CAMPUS NEWS The first event of importance after the opening of school and the usual wel- coming of new faces on the campus, was the address by Dr. Snyder, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Fayetteville. He gave us a most interestin.g address on 4'The Value of Self from 2 Timothy 2: IS-22, vividly picturing the subject with the four main points into which life's values are divided: I. Natural endowment, or individual differences, 2. The use of one's natural endowment, 3. The proper relationship of one's natural endowment to earthly things, 4. The proper relation- ship of onels natural endowment to God. He pictured in a most artistic and figurative manner, the church as the great river flowing from the channel into the kingdom of God. We were very fortunate in having with us as our honored guests a member ofthe faculty and three students from The Flora McDonald College of Red Springs, North Carolina. The delegation visited our Training School and Chapel. They were very welcome visitors and expressed themselves as beingwell pleased with the school atmosphere as well as the work. Along with other inventions and new ideas the Normal department takes her place. On October the fourth, Stunt Night was artistically observed by a host of students, friends and relatives in and out of town. The stunts were original and uniquely arranged by towns. The towns represented were, Goldsboro, Rocky Mount, Kinston, Wilmington and Fayetteville. A miscellaneous group was made up of students from other towns. The affair was very spectacular and each town played its part well. Wilmingtoil was awarded the prize for giving the best stunt. The Wilmiri,gton girls acquitted themselves very creditably in depicting man from his savage stage down to the modern day. Wvilmington, Rocky Mount, Kinston, Goldsboro, and Fayetteville also won individual honors. The Thanksgiving season is long to be remembered around old S. N. S. Along with the usual thrill of the annual game, a superb costume play was given by the Normal department as their second feat of the year. The Spanish Opera was all that the name suggests and more. The brilliant lights and costumes, the soul stirring chorus, the excellent dramatic ability shown along with the aesthetic dancing of the children from the Pre-primer grade as well as those students from the Normal, were pleasing to both the eye and ear. All of our life can not be sunrgf, so State Normal received its rain when the entire city mourned with it over the death of one of the most cherished members of the faculty. Mrs. W. Seabrook was called to rest December I2, 1926. We shall always remember her as living a life which spread sunshine wherever she went. Page Tlziriy-four
