First Hockey Game of Season
Called For Saturday, 2 P. M.
Seniors and Sophomores

and Freshmen
Varied Program
At Student Recital
MISS GLENNIE PAUL GIVES \KappaNu Sigma Honor Society
Sponsors Lecture by Dr. Gaines
The student body is expected
to postpone its weekly shopping
expedition to the city for an
hour on Saturday afternoon for
the first hockey game of the sea
son. The contestants have al
ready been winnowed out until
only a few remain. These have
been practicing faithfully all the
week, and the players for the
two teams—senior - sophomore
and junior-freshman—will be
chosen from among their num
ber.
The game will last but forty
minutes. It is called for 2
o’clock, and the whole thing will
be concluded in time for the girls
to catch the 2:45 bus for the
city. Miss Daisy Anderson of
the Blind Institution will referee.
The contest will be a close one,
because the players are evenly
matched. Snappy songs and
yells will occupy those on the
sidelines and put them as well
into the spirit of the game as
would actually hitting a ball.
The event promises plenty of ex
citement and entertainment for
everybody.
The regular Thursday after
noon student recital of Decem
ber 5 at 5 o’clock, in the college
auditorium, was one of interest
and enjoyment. The program
varied in its numbers, and each
number was well received. The
program was made up of piano,
organ, violin, and vocal selec
tions. The progress of Olive
Hamrick, the small daughter of
P. E. Hamrick, bursar at Mere
dith, is watched with keen inter
est. Olive appeared twice on the
program Thursday, rendering
solos in piano and violin, respec
tively, and played quite well. The
program in general was well pre
sented.
The program was as follows:

On Friday evening, December
6, Miss Glennie Paul played her
graduating recital and capti
vated the audience with her in
terpretation of her numbers.
Her program was a difficult one,
consisting of what musicians
call “the three B’s”—Bach, Bee
thoven, and Brahms. But Glen
nie swept aside all difficulties,
playing with the assurance and
mastery of a much older musi
cian.
The program opened with
Bach’s Concerto No. 2, and it
was in this number that Glennie
did some of her best playing. The
brilliance with which she played
the first movement, the Allegro
Maestoso, formed an interesting
Smart contrast to the calm smoothness
of the Adagio. The last move
ment, the Allegro, was very
rhythmical, and though taken at
a fast tempo for so young an
artist, was very clear and had
in it warmth and feeling.
The next number was a So
nata, Op. 53, by Beethoven.
Glennie combined in this number
the brilliance of which she had
shown herself capable in her
first number with an understand
ing sense of interpretation. Her
Interesting Speakers
At Chapel Exercises
The week beginning Tuesday,
December 3, brought several
interesting speakers to the Mere
dith chapel exercises. Dr. Hud
son, a prominent Baptist of our
State, was introduced Tuesday
morning by Dr. E. Gibson Davis
of the Tabernacle Baptist
Church in Raleigh. Dr. Hudson
led the devotional exercise, after
which he made a short talk, in
which he stated that what we
would be able to take in from
life would be governed by and
equal to what we could give out
in life.
Thursday morning Meredith
welcomed an old, much-loved
friend. Dr. Spilman. In his talk
he spoke on “seeing the invisi
ble” in the Bible. He spoke of
the ability and inability of people
to interpret and understand
passages of the Bible.
Friday morning Dr. Bur
roughs spoke to us. He also is
very prominent in Baptist af
fairs throivghout the South. His
talk, besides being witty, was of
real value in telling the true
goodness and greatness of
W'omen.’
On Tuesday evening, Decem-,
ber 3, Dr. A. R. Newsome, of the
North Carolina Historical Com
mission, talked to the Interna
tional Relations Club on “World
Peace.” It was his purpose
throughout the address to im
press upon his hearers the need
for peace among the nations. He

Irish Folk Play To Be
Given By Freshmen
As its first venture this year
the Dramatic Club presents the
freshman class in Lady Greg
ory’s comedy of Irish country
folk—“Spreading the News.”
The play, which is in one act,
shows the potentiality of gossip,
and presents a number of excru
ciatingly funny situations caused
by this same factor in the lives
of the simple country folk. Sev
eral members of the cast have
already shown their ability in
the freshman stunt, and others
have been showing exceptional
dramatic talent in the rehearsals
which have been going on for
the last week. In the play an
innocent man, Bartley Fallon,
played by Sarah Lockwood, is

reached Sanford and were taken
to the church, where Mr. Battin
arranged the seating of the
choir.
The service began at 7:30 and
was composed entirely of music.
Mr. Battin played a prelude
“Sonata” by Widor, after which
the congregation joined in the
singing of a hymn, “It Came
Upon the Midnight Clear.” The
choir then sang a Christmas an
