Yet, we know how time after time you have been confronted with the idea of the blessedness of giving rather thao receiving, the idea to dig a little deeper and give a little more, and then the ever familiar, "Gee, thanks, fel low! You’ll never forget this.” But that isn’t the point. It was back In 1941—November. Elon had just won the last big ball game of the season. There was celebration galore, Thanksgiving holidays, and Christ mas just around the comer. Sure, we were all ex cited. Then came December 7, the day of the pre sentation of the MESSIAH.

THERE AND EVERYWHERE Trees And Fiances I met him at a party; He bowed with artistry. He was blond and hearty. And he asked to dance with me. We talked about the war And a hundred topics more As we spun about the floor; And 1 never even tried To check the thought inside; We shall name our first child Henry and dwell in a cottage near a lilac tree. And I smilled at his fiancee Cordially. ~ ' One afternoon at five I was strolling aimlessly, • When I met him on the drive. And he paused to chat with me. I ached to stroke his head And speak of love. Instead, “Nasty day,” was all 1 said. But 1 never once denied The thought that danced inside; We shall name our first child Henry and dwell in a cottage near a lilac tree. And I (flanced at his fiancee Appraisingly. He had to leave the city Rather unexpexpectedly. And he phoned me (out of pity?) And he asked to write to me. My pen I tried to stay But I let the past decay. And I wrote him every day. Never once did X deride The thought that screamed inside: We shall name our first child Henry and dwell in a cottage near a lilac tree. And I thought of his fiance Occasionally. I Imagine he resented My subjectivity. And 1 was roost tormented WKen he ceased writing to me. l^ter on I did discover I was hated by his lover . . . But I placed lAyself-above her, And my wish was gratified. ' And the thought that scratched inside At length was pacified . . . And we named our first child Henry and dwelt in a cottage near a lilac tree. And I thought of his fiancee Annually. Emily Crandell—Old Gold& Black HITLER'S MISTAKE In a dark, smoky beer cellar in the German city of Munich. In 1923. six men sat about a table talking. These half dozen men are plotting the downfall of German’s Weimar Republic. The new political party which is to rule the country following the coup d'etat is to be beaded by the man at the table—the one with the comic mustache And dirty trenchcoat. The group is seeking a name and a symbol, which will attract followers to their party and under which they can march in their hate. What shall they call themeslves? One stout fel- Ever Fince most of u« have born a*^If‘ t'^ same table with the rest of the white folk, there has al ways been talk about table manners, because we are habitually doing something wrong at the table. Books have been written on the subjcet throughout the years, but many are not complete. For instance, there is no mention made of a person's being impolite if they put their feet on the table, either before or after a meaU but most people think it impolite, anyway. Appearing below is a code of manners that may be of some help to those who need to brush up on their table manners: 1. Have no worries about your clothes when at the table. Dress the way you feel. In in the morning, pa jamas are permissable. One authority. Marie Gamer, says that if people are really sincere about their table manners, they will think only of staving off their hunger, and they will pay no attention to what a body is wearing 2. It is considered a mark of good breeding to sit on chairs when at the table, instead of the floor. This may be of some disadvantage at first to those who suffer from being jittery at high altitudes, but will soon be overcome. 3. A good time to serve yourself is during the bless ing. Quietly and rapidly serve yourself, and save a little for the rest. 4. Never spit your chewing gum In somebody else's glass of water. Unnecessary noise at the table is frown ed upon. In the case of Bernice Bangle, who chews to bacco. it is sugges^d that she deposit same in thc- gravey bowl, where no one will notice. 5. Stick the napkin in one's collar. If one is not wearing a collar, or if one is wearing a tee shirt, stuff the napkin in one’s belt. Carl Neil, Elon's fashion plate, has specially made napkins, tailored neck size, and made In colors that match his garments that he wears to dinner. 6. Polks should not say mean or nasty things at the table, unless they are like Leopold who can get much more to eat if everyone else becomcs sick and gives him their share after listening to an offhew remark. 7. It is a sign of great Intellectuality if one has a knowledge of some of the more elite terms bestowed to various ftems of the culinary art—a brief list of which ensues: Sliccd bread Is known as plaster of Paris; rolls and biscuits are referred to as cement; butter is called by the socialites “grease,** but the term Is changed to lard should oleo be used; spinach, cabbage, and the like
