O Income and Happiness The Hills Beckon to Those Loving the Out-of-Doors Spring Season Ushers in a Interest in Beauties of Hill and Dale. New There has • been quite a stir and hubbub among the students, now that spring seems pretty close at hand, over hieing away to the mountains and getter further first-hand obser vation of the beauties of the setting with which we are blessed. While we live among these hallowed hills, and keep communion constant ly with their beauties, there is at times a lethargy when it comes to getting out among the peaks. Other localities, less blessed, would revel in this wondrous scenery. So it is with a lot of satisfaction that one hears now and then groups of students dis cussing trips, or contemplating hikes, into the mountains. Nowhere is there more alluring scenery, or more enervating climate, and the outdoors life about Mars Hill is sure to beckon very kindly to its host of nature-loving students. At this time of year the roaming spirit sort of gets into one’s nostrils, and the urge should not be long put off, to “get out and go up.” We like to think back fo^he time when, as a boy, we found great de light in getting the loan of a coffee pot and a skillet from home, and get ting the wherewithal to cook a good camp meal. Those who have never had this experience have missed a lot Of real fun. Now that income-taxpaying time is past, we breathe a lot easier—not that wo had such a terrifically high tax to pay; truth is, we couldn’t find any tax imppossable after we figured it all out. But we breathe easier for those who had to scrimp and scrape to meet their just dues. Of course, we anticipate that a lot of our seniors are emerging, after their college days are over, into af fluence and wealth, though we hope that by that time further reductions will have been made in the tax rates that the successful ones will feel a lot easier than many a tax-paying un fortunate nowadays. They say the last-minute rush at the federal office in Asheville was like a mob scene. Everyone waited until the last minute, as seems nat ural with human nature. But we are frank in saying that our income re port ■was ready several month ago, simply because we didn’t have to make out one. Taken as and all, those who do pay income taxes take the matter philo sophically, and pay their bit unmur- muringly. It’s a trait of the Ameri can people—to accept things as a matter of course, set up a kind of hullabaloo and in the end submit, since that is the easiest way out. —Socrates. Due to the fact that some of the dignified Seniors have attempted to start new hair-cut styles and have even gone to the extent of getting permanent waves, I feel (although not being asked by the editor to do so) that I should give them a little light upon the subject, or, in other words, "WTite a brief history of Amer ica’s permanent wave industry. So here you are, and if you get a thrill out of this fascinating story of a pioneer struggle then there’s some thing the matter with you. This little-known and, what’s more, little-cared-about business can be traced back to Will Sleepeasy, who in turn was traced for many years but never caught. In 1769 he came to this country from the South pole with nothing but his son, Ghoda, the shirt on his back, and a second-hand flag pole. The shirt was a bit small and Sleepeasy was immediately arrested for imitating the American flapper. He was forced for bail to sell the flagpole to that type of fellow that stands on them for days and daze. When he got out of jail he started in, you might say, from scratching. (This was due principally to the little pests that infested his cell. But I can’t go into that now.) Sleepeasy and Ghoda went to spend a few days (as they had known them in the frigid regions) with their uncle in the northern part of South ern California. Where do you worka. Will?” ask ed Uncle Tom for no reason at all. “I loafer, I loafer, I loafer,” an swered Sleepeasy, for the same rea son, and both of them laughed and drank some hard cider. Ghoda -ivas napping under the shade of a grape vine and his hair took root in the rich soil. Due to some unnatural law, his hair grew so fast that it awoke him by creeping up his nose and tickling him in that delicate organism. When he awoke this phenomenon set Ghoda to think ing for the first time in thirty-one years. He thought how wonderful it was that he was not like the fair maid of Mars Hill, who felt a flax seed through twenty-seven mattress es. This was a mere thought of Gho- da’s. He did it all by himself, and w'ithout napping between thoughts. After this rush of the brain Ghoda went back to sleep without even turning over. As he was napping, napping, only napping, his hair started creeping, creeping, simply creeping up the grape vine and winding itself ns it went. But disaster st.alked in the off ing. Franklin discovered electricity, and it gave such a shock to the old world that ever,ything stood still ex cept Sleepeasy, and he ran to see if his son Ghoda was all right. After a three day search he came upon Ghoda still napping under the grape vine. Ghoda had been sleeping under the grape vine three months and when the shock had come he had been too stupified to move. Eureka! The first permanent wave! (For Ghoda’s hair was holding fast to the grape vine, yet part of it was waving in the wind.) ‘Stay there,” said his father. “You’re some good after all.” So in 1764 the discovery of this great industry came about, and has wavered, or waived, or waved greatly ever since, gaining the eyes of pass ing generations.
