T 4 IILQ . .O gg- . A QDJ' eslnv at f 1 'll'lll 5 STUNT NIGHT One of the most enjoyable events of the mid-term was '4Stunt Night, which occured on the night of February 12, in the high school auditorium. It was given for the benefit of the High School Parent-Teacher Association and a good sum was realized. Each class presented an original stunt. The stunt which received the first prize of five dollars was the one put on by Class 9-E, number two. It represented a group of little girls in an orphan asylum with Miss Jean Crowell as their matron. She put them through their usual morning exercises, much to the enjoyment of the audience. Class 9-E, number two-, presented their prize of five dollars to the Seniors for the benefit of the Annual. The second prize of two dollars was won by Class 8-A. The members of 8-A represented a school class with Miss C'lara Davis Porter as its teacher. She called the roll and the names of the students were the same as the names of the present faculty. 8-A also presented its prize for the benefit of the Annual. After the presentation of the stunts, ice cream cones and candy were sold for the benefit of the Annual. The evening will be remembered pleasantly by all who attended. DAVIDSON GLEE CLUB CONCERT, APRIL 8, 1921 Friday, April 8, 1921, the Davidson College Glee Club presented an entertain- ment under the auspices of SNIPS AND CUTS. The entertainment, which consisted of a concert and vaudeville combined, was held in our high school auditorium. The performance was enjoyed by all attending. The quartet was exceptionally good. The vaudeville act was also noteworthy, as well as the acrobatic stunts which were greeted with a shower of warm applause. The VVildcat jazz Orches- tra, which, by the way, certainly lives up to its name, sent the audience into shivers of ecstasy. The Glee Club Chorus, made up of nineteen men. sang many folk songs and popular airs, of which all were thoroughly enjoyed. Although the performance was very poorly attended, it proved the source of a great deal of pleasure to the few present. The time has come for the Annual to go to press and our spring activities have hardly begun. The Senior-junior party, class banquet, and many other parties and dances will be enjoyed by us this spring. Thus we will carry away many happy thoughts and memories of the years spent in the good old Charlotte High School. 156
