Juniors Create
Thrills
The Junior Class got off to a
good start by sponsoring a wonder
ful Halloween party on October
30 in Anderson Auditorium at
8 o'clock.
The class members succeeded in
arousing plenty of interest and
mystery beforehand by tacking up
signs everywhere. Those little
Junior gobblins must have gotten
up very early in order to post the
signs, because no one ever caught
them at the task. Oh, well, that’,s
the Junior class — secrets, secrets,
secrets.
Anderson Chapel was a typical
cornfield. Autumn leaves covered
the floor; corn stalks and pump
kins were everywhere, and the
guests added to the color scheme
by coming disguised in costume.
Dottie Todd and Jackie Scott,
“The Pirates,” won the prize for
the most original dress.
Square dancing seemed to ap
peal to everyone, even those who
had never tried it before joined
in the fun.
Seems as if there is great talent
in the Junior Class this year. Jane
Lanning presented a cute number,
and the skit put on by Joyce' Oliver
and Ji Ji Landon was very original.
Carol and Billly Weaver displayed
smooth dancing in those two
waltzes they did.
The House of Horrors was truly
HORRORS!!! That body was
enough to make one’s hair curl,
so white and still.
“Madame 'Vaksay Ma Dookee”
was a typical fortune-teller who
seemed to have a gypsy’s peculiar
talent for predicting the future.
Congratulations to the Junior
Class and their sponsors for a
wonderful Hallowe’en party.

BLACK MOUNTAIN
VESPER LIGHTS
On October 24, the Student
Christian Association had as their
guest speaker Mr. Robert Hauth,
a German-born American citizen
from Black Mountain. Mr. Hauth
spoke on “I Am An American.”
He brought to our minds a picture
of what freedom in other countries
means as compared in the United
■States. He stated that in order for
us Americans to keep our freedom,
we must not take freedom for
granted, and we must keep God
as our Leader and King in mind.
On October 31, the Home Mis
sion Group presented a play, “The
Light That Shines at Home,”
which told us where the different
missions are and how they are
helping American-born foreigners
become educated in Christianity.

nothing so interesting -r- your ner

foreign words and expressions,
none of them even vaguely resemb

companion who, upon a series of
squeaks and groans known to the
initiate as “tuning up,” assumes
a beatific expression and vehem
ently says “shh!” You reluctantly
subside, and wait for the agony
to begin. It does, with an inter

on, who, you feel certain, wasn t
feeling quite up to par when he
penned those lines. In fact, one
might diagnose his condition as
an acute attack of appendicitis
interspersed with delirium trem

When these uplifting thoughts
have ceased to entertain, you
notice something interesting about
one of the performers — his tou
pee is slipping. You are tempted
to share this amazing discovery
with your companion, but after
stealing a quick look at her rapt
expression, you decide against it.

Well, since long weekend is
over. I’ll sit dowm and tell ya’ll the
latest developments.
They say Martha has lost in
terest in becoming an old maid
social worker. Jane N. has finally
heard from Edgar and Courreges
got a letter from Mickey. Hisle, you
should learn to read the bulletin
board. Say, Landon, was it you or
Dink who had the flu? Bodron, why
didn’t you go to South Carolina
long weekend ? Bradie, say you
think Miss Grier’s scales are a lit
tle off? Cindy says prices are
really going up in Hendersonville
—especially shoes. Mary Dudley,
who are you trying to hide from

RIPPING good time last weekend.
Bitsy, hasn’t Dick grown just a
wee bit? Hope, why all the inter
est in Wallace, N. C. ? Well, that’s
all for now. We’ll be back next
month with all the latest dirt.

Hooray! The program’s over, and
you can go home! Upon the ap
plication of a vigorous yank to
your coat tail by your smart
roommate, who had anticipated
just such a move on your part,
you find yourself sitting once
more, waiting for the second and
third parts of the program which
are torture and oblivion, respective
ly.
At last, it’s over. You heave a
gusty sigh of thankfulness, awdke
the various parts of your anatomy
which gave up long ago and went
to sleep, and attempt to stagger
out into the aisle. To your hor
ror, the applause becomes such
that the performers feel called
upon to give an encore. Through
the storm of applause, you shout
frenziedly into the unheeding ear
of your roommate that you are
going mad, mad, do you hear me ?
Mad! After an interval of several
eons, during which the encore gal

of all your discomfort arouses
herself sufficiently from rosy rev
erie to murmur, “I’m so glad you
liked the concert — I knew you
would.”
