Using as her subject, “A Modern
Conservative View of a Modern Rev
olutionary World,” Dorothy Thomp
son, 1939 Weil lecturer, spoke to a
capacity audience in Chapel Hill,
April 1.
Miss Thompson, journalist and
European traveler, is an authority
on Foreign Relations and is said to
have the best ‘‘inside” information
sources of any of the news commen
tators.
On many subjects Miss Thompson
has very decided opinions. She feels
that there is far too much national
ism in the world. When asked what
we could do to improve our foreign
situation, she replied that at present
we could do nothing; in fact she ad
vised United States citizens not to
shout names across the sea. Miss
Thompson believes that the German-
American Bund could be abolished
by more extensive libel laws.
The audience was as entranced by
Miss Thompson’s regal appearance
as by her illuminating talk. Her up-
swept gray hair emphasizes the
striking perfection of her skin and
features.To me, she is the most beau
tiful woman in public life. Dorothy
Thompson is tall and statuesque. She
has a certain graceful carriage and
graciousness of manner that one sel

As a speaker she is marvelous. Her

Get out of our way. Seniors ! Move
over. Sophs! Freshmen can stand
still ’cause they are so little—we’ll
just run over them.
Junior week—Yes. We’re Juniors,
an’ powerfully proud of it, too, we
are.
Wheel Run for your life—Mad
Dog! Mad Dog! Cheese!
Wait? Whew! That’s just Mrs.
Bradford’s room with huge bows
tied under their necks like dogs.
Maroon umbrellas on them, too, with
‘‘It ISTever Rains” written on them.
Gorsh—if “It Never Rains,” why
the umbrellas ?
Look—Has Hollywood come to
Goldsboro ? A new style ? White bol
eros ? Oh! I see Miss Hamer’s room
is a strutting—boleros with letters
on the back. What does it say ? Ah—
Juniors! “It Never Rains.” Oh,
Well, I suppose they should know.
What? Rain around the necks of
all of Miss Sanborn’s class—No, “It
Never Rains” around their necks.
C? That’s a white kerchief with
maroon letters on it.
Marshals walking down the hall!
What are we having? School’s not
out but—-It’s just as important. Mr.
By w*"' v.jiiite
WashiiifJ'®. Says
the , '
\T. that umbrella down in this
school building. Don’t you know it’s
bad luck? The building might even
fall! Everybody in Miss Ipock’s
room is carrying umbrollas and it
ain’t raining. Oh, well, Chamberlain
hasn’t one thing on them. Don’t 1
sound dumb, but I knew all the time
they were advertising “It Never
Rains.”
Mexicans! Maybe they’ll do a
tango. Aw, Miss Langston’s room
can’t fool anybody. They ain’t Mex
icans, ’cause it says on their sashes,
“It Never Rains.”
Somebody’s trying to get free
lunch But that’s old—in the fun
nies men walk around with cards
around their necks to get free meals.
Betcha they get fooled; Miss Yel-
verton doesn’t serve free lunches.
Ha-Ha-Ha What say? ’Tain’t fun
ny. Gee, they don’t want free lunch
—They want you to come to the Jun
ior play tonight at 8 :00. But Gosh—
Don’t we all ?
P. S. This story is for advertising
purposes only.
P. S., Jr. I was just fooling.
