THE MAN
(Continued F'rom Page One)
took him to the library and his first
act, after complaining because
neither of his two books was on
display, was to swipe a quarter from
Patricia W,oltz — and he swore he
didn’t give it back!
He’s the most enthusiastic man wy
ever met. He wanted to see every-,
thing and to know .al^ about every
thing. He was amazed at the size
of. the big sycamore down in the
Dell, and wanted to know if there
were any larger trees in the state.
We had him convinced, until Cas
serole put in her two cents. “Why,”
exclaimed Miss Casserole, “Indian
Oak near Windsor is twice that
big.” The question was settled.
Mr. Cousins said that he could ap
preciate our old buildings and an
tiques, because his mother is an in
terior decorator. He had a wonder
ful time looking at the old text
books in Main Hall’s reception
room.
One of his main interests seems to
be the organ. We were walking to
ward the grave yard when we
heard the peal of an organ from
Memorial Hall. Then suddenly, we
noticed that our guest was no long
er with us. When we turned around,
we found him being lured toward
the side door of the auditorium. By
the time we g6t inside, Mr. Cousins
was leaning over the organist’s
shoulder punching buttons. She
gently gave way, and Mr. Cousins
assumed the helm for some real
barbershop harmony — from “The
Sidewalks of New York” to “Hun
garian Dance No. 2” — and he was-
n’t bad at all!
Finally, we dragged him away
from the organ and up to the eeme-
tary; he talked, however, about or
gans the whole way; so we surren
dered and took him to peer at the
old organ between Main Hall and
the Church. He was intrigued; but
we couldn’t find out what made the
thing tick, and it was time for him
to go back to the hotel anyway. The
last of the organ episode was that
Mr. Snavely planned to send the old
organ instead of a regular lecture
fee.
After the lecture, Mr. Cousins
piled in a car. and headed for the
station to catch his train. He had
in his pocket seven cents — Noth
ing more! (Maybe he bought ciga
rettes with the rest of the library
quarter.) Everyone was quite con
cerned — except Mr. Cousins —
for ther^ were only ten minutes be
fore train time and with only seven
cents — well, finally, a fortune was
amassed — just big enough to buy
a ticket and to tip the porter. Mr.
Cousins was having a wonderful
time.
Norman Cousins is handsome, en
tertaining, and stimulating. Once
you’ve met him, you feel that you
ARE YOU HOARDING ..
SUGAR, LADY?
Mary L, Glidewcll
About this sugar rationing — tho
most graphic thing I could say
about it, f guess, is that one ’ cer
tainly meets the most uiiiisual pco-
j>le.
For instance, there wa^ Princess
Rose .lane C—. The Princess, be-
foie she had finis^(>d registering,
had given me t'hat inside glimpse
into her private life, which 1 am
sure few people have enjoyed. ' It
seems that Winston-Sialem en toto
knows her. She can charge things
at Montgomery Ward and at Sears-
Roebuck. Besides these interesting
little tidbits, I dragged from her
the fact that she has paid for two
cars. She found my j>en to be one
of the worst she had ever used,
swore she did riot have grey hair,
and 'told me that she “knew damm
weir her eyes were green.”
Well, as one may see, the frin-
cess was quite a character — but
she couldn’t touch Early J—. Early
called me me “Girlie,” and made
me want to educate the masses. Aft-
6r signing his name laboriously, he
announced in proud tones that “he
never went to no school; he just
picked up writing.” When he left
he took my heart with him — and
I ain’t just kiddin’. Early wars
sweet.
Moses Lewis had a wife with
brown eyes and black hair, “she
was dark completed and had two
pounds of sugar.” Moses ’lowed as
how he couldn’t read; and ^hen I
read him the criminal code, his sole
remark was, “Lawd God, Lady, I
got six pounds.”
I could delve into many case his
tories such as Minnie Bright who
was 4’5” and had a son who was
“reeeel” tall — about .V; but why
deny it — certainly the most iil-
teresting episode of all was that
tall blond child named Bill. When
1 had questioAed him in the regu
lar manner and found that he was 6’
2”, weighed 185 pounds, and had
blua eyes; I asked him right proper
like if he had any sugar. I guess
some people must regard sugar in '
different light from that of the gov
ernment . . . his answer was: “Hon
ey’ just) what do you thinkt”
PICNICS HERE
AND THERE
The fireplace on the hill served as
the scene for the Latin Club’s pic
nic this year instead of the usual
trip to the Yadkin River. The mem
bers and two sponsors. Dr. Smith
and Miss Hixson, met at five o’clock
on Wednesday afternoon, May 13.
Refreshments were furnished by the
members and traditional “Porci in
Vestibus” (Pigs in Blankets) were
served.
Members of the Home Economics
Club accompanied by Mrs. Meinung,
Miss Crow, and Mrs. Ball climbed
into a truck for a hayride to the
Yadkin R,iver, on F^'iday afternoon
at five o’clock., The club held a
picnic at, the farm of Mrs., Mein-
ung’s sister, Mrs. Griffith. Club
members, were warned,.to look out
for the swan oh the farm, “Oak-
mere,” near the river. An outstand
ing item on the menu was’ ham.

