Step-Singing as a
College Activity
Last Wednesday evening while the shades of evening were
gathering, the inmates of New Garden Hall assembled on the steps of said
building. The purpose of the gathering was to promote an interest in community
singing. As should happen in all such cases, our beloved college son “Hail Dean
Old Guilford” headed the list of songs sung. This was followed by numerous
rounds, old plantation songs, folk songs, and the like. Not only was an
interest in step singing manifested, but loyalty to the college was augmented.
The time past, much stress was laid on the value of
step-singing. This old custom is one that should e renewed and frequently
practiced. Not only does this custom promote loyalty to our college by the
singing of college songs, but the students learn better how to blend their
voices in harmony. It is the writer’s hope that these few words may bring forth
results in the form of more otherwise idly-spent evenings being devoted to this
cause.
