CECIL ROBERTS WILL
LECTURE ON NOVEL
Will Di.cus. Botk Creative and
Mechanical Side, of Making
of the NOT*!
IS FAMOUS AUTHOR AND POET
Cecil Rogerts, a young English
novelist, poet and editor, will appear
at the college on Monday night as
the second lecturer on the college
Lyceum course. His subject will be
"The Making of a Novel."
In this lecture Mr. Roberts will
tell exactly how our novels are
created.
He traces the working the mind
from its first shadowy conception of
a central idea, showing how the vari-ous
characters are brought into being,
how sometimes they become rebell-ious
and threaten to wreck the story,
but it is what Mr. Roberts calls "the
intervening actors" who make the
novel a living thing—those creatures
of the subconscious mind who im-pose
themselves upon the story and
somehow become the very life of it.
Mr. Roberts tells how, sailing one
day down the Venetian lagoons, a
sunset suggested a title, the title the
story, and the story as written was
not the story conceived.
This lecture provides a fascinating
study of the operation of the human
m*nd and of the imagination, and for
those who also wish to know some-thing
of the merely mechanical side,
Mr. Roberts treats of technique and
business, both of which are as neces-sary
to the creation of a successful
book as imagination and an inmate
g'ft for story telling
In 1920 Mr. Roberts was made the
editor of the "Nottingham Journal."
This, founded in 1710 is England's
oldest newspaper; Mr. Roberts, be-ing
twenty-seven years of age at the
time of his appointment, was there-fore
the youngest editor of Eng-land's
oldest daily newspaper. This
paper has counted many famous men
upon its staff, of whom perhaps the
most foremost is Sir James Barrie,
his journalistic career having started
when he went to its editorial chair
direct from Edinburgh University
writing h's first editorial on the train.
Under Mr. Roberts' leadership the
paper has rapidly grown and today
stands among the foremost molders
of English public opinion.
In 1922 Mr. Roberts was invited
to become a candidate for Parlia-ment,
a position he relinquished ow-ing
to a breakdown in health through
overwork. He began his journalistic
career as Literary Editor of the "Liv-erpool
Post," subsequently becom-ing,
during the war, Special Corres-pondent
with the British Navy, the
Dover Patrol, and war correspondent
with the British Armies on the West-ern
Front, where he was a colleague
of Sir Phillip Gibbs, well-known to
American audiences. Lord Weir,
than Secretary of State for Air, paid
a high tribute to Mr. Roberts in the
preface he wrote to his book on the
Royal Air Force. For a time Mr.
Roberts held the appointment of As-

