MASQUERADERS
PRESENT PLAY
Give Arthur Piaero's Fare* "The
Magi.trate"
POWELL TAKES LEADING PART
Supported by Parker, Powell, Hatha-way,
Woody, Gaaton, Warren
and Wilkint
Saturday evening "The Magi-strate,"
a farce in three acts by
Arthur W. Pinero, was presented by
the Hasqueraders. Lavinia Powell
starred, carrying off the part of the
Magistrate with great success in
realistic character portrayal and
with ease and naturalness. Iola
Parker played the leading woman's
part and she, too, displayed her usual
dramatic ability in forceful acting.
Good team work was attained be-tween
the two. As the Magistrate's
step-son, Mary Collins PoWeU Up-held
her reputation for good acting.
All the characters took their parts
well and the play as a whole was
commendable, and appreciated by a
fairsized audience.
The play is one of the famous
Court series of farces. The Mag-istrate,
a middle-aged bachelor,
marries a young widow who through
fear that his love might not be as
strong as otherwise tells him that she
is five years younger than she really
is. This necessitates that her son,
who is an average boy of nineteen
and very much In love with his mu-sic
mistress, appear to be fourteen
years old.
When the boy's godfather arrives
from India, in order to prevent him
from revealing the boy's age, the
mother, Agatha Posket, takes him to
the Hotel des Princes, a "sporty" and
questionable restaurant. |n uhe
meantime the boy has nduced his
stepfather ,the Magistrate, to make
a furtive visit to the same place. But
while the crowd remains too late the
establishment is raided by the police
and all, except the boy and the
Magistrate who have escaped, are
taken to the Magistrate's own police
court Mr. Posket sentences them
to seven days imprisonment; but
through the presence of mind of a
second Magistrate they are released.
As she is liberated, Agatha Posket
confesses her own and her son's age.
Mr. Posket offers Cis, his step-son,
one thousand pounds on the day
when he weds his music mistress,
Beatie Lomlinson.
The play closes as they all drink
to the health of the newly-engaged
couple, Cis and Beatie.
The'cast of characters was as fol-lows:

The summer schools of the North
Carolina College for Women grow
bigger and better every session, but
the one of 192S will have many ad-ded
attractions.
Due to the requests of many am-bitious
teacSers an additional session
of summer of six weeks has been
added to the summer school calen-dar.
The first session will begin on
June 13 and ends July 24, and the
second one begins July 25 and closes
September 4. The attendance has
steadily grown for the past five
years, increasing from three hundred
and twenty-eight in 1918 to nine
hundred and ninety-seven in 1922
and the one of 1923 promms to be
still bigger Since the erection of
three new dormitories and many im-provements
in administrative build-ings
more than eleven hundred
teachers can be accomodatod each
session. As a result of additional
courses and efficient instructors,
courses will be offered to meet the
needs of every teacher, principal,
supervisor and superintendent in the
States Due to these changes every
one is required to be a graduate of
a high school, but men may be ad-mitted
this summer the same as wo-men.
The most important and perhaps
the most beneficial and progressive at-traction
offered at summer school
will be the courses for principals,
supervisors and superintendents on!y.
The college has been very fortunate
in securing three of the prominent
and authoritative educationists in
their field, of the country, for these
courses, namely Dr. N. L. Engle-hardt,
Dr. Charles A. McMurray and
Dr. Lida B. Earhart These courses
will be based upon the needs of
these particular officials, and should
prove very advantageous to both the
college/ and students.

