OULD BRINGS RELIGIOUS MESSAGES Religious Emphasis Week was held from February 28 through March 3. Mrs. E. II. Ould, Roan oke, Va., was speaker chosen by the Central Religious Council. Mrs. Ould spoke each evening on “Fundamentals of Joyful Living.” She gave as the four fundamentals of a joyous life: first, A Good Foundation; second. An Integrated Personality; third. Correct Equip ment ; and fourth. Wise Use of Ma terials. “Little houses built upon shallow foundations soon fall,” the speaker commented Monday evening. Through the week she stressed that religion is joyous, embracing love and service. “The test of a Chris tian is, ‘How far can we love?’ ” she declared. “We, as a nation of indi viduals, cannot have peace and re venge at the same time. Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies’.” In a discussion of boy-girl rela tionship Mrs. Ould commented, “Young people who are fine attract other young people who are fine. Youth must keep high standards.” The Religious Emphasis services were attended almost 100 per cent by the students. Expressions from them have asserted enthusiastic ap preciation of the benefits gained. Various Soorts Heighten Campus Activities Miss Bost Speaks on China Miss Ethel Bost, missionary re turned from China on the (Iripsholm in December, was speaker at the Joint Y-meeting, February 24. She spoke of the changed atti tude toward Christianity during her eighteen years there—from indiffer ence to antagonism and now to wholehearted enthusiasm. “There is an earnestness, an eagerness, a desire to learn shown by Chinese students,” she commented. Describing her school moving into the interior for safety she said, “But the courage of the students made them continue in their work.” Referring to hardships the Chinese have patiently endured and of the Chinese need of American aid and sympathetic understanding, she said, “I covet you for Cliina because China needs your ability and ca pacity of leadership and example.” At the dismissal almost all the students stayed to listen to Miss Bost’s experiences for seven months in a Japanese internment camp in China. She said she and her hun dreds of fellow-prisoners received no harsh treatment but had to submit to a complex regime of Japanese authority. She said food was plenti ful, though often not choice to Western taste; that conditions were livable, though crowded. She de scribed the internees as being re sourceful in inventing means of entertainment, such as concerts and sports. Courses Expanded For Coming Year The Medical Secretarial Course has been expanded for the coming year, the course now extending over two years. The student will spend part of the second semester of the second year practicing in a local doctor’s office. The Laboratory Technician’s Course has been planned so that the student after completing two years here may be accepted at the Charlotte Memorial Hospital for twelve successive months and there complete the requirement in labora tory technique. m , —Boh Brown.

They repre sent new efforts at achievement and new experiences in exploring knowl edge.

Then' has been a wide variety of activities and events, and a largo majority of students have partici- jiated actively in them. Outstand ing exani|)les of good sportsmanship have been (lisj)layed. Both boys and girls have organ ized sister aiul brother teams, and this plan has done much to increase interest in sports activities. I'he girls and boys were divided into teams, the girls’ teams being the l’ur|)le and the (Jold, and the boys, the Rf'd and the Hlue teams. Tlu^ captains of the gilds’ teams were .Vgiies Harris, (Jold; and Ruth IV- grani, I’urple. A tournament was s|)onsored in every sport between these teams. Softball Sees Successful Season _ The leading sj)ort at the begin ning of the year was softball. From the first the (Jolds and I’urples were keen competitors. The Rc'ds and Blues were battling, too. After playing three games, the (Jolds came out of the fight the winner over the I’urples. The two girls’ dormitories. Main and Franklin, organized and played each other. The juniors then, challenged the seniors and \)eat them.

Josejihine Lassiter sang “The Holy City.” The congregation fol lowed by singing the hymn, “In the Hour of Trial.” Dr. Patton jiro- nounced the benediction. Research Papers Cause Worry and Woe “I can’t think of another thing.” “Will I ever finish this paper?” “I feel as if I were being dragged through a hailstorm.” —Such comments were the con tinual remarks made by English comp, students during the writing of the annual research papers. The deadline was for March 28. One of the English comp, students promptly wrote her father that her address was changed from Box 124 to Volume V, fifth row of encyclo pedias, five steps from the back win dow, page 20. In the library could be found at almost any time numbers of anxious boys and girls hanging over the Reader’s Guide, looking up refer ences, and furiously taking notes. Also, outlines and draft copies and bibliographies on the prospective masterpieces by no means lessened the complexity of the situation. Then, too, those little note-card boxes, carried hourly about the halls, lent an air of bewilderment as well as importance even to freshmen. Later, in the English comp, class, concerned students wondered about the hour when the research papers would be called for. Others sat won dering over the possible reproach or penalty entailed by tardy papers. The wondering was becoming tor ture. Ominous stillness pervaded the classroom and bespoke the agoniz ing suspense of the tormented stu dents. Suddenly the whole class bolt ed upright. Had they heard correct ly? Was the teacher ill? They had heard aright; she had given two more days of grace on the fateful assignment. The stillness of aston ishment was no less impressive than had been the stillness of sus pense. No less, too, was the feeling of relief and gratitude: for once every student was thankful that class hours had been crammed too full for the final discussion of style sheets— so the postponement! Even a delayed deadline, however, finally arrives; and eventually the midnight of the madnight drew near, when worried freshmen wrote in a hurry-scurry manner the final copy. (Of course, scores had waited until the last minute.) “I’m going crazy!” said the much vexed Mariam Shearin, one of Col umns’ most promising feature writ ers, as she reduced, condensed, wrote, and re-wrote her research paper. “Horrors! The last bell has rung, and I have still several pages to copy,” cried the worried Charlotte Usher, wandering around on Burney Floor seeking for some consolation. Many more cries of woe and the night of toil finally ended. The agony should have ended there, but it was beginning all over: Dr. Amick is now asking for a re search paper in algebra. ball tournament liy carrying the first three games of the meet. The scores for the three games were, respec tively, 9-5, 9-4, 17-12. (Outstand ing i>layers were Fuller and Strick land. The college team, chosen from both Red and Blue teams, played two games with Mills High and won both by comfortable margins. Horseshoe and Bowling Take Lead Soon aft(T softball was over, girls and boys were seen going down town to the bowling alley. Clara Lee Bailey took the crown for the girls’ bowling tournament while Douglas Bryant was the boys’ bowling cham pion. Many girls and boys entered tlie horseshoe tournament. The lucky horseshoe pitchers in singles were Marguerite Clement and “Red” Strickland, while Fred Davis and Oscar Fuller won the doubles. Girls Play Volleyball and Ping-Pong Next volleyball was begun be tween the Golds and the Purples with J3ettie Mintz as the captain of the Purples and “Butch” (Jood win captain of the Golds. The Golds won this tournament, having a rec ord of two games out of three. For days was heard a strange tapping, and then news leaked out that there was to bo a ping-pong tournament. Elizabeth Harris camo out of this tournament with the cup, and Elva Spruill was second. In doubles the champions were Dorothy Casey and Mary Chaney. Boys Play Touch Football The boys’ football tournament was planned as a five-game series, if need be; but only four games were required to determine the winner. The Reds, with “Shorty” Lancas ter as captain, got off to a good (Continued on page three)
