Whose waves are years, Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe Are brackish with the salt of human tears! Thou shoreless flood, which in they ebb and flow Claspest the limits of mortality! And sick of prey, yet howling on for more, Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore; Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm. Who shall put forth on thee, Unfathomable Sea? —Shelley. TO THE MOON Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth — And even changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy? —Shelley. LOVE’S PHILOSOPHY The Fountains mingle with the River And the Rivers with the Ocean, The winds of Heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle — Why not I with thine? S a 3 See the mountains kiss high heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother. And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea; What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me? —Shelley. *uiaiwniuiuouininiiiiniuiiiiumaiiuninii)anniiiiiiiic]iiiiiiiiiiHamMiiniiiniiiiiiiiiiiintimmniiaiiiiiiuniiaiuinniiHco DEWEY WILKINSON SPONSORED BY HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Interesting Demonstration Presented Wednesday night, April 27, the Katherine J.

DR. ELIZABETH DUFFY SPEAKS TO PSY CHOLOGY CLUB Discusses New Idea of Elinotions Speaking on “What is Emotionf” to the Psychology Club, Tuesday night Dr. Elizabeth Duffy of Wom en’s College of University of North Carolina, said she believed that emo tion was not a certain individual state but rather a more intense de gree of normal bodily activity. “Emotion,” she said, “is a lay man’s term taken over and roughly used by psychologists to desigfnate disorganized activity.” According to Cannon’s Emergency Theory of Emotions, the secretion of adrenalin produces a highly ener gized and tense condiiton following up this theory psychologists have tried to measure the activity of the sympathetic nervous system through a measurement of the psyehologol- vania reflex. Dr. Dufify, however, finding that this occurred at times other than when the individual was in an emo tional state began to measure mus cular tension to test emotion. She discovered the same thing to be true in the new test. Thus she arrived at her theory that emotion does not represent a difference in response but instead o difference in degree. People are tense whenever they make an effort. It is merely when we are asleep our muscular tension is closest to the zero point if we dream it increases. A mental image causes muscular tension. The more difficult a problem to be solved the more ten sion. An electric shock has been proved to cause more pain when individual is in a tense condition than when he is relaxed. Nervous or tense people are more sensitive to the stimuli around them. This makes a vicious circle which might lead toward a nervous breakdown. The use of mus cular relaxation is good therapeutic treatment. In tests made in a nursery school Dr. Duffy discovered that some chil dren were much more tense than oth ers and these same also showed ten dencies toward excitability, impul siveness, and impatience. Thus she believes tense people to be more emotional and overreactive to both physical and social stimuli. Chapel Straggle-inners, Giggling sinners, Ancient of days.

Blair gave an unusual and interesting lecture on the American poet, Longfellow — the Longfellow not found in books. Col onel Blair said that he felt his sub ject to be in keeping with the study of New England poets made at Salem this year. As a boy at Harvard he often came in contact with these poets and made many visits to their homes. Among these was Longfellow, and, admitting that he was “ramb ling,” Colonel Blair presented the personal appearance of this man “whom everyone loved.” As to his physical appearance, he was well built, wore a full beard, and was quite particular about his dress—and incidentally about every thing around the house. He possessed modest dignity and was not easily approached by strangers; but to his friends he was always delightful. A most kindhearted man, he was popu lar as a playmate for children, and they always ran to him when they cut their fingers. Besides .being a friend, poet, and teacher, he was a good musician — intensely interest ed in music — and loved flowers, grass, and trees. After summing up Longfellow’s personal charcateristics, Colonel Blair told of the origin of some of his poems. He called attention to tha| fact that the jingle “There was a little girl who had a little curl” is not a Mother Goose rhyme as the majority of us think, but a verse written by Longfellow for his daugh ter Aelegra. He told of the origin, of “Evangeline,” taken from a true story told to Hawthorne and the chance hearing of the name of an Indian Hiawatha. He told of “Ex celsior,” a word found on a scrap of paper which Longfellow picked up and which so intrigued him that he picked up a letter from his desk and wrote his famous poem on the back. After telling the origin of other poems and giving quotations from some. Colonel Blair concluded the hour with several enlightening anec dotes and stories told about and by Longfellow. MONTALDO’S DEBUTANTE SHOP COMMENCEMENT FROCKS Tailored White Dresses Pastel Afternoon Frocks Dinner And Evening Gowns SALEM GIRLS RUSH MAKING OF COSTUMES Greek mode costumes to be worn in the May Day pageant at Salem College May 7 have been designed and made in the home economics laboratory of the college. In this busy workshop last-minute details are being finished in preparation for dress rehearsals early next week. Miss Charlotte King, of Taunton, Mass., chairman of the costume com mittee, is also president of the Home Economics Club. She suggested that this group do the “creations” and the five-member committee has since had the co-operation of approxi mately 40 club members. The costumes were designed and advanced plans made. Then the deft fingers went into action and ma chines began to hum as actual work got under way. More than thirty complete outfits have been practi cally finished. Use Brilliant Ciolors Delving into records to learn what the Greeks wore the girls found the clothes were made of materials in pastel shades. That was because of the limited color of dyes that could be produced from herbs and plants. Modern science now provides bril liant colors, so these are to be used. Miss King says, “We are going to have royal purple, bright blues, dashing reds, and white, but none of the pale pinks or lavender shades. ” This committee has been collabo rating with Margaret Briggs, of High Point, who wrote the pageant.
