I nsung Heroines ... Too often endeavors receive publicity and notice which is far inferior to the importance of the role they play in our college life. Such is the case with the one hundred students who are working behind the scenes to make 1948*1 May Day celebration at Longwood on Saturday the best yet. These unsung heroines are playing an important role in their all-out cooperation with the May Day chairmen. The two hours which they have devoted daily for the past three weeks in ceaseless practices for dances, to work on costume and properties, and careful direction can not easily go unnoticed. Through the time and efforts of many such as these. May Day has become a vital institution at State Teachers College, an essential tradition. With the increasing complexity of the present world affairs it is iwident that such a project can reap many values.

s.s are offered plus a very thorough Red ,1// 1 bout .1 . . . Cross Life Saving course. It is a shame that we don't take more advantage of these splendid opportunities offered to each of us. We are obligated io the Athletic Association, the War Council, our country, and ourselves to take more exercise in order to lit ourselves physically. —A. .1.

Senior Personality

I Like America... By TED OWEN (Reprinted from The Yellow Jacket, Randolph-Macon College weekly newspaer. the issue of January ltj. 1942). America has been good to me. I am lucky that she will have me, that she will let me exercise tin- ambition, the energy 1 possess that lets me feel big and strong, clean and confident. Everyday material things, little intangible things make me like America. America is America because of ("oca-Colas, hot do^s, motor cars, trees for logs, horoscopes for dogs. It is pretty girls with shining '.yes. tilted noses, and nice figures. It is baby-carriages instead of bayonets, homes rather than arsenals. America is a wonderful land. Big. It's big in more than area. The bigness of a man is not judged by the girth of his waist alone. America is big though. Rolling mountains, endless plains, winding rivers, streams that crinkle when they laugh at the immensity of the sea. It is big with friendliness. The care with which it is always able to find "room for one more," one from an alien land, and make him add to America's greatness because of the ... j ... . M_ . . gratitude realized in th.s heaven. Ninety thousand people at a football game, millions of golfers, horse racing in every season, baseball and tennis enthusiasts add to the American mosiac. America is just one of those people eating ham and eggs, toast and coffee for breakfast, or playing the slot machine, or putting a nickel in the musical juke box. It is the fellow who asks you to join him at the Joint for a beer. America is a crossword puzzle. So many beautiful things are melted into its armor. It is honesty and truthfulness and youthfulness; it is straight-forward, raucously sometimes. It is free, like a laugh over a comic-strip character. It is strong because it can laugh at itself. It is music on the radio, hand-tailored cigarettes, good books, a wealth of magazines, news ideas, a gesture of friendliness; it is love for other people. It is love for other people that I like.

Spring Tennis Season Strings Into Action; Archery Tourney Xears

Net Ball... Take Two Once ■gftlfl the tennis courts are rolled and marked— ready for speeding balls and traveling players to enjoy. True MOUfL such scenes ate featured each day as the courts are tilled with players. For the benefit of those who wish to play, courts must be reserved. This may be arranged by signing on the schedule sheet of paper on the A. A. bulletin board. A new sheet is posted each day and players must report at specified time with proper shoes for playing. Because it is necessary to keep the courts in shape. regulation tennis shoes and no bare feet are required while

playing. At present a singles and a doubles tournament is underway. Because of May Day practices each afternoon of the week the program has been slowed up a bit, but next week games will determine final players. A deadline for the tournament will be announced next week.

Don't Wait Too Long ... Pacts concerning the leading color in color cup points have not been released, but we are aware that all through this year they marched side by side in wins and losses. We can guess by comparing the close color winnings to date that neither green and white nor red and white are apart on score, so with only a few more chances !o grab points— LET'S GO!

Archery Tourney Nears .... Here we reach one of the final events of the sports season when the spring archery tournament awards of five points to the winning color for the color cup. Red and white shot high score in the annual fall contest. In order to qualify for a team, a number of practices must be on record, so get busy and join your color in a team.

Bab* Ruth Pitches Ball... And on thv> athletic field each eyeing a "big league game" captures the hearts of many baseball fans. Of course, the balls don't travel over the fence or get autographed, but the game is fun and all who try it have a good time. Why r.ot organize teams as the classes did in volleyball, basketball, etc? That would bring more people up to bat and maybe more home runs. Dot Darracott, manager of baseba I, is in charge of the games during the activity period from 7 p. n. to 8 p. m. each evening

Golf Links at Longwood ... Have you golf players received your season tickets to the golf greens at Longwood? Have you noticed the newly decorated club room for players? The little club house is located just above the parkway at tee off to hole one, and has lockers for players' equipment. Mr. Norman Myers has tickets for students wishing to use the lockers, and locks must be furnished by golfers. The greens have been revnovated and are well taken ?are of with a daily touching up by the course foreman. Even the roughs are lacking in the usual clusters of jungle grass, making it almost a pleasure to get lost "in a trap."

Threats of Sugarless Tea Motivate General Concern Now that some of us have been threatened with no sugar in our tea next summer, the shortage of this vital liquid sweetnrr has assumed a personal concern. For the past week the sale of sugar has been frozen by the government, and yesterday a rationing card was necessary if sugar was what you went to the grocery store for. The scarcity of this Valuable product is the result of a shutting off of imports from the Phillipines and other places in the war zones. Also responsible is the sinking or diversion to other causes of the ships which formerly brought sugar here from Latin America and other place.. Rationing books have been Initiated here as in other European countries as a means for a democlatic division of sugar for Amercans—diabetics and all. The local

A. and P. manager was doubtful about whether or not the plan of the books was understood. The customer must present his ration book to the clerk who tears out a stamp. The clerk, in turn. the stamp which is sent to the government and the number of stamps the store has sent in determines the amount of sugar It receive. For the past few days schools all over the county and state have disbanded and suddenly found themselves centers for the issuing of rationing boows—a fact which has greatly chagrined the pupils The book contains enough stamps for a year's supply of sugar The penalty for the violation of any rule or regulation of this plan is ten years in prison, or a fine of ten thousand dollars. Or both—so we're trictly against hoarding, or being oversweet lest it cause suspicion.
