The Carolinian [March 13, 1920]

              THE CAROLINIAN
NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN
VOLUME II GREENSBORO, N. C, MARCH 13. 1920 NUMBER 22
"MICE AND_MEN" COMING
At N. C. C. April 8—With Marguer-ite
Clarke's Rival.
The woman's movement is to have
another demonstration here on our
campus. Our Seniors are not the
perfect ladies of 1850, who kept al-bums
bound in morocco leather and
wrote verses that embodied yearn-ings,
but are women of today. They
have overcome fear and customs and
are going to present the well-known
play of "Mice and Men" on April 8.
This play has been given before
many audiences since its creation
and has had noted actresses to ap-pear
in it. One of Marguerite
Clarke's best roles is found in her
interpretation of "Peggy."
Scenes that contain double or
dual situations are doubly interest-ing.
Peggy is the innocent promo-ter
and cause of dual situations
which make the play most delightful.
The cast and the coaches are
working every day to give us the
very best performance possible.
Come one, come all, to see and hear
Julia Cherry rival Marguerite Clarke
as "Peggy."
VERA WARD PRESIDENT Y. W. C. A. FOR 1920-'21
MR. LINDSAY GIVES
DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM
Wednesday we had the pleasure
of hearing Mr. Lindsay, one of our
greatest living poets, give several
readings from his own poetry. The
first was a song entitled "King
Solomon and the Queen of She-ba."
Mr. Lindsay was king part
of the time, queen part of the time,
and a dancer the other times. The
audience sang the refrain. We were
in turn oxen, swans, ponies, sons,
and sweethearts.
Next Mr, Lindsay sang the story
of "Daniel in the Lions' Den." The
story was supposed to be told by a
colored preacher. The preacher saw
in himself the attributes of Daniel.
This time the audience clapped and
sang "Daniel kept a praying, Lord
save my soul." We also had to
growl like lions. Then Mr. Lindsay
read several of his poems on the
Moon. One poem was entitled
"What the Hyena Said About the
Moon." Another was "What the
Gardner's Daughter Said About the
Moon." His last selection was a
poem written to his three-year-old
niece.
There was a hearty applause
when Mr. Lindsay finished, an ap-plause
quieted only by the promise
that he would be with us again sev-eral
times.
Mr. Cook and Mr. Highsmith have
been out of town this week.
Y. W C. A. has always been on*
of the most vital organizations on
the campus. In the future we are
expecting it to play a more vital
part in the life of every girl and are
sure that we have chosen the girl
who is capable of adding to the suc-cess
of our Y. W. C. A. in the fu-ture.
Since her Freshman year she has
adjusted herself to college life, mak-i
ing good in her work, but never let-1
ting her studies interfere with.her|
college activities. Vera has a natural
tendency to do things, a tendency
which all her classmates and co-workers
in society recognize. She
was a successful officer of her class
in her Sophomore year and has been
elected as a debater in the Spring
Inter-Society debate. She is quiet
and unassuming, a girl of big
thoughts; yet recognized as having
sound judgment and marked ability.
Cheerful, sympathetic and big in
character she fills a big place in the
life of the campus and the heart of
each of us.
Success in her former achieve-ments
make us confident that a big
success will be hers—and ours.
INVITATIONS FOR JUNIOR-SENIOR
ISSUED FOR MARCH 20
Late Saturday afternoon each
member of the Senior class was sur-prised
by receiving the following in-vitation:
The Junior Class
requests the honor of
your distingufshed presence
at Dinner
on Saturday, March the twentieth
The Hut
The invitations were written in
the old-fashioned script used by our
grandfathers and have created much
excitement and interest among the
members of the Senior class. For
several years this important social
event has been given up on account
of the war, which makes this year's
Junior class even more anxious and
happy over being able to give their
Seniors a real, "sure-enough" good
time. Each Junior and Senior will
be expecting her "friend," but until
March the twentieth no further se-crets
can be divulged.
WILL YOU WIN ONE?
Big Drive for Spring Sports—Girls
on Field at Noon and Evening.
Everybody's attention is now at-tracted
by the fine display of tennis,
hockey and basket ball arm bands
and the big N. C. C. W. monograms
on the A. A. bulletin board. Under-neath
there is a sign, "Will you win
one?" In a meeting of the associa-tion
the other day it was decided
that only those girls who are on win-ning
teams may have arm bands,
and only those on varsity teams may
have monograms. That means -that
only twenty girls will receive bands
or monograms. Had you realized
what distinction it will mean to be
a recipient of one of them? Evi-dently
the Sophomores mean busi-ness
by the way they fill the hockey
field at noon and evening. The vol-ley
ball, tennis and basket ball courts
are well filled. A new volley ball
court is being made. Get on the
fields quickly so you won't have to
stand oft* and be a wistful onlooker.
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION
COLLEGE WOMEN MEET
Lois Wilson N. C. C. Representative.
The joint meeting of the Southern
Asfio ciat'nn of College Women was
held in Charlotte March 12 under
the auspices of the Charlotte Chapter
and the Girls' Club of Charlotte
High School.
The object of this conference,
which is held every year, is to in-terest
high school girls in attending
college. Though each college has a
representative this conference is not
to influence the girls to go to any
special college, but to a college
which will help her to find her place
in the world affairs.
Lois Wilson, president of Student
Government Association, was the
representative of N. C. College.
HAMLIN GARLAND
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Lecture on the West.
"Life on the Middle Border" was
the subject of Hamlin Garland's lec-ture
to the people of Greensboro
Saturday evening in the Auditorium
of Greensboro High School. Mr. Gar-land's
lecture was an education in
itself and his graphic method of pre-sentation
made a leasting impression
on his audience.
The purpose of his lecture was to
paint a picture of the WesterwaM
movement. He vividly described the
causes for the movement, the dan-gers
and perils of the journey, the
life in the wilderness, the struggle
for existence—t thrilling, romantic
story from beginning to end.
It is hard to say what was the
most striking in his lecture, but
there were, three incidents which
pleased the audience immensely. A
reading, "Mrs. Ripley's Trip," por-trayed
the determination of the west-ern
woman to revisit her old Eastern
home. His dialect poems gave an
insight into the manners and life of
the pioneer. His description of
spring and of the prarie afforded a
picture of the natural life of the
greet West. Mr. Garland's lecture
left in the minds of his listeners the
idea that the development of the
West is one of the greatest romances
of the world.
Inter-Society Debate Postponed.
The regular spring Inter-society
debate has been postponed on ac-count
of the spring holidays. This,
however, only gives the debaters
more time to let their subject "soak
in," and on this account we are ex-pecting
more emulation and argu-ment
than ever.
