We mean this welcome we are extending to you. Soon we will be alumni of this college— soon we shall have only our dreams and our memories. I wonder if you look down at ^.nd Stage and remem- fricnic supper when you werJXi reshman. Aral 3oyouH look at the new Boys Dormi- mitory and still see Old Madison with its Homecoming Dance and Basketball tournaments. Do you remember Lake James? The Student Union Building now stand on that romantic spot. Maybe you sat there after lunch with Mary. The building where once you were a P. T. is no more used for that purpose. There is a new building on the curve—a lovely new building. So many things have changed, but one thing will never be altered — the "Cullowhee Spirit." Everyone knows this spirit of kindness and friendliness. You are our background, our proof and our aid, alumni. You support our Catamounts, you are older brothers and listers. We admire you and vou are welcome to Western Carolina Teachers College. Editor. THROUGH THE Campus Key Hole By ROSE ROLAND Three weeks have passed! The freshmen of course feel that it has been three months, the sophomores three days and to Bobby Colville three years. Sometimes it seems a sin the way he moons around for the "Angel" of Walnut. It is very evident that the man of the hour is the Elliott Child. With three to five girls clamoring for dates, I don't see how he gets in his studies, football, and personality girl in Sylva. Have you heard the Bird chirp? Have you heard her tickle the ivories? No? Well, see you at the gym about 3:30 any ole day. At last unmovable Messer has looked at a girl. Like Shorty, he's swamped now. If Burleson and Patton don't move him, both being irresistable girls, he is doomed to bachelorhood. The trip to Asheville last Saturday by the Halcyon Chorus was enjoyed very much. The only boner oulled was when luncheon was announced on the roof, DeLozier said WHAT DOES THIS BUILDING MEAN? What does this building mean to you? Nothing at all important, unless its foundation, laid deep in living rock and solid concrete, suggests that Truth is the only foundation on whidh you can build an enduring life- What does this building mean to you? Nothing at all important, unless its superstructure, over-arched and under-giVHeTwitiTsteirT, teach' es you that Character, and Character alone, will hold you* life together and enable you to stand "four-square to all the winds that blow." What does this buildimg mean to you ? Nothing at all important, unless its interior, beautiful and immaculate as it it, persuades you to keep free from all stain tthe white-walled corridors of your own heart. What does this building mean to you? Nothing at all important, unless its symetri cal whole, revealing the clear purpose of those who conceived and built it, reminds you that a noble purpose, nobly executed, and this alone, will make your life both beautiful and successful. If I could rise above "the smoke and stir of this dim spot that men call earth," and drop you a message from above the clouds as you leave this auditorium to inspect the building, it would be this: "Except the Lord of Truth, and Beauty, and Righteousness build the house, they labor in vain that build if—T.

The mountains like a rainbow's hue, Are bathed in the sunset's gold, While dusty roads wind out of view, Fields of golden-rod gently infold. Red apples hang from burdened trees, And the harvest is gathered within; Then I feel the cool twilight breeze, So I hurry home for supper's begin. Oh, brilliant fall that spread: around, Why should it quickly fade away' Fall is Mother Nature's loveliest Why wear winter's dress of somb gray? Does fall mean all this to you? You'll admit; this autumn splendor Washington's Parents Both of George Washington's parents were born in this country. Augustine Washington, father of George, was born in 1694 in Washington parish, a place near where Bridges creek falls into the Potomac. He was married to Mary Ball, his second wife, and mother of his distinguished son, Mafch 6, 1731. She was born In 1707, and probably in that vicinity, as biographers of her son state that she spent her childhood in that part of Virginia. ^SOCl ETY A group of girls from the Halcyon Chorus and Shubert Glee Club went to Asheville last Saturday to the North Carolina Music Club meeting held at the Battery Park Hotel.

Noah Noah, of Hebrew origin, means "rest," but the original Noah didn't have much of it. He needs no introduction. Noah Webster (1758-1843) has Rood claim to be called the most eminent Noah of modern history. Born in Hartford, Conn., he was a teacher, lawyer, publisher and author (of various grammatical'works) before devoting 10 years to the study of the English language preparatory to the issuance in 18^8 of his "American Dictionary of the English Language," since amplified and revised innumerable times Webster was also one of the founders of Amherst Worst Eai luiiiake The worst earthquake on record occurred In 1556 in China.

