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.

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. The coronation will again Library Notes - -. MARGARET JOHNSTON COUNTY LIBRARIAN Pvt. Kenneth Styles Pvt.

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. What you actually saw, as you year be under the direction of Richard Crowder and his assistants, and promises to be equally as beau tiful as the nast programs have this been. . , Lng5cloivn'i ii 1 1 yes a I three- ,o ill .aQ DOUIlt ITIENOTH I6CE Splally dtilf4 cHi pn- KINGSDOWN lwvi Ik 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.
