The Germans have cap tured Kharkov and engulfed almost all of the Donets indus trial valley, except the great city of Rostov. The conquered nations of Europe are still fighting and sabotaging the German war effort. Hitler personally gave a reprieve from death to one hundred French hostages. In Yugoslavia the Serbs are fighting the German conquerors heroically for the liberation of their homeland. And in all the other conquered nations the German Gestapo is executing many thousands of the in habitants of these countries. MR. BLANTON SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE SAP PH IRA AND THE SLAVE GIRL She Snoops To Conquer (Continued from Page 3) "Dot" Robbins blush at the table when a certain boy asked her for a date for anniversary. "Dot" soys that was only her natural color. Jane Eller's big question: To be "Orr" not to be. It seems Shirley has "pierced" the heart of Del- bridge. (Continued from Page 2) and her husband who operates a mill. Sappira, as we meet her in the story, is about sixty- five years old and is partially "rippled. She is considered to have married beneath her level. Sapphira owns a great number of slaves who live on the place. The chief interest of the story is in a young, pretty mulatto slave girl, Nancy, whose mother is Sapphira's personal maid and whose father is thought to be a Cuban painter who was on the place some years before painting portraits of the master and mistress. The conflict is brought about by a suspicion on Sap phira's part of her husband, Henry Colbert. She suspects him of misconduct with Nancy, who keeps his bedroom which is located in the mill itself. The suspicion is wholly unfounded and is later proved to have been a false one. One is given an insight into Sapphira's character and clever intellect when he reads how she goes about "correcting" the situation. Willa Cather's greatest gift seems to be the portraying of characters. One will meet many people in this book whom he will not forget for some time. The book is well worth reading easily at two sittings. It is 298 pages long. Other books by this same author are Death Comes to the Archbishop and Shadows on the Rock. Present Society Grew From Early Organization (Continued from Page 1) and in the nation; and as long as Euthalia holds to these ideas upon which she was founded, great men will con tinue to emerge from her gates to lead and command this na tion. In 1940, the Euthalian Literary Society observed its fiftieth Anniversary with an elaborate finale showing in magnificent proportions the Temple of Eu thalia. In collaboration with the celebration of the fiftieth year the new Hall of Euthalia was dedicated and the society began meeting in its spacious new quarters. Many of the founders of Euthalia have passed on into their eternal rest, and it is to those stalwart sons of long ago who founded Euthalia on (Continued from Page 1) ents that one of their children would enter the ministry. When Mr. Blanton was 12 years old he joined a little country Baptist church. In re gard to this experience he says, "My Christian experience was not confined to my con version only, but it rather formed a good beginning." In his early manhood he was called upon, as were so many young men of his gener ation, to serve his country in the first World war, and in 1918 he was sent to France with the American expedition ary forces. He was engaged in active service until the armis tice. Concerning his life story, Mr. Blanton says, "It will not be very interesting to others, per haps, but it has been extremely interesting to me." When asked his opinion of the problems facing the youth of today, he said, "Every boy and girl ought to find that occupation or calling in which he finds greatest personal satisfaction and renders the greatest serv ice to humanity. "The war will call on the youth for unparalleled sacri fices and will confront them with the responsibility of re building a civilization, which will require great courage and rare good will, for the world cannot be rebuilt on the old plan. "We are not the first gener ation to face war, sorrow, and sacrifice; and I have great confidence in the youth of to day and in their ability to face their tasks." Mars Hill Shines At Student Legislature (Continued from Page 1) sembly, Norman Caudle was placed on the Democratic slate as President of the Senate, and C. C. Hope, Mars-Hillion of the class of '41, was placed as President pro tempore. At the first regular session of the separate houses it was found that Hope had been thus placed by both the Democratic and the Republican parties. In the finals Mars Hill took six of the seven major offices avail able, insomuch as all of these offices are held by students who are now enrolled in Mars Hill or who have transferred to other institutions after having set fine records here. NONS ARE EXCITED ABOUT RECEPTION (Continued from Page 1) best of any Eu. The Nonpareil reception will be the harvest of their year's work, the grand finale of their two weeks' reign. Campus Excitement For The Non-Reception As in the past, each Non has rallied round her president and has promised to do her utmost for the successful climax of an extremely busy two weeks. Already untold tedious tasks have been completed by these determined Nons, Nons determined that the true spirit of Non-Eu will show through, that every Non will be justly proud at Reception. Those Nons who have proved their special talents in the regular Thursday afternoon meetings will appear on the Reception program. Every Non, however, will contribute her time , and labor for the success of Re ception. It is in this striving that the Nonpareil travels further toward her goal: the unexcelled woman. Various bills, pertaining to the present conditions of the state and of the nation as a whole, were presented; and a warm and considerate dis cussion was given to each. Some of those attracting the most attention were a recom mendation to the National Gov ernment that the Neutrality Act be repealed in toto. the dis missal of the Lieutenant Gover nor, a protest against Reyn olds of North Carolina and Talmage of Georgia, and the enactment of prohibition. (This bill passed in the Senate but failed in the House.) Perhaps no one other incident in the entire program was more important to those attending than the joint assembly at which time the two Houses were addressed by Governor Broughton and by Secretory of State Thad Eure. Each made known his pleasure with the the art of governing and with attempt of the group to learn the assembly as a whole in the manner that it was being executed. The words of the Governor were especially kind as he commended the attempts to prepare for future service to the state and nation, whether it be in the realm of politics or as private citizens who understand and appreciate the true value of the political element as an instrument of dernocratic people for the se curity of American ideals. SADIE HAWKINS (As yo ken plainlie se) Advice Exchange the rock of Dignity, Simplicity, and Conservatism that we wish to dedicate this article. To those who are resting beneath the Temple of Euthalia, we give a salute and pledge our selves to uphold the ideals of Black and Gold forever. Since all the C-II's hove not been given on opportunity to impart their words of counsel, we are presenting the sugges tions of a few would-be sages. Iris Willis: "Keep in that straight and narrow path or else you 11 see for whom the BeU tolls." Loraine Davenport: "Study hard, but don't let your studies interfere with your pleasure." Reta Vaughn: "The more the merrier. Pick your S.P.'s now." Elaine Delbridge: "In the heart of every C-II there is a placq for you. Can you fill it?" Martha Ervin: "A key to success is to obey all advice given by C-II's, especially in regard to S.P.'s and food." From the response listed be low it would appear that our brilliant C-I class is extremely modest, but we feel sure that time and stimulated mental activity will produce more fiery words of wisdom to help guide the paths of erring C-II's.
