MOTHER GOOSE PROGRAM
GIVEN BY NEW PHIS
NEW MEMBEUS PROVE THEM.
SELVES WORTHY OF THE
NAME OF THILARETIANS
The first program of the Phi Society
for the year 1924-1925 was one of wn-
usual Interest. It was presented en
tirely by the new members of
the society. The old Phis discovered
that they were not the only
ones that could render good pro
grams. The new Phis proved them
selves (luite worthy of membership
when they gave a very attractive
Mother Goose program.
The following are the numbers that
were enjoyed:
Little Jack Horner..Mary Lee Copeland
Little Bo Peep Mary Ayers
Little Miss Phila Linda Cobb
Ten Little Phis Ten of ’em
Old Mother Hubbard....Florence Stakes
There were Some Philaretians
Mary Phillips
Jack and Jill Ellen Johnson and
Estelle Pittman
Little Girl, Little Girl Lora Dills
Sing and Do Lucile Pitt
The costumes and rhymes were very
appropriate. Little Bo Peep was much
like the character of a childs dream
of nursery land. Every one on the
program did her part well. It seems
that the new Phis are setting a good
example for the old ones. They have
got the spirit of Philaretia so soon
and so whole heartedly that the cooper
ation between old and new will make
us worthy to follow in the footsteps
of Philaretia fair.

MISS SMITH READS
FOR CIRCLE MONDAY
3. M. BAUIUE’S STORV OF I’NOW-
HEAD’S BELL READ
There was a large attendance at the
reading circle held In the Y room,
Monday afternoon. Miss Smith read
the delightful story of T’nowhead’s
Bell by James M. Barrie. The story Is
taken from the book of Auld Licht
Idllys and deals with the wooing of
T'nowhead's Bell by two of the auld
Llcht church men. The Scotch dialect
of the story would have been somewhat
difficult to understand had It not been
read In such a clear and pleasing way.
The growing interest in this reading
hour Is an indication of the pleasure
enjoyed by all who attend.
OCTOBER THIRTY FIRST
IS HALLOWE’EN
GHOSTS WALK, BATS FLIT, AND
WITCHES RIBE ON ALL
SAINTS’ EVE
Ever.since when have we celebrat
ed Hallowe'en? Well, since the histori
cal background of anything becomes a
wee bit uninteresting, we shall not dig
up why's, when’s, and where's of Hal
lowe'en, but rather say It Is a night
always looked forward to by every one,
but mostly by children.
One night about 12:30 when It was
ime Cor the witches and all the spooks
which persist In disturbing little boys'
dreams little Johnnie found himself
near a huge black cat and when he
started to stroke the glossy black fur
he saw instead of a cat a witch with
her broom in hand and at that Johnnie
become a wee bit frightened, “Not one
tear, come with me," said the witch and
before time for a tear, he found him
self flying away on the broom with
the witch. In a few moments down,
down come the broom and both Johnnie
and his strange companion found them
selves among a million black cats,
spooks and as Johnnie thought every
thing else that could be thought of—
all he had ever heard of during Hal
lowe’en.
He was introduce to all of the spooks
and as he started to say he was glad
to be among them he looked around
only to see all sorts of Jack O’ Lanterns
all aglow. Then dotted about the land
were huge pumpkins and on each
nimpkin sat a freak. He was at a
loss to know which way to turn for
there he was In their midst.
Johnnie was asked to say a few
words of welcome to the gathering and
after several attempts he began to cry.
Then some of the freaks disappeared
only to return with an enormous black
box and Johnnie was sure his end was
near, but much to his surprise It was
filled with all kinds of fruit, candy,
nuts, and everything good to eat, but
as he reached out his hand for some
of the contents all of it along with the
box disappeared. Johnnie was puzzled
to know exactly the reason for all of
this and no sooner had he started to
isk how he got there than he was on
the broom again accompanied by th^
same witch sailing thru the air, but
this time all of the other witches
spooks and all the other curious things
were following close behind.
Just before Johnnie reached home he
woke up only to find himself being
tucked in bed by his dear mother, but
it was hard to convince him that he
had only been dreaming—this Is John
nie’s advice, “BE CAREFUL THE
SPOOKS WILL GET YOU TOO.”

and how we may prove our friendship
by kindly words and deeds, painting
our opportunities for helping our fel
low students across the seas. Ellza-

