We heard you clap, Nelle!
VISITORS
Bowles lured a Davidson man to
Raleigh town the thirtieth, and Jean
Craft entertained her Georgia rein
forcement. Jean Stockton did all
right this past week-end with a
“friend” from Oak Ridge. Amelia
Townsend hated to tell her Clemson
man good-bye, too.
HAVE YOUR CAKE AND
EAT IT TOO DBPART3IENT
Liz Guion, Buttercup McGuirk,
Nancy Dixon and Nancy Harp
shouldn’t worry their pretty little
heads trying to decide which one.
BRAIN TIVISTERS
What was Mary Jo Wagner doing
at Dix Hill last Saturday night ?
AVho is it that gets phone calls
from Denver?
Where did Beth Yarborough get
the roses complete with leaves and
foggy, foggy, dew?
What is it that this country needs
for a nickel ?
With overgro'ivn ears and a bad
reputation, I remain your Saint
Marv’s informer,
Sallie
mother, but you can be sure that
"Tut” will be the gal at the wheel
most of the time.
Alany of the day students took off
with flying colors to the State Fair.
Seen swinging from the arm of the
octopus was "Libba” Dorris. "Libba ’
looked rather frightened. I really
can’t hlame her, but she said it was
fun. Seen dangling from the ferris
wheel were Nancy Bobbitt and
"Tuck.”
Liza has been seen trying her luck
on the archery field. She may prove
to be another William Tell some
day; who knows ?
Margaret Morris says she had a
marvelous time in Charlotte last
week-end. Margaret’s home is in
Charlotte, and she was lucky enough
to get a ride home.
The senior day students are able
to breathe now that The Iliad is be
hind them. But they are fearful of
other battles to be fought soon.
Entire World Shows
Signs Of Insanity
The Avorld’s going crazy. Have
> you seen a new book in the library
called Surrealism? It has a picture
of a fur cup and spoon—unusual
book, to say the least. Even the
proverbs are surrealistic. We quote
and give some' examples of school
life to throw some cubes and ab
stracts on the subject:
“I came, I sat, I departed.” Most
classes.
“He who bestirs himself is lost.”
And if that isn’t the right attitude,
we’ll be a limp watch.
“Better to die of love than to love
without reget.” (Just stuck that in
because we’re sentimental and like
it, strictly extracurricular.)
“When reason is away, the smiles
will play.” Happy week-end girls!
Happy Birthday I
I won’t beat around the bush—
I’ll come right out and say,
“Have vourself a HAPPY BIRTH
DAY!”

Qood Discs Appear In
Spite Of Petrillo Ban
Petrillo put a ban on the music
department, but there are still some
mighty good numbers in circulation.
One might think this is a back
ward world' to hear Red Ingle and
his Natural Seven with Erutan Yob.
For the benefit of the little dense
that’s Nature Boy spelled backwards.
Temptation was a success; maybe
this will be too.
Stan Kenton’s album with his sen
sation, Theme, is out of this world,
that is, if you like Kenton style
music.
Have you heard Dinah Shore’s
Shore’s rendition of Dinah? It was
once so popular that she adopted
the song title for her name. Her
version of Chloe is also very smooth.
Ever tried writing a song? Try
it sometime—that is if you have lots
of time and nothing much to do.
Hollywood composer, Harold Adam
son, spent six long months on a score
for the movie, A Date With Judy.
The result of all this work was one
accepted song. That one was It’s a
Most Unusual Day. ..That just goes
to show composing is a bigger job
than one might think.
Tony Martin really gives with For
Every Man’s There’s a Woman and
It TTos Written in the Stars. Both
of these numbers are strictly on the
romantic side.
Sophomore Suzie
Recipe for romance—found on
mayonnaise jar: “Keep cool but
don’t freeze.”
Egotism—Anesthetic that na
ture gives to man to deaden the
pain of being a daxm fool.
Absent-minded sales girl kissing
boy friend good-night, “Will that
he all, sir?”—Readers’ Digest.
Never have I seen such excite
ment in my wdiole life! Everj'-
thing seems to be happening at
the same time to these high and
mighty seniors. Mary Cat English,
Minor Jordan, and Betty Anne
Y'o'well have recently received fra
ternity pins, and Catherine Camp
bell, Liz Guion, Mary Giles Stexv-
art, Toodie Sikes, Susan Jenkins,
and Betty Anne Yowell were taken
into the “Circle” on October 26th.
I guess B. A. has really been
on a cloud these past few days
■\vhat Avith the pin and the chicken
ring. Noav, T have my daddy’s fra
ternity pin (of course it’s dated
1926), and I have a regular col
lection of chicken rings from the
farm 1 live on (1 also have dang
ling prepositions), but it just isn’t
the same for some reason or other.
Maybe it’s because B. A.’s beau
is young and good-looking,
or maybe it’s because he’s still in
school. Then, too, I guess it’s
quite an honor to be given a
chicken ring here.
If I only understood more
about the Circle I would be much
better off. It’s all so mysterious
with its white robes and torches
and tapping people. What is tap
ping, anyrvay? Webster says tap
ping is “giving a light bloAV or
bloAA^s Avith—” (he has dangling
prepositions too!) If that is AA'hat
it means, I sho’ hope they don’t
hurt someone one day.
Nannie, Allison, Wills, Ackie
and Betty W. have set a fine ex
ample for me. They all Avent on
diets, so I did too. I’ll have to ad
mit that after not eating for tAvo
Avhole daA^s I broke doAvn and ate
some of my roommate’s birthday
cake, but I still thought I had lost
some Aveight. I Avrote my mother
and told her hoAv pleased I Avas.
At nine forty-five I had almost for
gotten to go doAAUi and mail the
letter, so I just put on my clothes
over my p. j’s. At the post office
Avho should I encounter but Miss
Jones. I just kneAV tliat one leg of
my p. j’s. Avould fall doAvn or
something disastrous Avould hap
pen Avhile I Avas talking to her.
Well, something did! She said,
“Dear, haven’t you gained a little
Aveight?” 1 Avas seared to death
Avhen she took hold of my arm
Avith its concealed flannel cover
ing, but strangely enough she
didn’t ask me Avhat Avas under my
SAveater. She probably thinks my
fat is “flannelish” (is that a
Avord?)
What one is not supposed to do
behind “Do Not Disturbs” I don’t
say, bnt these seniors have me
Avorried. They sit alone in their
rooms singing to themselves.
' There’s only one tune they sing
but it must have lots of verses to
it. The song is “Bell Bottom
Trousers” and the Avords are from
some kind of Chaucer’s Tales or
something that sounds like pig
Latin. Confidentially I’ve heard
Miss Jones singing it too.
I really have noticed hoAV beat
up those West Rock girls' are—
Avhat Avith people leaving, rooms
changing, and having to SAvim the
hall, I guess they’ll drop dead.
And speaking of dropping dead,
that’s AAdiat old Suzie is gonna do
if she doesn’t get some shut-eye,
so I’ll continue later.
