Not bnly have they furnished amuse ment for the society’s members, but also they have revealed much unsuspected talent within the society. At the last Astro meeting the society received the unexpected privilege of hearing Mr. Steele of Southampton, Mass., a musi cian of note, play a series of popular songs. After this, the novelty group, of which Miss Evelyn McCall is chairman, pre sented a rather humorous inter pretation of a program ar ranged by the fifth grade of the Crooked Creek Consolidated School for the meeting of their ' "(C»nUnuid'^pig»/our) SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY COURSES The Sunday School Study Courses have been a most successful enterprise for the past week.

A large interested audience, con sisting of the French students and friends from Raleigh and Duke University, awaited the speaker, and listened attentively all during the evening. The subject was “Une Annie de la vie de Balzac,” and the lecture was delivered in French, and il lustrated by slides. Marguerite Mason, president of the French Club, gave a few words of welcome in French, and introduced the speaker. Monsieur Bouteron said that he was going to speak for a while about Honore de Balzac, the man, although he was a great writer and novelist also. The year of his life which he used was 1835. The year before, Balzac had met Madame Han- ska, a Russian countess, whom he was to court for 18 years arid finally to marry. The speaker told of the excit ing time when Balzac had to dis guise as a woman, take a ficti tious name, Madame Vieve Du rand, in order to escape the na tional guard. ..Later on Balzac '’ (Conlinuedon'paga two) MANY VISITORS ATTEND FAIR AT ST^ COLLEGE Annual Celebration of State En gineers Attracts Large Crowd The fourth annual celebration of North Carolina State College School of Engineering, which lasted for three days, came to a close on Saturday night with the “Grand Brawl,” brilliant carni val dance at the Frank Thomp-; son Gymnasium. This event in cluded many notable attractions, tut the one which attracted most attention was the Fair, which was scheduled on Friday from 2 until 9 o’clock. Every department of the School of Engineering was open for inspection, and visitors were ushered through the shops and laboratories under the direction of student guides, who explained the various engineering proc esses. One of the outstanding exhib its was the State College War Memorial model, which is a complete work by J. D. McCall, of Florence, S. C. The model contains seven chimes and is one-tenth the size the tower will be when completed. This exhib it won first prize in the engi neers' parade Thursday night. The architectural exhibits are claimed to be the largest ever held in the South. The Beaux Arts Institute of Design recog nized 20 of the students’ designs last year, and the recognition from this institute is the zenith in the work of an undergrad uate in architecture.
