“THE RAT”
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rat is
on the run again, discovering the
hide-outs of Cupid. As we open, we
hear that Misses O. Strong and R.
Hall are the song birds of the cam
pus.
* Jjt *
Miss D. Tyler is saying down with
Hitlerism. Watch your step, P.
Greene.
* * *
Old love never died, says Miss
Brett.
* * ♦
Watch out, girls. “Bow” Mills says
he is the hardest on the campus.
“Bow,” give the other boys a shot.
♦ ♦ *
The Rat visited the O. S. Carter
and found him talking to himself, or
maybe his brains were rattling.
* ♦
Miss N. Greene is with J. Samuels
again. Where is Tommy T.?
* ♦ *
The Rat wants to know what keeps
the freshman young ladies in during
social hour.
♦
We see you, C. Smith (the boy
from up north) loving one on campus
and one in the city—hard man.
* * !|t
R. Spaulding, when are you going
to stop wearing mourning? Is it that
you are third year in college or she
did not return this year?
♦ *
What are we going to do about
From Boston continuing to dance at
the College Inn?
★
Ira Brown, the football star from
Ohio, has a smooth line of “jive” for
all women. He hasn’t decided yet
what or who he wants, but the Rat
thinks that Martha Lewis (Dimples)
is tops. What about it, Mr. Brown?
* * *
We have actual proof that old love
never dies. Watch Duckwilder and
Bernice Brett. They come on.
★ ^
Make up your mind, Mr. Lewis,
of Rocky Mount, N. C., who shall
it be?
* ★ ♦
Despite the fact that the height of
Mr. Colbert enables him to look all
over the campus, he only has eyes for
Annie Frances Crawford.
* * *
Flash! Flash! The Rat has been
busy. It finds a freshman girl from
Reidsville, N. C., deeply in love with
the football hero, Dick Mack. Any
thing to it, Mr. Mack?
* aj s|s
Joe Robinson seems to be undecid
ed, but Aurelia Lucas already has her
mind made up.
Jjc * ★
No. 44 has a smooth line on the
football field, but he makes his touch
down with Marjorie Townes, of Ra
leigh, N. C.
* * *
What young lady on the campus
delights in breaking up happy cou
ples? Watch out, girls; she may try
for you next.
* * *
A certain sophomore young lady
had an unexpected guest Sunday
night from Boston. Anyway, she was
at his beck and call. Were you that
young lady?
* * *
B. Brett and Duckwilder are try
ing to make a go of it this year after
divorcing three times last year.

the girls and boys make when social
hour comes?

Reynolds, that cute little freshman,
has some new shoes?
3. Guess who goes to the Neigh
borhood Store twice a day!
4. Did you notice that several
young ladies had on new skirts at the
Bluefield game?
5. Who was the gentleman dressed

all women like and what does he have
that all women crave?
10. Does anyone know who that
“gripe” is that haunts the table where
no one wants him?
11. It is reputed that the freshman
girls are taking the day around the
campus as far as the men are con
cerned, but look out, freshman girls;
you can’t ever tell what the “P. C.’s”
are up to.
12. While V. E. was rejoicing over
State’s victory, her escort seemed to
be a bit worried as to the state o£ his
attire.
13. Who is the fellow who wishes
to see Eddie Graves at her leisure?

her.

N. Emel Jones is showing T. Stew

N. C. C.’s campus besides him, and
who stepped into Stewart’s shoes, but
a basketball star, Ennis—the campus
talk.
* * ♦
Coming from the dining hall a few

came to an agreement that C. Smith
would get the prize if any should be
given away.

Y. W. C. A. News
The Y. W. C. A. held its recogni
tion service in the music assembly on
Sunday, October 8, at 6 p.m. The
hushed, solemn service impressed
anew those old members who had
previously taken a part in it each
year and continued to awe them by
its quiet dignity. Seated Y-shaped,
many new members faced the candle-
lighted altar lost in rapt attention to
the well-arranged, well-timed, well-
ordered service.
At the close of the service, over
one hundred and ten members, new
and old, rose to pledge their support
in making this life possible to all peo
ple and to unite in the desire to real
ize full and creative life through a
growing knowledge of God. Adhering
to its customs, the Y. W. C. A. staff
served all present.
The Y. W. C. A. gladly welcomes
all young women who are in sympa
thy with its purpose.
You are needed! Mattie Laws.

