H. Tedford with the following associate hostesses: Mrs. S. D. Paysin- ger, Mrs. W. O. Miller, Mrs. P. D. Johnson, Sr., Mrs. L. G. Eskridge and Mrs. R. E. Lea- vell. Upon arrival the members enjoyed a brief social period during which the hostesses served delicious refreshments. The meeting was opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. C, S. Owens after which the Chaplain,' Miss Dorothy Buz- hardt, led in the opening rit- *ial. The chapter was fortunate to have as its guest speaker. Prof. F. Scott Elliott, who was presented by Mrs. Tedford. Prof. Elliott is an associate professor of English at New berry College. He was educated at Dartmouth College, where he received his A. B. degree; at the University of North Car olina. where he received the M. A. degree; at Harvard Un iversity, University of Chicago and Duke University, where he has done additional graduate work. While at Newberry College, he has held many positions of leadership in civic and patriot ic organizations. He has been listed in Who’ Who of the South and Southeast, South ! Carolina Lives, Directory of American Scholars,, and other publications. He is the author of several scholarly articles, and a published poem. | Prof. Elliott spoke on “ Sid- I ney Lanier—the Poet and Mus ician”. He began by summariz- i ing briefly the early life of the | poet. Lanier was born in Macon Georgia, Feb. 3, 1842. His fa ther, Robert Sampson Lanier, was a struggling young law yer and his mother, Mary J. Anderson Lanier, was a woman of much thrift and piety. Early in his life the boy de monstrated his ability to play different musical instruments. It was the flute that expressed best the song of beauty which he derived from nature. When he was seven years old, he made his own flute and went into the woods to emulate the trills and cadences of the song birds. In college he organized his own orchestra. He enlisted in the Confeder ate Army and was in prison •at Point Lookout. When he reached home, he became des perately ill and a few years later developed tuberculosis which took his life at age 39. Prof. Elliott then discussed in an able and scholarly manner the poetry of Lanier. In “The Symphony” one of Lanier’s best known poems, the speak er said that he denounces in dustrial enslavement. As an ex ample of Lanier’s economic poetry, Prof. Elliott read the dialect poem. “Thar’s More in the Man than Thar is in the Land”. The poet was espec ially good in writing verse in dialect as this poem illustrates. Airman Allan Gilbert, son of Mrs. Martha Gilbert of 2304 Main St., and the late Beaufort D. Gilbert, has been selected for technical training at Shep pard AFB, Texas, as a U. S. Air Force aircraft maintenance specialist. The airman recently complet ed basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas. His new school is part of the Air Training Com mand which conducts hundreds of special courses to provide technically trained personnel for the nation’s aerospace force. Airman Gilbert is a graduate of Newberry High School and Columbia Commercial College. To represent State 4-H Shirley Cook, first alternate in the State 4-H Clothing Achievement project, was noti fied this week that she will rep resent South Carolina at Na tional Club Congress later this month. Shirley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Cook, of Prosperity, is a senior at Mid-Carolina High School. She has been an active 4-H member for seven years. In addition to her cloth ing project, Shirley has also received blue awards in state competition on Leadership, Cit izenship and Public Speaking. Prof. Elliott read “The Mocking Bird” and “The Song of the Chattahoochee” as re presentative of Lanier’s best nature poems. Then he read “Evening Song” which is a tribute to his wife, Mary Lan ier, and which represents the love poems. To represent the religious poems, the speaker used “A Ballad of Trees", “The Master” and “The Mar shes of Glynn”. Although Lanier published several prose works, it is as a poet that he will be remember ed. In this work he attempted to blend music and poetry into harmonious word symphonies. Yet he pictures some realistic scenes of Southern life in his early novel, “Tiger Lilies”. Walt Whitman said Lanier was a beautiful spirit, he had his work to do, and he did it.” “He was the greatest flute virtuoso of his time even though a self-educated musi cian,” said Prof. Elliott in clos ing his interesting portrayal of the author and musician.

This wap in line m Mien you loveHour AS: Aslovtfs, And we love our work. So much that we couldn’t bear to stop with the slickest-looking split grille ever to grace a Wide-Track. (Or any other car, for that matter.) We went ahead and made the windshield wipers disappear. The car not only looks cleaner, but the wipers are less subject to icing and freezing, too. Then we got rid of the vent windows on all Grand Prix hard- tops. We replaced them with nifty monograms and a flow-through ventilation system. We even designed a rather unique hood-mounted tachometer option that’s available on all Pontiacs. As are our other new options like stereo tape and stereo radio. And, of course, our handsome interiors have to be seen to be believed. All Pontiacs have standard safety features that include a dual master cylinder brake system with warning light, outside rear view mirror, and GM’s energy absorbing steering column. Isn’t it time you decided to see your Pontiac dealer? If you love our work the way we do, it’s the least you can do.
