Which shall we be sorry for?
Tresident Few from Duke
was on Ihe same program with
President Jloover last week in
speaking at Kaiulolpli-Macon’s
centennial celebi*ation of its
fonndin}r.
We learn from the Chronicle
that one Duke boy couldn’t go
to an out-of-town game because
he had a broken thumb. “Boy,
these hitchhikers certainly lead
a hard life,” says the Chronicle.
The Cireensboro High Life re
cently won the cup in the Class
A contest among Southern High
School newspapers at the an
nual S. 1. i*. A. convention at
Wasliington and Lee University.
That’s a cup worth winning,
too! Congratulations! We’d
like to make one comment on a
JJii/h Life editorial. Although
we cannot have a (^uill and

The music students put u])
this rueful alibi, “We have to
stay in the music building all
the week and attend student re
cital which is compulsory; why
should ‘we’ al lend the faculty re
cital tni Sunday.” Here is the
reason why: 'J'lic music that we
bear during the week is only
l»arts of compositions, and a
large |)art is misinterpreted.
Al the faculty recitals we hear
tlie real interpretation and are
b(Ht{M- abhi to appreciate and
know gool music when we

If the faciilly is iiitorestcKl
enough in our tlepartment lo
give recitals to let the i»eople
know wimt W(.‘ are doing, let’s
show our apiir(‘-iation by at-
lendinu' them.

Scroll chapter at Meredith since
it is a college, we know from e.\-
perience tliat the Quill and
Scroll is something every good
High School paper should have
a chapter of. A scliool the size
of Greensboro and of the quality,
too—should by all means liave
one. There’s no dilticulty in
starting one if the Journalistic
work is good enough (and it
is I). W'e olfer our best wishes
for its establishment soon.
In nearly every pai)er we
have on our exchange list is a
story concerning the celebration
of Virgil’s 2000th birthday. A
Greek play was given at Walla
Walla ITigh School, in Walla
^Valla, Wash. Their football
team is called “The Blue
Devils,” too—that’s a long way
from Duke. The YVa-Hi Jour
nal. tlieir school paper, has an
antogi‘a])li album in which they
have the signatuies of many
noted Americans. An interest
ing idea!

My Iocs and tail! I shall find my-
nelf dyhuj a natural- death from nerv-
OUH e.vhaxislion in a while. There, are
entirely loo many mysteries around
Ihvi placafor me. I had no sooner got
ten this secret about Stunts solved
to my satisfaction when a much more
di^lurbiiig one has literally hlown w
■m me. It seem^ that my vocal con-
Irihntions are to he utterly drowned
out in ihe most terrible medly of
squalls and shriehs. I am a little
wrong in calling these fiendish sounds
by those names, hoxuever, for they
are worse than that. There are ear
spUtting blasts, hair raising explo
sions of sound—oh, almost anything
horrible to he imagined in an audi
tory way. What it is all about I can
not find out. I loaii in a tense atti
tude beneath some window. Suddenly
there xoill ho one of these unearthly
blasts follotved by screams of humans.
1 have as yet not been able to find
whether these human sliriehs are
the result of tortures too terrible to
relate or whether the sounds emitted
from the humans are unavoidable re
sponses of agony to the excruciating
so^inds just heard. At least I Tcnow
that I am getting positively jumpy.
I am prepared for the worst and ex
pect at any minute to be blown into
eternity. (For a while.)
These people are not so dumb. It
seems they are going to play to heat
the band.
This is just a musical note from
Your fnend the Kampus Kat.
