A. Milne, on April 18, was enjoyed by the members of the college family. The “Ugly Duckling” scene centered around the throne room of the palace. The scene was both hum orous and serious in that it is human nature for one to look upon a face as ugly and then find that his vision was blurred by the sight and not by the person. The manifestation of the plot to attain Prince Simon’s proposal of marriage to an impostor was excellent. The cast of the play was as follows; William Aytch, a sophomore, who played the role of the Chancellor; Leroy Brickhouse, a freshman, ap peared as Prince Simon; Peggy Bynum, a junior, played the part of the Queen; Ruth Congleton, a junior, played Dulcibella; A. Everette Graham, freshman, played the role of Carlo; Wilma Perry, a junior, appeared in the play as Princess Camilla (the ugly duckling); George Richard Simpson, a senior, played the role of the king. Attending the productions of the College players, one will find them to be interesting and will also gain personal satisfaction for witnessing such marveous productions. Eighteen Donate Blood Considering the fact that there are many in the need for blood of all types, eighteen students of the college family took it upon themselves to volunteer for the cause. Those donat ing blood were Carrie L. Ruffin, Lubertha Smith, Patsy Thomas, Lossie M. Turnage, and Betty Boone. Others who recognized the impor tance of giving blood were Barbara Iordan, Joan C. Smith, Harrell Payne, Johnny Goddard, Brenda Anderson, Jones, Evelyn Mobley, Ear- nestine Rountree, Donald Forbes, Wil iam A. Lewis, Mary Mizzelle, and Marshall Jordon. At first it was found •o be a little frightening but the idea of one dying because of the need for blood was even more frightening. The Tidewater Regional Blood Pro- Sram set up to aid residents of pastern Virginia and northeastern Orth Carolina. Its purpose is to meet e blood needs of the patients in “Pitals located in eastern Virginia. Students donating the blood were under the advisory Mrs. Georgia L. "'■th. Through the years she has been ^tstanding in obtaining blood donors. *ybe she can even convince YOU to blood. Sounds From The Band s lovely weather for traveling and the band decided to do just that.

You're An Artist You’re a master at the procedures and techniques that influence things. You have painted, sculptured, acted, conducted and written a composition that now is being played by hundreds of boys and girls. You’re always at work. All day long you work on your masterpiece with every breath that you take, with every turn of the eye, with every word you speak, you’re making a stroke with your brush. Your dress, your speech, your body motions, your understanding, your ambition, your love for youth and its growth is beyond and far superior to any creation done by other artists. People look at the “Mona Lisa” with mixed emotions; they evaluate what you’ve done precisely and immediately. Paint well, for your creations are going on stage for thousands to view. Your signature is thereupon. May you long be remembered for the sacrifices made in order to beautify the lives of God’s own creations.
