Welcome, Sweet Springtime o tfls V,.

In his talk Ed reviewed day by day the events of the last week of our Lord’s life. In his discussion of these events he expressed a candid view without detracting from the unearthly beauty of the narrative. Through this presentation he im pressed his audience with the reality of these memorable events of the last week. The speaker pointed especially to the human feelings of earthly friends, as exemplified by Christ’s disciples. He stressed also the intense suffering of Christ on the cross, be yond our human ability to realize. Good Friday Chapel Program An impressive Passion-Week pro gram was presented by Dean Stipe’s Sunday school class in the chapel on Good Friday to the student body and faculty. The A Cappella choir, in black under the direction of Mr. Byerly, sang “In the Ci-oss of Christ I Glory” as a processional. An Easter responsive reading was led by Ruth Braswell. The choir, flank ing the backstage for the entire pro gram, sang the anthem, “Christ the Lord is Risen Today.” Dr. Patten read a scripture lesson of the events of Passion Week, fol lowing which he led in prayer. “The Ballad of Trees and the Master” was interpreted as a solo number by Gean Sasser, a member of the choir. Sara Davis, in an im pressively artistic reading done with a touch of masterly interpretation, portrayed to a hushed audience the spiritual significance of the “Four Gardens of the Bible.” The A Cappella quartet (Kathryn Jones, Rebecca Cade, Daniel Mc Farland, and Billy Andrews), sang “My Sacred Head Now Wounded.” The audience joined the choir in the (Continued on page four) May Day to Bring Back Old South That civilization said to be “gone with the wind” is brought again into its full glory on May 2 at Louis- burg College when the South Cam pus blossoms into an elaborate Southern plantation. It is not just an average day about the old colo nial mansion—not at all, for the lovely queen of the whole South is to be crowned on the front lawn. Champion Typist Gives Demonstration SPRING— —“Waiting for May to call its violets forth and June its roses!” —We see it everywhere . . . with the boughs of the old oaks becoming veiled with leaves, —The campus taking on the glow of emerald . . . en- enhanced by the gay color of the buds coming through, —Birds endlessly singing their cheerful lays, —Chasing away the gloom of winter. —We see it in ourselves . . . for when Nature thus is clad in vernal beauty, we are lured to listen to her call to wander in her presence, where an inspi ration new is born to know a closer compan ionship with the Creator of it all. —Brooksie Meekins. In the distance will be heard the beautifully haunting voices of the darkies, harmonizing in the beloved songs of the Southland. The N’egro mammies will be busying themselves among the young ladies at the party,; and the old caretaker seemingly en-! grossed in his various tasks. i It is into this charming setting' that the May Queen, Ella Lewis, | will enter with her escort, Roy Bai ley. Her Royal Highness has chosen as her maid of honor attractive Catherine Lewis, who will have as her escort Albert Smoak. Besides the maid of honor, the queen will be at tended by a host of beautiful South ern belles including Lela Adams with Joseph Glazebrook as her es cort; Annie Sue* Barrett with James Wooters; Sarah Davis with William Fagan; Annie Lee Dorsett with Rod man Lancaster; Margaret Holmes with Troy Barrett; Grace Johnson with W. L. Northern; Evelyn Long with Bobby Richardson; Jane Mur phy with Clarke Stokes; Mozelle I*rivette "with McT^eil Tpocltj Oath- jerinp Rogers with Don Bell; I Frances Terrell with Edwin Robin son, and Emily Winn with Dayton Hardwick. Further to recreate the local color and nostalgic charm of by-gone Southern plantation days, a group of young ladies and gentlemen will dance before the queen the old-fash ioned Virginia reel. A gypsy dance will be presented by a'wandering band of gypsies attracted to the gorge ous queen. Other dances given in hon or of her majesty the queen will be the Irish maiden’s dance, the farm er’s jig, dance of the little picka ninnies, and the graceful dance of the wood nymphs. The great climax to the event will be the colorful May Pole dance representative of all parts of the romantic Southern plantation life. With rhythm and skill he touches the keys And rapidly types with amazing ease.

