Page four THE TWIG February 28, 1957 CLASSROOM CHARACTERS Classes Can Be Funny By PEANUT SWINDLER To me this going-to-class business can be pretty funny at times - besides the big joke when you’re asked to hand in homework you haven’t done. The real funny part of classes is the people. In just one class the other day I noticed many people in different positions that were funny looking, and I had to laugh out loud and jot down ac curate notes to report to you cor rectly. In one class is the typical nervous person who, in her haste to get away, can’t keep her feet still. It’s maddening to see this vague move ment from the corner of your eye, isn’t it? The swinging of the leg from a crossed position of the knees in a jerky motion that approaches a nervous twitch is the most com mon practice I have observed. In contrast to this person, who seems so eager to leave class, is the one who strolls into class nonchalantly and settles in a slouched position in her chair with apparent intent to stay all day. This character leads to another — the person who supports the class — the sleeper (pun!). She can be found in any class. She closely resembles the sloucher or slumper, but is distinguished by drooped and ultimately closed eyelids. One of the (ha, ha) funniest (ha) sights to me (I just can’t help laughing even now) is the person (ha, ha) . . . the person who . . . well, the person seems to have slipped from my mental picture just now. Oh, there are lots of funny MUSICAL NOTES (Continued from page two) Musicales are given each month by members of the music fraternity. Jeanne Grealish will present her graduation recital in voice on March 12. This is one you will not want to miss! For all the voice students comes this “punny” statement from one of our most distinguished music faculty members: “Give a singer enough rope, and she will hung-go herself.” The same could apply to music column writers too! But I just can’t resist this last bit of news concern ing one of our foremost young pianists: Did you know that Nancy Perkins, junior piano major, won a beauty contest back in ’37? (“She TWIG — Whitley must have been a beau-ti-ful baby.”) DR. SYRON NOMINATED (Continued from page one) at the convention in April. Serving this year as State Legislative Pro gram Chairman, Dr. Syron has spoken recently in Oxford, Salis bury and Asheville. PHI PARTY HAS IRISH FLAVOR On Saturday night, March 2, a Phi party was held in Society Hall. Members from both societies at tended the event. Entertainment was provided by the Phis and the Sigma Phi Epsilon and the Sigma Chi fra ternities at State College. The event followed a Saint Patrick’s day theme. people in a classroom —- the person who checks her watch every three and a half minutes but won’t be time-keeper for a basketball game, because she can’t tell time. There is the gal who laughs hysterically at all the teacher’s silly jokes (not I). Yes, there are characters. But they aren’t all students. I mean, some of the teachers are . . . real . . . don’t you think they’re pretty funny, too, sometimes? Like the teacher who saw a student yawning and returned the yawn with another yawn. (It was funny at the time.) Another professor who professes knowledge of the pos sible danger of schizophrenia com mences to assume the role of two people as he bounces around the room. One time he’s the Lone Ranger; another time Mark An thony. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. Personally, I think they’re as funny as everything and I love them. Now if you think I’ve been writing about you, you can just forget the whole idea; ’cause I’ve got a special section in my head that allows me conveniently to forget about whom I have written.

A very handsome young man named Buddy Gentry came out on top. The lucky girl who entered his picture is Lee Pass, a member of the junior class. Buddy is from Ca-Vel, North Carolina, and is in textile engineering at State College. The Phis are sending him a pair of cuff links as a gift.

Many interesting and colorful ex hibits have been shown there this year, ranging from art work done by the children in the Charlotte public schools to famous prints of Japanese paintings. Many who have seen these exhibits have greatly enjoyed them and can thoroughly appreciate the work and effort put into them by Mr. Reyn olds and Mr. Gaboda. Several exhibits have already been planned for this spring. On March 15 the alumnae are plan ning an Art Seminar; art works by former art majors will be exhibited in the gallery during that week. Mi. Gaboda is also scheduled to present an exhibition of some of his work. These two exhibits should be es pecially interesting. The senior art majors are now working on their senior exhibits which will be “one-man shows” some time this spring. The majors planning to exhibit are Bobby Lin- ville, Donna McKinley, Carol Whedbee, and Carol Cooke. Another very colorful exhibit will be the one by the art education and design classes. Representative works from their term projects will be on exhibit, these will include such things as mobiles, masks, ani mals and toys made from boxes, and many kinds of imaginative de signs made from coat hangers and papier mache.
