HIGH AC RES C OLLEGIAN advanced German students. They have all had the basic courses—at least four semesters of German--and.are doing fur ther study in German literature. The Deutecher Verein sponsors !German Films and speakers. Twice a month, its madbers gather around the piano in Deutsches Haus for a German song fest lead by Dr. Carl Baumann, Professor of German and chairman of the department. Twice a week a luncheon table iS set aside in one of the college dining halls for those students who want to talk the language. (The German students here at Righaores are not yet as advanced as these stdr. dents in California, but some of these Ideas may be applied here, if enough students get together to make a go of it, We might reserve a table in the cafeteria in the new Student Union Building once a week, . gather there for meals, and speak only German. "THE YOUNGER DAYS" (The Ist installment in a series covering the life history of a "Popular Student" at Highacres. The name of this student will not be published because these stories are taken from his secret diary, which managed to find its way to our office.) 'Meer Diary,. Mammy told Daddy Yester day that I tattled to the neighbors again about those Parties they always hold in the cellar at the stroke of midnight. Before Daddy chained me to the wall, he told me to keep my big mouth shut or he would take my cigars away from me for a week. Rata a meany--depriving a nine-gear -old boy of his cigars! Before he bolted the door, he said I talked too much, that one of these times I tell about the parties someone would believe mel As if anybody believed in vampires* And saying I talked too much! litiht I wouldn't even talk at all for the first five lears of my life: I was ashamed for Mks txt. know I didni-t.hkrze any teeth. FRIDAY OCTOBER 24 1958 Boys r oan'remember those days. Mammy a nd Daddy thought I couldn't understand them. I can just hear Mawr singing "Coming Through the !Veit' while Daddy was down in the cellar, going through the seotch. Things were blue for hiM 'till we loosened his collar. They bright— ened when I showed him my first report cards with "F" on them. told him it meant "Phenomenal."' It wasn't easy to forge his name on the report card; he couldn't write, He was proud of me and got me a gun that shot real bullets• I Ins the only kid on the block with a Colt .45. After a week I was the only kid on the block. We had a chauffeur then. He saved lots of money; in two years he was able to buy himself a seeing--eye dog. When he drove s the car wob— bled so much that I never knew whether the steering was loose or the driver was tight. That car s I recollect s didn't have much pow— er; we had to put it in second to drive over a cigar butt. (By the way, cars don't grow on trees, my teacher said, they come from plants; Maybe I should ask her if the plants have their little ones by seeds or runners.) Having a chauffeur meant we had money too• In fact s we were the only people on our street who put out garbage. Well, dear Diary, I have to say "BYellibecause Daddy is coming down the cellar steps now, and if he finds out that ilte been using his red wine for ink, "INDWP.4 I II be down here another two days.
