polka (German), Indian War Dance (American Indian), We Won't Go Home 'Til Morning (an American country dance), and Old Rustic (old English.) The club furnished transportation and several delicious refreshments at the end of the program. The following girls went: Margaret Duckworth, Bernice Benton, Lucy Williams, Carrie Gibson, Irma Anderson, Vera Jones, Thelma Ray, Opal Ferguson, Kathleen McCracken, Ada B. Trotter, Clara McGuire, and Blanche Ledford, pianist. Erosophian Society Elects New Officers The Erosophian Literary Society met March 22, in a regular meeting for the purpose of electing officers for the spring quarter. After a short inspirational talk given by the critic, Miss Mary Hope Westbrook, the following officers were elected: president, Elmon Teague, secretary, Vivian Thomas; treasurer, Mary Dare Haithcock; censor. Clyde Bowman; chaplain, Bessie Warren; critic, Mary Hope Westbrook. The activities of the society for this quarter will be centered around preparation for "Society Night" which is to be given during commencement; however, regular weekly programs will be presented, according to those in charge. Columbians Have New Officers For Spring The Columbian Literary Society met Saturday, March 22, for the purpose of electing new officers. After a report from the nominating committee the following officers were elected: president, Eva Smith; vice- president, Lucile Vaughn; secretary, Ethel Ellen; treasurer, Martha Pearl Cunningham; censor, Mildred Starnes; critic, Miss Alice Benton. The retiring officers have shown much interest in the society and have worked with the program committee in selecting special topics for discussion. Several plays were given during the regular program of the quarter. A total of 90 new students have at the present writing registered for the spring quarter, bringing the total registration for this session to date up to 322. A few more are expected to enter before the two weeks limit for late registration is up. Although there was a slight fall-off in registration in the fall quarter compared with the previous session, it now seems certain that this year's registration will exceed that of any previous year. The present indications are that an unusually large number of students will enter for thelast six weeks of the spring quarter. It is expected that the total enrollment for the session will reach 400 at least. One thing noticeable about this year's registration is the increase in the number of men. Already the number of men students has reached 54, which is by far the largest number of men in the student body since the elimination of the high school department. In fact, the number of men students of college grade during the time the high school department was under the college was never more than one-third to one-half the present number of men. In other words, the college men students have increased nearly two hundred percent within three years. Due to the fact that the young men now have a dormitory instead of having to room or board wherever they could find a place, our athletics are thoroughly established and winning its laurels, together with the fact that the college begins this fall to train high school teachers as well as elementary teachers and also will be granting degrees, shows that the number of men students will continue to grow at Cullowhee. When the new dormitory is completed, the College can take care of 120 more young women, and if signs do not fail, it will have that many additional students in the very near future. Miss Braswell Presents Four Pupils In Recital Four advanced piano pupils, Francis Brown, Ada Trotter, Gladys Tweed, and George Carpenter, were presented by their teacher, Miss Lona Bill Braswell, in a recital, Friday evening at eight o'clock in the parlor of Moore Dormitory. The outstanding number was a duo played by Francis Brown with Miss Braswell at the second piano. The program which was open to the general public was as follows: Haydn's Sonata in G, played by Francis Brown; Grieg's Papillon. Gladys Tweed; Mozart's Sonata III with arrangement for second piano by Grieg, nlayed by Francis Brown and Miss Braswell; MacDowell's To The Sea. and Song, Ada Trotter; Prelude by Chopin and Dett's Juba Dance were played by George Carpenter.
