Hewett-Holden
Vows Are Siioken
Wedding bells have rung again
and this time for a member of
the Junior class. Miss Pauline
Holden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
L. Edger Holden of Shallotte, be
came the bride of Mr. Emery
Hewett, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. G.
Hewett also of Shallotte, in a can
dlelight ceremony on Saturday,
December 20, at five-thirty in Ae
afternoon. The simple double ring
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Weston Vamum, former
pastor of the bride, at the Gospel
Center Baptist Church before a
background of white gladioli and
greenery.
For her wedding the bride wore
a lovely ballerina length dress
of lace over taffeta with a sweet
heart neckline, fitted bodice, and
long sleeves tapefed at the wrists.
She carried a lace-covered pray
er book topped with an orchid
which was showered with streams
of tuberoses and satin ribbons.
Her fingertip veil of bridal illus
ion fell from a coronet of lace
and satin. The couple entered the
church together.
A program of wedding music
was presented by her sister. Miss
Frances Holden, as pianist and
Mrs. Aileen Robinson as soloist.
The bride chose as her only at
tendant her sister. Miss Irene
Holden, to serve as maid of hon
or. She chose to wear a rose dress
of lace over taffeta with matching
headpiece and shoes. She carried
a bouquet of longnstemmed, white
carnations.
Serving as ushers were Walker
Douglas and Kenneth Hewett.
Immediately following the cere
mony, the newlyweds left on a
wedding trip to Myrtle Beach. For
Kathy King are the threle seniors
receiving diamonds. Peggy was
given one by George Manders,
of Mobile, Alabama, on Christ
mas Eve night and says she was
halfway expecting it. She “ad
vises everyone to become en
gaged because it’s really wonder
ful.” She hopes to be married
this summer. Lois became the
fiancee of Donald Morris, a sen
ior at State College, quite unex
pectedly on Christmas Eve night.
Her comment as to the nature of
the event: “it’s real thrilling, ev
en more so than getting pinned!”
Plans are for a summer wedding.
Kathy’s diamond came as a real
surprise at four o’clock in the
morning of Christmas Day while
she and her fiance’, Jim Pugh of
Virginia, were playing Santa
Claus. She will receive the other
band of gold in June.
No juiniors received diamonds,
but three sophomores returned
with the third finger of their left
hand having an added attraction.
These were Jane Lowe, Sylvia
West, and Janis Paige. Jane re
ceived hers on December 23, the
day that he bought it, because
he couldn’t wait till Christmas
Trip To New York
by Ann McLeod
We think w© had an exciting
holiday! Suppose one of us could
have kept this diary.
Friday— I boarded* the train
at four o’clock for Montclair, New
Jersey.
Satxu'day— I went to the Great
er New York Girl Scout Division
Office to talk about camping and
juivenile delinquency in New York.
Sunday— I visited in Winstad,
Connecticut.
Monday— I viewed several
points of interest, but didn’t enter
many of them. I did go in the
Riverside Church on the Hudson
River Parkway and St. Patrick’s
Cathedral. Tonight I attended the
reunion held at Herald-Tribune
Building for the 150 counselors
with whom I worked last sunMner
and am spending the night in
Theshing, New York.
Tuesday— I went to Camp An
die at Pleasantville, New York.
I’m spending the night at the
live in the slums of New York
City. The camp is out in the woods
and will accommodate 216 child
ren at one time. The campers are
there for two weeks of outdoor
recreation and direct contact with
nature.
Shirley’s job as assistant di
rector will be somewhat different
from her ^ job last summer. She
will serve as an instructor for
the counselors. She’ll have charge
of pre-camp, and then, it will be
her duty to help the director see
that everything runs smoothly and
that, the work goes on as plan
ned. This work wiU be quite dif
ferent from her week during the
holidays, also.
The experience Shirley wiU gain
here in dealing with a different
type of people will be valuable
to her when she goes into her
church work. Seeing the children,
talking to them, and working and
playing with them wiU give her
a better understanding of their
problems and their possibilities.
Deep Concern
by Ann McLeod
Since there are only a few more
studying days before exams, it’s
about time that the Advisory Com
mittee on Students’preparation for
Examination Week of the Higher
Advisory Board of Students’ Learn

be motivated to put into circula
tion its “Advice for This Semes-

my family.” Afterwards, she did
and they were happy about it,
except for her little sister who
refused to speak to her for two
days. She and her fiance’, Fount
Odom of Charlotte, have tent
ative plans for June 1960. Sylvia
West was not really expecting
hers untU February or March.
Janis Paige was halfway expect

