Whether it be true or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed by my fellow men.” —A. Lincoln Now that elections are over and the elected are installed, let us turn from the ballot and the oath and think for a mom ent upon these words quoted above from the many memorable things Mr. Lincoln has had to say. Consider, if you will, the man who spoke them and the time in which they were spoken. Abraham Lincoln was a man of principles and high ideals. Even in an era when it was hard to be nonpartison, he overcame narrowness and prejudice. He put aside his own personal grievances. He rose above the pettiness of party politi cians. He attained his ambition to be “truly esteemed.” We would do well to heed the example of men like Lincoln. Such men do not let So Shuffles Spring Hail to thee. Blithe Spring, Early, thou never wert. Such has been the way of nature’s most tender season this year. The aspiring KPB poets have had to wait a little longer for inspiration. A delayed spring fever has resulted in the absence of “sparkles” from the anatomy of the female gender— hand and eyes. April 16th arose and by noon spring had arrived (on a late bus), bringing her bloom ing baggage. Now this season of the year worked so diligently to prepare these stu has many possessions of which we are dents. As Mrs. Dunford has expressed ii- quite aware. By such things 1 am natur- theirs is a labor of “blood, sweat and ally referring to her resplendent garb of tears”. We all greatly appreciate the work renaissance sewn together in beauty, fresh- of each person who has helped to make A word of praise is certainly due each of the young ladies and gent e men who gave junior and senior I'ecita s. Every performance showed excellen musicianship; Montreat will be proud you wherever you go. We must forget the tireless teachers who not have ness and newness. This is always our first thought of spring, but there are other ac cessories that she brings with her—items quite typical of Montreat in April. At the Assembly Inn it brings Tiller’s salad plate special aided and abetted by iced tea or pink lemonade. The smell of smoke is in the air, hair and everywhere, as ambitious Montreaters go primitive for friendly cookouts. Now shall we switch to the balcony of Howerton Hall? Notice how it has become alive with masses of red humanity. No, you won t hear the Cherokee war whoop but only an occasional yelp as a bee takes revenge on the encroachment of his do main. The line forms to the rear in Central Park. Those swings have an appeal all them own, and many of the college youth capitalize on the exhilerating pleasures of flying through the air with the greatest of ease. Speaking of pleasure, all the biology self rule ambition, but rather ambition classes are breathlessly awaiting the first rules self. Ambition is not synonomous field trip of the spring under the auspices with selfishness. We in ourselves deter- of Dr. Karl Snyder, famed botanist of this mine how we use ambition. It can be a fine and holy thing indeed; but, used only to further ego, it is futile—“full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” We should free ourselves of selfish motives—as friends, as sportsmen, as stu dents, as officers. We should not be bound to our own particular interests, our own particular cliques, our own particular smallnesses. Life is too full to be limited by such confined outlooks, Christ has charged us to live for Him. If we con tinue to put personal interest, the clique, and self above everything else; then we are assured of one thing only—failure, failure in the athletic program, failure in student government, failure in the aca demic life, failure in the spiritual life- miserable failure in all our endeavors. Our campus is a close organization. We each have our place in its machinery. We must locale. If professors enter our picture of spring, then so must studies and studies can car ry the connotation of deadline—deadlines for term papers, reports, case studies, re citals, and all sorts of invaluable data deemed necessary for the education and culturization of undergraduate students. —Turn to Page 4 these recitals so successful and enjoyable. —— It seems that we have had “election madness” around the campus for dUi some time now. (Although we need one, it’s a good thing we don’t have to elec a male—uh, dog—catcher, because there s hardly anybody left to be nominate • Congratulations to Mary Sullivan, S president; Martha Rose Miller, SCA dent; Barbara Priest, AMA president; Mash, Sun Dial editor; Joy Townes, Diai- ette editor; Mary Mangrum, social chair man; and to all those who have been chosen as their assistants (Slaves). A reminder to all the students—these girls cannot o their jobs correctly without your full srip port. A few gems from the one-day tour on April 13—Vernon Elliott spent hi time looking for white picket fences gray fuzzy tails, (Mary, your budding ro mance (?) seems to have you in seventh heaven). Carolyn Oats put salt i her tea at dinner, A. C. Owenby develope^ a case of giggles worse than any girl could have, and Pansie Cameron discovere that her big orange hat served as an cellent sun visor. As May Day draws closer, we are eagorly awaiting the festivities of the day. The insure smooth and ef- work together to fective operation. This year will soon be past, but Sep tember usually comes again. Next year lies before us, a virgin of untouched op portunity. It will be a good year if we so desire. It will be a good year if we can remember to “Let no man set his own advantage as his objective, but rather the good of his neighbor.” (I Cor. 10) —JT beautiful and thrilling procession of ■ May Queen and her court will not soo be forgotten. Cupid and Psyche and a their little friends from the fascinatin world of mythology will be performing, few of the Seniors have been frantica y charging around attempting to learn parts for the play. Since we all lik® ® tening food, the delicious feast prepare by Mr. Tiller and his staff will be a higP' light of the day. We’d like to thank au the students and teachers who have been working hard to make May Day, 1958, a big success. —Turn to Page ^ The Diale**®
