Not only are there external evdences of the presences of the war statues, flags, weapons, markers to be found n profuson, but also a very real theatre of war may be dscovered among Southerners. P.eauregard's staunch stand and famlar motto are often too true to be a laughng matter South of the Mason-Dxon lne. Yet ths s understandable for the South has a tendency to change, and forget, slowly. Too, somethng as devastatng and personally tragc as war whch dvded famles, and frends, and countrymen, whch ended n destructon and defeat, would necessarly leave a deep mpresson on the mnds of all those who survved t. t s not at all dffcult to understand why the war s stll remembered n both the North and the South.

Or has the materalstc and fun-lovng atttude of the.amercan people prevaled to the extent that the honor of war and ts serous purpose are forgotten by hordes of toursts and profteers.

Another year t takes on the splendor of an hstorc settng as past events are told and future hopes revealed, f settnga n the dell at Longwood Estate fluctuate as often as the 7 BJ'S thrmseh On May 6, 938, the pageant was enttled "An Old Englsh May Day,'' wth the dell playng the role of Sherwood Forest. Wth the rsng of the sun. the merry crowd of vllagers and country folk gather n the outskrts of Nottngham and lrsten to the proclamaton of the order of the day. Many are the trals of strenght and skll, many the rustc dances whch enlven the day. Wth the crownng of the queen, comes the clmax of a day of mrth and revelng. As dusk descends, the tred and happy throngs dsperse, lghted on ther way by the flckerng frefly. When the last mortal has left the green, the frefly beacon summons the sprts of the nght. Sx years later on the sxth of May, 39, the theme dealt wth "The Faere Queene." "The Legende of the Knght of the Redcrosse"... the story of a fathful young consort who rejects the evl lures of a lady sutor. Peasants, lords, and lades Jon n gay revelry, honorng the fathful knght and ther new Queene. n 94 came a change n date as well as n theme. Ths tme of May 0, "Amerca n the Makng" told of our great land n the begnnng young, strong, untouched, stretchng from sea to sea. To t from other lands came the oppressed, fearful, hopeful. Gladly the land embraced them, gave up ts rches, mbued them wth ts own youthful vgor. Woodland, delta land, prare land, mountan and valley besde folk of almost every natonalty told of what and who had and s makng Amerca. Ther motto was the nscrpton from the base of the Statue of Lberty. n 954. the theme agan dealt wth hstory. Ths tme wth "Past and Present n the Heart of Old Vrgna.'' t began wth the settlng and establshment of Prnce Edward County, contnued through the ndan Era. Poneer Era, Colonal Perod. Educatonal Trend, Agrcultural Development, and the Cvl War Era. From t went to the Reconstructon Era. Depresson Era. and 9 to the Present Day. Wth the last m mnd t seemed v tha hope found ts way from depresson, a war was won by a patrotc naton; fnally, out of the past arose the present day stll carryng tradtons nherent n the heart of old Vrgna.

Some of the stuaton could be teared by the admnstraton ssung statstcal nformaton to the freshman class.

Farther nformaton was not avalable.) Edtor. As members of the Class of '64. a class that has made many con- trbutons to the sprt of Longwood, we wsh to express how hurt we are because of the recent dsplay of dsconcern sc shown to us by the admnstraton of ullege and by our sster class. We are confdent that all nterested students are aware of the utter chaos that has resulted from the decson made by these two partes, wthout the consultaton of the Freshman Class, to declare all upperclass dormtores "open." True, these dormtores were "open:" however, they were "open" only to the and 'l.'l. The Freshman Class s extrrmely nsulted by the atttude 'aken toward t. t seems that the admnstraton, that has constantly remnded us of the love 'hey hold for us, can see no further than the sze of the enrollment of the Class of 965. t hat the junor class, off red ther choce of two beautful dormtores, could see no further than ther own selfsh means. Ths acton has resulted n the dvson of next year's sophomore class physcally as well as sprtually. How can we ever agan hope to acheve the unty and devoton we once shared as a red and whle class at Longwood College? Promses, rumors of an ncrease of drop-outs, "boardng houses," etc.. wll not serve to our njured morale. We feel that an apology s forthcomng and are sure t wll be granted. Dsapponted Freshmen Edtor: What objecton has Longwood to promptness? Why s t that we who represent the college are so unable or so unwllng to arrve and to leave on tme? t should be obvous that to enter Jarman or any other room n whch a program s beng presented, after the program has begun, wthout beng more than conspcuous, but postvely dsturbng, s practcally an mposulty. Yet, whether t s a class, an assembly, or worst of all, an "outsde program," there are always those who are late not rust a mnute, but fve and ten mnutes late. There may be several reasons for ths; and although they are absurd, tln-v are no more absurd than the tardness tself. Could t be that there s such a lack of tranng n common courtesy lhat Longwood s unaware of ts fault? Could t be that we at Longwood so object to. or are so unnterested n any "outsde nfluences" not drectly connected wth the classes themselves that we wat untl the last possble moment to arrve and for the frst possble moment to leave? s t that a conversaton, or two more puffs on a cgarette are consdered more mportant than beng n place when the program s renewed after an ntermsson? Perhaps t would be wse to take a look at our actons: to remnd ourselves that we are not students and faculty of a kndergarten, nor members of a brdge club, but are representatves of an nsttuton of hgher learnng and therefore presumably represent the ntellgent, mature memf socety.
