Big Sport in 5/na// Rabbi Describes
Package Jewish Life
“Too blK. too biK.” little Ethel
with the ball.
*
KTHKL M.4RIE OLIVER
The current year brought to
Louisburg campus the youngest
athlete the college has claimed for
a number of years. Though far the
youngest girl on the campus, this
promising little athlete seems des
tined to become one of the most
famous, for her record of vitality,
activity, and sportsmanship has al
ready made her outstanding among
U8.
Each meal she skips gaily along
to her place at Miss Stipe’s table
and, after the blessing, has her
chair placed easily under her. Her
first course is milk, for all athletes
must be strong; also she eats her
vitamins bravely and takes her cal
ories like an expert.
A ma.ster at track, this little
lady comes from her home in
Wright Dorm to give a demonstra
tion of her speed as she races from
the dining hall in her joyous man
ner or dashes enthusiastically to
ward some friendly-faced person
whom she recognizes. Though she
has not yet completely proved her
self with a ball, she can excitedly
seize or toss one in a way to pre
dict skills she will likely master
some day.
Of skills already amazingly mas
tered for her years is that of social
charm. Whether among a group of
college boys or girls she holds her
own in poise and friendliness and
chatter, and generously dispenses
her radiant smiles. She is the one
freshman who can go her own
sweet way and do any thing she
pleases without being called up be
fore the Student Council.
This charming little blonde edit
ion of Louisburg College is the al-
most-three-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. George Oliver. She
came here with her parents last
fall and is a freshman—like most
of us, but better known than the
re.st of us, for she is perhaps the
only freshman on the campus
known by every boy, every girl, and
every faculty member—everybody
here.
Easter Birthday
Party Given
Rabbi Harold Gelfman, visiting
speaker and guest of Mr. Moon,
was also special guest at the Easter
birthday party on April 4, honoring
students and faculty members with
birthdays in April and July. Miss
Stipe presided and Mr. Moon intro
duced Rabbi Gelfman. Mr. Moon
sang two spring songs during the
dinner, “Courtin’ Liza Jane,” by
Johnson; and “If I Were You,” by
Wells. Miss Foster was at the
piano.
The tables were decorated in a
delightful Easter-time setting. Cen
tering the long table was a large
cut glass bowl of tulips, interlaced
with spirea, mirrored in a reflec
tor; decking each side of this bowl
were smaller bowls of Japanese
cherry blossoms. This pyramid
style had at the lowest level tiny
bowls of pansies and violets, also
mirrored in reflectors, and sur
rounded by tall pink and white
candles. Easter bunnies were scat
tered about the tables.
Rabbi Harold F. Gelfman, Raleigh,
spoke at chapel, April 5, having
spoken to the IRC and the Y’s the
evening before. The rabbi’s speech
was centered around the likeness
of the Jews and Christians: their
common worship of Jehovah, their
acceptance of the Old Testament,
and their common humanity. He
expressed his motive to be the cre
ating of understanding, by inform
ing, between others and his own
people.
The evening before he set forth
the story of the Jew and his place
in the modern world. He described
the tragic fate of unnumbered Jews
under the Nazi regime and the in
credibly reduced Jewish population
in Europe as well as the economic
insecurity of those spared. The
United States he said would be
come the chief refuge for Jews and
Russia their chief refuge in Eur
ope. He paid tribute to the relig
ious heritage of the Jew and his
high evaluation of education, de
scribing the Jewish mother who
typically instills in her child the
goal of becoming a truly educated
person.

Practice Makes Spaulding Brings
Perfect (So they say) Message
(yyiio^s cyyiio
Walk into any room in the dor
mitory, and you would think per
haps dear old Louisburg had
turned into a circus. Keep calm
though and have no fear—it is
only the girls practicing tumbling
for phys. ed.
“So that’s a deep knee bend?
Well, it’s a cinch I could never do
it,” is what all the girls say; but
before long you hear their com
ments change to “The deep knee
bend? Oh, that’s simple as A, B,
C.” Of course, it is a little heart
breaking when little Vivian Cheek
so successfully jumps over her foot
when all you do is land in a heap.
But be thankful that mattress was
there to catch you!
“Now we’ll do the forward roll,”
says Director Crisp. You watch and
must admit it looks simple, but
then it’s your turn; yes, it did look
simple, but why did I go sideways
instead of straight over. Don’t give
up, but remember that the old say
ing, “Practice makes perfect” may
have a new application.
Alpha Pi Epsilon Gives
Party
Alpha Pi Epsilon gave the veter
ans of the refresher course a party

dent of the North Carolina Mutual

sponsored by the Y’s, March 29.
He brought a message of broad
sympathy and good will. “It is my
policy to get along with every
body,” he affirmed, pointing out the
necessity of being helpful rather
than primarily conscious of color
or race. He admitted that, where
there is unlikeness, there will be
some disagreement but insisted

serious riots.
He paid tribute to the spirit of
the American whites as the people
who have progressed more than
any others on earth.
