"The Boy With the Cart” by
Christopher Frye, has been chosen
for the Dramateer’s entry as a pro
duction play in the Spring Drama
Festival to be held in Chapel Hill,
April 28-30.
District festivals will not be held

tered directly in the Chapel Hill
competition. The Dramateers sub
mitted four original plays for judg
ing. If one of these is considered
suitable, it will be entered in the
original plays division of the Chap
el Hill Festival.

ster” will be given by a faculty cast
in chapel Feb. 24 and 25. Starring

on the 1925 evolution trial in Clin

played leading roles.
Alumna Celebrates
f-Sixth Year
Ninety-
4, Col. 3)
The oldest living alumna of Mars
Hill College was 96 years old yes
terday, February 12. She is the last
member of a family of an even doz
en children who all attended this
college. She is also the oldest mem
ber of Forks of Ivy Baptist Church.
When Mrs. Jackson Clouse cele
brated this birthday, she was sur
rounded by several generations of
descendants and many friends and
neighbors.
A brother of Mrs. Clouse, John
Robert Sams, served as president of
the college during reconstruction
days.
For a person who has seen 96
winters come and go, Mrs. Clouse is
remarkably well. She reads her
Bible and magazines without using
glasses, although she has some dif
ficulty with her hearing.
Mrs. Clouse is the former Eliza
Jane Sams, daughter of the late
Rev. Leroy W. and Alsie Brown
Sams.
On Sararday, March 26, the first
day of spring holidays, Mr. and Mrs.
Harley Jolley will accompany a
group of students on a tour includ
ing points of interest throughout
the eastern part of the U. S. The
cost of the trip at the present time
is indefinite, but whatever the cost,
the valuable information received
from the trip will far out-value the
monetary spending.
The first step after leaving Mars
Hill will be Lenoir where the fur
niture industry of the area will be
observed. Leaving Lenoir the group
plans to visit Winston-Salem for a
tour of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, Wake Forest College,
and Old Salem.
Leaving historical and industrial
Winston-Salem the group will trav

greet the group at Williamsburg,
and at Yorktown they will attend
a lecture.
