MANY HANDS HELPED INGARDEN PARTY SUCCESS

Except for the ten-minute showerwhich threatened to cloud the endof a beautiful day the garden partyat the Trismen estate last Satur-day was a great success, financiallyand socially. Over a hundred tick-ets were sold, and every one had agood time. Dr. Winifred Cullis gavea most interesting talk on Englishwar gardens, followed by a colorfulpageant put on by daughters ofGarden Club members and eightgirls from Rollins College in folkdances. Though a light rain beganto fall the children, representingflowers, birds, butterflies and bees,carried on their theme of an En-chanted Garden, and though someof the spectators scurried for shel-ter many remained to the final tab-leau, after which they adjourned tothe porch of the Trismen home,where they were entertained bysongs by a double quartet from"You Can Defend America" led by

By,a similar votethe civic body endorsed the newRollins program for a summer ses-sion of varied courses with par-ticular reference to war and de-fense aims.

Dr. Holt, indignation ringing inhis voice, scathingly denouncedscandal-mongers and rumor-spread-ers and their fabrications which hesaid had been spread abroad aboutRollins in recent times.

VIRGINIA INN GUESTS PRESENT JACK HENNESSYWITH SILVER PITCHER AS TOKEN OF ESTEEM

On Saturday evening, March 14,John J. Hennessy, Manager of Vir-ginia Inn, Winter Park was takencompletely by surprise when justbefore the Saturday evening BridgeParty, the guests of Virginia Inngathered in the lobby and Mr. Irv-ing Bacheller leading citizen ofWinter Park, on behalf of theguests of the Inn, presented Mr.Hennessy with a beautiful silverpitcher in token of the esteem inwhich Mr. Hennessy is held,

Following the presentation, Mr.Jos. C. Lincoln, well-known writerof Cape Cod Stories and who hasbeen a guest of the Inn for manyseasons, presented Mr. Hennessywith a scroll signed by the guestsof the Inn, the Mayor and otherprominent Winter Park citizens.Mr. Lincoln also read a poem whichhe wrote and dedicated to Mr. Hen-nessy. The high regard in whichhe is held by everyone is revealedin this poem and the reason whythey return to Virginia Inn yearafter year.

Jack Hennessy was taken socompletely by surprise that he wasabsolutely speechless and all hecould say was—"Thank you".

TO JOHN J. HENNESSYThe sons our grandads used to tcoll

Before tho glowing ember,Was: "Landlord, fill the (lowinK bowl",

As p'raps you may remember.With glasses loaded to the brim

Tonst after toast would follow,They drank to Ned and Sue and Tim,To wives and sweethearts, plump and ulim,Bub never <lid they drink to him

That landlord—not a swallow.

And yet, when one sita down to think,Whosa WUH the room they met in ?

Who tilled that flowlne bowl with drink?Who gave them chairs to "set" in?

Who wtts it mixed the steaminu brewThnt mads them gay and mellow?

Who furnished pipes—and 'baccy too?Who laughed as if their jokes were newWho had to hear their singing 1 . . . Whew 1

Their landlord—he's the fellow.

And so, tonight (And, for my part,I think it's time we said it)

Wo toast our landlord, bless his heart,

And gladly give him credit,He keeps us males in well-fed glow ;

Our ladies blithe and bonny;He takes our cheeks, he helps us cvowAbout our golf scores—when they're low;And roasts us in his minstrel show . . .

"Here's looking at you, Johnnie!"

Hero's hoping that you live to seeThis world once mare a glad one,

Each season fjood as good can beWith not a single bad one.

That you keep smiling, big and brave.Behind that desk each minute.

Till Liberty and Truth we save.And, when each Jap's beneath the wave,You live to dance on Hitler's grave.

(Which ought to keep him in it.)

And when this war is over, thenAll these, your friends, will meet you.

This group of girls and bright young menWill come again to greet you.

Once more they'll gather, glad and gay,(Though probably no richer,)

To cheer you on your upward way.To bid you fill the bowl? . . Nay, nay ITha words I think you'll hear them say:

Are: "Jack, trot out that pitcher I"JOSEPH G. LINCOLN.

zart's "Symphonie Concertante",with Concertmaster Walter Tramp-ler and First Violinist Dante Ber-gonzi of the orchestra playing thesolo parts. This is a distinctivepiece of the 18th century compos-er's, having an important place inthe history of music besides its ownstructural beauty and melodiouscharms, for its influence on laterconcerto writing.

On the same program Mr. Blochpresents a movement from NikolaiMiakowski's "Sinfonietta", a strik-ingly modern work with advancedmusical treatments and conceptions.This is technically difficult and willbe marked by such unusual devicesas polytonal effects and parallelfifths etc.

The "Adagio" for strings, ofGuillaume Lekeu, Belgian composerof the late 19th century, whoseyouthful genius was cut short byhis premature death at the age of24, will be played by the orchestraas an example of highly elegaicand melancholic music of the mod-ern era. A touch of lighter naturewill be added with Mr. Bloch's ren-dition of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari'spopular1 "Serenade", which is in thebest Italian manner.

IMPRESSIONS(Continued from Page i)

Andre Smith was originally an ar-chitect, so the clean perfection withwhich he draws the fortress-likebuildings of these hill towns is notsurprising. But to bring the townsand their inhabitants to life as hehas done, is an achievement. Art-ists will admire the surety of touchwith which the result is obtained,but the layman, any layman, willunderstand these pictures and en-joy them.

More than ever, in time of war,we need the poise and serenity thatcomes from looking at art of thiskind in such a beautiful and rest-ful setting as The Research Studioprovides. The paintings are forsale but no one is asked to buy.Several have been sold, and morewill be; before the exhibition closeson March 28th. I wish that I mightown that beggar who stands likea prince in his Spanish cloak, witha beret on his head but a morecapacious hat in his hand in whichto receive coins, and the hills andwalls and cathedral tower of Se-govia in the background, ,

When you go out to the Galleryin Maitland, by bus or car, anypleasant afternoon, don't miss thenew Chapel directly across theroad. Roofless, open to the sky andfilled with flowers and sculpture, itssilence and beauty are as spirit-ually uplifting as a church service.

closed the program and showed hisflare for this virtuoso type of mu-;
