Four COLUMNS Tuesday, May 25, 1954 Who's Who Tyron Lacaster “Have something to eat. We have cookies, sandwiches, cake, nabs, and anything you want,” are always the first words one hears from room 300M as he steps in side. They come clearly, simply, kindly, and unselfishly from one of the most admired boys on cam pus. Who is this guy? You guessed it — none other than Tryon Lan caster. He is never too busy to say “hello” or offer a smile wherever or whenever you meet him. Tryon hails from Fayetteville and graduated from Massey Hill High School in 1952 as one of the outstanding members of the class. He was an active member in many clubs while in high school. He has recently become a mem ber of Beta Phi Gamma, a national co-educational journalistic frater nity. He has been an active mem ber of the Y. M. C. A. both years here at Louisburg. He was chos en by Marilyn Baker this year to be her escort in the May Court. Tryon is a member of the Meth odist Church. He is very willing to help in anything concerning Church work. While at home, he teaches the young' people’s class and is pianist for the Sunday School. Tryon is majoring in elementary education a'nd minoring in French. He plans to continue his educa tion at High Point College next fall. It has been said that his “pet peeve” is going to movies on niphts before a quiz. One good thing about Tryon ^ when he wakes up in the morn ing, he serves as an alarm clock. I’m sure that every boy on third floor Main really appreciates him. Tryon is a care-free lad. He takes things as they come. He couldn’t be called a “book worm” and yet he studies enough to make a little-above-average grades. Tryon will be a great success in life because he is reaching for an upward and honorable goal. Good luck to the boy that deserves it. STUDENTS HEAR CHIEF OF POLICE HARDING The chapel program on May 14 was conducted by Henderson Po lice Chief Harding who spoke on the problem of juvenile delin quency. Mr. Harding has been active in the research in this field for six years. He received, an award from J. Edgar Hoover' in 1953 for being the. outstanding authority on juvenile delinquency in the country. Mr. Harding described, to a small degree, the criminal career of John Dillinger, explained some of the methods the F. B. I. uses in tracking down criminals, and emphasized the importance of keeping dope out of the schools and the country in general. He showed pictures of two students, a boy and a girl, who had become users of dope, which showed the harmful effects of the dope on their bodies. The police chief condensed his usual hour lecture to fit the half- hour chapel period. He ended his speech by emphasizing the fact that in the end, crime does not pay.

Dr. Janies Franck Speaks in Durham The American Association of University Women of Louisburg was invited to attend a dinner meeting in Durham. Guest at this meeting was Dr. James Franck, professor emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Chicago'k He spoke on “Impact of Science on Society.” Four of our college faculty members attended this meeting. They related the following story in explaining Dr. Franck’s speech. Explains Science The speaker pointed out to the audience that “science is the at tempt of the human mind to un derstand programs, to find out the truth back of something.” He al so made a comparison of applied science to pure science. He show ed how man used applied science as long ago as time records. He used the illustration of a man using the sling shot to add force to the rock throwing. Dr. Franck also added that sci ence has an influence of the stu dent just as religion. “A scientist must admit when he is wrong and having the courage and ob jectivity to tell the truth. He must study nature and the laws of na ture, to study and admire things outside of self. With a true scient ist Lord and Nature are synony mous.” Comments on A-Bomb In his speaking of the obligation of the scientist to society he com mented briefly on the atomic bomb. He said that scientists made the bomb because they were scientists and not because they wanted to make an instrument of destruction. He added that “Rus sia undoubtedly had spies who stole secrets from the United States, but that these secrets only speeded Russia’s bomb a matter of a few months.” He said the hopeful thing about the world situation and the atomic bomb is the very fact that both sides are in danger of complete annihiliation from such powerful weapons of destruction which will act as a deterrent against war and make men settle their problems peacefully. SCENE OF MAY DAY POLE DANCE W Dr. Ann Blumenfeld Speaks in Kentucky Dr. Ann Blumenfeld, head of the Department of Foreign Modern Languages at Louisburg College, spoke Saturday, April 24, 1954,! on “Experiment in Teaching' French to Children from the Ele- ' mentary School” at the Seventh University of Kentucky Foreign Language Conference at Lexing ton, Kentucky. The Conference lasted three days, April 22-24. The speech reflected Dr. Blu- menfeld’s current experiment in teaching French to a small class of Mills School children. Their ages range from seven to ten years. The session runs for about forty minutes twice a week and are held at the College. The oral ap proach has been dominant through out the classes. In North Carolina the teaching of French to children is considered a novelty; on the na tional scene, it follows an increas ingly widespread and popular trend in foreign-language instruc tion. IX)UBLE FEATURE It was an entertaining movie, but the women behind us were much more interested in their own conversation. “You know when George and I were in Cincinnati we were—” one woman was chat tering, when her voice trailed off momentarily as something on the screen claimed her attention. Then she continued, “Oh, yes now where was I?” My companion turned and said in a resounding volc6, “Madam, you were with George in Cincin nati.” Readers’ Digest Oak Staff Celebrates Completion of Annual At Weiner Roast Recently on a warm evening, the Annual Staff celebrated the completion of the 1954 Oak with a wiener roast at Mitchiner’s Pond. As a rain check, Dr. Elam, phar macist at Boddie’s Drug Company, lent his cabin. The evening began with the crackling of the fire and the odor of smoke soon replaced by the scent of wieners, onions, marsh mallows, and all the trimmings. After the roast the group enjoy ed sitting around the fire ex changing jokes, ideas, and opinions. Mr. Pruette, sponsor of the staff and chaperon, charmed the group with his tricks. Later, the chill and a few mos quitoes forced their victims into the cabin where dancing concluded the evening of entertainment.

DETERMINED (Continued from Page 3) He works night and day until his goal is reached. Every important act, plan, purpose, and ideal in his life first take place in his mind. He developes his thinking powers along positive and con structive lines. The student who wants to succeed will make an honest and efficient effort, but will often stop short of the goal. The student who is determined to make a success keeps on until his goal is reached. The determin ed student perpetually pushes himself to choice success. Each day he lays out for himself a little more than he thinks he can do. Then he really attempts to. do it. Thereby he develops a surprising capacity for worjt. He learns to eliminate waste time. He has confi dence in himself and takes ad vantage of the opportunities that surround him. He realizes that his success is largely determined by the state of his mind and the amount of honest effort put into his work. The determined stu dent believes there is a limita tion to his capabilities, but finds it hard to reach. —John LeMay, 1954 HONOR ROLL R. A.
