A lot of the college crowd head
ed for Atlantic Beach as soon as
they got in town for the Blaster
holidays, and quite a few of us
at New Bern High school followed
suit.
There’s nothing more delightful,
after a cold winter, than basking in
the sun. It takes most of us a long
time to get a good tan, so_the
sooner we start the better.
Speaking of the college crowd,
weVe been told that one of the
niajor differences they find off at
school is more chance to express
themselves as an individual. What
ever their interests, they are sure
to find someone else with similar
interests.
On the high school level, they
say, there is more inclination to

conform or follow the leader. In
other words, a high school student
is less inclined to be himself than
the college student. Often the high
school student is satisfied to fit
into the popular pattern.
To some extent this still holds
true in college, and, from observa
tion of our elders, can be expected
to hold true all through life. Cer
tainly all of us have to be concern
ed with public opinion. But the
teen-ager who remains true to his
ideals, and dares to be original in
thought and deed, is apt to be out
standing.
We understand that the tennis
courts at the New Bern Recreation
Center will be available shortly.
Tennis is a wonderful sport, wheth
er you’re skilled at it or not, and
it should be more popular here
than it is.
Don’t forget to sent your best
original poem, your best essay or
term paper, or your best drawing
or painting, to The Mirror. It
won’t hurt to try, and you may be
one of those who will win''a Mir
ror Medal for outstanding creative
effort. Competition is open to all
students at New Bern High school.

ing his own New York hotel.
The rumor was unfounded. He
returned the money, but some
senders had already died in battle.
He hangs on to their offerings as
touching relics of West Pointers’
devotion. One check, incidentally,
was for $2,000 and another for
$5,000.
Mr. Wallnau—he’s just Ed to
all the lads from up-river—still
gets mail from former cadets in
far-off places. He knows their
wives and children, calls them all
by their first names.
When they get to town, he al
ways manages to squeeze them in.
He thinks he had his toughest prob
lem when four cadets, class of ’44,
turned up at the Picadilly, each
with a new bride.
The hotel was jammed, but Mr.
Wallnau finally rigged cots in his
room for the brides, cots for the
men in his office. It wasn’t the
happiest arrangement, but better
than no shelter. The story got
around to make another Wallnau
legend.
Thus, in flattering fashion, did
the New York Times tell Ed’s sto
ry. Others have written about him
since, and will continue to write
about him. As for us, we remem
ber pleasantly how he makes all
New Bernians feel at home when
they stay at the Picadilly, Like in
the Big City hasn’t ruined his small
town ways.

never came. Then when the children ^
