The primary purpose and aim
of this organization is to be of
the greatest possible service and
usefulness to these respective
counties which it represents in
any way whatsoever. 1t has en-
deavored to accomplish this pur-
pose in several ways: (1) by
keeping in touch with the school
superintendent in these counties
and rendering them any assis-
tance possible, (2) by sending
the University newspapers and
magazines edited by the students
to some of the schools in these
counties, (3) by sending repre-
sentatives to the county COM
mencements; and (4) by study
ing the social and economic pro-
blems with which these counties
are being continually confronted.
However, the social value of
such an organization to the stud.
ents on the Hill" front these coun-
ties cannot be overlooked, for it
is only by mutual understanding
and helpfulness that anything is
accomplished. At regular inter
walls meetings are held, and some
times, after the business has
been transacted, the business
meeting is converted into a
smoker" or feed" where all
gather around the festive board
and partake of the delicacies
spread before them. 1t serves as
a means of enabling the men in
the counties to become acquaint-
ed with each other, the fruits
of which acquaintance can best
be realized when as full fledged
and responsible citizens they can
better pull together" in their
after college career with the
common purpose of service" in
view.
At a recent meeting the club
decided to send student repre-
sentatives to the county commen-
cements at Warrenton and Roa-
noke Rapids. Mr.. F. G. Miles was
elected as a representative to the
Warren County Commencement,
at Warrenton, and Mr.. Sidney
Allen to attend the Halifax
County Commencement, at Roa-
noke Rapids.
The purpose Of sending men
to these county commencements
is: (1) to get in touch with pro-
spective University students and
show them the advantages at
such an institution as well as
give them necessary advice; (2)
to be of any assistance to the
school authorities in carrying out
the program; and (3) to inter-
view the citizens of the com
munity and feel the public pulse,
that is, to find out what the
people like or don't like about
this state institution.
The Enfield Graded School was
the only school represented in
The debating contest for the
'Aycock Memorial Cup" during
High School week, the 18th, 10th,
