ANCIENT HISTORY
"Beside the path about a hundred
feet west of the promontory of Piney
Prospect, lies a smooth, rounded
stone . protruding about eighteen
inches out of the soil. This rock is
streaked with iron rust; which fact
has given color to the famous Drom
goole myth. Dromgoole was a Vir
ginian who came to enter the Uni
versity in 1831, but after quarreling
with a member of the faculty he re
fused to proceed with his examina
tions and disappeared from Chapel
Hill. He was never heard of again.
The myth runs that he and a rival
quarreled over Dromgoole's sweet
heart, Miss Fannie. A challenge and
a duel followed. Dramatically the
duel took place in the neighborhood
SOPHOMORE CLASS HOLDS
ITS SECOND SMOKER
The Sophomore class at its second
smoker, held last Thursday night at
Swain Hall, decided on a definite
number of undertakings to be carried
through in the next ( two years.
Among these was the passing of a
motion to set aside a sum of money
each year with which topurchase a
permanent gift for the University in
1922; the adoption of a resolution to
continue the clean-up week activities
next year which were inaugurated by
the present Junior class; and the ap
proval of a policy which has for its
end a greater spirit of union in the
class.
President McLean acted as toast
master and it was he who first sound
ed the keynote for more integration
in the class. Dr. Wagstaff was
present and in his speech he,contrast
ed the opportunities and life of a col
lege man in his day (1899) with the
opportunities and life of the man in
college today.
W. B. Womble, vice-president of
the class, was the next speaker. In
his speech, he showed that societies,
fraternities, and other organizations,
had a definite place in college life,
but, he said, "These petty lines be
tween us must be blotted out as much
as possible, and we must all strive
together for a bigger and better Uni
versity and for a more active and uni
fied class." He also recommended the
adoption of, a motion to authorize the
tieasurer to set aside all surplus mon
ey each year and place it in a fund
to puichase a permanent gift for the
University when the class graduated.
This recommendation was passed
unanimously, as was a motion which
hoped for greater integration in the
clflSS
John Kerr, president of the Junior
class, then spoke. He briefly outlined
the policies of the present Junior
class, and told what it was trying to
accomplish. He then showed what the
strength and : resources of the class
of 1922 . could accomplish if it worked
as a single unit. Among other things
he expressed the hope that the class
of 1922 would continue the clean-up
week program next year. A motion
was passed looking towards this end.
He further expressed the hope that
the Sophomore class would take ad
vantage of the opportunity offered it
for service in integrating the student
body.
The neXt smoker of the class will
be held later in the spring. At this
time officers will be elected for next
year and other business completed.

of the favorite retreat of the lovers.
Miss Fannie, hearing of the quarrel,
rushed to the scene of the duel, but
she arrived only in time to see her
lover drop dead on the ground, where
upon she fainted and died by his side.
The two were hastily buried together
under the rock. Now the spring a
few hundred feet south of Piney Pros
pect is called Miss Fannie's Spring.
Unfortunately for the lovers of ro
mance facts do not entirely bear out
the popular version of the tale. South
of the Prospect are a few rifle pits

were retreating before four thou

Teach in Summer School
Miss Grace Griswold, a famous
New York actor and theatre manager
will teach two courses in the Sum
mer School. She will give a course on
Dramatization for Children, especial
ly designed for teachers of the gram
mar and intermediate grades. Her

Miss Gris wold's experience covers
many years of professional acting
here and abroad, commencing with

roles from Shakespearean tragedy to
musical comedy under the best direc

For the past five years Miss Gris

University is exceedingly fortunate in
sequring such an able instructor for
this work; this is another step in
Carolina progress, which we prize
dearly.
