' THIS ABOVE ALL, by ERIC KNIGHT Reviewed by Mary McDaniel Clive had lived through the heroic evacua- tion of Dunkirk and had seen the war come to England. In the midst of this chaos, he met Prudence Cathaway, an attractive girl in the W.AA.F. The experiences that they shared are not unusual; that is, such things do occur in war time. They are to be expected. This love story, however, is not of prime importance in the book. It is subordinate to the reason why Clive wanted to desert the army. Eric Knight, the author of This Above All, is speaking for a vast number of English- men who, like Clive would like to ask, For what? when they are told to fight. Clive was only one of many. His background was typ- ical. He saw nothing in his past, present, or future that was worth risking his life to save. He fought for England, it is true, but what was England? To Clive Briggs, England was hunger, class distinction, rotten government, poverty, and illegitimacy. And he was tired of fighting for it. Prue saw England as something vastly dif- ferent. Through her, Clive was convinced that even though England has made mis- takes and has grievous faults, there is much to be desired in England, and he should fight for that. To Prue, England was Shakespeare — and thatched roofs — and the countryside. It was the Cliffs of Dover, freedom of speech, the sound of a taxi horn, the sense of fair play — the intangibles — their heritage. England was Clive and the boys lying in Douai. . . . For whatever you are, blood and bone and mind and heart and spirit, England has made you — every part of you. Thus Eric Knight presents the issues of the present war. He shows us why thousands of Clives are fighting in spite of the fact that what we have is not satisfactory. They fight for their heritage, a new and better country in which to live. Through one character, Prentiss Saintby, Knight portrays the British feeling toward America. Through others, criticism is given of the church in England. In writing This Above All, Eric Knight has done outstanding work. If he has led one person to see that England is not only fight- ing to defend her ancient liberties, but also to bring to birth the new and better England that is yet to be, he has fulfilled his purpose. ON THE CAMPUS Continued from page seventeen STAG SUPPER The Phi Kappa Fraternity held a stag supper in Rocky Mount, on May 15. It was given in honor of its four members, Ben Askew, J. P. Tyndall, Guy Dixon, and A. C. Young, who are graduating this spring. A.C.I.S. ELECTS NEW OFFICERS The Atlantic Co-Educational Society has elected new officers for next year as follows : Mabel Dodd, president; Marie Thornton, vice president; Christine Barfield, secretary; and Pearl Smith, treasurer. As a part of a nationwide drive to collect needed clothes for war torn areas, the Gol- den Knot Honor Society sponsored a success- ful local drive, on April 24, in cooperation with the Wilson County clothing drive. Davis Hardison led the religious chapel program on May 2. Those taking part on the program were Beula Raspberry and Mary McDaniel, who read two letters, one from Johanan, the other from Zacchaeus, about their meeting with Jesus. Recent visitors on the campus included Charlotte Ruth Gray, Rella Pace, Ruby Da- vis, Lottie Vann, Myrtle May, Grace Hill, Ada Katheryn Coor, Lois Webb, Earle Wil- liams Hardison, Victoria Williamson, and Miriam James. 20
