BE ATTRACTION ON NEXT FRIDAY Play V ill Have Distinguished Cast; Charles Norfleet to Make His Debut CAROLINA PLAYMAKERS j Prunella, the first play to be pro duced by the class in Play Production, will be presented at 8:30 Friday even ing, May 30. This will be Chapel Hill's first Studio production, and it will be the first night performance ever given at the Forest Theatre. The famous old love story of Pierrot and Pierrette will be enacted in Prunella, but it will receive added charm and interest through the originality and cleverness of the authors. Prepara tions for accommodating a large audi ence have been made, and a number of people from out of town are ex pected to be present The cast appearing in Prunella will be one of unusual distinction. The play provides exceptional opportuni ties for portrayal of deep emotion, and many of the parts require espe cially difficult acting. Several actors of promise -will make their debut in Prunella, while many others will be seen who are already known for their dramatic ability, The title role of Prunella will be played by Miss Sue Byrd Thompson, the author of "The Younger" and an actor in many Playmaker productions. The part of the hero, Pierrot, will be taken by Theodore Fitch of Roches ter, N. Y., who achieved distinction in his undergraduate days as a leader in dramatic work. Pierrot, together with Scaramel, whose part will be taken by Charles Norfleet, is the leader of a band of mummers, or vagabond players, whose bizarre costumes add a fantastic air to the play. Misses Margaret Jones, Kitty Lee Frazier, and Erma Green, all of whom have been connected with the Playmakers before this, will take the parts of the three maiden aunts, Prim, Prude, and Privacy. An unusually interest ing part in the play will be that of "Love," played by Henry Wheeler. During certain parts of the play Mr. Wheeler represents a statue; in fact, he has to remain absolutely motion less for more than two hours in all, iviiinh 1 nrt iron ttmf t.hp celebrated Ma donna of "The Miracle" is required to hold her pose. A. B. Brady, al prominent member of the university (Continued on Page 4) The Condition of Dr. Chase is Improved - TTr t j, ' , .1 Dr. Harrv W. Chase. President of I the TIniversit.v of North Carolina, who last week was taken suddenly ill and operated on for appendicitis, is stead- ily improving and recuperating in Watts Hospital in Durham. Dr. Chase was so unfortunate as to undergo another operation which will necessitate him remaining in the hospital for a week longer. . He is restim? verv comfortablv now and for the last day or two has been allowed to receive friends. It is the hope of the student body as well as his other friends that he will be asUwed to return to Chapel Hill on or about May 30.

Preparations for Senior Week were announced some time ago. The pro gram is attracting a great deal of interest, as evidenced by a reouest from the New York "Timns" pictures of the annual flag raising. which took place Monday. be forward ed to the Metropolis for publication in the Sunday Rotogravure -Section. It is possible, also, that the same picture will appear in the Times' Mid week Pictorial" and that it will be distributed by the World Wide Photo Service. Preparations are now being made for the annual Senior class banquet, which will take place at the Univer sity Cafeteria. Chapel Services were dispensed with Monday, so that students could attend the Senior flag raising. This is the first time that "swal low-tail" collars have been worn by the graduating students. It is be lieved that the custom, inaugurated this year, will probably be followed in the furture. One of the big events of the week will be the Senior banquet which will be held at the University Cafeteria on Tuesday night at 0 o'clock. All who attend are assured a good time with plenty of fun and eats in store j for tlem Several very interesting speakers have been procured for the series of Davie Poplar meetings which have become a yearly occurrence that is looked forward to with pleasure by all Seniors and remembered by them as being among the most enjoyable events of their four years at the Uni versity. The calendar of events for the week has been completed and is published elsewhere in this issue of the T3r Heel. GRAIL PRESENTS Y WITH FIFTY DOLLARS Election of officers for next year tnd tb. :r'i"f' f a scholarship prize for tre "i u i athletes were the if sin ft : "S ' the mating of th" i.raer ! lie -; neia sunaay at the "Y." This was the last meeting the Grail will hold this year. It was decided that the Grail should set aside $25.00 for next year as a prize to the freshman ath lete who makes