Students Must Consider Beauty As May Day Need Tonight we as a student body will be given an opportunity to vote on the girls who will comprise our 1946 May Court. The job is a difficult one Bfl each student would like to see her best friend on the court. Yet, we realize that our personal likes and dislikes must not enter into our decision. Beauty must be the primary requirement in voting for a girl to represent our college as May Queen and as a member of the court. The situation is a bit different as one votes for the circus court and for Mardi Gras court. In these two cases, the personalities of the candidates enter the picture. This is certainly not so, however in selecting our May Court. Many outsiders yearly attend our May Day celebration which is held on the first Saturday in May. They judge our festival, to a great extent, by the gracefulness, dignity, poise, and attractiveness of the girls who make up the court. There are here at Farmville, honors for those who excel in scholarship, in athletics, and in activities. These achievements do not and must not enter into the selection of the May court. In choosing the girls, place your emphasis on beauty, paying particular attention to the way a girl walks. If the court is to appear graceful, it must be composed of girls who handle themselves with ease and grace. Of course, as individuals, we have different conceptions of what enters into the abstract term, beauty. Yet, we all would agree, it seems, on some of the general characteristics of beauty. Tonight as we cast our votes, let's lay

Bed-Check "Variety is the spice of life" and it was exa-tly that this week. For information about the above let's ask Evelyn Grizzard. Bonnie, was the extended weekend at home caused by that Philadelphia man? What's this we hear about Connie meeting her man in Richmond. Long time no see—eh! Is that the guy that belongs to the pin. Nellie? Does Julie have a new admirer? She received flowers this week. And then there's that T-A-L-L guy with Nell Scott. What's cookinn Nell? We hear that Betty thinks John Taylor Brickert is the most wonderful thing out—before and after bed-check! It must be nice. Nancy Mc.. to have a town boy hanging around S. T. C. Those eyes in the back of our heads haw seen Norma Soyars and Bobby Bass together—Right. Norma? Paradise was Jackie's when Kilby came to Farmville. Among the lonely freshmen, Kathryn Mosteller was not listed this week. Here's hoping Rosa Hill catches the bride's bouquet at the big celebration! William Chapman has been seen strolling the campus with Mary Ellen Petty. Is this something new "Petty Ellen?" That "Wolfe" has that certain gleam in her eyes when Tommy's around—it seems to be quite a case. "Booher" took the cuts this week-end and took off to Abingdon to see "the one." Leddie Foster gets around when the Fleet comes in, namely that wolf Bobby Slate. Kitty Wright's latest is a dentist —Good going Kitty, it might prove to be quite nice in the future. Vivian Elmore's Harold hit this vicinity not long ago. Notice the sparkler? Martha Wells seems to be doing the town with Prof. Fred Young of H.-S. C. How does she get around? Beanie has had that gleam in her eyes since Morris arrived. Keep it up. We think he's plenty cute! An A-l good time was had by Alice Hannah this week-end. It seems that Clint is at the top of the list. And last but not least, orchids to the mid-winter goers at the University! Shut-eye is scarce, so let's grab a little.

Watch closely when you Bra not playing and see if you can find a foul or error as soon as the umpire or referee does. When you are in the game, remember you are a member of the team and there are other girls playing besides you. Don't go haywire and forget to cooperate. If you are doing something which calls for individual work, try to make yourself work hard as though you were being directed instead of Just practicing by yourself. A good player on any team or in any game always trys to be In practice at all times. Make this one of your rules.

For those who would like to Know more about this rising young artlflt we have begged information from Miss Brail herself. She was born in Philadelphia, though she lives in New York now, und her musical studies were begun in Philadelphia. On going to New York she studied under Conrad Bros. Although Miss Brail has been studying music formally for eleven years, she was brought up in a traditionally musical atmosphere; her father being a violinist and Irer mother a pianist. Ever .ince she was a little girl Miss lirall wanted a musical career.

One of the most interesting interviews I have ever had was talking to Miss Dorothy Danzig, the pretty and talented pianist whom we so enjoyed the other night. Her musical career is not hers by chance or circumstance. Since she was old enough to remember she had planned to become a concert pianist. We are fortunate indeed that her dreams have come true. Miss Danzig's father, a newspaper man connected with the N. Y. Times is justly proud of his modest daughter. He's all "for her"
having a musical career. Miss Danzig is now living in Roslyn, Long Island, where she gives private lessons to promising young pupils. Although she had chosen music for hvr career, Mss Danzig did not attend a conservatory. Because she wanted an all-around college education she attended Vassar, but finding various activities there prevented her from devoting as much time as she wished to her music, she returned to New York where she studied under Arton Rovmsky for several years. Miss Danzig told us that for her listening pleasure she prefers Mozart's music. As for what she likes to play, the important thing is whether or not she likes the music regardless of the composer, although she is very fond of Chopin. Her numbers on the program were mostly classical but the French and Spanish pieces were chosen because she is extremely interested in modern music. When speaking of her former concerts she seemed most enthusiastic about her first. She made her debut about a year ago, and the fact that many critics were there made it very exciting.
