To arouse a greater interest in the reading of good books, Miss Pullen, the libra- rian, sponsored a contest, in which prizes were offered for the best original advertise- ment and for the best original poster setting forth the benefits and pleasures of good reading. Both prizes were won by Thomas Early of the ninth grade. Two chapel programs were prepared in celebration of Book Week. The first con- sisted of four-minute speeches made by several students. The speeches were on sub- jects pertaining to reading. According to a previous announcement, a prize was awarded to the student making the lccst speech. This was won by Eugene Spivey of the tenth grade. On the second morning scenes frcm well-known books were dramatized. Among these were dramatizations from Daddy Long-Legsf' Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch, Miss Minerva's Baby, Treasure Island, and Our Mutual Friend. xv 12 ji fL 31 xg gy: 42.9 f A GIFT TO THE LIBRARY By way of appreciation, we wish to acknowledge on this page a gift of three hun- dred and fifteen volumes presented to the library by Mrs. Gordon Hately of Richmond, Va. These books formerly belonged to the private library of the late Mrs. A. A. Basye, who was at all times a staunch supporter of the schools as well as of all movements relating to the welfare of our community. The books have been placed in a special section of the library and will be known as the t'Alla B. Basye Collection. img pwg QXIIL CHAPEL PROGRAMS Our chapel exercises are never dull, but the plan of having a grade section re- sponsible for one program each week has made the interest more keen. The plan has given opportunity for the development of talent throughout the school and has brought to light ability that might otherwise have remained undiscovered. Special exercises were given in celebration of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday, and Saint Patrick's Day. Other programs dealt with sketches from famous operas, story-telling, North Carolina history, current events, music, and ideals of character. On the whole the programs have been characterized by dignity and seriousness of effort and have been the source of much profit as well as entertainment.

In the preliminaries each contestant recited some short, familiar selection in order that the judges might select the six best speakers to enter the finals. The six selected were: Laura Gold, May Frances Turner, Margaret Burden, Glenn Mann, Elmer Oettinger and Harper Barnes. Not until after the preliminaries did the real struggle begin. Hours upon hours were devoted to concentrated effort in learning the assigned declamations. The de- claimers were not by themselves in this, for their instructor, Miss Pullen, spent many tedious hours in drilling and correcting the speeches. It is true that declaimers re- quire the ability to speak, yet it is the instructor who must be a genius to cultivate this visible ability and to make it shine in its most polished form. As girls are not allowed to enter the competition at Duke and Wake Forest, two contests were held: one in which the three girls and Glenn Mann contested for the school championship and another in which Glenn and the other two boys, former school champions, contested for the right to represent the school at Duke and Wake Forest. When the speakers were prepared to the fullest extent, the contests were held. First, the contest for school championship was given in the auditorium during a chapel period. Lenard Gore was chairman for the morning. The program was as follows: America, by Laura Gold, Mother, by Margaret Burden, Makers of the Flag, by Glenn Mann, and 'tThe Chariot Race, by May Frances Turner. The rivalry was so close that lack of a majority for any speaker forced a second ballot. These votes were cast between the two who had tied before, May Frances Turner and Margaret Burden. In the end Margaret Burden won by a bare majority. The second contest was held the next week. It was indeed an exciting one. Mar- shal Lamm was chairman. The order of this program was: Makers of the Flag, by Glenn Manny Citizenship by Harper Barnes, and Americanism, by Elmer Oettinger. Though all of the declamations were splendid, Harper Barnes was selected by a unanimous vote to represent the school in the State contests. Harper won in the preliminaries at Duke and gained second place in the finals. We are expecting him to win out at Wake Forest.
