Such remarks as “It’s one of the best dances we’ve had”, “I’ve never enjoyed a dance so much,” “Weren’t the decorations pretty,” and “I wish it hadn’t ended so quickly,” proved that the work done by the dance committees was not in vain. “April in Paris”, in reality, could be no more ro mantic, no more exciting, no more delightful than these few hours of make-believe. 0 SPORTS COMMENTS (Contmued rrom Page 1) natural at- are hoping that everyone will give their support to the tourna ment and really give this sport a chance on our campus.

C. ‘April In Paris” a la Flora Macdonald ■“She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry ■skies; And all that’s best of the dark and ' bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.” Thus surely would Lord Byron write Of this sweet senior, fair and wise. Dumbaxton Oaks in Washington Was her locale her freshman year Then P. J. C. did her beatuy stun. The fair day student so sin cere Her junior year was then begun Wiien she commuted to college here. Twas then we fell in love with her And first placed her on our May Court " Her senior year she did prefer To board witli us; from her report She likes it; second graders j-efer To her as “teacher”: she’s the sort That’s liked by all; her heart’s aglow ' With joy which spreads along the way To all she meets; she’ll ne’er outgrow The happiness which covers her today— And now to the front steps I shall go To see her cro-wned the Queen of May." For a few hours Saturday ev ening April 25, the Juniorsand Seniors found themselves caught up in the life of “gaie i^aris.” They were transferred from the life at F. M. C. to the romantic and delightful atmosphere of a French sidewalk cafe, complete with French waitresses, food and song. Under red and white strip ed awnings, the couples sat at tables for four in front of “Halls aux Vins” and “Le Bar du Lait”. They were served the following menu: Cheese and appetizers Tuna fish salad Stuffed tomatoes potato chius pickles and olives hot buttered biscuits Strawberry shortcake Iced tea While they were dining, they were entertained by Misses Bar bara Hill and Nancy Gallop who sang and played and by two young ladies. Misses Sandra Overstreet and Cynthia McRaney of Red Springs, who did the “Cane Dance”. After a brief intermission the tables and chairs were pushed aside giving place for a dance floor which was overshado^vyed by a backdrop of midnight blur on which were silhouetted the fig ures of a boy and girl facing the Eiffel Tower. The spotlight with its many different colors added much to the beauty of the back drop. The dance was begun by the members of the figure who were introduced by Dr. Bullock as they mgved to the center of the floor taking their positions in the formation of the Eiffel Tower. James B. Larkin with his band from Fort Bragg made a big hit with his initial visit to Flora Mac donald. His fine dance numbers and his numerous extras made the dance an overwhelming success. Not only did the fellows provide good music, but they proved very thoughtful by remaining after the dance to help reconvert the of having the pool painted. He is also having some of the bushes cut down around the pool so the sun can get to it. I am sure ^11 of us are going to enjoy the pool much better after this has been done. The tennis courts seem to be one of the most popular spots on the campus now. All the ^girls are trying to get in their five hours of practice in order to be eligible for the tournament. There will be two tournaments, one for the more skilled players, and one for those who haven’t had very much experience in the sport. We Royal’s Jeweler’s 207 Hay St. Fayetteville, N. C.
