Missionary Speaks
On Internment
By Japs In China
^
Miss Floryne Miller, Baptist
missionary to Japan and China,
who was repatriated in 1943 after
being interned by the Japanese
in Shanghai, spoke on the Y. W.
A. Program in chapel Monday,
September 12, and later lectured
to an American history class.
The picture Miss Miller gave
of the internment camp was very
different from the usual murder-
a-day descriptions of such camps.
In her compound, she said, the
internees had meat, fresh vege
tables, eggs, hot running waters,
schools, churches, and even shop
ping servants in the persons of
Nipponese guards.
Using “The Advancement of
Mankind” as the theme for a'bir
ring grand finale, the Euthalian
Literary Society tonight held.,its
56th Anniversary Celebratibri 'in
the college auditorium.
The Nonpareil Literary. Society
will hold Reception next Satur
day night in the two society halls.
Euthalian President Charles
Harris opened the program with
a brief speech of welcome. 'Ae
audience sang “All Hail the Power
of Jesus! Name” preceding the
devotion, given by Norman JFer-
rell. The Rev. John A. McLeod
pronounced the invocation.
President Harris gave Non-Eu’s
pledge of friendship to Glia-Phi.
The Nons and Eus, some 370
strong, made the walls of the audjr-
tprium resound with the strains
of “Hark, the Sound.” Raymond
Wyatt declaimed, and Jimmy
Crisp and Wallace Zimmerman
performed at the piano.
Debate Held
The debate query was Re
solved : That the United States re
move all trade barriers to allow
free exchange of goods with all
countries during the postwar
perriod. On the affirmation, were
Bill Everhart and Stuart Hei-
deck, and on the negation, Paul
Lunsford and Hubert Humphrey.
The Euthalian Men’s Chorus pre
sented several musical selections.
Pat Murphy gave “Charting a New
World Course.” An oration was
presented by John Moore.
For the grand finale, the stage
was decorated to represent the
room in which the United. Na
tions Charter was signed follow
ing the Security Conference in
San Francisco. The flags of the
United Nations were arranged in
an arc in back of a white,
circular table.
Two attendants, coming upon
the stage to make the final
preparations for the signing of
the charter, fell into a reverie.
Through their minds passed the
big events of history which had
made the United Nations Charter
possible. These scenes were acted
out at the front of the stage as
the narrator, Livingston Greene,
recalled the events.
Taking part in the finale, which
was written and directed by Sigs-
bee Miller and Ed Long, were
James Israel, David Raye, John
son Paige, Frank Stanton, Bobby
Hanes, Lee Burch, Bob Brown,
Stuart Heideck, Hugh Fletcher,
Charles Harris, John McLeod,
