MacDoweli Club Gives Picture;
Dramatic Club Presents Play
Pierrette Players Give “The Minuet,” With Miss
Chase, Ruth Pfohl And Zora Foy.
Large Audience.
The members of the Mac-
Dowell Club enjoyed a most
interesting program on Satur
day night, November 14. B'
sides the showing of the pictur
Peter Pan, there was an added
attraction in the form of a one-
act play. The Minuet, by Moliere,
which was given by the Pier
rette Players, under the direc
tion of Miss Chase. Dorothy
Siewers was to have played the
leading role, but on account of
her unavoidable absence,
Chase took the part instead. She
made a very handsome and at
tractive Marquis, while Miss
Ruth Pfohl played opposite her
in the role of the Marchioness,
the noble and beautiful French
“aristo”. Miss Zora Foy took the
part of the jailor.
The, scene was laid in France
at the time of the Reign of
Terror. The Marquis is seen
seated alone, in the bare, rough
room, which serves him as a
prison. He is calm and unruffled,
although it is only a matter of
a few hours before he will be
led to the guillotine. He is read
ing and meditating on his past
life at court when he was a
favorite with couitieis and
ladies, and on his present hope
less and friendless postion, when
the jailor strides in with ar
rogant insolence. He marvels
at the undistrubed calm of the
Marquis who is so near his
death. He tells him that a lady
is below, asking to see him, but
insinuates that only for a price
will he allow his prisoner to see
her. The Marquis contemptuous
ly flings him his golden snuff
box and the lady is allowed to
enter. She proves to be the
Marquis’ own wife whom he had
married in happier days. They
had hitherto been wholly
different to each other and
deed had not seen each other for
a long time. The Marchioness
even now appears indifferent to
her husband’s fate,
amazed to find that she has
taken the trouble to see him be
fore he dies, but she tells him
that she too is a prisoner, await
ing her execution and that she
has come, not to say faretwell,
but to die with him. They both
realize then that they still love
each other, in spite of years of
misunderstanding, and when the
jailor comes to summon them,
they go together to the guillo
tine, hand in hand, and seeming
to tread the slow, stately
measure of the minuet.
Peter Pan was a play of
entirely different character. The
story, written by James M.
Barrie , is of children and for
children and for all those who
love children. Peter Pan repre
sents the spirit of eternal youth,
of childhood which never grows
up. The part of Peter Pan is
played by Betty Bronson. Peter’s
home is in Never Never Land,
where all the lost boys of the
World go, and where nobody
ever grows up. There in Never
Never Land live also a band of
Indians who are friends of
Peter’s and a ferocious
pirates led by the 'terrible
Captain Hook, who wage
tinual war with the lost boyt
and with Peter who is theii
captain. Not the least i:
portant of the inhabitants
that strange counti-y are t
fairies, of whom Tinker Bell
Peter’s special friend a:
follower.
Although Peter has determin-
never to grofw up and live
the world again, he sometimes
goes back to see what the other
little boys and girls are doing.
On one of his trips to the
he peeps into the nursery of the
DarUngs where Wendy, John
and Michael are being put to bed
by their nurse, a large dog
named Nana. She is a very
iiderful dog and a competent
nurse so that the Darlings feel
perfectly safe in leaving their
children to her care. At the
time of Peter Pan’s first visit,
Darling is in the nursery.
He slips in the window and be
gins to frolic around and

Welcomed Enthusiastically
at Salem.
On Wednesday morning, Nov
ember the eighteenth, at the ex
panded chapel hour, Salem Col
lege and Academy were very
fortunate in having as speaker
Dr. Moss, of Chapel Hill.
‘Parson” Moss, as he is af-
I'ectionately called by large
numbers of college students, is
one of the most well-loved
ministers in this part of the
south, and his talk was both
interesting and inspiring.
Dr. Moss chose as his subject
the words of Jesus Christ,
cept ye become as little children
not enter into the king
dom of Heaven.” This i

necessary and wise,—that the
days of having to induce girls to
ege have passed,—that
there are more girls standing

