Miss Fuller
Gives Recital
Miss Betsy Jane Fuller,
Soprano, accompanied by Miss
Abbie Catherine Miller, gave
a recital on November 10, in
the E. B. Hamrick auditor
ium.
Miss Fuller’s first group in
cluded Care Selve—“Allanta”
by Handel; Eaben, ne andra
Lontano—“La Wolly” by Ca-
talani; mon petite couer sou-
pire by Shumann; and Vissi
d’Are—‘Tosed” by Puccini.
Miss Miller played Noc
turne in B Flat Minor and
Etudo in C Sharp Minor, both
by Chopin.
Miss Fuller’s next group in-
_eluded: “My Lover, He comes
on the Skee” by Clough-
Leighter; “The Rose Enslaves
the Nightingale” by Rimsky-
Korsakow, “Villanille” ny
Dell’ Aequo in the last group;
and as an encore she sang
“If I gave you a Rose,” which
she dedicated to her mother,
who was here for the occa-
K. K. L. Society
“K. K. L. you’re a grand
old society”. With these
words the K. L.’s began what
tney hoped will be the year
01 years in the history of
their society.
Of course the first object
in mind was soliciting for
new members from the
P’reshman class, this was
done with great enthusiasm,
with the very helpful gui
dance of our sponsor. Miss
Wray.
Great was the interest that
was aroused in the society
when the softball games be
tween the two societies were
begun.
One of the most interesting
programs we have had this
year was the “Patriotic Pro
gram” presented at the reg
ular meeting of the society on
November 9. Various read
ings and poems were given,
then there was a “musical
quiz” of patriotic songs. Aft
er singing a few songs togeth
er we adjourned to our rooms
where we once again went
into the wonderful chamber
of study.
As far as we can see in the
too near future there ‘ are
numerous plans in store.
The officers are as follows:
President, Lucille Cash; vice-
president, Ellwanda Scruggs;
secretary, Pauline Schook;
treasurer, Ruth Ware; report
er, Coleen Talbert.
Sophomore Hi-Lights
Although Sophomores, I
have been told, stand for “so
phisticated fools,” I beg to
disagree. For now we are the
upperclassmen of Gardner-
Webb. Starting the year off
kith a “bang” we had our
first meeting on October 10,
in order to elect new officers
and discuss plans for the
year. The officers were elect
ed as follows:
President—J. T. Jones, Jr.
Vice-President—Ellawanda
Scruggs
Secretary—Coleen Talbert
Treasurer — Elizabeth
Seism
The first big event of the
year discussed was “initiation
day.” The next meeting of
the sophomore class was held
on November 29. At this meet
ing sophomore plans for the
annual were discussed. We
elected the historian, prophet
and testator as follows:
Historian—Margaret Wa-
caster
Prophet—Sam Greene
Testator ■— Margaret Ro
berts
The deadline was set for
the time the sophomores
would hand in the offices held
last year and this year.
Alumni Association
The work of the Alumni
Asociation goes forward
under the able leadership of
Felix Hamrick, secretary.
Hundreds of letters have
been written to former stu
dents giving them informa
tion concerning the plans for
expansion and other items of
interest about the college. The
association is endeavoring to
raise $10,000.00 for a dining
room addition to the memory
of Mrs. Lillian Ritch for many
year connected with the
school.
Alumni chapters are in pro
cess of organization in sever
al communities. The alumni
represents our greatest source
of good will. Everywhere in
this section, men and women
of highest character, leaders,
homemakers, executives, pas
tors, deacons, teachers and
farmers are products in some
degree of Gardner-Webb Col
lege. We lean heavily on them
to send their sons and daugh
ters to us and to use their in
fluence to build even a greater
college for Christian educa
tion.
Athenean Rhamsaeur
Literary Society
The first meeting was held
on September 28. Plans were
discussed for welcoming new
members and for the chapel
program for the purpose of
publicity.
The campaign was built
around the song, “Swinging
on A Star.” One poster that
laught the eye of every stu
dent on the campus had a
star representing the society
wich a picture of members of
che society swinging on the
rays.
Early in the fall, the A. R.’s
sponsored a chapel program
xor the purpose of welcoming
xreshmen to the college and
cO the A. R. society.
The second meeting was
i^eid on October 12. It was a
iimoical program. Bob Beason
presided as master of cere-
laonies. i'hose taking part in
uue program were: Sam
ijreene, dr., Evelyn Harrill,

meeting was held to elect
Ireshmen to offices that had
been left open for that pur
pose. The president and sec
retary were elected last year.

The A. R.’s met again on
November 30. After the busi
ness session some members
of the society gave a comedy
entitled, “Filbert Saves the
Day.” At the opening of the
program Sam Greene, Jr.
sang “Night and Day”, and
“Smoke Gets in your Eyes”,
he was accompanied at the
piano by Miss Patricia Sum
ner. The program was con
cluded with a duet played by
Misses Thelma Autrey and
Lucille Hemphill. Misses Au
trey and Hemphill played a
melody of three popular songs.
The songs were, “Night and
Day”, “Anchors Aweigh”,
and “The Army Air Corps.”
