January 28 and 29-Reed
Goes to Charleston
"The Truth," will be staged again to
night. The same cast will perform as
before. Those who have not seen it will
have the opportunity to see Mrs. Dab
ney Barnes and Mr. Harold Tatum act
the leading parts in a pure comedy.
"The Doctor in Spite of Himself," a
three act farce by Moliere and "Be
trayal" by Padraic Colum w'll be given
at the Town Theatre Friday and Sat
urday, January 28 and 29.
Mr. Reed goes to Charleston tomor
row to give "Spoon River." Judging
from the success in Columbia, it is ex
pected that a large audience will hear
him, among which will be Edgar Lee
Mastres, the author of "Spoon River
Anthology."

THOMAS ELECTED TO
HEAD OF PRESS CLUB
(Continued from Page One)
"The second and final point is that
I think the custom set this year of
having the meetings in the homes of
the people of Columbia is a good one
and should be kept up. It changes the
tone of the meetings and adds that
thing which so many of us want, the
touch of the home. I do not believe
in narrowing the speakers down to
those on the mere technique of news
paper work. A newspaper man or a
writer is a listener, or has a seat in
the show to see the events of the world
go by. As soon as he enters the scene
himself, the picture becomes obscure.
We should have different programs
each time-verging from that like Mr.
Hickey's talk on the Associated Press
to that of Prof. Kilpatrick's on Rus
sia. It would probably be a good idea
to get the chief of police one time, the
manager of one of the large depart
nient stores, a minister, a member of
the State Hospital staff, a president or
cashier of a bank, anything that will
give a certain side of life that we are
unable to get from casual observance,
We, the officers and members of the
social cabinet are sorry that we could
not have more varied programs this
year, but we make no excuses-the
idea was new and no co-operation was
ieceived from the members other than
the social committee or program coM
mittee-and here let me say that what
has been accomplished this year is lte
principally to Miss Hughes, Miss.
Lindsay, and Mr. Pate, the three mmii
bers of the committee mentioned pre
viously."
Upon1 assuming the office Mr. Thomn
as thanked the members of the Club
and malade a plea for their cooperation
in all matters pertaining to the club.
"I am open to suggestions at all
times,"~ he sa'dl, "andl I want the hearty
cooperation of every member of the
Press Clubh towards making this organ
ization of the best of its kind."
Memibershmip in the Press Club at
Present is open to all students in the
Schoo of Journalism and members of
the staffs of thme stud(ent pubillicat'ons.
At the meeting Wednesday night plans
wvere discussed b)y which membership
in the club may be regulated and put
on a regular basis. This wvas referred
to the Executiv'e Committee.
The Executiv'e Committee is com
posed of the v'ice-president, Miss Em
ily Hughes, who is ex-officio, chairman,
Miss Elizabeth Hardy andl Mr. W.
Lee Crocker.
W. Lee Crocker (chairman), H. H.

for the program committee.
Ac the conclusion of the business
meeting the club adljournedl to the
Hermes Club room where dancing and

the remainder of the evening.

Eight O'clock Class
Has Compensations
Feeling of Comraderie Toward
Fellow-Sufferers Going to
as& Witnessed
Even an eight o'clock class has its
compensations. Those of us who have
to pile out from under the warm covers
th=sefrosty mornings keep up the
grumbling until we are out on the
campus going to class. Then the sit
uation changes. Well, we're up and
out anyway and there's something in
that. But stranger still is the inex
plicable feeling pf comraderie we feel
toward our fellow sufferer going to an
early class.
Tere is something in the air be
sides its cuspness, a sort of feeling
that we are not alone in our misfor
tune and a feeling too, of martyrdom
that has its satisfaction in being able
to greet the other with "These eight
o'clock classes are h-, aren't they?"
and to hear his cherry response, "They
sure are." Ungrammatical, of course,
but who thinks of grammar at 8 a.m.?
Jack (showing his girl his tobacco
farm)-Now here is a plan in full
bloom.
Girl-How long will it he before the
cigars are ripe?

dard graduate work, distributed as fol- t
lows:Two quarters at Columbia Uni- c
versity, two quarters at the University a
of Soth Carolina, and six quarters at I
Peabody. s
A review of Doctor Parkinson's I
teaching career shows how he has gone t
upward, step by step, climbing, though, 11
in a hurry. He taught three months in, r
Mary's Grove and Prosperity, Tenn., c
one teacher schools, in the summer of r
1907 and 1908, respectively. In 1909 he I
went to Laurens high to teach English, 1
and after one year .there was given the Is
added duties of principal. In 1911 he 6
moved to Albemarle, N. C., to become a
superintendent and also teacher of the l
tenth grade. He remained there until I
the fall of 1914 when he returned to s
Laurens to become superintendent. He \
was in war work from 1918 to 1920, i
when he was appointed state high
school inspector which he resigned in v
