C. Mitchell IT IS UP TO YOU Parents, teachers, friends and fellow students, more teachers are needed to guide our men and women of to morrow. It is up to us, the people whom they love and respect, to show prospective teachers the way to help insure our American security. In order to have such a security, it is of vital importance that we have leaders. This can only come through the proper guidance and preparation handed to the youth by responsible and efficient instructors. It is our job as mothers fathers, citizens, Americans, and friends to point out to our young men and young women how badly they are needed in the teacher train ing field. In a few years our schools will be filled with healthy and lively children, who are to be our tomorrow’s leaders, but they, with the lack of proper training, may fall by the wayside and fail to do the job assigned to them by our hopeful anticipations. Once this has happened, we can then blame only ourselves, for the fault will truly lie within us, the leaders of today. —Anna White Observance of High School Senior Day Over three hundred high school seniors from neighboring towns in North Carolina were entertained on the campus on March 24. The admin istration, staff, and students worked together for the purpose of offering these young people simple orientation to the life and works of the college. An address by President S. D. Williams officially welcomed the visi tors. Seniors and their accompanying teachers were then directed by guides to the various places of interest on the campus. Demonstrations which were both entertaining and educational were given by several of the campus organi zations in the College Gymnasium. Lunch was served in the college dining hall. FUNNY JINGLES (With apologies to the Author) Love is like an onion You taste it with delight. And when it’s gone you wonder, Whatever made you bite. Women’s faults are many. Men have only two, E% erything they say. And evei'j'thing they do. BOOK REVIEW “Remember Me” by Barbara Col- land (1954) is a story of around Victoria, the close friend of Helen and Allen. It was Victoria who brought laugh ter and sadness to the people she held dear. Although her childhood was disrupted, she held fast to strong religious beliefs, even though she got into trouble because of them. Marriage changed her ideas. Another change came when Vic toria fell in love with the nephew of her friend Helen. It was he, Michael, who changed her whole life. But he went North, and she went into se clusion. Unfortunately, Victoria was killed, but Helen could not escape her in fluence. A cross bearing a Mexican inscription, “Remember Me” was kept as a token of Victoria. In this story lies the truth of the passage; Let your light so shine be fore men that they may see your good work and glorify your Father which is in heaven. —Dorothy Smith Student Council Has Election The Student Council held its elect ion of officers for the year 1954-55 May 18.

Man, in employ ing his reflective mind, has come a long way within the past century. He has created the science which is largely responsible for the present chaotic condition of the world. The atomic bomb is a product of scientific thinking, and it looms as a formi dable threat to the w'orld security. Consequently, in a divided world plagued with anxiety, man today stands between the cross-roads of survival or self annihilation. A chal lenge to his wisdojn has been issued to decide whether or not he shall survive or perish in the future. The choice lies widi man alone; for he is the arbiter of his own fate and destiny. H. Leon Prather, Instructor Social Science Department F. T. A. SPEAKER The members of the P. W. Moore chapter of The Future Teachers of America had as their speaker recently the Reverend E. E. Lewis. “The Mount of Temptation” was the topic of his address. The purpose of his talk was to show how to bridge the great gap between the old and new by offering a plan of escape rather than criticism as a sohition. He pointed out that prep aration does not end with the aca demic of the student’s profession, but rather, that is where it begins. Reverend Lewis said, “To be a successful teacher your sun must keep shining, even if your dream is temp orarily obscured behind the clouds of opposition. You must keep a com manding motive in the time and con dition in which it was made. Future Teachers of America will meet some thing that present teachers of America have been dealing with for the last twenty-five years. Some have suc cumbed to it. It is the “Mount of Temptation.” The speaker made clear to the F. T. A. members, college students, and others, that success in attaining a high place in one’s profession de pends upon remembering that the higher the star rises above the cheap sordid things in life, the greater its attraction becomes, the more people will se it, admire it. Yet for one bad move, the critics will “crucify” you. Everyone can plainly see this because once one has fallen into the gutter, regardless of intellect, or past achieve ments, the public will write the end.” In concluding the speech Reverend Lewis said. You can never avoid the Mount of Temptation, but you can say, “Get behind me, Satan.” —D Robinson A Quiz for English Teachers (With Apologies to the Author) English, they say, is the language most used, most spoken, most written most cruelly abused. The plural of box we all know is boxes, yet the plural of o.x is oxcj not oxes. One goose is a goose and two are called geese, then why isj’t more than one mouse called a meese? A mouse and his family are mentioncii as mice, but the plural of house is houses not hice. The plural of brother is brothers, or bretheren, and yet we say mothers, but never say metheren. The plnrij of man? The answer is men. Tkt plural of pan? Who’d dare say pen? If more than tooth, we’ll designate teeth, then why don’t we say more than one booth is beeth? If one thing is that, and three things are those, then why do we swear at cats and not cuss? A co» in the plural is sometimes the Idne. but whoever spoke of two vows as vine? You can double a foot and haw feet, but try as you will, you can! make root reet. If this in my hand were two it would be these and yet is the plural of kiss ever kese? We classify pro nouns as he, his or him, but never it‘s certain as she, shis and shim. No wonder then, foreigners nearly go mad, and speak our good Englisli atrociously bad. “SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY” Ladies, spring is here, so rememhei. “In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to love.” | Charm has been known througl the ages, yet few can define it Sent j women, asuming that chann meaif, no more than the power of attractioa think that learning to apply make-up and select becoming clothes will gaii i them admittance to the channers circle.
