William Maye William Maye To Start Dance School By Chuck Holmes Classes in ballet, tap and ballroom dancing will soon be a- vailable to interested persons in the Cullowhee-Sylva area when Western Carolina student William Maye opens the Maye School of Dance. According to Maye, there will be classes for both children and adults. , Maye, now a junior at WCC, has been in the field of dance for over 11 years as a student, performer and teacher. He began his training at the Ruth School of Dance and went from in the Cincinnati Academy of Dance where he studied under MacVestal, director of the academy. Returning to North Carolina, he resumed his studies at the Ruth School. As he continued his training. Maye was privileged to teach at that school. In 1957, Maye appeared as soloist in the Woman's College production of "Oklahoma." In 1958, he presented an original modern ballet entitled ' "Birth, Aspiration and Death" for which he did the chorography, designed the set and performed as soloist. The ballet received critical recognition in the area in which it was performed. Maye has given numerous other performances in the Piedmont section of North Carolina and he belongs to the North Carolina Ballet Society. Maye began his college career at Elon in the spring of 1958. He transferred to WCC at the beginning of 1960 and is continuing his English major and dramatics concentration. In connection with his dramatics concentration, Maye is serving as stage manager for the Little Theatre's winter quarter production, "Ladies In Retirement." Since there is a shortage of studio facilities in Cullowhee, Maye will hold his classes in the home of Mrs. Kathryn McJunk- in Brown at Cullowhee Heights. Specific dates and times for the classes have not been settled, but will be announced in the near future. Persons interested in taking classes in ballet, tap or ballroom dancing may write to William C. Maye, Box 687, Cullowhee, N. C, for details concerning the classes.

You might say it was love at first sight, for we were pinned three weeks after our first date. And in no time we were even talking about getting married when Bill finished graduate school. There had been several fraternity parties the afternoon we got out for vacation. Bill was a Beta so we spent most of our time at the Beta House. We did go to several of the other fraternity houses though, to say good-bye and wish everyone a merry Christmas. I dont' think I had ever been so happy in my life. I was sorry, though, to see that so many of the fraternity brothers had had so much to drink, for I knew that many of them were driving home. Thank goodness I didn't have to worry about Bill. He did drink, but almost never did he have too much. At the time we left he had, of course, after going to the houses, had several drinks, but I know he was all right. We finally got started around 4 o'clock that afternoon and drove for about an hour before it began bad. We had just gone through Philadelphia and were only a few miles from the turnpike which would take us to within a few miles distance to my house. We swung around a short curve. I was horrified to see a car coming toward us on our side of the road. I thought Bill had noticed it, but I guess he hadn't for we went some distance before he put on the brakes and attempted to swerve out of its path. In seconds the other car crashed into us. All I can remember is hearing the shatter ing of glass and screeching of brakes, and seeing the front of our car mangled and smashed as if it were made of tinfoil instead of iron and steel. And I remember seeing Bill slumped over what was left of the steering wheel, pressed on all sides by the wreckage of the car with his face horribly contorted and covered with blood. That was the last time I saw him, for when they took us to the hosiptal he was pronounced It is not difficult to talk a- bout it now, for it has been two the accident, and I am almost completely recovered. Even though I was in a wheel chair for a while, I can now walk almost unaided, except for a small cane which they say I will not need much longer. Now I am getting ready to go back to college this January and finish my senior year. As I look back on all that's happened, I wonder if I have learned anything, if there was any lesson to be learned. But somehow it all seems useless and unfair. It is true that Bill could have been driving a little slower, and that if he hadn't had all those drinks he might have been able to react quicker. But he wasn't really driving too fast and his reactions weren't that slowed to justify all that happened. What a horrible punishment for those insignificant things. I wonder at the injustice of it all, and ask myself how God can allow such things to happen. But inside I know that the accident might have been a- voided, that it was a human failing that caused it. I try not to be bitter, but at times I can't help thinking that I will never walk exactly right, and that the scars will never go away, and that Bill will never come back.

Mrs. William Grady was awakened by a smell of something burning and upon investigation found the couch burning. The Cullowhee Fire Department answered her summons. The fire was thought to have been started by an electric heater sitting too close to the couch. The couch was damaged severly and the room badly smoked.
