NhitWOrth Notes.

lsophomores to juniors on Friday
evening, December 4, was one Of
| the most creditable to the per-
formers and enjoyable of all the
social functions Of Whitworth.
The little play, Under the Mis-
tletoe, = was admirably produced.
Mary Cook and Grace Leighton
as ssMr. and Mrs. Jack, /" Shir-
ley Peyton as "leading man. and
his charming little sweetheart,
Verna Lilly, the "star, q did
their parts in a worthy manner,
while the side play of other mem
bers Of the company, Lois Cooper,
Nellie Osburn, Madge Bracey,
Ella Saint, caused peals Of laugh
ter from the audience.
After the play, seniors and
faculty repaired to the parlors,
where the sophomores, as recep-
ton committee, made pleasant
hour for all. Then came, in
school girl parlance, "the main
thing, . i. e., the refreshments.
The company" dining room
was beautifully decorated with
intertwined class colors and holly |
and mistletoe in profusion. At
each plate was a souvenir card in
water colors and a happy little
verse of love and good cheer.
The toast given by Lois Cooper
to the seniors and the response
by Maggie Redding, were both
pretty and appropriate. This
over, the punch; after which fol-
lowed delicious ice cream and
cake, and more toasts by mem
bers of the faculty. There could
have been no more fitting good
night than the numerous "yells, !"
some made especially for the oc-
casion. The sophomores certainly
gave an evening of dignity, pleas
ure and beauty, and to those who
were SO fortunate as to have
tasted in full measure of the
fruits of their labor, came the
feeling of being "out of the no
where into the here"
On Saturday evening, Deem
Der 5, Miss Ragsdale entertained
her elocution class. An original
story, containing the names of all
pupils Ito be supplied) was the
unique feature of the evening.
Miss Josie Becker won first prize,
while Miss Horn was the second
honor lady. Miss Gertrude Kim
brough was rewarded with
BOBBY; but so pretty it was, it
seemed like a reward of merit for
"one who fights and runs away
J and lives to fight another day. "
Dainty refreshments were served.
Misses Hillman andViyian counted
themselves in luck as invited
. guests. Miss Ragsdale was as
sisted in entertaining by Misses
Atkins and Hardy. Those who
know the cordial hospitality in
this home will know something of
the pleasure experienced by all.
Mrs. Bruce is a guest of her
daughter, Agnes, who is conyal-
escent from an illness of two
weeks.
Mrs. Harrell accompanied her
daughter, Annie, home last week.
Several young ladies have gone
home to remain until after the
holidays. All will leave on Fri
day, except few who expect to
remain in Brookhaven.
DR.. and Cooper, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hawkins are home from confer
ence.
The Harvey johnson Literary
Society gave a public meeting
Saturday evening to all on the
campus. The chapel was beauti-
fully decorated in society colors
and the program was excellent.
In the debate question, "Resolved;
That four years of college
course after high school grad
uation is more beneficial than
four years of travel . was won
by Misses Galloway and Cook,
affirmative. The negative side
was loyalty upheld by Misses
White and Evans.
These public meetings of the
two societies "Harvey johnson"
and Philomathean are growing in
interest.
On Thursday evening the Phi
lomatheans will initiate six new
members whose names have beer
voted at their regular me citing.
