Mary Sims is a first grade er—and the children love her! W.ir wouldn’t? Fannie Strick'and is a hon-'j d m onstrator of care ot 1he '’hil'i cleanliness. She’s doi’' her 1) ' raise the standard of rursl livi:'?’ Peggy Toatley is on a "o coa«t book-up with her “Corn'-’-n.erf Tips” backed not bv a brand n-imr but by Consumers Guide! Helen:' Trent has a bnkery— much Lke the one we used to trek "cross the tracks to after dinner .nt Bennett. Her specialty i her appb tarts as learned from !\!iss V.'are. Remember Maye Tyson a’vvay? wanted to be a horticulturist — bui the nearest she comes to having an> flowers is her two back w'ndow- boxes in her Washington .•’pr'vtmcnt She’s a dentist wife you knov:—r.nd his receptionist, too. You knew this—Annie Vn''"f’ie is married to Cvabam Smiih He’/ •' transport pilot now but if -'nnie could go through a war without '.vor- ring she need not v/orry no"'. Lucy Wadde'l is the head o? the Home Economics dep’t at Sedana— she lives for those P.-T. A. mesting demonstrations. Says she really feels she’s accomplishing something. Sylvia Wallace is down at Wash ington St. School. We understand that uyon Mr. Jones’ retirement as principle she’s going to be recom mended for the position. Mirian White is teaching French and English in Jacksonville, Fla.— She plans to go abroad next year to put in a couple of terms of study at the Sorbonne in Paris. Orinda White is teaching out at Mt. Vernon in Columbus, Ohio. As usual she’s still a fashion plate, j Edith Whiteman brought the Negro woman into her own on the legitimate stage. She did it! She has ' crashed both Hollywood and Broad- I .^vay—and her marriage hasn’t been anv sort of a deterrent factor. : Mary Whitfield is supervisor of Physical Education in the Raleigh school system—the only trouble she 'says is that she doesn’t get enough ' exercise herself. ! Hattie Williamson is a speed tvn- ist par excellence these days. She’s employed as personal secretary to Mr. Whiting, who recently was elected to the House of Representa tives. Ruby Williamson has got her hair I cut! Imagine, and she’s tsachin?’ i English at Dudley—her husband, so I I hear, is a member of the French ! dep’t there. Nothing like keeping it in the family. Sara Lou, what iiappened to you Easter Sunday — long time no see with Frankie Foster, eh? But what came off the next weet(i-end, too? Uh-uh, honey, you got to make your mind up! The recent Omega dances have been “On”! Both the local and out- of-town events have had Bennett girls as some of the loveliest Omega sweethearts. Jenny L., what happened to that high power you turned on a couple of weeks back? Did Frances W. cut the wires or did Henry himself just throw the switch? Gee, but you were RE.^LLY ex cited that Sunday morning when you ran through the glass door, Janet Price! •$G4 question! Kitty D. is that the real McCoy who wears those bars and army “pinks”? What about th?,t master poi-trait ornamenting yuur dresser of late? Triangles: Annabel e Knight, Er nie Lewis, and Major Reid! Le\', i. Tann, Sterling Ilogan.s, Wini re.l Taylor! This issue’s vote for the biggcs. clown: Frank “Fleet” Norllet v/ o has been everywhere, seen every thing, and knov.'s FIVERS BOD * ! Permanent fixtures along the campus walks — Buddy Gist an,' Valeria Chappelle. Who wears a pair of tilvci' ,vin,s over her heart—but v,’ho.?o Leart is really somewhere in Norih Afrxa? Annie V.—and when he comes back something tells us she’L be one of the SMITH girls! Don’t we rate—having I\L P.’s patrolling our campus. Ma Mac take a rest. Wilma G., toc^ bad you couldn’t make up your mind between soldier dance and the Omega dance—’twas nice missing both, eh what? “Boothe” to Skip doesn’t mean just a seat in the Paramount Grill— but we understand she’s still Carey- ing a torch she lighted her Fresh man year. Goldwyn, we see you sporting your A. and T. class key. Coop’s, no doubt? “Send her one dozen roses” so says the soldier from Fort Benning —they were really sharp, Mirian White. “One ticket to Georgia”—good luck Jinnya Holder. \,'hs?i you hit New Jersey next, will you still be iMiss? I Everyone can’t get boxe,; of I candy, Rosa Lomax—especial'y from anonymous admirers. Edith Whiteman is SO cool, calm, and collected these days. But wouldn’t you bs, too. if you had THAT man waiting on the other end of your diploma for you with a ring? Punjab Jackson has more i;;tercst here at Bennett than his sister. Hov,- 'bout that, Maye T.? Ben, the campus legend rs o lated with la Lav/son, graduated 1'om Penn State—dig that pin he sent her almost before it happened. Billy Chappelle, Ed Allen is “or, ice”—or had you found that or.!? The person we got the most fun ou, of watching is not yet a Bennttl co-ed; she is a Bennett student, i however, attending the nurser ' I school! The Palmer’s baby gets our jvote for Bennett’s loveliest. Who can I deny it. F>OLLOCK’S SHOES Most Up To Date HOSE bags GLOVES THE INQUIRING REPORTER’S RAMBLINGS mulg-ated by Bennett girls as their contribution. CAROLYN ROBERTSON, presi dent of Little Theatre Guild, 43-44: In a community such as Norfolk. Va., where there are numerous serv ice men as well as sailors I will have ample opportunity to practice phases of our War-Peace Program. (And Teena was dead serious!) I feel that I can work with the head ot the ■colored park to organize different programs for the service men and defense workers. Such activities a.'