Glee Club To End
Successful Year
Commencement
Have Visited Manv Towns
In Eastern Carolina
As the end of the school year
draws near, the Glee Club com
pletes one of the most successful
years in its history. Under the
direction of Prof. John W. Fon
taine the organization has won the
approval of every community it
has visited.
The members are proved to be
s part of an organization that is
outstanding and is an asset to the
•chool it represents. The Glee
Club acts as a publicity agent for
the college. Everywhere it goes,
young people are interested and
attracted by the opportunities af
forded by the college. The Glee
Club also aids in the worship ser-
vices of the various churches
throughout the state. Often the
entire group of twenty voices is
presented in a full concert. At
other times the quartet, composed
of four of the members, attend a
church where the entire Glee
Club could not go.
The Glee Club began its work
hy singing at the State Convention
of the Christian Church last
November in Washington. This
•pring it opened with a program
in Kinston. This was followed by
concerts in Wendell, Raleigh.
Whitakers, Roanoke Rapids, Wil-
liftmston and Robersonville. The
Greeted at the door by president
Selma Arner of the Junior Class,
members of the Junior and Senior
Classes of Atlantic Christian Col
lege were ushered into the beau, i
tifully decorated Carolina Room of j
the Christian Church. Thia was,
the scene of the 20th aoniml Ju-.

'Fhe Carolina Room aiade an at
tractive setting for the lovely
girls in their colorful frocks and
beautifully coiffured hair. Mem-1
bers of the Junior Class had com-1
pletely transformed the room with
irises, roses, ivy, sweet peas, and
other spring flowers
Selma Amer presided over the
affair. Eugene Ogrodowski, pres
ident of the departing Senior
Class, responded to Miss Amer’s
welcome and expressed the appre
ciation and also the regret of the
Seniors at this, their final Junior-
Senior banquet.
Jessie Wilson Daniel, a member
of the boastful Junior C\slh», gave
a toast to the Sophomores. John
K. Wooten, Sophomore president,
evoked quite a. few laughs by his
witty response. The honor of
toasting the lowly Freshmen was
bestowed upon a Junior, Ellis Wil
liamson. President Churchwell
Stallings of the Freshman class
ably defended the youngsters in
his response. The final toast w’as a
toast to the Alma Mater given by
Elmer Mottem of the J unior
Class, and was responded to by
Dr. Sadie Jenkins, head of the
English department.
Throughout the evening other
entertainment was furnished by a
very able group. Mr. Olin Win
stead, a well-known local singer,
gave a beautiful rendition of “The
Lonesome Road.” Miss Alberta
Carr, soothed the excited nerves
with several old «nd new popular
songs. And to keep the feet tap
ping Mrs, Bell Ilinnant s Dancing
School was on hand with the latest
versions of the “Little Apple and
the “Shag.”
To complete an evening of per
fect enjoyment, Miss Amer intro
duced Mr. Gary Fulghum, local
postmaster, as the Speaker of the
evening. Mr. Fulghum gave a
brief, but very interesting talk on
the 3 W’s of Love. The 3 Ws
were—Love—W'^ho you are; what
you are; and where you are.
When the banquet was over, the
Seniors left with a sad heart, re
alizing that this was their last
banquet. The Juniors felt a bit
sorry for the Seniors, but other
wise they were as happy as could
be expected, for they realized that
the banquet had been a very suc
cessful one.

schools. So they decidcd on the

Bt’cause of keen interest shown
in the panel discussions held dur

students and the faculty decided
to hold more of tbaaa discussions
in ciiapel with the students par

The first discussion waa on tha
oftan-discussed topic: Why Go to
Church t Prof. Jarman, one of
the Bible instructors In the col
lege, presided over the program.
His helpers, Isabell Williama,
Chester Johnson, Susan Alice
Waller and Elmer Mottem,
brought out some very plausible
reasons.
Soma of the reasons given and
discusaed by the audience were;
education values, leadership of
fered, especially to the younger
groups, aocial preatige, and laat,
religion aa the cradle of clriliza-
tion.
During this disctusion, the ques
tion of why more girls attend
church than boys -waa brought up.
In my opinion the moat plauaibla
reason given was that girla are
required to attend church at least
once each Sunday.
The next in this aeries of dls-
