Each one is to be commended for here personal stand against the unfortunate occurrences, and for the calmness which has existed where there might have been hysteria. To be commended also is the Student Government Council, who, undei the direction of Helen Agnew, president, Dr. Moss, and Dr. Lancaster, has worked night and day in an earnest effort to solve the problems which exist, and to preserve the high sense of honor which is Longwood's. We have been helping them. Let us continue.

Strolling With Stokes by Stokes Overbey Although there are only a few ajssembly programs left to be presented during this final month of school, we thought that the following answers might prove helpful in making the selections for next year's programs. The questions were: "Do you think the assembly programs have improved?" and "What type of program would you like to see and hear in the future?" A large majority of the students expressed the opinion that the assemblies have improved tlhs year. However, Sue Brewbaker declared, "There's room for more improvement. They shouldn't have a speaker every time." Ann Kemp added, "Something lighter and more humorous would be a welcome change. The speakers have been good, but there have been too many. I would like to be able to ask on chapel day something besides. "Who is going to be the speaker today?" Kakle McCready said, "On the whole, the programs have been
good, but there has not been enough variety. With the exception of one or two programs, we have had a speaker at every assembly." Mary Denny Wilson, BrUty Gravely and Sara Lu Bradshaw desired to see more participation and a wider variety in the programs. Ann Mitchell Motley, Vera Bryant, and Frances Stringfellow would like to have more musical programs. Among the suggestions for improvement were: Betty Barnes stated, "Next year, I think it would be nice if each class would be responsible for a program." Nancy Walthall said, "Probably if more students had a part in planning and carrying through the programs, they might have more appeal for the student body." Edith Kriinon made a statement well worth noting: "I think everyone would enjoy the assemblies more if most of the boys' and more of the girls' behavior were better."

The Specta-to)? By JIMMY THOMPSON THE LONGWOOD GOLF PRO'S: Had a little chat with Mr. Graham this morning and he said that his golf class was progressing right alony. It seems that he has right many potentials. Peggy Dee Hoover is one of the more outstanding. To put it as Mr. Graham said She's a natural born golfer." It is also reported that Nell Bradshaw and Clara Borum are outstanding as well as Betsy Wilson. It Menu that Nellie B. had new: had a club in her hand before the present class. She'a turned out to be one of the naturals also, I hear. The biggest mistake of the whole class, as the instructor puts it. is getting; them to relax their wrist and to realize the importance of it's use. He says that when there's dancing envolved they manage to get limp as a dish rag. but on the golf course they get stiff as a board. But who knows, there might be another "Babe" Zahaiias in the bunch. Let'.- hope 80 anyway. DERBY TIME AGAIN: Saturday brings the 76th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. There are about thirty five horses entered and as of yet there has been no definite top choice. There are none of the two year olds that seen to be outstanding. For this reason it is being calle the "dark horse" race. By this we mean that any one of the thirty some odd horses could take the top money. Most of the betcrs probably will wait un<il starting time before even placing their bets. This will ive them a chance to tind out which horse has the highest odds on it so that they can put their money on the most probable winner. For you Derby followers Eddie Arcaro, one of the nations leading jockeys, will be riding Battle Mourn which as of now has a slight edge over the rest of the field as a possible winner. You know, he's won tins i-reat classic before. A bunch of outstanding jockeys and u bunch of meat horses will take part in this colorful classic on Saturday. Jl ST A REMINDER: Thought I'd put a little reminder in here about the basketball game this month between the faculty and students. It has definitely been set for Friday the 18th now. At least that's the latest word from "Cookie". Game time is 7:00 p. m. so everyone come out and see the "flashes' of the faculty meeting the "weaklings" of the student body. With such stars as "Speed" Nichols and "Tricks" Draper it looks as though the students might have a hard time. All South America now fighting the yellow fever mosquito.

If you play tennis, but aren'l taking a class in it this semester, there's no need to feel neglected in the least. The courts are available to you at anytime there Isn't a class using them. There is only one rule you must observe while using the courts. The shoes and a regulation gym uniform. After all. this is little to ask for use of the courts.

"Polka Mania," the selected theme for the annual May Day pageant, will be developed by 230 I ongwood students in all of its phases, Saturday. May 5 at the Longwood Estate. Polka Mania is the story of a dance craze of a century ago. which had its beginning in Old Bohemia i Czechoslovakia of today, spreading like wildfire in a great, whirling convulsion Into other countries after it was brought to Paris. From then on. round dancing became the accepted, polite and social form of ballroom dance. Even the waltz, that so-called "wicked invention of the devil" was replaced by this hybrid in which everyone "kicked up their heels and toes, turned and whirled until they were ready to drop." Development of Polka The polka, pulka. or half-step be a me a craze at a time in hisic re when there was revolution and counter revolution, the era between the two great revolutions In France which was felt throughout Europe. Now there ipeared on the scene a national (1 nice, which fanned out the length and breadth of the con-
tinent, permeating social life in all countries. It was danced in every town and village, even to the remotest hamlet. The same form ks in revival today in tills country found in the ballroom and among folk and square dances. The actual step is retained as it was then, with a new variation, but one which is highly reminscent of Old Bohemia. The rhythmic beat of the "hop and slide and away we go" is traced in tills year's May Day festival from a typical folk song, the legendary beginning of the polka In the town of Kostelec on the Elbe, through its presentation by a ballet group in Paris. From there, as it fanned out over Europe, its unique ramifications or subsequent developments are portrayed in the polkas from the countries of Poland, Denmark and Germany. The ever lengthening farandole from the country side of Old Bohemia wove into an increasing number of concentric circles, the waltz and schottishche also beame part of the craze until round dancing became the accepted form of dance, carried into modem day.
