On Dec. 23, an assembly
was presented by the Hedrick
band, chorus, Stingers. The
band opened the program
with "The Messiah Overture."
The chorus sang "Susanna,"
"Silent Night," and "Ding
Dong Merrily."
While the band provided
background music, the Sting
ers marched and did several
formations in keeping with
Christmas.
The Droeram ended with
the band playing "O Holy
Night" while the Stingers
formed a Nativity scene. The
lights were turned out and
only the handlights held by
each girl illuminated tne

that recently,
when at a
meeting of a
psychiatric as
sociation, h e
q u e s t i oned
some of the
most cherish
ed theories of
the psychoan-
drTalvarez 'alysts - such
as castration fear and penis
envy - and his friends chided
him; they said he was "fight
ing a straw man." They said,
"What's the matter with you?
Don't you know that we have
lost faith in all those old
theories? Don't you know that
we are now giving only lip
service to that stuff?"
My friend said, "Yes;" he
had suspected that the more
intelligent psychiatrists had
their tongue in their cheek
when they talked about the
old weird theories; but still
he was shocked at their con
fessions of disbelief. As he
said to his friends, "How,
then, can you go on writing
papers about these theories,
when in your hearts you know
that they are silly and with
out basis in fact? Why don't
you do like I have been do
ing, and openly confess that
you do not know what causes
much of insanity?"
Actually, this week as I
was reading the autobiogra
phy of the famous Dr. Ernest
Jones, of London, the closest
friend of Freud and later his
biographer, I was impressed
to see how many of the early
leaders in psychoanalysis had
lost their faith, not only in
Freud's theories but in their
own:

then, if it works well, it will

reason for mentioning such a

that research is constantlv be

in time to help them.
