National Library Week Observed
Members of the Library Science
Class presented many important facts
about the library during the assembly
program on Thursday, March 31.
Students who appeared on the pro
gram were Marion Jenkins, Barbara
lames, Pauline Carney, Yvonne Hare
and Lois Parker.
Marion Jenkins gave us a list of
outstanding books and authors which
we as college students should want
to read. Barbara James gave a brief
discussion on Great Books and ex
plained how they differ from the
ordinary books.
Next to speak was Pauline Carney
who emphasized the importance of
reading. Reading, she stated, does
four things: it helps us to form opin
ions; to discover new problems; to
solve problems; and to do effective
thinking on problems.
Yvonne Hare then came to the
scene with questions concerning Chil-
dien's Literature and our Library.
These questions were answered by
Ihe audience. They covered a wide
area and were of interest to all.
As the program ended Lois Parker
gave Library Week Announcements.
Shown above are Edward N. Smith, Jr. reading during a program in the college library; Lois
Parker receiving books from James Phillips on Forgiveness Day; and members of the library
science class and college band participating in an assembly program.
Staff Honors Prexy

was a birthday party in the Lounge
of Hugh Cale Hall.
A beautiful table was made more
attractive by a three tiered cake with
green and white decorations. Ap
petizing refreshments were served.
It was a lively party and the Presi

because of the spirit which marked
the occasion.
Dr. Martin Addresses
Thalia Sorosis Club
Dr. Richard B. Martin, Rector of
Grace Episcopal Church. Norfolk,
Virginia, was the guest speaker for
the Palm Sunday vesper sponsored
by-4he--Thalia-Sorosis Club in Moore
Hall on April 10.
During his message, he stated two
reasons why Jesus wept when he
made his triumphant ride through
the city of Jerusalem on the first
Palm Sunday. He was happy; he
wept because of the disciples who |
were not true disciples and follow- |
ed him because of the fishes and
bread. Dr. Martin continued by [
saying “We live on the edge of |
The question of who is Jesus was |
asked by Dr. Martin. He answered :
hy placing Jesus as a carpenter who [
mends broken hearts; as one who t
gives us integrity, and as one who j
develops the nerve of failure.
The st^ge was beautifully decorat-1
,ed with flowers and leaves were
spread down the aisles. ^
Stephanis Thompson gave the call
to worship. Scripture and prayer
were given by Lula Roberts; and
Evelyn Byrd introduced the speaker.

For Thou, Lord, wilt bless
the righteous; with favor wilt
Thou compass him as with a
shield.—(Psalm 5:12)
Those who love God and
obey Him, who worship and
glorify Him in all their
thoughts and acts, are over-
flowingly filled with His love
and His guidance; they know
abundant joy and strength
beyong all mortal compare—
because the Almighty is with
and within them.
Mrs. Kyle Speaks
At Vesper Program
Mrs. T. S. Kyle, Director of the
Reading Clinic, spoke to us during
our vesper program on Sunday,
March 30. The topic of her speech
was “The Role of Anticipation in
Our Lives.”
She began by telling us that in
stead of thinking of anticipation as
only a moving force having direc
tion, it should also mean “intui
tion,” a “readiness for.” “getting set
or getting in a receptive attitude for
thinking as well as acting.” She
also stated that anticipation i
function in the total organism, and
in so doing one will have the inspir
ing desire to want to make new dis
coveries, new inventions and venture
out into new environments. It
the anticipation of Edison that led
to the invention of the electric bulb
and the phonograph.
Mrs. Kyle also emphasized the
fact that through total anticipation
members of all races are able
direct their purpo.ses and aims in
toward unselfish motives for the
betterment of the world.
in her concluding statement Mi
Kyle said that one should never set
his goal too high for his capacity to
attain. Instead, he should anticipate
what is possible and reasonable for
him to do and strive toward making
it a success.
A professor can never better dis
tinguish himself in his work than by
encouraging a clever pupil, for the
true discoverers are among them,
comets amongst the stars.