SUPERVISOR'S COURSES
PLANNED BY MR. COOK
u.
Special .Cewrsee.. Will Bo Given to
Moot Growing Demands lor
Trained Le.der.hip
A special plan for the preparation
of supervisors has been recently
worked out by Mr. John W. Cook,
Dean of the School of Education. The
young women of the state who wish
to prepare themselves for a life work
and who do not wish to do formal
teaching may be attracted to this
plan.,.
These courses offered by the School
of Education are designed especially
to meet the demands of the state
for trained leadership. .The purpose
of teaching these courses is that bf
training principals, supervisors, di-rectors
of teacher training in county
normals, and superintendents.
Due to the scope and nature of the
work offered in the course, only those
who have had some successful teach-ing
experience, and who are college
graduates are eligible for the work.
According to the statement of the
plan, the work may be taken in with
accordance with any one of the fol-lowing
schemes: '
First,, all the work which prepares
for supervision may be taken during
the regular collegiate year.
Second, the work may be taken in
summer terms if it is completed with-ing
six years from the time when it
is begun.
Third, by arrangement with the
county superintendents who employ
the supervisor, work may be taken
for six weeks in a summer session
of six weeks. The work of the sum-mer
session will be followed by work
in the field, in the county, under the
guidance of the department until
January 1. The Completion of the
academic work may be accomplished
during the remainder of the college
year and in the following summer
semester.
The latter plan should make an
appeal to, a large number of those-now
teaching for the state who might
take advantage of summer sessions
and part of an academic year inf
residence to secure supervisors di-plomas.
The second plan is also well
adapted to those now actively en-gaged
in teaching.
MISS WEBB OF Y. W. COUNCIL
IS SPEAKER AT VESPERS
Places Emphasis on Statement Prog.
ress Is Infinite Advance to
Goal of Perfection
Miss Elizabeth Webb, Chairman of
the Southern Division of Council of
the Y. W. C. A., spoke at Vespers
on last Sunday night "I am a stu-dent
speaking to students about stu-dents,"
she said.
When asked by a friend what the
student movement was, she declared
it to be an awaking up all around the
world and the creating of something
better than that ever before had.
She told of the convention at In-dianapolis
and of the conference at
High Leigh, England. She said that
it was especially interesting to meet
with people of almost every nation-ality,
yet all with a common spirit
and common problems that they met
sincerely and squarely.
Miss Webb feels that the greatest
work in bringing nations together is
that done in the minds and hearts
of the people. She believes that the
American student can take more time
to learn of other students and what
they are thinking and doing. "Take
time to learn the real meaning of in-ternational
spirit," she urged.
She quoted words from the Bible,
"I came not to do my will but that
of the One who sent me." She said
that if every person would take this
as her guide her, life would be more
vital, more useful, and more alert.
"If we all believe life and per-sonality
to be the greatest things in
life and their growth an end in it-self,"
she said, "we will not be dis-appointed
if we do not get immediate
results."
She put particular emphasis on
Mary Folette's statement, "Progress
is an infinite advance toward and in-finitely
receding goal of infinite per-fection."
She closed with the words, "Those
people who are not afraid ef the
truth are those who, when they join-ed
hands, may move the world."
DR. JAMES ROBINSON
TO SPEAK AT COLLEGE
Author of "Mind in the Making" Will
Address Students and Faculty
oa December 6
An opportunity to hear a man
recognized as one of the noted in-dividuals
in the field of history will
come to the students and faculty
of the college Saturday, December
6, when Jamea Harvery Robinson
speaks in the auditorium at chapel
hour. Although Saturday is not a
regular day for chapel, many college
people have expressed the opinion
that a large crowd will gather at
that time to listen to the man who
has been a force in education.
Dr. Robinson will come to this city
from Raleigh, where he will make the
principal address, December 6, to the
members of the North Carolina His-torical
and Literary Society, which
will hold its annual meeting there
December 4 and 5.
The subject for the speaker's ad-dress
at the college is "Learning.''
Dr. Robinson was for many years
connected with institutions of learn-ing,
among them .Columbia Univer-sity,
the University of Pennsylvania,
and Barnard College. Just at pres-ent
he is engaged in literary work in
the city of New York.
The works in print by which the
historian is perhaps best known are
"The Mind in the Making," "The
New History," and "The Humanizing
of Knowledge." He has written
other books very widely used in
schools throughout the land, namely
"An Introduction to the History of
Western Europe," "Readings in
European History," "The Develop-ment
of Modern Europe," and
"Mediaeval and Modern Times."
Dr. Robinson is one of the found-ers
of the New School for Social Re-search
of New York. He has not,
however, been connected actively
with the institution since 1921.
Some of the members of the col-lege
faculty will hear Dr. Robinson
when he speaks in Raleigh, Decem-ber
6. W. C. Jackson, president of
the North Carolina Historical and
Literary Society, will give the presi-dential
address before the organisa-tion
Thursday, December 6. B. B.
Kendrick, professor of history, will
also attend the meetings, and on
Friday, December 5, will read a
paper on "The Problems of Histori-cal
Interpretation." Other members
of the faculty hope to be able to
attend the Raleigh meetings,

