RETIRING EDITOR Thursday evening. May 16, the Rutherford College Glee Club and Merrymakers presented an inter esting music recital at the college auditorium. Songs sung by the Glee Club and Merrymakers, and the duets, solos, and the musical comedy made up a very interesting program. This program was bet ter and enjoyed more than any other local entertainment given here 'this year. Under the direc tion of Mrs. Crawford, who has done so much to promo-te the in terest in music and striven to de velop the music talent of the school, the Glee Club and Merry makers have experienced wonder ful progress.

Under the direc tion of Mrs. Crawford, Miss Usury was graduating from high school music. The program was render ed very succesifully, and the en tertainers showed b ytheir perfor- ance that they had progressed ex- mance that they had progressed ex- The soprano voice of Miss Craw ford and the reading of Miss Bern hardt gave the program a touch of perfection and made it so com pletely effective that a great crowd was delightfully entertained. Quite a crowd of people was interested in the graduation of Miss Usury who has so diligently and success- flly applied herself to the difficult task of mastering music. The most striking thing about the pro gram was not in the fact that she had memorized such a great num ber of pieces, but in the fact that she learned those of so great dif ferentiation in both time and key, Much credit is due Miss Usury for her work of excellency which she has rendered throughout ' her course in music. Edwin B. Hunt This is the energetic young man who who has been behind The Rectangle, and who, with his tire less efforts and marked originality, has made The Rectangle one of the features of the school this year, and has brought the paper to be recognized as the outstand ing Junior College paper ol the state. Hunt accepted the editor ship of |he paper just after the third number of the year came off the press, and since he took over the reins he has made many im provements, and additions to it that have made the paper far su perior to any previous year. Hunt, possesses a wonderful talent in newspaper work,as well as in near ly everything else he undertakes. His keen judgment in editing the Rectangle is seen in the fact that he not only has planned minutely the arrangement of all the materi al in the paper, but has written the headlines for each issue. Edwin h'ails from Davidson coun ty. He is a graduate of Reeds High school, ,and this year finish es the freshmen year of college ('Gontinued on second page) MINISTERIAL NEWS On Friday afternoon of May 24, the Ministerial Band held its last regular meeting of the school year of 1928-29.

TONI Mr. Kirby Heard Over Radio; Merry Makers Give Program. The Rutherford College Merry Makers gave a programme over station WRBU, at Gastonia. Sun day, May 19. One of the features of the program was the speech of Mr. A. J. Kirby, vice-presMent of the Board of Trustees of Ruther ford. Mr. Kirby’s speech is as fol lows; "Rutherford College, as many of you know, is located in Burke County about twelve miles west of Hickory in the foothills of North Carolina. As you stand on the campus and view the surrounding peaks, you are impressed as was the Psalmist of old, when he said, “I wll lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cornet^ my help.’ No stu4ent can stay at 'Ruther ford with these surroundings; and with its very ttne^ osident.

The program was a great success and was greatly enjoyed by the large audience which was composed almost en tirely of girls who heard the music and looked on with much interest. The program consisted of songs by the Glee Club, Quartette, and some solos, duets, and was con cluded by a musical comedy, which was rendered very successfully. As for mast of the boys, this was their first appearance before this audience of girls and were greatly delighted and almost bewildered because of the fact that they showed such in^rest in the pro gram. The whole audience seem ed to have been as-tonished by the performance of Messrs. Ormond, Hedgepeth, and Gibbs,' led by “Little Sammy” Goode. Some of the members of the audience ex pressed sentiment to the effect that they really enjoyed the pro gram and wished to hear another similar to it. When the program was over, the boys were conducted to a well de- (Conitinued on fifth page) SPORTS EDITOR W. Ralph Whitley Ralph is the wilde-awake, hustl ing youth who has piloted the Sports department of The Rectan gle this year with unparalelled success. He is a product of Pied mont Carolina, and a graduate of Kannapolis high school. This year he finishes his first year of college work. In editing the Sports Page, “Whit” has worked tirelessly and has given the best of cooperation to the editorial staff. He has made the Sports page one of the fea tures of The Rectangle. In fact, the Sports Page has been com mented upon by several critics as ranking alongsilde that of many of the four year colleges. Many times when others failed “Whit” was at his post. Many times when others were dfespondent his smile and good nature were valuable helps. Ralph is a friend to all the students and is one of the most popular students on the campus. He is just one of those fellows iwhom you can always depend up on. Proibaibly not a more ener getic and capable Siports Eliitor could have been found among the student body, and The Rectangle has been fortunate in having his services. “Whit” is a valuable young fellow and we are all hop ing he will be back next year. L RECEPTION IS GIVEN SENJ CLASSES Third and Fifth Year Classes Entertain Graduating Classes. GLEE CLUB NEWS The Glee Club met and chose a very capable set of officers for the coming school year. The men who were chosen hope, with the aid of those who become members, to nxake the next year’s Glee Club a greater success than that of this year. Fred Hedgepeth was elected President; Samuel Goode, Vice- Prseident; Rollin Gibbs, Secretary and Treasurer, and Bill Ormojid, General Manager. With the lead ership of these officers and the co operation of the students, the Glee Club of next year will very likely be able to surpass the fine record made this year. ^ On the evening of Monday, May 13, the Third and Fifth Year Classes conducted the two gradu ating clases into the beautifully decorated dining room of Burke Hall, and gave them a most de lightful reception. Well prepared punch and ice cream were served as refreshments and this was de-^ livered by angelic waters. Every one present had a delightful time and at once began to realize that the reception was a sign of thfc nearness to the end of the school year. The two graduating classes seemed to appreciate the kindness of the other classes who were giv ing the reception. As another means of enjoyment, many con tests were held, and many were puzzled over tie complexities whch were presented to them. When the time was up, a few words weii heard from each one' representing his respective class. The people left feeling that everyone had had a most delightful time and had en joyed the occasion to the highest degree.

The league during this school year has been a great success, and it has made much progress under the presidency of Mr. Harold Rwb- (Continued on fifth page)