Freshmen Defeat Sophomores in First
Game of Season With Score of 8-7
On Monday afternoon the first
game of the baseball tournament was
staged between the Sophomores and
Freshmen and ended with a score of
8-7 with the first year team the vic-tors.
The game was closely contested
throughout and the victory was taken
by a very small margin. Both teams
were unusually good for girls base,
ball teams. The Sophomores were
probably the better team in fielding
and made fewer errors than the
Freshmen. However the latter men
had it all over the Sophomores in
batting.
The Sophomores were first at bat
and started the game well when Davis
brought in a run in the first inning
with two men down. The next
three turns at bat netted no runs for
either team. In the beginning of the
third inning however the Sophomores
added two more runs to then* first
making a total of 8. Again the
score rested until in the last half of
the first Overton with two men out
knocked a home run that seemed to
start the Freshmen on their runmak-ing
spree. When the third man was
down the score stood 4-8 with the
Freshmen in the lead. The Sopho-more
however rose to the occasion
and proceeded to annex 4 runs for
themselves making the score 7-4. But
the Freshmen were not to beat at
their own game and 4 seemed the
chosen number so they added four
more to their previous count The
Sophomores took the bat last and
failed to add to then- score the run
or runs that would have tied or
ed the Freshmen's record. The last
half of the seventh inning was not
played as is the custom in such
cases.
'The game probably showed up no
stars except perhaps Overton and
Heffner of the first year men at the
bat Heffner also pitched a good
game striking out one man and pass-ing
no Sophomores to her base on
balls. Weddington equalled her on
the mound for the Sophomores. She
struck out two men and walked as
many. Davis was good both as catch-er
and as batsman for the second
year men.
The Line-ups:
Freshmen:
A. Taylor—Catcher.
Z. Heffner—Pitcher.
E. Young—-1 Base.
E. Cate—2 Base.
L. Bollard—8 Base.
H. Hall—Shortstop.
L. Overton—L. Field.
Williams—C. Field.
K. Wolfe—R. Field.
Sophomores:
S. Davis—Catcher.
E. Weddington—Pitcher.
K. Hyder— 1 Base.
M. Piatt—2 Base.
W. Barwic—8 Base.
K. Wilson—Shortstop.
E. Williams—L. Field.
W. Campbell—C. Field.
D. Wakefield—R. Field.
Score by innings:
Freshmen—000 044—8.
Sophomores—102 444—7.
The game was umpired by Mr.
Eagle, of the History Department
At a meeting on Friday night the
remaining officers of the Athletic
Association were elected for next
year. These, with Ina Mae LeRoy,
who was elected president several
weeks ago, will compose the Cabinet
for 1928-24.
Lucy Tate, of the incoming Junior
class, will be Miss LeRoy's right
hand man as vice-president Miss
Tate came to the college this year
from the University of Tennessee
entering here as a Sophomore. De-spite
her comparatively short time
here Miss Tate has become very act-ive
in class affairs. In basketball
she played jumping center for the
Sophomores.
Irene Nicholson, secretary elect is
also of the incoming Juniors. Miss
Nicholson has been prominent in
class athletics both last year and
this. She was on the hockey team of
the blues and whites for both years
and was class athletic manager the
past term.
Sam Davis is to care for the fin-ances
of the association for next
year. Miss Davis has been promin-ent
in athletics in her two years at
the college, having played on her
class hockey and baseball teams both
years. She has made a great success
as hiking sport leader this year, mak-ing
hiking one of the most popular
sports. Miss Daisy has been athletic
manager for the Sophomore class
this year. In the Field Day activi-ties
last year she won third place.
On account of the great amount
of work connected with keeping up
with the hiking of the college it was
decided to have two hiking leaders
for next year instead of one as here-tofore.
Mary Louise Carr and Ava Stout
are to fill these offices next year.

THE HESS-DOBKIN
CONCERTISGIVEN
English Pianist and Ros.ian T
are Hoard
PROGRAM IS GREAT SUCCESS
Many College Girl. Hear Arti.t. In
Grand Theatre Thursday
Evening
Myra Hess, English pianist, and
Dimtry Dobkin, Russian Tenor, were
presented in the final concert of the
College Course in the Grand Theatre,
Thursday evening, April 19. Dobkin
opened the program with an aria
from "Andrea Chanier" by Giordano.
He has a voice of agreeable and
pleasing quality, and he sang with
intimate understanding and consid-erable
fervor. He was heard also in
"Why" by Kudrin, "Serenade" by
Arensky, "Muchi" by Greve-Sob-lewsky,
and the Flower Song from
"Carmen" by Bizet He was beau-tifully
accompanied by Miss Alleine
Minor, of our piano department
The first number given by Myra
Hess was Sonata in C Sharp minor,
op. 27 no. 8. (Moonlight Sonata) by
Beethoven. She gave a group of
very modern numbers which were in-teresting.
"The Dew Fairy" by
Frank Bridge, a recent composition
which is very delicately descriptive
and "Before Dawn" by Walter
O'Donnell, which is an effective piece
of "virtuoso writing." The group of
Debussy numbers, Le Cathedrale
Engloutine, La Fille aux Chevaux
de lin and Minstrels, show various
aspects of Debussy's style and Miss
Hess played them with fluency and
a well developed technique. Her last
group was of Chopin, a composer
whose name appears on every ac-complished
artist*s program. The
Chopin she played included a Noc-turne
Hi C minor, Three Mazurkas,
in F sharp minor, A minor and B
flat major, and Ballade hi A flat
major. Her playing was very con-vincing.
It was filled with poetry
as well as fire, melodic serenity and
"dramatic turbulance." She gave
encores comprising several Chopin
favorites.
The Theatre, was filled to its ca-pacity
with' members of the faculty,
students and the visiting High School
students here for the music contest
These were admitted as guests of
the college.
COLLEGE STUDENTS
STUDY FARM LIFE
Back-to-Farm as Farm Hands and
Kitchen Helper* to be Tried in
The farm is coming into its own.
Early in June a unique Back-to-the-
Farm experiment is to be undertaken
by the T. M. C. A. and the T. W. C.
A. jointly in MacPherson County,
Kanfffift Its object is to interest stu-dents
in rural conditions and country
life. As farm bands and cooks for
harvest hands, college men and wo-men
from several colleges and uni-versities
of Kansas and Colorado will
go out to study at first hand actual
conditions that confront the farmer
and his wife.
In speaking of the experiment yes-terday
in New York, Miss Winifred
Wygal likened it to a similar use of
their vacations by another college
group who went out as workers in
factories, shops and restaurants to
investigate industrial conditions two
years ago.
"The men will go as harvest hands
with the regular hours and work of
the typical hired man," said Miss
Wygal. "The girls will go directly
into the farm house kitchens, cook-ing
for the harvest hands or doing
whatever the farmer's wife wants
done. Men and girls alike will work
for wages, but they will all be there
because they believe agricultural in-dustry
is at the root of all our eco-nomic
problems. They are convinced
that college trained men and women
have a responsibility toward finding
a way out"
The project will run from June
9th to July 81st Week-end confer-ences
to share experiences will be a
feature. Production and its cost
labor saving devices, community
leadership and rural recreation will
be under discussion.

