Alpha Highlights
The night before Homecoming,
when various organizations were
working furiously to complete their
plans before the Homecoming pa
rade, the Alphas discovered a novel
plan for a float. In keeping with
the theme for Homecoming, the
Alphas decided on Progress in
Science. After much thinking and
discussion and thinking, the Great
minds of Brother James Ander
son and Brother Winston Waymer
conceived the idea of a rocket aim
ed at a satellite. The rocket and
satellite were erected on a gold
float with black trimmings.
Two of the prettiest young ladies
on the campus rode on this float.
Miss Alpha, Miss Delores Wil
liams from Brunswick, Ga., and
Miss Sphinx, Miss Florence Will
ingham of Atlanta, Ga. They wore
black and gold suits which were
perfect for the setting.

Reprecussions of
The Vienna
Youth Festival
An important phase of each suc
cessive Festival has been the pro
gram of post-Festival publicity de
signed to create an attractive
image of a non-political, represent
ative, gay and wholly successful
carnival in the minds of the many
who did not attend. The Seventh
World Youth Festival held in
Vienna from July 26th to August
4th this year is being followed by
the same campaign of distortion in
the publications of the Festival In
ternational Preparatory Commit
tee, in the Sino-Soviet and other
Communist press and in the post-
Festival publications and speeches
of the various National Prepara
tory Committees.
They are contrasted with quotes
from diverse non-Communist
sources:
“The residents of Vienna made
contact with the 20,000 delegates to
the . . . Festival the very first day,
dashing the hope of reactionary
elements . . (29 July issue of
L’Unita, daily organ of the Italian
Communist Party.)
“The stadium, which now seats
75,000 people and where the open
ing of the Festival was held, was
simply jampacked! . . . Though the
opening ceremony lasted over three
hours, not one person left. Even
the official representative of the
Austrian government remained
seated.” (World Youth, page 14.)
“Those eye-opening discussion
sessions —• added to some of the
well-reported strongarm tactics
that the Red Festival organizers
have been employing—are show
ing many uncommitted delegates a
truth about Communism and about
Western democracy that they had
not been expected to learn.” (4 Au
gust issue of The Washington
Post.)
The View
by George I. C. Davis
It stretched across the bay
With never ending clear, blue
water,
Gay and rippling on
With crest of each new, rising
wave,
Though small,
Reflecting sun’s bright gaze.
And off to right and left
There stood the mighty mangroves
Rising high, while at their feet,
The little ripples ceaseless tried
To cover sand, but vainly so,
For ebbing was the tide.
And as I sat, th&Tiour flew
The sun went down, and so
The view increased in splendour
With each piece
That vanished ’neath the sea.
The Western sky was flamed,
A-gleam with bright red-orange
glow
That streamed and twinkled
Cross the bay . . . but warning,
Marked another day.

