I'agc Four 1 HI. H )i S N L r 1 B A N N E R MAY, 1948 m PIATTER PATTER Lot’s see what my typewriter has tc type out this time, what it has to f.ay about the latest discs in your collections. First of all I feel that it’s only right to mention that top favorite fiist — ‘‘NATUUE BOY” it really climbed to the top fast, and I think it’s there to stay a while. Have you read about the brief history of this number, if not you’ve really missed something. It seems as if ‘‘GOOD ROCKIN’ TONIGHT” gets most of our nickles at the Gym. We have to admit it’s real great and nice dancing. The Freshmen and Juniors can vouch for that, what about it Gang ! ! ! Something on the semi-classi^’ side, yet still great is the “SABER DANCE”, and let’s plug those im mortals that will always be favor ites “STAR DUST”, “I CAN’T GET STARTED WITH YOU”, “ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET”. ■‘AFTER HOURS”, and the many Others. LOUIS JORDAN is still recording some fine discs, such as “REET, 1 ETITE and GONE”, “BARNYARD EOOGIE” while Bull Moose Jack son is doing his sharp crooning on such fine pieces as “ALL MY LOVE BELONGS TO YOU”, “I LOVE YOU YES I DO” and “BOWLEGGED V/OMAN”? T. D.’s “Boggie Woogie” is still Design Your Own Hat Now that Spring has come, and those things women usually wear on their heads as an “excuse” for a hat Itave blossomed into the most elab orate garden or what-have-you, it seems that a little inside story of just how people go into the creation of hats is in order. In making a frame hat, as the one illustrated, the necessary equipment is buckram, wire, milliners thread, head size ribbon, and the fabric for covering the frame. Joiners, which lire small metal clamps used to con nect the wire, may be used if they are available. All of the material is f.ut on the bias. With these few words of introduction into the field of milli nery we may now go into the actual making of a frame hat. First of all, decide and work out in detail the fctyle of hat you wish to make. Next, draft a paper pattern, then pin pat tern pieces together for a fitting. Make all corrections in the pattern before cutting the material. After corrections are made the pattern pieces are cut out of the buckram and fabric. In sewing buckram together, I first find it best to make a lapped seam, because of the stiff quality of the n>aterial. The wire is then sewn to the edge of the buckram to help re tain the original shape of the hat. After the frame has been completed the fabric for the covering may be sewn together. Remember always that basting and fitting must be done before making any final stitching. In making a frame hat, as the one illustrated, the inside and outside crown are sewn together; then the outside edges of the brim are sewn A Now Qualitative Inspiration In Art Poet's Cornet Test For Manganese mighty sharp, also Les Brown’s j u ■ „ „ ’ . , . together. The crown and brim are “Leap Frog”. Sarah Vaughn does a | ^ rriighty sharp rendition on “THE SONG IS ENDED”. I almost forgot Nat Cole’s “T.OST APRIL” and “ROCK BOTTOM”, by Gene Phillips all good disc that should be in your collection. “INDIAN BOOGIE WOOGIE” backed by “WOODCHOPPERS’ BALL” by Woodie Herman, Rus Morgan’s “A WONDERFUL WIN TER FOR YOU AND ME” are real sharp. The late Fats Waller left behind many great numbers which will also remain favorites, “AIN’T MISBE- HAVIN’”, “YOUR FEET’S TOO BIG” and a number of others, like wise the late Glen Miller’s record ings are much in demand and are really collectors items. The most appropriate song for this time of the year is “GRADUATION DAY” and Jo the Seniors we dedi cate it to you and also all the other pieces that are memories of your College Da.vs. And don’t feel left out, we’d love to have you back next year! ! ! ! Until I see you again here’s “Best Wishes to You From All of Us.” “JACKIE” 24-Hour Service McRAE BAGGAGE & TRANSFER Dial 8127 106 Macon Street Greensboro, N. C. fitted over the frame and joined there by using small hand stitches around the base of the crown. In this ! case ribbon is used to cover the sec tion where the brim and crown are joined. A job is never complete un less the inside is finished off as nice ly as the outside. In finishing off the inside we use what milliners refer to as head size ribbon. This ribbon has ii saw-tooth edge and may be stretch ed on the edges by a process called circling. This is done by using a warm i.on and press cloth. While the rib bon is damp the edge of the ribbon is kneaded with the fingers to give it a circular appearance. Circling is uecesesary in order for the ribbon tc lit the coutour of the head. Remov able decorations may be added after the hat is finished. This concludes your brief introduction into milli nery which at first may seem com plicated, but with a little patience may become an interesting hobby, or perhaps even a profession. —Ida K.