GIVES ORGAN RECITAL
New Organ is Opened Monday Night
at First Baptist
Ch.reh
The organ recital on Monday
night, April 16, at the First Baptist
Church was greatly enjoyed by a
Urge audience. The recital was giv-en
by Professor George Thompson,
of our organ department assisted by
the Baptist choir and local artists.
The program was under the direc-tion
of Professor Bates, of the voice
department
The new organ is a three manual
one with chimes. It is a Pilcher
make and is beautiful, both; archi-tecturally
and musically. The pro-gram
opened with Shelley's "Hark,
Hark, My Soul," with Mrs. McKnight
and Miss Creech taking the solo
parts. This was followed by a duet
Quis Est Homo, from Rossini's
"Stanat Mater," sung by Mrs. Cald-well
and Mrs. Benbow. The next
number, Hear Ye, Israel, from Men-delssohn's
"Elijah," was sung by
Margaret Bedell, senior in voice at
this college. The Inflamatus from
Rossini's "Stabat Mater," a soprano
aria, was beautifully sung by Mrs.
Sykes. Mrs. McKnight and Mr.
Bates sang a duet, Be Glad, Oh Be
Righteous, by Hosmer. The closing
number was the Gloria from Mozart's
"Twelfth Mass," and sung by the en-tire
chorus and soloists. The second
part of the program was given by the
organist
Professor Thompson began the
second part of the program with
Hymn of Glory, by Pietro Yon. Fol-lowing
this was a group of quiet
numbers, At Twilight, Romance Sans
Paroles by Bonnet and the slow
movement of Dvorak's New World
Symphony. The Marche Funebre et
Chant Seraphique by Guilmant was

FOLK DANCING TO BE
GIVEN BY BURCHENAL
Will Give Intensive Coarse at Sum-mer
School in Folk Dances and
Singing Ga:
The summer session of the North
Carolina College for Women has been
fortunate in securing for a week the
services of Miss Elizabeth Burchenel,
who will give an intensive course
in some of the folk dances and sing-ing
games from the original collec-tions
made by her in various coun-tries.
American schools owe a great debt
to Miss Burchenal who is largely re-sponsible
for having placed in the
hands of American teachers this col-lection
of folk dances which is prov-ng
such s valuable adjunct in physi-cal
education, in music, in kinder-garten
work and in general educa-tion.
A Urge number of the stan-dard
books on folk dancing, both
from the artistic and the educational
viewpoint have been written by Miss
Burchenal; "Folk Dances and Sing-ing
Games," "Dances of the People,"
"Folk Dances of Denmark," "Amer-ican
Country Dances" and "Folk
Dances from Old Homelands" are
the results of Miss Burchenal's con-tact
with groups of people in this
country as well as in Europe whose
traditions she has ressurected. She
has selected those dances best fitting
American conditions and has intro-duced
them under the most difficult
conditions of American life in the
most congested districts of New
York. She has personally trained
five thousand public school teachers
who have in turn passed it on to
more than three hundred thousand
school children.
A few years ago Miss Burchenal
was invited to Ireland by Lady
Aberdeen to give a course of lessons
to a selected group of teachers and
recreation workers. At the comple-tion
of the course she was given a
great ovation in recognition of her
services.
Miss Burchenal, who believes that
dancing is a language expressing
what is pure or true or base snd de-graded,
strives and succeeds in mak-ing
it speak a language that is true
and wholesome. The plans for her
summer course will dnqlude much
that is valuable for playground
workers, for the teachers of physical
education in the elementary and
high schools and for recreation and
social workers with groups of men
snd women. In teaching the course
the play element will be emphasised
throughout The steps and figures
are easy to learn and pass on. No
previous training is required for
participation in the course. Miss
Burchenal will not only personally
teach the courses but will conduct
each season u an actual demonstra-tion
how to use folk dancing as real
play. Those who know what Miss
Burchenal can contribute both in in-spiration
and in practical assistance
are confident that the cause of phy-sical
education and recreation will
receive a tremendous impetus from
her course here this summer.
Miss Wilkins, Miss Ehrn-feld,
Mrs. Kate Burr
Johnson, Miss Win-chell,
Dr. Carroll, Miss
Haden, Mrs. Bowman,
Miss Harrington, and
Mr. Hobffood Will
Speak.
