PAGE TWO CLARION NOVEMBER 22, 1950 A World-Wide Celebration: FOR ALL PEOPLE A DAY OF THANKSGIVING FOR ALL PEOPLE: Of the religious festivals of the year, Thanksgiving alone is for all the people. Christmas, Easter, and other church festivals are for Christians only. The Jews have their Passover; the Mohammedans, their Ramadan; and the Chinese, their feast days; but Thanksgiving day is for all. On this day, people of every faith can in their own way, call on their own God and praise Jesus, Moses, Moham med, or Buddha. For Thanksgiving day appeals to us all, without distinction, as worshipers of God. Then, tomorrow let us “MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UN TO THE LORD,” as did the Pilgrims on that first Thanks giving day, in 1621. Let us raise our voices as did the psalmist of old. But while we are jubilantly praising God, let us also bow our heads in humble thankfulness for a healthy and prosperous year. Let us come to a fuller ap preciation of the privileges and opportunities of our pres ent-day world. Let us be more grateful for material goods, everyday comforts, and for food and shelter. While we are being thankful, let us be thankful not only for what we have received, but for much that has been denied us. So many things we want would not be good for us if we got them. This year we have a great deal to be grateful for. We can be thankful that though people are fighting and dy ing in many parts of the world we still have hope for peace through the United Nations. Without it the world might sink to ruin. With this great Council we have a chance to rise to order and to peace. Thus we of this generation have been privileged. We have seen the founding of an organization that may in the future mean peace and well may bring the greatest epoch in the world’s history since the coming of Jesus. Thousrh we are living in a perilous age, most of us acknowledge with Harry Emerson Fosdick that THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE, It is great to look to the future unafraid and know that if we meet the challenge of Christian love we will find happiness. For such gift, what soul, what college, what people will not raise its thanksgiving to God? And so, if we find fault with the world, if we see much that is hard to bear and little to be thankful for, if we groan instead of sing, we may know that the fault is with ourselves. So it seems only fitting and proper that tomorrow, Thankssriving day of 1950, we assemble to voice our grati tude. For we have good cause to say together. “BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME,” AROUND THE CAMPUS WITH BONNIE HAWKINS YOU WHO HAVE NEWS PREPARE TO SHARE; Attention, Clubs: We need your help as well as you need ours. We are publishing a newspaper—you are making news. You need publicity for your club activities—we need news for the newspaper. These simple facts illustrate the clubs’ and newspaper staff’s interdependence. For more effective relations the newspaper staff asks the clubs to inform the staff of any potential news. If a story of club activities is to be printed in the next issue of the CLARION, the complete plans of the coming occasion must be sub mitted by December 2. By coope rating in this way we shall all profit. Tournament Plans Made For Ping Pong Daphne Bowers, the newly elected chairman of table tennis for the college intramural pro gram, has announced that the 1950 table tennis tournament will be held within the next three weks. Sheets of paper will be placed in the receration hall for the sig nature of all students who are in terested in entering the tourna ment. Girls participating in the tournament will receive fifty ath letics points toward their school letters. The girls will sponsor a separ ate tournament for boys. The winning girl and the winning boy will be officially declared the table-tennis champions of Bre vard College for the fall semester of 1950. One of the most popular date times here at B. C. seems to be during the lunch hour; so let’s take a stroll over the campus and gather a little info for the com position of a little reading material in this paper. Around on the side steps we find, well, it’s just a matter of who gets there first, but today it’s Ann Lewis, Ted Wilkinson, Helen Hayes, and Spec Daniels. Now the latter couple mentioned is really a quiet one never disagreeing! Over in the “Rec” hall we find Bill and Peggy “All Alone” in a room full of people. They’re danc- nig as per usual. The ping-pong tables are going crazy and all the aces are lining up to play the win ner of the winner of the winner of the winner. Complicated, isn’t it??? They seem to know what they’re doing though. Adorning the porch of West Hall we’ll find David Price and Gloria Starnes, Dot Wallace and Joe Hipp. There are many more couples in the parlor but we won’t take time to go in there just now. In cars, several of the day students are having a silent mo ment while they read their mail from their males. Barbara Hall has a letter postmarked Raleigh and Caroline King is buried in the pages of an epistle from Clemson. About this time we see Jean Par rish coming across the lawn and she’s fairly glowing. Must be ’cause Alton Taylor from Mars Hill is coming over for the week end. My! My! Isn’t she going to have a time of it at the Thanksgiving game. Will it be loyalty or love?? The cheerleaders are on the lawn practicing and we can’t help noticing that Reid Gilbert has an exceptionally long face—Why, of course, Helen Teal has withdrawn from school. That is surely the rea son. They’re speaking, no they’re not, yes they are!! Whee, it takes a full time staff to keep up with Carolyn Hamilton and Tom Neal. One day they are barely acquain tances and the next day they’re happily engaged in a canasta game. Love on this campus is like a drippy faucet on again off again. There comes Reid Prillman and Daphne Bowers from the cafeteria. A change has been made, no doubt. Let’s sit down here on this lit tle bench and discuss a few of the “Heard about plans” for Home coming. The future “Mrs. Nick” will be on campus for homecoming as well as Eleanor Orr, who will be visiting “Bam Bam” Peel. Rachel Franklin and Bull Dale have had their plans made for the dance for a long, long, time. Time to go to class so we best end our little conversation for another two weeks.
