Education Class Holds Banquet The Elementary Education class at Catawba College, of which Mrs. T. E. Johnston is instructor, held their fifth annual banquet on Sat urday evening at the college hon oring the 'teachers from the City schools who cooperated in the work of practice teaching. They were assisted in receiving by Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Omwake and Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Hadley. With "A Century of Progress in Education in North Carolina” as the central theme, the invita tion', decorations and place cards d - played this motif. Red, white and blue streamers were hung from the chandaliers and a large North Carolina flag was draped from the ceiling. The banquet was lovely with its tall red candles and beau tiful red roses. The place cards were quills, representing pens used in olden days, and the programs represented the old time albums, fastened with a clasp. Miss Martha Forney Bolick, to-! astmistress, greeted the guests and Miss Neely McCubbins welcomed the teachers, to which Mrs. Fred Henry from Henderson school re sponded most graciously. Each member of the class gave a short toast to the teacher who assisted her with her practice teaching. Miss Rose Catherine Lyerly welcomed j the principals from the city schools j and Miss Hazel McSwain welcom ed the members of the Alumni who werejpresent for the occasion. Miss Elizabeth Belt, of the class of 1933, responded. In his usual stimulating and enthusiastic man ner, Dr. Omwake spoke especially to the class membership and to the Alumni, encouraging them to! higher endeavor. l ne main ieature oi tne program was a short skit, written and pre sented by the members of the Ele mentary Education Class, en-, titled "Light Shines on Educa-j tion.” Miss Ruth Andrew rep resented Light and she described very vividly how much progress Education has made in North Caro lina in the last century. To illus-, trate how backward Education was! during the tragic years following; the war, a typical schoolroom ofj that day was presented. Miss Viv-j ian Hoffman represented the staff,: untrained school teacher, typical of ; that day. A scene in a modern school was then presented to show the progress North Carolina has made in her school system. Miss Dorothy Gordon was the modern^ school teacher representing Miss Berry de Nena. The members of the class were her pupils. The guest speaker for the even ing was Miss Juanita McDougald, from the State Department of Education, Raleigh, N. C. The theme of her talk was "My Treas ure Chest,” in which she showed how various incidents star-- •'ut in the life of a yong woman ar.;. con tribute toward strong fine charac ter formation. Miss Deletta Honeycutt and Miss Canille Tem pleton furnished sprightly music for the session. The teachers, principals and members of the Alumni who en joyed the occasion were: Misses Mcatta Bringle, Mary Moyle, Anne Sherwood, Virginia Goodman, Mary Emma Wetmore, Betty Bennett Henderson, Ruth Pierce, Mary Dunham, Jane Honeycutt, Annie Bostias, Jessie Edwards, Ives Smith, Annie Lamb, Elizabeth Belt, Mary Farabee, Catherine Brown, Helen Murph, Lillian Wright and Lena Boley, Mesdames Rhea Goodman, M.

Summer Session Will Open On June Eighth Plans are rapidly being complet ed for the tenth annual summer session of Catawba college. The first summer session will open June the eighth and close July the seven teenth, while the second session will! open July the twentieth and end August the twenty-eight. The faculty of the sessions will be composed of the regular Cata wba faculty and specialists from the public school field. In this group are Miss Nina De Berry, principal Salisbury city schools, Miss Frances B. Marsh, and Mr. Walter R. Schaff, principal of Maiden pub lic schools. Courses of instruction include subjects required for all types of certificates and for college degree requirements. Courses in litera ture, social sciences, and music will be offered as usual. Judging from the many inquiries that Professor Hadley has received,! the enrollment for the two sessions will be very satisfactory. Inquiries have been received from New Cork, Delware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Flor ida. Many students from other colleges are expected for the ses sions, as well as teachers. Senior Play In Final Stages Of Rehearsal Variety is the keynote of the Senior play, "The Queen’s Hus band.” The old description "from the ridiculous to the sublime” is remarkably portrayed in the role of the King. As he changes his mien from the checker-playing figurehead to the true ruler of his people the audience will be held spellbound. lhe production stair has a very difficult job on its hands, espe cially those concerned with pro perties and sound effects. When the revolutionist uprising begins ( and the firing opens, the bugle calls j whistles and drumbeats, will add; atmosphere to the tense situation j of the plot making the horror and; bloodshed more realistic. The set ting remains the same throughout the play. It is the private office of King Eric VIII in the palace ot a fictitious kingdom located some where in Europe. Mr| Sherwood wrote "The Queen’s Husband” as a satire on the American visit of Queen Marie, of Roumania, several years ago. The comic element is cen tered in the character of the King who is dominated by his wife’s fancy . . . until he . . . Well the best thing that can be told now is that the play will be presented in dress rehearsal on Friday night, May 22, for the Blue Masque members and will be ready for public presenta tion on Monday, May 25 th. Don’t fail to see it! Lady Took Cardui When Weak, Nervous “I can’t say enough for Cardui If t talked all day,” enthusiastically writes Mrs. L. H. Cald- -- well, of Statesville, N. C. ; "I have used Cardui at f intervals for twenty-five •'isr i years,” she adds. “My . & ^ trouble in the beginning pwa 1 was weakness and ner vousness. I read of Car dui in a newspt»per and --—L iecided right then to try it. It seemed jefore I had taken half a bottle of 3ardui I was stronger and was soon up and around.” Thousands of women testify Cardui bene fited them.
