Of Mice and Men
By Herky Killingsworth
Novel Takes Side Of The Red Man
I shout my disappointment to
the world! I thought for sure
I would be asked to speak at
Commencement but alas, they
picked another. I won’t say that
I was mad, grieved, or angry, but
I did cry a little. After all, I
had spent weeks preparing my
speech only to enclose it in my
growing circular file.
Then I got an idea! I would
still address the ^seniors, a little
early, but probably still the best
address. I have shed the conven
tional phrases of “work hard,”
“put your nose to the grind
stone,” and “you are the leaders
of the country” — instead I will
tell you the truth. You under
classmen may read this also. I
will probably refuse to give the
ceremony my presence after the
obvious snub I suffered this time.
My Speech:
“THANK YOU for that tre
mendous introduction. There is
no way possible for me to ful
fill all of those kind words you
said about me (wait for laughter
to subside). Ladies and gentle
men, Aggies, Maggies, parents,
friends, President Rudder, Dean
Hannigan, Mr. Gay, Mr. Stark,
Col. Adams, Jack Boggan, Aunt
Maud, and all of the rest of you
wonderful people who come to
hear me today.
“We are gathered here on the
threshold of something great. A
new graduating class, class of
(stumble here and wait for
laughter to subside) ’66. Let me
give you some advice, not as a
former graduate of this fine uni
versity (for they haven’t seen
fit to acknowledge my brilliance
yet), but as a student older than
most of you, in college more
than most of you, and one of the
few living Aggies today that can
say he attended A&M under three
coaches.
“TODAY I AM going to give
you advice that will far outdo the
conventional speeches usually
given. A speech that will help
you in every day of your life,
in business and the home. I have
carefully researched the informa
tion I am about to give you and
night after night I have tried my
own advice to make sure it is
letter perfect for you Aggies.
“The world of business today
does not depend on the most
skilled worker, the smartest
aleck, or- even the people you
know. Advancements and pro
motions today depend upon the
conduct you present on the golf
course, the parties, and the BAR.
Yes, it is in the bar that the
decisions are made today. And
what boss will have any confi
dence in a man that cannot hold
his liquor or makes a fool of
himself in ordering a drink.
“So before you are set out
among the world with nothing but
a bit of sheepskin (or is it paper
today) I will give you a basic
lesson in social drinking. I must
admit that I am no authority oin
the subject, but I am working
toward it. I have received the
aid of a very good friend of
mine, Bob Coltrin, who is the
bartender of Briarcrest Country
Club. There he is in the audience,
ladies and gentleman, in the
eighth row. Take a bow, Bob.
How’s the wife and family ?
(Wait for laughter to subside).
“Anyhow, Bob has been so kind
as to instruct me in the art of
god drinking, at 75^ a shot, that
is.
“The main thing in ordering a
drink — and this makes sense —
is “be nice to the bartender.”
He has good quality stuff and
bad quality stuff behind that bar
and that drink can taste as good
or as bad as he wishes to make
it. To a bartender your business
isn’t so important that you can’t
be missed. Look at it this way:
you wouldn’t tell a cook that his
food is lousy before he brings
it out.
REMEMBER THE bartender
can be a real buddy. Besides
giving you the best for less, he
can give you advice. Probably
100 people a day come in and
talk to a bartender. He knows
everything from tips in the
stockmarket to the hot spots in
town. If you’re nice enough, they
can be bought out. Don’t try
to get them drunk, though. Re
member they’ve had practice.
“Social drinking today has been
brought down to an art. A drop
too much of one thing can ruin
another. Every little accessory
to a drink has its importance,
too. Take the lemon, for in
stance. It makes a drink look
pretty, and it also takes some
of the bite out of a drink. Start
out with a whole lemon and work
down. A lime does the same thing,
only more so. Cherries add
beauty and sweetness. Olives in
duce the customer to return for
a second drink to wash down the
taste of the olive. The onion
also works this way.