FASHION
FLASHES
It has often been remarked that
clothes make a person. To some
extent this is true.
The college co-eds step into the
spotlight on casual occasions wear
ing large plaid skirts, in bold colors
of red, burnt orange, moss green,
gold, royal blue, brown, purple and
aqua. These skirts are matched
with contrasting color sweaters of
cashmere-wool blend, lamb wool
and banlon. For those casual oc
casions, flats with the “Queen
Anne” or “Bohemian” heel are
worn. But, the newest look is that
of “boots.”
On other occasions, they prance
in walking suits in the latest fall
colors accented with the “derby.”
Black patent pointed-toe pumps
are still prevalent with the large
purse as a companion. For that
“after five” event, the black and
red cocktail dress prevails. A
rhinestone tiara and other jewelry
accentuates loveliness of the out
fit.
Leading fashion editors give the
following hints concerning hosiery.
Seamless stockings should be worn
by women with small legs. Seams
should be worn by those with large
legs, inasmuch as the seams tend
to divide the leg and give a slim
mer appearance. The new tinted
hosiery should be worn on formal
occasions only.
Flash!! Reminder
For Cutters
Speaking about a chapel program
that was really “in the groove,”
the students of Morris Brown Col
lege were really swinging to the
music of President Cunningham
and band. This band consisted of
President Cunningham on “mu
sical sticks,” Dr. Cochran on
“bongos,” Mrs. O. B. Waller on
“maracas,’ ’and the student body
doing the “hand jive.”
All this jazz was conducted by
the lively Mrs. Geraldine Moore,
chorus director of South Fulton
High School.
See what you “chapel cutters”
are missing.
The Human Relations Club has
organized for this coming school
year and elected the following of
ficers: Eddie R. Walker, president;
Sandra Smith, vice-president; An
toinette Graham, secretary; Ethel
Bolden, treasurer; Margarite Han-
shaw, chairman of program com
mittee; Ugertha Birdsong, chair
man of deputation; Barbara Farm
er, reporter.
The objectives of the club are
as follows: To break down barriers
of communication, to act as a fact
finding group, and to help students
engage in meaningful experiences
in human relations.
On November 20, 1959, the club
presented its first chapel program
of the year with its theme being,
“Human Relations Here and
Abroad,” which featured Mrs. Ed
die R. Ross and Miss Essie Young
as speakers.
Miss Young spoke on her trip
to Europe this past summer in
which she visited places such as
Paris, Germany, and England. Mrs.
Ross spoke on her traveling ex
periences in the United States in
the summer of 1957. Included on
the program was Miss Sylvia
Oliver who rendered an inspiring
solo.
Three students participated in
an American Friends Service Com
mittee Work Project on Saturday,
November 21, 1959, along with
Negro and white college students
of Atlanta. Shirley Andrews, Eddie
R. Walker and Ugertha Birdsong
washed windows at Our Home of
Perpuetual Help for Terminal Can
cer Patients. Later they had dinner
at the United Liberal Church where
Dr. Cahill is pastor. There was also
a recreational and evaluation pe
riod.
We are inviting you to become
members of our club. Meetings are
held every first and third Satur
days of each month in the Educa
tion Building.
Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Rowley are
sponsors.
12 RULES FOR
HAPPINESS
By GRENVILLE KLEISER
Happiness is a habit — a by
product of right thinking and liv
ing. Here are 12 rules for happi-
less.
1. Live a simple life. Be temper
ate in your habits. Avoid self-
seeking and selfishness. Make
simplicity the keynote of your
daily plans. Simple things are
best.
2. Spend less than you earn. This
may be difficult, but it pays
large dividends in contentment.
Keep out of debt. Cultivate
frugality, prudence, and self-
denial. Avoid extravagance.
3. Think constructively. Train
yourself to think clearly and
accurately. Store your mind
with useful thoughts. Stand
guard at the door of your mind.
4. Cultivate a yielding disposi
tion. Resist the common tend
ency to want things your own
way. See the other person’s
point of view.
5. Be grateful. Begin the day
with gratitude for your op
portunities and blessings. Be
glad for the privilege of life
and work.
6. Rule your moods. Cultivate a
mental attitude of peace and
good will.

7. Give generously. There is no
greater joy in life than to
render happiness to others by
means of intelligent giving.
8. Work with right motives. The
highest purpose of your life
should be to grow in spiritual
grace and power.
Be interested in others. Divert
your mind from self-centered
ness. To the degree that you
give, serve, and help, you will
experience the by-product of
happiness.
Live in a “daylight” compart
ment. That is, live one day at
a time. Concentrate on your
immediate task. Make the
most of today.
11. Have a hobby! Nature study,
walking, gardening, music,
golfing, carpentry, stamp col
lecting, sketching, voice cul
ture, foreign language, chess,
books, photography, social
science, public speaking,
travel, authorship. Cultivate a
vocation to which you can turn
for diversion and relaxation.
12. Keep close to God. True and
enduring happiness depends
primarily on close alliance
with Him. It is your privilege
to share His thoughts for your
spiritual nourishment and to
have constant assurance of
divine protection and guidance.
To stay an amateur ... a man
must love a thing very much since
he not only practices it without
any hope of fame and money, but
practices it without any hope of
doing it well.—C. K. Chesterton.
