The time-honored gjey-flannel suit with a new sense of relax ation. The jacket takes an easy breath through the waist, glides to a cutoff at the hips over a swing of pleats. A suit that breezes from washing machine to wearer in an hour’s time, its jacket button ed in silver over a slim skirt, pleats arrive on the spring scene to stay, kept imperishable by the new bitiias that make crispness a ojermaient thine: \An. Eton jacket buttoning at the sliced off at the hip a^iiove a collection of fine pleats. Everything is casual here—the collar flung open, the cuffs llxmg back, the jacket brass- buttoned over a pleated skirt. The hip-clinging jacket opens to leveal a one-piece dress travel ing in a two-piece disguise. The \Htfitted bodice meanders down t to the "liiTO, where it suddenly \ becomes a c»jpcle of pleats. The easy-going siit: A tweed jacket th»\. hangs easily over its slim skirt, loopd a skinny tie under its roundecN^llai The smoothness of jersey,'^in jacket buttoning decorously fri neck to hips, melting into matching skirt.

Ga. 28—Birthday Dance 29—^Freshman Dance 28—29 Youth Day o Six '57 Graduates Announce Marriages CECIL.E HARRISON We have received word that BARBOUR Ths is what some of our sisters have to say obtu “IT”. LaVonne Barbour, a junior from Annapolis, Maryland says, “I feel it woxild not present such a drastic prob lem if the fellows from A&T should stop visiting our campiis. If this should happen the girls would have a more selective group visiting them from elsewhere, probably fellows from other col leges near Bennett. Since there are many forms of transportation, travel would hardly present a problem. I think there are many young men who could supplement for the A&T fellows.” Gwyndolyn Mackel, a fresh- Cecile Harrison, says, “I don’t think the girls woiild resort to any extreme behavior if the fellows from A&T ceased to show up. Many of vis might get lonely and we might miss their presence at social functions. Really, if the situation gets of hand. I’ll just go over to Texas and import some natural bom Texas Ranchers”. O. nett graduates who were candi dates for the WIIS degree re ceived them. We extend sincere best wishes for unclouded happi' ness and continued spirit of one ness to you and yours, Bennett Sisters, Mrs. William Brown (De- lores Alexander), Mrs. George McPhee (Golria Blatch), Mrs. Gil bert H. Caldwell (Grace Dimgee), Mrs. William Cannady (Mayme Ellertjy), Mrs. l>wis Schworzkopf (Edith Kemodle), Mrs. Quinn Williams (Audrey Mead). According to a recent news bul letin from Washington, D. C., Mildred Taylor, ’57 graduate and May Queen of last year, is now a candidate for her MRS degree— the lucky man, Mr. Lewis Wood son, a student of architecture at Howard University. man from Chicago has a different view of. the picture. Gwyn feels, “Well-l-i-1, it just woiild be plain sad and would affect some of us greatly. There are plenty of real great fellows attending A&T, and since we have no other alternat ive we just must have them for our dances and companionship. Gee whiz, no, we might become maladjusted.” II LEAD BENNETT FROSH—Seated around the table discussing plans for second semester ac tivities are these recently-elected fresnmen class officers at Bennett College.
