BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
We had a good many super
stitions in which we believed im
plicitly.
One was that if you killed a
snake and hung it on a limb, it
would make it rain. During
droughts we were careful to com
ply with this. And, of course, it
always eventually rained. It al
ways had. Snake or no snake.
But that made no difference to
us. We clung to our belief.,^
Another one was, we believed
if a turtle, or cooter as we call
ed 'em, bit you it wouldn’t turn
loose until it thundered. I think
they told us that to make us care
ful in messing with these crea
tures, as we explored from the
source to the mouth of our
creek. That thing was indelibly
impressed on my mind. And I
had a number of nightmares^
thinking one of those things had
me and the skies were clear.
In fact we were always doubly
careful around them during long
dry spells. But on out during the
thunderstorms of summer, we al
ways felt a bit more secure. In
fact, we played with them when
it was thundering, knowing a
bite couldn’t last long.
As kids we wouldn’t think of
turning around and going back
to get something we forgot with
out making a cross there in the
with our big toe and spit-
on it. That was to ward off
luck.

Will Present Program At Aveleigh Sunday Morning
Presbyterian College’s robed
choir will present a musical inter*
pretation of “The Story of Jesus'*
when it appears at Aveleigh Pres
byterian church on Sunday morn-
inng.
Conductor Edouard Patte, in
preparing his program of sacred
music and worship, has given
special emphasis to chorals of
the Rreformation Period, Russian
music and spirituals.
Once more this season, as in
the past four years, Dr. Patte has
blended 32 voices into a singing
organization which is rated onei
of the foremost college groups in
the South. It receives highest
recognition through interpretation
of classical sacred selections.
The Presbyterian robed choir
makes two tours annually which
extend over five states. It has
traveled some 20,000 miles in the
past four seasons and participated 1
in numerous radio broadcasts, in
cluding “Great Glee Clubs of
America” over national hookup
last summer.
Among the most significant
pieces rendered by the choir in
developing its theme “The Story
of Jesus” are:
A delicate and joyful “Nativity
Song” by Buxtehude, the famous
Scandinavian composer and or
ganist and teacher of Bach, who
once walked 200 miles to hear his
teacher play.
“Gloria Patti” by Palestrina;
the 16th Century Roman choir
master, rendered in Latin by the
PC singers. They also interpret
Palestrina’s “Bone Jesu,” a piecel
of pure devotion and adoration
aiming at the beauty of pure
sound, with dissonances thorough
ly prepared.
“When Jesus Wept,” a seldom
heard carati by William Billings
(1746-1800) the first native Amer
ican to make a profession of com
posing music. Several little
known spirituals add a simple,
moving touch to the program and
the service concludes with a vig
orous anthem by Josef Haydn.
William Neville, of Newberry,
is a member of the Presbyterian
choir.
