M. 0. A. Spends Friday And Saturday Speaking At Chappells School The Deputation team of the University Y. M. C. A. spent Friday and Saturday conducting a religious program at the Chappells schools at Chappells, S. C. Arrangements for the trip were made through Mr. W. J. Castine, principle of the school, and the student body and community cooperated in making each program a success. The team was composed of J. J. Brown, Jr., Lester L. Hamilton, and Berely M. Havird and arrived at Chappells in time to conduct the chapel exercises. After the regular chapel program, at which Brown talked on the "challenge of Christ to youth," blackboard talks were made in each of the classrooms and the rest of the afternoon was spent in getting acquainted. Friday night, after a chicken supper and a "cake walk," the team rendered a program in the auditorium around the theme of "playing the game." Havird talked on "learning die rules," Hamilton on "practicing," and Brown closed with "choosing the coach." Saturday morning the boys of the community were taken to the Saluda river on a weincr roast and games were enjoyed. Members of the team report that, as far as they are concerned, the programs were all they could wish for and the entertainment was superb. The program at Chappells marks the third appearance of the Deputation team this year. Two weeks ago the team was in Norway, S. C. for a two day program, on Dec. 1 a program was conducted at Columbia College, and on Dec. G and 7 team was ;it Chappells. An invitation has been received from the Parker high schools of Greenville, S. C. for Dec. 13. Deputation work is this year under the direction of J. J. Brown, Jr., and invitations have been received by him from schools in all parts of the state and teams will visit them as soon as arrangements can be made. The "Y" plans to purchase an automobile after the holidays, as that will make traveling more convenient. As a whole, Deputation work seems to be progressing very well this year and doubtless, numerous trips will be made before the end of the year. The personnel of the team will be varied from time to time in order to give a large number of students the opportunity to make trips. U.H.C.
