(Continued on Page Two) REPORTORIAL STAFF "CAROLINIAN" ELECTED Tweaty Able Girls of Three Upper Classes Will Serve—Begin Work Neat Week (Continued oa Page Fear) The reportorial staff of the CARO-LINIAN for next year was elected at a regular meeting of the editors on Wednesday night. Twenty girls were chosen from the three upper classes to serve in this capacity. The girls were elected on the merits of ability in English, ability in individual and co-operative work, and attitude toward college life and activities. The new staff, composed of these reporters and the recently elected editorial staffs, will take over the paper after this week, printing their first edition next week. The following girls were elected as reporters: Juniors: Mary Grady Chears, Mae Graham, Christine Gordon, and Blance Dellinger. Sophomores: Julia Blauvelt, Glen-dale Suitta, Mae Bellamy, Jeter Bur-ton, Katherine Price, Louise Ervin, who will serve as reporter of ath-letics, and Georgia Kirkpatrick, par. agrapher. Freshmen: Grace Johnston, Mar* garet Praytor, Louise Smith, Andrina Mclntyre, Mary Zealey, Evelyn Har-ris, Lilly Gilley, Louise Crawford, who will serve as a reporter of news of the Y. W. C. A., and Nancy Little reporter of news from the Depart-ment of Music. The Athletic Association staged last night in West Dining Room from 6:00 to 7:00, one of the most unique social events ever witnessed on N. C. campus, possibly without a single exceptron. Those who had the for-tune to attend this banquet did so deservedly, being the recipients of at least e'ght athletic points whxh are, a-, a generally accepted fact, not often won without the expenditure of a great deal of surplus energy, as well as a great deal which is not surplus. Active participants in field day activities, many of whom already had the required number of points, and the entire faculty were also guests. A first look into the reception hall and corridor of thev dining room vividly portrayed the nature of the entertainment and prophesied the informal manner in which it was to be carried out. Class pennants of sister classes overhung each door of the corridor giving the air of a family reunion. High jumps, tennis nets, tennis rackets, base balls, base ball bats, gloves, mits, basket balls, and athletic equipment of all pos-sible description adorned the walls and windows. Class colors were fly-ing at all possible angles. In place of the usual hanging ivy drooping gracefully from doors on festive occasions, walking rings were sus-pended. Hurdles and hockey sticks found an occasional space for repose. The official score for the Senior- Sophomore baseball game was posted on the bulletin board of the corridor. The dining room tables assumed the shape of an enormous A. In the triangular space at the top of the letter a huge fan adorned the floor to the points of wheih were attached streamers gathered into the center light from which other streamers ran out to the side lights, the en-tire color scheme being lavender, blue, green and white, combinations of which formed the class colors of the four classes represented at the banquet. In the cage formed by the streamers from the fan to the center light various colors of balloons were kept in motion. From the side lights athletic equipment again took the place of the hanging vines. Pen-continued on Page Two) The piano recital given by John Powell, pianist, at the Grand Theatre on Thursday evening, was one of the best concerts that has been given in this year's College Lyceum course. Mr. Powell, who is one of the greatest pianists of America, domi-nates the attention of the public to-day. His achievements are outstand-ing, both in the fields of interpre-tive and creative art. In every sense of the :word he is a true genius and among the most noted musicians in America. This was evidenced by his beauti-ful pianistic art. The poetic and appealing, interpretations held his audience closely. There were numbers from Bee-thoven, Chopin, and Liszt, all played with great technical skill. The Son-ata in E flat, from Beethoven, was a great interpretation of a great master. The numbers from Chopin and Liszt produced a deep and im-pressive- feeling on the audience, es-pecially the Slumber Song in the last group. In this group Mr. Powell's own interpretation, "The Banjo Picker," and "Turkey in the Straw" were enthusiastically received by the audi-ence. Great applause and many en-cores followed. The audience received Mr. Pow-ell's playing with great apprecia-tion and enthusiasm. The program was as follows: Beethoven, Sonata in E flat, Op. 31, No. 3. Allegro. Allegret to vivace. Moderate grazioso. Presto con fuoco. Chopin, Nocturne in C Sharp Minor. Impromptu in F Sharp Major. Scherzo in C Sharp Minor. Beethoven, Three Country Dances. C Major—E flat Major—C Major.

In the College Auditorium on Wed-nesday afternoon, April 30, at four o'clock, Miss Celeste Jonas, of Lin-colnton, gave her graduating recital. This was the second of the series of recitals which will be given this spring. Miss Jonas displayed unusual ar-tistic ability and technique through-out her program. Especially was this shown in her second group and in the "Koniertstuck," Op. 79, b* Weber. She played with a great deal of feeling and expression. Miss Jonas' program consisted of the following numbers: I. Sonata, Op. 2, No. 3; Bee-thoven. 'Allegro con brio. Adagio. Scherzo. Rondo-Allegro assai. II. Polonaise, Op. 9, No. 6; Pad-erewiksi.

