The twenty-fifth annual Field Day

of the morning, in which the Fresh-man
team proved itself the winner.
The Senior-Sophomore baseball game
in the afternoon resulted in a vic-tory
for the Seniors. The banquet
on the night of Field Day was the
crowning event of the day, and was
one of the most successful banquets
ever held at the college. The whole
day was a success in every way.
With a score of 35 points the
Freshman Track Team captured the
Field Day cup for the class of '27.
The uniforms worn by this team were
particularly attractive, being red and
white—the colors of their class. The
red knickers and blouses trimmed
in white showed up to advantage on
the field.

second with a score of twenty-nine
points; while Jonsie Henry, the man-ager
of the second year team was
the individual champion of the day.

the first place in the running broad
jump, the hop step and jump and
the sixty yard dash. Her time in
the dash was 7.9 seconds; while she
jumped IS feet, 8 inches in the run-ning

in the events of the day, making a
score of fifteen points. Smoot, Burt,
Pope and Smith tied for second place
in individual honors, each making
eight individual points.
The second and third places in the
dash were taken by the first year
men; Donnie Smoot and Florence
Webb, respectively. Lena Smith,

their cheering, and came in with

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

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.
John Powell, The Banjo Picker.
David Guion, Turkey in the Straw.

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.

Meeting at Winthrop
For the three days of April 26,
27, and 28, Dr. A. Bruce Curry, a
professor in the New York Bible
School, conducted a Bible Institute
at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S.
C, for the purpose of giving train-ing
for leadership in the Bible study
classes to college students. Two of
the twelve colleges represented at
the meeting were from North Caro-lina.
Dr. Curry has been granted a
leave of absence for a year during
which time he will conduct Bible
Institutes in schools all over the
country, under the auspices of the
Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. He
will be at Blue Ridge this summer
for the student's conference and will
hold a so-called Bible Study Camp
there in July. After leaving Blue
Ridge he will do summer work in
various parts of the country.
The primary object of the confer-ence
at Winthrop was the training
of leaders for the Bible Study class-es.
He gave much concrete instruc-tion
about how to conduct a discus-sion
group, bringing out the fact that
the principles of Jesus as found in
the New Testament should be applied
on the problems of the present day
so that one might live life at its
best
The delegates, however, were not
at work all the time but found time
to fully enjoy the hospitality of
Winthrop College.
Those attending the conference
from N. C. C. W. were: Miss Lois
McDonald, Bather Howard, Julia
Ross, Polly Duffy, Marion Piatt, Mar-garet
Martin, Lois Rankin, Hazel
Simpson, Brooks Johnson, Louise
Hayward, Helen Anderson, and John-nie
