EDITORIAL
April is a month of celebrations witli
Easter and Founders Day coming near
to each other.
The true spirit of Easter was within
the heart of each of us. We not only
realized the significance and importance
of the occasion but we also felt the need
for a divine guidance. It was with this
feeling that we looked forward to and
received Founders Day.
Founders Day brought to us Dr. Milner
of Guilford College. One of the most
outstanding events of the Day that will
always remain in our hearts is the mes
sage that he brought to us. A challenge
was thrown out and a new channel of
education was offered. We began to real
ize how we grow and to understand the
importance of growing in a wholesome,
pure and deliberate manner.
Dr. Milner’s message was most appro
priate in that he had before him a senior
class a majority of whom would inevi
tably become the leaders of their genera
tion. He discussed the importance of
teaching others to become world-minded
citizens and the need of religion as an
integral part of education.
To the future leaders of America this
became a challenge, a challenge in that
it offered a higher ideal to attain. I do
not limit this challenge to teachers, for
they cannot do the work alone. All peo
ple in all manner of trades in one way
or the other are teachers, for they influ
ence their environment greatly.
We remember also the ideas that Dr.
Feinstein brought to us concerning broth
erhood for all mankind. Leaders must
respect the beliefs of others regardless
of race, color or creed. Equality of man
must be a definite part of every man's
belief.
The future teachers and leaders of
America have a great task to accomplish.
Before they can be allowed to impart
their knowledge to others, they must
cleanse themselves of all of the intangible
sins that they may possess and be placed
for judgment upon the pedestal of wis
dom. righteousness, tolerance and under
standing. They should make that a defi
nite goal to which to look forward before
it can be said that they are ready and
prepared to teach others.
We thank Dr. Milner for his inspiring
message. It offered to us a deal of
food for thought.
Again Founders Day has met with suc
cess. for the students’ enthusiasm was
shown in all of their undertakings. Spel-
man truly had a Happy Birthday and
Miss Read a merry anniversary.
THE STAFF GOES
TO A PARTY
Pegcye
The Campus Mirror Staff had the hon
or to be invited to an afternoon of pleas
ure at the home of Mrs. Claudia White
Harreld on March 29. Beginning at 3
o’clock and lasting until five thirty the
staff was wholesomely entertained and
served.
When entering the home of the Har-
relds, one instantly is aware of an atmos
phere of music—music that is loved and
enjoyed by all people. All sorts of games
were played while some of us were inter
ested in the books and magazines that
were found there. Then to top off the
whole afternoon, Mrs. Harreld served a
delectable repast, which included chicken
salad on lettuce leaves, asparagus on
toast topped with boiled egg, congealed
pineapple and cucumber salad, hot but
tered rolls, all sorts of relishes, hot spiced
tea and then ice cream and cookies. Yes,
the refreshments were delicious! The
wdrole afternoon was simply grand and
we did hate to see 5:30 come when we
must leave such a lovely home. Mrs. Har
reld, thank you for a good, good time!
ON YOUR TOES
Virginia Turner, '47
On Spelman’s campus everybody has
a chance to attend all kinds of concerts.
We all enjoy going and listening to the
artist or performer and we are quite an
noyed and disturbed by those in the audi
ence who don’t know how to act.
Applause at Concerts and Lectures
Performers before an audience are en
titled to an appreciation of their efforts,
which is usually registered by applause.
At a symphony concert, applause is ex
pected at the close of a symphony or
sonata; the audience remains silent be
tween the movements.
At a glee club or chorus concert or at
a single artist recital, applause after
each number is expected. If there are
groups of numbers, unless it is stated
otherwise on the program, the audience
applauds each number.
Applause is out of order at any relig
ious service. If you are in doubt as to
what you should do when the case is
confusing, then follow the action of the
Mistress of Ceremony.
Applause ut Athletic Contests
“Check your manners here they will
not be needed in the stands’’ might be the
sign outside many an entrance gate, judg
ing from the booing and uncomplimen
tary remarks that are heard within! Boo
ing an official is a personal discourtesy
of which no one should be guilty.
Everyone, of course, takes part in the
“welcome yell" to both teams. Men re
move their hats, and everyone rises when
the Alma Mater of either school is sung.
Partisans of both sides applaud an in
jured player as soon as he gets to his
feet, whether he continues to play in the
game or has to leave it.
Conduct at Lectures
A lecturer that has to face an audi
ence with newspapers and books opened,
or ready to be opened, the minute the
lecture begins or becomes slightly bor
ing, starts out under a difficult handicap.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to ask
that a person who dislikes lectures re
main away, or that, if he is required to
attend, he do so graciously. At any rate,
remember one important rule: You are
expected to remain absolutely quiet dur
ing the lecture. Conversation and com
ments are poor taste and the person who
chews gum may ruin the lecture period
for several people around her. So let
us remember that the weight of social
approval or disapproval will depend
greatly on the way we act at public per
formances.
THE LEADING LIGHTS
Dorothy Green, ’50
The Leading Lights, Class No. 4 of the
Spelman College Sunday School, held a
delightful class party on Thursday eve
ning, February 20. Under the super
vision of Mrs. Hunt, our class advisor, it
was attended with sincere enthusiasm
by all of the members and the guest for
the evening, Miss Saine.
The entertainment consisted of games,
“stories” and songs. By “stories” we
mean this: Miss Davis wittily introduced
a game wherein a bit of information is
whispered to a person, who repeats it to
her neighbor, and she to her neighbor,
and so on. When the last person repeats
aloud her version of the information, al
together different from what it was at
first, we are given an illustration of how
gossip is spread.
Most delectable refreshments were
served.
