lor on Friday afternoon, Febru
ary 13, at 4:40 p. m. The presi
dent, Betty Jean Gilliland, open
ed the meeting with prayer. The
president also presided over the
business session. At this meet
ing the new members of the
club were presented for recogni
tion as eligible for membership.
The major requirement for mem
bership in the Math Club is th^t
a student take a year (or more) of
Mathematics, and have a “B”.
The girls invited to become
members were: Bonnie Bunn,
Patricia Clark, Caroline Good

ardson, Carolyn Robinson, Em-
ojeane Womedarf, Frances Bob
bitt, Fay Buck, Eva Gray Davis,
Betsy Graham, Barbara Hedrick,
Harriet McAuley, Gladys Mc
Cain, Anita Williamson, and Shir
ley Willis.
A very interesting program was
given by Doris Dunn, Faye Jen
kins, and Ann McGirt on the
“History of Mathematics.” The
big topic was divided into three
sub'-topics, and these were the
■beginning of Mathematics until
1636 presented by Doris Dunn,
the history of mathematics from
1636 to 1800 given by Faye Jen
kins, and the development of
-math during the nineteenth and
"twentieth centuries presented by
-Ann McGirt. These talks prov
ed to be very interesting and in
formative.

- The February meeting of the
Business Student’s Club was
held on February 10 in the col
lege parlors. Mr. Hector Mac-
Lean, Mayor of Lumberton, was
the guest speaker, and he gave
a very inspiring talk on his ex
perience with secretaries and
their work. An informal dis
cussion followed his talk.
Members of the Business De
partment are delighted that four-
year courses have been addded
to our curriculum. One can ma
jor in Business Education—either
for teaching business subjects,
or for secretarial administration.
The curriculum has been plan
ned according to cetification re
quirements of the Department
of Education of North Carolina.
The new catalogue will carry
full information regarding these
courses.
The Business Department has
recently sent a questionnaire to
more than 100 former students
experience. They are trying to
find out what duties they per
form in their work, the stand
ards that are required by their
employers, the machines most
used, and salaries
and what they told of the then
struggling little Presbyterian col
lege that he sent his own daugh
ter down south to the school and
influenced several other New
York girls to come.

OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS
The St. Cecelis Music Club had
a business meeting at their last
gathering. The major topic on
the agenda was how to raise
money. After much discussion,
the members decided to try their
hand at selling ham sandwiches.
Marlene Jones was asked to be
in charge. Delicious refresh
ments were served to the group
:at the close of the meeting. By
the way, I hear they did quite
well on their sale of ham sand
wiches.
The International Relations
Club members were in for a
rare treat on Wednesday, Febru
ary 25th at 4:40 p. m. This meet
ing, which was held in the right
front parlor, proved to be one of
the outstanding meetings of the
year. The president, Joyce
Sweat, presided over the meet
ing and the short business ses
sion. During this time an IRC
pin was presented to Miss Carol
Robertson who is the faculty
sponsor for the club. The long
awaited program then got un
derway. The speaker for the
afternoon was Mr. Raymond
Dawson, who is the professor of
Social Science at Presbyterian
Junior College in Maxton. I am
sure everyone remembers the ex
cellent talk Mr. Dawson made in
chapel on the “United States
Foreign Policy in Spain.” The
topic he chose for this meeting
of the International Relations
Club was very much on the same
order. Mr. Dawson presented a
very interesting and informative
talk on some of the problems con
fronting the unification of West
ern Europe. This talk was en
joyed by all present at the meet
ing. A brief discussion followed.
The William Bartram Scien
tific Society met in the front par
lor of the college on Tuesday,
president, Doris Calloway, called
the meeting to order.
A very interesting program was
given by Virginia Owen on the
development of antibiotic drugs.
During the course of her talk,
Virginia showed a cult of the
penicillin mold. She proved
through the use of an illustration
> the effect penicillin had on dis-

Dear Aunt AbigaU,
I want so badly to have friends,
but people just don’t seem to like
to be around me. I’m always kid
ding people and I’m full of jokes.
Can you advise me? What am I
doing iwrong?
Your desperately.
Tact Less
Dear Tact,
Why don’t you wear a dead
pan expression and sling out
some sarcasm? Maybe this will
win some friends.
Yours,
Aunt A.

Dear Aunt Aby,
I have a new car, a beautiful
house with all modern conven
iences, all the clothes I want, and
my dad is a millionaire. The only
thing I haven’t got is friends.
Please help me.
Sincerely,
Hall Tosis
Dear Miss Tosis,
The best advice I can give you
is—start using Ipana—
Yours,
Aunt A.
Since my mother is employed as
a buyer for women’s stores, I
have started regarding myself
in a small way as a fashion au
thority. Mother receives the
“nev/s” and passes it to me.
Anything goes this year. Full
skirts are narrowing, pastel co
lors are coming forward. White
leads the fashion world.
The surprise look, which re
sembles the wrap-a-round, takes
possession of the eye with its
diagonal lines. It seems to have
the advantage of easy stitching.
New materials interest me.
Judging from the number of
knife pleated skirts seen on cam
pus, Loutte is a winner. Loutte
is a mixture of 55% orlon and
45% wool. Men professors on
campus still are at a disadvan
tage here, for Loutte for men is
available only in a few stores
which feature experimental lines.
(Namely those members of Al
lied Arts, Inc.)
Loutte is available for sew
ing and costs about five dollars
a yard. Riborlon, a knit fabric
for coats, may be purchased for
around ten dollars a yard. Ribor
lon is easily cleaned, and a coat
made of it can be washed in
warm suds in any washing ma
chine. If you try to hand wash
a coat, I recommend getting the
help of at least one other person.
It’s a well-known, fact on Var
dell II that it takes two people
to lift a wet orlon coat.

Dear Aunt Aby,
My boy friend is going to school

him very much! How can I get
him to write to me?
Yours truly.

Dear F. G.,
You might try sending a box of
self-addressed envelopes equipped
with stamps' Also enclose a check
for ten dollars just for effort.
Hope you hear from him soon.