NUMBER VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE TO BE PUT ON NEXT WEEK FAMOUS ARTISTS ARE HEARD ATjESTIVAL Program by Widely Known Minne-apolis Symphony Orchestra Was Enjoyed DR. BROWN DESERVES PRAISE Festival Chorus, Under Leader.hip of Dr. Brown, Showed Excel-lent Training The Greensboro Music Festival which was held in the National Theatre on April 24 and 25, was one of the best and most interesting that Greensboro has ever had. All of the artists were famous in concert and operatic work, and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is widely known for its beautiful playing. Cyrena Van Gordon, Mezzo So-prano; Kathleen Hart Bibb, Soprano; Kathryn Meisle, Contralto; Paul Alt-house, Tenor; Charles T. Tittman, Bass; and J. Foster Barnes, Bari-tone, all of whom appeared at some time during the Festival, are excel-lent artists. Kathleen Hart Bibb, in her role of Elsa in "Lohengrin" and Mar-guerite in "Faust," displayed a voice of freshness, purity and loveliness. Kathryn Meisle's singing captured her audience by virtue of its natural-ness, wideness of range, and beauty. Her charming personality also won her hearers. The warmth, color, and power of Paul Althouse's voice brought him the full appreciation of his audi-ence. "Experience and industry are mellowing his dramatic tenor voice and his constantly broadening art." Charles Tittman delighted and "charmed his audience, carrying them on the wings of song to an ecstacy of joy and appreciation." And J. Foster Barnes, Greens-boro's own artist, showed himself to be a real artist by his excellent work thoughout the program in which he figured. However the artist who achieved the greatest personal success was Cyrena Van Gordon, Mezzo-Soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Her "voice is not merely* Of great range and power and beauty. It contains that human quality which is something apart from all coa&j sideration of pitch and volume, and moveover, something which has proved itself most characteristic of the true contralto organ." The Minneapolis Symphony Or-chestra, one of the most notable in America, played as one Instrument beautiful, lyric and warm. . . Then . . . big, powerful, and dramatic. It was under the direction of its own conductor, Henri Verbrugghen. This gentleman showed what wonder he could perform by every movement of his little baton. The work of the two Festival Choruses, under the leadership of Dr. Wade R. Brown, showed beauti-ful tone and excellent ensemble training. A great deal of the credit for the musical success of the festival was due to Dr. Wade R. Brown, Music Director. For many years he has been a great factor and influence in conducting musical activities into wider channels. As director of a Choral Society in Raleigh for a num-ber of years, as Director of the Asheville Musical Festival, and as Director of the Greensboro Choral Society since its organization his in-fluence has been immeasurable in both city and state. He is also Dean of the School of Music of the N. C. College for Women in connection with which he conducts the chorus of N. C. College for Women which was combined with the Greensboro Choral Society. Miss Jackson of Boston Will Be the Chief Speaker dur-ing the Week After college, what? may be answered for a number of students At a Vocational Conference whicn opens at the college Sunday, May 4. The Conference is under the aus-pices of the Young Women's Chris-tian Association, the Student Gov-ernment Association, the Athletic Association, and a faculty commit-tee. The program, arranged by a com-mittee from these associations and from the literary societies, is un-usually rich. Miss Florence Jackson, Director of the Woman's Education-al and Industrial Bureau, of Boston, Mass., is to be the chief speaker of the conference. She is an eminent specialist in her field, and is thorugh-ly familiar with the type of work she will do at the college.

BROWN DESERVES PRAISE Festival Chorus, Under Leader.hip of Dr. Brown, Showed Excel-lent Training The Greensboro Music Festival which was held in the National Theatre on April 24 and 25, was one of the best and most interesting that Greensboro has ever had. All of the artists were famous in concert and operatic work, and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is widely known for its beautiful playing. Cyrena Van Gordon, Mezzo So-prano; Kathleen Hart Bibb, Soprano; Kathryn Meisle, Contralto; Paul Alt-house, Tenor; Charles T. Tittman, Bass; and J. Foster Barnes, Bari-tone, all of whom appeared at some time during the Festival, are excel-lent artists. Kathleen Hart Bibb, in her role of Elsa in "Lohengrin" and Mar-guerite in "Faust," displayed a voice of freshness, purity and loveliness. Kathryn Meisle's singing captured her audience by virtue of its natural-ness, wideness of range, and beauty. Her charming personality also won her hearers. The warmth, color, and power of Paul Althouse's voice brought him the full appreciation of his audi-ence. "Experience and industry are mellowing his dramatic tenor voice and his constantly broadening art." Charles Tittman delighted and "charmed his audience, carrying them on the wings of song to an ecstacy of joy and appreciation." And J. Foster Barnes, Greens-boro's own artist, showed himself to be a real artist by his excellent work thoughout the program in which he figured. However the artist who achieved the greatest personal success was Cyrena Van Gordon, Mezzo-Soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Her "voice is not merely* Of great range and power and beauty. It contains that human quality which is something apart from all coa&j sideration of pitch and volume, and moveover, something which has proved itself most characteristic of the true contralto organ." The Minneapolis Symphony Or-chestra, one of the most notable in America, played as one Instrument beautiful, lyric and warm. . . Then . . . big, powerful, and dramatic. It was under the direction of its own conductor, Henri Verbrugghen. This gentleman showed what wonder he could perform by every movement of his little baton. The work of the two Festival Choruses, under the leadership of Dr. Wade R. Brown, showed beauti-ful tone and excellent ensemble training. A great deal of the credit for the musical success of the festival was due to Dr. Wade R. Brown, Music Director. For many years he has been a great factor and influence in conducting musical activities into wider channels. As director of a Choral Society in Raleigh for a num-ber of years, as Director of the Asheville Musical Festival, and as Director of the Greensboro Choral Society since its organization his in-fluence has been immeasurable in both city and state. He is also Dean of the School of Music of the N. C. College for Women in connection with which he conducts the chorus of N. C. College for Women which was combined with the Greensboro Choral Society.
