Golden Rule Days:
I firmly believe in positive
thinking, but I am inclined to
believe that making some posi
tive statements verge on “ov
er-extension.”
I proudly announced in an
earlier column that I had ac
quired six quarter hours of
graduate credit that would
place me in good position from
the standpoint of certifica
tion both in North Carolina
and Maryland.
A little added information
took the wind out of my sails.
I needed six semester hours
to be secure. Now it takes
nine quarter hours to make
six semester hours. So, I was
faced with the necessity of go
ing back to school.
A friend informed me that
I could acquqire three quartet
hours in extension work from
the Woman’s College of the
University of North Carolina
on the Asheville-Biltmore
campus. The course to be of
fered would be Public Rela
tions.
Emotionally, psychologically
and financially, I was loath to
return to the scholastic grind.
Building up to completion of
something, I thought I had al
ready completed presented a
bit of a problem.
Mentally, I was dragging
my feet as I drove up Town
Mountain road, stalled on the
very abrupt turn into the A-E

campus, negotiated the wind
ing drive, squeezed through
the tunnel and eased into tin
parking lot.
The first five minutes oi
the class served as a psycho
logical lift. It took me jus1
that long to realize that 1 wa;
involved with a great teacher
superior classmates and £
very worthwhile and interest
ing subject.
So, I’m back in class ant
happv . . . very happv with i'
all.
Meet Our Miss Phillips:
The human element make:
pedagogy come alive. Tin
most important element or
the instructional level, wit!
all respect to buildings, princi
pals, superintendents, tape re
eorders, maps, charts, reeorc
players, etc., is the TEACH
ER'.
Our Miss Carrie Phillip:
keeps our class moving along
in masterful fashion.
In the first place, she is s
most attractive, poised lady
It is hard to believe that slit
is a retired elementary prin
cipal. She is well read anc
reads well. She is getting re
sults without driving, but 1
find myself reading more pro
fessional material than I have
read in a long time.
She stirs up some fervent
fervid class discussions; ir
fact, she gently “eggs” us on
When we get excited and di
gress too far from the subject
she unobtrusively but effic
iently takes over and Presto
we’re back on course.
She gracefully combine:
Head and Heart. Her kind o
instruction could make Quali
ty Education a Reality.
Classmates:
I am interested in my class
mates. They are a varied ant
pleasant group.
Mrs. Helen Alexander, ;
first grade teacher at Sam
Hill, is the only person in thi:
class that was in Guidanci
Course, that I took earlier it
T that
was a friend of old standing
and was glad to see her.
We are seated alphabetical
ly so I am seated between
Mary Sue Brown and Doris
Cole. Both these folks are
most friendly and compatible
and help make the course more
pleasant. Mary Sue used to be
the manager of some of those
formidable Weaverville bask
etball teams starring Gambill
and the Corn sisters; we have
lots to talk about. Mrs. Cole
was originally a Geitzentanner
(I hope I didn’t hear that in
correctly) and is a good friend
of Thelma Payne Smathers.
Anybody that is a friend of
Thelma’s is a friend of mine.
We have a physical educa
tion teacher, a teacher in the
Maryland schools (she’s giv
ing me the inside), two very
nice Negro teachers, a moth
er-daughter combination, a
guidance teacher, first grade
teachers, (just about every
grade is represented, as a
matter of fact), a photograph
ers wife, an outstanding B.T.
U. leader, a young lady that
hasn’t taught but is consider
ing it, a lady “in waiting”
(about October, I believe) ; we
do have a nice variety.
So I have a happy circum
stance. I can learn from my
teacher, my classmates and
the many fine materials that
are being made available. I
feel that I shall be a better
person and better teacher for
this experience.
Castle Perilous:
Since Asheville - Biltmore
College will move from the
mountain this fall, I availed
myself of a guided tour of the
institution. Dean Parsons
showed us around and told us
some interesting facts about
the place.
The late Fred Seely had
this edifice constructed ir
1916, using native stone quar
ried on the premises. The
Castle, as it was once called
is a replica of a building ir
England that attracted Mr
Seeley’s fancy. Certainly, i1
is built in the baronial man
ner. The views from this
place are breath-taking. Yoi
would have to see them to ap
preciate them.
A fireplace in the banquel
hall contains two interesting
stones. One came from tht
Tower of London and was
taken from a wall where Sir
Walter Raleigh liked to lear
during his imprisonment ir
the Tower. Another cam:
from the castle where the fam
ous Blarney Stone reposes. !
thought about kissing this
cousin of the Blarney Stone
however, this would be wast
ing natural resources, and 1
talk too much now.
Space forbids enumeratior
of all the attractions. I re
commend a visit.
If you are feeling real pros
perous, the place is for sale.
I don’t know whether any
ghosts walk the corridors or
not.
Wayfarer:
1 picked up Ted Smith the
other morning, i was so glad
to see him that I forgave him
some of his “contributions”
to English Two last year. \\ e
talked wistfully of how nice
it would be if the singing
group, The Troublesome hour
could come up with a Hit rec
ord. I enjoyed hearing what
some of the “Owen Gang
were doing.
Memos:
Burleson, 1 “Reed” you
loud and clear. I can't lick
you, will ente tain a proposi
tion to “jine you.”
Commiserations to Jack
Greenwood and his Alexander
Graham “Belle.”
Enjoyed tht visit, Blanche,
Boh and Effie. Come again.
Hi, up there in Boone.
Thanks for being so sweet to
my family.
The Trail
I paused at the crest of the
mountain;
Gazed back on the trail below.
Considered what lay behind
me,
And wondered what lay be
fore.
The trail was plain in the sun
light
Winding there it made quite
clear.
That oft the compass was
faulty
And vision distorted by fear.
Were You There?
Swannanoa—The Fire sta
tion is one of the few old build
ings on Whitson Avenue put
to good use. The others
should be torn down or re
modeled. They were useful
businesses once, as a theater,
drug store, Beacon Blanket
doughnut shop, or newstand.
The taxi stand once knew a
cafe, Pete’s Place. Now, that
was way-back, at least twenty
years!
On the corner of South and
Whitson Avenues, Swanna

same spot where a diner and
a shoe shop once stood. The

Rude crosses, stark by the
roadside
Epitaphs to cumbersome pride.
From my vantage high on the

My faults I could scare abide.

I slowly turn to the mountain.
Shoulder my pack and depart.