the highest marks on his work. By athlete, is meant any freshman who makes a numeral in any one sport. It was thought that in this way, the Grail could offer an Additional inducement to freshmen to study hard and thus work for the general good of the campus. $50.00 was given to the Y. M. C. A. CURTAIN IS PULLED ON THE HOME Graduate Manager Unable to Secure Game for 1924 Commence f n f Tf Tateness at Carolina This year for the first time in the history of baseball at the University there will be no commencement games - 01d alumtd can come back ana nave a new suuject to uuk. uuuut since tiic m uu voivima- T JlKillia 6 r.,i: v..!. classics have Decome a tning oi tne past, On the schedule there appears for June 10th a game pending with Geor. gia Tech. Mr. Woollen stated Thurs day that he had made every possible effort to get a team here for the corn- mencement games. Georgia Tech., the University of Georgia and the University of irgima all refused to schedule a game as late as commence-- ment because it forced the team to keep in training too long. Carolina has already struck trouble this year because of a long trip sche- dukd lata m the season. Several C., May 27, 1924 G. W.JOHNSON TO HEAD SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM Report Generally Credited that Greensboro News Man is the New Professor OFFICIALS ARE SILENT While the University officials keep their sphinx-like silence, rumors have been floating around thick and fast as to the plans being made towards re-opening the Department of Journa lism for the 1924-25 session. The re port that Mr. Gerald W. Johnson, now editorial writer for the Greensboro News, has accepted the position has become accredited as being reliable and authentic. The news was released several weeks ago that the Atwood Construc tion Company had drawn plans for a nine room residence for Mr. Johnson and that bids for its erection were being gathered by Dr. Odum. , Tar Heel reporters have been try ing to trace the reports down for sev eral weeks but have been unable to break the silence of those in a posi tion to know. No course in Journal ism was offered in the University during the past year and it has been generally known that the faculty was endeavoring to secure a man capable for the position, and the coming of Mr. Johnson k regarded as highly probable. OLD SOUTH BELL HAS GONE TO ITS REWARD Saturday night, just before the opening hour of the Freshman Smo ker, a harsh metallic clanging, total ly unlike any sounds heretofore heard from that quarter, issued from the belfry of Old South. "What IS if '' v.as the prevailing question. Horrors o relate! , The bell was cracked, even as its antiquated counterpart,, sym bolizing Liberty, had done in Phila delphia in the days when the Univer sity was unborn. Saturday, the old familiar peal has not been heard, and sounds similar to the clanking of a hammer on cast iron caldron have filled the air at times when the venerable old bell was wont to ring. For by the laws of Physics, a cracked bell will not ring! Until repair or replace ment of the bell, the Presbyterian Church bell will be used as a substi tute, ringing on schedule in co-ordination with the electric gongs installed in each administrative building. Va rious students have been overheard in sentimental remarks concerning the sad demise of the faithful old bell, which indeed was the custodian of our hours; our days, and all of Time which we call our own here. Dr. C. G. Mangum has recently been invited to deliver an address at a meeting of the Alumni Association of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa., June 5. He was also elected to the Presidency of this Association. DOWN TIGHT BASEBALL SEASON regulars were unable to make the Southern trip due to the fact that they couldn't spare the time from their books with examination week close at hand. The dropping of the custom . of playing commencement games is a move towards freeing the players from the necessity of keep ing training during examination and in this way gives them more time to devote to their studies. This announcement from the of fice of Mr. Woollen makes it clear that the student body has seen several of the University's greatest athletes play their last game on Emerson Field. "Monk" McDonald and "Cas ey" Morris have completed their four years in their line of sports and will be unaWe to play again next year. "Cart" Carmichael has served the al lotted time and will not, in all proba bility, ever don another uniform for Carolina. 129TH ANNUAL .NCEMENT WILL BFrfiEST IN HISTORY OFViATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Sunday, June 8 Opening Day 11:00 A.

