The life of Dr. Jones, she said, was a glow of the gospel teachings, and Victorious Living was a reply to a letter he received asking him how one could acquire that inner I one hears so much about. Prayer which is a practice of God, he gives as one of the essentials. Miss Fields then read several thoug from his book, among which are: “In searching for a vic- torious living, begin with a search of God.” “In order to find God, one must give up oneself and follow Christ, the Savior.” “Life that is lived off the surface roots instead of the depths is not fully and truly lived.” “Out of the calm comes the forces that shape the world.” A quartette, “I’ve Anchored My Soul” was sung by Misses Edna Earle Perry, Frances Currin, Catherine Cheek and Madeline Eakes. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ricks left Thursday for Bermuda. Miss Alice V. Wilson spent the week-end beginning February 13 in Raleigh. Dr. Herbert Rebarker was called to Kentucky due to the illness of his mother. He returned last Fri- day. Mary Louise Saunders spent the week-end wtih her parents in Red Oak, N.C.

Catherine Wallace spent the week- end with her parents in Kinston. Naomi Newell and Nettie Brett Sewell were her guests for the week- end. Irene Kennedy was hostess at an informal knitting party given in her room Monday evening, Febru- ary 15. The girls met and made plans of organizing a knitting club on the campus. After several in- formal discussions the hostess served delicious cakes and tea. Each guest left with the expression of contentment. Alice Alligood was hostess at an informal get-together in her room Thursday evening, February 18. After a few games of bridge, the hostess, assisted by Nancy L. Moore, served spiced tea cookies, and ritz. About 10 girls enjoyed the occasion. There has been a “hope chest” started on the west wing of Flem- ing Hall. One dish cloth is already completed. A specially arranged train trip was a novel treat of the pupils of Miss Johnston’s second grade at the training School. Many of the pupils had never experienced a train ride before; therefore, much excitement was caused by the unusual occasion. President L. R. Meadows and Dr. H. J. McGinnis, registrar, were in New Orleans last week representing East Carolina Teachers College at meetings of the American Associa- tion of Teachers Colleges and the National Education Association. On Thursday, afternoon the Methodist Student Sunday school council held a meeting at Miss Zoe Anna Davis’s home. Topics were discussed for the student organiza- tion meetings to be held during the remainder of the year. It was de- cided that Miss Davis would speak at the organization meeting Thurs- day night, February 25, on “What to Believe.” Plans were also dis- cussed for the student banquet to be held in the spring. The many friends of Miss Lois V. Gorrell are delighted to know that after an extended illness, she is again in her studio at the College, meeting her piano and violin pupils. Her first venture out was to attend the piano recital on Thursday night, when several of her pupils played. Mrs. Paul Davenport has been meeting Miss Gorrell’s piano pupila, and Miss Lucy Nulton has been meeting the violin pupils. BOOKS ADDED | TO THE LIBRARY Through the cooperation of Mr. James R.

SILICON FAMILY INTERESTING TO SCIENCE MAJORS The story of the Silicon family was made extremely interesting by members of the Science club of the College at their February meeting held last week. After the Silicon family was introduced by Ray Pruett, Miss Margaret Davis told of numerous uses of Silicon, some of the more important being: the making of glass, jewelry, pearls, paints and cleaning fluids. Then the magic of the Silicon family was shown by Joe Hatem in the making of a Silicon garden, by the use of salts of different metals. Plans were made to stage a car- nival on April 9, in the Robert H. Wright building and a committee to work with these was appointed composed of: Roy Barrow, Joe Hatem, Ray Pruette and Misses Margaret Davis and Cathryn Al- britton. In addition to these plans, |¢ others were made with regard to the annual club trip which will take the place of the open house day held for the past two years. The committee to work on further plans for Science Club Day is composed of Misses Fan- nie Brewer, Elizabeth D. Johnson, Sudie Williamson, Callie Charlton and Primrose Carpenter, while the club trip committee is composed of Wesley Bankston, Misses Hattie Holland and Onie Cochran. DRINKS :-: SANDWICHES AND TAX!

MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY WINTER QUARTER RECITAL An audience of music lovers en- joyed the winter term recital given by the piano students of the college on the evening of February 18, in the Robert H. Wright auditorium. The program, which was made more interesting to the listeners by brief explanations by Miss Mead, in which she told something of the characteristics of the compositions and composers, opened with a Bach} Invention, followed by a Gigue by Martini and Allegro by Bach, all of which were written in true class- ical form, and effectively played by Misses Jean Corey, Melba Phillips and Pauline Nelson. Pierne’s March of the Little Lead Soldiers, rendered by Miss Annie] Laurie Hodgese, was particularly | interesting because it made the} audience feel that little lead soldiers | had actually come to life, marching in the distance, coming closer and! then the last thing heard was the beating of the drums as_ they marched away. Tn contrast were two descriptive numbers, A Spinning Wheel, by Godard, and Rustle of Spring, by Sinding, effectively played by Miss Grace Freeman and Miss Edith Dixon. Another type of music, by} Chopin, who is perhaps the most! pianistie of the composers, was pre-| sented by Misses Mary Evelyn) Thompson and Elizabeth Tolson, when they played Waltz in D Flat. The two numbers, Lento, by| Scott and The Mother of the Cradle| by Juon, played by Misses Christine | Alford and Zylda Cooper, lent con- trast to the program because of their modernistic harmonies. The program ended with De- bussey’s Arabesque, No. 2, played by Miss Nola Walters, which made a fitting ending of a lovely program. This is the first time that the new concert grand piano has been used for a recital and both musicians and audience enjoyed its beautiful tone.
