Poe and Perry Believed
To Be One and The Same
Kappa Delta
In keeping up with the K.D.’s, we
note many things of importance oc
curring this past week. Two lucky
girls, Tog Gill and Margaret Powell,
take the spotlight where they proudly
display their newly acquired fratern
ity pins. Don’t give up hope, girls!
There is expected to be quite a
lull in the dormitories this coming
week-end due to the fact that so
many of the girls are either going
home or to the Davidson homecoming.
Some of the fortunate ones are:
Cookie Scoggin, Betty Bryan, Patsy
Scoggin, Mary Heilig McDow, and
Patsy Blue. Here’s hoping for their
enjoyment.
Another great day, “Rat Day” has
come and gone. For many of us it
is a day that we 'will never forget.
Several girls revealed their hidden
talents that day, and among those
to take a bow are: Patsy Scoggin,
Tooty Lael, and Nadine Darbyshire.
Their pointers on how to get a man
were quite entertaining.
At the last two Sunday “feeds”
we were fortunate in having several
guests. Among them were Mr. Num
bers, Mr. and Mrs. MacGregor, Mabel
Beach, Margaret Porter, Mr. Sweet
and Miss Orr.
A PARODY ON TREES
OirVs Version
I think that I shall never see,
A boy who quite appeals to me;
A boy who doesn’t flirt and tease;
A boy who always tries to please;
A boy who doesn’t ever wear
A slab of grease upon his hair;
A boy who keeps his shirt-tail in;
A boy without a silly grin.
These fools are loved by girls like me
But I think I prefer a tree.
Boy’s Version
I think that I shall never see
A girl refuse a meal that’s free;
A girl who doesn’t ever wear
A lot of doo-dads in her hair—
Girls are loved by fools like me,
’Cause who on earth could kiss
a tree?
—Reprinted from The Lantern.
Phi Mu
Have you seen our house since it
has a new coat of paint? Boy, are
we proud of it!
The army seems to have Ruth Kilgo
all aflutter. Jean Pett, too, whose
heart-beat Willie is with Uncle Sam,
also. Cameron is coming up to see
Ruth Wilkes. Tiny Duckworth and
Louise Brumley are looking forward
to going home this week-end. Lucy
Blackburn went to Duke last week-end
—but Duke came to see Nora Honey
cutt. Sue Crenshaw rates—the Esquire
banquet! Who is that cute boy who
comes for Mary Florence Shelley every
day? Convertible, too.
Catherine (Todd) MeSwain’s baby
was chistened Sunday in Gastonia.
Sue Crenshaw went over for the big
event, of course.
Chi Omega
All the Chi Omegas are getting
so excited about the hay ride we’re
planning for the week-end of the
twenty-fifth. We’re planning on hav
ing a grand time. Let’s hope for
good weather!
Russ Hubach is going to The Citadel
this week-end. Ridley Williams,
Franny Moseley, and Alice Payne are
going to Homecoming at Davidson. It
promises to be lots of fun.
Several of our youngest alums have
recently announced their engage
ments. Sue Mauldin, who has just
gotten her M.S, degree, will soon add
a letter, making it MRS. (Jones).
Franny Stough will marry her Barry,
and June Escott will waltz down the
aisle with her V.M.I. graduate. Best
wishes, all of you!

Information Given
By Diana Pittman
There has always been a sense of
something hidden in the works of
Edgar Allan Poe. Even his bio
graphers were unable to understand
many of his writings. Hervey Allen,
when completing his Poe biography,
admitted that there was “mystery that
binds me still.” They could not dis
cover the source of the reference in
Poe’s works. Also, they did not know
exactly what he did in the year 1832.
It was Diana Pittman, a native of
Georgia, who put the two together.
There was something unknown in the
writing; also, there was a year of his
life of which very little was known.
Why could they not be related? Did
Poe, who had enlisted in the Army
two years before as Perry, use the
name again while he was in England
in 1832? It is known that he was
abroad at that time.
With this as an hypothesis, Diana
Pittman travelled to Europe to learn
more about the young American nam
ed Perry, who wrote and took active
part in the politics during the pas
sage of the Reform Bill. Miss Pitt
man believes that Poe and Perry are
undoubtedly one and the same.
Whether or not we accept this, her
findings are worthy of thought, and
all would do well to read the entire
article as it appears in the August
issue of The Southern Literary Mes
senger.
“Ulalume,” she says, “is written in
the “catch-word” system that Poe
admittedly used in some of his works.
The meanings that have remained hid
den so long are made clear by know
ing the story of “Perry’s” experiences.
The young man was greatly startled
by the part the Church was playing
in politics in trying to prevent the
passage of the Reform Bill. While
an apprentice to Blackwood’s maga
zine, he wrote an article in that
magazine suggesting certain reforms
for the Church. In “Ulalume,” he
told the story of how he had left
a literary career to join the Re
formers only to have them, headed by
Lord Brougham, betray him. All
through the poem he made allusions
to the historical happenings of his
time. The “misty mid regions of the
Wier” refers to the vaults under the
Thames, at London, where the records
were kept and his sad turning away
caused by the over-political view of
the Church embodied in the words
“Ulalume” on the tomb.
Miss Pittman is planning to return
to England again when the War is
over to discover more, she believes,
about the young man whom England
knew as Perry and we knew as Edgar
Allan Poe.
