NEVELE CLUB HOLDS AN

received by several of the girls on
third floor saying that Miss Frances
Sterrett and Miss Lillian Cooper would
be at home that evening. Nine-thirty
found the recipients of these invita
tions being ushered into a snmll un
used room on third floor. The room
had been artistically arranged with
pillows, rugs and banners, witli only
one tall red ca/idle to furnish light. Af

thern parties” these southern girls had
ever attended.
Thursday evening there gathered
round the cheery open fire in West
Dormitory reception room, the members
of the Nevele Club.
All were exceedingly interested in
looking over the new books for the

cellent.

THE CHAMPION
We were all interested in the out
come of’the Olympic games. We were
all interested in the World Series—
and here’s three cheers for our Capital
City. We are as much interested in
our football team. But speaking of
champions—few people know that there
is one in our midst all the time.
A boy who eats at one time—
One pound of sausage,
One pound of cheese—not Limber-

Ten green apples,

And still lives .

Mrs. 0. K. Cowing, daughter and son

Tuesday evening, October 7, Miss De-
loris Morrow very charmingly enter
tained the Nevele Club at West Dormi
tory.
The Club again voted to postj)one the
initiation of Miss Newman. After
some discussion the Club decided to
have a picnic supper at Ossipee on
Thursday. Mrs. Barney gave some in
teresting information concerning the
life of Smith, author of “Pollyanna of
the Orange Blossoms.”
In her talk on Grey, the author of
“The Call of the Canyon,” Mrs. Alex
ander touched on the important facts
of his life.
The Club is deriving much pleasure
from the study of the authors’ lives
whose works the members are reading.,
Mrs. Burnett and Miss Berkley will
furnish the program at the next meet-
ing.
The best portion of the Psiphelian
program this last week was the admir
able work of those new members ap
pearing on the program. Every one
was self poised and showed no signs of
uneasiness commonly spoken of as stage
fright. The program was as follows:
I. Life Story of Harriet Beecher
Stowe—Ruth Lyerly.
Miss Lyerly was thoroughly familiar
with her subject and discussed freely
the various incidents in the life of this
Southern author.
II. Humor, by Doris McLean
Unusually good. She had many new
jokes on various members of the stu
dent body and faculty.
III. Short Story—Mae Oliver.
A romance of a war hero and tlie
nurse who saved his life was vividly
portrayed. Of course they had the
usual disagreements and misunderstand
ings. The author prover herself almost
a genius by the unique and pleasant
finale.
IV. Essay—The New South—Kath
ryn Roney.
This was a delightful contrast of the
present South and that of forty years
ago. The subject was treated under
the divisions; economic, educational,
social, and political. An interesting but
little known fact that Miss Roney
brought out in her paper is that the
first steam railroad engine was used in
South Carolina. The phenomenal ex
pansion along educational lines was
shown in a concise manner by a few
well selected figures.
V. Piano Solo—Traumeri—Margaret
Rowland.
This universally popular selection by
Schumann was played sweetly and
gracefully. Miss Rowland’s interpre
tation was excellent.
VI. Current Jfveuts—Louise Caston.
They were both local and foreign,
covering many important and interest
ing events before the public today.
VII. Reading—“Man 0’ Deeds”—
Corinna Walker.
This comical selection was well re
ceived by the audience. Roney, Oliver
and Lyerly, all new members were
chosen as the best three on the program.

(By W. B. Terrell)
Hon. W. H. Carroll, prominent lawyer
of Burlington and Alamance County,
lectured to the students liere last Wed
nesday evening on his recent trip to
Europe.
Mr. Carroll and his wife visited
Europe with a party of the American
Bar Association as the guest of the Bar
Association of Canada and England.
They left home July 2, and went to
New York where they visited the city
and then sailed for Europe.
In opening his address Mr. Carroll
said that it was good to visit other
countries and see what they are doing.
He said the country over there is the
home of our ancestors. That Rome was
the center of our civilization and reli
gion. Se said that the best time to
visit Europe was soon after college
course is finished. He pointed out that
the trip would broaden education, would
make people appreciate their libraries
more. Mr. Carroll said that 90 per cent
of all the guests in the hotels were
Americans and that they were always
glad to see each other.
Before telling of his experiences
abroad Mr. Carroll gave his audience
some good advice about the necessary
preparation for such a trip. He said
a person should map out tours, know
where they are going. The best way
was to get with a touring party and
they would save a lot of trouble.
After arranging with touring party
he explained the necessary procedure to
secure a passport, and what it meant to
a person to have one. Then the mat
ter of money was discussed. He advised
the buying of American Express Com
pany checks because they were good
anywhere on earth, and further that a
person should not have any more money
than they actually needed in traveling
for in going from one country to an
other it was necessary to exchange the
money and often times it cost a good
bit in exchanging,
Mr. Carroll described some of the
wonderful things he saw in New York
City before he sailed. Among these was
the Cathedral of St. John the Divine,
which will be the largest in the world
when completed. He also described the
parting scenes at the harbor and of how
he felt as the Statue of Liberty faded
into the distance.
The first two days and nights out
were peaceful. However when they
were about 800 miles out they hit a
storm for 48 hours. Mr. Carroll in des
cribing this storm said that in making
preparation for such a trip it was well
to be able to say in times like thi.s
“Thy will be done.”
He said the presence of other ships
was a comfort to them. After the storm
the trip was very calm.
When they were about 600 miles from
land Mr, Carroll said thousands of sea
gulls came out and followed their ships
in. Pie said they would dip in behind
the ship and then dip in front of it.
He said this gave him a queer feeling.
After being on the water ten days
the party landed at Le Havre. Here
they pased through the custom houses
and went through the formalities there.
From Le Havre they took a train for
Paris. Mr. Carroll said that the harbor
at Le Havre was beautiful, that the
