I AND NOVEL CHAPEL EXERCISE
One of the most entertaining and
enthusiastic chapel exercises held
this year was that led by “Noisy” Lee
assistant pastor of the Southside Bap-
.tlst Church and cheer leader of the
Rotary Club. Mr. Lee is a notable
singer and is especially gifted in con¬
ducting group "sings.” He’ has a mag¬
netic personality and a charmingly

Howard's debating council chal¬
lenged Birmingham-8oothern College
recently for a double-header and this
contest is now regarded as highly
probable. The challenge provides for
simultaneous debates at .both schools,
each having the affirmative at home
and the negative away, upon the sub¬
ject: “Resolved, That the' Federal
Government Should Enact Legislation
Embodying the Principles of the Kan¬
sas industrial Court for the Settle¬
ment of Industrial Disputes in Public
Utilities."
The question to be used In the Tri-
State Baptist debate is
rived more genuine pleasure from the '
work than did Hr, tee. He taught
them a popular new song and the stu¬
dents responded as they never have
before. Mr. Lee demonstrated to all
present what can really be gotten out
of a group of college boys and girls
by a man who to Wiling, and .eager to
give out to them the best and most
inspiring and enthusiastic side of bis
personality. The learning; pf the aapg '
which was unusually well adapted to
college students was a- rare treat.
Tht*, was varies by a few old folk
song* -which 'the students rendered
with more spirit and enthusiasm
than has been shown In chapel music
In some ttme. The en«m student
body was caught m the spell ot
“Noisy” Lee’s wonderful genius and
personality.
At the conclusion of Iesrning the
new song Mr. Lee attempted to re¬
tire but was encored and re-encored.
He was requested to sing a solo and
delighted his audience with a beauti¬
ful and tender little song, “Smilin'
Thru.” Mrs. Lee was Mr. Lee’s ac¬
companist and the students regretted
not having the opportunity of bear¬
ing her play some solos for she is s
real artist
It has been s long while since s
chapel exercise has created such uni¬
versal and genuine enthusiasm. The
entire student body Is looking forward
to another visit by Mr. and Mrs. Lee
and are hoping that they will fill all
of the program themselves.
