BLUE RIDGE High up on a hill Amazed, I stood still And gazed into the great beyond. Where mountains rose and kissed the sky. And Blue Heavens encircled them on high. Stately trees near by me stood— And wonderment held me fast. A lake I saw in a ravine below The sunlight glistening and creating a show By reflecting these beauties of earth and sky And returning them to the watcher's eye. I could not help but look up there To Him who made these glories here. Helen Smith
"HIGH TOP" After leaving a note to the night watchman to be called at 3 A. M. the Farmville delegation at Blue Ridge slept peacefully. "Honey, get up! Didn't you hear the night watchman knocking and my alarm clock ringing? Winston and I are almost dressed." yelled Edith. "Ho hum! This mountain climbing is great, but I was just dreaming oout the nice trip we had over to Montreat yesterday and the talk we had coming home. Get up! Helen, here come Sue and Lucille after us. Are you going to wear a sweater?" •'Sure, I'm going to wear a sweater, but I still insist this climb up the mountain is too much for one who is to play in the tennis tournament. You'd better be resting up yourself, Honey, for the swimming meet." "Gee! aren't there a lot of people going? Why here comes Dr. Walmsley and he's all dressed up for mountain climbing." So the half asleep and half awake crowd left Robert E. Lee Hall and started up the mountain. It wasn't long until Winston and Dave. Sue and Arberry. Honey and Bod (needless to mention last names) found mountain climbing much easier in groups of two. "Look out! Lucille slipped. But who wouldn't on a straight up climb at 3:30 A. M.? The climb continued over rocks that grew bigger and bigger until finally a little cabin was reached. At last! a real mountain top and at just the right time to see the sunrise. Seated and resting, our party discussed the usual topic of how good that Blue Ridge breakfast would taste when we returned. Someone was so tired that she even suggested sleeping during the morning devotionals. Winston, however, was sure they would miss something good and everyone agreed with her. Mr. Matthews' wonderful talk of the previous evening on "Race Relations" was next discussed. Hans Strok, a German student in the crowd gave some interesting comments. Soon in all its splendor Sol appeared. For a moment all was silent. Blue Ridge is a wonderful place, and more than ever on High Top we were conscious of the divine power we worship there. Helen Smith
Of course you are interested in dramatics! And why shouldn't you be? Is there anything as exciting and enticing as the thought of your acting before a large crowd or of seeing someone you know perform on the stage? Here at S. T. C. you have an opportunity to do just that thing for there exists a wonderful Dramatic Club that produces wonderful plays which are directed by a wonderful coach, Miss Leola Wheeler. Each year two plays are given—one in the fall and one in the spring. In the fall play the male parts are taken by member of the HampdenSydney Jongleurs. However, in the spring play there are only girls. which provides a chance for more of our girls to act. What makes our club a success is its unique management. There are six groups or departments: acting, stage setting, make-up, costuming, lighting, and business. The names of these departments give you some idea as to the work of each. You not only learn how to act but how to coach a play. You have a splendid opportunity to use your own ingenuity in the way of making stage scenery and costumes. You will be fascinated with the new lights which we have just bought and paid for by ourselves. Therefore, if you are willing and interested, you may become a member of this club without possessing any outstanding qualities of an actor. In the beginning of school you enter the group or groups you wish where you will act as a sort of an apprentice for a certain length of time. During this time you are given a fair chance to show your ability, and if the executive committee thinks you are capable, you may be duly initiated as a member! Be thinking about this and listen for the notices which will tell you when and where to come to hear more about this interesting subject. Also, if you haven't an over-supply of money, start saving your pennies now for the plays! Freshmen, take this as a tip from an upperclassman —they're plenty good and you will not want to miss them!
