Anything Goes lVIarga1'f-t Carin WITI-I ONLY one day left till the junior prom and my being without a partner, my whole world was slowly collapsing. I still can't imagine how I lived through that horrid time. Secretly, I planned all sorts of deaths. I imagine, had I de- cided which was the most glorious and dramatic, I would be sharing Romeo wr wee I v .h 1931.

I can't very well say it actually Worked out, but, anyhow, it tried. just as I was leaving study hall, my younger brother's friend meekly asked me to go to the prom with him. With all due respects to the masculine crea- tures roaming the world, I shall refrain from calling him a boy. Instead, I shall refer to him as a child, which almost every freshman is, and therefore place the blame on the human race. I-Iis hide- ous ears flapped gently as his nose tried desperately to hide in the oddest caverns of his face. Maybe I thought this the most dramatic of all deaths and then again maybe I was under some evil spell but somehow, for a lack of excuses and poisons, I said, Yes, For the rest of the day if anyone mentioned the dance, I slowly edged my way out. I couldn't let them know in advance the terrible state I was in. When I got home, I thought how ap- propriate this dance could have been if only it was a masquerade. All I could hope for now were a pair of earmuffs to cover those hideous projections of his or a sudden growth of hair to cre- ate a forest and block his ears from view. When the night came, though, I 6 STQINGHA N realized neither had happened. I-Ie just stood, like something sticky and col- lapsible until I was ready to leave. It wasn't until we got outside that I no- ticed the high zippered galoshes and sixteen rib umbrella. I-Ie must have felt my inspection for he answered my gaze by saying: Mother expects we'll have some rain tonight. This seemed incredible, not only be- cause the sky was clear and cloudless, but also because we were in the middle of a draught. After that brief sentence, we walked past one green, two brown, and four white houses in utter silence, And then we entered into a gay conversation all about our marks for the last three months. Right then and there I decided to jump in front of the next car that passed rather than go to the dance with him. Thank heavens no car passed for quite a While as this gave me time to realize if I did that he might die with me. Of course, the idea was appealing but suppose they put us in the same funeral parlor? Then I began to pray that no one would notice us as we ap- proached the school.

Strictly Vocal Connie Bentivegiia lN RECENT years, the separation be- tween western, hillbilly, and popular music has become less notable. Sing- ers such as Tennessee Ernie, l-lank Williams, Eddie Arnold, Bed Foley and Pee Wee King are not only pleasing western music lovers but popular mu- sic lovers as well. Many of these en- tertainers have appeared as guests on the Arthur Godfrey Show, the Ezio Pinza Show and the Perry Como Show, the latter having most to his credit. Perry Como has made several west- ern recordings himself. Among them are Bolling Stone, You Don't Know What Lonesome ls, and Tumbling Tumbleweed. l-lere's a bit of information l'll bet is news to you. Did you know that 'iTen- nessee Waltz was a composition of Pee Wee King's? Pee Wee also wrote the popular song, Slowpoke. This was 'lnumber one on the popular as well as the hillbilly hit parade, which is quite an accomplishment in itself. 'Lovesick Blues, l-ley Good Look- ing, and Cold Cold Heart are com- positions of l-lank Williams' that have also made good on both sides. Floyd Tillman's Slipping Around made a big impression on both hit tallies too and was followed by sequals to the same tune: x'l'll Never Slip Around Again and 'Slipping Around With lole Blon. Eddie Arnold is a young folk singer with a voice which pleases both folk and popular music followers. Eddie's biggest hit, which sold over a half mil- lion copies, was Cattle Call. Some time ago, a young singer by the name of Lefty Erizzell took the folk field by storm with one of his own com- positions, lf You've Got The Money, l've Got the Time. This was backed by 'il Love You A Thousand Ways. Both sides of this disc immediately be- came hits. Lefty skyrocketed to the top and subsequently recorded l Want to Be With You Always and Always Late With Your Kisses. A fellow who was around for quite a while but never seemed to make the grade was l-lank Snow. Then he re- corded l'm Moving On. Hank rose to the top, his record in the number one slot on the hillbilly hit parade for a notable amount of time. Golden Rocket and Bhumba Boogie soon followed with the same results, This may be immaterial, but did you ever notice some of the titles on these hillbilly songs? For instance, l've Got Tears ln My Ears From Lying on My Back in My Bed While l Cry Over You, l Ought to Wear a Tail and Eat Bananas the Way You Make a Monkey Gut of Me, l-le Put a Bar in the Back of His Car and l-le's Driving l-limself to Drink, and i'Don't Boll Those Bloodshot Eyes at Me. Titles like these are even more chuckle pro- voking than the songs they describe. Next time you have some spare time, stop in a record shop and listen to a few of them. You'll really enjoy them!
