BARBER COLLEGE
NEWS
By Joetta Stinson
Z The Chapel exercises this year
have been varied and interesting.
Tuesdays the Student Govern
ment Group have conducted the
exercises. Thursdays “Music
Appreciation” has occupied an
interesting and pleasing hour
during assembly; Fridays have
alternated, having piano and
voice student recitals and ad
dresses from visitors. Other
days have been given to reg
ular devotions led by the Dean
with helpful talks or bits of in
teresting articles. Two morn
ings in the last two weeks little
one-act plays have entertained
the students. The first was giv
en by the 3rd Senior /High
School class and was very ap
propriate in view of coming Eas
ter. “The Laughing Child” typ
ified Christ in all His sacredness
as ever making the children hap
py even though “His time was
far spent” and He found His
sleeping followers in dark Geth
semane. • « •> ;
** The following Tuesday morn
ing the Freshman class presentr
ed “The Crimson 'Cocoanut,” a
farce of one act which which
was written for the purpose.of
making fun of Slapstick Come
dies which are so prevalent now
adays. The plot was well worked
out and the play was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present.
One day recently Miss Kinni
; burgh and Miss Smith accom
panied a group of girls known
as “The Nuts” and “The Taters”
on a picnic to the woods. It was
a glorious sunshiny day, just
the kind Of a day for a picnic.
Everybody was in good spirits
as the long climb to “Booger
Hollow” began. Tempting vio
lets and delightful little stream
lets lightened! the long journey
up hill. Soon a parting in the
earth announced the beginning
of the hollow. Arriving there
fire brigades were instituted and
•progress was being made toward
roasting wieners, making bread
and butter sandwiches, empty
ing pickle and mustard bottles
hll to be culminated with big,
fresh doughnuts, and peanuts
and fruit. All the time “a little
crystal stream did gently flow”
nearby, in soft accompaniment
to the ever crackling fire. Some
body said, “This stream is be
witched, never have I drunk so
much water.”
Wading was suggested next.
As a matter of course every
shoe was neglected and Mother
Earth under the water yielded
herself to happy bare feet. This
diversion ended, separate groups
formed themselves for naps, po
etry reading, and exploration.
Roaming the little crags and
nooks, flowers of all colors and
descriptions, all beautiful, were
gathered and put in beds of
water until the journey home
should begin.
Then the whole group got to
gether and exchanged experi
ences and thoughts of the day,
and 4 few musical selections
ware given to help out in the
day's entertainment. Home
ward bound! It was impossible
to help picking the sweet, wild
violets and honey-suckle. Large
sprays of dogwood were plucked
and brought home. Sweet
shrubs, one of the favorite
flowers, and wild fern all were
trophies of the very happy day.
At 6 o’clock home was reached
and the girls made one dash to
the showers to destroy the day’s
woodsy dirt, but not to lose the
memory of a jolly day in the
woods.
The Second Senior Class of
Barber College gave a musical
comedy entitled “My Spanish
Sweetheart,” Monday evening,
April 4th. The scene of this
operetta is laid in Holland at the
time of the annual tulip show.
The acting was splendidly done
and each character was cleverly
portrayed. A very large audi
ence was present and expressed
keen enjoyment of the play
throughout. Receipts amounted
to about $40.00. The success of
the play was due largely to the
splendid guidance of Miss Es
ther Shaw, as sponsor of this
class, and Miss Nola Shaw, who
played the piano accompani
ments. Miss Esther Shaw add
ed much charm to the music
with her violin obligata parts.
All the faculty went to Oxford
on a recent Saturday to spend
grant} time swimming/boating,
bowling and roller-skating. At
supper time they were absent
from the-dining room because
they were taking lunch at “Ok"
ford Lake.”
The oratorio, “Olivet to Calr
v^ry,” was given on Palm Sun
day while a storm raged on-the
outside. The thunder and light
ning made the climax very ef
fective. And “darkhess came
over the earth” so that the last
part was rendered in candle
light. Miss Mevich, the direc
tor, maintained a calm and com
posed spirit throughout despite
the fury of the elements, arid
the audience remained in quiet,
calm silence.
