One of the most enjoyable and
outstanding events of our college
i'ear was the Junior-Senior Ban
quet, held at Battery Park Hotel
on the evening of February 22.
The room was made very attract
ive with George Washington
decorations. The scheme was
further carried out by having
‘cherry tree” place cards, mak
ing a v’ery pretty table.
Three delightful courses were
served and between them, the
guests were entertained with a
musical program. The program
was as follows:
Quartet, “The Georgia Lulla
by”—^Ruth Ledwell, Ruth Park
er, Mark Pridgen, and William
Winstead.
Vocal Solo—Lewis and Win
stead.
Piano Solo—William Zimmer
man.
The toastnifrster, Mr. George
Baier, who cairied out his part
in a most gracious way, welcom
ed the guests and introduced
each speaker in turn. Mr. De
Vaughan Boyles, president of the
Junior Class, expressed the
sentiment of the Juniors toward
Class gave a; reply, v/hich ended
with a toast to the Junipts.
The guesti were favoreli by a
very interesting talk by Dr.
Chappell, pastor of the- Central
Methodist Clurch of Asheville.
He plainly shewed his interest in
and his hopts for Weaver Col
lege. The last speaker was our
-president. Mi. C. H. Trowbridge,
who after expressing his appre
ciation of Dr. Chaopell’s talk and
his hopes for the Senior Class of
’27, dismissed us with prayer.

games of the season, the

tunately for Biltmore, fouled
out. Biltmore won, 22-lS. Al
len also fouled out and in all 13
fouls were called on Weaver.

Advice to Young People
We all need to learn the joy of
obedience.
As one thinks of the United
States, perhaps the first thing
that impresses itself upon the
mind is its strength. The
strength of its prairies, the depth
of its forest, the breadth of its
fields, the size of its cities, the
height of its “sky scrapers,” the
miles of its steel railroads, the
roar of its factories and foun
dries and printing presses—all
these things mean strength, said
a viTiter in the Christian Herald
a good many years ago.
With this glory of stveng-th
comes an accompanying peril. It
may be called the peril of self-
will. Strength is a dangerous
gift. If a young man or young
woman has it without having
with it good principles of honor
end kindness, he is dangerous.
So a great and strong nation
n ;eds to learn humility along
with its glory of strength. We
Hiust recognize that the business
of li^ ‘^^t to have om' own way
or

I obedience. It is not necessary to
I break rules and laws to have a
good time. Organizations like
the Camp Fire Girls and the Boy
Scouts are demonstrating how
much fun can be had in accord
ance with strict rules and regu
lations. The Scriptures t^ us it
is always better to'obey'than to-
sacrifice.
The church that wins—
Must be interested in young
people.
Must give young people some
thing to do.
Must aim high.
Must keep out of the ruts.
Must magnify individualism.
Must attempt large-size tasks.
Must send grumblers to the
rear.
Must acquire the hand-shak
ing habit.
Must be especially kind to the
poor.
Must build up a great mid
week meeting.
Must circulate inspiring re
ligious literature.
Must be delivered from selfish
localism.
Must do the Lord’s business in
business ways.
Since this is true, what kird
of a church would this church
be if every member were just
like me?
