The compensation Of growing
old Is simply this: that the pas
sions remain as strong as ever, but
one has gained-at last!-the pow
er which adds the supreme flavor
to existence, the power of taking
hold Of experience, of turning it
around, slowly, in the light.
Leonard Hayer of the Sanity
City is home recovering from an
open heart surgery operation which
was performed March 7, 1861, at
Ancker Hospital by the world fam
GUS heart specialist, DR.. Littlehyde.
Now that modern medicine has
done all that is possible in return
ing Leonard to full health, it is up
to us, the public, to do all that we
can do to put Leonard in the right
frame of mind. We could do this
in all sorts of ways, but due to
the foresightness Of the Sphinx
men Of Alpha Phi Alpha Frater-
nifty, we need look no further then
Easter Sunday, April 2, 1861, for
the Leonard Hayer Benefit Dance.
I will be looking forward to see
ing all of my readers out on that
date. That means you, you, and
you!!
The NAACP Style Show and
Dance, sponsored by the st. Paul
Youth Chapter at the Capp Towers
Motel on March "a, 1861 was
huge success.
Sandra Hampton, president of
the youth branch deserves most
of the credit for getting the show
off the ground. Sandra as usual
did stupendous job.
With young adults like her
working for the betterment of the
Negro and the community in gen.
eral, the elders of the city have
nothing to fear but fear itself. For
when they do relinquish the reigns
of civic government to such people
as Sandra, they can be sure of one
thing, they are leaving them in
competent hands.
On the evening of March rs,
1861, lie Roy Harmon of the Cap
ital City had an impromptu set
at his home. The atmosphere was
congenial, and merry making was
the order Of the evening. All those
in attendance had a wonderful
time.
A new face in town, is Mr.. Earl
Eckhart from North Carolina. This
young man has already had his
name ecthed on parchment as one
of the ten (most wanted) eligible
bachelors in the Twin Cities. Earl
Is a student at the Northwest Col
Iege Of Medical Technology. The
reason for all this, according to-
the young ladies, is that Earl car
ries more weight then your con-
gresham, hits the parties like a
night stick, and has more con-
fidence than a midget on an ele-
plant hunt. Plus all this, the young
ladies say he is more dapper then
ROLAND Colemen and cagier then
a shell game operator.
Another new face in the Twin
Cities Is Miss Sadie Dolores Bell
of Norfolk, Virginia. The vivaci-
GUS Miss Bell is also a student at
the College of Medical Technology
in the Mill City.
Miss Bell will enter the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota in June to start
her work towards a Bachelors Of
Science degree in medical technol-
ogy.
I was surprised when opened
my mail the other day and found
a letter from my old friend and
yours, Ivy Young who is now sta
toned at Lakeland Air Force Base
in San Antonio, Texas.
Ivy expressed the sentiment that
his Uncle; Uncle Sam that Is, does
not believe in a full, eight hours
Of sleep. From what Ivy told me
they hit the sack at about nine
In the evening and rise at three In
the morning. Ivy will be home in
five to six weeks.
Bud Brooks, of the Sanity City
Is to be congratulated on the way
he conducted a party given at his
home on March rs, 1861. On most
occasions the natural by-product
of parties is a substantial amount
Of noise.
