CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL
WINS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
BITCH'S VETERANS TOO STRONG
FOR CHAPEL HILL HIGH
ELEVEN
Fully 2,000 people saw Char
lotte decisively' defeat Chapel Hill
last Saturday in the final game for
the High School Championship,
36-0. While Charlotte was clear
ly the favorite 'before ihe game,
no one expected such a sweeping
victory. Chapel Hill had been
steadily improving, but were too
inexperienced for Coach Hitch's
seasoned veterans. ; .
"Chuck" Pharr proved himself
to he an able general and managed
the team like an old hand, besides
carrying the ball well. Most of
Charlotte's advances were made
around the ends. Aided by per
fect interference both Templeton
and Pharr were able to circle- the
, local flanks for. substantial gains.
Forward passes were a big fac
tor in aiding the Western attack,
Austin receiving one hehind the
goal line. '
Chapel Hill showed rather a
weak offensive , Tcnney was un
able to gain because of the loose
interference he was. given, the
Charlotte secondary defense tackl
ing cleanly and allowing but small
gains. The local team registered
only five first downs to 27 for
Charlotte. Toward the end of the
first half, Chapel. Hill seemed to
have almost secured a touchdown.
Sparrow caught the kickoff and ran J
it back to the 40-yard line." Chapel
Hill then for -the first time during
the half showeel real fight and fair
ly rushed the Western champions

GLEE CLUB ENDS A
WEEK OF ACTIVITY
Being inspired by the picked
beauties of the State, who were
attending the fall dances; the Glee
Club was able to cover itself with
glory on Friday night, when ;i
gave, its last concert before Xmai,
in Gerrard Hall. From the open-
nig chorus ' to the "grand finally"
each number was applauded with
the enthusiasm worthy of a
"Broadway Star." Hester express
'cd the universal feeling of the
club when he said, "Who could not
sing when he looks into the broad,
beaming countenances of so many
Old North State beauties whose
eyes seem to say, 'George you are
doing well and I'm for you'."
Luther Lashmit was again a.
star with his violin work, while J.
Earl Harris continued his good
work at the piano. The orchestra
and mandolin club were also out
standing features and received
more than their share of applause
not only here but wherever the
club played.
On Friday 8, the club was in
Salisbury where they played to a
small but appreciative audience.
After the concert they were given
a dance and showed every atten
tion which made the evening very
enjoyable to them.
On Saturday night the club
played before the State Normal
College to one of the largest au
diences that it ha3 ever played to.
UNIQUE FALL DANCES
NOW IN FULLSWAY
ENJOYABLE SUCCESS
FIRST DANCE GIVEN THURSDAY
NIGHT BY JUNIOR ORDER
GORGEN HEAD
This v week is one of the three
most eventful in the fall semester,
It is hard to .decide which is the
most momentous ; Thanksgiving,
the Dances or Christmas. There
seems to have been a sentiment in
favor of Thanksgiving heretofore,
but a change has been evident since
Thursday ; night. For then the
dances began. The first was given
by the Junior Order of Gorgon's
Head. . Frank Shamburger- was
the dance leader. Wilson Dalton
and Bruce Webb, assistants.
Friday night the German Club
gave 'its annual Fall hop with
Henry Stevens" leader, and Piggy
Parker and Priestly Conyers as
assistants.' .
Most of the week decoration
committees were at work fixing up
the gym with evergreens and fes
toons of bunting. A different de
coration scheme .will be followed
for each dance. While speaking
of decorations we might say thg.t

CAROLINA FOOTBALL TEAM
WILL PILOT TANDY'S FAMOUS
CREW NEXT FALL
Probably one of the most inter
esting questions in the minds of
the student body was decided last
Wednesday afternoon when the
captain of next years football team
was elected. Only two candidates
for the honor were named ; one be
ing a man who has worked faith
fully on the team for three years
and who may rightly be said to
have been one of the main stays in
the line; the other being raised to
a stellar position both as a football

MUSIC SERVICE AT
CHAPEL OF THE CROSS
Last Sunday afternoon, "The
Holy City," an oratorio by A.' R.
Gaul, was given at the Chapel of
The Cross by the regular choir 'and
Miss Harris, of Henderson, so
prano, and Mrs. Burdick, of Cha
pel Hill, contralto. " The Univer
sity orchestra played the accom
paniment.
The performance was very en
joyable and, in places, approached
the artistic. The chorus of twenty
voices showed a surprising amount
of volume and reflected much cre
dit on Mrs. Winston, the director,
by the precision and accuracy with
which they sang. "
Miss Harris, in solo work, sang
with much expression. The tones
of her upper register were very
clear and true, though her lower
notes were a trifle hoarse. "
The "Holy City" is one of the
most popular of the easier ora
torios. The words are' from the
Bible, hymns and Milton's "At a
Solemn Musick." The music is
comparatively simple though there
are a few elaborate contrapuntal
and antiphonal effects in the big
gest choruses. " For the most part
there is a pleasing melody through
out and in no place is the harmony
unpleasantly close.
The performance of this oratorio
is the first of a series of Sunday
af ternooh music services the choir
has planned. "
DRAMATIC CLUB PLAYS TO
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE
"OLD CRONIES," "THE. GLITTER
ING GATE" AND "FOOD" PRE
SENTED BY CLUB
The Little Theatre regime was
inaugurated on the Hill last Thur
day night when the Dramatic Club
gave three sketches, "Old Cron
ies,?' "The Glittering Gate,"' and
"Food."
In "Old ; Cronies" Wimberley
poses as Dr. Jacks, who is a suffer
er from Dictionary-making bac
teria, and Dumpy Green as Cap
tain' Pigeon, a middle-aged, blus
tering English squire, who is in
love with the money of Olivia
Jones, and desires to marry the
lady. But how to propose ? The
matter is settled by Dr. Jacks, and
a telegram is sent. The lady had,
however, accepted another lover in
the meantime, and Pigeon is mer
cifully permitted to remain a bach
elor. The sketch was played well,,
throwing the audience at times in
to roars. '.' 'r' :''?' 'ri: ;
"The Glittering Gate", of Hea
ven is assaulted by two deceased '
burglars, one of whom, imperson
ated by McClamrock, drinks beer
from empty bottles while the other ;
dip attacks the gate of gold with
a "can-opener." His efforts are
fruitless, ' and . the sketch closed
dramatically with them gazing at
the impenetrable wall. ,
Do you think "about posterity ?
Then do not eat so much, for soon
only billionaires will be able to
afford ' eggs. "Food," the last
sketch on the program, brought be
fore the audience the probable
scarcity of food in 1962. ' A sump-'
tuous supper of a cracker and a
glass of water diluted by a drop"

HAWAIIAN QUINTET WILL
PERFORM HERE TUESDAY
On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
Chapel Hill will receive the first
Hawaiian quintet that has ever
visited this part of the country.
This will be the first of the delight
ful entertainments to be given un-.
der the auspices of the Lyceum
Bureau of the Y. M. C. A.
Throughout the country, the
several Hawaiian troupes have ,
been creating wide excitement.
The talking machine companies
are finding it quite difficult to sup- '
ply the tremendous demand for
records of Hawaiian music. There-,
fore, it is doubtful if the South
will be entertained by a more pop- v
nlar number this .season than tho.
Waikiki Hawaiian Singers and
Players. .
A popular program will be ren
dered, including the song3 of Ha
waii sung in native tongue. The
company will appear in native
costume- " ...
This quintet was booked by the
Lyceum Bureau through the Alka- ,
hest System of Atlanta, an agency
widely known for the high type
of its feature attractions.
Tickets will go on sale at Eu
hanks' on Saturday.
