The irises and the jonquils will push up ill the garden, and the birds will return to the cedar grove, just as they did when George Washington was a little boy there, more than two hundred years ago. ft was at Wakefield, in 1732, that the boy Washington was born. Al though he lived there for only a few years, to many Americans the very ground is hallowed, sacred to the memory of a great man. One hears little of Wakefield, in comparison to ^fount Vernon, but it is nevertheless an important American .shrine. The original house no longer stands, but the building which has recently been erected to replace it stands in the self-same spot. The present Wakefield house w'as archi tecturally constructed to be almost the exact counterpart of the old house, which burned many years ago. Tt is a delightful spot. The Potomac rounds the bond, and comes- almost to the very door, bringing with it !i sea-breeze, which blows through the wide hall. February the twenty-second, the birthday of our ow'n Washington. Wakefield will remember him. BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Agnes Brown Adv.

Mgr Mary Ruth Elliot WHAT DO STUDENTS THINK ABOUT THE HAUPTMANN CASE? The students lieri' had maintained :in interest in the Hauptmann trial for the first few weeks of its dura tion, but then their interest began to wane, and no one talked of the trial any more. On last Wednesday morn ing, however, when Dr. Ansconibe explained to us some of the legalities of the case, every member of the stu dent body again became alort for news from the N'ew .lersy courtroom. Wlint had become a seeniingly drawn-out affair held for us once more an absorbing interest and we licgan to rciili/.e that a man’s life was really hung on a verv slender thread of evidence. When the news fhishel over the n,-it ion of the jury’s verdict of “guilty," not a one of us was glad. There has not yet been voiced tiy any of the students the belief that the verdict is entirely fair. Every- nne seenis to (picstion the fact that he should be sentenced to die on cir cumstantial evidence. Certainly he is inv(dved; there is no doubt of that, but is he guilty of 1st degree murder? Perhaps we are all ignor ant of a good many important facts, but it seems to us a rather awful thing to electrocute a man only on circumstantial evidence. We aren’t taking such a stand because we arc soft hearted girls, and because we wouldn’t want anyone to go to the chair. It isn’t that at all. We would want to see the murderer of the Lindbergh baby meet his death—as much as anyoiu' would, but we feel that if the prisoner has not been ac tually ]>roved a murderer, it is taking a little too much for granted to let him die for the murder. It would be pretty horrible twenty years from now to have someone con fess to the murder—after this man had died for it. The doubt remains in our minds, and w'ill remain until either the pris oner or some other person is proved guilty. Can anyone be sure that'he did it? We wonder. BABY BEST IS BEST BABY (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) had only one mistake on their papers for guessing the most babies correct ly. Miss .(ane Williums was the lucky person and received with Miss Best' an attractive baby doll daintly dressed. The spectutor.s were very inter ested to find out that Mr. Campbell and Mr, \ardell both had long curls at one time. Mavis Bullock looked like a true sissy with her sun bon net and flower. Can you picture Mary Penn any smaller or any cuter then she is now? You .should have seen Betty Tuttle in her dainty pink and blue dress and hat. U^lda’s Ifarold and Mariana’s Herbie were added attractions whose names were pinned on them. At nine o’clock the prizes were awarded. By pojixilar request the gallery remained open Saturday morning. Everyone who saw it ac claimed it to be a great success. The exhibit was siionsored by the ^fay Day Committee. THE PSYCHOLOGY CIUB'MEETS Dr.. Goddard Speaks The I’.sychology 'lub held its Peb- iiiary meeting at 7:00 o’clock on I'ebruary 12, 193n, in the Recreation Ifooin of Louisa Wilson Bitting liuilding. Br. .lames Ooddard, from Duke University was the speaker for the evening, his .subject being “The l.aw of Chance in Tfuman Behav ior.’’ His talk was most interest ing and those who attended the meet ings both students and interested friends in the city, enjoyed it very much.

