Have One Last Terrific Fling Before Settling Down To Books One more glorious week end ! One moi’e^ week end of freedom before burying ourselves under a pile of books and papers or hibernating in the library until that fateful week of exams. And what to do with it? First, Friday after classes, dress in your prettiest spring outfit and go to the most elegant restaurant and eat until you have to loosen your bolt to the last notch. Don’t think about the calories; they may remind you of biology or home ec. Hext, if you’re not worn out by the thought of what the next weeks hold, go to some nice place with candlelight and soft music for dancing. The music might quiet your nerves unless, of course, it reminds you of a music theory exam approaching. Saturday go to the grocery store and load up wdth things to nibble on and take your last visit to the sun- porch. That night look your nicest because beginning Monday, your eyes will start bagging, your cheeks will start sagging, and it will be nice to remember that you once looked presentable. Go to a sad, romantic movie starring your favorite actor with your favorite feller and get all thoughts of men and romance out of your system, unless the picture show reminds you of S.M.S. assemblies. (Ill that case, invent your own enter tainment.) Sunday, a quiet picnic beside t' beautiful lake will take your mind off your troubles, that is, if it doesn’t remind you of the water pump which you don’t understand at all, but will most probably be on your chemistry exam. If none of these things take you away from it all, just go to bed and hope you never wake up. in? of 3e- ?lii ;ar )Bf isi ,Bl' iG ii.t !0>' i>'S 3tS )0 irt' ofU ill. :ee, ill® ■jr- ice ;gf Al- jet aUi ofli MARY JORDAN Town: Fayetteville, i Age: 19. i ^air: Brown.

An old man was sitting on the porch of a little village store when a big, shiny car drove up with two strangers in it, one of whom called out, “Hey there, how long has this town been dead?” The old man looked at them over the rims of his spectacles, then replied, “AYell not long, I guess. You’re the first buz zards I’ve seen.” It is believing in roses that brings them into bloom.—French Proverh. SMS Girls Have Ideal Time At Beach-No Cares, Mosquitoes, Or Men If you want to really know what a family is like, peek in its medicine cabinet. ^aint Mary^s Girls Wonder Why Precious Time Seems To Fly By , Saint Mary’s Sallie has just come her room after playing a few '^’*lck hands of bridge. It is now ‘''■0 o’clock. I *Tliis is wonderful,” she thinks ^Ppily. “I’ve got the whole after- free. If I read from now until "ffler, I can finish my book.” Eifteen minutes later she has the ^lo adjusted to her taste, and has ‘led down with a box of cookies her book. Hut really,” she decides. “I don’t to spend all afternoon reading, all, I should write Mother and l^ddy often enough for them to I’m still alive.” j^^y three, she has finished her let- I®' (After she wrote her parents. Just had to write her best friend. ^ ®W minutes less reading wouldn’t ,^l-6r anyway.) She picks up her ly E again, and this time she actual- i( *'®uds two pages. Then the phone ringing. ^ ve just got to answer it,” Sallie says to herself after the eighth ring. “It just might be for me.” Unfortunately, by the time Sallie gets to the other end of the hall, the phone has stopped ringing. On the way back to her room, she stops to bum a cigarette. Of course she gets into a conversation. Half an hour later it occurs to her that she is sup posed to be reading. By now the program she was lis tening to is over, and she has to find another. She returns to her book and reads all of five pages before her roommate comes in from lab. “I know you’re tired of reading,” says Roomie. “A little bridge is just what you need.” “All right,” agrees Sallie. “But only a couple of hands, and then I’ll get back to my book.” The bridge game ends at quarter to six. As she gets dressed for din ner, Sallie is bewildered. “Roomie,” says she, “I just can’t understand why I never get any thing done.” Summertime and the livin’ was easy. _ The beach just oozed with beautiful, big mosquitoes and largo, fat sandspurs. It was wonderful! Ho doubt about it. AYliy, Saint Mary’s girls had more fun at the beach this past summer than they ever dreamed of having before! All the beach bums of the former years were in the Army and had been re placed by the most adorable thir teen-year-olds imaginable. And the stinging nettles . . . oh, they were really having a great time. There were about 200 of the little parachutes per square inch of sand. I he weather was excellent too. Hot over 130 degrees in the shade during the day, and not under 95 degrees at night. Ho fear of catch ing a cold. Prices were good. Cheeseburgers were seventy-five cents, tax included; a pack of cigarettes cost only thirty- five cents, and cokes were fifteen cents. A few articles were a little unreasonable, but who could gripe with the above essentials of life so cheap I House parties were fine every where. Didn’t need chaperones. Ho men anyway, so the girls just had a gieat time being together. It was sort of like moving Saint Mary’s to to the ocean. Swimming was wonderful. Ho one around to pester the girls but tho_ stinging nettles, and they did their best to keep the few lonesomc- for-their-lovers-girls happy. Hobody got ducked; nobody got drowned; best of all, nobody had to worry ui fig'iH’cs in bathing suits. Why nobody’s roommate even cared how she' looked I The sun tans helped to make the summer coinjilete. Everyone had the reddest blisters. Too, that old sun had a lot of help from the sand and wind. The sun baked the sand and the girls, and the wind blew tlie nice hot dirt on the girls. It really helped I Felt so good, too. New Summer Fashions Call For Slim, Casual, Tailored Look Six new looks stand out for this summer and form the basis of a sum mer wardrobe. I'he first look is the casual look which could be the sweatered-dress. This is a look that appears every year and one that can not be beat. The second look is the slim look. Dresses are straight and simple, and coats are as slender as possible. The third look is the un- ruflled day look. A dress that would fit here is a pleated dress The fourth look is the city look composed of the shirtwaist. This look is sim ilar to the casual look because it is a yearly favorite. The fifth look is the full-skirted print. The print has been rescued from seclusion and is now in its glory. The sixth and last look is the after-five look which is without its limits but is usually a soft dress in a soft fabric. It you’re a seamstress, you’re lucky ; you can make clothes that are individual and suit only you. There are so many luscious materials out these days that one won’t have a hard time in choosing an outstand ing selection. Some more ideas: why not make a dress of nylon or satin striped denim? A well chosen pat tern in these materials could be hard to beat. The print materials this year are prettier than ever before. Choose one of them and see the com pliments fly. nothing could be pret- tiei than a dress in black and white checks. If you’re smart, you will make a coat that can be worn as a robe, dress, or wrap. The striking accessories out these days will make it your most versatile outfit. Where’s my needle ? I .'-r
