THE TWIG SE.MOUS WIN OAMK FHO^I SOI’JIS (Continued frovi page one) Sewell soiuuled her whistle and the contest started. Scarcely had the ball been tossed when the Seniors began their score. Somehow they started with a lead and maintained that lead. During the first quarter Sawyer and Nelson shot several field goals while Cobb was able to tally only one field goal for the Sophs. All the first quarter the Sophs kept trying to climb, but they only seemed to sink deeper. The second quarter began with even more fighting than the first. The bat tle became “ilegal” and Boney was called out. The Sophs were still en deavoring to rise but Nelson and Saw yer kept putting the score beyond their grasp. At the end of the first half the Seniors had such a large score that the spectators thought they had enough. The third quarter convinced every one that the Senior slogan must have been “more.” 'Sawyer dropped the balls in the goal from every angle. “Half a league onward”—and the game continued! The Sophs managed to score a bit. but they couldn’t keep pace with the Seniors. Harris was called out and C. Nelson took her place. But why did they even need a substitute? As the fourth quarter drew to a close the Sophs realized how hopeless the game was. But they fought on until the final whistle was sounded. We guess there must have been some new stars in Heaven that night! Sawyer shone! Point after point goes to her glory. Nelson scored heavily, too. Cobb was the main eager for the Sophs. Let us not forget too that Scarborough did some fine playing. Harris guarded unusually well. So did Boney, Herring, Arnette, Bana and Hill. As for the centers we’ll say they’re fine. Six of one and halt a dozen of the other! But wait a minute—we haven’t told you the score! "Why not? Well, after we pass 35 in a basketball score we almost forget to count. If memory serves us right the score was about 3S-1G in favor of the “champions." Will '27 take tlie next game and en ter the championship series for the fourth time? All of us are waiting for the final contest. Our nerves are on edge and our very finger tips tingle. In all the bustle and hurry of every day life we’ll pause and ask ourselves, •'Does history repeat itself?” If it does, then ’27 has several more games to win. chored at a port In Brazil. Dr. Bagby went ashore and chanccd to see a den tist’s sign and the name he knew was that of an American. He went up to sec the dentist and found that the dentist hud a letter for him. This letter Dr. Bagby soon discovered was an invitation from some American people that lived in Brazil to come und live with them. Dr. Bagby hur ried back to the ship to tell the good news to Mrs. Bagby. This was an an swer to their prayers. The word ■'faith” may be used to characterize these missionary workers. Dr. and Mrs. Newton, missionaries to China, were the other characters mentioned by Mrs. Maddry. At the time Dr. and Mrs. Newton decided to go to China Dr. Newton was pastor in Greensboro. Through prayer Dr. and Mrs. Newton separately felt a call for work on the mission field. Self-forgetfulness and fearlessness may be used to describe these faithful workers. In our prepa ration for life we should carry out the great commission given us by Christ, because as we work here we may as truly work for Christ as the mission aries on foreign fields. .IIJNIOK RECITAL STAGtl) IN AUM'l’OItlUM (Continued from page one) One Fine Day (Madam Butterfly) Pucci7il Katherine Carter Wedding Day at Troldhaugen.-.G?'ie£r Elizabeth Wheeless II Bacia Ardlii Neva Pearl Kendrick Concert Waltz Friml Dorothy Tublington At the Carnival Grieff Charlotte Curtis Allegro (Concerto 104) deBcriot Mary Brockwell Sonata Eroica (First Movement) MacDowcU Annie Ree McGugan Ariane illasscnet Evelyn Rhea Wood Liebestraum Liszt Etude in Octaves LcHChelizki Virginia Branch Sounds From the Vienna Woods Sti'ouss-IHclintt Elizabeth Buffaloe A!ST«Or*:KTO.\ SOCIETY 1»KESE>TS “(lillEEX STOCKIXGS» fContinuea from page one) put in the daily paper, and the other members of the family, upon finding it, are almost overcome with grief and sympathy for Celia. While they are grieving, a visitor is announced. Hia card shows him to be Colonel Vavasour, a friend of Colonel Smith, who has come to bring his •'last, dying message.” However, he proves to be Colonel Smith himself, who has received the letter written by Celia, and has come to meet ills un known fianc6e. Soon all difficulies are overcome, and both Colonel Smith and Celia discover that they have been waiting for each other all their lives. Jewel Askew, as Celia, showed noi only a fine interpretation of the char acter, but also a well-developed power of expression. Her personality was charming, and she made the audience laugJi witht her and weep with her. The part of Colonel Smith was played with remarkable ability by Cleone Cooper. In the compara tively sliort time he was upon tho stage, Colonel Smith won the admira tion and respect of the whole audience. Clarissa Poteat, In her own Inimi table way, took the role of Aunt Ida, a stout, quick-tempered, warm-hearted motherly lady of about fifty. Aunt Ida was, by far. the most comical char acter, and Clarissa’s interpretation of the “drunk'’ scene will long Pe re membered and laughed at. Lonie Garden took the part of William Farraday, portraying with ability the fashionable, superficial, dignified old gentleman. Admiral Grice was one of tlie most interesting and amusing characters. Addle Sprinkle presented him well as a testy old gentleman of about sixty- five, with the manner of an old sea dog of ruddy complexion, with white hair and whiskers. Ruth Leary, as Phyllis, and Geneva Benthall, as Robert Tarver, rendered a delightfully funny and realistic Im personation of an engaged couple. They added much to the color and Interest of the play. Madge (Mrs. Rockingham) and Evelyn (Lady Trenehai’d) wei’e well portrayed by Pauline Newton and Margaret Lupton, as handsome, well- dressed, fashionable women of 25 and 27 respectively. Eliza;beth Larkin, as Henry Stelle, and Howard Mumford, as James Raleigh, were excellent young men, and Louise Craven acted with great dignity the part of Martin, an old family servant. A great part of the credit for the success of the play is due Dr. W. C. Horton, who coached and directed the amateurs. Green Stockings was. Indeed, a suc cess in every manner, aficl the actors, director, and society are to be con gratulated upon this exceptional pro duction. 3IIJS. C.

She later, with a girl friend, went to Chile, and with her happy personality and gift for leadership has made a groat suc cess? of the mission work. • To this character Mrs. Maddry would ascribe “depcadability.” Josephine Wood gave herself as a missionary to China. When her mother was approached on the subject of giving her daughter to go on foreign fields, she said that she was happy that God had so honored her as to take her daughter to do his work on a mission field in China.