The North Carolina College stu
dent Forum got off to a good start
on Wednesday, September 26, with
Mr. Earl T. Artis acting as chairman.
The meeting was opened with the
chairman’s welcome remarks. After
his remarks, he presented to the stu
dent body Professor C. L. Holmes,
founder of the Forum. Prof. Holmes
gave a brief historical sketch of the
Forum and advised all present to up
hold its principles and ideals and to
make it function in the capacity for
which it was intended.
On October 4, the members of the
Forum listened to an inspirational
talk by Dr. Heningburg, who spoke
on the subject, “Why did you come
to college?” Miss LaRuth Hall, a
freshman, thrilled the entire audience
with her singing of “If You Only
Knew.”
The meeting on October 11 was so
largely attended that many stood
around the walls of the music assem
bly. All indications from the start
pointed to the fact that the “N. C.
Spirit” was running high. After the
singing of our school song, “Dear Old
N. C. C.,” Coach Burghardt was pre
sented to the student body by the
chairman. Coach Burghardt gave a
report of the Lincoln-State game and
urged the students to play their part
of the game on the sidelines by keep
ing up the spirit. After several fiery
yells, the entire group lifted their
voices in singing, “Give Me That Old
N. C. Spirit.” Dean James T. Taylor
corroborated Coach Burghardt’s
statement concerning the Lincoln-
State game, and made a plea for full
cooperation in the future.
The Forum invites all students who
are interested in self-expression, dis
play of talent, and current discus
sions. This is a democratic organiza
tion. Will you come and bring an
other person with you?
Earl T. .Artis, Chairman,
The Student Forum.
“Lamps” Entertain
The opening of school this year
consisted of numerous affairs honor
ing the freshmen. One of the most
delightful entertainments was the
smoker given by the Lampodas Club
of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Prac
tically all freshman men and new stu
dents were present.
Immediately after entering the
gymnasium, the fellows were greeted
and were delighted with a program
given by the Lampodas Club mem
bers. Following this, the newly elect
ed officers were introduced. They are:
Brooklyn McMillan, president; Clar
ence Lightner, vice-president; Roland
L. Allison, secretary; Howard Fitts,

Our President
Dr. Shepard is our dear president;
No one knows what to us he’s meant.
He’s with us both day and night.
To help and guide us in the light;
For he doesn’t want us to stray
From his dear guidance any day.
And now he’s master of a school
Which cheerfully obeys his rule.
Though he is here every day.
Sometimes “the foxes” try to play;
But he is wise as well as true
And catches "foxes” old and new.
He knows that when the hunter’s
away.
The little “foxes” try to play;
But these “foxes” had better mind.
Or their hiding place he’ll find.
Now, to you. Dr. Shepard, whom we
love.
Your rules will ever be above.
Though sometimes we may seem to
stray.
We love your guidance more each
day.
And though we now seem frivolous.
The future will not all be thus.
And you will find in days to come
That what we did was all in fun.
Peggy Spaulding^ ’■i3.

turned home, but as homesick broth
ers or sisters who are thirsting for
the joys of North Carolina College do
the graduates return to their Alma
Mater. They long to see the improve
ments made since their last visits.
Seeking anew, they are the bountiful
treasures of brotherhood. The antic
ipations are great.
The present student body deems it
a pleasure to welcome the others back
home. They are preparing as best
they can to make this a most pleas
ant, a most glorious, an exceptionally
great homecoming. Very sincerely do
they welcome the alumni, the visitors,
the opponents, and all in general.
They are sure that the spirit of sin
cere welcome will entirely envelope
the North Carolina College campus.
They are planning to show the alum
ni and visitors what a success they
can make, what unity and spirit they
have, what achievement they are able
to accomplish.
Welcome alumni! Welcome visi
tors! Welcome all!
Phi Fraternity, introduced the basi-
leus, Charles E. Cobb, who gave the
new students a warm welcome and
greetings. The main speaker, Mr.
Day, of the N. C. Mutual Insurance
Company, brought greetings from the
graduate chapter and gave an inspi
rational talk on fraternity life, its
meaning, and benefits.
Appetizing refreshments were then
served. The honorees seemed to be
enjoying the occasion so immensely
that they were allowed to express
their sentiments.
When the end came, they returned
to their respective homes, having en
joyed a full evening of entertainment,
inspiration, good-will, sincerity, and
refreshments—all served only as sons
of Omega could serve.