modern numbers, “Could I forget?”
by Chretien; “Jeune fillette” by
Dalayrac; “To a Young Gentle
man” by Carpenter, and “Shep
herd! thy demeanour vary” by
Brown. These numbers were char
acterized by charming interpreta
tion and contrasts. Johnsie display
ed her lyric voice to excellent advan
tage, and made an equally lovely
and attractive appearance.
Assisting on the program was
Elizalwth .Johnston, junior piano
major from W^inston-Salem. For
her first group Elizabeth played the
Chopin “Impromptu in F sharp
major. Op. 36.” She displayed a
lovely tone quality, and performed
with ease and poise. Her second
group opened with the quiet but
difficult “Intermezzo, Op. 117, No.
1,” by Brahms. The lovely inner
melody was emphasized with due
clarity and wi.th skill, the quiet
mood maintained throughout. The
last number of the group was the
colorful and modernistic “Etude in
C minor. Op. 2, No. 4” by Proko-
fieff, which was enthusiastically re
ceived by the audience.
Miss Laura Emily Pitts provided
excellent accompaniments and did
an exceptionally good job in trans
posing two of the numbers.
The recital was a fitting climax
to this year’s graduation events, and
it is with expectancy that we await
another season with next year’s ar
tists!
all of these manequins as they not
only made the dresses but also mod

students who made a smock, a silk

music suited the words, which de
scribed a forlorn little girl who —
alas — is neglected by her Pierrot.
Agnes Mae Johnson played three
piano compositions, entitled “Mys
tery,” “Reverie,” and “Spanish
Dance.” The dance was outstand
ing for its rolicking and carefree
rhythm. “Mystery” was especial
ly interesting to ye olde critic be
cause she happened to possess some
inside informatioji about the piece,
S'aid composition was inspired by
the mournful drip, drip, drip of
Agnes Mae’s shower on a dark and
silent night. Ah me, the powers of
music! It soothes the savage breast
and even glorifies the prosaic drip
of a shower bath!
Johnsie Bason contributed
-‘ March Caprice” which was played
by Agnes Mae on the Piano. The
piece, as its title . suggests, was a
cheerful parody, unlike the usual
thundering military marches. John
sie’s presentation of her song, “A
Young Mystic” was excellent.
Alice Purcell’s compositions were
outstanding. Her “Capriccio” for
violin, performed by Elizabeth Swin-
son, was a delightful piece with an
in'terijHting accomppninjent. “ A1
Purse” played two piano composi
tions, “At the Fair” and “May
Frolics,” which were vigorous,
strongly rhythmic numbers that soon
had the audience enjoying vicarious
ly the pleasures suggested by the
titles. The listeners were quite
pleased with Alice’s work, calling
her back for well-deserved extra
applause.
Margaret Vardell’s work was fas
cinating. Her first piece was for
the organ and was entitled “Cara
van.” And a beautiful job she did
of conjuring up visions of burdened
jpaipels. plodding along a desert .at
supdown. One could almost hear the
dusty sand slipping between the
cloven hooves of the weary beasts.
(Here’s hoping camels have tloven
hoves!). Margaret’s voice compo
sition, “Mountain Snow Fall” was
sung by Annie Hyman Bunn. The
accompaniment and melody both
united to give a good representation
of the thoughts in man’s heart in

THE LECTURE
(Continued From Page One)
two entirely different interpreta
tions of the news. Mr. Cousins had
two newspapers which were printed
on the same day to illustrate his
point.
Mr, Cousins pointed out that fifth
columnists use propaganda as one of
their most powerful weapons. They
try to make the public feel that the
enemy is witkout and within, that
nothing can be done to check the
enemy activity. It happened in
Norway and in France ... it can
happen here. Hitler began by or
ganizing a third of the people, for
he realized that a well organized
minority was stranger than a dis
organized majority. . Mr. Cousins
said that this same sort of thing is
being done in Amerifca today by Joe
McWilliams who promises to protect
the industrialists from the labor un
ions, demands that labor unite, to
withstand industrialists . . . and of
fers to protect the middle class from
them both.
To close his talk, Mr. Cousins re
peated some of the answers that Ho
boken children gave to identifica
tion questions:
“Hitler is a point in a polo game.’
“Blitzkrieg is the President’s fav
orite horse.”
“Mussolini is the name of a Chi-
cago gangster.”
“Propaganda is the name of tht
eldest member of a family of geese.
“Stalin is something you want
people to think you’re doing when
you ain’t doing nothing at all.”
All in all, Norman Cousins was a
most entertaining speaker and £
pleasant personality to end our lec
ture series for this year.

the face of winter’s cold. Since the
song was in the modern idiom, there
was no danger of its becoming senti
mental, a, danger which a less skill
ful composer might have encounter
ed in treating the same theme. Mar
garet’s piano composition was an ex
tremely modernistic piece entitled
The Parrot” filled with sophistica
ted dissonances and delightful sur
prises and revealing Margaret’s in
comparable sense of humor.
The recital showed what could be
done with an idea and a few' sheets
of music paper. (Of course, those
girl* would tell, ^ you the/e’s ■ |more
involved than that, howeyer). It
was a soul-satisfying occasion.
And now it is with reluctant steps
and slow that my thoughts come
down from the realms of beauty in
music to plod once more the sordid
path of term papers. Ah me! Those
charming little note-cards!
