Page Foui COLUMNS Wednesday April 30, 1947 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. 1 cyyito^s Of ho Though so illus trious, he was very wise He was perfect, knight. a truly gentli -Chaucer.

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.

In the after noon the fellows in Main and Franklin don’t need a radio; they 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. just push up the window and hear Meekins, Refreshments; i jimmy Dorsey et al.
