THE SOLEMAN’S PSALM OF LIFE Tell me not the boss is ready To receive me right away; !t would not make me feel steady, 1 would not know what to say. Fate, believe me. I’m not fooling- Favor me with a few good plumes. Half of my life is wasted cooling My poor heels in waiting rooms Very often to my sorrow, 'i'his reply has cost me down; “We expect him in to-morrow. But today he is out of town.” I'm aware that they are lying When they pull that ancient gag; But I can not be replying; I can’t let my spirit sag. I’m expected to look pleasant Or move on with no offense. When they tell me that at pres ent “Shaffer’s in conference.” Big executives remind us That if we would be sublime, We must make all callers find us. Hard to see at any time. But don’t w'eaken; smile on gayly W'ith a heart for any fate; In some outer office daily Learn to sit around and wait. Cyrus Foxworth. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page 2) jjresent we stand strong; some started this number and others have joined us in the four years.

We can truly say with .joyful hearts that our college career has been a glorious one flavored with joys and graced with trophies. Honors Day Celebrated Monday, IMay 12 was Honors Day at State Teachers College. At the noon chapel hour the Smith Auditorium was resplendent with flowers, candelobra, the choir and distinguished quest. The students filed in as the Alpha Kappa Mu Hymn was played. Invocation was given by the Reverend ^Ir. H. M. L. James Very delightfully the choir put the audience in the mood for the scholarly address that was to come. Miss Elaine Clark, President of Rho Beta Chi Chapter of Al pha Mu presented the guest speak er. Dr. Joseph Taylor, head of the history department of North Carolina College, Durham, North Carolina. The speaker alluded to the vision by St. John on the Isle of Patmos and interpreted the new heaven and the new earth that was envisioned by John as be ing typical of the world that the scholar can behold today. W'ith historical facts, he showed the progress of the development of the people who have made Am erica great. The American Na tion has become vigorous be cause of its environment that re quired that its people become re sourceful and self reliant. Geo graphical isolation favored its growth in individuality in its early years. Now that science has made the world smaller by means of the radio, aeroplane, and tele vision, American is ready to share her resources and knowl edge with men of Europe, Asia and other parts of the world that have long been dominated and exploited by iniperilistic nations. No longer need men show defer ence to privileged groups or al low themselves to be exploited for selfish purposes. The scholars of a nation and especially of this nation should endeavor to spread enlighten ment among all mankind. It is by this means that the new heaven and the new earth seen by John in the Book of Revolution can be brought forth on the earth. After the inspiring address by Dr. Taylor the choir sang Vic tor Herbert’s Italian Street Song. That was a second delightful treat from the choir. Because of the great applause the chorus of Ihe lovely song was given again to the delight of the audience. Students who have been on the dean’s list for two consecutive quarters Ihis year were present ed certificates by President J. W. Seabrook of the college. Miss Eunice Wilson, a junior of the college was the candidate inducted into the National Honor Society for the year. Mr. W. S. Maize, advisor to the college chapter and National President of Alpha Kappa Mu, carried out the induction procedure.

I am sure no one has forgotten such an outstanding event. The members of the organiza tion are looking forward to a most successful Formal Spring Dance on ^lay 2, 1947. —Amanda Mitchel,l Reporter. The Eyes and Ears Of the Campus Flash! J. B. and !McK. do not measure up any more, but L. McD. and W. H. put a stop to that. Santa Claus has promised R. H. a white radio for May 27. When W. C. began maneuvering with C. D., it w'as curtains for H. C. F. F. it is so very w'rong for you to think you have H. B. all alone, because A. McC. the city chick has received many “en cores.” Why does L. M. try to “Duck” C. .McA.? M. R. C. has completely walked away with G. P., the “slab” that I. P. is constantly weeping for. G. “Coke” C. sure stuck his fin gers in "Sy. C.’s eyes and fled with M. G. When P. S. gave M. M. and R. B. the “boid” (bird) he decided to play ball with E. I)., the freshman charmer. J. B. and N. P. have set the date for June 30, H. S. and Z. I), are also going to tie that knot. The mystery that remains to be solved is, “what did W. B. R. do with B. G.” H. R. has much business around the senior dormitory and it is not with whom you think. (J. F.) The year has gone and J. O, has not been able to find a girl friend yet. (Y'ourys truly will sell you his irresitible technique.) W'hen U. S. discovered that L. ^I. would not light the torch that she was, (and still is) carrying for him, she decided to rock P. Y'.’s dreamboat with R. B. O. L'. don’t w'orry about G. L. because you have that hunk of glamour all to yourself. I must ad mit that M. V. G. and E. N. would very much like to wear your shoes. Believe it or not but “Pint” has been writing love letters to M. H. He has several pictures of her in his room. He had planned to take her to the sophomore picnic, but he was unable to obtain a dollar in time. __ow isn’t that cute. Just think C. M. and M. H.

So I said to myself 1 would like to see this Robert Hughes and find out something about him. My buddies and I went around to his home on a farm.
