House Charms Audiences
With Mouth Harp Melodies
By Walt Dear
When Rotarians settle down for
a dull after dinner addx-ess and
the members are suddenly arous
ed by the shrill melody of a har
monica, they know Chancellor R.
B. House is the speaker.
This is what Chancellor "Bob"
calls "following his notes" when
delivering a talk.
The audience first gets a few
barSj of "Just 'Because You Made
Those Goo-Goo Eyes," then some
measures of "Buffalo Gals," and
finally, "Roll Along Boys, "Cause
When The Sun Goes Down, You
Won't Roll No Mo'."
The Chancellor has entertained
at banquets,' faculty and student
gatherings and at different meet
ings in the state. Last summer
he scored a hit with students here
when he played at the annual
! in the past have been held in
Memorial Hall.
Dance Committee members yes
terday issued their usual set of
rules governing the Woollen Gym
, dances and the concert. They in
: elude "no drinking or drunken
ness on the dance floor," and co
eds may not leave the dance and
return without a chaperon. Dance
Committee personnel will police
the dances and the concert.
Nearly every campus fraternity
j and sorority plan social events to
keep the Germans spirit going.
The weekend will be the final
Germans Club activity for this
school year.
The Germans Club sponsors one
big-name dance each quarter. The
Club is composed of 13 campus

will be provided for the occasion.
The truck taking the students
out to the lake will leave the "Y"

and go by the women's dorms.
Chapel Hill
Royal Mounty
Amazed students wondered
last night whether the Royal
Mounties were in town or the
local Police Department had ex
panded its operations. -
But a quick check with Offi
cer G. R. Creel, perched jauntily
atop a stubborn black saddle
horse, revealed that his charge
didn't belong to the Police. He
was merely taking the horse
back to Farmer Hogan out Ililis
boro way. It seems a Carolina
gentleman brought more back
from Hogan's Lake than he look
with him.
Watermelon Festival.
He refers to the musical instru
ment as a "mouth harp" instead
of a harmonica because the actual
folk name for it is mouth harp.
"I first learned to play tunes
on the mouth harp from hearing
fiddlers play at square dances
when I was a youngster," says
House. He explained that he once
had aspirations of becoming a
singer saying, "I Was always
pleased with my vocal efforts but
nobody else was."
So he switched to the harmon
ica and has been entertaining
campus groups ever since.
On several occasions ha has
stayed up all night playing dif
ferent tunes.
House first started out on his
musical hobby at Thelma (a wide
place in the road in Halifax Coun
ty), and even now his favorite
Beebe's Work
To Be Feature
Of Glee Clubs
Concert Scheduled
For 8:30 Tonight;
'V
Admission Free
"Joe Palmer's Beard," the
first performance of Hank
Beebe's humorous cantata,
will be the featured work on
the combined glee club pro
gram tonight at 8:30 in Hill
Hall. It will be sung by the
Men s Glee Club and conduct
ed by the composer.
Beebe wrote the cantata,
which is based on an American
folk legend, as part of the re
quirement for the Master of Mu
sic degree. It has been revised
for the present performance.
Hank has a wide and diverse
musical background. He began
organizing and arranging for
dance bands and choral groups
at the age of 14. His many years
study of piano have included sev
eral years here under the direc
tion of Wilton Mason and J. P.
Schinhan. For the past two years
he studied arranging under Liv
ingston Gearheart at the Waring
music workshops in Shawnee,
Pennsylvania.
Most of his choral work was
done with the Sigma Chi Sextet
and chorus, whom he led to vie
tory in three successive Valkyrie
Sings. He directed the music in
the Playmakers' performance of
Gershwin's "Of Thee I Sing" in
January.
The latest " venture by Beebe
has been with the Bell-Tones, a
popular quintet which has ueeri
heard recently in Chapel Hill,
Trespassing,
Affray Cases
Heard Here
A 19-year-old student from
Knoxville, Tenn., was convicted
on an amended charge of tres
passing in Monday's session of
Recorder's Court.
John E. Lievsay, 305 C Dorm,
was .originally charged wit h peep
ing secretly but the charge was
changed with the approval of the
prosecuting attorney. He was
found guilty and fined $25 and
costs.
He was arrested by Patrolman
Earl Bush between Alderman
Dormitory and President Gray's
home.
Another case concerning a stu
dent and instructor was also heard
in Monday's session. Donald W.
Carmichael, from Fairfield, Conn.,
and Harold H. Harville, instruc
tor in the Pathology Department
were found guilty of an affray
and fined costs.
tunes are those of the Gay Nine
ties and his childhood.
Perhaps the best known of all
his selections is the Goo-Goo Eyes
piece. The Chancellor explained
that this song was originally part
of a minstrel show and tells of
the romance between Bill Bailey
and his sweetheart.
Sitting back in his comfortable
office in South Building, House
recalls the time when he tried out
the uke and guitar but decided to
continue playing the mouth harp
because it "seemed to please
people and I could play it better."
At times House has teamed up
with Dean Roy Armstrong who
plays a solid sweet potato and
Controller Billy Carmichael who
is an enthusiastic singer and piano
player. But House emphasized
that "we have different types of
music." .
