Spring is sprung
The grass is riz (?)
I wonder where
Miss Bonney is ?
I have no nickel
I have no dime
To hear that cute
T.lttle telephone chime.
Gosh that’s tough ’cause I had
so inucli to tell .lean. Temptation
go wav' from my door! She really
wouldn’t mind if I borrowed her
phone for just a minute. Let’s
8ee, I’d better liiake a list of things
I want to tell .lean before I call.
She will want to know that “Sun
shine” Garrison is beaming again
because Paul is coming home just
sny (lay now. Do we hear wedding
bells? Lib Gudger has promises of
greeting another returning veteran
none other than brother, Lamar.
The rest of us will have to take
ours out in dreaming.
Montaldo’s fashion show was what
anj'one could liave called wonder
ful. Leslie Bullard was quite the
envy—any wonder, a light blue cash-
were sweater! Conover should have
been here to see OUH models. GOOD
I-OOKING.
The life of the freshmen! Well,
"■e remember when we, like Lib Jef
fries, went to Wake Forest too. Have
fun Lib, or need we ask?
The seniors don’t feel bad now
about their 12:00 permit, that is
that the whole nation has adopt
ed Salem’s “early to bed, early to
^ise” curfew.
Nancy Barrett and Bunny Bunn
planning a final fling before their
one and onlys” depart for foreign
shores.
Oh, yea I can’t forget the charm-
additions to Sister’s House and
to Room 102. We have heard rumors
that the ones in Room 102 are call
ed “Henry” and “Xoble” but they
still look like gold fish to us. '
Marion and Ad*ele explored the
bidilen (yes, we have been there)
''’irtups of Newton this past week
end. Betty Harris really believes
extended vacations as well as
^'XTENDED plane trips. Where
‘^'1 you say you went, Betty?
Garrett was off to the “ HilF’
to see her “one and only”??? com
missioned.
Major Bill Stewart could come
to Assembly every Tues. and Thurs.
and then the cuts committee would
hfive no more worries. Wonder why
Molly and “B. J.” were looking
for Gudger and Lnanne during his
one tale? It’s a secret—they say.
^^ow I’ve got to go beg, borrow.
01’ steal a nickel because I’ve found
Miss Bonney—behind .closed doors,
't Was a nice thought anyway . . .
^ben I have a house I’m going to
bsve a phone in every corner. Call
Up sometime.

During the afternoon Mr. Mueller
objected very strongly to being call-
e3 a commentator; he insisted that
"C was a reporter. The main differ
ence between a commentator and
Reporter as stated by Mr. Mueller
“A reporter gives facts and
you interpret them as you like,
^'’bere as a commentator has already
interpreted the facts for you.”

Reminiscences of three weeks at
Practice Housekeeping; Dreams
filled with visions of rare roast
beef, apple pit? a la mode, rolls
golden- brown, delicious aromas','
only to be rudely awakened by that
unfailing alarm clock to the stark
reality of a real breakfast to cook
—the slow torturous proceess of
removing oneself from those won
derful Beautyrest mattresses to the
kitchen downstairs. (Wc never could
persuade Angela that it was worth
while).
With the combined effort of all
the cooks, we finally managed to
get breakfast on the tabic, feeling
sometimes that it woulcl be more
appropriate to say “Bless these gifts
prepared by Thee.” Getting the
breakfast dishes washed and try
ing to beat the second bell to 8:30
classes became part of the daily
practice, and we became fairly ef
ficient at it.
A rotating schedule can be a won
derful thing—just when you think
you’ll bo chief cook or hostess for
the rest of your life, the week-end
upsets the fruit basket and you are
demoted to the more lowly but more
satisfying position of maid. Of
course it worked the other way, too.
Getting ready for company found
us trying to do the imjjossible five
things at once and accomplishing
three of them. We made up for being
solemn and dignified then by hil
arity at other times—if Laura and
Mary Lucy could ever learn to
look at each other with out laugh
ing! And Mrs. Meinung’s tales kept
us in stitches half the time. Then

nient. She announced the qualifica
tions for the office and recognized
the candidates, Doris Little and
Peggy Witherington.
She also gave a picture of the
office from the view' point of one
who has served in it. She told of
the duties and explained how a
President has to meet problems
and talk with students.
The speaker explained that the
ballot boxes would be open from
nine o’clock until three o’clock in
Main Hall. Voting is done by classes,
the boxes being marked accordingly.
This year the per cent of the total
voting for each organization and
the per cent by classes will be
made.
The qualifications for all offices
as summarized by the President
w’ere open raindedness, courage,
ability to analyze situations, logi
cal thinking, and willingness.
A total of 89 per cent of the
student body voted on the ammend-
ment. This included 96 per cent of
the Freshmen, 97 per cent of the
Sophomores, 97 per cent of the
Juniors, and 100 per cent of the
Seniors (all on (^ampus).