“That reminds, me of a funny
joke I heard on the way to bath
room the other night: It’s a
known fact that one-third of the
martini drinkers today drink mar
tinis because they feel it the chic
thing to do. Martinis taste awful
and an alcoholic is born every
other martini drinker because
they keep trying to wash down
the horrible taste of the olive
only to eat the next one. (laugh
ter) (more laughter)
“THERE IS a simple formula
to observe in mixing drinks that
I’m going to pass on to you
now, with Bob’s permission —
it’s okay Bob? — thanks. Use
a cherry when using sweet ver
mouth, orange slice and cherry
both in sours, orange slice and
cherry and lemon in collins and
also old fashions. Gibsons take
a onion. When using fruit
juices shake it, rattle it, and roll
it. Otherwise just stir so as not
to bruise the alcohol.
“When you get to your new
job look up the local bartender.
He can help you. He knows lots
of funny stories, for instance.
Bob tells of the time he was wait
ing a bar in Pennsylvania and
this man the size of Matson and
Moorman together comes in. Now
he can tell he’s a troublemaker
and has no intention of giving
any trouble. Looking for a fight,
the big bully challenges every
man at the bar and accuses them
of trying to steal his girl, in
cluding Bob — Bob isn’t too big
— stand up again, Bob — thank
you.
“ANYHOW, AS soon as that
man stepped out onto the street
again the lights went out the
door closed and the rest of the
clients went out through the
back door. Bartenders are also
known for their brains.
“Another story he tells me is
the origin of the martini. It was
thought up by a man named Mar
tin who tended the bar at the
Waldrof Astoria. It became pop
ular and has become the most
popular dring in America. Now
isn’t that a success story that
brings tears ?
I CAN TELL by the way Presi
dent Rudder keeps looking at
his watch it must be time for
me to stop. I’d like to tell you
one more story first if you don’t
mind. Do you mind ? Thank
you.
“In a little bar on the left
bank of Paris a bartender was
once accosted by a young man
who breathlessly ordered a dou
ble bourbon “before the big
fight.” The bartender gave him
the drink and he gulped it down,
ordered another one again, say
ing “before the big fight.” He
again gulped the drink down
while the bartender asked where
the fight was. The man asked for
one more drink, first which the
bartender obliged him by giving.
The young man then said the
big fight was going to be right
here when the bartender found
out he didn’t have any money.
“Thank you (wait for applause,
bow three times in separate di
rections. Hold both hands and
nod. Shake Mr. Rudder’s hand
and go to seat. Bow twice more
and sit down.)
A COUNTRY OF STRANG
ERS. By Conrad Richter. Knopf.
$3.95.
Richter’s novel is a touching,
tragic, thought - provoking story
of a victim of early America’s
betrayal of the red man.
Ironically the victim is a white
girl, who at a very early age had
been captured by the Indians.
She has been raised in an Indian
family, and given the name of
Stone Girl. She has married an
Indian, is the mother of an Indian
boy named Otter Boy. She has
only a few faint memories of her
pre-Indian life. She thinks, feels
and acts like an Indian.
But when the white men de
mand the general return of cap
tives, she is taken away from her
husband—later she is to learn he
has been killed in a raid — and
with Otter Boy is sent on a long
journey. A French priest takes
them and another captive girl
back to the white settlements in
Pennsylvania to restore them to
their real parents.
Disastrously, Stone Girl is re
jected by her white father. She
becomes lost between the races—
neither white nor Indian, but in
her primitive way her allegiance
is with her dark-skinned son.
Then comes the terror of an
Indian raid on the white settle
ments; a dangerous mission to
save her small white sister; a
desperate escape, a sorrowful re
treat to the wilds.
Richter has told the story from
the viewpoint of the almost-In-
dian girl, with allusions to Indian
beliefs and customs, with an ex
pert insight into Indian psycholo
gy, language and symbolism.
This is a companion novel to
the author’s well - known “The
Light in the Forest.” It contains
a deep sense of tragedy and forti
tude, and a deep sympathy for
the victims of the white man’s
arrogant invasion of the wilder
ness. —Miles A. Smith
