Ginger Parker Relates Experiences
Of Life in South American Countries
Ginger Parker, a sophomore who
spent last year with her family
in South America, spoke to a
meeting of La Alianza Espanola
Thursday, October 18.
Ginger’s father. Dr. F. D. Par
ker, a history professor at Wom
an's College, spent a year study
ing South' American history at
various libraries in state capitals.
His family occupied themselves
by mingling with the natives and
learning more about Spanish cul
ture.
School Days
Ginger did not attend school
while she was there, as her fami
ly moved from one capital to an
other. Besides, American schools
are fewan d far between in the
backwoods of the country.
Slides, which were taken by
Ginger’s parents, were also fea
tured at the meeting. A number
of these pictures. Ginger pointed
out, were evidences of an ex
tremely wet season. In a number
of slides the Parker family was
sho'wn fording a river where a
bridge had once been.
Fascinated by Americans
Ginger told the group that the
most striking point brought out
by the trip, surprisingly enough,
concerned the United States. Ail
South Americans, both children
and adults, possess a fervant hope
that someday they will be able
to cross the Rio Grande into the
United States. These peopel de
light in seeing Americans, listen
ing to their speech, and observing
their clothing and mannerisms.
“Indians and their customs
were definitely the most fascinat
ing part of the trip for me,” Gin
ger stated. She added that contrary
to many beliefs, the Indians are
warm and friendly. She said, too,
that the Indians are very colorful
in dress and that they do display
a profound interest in the United
States.
Ginger told the group that the
year in another country made her
more appreciative of her own
government. The governments are
very unstable in .most South
American countries, and conse
quently street riots occur frequent
ly. Ginger said the most exciting
thing that happened to her during
the year concerned these riots.
While she was alone, in the house
one night, a riot, in which six
students were killed and others
wounded, took place a few blocks
from her home. “It was a terrible
feeling knowing that they wer
so near.”
The next meeting of La Alianza
Espanola will take place Novem
ber 11 at Anne Stone’s home.
Surprised Hazelman
Is Presented Plaque
October 28 the Senior High
Concert Band gave a program
which will long be remembered
by Herbert Hazelman, the band
director.
On the downbeat of ‘The King
and I,”, which opens with a tre
mendously loud chord from the
band, Mr. Hazelman gave the
usual beat but not a sound emerged
from the band.
Although this may have seemed
like mutiny, the purpose was to
honor Mr. Hazelman, who has
completed 20 years of teaching in
the Greensboro City Schools and
is starting on his 21st.
As soon as the misfired down-
beat occurred, David Arner, as
sistant director, hurried on stage
to announce what was happening.
He brought with him telegrams
and letters sent by students, past
and present, of Mr. Hazelman, a
new march, and a gold oboe reed.
David Miller, senior and chief
librarian of the band, presented
the band director with a plaque
to be hung in the new Music
Building.
After the concert, open house
was conducted in the new buildir
where refreshments were served
to all who attended the concert.
