Orchestra Gives Skit
On Saturday night, April 18, the
orchestra presented a program in the
form of a skit written by Frances Go
forth, in the school auditorium to a
large audience.
The scene of the skit was laid in an
opening hotel. The characters were a
miscellaneous group of servants, the
proprietor and wife, and three guests.
Dr. Rozzelle with Us
Rev. C. E. Rozzelle, pastor of Main
Street Methodist Church in Gastonia,
is conducting the annual revival serv
ices at Brevard Methodist Church and
on the campus, which he began Sun
day evening, April 19, and will close
this coming Sunday at the evening
service.
Mr. Rozzelle has greatly attracted
the members of the student body in
assembly and church services each
day this week. His messages are of
a vital nature and deal with the gen
eral principles of life. Mr. Rozzelle
has spent eleven years on college
campuses, both as a student and a sa
minister.
Mr. Rozzelle used for his subject
in the Monday assembly sermon, “It’s
a Matter of Honor’’, on Tuesday,
“Boomerangs”, on Wednesday, “A
Study in Contrasts, or What I Saw in
Europe”; on Thursday, “Life in Two
Dimensions”. He will advise the en
tire student body this morning to
“Start Where you Stand” and will
address the young men only tomorrow,
using as his subject “Jesus and the
Next Generation”.
Mr. Cathey Honored
with Birthday Party
Wednesday evening, April 15, Pro
fessor Cathey was given a surprise
party by Mrs. Cathey at their home in
celebration of his birthday. Guests
for the occassion were President and
Mrs. E. J. Coltrane and Mr. J. A. Car
lisle.
It is said that Mr. Cathey noted that
Mrs. Cathey was doing more cooking
and fixing than she ordinarily does
during the day, but he did not realize
what was taking place until all the
guests had arrived. In other words,
this was really a surprise party. When
this went to press, neither Mr. nor
Mrs. Cathey would tell his age, but we
are tempted to say that he is not as
old as he appears to be.
Labor Students Enjoy
Outing
Last Saturday afternoon, April 18,
the labor students of the college en
joyed a hike and picnic to Camp Sap
phire, which is located a few miles
from the college. The group left the
campus about four o’clock and stayed
approximately three hours. After
hiking out to the camp the hikers
spent the time in walking around the
lake or in doing other things of inter
est, and later in the evening they
gathered together and ate supper
which consisted of roasted weiners
and accessories. They then returned
to the college just as it was beginning
to get dark. This outing was work
ed up by Mr. Colvard, who is in charge
of the self-help, and Lloyd Parks, as
well as other students. The group
was chaperoned by several members
of the faculty who were extended
invitations.
Work On Grounds
Started
During the past week much work
has been started in the way of improv
ing the grounds around the buildings
here on the campus. Mr. Colvard with
the help of several of the students has
begun work here which deserves much
commendation. They have planted
shrubs around the various buildings
and their entrances; bare spots in the
lawns have been replanted; “Keep Off
the Grass” signs have been located in
the most-needed places; walks have
been prepared; and the lawns have
been mowed for the first time this
spring. In other words, we are having
a general spring clean-up on the camp
us. It is hoped that everyone will
observe the signs and stop cutting
across the grass, thus giving the new
grass and shrubs a chance to grow.

early, but most people just get up.”

never than late. ”
