Page Four. THE SALEMITL Friday, February 13, 1942. 9 ^eaAjd 9t ^lUi Wcuf.... Before we stack these last few ghastly weeks up with our less unpleasant memories, let’s just drag them out for one final airing . . . after all, they can’t hurt us now. Most all of us seem to have emerged from exams without too many calamities. There were no break-downs, no suicides, no murders to speak of. There; were, however, at least three gooc examples to be cited in fav()r of abolishing examinations: the positive bags under the eyes of 1) Doris Nebel and 2) Grace Frank Kilby . . . and the appearance and dispositions in general of 3) Ceil Nuchols. And while we’re holding post-mortems, we might as well ask if anybody has ever seen the likes of the resultant grades . . . honestly, we didn’t even know that SOME of those letters were in the alphabet! Between-semesters week-end served as a period of great cele bration . . . more bags and head-aches and run-down conditions were accumulated. Poling back to registration was naturally an ordeal . . . rooting through the catalog, not necessarily for enlightening courses . . . haggling with advisors about the ad vantages of switching to a psychology major . . . and finally working out a perfectly beautiful schedule whereby we coulc sleep until ten o’clock during the week and all day Saturday, only to have somebody turn everything up-side-down and give us four Saturday classes and an eight-thirty every other morn ing! It’s wonderful 1 Then came another week-end with a few people sojourning to Davidson Mid-Winters and the rest of the people being perfect ly content with Salem Mid-Winters. It was all gaity and fun . . . even being hoarded in by glaring deans at twelve-fifteen. Now we can look forward to another week-end or so be fore we have to settle down to the education at hand. After Carolina Mid-Winters and Law-Meds, we’ll have six-weeks and term papers . . . then we’ll have May Day and exams . . . and then it’ll all be over. Speaking of things getting over with reminds us of this column, but may we first state ourselves, on this new war time business. Frankly, it seems to us one of the greater evils of the world. Here we fall out of bed in the middle of the night, feel around for a flash-light with which to lead our bodies to break fast, eat some cereal, stumble down to the gym, become deathly nauseated, and wish to God that we could die . . . all before the sun has creaked up on tTie horizon! Does anybody have any ideas about just what it is that we’re trying to save? But it doesn’t help to know that we don’t have to go to bed before the sun gets down . . . thanks so much, Stee Gee, for the light-«ut regulations. RADIO PROGRAM Saturday 2: - 5:00 P.

It was the last time' Charlie served in our house and I know now that he was in pain during the evening. But after the dinner was over, he said to me as he so often did, “They were fine girls tonight and they seemed to be having a mighty good time.” As our guests came to the table. Dr. Rondthaler suggested that we sing the blessing. When we were seated afterwards, Dr. Rondthaler said, “Well, the per.son who has the best voice in the room, didn’t sing,” and ho looked at Charlie, who broke into one of his quick brilliant smiles. On Saturday morning two weeks ago he came to work, but Mr. Ellis had to take him home in a car; and the campus never heard Char lie’s whistle again. We got him to There is only one way to fail. One must will to do it. If you will to succeed, the battle is half won.

Later in the after noon I went out and even tho it had developed that the real trouble was with his heart and he was so un comfortable, he greeted me with one of his sudden lighted-up smiles. “Charlie,” I said, “we love you and want you to get well; so many peo ple on the campus are anxious about you.” “Yes,” he said, “I have tho faith that the Lord will get me well if he wants me to.” We talked a little more and as I left him he said, “I’m fine.” That was our last talk for he passed away that morn ing early. Last Sunday we laid him to rest on Happy Hill. It was a bright and sunny day and the little church of St. Andrews was packed and jam med with many white people and hundreds and hundreds of colored friends. Charlie had told Ida long ago that he wanted lots of singing at his fun eral,” for he loved singing even more that he did preaching, altho he loved both.” He was a sweet voiced singer and belonged to many organizations of men’s voices. All these glee clubs and choirs sang in the little church and it was beau tiful and touching. Dr. Rondthaler spoke of his love and friendship for Charlie, of his trustworthiness, his utter dependability, his sense of re sponsibility (and his spiritual in sight. And the colored preachers spoke. There will never, can never be another Charlie on Salem cam pus. He was dean of all tho helpers on both campuses. In all campus crises he gave sound and sane ad vice. And so it has been thru aU the years, thirty-five of them since Charlie came to Salem campus.