Hossfield, gave a demon stration in the Louisburg Colege au ditorium on March 19 before a large number of Louisburg students as well as the typing class from Mills High School. After a brief introduction by Mr. McDowell, field agent from the Charlotte branch of the Underwood Company which sponsors Mr. Hoss field, the champion began by giv ing a brief summary of his back ground and some fine points on the art of typing. The most startling fact concern ing his background was the effort he put forth to gain his present rank. He stated that he practiced five hours daily for five years before he won his first title, and, by the way he was still in knickers at that time. He has won ten championships on ten different occasions since then. In his lecture on the art of typ- ing, Mr. Hossfield gave many bene- stu- rate April 12.

This is the way spring was ushered in on the playground of Louisburg College. One day we saw a robin, bright and new, appear from the deep warm South. The next we saw a rope, Ibright and new, appear from some where; and we started jumping it, as someone turned it out in front of the steps. “Hot peas ! High waters! Slow ! Slower—'Hot! Missed ! Turn double. No, single. I said double. All right, double!” So it went for days—boys and girls jumping a silly little rope, btit it wasn’t silly to us. It was fun. Hopscotch, which Webster’s Fifth Edition calls a child’s game, was fun, too—maybe more fun because of its childlikeness, just another part of joyous spring. Then it disappeared; but it gave us a friendly warmth, a feeling of companionship, and sportsmanship, and above all the feeling that spring is finally come. 27 ;31, from the narrative of a ship wreck on a voyage of Saint Paul’s, the minister of the hour set forth in vivid manner the extremities of the situation, when a choice had to be made between what was worth sav ing and what was worthless in a crisis. The Scripture was read by John Maides, and prayers were offered by Troy Barrett. The truths of the sermon were set forth in convincing and earnest man ner; and, in the selection of those things to regard as eternal, the speak- lives of worthy citizens. Students who have not yet con tributed to the flag fund may yet do so, and those who have contri buted, Columns takes pleasure in presenting ibelow: Jessie Mary Willson, Mozelle Privitte, Eleanor Phillips, Jane After this brief discussion of fundamentals and fine points the champion clearly demonstrated, on his machine, facts he bad mentioned. He typed at a 40-word-per-minute rate that made the audience sigh with ampement, not because they thought it fast but because of the slow regularity with which the keys were struck. This procedure brought out the theory that rhythm is better than irregularity. In all of his tests he demonstrated posture, shifting, eye work; but, when he stepped up banderlme, Marjorie Dickinson, to 146 words a minute, the audience Mary Frances Yarbough, jSTancy Rosser, Mildred Newton, Brooksie Meekins, Ada Williams, Vera John son, Frances Terrell, Eva Deans, Peggy Brooks, Myrtle Harris, Mel ba Everritt, Elizabeth Westbrook, Shirley Thompson, Jean McKin- er showed his recognition of real^^'®*i> Gertrude Ferring, Sara Hux, life values and of means to realize |Womack, Claudie Stain- them. t back, Louise Mason, Laura Brick- : house, Katherine Gillikin, Bettie THE OAK NEARS j Pearl Vandiford, Kate Davis, Oleta COMPLETION i Odum, Zelda Holleman, Gaynella Jordon, Janie Ray Manning, Marie The Oak, Louisburg College an nual, is fast approaching comple- Tyson, Beatrice Lewis, Sallie Frances Weaver, Annie Lee Dorset, * - ^ 7 tion and is expected to be given to j Ethel Cabiness, Frances Handley, the students on some day in the early part of May. The completed copy and layout for the book were turned over to Edwards and Broughton of Raleigh, publishers of the annual, during spring holidays. This accom plishment was made possible by the fact that the editor-in-chief, Roy Bailey; the literary editor, Sarah Davis; and the adviser. Miss Merritt, relinquished a large part of their spring holidays to work at the col lege toward completing the Oak. Additional faculty and student co operation furthered the effort.

At this rate one could only detect a flowing stac cato, interspersed with the dull thud of the shifting. This high rate, ac curacy, and relaxation, the typist displayed at 146 was a drawn out contrast to the student’s jerky and strenuous 40. Accompanying Mr. Hossfield on his trip to the campus were Mr. DeVogt and Mr. Fowler from the Raleigh Underwood Company, Mr. Rowe from the Durham office, and the already mentioned Mr. Mc Dowell. At the conclusion of the demon stration the students were invited to meet Mr. Hossfield, personally, in the Faculty Parlor. Then the com mercial science department acted as hostess at a tea honoring him and the other guests.
