COLLEGE DEBATING SOCIETY
Sunday afternoon, November 4, 1928, marked the
second meeting of the College Debating Society. At this
time the Presidential Campaign was at “white heat” and
naturally afforded a good live subject for debate. The
subject was: “Resolved, That A1 Smith Deserves the Vote
of the People”. The affirmative team was composed of
McCoy and Cabiness; I lie negative, McKinney and Crok-
ett. The latter won by a unanimous vote 3—0.
The following Sunday talks were given on the tech
nique of debating. H. J. Smith gave a short talk on
speaking on “The Kinds of Authority”. The forensic
artists must be using some influence on the student body
as a whole, for it seems that arguments are quite general
around the campus. Some of us seem to be ready to
argue on any subject that happens to come up whether
we have any available material or not. Such is college
life. Keep the good work going.
THE GLEE CLUB AND
ORCHESTRA
Two months of hard work have passed into the history
of this organization since school opened and as a result,
the new talent has been molded into the temper of the
old. The rough edges have been taken off and a firm
foundation has been laid upon which their work for the
coming season will be built.
We are quite fortunate in getting from among the
new members some valuable soloists. Those who in the
last three years have witnessed a concert by the More
house Glee Club and Orchestra will not soon forget the
voices of Howard Branch, baritone, and Levi Terrell,
tenor. Nor will they forget the perfection of technique
of Oliver Jackson, violinist. These artists left through
graduation and everyone realized that it would be with
some difficulty that their places would be filled. But
they have been filled and the outlook for the year is
just as bright as ever.
The orchestra has added two new numbers to its rep
ertoire and next week will begin rehearsing Lizt’s “Sec
ond Hungarian Rhapsody.” The fact that Professor
Harreld has selected this composition shows his great
confidence in the musical ability of the orchestra.
On December I 7, 1928, the Glee Club and Orchestra
in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. will present Prof.
Kemper Harreld in his annual Violin Recital. This is
one of the events of the year to which Atlanta as well
as our student body looks forward.
DRAMATICS CLUB
On Tuesday, November 13, 1928, the Dramatics Club
held its second meeting. Several plays were discussed
in order to select one for presentation. Finally “Justice”,
by John Galsworthy, was decided upon. It is a play of
prison life. This presentation will mark the second
departure of the Dramatics Club from Shakespeare.
We have been told that Professor Redding has made
the parts ‘hard to get'. Each part has been assigned to
two men. The better man wins. Therefore we are an
ticipating some hot competition. Strong competition
will lead to a high grade of dramatic presentation.
The tentative time for this presentation is about the
middle of February.
THE CLASSICAL CLUB
The dreams of many of the students are being realized
and their yearnings pacified in the rapid development
of the Classical Club. The purpose of the club is to
acquaint its members with the Greek and Roman civili
zations and to cultivate an appreciation of the culture
found in these two great civilizations, and especially
Greek culture. Again the club purposes to afford an
opportunity for the coming together of kindred souls to
develope the art of conversation, to make wholesome
contacts, to learn of their debt to the Greek civilization,
and to produce richer and fuller lives in the light of this
knowledge.
In the last two meetings, the club has considered the
development of the religion, industry, and government
of the Greeks in order to form a background for the study
of the civilization which flourished in the Homeric period.
Messrs. R. B. Steward, E. Green, and M. LI. Watson led
in this discussion. Prof. A. C. Curtrighl, the faculty
advisor to the club, closed the discussion.
The Classical Club meets bi-monthly. Any student
of the school, upon application, is eligible for member
ship in the club. The club promises to be one of the
most potent influences in student life on the campus.

THE CAROLINA CLUB
The sons of North and South Carolina assembled to
reorganize the Carolina club for the present school year.
The purpose of the club is to inspire young men
from the sister states to achieve greatness and strive to
a noble end. A general feeling of good will and brother
ly respect prevailed through the meeting. The follow
ing men were elected as officers:
T. Lester President
H. J. Smith — Vice President
C. Ramseur Secretary
C. Ruff Corresponding Secretary
0. L. Anderson Treasurer
After a brief speech by the President emphasizing the
duty of the members to the club, all adjourned in a good
spirit to anxiously await the coming of the next meeting.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TRAINING
CLASS
Last Saturday evening, November 10, 1928, the Sunday
School Training Class met at its usual hour, and had
for its guest the Abdemelech Sunday School Class of
Mt. Olive Baptist Church. A Member of this class led
