theme TO BE OF I
LOUIS XVI PERIOD;
The »nnu»l May D«y festival of
Atlantic Christian College will be |
held on the front campus Satur
day, April 29th, at five o’clock in
the' afternoon. The festival this
year is under the direction of Miss
Frances Gurganus, who is being
assisted by Miss Ruby Barnes and ^
three faculty members; Missj
Eleanor Snyder, Miss Sadie Jen-1
kins and Mrs. Hilley. The theme i
of the festival is the crowning of |
Queen Virginia and the time is in
the period of Louis the XVI. i
Every year at this time a queen i
is crowned at the old castle of j
Christinia. At this festival time,
all the subjects of that little king-!
dom gather at the castle to make
merry and to hail the coronation
of the queen and king. This year
the subjects have gathered for the
coronation of Queen Virginia. The
coronation is held first and then
all the personal servants of the
queen and of the royal household
dance before the throne to gain
the approval of the new rulers.
There are seven dances on the
festival program. The cooks,
milkmaids, chambermaids, black,
birds, Knights,, and a professional
group of Grecian dancers per
form for the newly crowned rulers.
At the end of the fete there is
held the traditional May Pole
dance in which the young girls of
the little kingdom perform.
The dances performed by the
cooks, milkmaids and chamber
maids are done by groups of girls.
These are the household servants
of the castle and the performers
are dressed in costumes favorable
to their position.
The Knights are four in num
ber and will dance before }he rul
ers in full battle array.
The ■ blackbirds enter the hall
in a huge pie. This dance is de
signed to represent the blackbird
pies that were commonplace in
that period. The pie is brought
in by the court jesters and before
it is cut the blackbirds emerge
and dance before the rulers.
The Grecian dance is performed
by 8 troupe of professional danc
ers who have been ordered to the
coronation by the rulers. This
dance is very stately and follows
the ballet style.
The queen will be dressed in a
beautiful white ailk gown trim
med in silver. Over this gown
she will wear the robe of royalty
and will be crowned with a lovely
jeweled crown and will hold in
her hand the jeweled scepter of
her rank.
The king will be adorned in the
robe of his rank and will also
wear a jeweled crown and have a
scepter.

A large crowd enjoyed the an-
nual Stunt Night in the gym Fri
day night, March 31st. This was
another of the many attempts of
the Junior Class to raise finances.
And the night was a success, fi
nancially and otherwise. The first
prize of two dollars was awarded
to the Phi Delta Gamma fraterni
ty for the best stunt. It was a
skit written and directed by one
of its own members, Chester
Johnson. The scene was the cam
pus of Atlantic Christian College;
the time was any hour of the day
during Freshmen Week; the
cast of characters included a
group of green freshmen boys
making humorous observations
about the faculty, studenU, and
campus. The second prize of one
dollar was awarded to the Minis
terial Club, who forgot their dig
nity and solemnity to have a lot
of fun. The minister* performed
an operation on a hapless victim,
who felt a great deal better be
fore tTie operation than after,
wards. The stunts were judged
on flie basis of originality and
effect. Faculty members, Jenkins,
Lehman, and Harper acted as
judges.
The other stunu were very
amusing to the crowd and deserve
some recognition here, A song

Panel Discussions
Panels Are The Result Of
Kmphasis Week
As a reiult of the panel dis
cussions held recently during the
iCvligious Kmphasis Week, there is
iruiiig lo bf* hold m of
such panel discussions growing
out of the needs and experiemL'2
of the studrnt body. It has been
expressed by many of the facul
ty and iitudents the desire to dis
cuss freely certain problems that
arise in the life of every young
person. Couseijuently, the stu
dents themselves, with the aid of
a few faculty members and the
sanction of the Ueligious Kduca.
tion Committee, are working on
the psncls lo be held on regular
chapel programs in the near fu
ture. It is the hope of the group
Ihut these* discussions will be at*
tended by a large audience, and
that they will lake part either by
speaking from the floor or think
ing through the problem with
those who are leading.
The first discussion will be cen
tered around the use of profanity
and slatig. Many questiona and
phases of the subject could be
thought upon and brought open
for account.
The second discussion will be
centered around the attitude to
ward work. This work will in
clude academic, college, and life’s
work in general. This should be
especially pertinent to college stu
dents since they are preparing
themselves for their life's work,
and at the same time are forming
habits that will last long after
college.
The third panel is centered
around the question; Why Go To
Church? This question has been
discussed before, but it is feit
that more participation and
thought on the subject will make
a much broader and more helpful
discussion.
Sherwood Eddy Makes
Three Addresses Here
The college wa* visited recently |
by Dr. Sherwood tMy famous ■
world traveler, missionary, and
student of Kuropean affair*. Dr.
Kddy addressed the student body
of the college, the public forum at
the Christian Church, and the high
school. He also met with various
interested individual groups tn nu
merous conferences.
Dr. Eddy i* considered one of
the most well-informed men on
actual conditions in various part*
of the world. For the past twen.
ty years he took traveling s«mi.
aarr through many countries
Much of the information h<
gives out came from direct con-
tact with the various social, eco-
|nomic, and rcligioti* problems of
social groups, nations, and va
rious peoples.
His travels saw him in conver
sation with lienes, former presi
dent of Czechoslovakia, Mahatma
Ghandi, Muasolini, and others. He
was present in the storm centers
of the world’* present political
and economic unr«*t.
Relative to the Czechoslovakian
crisis, he pointed out that a model
republic of central Kurope was
crushed. For fifteen centuriea
the Czechs were dominated by the
Hapsburgs but manaved to main
tain their language, customs, and
ideals. After the World War
they sprang into a democracy—
now dissolved by Hitler.