It seems that there were three cars parked along the driveway behond Pfeiffer Hall. As usual Ma Mac walk ed over to blow the horn and invite the young men to move their vehic les. Unfortunately for Ma Mac and amusing for the onlookers each of boys had so constructed their car batteries so that their horns would not blow unless the ignition was on. The look of sheer consternation and frustration present on Ma Mac’s face when she could not blow any of the horns was something that will re main in the memories of the gleeful watchers a long time. ‘He who laughs iRst laughs best,’ must have been Ma Mac's theory on the situation, though as she out sat the three boys and caught each of them in turn try ing to move their cars. Orchids to Mother Mac for being such a good sport about the entire incident. It is things like that that make all students reminence with love their “good old college days.” A New Qualitative Test for the' Determination of Manganese was re- ’ cently announced by Miss Christine i Hartsfield and Mr. Sayles of the. Chemistry Department. This new method consists of plac ing 5 grams of the suspect in a flask i and adding lOcc of 80% acetic acid. Stopper the flask and shake vigor ously for one minute. Then add 0.2 j g. of potassium dichromate, lOcc of concentrated nitric acid and 5cc. of i 20% stannous chloride solution. Heat I the solution to boiling for one minute and set aside to cool. A bluish green color develops on cooling indicates the presence of manganese. This determination is based upon the oxidizing action of nitric acid and potassium dichromate and the reducing action of stannous chloride. The oxidizing action of nitric acid ciepends upon the reduction of nitro gen. Nitric oxide is commonly form ed, but often other products such as nitrogen peroxide, nitrous oxide, ni trogen, and even ammonia, are pro- dijced. In nitric acid, the nitrogen atom has five positive electric charg es residing upon it. When it is re duced to nitric oxide, it has only positive charges, the nitrogen hav ing accepted three electrons. The oxidizing action of potassium dichromate depends upon the forma tion of trivalent chromic ions. In potassium dichromate the chromium atom has a positive valence of six, so that for each atom of chromium tne reduction corresponds to a loss of three positive charges, or a gain of three electrons. Stannous chloride was used as s reducing agent in this determination because reduction with stannous chloride is greatly induced in acid solutions. The reduction depends upon the fact that stannous ions are readily changed to stannic ions. In this determination the stannous ions brought about the reduction of man ganic ions to manganous ions and resulted in the precipitation of man ganese as manganous chloride as evi dent by a bluish green color. The determination of manganese is of great importance to food chem- ir.ts because of the influence which ii'anganese has on the utilization of iron in the body. EFFORT COUNTS Someone has said that effort counts, and I am prone to agree Because no matter how hard the task trying will help, you see. One gets nowhere by sitting around dreading things that must be done There must be work and unfailing work, before the battle’s won. Effort counts, yes! Oh, ’tis true, but there must be a goal in mind Toward which one strives unceas ingly, and thus, success he’ll find. In such moments one should always think of the pleasure that will come When he has stuck right to the task until it is Well Done. —Mildred B. Harris. The biggest difficulty in getting a ; job done in art is in finding an idea, j That, of course, is m.y personal opin ion. Ideas aren’t that hard to find, but they’re hard to feel; and to do a good job in art, the idea must be felt. In preparing for my recent class assignment in crafts, I went to the library to look at various designs. First, flower designs held my inter est, and I started to work on one, bu. just couldn’t get myself into it. I felt dissatisfied so I went back to the re source materials for something dif ferent. For a long time nothing at tracted my attention. I gave up the search. Returning to my dormitory I went into a friend’s room to chat away liiy disappointment and boredom. I happened to look at her cleansing tissue box on which was the picture of an adorable little fawn. I knew then I had found what I wanted. I left immediately for my room and worked the remainder of the evening on that fawn as the subject for my I'.naleum blueprint. The following morning, my in- ttructor approved my selection and gave me many helpful suggestions. I really enjoyed the assignment and am proud of the success I had with it —Marie Hailey. A. AND T.
