MARTHA TAYLOR: “My trip to Wil mington was very interesting. Meeting many students from all over North Caro lina and some from Europe proved most enjoyable. Groups in which ideas were exchanged were the most valuable part of the Congress. All in all, the convention was very worthwhile and helpful. I am sure all the delegates who attended pro fited greatly. I did.” JIMMY BAUCOM: “The Congress, be sides being most enjoyable to all of us, was also helpful in that it gave us valuable ideas to be executed in our home councils, and inspiration to carry out these ideas. The days I spent in Wilmington will be paramount in my memories. I hope, and will try to make it so, that the council and the student body as a whole will bene fit from our going. The discussion groups were most helpful, and the entire exper ience was the utmost in perfection.” ANNE WHITE: “While attending the Congress, I learned many things about what a Student Congress should do. There were discussion groups which helped every one. In my way of thinking, I thought the “Swap Shop” groups were the best. In this shop the students from many places told what their council did about different matters. The whole convention was truly a success.” Mrs, Ballou Talks to French Classes Mrs. J. W. Ballou came back to French class the day after Halloween to share with both French classes her “week-end in Paris” last spring. Last year when her daughter Nellie Holmes enrolled for French, Mrs. Ballou decided she would start too, to brush up on her “Parlez-vousing” in case she should be going to France sometime. Little did she dream then that within a lew months she would be deep in the heart of Paris, managing to surprise a per fume saleslady with “merci beaucoup”. She and Mr. Ballou spent two months in England, while Mr. Ballou was there representing the Imperial Tobacco Com pany. They flew to Paris one week/end but made the return trip to London by train and ferry, from Calais to Dover. It was a packed week-end of sightsee ing, shopping, and Folies Bergere. They were able to “crowd in” one bus trip to Versailles and another in Paris. She show ed a few souvenirs and pictures from her “wonderful week-end to beautiful Paris”. There was precious little time for shopp ing, as stores in Paris are closed Saturday afternoon and Monday morning, she ex plained. The perfume and leather shops, the rose window in Notre Dame, the service Sun day morning in the American Cathedral, the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, the “Mona Lisa”, “Venus de Milo”, and “The Winged Victory” in the Louvre, the Champs-EIysees, .■Xrc de Triomphe, etc. contributed to a “thrilling visit which I hope you’ll be saving your pennies for,” she told the classes.