CHAPEL TALK GIVEN
BY MISS COVINGTON
TBL’TH THEME OK WEDNESDAY
JIORMNG CHAl'EL TALK
Last Wednesday morning the chapel
hour was again conducted by Miss
Covington,
Sli^ took as her text the eighth verse
of the fourth chapter of Philippians
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report, If there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on theiic
things,"
We were then asked to think for
a few minutes, with her, and consider
just what was meant.
“Are we really true? Are we con
scious of what real truth is? We do
not deliberately lie but do we always
tell the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, our tone of voice tells a
great deal. If we say something 'in
good faith and some one repeats it in
a different tone of voice so that it Im
plies an entirely different meaning
from that which we meant, that is not
the truth. Many times we lie by
dlence. If we hear some one make a
statement about some one that we know
is not so, and keep silent, we are not
being true. Then are we always true
to ourselves. Do we not sometimes
deceive ourselves—or try to at least?
'This above all to thine own self be
true, and it must follow as the night
the day, thou canst not then be false
to any man.’
Are we always honest? We do not
deliberately lie, steal or cheat, but do
we always do the honorable thing?
There is a law that if a man owes
another man some money and gives
him a note, after a certain number of
years that note is out of date unless it
has been renewed. Whether we are in
side the law or not, would this be
honest? Then too, there are higher
ways of being honest we should be
honest to ourselves and to our neigh
bors. We should not deceive because
it is not honest,
"Oh what a tangled web we weave
when first we practice to deceive.”
If we start deceiving we get in deeper
and deeper until there is almost no
way out.

CLASSICAL CLUB MEETS
FIRST TIME OF YEAR
GODS AND GODDESSES KKASSKM-
BLE ON MOUNT OLYMl'US
The Classical Club held the first
meeting of the new term on Tuesday,
October 14th in the parlors. Nineteen
now aspirants to the realm of Mount
Olympus were welcomed into the midst
of the white-robed gods and goddesses
by Minerva, the patron goddess of the
club.
After the new members had duly
become acquainted with their comitates
and the constitution and by-laws had
been read, the assembly resigned Itself
to feasting and revelry, begun by a
contest of Interesting content. The re
ward was presented to the winner, Ba
cchus, by Mercury. Hebe and Bacchus
then served delectable ambrosiit and
nectar after which the gods and god
desses vanished to their several abodes.
ASTRO PROGRAM GIVEN
BY LITERARY GROUP
ASTI{OTEKTONS ENTERTAINED BY
READINGS GIVEN BY
MEMBERS
The program of the Astrotekton Lit
erary society for Saturday evening
October 25, 1924, was Indeed an enjoy-
tlilc one. The literary group had
charge of the program. There was
\ reading: James Whitcomb Riley’s
Thut Little Boy of Mine, given
by Glennie Morgan. This delightful
poem combined with the natural talent
if the reader, was a very great treat for
all. Ruth Bruce read a selection from
3'Henry, and as all others of his stories
ic was interesting and entertaining
for every one. Margaret Wheeler read
an original paper discussing the fact
that man is evolved from lower ani
mals. She made quite a charming and
humorous play on this old biological
question, which held the attention of
every one present. Thus the program
came to an end—applauded by a very
'.ppreciatlve audience.
CONFERENCE DELEGATES
GIVE Y. W. C. A. TALKS
DELEGATES TO STUDENT CONFER.
ENCE GIVE REPORTS IN
Y. ^V. C. A.
The Y. W. C. A. program, in charge
of three of our delegates to the recent
Student Conference held in Greensboro
was an interesting one. We. who were
listeners could not help but catch
some of the thrill which Jilled the soul
of each speaker as she gave her re
port.
Mary Bowers opened the program
by saying that there were many things
impressive, but the most Impressive
-cature of the whole session was this
■erse of scripture found in I Cor. 10:31.
“Whether therefore ye eat. or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory
of God.” This verse can be applied to
our daily lives. If each thing we do,
is for the glory of God. then it is all
right, if not it is all wrong.
This was followed by a brief outline
of the whole session by Mary Misenhel-
.ner.
The Purpose of the Conference last
year was to make the Campus different
:his year to make Christ Campus Com-
nander.
Vei-y helpful and inspiring addres
ses on “What Student Work Should
Moan in North Carolina." “Place of a
Student in the Baptist World." “Con
sider Jesus.” ‘‘What a Student Can Do
on the Campus," were delivered by
Dr. Maddrey, Dr. Poteat, and Mr. Lea-
vell.
There was much open discussion
on different things to be considered In
Campus life. Does the Golden Rule
prevail? Do we know the saved, the
unsaved, on our Campus? We arc liv
ing monuments to the life of Christ.
What kind of monuments are we?
If Christ Is to be Campus Comman
der let Him be Commander of all.
By special request Minnie Herrin
gave us her wonderful and inspiring
.alk on "Thirty minutes alone with
Christ each Day.”
I-low many of \is spend thirty min
utes, even fifteen In prayer to Christ
each day? This question can well be
