Say, are you aware of the fact
that this little world is a right won
derful place? Did you get that
certain feeling too, as you watch
ed the movie in chapel last week
on our lucky ole’ sun? (who is be
coming fairly neighborly again—
by the way) Tho it was but a clev
er and interesting movie and Fa
ther Time was merely a “Scrooge-
like” figment of the imagination,
the gnarled little fellow with the
scythe caused a nice warmth to
spread over me when he converted
into a spoken statement the ever
present fact in evidence all around
us, that someone surely MUST
love us a great deal! It caused me,
when I found myself out-of-doors
in the sunlight, to look up into that
blue, white-streaked, and furled
canopy — feeling glad that I
could behold the richness of it
and know the sun was shining, al
though couldn’t quite meet his
bright, confident glare. To look up
into that broad expanse of blue—
with nothing else in sight above
except the'peacefulness of it —
causes one to realize why birds
seem to enjoy their life of soaring
flight and why men sought for
ages and still seek, means by why
which they can fly and explore the
heavens. It’s so FREE up there! I
suppose perhaps that would be
one of the most important reasons
why.
Quite a few folks on campus,
and Sue Jackson in particular, ex
hibited absolutely exhausted, but
patient and somehow radiant coun
tenances late Friday afternoon.
They had finally collected all the
little “odds and ends” of our Per-
telote, bundled them up into their
respective brown envelope* and
! »eiit them oa their way with a
blessing to the publishing' house.
None could be more faithtful than
have been Sue and her staff in
editing this year’s Pertelote. We
can hardly wait until this spring
to see the results!
Several little birds whispered to
me that —■ while flitting over a
part of “Ye Davidson River”—they
heard a slight splash. T’was only
“Lou”, who, taking advantage of
the warmer weather, had ‘ventur
ed too near the water”. . .!
While speaking of “Lou” . . .
we would like to welcome “Lou’s”
new roommate — Joanne Smart, a
“cute little black-haired girl” to
our campus, (which is now hers al
so!)

Asked about his work here at the
college, Mr. McFadden replied, “I
find the faculty administration
friendly and co-operative and all
seem to be interested in the bet

mighty hard to come by.
He says a Confederate dollar in
good condition now will bring two
United States dollars and some
times more.
Lawrence says those crazy Yan
kee tourists have been known to
pay as high as $7.50 for a single
Confederate dollar.
And a $2 Confederate bill with
a picture of Judah P. Benjamin on
it is worth $3 in U. S. currency. A
$5 bill — that’s the one with the
picture of the Confederate capi-
tol at Richmond — is worth as
much as $7.50.
But the bills have to be in good
