Ed Students outside the Business departments may at times regard the students of these departmenu with a sigb of relief. Witn all this ponoenng of unmteiligible shorthand characters, long hours of strugglmg with trial balances, and attcmpu to untangle money and ecooouuc tbsories, tneirs must be a dull and wearisome existence. A look mU> their extra curricular activities, however, diqtels Uiis view. Ihis year's program has mciiided movies, fifeld trips, out side spealcers, and work experi ence in olfices. Movies have included such fea tures as “The Story ot oaioime , "The Story of tne Tire,” "Fifty- two Pay Checks a Year". Othei's sciieduied m the near future aie "Championship 'lypmg,' and "Business Machines’. During the fail semesier Professor Howell's class in Econoimc Resources spent a aelignlfui oay in Uurnam iisien- ing to tite “chant of the tobacco auctioneer" and tourmg tiie Li^- gett and Myers factory. His class in Cost Accountmg was for two afternoons the guests of the Mmeola Miiis of GibsonviUe. Here each departmental foreman painstakingly explained the work of his department, after which the accounting officials discussed witli the group some of the cost ac counting problems involved. Ap pearing before Professor Stewart's class in Insurance last fall weie Mr. Beatty of Raleigh and Mr. ('oust of Greensboro, two of Caro lina's leading insurance experts. In February the Business Ad ministration department brought to the campus Howard Wisehaupt for a chapel program and practi cal demonstration of sales psy chology following. Mr. Wise haupt. being a man of outstand ing personality, drew from tne student body an enthusiastic re ception during his brief visit to the campus. The class in Money and Banking was responsible for an interesting program on the evening of April 16. This pr>- gram included a movie, “Know Your Money,” an exhibit of counterfeit money, and interest ing talks by Messrs. Padgett and Gold of the United SUtes Secret Service. For the last two weeks the students of the Secretarial ^ partment have been makmg tripe to Greensboro in groups of twenty-five. The firms which this year have generously acted as hosts to these students are the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance company. Pilot L*ife Insurance company, the Addressograph-Mul tigraph Sales Agency, and the Burrtxighs Adding Machiiye com pany. During spring holidays several of the secretarial students vork- i'. in offices in Burlington as a pirt i ol Iheir required pre-employmenl offlcc experience.

This victory showed con clusively that we had the right to rank with any of the so-calitd Big Five clubs. Naturally, scnne players ha\*e been outstanding. However, this has been a team triumph.

There are no weakness in the entire lienup and this ail around excellence, rather than any indtv - dual performances make this club great.

Produced on the site of the first English colony, this great out door historical spectacle tells in a most effective style the epic ot 121 men, women, and children who were sent over by Sir Wal ter Raleigh to settle the American wilderness. Shortly after the birth of Virginia Dare, the colony disappeared leaving only a single trace of its existence — the woro ■‘Ctoatan” carved on a tree. Because of nation-wide popu larity and the historical signifi cance of the play, the officials of its production have decided to produce it henceforth in connec tion with the local anmv«rsary celebrations. Originally presented in connec tion with the 3S0th anniversary this play has been *een since then bjr mmM than a quarter of a milUoa spectators and expects sMua than IM.OtM for this sum raer's prtsmtolian.
