Dr. Cade Cites Life Goals
The Rev. W. A. Cade, chairman ,
of LouisburK Board of Trustees,
delivered the chapel address April
22. Dr. Cade’s topic was “The Way
to the Desired Goal in Life.” He
gave his trip from Raleigh to Louis-
burg as a parallel to life. He de
clared that one must make his mind
up in this life as to what he is to
do and then make no hesitation af
ter the goal is decided. There must
be a determined effort to keep on
the right road; however there are
many side roads in life which one
is sometimes inclined to stray on,
but which he must intelligently
avoid. If one is to reach the goal
of life, he must be obedient to the
moral and spiritual laws of the uni
verse, keeping duly observant of
other people. One must never de
pend on good luck to help him on
his life’s way, but rather seek wis
dom.

‘SONG OF MY HEART” SCORES SUCCESS
The Louisburg College Dramatic
Club, under the direction of Mrs.
Bettie Tarpey, presented its second
production of the year. Song of My
Heart, in the college auditorium on
March 28.
The play was divided into a pro
logue, and an epilogue dated in
1874, and a main part dated in the
present time. Helen Ayscue played
the part of “Sylvia” the present-day
girl, creating a character of loveli
ness and charm. “Poley”, the col-
Sanders, who displayed the gal
lantry and courtesy characteristic
of the old South. Friends of the
family were “Shirley”, Bettye Thig
pen; “Faith”, Betty Heeny; and
“Desiree”, Joan Simmons. Though
in minor roles these were definitely
effective. “Mrs. Carlotta Stewart”,
Sylvia’s mother, was portrayed by
Rachael Haithcock, who in her role
as the busy mother, was a good ex
ample of anxious but brave mother
hood. “Steven Stewart”, George
ored servant, was played by Bert Laws, was a temperamental son try
Smith, his antics and dialect re
creating an old Southern Negro.
“Laurel”, a friend of Sylvia’s, was
ably portrayed by Lola Peedin.
Michael, the present-day boy, was
exceptionally well played by Wil
liam Melson.
“Sylvia”, the modern Sylvia’s
grandmother, was portrayed by
Barbara Boole, with much reality
and convincing effect. “Michael
Willoughby” was in reality Bill
ing to adjust himself to a sense of
guilt and his concern for his mother
and his sister. “Hurby Foreman”,
Russell Wilcox, was a determined
suitor for Sylvia and in his battle
with Michael for love of Sylvia, he
displayed the talents of the “court
ing man” of the past. “Poley”
and “Mandy”, ably portrayed by
Bobby Davis and Margie Peele,
added the touch of humor that was
needed to keep the play in spirits.

Bradford Fearing, one person who
seems to enjoy life to its fullest! No
matter where Brad is, he always seems
to be in the midst of things. He is
on the tennis court one moment, and
then the next moment he is glued to a
copy of The Lost Colony. Wherever
you meet him, though, you see that
gleam of light in his eye—that gleam
that reminds one to suspect a hidden
prank and to watch him. His hobby
is photography, and his favorite sport
is tennis.
From the sand dunes of a place on
the Carolina east coast called Manteo,
Brad came to Louisburg in Sept., 1945,
and though depending upon neither hig
well-known sister or brother who
preceded him here, immediately
made a name for liimself on the cam
pus. The student liking for him was
expressed when they elected him vice-
president of the junior class. He was
also a member of the Y.M.C.A. and
photographic manager of Columns.
When Brad came back last Septem
ber, he was elected senior-class presi
dent. He also immediately accepted
again a place on Columns staff, this
time as proofreader. W'hen, this cur
rent semester, the news editorship be
came vacant, there was Brad—ready
and willing to take the job. His help
ful work on the paper gave him a bid
to Beta Phi Gamma. His dramatic
ability led him into the dramatics
club, and he played a role in the first
college play of the current season.
Yes, he likes dramatics so well that
he has been in the cast of The Lost
Colony for some seasons past and
vpill again appear the coming summer.
Brad’s performance in The Lost Colony
this season should far surpass any pre
vious one (with his frequent mock re
hearsals as he goes from room to room
on fourth floor, main, dressed to imi
tate some player or perhaps using the
broom as his speaking opponent, or
imitating some actor’s speech—or on
occasion acting just plain loco to us
inlanders.)
Possibly the characteristic most not
able in Brad is his desire to help his
fellow men. With his other qualities
—his keen insight and ready response,
his utterly refined nature, and his gift
of adjusting himself to others—he
naturally wins a following among
both faculty and students. Indeed,
his many fine qualities make Brad
ford a man ranking among men.

No man, however mean his so

without personal satisfaction; and
no man can be satisfied with him
self if he delays the undertaking
of his work or shrugs his duties
off on another.—J. A. Fournier, ’48.
