Easter has come and gone
Every one has had a joyous holi
day, and will ncjw go to work and
look forward to.exams and com
mencement.
Our new green campus will cer
tainly make the Freshmen feel at
.home when they arrive on the
hill next fall.
Recently some of the -Vlumni
have been sending in to the office
news about themselves and what
they are doing. The editur appre
ciates this correspondence ver
much and urges more of the A1
umni to take this hint and send
in any article or articles that they
see fit. If you do not have the in
spiration to write a long feature
article drop the office a card and
let us know where you are 1
cated. Any correspondence fror
the old students will be appre
ciated.
BASEBALL
Qur baseball season is now in
full swing. From a raw, inexperi
enced btinch of boys coach • has
molded the form of a nine that
will no doubt be a credit to the
institution. Out of the five game
that the team has played, we have
two victories marked up on the
big board. Some of the othe
games have been lost b}' just a
little error probably caused by the
lack of experience. The team
working hard and is just round
ing into mid-season form. Th
real mettle of the team will be
shown in the next two ^ames
State. Thursday, and Guilford
next Monday. The team will meet
Guilford on the home field. O
that day every student should b
at the field and help cheer ou
team to victory. Guilford is ou
old ri\ al and we want to hand her
down a defeat. Come out to the
game and back your team. Sho
the team that you are behind it, it
will do its part.

Well, the Sophomores won the debate,
but it was interesting wldle it lasted.
iisii’t it? Jt is fumiy that a, class de
bate causes more spirit and interest
thnii an iiiter-collegiate debate isn’t itV
.But maybe tiiat was due to the fact
that tlie Sophcvrnores liad promised the
Fi-eshiuen the privilege of painting the
tank, if they won. And of course the
Soplis didn’t like the idea of having to
look at a ’28 on that paint besmeared
•iter container.

Rase ball soa.son is right in our midst
now. Babe Ruth is getting over liis
toiicli of the fin, and it is expected tha(
will be able, in a few days, to hit oti

docs get to be tliat good he will be

The Senior class seems to be worried
about something, individually and col-
tively. They all go arotind witli
bowed heads and a worried look. 'As
vet none of their hair has turned gray,
but we wouldn’t say that it won’t. Now»
to the cause of that. There seems to
be two* or three plausible explanations
Among them is the fact that they will
soon be leaxing this ‘’Altna ^Fater’*
Tiever to return, or they may be w’orried
os'cr tlie fact that exams are so near
that there will be a possibility of hav
ing to return. But just between us we
have discovered the real cause of it.
They are all ])ractising their orations.
Stick in there seniors.

The editor seems to think that the
prize optimist is the man who puts
“Keep off the Grass’’ signs wdiere there
is no grass, but it seems that a more
idu)ice brand of optimism would be that
which comes froTn the student who tells
how juany courses in history he will
have off at the end of the year, before
he has taken his final exams.
THE MAJESTY OF THE j
LAW IS CHAPEL SUBJECT
Ohapcl services Tuesday morning
were highly interesting and instructive.
The service was opened by special mu
sic in the form of a solo by Gordon
Crymes. This was follo-wed with scrip
ture reading by Dr. Alexander.
The speaker for the hour, ^ir. 0. C.
Haworth of the Burlington schools, was
fittingly introduced by Dr. Harper.
Mr. Haworth is well know^n nmonj^
the students and o'n tlie several occa
sions he has spoken here w’as well re
ceived. Tuesday jnorning he spoke on
the majesty of tlie law. This broad
subject he treated in a clear and con
cise manner. His talk revolved around
two statements whic]^ ho made. These
were: ‘-'The United States is the niosl
lawless nation on earth/’ and “There
can be no liberty w’ithout law.’’ He
gave statistics to back up the first state
ment and showed how the present ten
dency tow’ard lawlessness was endan
goring our liberty.
PSIPHELIAN PLAY GIVEN HERE

BEST FLAYS GIVEN THIS YEAR

DARDEN JONES IS ILL
IN BURLINGTON HOSPITAI
Miss Xelson on the violin, and Mis-
Kunice Rich gave tw'o delightful read
ings.
Darden W. Jones, one of the most
pojiular members of the Sophomore
class, was taken sick, while on a visit
to' Littleton, and had to be carried to
the hospital in Burlington Tuesday. It.
is hoptd that his illness is not serious
and that his timely removal to the hos
pital w’ill greatly aid him in the re
covery which the entire student body
hopes for.
>fr. Jones is from Holland. Virginia,
and is w'ell liked by all who know him.
Ho is actively engaged in many phases
of the student life, and will be greatly
missel during his abseiice. He is as
sistant advertising manager of the
^faroon and Gold and is well known for
)iis work on the football team last fall,
^Maroon and Gold joins hands with a
host of friends in wishing Darden a
niost speedy recovery.
If you strike a thorn or rose
Keep a-goin’;
If it hails or if it snows
Keep a-goin’;
Taint no use to sit an’ whine
'Cause the fish ain’t on your line;
Bait your hook and keep on tryin’.
Keep a-goin’.

Just befm-e the curtain rose on the
first act Miss Kate- Strader made a
splendid speech of welcome. She ex
tended a hearty welcome to the audi
ence and prepared it for the entertain-
ent, which was to follow, by describ
ing the nature of the play.
From the rising of the first curtain to
the dropping of the last the players pur
themselves into their parts and through
their efforts made it the success it w^as.
Gw'cndolyn Patton, playing the part
cf Olivia Dangerfield gave evidence of
a thorough understanding of her. part
and through her interpretation of the
part a very real char'acterization of the
resourceful Olivia.
Lillie Horne, playing the part of
Elizabeth Dangerfield brought to life a
young Virginia aristocrat, w'ho had
been reared in the arms of luxury and
who- w'as very positive in her right to
maintain her aristocratic dignity.
Nettie Harris played the part of a
Northern society matron, with Margaret
Rowland, as Cora, her daughter, whom
she hoped to marry off for money. Both
of these gave excellent interpretations
of their parts.
Bessie Walker was part of the com
edy of the ph'xy, n,s Amanda, an old
negro servant and mammy. She im-
posed herself into several scenes and
thus brought about much embarrass
ment.
!^^abel !^[iehael proved that she thor
oughly understood the charactcv of a
young poet, and lover. She was th^
third part of one of the love triangles
which developed.
Ida Lewis Capps gave a very real
impersonation of a young upstart, law
yer. Of course a young lawyer, of this
type, is bound to be a heart breaker,
and this particular one was true to
form.
^Fae Oliver, as the butler, proved to
be a capable servant master and played
the role of trouble preventer. She
played the }>art of a man witli ease.
>Farie Nobles, as scullery boy added a
touch of humor that played an impor
tant jiart iji the success of the play. She
proved herself to be very capable as a
dish destroyer and as a trouble maker.
Estelle Kelley, as Randolph Weeks
was the diplomatic agent of tlie family,
who served a very real ])ersonal end in
all his efforts, that was his evident in
terest in the hand of Olivia.
No one could pick out an individual
star in the cast, but it is not too' much
to say that all of the players gave true
interpretations of their parts, and that
they all give great promise of becom
ing actors of note.
