For sixteen eventful years the ’ town of Lubondai in the Belgian Conga was the home of our little girl. During this time, Dot, for it is Dot Longenecker, went to Central High School in Lubondai. She has crossed the ocean seven times in the course of her travels, the last time being when she was sixteen. Since that time she has attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond, Va., and Queens College. She has leen active in many fields, serving readily and capably as president of S. C. A., president of the League of Evangelical Students, treasurer of the Camera Club, and book review editor for the Queens Quill. She is a mem ber of Alpha Kappa Gamma, Execu- i:ive Council,! Honor Council, and was chosen this year for Who’s Who in American Universities and Colleges. Believe it or not, her first loves are: long walks, mustard pickles, littens, poetry, and, of course, unat tainable trips to the Congo.

Dot fondly addresses him as “Ngandu.”) She must like animals, as her favorite song is “The Little Red Fox,” and her pet possession is “Reproachful,” the soleful-eyed pup she stole from Mary Elva Smith! Is there any need for me to repeat that Dot is a grand friend, an able eader, a dependable worker, a good sport, and to all those with whom she comes in contact, a shining light. -V,.., ^ (By Special Release from American Red Cross) democratic student government?

It seems that W. and L. is getting popular around Queens. First there was Flora MacDonald and then Betty Burgess. Could that mean a rival for The Citadel? That seems to just about wind up this week’s fifth column, so until next time, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. Queens Lookout Last week Dr. Hunter B. Blakely presented in this column the story of Queen Victoria’s high refuge, ‘Queen’s Lookout.” This Do you often use your “Queen’s Lookout”? Do you go to Bethel often and renew your experience there? called the week we are suggesting that we re turn often to our lookout, that we have a quiet place near to God where we can renew our experience and keep our perspective. A very interesting illustration ofj this is given in Genesis 36 where Jacob, who had dreamed of a ladder at Bethel when he fled from Esau, decided at God’s moving to go back and renew his experience there. Henry W. Grady, who was a great American journalist, was born almost a century ago in Athens, Ga. He lived the life of a busy newspaper man “There is a place of full release Near to the heart of God. A place where all is joy and peace Near to the heart of God. “Oh, Jesus, blest Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God Hold us who wait before Thee, Near to the heart of God.” in the hustle of city life. Every once in a while, when he was on edge and needed help, he would go back to his old home to be with his mother. There once when he was under special strain, he is said to have knelt at his mother’s knee and repeated over again with feeling the little prayer. Now I lay me down to sleep.” Then he kissed his mother and said, “Mother, I want you to tuck me in tonight as you used to do and kneel by my bedside to pray for your son.’ He got his bearings by going back to a Bethel experience, and went forth to fight his battles with renewed strength. He put aside false gods of ideas which pressed upon him in his busy world and caught once again not only a new glimpse of how he might climb the ladder of life, but also of the power and grace of Goc as He led him along the way. Lifers Center There’s a spot in my heart that’s sacred. And it’s never open to show. For it’s kept as a sacred tristing place Where only I can go. I try to keep it worthy Of the Presence it may share, For now an4 then right often My God and I meet there. And when the world seems lonely And I’m troubled or I’m sad, I just stop and have a meeting, And then my heart grows glad. It’s a sacred place of meeting That this world needs today. For too many things are common, And loved things, bizarre. The swirling mass goes onward. Each following empty strife. They never remember the sacred place. The center of every life. —Pete Munroe. \ ?-■ .. «
