  • THE CULLOWHEE YODEL New Interpretations Of Meaning Of Vacation Dear Editor: I apologize for my subject, which I have chosen to style, "Vacation And Things," as the colored minister did for repeating his text. "The reason I repeat," he said at the beginning of his sermon, "is that you may get it well in mind because I don't expect to refer to it again." So it is with me. Fearing I could not stick to the word, "vacation," I have added "and things" to cover all that would not apply to the subject you would have me write about. Webster defines vacation as "a rest." While I do not feel capable of criticizing a renowned scholar, yet I cannot, from my own experience and from a close observation of others, agree with him. I have found vacations to be anything but rests. To the little boy in his jeans and early teens, it means a short session of "kat ball" and the "ole swimmin' hole." Truly, these are the noisiest and busiest days of his life. To the farmer's son it means that "Hie, haec, hoc," must give away to "Gee, whoa, haw, Buck." To the teacher it affords an opportunity to spend the year's wages in preparation for another term; and to the preacher the necessary time to outline a new series of sermons. If you mention vacation to the tired office man, he immediately sees visions of a steel rod and a can of worms. What rest is there wading a mountain stream all day long, wet, hungry, tired, and your shoes full of sand, when you catch nothing but a cold? To me vacation days are very disappointing. I have found far more real pleasure in the anticipation than in the realization. How can one be carefree and jovial when memories of Cullowhee and classmates crowd out all else? I want the old "gang" back; I want to be asked if my actions "show refinement," and be cautioned against any act that "would reflect on the group as a whole." Again, I want to be back in the old Columbian Society Hall and hear "Fat" Lefler "save American civilization," or "Corn" Taylor repeal the protective tariff. In short, I miss it all; grits, hash, library periods, chapel talks on Astronomy, Sunday dates, picnic hikes, and all that contribute to the student life there. Also, I am by no means resting. If vacation means a rest, then I am not having a vacation. Surely Mr. Webster is wrong. I have questioned many, and all seem to have the same opinion. Mrs. Jones, our neighbor, says she does not remember, but if she ever had a vacation it must have been before Henry Jones decided he would make a good husband. After that time she never had a moment's rest until she said "yes." Uncle Bill, who is a Baptist preacher, writes: "I have never had a rest, but have often had vacations." Sim Smith, who lives on the creek, said: "I don't try to grow vacations on my place. It is too darned hot, and, besides, there is nothing but a city 'dude' that, can eat them, according to my farm journal." My dad says vacations are like patent medicines, recom- PERSONALS (Cont'd from page 7) Mrs. Muriel Joslin went to Canton for a week-end visit at her home during the latter part of June. Mr. C. R.

Miss Nannie Pritchard recently visited Wilma Campbell at her home in Maggie. Misses Clara McCombs, Emily Sword, and Gene Johnson, spent last week-end in Sylva.

Wade Alexander has accepted a position for next winter in the Normal School faculty as Director of the Demonstration School. Mr. Alexander is now a graduate student at Peabody College. Miss Rosa Tinder, who has had charge of cafeteria work in the Richard J. Reynolds High School, of Winston-Salem, has been Dietitian at the Normal during the First Summer School.
