Lad to Get College Degree

none will be more proud than
Charles Hopkins Parry, who will
have to be pushed.
Parry will ride in wheelchair
Monday to accept his B.A. at
the 131st annual commencement
at Centenary College.
Beneath the 28-year-old Tex

be a portable chest respirator,
without which he would probably

Basil O'Connor, president of
the National Foundation for In

first youth in the nation to earn

to an iron lung.
Victim ( Poll
Tarry is a polio victim. He
was stricken as a freshman at
Louisiana State University nearly
seven years ago and has since
been paralyred from his neck to
his heels. His personal campus
in four years at Centenary has
been a bed in a polio ward.
The young native of Waco,
Tex , had set out to be an archi
tectural engineer before the dis
ease struck. ' Then, for three
years he lay in an iron lung at
Charity Hospital in New Or
leans. "1 didn't do much planning
for the future during those first
few years after I became sick,"
Parry said in an interview.
"I did more praying than any
thing else. Then, when I had to
face the fact that I wasn't going
to be able to walk again, I de
rided the time had come for me
to decide what to do with my
We"
By 1952, when he was transfer
red to Shreveport hospital, Parry
had made up his mind. Legs and
arms might not be absolutely
essential for a teacher, and with
this profession as a goal, Parry
enrolled as a history student at
Centenary.
A two-wav telephone commu
nication system enabled him to
participate in classroom discus-:
sions while remaining in his bed I
in the polio ward at Confeder
ate Memorial Medical Center.
He used a tape recorder to
record the lectures, and friends
and fellow students transcribed
the recordings on typewriters so
that he could consult his notes
later.

Anyone who drives a car must sometime
drive in crawling, slow-moving traffic where
it's stop-and-go or sptirt-and-slow.
And if you're used to a car that handles

But it isn't. You can have Dynaflow smooth
ness in a new Hitirk-and you won't believe
the difference until ynu try stop-and-go
traffic.
For here you have absolute smoothness
when you accelerate.
Here you have absolute smoothness whei
you decelerate.
Here you have absolute smoothness under

Dynaflow.
It's the only transmission on the American
scene todav win-re Howing oil does the work
