VOLUME 111 Ciceronian Literary Society Presents Chapel Program thanksgiving performance UNPRECEDENTED Seeks Supremacy One of the most interesting chapel exercises of the year wa3 presented last Friday by repre sentatives of the Ciceronian literay society. This is the first time that one of the clubs has presented a chapel service to the student body. But it was well received by every one. Mr. Strozier, as faculty advisor to Ciceronian, presented Edwin Rogers to the student body. Mr. Rogers, president of Ciceronians, presided. At the end of the songs, Miss Evelyn Ballard led in prayer. Mr. Rogers then presented Glenn Hogan, program chairman for the morning. Mr. Hogan announced that the general theme of the morning would be the approach ing Thanksgiving holidays. In a very clever and intelligent way he then presented the American idea of Thanksgiving, what it had come to mean after these hun dreds of years. The ease and charm of Mr. Hogan’s manner helped to make his talk interest ing and forceful. He then presented Betty Ann Sewell who gave something of the origin and history of Thanksgiving Lay. Miss Sewell speaks with a clear, well modulated voice. Her talk was interesting as well as in structive. After this Miss Mary Nelle Morgan presented a Thanks giving poem. Jane Luck played Rachmanin off’s Prelude in C Sharp minor. She was enthusiastically received but did not take an encore. As the last number of this interesting program Bill Kelley gave a his tory of the origin of the Turkey as a Thanksgiving dish. Mr. Kelley was both consciously and uncon sciously humorous throughout hi3 speech. The general concensus of opin ion seemed to be that this prog ram had been interesting and very worth while, it was somediing of a venture on the part of the Cice ronian society, but one that merit ed t..e work and preparation on the part or those performing. The inference to the rest of the student body in Mr. Rogers prefa tory remarks seemed to be that Ciceronian was offering a chal lenge to the rest of the clubs on the campus to follow their exam ple by presenting something on the same level. There is no doubt that a literary society should sponsor public ap- Continued on page 2 Shivar To Lecture On Germany At Second Lyceum Program Tonight Mr. Sam Shivar, of the German Department of Emory University, will be the second speaker on the student lecture program, being presented Friday evening, Decem ber Sixth.

REDWINE Boxing Exhibition Staged In Gym RIVERS, BOHANNON, LASSETT ER, TANT AND RICHARD SON DISPLAY SUPERIOR SKILL Never before in these parts has such a hectic battle been fought a.s the opening one between Ed Colvin and J. J. Rivers at the re cently staged boxing exhibition in the gym. At the opening Rivers rushed out and inserted his glove in Colvin’s face five times before the latter could realize what it was all about. Then towards the end of the first round Rivers caught Colvin with a terrific left hook which sent the pride of Col vin to the floor for the count of three. In the second round Rivers opened up some very peculiar, but quite effective tactics resembling a crude attempt at necking. In the final round Rivers exercised his great physical advantage to a highly efficient degree, beating a tattoo on his opponent. Reports from the Martin-Almon morgue give Colvin a fighting chance to recover. Continued on page 3 Strozier Honored By National Society Prof. Robert M. Strozier, of the Foreign La n guage Department here, was initiated to the National Honorary Language Society at Emory on Nov. 16.

He is to give a talk on BALZAC at the next meeting of the Emory chapter of this society on Dec. 3, for which he also deserves con siderable distinction. W. G. C.

Immediately after the chart of each student’s mouth was made by the dentists, there issued from Published 'Ay Students W.G.C. SEN. REDWINE GIVES GA. EDUCATIONAL HISTORY Glee Club Sings A gala occasion was the send off given the dormitory students Tuesday evening just before the holidays. An appetizing Turkeyless dinner was prepared by Miss Ken drick. Afterwards two special numbers were sung by the Boy's Glee Club. Senator Charles D. Red wine was the speaker of the eve ning. The number given by the Boy’s Glee Club was “Steal Away” and this was their first public appear ance of this season. Agreeable sur prise was expressed at the gen eral improvement. It was observed that the introduction of several new voices has added greatly to the quality and tone of this chorus. The guest for the occasion was the Honorable Charles D. Red wine, President of the Georgia State Senate, his daughter, Sena tor and Mrs. Philip Almon, Mr. and Mrs. Hilton Tyus, and the wives and mothers of the faculty members. REDWINE MAKES ADDRESS The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Tyus, who gave the intro ductory talk. Senator Redwine’s most applaud ed speech was of great interest <o West Georgians, the subject being the Educational History of Geor gia’s Education System. The form ing of the A. and M. schools throughout the state for rural pup ils out of which grew this and sim ilar institutions, was given a sig nificant position in the Senator’s speech. What do you as students coming up with this opportunity owe the state? “This age is just as full of opportunities as any for the youth still retaining the backbofte.” He was referring to the opportunities for a college education. Made pos sible by the formation of West Georgia, for which the student afterward expresses their gai tude in hearty applause. Immedi ately following this the guests and student body were directed to the chapel auditorium where a dra matic production was presented. DINNER WAS TURKEYLESS The turkiless turkey dinner, made famous by Mr. Ingram’s re peated remarks in chapel, was a howling success from the student standpoint. Glee Club members Continued on page 4 President Ingram’s office a postal card to the parents of the students describing the work needed, and an estimate of the approximate cost of this work. The student? then were given their cnarts and were asked to get these chart:; signed by their dentists when the necessary work was completed. It is an interesting fact to note that the total cost of this work was estimated at nine hundred dollar or an average of four dollars and fifty cents per student needing work done. So far, the authorities report an immediate response, and daily re ports of dental work needed, have been completed. NUMBER 3.
