December, 1922 THE MIDGET Pa^e 5 We Have Just Received— A Big Shipment oi Elgin Watches The latest styles in white and green gold. MAKE THIS STORE HEADQUARTERS FOR Gifts That Last” W. J. ROWLAND COMPANY THE CORNELIAN LITERARY SOCIETY That all the members of the Cor nelian L'terary Society are actively interested in its work has been sihown by the varied and interesting: pro grams. The eighth grade, 57 Etrong, sresd ly fell into line, bringing into the organization the “Fresh” vigor and enthus’asm of their colorful per sonalities—color not mentioned. The society, which is now in it£ eighth year, was formally ra-organ- ized in September. Louise Sargent, Lewis Kluttz, Ellen Huckabee, Mae Osborne, and Juanita Huneycutt were elected to fill the most import ant student offices, and Miss McLean consented to act as critic. Since the first meeting, the society hss heM others every two weeks. The programs have been varied. More interest has been taken in the de bates than in any other feature of the work. With ardor, we have delved into the ways and means of the sold er bonus. The question of trade school training versus high school for a boy who has only four years after having grammar school was hotly contested. We argued with great' gusto: “That it ain’t no crime to steal chickens.” After duo deliberation,on the part of the judge;, the decision in this famous chicken debate was rendered in favor of the negative, though the affirmative had the best arguments! In view of this dec’sion, the society hereby warns the general public to lock their chicken houses, praticularly on dark nights, lest their gentel slumbers be disturbed by the squawk, squawk of some fond mother hen grieving for a wayward young rooster! The above debate was a feature cf our “Negro Special” program, where each member was on the minstrel order. “Massa’s in de Cold, Cold Co-d Ground” brought a tear to the j eye and a sob to the voice. We I comforted only by the plaintive mel ody of “Sweet Chariot, Coming fer to Carry Me Home.” However, “Wa- term llion” gave us fresh courage and the strength of hope to “carry on” at least the next season! Meanwhile the subject for the triangular debate has already been announced, and work has begun by those trying out in the preliminary. The Cornelian, as well as the Wilson Society, has firmly resolved to make an even bet ter show'ng this year than last. On to Chapel Hill is our slogan. THE WILSON LITERARY SOCIETY. (Arthur L. Patterson.) The Wilson Literary Society met in the eighth grade room Friday aft ernoon, September 22, for the pur pose of electing new officers and providing ways and means of start ing off the work of the society. This being the first meeting there was no program. The following officers were elected: J. P. Sibley, presi dent; Edward Widenhouse, vice-prez- ident; Clarence Casper, secretary, and Arthur Harris, marshal. Since this meeting there have been several very interesting meetings, in which there were good debates. In these debates, the ones who take part discuss important questions, and thereby entertain and instruct their hearers, those who are granted the privilege of being members of our society. The Wilson Literary Society is Albeiiiarle Piwmbing Company J. E. GANTr, Pre:oriGtor. SANITARY PLUMBING AND HEATING Estimates Furnished Work Guaranteed. We Handle Standard Fixtures Only.