INFIRMARY GIVEN TESTAMENTS
SUNOEUUS RENDERS
CHARMING PROGRAM
Numbers Greatly Appreciated By
Largo Audience of Faculty
and Students
ACCOMPANIST VERY SKILLED
At the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet meet-ing
on Monday afternoon it was de-cided
that Y. W. testaments be put
in every room in the Infirmary, so
as to furnish the girls there with
something to read. This is to be
done as soon as possible.
The second number of the college
Luceum course was presented at the
Grand Theatre, Tuesday, November
25, 1924, when Miss Marie Sundelius
appeared in song recital. Throughout
the entire program the large audi-ence
was completely captivated by
the charming soprano, and it was
with a marked reluctance that she
was allowed to leave.
Perhaps the first three numbers
were the less enthusiastically receiv-ed,
but each following one increased
in beauty. In fact the little Swedish
song that closed the first half of the
program was climatic in its charm
and simplicity,
■ In each number Miss Sundelius
manifested such delightful personal-ity
that the audience as a whole was
impressed by it, and the program
greatly enhanced by it. Few artists
are as generous with their encores
as she was.
No small share of the glory should
be bestowed upon the skilled accom-panits.
During the entire evening
he seemed to be in perfect sympathy
with the singer.
The program was as follows:
Hark, Hark, the Lark!; Schubert.
Du hist die Ruh; Schubert
Die Forelle; Schubert
Mondnacht; Schumann.
Schneeglockchen; Schumann n.
Quand je dors; Liszt
Fantoches; Debussy.
Spring; Grieg.
Good Morning; Grieg.

Boheme;" Puccini. rv.

Song), Arr. by Kurt Schindler.
So Sweet Is She; Old English.

Song.

SOPHOMORES HOLD A MEETING
The Sophomore Class held s regu-lar
meeting Saturday, November 22,
in Curry Chapel. Plans were dis-cussed
for getting more members to
class meetings. The meeting was
then turned over to Lottie Finch
and Bevie Wilson, cheer leaders, who
conduced a "snappy" pep meeting.
' From Curry Chapel, the class march-ed
down the fire escape to the hockey
I field to see the hockey games.
JUNIORS AND SENIORS WIN FIRST
CONTESTS OF HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
The juniors and seniors were w'n
ners in the opening games of the
hockey tournament on Saturday af-ternoon.
The third year class won
over the sophomores with a score
4-1, while the seniors were victors'
over the first year men by a count
of 6-1.
The final game will be played be-tween
juniors and seniors on Decem-ber
8.
The junior-sophomore game was
called at two-thirty. The classes
from the sidelines cheered for their
team or their sister team as the twb
elevens in red and green jersies lined
up for the first bully of the tourna-ment.
A hard fought seven minutes pass-ed
before the first score was made,
the juniors finally succeeding in
breaking through for a goal. This
score was the only one for the first'
half, though the juniors decidedly
had the edge throughout the period*
In the second half, the sophomores
succeeded in scoring a goal, but fail-ed
to hold as well against the attacks
of the juniors, who made three points;
in the Deriod.
i
The work of the juniors wa» more
in team work than individual play-in,
though the best players showed up
well during the afternoon.
Johnsie Henry and Emily Cate, in-side*
for the juniors, were outstand.
ing in their attack against their op-ponents,
though at times Henry fail-ed
to show some of the speed she
usually exhibits. Edith Templeton
also made several good runs down
the field.
The senior-freshman game was not
marked by the enthusiasm displayed
during the first game of the after-noon.
The Seniors won by a score
of 6 to 1, but their victory was a
hard fought one.
The first year men have excellent
material in their team, which, with
a bit more practice at a game new
to all of them, will become formid-able
rivals for any team on the
campus. Their inexperience was one
of the deciding factors in the game.
The seniors started the game with
a rush, netting four goals within the
first ten minutes of play. After the
fourth goal, however, the freshman
bucked up and only one more score
was made during the first period.
In the second half the game was
much more interesting, the fresh-men
being much stronger both at
offense and defense. The seniors
were able to add only one point to
their score, and the freshmen made
a goal during the period.
Sam Davis, center forward, shot
five out of the six goals for the
seniors. Ruria Briggs, playing a good

