Mr. O. C. Johnson, of Durham,
Elected President—Other
Officers.
That the class of 1924 is full of
pep and promise was amply dem
onstrated in the class organiza
tion and election of ofificers this
week.
The nominees for president
were O. C. Johnson, M. Z. Rhodes,
S. N. Lynam and R. V. Surratt.
Mr. Johnson was elected on the
fret hallot by a decisive majority.
For vice-president Miss Jennie
Gunter, Mr. P. D. Rudd and Mr.
rvl. Z. Rhodes were placed in
nomination. Mr. Rudd was elect
ed on the first ballot, with Miss
Gunter a close second.
Misses Gatling, Sellars, Bab
cock, Hart and Kibler were nomi
nated for secretary. The vote on
these five candidates was well dis
tributed, but Miss Gatling re
ceived a majority and was elected.
Miss Adams, Miss Babcock and
Mr. S. H. Atkinson were the
nominees for treasurer. Miss
Adams and Mr. Atkinson were
tied on the first ballot, each re
ceiving 36 votes. On the second
ballot Miss Adams was elected by
a small majority.
There was no division in the
selection of the Freshman debat
ing team for the interclass debate
with the Sophomores. Mr. Ly
nam, Mr. Helms, and Miss Gunter
were elected by acclamation.
Mr. Fesmire was elected chap
lain by a unanimous vote.
Miss Swanson was elected class
poet by acclamation.
Then, from a host of candidates,
Miss Lawrence was elected class
historian and Miss Dofiflemyer
was elected corresponding secre
tary. After the transaction of
routine business, the class ad
journed.
We wonder when the Power
House will be tried by the Stu
dent Senate for smoking on the
campus ?
The Kappa Psi Nu banquet was
a brilliant success. That , in
short, sums up the experience of
the fifty or more members and
their invited guests. Wednesday
evening of October 27 will always
be remembered by everyone pres
ent at the semi-annual feast of
the good old K. P. N.
The decorations were tasteful
ly arranged in blue and gold, the
fraternity’s colors. Each table
was decorated with a vase of
gorgeous chrysanthemums. The
gold and blue color note was car
ried nut not only Irt the
tions but in the refreshments as
well.
The refreshments were a tri
umph. A dainty fruit salad, serv
ed in neat orange baskets with
blue and gold paper handles, com
prised the first course. Then came
a course of tempting club sand
wiches and hot chocolate. Deli
cious block ice cream and cake
was served next, followed by
mints and nuts.
The guests assembled in the
reception room in the West Dor
mitory and were escorted to the
Domestic Science Hall. After
they were seated, the frat mem
bers gave their rousing frat yell.
Mr. C. M. Cannon served as toast
master and acquitted himself
handsomely.
The address of welcome was
delivered by W. D. Lambeth. He
mentioned the ideals and aspira
tions of the Kappa Psi Nu, gave
the significance of the name, and
welcomed the guests in such a
genial way as to make them feel
perfectly at ease. The jovial
spirit of the occasion was caught
by all, and for three hours the
world stood still for Kappa Psi
Nu and their friends. Miss Lucy
Eldridge responded in behalf of
the girls.
L. B. Ezell then gave a toast to
the girls, which was responded
to by Miss Mary Miller. Follow
ing this R. S. Rainey gave a read
ing in which he characterized
each member of the Kappa Psi
Nu. This gave rise to much
merriment. Miss Lula Lilly res
ponded with a similar reading in
which she characterized each of
the young ladies. L. L Ingle and
J. W. Fix entertained the happy
band with some well chosen
humorous remarks, after which
H. L. Scott gave a handsome
toast to the girls.
H. G. Self was called upon for
an address, and gave it with great
accuracy and detail, down to the
R. F. D. and box number. K. R.

tian Endeavor Will Hold Its

but found difTiculty in the rendi
tion and saved himself b)^giving a
humorous reading. L O. Hauser
then called upon several members
and guests to tell what they
would do first if presented with a
million dollars. Responses were
made by H. G. Self, W. M. Gar
rison, F. H. Hunter, C. L. Wal
ker, Mrs. R. S. Rainey and L. B.
Ezell. From the nature of these
responses it is quite evident that
poverty is a blessing in disguise,
for some dire things were brought
to light that would most certain
ly happen if these men should
have sudden wealth thrust upon
them. Mr. L. M. Cannon then
favored the company with a toast.
All this time R. S. Rainey had
been vainly endeavoring to read
a “vera gude let-ter,” and at last
the toast master consented. The
letter was indeed “vera gude.”
After Mr. J. E. MacCauley had
told the best joke of the season,
the happy occasion was brought
to an end by a toast from C. M.
Cannon, which fell as a benedic
tion upon 50 happy hearts.
A NEW ONE.

up to the soda clerk: “One vanilla
chocolate milk soda shake,
please.”
Mr. L. B. Ezell spent the week
end at his home in Graham.
The local Christian Endeavor
Society is looking forward with
great joy to the conference which
will be held by the Northwestern
District of the organization on
November 6 and 7.
Indeed we are anticipating one
of the greatest meetings held dur
ing the history of Alma Mater.
The visitors will be the select
few from t’’ - -'arious organiza
tions throughout the district, am
their association during the con
ference will mean a great deal to
us who are interested and deep
ly concerned about Christian
Endeavor.
We hope to have a number of
returned missionaries who will
tell their wonderful experiences
in the great work for the King
dom. There will be other speak
ers to bring messages of inspira
tion and enthusiasm rega-rdingj
the great programs of the home
land, and regarding the magnifi
cent opportunities ofifered Chris
tian Endeavor.
It is the sincere desire of the
local ofificers that every one of
the student body belonging to the
Christian Endeavor make it a
point to be on the Hill during the
week-end of November 6-7. It
will be worth while to hear the
addresses and meet the visitors.
Be sure to be here, and show the
Delegates a most enjoyable time.
You will share the joy with them.
“Recent events” was our topic
for consideration last Sunday
evening; we did not, however
confine the discussion to recent
happenings, but pointed out many
events of a few years past. The
World War was nothing less than
a conspiracy to accomplish a sel
fish motive. Why have nations
soared to great heights of power
and crumbled? Simply because
of some selfish ambition, an en-
