JOHNSON

After ten glorious days spent as
a lady of leisure at home, l find
it most difficult to come down out
of the clouds that Easter vaca-
ton put me in and get my mind
back to studying. Everything was
perfect. the weather, the gang
that was home, and just the fact
that we all could be together even
for a little while. If you could
have boarded that northern train
Easter Monday night, you would
have found four very detected pas
sengers seated between the cars
on their suitcases. It wasn't that
they couldn't afford seats because
they all had pullman reservations,
but it vas easier to catch the
final glimpse Of that Carolina
moon from the large plate-glass
windows of the train vestibule.
These four rather unhappy trav-
ellers were Nanny Moore, DeLean
Longley, Marguerite McRae, and
me. School IVES the destination OF
each, and the problem Of leaving
home and friends was uppermost
in the thoughts of all. AS we sat
on our suitcases we relived the
past days, and YEARLY reminded
ourselves that there were only
eight more weeks of school and
1t would be home for good. Mar
guerite was the first to give up
and turn in, but before long, the
s~uitcases were abandoned for the
sleepers and the vestibule was
empty of four girls who had re-
gretfully left behind them mem
cries of times and people for their
chosen halls of learning.m
DeLean got off early in the
morning. reducing the humber to
three. After a hurried breakfast
with Nanny, and a peep into the
berth at Marguerite who was still
sleeping, managed to gather up
my belongings and take my leave

you know, it it's half SO bad, In
fact, it was fine to see my room
mate again and to hear of what

one of the most complete ones I've

On cause here in D. C. this past
weekend markd another ~colorful
celebration of the renoWn Cherry
Festival. 1t was held on the banks
of the Tidal Basin, midst gorge
GUS cherry trees in full bloom
and lovely ladies bedecked in
spring finery. The queen and her
court reigned in regal glory while
many notables spoke in honor OF
the occasion. The North Carolina
Society held their monthly dance
at the Shoreham hotel in honor
of the Cherry Blossom festival,
making the weekend a full and
complete one for all the partici-
pants in the gala festivities. And
the cherry trees aren't the only
ones that find themselves laden
with fragrant blooms; yellow for
sythia, light star pink magnollas,
and azealas grace the lawns OF
house and government building
The moon comes up full and yell
low here in D. c., too, but it lacks
the beauty that being in N. c.
gives it. 1 guess it's the same
moon all right, but somehow those
full. glowing moons seem made
lust to rise over Wrightsvlle
Beach, leaving a path of melted
silver reaching down from it into
the restless blue of the fathomless
ocean below. l saw it rise with a
mysterious green glow which 1t
soon lost for the brilliant white
ness which smiles down upon
those whose seek its rays for love
and beauty. 1 saw it rise as If 1t
came from the very depths Of the
ocean, wet and shiny with the sea-
foam which chung to it as it soar
ed skyward. And 1 saw it take Its
place as lord of the heavens, sur.
rounded by all the millions OF
twinkling stars that compose Its
court. 1 saw it as you so many
times have seen it, and will e II
