Carol Singing
The Durham Chapter, NCC
Alunmi Association sponsored
the first of its annual Commun
ity Christmas Carol Singing pro
grams last night at 8 o’clock in
B. N. Duke Auditorium.
The decision to sponsor such
a program stemmed from an ob
servation at one of the chapter
meetings that all persons are
privileged to hear Christmas
carols, but relatively few act
ually have an opportunity to ex
press their feelings in song.
The program consisted most
entirely of audience participa
tion in the singing of Christmas
carols. There were, however,
several individual performances
by local talent.
They included Mrs. Blanche
C. Griswell, soprano, Mrs. Mable
Mabry, soprano, Mrs. Virginia
Alston, contralto and Mrs. Mar
ian Spaulding, soprano. Also
featured on the program was
Samuel G. Winston, who render
ed a selection of “The Birthday
of a King” on the musical show.

at the organ. Gattis was assisted
with piano renditions by Kitty

Gil Riley was the first Eagle
to score, but the tally didn’t
come until the game was seven
minutes old. He, Carlton “Ding-
Dong” Bell, and James “Chip”
Sligh then warmed up but they
were unable to erase the lead
Shaw amassed.
Bell was high man for the
Eagles, scoring 22 points. He was
followed by Sligh with 12 and
Riley with eight.
The torrid pace set by Shaw’s
Charley Hall, who bucketed 21
points, and Jack Keitt and Bob
Northington, each with 13 tall
ies, kept pressure on the Eagles
all the way.
In the preliminary contest,
Warren Williams, a transfer from
College of Idaho, now enrolled
at NCC, scored 29 points for

Barksdale Writes
On Vaughn’s Poetry
Writing on the mystical re
flections in the nature poetry of
Henry Vaughan, seventeenth
century English' poet, in the
autumn issue of the Western
Humanites Review, Dr. Richard
K. Barksdale, assistant dean of
the Graduate School at North
Carolina College, said that
Vaughan’s sacred poetry revals
two major influences.
According to the article by
Dr. Barksdale, entitled “The
Nature Poetry of Henry Vaugh-/
an,” these two major influences
were George Herbert, an earlier
English poet, and the other the
medieval Hermetical philosophy.
Continuing, the article said
“. . . Whereas Herbert was a
mystcal poet primarily concern
ed with the poetiing of biblical
story, churchly forms, and cere
monies, Vaughan, because of his
sympathy for Hermeticism, be
came a nature mystic who poet
ized about the God-like beauties
of waterfalls and the blossoms
of springtide.”
Asserting that there is no
factual record of the circum
stances surrounding the religious
conversion of Henry Vaughan,
which occurred presxmiably,
during England’s turbulent and
war-torn 1640’s” and that “the
only proof that Vaughan changed
from a medical practitioner of
casual faith to an articulate my
stic of burning faith is found in
his poetry,” Dr. Barksdale took
many excerpts from Vaughan’s
poems to point out Vaughan’s
intense spiritualism and mystic
ism.