Carol Huguelet and Phyllis Gold

who came back with diamonds.
Phyllis says she has been expect

Engagements
by Marion Davis
The Christmas holidays passed
with a bang and sent back to us
several girls with flashing dia
monds. Then there’s always a
week of “oohs” and “ahs” as
those less fortunate share with
the lucky few in their excitement.
Since getting a diamond is not
just one of thosie everyday things,
these girls are going to share
something of the event of their
engagement.
Peggy Cole, Lois Barrow, and
became engaged on Christmas
Eve night, and the setting for
it in her own words was “just
perfect, everything went off fine.”
Carol really had a lot of waiting
for her when she got out of
classes on Saturday beginning the
holidays. Her friend who is sta
tioned with the Air Force in Ger
many, was home and waiting for
her. Furthermore, she was pre
sented an expected diamond before
they left Red Springs. Soon after
this article was written and hand
ed to the editor, Carol’s marriage
was announced. Congratulations!
Carol.
Nov; a word about two other
girls who received diamonds just
a.little prior to Christmas. They
were Betty Jane Sullivan and Lou
ise Brisson. Betty Jane’s fiance’
is from Red Springs, and Louise’s
is from Charlotte. Good luck to
these girls and even more to those
who stiU wait and wonder!
Conservatory Notes
by Carroll Shoemaker
and Joanne Ross
to August 19. This afternoon I
went to Radio City and saw a
stage show— “Aimtie Mame” by
the Rockettes. I’m spending to
night in Montclair, New Jersey.
Friday— I went to the observa
tion tower on the seventieth floor
of the Rockefeller Center. I ate
lunch at the English Grill and
watched an ice skate in the Plaza.
I caught the train to Fayetteville
at 1:55.
Sounds like a fuU week, doesn’t
it? One of us really experienced
the trip. During the Christmas
holidays Shirley Thomas went to
New York and made definite plans
for her summer.
Camp Anita-Bliss is a camp for
underprivileged children between
the ages of six and sixteen who
er. Upon Beethoven’s introduction
to the great Mozart, Mozart asked
him to play, but thinking that his
performance was a prepared piece
paid little attention to it. Bee
thoven seeing this entreated Mo
zart to give him a subject, which
he did, and the boy played so
well that Mozart, stepping soft
ly into the next room, said to
his friends, “Pay attention to
him; he will make a great noise
in the world some day or other.”
Beethoven was meanly dressed
and very ugly to look at, but
full of nobility, fine feeling, and
highly cultivated. The year 1798
marks the beginning of his be-

Higher Advisory Board took a final
vote with the Advisory Committee
awaiting the verdict outside the
door. The vote was unanimously
in favor of the “Advice for This
Semester” so the Advisory Com
mittee was allowed to return to
the Consultation and Decision
Chamber of the Higher Advisory
Board of Students’ Learning Pro
cedure in General to receive their
Great Service to the Higher Ad
visory Board Awards. This is the
first Advisory Committee on Stu
dents’ Preparation for Examina
tion Wedc ever to attain such hon
or. The vote has never before
been unanimously in favor of the
“Advice for This Semester.”
To show their deep appreciation
for this fine “Advice for This Se
mester,” the Higher Advisory
Board of Students’ Learning Pro
cedure in General felt that they
should recognize this great ac
complishment in some tangible
way. They felt that expressing
their gratitude in mere words
would be entirely insufficient for
such a great contribution to stu
dents. The Higher Advisory Board
after hours of consideration on the
matter arrived at a marvelous
solution to the problem at hand.
The “Advice for This Semester”
is being prepared as a bound book
to be placed in the hands of all
students upon their registering for
classes. This action will be ef
fective next year.
The Higher Advisory Board an
ticipates anxiously the arrival of
the first shipment of the "Advice
for This Semester.” Their deepest
concern at the present is the mis
fortune that they may not arrive
before the semester examinations
which will begin on January 21.
The Higher Advisory Board fears
that students may wait until too
late to begin their preparation for
examinations if they do not re
ceive their “Advice for This Se
mester.” It is hoped that this ca
tastrophe will not result, so aU
students are asked to please real
ize that preparations may be
extremely difficult without this
student aid. That is why they are
asking for early preparation.
Ludwig Van Beethoven was born
in Bonn, Germany probably on
December 16, 1770. He began the
study of music at four years old
with his father as his first teach-

choice between truth and re-

you can never have both.