W'hat power Harry must have over Pat to make her think of him even while she w'as in Charlotte at the David.son dances! Alartha Neal said she was going to Salisbury to show her mother the knitting—but we wonder why she packed her new gownand wrap! Forewarned is forearmed! Ann Taylor wore her slicker instead of her i>olo coat when she left for Mor- ganton Friday afternoon. Can she forecast the weather for graduation? Fanny Hill Norris went to Greens boro and since Alan was there we know she didn’t see her friends at W. C. U. N. C. very often—did you Fannv Hill? Cokey sailed forth to Chapel Hill. A wedding last week-end, a prom this week-end—little girl what ne-\t? That call Babbie Way was expect ing must not have been important for she left Sunday afternoon to visit Mrs. Harrison and we know she wasn’t expecting a call from Mrs. Harrison. The j>ast will find you out, Jane, in some form or another—so do be nice to Johnny Hines for you have many years ahead of you (we lioive). Josie Chase sure must be getting some good food now that Jack ShafE- ner has come into her life. What on earth?—has Salem be come bicycle conscioiis as well as skate con.scious? Margaret Ward and Rachel Carroll have taken up the art or rather the art has taken them up. in case you are all interested—the perfume Sara Clancy is wafting about is Alae West’s “Come up and see me sometime.” Just one whiff is enough to make you turn up your heels and run—ask Emma I). DAY STUDENT TATTLER If you noticed sleepy eyes and that “Where am 1?” look on the faces of many day students Monday morning, you may be sure that a hec tic week-end was had by all. I’eggy Brawley and Mary Louise Haywood went down to Carolina for Mid-winters. Kay Kyser, Carolina lad who made good, and his orches tra played for the dance, making everything practically |>erfect. 'I'hose spending the week-end at Duke were Anna Wray Fogle, Mir- iiini Sams, and Nancy Schallert. All three report “It was swell!” What is “it”? Margaret Kose, Ruth Xormiin, and .lane Xading attended the Sophomore I’rom at State last week. Marion Mitchell, however, was visited by a friend from State, who ’tis said), comes to Winston-Salem almost every week to see his “one and only.” (jeraldine Mitchell also seems to prefer the out of town va riety. A Lexington lad seems to be in the siHitlight now! Two dances were held in town dur ing the week, one at Twin-City Club and another at the Robert E. Lee Hotel Saturday night. Phyliss Cla])p was seen at both. Do you wonder at her drowsiness on Monday morning? The little dining room, as if it were grateful for its new coat of jiaint and paper, has become a more jirosperous business within the last few weeks. June Morris and Re becca Hines are seen running back and forth from kitchen to dining room with delicious salads and plates of sandwi -hes for waiting cus tomers. Everyime hopes the good business keeps up! INS AND OUTS OF SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN Salem was well represented at Chapel Hill this week-end. There is a great attraction for mid-winter, for Mary Woodruff, Mary Louise Hay wood and Peggy Brawley dashed over to Chapel Hill while Margaret Calder, to be different, went to Dav idson. Ask Lou Preas and “Tick” Fraley why they didn't take those bids up. But Mid-W'inters weren’t the sole attractions for Helen Hodge, Carrow and Idaliza Dunn went over to Kinston to see if the home town had undergone any changes during their absences. Ethel Ilighsmith and Lou Free man spent Sunday with Cornelia Alaslin. Frances Cole had her friend Betty Sowell from Charlotte to see her for the week-end. Beverly Little went with her “Tom” to the tea dances at Chapel Hill. Was it warm enough with out a coat “Tee”? Lois and Libby Torrence were the dinner gue.sts Sunday of Mary Louise Shore. Ifargaret Briggs had her little sis ter, Mary Sue and her friend over for the week-end Watch out “Briggsie” she’s a big girl now! (A\'e mean the little sister of course). Katherine Jlay’s mother came up Saturday afternoon and took Kath erine to Burlington for the week end. Bonnie .lean Shore drove to Statesville with her parents Sunday. olia Williams, “Tweak” Sample and Mary Louise McClung went rid ing Sunday afternoon with Anna Leak Scott. Louise York, ,Io.
