Tommy Umphlett, Doris Tandy, Brinson Paul, Donald Rose, >Iary Jennings, Easter: A Christian Festival Easter is the season which commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and is universally regarded as the chief of Christ ian festivals. Between the Jewish Christians and the Gentile Christians there arose very early a dis pute as to the proper date for the celebration of the resurrection. Uniformity between the two groups was not attained until the 7th cen tury. The date fixed by the Council of Nice in 325. now universally accepted, was the first Sunday after the full moon which follows the vernal equinox. If that full moon falls on a Snnday, Easter is the following Sunday. The times of the movable feasts in the Church calendar are reckoned from the date upon which Easter falls each year. In this connection, four periods closely connected with Easter should be mentioned: Lent, or the forty days preceding Easter Sunday; the per iod of Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sun day and ending with Easter; the Octave of Easter, extending from Easter to the follow ing Sunday; Eastertide, the season from East er Sunday to Whitsunday, or Pentecost. 7 weeks after Easter. -0—0- Water Over the Dam " Spring holidays are approaching. Beginning I'riday at the end of the last class period, stu dents and faculty alike will have a chance to get away to forget books and studies for a siiort while. After a cold dull season of winter months, the warm sunshine and spiing call for a gelting gutdoors and escape from an indoor Hie. It would be 'grand for life to be oae long wondeful spring holiday. But such is not to be, tor the holidays end Wednesday morning, March 28. at the 8-: 15 bell. As a bleak reminder before homegoing, the calendar says that mid-semester is at hand. That means tests, and grades to be sent home in heating what has been done witii time and inoney during the past nine weeks. After the grades are made, that’s ‘‘water over the dam”; blit it’s not too late to do something about the Vi'ater that goes over the dam during the next n:ne weeks. It will be getting still '.varmer, baseball bats will be swinging, preparations fc r May Day and the Freshmen-Sopi.omore “shindig” will be in the making,- another con cert will be heard, and a glee club program will be in rehearsal, and graduation won t be long away. It will be harder than ever to stick with history dates and English poetry and research oapers and calculus and economics, but it’s ’.v-'ter over the dam—remember. What Does Easter Mean to You? What does Easter mean to you Siately church with cushioned pew. Where. Lenten season gone at last Ap'd days of self-denial past. Richly-clad, devoted throngs 0| worshipers unite in son|;s 0| praise in lily-scented air? Is this what makes your Easter fair.^ Does it mean the end of winter’s reign, Bright skies and welcome warmth again. Singing of birds, budding of trees. Sweet spring odors on the breeze From daffodil and crocus bed And balsam branches overhead? Sad is the world and cold and gray. If this is all of Easter Day. I But if this blessed season brings A firmec faith in holy things; Assurance of a living Lord; A strengthening of the tender chord Of love that binds us to the life to come Where loved ones ’wait us in the heavenly home. No pain or loss can ever efface the bliss, Dear friend, or Easter when it means all this. —May Ricker Conrad 0—0 Play Director Trained Here “I think that the play will appeal to the local audience for several reasons: it's univer sal appeal, it’s air of mystery and suspense, it’s good wholesome fun.” Those are the views of fne director of ‘‘One Mad Night,” Mrs. Edwin I’. Brown. Mrs. Brown, a former student of Chowan, replied that her love for drama came very early in life—when she spoke her first lines at the age of three. It was, “Just Because It’s Me”. When asked where she studied, she proud ly raised her head and remarked, ‘ It was here ;it Chowan that I did all my dramatic study.” , She went further to say that it was under a very excellent teacher, named Irene Ulmer. She stated also that she enjoyed playing "Joe” in LITTLE WOMEN more than any part she had ever played. She likes tragic drama much more than she likes comedy. When asked her favorite play she replied, .‘’My but that’s a hard one. T have seen so many.” She is very much in favor of TV, but she does wish that the different stations v.'ould do "omething to their Friday. Saturday, and Sun- :.lay night shows. Friday night in particular •iince that is the night we let the kids sit up late. “Ten o’clock, she added hurriedly. “But I Jo think that TV can and is doing a lot for and opera.” 'Sefore leaving she added, “I have enjoyed working up here a! Chowan very much since u opened; it gives one such a friendly feeling.” by James Gillikin *~0-- O— 'They to the South"- Corn and Club WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: One Lucalian to one Alathenian—I don't see how they did it”.

Miss Keete/ to her beginning badminton class: “The object of th? game is to hit the birdie, not hit AT it”. Any student in lunch line: “What’s ior supper today, pork?” Bill T.— ‘‘ I have to look at Arirte Onley to see if her mouth is moving so I can go on with my line.” Miss Griffin to freshmen—I’m not going to te;i you what’s in Reader’s Guide. You’ll find cut for yourselves.” Charles B. — “Some freshmen may beat the veterans at their base ball positions”. Journalism class — “I don’t have my article today because . .

In the case of the girls, they’re most likely to wear sweaters and skirts, saddle shoes and as many aticles of plaid as they can afford Blue jeans, levis and sloppy dressing and passe. In the case of boys, they’re sticking to v/hite buckskin shoes, preferably dirty, gray flannels or blue jeans and corduroy jackets. There are however, a few college lads being launched around the country, as witness: Mount Holyoke girls are made for Bermuda shorts—longer than shorts, shorter than slacks firemen red sou-wtsters, army fatigue caps, and are knitting cable socks instead oi argyles. Wellesley girls, however, like yeliow slick ers with their initials in red nail pohsh. The men at Montana State are v/earing stocking caps of outrageous colors anJ usually wear ski ciOthes or Isyis and cowijoybots. At Cornell there’s a notable trend toward bow ties and knitted golf caps of brilliant col ors among the males. Lehigh has adopted, almost as a uniform, blue jans, sweat shirts and corduory jackets o£ maroon or bright green. Radcliffe girls are pretty dressy above the i:emline, but wear thick white socks and sneak ers or loafers below. At Stephens College in Missouri—and at the University of Kentucky — almost every student packs a ukelele. University of South ern California girls affect small scarfs knot ted tightly around the throat. Hood College, Maryland, girls are >vearing long flannel nightskirts. The coeds at the Uni versity of Kentucky like short hair with no curls worn with long pendant earring^. The Kentucky men are wearing black-colonel-type string ties with their (dirty) white buckskins. Princeton lads as well as those of the Unir vprsiy of California are found mostly in kliaki pants or blue jeans. But for student fads and fancies, Tuskegee Institute in Alabama takes prizes. Here is a sampling: Women students go in for colorful ties worn with blouses with French cuffs and man- style collars, stockings with designs on heels and ankles carry bright-colored umbrellas. The men have discovered berets, piaid linen caps, levis worn with flashy key chains, pastel colored dress shirts—and they carry large, old fashioned black umbrellas. Everybody, everywhere. is dong the C.'iarleston.