Miss Louise Fleming Talks
Of Student Friendship
Miss Louise Fleming, Student
Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at
Winthrop College, spoke of the
Student Friendship Drive last
Sunday evening, in the living
room of Ahce Clewell Building.
Miss Fleming was a member of
the American delegation at the
World Student Conference, held
in Switzerland l«st year, and
brought many inspiring ideas to
the group of girls who heard
She spoke of the various
addresses, delivered in French,
German and English, and of the
:eneral spirit of fellowship and
understanding which pervaded
the conference. Miss Fleming
particularly impressed by
the change in the attitude of the
French and German delegates.
At the beginning, they were
ady to fly at each other’s
thi'oats, but at the last meeting,
the Frenchmen expressed his
appreciation of the -German’
generosity and friendliness; the
German thanked the other for
his kindness and the two shook
hands in a spirit of peace and
mutual understanding.
Miss Fleming spoke of the
Student Self-Help Association,
which establishes loan funds to
help students support them
selves in great distress, make al-
selves in great distrees,
most unbelievable sacrifices to
aid others. The Russians '
pecially are doing such work
France, though they are sorely
need of everything; they sent
particular messages of apprecia
tion to Americans fofr all that
has been done for them.
The speaker told of the girls’
doi-mitory, where Austrian,
French, Bulgarian, Roumanian,
German, American, Italian, Turk
and Swiss were side by side and
kept the peace unmarred by any
national bitterness or jealousy.
Conditions among students
e still far from ideal. They
have only one meal a day, at
times, this meal consisting of
slice of bread and a cup of cocoa.
Of course under such conditions
the best mental activity
possible and many are suffering
from diseases of mal-nutrition.
To remedy this evil is one aim
of the Student Friendship fund.
The tenth semi-annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Col
legiate Press Association was
held Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday, November 12-14 at the
University of North Carolina.
Delegates from twelve of the
leading univei-sities and colleges
the state were present.
The meeting was opened
Thursday evening with
dress by W. N. Kuner, editor of
the Durham Herald. Mr. Kuner
opened his address by remark
ing on the difficulty in speaking
to a college audience. “I have
chosen no special topic for to
night,” said Mr. Kuner, “for
newspaper work is a conglamua-
tion of practically every
subject.”
He first mentioned the fact
that in his college days the
financial difficulties of the col
lege publications were consider
! seriously than the
quality of the acceptable
terial. Now it is different be
cause more time and thought
given to the contents of the
paper, as the financial difficulties
have been lessened. As a result
of this, the material is much
better.
‘My advice to everyone
learn to express himself in writ
ing,” the speaker continued.
the fastest and most effective
method of making your opinions
known and respected.”
“Newspaper work is very
trying and aggravating. There
not much money in it and
glory, but one year of it contains
excitement and pleasure
than any other occupation

of printer’s ink on your fingers
you are in the game for good.
At this time there is a grek
demand for men interested in
this hne of business. North
Carolina papers want North
Carolina men who are capable
and who are faniiliar with state
conditions. Good postitions are
waiting for those who want to
and are able to fill them.”
Friday morning at nine-thirty,
the business meeting was open
ed with a welcoming address by
Mr. J. H. Linebuger, president of
the Publications Union, and the
response make by Ruth Efird.
The feature of the business
meeting was the address by Mr.
Moore, president of the
Association, on “Freedom of the
College Press”.
Mr. Moore declared that most
colleges lack freedom of the
press, because they are used to
advertise the college. Such a
position was natural when col
leges were young and they had
to create a good impression, but
now colleges have too many
students. The idea now is not
to bring in more students, but
to give students a better chance
for development.
Mr. Moore stated that groups
at the head of college publica
tions are not infallible, as a trait
