TheAltrusa Club of High Point issponsoring this concert.Donald Dickson served as anunderstudy for Nelson Eddy, andappeared on the Chase and SanbornHour for him recently. Hesang for the Sealtest Hour forquite a while also.The baritone was born in Clairton,Pa., in 1911, but most of hisearly years were spent in Cleveland,Ohio, where he was in schooland began vocal study under WarrenWhitney.At nineteen he sang his firstoperatic roles as Ford in "TheMerry Wives of Windsor," thisperformance being presented bythe Cleveland Symphony Orchestra,whose conductor, Arthur Rodzinski,took a special interest inDickson and for two seasons sponsoredhis appearance in specialoperatic performances which Rodzinskiproduced.Before 26 years old, he had sung,in many operas and had createdthe role of Garrick in the performanceof David Garrick at the WorcesterFestival. In 1936 he went toNew York to continue his studiesand was awarded two scholarships,one by the Institute of Musical ArtDONALD DICKSONand the other by the JulliardGraduate School.Critics have placed Dickson ona par with Lawrence Tibbett, JohnCharles Thomas and Nelson Eddy,pronounced him "one of the greatestdramatic singers of today.'In 1939-40 he made his first concerttour, filling forty-eight engagementsin addition to his weeklybroadcasts. Everywhere he waswelcomed by crowded houses andenormously enthusiastic audiences.He has received great commendationthrough the press.Tickets to this concert are onsale in the bureau's office by MissLucille Johnston.Prices have been cut in half forstudents.Seniors Try"Giving" NowPractice Teachers Get Chanceto Deliver and Receive theGoods at This SeasonThe Seniors, indeed, are alreadybeginning their unhappiness! Perhapsyou have been wonderingwhy they are dressed so utterlyunlike themselves, at least, mostof them. These poor, innocentvictims of some state regulationsare doing their practice teaching!The first day that one of themis going to teach is usually characterizedby shaking hands, aquivering voice, and a general dispositionto pace the floor of course,after the first day and if theyhave been successful, they lifttheir heads into the air and assumethat well-known about-to-beteacher pose.It seems that Iris Thacker, AudreyGuthrie, and Oneta Fitzgeralddecided to stick to the very,very small children in the primarygrades at Elm Street School. Wesuspect Audrey chose this field soshe would be taller than her students.She thought she could escapesome spelling demons, but wehear she spelled stomach with a"K"—Haven't you got one Audrey?Jewell Campbell and WillieEdwards are doing practice teachingat Ray Street School.The in-betweens—we mean thosewho are practicing teaching atJunior High are Harriet Berry,Gladys Brooks, Elma Chambliss,Ruth Good—(we wonder if youcan tell her from her students),Anne Kitchens, Geraldine Rash,Mary Townsend, and CharlotteVarner. Ann Kitchens may beheard every day trying to pronouncethe names of South Americancountries.Banks Chilton, Banks Evans,Frank Harris, Virginia Hunt, RuthMay, Irene Parker, Henry Ridenhour,Frances Scruggs, Mary AliceThayer, Charlotte Varner are atSenior High School. They knowhow to manage those High Schoolstudents.Ruth May can tell you all aboutletter writing. It seems that shehas been enlightened along thisline. Maybe Ruth Good can tellyou about the odd subjects of theirletters. There is an artist inHenry Ridenhour's class. She wasso impressed that she drew hispicture on the board.Grace Bivins is teaching musicin different schools. Carolyn NifongMotsinger is teaching at Midway,and Hilda Lanier is at Welcome.Seriously, all the seniors reallyappreciate the opportunity of practiceteaching in the city schools.They are keenly aware of all thekindnesses of the critic teachers.JOE LEPKOWSKI AND ALVIN BOLESTonight Jolting Joe will be jolting his mighty body against theChristians.

Wilson, internationallyknown traveler and author,will be the second of the lecturersat High Point College. He willlecture on "Three - WheelingThrough Africa" on Monday evening,November 3, in the Collegechapel at 8:15 p. m."T h r e e-Wheeling ThroughAfrico" is the incredible story oftwo young men, two pop-popbikes, two sidecars piled high withtools, tires, gasoline, spare parts,cameras, quinine—and a banjo!From Lagos, Nigeria, they set outto moke the first motorized crossingof Africa laterally north ofLake Chad—3800 miles and only900 miles of road. Garages were2400 miles apart—gosoline wastransported 45 days into the desertby camel at a cost of $4.00 a gallon.Five months later two beardedscarecrows clattered to a stop, onwhat was left of the motorcycles,where the Red Sea laps againstAfrica. A rollicking tale of fantasticadventure, hairbreadth escapes,wayside friendships withAfrican "savages," and mechanicalmiracles. Schools, Colleges, TownHalls and outstanding Clubs havethrilled to this sparkling tale.Jim Wilson and his companionwere the first white men ever tocross Africa from coast to coastbetween Lake Chad and the Sahara.Without guides, porters, orinterpreters, they battered theirway through jungles, deserts, andsavannahs for five long months,traversing a territory never beforevisited by an American.It's sparkling—and different—the story of this astonishing youngDon Quixote who made blow-outpatches from antelope hide, conquersblack men with, a banjo, andbrings to America a new vision ofworld friendliness.Rarely gifted as a speaker, hecombines happily in his lectures,as in his writing, breath-takingadventure, crackling humor anddiscerning observations. His articleshave appeared in The NationalGeographic and other magazines—In the National Geographic forJanuary, 1934, appears the detailedaccount of their trip. TheBobbs-Merrill also published hisbook — "Three-Wheeling ThroughAfrica"—which has proven to behis best selling travel book of thesame name.Weekly BroadcastBegins On MondayThe music department will beginthe first of its weekly Mondaynight broadcasts on November3rd.
