and His Hopes for Future
Growth in State
The alumnae had their annual ban-quet
last Thursday evening. Many
of the alumnae were present and the
senior class haying been invited ap-peared
In full force. pre-sided
and speeches were made by
three of the alumnae, representing
the three decades that have passed
since the founding of the college.
Mrs. Eleanor Waston represented
the first ten years in the develop-ment
of the college. At this time
there was a great need of proving to
the state that the women should be
educated. In the new democracy in
education the women had just started
to emerge from oblivion and take
their place in the thought of the gen-eration.
As a consequence there was
no definite place in the scheme of
things for the educated women and in
a sense they were forced to make
their own place or fit themselves for
the places just opening. The college
motto had much to do with this early
struggle. Service, in the social and po-litical
world as we know it today was
not organized and clear cut as we
find it now, but was rather a field
to be tackled in a pioneer spirit.
The second decade had for its
representative, Miss Ruth Fitzgerald.
She told of the allegiance to the col-lege
and to the motto. Not only al-legiance
to "Service" through the
organized means that were appearing
but through the homes and the daily
contact with people.
Mrs. Rosa Blakeney Parker told of
the progress of the last ten years,
of the work done before by Dr. Mc-
Iver she spoke of as the foundation,
but of the work done by Dr. Foust
as the building. She talked of the
PROBLEM OF NEAR
EAST DISCUSSED
Dr. John D. Hicks Talks in Chapel
on This Problem
QUESTION STILL UNSETTLED
Near East Open Door Between
Europe and Asia Causes Jeal-ousies
of Nations
(Continued on Page Four)
"The central problem of the Near
East question is one of contact be-tween
two different races and civili-zations,"
declared Dr. John D. Hicks,
professor of history in his discus-sions
at the chapel hours Wednes-day
and Thursday of "The Interna-tional
Problem in the Near East."
Dr. Hicks stated that the subject is
a constant quantity, that it is as old
as history itself.
"Since the Near East is a doorway
through which contact from Europe
to Asia has been gained," said Mr.
Hicks, "the greatest trade routes of
the world may be found there. It is
the spinal cord of the British Em-pire,
the way by which England
reaches India, and Western Europe
makes contact with Russia."
In addition to the troubles arising
from so many peoples using the same
doorway, the attempts on the part of
different European powers to ex-ploit
the Near East have added to the
complications, declared the speaker.
This region is rich in oils, minerals
and agrcultural products, and it is
over these that conflicts have arisen.
The complexity of the population
that has arisen here has not lessened
the troubles. "There probably are
more creeds, faiths, and nationali-ties
in this region than in any other
in the world. Jews, Turks, Arabs
and many other races of people may
be found. These people are mingled
together in hopeless confusion, jeal-ous
of each other, and each anxious
to free himself of the rule of the
Turk," said Dr. Hicks.
The Turkish rule is notoriously in-efficient
and incapable. People re-turning
from Turkey speak of the
good qualities of the Turk, said the

New Practice Home for
Home Economics Seniors
Is Ready for Occupancy
Wednesday Marks Formal Opening—Home is
Modern in Every Respect—Contains Eight
Rooms—Is Artistically Furnished—Seniors to
Have Practical Training in Household Manage-ment—
Miss Shaffer in Charge.
Wednesday afternoon from four
to six the faculty and students of the
Home Economics department enter-tained
at a tea the faculty to formal-ly
open the new Practice Home
which has just been completed.
About one hundred and fifty guests
called during the evening.
On being shown over the home one
of the guests remarked, "Every-thing
looks as though it just grew
here." This is quite a compliment
to Miss Blanche Shaffer and Miss
Mollie Ani.e Peterson, who have had
complete charge of all the furnish-ings
and the planning of the home.
The ideas of Misses Shaffer and
Peterson were submitted to the
architects and these were utilized in
the planning of the home. The plan
of the home was exhibited at the Na-tional
Society of Vocational Educa-tion
at St. Louis last year.
The home is quite modern in ev-ery
detail. It is built of red pressed
brick in colonial style and contains
every housekeeping convenience. The
Home Economic! Seniors have been
divided into three groups and each
group will spend at least as many as
6 weeks during the year at the home.
The purpose of the home will be to
give the seniors first practical work
in household management. This in-cludes
time studies in order to save
energy and steps in doing house-hold
processes, as meal preparation,
dishwashing, and cleaning house.
They will also have work in Home
Cookery and table service. This will
replace the work in the large labora-tory
and give them the actual work
in a home. The laboratory work in
child care will also be included in
their work. Children of different
ages will live in the house and be
studied from the standpoint of feed-ing,
mental development, play and
the right habits.
Work in the home will be super-vised
by Miss Shaffer, Dean of the
School of Home Economics. There
is an entrance hall, living room,
dining room, pantry, kitchen, bed-room
and sleeping porch downstairs.
Upstairs are four Urge bedrooms,
making altogether eight rooms, with
a large attic and basement in addi-tion.
The walls of the home are