we learned the truth about Kath
leen’s seven sisters!
Calamities (some of them we won’t
talk about yet!) sometimes upset
the smoothness of our schedule. Ex
tremes in temperature kept us guess
ing what would come next. Cook
ing at nighttime—making rolls,
baking cakes, getting ready for the
next day—and trying to squeeze in
our lessons (by now these were al
most forgotten) was a practice in
concentration.
Then nighttime—Alyce with her
acrobatic stunts—daring leaps and
a fallen slat. Studying together for
classes the next day was part of
the program, and talking, of course,
took some of our, time.
Yes, it was practice at hotisekeep-
ing—it was an experiment at living
together and working together, ani
we learned something of the impor
tance of honiemaking.
And now, since we know that good
cooks are at a premium, we’re sav
ing our services until the right
man comes along!
MUELLER’S LECTURE

line to Aachen.
Declaring that the greatest de
cision of the war was choosing be
tween Cologne and Arnhem as our
next target for attack, Mr. Mueller
stated that if bad weather had
not prevented our capturing Arn
hem, we might have won the war
before Christmas. However, he con
tinued, an important port was ren
dered useless to Germany and th?
robot bombs were stopped through
this battle, so it had some advant
ages.
In predicting when the war will
cud, Mr. Mueller said that there are
tw'o phases to look for. The first one
is the occupation of the Saar Basin,
which will cut off Germany’s coal
supply. Second, is the capture of the
fourteen industrial cities east of
the Ruhr, which are often called the
“spinal column” of Germany. After
that, it will only be a matter of
months before the defeat of Ger
many is complete.
Ending on a serious note, Mr.
Mueller remimled the audience thnt
the returning veterans 'of World
War IT will h:ive great ideas for
the future of America, and they will
need help in applying these ideas.
Declaring that there is one thing
they will all say, Mr. Mueller plead
ed, “In the name of our dead, listen
to us.”
Following the lecture a short open
forum was held during which Mr.
Mueller answered many pertinent
questions concerning the future of
Germifny.

by Sarah Hege
It is upon ITobert Shannon’s
search for happiness—for truth—
that Dr. Cronin builds his novel,
The Green Years. It is not a novel
primarily concerned with plot; there
is little stirring action. It is rather
a novel concerned with the character
and the developing philosophy of
a sensitive boy.
Robert Shannon, an orphan from
Dublin, comes to live with his ma
ternal grandparents in Levenford,
Scotland. On all sides he faces
hardshijjs. His clothes are wrong,
and he is ridiculed by the other boys.
But more important, his religion is
wrong—he is a Catholic.
As Robie grows older and life
becomes harder, he loses.his child
ish faith. He reads The Origin of
the Species and Renan’s Life of
Jesus. In his bitterness the priest
tries but fails to reach him. “Re
lieve me. Shannon, the intellectual
approach to God is madness. You
cannot fathom the impenetrable.”
Robie wishes for beauty. He wish
es to rise above the narrow limits
of this provincial town, but he
wavers — then once again rises.
“How many times in the future
this Robert Shannon will shuttle
between apathy and ardour, rise
and be smitten again, we are not
at liberty to predict—or how often
he will make, and break, his peace
with the Being towards whom all
human impulses ascend."
Second only to Robie, there is
Grandpa. It is old Cadger Gow who
adds a tiny spark of humor and
rest to the story. What did it matter
if he loved pretty women and a little
drink! He believed in life and re
fused to “acknowledge his own de
cay.”

Adam, Kate—the book is truly a de
lineation of characters—too many,
perhaps. Th characters often are
those of a tableau: they are describ
ed and their character traits are
discussed. There is no doubt after
the paragraphs of description that
Papa is dominated by his love of
money; there is no doubt that Mama
“scurried in timid servitude.”
Often Dr. Cronin’s language is
awkward and unnatural. He de
scribes two little boys “making
up”. “This moment of reunion, so
poignantly desired, broke down the
barriers of our restraint, evoked
from us a demonstration greater
even than our crushing handclasp.”
The Green Years niust be read for
the feeling, the understanding, the
philosophy with which Dr. Cronin
endows his books.
