A dull day, clouds hang heavily
in the sky, and many young hearts
are sad. Why? This is the day for
the ever-talked-about Hobo picnic
given by the Second Baptist Sun
day school. The opening scheduled
for 5:30. Just at this breathtaking
moment it begins to simply pour
down. Only this time it wasn’t
Morton’s salt but RAIN. Finally
some bright miss suggests that
rain doesn’t stop a hobo. So two
young couples don slickers, slacks,
and rubbers and start for the pic
nic park. These brave couples at
tracted others who had planned to.
join the fun before the rain started.
The assistant superintendent of
the Sunday school announces that
the picnic would go on as scheduled
only not out in the rain but in the
church. Everyone assembled! The
fun began! Everyone was present
from grandfather to grandson. In
the entertainment that followed
more fun was had than a barrel of
monkeys could have had with a
thousand barrels of peanuts in New
York’s largest zoo. And oh my!
Did those hoboes enjoy a meal of
their lifetime? Well, I’d say so.
There was everything from san
wiches to ice cream. There were
maany long faces as the final hour
approached. Who said hobos didn't
have fun? Ask the LOYAL GUID
TTBF.

WAR SONGS
Strange as it seems, many of
the war songs <*£ the north and
south were given each to the other
in the days before the Civil War.
Tattle they suspected, when those
old southern slaves gathered “round
for a little spiritual uplifting” that
their old camp meeting songr would
in time be used to lead the forces
of an invading army, and little
did the Yankee boy, Daniel De
catur Emmett, dream when he sat
down to write a t**ie for a Negro
Minstrel, that in time his strains
would lead a southern force in
vading Yankee territory. But that
is just what happened. The words
and music of “Dixie” were com
posed by Emett, the northerner
and to the tune of “Dixie” the
gray hosts of the Confederacy
marched against the north ;The
north’s most beloved song on the
march was “Glory Hallelujah” or
“John Browns Body,” and the. mu
sic was taken, note for note, from
an old southern camp meeting
song.
Yankee Doodle’s Unique History
The Ragged Continentals of
America’s Revolutionary forces,
too, marched to a tune that was
given them by the enemy. Deliber
ately, and in jest, English officers,
twenty years before the first shot
of the Revolution foisted the tune
off on American soldiers as a fam
ous European military march. The
time was Yankee Doodle, and to
the pioneer soldier who fought in
the French and Indian Wars of
USSB it sounded militant enough to
march to, and catchy enough to
remember. To further the fun, Dr.
Shuckburg regimental surgeon in
the service of the king wrote dog
gerel very s f tr /ulii tune. The
way the American soldiers wr?
taken in by the hoax ke| t their
!:■ ish officers laughing for we ks.
Yankee Doodle was no European '
m'litary song. Its early history is
e. o- plicated as well as strange.
The melody was used in ancient
days in religious rites in Italy. Hol
landers later sang it as a harvest
song; and in England it was play
ed at country dances. Nevertheless
it sounded all right to the Amer
ican soldiers. They sang it and con
tinued to sing it.
Eventually, the English officers
found Yankee Doodle no longer
funny. In fact it was downright
boresome to General Cornwallis. He
heard it so much in the Revolution
ary War daring his retreat
at Yorktown, that he said he hop
ed he would never have to listen
to it again. General Cornwallis
should not have complained. It was
his brother officers, serving Geor
ge, third, who gave the Americans
the song they sang as they marched
to liberty.

honor, Mr. Waterhouse has been
ohosen as their representative.
In this connection it may be stat
ed that Mr. Waterhouse accepted
his selection only wllb that under
standing. He felt, he said, there
were others who should have been
chosen.
Mr. Waterhouse has been super
intendent of schools in Fremont
for 30 years. For 20 years prior
to that he was on school staffs in
Lincoln, Omaha, Weeping Water
and Grand Island.
Mr. Waterhouse will be formally
notified of his selection Friday,
June 18th, when a banquet in his
honor will be given at the Path
finder hotel in Fremont.
In order that educators, parents
and Students unable to attend may
participate, the Fremont ceremon
ies will be broadcast from 8:30 to
9:30 p. m. by KOIL, Omaha, and
KFOR, Lincoln.
A number of -leading citizens of
Fremont, with S. S. Sidner as gen
eral chairman, are in charge of
arrangements.
To Mr. Waterhouse, The Omaha
Bee-News will present a gold key
attesting his selection.
And next Spring The Bee-News
will again ask for nominations for
for a Master Teacher of 1938.
These will be presented by mem
bers of a secret committee of edu
cators, none of whom will know
who make up the membership of
tho committee.
Thus will be assured the selection
of another worthy Master Teacher
who, like the 1937 choice, typifies
all that is best in his or her pro
fession.

Typical of the projects on which
high school pupils were employed
was one designed to improve and
beautify Haynes high school, Nash
ville. In addition to general denn
ing and landscaping, tonnis courts
snd a baseball diamond were built
and play equipment was erected. By
the close of the Behoof /ear the
building had become a social and
recreational center for about 400
colored families to whom such fa
cilities had not before been freely
a\ailable. This accomplishment won
high praise from the committee on
social welfare among Negroes of
Nashville. The center will be open
during the entire summer.
Outstanding among the college
aid programs was one at A. and I.
State college, employing 70 young
men and women in various types
of tmautification and clerical work
about the campus. More than ,100
shrubs, hedges and trees wre plant
ed 'by 17 young men engaged in
the former type of activity. The
girls’ activities in this line were
confined to making and hanging
curtains in the college reception
and guest rooms, and studying
furniturq arrangements and inter
ior decoration. The clerical Workers
were employed ns assistants in the
various departments, and as dor
mitory receptionists.
l argest of the many NYA out
of-school work projects in the
state was the one at Knoxville,
employing at times as many as
55 colored workers. The workers
constructed baseball and softball
diamonds, tennis courts and an ath
letic field. The program included
handicraft, hikes, music, story-tell
ing, games of all kinds, dramatics,
swimming and radio appearances.
A total attendance record of 180,

centers in operation in Knoxville
last year.
