TmLiPS SECTION SS B T ACKWELL HONORED ' SHOWER IN COLUMBIA fhe following account of a osrty fci lumbie honoring Miss Elizabeth icVwell is taken from The State: 'Miss Margaret Goza entertained at delightful linen shower Saturday mins’ at her home on High street hon^r of Mi«s Elizabeth Bluckwel' Newbarrv, whose marriage to D n i Johnson, Jr., of Newberry take" ce March 26. 'onoufls, narcissi, and hyacinths re attractively used about the re-, ition, living, and dinin'* rooms.

Tiny silver horse tes tied with white ribbon were >n as favors. The honor <*nest resepted » corsage of narcissi Hue hyacinths, and her place dr Plans are under way for the fourth \nnual May Day event at Newberry ’ollege. The student body of the College is to be commenled on its se- ection of Margaret Dodgen, daughter f Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dodgen of '.raniteville, as Newberry’s May "'ueen. Margaret may not be the uost beautiful girl at the College, >ut she is, without a doubt, about the martest, the sweetest, and the most uopular girl there, and that’s saying guite a bit. The following helps to irove what I’ve just said. She is a nember of the Y. W, C. A.; member >f the Life Service Group having scr eed as its secretary one year and dee-president one year; member of he Lutheran Students Association nd former president: secretary of ler class in ’35; secretary and treas- irer of her Icass in ’36; vice-presi- ’ent of her class in ’37; May Day at- endant in ’36 and ’37; member of the ?hilomathean Literary * Society for 'our years and serving the society in various offices; exchange editor on i he Indian in ’37: assistant editor of The Indian in ’38; vice-president of he entire student body this year; •hairman of the Woman’s Student Council this year; vice-chairman of ;he Social Council this year; member if the ’38 Newberrian staff; member jf the Forensic Council; member of the Dramatics Club; listed in “Who’s A’ho Among College Students” in ’38; dected most popular in senior class his year. And do you wonder why ne was elected Queen? Another popular girl has been named maid of onor to the Queen—She is Miss Lilia Johnstone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Johnstone, of Summer street. Lilia also has a fine record at the Jollege. She is a member of the YWCA ; member of the Philomathean literary Society, having served as president one term; member of the Chapel choir of ’38; member of the Newberry College Singers for four ears; treasurer of her class in her reshman year; May Queen attendant in ’35, ’36, and ’37; assistant editor jf “The Newberrian” of ’38. Besides her college activities, Lilia serves as organist at Aveleigh Presbyterian church. Attendants for the May ijueen will be selected at an early date. Again on the subject of students, we find several local boys and girls who are away at College making good or rather, making the dean’s lists, be- :ause of high scholasti# stranding. Word comes home that Miss Frances Werts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Werts, made the dean's list it Greenville Women’s College. Miss Werts, an attractive blond, is a senior at GWC. She graduated from New berry high in ’34 with highest honors and she has attended GWC for the past four years. Ralph Baker, up at Washington and Lee University, also made the dean’s list. Only 125 stu dents of the entire University rated the list. As a result, Ralph was able to come home and spend a few days 'ast week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Baker, Main street. We have learned that Ralph received an ther notable honor on a recent oc- -asion. He was elected to the honor ary fraternity, Chi Gamma Theta, at Washington and Lee. Both Ralph and Henry are members of the social f rat, Phi Delta Theta, of the Univer sity. We hear that Henry is going in for a bit of spring football at school and that’s why he isn’t getting the weekends at home that Ralph is.

Harman Sunday af- emoon preached a very interesting .e.mon. his text was Cor. 13:l3. .is topic was “Love and Knowledge.'’ -e xirst spoke of Love, then ox' Know- -dge. He said tnat true love never ..es, it is everlasting and fickle love -oes not amount to anything. Anyone wno lives a Christian lixe must have -ie true love in their hearts. There uust be no jealousy for if so it .s not -ue love. Remember that Christ xves us all; He first loved us and we oust love Him. What a great biess- .g when one has a companion for ach of them to be devoted to one uother, this makes life a pleasure, iut if jealousy comes between them t is not a pleasure. When a person btains knowledge it’s love that caches them how to observe it. knowledge is great provided we place '• in the right way. Of course if we Jo not have Knowledge we accomp- : sh little in life. You will always cn-w that God’s love is everlasting md if we love God we will take inter- ■"•t in His house of worship. You will -i-ro vr»”r offerings Tberally.
