STATE'S MOST READABLE COLLEGE NEWSPAPER THE CAROLINIAN NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN ^ (%U4S> </U^>ryfA*J FOR GREATER NORTH CAROUNA COLLEGE VOLUME VL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1924 Number 10 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- (Continued on Page 4) "MESSIAH*' TO BE GIVEN BY CHORUSES DECEMBER 12-14 The combined chorus, consisting of two hundred and twenty-five mem-bers of the North Carolina college choir and the Greensboro Festival Chorus will sing the "Messiah" in the college auditorium Friday even-ing, December 12, and Sunday af-ternoon, December 14. According to this arrangement all students and faculty members will be able to at-tend this concert at one of the two times. For several months these choruses have been working on this oratorio and it is with exceptional interest that it will be received. At one performance Miss Gladys Campbell will sing the soprano solo part, while Miss Bivins will be soprano soloist at the other. Mrs. Wad* R. Brown and Mrs. Henry War* are the contralto soloists. Mr. Benjamin 8. Bates sings the tenor solos, and Mr. Grady Miller and Mr. J. Foster Barnes will take the baas parts. The "Messiah" will be given under the direction of Dr. Wade R. Brown who will be assisted at the organ by Professor George Thompson; Miss Sue Southwick will be at the piano 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, o 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. Dance Song; Soderman. m.

Zuni Indians Wooing; Arr. by Troyer Love In Springtime; Swedish Folk Song. o 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.

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 (Continued on Page 3) 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.

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.

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.