^ community singing, play pi-oduction, and enteitainnients reduce the ten- I sion produced by inadequate facili- I ties and race prejudice to OUR men in uniform. I BLANCHE GRAVES, president of the class of ’46 for the school term I 43-44: I can see a two-fold plan easily operated by the girls in Port- , land, Ore. The nursery schools can be operated by girls who wish ex perience in this area and thereby i free mothers for vital defense worl-:. Also, there is an air base near Port land, at which ’teen-age girls may ; do their bit (with a bit of self-en joyment) helping make the recrea tional program of the service men ' well-rounded. This will* be a pleasur- j able experience for the girls as well as a highly apreciated service to the “eagle’s wings”. MARGARET HILL, president of the class of ’44 for the school term 43-44: I feel that our War-Peace Program can be carried out most effectively in the area of Nutrition and Consumer Education. One could give demonstrations or skits on hov,- to conserve food, clothing, food sub- I stitutes. Talks on point rationing would be very useful now also. Then, too, in High Point there is a definite need for child i2!uidance. Many children spend hours in not only non-profitable activity but in actual destructive activity. Taking these children into some sort of or ganized war work would not only take them off the streeets but let them make their contribution which in this total war is vital, no matter ho\v small. ANNUAL MEETING OF TRUSTEE BOARD TAKES PLACE DURING APRIL (Continued From Page Two) City; Mrs. Harry James, New York City; Mrs. Raymond Brown, secre tary, East Aurora, N. Y.; Mrs. W. H. C. Goode, Sidney, Ohio; Mrs. J. N. Rodeheaver, Wiona Lake, Ind.; Mrs. F. C. Reynolds, Baltimore, Md.. and President David D. Jones, assistant chairman. This year the report to the trus tees on the activit'es on the campus was made by members of the faculty and students, the faculty members discussing the work of thj various departments of the curriculum and the students discussing the extra curricular activities on the campus for the past year. The faculty discussion was made in the form of a panel with Mr. Banner acting as leader. Each speaker was introduced, and in turn made his report. Miss Player re viewed the work of the Registrar’s Office; Miss Brett, the Personnel I Department; Dr. Petioni, the Health i Department; Mrs. Daniel, the Liberal 'Arts Department; Misa Ware, the Home Economics Department; Mr. Banner, the Department of Humani ties; and Mr. Whiting, the Commun ity Related Work. Laura Alston led the student’s discussion on extra curricular activi ties, Kathryn Davenport spoke on “Extra Curricular Activities on the Campus”, and Bettye Wade, chair man of the Student Senate, discussed “The Student Senate, Its Organiza tion and Functions”. The report of the committees under the War-Peace [Plan were made by the student j chairman, Mary Randolph; Recrea- jtion and Hobbies, Margaret Hill; Discussion Group, Ruth Harvey; Conservation and Salvage, Thora Kelly; Child Care, Carol Carter; In stitutions and Agencies, and Myrtle Brown, Nutrition and Consumer Education. Each discussed the pur pose and the work of her commit tee. The student report ended with a report by Roberta Favors on the functional committees on the cam pus. This included the Lyceum Committee, Committee on Religious Activities, and Student Dress Com mittee in particular. PLATTER PATTER Ah-h-h! W^oe is me! Well, friends, this is the last, the very last time I will patter this chatter about the platter with you. There, there, take it easy now. You know what?—I’ll promise to miss you ever so much IF you’ll promise to miss me. Hah! So much for this sentimental side- chatter now. I think we’ll crack the gate with “Trav’lin’ Light”—music by Paul Whiteman and that self-styled Lady Day (our own Billie). We’ve been talking about this record ever since the February issue—now at last the Gi'ill, mecca of all seniors, has ill A new one of the bounce family “Rubber Bounce” by Sonny Wi, liams beats off a fine tempo, “lley Lawdy Mama” by Andy Kir.^ with its “meet me in the bottom" rhythm takies quite a few nickels in the juke boxes . . . “Revers. the Charges” by aforementioned Sonny Boy Williams is quite a favorite among the Bennett ladies. “How Can I You Say You Love Me” is one of the current favorites by Eddie Dean ; that coupled with Ersi.iine Butter field’s revival of “Don’t Liave Nov;” takes it. The Harlem HamfaL:; ! come on with “Why Don’t You Do I Now?” And have you heard “Fran- ; tic” by Sam Price? Jimmy Rushing j singing the “Rusty Dusty” blues I takes the cake, for what we used ^o know as the “Mama Mama Blues”. “Don’t Get Around Anymore” is still high on our li.'ts but now it’s best by Duke Ellington, composer. New smoothie is “I Can’t Stand Los ing You” by the good old Ink Spots who also lay down mediocrely “Never !\Iake the Same Mistake”. “Rose Ann of Charing Cross” by the Four Vagabonds is quite a sender. “Blues Surreal” by Bob Crosby is on every piccolo in town. Two jumps worthy of mention are “Boogie Woogie” by T. Dorsev and the good “Apollo Jump” by our old i friend Lucky Millinder. The turn- I tables in the dorm rate “He’s My I Guy” backed by “Four Leaf Clov- j er” as waxed by Ella right along with her recent “I Must Have That Man”. “Don’t Stop Now” is one of the new Beverly White discs. How to rate it? A BIG question mark! And now we leave you with our favorite jump of the year “Take It and Git!” O. K. boys, I got it! Se riously now, I was happy to write this little column for you and say, offhand, I do hope you have found it informative—and most of all en tertaining. Got it and gone! S’long, MAXINE LAWSON ’43.
