Ten numbers were presented by eleven students, all of which refiected credit in no small degree on tier whose ability and patience made the evening jiossible. Of the instrumental numbers. >'iss Katli- leen Brothel's, of Sutiolk, Va., with “Pier rot” by Seybold, apjieared to the best ad vantage, while ^ iss MoLeary, also of Suf folk, rendered the secondo of the Poet and Peasant overture in a manner highly cred itable to herself and playing partner. Mr. Franks, as will be seen by reference to the full I'rogram printed below, was plain ly in a cla.-^s by himself. Miss Barnes may well feel satisfied with the results of the evening and incidentally the authorities might note that the stand ard of this department is steadily ndvanc- ing.

The matter presented was all interesting and decisions in some cases were exc*eediiig'ly close, so much so that the final ballot showed all to ha\e I’.een voted tor and the highest vote registered by any individual to be only six abo\e tlie lowest. However, this same vote gave the six coveted places to four ladies and two gen tlemen a.s follows; Miss Virgie Beale, Windsor, Va. Subject: The Living Structure. Miss Pearl Tnck, Virgilina, Va. Subject: He Can Who Thinks He Can. Mr. D. T. Surratt, .Jackson Hill, N. C. Subject: Scholarship a Training for Service. Miss Pearl Fogleman. Burlington, N. C. Subject: The Badge of Jnferioi'ity.

GHADKI) SCHOOL CJ.OSKS liUSV AND 1‘ROKITABUK YEAR IIROUGHT TO A CLOSE Vacation has at last smiled on the grad ed school pupils of the village and the innocent feet once lined up to recite in either “Readin’, ’Kiting or ‘Rithme- tic” are now roaming the grassy meadow in airy childish glee. The season past has been an e.xcellent one. With Miss Circe Coble as principal and her able and loyal cori^s of assistants there has been main tained a standard of excellence both in deportment and in work of which the pa trons may feel justly proud. A most pleasant one from every ))oint of view, this year has passed as but a brief few weeks, showing the speed of time to those \\'ho are really busy and in terested ill their work. During the ses sion the school has moved from the old wooden structure to a modern two-stor\’, substantial brick structure where ample light, room and ventilation are to be had and modernness of equipment, both as to blackboard accommodations and seating facilities. Onr pulilic school is one of the most progressive and enterprising enterprises, hence we announce these improvements and its advancement with pleasure and pride. Miss Coble is now conducting a sub- scrijition school to run several weeks long er than the regular term which is being largely attended. Don’t say, “Oh, it’s only a cold.” The cemeteries are full of people who will never say that again. “QUID NUXCf” AS IT REALLY HAPPENED By His Observant Highness, Quiniiah Potter On the afternoon of Tuesday, A[)ril 15, 1913, the Quid Nunc Club met and was called to order promptly at 3:15 o’clock by its president. Miss Beatrice Maso.i. After the roll call and a prayer by the chaplain the following program was read by the secretary: Miss Beatrice Mason—The Peterborough Chronicle. Miss Blanche Newman—Vanity Fair. Miss lone McCauley—Nuns May Keep no Beast but a Cat. Miss I^attie Preston— Hilpah and Shalum. Miss Onia Utley—A Modest Proposal. Miss Annie Gregory—Life of Carlyle. Miss Ruth Hall—The Art of Cony Catcli- ing. Miss Jessie Dawson—Life of Richard Hooker. The first number on the program. The Peterborough ('hronicle, by Miss Beatrice Mason, was tine and showed that .she had done much research work. She told of how tlie Knglish people were treated in the years Ii:i0-ll(j0—how they were cast in prison with toads and adders and spiders, etc., and were left there to starve and to die. “But,” said she, “still that is not as bad as the women of the jjrosent day are Why. if they v, ant to ha\'C •feller' they have to keep smiling at him all the time and if he goes out of their sight for a short time, he is lost to them forever; for exam))le, I had a ‘feller’ here last year, Mr. .1. S. Truitt by name, and now that he graduated last year and has left school 1 hear no more from him and 1 base to smile at about twenty boys to be able to get one for a ‘feller.’ ” The next item. Vanity Fair, was a fine criticism on Thackeray's novel and in the discussion of it, Miss Newman said: “Girls, do not smile at the boys as Miss Mason does, but just look like you think they are the most abominable creatures on the face of the earth and then they will be glad to get the company of such angelic creatures as ourselves and all us girls will have.‘tel lers.’ ” a: iss Tone McCauley next gave a good summary of Ricliard Rolle’s “Nuns May Keep no Beast but a Cat.” In this she said that she thought Miss Mason and Miss Newman both had a very wrong view of life. She said that accoding to Rolle. young ladies should have no beasts ex cept cats and that ^he thought that Miss Mason and Miss Newman should let “fel lers” alone. Miss Pattie Preston said in her synopsis of “Hilpah and Shalum” that she thought that this selection was very appropriately given to her. She said that she had sev eral “fellers” but they were all like Tom Harward, they had another girl also. She said that she sincerely sympathized with Hilpah in that she had to wait those thous and years before she got Shalum. Miss Oma Utley now comes forward and tells of “A Modest ProposaL" It was written by a man named Gulli\er. In her opening remarks she said that she did not know much about Gulliver or his “Mod est Proposal,” but she said that she would give us girls an examjile of a modest pro posal which would be of much help to us in life. She said that when a “feller” called on you the FIRST SUNDAY to entertain him as best you might and when he got ready to lea\e just tell him how much you enjoyed his company and ask him to call again next First Sunday. She said she had kept Jack this way ever since she had come to Elon. . A life of Carlyle was read by Miss An nie Gregory. She said: “Mr. Scarboro is so much like Carlyle. You know some folks say he will never l>e any good, but do you know 1 think he will be a genius and just as Carlyle’s wife saw the genius ill him, T see the genius in Willie and I am going to have him, no matter what they say.” Miss Rutli Hall said that she did noi know' what a cony was and that if sh. did, slie would not think that “The Art ,^f Cony Catching" was half as great as “fel ler” catching. Therefore she should ik on “feller” catching. She sai I i-hi 'd not know how she (aught Hollis. ,iiu*ss it was thal she smiled at him one dav au,; !l;vn 1m- a and ' she had held him ever since. She si id the catching was not tialf so liaid as the hold- iug. Miss Jessie Dawson said Richard Hooker was the great grandfather of Alonzo Hook and that not being as great as Ak no i she should take the liberty to ial,k of Alonzo. She said, “Lonnie is the cuiest boy in school, he is so kind, sendinp' me candy nearly every day; he is so sweet and so lovable, he is a senior at Elon and he certainly is a friend to me.” She then outlined ‘‘Lonnie’s’’ life, character and beauty in great detail to the great edi fication of the Club. At the close Miss lone McCauley rose ui and said: “Ladies, 1 see that all in this organization are having a great deal of trouble with the boys- 1 think that we are having more trouble with boys than with Soph. English. I believe there is a broad er field and a nobler work for this organ ization than reading literature. 1 there fore aiove that the pm,/one of this or ganization he to have justice done to women, to get fellers for the gills who want them, to better the cause of woman kind in general, and I wish to include in this motion that the name of his club be changed from ‘Quid Nunc’ to ‘Meliom Feminis.’ ” The floor was full of 'ladies trying to get recognition from the pres ident to second the motion, which was -arried without a dissenting voice. Th« public may hope to hear of many great things done by our .club in the future. O. U., Cor. Sec.
