I end my h as Freshman Feelings re- It has been fun snoop- L around finding the latest 7ws ideas, and escapades of dear class. Perhaps toes haven’t been stepped on too in this block of type, if ” it was all done m good na ture Granted, many feelings round campus have not been expressed in print because of the time elements involved m publishing a college paper. My apologies for the unintention ally neglected events. For my last column I would like to pay tribute to those in the class or associated with the students that have made out standing (?) a c complishments this year. Hats off to The Spring Fling hula boys fwhich included those gorgeous creatures named Bill Abrams, Bob Zeh, Preston Stone, Rich ard McCord, and Ernest Bad- Oui peppy, loyal cheerlead- ;rs. Albemarle Dormitory’s slave girls who seemed to be talent ed in every field. Freshman class officers and housemothers. Lonnie Mann for having en ough courage to wear his or ange suede shoes. All the freshmen who made our Spring Fling week end a huge success. Dr. Price Gwynn, the cru sader in education, who has endeared himself to everyone at St. Andrews. Our most honorable C and C team (and that doesn’t stand for crip course either!) All the freshmen managing to live through A.P. or house arrest. The Orange boys that have succeeded in dating at least one freshman lass. Students able to keep all ten of their merits and to those who haven’t gone completely berserk during closed study. The final salute goes to all the freshmen that are becom ing SOPHOMORES.

PAGE THREE DR. THOR JOHNSON Conservatory Comments By TOM FARINHOLT A program of ‘‘dollars for scholars” started in Fall River, Mass., is helping thousands of students through college. It is supported by private contribu tions, makes small grants to needy and deserving students. Founded by the Citizens’ Schol arship Foundation of America in 1958, the program will have an estimated 100 chapters in 30 states by next June and will award some 1500 scholarships with a total cash value of $750,000. Recent tests indicate that mo tivation plays a large part in fatigue. Volunteers who stayed awake for 72 hours at a time became terribly tired at 70 hours as the sleepless period was drawing to a close. But when the test ran 96 hours they did not become tired until 94 hours had elapsed. The fig ures indicate that the will to finish the test played a role in staving off fatigue until the final sleepless hours. More Aboui ‘Fling’ Weekend metry and proportion. The en tire evening was wonderfully pleasant and fresh as the cou ples danced to the music of Billy May and his orchestra. For a wonderful week end to close is always sad.^ Yet, the Spring Fling ended in such a nice way with the Campus Cof fee on Sunday that there could The final student recital last Wednesday was one of great variety in choice of com posers and solo instruments. The composer ranged from Bach (1685-1750) to Vieme (1870-1937) and even to 1962 with the performance of a So nata by the composer, Margar et Ann Martin. Marg'aret Ann Martin dem onstrated her ability at com position by instilling a very melodious center section which seemed to be interrupted all too soon by a thundering end ing. This year Margaret Ann proved her potential in both performance and composition. Piano solos were performed by Sun Boke Hong, Linda Ann Jones, Lois Lance, Robert Mur phy, and Diamie Kearns. There were two trombone solos by Gerald Temple and Charles Quick. Julia Clendenin performed the only organ solo and Tom Vinson the only string bass so lo. The two soprano solos for the recital were sung by Bar bara Moon and Mary Elizabeth Cobb. The variety of talent and compositions proved a very apt ending .to a fine series of after noon recitals. It seems almost impossible to recap in the few remaining hardly be a let down. All who attended it enjoyed the friend ly atmosphere. A simple thank you is not enough for the stu dents to give to the three cam pus associations, SGA, AA, and SOB, responsible for the Spring Fling and to the many people who helped make the week end a success. It is true that there will be much reminicing about Saint Andrews Spring-Fling, 1962, The gay moments and perhaps the romantic moments will be remembered through the sum mer months. Maybe the sen iors desired to halt time for awhile, but the week end did pass as all good things must for awhile. Significant for Saint Andrews is that this week end was a tremendous beginning for a tradition. paragraphs the exciting year we have all experienced with the Conservatory on campus. The Concert Series got off to a slow start with the appear ance of the ballerina, Svetlova but closed with an outstanding concert by John Browning who came, performed, and conquer ed the hearts of all. The excitement of Mr. Brown ings appearance in Conserva tory classes the day following his recital will remain in the minds of piano students for a long time. Let us not forget the violin concert by Aaron Rosand, which almost turned into a du et with the magnificent piano accompaniments of Eileen Flis- sler. The Curtis String Quar tet proved their expertness in the performance of chamber music, topping their evening with a beautiful performance of the Ravel Quartet in F Ma jor. We will remember the excite- m.ent of “papa” John Williams at the arrival of his new baby, the Schantz pipe organ. Aimez-vous Beethoven? The Conservatory isn’t the only place to find Beethoven, he was also present at the Mecklen burg Bar-B-Q. Schroeder may forget Beethoven’s birthday but Margaret Ann and Elaine could never forget with their Beetho ven sweat shirts as a constant reminder. Other musical moments in clude the Band Concert, Band Clinic, choral concert, per formances of the “Messiah,” Faculty recitals and many oth er musical events made our year complete. A note of incompleteness will reign in the hearts of many voice students next year when Miss Annieless Schotoer fails to return to the conservatory fac ulty. Wedding bells will ring out for our golden throated “Rossignol” on June 16. How do you close a year such as we have experienced. Do you say “job well done” or just remain silent and cherish these fond memories of our first musical year at St. An drews?
