Aboard a German liner, Charles ind Sully .spent seven days travel ing across the Atlantic and duck ing the ship's rudder, which from time to time swung through the -eiling of their stateroom. Also Eboard ship were the boys' two motor scooters on which they planned to tour Europe. Arriving in Southampton on June 18, they suddenly realized they had no place to sleep that night. Thus they went to one of Southampton's most popular at tractions, Epsom Downs. They spent the night on the infield of the famous race course. The following day Charles and Sully departed for London where they "rode around gawk-eyed" seeing the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral and Parliament build ing. The usual foggy day in Lon don Town did not show itself dur ing the boys' visit. They toured London and the rest of England from sunrise to sunset (11:00 PM) for two and a half weeks. Following their stay in London, Charles and Richard headed to ward Edinburgh, Scotland for a two-day visit. On the way, Sher wood Forest served as their camp site for the night. Once in Edin burgh, however, a kind-hearted farmer opened the loft of his barn for them and there they spent one' ~hes your I // -.

During the day they walked through the ancient :astles and palaces of Scotland and rode around the beautiful :ountryside of the North Scotch Lochs. After heading southward into Glasgow, Charles found the site f the Cathcart family castle in Scotland. They also helped some shepherds herd their sheep up the mountains and then spent the night sleeping among the sheep. On their way to Wales they passed through Blackpool, which to them was the British Coney Island. Sully's comment on Black pool was: "The British when they get honky-tonk are worse than Americans." On June 27, they drove to the :oast and flew to Le Touquet, France. Here they had a little :ifficulty getting past the cus toms desk, since both had grown beards and no longer looked like their passport pictures. Finally they boarded a train and headed for Pamplona, Spain, for the "Running of the Bulls." This was festival time in Spain and "a gay time was had by all." For their one last European ex pedition, they crossed the Pyra nees on one scooter with 60 pounds of luggage, and arrived at the French Riviera. They then went to Paris for the Bastille Day parade down the Champs des Elysees on July 14. Looking back on their trip, the boys feel that they received al most every benefit possible by sharing in the lives of the average Europeans, rather than playing the customary role of the superior American. :aste ry is yours aste just as 1at's Salem! r, too nataa Takaro Ca.mpony HONORAR X Currently serving as officers of Adair, secretary; Sari Krebs, pres:i prexident. Leadership AKG BY JOAN WOLCOTT Feature Editor Alpha Kappa Gamma, woman's honorary sorority, became a part of the Carolina Community in 1928.

Edwards, was a USC student from Darlington and a charter member of ODK. Scholarship and service are re quirements for membership in this group. The women chosen are those who have served the Univer sity and contributed to Carolina life in many ways. Recognizing outstanding leadership in various fields, AKG requires a C plus average. "We try to select girls who have made the Carolina Community a better one by being well-rounded in campus life," said Sara Krebs, president of AKG. "Recognition is given to those who have shown outstanding leadership in the fields of scholarship, athletics, re ligion, campus activities, and so Dedicaite A FoeO0j By HELEN IHOWYER Spelling Progress Bulletin But I doubt, my dear Professor That you're such a keen assessor As you claim to be, Of the ins and outs of spelling Then it comes to really telling How ours came to be.
