evidenced by their choice of
Davidson College Glee Club and
orchestra, the first outside enter

better than ever this }'ear. Mr.
Craft, present director of the
Good Fellows chorus here, has
been an able instructor to David
son in this line. A concert trip

The first game of the Day Stu

kept all guessing Avho was go

Students snipped the lead from
the Boarders in the last three-
minutes to win by two points.
Even though this was the first
game of the year it was well

ceptionally well, but even at
that the forwards got around
them to make high scores. Beck
McClary was high-point scorer,
shooting 22 points, with Mary
Hubbard, Helen Latimer, Grace
-Hubbard, and Virginia Hubbard
each making 16, 14, 10 and 8
points respectively. The specta

spirit of the afternoon by their
peppy yells.
M’histle ! The game began. The
Day Students got the ball and
with quick passes and accurate
shooting made the first two
points. But the Boarders weren’t
going to be left out so they even

were in the lead 12-10.

The Charlotte Symphony or
chestra, directed by William de
Roxlo, presented its first program
of the season, Thursday, Novem
ber 10, at the Little Theatre to
an audience of approximately 250
])eople. The program included
Mr. de Roxlo's “Spanish Sere

5,” and Bach’s “Aria in C."
Among the thirty-eight mem
bers of the orchestra are two
Queens - Chicora students : Rutb
Martin, violinist; and iMarie W'il-
kinson, l)ass violinist. The blonde
ady whom T. D. Kemp mentioned
in his write-up in The Charlotte
Observer, was none other than
Mrs. Townend, instructor in
English. Mr. Kemp mentioned
“the blonde lady who played
cello” as one of the outstanding
plavers on the program.
An appeal for funds has l)een
made to the girls of Queens-
Chicora to help carry on the work
of the United W'el'fare Associa
tion of Charlotte. The United
W’elfare Association is composed
of seven charity agencies: The
Charlotte Day Nursery, Family
Service Association, Red Cross,
Salvation Army, Travelers’ Aid,
Y. M. C, A. and the Y. W’, C. A.
The drive is being made in order
to help those who are unable to
buv food, clothes and fuel.
Until this year each agency
has made a separate relief drive
instead of seven, and the money
received will be distributed among
the seven agencies in the United
W’elfare Federation, Since there
will be only one relief drive
everyone is urged to give gener
ously to the United Welfare
Federation.

ing which helped many; forty-
two students from neighboring
colleges came to show their in

to fight for this worthwhile cause.
Kerr Taylor and Darby Fulton,
two favorites of students around

the line of inspiration from the
field. iMr. Ta}lor also spoke in
chapel 'I'uesday morning for the

This institute plan will probably
be carried out every fall; it is
thought to be of great value to
all who are interested enough to
take it seriously.
