The Thanksgiving service, which is traditional, is one of the
outstanding events of the college year.
This evening at eight o'clock
the college auditorium will be
come the "Hall of Blue and
White" when the Philomathian
Literary society presents its
53rd Anniversary program.

Philomathians, will follow the
general plan of past celebra
tions. It will include a debate,
orations, declamations, musi
cal selections, and* will be
climaxed, of course,’ with the
grand finale.
Despite the fact that there
are fewer Philomathians than
in years past and that war con
ditions have, caused many
handicaps, the Phis have not
been discouraged :in-. their
year's work nor in their plans
for the Anniversary prograrn.
Many Phis will be present only
in spirit tonight, because in
body they will be fighting for
their country, for human free
dom, and for those ideals of
Truth, Purity, and Fidelity that
Clios and Phis all over the
world love so dearly. But e'V’ery
Clio and Phi will pause tonight
and silently pay tribute to their
brothers in service.
Raeford Turner, of Leaks-
ville, will preside tonight. With
him at the dais will be Harold
Spangler, Lawndale, secretary,
and Lewis Coleman, Greens
boro, S. C.
The marshals for the oc
casion ' will be Bill Edgerton,.
chief, Parke Sherrill, Clarence
Stirewalt, and Bob Chapman,
Preceding the program the
Clios will honor their Phi broth
ers with the formation of the
Clio-Phi emblem on the little
circle at 6:30.
All the students, faculty
members, and friends are in
vited to enjoy this merhorable
evening in the life of Philo-
mathia.
