MEREDITH IS HOSTESS
AT KIWANIS BANQUET
International Pres. Grossman In
troduced by Gov. Gardner
Jlereditli College diniug room
was tlie scene of tlie Annual:
Kiwanis banquet on Friday CTe-l
■ning, Novembei* 7. Governor
Gardner, , Internatiomil Presi
dent Grossman, Eugene New
som. of Durham, iiiiiiicdiate past
president of Rotary Internation
al, and Kao, Fulkerson, editorial
writer of tbe Kiwanis Magazine
were the spealcers of the occa
sion.
Governor Gardner, a meniber
of th? Slielby KiA^uiis Club, in
troduced the principal speaker
of the evening, President Ci'oss-
man. The subject of Mv. Cross-
man’s speech was “Kiwanis
Continues to Build.’' The first
part of lus speech dealt with the
continued and increased need
for sei-vice cluh activity, lie
said “The needed impvoveraents
in any community can be re-
!eived only by cobi)eration o£
the individuals of tliat com
raunity. Tliere wU be a need
for a service club as long as there
are comnninity needs,”
The second part of tbe address
was based on the national
slogan, ^‘Continue to Huild.”
“AVe arc building out of our own
lives into the lives of others and
it is the transfusion of effort
that brings happiness and joy to
the workers and permanence to
the work” is the opinion of 3lr.
Cross num.
The duties and opportunities
of the individual Kiwaulans
was the theme of the third and
last part of the address. Mr.
Crossmiui thinks that the re
sults obtained in the work was
shown by the efforts of the in
dividuals who take an active
part.

The Twig staff have not

more week.s. The student
body, as well as the statt’,
looks forward with the
keenest pleasure to these

new ideas and enthusiasm
to the make-up of the paper.
In the meantime, girls who
liave heen writing articles
are advised to watch The
Twig bulletin board for as

The scoops, that have

fact that thej-e are Fresh

on the quality of the
material printed which'
Freshmen wrote. Several
of them have had journal

The second of the 1030-31
series of faculty concerts at
Meredith College was presented
in the school auditorium Sunday
afternoon, November 9, by Jliss
Alverda liosel and Miss Martha
Galt. In this splendid program
two things particularly stood
out—!Miss liosel’s playing of the
Sanimartini “Sonata in G” and
Miss Galt’s playing of tour
pieces by Debusaey.
The ditticult Saiumartini
'cello sonata is a. fine example of
early Mghteenth Century cham
ber music—music of tlmt period
w'hen stringed instruments fivj^t
reached their perfected form,
and when many of the iinest
works for violin and ’cello were
written. It is characterized by
an intimacy which is its great
est attraction, but which by its
very nature stands in the w’ay
of its attaining great popularity
at a first hearing. Then, too,
the performer is handicapped
by the fact that in the case of the
’cello difficult technical passages
lack the brilliance and dramatic
efl'ect which similar passages
liave on the violin or piano. The
pei'former must win the audi
ence by music and not by pyro
technics.

FACULTY AND STUDENTS
AT HOME TO CONVENTION
A concert of gi-eat intere.st to '
all lovers of music is that to be
given by John Philip Sousa and
iiis band on Friday, November
34, at tlie audlt(u‘iu?n of
Broughton High School. This
internationally admired con
ductor ami composer is this
year making his thirty-eighth
annual tour Avith hi.s famous
hand; and liis two appearances
in Baleigh, matinee and niglit,
are greatly looked forward to.
Sousa, with his marches such
as “Stars and Stripes Foi-ever,”
“Semper Ful(;Iia,” and “Liberty
Bell,” has attained perhaps the
widest internatimal popularity
of any American musician of the
present diiy. His career as a
‘Iwndmaster had its beginning
when, at the age of seventeen, he
first became a conductor. He
was a band leader in the United
States Marine Corps from 18S0
to 1893, at the end of which time
lie became the director of the
band with which his najne and
reputation have been connected
for tbii'ty-cight years. ^Vith
this organization he has traveled
in Europe at various times and
has made several tours of the
woi-ld. So wide is Smisa’s
recognition thsit among the
honors which Ijav(! been ac-
coi-ded lum abroad are decora
tions by the 'A’ictorian Order,
England; l^alnis of the Aoade-
iiiy, and Officer of Public In
struction, France; C« r a n d
Diplojiia of Honor, Academy of
ilainut, Belgium.
Evidence of tlie esteem in
whirh this musii-ian is held is
