NOTED AUTHOR Swim Classes
SPEAKS HERE to Begin Soon
Monday, January 13, James
Street, author of The Gauntlet
and other popular fiction and
historical works, spoke to the
student body and administration
during the chapel period.
Mr. Street opened his remarks
by challenging the youth to
make a better world than the
generation before them had
made. Urging them not to fall
back entirely on the conserva
tism of their elders, he asserted
that conservatism in youth is
unhealthy. Peace, he said, can
never be attained until the entire
world can became characterized
by equality and freedom. He
defined equality as total equality,
not just social, economic, or
religious equality.
Turning to remarks about
books and his profession as a
writer, Street classified authors
in three groups: the artists, the
craftsmen, and the starving
writers. Being a writer of short
stories and “popular novels,”
the author classifies himself
among the craftsmen.
Popular writing, he main
tained, has become big business
because the public does not de
mand a higher form of litera
ture, but readily accepts the in
ferior as well. As long as the
public demands novels for
entertainment and light reading,
authors will continue to keep
in mind percentages and selling
qualities rather than the artists’
conception of literature.
Mrs. Street, wife of the
author, was in the audience.
The couple are now residing at
Chapel Hill.
Hilda Liles, swimming man
ager, announces that plans are
being completed for swimming
classes to begin about the first of
February. The proposed classes
will be held at the State College
pool. They will be held Tuesday
and Thursday night of each
week. The classes on Tuesday
night will be for beginners and
those on Thursday night will of
fer advanced swimming instruc
tions. Miss Phyllis Cunningham
will serve as instructor.
Students who are interested in
these classes may sign up on the
bulletin board in order that final
arrangements may be made for
transportation and class instruc
tions. Anyone desiring further
information should see Hilda
Liles. A definite announcement,
however, will be made in the
very near future.

FORUM — WHAT PRICE
How would you like a trip
to Chicago by Pullman with all
expenses paid, even to the tips?
How would you like to live for
several days in one of Chicago’s
largest and most luxurious ho
tels and attend banquets three
times a day? How would it feel
to be interviewed by Associated
Press, to have your picture ap
pear in papers all over North
Carolina, and to broadcast over
NBC? Wonderful, you say?
Well, all of this, and more, too,
happened to dark-haired, viva
cious Jean McLamb, Meredith
freshman from Sampson County,
near Clinton, North Carolina.
The trip to Chicago as a delegate
to the Twenty-Fourth National
i4-H Club Congress, December
1-6, was awarded Jean as a
I winner in 4-H Club contests in
I this state, and she was one of
I fourteen 4-H boys and girls who
I represented North Carolina at
the Congress.
Jean has been a 4-H Club
member for five years, and dur
ing this time she has carried
through several projects in
foods, clothing, and room im
provement. Food preparation,
including planning for meals,
cooking, and marketing, especial-

ly interested Jean, and she kept
records of everything she did
along this line. When her rec
ords were submitted this year
to the State 4-H contests, she
was picked as the State winner
in her special project, and as
such she was entitled to the
trip to Chicago with all expenses
paid.
The fourteen winners from
North Carolina, accompanied by
L. B. Harrell, state leader of
4-H Clubs, and Miss Ruby Pear
son, assistant leader, arrived in
Chicago on December 2. The
headquarters for the convention
were in the Stevens hotel, where
the delegates stayed. There
were between 1,200 and 2,000
representatives at the Congress
from forty-seven states and
seven different countries in
cluding several South Ameri
can countries, China, and Can
ada. The main topic for the
convention was “4-H Clubs in
a Changing World,” and the
different groups, made up of
representatives from separate
states, discussed various phases
of this topic for an hour each
day. On the last day of the Con
gress, a final debate was held
in which the most important
problems and their solutions
were discussed.
Since there was only an hour
of discussion each day, the dele
gates had plenty of time for
pleasure. They attended three
five-course banquets a day with
speeches and other entertain
ment following at Chicago’s
largest hotels. The two most
important speakers were Secre
tary of Agriculture Anderson
and the head of General Motors,
C. F. Kettering, while among
the entertainers were Olsen and
Johnson, Gene Autrey, and other
famous people. Orchestras
played during every meal, and
the company sponsoring the ban
quet usually presented the dele
gates with souvenirs such as
identification bracelets. One
evening there was a dance given
at the world’s largest ballroom,
the Aragon, with music by Ed
die Howard. The group also
were taken on sightseeing tours,
and they visited such places as
Marshall Field and the Museum
of Natural History. While in
Chicago, Jean was further hon
ored by being chosen as one
of four delegates from the United
States to speak to the Chicago
Kiwanis club, and she was also
interviewed over NBC.
A trip through the White
House and a visit with Senator
Hoey during a two-hour stop
over in Washington were the
climax of a perfect trip. As
Jean said, “I felt like a queen
for a week and it was wonder
ful!”
