hoMM of Vision
Daisy Smith, junior at Western
C? rolina Teachers College, is mak
ing an outstanding record in schol
astic and extra curricula despite
the handicap of total blindness.
Her college life differs very little
from that-of her schoolmates with
the exception that Daisy has one
friend and companion that never
deserts her? her Leader Dog, Ace,
and another friend, Blythe Hamp
ton, who is her reader.
Daisy has made high grades
throughout her college work and
takes an active part in the social
and club activities of the school.
She is a resident of Moore dormi
tory and, while pets are not an ac
cepted thing in college dormitories,
Ace goes right along to school and
in the dormitory with his mistress.
She met him in Rochester, N. Y.
where she spent a six-weeks train
ing period with him.
Daisy, a neat blonde, is a musici
an, an accomplished typist, can op^_
erate a stenotype, and has instruct
ed in Braille, the written language
of the blind. Hear early education
was received in Raleigh and at
the completion of her work at
WCTC she will enter the Univer
sity of North Carolina, where she
will do work preparatory to a
career in social welfare.
Her buoyant personality and
cheerful disposition are attested by
her popularity among fellow stu
dents and teachers. It was an ac
cident at the age t)f three that de
prived her of her sight. One eye
was injured and during the follow
ing years she gradually lost the
vision of the other. But the loss of
her vision gave Daisy a determina
tion to excell in the life she has
chosen for herself and this she has
done quite successfully. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Smith of Sylva.

FIFTH GRADE HAS
NEGRO MINSTREL
On Thursday afternoon of last
week Miss Cunningham's fifth
grade students presented a chapel
program that was very unusual for
elementary school children.
After seeing the negro minstrel
presented by the Lions Club a few
weeks ago, the children of this
grade had wanted to try to pro
duce one. Miss Cunningham agreed
and wrote a minstrel suitable for
the children. Mrs. Grover Wilkes
assisted with the musical num
bers.
Kenneth Gillis acted as inter
locutor and each child had a part
in the minstrel which was made
up of piano selections, vocal solos,
dances, recitations, stories, jokes,
and a negro sermon by .Jimmy
Stovall on the text, "Old ^Mother
Hubbard's Bare Cupboard."
All the children were dressed
in costumes to suit the parts played
by them.
National 4-H Club Week began
March 1 and will end March 9.