Miss Clara Walton, of Winston-Salem,
Tells of Work for Reynolds Tobac-co
Co Is Now Working at Kress.'
Miss Clara Walton, of '•Winston-
Salem, was the speaker at the Sun-day
Vesper service on last Sunday.
Miss Walton has been an industrial
worker most of her life and was one
of the eighty-eight industrial girls in
the United States who attended the
first session of the Bryn Mawr sum-mer
school for industrial women in
the summer of 1921. She gave an
interesting account of her experi-ences
working for the Reynolds To-bacco
Company. She told of the
hours, the general rules which gov-erned
the girls as they worked and
spoke especially of the Reynolds Inn,
a place provided for those girls who
do not live in Winston-Salem.
Miss Walton also told of her work
at the present time, which is at one
of the Kress stores. She went in as
a sales girl at the notion counter and
she talked for a few minutes of
some points in salesmanship. After
holding this place for some time, she
was promoted and is now doing gen-eral
office work in the Kress store n
Winston-Salem.
In addition to the account of in-dustrial
work Miss Walton described
the work of the Y. W. C. A. among
the girls whom she knows. She told
of the six different clubs and of the
parties, luncheons and picnics plan-ned
for the pleasure of these girls.
Mrs. Parrott, Industrial Secretary
at the Greensboro Y. W. C. A., and
Miss Cora Dunnivant, who was the
Industrial delegate sent by the col-lege
organizations to the Blue Ridge
Conference last summer, were
guests of the Association at this
meeting.
The music was also a special fea-ture
of this meeting. There was a
violin solo by Mr. Smith, from
Greensboro, a solo by Molly Mathe-son,
and an anthem by the choir.

NOTABLE ADDITION TO MUSEUM
Dr. Dimock, First Woman Doctor in
North Carolina; Unusually
Successful Surgeon
Mrs. R. W. Murray of Greensboro
has lately presented the college with
a picture of and biographical infor-mation
about, Dr. Susan Dimock of
North Carolina.
In the Boston Medical and Surgi-cal
Journal of June 10, 1875 we find
the following account of Dr. Dimock's
life.
"Dr. Dimock was born in Wash-ington,
North Carolina, April 24,
1847, and was lost in the wreck of
the steamer Schiller, May 7, 1875.
In her short life of twenty-eight
years she acquired, in the face of
many obstacles, an amount of medi-cal
knowledge and surgical skill such
as few possess; and to these qualities
she added a maturity of judgment
and power 'of reasoning which are
quite as rare. Her father was
born in Limington, Maine, and
having obtained a collegiate educa-tion
by his own exertions, was in
1931 head-master of the Rozbury
High School. He afterwards taught
school in North Carolina, where he
studied law and married a southern
lady.
Until the age of twelve, Dr.

Plans Discussed
At the first mass meeting of the. „
year the statistics for the 1928 edi-tion
of "Pine Needles" were elected.
Two plans were submitted by the an-nual
staff, one of which was used
last year. This plan, that of choos-ing
the prettiest, wittiest, best dan-cer,
most athletic, and best all-round,
is the ' one most generally used by
college annuals and was used in
"Pine Needles" last year. In the
1922 "Pine Needles" Frances Wat-son
is remembered as the prettiest
Marie Bonitz, wisiest, Virginia Ter-rell
and Virginia Wood, wittiest
Nolle Folger best dancer, and Ruth
Wilson Best all-round.
The other plan suggested called
for the Superlative Types, Beauty,
Culture, Grace, Wisdom, Wit and
Charm. This plan was used in the
1921 issue of the annual, and was
adopted by the students to be used
again this year as it is considered
much more distinctive.

'JOLLY JESTER," HEALTH
CLOWN, VISITS COLLEGE
Faculty, Students, and Training
School Children Learn What to
Eat for Healthy Bodies.
Among the recent visitors to the
college was the "Jolly Jester" health
clown and ventriloquist, who delight-fully
entertained and amused the
girls of the college and the children
from the Training School at chapel
on Monday. The "Jolly Jester"
works in co-operation with Cho-Cho,
whom the old girls here will remem-ber
from last year, and a young wo-man
who gives the "airy Play." All
three of these are employed by the
Child Health Organization which is
co-operating with the U. S. Public
Health Service and U. S. Bureau of
Education for the purpose of getting
the youth of the land interested in
the value of health and the means of
obtaining it
His chief topic was eating or rath-er
what to eat for strong healthy
bodies. His horse, Dobbins, who ac-companied
him, eats oats—"have
horse sense and do the same"—
said the Jester, though he
affirmed that any cereal would
do as well as oatmeal. While
Dobbins was fed and rested, Bossy
his cow, came and asked that he tell
the children to drink her milk, which
is really the only drink for children.
He must have brought a whole barn-yard,
for, suddenly a peculiar noise
was heard and he hurried off to fol-low
the cackling hen to her nest He
returned in a few minutes with a
freshly laid egg. Suddenly a
knock was heard and the Jester
ushered in Minnie Spinach, who
lamented the fact that she was
so unknown and unliked by the boys
and girls, who was speedily cheered
by the promises of the children pres-ent
to eat her as well as her cousins—
beet tops and cabbage. After a
violin solo played both on violin and
body another of the Jester's friends,
namely Charlie Carrott, entered and
begged of the crowd that they should
like him and also his brothers, Rob-ert