Coker, Kenan professor of Botany in the University, has just returned from a remarkable trip which he and four other members took to South Carolina in the interest of research work for the Botany De partment. The trip was made through the country by automobile and the party was gone a week. The most unusual feature of this trip was that it cost only $78, including $35 paid out for automobile tires, making it perhaps one of the least expensive ever taken by ' a research party. A good deal of information was obtained by -Dr. Coker and his assistants which will be used in additional chapters in his book "Saprolegniacese (with notes) and Other Water-Molds." They also secured many new species of flower ing plants and living shrubs to illus trate the flora of the Caro'tinas. Those accompanying Dr. Coker on his trip were Dr. H. R. Totten, J. N. Couch, J. V. Harvey, and J. H. Wal lace. The party spent some time in Hartsville at the old home of Dr. Co ker. Dr. Coker recently made an inter esting addition to the Botany De partment in the form of a ID-pound lobster which he discovered in a Brpadway restaurant while in New York. The specimem was taken to the American Museum of Nutural History where it was dressed. The lobster is said to be one of the larg est ever seen and is now on exhibi tion at Davie Hall. Miss Annie Neely of College Park, Georgia, has been secured to be as sistant to Miss Cates at the Univer sity Cafeteria for next year. Miss Neely, who held this position last summer, and who is now in charge of the Cafeteria at the 'Asheboro Street School in Greensboro, is ex pected about June fist. No. 57 Wandering Tar Heels to Return and Renew Loyalty to Their Alma Mater JUNE 8 IS OPENING DAY Commencement Exercises Will be Without Base Ball for First Time (By G. E. Wilkinson) The 129th annual Commencement of the University of North Carolina will be the greatest in the history of the State. Many new features have been added to this year's program the most important of which is the home-coming of out-of-state alumni who are expected in record numbers. Old Carolina men will come from the four corners of the earth to re new their impressions of their Alma Mater, to see her marvelous develop ment, and to meet their former "bud dies." Of the 11,000 alumni, 3,700, or 35 per cent, live out-side the State. No attempt has been made heretofore to bring back these wandering Tar Heels in a body, but according tp " Dan Grant, Alumni Secretary, they will be here Commencement by the hundreds. The opening day is Sunday, Juno 8. Rev. Henry D. Phillips, rector of Trinity Church in Columbia, S. C, wiij deliver the baccalauiate sermon at 11:00. A. M. Monday, June 9, is designated as Class Day. The Seniors will form in front of Memorial Hall in the morn ing and march to Gerrard Hall for prayer, after which the Senior Chips exercises will be held.

The marriage will be the culmina- . tion of a romance begun here while the two were classmates. They were graduated in 1922. Both were promi nent in the work of the Carolina Play makers and wrote and acted several plays together. Before coming here Miss Yellott was graduated from St. Mary's in Ra leigh, where she won the Niles medal awarding the Senior rating highest in scholarship. She made a brilliant record here and won a host of friends. For a year following graduT ation she was secretary to Dr. L. R. Wilson, University librarian. She was a member of the fraternity that has since been installed as Pi Beta Phi. Mr. Denny is the son of Mrs. C. R. Denny, formerly of Asheville. Ha has been identified with the Carolina Playmakers since his freshman year in the University. He took over the business management in his junior year, instituted a system of state tours and directed the organization xt the group as a non-stock corpora tion. He was prominent.in other col lege activities, being the only gradu ate of the Officers Reserve Corps here in 1921, from which he was com missioned second lieutenant, assistant manager of the football team, mem ber of the Di Society and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and director of two Satyr carnivals., In addition to his work as manag er and assistant director of the Caro lina Playmakers, which has contri buted largely to the success of that organization, Mr. Denny is an instruc tor in the English department, teach- -v ing a course in play production. Following their marriage tht? cou ple will spend part of the summer in New York state and New England, returning to make their home here.
