ATTENDS N.E.A. MEET
Mrs. Durand Is State President
of the Association of Deans
in North Carolina
INDIVIDUAL EMPHASIZED
N. C. Stadent-Fscolty Cosncll Orgaal-satton
Especially Interests the
Deans' Conference
Of especial Interest to the students
of N. C. C. W. is the trip of the dean
of women, Mrs* Sue Stone Durand, to
Texas to attend the National Associa-tion
of Deans. Mrs. Durand left on
February 19th, and was awaj from the
college about ten days.
She spent two delightful days In
New Orleans, and has become an en-thusiastic
admirer of this old city,
speaking of its being charmingly
French and of odd, crooked streets.
"One has the feeling that one Is in a
foreign city," she said. With great
enthusiasm, Mrs. Durand declared that
it earned its title of "America's most
interesting city." Its qualntness and
charm grips one. Its other name, "The
Crescent City," has been given it on
account of the levee, which is crescent
shaped about it. At this time of the
year It Is especially beautiful because
of its green grass.
The National Association of Deans
is a part of the .National Educational
Association. The deans' division and
the superintendents' division met to-gether
and made up the administrative
division of the N. E. A. The N. E. A.
represents four types of schools: the
university, the college, the normal, and
the high school. Both men and wom-en's
colleges are represented in the as-sociation.
The convention lasted for
four days; the headquarters were at
Hotel Baker, in Dallas, Texas.
Mrs. Durand went as the state presi-dent
for the Deans' Association in
North Carolina. She acted as chair-man
of the national membership com-mittee,
and also as chairman of 1'ie
hospitality committee for the entire
convention. Twice during the meeting,
she spoke. On the first night, the meet-ing
was sponsored by the membership
committee, and at this time, both Mrs.
Duranfl and Dean '^eonurd, of Illinois
University, spoke on State Organiza-tion
Work.
During the course of the meeting,
Mrs. Durand spoke on the Organiza-tion
of Student Life. Our college has
the largest per cent of trained workers
In the Student Life Department of any
college In the country. The good or-

(MS PIANO RECITAL
Miss Sue Kyle Southwick of the
Music Department Pleasing-ly
Entertains Audience
PROGRAM WELL RECEIVED
;
Miss Sue Kyle Southwick, of the
Music Department, gave a very enter-taining
piano recital Friday evening,
March 4, at 8 o'clock in the Recital hall
of the Music building.
Despite the bad weather, many peo-ple
from town were present besides the
students and faculty members. The
audience thoroughly enjoyed the pro-gram
and at Its close were eager for
more. But Miss Southwick played only
one encore, thus leaving a pleasant
I-still-want-some-more feeling with her
hearers.
She was lovely In a beaded yellow
georgette evening dress which enhanced
her brunette attractiveness. Graceful,
calm, poised, she played in a masterly,
sympathetic manner.
Her interpretation of the selections
and her technical rendering of them
were Just as they should have been and
left nothing wanting. The numbers
were mostly of the more modern music,
but some Chopin and Llact balanced the
whole nicely.
The program which Miss Southwick
rendered In such pleasing fashion fol-lows:
Sarabande—Rameau-MacDowell.
Tambourln—Rameau-Qodowsky.
Etude; Prelude; Ballade, G Minor—
Chopin.
Viennese Dance-—Frledman-Gsertner.

The Senior Class Invites the Members
of t|ie Club for an Informal Affair
la Adelphlan Hall
Under the auspices of the senior
class, the Davidson Glee Club appeared
in the college auditorium Saturday
evening at 8 o'clock.
A varied program of popular and
selected numbers was presented and
enthusiastically received. In addition
to songs by the chorus, R. E. Wilson
and It. E. Lowrance sang solos. After
Lowrance's "In the Garden of Tomor-row,"
he sang as encore "Just a
Wearyln' For You." Wilson's numbers
were "Just a Little Bit of Consola-tion,"
"Take This Rose," and an en-core,
"Blue Heaven, You, and I."
The symphony orchestra, composed
of 12 pieces, was particularly good;
however, it is believed that the Wild
Cat Serenaders must have put the
"glee" in the club.
After the concert, the members of the
club were entertained informally by
the senior class in the Adelphlan ball.
Would that glee clubs cume oftener
than once a year!

WOMAN'S-KIRKLAND
COMBAT ENDS IN TIE
Echoes of "The Big Parade" resound-ed
on the campus last Wednesday when
the inhabitants of Kirkland challenged
those of Woman's to mortal combat.
Eager contestants, aided by lovers of
fighting* from other dormitories, quick-ly
threw up breastworks of snow and
molded icy cannon-balls. Phoebe
Banghn for the Kirkianders and Thelma
Mills for the Womanitea directed the
manoeuvera. As the zero hour ap-proached,
the campus bell tolled slowly,
and immediately volleys of balls were
discharged from both camps.
The Kirkianders followed their brave
leader over the top and strove valiantly
to demolish the opposing fort; the
Womanitea returned the assault. All
was pandemonium for a time: onlookers
were lustily cheering their favorites on
to -victory, while the favorites were
striving toward that same goal. The
casualties were so numerous that a short
halt had to be called to secure reinforce-ments.
This intermission was used for
a' combined attack upon the spectators,
who fled in dismay.
At the beginning of the second half,
the golden banner of Woman's was seen
floating beside the crimson bandana of
Kirkland. But not for long; with Dot
Pickard heroically" in the lead, the
Womanitea made a successful charge for
the recovery of their standard. All
things being eqnal, peace was declared,
and the armies melted away, leaving as
mute evidences of the struggle a few
scattered dustpans on a trampled field
of snow. y
JUNIORS ARE NOW
THE CHAMPIONS IN
N.CCW. SWIMMING
A .
Defeat Seniors in the Third
Meet of Season's Swim-ming
Contests
One of the cleverest and most elab-orate
programs ever given at the
French clubs was "La Chauve Souris,"
presented under the direction of Dr.
Meta Helena Miller last Thursday
night in the auditorium. "La Chauve
Souris" is really a Russian company
playing in Paris. Niklta Bailed, the
director of the company, was played
by Ruth Bellamy, who was very clever
In her introductory speeches.
The first number was "Le Canigou,"
a song of the Basque shepherds, sung
by Misses Hurt, Eagles, Noble, Get-slnger,
Marks, Simmons, Absher, and
Scurlock, in peasant costume.
The next number was "Faience de
Qulmper." This was explained by
Belle Hockaday, who used real Qulm-per
china for illustration. Ruth Mc-
Farland and Laura Orleans, who were
the central figures in a large china
plate, sang a duet, "En nous tenant par
le petit doigt," and then stepped from
the plate to do a folk dance.
The third number, "The Sower," ex-plained
by Myra Webb, was a repre-sentation
of the Republic of France,
danced by Kitty Jones. .'
The last number, "A Gothic Tapes-try,"
was the most beautiful and elabo-rate
of all. Miss Nellie Reavis as a\
medieval lady, explained the act, and
MellleBoggan and Viola Scurlock were
the troubadours. The background was
a large Gothic tapestry with the fol-lowing
figures: Robin, Ruth Butler;
Marion, Elizabeth Smith; The Cheva-lier,
Edrle Colwell. The figures stepped
from the tapestry and gave a very well
acted pantomime.
