Senior Sentiments
Spring For Seniors
BY YIBBETT PHILLIPS
Yes, it’s here! It’s, that
time of year we all look forward
to with great anticipation, has
finally arrived. Spring! At St,
Andrews, spring has a special
beauty. For each successive
spring is different. Every year
there are new plants to bloom
and more bright greenery. For
the Senior, it is the fourth and
final time that we will experi
ence the excitement of this
yearly occasion.
When we first arrived the fall
of 1962, the campus was pitiful
ly bare of anything bushy and
green. Even the little bit of weedy
grass was brown. But gradually
since then, the grounds crew has
planted many shrubs and flower
ing trees. And thoughtful people
have donated money to do this
very thing. Our campus is at its
most beautiful this ye^r. The
cherry and plum trees bloom
ed and faded, but now the dog
wood, azealeas, and redubdstake
their place.
Maybe it seems rather child
ish and silly to spend the time
writing a column on the pretty
trees at St, Andrews, but it isn’t
foolish really, when you think of
the long, deary, cold winter we
just went through. Spring puts a
new light on so many things —
one’s whole attitude toward life
improves. The causewalk when
it’s raining is hard to face — but
with the sun, and warmth, and
color — the walk to class is easy
to enjoy.
And there’s the beach — and
sunbathing — and Sunday after
noon walks — and tennis — and
bicycle rides — so many fun
things. For those of us who don’t
have lots of time for outside act
ivities, just looking out the
window in the morning and see
ing sunshine and warmth through
the sunscreen is heartening
enough.
The whole point of this column
is just the realization that spring
is here, and spring in our parti
cular environment is something
to appreciate. Dogwood mile is
one indication of loveliness and
every year the trees are larger
and the blooms are more pro
fuse, Let’s be thankful for the
warmth and beauty of our spring,
which seems to be represent the
good qualities of St. Andrews,
Freshmen Feelings
At The Beach ?
The radio newsmen set the fig
ure at 1000,000 people but it
seemed like more than that at the
Beaches last weekend. Despite
the cold, windy weather students
flocked to Myrtle Beach and
Ocean Drive and many St. An
drews students were among them.
Students were seen in various
places and conditions throughout
the weekend. Some were seen joy
walking across the main street of
Myrtle Beach on Easter morning.
Others were seen jojnvalking or at
least strangely walking, at the
Beach Club the night before. Still
others attended parties, or per
haps it was the same party, the
entire weekend.
The first Beach Weekend is a
strange feeling for all students
but especially for most fresh
men. Its a disgusting feeling to
watch the nice quiet Boy who sits
beside you in C&C staggering
through the sand in his bare feet
and cursing as he cuts himself
on a pop top. Disquieting but
nice.
Obviously there are many good
things to be said about a Beach
weekend. First of all, it gets
you away from the Laurinburg
area, which is asufficient recom
mendation in itself. At this time
of the year, the urge to get away
becomes almost overpowering.
And the Beach is a good place to
get away to.

Mud In Your Eye
Farrago Builds
Last year. Farrago was born
out of the spark of an idea. In its
early stages, it existed only on a
make shift basis with no real or
ganization, It catered only to a
small number of interested stu
dents who had cars and who were
able to get to the Presbyterian Hut
in town every other weekend. This
year through planning and hard
work, this idea has gained direct
ion and scope. With it. Farrago
has grown to be a signficant part
of student life at St. Andrews,
Farrago has provided a place to
go for the student who, last year,
found him or herself stranded in
the dorm with nothing to do on
Saturday night. To some, it has
been a place to take a date for
an ejoyable evening. To many
others, it has existed merely as
a place to meet and talk with
friends. One thing which has made
Farrago so much of a success this
year has been the wide variety of
student, faculty, and local talent
presented on the program each
week. Perhaps it is this right
blend of friendly atmosphere and
enjoyable entertainment which
keeps people coming back week
after week.
Farrago has also grown
stronger financially this year.
Starting from scratch, it has now
a balance of over $50,00 in its
treasury. Many people have ask
ed what we plan to do with the
money we have taken this year.
First, to dispel a popular mis
conception, the money does not
go into the pockets of the mem
bers of Farrago Committee.
From its beginning. Farrago was
established as a service organi
zation, similar in function and
purpose to the other service or
ganizations on campus. Although
we are not officially incor
porated as such an organization
with a charter, nevertheless our
aim is the same --to serve the
students of St, Andrews. Any
money we take in is put aside
and eventually reinvested into
Farrago in ways that facilitate
improvements, and make Far
rago increasingly more enjoy
able to the students. When you
pay the thirty-five cents admis
sion at the door you are helping
to contribute to a bigger and
better Farrago. Such support is
appreciated and necessary if
Farrago is to continue next year.
Farrago will be open several
more times this year — we hope
you will continue to come.
