I>.v The IJev. A. H. Prince
The Seventh Street Presby
terian church, Charlotte, which
was vacant for almost a year
on the retirement and resigna
tion of Dr. Robert P. W;, che,
who had served as its pastor for
over a half century, has select
ed the Reverend Sudor Q.

ago, Selden was merged with
Gillespie Normal, located at
Cordele, Ga., where Mr. Mitch
ell was serving at the time of
the call to the Seventh Street

sermon. Dr. Hargrave urged
the young men who are candi
dates for the ministry and
Christian work, to read them
selves full, to pray themselves
hot, and to let themselves go.
It might be of interest to note
that the Ministerial Club idea
in many of the Board’s schools
today, originated here at Har

to Brainerd Institute on No

leg in the Brainerd match, is
recovering from his injuries at
his home in Columbia.
With the football season end
ed, our double Basketball Quint

ful year for the Harbison cag-
ers.

TO UNVEIL PORTRAITS OF
COLORED RECORDERS
OF DEEDS
Washington, D. C., Dec. 9.—
(ANP) Government officials
and leaders in all walks of life
will participate in a mass un
veiling of oil portraits of former
Recorders of Deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia, the unveil
ing to take place in the Govern
ment Auditorium on Constitu
tion Avenue, December 15.
Portraits of the former Re
corders were done in oil by
three prominent artists employ
ed by the Works Progress Ad
ministration. Among the ar
tists was Miss Velma Buckner,
a Washington girl and a gradu
ate of the Dunbar High School,
Howard, and Columbia univer
sities. She lives at 1129 Fair
mont Street, Northwest. The
other two artists were Wads
worth Moore and Alan Fla-
velle.
Many of the paintings,
though copies from old, faded
pictures and newspaper prints,
were skillfully done so as to re
semble a true likeness of the
Recorders painted. L. G. Hy
man, an expert in photography
and a grandson of the late John
A. Hyman, Congressman from
North Carolina, aided in the se
lection of photographs from
which the paintings were done.
The first Recorder of Deeds
for the District was Simon
Wolf, appointed May 16, 1869.
Upon his resignation in 1878,
George A. Sheridan, a Negro,
was appointed. Since that time,
all of the Recorders, with one
exception, have been Negroes.
The paintings of each Re
corder will be unveiled by some
one well acquainted with the in
dividual. The paintings to be
unveiled and those to perform
the ceremony are as follows:

torney Maurice Rosenberg;

the occasion, (jadets from three
high schools will serve as at
tendants and ushers.

NOBEL PRIZE WIN,
PLAY TO BE PRESENT,
BY ALDRIDGE PLAYERn
Hampton Institute, Va., Dec.
5,—When the Aldridge Players
on December 12 present Eugene
O’ Neill’s brilliant play, “Beyond
the Horizon,” in Ogden Hall,
Hampton Institute, this group
of dramatic-minded Hampton
workers will be offering for the
second consecutive year the
work of a distinguished prize-
winning dramatist.
Last year, their production of
Odets’ stirring drama of perse
cution in Nazi Germany, “ ‘Till
the Day I Die,” came only a few
weeks before that brilliant
young dramatist had been gra
ciously entertained in New
York; and after, having been
presented with a prize for his
outstanding work, he was, it is
said, commissioned to go to one
of the movie centers to super
vise the filming of his plays.
This year the Aldridge Play
ers selected Eugene O'Neill’s
play, “Beyond the Horizon.”
After the3' had been working on
it but a few weeks, announce
ment was made in Europe that
O’Neill had been awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature tor
1936, the second American to
gain this unusual distinction in
the history of the Nobel Prizes.
The cast for the coming pro
duction includes, among others,
Mrs. Minnie Rothschild Whit
ing, secretary-treasurer of the
group. Miss Charlotte Moton,
Mr. Lorenzo White, Mr. Robert
Battle, Mr. William Moses, Mr.
Charles Flax and Mrs. Emmy
Churchill Wilson, this year’s
president of the group. The
last named three have the lead
ing roles, the last two named
were members of the Hampton
Players during their college
, , years, and all the members of
The whole was a grand cast have appeared a num
ber of times in serious dramas.
Each player is particularly fit
ted for his role; so the produc
tion promises to be exceptional.
The staging and scenery are
being supervised and created by
Mr. William Moses of the School
of Building Construction, an
expert in designing and inter
ior decoration. Miss Helen
Brown, associate professor of
public speaking in the Depart
ment of English, is the director
of the ])lay.
SWIFT MEMORIAL COLLEGE
(Continued from Page 2)
Teachers College, is directress.
Under the verj’ capable lead
ership of Miss S. L. Cecil, Dean
of Women, the 3'oung women of
the college put on a very suc
cessful “Year Party” drive
early in the fall for the benefit
of beautifying their “Y” room
and dormitory. Charming touch
es of interior decoration and
renovations here and there
truly reflect a charming person
ality and the pride of all parti
cipants.
Joint Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.
meetings are held on every
third Sunday. These meetings
are very interesting, since both
groups of students have an
equal share in expressing their
opinions on timely topics.
Just as Caleb and Joshua said,
“Let us go up and possess the
land,” let us press forward to
the goal. Faith and prayer to
God will move mountains. Any
donation towards the desired
goal, even the least, will merit
for the giver our gratitude.
A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
M. B. MARKS.
On Sunday, November 2, a
service of commemoration and
consecration was observed by
the Sunday school. A special
program was provided by the
Board of National Missions of
the Presbyterian Church for
the observance of worship, and
for reverence to be shown
those adventurers in faith in
the persons of Whitman,
Spalding, their wives and oth
er missionaries who dared to
blaze a trail to the frontiers of
the Oregon Nez Perces Indians
in the latter part of the 19th
century.
The largest enrollment in
years has brought the new ad
ministration face to face with
a new, vital project, namely,
that of a building program. The
present hope is that new build
ings will soon be seen to loom
up on the campus to accommo
date the over-crowded condi
tions, as well as to answer the
institution’s call to progress.
In the footprints of Dr. Will
iam H. Franklin, the founder
of Swift, and Dr. C. E. Tucker,
present President Emeritus,
whose chief accomplishment
was to standardize the curricu
lum of the College, the new
Apostle and Administrator con
tinues in efforts to promote a
better and greater Swift.
