Many rritlclsms harr been heard from students this year,
aa in former years. atKiut the ('ullr«cij»ir>. Moat of theae studenta
harr nerer worked on the aiaff or participated In any way towards
helping (he {»aper lo hef-ome a better one. They do not realise
the limited resources wa have to work wUb They do not reallxe
that it is hard to get <<M>peratlon rx>ept from a few faithful stu*

the paper. Perhaps If aome of thoae siudt'nta * ho feel ao prone
to :.'rlticite Would <ome to staff meetings and work together, there
would not be so mu«h critirUm, neither would there b« as much
room for criticism
We want to sxpreaa apprv^'iallon to the out-going editor who

Some thought the noise sound
ed like a screaming bomb: others
thought It was merely a whistle,
' but whatever It was It caused a
bit of excitement In Caldwell Hall
one night recently.
MUs Kugenla .Stlckley, dean,
was the r*t person aroused a
Jhort time after the light bell had
rung at 11 o'clo<k. The con
fusion spread rapidly until all girls
living In this dormitory were out
of l>ed, yelling and screaming.
A few brave co-eds ventured
downstair* and searched the
chemistry lab and ahower room.
They found nothing there but
they di*covered the door leading
outside was cracked open. Thl*
was probably due to the fact that
aome girl's date left after the
door had been locked and he
j didn’t close It well. During the
excitement nobody thought of
Ithis. The only logical thing
seemed that someone wa* In the
building.
The police were called and the
flrst floor of the building was
; again aearched. The amusing
]*lght wa* forty girls in pajamas,
I housecoats, etc.. with hair pinned
j up, all grouped around two pollce-
|men, who thought the whole thing
rather amusing.
The hidden gho*t wa* not re
vealed and probably never will be
‘unlea* a certain girl admit* that
she was the one who made that
whistling noise, (p. s. It s a
military secret;.
In place of our usual “dirt"
we thought we’d give you a UttU
something to remember abottt
some of our seniors. We can’t
say they're very dignified, but
ue'li neter forget:
l.ib BroHnlr^c and her effici

Funny Hcinby and her ability
to chew gum—and we forgot to
add her love for Kendrick.
Funiit*r and her won
derful dancing (ask anyone) and
Hill and don't ever forget her
work on the “IMue Knot.'*
The V. W. A. led by Kuby
Jom*?* who will be ml.ssed by the
Council and certain men in the
services . . . . :
Johnny (irtn'iio with those "isb-
ka-bibble" bauds and her dozens
of skirts.
Those letters signed by ('a^^ie
,Ma«* Cowell from Kxwutivw lioard
—She was certainly an efficient
secretary and she doesn't forget
her staff sergeant.
Carolyn li^iKKi'tto with her
beautiful red hair and her love
for l><4ta Si^na.
CatlxTlne IK^an.s and her slogan
"Better late than Never."
KvHyn Ku.s.vll and (»uy Smith
—a twosome but don’t forget
Guy’s love for the Chemistry lab.
Klcaikor Ulow and her many
baths a day and Harvey
(How does she rate two?)
Francfs Sernionn—how could
we ever forget her beauty on May
Day or Howartl.
Peanut Morrl><—her efficiency
In anything—regardless?
Carrie (H^^I) I>avi.s May and
her indifference—
llule <;arri.s> and her lovely
voice and Howard and Mickey.
Cf^‘l»y (Su|MTlor) Parrish and >
her work as preKldent of Delu
Sigma.
Ha/.o| .lohnnon and her ability
to "Jltter-bu#f".
Cliarlie HarrlHon and his calm
dignity—and always ItellM.
Ciinny I^nraster and her flit

Curlle Davis and his physique
In full dress—remember May Day

.Myrtle .May torn between her
love for soldiers and chocolate
milks.

In the Post Office.

j Yes. we’ll never forget these
'students, for we say it sincerely
!—with them will go part of our

|and stlil see, our future. We ran

jllness; we ran to them In our
I every happiness; we ran to them
for advice, for co-operation, for
leadership.
And now comes the parting Iti
