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-

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.

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

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.
