-Dedicated To The Extra-Curricular Activities- MERRY CHRISTMAS Qty* %?t\\$tn HAPPY NEW YEAR 'The Cream of College News' Vol. XXXIII No. 3 A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C, December 20, 1938 Price 5c Delegates to the 1938 Honorary Conference Christmas Cantata Is Planned The Men's Glee Club, organized in 1936, made an enviable reputation for itself during that year. Good voices coupled with hard work enthusiastically entered into by all members produced a unit praised for its direction, warmth of tone and artistic finish. Last year it joined hands with a vastly improved choral society and in the many concerts both at home and abroad splendidly upheld its reputation for workmanship of high quality. The addition of ne wvoices of unusual calibre make the prospects for this year a particularly bright one. The new members have become imbued with the spirit and enthusiasm of the old members, and are working hard in preparation for the Christmas concert which is just ahead and for the annual winter tour. This year the club will con- certize through North Carolina during February. Appreciation for the meritorious singing which the (Continued on Page 8) Christmas Program The annual Christmas program of the combined choral organizations of the A. and T. College Music Department will be held Sunday, Dec. 18, 1938 at 5:30 P. M. in the college gymnasium. During the past two years these Christmas programs, under the direction of Warner Lawson, head of the Music Department, have set high standards of artistic achievement in choral ensemble singing. The organizations this year, augmented by new voices of unusual merit, have been working diligently in the preparation of this year's program and it is expected that again the occasion will be of great interest and beauty to music lovers of Greensboro. As has been the tradition, the program will consist of carols from several countries and special Christmas music by such composers as Warrell, Vaughn Williams, Tsch- aikovsky, Prothero, Schubert, Bach and Wilhousky. Honorary Societies Conclude Sessions The second annual conference of the Federation of Honorary Scholastic Societies met here at A. and T„ November 25-26, 1938. The conference theme was "The Next Step in Negro Honorary Societies." The following organizations answered the roll call, Tuskegee Honorary Society, Tuskegee, Ala.; Eta Sigma Tau, Knoxville College; Alpha Epsilon, Bennett College; Zeta Rho Chi, Bluefield State College; Sen Mea Rehk, Wilberforce University; Phi Beta Tau, Tennessee A. and I. College; Alpha Delta Sigma, West Virginia State; Alpha Omicron, Shaw University and Gamma Tau of A. and T. There was a unanimous voice of approval to the motion that last year's officers be re-elected. The ayes had it, so in order they are; Dean J. C. Evans of West Virginia State, executive chairman and Miss Georgia L. Jenkins of Tenn. A. and I. executive secretary. There were a number of interesting personages on the campus. Dr. Gilbert H.

During the past two concert seasons, an enviable record has been made by these blended voices. Last year the addition to the society of many excellent female voices served in a large measure to raise the rich tone quality of the Choral Society to an elevation parallel with the Men's Glee Club. Last year the group made many trips both in North Carolina and in neighboring states, the most outstanding of which were the 700 mile trip to Tenessee four days, presenting concerts in some of the most outstanding cities of the state. On each occasion the audience was highly appreciative and exhibited its gratitude by the favorable responses to the presentation of the group. Mrs. Allen Jay Kiser, a resident of Kingsport, Tennessee remarked after the Kingsport recital, "Every number was a work of art." At Virginia State in May, 1938, the group was at its best and was without doubt a credit to our institution. John M. Gandy, President of Virginia State College said, "Well blended voices coupled with a sureness of tone always make for a good program." A reputation such as the one (Continued, on Pa0*? 8) The A capella Choir and the Men's Glee Club are preparing for several very important concerts before the Christmas holidays. They have been invited to appear at the City Auditorium in Raleigh, N. C. in a program sponsored by the College Women's Club on Sunday, December 11. They will also appear in full concert at the John M. Langston High School in Danville, Va. on Monday, Dec. 12, and at the County Training School in Roxboro, on Friday, December 16th. Attention Freshmen! The Alpha Nu Chapter and the Scrollers club of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity wishes to call your attention to the fact that they will give a social to the twenty-five highest ranking freshmen for this quarter (Fall). This social will be given some time during the winter quarter at which time the fraternity will honor you for your achievement in the realm of college competition. Signed, —Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Women Occupy New Residence At last, the young women have begun living in the new spacious Holland Hall. Unless you were familiar with the congested living conditions of the women prior to their change of residence, it would be hard to appreciate how much the change means. What a consolation it is for the girls to know that they don't have to tolerate more than one roommate; that adequate bathroom facilities permit them to get dressed more quickly in the mornings; that it is actually quiet enough to study; that the three parlors accommodate more than five or six couples; that the dormitory is distant enough from the rest of the compus to afford the lazy ones a fair amount of exercise during the day. The building is already filled to capacity and increasing enrollment will demand another new structure in the near future. Here's hoping it won't take as long for the next dormitory to materialize. "Don't Be Campus Cow/' B. C. Advises The following resolutions were taken from the report of the "A. and T. Improvement Committee" in the short skit written by Miss E. P. Hicks, instructor in the Business Department, and presented by the Business Club at the regular hour on Friday, December 9th. It is the desire of President Bluford that every student of the campus as well as faculty members execute these resolutions during the next quarter in order to improve (Continued on Page 8) Pan-Hellenic Council Offers Scholarships At a recent meeting of the Pan- Hellenic Council of this college, the eight member organizations voted to offer a scholarship to some student leader during the next and subsequent school years. The scholarship, which carries a monetary stipulation of $50.00, will be awarded to some member of the freshman, sophomore or junior class who shows excellence in deportment and scholarship and activity in at least one major division of the extra-curricula program. The recipient of the award must be a resident student of the College; he must have been in attendance (Continued on Page 8) Rev. Vernon Johns Holds Sacred Week Reverend Vernon Johns of Charleston, W. Virginia, conducted the Religious Emphasis Week Services at A. and T. College on November through December 4th. With no particular theme in mind Rev. Johns, talks were centered around "Religion In Its Deepest Sense." One of the speaker's most inspiring lectures was entitled, "Three Necessary Experiences With God." Taking his text from the book of Genesis, Rev. Johns told of the three experiences man had with God. The first experience that man should have with God, according to Reverend Johns, is that of adventure. He pointed out that God keeps before us the roads of adventure, discovery and inquiry and that the world owes much to pioneers and those who started an adventure but didn't know where they were going — for example — Columbus, who unconsciously discovered America. Rev. Johns said that there resulted a multiplication of inventions and conveniences by adventure in science and pioneering with natural forces. The rights of Negroes was a result of moral and (Continued on Page 8) Attention Former Editors The January edition of the Register will be dedicated to the former editors. The editor would like for all former editors to contact him before January 8, 1939. It is desired that all will cooperate with the staff in this effort as we are anxious for the student body to know something about you. Information concerning your work, private life, and photographs will be appreciated. —REGISTER STAFF Front Entrance New Girls' Dormitory
