Sarah was in charge and began the pro gram with a niOBt interesting talk on books. The contrasts of fered by the books which are plaoed'next to eaeh otlier in tlie library are often amnsing; for exauiplc;, “Toni 8aA^'yer” anO;| “Little L 01* d Fanntleroy.’’ j Sarah said that she often tlioiiglit how interesting it would bo for these characters which are so unlike to meet. Al though on first thonght this seems impossible, it is possildo for all book people to meet in the mind and imagination of the render. Madaline May spoke o n “Biogvapliies,”'' giving as her retxson for liking tliem the fact that the people in them have really lived and met the same sort of exi)eriences which people have had through the ages. She mentioned “Di.sraeli,’- “Napo leon,” and “Eijizabeth and Es sex” as the moat interesting of modern biographies.

De.spite the ex tremely cold weather, both learns looked Ihoronghly warmed up for the conflict. The lamecocks. wrapped in their blankets, kept Jlap]>ing them about as if impatient to show their real gameness ufter the lefeat of.the previous day. On either side were the class boo.st- ers yelling and vieing for the supptH't of some occasional “neutral” who dropped by to see the game. The Soplumiores game w-as certainly an imjirovement over their last gan»e which was doubt less duo to more teannvork and ]dayiiig in their own positions. (Iieered by the exctited yelling of the clas.s supporters, they scored three points in the first lialf; Green, Preslar, and Howell, s(^oring one each. • Ilavris and Sawyer played tlieir usual'good game, liarvis tenaciously lield Imr ground, and the Junior-Senior forw>ird line was unable even to threaten the ■ {Oontinued on paffe four) ^ The University of North Carolina Glee Club, which has gained a w^ide reputation in tj.ie last few years for its ability to 1‘ender a Jiigh class ])rogram and 'JO'.it well, has been secured by ■fA ',J^^^«nior Class of Meredith Vlege for a concert to bc‘ given .on the evening of December (5 in the ilered'th Auditorium. The preparation of a unique l)rogram is in progress for this occasion. The Glee Club, which last y(!ar cromied its success by being declared the winners in the ' Soutliern lnter(;ollegiate contest, has departiid radically from using a type of program sucli us is usually attributed t(» the average college glee ^ chib. Tliis season they are using sO' lections which typify the folk songs of various nations of the world, supplementing this with a group of old liturgical nuisic, and concluding the program with a group of songs by modern Ameri(ran com])Osers. Professor Harold S. Dyer, head of the ilusie Department and dii-ector for the club, has (lom* a great deal to add to the already extensive repertoire of the club, and much time is now being spejit in perfecting range, tone (juality, enunciation, iiiLer- pretation, and ensemble. From all reports tlie present glee club is doing finer work tl»an has ever )>een done in the past, and it is hopi'd that ihe people of Ualeigh will not miss this opportunity to liear them sing.

Every goal was certainly well i\'(m, as tlie Junior-Senior team played unusually well, showing much improvement since the Tnnior-Sophomore game. Martha Davis, center forward for the Frosh, scored all three goals, the first two coming in the ftrst iialf, and the third in the last half.' Ayscue, Senior center for ward, was all over the field; but with Davis against her, she had no clian.ce for a goal. Gore iilso played a fine game, as well as E.

DR. WELLS SPEAKS TO BARBER BIOLOGY CLUB Dr. B. W. Wells, Professor of Botany of State (College, gave a most interesting lecture on “The Patchwork of North Caro lina’s Gi-eat Green ^uilt” at tlu* regular monthly meeting of tiie Barber Biology Club Thurs day evening, Novembc^r 20. Tlie lectui-o was illustrated witli slides of the various flora and other natural piienomena which make up the dilferent “patches” of the Nortli Carolina “quilt.” Many of these slides were pic tures which the sjjeaker had taken during his ratiiei- exten sive botanical r(‘sear-h. He showed a number of'the balsam and Jjpruoe speciinens growing west of Asheville, and, then, moving along the moun- t^xins, showed some of the flora found there. The “Mountain Fly Trap,” a lovely s]>e4-imen belonging to the lily family, was es) »ec ia I ly in teres t i ng. Then, speaking of the tr‘es, Mi\ Wells said that water is tlie most iin- poi-tant of environmeiitiil fac tors and means much frn- tin; d(v velopment of foresls. I'he speaktn- then moved on to the Sandltills and from there lo tlie coast, i,llustrating the fact, as he said, that “tlie vegetation )f any l)art of (be stat(; is vi*ry much lik(‘ tlm patchwoi-k of a iuill.‘’ Tli(‘ meeting adjonrneil at the conclusion of th(‘ lectnrc* whicii will he r?membere] not only for the interesting study of Ihe flora of the state but lor the enter taining i^ersonality of the .speak er.
