Haywood Heads
Dramatic Glub
Officers Are Installed Form
ally During Impressive
Ceremony.
The Dramatics Club has an
nounced its officers for the sec
ond semester. Lucille Haywood
has been selected to serve as
president, succeeding Paul
Meyers. Other officers are
Ralph Jinnette, vice-president;
Omelia Robinson, secretary;
Margaret Greene, treasurer;
' and Shirley Sanderlin, his
torian.
On Monday night, February
17, the new officers were in-
:stalled formally in the presence
of the club members. The in
stallation ritual was written by
Ruamie Carroll Squires, a stu-
■'dent here a few years ago.
frhe new officers took the oath
of office in the presence of
Thaila, Muse of Comedy,
played by Eoline Keeter, and
Melpomene, played by Gwen
iReed. The stage was set to rep
resent an altar, built in honor
iof these two muses erected for
ime occasion on Mars Hill. Be
fore this altar, the four officers
pledged their faithfulness to the
club and their offices.
Miss Haywood then took the
chair, and the regular program
was continued. A play was
presented, "Such a Harmoni
ous Meeting," by Sophie Kerr,
which was first given at the
request of the local Garden
.Club. It was very typical of
any feminine gathering; many
of the characters are well-
known to the students as both
I Garden Club members and
wives of members of the faculty.
The cast was made up of girls
selected by Miss Wingert from
jthe Dramatics department. The
characters were Mrs. Black-
well, Gwen Reed; Mrs. J. W.
!Huff, Georgia Coleman; Mrs.
y. E. Wood, Cecily Anne Laws;
(Mrs. Sams, Omelia Robinson;
Mrs. Coates, Mary Nell Hardin;
Mrs. Lippard, Mcmrine Coley;
Mrs. Ashe Carter, Shirley
JSanderlin; Mrs. Douglas Robin
son, Gwen Potter, and Mrs.
/Rryson Tilson, Lucille Hay-
iwood.
; During the business meeting.
Miss Wingert informed the club
jhat Sir Agressor, an original
play by James Dendy, has
been accepted for presentation
ql the Dramatics Festival in the
spring at Chapel HilL
In early March, the Forensic
Club will go to Charlotte for
j the State Junior College tourna
ment. Mr. Huff is expecting
good results. This tournament
, will officially close the debat
ing season.
The past week-end, February
15, the Forensic Club divided
into two groups: one team went
to Virginia Intermont College
in Bristol, Va., and the other

New Athletic Field
A new athletic field, situat

mond and separated from
the creek by the 220-yard
track, has recently been
sodded. This field will be
completed for field events in
track and for intramural use
this spring. In addition to
the completion of a new
field, the track has been cut
down to a smooth, level sur
face, and the 440-yard track

Orchestra To Present
Annual Concert On
Saturday, March 15
The orchestra under the di
rection of Miss Mildred Gwin
will present its annual concert
on Saturday night, March 15.
The orchestra will carry out
the theme of music from differ
ent countries, with the idea of
a journey around the world to
get acquainted with the peo
ple and their moods through
their music. For example: from
Gilbert and Sullivan, we have
"March of the Peers." This a
rollicking march of the pomp
ous peers. On the other hand,
for a quiet mood, we have a
tone poem by the Russian com
poser, Borodin, which portrays
the steps in the advancement
of central Asia. The name of
this selection is "The Steppes
of Central Asia." Examples of
American jazz will not be lack
ing, however; nor will the
country dances from our Eng
lish cousins.
Those countries which will
be represented through their
music will be England, France,
Russia, Germany, Rumania,
and Amqrica.
