Protect Your Skin
Health and beauty of your skin
depend upon the healthy functioning
of your body. If your skin is less than
lovely during these warm days, you
ffl'Jst follow a program of correct eat-
Wo> outdoor living, exercise and rest
that will build beauty from within
fte body. This procedure will help
you to bring your natural skin beauty
*0 a perfect color that will last you
through the years.
Soaps, creams, and lotions are not
■Mgical, but they can normalize the
»ins natural functioning and neu
tralize some of the agencies that make
* e skin ugly. Soaps remove the poi-
Mnous grime of dust and perspiration,
reams supplement the natural oils
® the skin. Tonic lotions hinder the
ulhng of slow circulation. Remem-
W. the skin needs this care because
Weather and sluggish circulation
'continues to tear the fragile beauty
yoi^ir complexion.

Dramatic Arts
Effective Here
The Dramatic Arts Class under the
direction of Mrs. Julia Moore Hoffler
is learning the basic arts of choosing
and directing plays, stage setting,
make-up, lighting and costuming.
The class, divided into groups, gave
many interesting pantomines, scenes
from plays, and origional productions.
The group, when last visited, were
doing individual projects that were
varied and fascinating.
On one occasion Mary Allbritton,
assisted by William Price, entertained
the class with an original Spanish
dance. She made her own gorgeous
costume of cloth and colorful crepe
paper.
On another occasion Mr. Price gave
a demonstration on how to use make
up on children to give them the de
sired age.
Mrs. PI. F. Creecy gave her ori
ginal monologue with three imaginary
characters. It was so effective that she
made us see it as a three-act play
with five characters. The name of the
monologue was “Mr. Buzzard, the
Conjure Doctor.”
Mrs. T. Stalling gave an enjoyable
monologue entitled “Rock Me to
Sleep, Mother, Rock Me to Sleep.
Mrs. Aretha H. Smith entertained
us with an enjoyable Mother s Day
Program depicting the life of a good
mother and her influence on the char
acter of her children. Her pantomine
left the class spellbound.
Miss Luvenia Swain, in substituting
for her friend at Sunday School, pre
sented a very enjoyable monologue.
Mrs. Mary C. Reid gave a very
interesting May Day program of
stunts, field marches, and baton twirl
ing by two of her former third grade
students from Norfolk.
Mrs. Rosa Hill entertained us with
a monologue depicting the life of the
inhabitants of Beaufort County,
North Carolina., entitled ‘ The Prom
ised Landers.” Their performance was
superb.
Messers. Maude Ramsey, Mattie S.
Bowen, and Nina C. Perry presented
a one-act play entitled “Truant’s
Dream.”
Mrs. Jessie S. Bush built a minia
ture stage with all of its parts, ui-
cluding seven flats. The materials
used were very simple and inexpen
sive. She arranged the Navity scene
and played very softly “Silent Night.
Her second setting was the May Day
Court with a queen and all of the
attendants. It was a pleasure to note
this creativeness in Dramatic Arts.
We are very glad that a form of
dramatics that interests small ciul-
dren so much is one of the favorites
of the in-service teachers.

The Daily Menu
The daily menu should include all
kinds of food needed to provide ade
quate daily nourishment for the body.
If the three meals are planned at one
time, it is easy to see that all require
ments are met. These meals should
be served at approximately the same
time each day, as the digestive organs
function better on a regular schedule.
The daily food should satisfy the
needs of the body for warmth and
energy, for the building and repairing
of the tissues, for efficient functioning
of the organs, and protection against
disease,

Baseball Ranks First
In American Sports
No other game is more typical of
Americans than is baseball. No other
American institution has a greater
claim to “grass roots” origin than the
national pastime— baseball, and no
American institution is more proud
of the fact.
As the professional phrase of base
ball— the organized structure—
moves into a significant anniversary
year, its history— yes, its purpose is
fittingly expressed in the single slogan
for the anniversary celebration: “THE
AMERICAN WAY — BASEBALL
TODAY.”
This year the Minor Leagues are
celebrating fifty years of organized
baseball, and their partners, the Major
Leagues, are conducting similar ob
servances.
Who has made baseball one of
the leading sports in the world today?
We find such men as Ty Cobb, Honus
Wagner, Paul Richards, Lou Gehrig
and our beloved Babe Ruth. Today
we have such stars as Gil Hodges,
Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Marty
Marion, Billy Cox, Don Newcomb
and the great DiMaggios.
These men have made great con
tributions to baseball on the American
scene. Baseball fans may be found not
only in our country but all over the
world. Do you think any sport will
take the place of baseball in this
country? NO! THIS IS THE AMER
ICAN WAY —BASEBALL TODAY!

Ingram Chosen
C.I.A.A. Champ
Charles Ingram, Jr., was chosen by
the coaches of Hampton Institute as
the most outstanding athlete for the
period 1947- 1951.

acter, integrity, endurance, coopera
tion, a willingness to work, and good
scholarship were some of the tributes

’50 and ’51, he was C.I.A.A. wrestling
champ.

members of Congress would have to
