Nell Fulghum, Mu,
Defeats Logan Vaught
As Badminton Champ
Cooper, Sigma, Constable, Mu,
Are Runners-Up
All work and no play makes Jill
a dull girl, doesn’t it? Yes, life
at Saint Mary’s consists of both
study and play. In addition to
concerts and athletics, there are
some favorite pastimes which, in
cidentally, are not on the required
list.
Characters and plot of this story
are very familiar. They concern four
sisters and the amusing and sad inci
dents in their lives which bring
about their ultimate happiness and
contentment.
Nell Fulghum, Raleigh, Mu, cap
tured the badminton tournament
for the Mu’s by defeating Logan
Vaught, Winston-Salem, Sigma, in
the badminton finals Monday, Feb.
17, two games out of three, with
scores of 15-4 and 15-11.
Characters were realistically and
very entertainingly portrayed. Meg,
the conservative, sensible, eldest sis
ter, was played by Janie Nance, Ra
leigh, while Jo, tom-boyish, ambi
tious, young writer, was played by
Violet LaRue, Raleigh. Sweet, quiet,
invalid daughter Beth, whose death
occurs in the course of the play, was
jjlayed by Betty Lou Rowland, Wil
low Springs, and social-minded Amy,
who grew up into a gentle, talented
young woman, was played by Vir
ginia Smith, Ridley Park, Pa.
Kind, understanding Mrs. March,
who, although burdened by troubles,
never neglected “her girls,” was por
trayed by Frances Collett, Morgan-
ton, and Mr. March, the invalid
father, idolized by his daughters,
was portrayed by Patricia Taylor,
Columbia, S. C.
Mr. Lawrence, the old, helpful
neighbor who aided the family in
their difficulties, was played by
Susan Jenkins, Goldsboro, and his
nephew, Laurie, who loved both Jo
and Amy, was played by Martha
Hinkle, Winston-Salem.
Aunt March, the rich dowager
aunt with the creaky voice, cane,
]>lumed hat, and kind heart, was
played by Fannie Mae Hudson,
Shelby.
Thoughtful, eccentric Professor
Bhaer, who loved Jo and married
her, was played by Preston Wescoat,
Moorestown, N. J.
John Brooke, the handsome, shy
fiance of Meg, was played by Eliza
beth Clarke, Manning, S. C., and
Hannah Mullet, the amusing cook
who became upset in the slightest
emergency was played by Ann
AVhicker, Tarboro.
Settings, although simple, created
an atmospliere of home life, and the
garden scene of the last act was gay
with benches, trees, picket fence, and
bird cage. Costumes, which were
gay and in keeping with the period,
and the twins, who appeared in the
third act, all added to the effective
ness of the stage and action.

Sai)it Mary’s “number one indoor
sport.” Even the most chartreuse
of beginners can become an ex-
l)ert after a few 9:30-10 ;00 ses
sions, and even the most serious
game is almost always hilarious.
Ps.ychiatrists sa}' a change of oc

restful also to devote one’s mind

PAL.ACE
(Prom P. 1, Col. 2)
Dr. Taylor explained Tuesday morn
ing. Fasting is the undertaking of
self-discipline to reach a higher end,
and this undertaking is easy if the
person knows and loves Christ.
Three points of prayer which he
brought out are as follows: letting
a problem hatch out to solution;
taking time to contemplate the di-
A’ine; the going out beyond petty
self and including the Avorld in one’s
interest and prayers. “Fasting is
the letting go of earth; prayer, the
taking hold of heaven.”

of Sir William Osier:
Be glad you’re alive.
Care for your body.
Don’t plan more than the day can

Round out your day’s tasks.
Rest Avhen you can, not Avhen you
must.
Keep the heart free from antago
nisms.
Begin and end the day Avith
Christ. ‘
