Freshmen Hear
A Story Told
A recent Freshman devotional
featured a story about Luther,
who was looking for the God that
had made his hands.
Preceeding the story the class
sang, “Fairest Lord Jesus.” This
was followed by a passage from
the Bible, read by Gurney Collins.
Mela Royal sang “I Want To
Walk Closer To Jesus,” accom
panied by Rita Wood at the
piano.
In closing the devotional, every
body stood for a silent prayer,
and afterwards prayed the Lord’s
Prayer.

Disc Hits
By Sara Thompson
The subject for today is songs,
ballards, novelties, jumpers,
speepers — songs of all kinds.
Are the songs of today on a
par with the songs of a decade,
or two or three decades ago?
A lot of disc jockeys yapping
into hot Mikes are complaining
that the “ditties” deal out in
these frantic forties are strictly
fluff — sad, uninspired and
trasky.
Of all the songs you’re hear
ing today — so runs the general
complaint — where is a “Star
Dust” or a “More Than You
Know” or a “Sweet Lorraine” or
“Body and Soul?” (Remember
any of those?). Mix th^ recent
buttons and bows, woodpeckers,
pussycats, little bii'dies that tell
you, boats headed for the Orient,
red roses for blue ladies and fa
ces pow'dered with sunshine and
stuff, and you’ve got a sure
recipe for "mass suicide.”
A Hit Parade Topper in 1949
is good for only three months at
the most. In 1929 a song hit
lasted a full year and it sold five
times as many copies of sheet
music.
And so we hear dozens and
hundreds of inferior songs these
days. To get one hit many must
be written and performed. Ac
tually, there are many songs of
high quality available right now-
some of which are as good as
“Body and Soul” and all the
other great songs. For example,
listen carefully next Saturday
night to the Hit Parade and pay i
particular attention to the lyrics j
and melodies of . . . Well, there'
must be one somewherel You
find it!
To get down to the popular
songs around our high school —
If you’ve been out to the Sey
mour Johnson Recreation Center
bowling alley division) you’ve
(no doubt about it) heard “Go
Home” by Divieaires. That’s the
one that everybody likes to shag
by. You first heard “Run Rabbit
Run” by Alan Foster out there
too. They’re all right.
The Deacons Hop by the Blue
Jays and “Corn Bread” by the
Singer (Hae) are new fast pieces
too.
The ditty that takes top hon
ors this issue in our column is
that slow sentimental ballad,
called “So Tired”. The best re
cording of it, so far, is by Kay

Starr. Give this song time and
for all we know, it may be num
ber one on the Hit Parade. By
the way, I want to dedicate this
song to the Gohisca Staff. Seems
to be a joke going around too
about “So Tired”. Have you
heard it? If you haven’t get
Joyce Bagley to tell you.
Art Mooney has made a bril

you heard his latest? “Those