Characteristic is its fondness for lying under logs and In woodpiles. It hunts by night and hides by day. Thick forests are its favorite home. When coiled, the copperhead resembles a small pile of copper-red and brown leaves. The Law of Lek The Law of Lek is a strange code that governs the blood feuds of the mountaineers of Albania, asserts Collier's. Respecting it, one never shoots his enemy when the man has arranged for a period of truce so he can go to town, hold a party or gather his harvest. These feuds, therefore, may be "turned on or off" at will io they will not interfere with one's busihess or pleasure. hind the Seen in HOLLYUIOOI Greatest Man Hunt The most extensive man hunt In history was for the three De Autre- mont brothers who held up a mail train In Oregon on October 11, 1923. says Collier's. Not only were circulars In a hundred languages sent throughout the world, but special descriptions of their teeth went to dentists, of their watches to jewelers, of their eye-glasses to oculists and of their literary tastes to librarians. They were captured In 1927 after a search that cost $500.- 000.

By HARRISON CARROLL King Feature HOLLYWOOD—Though assured there is no immediate danger of his being summoned to Europe,, David Niven has asked Samuel Goldwyn to complete aU his scenes In "Raffles" within 16 days. The company will work extra shifts to do it. In all the stew over the c a neellation and sudden rescheduling o f this picture, everybody has overlooked a very funny in- Harrison Carroll cident When Goldwyn de- , cided to take a chance and resume shooting, Niven was In Catallna having a farewell party. The studio call reached him In the bar at the SL Catherine. He had 15 minutes to make the plane, so he didn't stop for anything . . . rushed there In his swimming shorts, and was still wearing them when he reported at the studio for work. Niven has been out of the army for six years. His regiment was I the Highland Light Infantry and ! he'll probably return to it when | the word eventually comes. ! Got a chance for a few words with Olivia de Havilland on the "Raffles" set She says Joan Fontaine lives In horror of Brian Aherne being called for duty. He' an experienced pilot and would be in line for the air service. Errol Flynn la back In town. His absence over the week-end was ! the excuse for Lili Damita to ; throw one of Hollywood's most unusual parties. She Invited 24 guests to meet aboard the Sirocco. All were husbands and wives, whose mates were out of town. It's being shushed but the reason , Charles Laughton was out of "The | Hunchback" cast for two days was an accident, In which he was j struck by the 150-pound clapper ! of a bell. The star suffered a ! broken blood vessel in his left arm I and a severely bruised shoulder. Sonja Henie's picture, "Everything Happens at Night," has started. It is the first time that the big ice rink at the studio has not been ready for her. Zanuck Is enlarging the ics plant so that the rink can be frozen In 22 hours instead of 78.

Heretofore, the rink wouldn't stay frozen under the hpat of technicolor lights. Many pictures now in production ill face changes due to the war. In M-G-M's "Remember," there was a line in which Taylor said: un sailing for Europe tonight my honeymoon." It will be changed to "I'm sailing for South America, etc." Warner's cancellation of "Underground" was a foregone conclusion in view of America's neutrality. Jack Warner told the press: "We will make no more pictures that will cause hate in other countries." However, the studio will go through with the construction of its $400,000 sound stage especially equipped for the making of sea pictures. It can be used not only for "The Sea Hawk" but also for "Captain John Paul Jones," "The Sea Wolf" and "Captain Horatio Hornblower." Don't miss "Honeymoon in Ball." It's one of the slickest comedies in years . . . mostly talk, but so amusing that you don't notice the anticlimaxes In the plot. ... So risque, too. The picture will be a terrific boost for four-year-old Carolyn Lee, whose father, an executive of the Wheeling Steel company, simply will have to relent now and let her continue on the screen. The film will work wonders for Osa Massen, too. She Is everything that Simone Simon was supposed to be. ... Of course, you know that she has been married since last December to Jean Hersholt's son, Allen. But I bet even Paramount doesn't know what a good athlete she Is. Among other things, she was runner-up for the aquaplane championship of Denmark. Well, you have to admit that Hollywood makes good on Its boast of couples remaining friendly after divorce. . . . The other night at the Troc, Herbert Marshall and Lee Russell dined with Edna Best and Nat Woolf. Ringslders also included El ward Sutherland and Edwina Mandell and Audrey Sutherland and Addison Randall. . . . Bill Hopper Is still plaguelng Ann Evers to come back from Broadway and marry him. . . Giuseppe Bamboschek came all the way to California to accompany Jeanette MacDonald when she records her first album of concert music. . . . Don't be surprised If Universal also puts Gloria Jean's four-year- old sister In the films. . . . They finally got Lena Turner Into an airplane (she flew down from San Francisco) and now she wants to get a pilot's license.

Early Miniature* Early miniatures were painted on playing cards, cardboard and paper. Vellum was also employed, but Ivory was not used until the middle of the Seventeenth century. There are known examples painted on canvas and linen and even the metals—gold, silver, copper and brass, but they are not common. Porcelain was another material used. Painting in oils was practically discontinued early in the Seventeenth century. Water colors and chalk were the usual medium from then on. The first quarter of the Nineteenth century marked the zenith of miniature painting. It began to decline when photography wa* invented.
