In keeping with-the theme "A Night?rrt?thr?World's Fair,"?astately Perisphere and Trylon a-f domed the center of the beautifully decorated rfym, surrounded by brilliant flags representing the many natrons, and balloons o f numerous colors to lend a festive air. , Delta's exhibit of insignias, souvenirs, and other works of art were a main attraction. Wjhile many danced to the syn copated rhythm of the S.C. State Collegians, others partook of sav ory sweets, nuts, drinks, cream, tried their luck at the Game of Chance lingered at the Dramatic Club's Gypsy Booth for a peer into the future. The gay throng was entertained by the Pyramid's School of Swing and guest artist, Alba Myers, who tapped danced. A highlight of the "World's" Fair" was the Hollywood Casino which was splendidly decorated J with a unique arrangement of balloons. Patrons were served soft ! Jrinks while they were delightfully entertained by a floor show can sistntg of n fan and tap dancer. The .feature of the evening, the skits, "were T>oth entertaining-and amusing and showed a wealth of talent among participating organizations. The first prize, a silver, loving cup, held two years pre- | uously by the Criterian Club was received by the Alpha Kappa A1 , pha Sorority for its rendition of a Chinese garden of singing and (. lancing maids.

THOMAS Special to The Palmetto Leader: May I say that I am one among | the oldest, regular, (active gradu . ate trustees of Allen University. I entered AlleVi during the PresiI dency of the greatly beloved J. W I Mk>rris, with a faculty of Profes 1 sot's Baumgardner, A. E. PeCts, J. [f entrt-ed the 8th grade. Dr. Prioleau of, Charleston was Principal. I Some of the prominent trustees were: Mighty Chappelle NeJ son, Beckett, Dendy, MeDaniel Johnson, Coleman, Lykes, Lyles, Ramsey, Sterrett, Welch Chavises .Jeffersons. " Nftchols. Goit. DeLaine Johnson, Gowdy, Archie. eft al. : "And with these"stalwarts and mas- i idents of Allen University, werey ear-marked and labeled. The | three Johnsons, the beloved" Chap- p pelle; Beckett, Mance and Sims,|; were labeled and ear-marked and. it was known before we left the, General Conferences; all the trus-h tees ever did was to siirn the dotted line. When Bishop Noah W. , Williams came, he brought his j President along with -him. -I-worrder where were these modern Cat alines, Chief Justice Huigreses, < Constitutional lav/yers, when these 1 Northern and Southern Bishops 1 were runnrng Allen "UntVersity. i The late Dr. Eugene Howardh McGill A. B., was the first select-j< ed and elected President of Allen, j University by the trustees in more . < than a quarter of a centur,y oj- if j < ever. The same is true with all < aur Church Schools, trustees sign!i the dotted line. i The Senior Bishop came to us, ( honest-to-goodness, blameless m i life and character, with v thirty | { years experience as a Bishop, and t preaching love and peace, fair \ ola^V to all. All UD and none f clown. Giving 'the laymen equal [ ( representation on Trustees and. j Executive Boards, and everybody f it? saying he is the best Bishop \ we have ever had in South Caro 11 lina; he made us drunk with pow- e er. "Oh Boy, didn't we appreciate't it?"- I prophesy that with all hisjl goodness, that if he doesn's get i a little more Vitamin in his blood! 1 he will go out at the little end of s the horn. p The A. M. E. Church allows 8 per cent of her Dollar Monety for F these schools and the Great A. M. E. Church and her friends must do -the rest. And I prophesy a- c gain that it wont be lope before a we as trustees go back to the dot- 1 ted dines. Too many thousands' ( of dollats pass through the hands c of our Presidents to truat it with j1 Tom, Dick and Harry.

Mary David in well chosen s< i ords thanked Mr. ,Dickinson for d lis address, replete with practical p information. g Reluctantly we left the garden if which made such an appeal t o ji our aesthetic tastes, that forced t< upon us the fact that to get away o fron# the duties and cares of the w day orve need only to visit such a t( scene as was there portrayed and 1 feast one's soul en the beauty of the Garden, t * . ... .J. . n?Jt* , W%r . * >OL'TH CAROLINA, SATURE Observation Trip Thrc Mutual Provides Rich Educational and Inspirat Efficiency in Operation and Orj Orangeburg, S.
