ablic address welcomed the audience.

was indeed fitting that the 18th should

plained that the play was given solely
to entertain, and not for its educational
valiie. nor to represent the type of
work done in the society hall. Miss
Howell vfry charmingly thanked all
tliosc who had assisted the society in
'afiv way in putting oi) this ontertain-
luent.
Between tlie fii'st and second acts
Jliss I’auline Xelson played a beauti
ful violin solo, “Praeludium,” by Pug-
iiaiu, Kreisler which was greatly en
joyed by the audience. Miss Mary Lee
Foster deserves much credit for her
work as dramatic coach, and iliss Mar
garet Joe Ballentiue for nor nianagc-
ineiit of the stage settings.
The plan o'f the play hinged on the
idea of Austin Bevans, an automobile
salesman who desired to teach school,
that girls should be taught cliarm. On
the death of an aunt, he inherited the
Fairview school for girls, and imnie-

The past fall has witnessed a great
success in the woTk of the Y. W. C. A.
on the Hill. Perhaps the work has not
been widely read of or talked about
but there has been lots orf work done
through the members of the cabinet
aiKl loyal menil)ers of the crganization
We remember the teaehi'iigs of Chi'ist
that the most successful things were
not those about which there was much
boasting, but the things that are done
in secret shall be the outstanding thing
in the “bigness” of the loing. "We
do not mean to' say we have tried to
work in secret but we do say we have
done excellent w'ork in the line of Y.
W. C. A. We have not confined our
v.'ork to any sjtecial line ,but have en-
deavoreil to take part in' the natio'iial
campaigns as well as looking out for
our local organization.

not result in such but that our visions
may be in reality in a few more months.
We. the members of the cabinet a|>pre-

Lynchburg Gcune.
Monday night Lynchburg nosed out
three points ahead of the Elon quint
here and carried away a hard fought
victory by the score of 14 to 11.
Much improvement has been noticed
in. our team since their lirst game last
week with Newberry. Their floor w’ork
was decidedly faster, and their passing
more accurate. Huring every minute of
the game they were pushing the Vix-
ginians hard, tagging just a point or
two behind.
Lynchburg exhibited a smooth work
ing team on tiic floor but showed weak
ness in caging the ball both on field and
foul tries.
The home team led off in sco'ring
with a foul toss and kept the lead for
the better part of the first period.
Lynchburg tying at four all and then
tossing another field counter before the
half ended, eight to six in their favor.

ONE VOTE FOR
Prettiest Girl:
The Philologian Literary Society's
program last Thursday night was one
of the best given during the year. A
keen interest was shown in the pro
gram. especially the deltate. The at
tendance was also above the average.
The first number on the pro-gram was a
talk on Basketball Prospects for the
Following Year, By Brown Fogleman.
Mr. Fogleman gave a good review ot
our chances in the Inter-collegiate
games during the comijig season. He
also discussed the class games and the
iiigh class spirit that w^as being shown
in these games. He predicted that the
Sophomores would win the class cham
pionship as their team was showing bet
tor toam w’ork than the others.
The second number was Humor, by
E. W. McCauley. :Mr. McCauley’s jokes
were well selected and showed that he
has a keen sense of humor.
The next number was North Caro
lina ’s Progress in Road Construction,
by Jack Corbitt. Mr. Corbitt showed
the progress that had been made in road
building in this state iu the last few
years in number of miles or hard sur
face roads in the state at present aurt
also the number of miles of dirt sur
faced roads constructed in this state in
the last ten years. He closed his talk
with a brief sketch of the future plans
of the state for road construction in
the next few years.
The last number on the program was
a debate on the query, Resolved: That
trade unions as tliey now exist are on
the whole beneficial to the United
States. C. W. Gordon, B. L. Green, and
J, C. Latham upheld the afiirmative,
and D. M. Spence, R. M. Crawford, ant;
F. L. Gibbs the negative. The debate
was warmly contested and showed that
each side had given the query much
time and serious thought. The judges
decided in favor of the negative. The
new men showed up especially well, J.
C. Latham being judged best on the
affirmative, D. ]\L Spence best on the
negative, and E. W. McCauley best ora-
torically.

Last Tuesday, January 12, the Clio
Literary Society held its first regular
meeting of the spring term. As the
time for the Clio Annual Entertain
ment, February 22, is almost at hand, a
greater part of the evening was de
voted to discussin of the pro'gram for
that date. The literary work, however,
was not entirely disposed of, for a
short but interesting program was ren
dered. The program was as follows;
Current Events, by G. L. Holland.
Very interesting topics with which all
people should be familiar, were read
and discussed.
Musical Selection by Mr. Prescott.
This event on the program was perhap*
the most enjoyable of all. Mr. Pres
cott plays well on the piano and for
his selection he played Souvenir.
Humor by D. L. Harrell.
Reading by T. R. Ruston. The read
er’s expression was exceptionally good
and his selection, Some Little Bug Is
Going to Get You, Some Day, was en
joyable.
