Talk Given to Student Body in Chapel
In the absence of Dr. Randolph, Mr. Mattfield gave the student body a talk in Chapel Sunday.
Mr. Mattfield chose as his theme, "Liars," and gave a very interesting and enlightening talk on the subject. As the lesson had to do with the supposed ''ai·ch liar," Annanias, and with his wife, he gave a little before unknown sidelight on this couple. He stated that though this man's name and falsehood were commonly
taken as almost synonymous, we
know of only one case where he ac-
aged above 90'fo and will be ex- empt from all study halls. Ernest Eutsler of Goldsboro, N. C., led the school with an average of 94.6'fo

so-called habit of "quibbling" was placed uncle!- discussion, and a good many found out that they were plain "liars" of a petty sort after all. The necessity of lying under certain so- cial obligations was also brought up, and the conclusion was finally reached that without this type of falsehood the world would be a very hard place to live in.
Mr. Mattfielcl also brought in the HonDr -system of V. E. S. in con- nection with the subject of lying. He said that the V. E. S. boys were very conscientious concerning any- thing which was in any way related to lying and that on some occasions
a boy had taken this idea to an ex- treme.

An Alumnus of the school, Mr. Johnson,· who is now con- nected with the University of North Carolina, paid a visit to the school on Tuesday, No-
vember 10, and gave a short
talk in Mr. Bank's class room
to the boys who were inter-
ested in going to colleg:e. He brought forth the advantages and disadvantages of both the large and the small colleges, but advised boys by all means
to go where they could get the most knowledge, or at least get the most benefit in other ways.

of '31. In the order of the number
returning, the class of 1931 led with
14 members; 1930 followed with 13, and 1928 with six.
The meeting was presided over by Harry Forsyth, '25, president of the association. The minutes of the previous meeting, held last field day,
were read by Mr. Zeb Vance Long, Jr., resident Alumni Secretary.
The business of this meeting con-
sisted of three main ideas: 1. To
enlarge the membership of the as-
sociation; 2. To have an alumnus
elected to the Board of Trustees of
the school; 3. To put the funds of
the association to some use which
will be of the most service to the school.
Senior Medal
In furthering the above named
ideas it was decided to lower the clues of the association, to propose one of the number for a position on the board, and to donate the Senior
Scholarship Medal to the school each year.
The meeting was featured with short talks by H. P. Costolo, coach of the Bishop football team, H., R.