MEETING OF CHEMISTRY CLUB
(Continued on Page Three)
The Chemistry Club held its regu-lar
meeting en Thursday, November
20. Mr. Whitemire, of the Vick
Chemical Works, gave a very inter-jesting
talk on "North Carolina's
Most Important Drug Plants From
the Botany, Pharmaceutical, Chemis-try,
sad Pharmacology Sides.'
The Evolution of Thanksgiving Is
Most Prominent Foatura of
the College Party
MINUET PRESENTED
The Thanksgiving party is a now
event of this year, but it certainly
proved a great success. At eight-fifteen
crowds of girls assembled,
from their twentieth century celebra-tion
of Thanksgiving, to witness "the
Evolution of Thanksgiving." The at-mosphere
of our early Puritan an-cestors
surrounded the Hut The
summer house was transformed into
the Mayflower, Plymouth Bock lay
between this weather worn bark and
the welcome shelter of the Pilgrim's
hut In the darkness behind the hut
the sombre woods of "New England"
stood silhouetted against the sky.
The spectators heard, at first, faint
music which seemed to come from
some distant church. Soon the Pil-grim
family enterd the hut The
father, Johnnie Heilig, and the moth-er,
Annie Lula Marine, assembled
their children around the table. The
children were: Eloise H»namant the
daughter; and the sons, Ellen Stone,
Olive McKinnon, Katharine SherrilL
Martha Goodrich, Josephine Gowen,
and Judith Barksdsle. The Pilgrims
were feasting and enjoying their
Thanksgiving festival when into their
peaceful home dashed s band of In-dian
warriors. The Indians captured
the daughter, bound her and, with
her M the center, they danced a war
dance. The Pilgrims looked on in
terror as the Indians carried the girl
away.
The next period in the "Evolution
of Thanksgiving" was presented in
the Auditorium. The curtain rose on
an old man playing the violin, while
his friend accompanied him at the
piano. When the music stopped a
voice from off the stage said," Judith,
sing for us." Hermine Warlick wee
at the piano, Marie Wilkins played
the violin, and Gladys Campbell sang.
George Washington, who was rep-resented
by Neil Sewell, and his wife,
Martha, by Mary Belo Moore, next
entered with a number of colonial
ladies and gentlemen. George told
his guests that they had mucn for
which to be thankful in the recent re-lease
from the fetters of England.
They all took part in dancing the
minuet
The audience then adjourned to
the society halls which were decorat-ed
to represent the homes of
mothers at Thanksgiving time,
the square dance was the dominant
feature. Miss Jamison showed the
guests to the ante-room, where cider
and ginger-bread were served.
Then the audience returned to the
auditorium where community sing-ing
and dancing closed the program.
Many faithful workers co-operated
in making this party one of the most
enjoyed entertainments of the year.
The student are indebted to Mrs. Dur-and,
the Committee of the President's
Council, and the Social Committee
for the idea, Annie Davis Melvm,
Ernestine Welton, and a Freshman
commitee are responsible for the en-tire
decorating scheme.
Those who took part in the Minuet
were; Neil Sewell, Joe Clark, Miriam
Bagett, and Audrey Brenegar, as the
boys; and Mary Belo Moore, Elsie

College Orchestra
Plans Demonstration
The College Orchestra, under the
leadership of Mr. Fuchs, is rapidly
growing in numbers and hopes to
give a demonstration of its musical
talent soon.
A full orchestra is the aim of Mr.
Fuchs, who will be glad to add any
new musicians, especially those play-ing
instruments. The orchestra, at
present consists of thirty instru-ments
which is s considerable in-crease
over the twelve with which it
began. The personnel is composed,
not only of members of the faculty
and of the student body, but also
of several Greensboro people who
are taking active parts.
A concert is to be given very soon
after Christmas in which there will
be several scenes from the Ballet
Ruseee as well as some of the old
favorites.
