Speaker at Keysville KEYSVILLE Dr. Francis B. Simkins delighted the Keysville Woman's Club as guest speaker. -akmg as his topic "The European 1 situation.. Democracy and Peace." Someone has said it is always an ungrateful task to pinch-hit for a speaker who has been anticipated with interest. But Mrs. C. W. Hawthorn, chairman of education, was particularly fortunate in securing Dr. Simpkins to replace Dr. Keener C. Prazer. of the University of North Carolina, who was prevented by illness from addressing the club Wednesday of .ast week. Dr. Keener requested Ih; t he be representd by his friend Dr Simpkins. teacher of history and government at State Teachers College. Farmville. who is also a member of the Southern Council of International Relations. The doctor spoke most interestingly shewing a broad study of his topics. He stressed that the countries of Europe were not at each jthers throats as newspaper headlines and the radio were leading people to believe. Hostesses for the social hour were Mesdames W. E. Hailey. W. M Hailey. F. H. Gee. and J. T. Baldwin.
ly, the talking stopped and the girls were transformed into wellknown personalities. Rosa Coulter. Beverly Blair and Norma Pamplin. in the trio. m a McklenGip.y-Stallaid manner tried to decide upon a setting for a photograph while Dot Pel kins, ypically Blackwell, put people to bed.

And then, no one can make an announcement quite like Jack Cock when she's "Moomaw" unless it's Patsy "Jenny" Fletcher And to top it ofT, there was Virginia Howell singing in the true Keesee manner. "They Say" it was swell while it lasted but Sophomore Sing had to end sometime.

"You have Tom." Stannie reminded her. "Yes. but he's not Michael." "Neither is Barry Eric." said Stannie, and turned into the room again. "Barry loves me with his whole heart; I love him a little. Erie loves me not at all; I love him mure than —than I can bear at times " "I think you and Eric were born for each other," said Dulcie. "I'd like to put dynamite in his soup." Stannie laughed. "Anything would be better than this tangle," she said. "1 might write to them both, and say to Barry that I loved him a little, and to Eric that I was going to marry Barry. And then I'd have a wedding, and as the organ began to play. I'd llart clown the aisle—wondering which one I was to meet at the end." "You would be like that!" laughed Dulcie. "A sort of 'The Lady or the Tiger' idea." "Listen to this," said Stannie. and went to the desk, where she wrote a (hurt note: "Dear Eric; To love Is to remember. As you have forgotten me. I know that your love is a thing of the past. Tonight, I am going to meet my future husband. Just as the moon rises, I shall pass by the crossroads. Will you meet me by the old signpost and say good-by? If you do not come, I ahall marry the man who loves me." Alone in the moonlight, Stannie gazed down the road that led to Barry's house—the road beside the river—and then down the road that Eric would have taken to meet her. It was grass-grown and wooded. and far at the end of the dim arch of trees, a star was shining. This road was like a long, leafy aisle, and a fragrance came to Stannie on the soft evening breeze. "Flowers like that," she s.nd, "along the aisle—and at the end—" There was no one near. She stood quite alone, and in a moment the would go down the river road to Barry.

The Senior Class-a green and whit eclass won the song contest that was held In chapel this morning. This song wil lbe the varsity song of this year and it will be used by the whole school ;.t the game on Friday night. Frankie Bryan and Bunnie Yonce wrote the music and words to the new blue and white song. The sister green and white colors the Sophomores, won honorable mention for their song which was written by Nell Hall and Beverly Blalr. The red and white songs were written by Jane Hardy, who wrote the words and music for the Junior song and Helen Wentz and Mae Wentz. who wrote the freshman class song. The songs were judged for their originality and usability. Miss Houck. Miss Barlow and Mr. Holton served as judges. Barry would forgive her this fare well to lost dreams; he had known the same. But now she was going to make his come true, and he was worthy of it. It was good to be loved by a man like him. And then a hand touched her shoulder. Not a rough hand, but a kind one. firm and gentle. Stannie, her heart beating furiously, knew suddenly that fate had taken matters out of her hands. The man she was to marry was beside her, and would be waiting for her at the end of the aisle But she had heard no footsteps. By which road had he come? Was it Barry or Eric? And then she turned around. Cures for Little Ilia Lord Dawson of Penn once said that "the quickest way to get better is to forget you are ill." That advice is sound and worth a whole bathful of medicine, asserts a writer in Pearson's London Weekly. How we do like to nurse our little ailments, don't we? Whereas, if we would only think in terms of health, many of our minor complaints would vanish. Psychology teaches us this truth. It also teaches us that we can think ourselves into sickness, and remain sick as long as we let our minds dwell morbidly on our stale of health.
