No one knew how the ’46 got there. Whoever climbed to the top must've gotten dizzy, though. A^iein' S:om5 to me I have been d.zzy at high altitudes in my time Actually, in case you're reading l)e;ween the lines, I had little in terest in what the '48 people did f.'eing as to how I was in the class ot '46. Still there was one mem ber of that '46 group who'd done gome sign painting and could be easily talked into doing more Anyway, the '48’s commenced to multiply. One wound up on the highway in front of Doc Smith house; another was on the high school and a dandy was splashed on the old post office. If you think I am jesting, you go see for yourself. It’.s still there. It was fashioned from good paint, the very best that could be, er-uh, "acquired” from ths olu i-^.vei- house, I think what caught Dr. Smith's Salilmaiin Is l^i’aisecl For His Recital By pnOF. CLYDE McCA.NTS (Guest Critic) Prof. Fred Sahlmann. of the Elon College Music Department, was well received Thursday night Feb. 20, as he presented the first ,n a series of Elon College facul-! y recitals. \ Hu program w,is an ainbitiou-, | one, whith called for technical' brilliance and musical understand-; aiK, one which exploited a greatj variety of pianistic styles, ihu: icmanding artistry in the broad est sen^e. These were the flual-^ :t;es which he displayed over and; )Vtr again during the course of he e\eninc. Drav, in^ from the classical r? pertoirc, Mr. Sahlmann opened his piogram wiih a rewarding pci- orniance of Mozart'^ Fantasia in D Minor, K. 397. The free form and numerous cadenza passages of this Fantasia often give rise to pianistic eccentricities, but as play ed by Mr. Sahlmann the work was well unified, full of clarity and a u ell-ordered feeling of openness and space. Two Schubert Impromptus, Op. 90, were played with true under standing of the music, the A Flat Minor Impromptu offering a par ticularly impressive display of ;iShtnc , and fleetness. In Mr. Sahlmanu’s performance, “The .MKnt Vvinds,” by American com- i-oser Griffes, filled its titular im- ^ii^^iions with real meaning, and i; is a true mark of the pianist's artistry that Debus.sy's "Claire de lune," so frequently performed as SNOW SCENE RECAI.T.S WINTRY SPELL AT ELON Wednesday, February 26 Church Men Brave Sno 193J And Ice To Attend Meet Just as a remindr of the winter’s biggest snow and the College and vicinity in wake of the snow is the above ley Auditorium.

It was big enough to be read by aviators. It was also the testiest of all, be cause the fellow who painted that ’48 one night had to hop over the peak of the roof between the 4 and the 8 while dodging an in- quliitive represent;itlve ot the law on the ground. We thought Dr. Smith had a point about wasting time by paint ing '-IB's on everything. 1 mean the powerhouse paint -upply had been used up on the train station art, anyway. About this time. Prof. A.
