Vol. 2. No. 24. THE STUDENT BUILDING FUND Tour of the World Conducted by the Junior Class for the Student Building Fund. Any one who wishes to go with us on our tour of the world will come to the auditorium on Saturday night, April 22d, at 7:30 o'clock. The route includes Spain, Holland, Japan, Hawaii and America. Our agents have been in these countries for some time, and we hear that great preparations have been made for the entertainment of our guests. The Spanish men are tuning up their guitars and practicing love songs each night under the windows of their signoritas. In Japan great preparations are being made for the tea and cake, as the tourists may become tired and hungry. The Dutch boys and girls have heard of the expected visit and are practicing up on their parlor tricks. It is said that Hawaii is in a state of great excitement and that competitive songs are being sung to choose those who will be allowed to sing before the visitors. The home-coming of the tourists will be celebrated in America by a big dance. The gym. has been leased for this occasion and everything is prepared for a large celebration. Different companies have secured the rights for selling popcorn, homemade candy, sanwiches, ice cream, etc. Do not miss this wonderful trip. It is the chance of a lifetime. Round trip, 25 cents. Fare to any one country, 10 cents. THE STUDENT BUILDING FUND RAPIDLY GROWING.
Since the first of April, ninety-four dollars and seventy-four cents have been turned in to the treasurer of the Student Building Fund. At present the cash amount on hand is five thousand, seventyone dollars and thirty-two cents. Besides this, there are innumerable pledges to be paid, and hundreds of enthusiastic workers all over the State who are striving to make the Student Building a reality as soon as possible. AMONG THE COLLEGES. The famous negro quartet from Hampton visited Roanoke College at Salem, Va., on April 4, 1922. Plans are being made for a May Festival at the University of South Carolina.

Farmville, Virginia. DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS FOUR ONE-ACT PLAYS.
April 14, 1922. NEWS IN BRIEF. Miss Helen Patton and Miss Virginia Anderson have been elected to membership in the Pi Kappa Omega Society. The Y. W. C. A. recently received a legacy of thirty dollars from Mrs. W. W. Watkins, the mother of Kate Friend and Nannie, who graduated from S. N. S. in the classes of 1909 and 1911, respectively. Misses Elizabeth Moring, Gwendolyn Wright and Lois Williams gave talks in chapel on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings of last week, explaining to the student body the plans for entertaining the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Training Council held here last week-end. On Friday night, April 7th, the advisory board of the Y. W. C. A. entertained the visiting cabinets and the old an new cabinets of S. N. S. in the tea room. On Saturday afternoon from 5 to 6 the members of the Y. W. C. A. council were taken automobile riding. In the evening they were guests of Dr. Jarman at the Dramatic Club plays.
The four one-act plays, "The Shepherd in the Distance," "Joint Owners in Spain," "The Maker of Dreams" and "The Slave With Two Faces," which were presented on both Friday and Saturday nights, April 7th and 8th, proved to be another Dramatic Club success. The pantomime of love and adventure, "The Shepherd in the Distance," was perhaps the most effective of the plays, because of the truly Oriental atmosphere produced by costumes and dances. The principal parts of this play were taken by Cabell Gilmer, the Princess, and Mary Friend, the Shepherd, both of whom displayed their usual skill and grace in their dancing. Other dances were performed by Eliza Davis and Charl ineMoir, the two slaves; Julia Clark, the goat, and the chorus of slave dancing girls. GhurriWurri, the beggar, the part played by Rena Luck, and the Wazir and Vizier, Martha Wells and Frances Bargamin, gave to the play the ludicrous and humorous strain which appeals to any audience. "Joint Owners in Spain" was the story FIELD DAY. of two old ladies in an old ladies' home who could get on with no one else in the "Oh, Skinny!
