Train Ride With Mrs. LBJ (Continued) crowded and "jam packed” with equipment and paraphernalia as Mrs. Fowler had predicted. I didn’t know it, but Mrs. Fowler was aboard. She asked my two Murfreesboro friends if Mrs. Underwood was in the group. After they pointed me out, she came over and introduced her self. It was almost like meeting an old friend. She was just as charming as she had sounded over the telephone. We found we had many things in common- including an old house she lives in in Alexander, Virginia, which was featured on the cover of the February issue of ‘The Ameri can Home” magazine. I was In vited for a visit. About that time, over the loud speaker came an announcement we had all been longing for. We appreciated the honor of riding on Mrs. Johnson’s train and hoped we would get to see her, but we still weren’t sure that we would. We were instructed to gather all our belongings and go back to her car where we were going to get to meet and talk briefly with her; The climax of this special day, this historic occasion, was about to be reached. We went in in small groups. She was sitting gracefully on a small sofa. She wore a red wool dress, and she is beautiful. Her coloring is vivid and her fea tures, soft. So much prettier than her photographs or televi sion appearances show. She is the epitome of graciousness and compassion. Her personality ex udes enthusiasm and her smile is radiant. As I sat beside her and talked for my brief moment, I opened the book The President’s Lady, which had been previously auto graphed, and asked her if she would add a special note for my three grandchildren. I told her my grandson was only three weeks old when his father died, and so he and his two sisters were somehow extra dear to me. She reached over and squeezed my hand, and tears moistened her lovely brown eyes. She add ed this postscript: "To Vick, Marti, and Howard — whose grandmother’s help I so appre ciate.” I passed on with the others to the last car — so gaily dec orated with red white and blue— and sat in a haze contemplatin3 this marvelous woman who truly is a First Lady. And now we were nearing the end of our ride. I looneJ out the window as the train pulled into Ahoskie. Had we got the crowd so glibly promised Mrs. Fowler? We had — yes, we had, bless their hearts — there were 10,000 smiling upturned faces. Bands blared, hands waved, flags and shouting welcomed Lady Bird in the late afternoon sun. After all the fanfare, one little colored boy walked alone down Main Street holding aloft a ban ner with a not-so-strange device, "Swing along with Lady Bird.” He walked with a difference. He had seen the First Lady. I had ridden with her. I walk ed with a difference, too. ☆ ☆ ☆ The term corned beef comes from an old verb, meaning to cure with salt. Two Students Planning Trip to Nassau During Christmas Holiday By A. THOMAS FOSTER Most people wish for a white Christmas: Kay Butler and Car olyn Royer are no different ex cept they are wishing for white sand and no snow. Kay and Car olyn are going to Nassau in the Bahamas during their Christ mas vacation. They are going along with three other girls and a chaperone. Kaye and Carolyn are students here at Chowan. The party of five, all from Nor folk, Va., will leave on the 26 of December and plan to stay "till the money runs out, or we have to come back to school.” Plans for the trip were made last summer. According to Kay, "All five of us worked during the summer and made the plans. We didn’t know till the end of sum mer whether we would be able to go or not.” They had to check on expences because on a trip of this size money is a big factor. Most of the parents are helping out their child, but according to Car olyn, "While our parents are helping us, it is a product of our own initiative. When asked why she wanted to go, Kay said, "I haven’t traveled much, and I wanted to get out. I didn't like the idea of Nassau at first but the lady that is going with us has been before and she said she liked it. Besides, since she has been there before she should know the right places to go.” Carolyn had a simple answer to the question, she said: "I just NASSAU BOUND—Kay Butler, (left) and Carolyn Royer look over a map for their holiday trip to the Bahamas. want to have a good time, and to do something different. I hope to get a good sun-tan.” Carolyn had one more reason of taking the trip, in pure female logic she said, "I’ve always wanted to go swimming at Christmas time.” The party has made hotel and travel reservations so that noth ing will go wrong, they hope. The three other girls going with them are Kathy Elliott of West- hampton College, Virginia; Lau- rain Sutton from Madison Col GUIDING ACTIVE GROUP—Officers of the Alpha Pi Epsilon chapter are, left to right, Hazel Runnings, secretary; Jewel Slaugh ter, social chairman; Faye Drewry, member; Kaye Drewry, program chairman; Mary Ann Crabb, President; Dianne Freeman, Vice-President; Brenda Brodie, historian; and Betty Blaylock, treasurer.

University Has Psychiatrist But Without Couch (ACP)—Dr. Mildred Marshall, a female, couchless psychiatrist, is the newest addition to the health center at Southern Metho dist University, Dallas, Texas. Dr. Marshal, whose presence is the result of two years’ discus sion on the feasibility of a school psychiatrist, says her purpose is not so much curative as it is preventative, reports THE SMU CAMPUS. "It is not that the need of a psychiatrist is greater in col lege,” she said. “Upheavals dur ing college are normal—but in this age group, problems and therapy are not so difficult. Stu dents are still forming their ideas and opinions, and counseling and psychiatry can be put to good use.” Commenting on the lack of a couch in her office. Dr. Marshall said: “I see many college and high school students. It’s all they can do to keep up with the reality of life without regressing on a couch!” ☆ ☆ ☆ A SOLUTION (ACP)—Louisiana State Univer sity’s THE DAILY REVEILLE.