Mrs. H. H. Doolittle, who has
been spending a while at Bar
ber as the guest of her daugh
ter, Miss Mary Doolittle, teach
er of psychology, left Saturday
morning, but before leaving she
placed two beautiful chande
liers in the College parlor. These
were a gift from Mrs. Doolittle’s
Missionary Society in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. Everybody loved
to have Mrs..Doolittle here and
also is very grateful to her and
the society for this gift.
Campus Day was observed
here on Good Friday. The girls
were divided according to class
es with ..sponsors in charge and
assigned to different parts of
the capipus. Towards evening
the cainpus was an example of
cleanliness and order. A very
nice lunch was served on the
lawn instead of the usual dining
room meal. .> %
The Freshman College class
entertained on the lawn Thurs
day evening in honor of Mrs.
Doolittle and the birthday of
Miss Edwards. All the faculty
were present. An Easter Egg
Hunt was lots of fun. The win
ner of the most eggs received
a little duck as a prize. Then
a dainty lunch of salad and ice
chocolate was served. Mrs. Doo
little and Miss Edwards made
speeches and were heartily ap
plauded.
Easter was a very oeauuiui
dawn, then Sunrise Prayer meet
dawn, then sunrise Prayer meet
ing in the mountains; surprise
rabbits and eggs and greetings
from remembering friends;
roses on all the tables; lilios
everywhere; nests on the din
ner tables; girls all in white;
beautiful services all day;
sparkling sunshine all day.
Mrs. Charles Ccott, from Iola,
Kansas, a member of the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Mis
sions, spent Sunday at Barber.
She made very interesting talks
about China- and Korea where
she visited recently. Vespers
on the lawn with Mrs. Scott in
the center of the group and the
glow of lighted magnolia falling
all around while she told inter
esting stories of these far away
people finished a beautiful Eas
ter Day.
Miss Kinniburgh was called
away Saturday evening on ac
count of the sudden death of her
father, Mr. D. B. Kinniburgh.
Mr. Kinniburgh. was remem
bered by' most of the. girls as he
visited Barber last year. The
girls were filled with sorrow be
cause of Miss Kinniburgh’s ab
sence and a sort , of subdued joy
mixed with sorrow made Easter
more quiet and thoughtful and
more significant in , its mean
ing.
Barber suffered the loss of a
very dear friend and also- the
President of the Alumnae Asso
ciation when Mrs. Rosa Finch
died suddenly Friday evening.
Mrs. Finch was also a faithful
worker in the Presbyterian
church and had planned the
Easter exercises -there. The
funerai was held at her church
on Monday. A choir of Barber
girls furnished the music. Many
floral pieces were given as evi
dences- of her beaeutiful life.
Monday evening the Christian
Endeavor Society enjoyed an
Easter egg hunt on the lawn.
The fun lasted from five to six.
High School girls are working
on the essay , contest introduced
by the interracial Commission,
under the subject -: of “Negro
Progress Since thtfCivil War.”
There are thre^|prizes to be
awarded : $50, $30, and $20, re
spectively. Here’s hoping for
at least one prize for Barber.
Concentrated study is very
difficult now with so much ac
tivity in nature and everything.
The mind can hardly resist
wandering, too.
New study hours during eve
ning recreation periods have

CHERRY STREET CHURCH*
HIGH POINT.
By Lucille Moore
The members of Cherry St.
church listened to a very inter
esting sermon delivered by . the
pastor, Rev. C. A. Washington,
from St. John 25:2. His subject
was: “Jesus and Immortality.”
He said' that 52 Sundays in the;
year should really be observed
as the resurrection day of
Christ. If compared with the
prophets he overwhelmed them
alL He has also taught immor
tality. He showed that no
prophet, priest or king had ever
laid himself in the tomb. We
can only conquer through our
Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.

rendered by the small children.
