The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-10

The days may come, the days
may 60 = and too swiftly the
time passes. Then the day for
departure to college is herald
ed; and there's an excitement
of going away, meeting so many
new people, and living the new
college life. But this feeling bat
ties hard and strongly with the
sadness of a farewell until
Thanksgiving-and until Christ
mas for some.
Unperturbed by the lengthen-
ing of skirts or selection of
matching hats and shoes are the
young males which ponder, in
stead, over the color of suit
or the loudness of a tie or a
pair of socks. Going-away COM
plcations fill the bill for those
boys also; perhaps not so init
mately as for the girls since the
responsibility of name tapes and
laundry tags, other sewing, Sc
lectlons and packing falls more
so on the shoulders of their
mothers. However, we'll guar
antee the interest is just as high
for those fellas who are claimed
as freshmen on college campus
es, and that they are awaiting
the great day with as much
eagerness and anticipation.
Last Sunday closed the beach
season for several of the gang
heading for college, as they en-
joyed last swims; the final grab
for suntan; and the ending OF
the jaunts down to the bowling
alleys, dancing spots, soda
shops and boating trips. Wake
Forest called it's freshmen STU
dents to it's campus Monday,
and early that morning they set
out in that direction.
Heading for Wake Forest col
lege as freshmen among the
boys were Tommy Hall, O. X.
Pridgen, and Robert Furr. Incl
dentally, o. K. departed sooner
than the others as he left ole
Wilmington Saturday afternoon.
Monday afternoon found other
Wilmingtonians heading for
school-however, these were mi
nus suitcases and train tickets.
Wilmington college opened its
doors on the first class in its
brief history, and quite a few OF
the hometowners enrolled.
and many boys beat path
through it's halls.
Eugene Flnsley, Franklin Ora
ham, and Ray Hood are some
of those taking up college
studies there. Sonny Blalock,
Charles Sneeden, Bill Quinlivan,
Irving Maynard, George Jones,
Tommy Wrench, and Steve Stet-
anadis are others among the
many local fellas that are en-
rolled at Wilmington college.
Tomorrow - morning, noon
and night-more than a dozer
boys will vacate their place
around the dining table or one
of the frequently filled chairs
down at Higg's - with remem
brances of supper parties, birth
day celebrations, and untorget
table pie-baking sessions in the
kitchen.
It's time for Davidson to cal
students back and to receive the
new freshmen. Heading towards
