New President Gives Inspiring and Orlftnal Talk To Incoming Officers A very impressive installation service was held in the auditorium on Monday evening when the members of the Student Council of 1931-'32 retired from office, giving their places and the opportunity for true service in their Alma Mater to the new Council. The old and new Councils entered together with the playing of the Alma Mater and the student body remained standing for the invocation which was given by Rev. Redhead. The retiring president expressed the sincere love for the work that she and her Council had done, and the joy that had come to them through the rendering of service to others. She also thanked the student body as well as the administration, faculty, and home department, for ltfl cooperation during the past year, stating that whatever success her Council had, came through their help and sympathy. The new president expresesd her appreciation for the honor that had been conferred upon her and her pleasure in being given the privilege to serve in an institution which was very dear to her. She then installed the Council The installation service WB8 brought to a close with a brief talk by Dr. Jarman. He congratulated the old Council on the splendid work which it had done and stated that the new Council would find pleasure and enjoyment in its tasks because of the many services which it will render to others.
'Happy' Bill Cope Entertains Crowd An entertainment sponsored by the Southside Hospital was given last Wednesday night in the large auditorium. The program featured "Happy" Bill Cope in various forms: as a pianist, a banjo picker, and as a player of the guitar and accordian The pieces were mostly of the modern jazz type which was made more amusing by the antics of the performer. Of especial delight to those present was 'Happy" Bill Cope's version of Ethel, a small girl, taking her music lesson. A clever comedian, "Happy" Bill Cope entertained for an hour a large crowd which exceeded the seating capacity of the auditorium.

The;e two numbers are: "Unfold Ye Portals" by Gounod and the -Hallelujah Chorus" by Handel. Both the Choral Club and the Farmville Business Men's Chorus will participate in this part of the program.

The Old and the New "The old order changeth giving place to the new."
old officers arc going oul of office; new officers are coming in. Monday evening, the old Student Council Rave place to the new; Tuesday evening, the Y. \Y. (". A. Cabinet of 1931-32 retired and the Cabinet of l932-'88 came In. Tonight, the new House Council succeeds the Council of this year. It all marks the end of an era and the beginning of ;.nother. The old officers have served faithfully, learned to love their work, and Feel sorry that the time has come to retire. The new officers feel honored to be the ehosen ones, and look
forward eagerly and perhaps a trifle anxiously to the duties of the year that Is ahead of them. The pathos of giving up things to which they have become attached is overbalanced by the pleasure which the old officers feel that they have had in the year's service. They pass on to the new officers the words of Lincoln: '*l am not bound t<> win. but I am bound to be true: 1 am not hound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light 1 have. I must stand with anyone who stands right -stand with him while he is right and part from him when he goes wrong.' ' The old order gives place to the new. Life, in which we succeed by giving our best, Roes on.

I chance upon a beautiful water lily, filling the small pond with its odors. I hold to me the faint glow of the sun as d iy slowly mingles in with the darkness of the night. I clutch at the blue of the sky filling the dome of the heavens with its hurt, but I can never caich it and hold it to me. The various tints of flowers fill me with awe. The croaking of the frog has the charm of music for me. The bird notes that fill the air bring joy to my heart and raise me to heights unknown. The world seems to me to be alive, bright, fresh, rejoicing that there is life. Animals run about, nestl? deep in the earth, and play as if they cannot possibly control their exuberant spirits. Plants lift their shining countenances and seem to say, "God's in His heaven, all's right with the world." The wonders of creation are springing forth and are giving hope and joy to everyone. Man is happy in his new gifts. The world is overflowing with brightness; it's new creations startle. Everyone is happy, and so am I! I rush swiftly along over the earth, mixing my soul with that of God and my heart with that of Nature. I behold God in everything. Nature seems to be a part of me rather than separate and distinct from me. I rush along and mix with it. Down the road I hurry—seeming to fly— into the blue of the blue sky. I shall not live on the earth. Swifty I leave the road and plunge into the whiteness of a cloud that conceals the blue for a minute. I ride along on the billowy pillow and never wish to return to earth. The cloud dips down near the earth and just misses the top of the tall gleaming trees. They don't want me to go back to earth; they say I belong to the blue of the sky. They want me to live in the skies forever. Human beings who are mortals cannot stay in the blue skies forever, for that is paradise, perfect bliss, man's unattainble Utopia. It is a reward that man can never attain. He is fated to earthly life until Death's doors shall open for him, and so he must accept earth's actualties and realities. He cannot live in the clouds and enjoy a rollicking life up there. He must live on earth. Thus is man punished; thus is he held off from that blissful life in the fastmoving clouds by day and with the bright stars by night. So is man forced to live and so am I! 'Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone." Bathe the earth with joy's laughter, not with sorrow's tears. Lizctte Reese wants to know why we waste our lives, already too short, with vain tears. Look out of your window at the beauties of life, and you'll ask yourself the same question. Why cry when others are laughing? Why cry when God is laughing through the things he has made and put on this earth? There is laughter in the air; there is laughter in the heart. While the laughter in the air fills us with joy, the laughter in the heart fills us with peace. The laughter is not loud and harsh; it is soft, low and wonderful to hear. It is melody; it is music; it is a last straw for the drowning man to clutch at; it is hope for the hopeless. The world is laughing, and so am I! All men are at peace with one another and have love for all around them. They cannot help but follow God's words. "Love thy neighbor." They see good in one another now where good is not. They see no harm. no evil in any man; their eyes aie tContinued on page 3)
