At the same time, in a flight of unexplained whimsy, the administration is planting more bushes. The facts are simple: 25 red maples, 40 sugar maples, and 30-40 boxwoods have been, or are to be, planted in various spots around Brevard’s campus. This is part of a program to beautify the college. Whether it is also intended to screen the “goings-on” which inevitably go on has not been explained. However, anyone who would use boxwood bushes to furnish privacy would have to be either very short or ter ribly carefree. Returning from Spring Vaca tion, the woebegone students were greeted by the cheering sight of eight budding dog woods. The trees stood staunch ly should-to-shoulder down the center of the boulevard, defy ing the gloom around them. In the rain, at a distance, if cne squints and wears sun glasses, the boulevard looks ra ther Parisian, with its soft young trees and glossy, black, wet pavements. And then one lifts up his eyes and beholds the Winn-Dixie’s neon sign, flash ing on and off. Ah well, com merce and the American Way of Life must forge on, even though it is spring. And after all, the campus does look pretty. —Diane Warman PARSONS JEWELRY & GIFTS Fine Jewelry, Gdfte and Watch Repairing 30 £. Main has both tub and shower facili ties. There is ample closet space for the storage of clothes suit able to the many different climes that may be encounter ed during a short time period by the itinerant Neals. And there is even a mobile service telephone to keep the concert artists readily available to their management in New York and to local impresarios for succeed ing engagements. Early in the afternoon pre ceding each night’s concert, the Neal home-on-wheels pulls up beside the stage door of the au ditorium in which Harry and Al lison are to play. The bus door is opened, and down its steps, as from the porch of any station ary country home, three little Neals trot to romp and make mud pies on the nearest patch of lawn. At about the same time, their tour manager, Robert Bridge, puts on a starched white uni form to supervise the unloading of the pianos and their instal lation in proper place on stage. This task is handled by a local ground crew ordered to meet him at a specific time, and is generally accomplished in about 45 minutes. While Bob adjusts stage lights, Mrs. Neal tunes the pianos, and the Neals then take turns rehearsing on stage and looking after their brood. .(^ound five-thirty supper is whipped up by Allison for the entire famOy and gaily devour ed around the table in the bus’s diming section. Then, after an hour’s nap for all, Allison and Harry dress to the hilt for the evening gala. By this time, a baby sitter ordered in advance through the local concert auspices—arrives to take over. After giving the sitter meticulous instructions, Mr. and Mrs. Neal emerge from the bus to make a grand en trance to the concert hall she in robe-de-style and evening wap, he with homburg, white scarf, and white gloves complet ing his white-tie-and-tails con cert uniform. For the next two hours or so Harry Neal and Allison Nelson are glamourous and lionized concert artists living only for their public. Then—sometimes after entertaining a sizeable group of fans at a coke party after the concert in the bus— they close the door of their roll ing home to the rest of the world. Once again they become just a happy family unit in for a good night’s rest, preparatory lo taking off on the next day’s travel. Lumbering down the main streets of hundreds of widely dispersed cities and towns each year, the big bus-home invaria bly attracts curious crowds. To the drivers behind the Neals on trans-continental high ways, a legend boldly painted across the back of their bus tells the story, invoking a gay com- araderie of the road. It reads “you’re behind Nelson and Neal, Australian-American two piano team. Wave as you pass!” The “wave as you pass” slo gan has become so popular that it was chosen as the title for Harry Neal’s autobiography, re cently published by Lippincott —a heart-warming recountal of the author’s struggle for musi cal stardom and of the domes tic adventures and misadven tures that spice the Neal’s uni que itinerant family life. No Friday At Four This Week There will be no meeting of FRIDAY AT FOUR this week. A week from today, Dr. David C. Kirk, from OLIN will discuss PRINTING PAPER THROUGH THE AGES. The substance of Dr. Kirk’s lecture and demon stration will reveal how man cxjmmunicated through inscrip tions on rocks on down to en graving on today’s finest parch ment paper. Also, Dr. Kirk will have a few tricks up his sleeve. One of which will be the making of a piece of paper during hds lecture.
