’“Thank you Doctor” was a play
of a slightly different nature from
the other plays given by the Play
Production Class, Mary Edith
Duncan as Mrs. Norman Lester
played very well the role of a
pearl thief. Charlie Vann as Den
ny Cort, who was taken to be
Mrs. Lester’s insane brother, play
ed hia part well, and added hu
mor to the comedy. Each charac
ter was well fitted to the part he
played. Melton Valentine as Doc
tor Gurney, a brain doctor, had to
be prompted several times, mak
ing awkward pauses. Otherwise
the play went on smoothly. In
several places, however, the action
was so swift, the audience failed
to get the words of the characters.
Special mention should be giv
en to Milton Jenkins who so ex
cellently played the role of the de
tective. His humorous speeches
and comical actioas kept the au
dience laughing throughout the
play.
The Finished Product
Wnen we look at a finished pro-
■W'( -we seldom think of the ma-
ioihJ. from which it is made or
itiie processes it has been through
jii its making. Each i)rocess and
ingredient causes a change in
Ui? material which is to be the
ifini.'.hed product.
Yesterday I visited the Smith-
J>>iglaR5 Fertilizer Factory in
Mui freesboro. I was impressed
the numerous ingredients and
the differs.at processes in the man-
nifacture of fertilizer. On my right
WAS a bin af soda while on my left
M’a. a vat of blood. As I moved
oBr I passed bins of ground pea-
riuU, bones, rooks, .clay, leather
evui numerous other things.
II it occured to you that stu-
donU go through many processes
aii.l are influenced each day? Each
!I>?i-son with whom he comes into
c(>rfact adds to his make-up just
a", cach ingredient adds to tlie fer-
t;fixer. “I am a part of all that
I h,\ve met,” says the graduate.
Artliough the student forgets al-
sH'K.t ever5^:hing that he learns, he
j'> infTueiioed daily by the things
ho .studies and the professors of
hi.-; courses. It is impossible to
count the things in the i>erson-
«*Uy of the teacher alone which
•night influence the student in his
rmlring. Daily he is being put to
and daily something new is
to his make-up.
Fo' four years our Seniors have
W'05 lt?l unaware of the daily
fii.Tiiges which have taken place
in, t!iem. From the timid little
I'l'.T.hmeTi of four years ago, they
hirvT? growm. to the dignified Sen-
Sn.., the finished product of which
are proud.
Make A Vacation Pie
Tn the course of events, the
has arrived for schools to
sirH>fn(i work and enjoy a vaca-
ti-wi during the summer months
I'firU tliought is no doubt upmost
in your mind, but have you giv-
iw- *>y serious thcwght to a way
of spending the summer? If you
have not made definite plans, try
this one. Everyone likes to be
different, so get a little kick out of
your vacation and save it from be ■
ing too humdrum. How? Make
your vacation life a cherry pie!
First of all, you want a sound
basis for your pie—a crust. Make
it crisp but substantial with an al-
loted amount of work. After all
you do not want to get out of the
habit entirely. Too much rest
alone might do as much harm as
too much work. Moreover, work
may be a relief only in the fact
that it is a variation from the re
gular type, which you are just
finishing.
For the most important part of
your vacation pie, you need an ex
act and careful recipe. The cher
ries may be furnished by play.
They must be good, sound cher
ries, however, and used at the
right time. Make your pie sweet
l>y helping others in your play,
and spice it w'ith truth and sin
cerity.
Another important element in
making the concoction is that of
correct timing. By this is meant
of course, when applied to you
get the right amount of sleep and
rest. Do not forget that the ener
gy which will be restored to you
must be kept for activities when
tile vacation is ended.
After you have browned the pie
in the heat of frankness—put it in
the air to cool, and its rich flavor
will be an ample reward to you.
Your vacation will be a success.
CLASS PULLS FAST

