DEAR AUNT SUSIE
By BETTY MILLER
How did you like Victoria de
Los Angelos? Wasn’t she grand?
I’ve heard a lot of different opin
ions about her last encore—the
one in which she used a guitar—
but I liked it. Some people felt
it was a little out of place. I
hope Alexander Brailowsky
(November 24) is as good as
Miss de Los Angelos was.
There have been well-founded
rumors to the effect that the
Grass Roots Opera Company is
going to be really good this year.
They have imported talent for
the coming season. Five operas
in English will be featured for
the price of $6.00. This price
may be cut for students.
The MacDowell Music Club
had an interesting meeting last
Wednesday night. The subject
of music therapy was discussed
by several of the members. Did
you know that blowing a horn

All my life I’ve always felt
that people who talk quite a bit
really don’t have anything much
to say and the more silent ones
have a lot more depth and more
to offer, if one can only get to
it. I don’t know why I’ve felt
this way. I just have.
Well, Aunt Susie, recently I’ve
discovered this isn’t necessarily
so. In fact. I’ve found, in some
cases, the exact opposite—the
talkative ones are so full of
life and what goes on around
them, that they must get it out
and sometimes their expression
is pretty good, whereas the sil
ent ones are so often wrapped
up in themselves that they feel
as if nothing is worth talking
about but their own problems
and feelings. They know not
many people are concerned with
their personal life so they don’t
talk very much or perhaps they
feel that there are only a few
who are worthy to hear their
problems. Does this sound ridi
culous? Let me hear what you
think.
Not very much has happened
around Meredith. We have de-
ided by votes on the May Queen
and her maid of honor. Every
time something like this hap
pens I am made more and more
aware of the power of the vote.
I love the way the Student Gov
ernment is conducted on this
campus. Truly at Meredith “all
men share equally in their own
rule.”
Aunt Susie, have you ever no
ticed how in the movies when
they want to show great passion
or consternation they always do
it by showing utter disregard
for the outward appearance of a
person? The man wanders about
the streets all night in the cold
and rain because he’s been
jilted, the bobby pins all fall
out of a girl’s hair or her dress
gets ripped when she’s angry or
upset about something. It’s fun
ny how much emphasis we put
on the outward appearance of a

How many times has a sudden
panic descended upon you as you
are faced with the problem of
introductions? Perhaps the fol
lowing will give you a bit of
help along this line. Now your
best girl friend, Susie, is hurry
ing downstairs with you to meet
your steady who is bringing
along a fraternity brother who
is to be Susie’s blind date. Ar
riving in Johnson Hall or on
the porch in front of Vann at
7:15 for a movie date, you hear
your Bill saying:
“Mary (that’s you) meet Jim
Handsome.”
Then you, Mary, after a hello
to Jim, say:
“Susie, this is Bill Steady and
Jim Handsome.”
“Bill and Jim, Susie Strang
er.”
Then off you go to the Am
bassador. Remember, the boys
are introduced to the girl, call
ing the girl’s name first. In all
cases the younger person is in
troduced to the older (“Mother,
meet my roommate, Susie
Stranger.”),; but a gentleman
is always presented to a lady,
(“Mother, this is Dr. Yar
brough”) even though he is a
gentleman of distinction and the
lady is no more than eighteen,
especially if she is also a visitor.
A younger member of the fam
ily is introduced to a visitor,
(“Mr. Prominent, this is my
younger brother, Johnny.”) The
girl, if she chooses, may extend
her hand, but she is the first to
make the motion. “The word
“present” is more formal than
the word “introduce,” but the
word “introduce” is equally
proper. ,

maybe I’ve just seen the wrong
movies.
