I want to introduce to you a
very charming and lovely young
lady. She is none other than Miss
Barbara liusselt, quoen-clect of
Lake Junaluska, who will be
crowned in the Lake Auditorium
on August 18.
Barbara won her title in the '51
queen election at the Lake Tues
day) when she defeated three other
candidates. They were, her maid-
of-honof, Miss Betty Anne Robin
son; Miss Kitty Miller, and Miss
Nancy Hobbs. ;
Barbara hails from Greenville,
N. C, and has been coming to Lake
Junaluska each summer for about
16 years.
She was sponsored in Tuesday's
election by the Junaluska Soda
Shop. , (Incidentally, last year s
queen, the former Frances Cobb
and present Mrs. James Hart of
the Lake, was also sponsored by
the Soaa bhop.)
Barbara, who is the daughter of
Reverend and Mrs. Leon R. Rus
sell, is a sophomore at Duke Uni
versity, where she is also a mem
ber of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority
Being short and sweet (she is on
ly 5' 4") certainly were points lr
Barbara's favor in the recent clcc
tion. ;
She weighs only 106 lbs- has
brown hair and brown eyes
Being queen is no new job for
Barbara. She was Homecoming
Queen while a senior at Greenville
Hi. She also found time to be
cheerleader and cLass officer.
Another honor bestowed upon
her in high school was membership
in the National Honor Society
At Duke, Barbara is majoring in
.sociology.. i t,
She will certainly be a beauti
ful queen, and she was a wise selec
tion for the throne.
Miss Betty Anne Robinson, her
maid-of-honor, is another very
pretty girl. She is from Hickory
and goes to Lcnoir-Rhyne College
there.
This is her second year of work
at Lambuth Inn, which sponsored
her this year.

Beans Are Not Enough,
But Even Dining Halls
Require Fo undat i o n s
By HANK MESSICK
It is late; you are protected by
darkness. Look in the window. You
sec a circle of people in the center
of a large room. Most of them are
teen-age boys and girls, but there
is a sprinkling of older people.
What is in that green pile before
them, and what are they doing?
Snapping beans? And around the
circle an older man is walking.
He is playing a fiddle or is it a
violin? But more music is coming
from somewhere. Oh yes, over
there in the shadows is a piano
What is going on? Everyone
seems happy and carefree. Laugh
ter sounds often. You stand and
watch. The music continues as the
beans are snapped. And it is good
music; it must be a violin. But
now what? The beans are gone;
why it's, midnight! The people are
getting up, still laughing, still talk
ing. There is a moment of hesita
tion, and migosh,' they're square
dancing!
Puzzled, you turn away. Final
ly you decide that it is one of those
rural "get-togethers" , you used to
react about, when an memocrs oi
a 'community pitched in to have a
good time and help each other
work. That's what you decide, and
it's logical, but it's wrong.

stood looking in the window with'
the peaks of the Great Smoky
Mountains towering above you in
the night, was a prefreshman ori
entation seminar composed of stu
dents and teachers from Adelphi
College in Garden City, N. Y. Yes
that's what you saw: college stu
dents snapping beans at the Spring
dale Farms near Waynesville.
Why? How does bean snapping
and square dancing fit into a col
lege education? That is a longer
story than can be told here, but
the gist of it is this;
Adelphi College prepares stu
dents to become teachers. Enroll
ment is limited and the student
does not graduate until he obtains
his M.A. degree. Five years are
usually necessary. Adelphi believes
that teachers need to know people,
understand people, care about peo
ple not just their own kind, but
all kinds. The ability to communi
cate is the mark of a good teach
er; As explained by Dr. Agnes Sny
der, Chairman of the Faculty,
"Freshmen . students have been
working with books most of their
lives. They heed experience with
real problems. They need a con
structive rather than a critical out
look on life."
To achieve this goal, summer
programs are planned that bring
entering freshmen to Springdale;
that take more advanced students
into industry, commerce, social
service; that take still others
abroad for foreign study and travel,
then bring them back to do the
same thing in this country; that
finally take the prospective teach
er into actual classroom work.
The program at Springdale is
perhaps of greatest importance he
cause, for many, it is their intro
duction to reality. One of the fust
assignments of this year's group of
22 students was to study the prob
lem of rural sewage disposal. Al
ready that has taken them into out
houses, septic tanks, and sewage
pipes. One of the 17 girls in the
group, an attractive young lady,
remarked, "It was fascinating";
Next year they will study the
same subject in New "York City,
and will compare every aspect of
their findings with what they
found here. ' '
Another example might well he
the partly constructed dining room
the five boys found at Springdale
upon their arrival. Some of the
boys had never driven a nail, but
all pitched in and the dining hall
is now complete.
Students do everything, but more
s involved than the skill they ac
quire in the manual arts. The con
struction of a clothes line led to a
discussion that ended with the pro
found questioning of values. A
tour of farms introduces the stu
dent to the effect electricity, fertil
izer, farm and home demonstration
agents are having on the culture of
the region. Days spent at the Beth
el Cooperative Cannery put the
students side by side with women
of the community, where all work
together to gel the job done. Even
a (rip to Cherokee and the pageant
"Unto These Hills" is more than
entertainment. Another world is
opened, the world of justice and
Injustice, of minority groups, of
the motives of human conduct.
A visit to Knoxville and the TVA
area is perhaps the climax of the
summer's work. There students see
the past and future, and learn what
man can do to change the pattern
of the centuries.
J Ins constructive program at
Springdale began only this past
year as regards Adelphi College,
but as far back as 1932 the Farm
was being used as an experiment
in teacher's education. New Col
lege, a branch of Columbia Uni
versity; explored unanswered ques
tions there for seven years. When
the experiment was completed, its
chairman, Thomas Alexander, and
others, bought Springdale and con
verted it into a small school and
summer camp. The son of the form
er chairman, Richard Alexander,
now has charge, and, in addition, is
director of the work program for
Adelphi, The presence of children
is of great value to the future
teachers in preparing them for
what is to come.
The program of Adelphi College
is unique, and the part Springdale
Farms play in It. cannot be over
estimated. .The 'companionship, the
relationship of student and faculty,
the knowledge gained of how to
live together and with all kinds
of people; all these cannot be meas
ured. It is a constructive program that
is sorely needed in the building of
a constructive world. Now go back
and take another look through
(hat window, or, better still, go in
and join what you see.
