CLINTON, S. CY. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1949
The Big Show
The big inauguration show in
Washington last week drew enor-j
mous crowds with President Truman
Editorial, The Blue Stocking:
The Blue Stocking has coined a
new Latin phrase to hail the ele'c-
! tion of Doug Kiker and Laddie
Brearley as its guiding hands for the
! next two semesters. Translated, this
new and partially original phrase,
‘Sic Advenit Gloria Mundi,’’ reads
“Thus Comes the Glory —of the
World.” And thus it does under this
new leadership of Kiker, Brearley
and~rnmpany.
This new regime will take the
reins of The Blue Stocking to guide
its fate for another whole year, pos
sibly the longest the two new ad
ministrators will see in their earthly
existence, with the next issue. But,
don’t let the preceding sentence lead
you to believe that it hasn’t been
, tun for the outgoing administration,
’cause it has, every issue of it. It is
with a bit of reluctance that the edi
tor and business manager give up
; their posts, but lurking in the back
ground as they do fade out of the,
picture, there is a sense of relief.
