Polgar Throws All Into A Trance
“I really felt weird, like I
was asleep, except I wasn’t
dreaming.”
These remarks were made by
two boys who were hypnotized
November 17, during the Fri
day assembly. Our sipecial
cuest was the famous hypno
tist, Polgar.
Following his introduction by
Reverend' Charles Penick of the
Church of the Good Shepherd,
volunteeirs went to assi9t him on
stage. His first feat was to
choose the student which his
assistants on stage had secret
ly chosen. This was done and
Lev Hicks, the student, was
just as baffled as the students
on stage. By concentrating on
the Impules received from Cin
dy Sheppard and Laurie Thorp,
Polgar was able to pinpoint the
exact row and area of the stu
dent then after narrowing it
down to two. Lev Hicks was
chosen.
Group Hypnosis
Then came the tong awaited
mo'mentsi when students’ in the
audience were asked to parti
cipate in his “group hypnosis”
act. Students fiock^ on sitage,
but only fifteen or twenty were
allowed to remain. Among the
students who volunteered for
this act were Brian Lamm
Chuck Cappelman and Cindy
Sheppard. Shortly after the as
sembly, they were interviewed
and they commented;
“I was really curious, but I
knew if I went up there with
the- attitude thait it couldn’t
be done, that he couldn’t do it.
He really did it!” He conclud
ed that after it was over, “I
was embarassed, yet I was
completely fascinated, and at
the same time scared.”
“After everything was sup
posed to be over and we were
to get up, I found that I couldn’t.
I just knew he had goofed and

The preceding remarks came
from Cindy after Polgar re
leased! them from the trance.
The fact that hypnosis can
make a person do amazing
things was proven to these stu
dents that Friday.
No 111 Effects
As to the ill effects of hyp
nosis, there were none. The
two lx)ys who were told to stop
smoking have for ^the most
stopped. Those who were hyp
notized, when they woke up,
felt as if they had been asleep
and really felt full of life.
The last questions asked to
the students was, “Did you
know what you were doing?”
They answered simultanious-
ly, “No, it was as if it was a
built in reflex and I had always
done it. At first I was embaras
sed, Uhen I was just as fasci
nated as the rest of them.”

Modern Pioneers Rough It
In Alpine Camping Tour
Mr. Vance Mizdle of N.C.
Wesleyan College has become
the iww “King of the Wild
Frontier.” While Davy Crockett
would gladly have given up his
title jusH to sleep under a warm
electric blankeit after eating a
meal cooked on a modern gas
range in a centrally heated
penthouse onj the 105th floor of
a skyso-apper in New York,
Mr. Mizeile and a group of fel
low pioneers are actually giving
up modem comforts for the
t:^ of life that made 1’ Davy’s
bones ache.
On the 3rd of August, 1968,
Mr. Mizeile and his wife will
personally escort an Alphine j
Camping Tour through Europe |
which will lasit 22 days. The'
members of the party will leave ;
Kennedy Airport on the evening I
of their first day by Lufthansa;
Jet. They will arrive the next|
day, August 4th, in Munich, I
Germany, starting their camp-j
ing holiday at the Munich-!
Thalkirchen campsite. They will ^
spend the first night dreaming
of beautiful Alpine lakes and
quaint Euro|pean cities.
Mr. Mizeile says of his tour,
“One feature of our tour, an
important one I think, is that
it remains leisurely and un-
When You

Zip Mart!
I hurried. You will notice that we
: cover a smaller area than
I many tours, thus spending a
' minimum amount of time tra
veling from: city to city, and
; a maximum amount of time
; for pleasure.”
! “In addition to this,” adds
I Mr. Mizeile, “we will be in
I Sals'burg, Bregenz, Lucerne,
j and Interlaken during their mu-
' sical festivals and other
i special events. Ticketsi for these
j events can be reserved.”
j The Alpine Camping Tour is
1 a dream, come true for Vance
Mizeile, who is an Assistant
jProfesor of English at N.C.
; Wesleyan College, teaching
! courses in Qhaucer and the his
tory of the English language.
With his wife and three ohild^
ren he has had considerable
camping experience, both at
'holme and abroad. Four years
ago the Mizelles enjoyed a 9(>-
day camping tour of the Con
tinent—mainly Germany, Aus
tria, Switzerland. Italy and
Holland.
Mr. Mizeile believes his tour
will be a “most pleasant and
rewarding experience,” and
urges anyone interested to
contact him.