college.
Soon after the crowd gathered
at the park, members of the
Freshmen class with their presi
dent, Marjorie Mitchell, at, the
head, served a picnic lunch which
consisted of egg, relish, banana
and raisin sandwiches, pickles, de
viled eggs, lemonade and cakes.
Revelle and Brett
Entertain Seniors
Have you ever in your wildest
imagination pictured a class made
up of your college faculty, with
the president thrown in for good
measure? Could you teach a clas:
that ranged from Miss Schaible,
Miss Wittingihill, and Miss Garrett
on the front to Dr. Edwards, look
ing mischievous, on the very back
row?
Well, Maxine Fillyaw, student
professor in the commercial de
partment, did not have this exact
problem, but she did have to grade
a set of papers which vrere endors
ed boldly with professors’ signa
tures. She received the paper from
Students after a recent test in
S'horthand, and although she did
her best, she could not grade her
class.
The difficulty lay in the fact that
symbols in shorthand can not be
recognized and classified as in
dividual longhand. Therefore she
was able to assign to the faculty
name a grade (all of which were
below passing), but she could not
discover the identity of the stu
dent who had written it.
Maxine perceived the truth im
mediately. Her class had been
caught napping by the test, and in
order to hide their lack of knowl
edge on the particular day, they
got together and decided on this
method of evading a zero. Their
teacher, realizing the futility of
grading the papers and also the
disgrace of failing the faculty,
threw them into the wastebasket
The next day the students smil
ed as if they knew a tremendous
joke, but their little comedy was
made a tragedy when they learn
ed that, in addition to the regular
work, the test was to be repeated.
A four course dinner party was
given to the Seniors by Mrs. Char
lie Revelle and Mrs. Stanley Brett,
mothers of the Senior mascots Al
lison Brett and John Page Revelle,
Wednesday evening. May 15th at
Red Apple.
The Seniors and Senior sponsor.
Miss Hight were met at Red Apple
by the mascots and their mothers.
The dining room was arranged
for the occasion. On the table
large bowls of colored ragged
robbins formed the center piece
carrying out the Senior colors.
The place cards resembling a di
ploma contained not only the per
son’s name, but also an humorous
prophecy of the future of the per
son.
During the evening each Senior
v/as given a chance to write a
wish in each mascot's “Wish
Book.”
lor guy! She surely did try to keep
that a secret. Never mind, we
will wish you luck at finding a
man at summer school.
I’ll admit that Wilma is sorta
dumb, but I did give her a little
credit until she confessed on Eng
lish class that she just didn’t un
derstand the “modern love.”
Now I know that Scotchie is a
capable girl but can she handle
two dates at once? Evidently she
made some arangements, for she
is still living through the mix-up
with the Wake Forest knight and
local radio man.
Lib Shaw says she got Hamburg
and Java on her radio, but Martha
Yates won’t believe you can de
liver groceries on the thing.
Senior Column
Do you remember four years
ago.
Evelyn Blanchard, home-sick,
going home every week-end. (We
prophesied she would learn to
stay up here and like it).
CAMPUS THROUGH THE
KEYHOLE
“Thank You Doctor’
Presented In Auditorium
“Thank you Doctor,” a one-act
play t>y Gilbert Emer, was pre
sented Saturday evening, April 27,
in the college auditorium, under
the direction of Miss Cora Felton
Bass, a member of the play pro
duction class.
Melton Valentine as Dr. Gurney
was supported by the following
cast: Mary Edith Duncan, Mrs.

GERMAN CLASS
IS ENTERTAINED
“Selir Gut!”—which is German,
meaning “very good!” expressed
the sentiments of the college Ger
man class when they were enter
tained at a dinner May 14, by
their professor, Miss Sarah E
Martin.
The girls in the class, who are
Cora Felton Bass, Inez Wiloughby
and Evelyn Blanchard, were treat
ed to fried chicken and strawberry
shortcake as served by Mrs. Babb.
The meal was tastefully arranged
on a private table in the College
Inn dining room.
When dinner was over the class
enjoyed an interesting conversat
ion with some of the tourists who
were stopping at the College Inn.
JUNIORS ENJOY
FRESHMAN TREAT
Wednesday night, May 1, was a
gala day for the Juniors for it was
on that day that their Sister Class
the freshmen, entertained them at
a picnic at Hillcrest Park.
The party assembled in front of
the dormitory at six o’clock and
hiked in a group to Hillcrest Park
which is about a mile from the
All good things must end, so it
is with grief (?) that I sit me
down to end my great career of
columnist for all the dear key-
hole-pee'pers. This really is the
last time. So what?
There’s goinfe to be a lot of
cracked or broken hearts around
May 28. Mary Jane will have to
buy more adhesive tape to patch
up those busted by the “sad, sad,
griefs of parting.” Oh well, this
love business is just a racket any
way.
It looked for a while as if we
weren’t even going to be able to
get away, with all the detours and
cloised streets around here.
Speaking of streets, Lucy Boone
Freeman has discovered a great
fact. The other day while she was
walking down the new street, she
figured out, all by hersielf, why
the men who built the road left
cracks in the concrete. Accord
ing to Lucy Boone, it is to put tar
in. Maybe she’s forgotten that
concrete expands.
Barbara Bunch is going to be a
society girl. She was wondering
just the other day when she ought
to make her debunte.
Do you remembee the picture in
the last Chowanian of the nymphs
to be used in the moving picture,
“Midsummer Night’s Dream?”
Maxine Fillyaw wanted to know
whether they were going to be in
the May Day!
All these parties, picnics,
“weenie” roasts, etc., at Hillcrest
Park have given the mosquitoes
food for thought. When I went
down there, I got only twelve, by
actual count. How’m I doin’?
By-the-way, the “kid party” in
honor of Lib Parker and Scotchie
Duncan was cute. It made quite a
hit. Now I wonder if those girls
have remote control? Anyway,
their Wake Forest “best beaus’’
paid them a birthday call.
Mabel studying all the time,
never going up town, and never,
never dating.
Inez getting 95 on everything
and if she dropped below—well,
this year she will take a 75 and
like it.
Catherine so much in love with
Gilbert.
Wilson dating Catherine’s room
mate, Selma Davis.
Cora Felton with long hair and
a much more sedate appearance
than she has now when she’s sup
posed to be dignified.

much. She is still the first to

But we will remember a long
