Stage Grew Selected By Director Moser Letting out a rebel yell, the five Greensboro dele,gates to the Columbia Sdiolastic Press convention in X"ew York cit.v descended upon the metropo lis to relight the Civil war in four days. Arriving IVednesda.v afternoon, the four students. Herbert Hattaway, Paul Miller, Betty Routh and Rachael 'Wliite- side, with their adviser, Yliss Lillian Secrest, set up their head(piarters in (he Hotel AVoodstock and be,gan their sie.ge of the city. Begin Boinbardinent AVithout wasting further time, the band be,giin its bombardment of the town. Their first attack was on the helpless Statue of Libert.v: then the.v surrounded Jack Haley, Hollywood star, after his radio broadcast and near ly .gained an interview, but Haley’s agents had warned him, of the impend- in.g attack and he managed to escape. Amon.g the other victims of the on- slau.ght were Boris Karloff, who also managed to escape after his perform ance in “Arsenic and Old Lace”: the stars of “Junior Aliss,’’ a Broadway pla.v which proved one of the most en tertaining spots in the trip; an inno cent b.vstander in the subway who bumped into one of the dele.gates, spilled his money, (hen dashed awa.v without stopping to pick up any of his change, which the Tar Heels re covered ; and numerous Brooklyn-ites who wanted to know if everybody in X'orth Carolina talked like the tobacco auctioneer on the “Hit Parade.” Few Idle Moments AAdien the tiny army returned, they reported every hour was tilled with ex citement and thrills. Their tours through New York included Rockefeller Center, Radio City, Riverside drive, Columbia university. Grant’s tomb, and many other spots which every tourist visits, and a few spots where they end ed up accidentally. For example, the .group headed for Columbia universit.y, boarded the wron.g subway and enier.ged in the middle of Harlem! AA'hen the weary, footsore pil.grims returned late Sunday night, they found a crowd of Greensburghers awaiting them—parents, teachers and friends. The first cry that emerged from the bedrag.gled dele,gates echoed through out the train station: “Xew York is wonderful, l)ut we wouldn’t swap ten Empire state buildings for our own Jefferson, or a dozen Times Squares, li.ghts and all, for Jefferson Square!’’ Welding, Cutting, Brazing For Over 23 Years RIERSON BROTHERS Phone 2.-0692, 248 B.
