Mrs. Williamson, nee Lois Faires, an F.M.C. alumna, was an interesting visitor to the college last week when she gave an address on Mexico Sunday night in the auditorium. Mrs. Williamson is a missionary to that field from the Southern Presbyterian church.
Visitors in town for the Lentz quartette which gave a concern this past Monday were: Mr. and Mrs. Wharton, Miss Katherine Wharton and Miss Jane Dickson Vardell, who came down through the country from Greensboro.
Miss Ruth Vardell is in Red Springs staying with her mother, Mrs. C.Y. Vardell, at the new McEachern home. Miss Vardell expects to be here until the last of May.
Mrs. Hammond left Red Springs last week for Atlanta, Ga. She was wired of a family reunion being held there, and will be gone for a while.
A most novel recital was given last Friday here in the graded school building in the afternoon and in the evening. Miss McRuer, who is “Whistling “ for Christian education in the Southern Presbyterian church, gave one of the most unique and fascinating recitals ever heard here. Miss Mruer whistles in her throat and to describe the bird-like melody that pours fourth would be impossible. When quite young, she lost her teeth and found then that she could still whistle—only in her throat. The recital was for the schools here. Mrs. Robeson and Miss Mandeville assisted her.
Red Springs has continued to win all baseball games and is now in the State race for the championship for a positive fact. The first game on schedule in the elimination series was with Chapel Hill last week. Chapel Hill forfeited, however, and Red Springs has advanced automatically forwards their goal. Never has such enthusiasm been displayed about sport as now for the victorious baseball team. The local players have a large and interested retinue of followers.
The well-known Letz quartette delighted the people of the surrounding community last Monday evening in Flora Macdonald college auditorium. From the opening strains of a beautiful Beethoven quartette, the musicians had the rapt attention of the audience. Beethoven was followed by a charming Suite of Debussy in four movements. The tone color, shading, delicacy of touch and perfect blending would be impossible to decide. However, the four players fully justified the name of being one of the best and foremost quartettes in America.
