PAGE FOUR Nons Open New Year With Fine Program The Nonpareil Literary Society held its first meeting at four o’clock on Tuesday, September 12. The pro gram was begun by a devotional and a song. The program was very inter esting and was composed of an inter esting variety of numbers that were all very entertaining. Frances Sny der gave a piano solo which was fol lowed by a reading by Helen Batson. Seven girls then gave a short revue, Fashions of Yesterday and Today, that was enjoyed exceedingly. A book review was then given by Virginia Isenhour and the entire meeting was closed, by the society song. Among the visitors and old mem bers who were present was Miss Lou ise Wilkins, who gave an impressive violin solo; Miss Kathrine Woodrow, who sang “Danny Boy,” accompanied by Mrs. Wilkins, Sr., at the piano and Louise Wilkins playing the obli gato on the violin. Miss Woodrow also made a short talk reflecting the Non spirit. Several members of the faculty were present as well as many friends of the society. Several new students were received into the society and many other visitors were well im pressed with the society and express ed pleasure at the program. Miss Wynne, the former vice-pres ident, was unable to return and Miss Jessie Owen was elected to fill her place. The Nons are anticipating very successful year and are hoping to keep the society spirit at top notch during the forthcoming year. ment Should Be Abolished.” Julia Maddry and Pearle Justice repre sented the affirmative; Grace Garrett and Theo Crane, the negative. Sarah Cooper and Jo Edith Anders sang several popular songs with Jerry Ma- haffey at the piano, Ruth Davis, the violin, and Bill Logan, the drums. Nine new members were added to the roll. The society welcomes all new girls who wish "to join. MEANDERINGS | AROUND I T.T T»T ^hilomathian’s Begin New Term First Meeting of Euthalian Society Quite Successfu The Eus started the new scholastic year off with one of the most inter esting programs that has been seen in the Eu hall in many a year. It is expected, however, that the programs this year will all surpass most of those that have been given hereto fore. From the zeal and preparation manifested last week it was hard to realize that it had been three months since they had last met as a society. Although the majority of the visitors were newcomers one could, here and there, spy an old familiar face in the crowd of eager faces that paid close attention to the program. The program opened with a song followed by an excellent oration by Nathan Brooks. Mr. Brooks drew a great deal of applause from the audi ence by bis masterful oration. The debate was the next event on the program and the audience seem ed very interested in th forensic fray. cide. The query was in regard to a secre tary in the president’s cabinet whose Beginning its schedule of work for the ensuing year, the Philomathian Literary Society held its first meeting ing in the society hall on Friday even ing, September 13th. The hall again rang with the same enthusiasm as witnessed last year. Both old and new students crowded it to overflow ing. The first number on the program was a comical reading by T. Carl Brown. The subject, “Seventeen,” was one of keen interest to those present, and was presented in a fas cinating manner. This was afterwards followed by a debate: “Resolved, that North Caro lina should levy an ad valorem tax on real and personal property to aid in the support of an eight months school term.” The affirmative was composed of Wade Baker and Wil liam Beal, while the negative was represented by Frank Dale and James Cherry. Although the affirmative put up a very convincing argument in favor of the question, the negatives’ attack was so overwhelming that the judges rendered the decision in fa vor of the negative. The next and last number was a declamation given by C. L. Weston. His subject was “Temptation,” and was spoken in a creditable way. Between the debate and the decla mation Mr. Jordan, new student, was called upon to exhibit his talent ed hands at the piano. The music was much enjoyed, and Mr. Jordan was called back again for an encore. After the program all new stu dents were given a chance to say a word or two. Several of the old Phis were back and they too were given a chance to speak. This here is the beginning of a now infamous column that was begun away back last year when men were men and freshmen rats and not little brothers.

Dr. Robert M. Logan very fittingly represented another phase of our Southern Baptist Work as he spoke Thursday on “The Other America,” or “Argentine, the Land of Tomor row.” Born in Londonderry, Ireland, and educated in London, Dr. Logan has been a missionary to Argentine for thirty-one years.

Briefly re viewing the geography and industries of the country, Mr. Logan concluded his contrast of the two Americas: Protestant North America spells “God;” Roman Catholic South Ame rica spells “Gold.” The speaker gave interesting examples of the “Chi tianized paganism” of Roman Ca olicism, comparing it to a “wild ger” loose among the people.

For some unknown reason the judges favored the affirmative. The debate showed quite a bit of prepara tion and interest. A declamation con cluded the regular program, and Dr. Moore followed with a short talk, several of the faculty made talks and then the old students held sway. Many talks were made, all of which reflected the live and growing spirit of Euthalianism.

The hall was filled until stand ing space was hardly available.

This project will get under way soon, it is hoped. The highway commission of the State has not said so definitely, but it is inti mated the route of the new road will be somewhat different than the pre sent, this to avoid many of the dan gerous curves and also to reduce the grade at certain points. The completion of this project will be hailed with delight by all who have traversed the old road in wet weather. Don’t get up until the breakfast bell rings. Moral — practice speed. You will need it later on. Don’t think chapel speakers are flattering you when they tell you that you are a beautiful bevy of girls. Be sure you go to town to shop and not parade. Make good friends with your study schedule, to which you will be intro-1 duced in a few days. Don’t form the habit of falling down the steps. It’s a trite thing these days. Don’t get surprised at anything you read about yourself in this fa mous publication. A joke is an hon or to your home town. Never think of going home. You can go there when you cannot go anywhere else. If you can “shoot a line” and get .a “drag” with the professors and au thorities by all means do it and also tell us how it is done. Observe class precedence and break all former records in case there are any. Never miss one of these dignified proms, better known in this part of the country as receptions. You may find some excitement at one of them. Do not look up when you are in church. You will have a pain in the neck and that will give, strangers the wrong opinion of you. —The Spokesman.
