And you should have heard the
girls in Harj)er Hall the other
night.
"It's terrific!”
"It's darling!”
"Ooh! Gosh! Isn’t it cute?”
it’s gorgeous! It's lush!”
— Just a fefv of the adjectives
used to describe the new spring
hat Betty proudly modeled down
the hall. The object of the girls
admiration was a pink straw crea
"I forgot to tell you,
marked suddenly. ''Ro,;r'
of my pet likes.”

things I do.”
Jerry left after that, but I sat I

that bonnet!
H; ve you ever noticed a bird
hopping around on the grass al
ways alert—always about its busi
ness? If you perk up your ears
you might even hear a sweet, soft
melody. This time it isn’t a bird—
it's Jerry Ball, small but wide
awake, alert, and minding her
business—^yes, Roger.
Jerry was born in New York,
but her family moved to Charlotte,
N. C., shortly afterward. When
asked what she thinks about AC,
she replied, "Oh, I love it, wouldn’t
be anywhere else. Why? Um—be
cause of my friends and my sor
ority and just everything! My
classes? Well, I like most all of
them, especially literature, but
tben, I’m an English major!”
Pastimes
It struck me that that is Jerry’s I
.■iecrui to life—perhaps she told it j
to the bird>. She has learned to
sing her own song and to listen, {
to cock her head, her ear, to be
alert for another’s song. It's in her '
walk, her talk, and her philosophy,
her understanding of others.
“Now there's a versatile per
se 1" is a remark that has been
much debated concernings its me
rit' as a compliment. It seems log
ical to define versatile as relating
to one who does several different

I {{i* told me that he lives on a |
farm and commutea, that he helps
his folks mj the farm in summer I

I askiHl a lot of questions and
then he grinned slowly and began
to N*olunteer facts and fillings. '

These are Just facts, but I liked
the w^ he told them.
"ACC; just suit* me, because I
(eel a part of it. I'm Just a country
boy, but I've always enjoyed
school. I would like to do post
graduate w'ork. but I guest Uncle
Sam has other plans."
I had to leave him. because he
had a Spanish test to study for.
I like that boy because he talks
easily, smiles slowly and broadly.
Tile first time I saw her I re
ceived two impressions and” then
l»cim3 ctmfused. She was walk
ing from Kinsey to Harper with
a big book utKler her j r m
causing her right shoulder to slope
a little lowvr than th^ left Her
blue eye.s were HkihI on the ground
before her as if she were 1a
thought. Suddenly she stumped
her Uk*. pulled herself more erect
ulancfd ail aU»ut and r«‘sumed
u moderate pace. We.? she the
studious, quiet type, or Ait that
a look of mere drowsln^rs ^nd un
concern indicating dullness umun^
her thinking faculties.
After two niontiis of ano
repassing her on this same route

seems to ufKJerstand herself fairly
well Smiling^ slight out of one cor

a half melancholy and half joking
tone that people considered her
either brainy or just plain stupid.
•’It's funny," she lald. ’'because
I‘m really so average. I have de

We idealists cont<‘nd that in these
hustie-bustle times a person must
seek out treasures already half
buried before they disappear, un-
things well. That anyone can do less a pt*rson is to pursue his
many things without efficiency Is
easily observed.
In the CoIZeje Standard IMction-
ary we find Uiis definiUon: “Vrr
satile^ (1) J)]avin<^ ao aptitude for
new tasks or occupations; many*
1 sided (2) Subject to change; un-
1 constant; variable (3) Freely
goal.s empty-handt*d, minded, and

Mickey “You’re ok in this Eng
lish field."
The pragmatist says you must
learn through doing," so we find
Mickey very active as she pur
sues her physical education and
as she ke<‘ps sportsmanship work
ing in the game of life.
•‘Rear’
The rcali.st will accept Mickey
because it has been proven that
.lihe is a '‘real" efficient worker
and a “real” Interesting person
to know.
It has also t)een observed that
she has a repertoire of facts from
the history field. When questioning
her about the historical inclina
tion. I get this remark from her:
“Oh, 1 had an excellent history
teacher in high school."
Whether we find Mickey Raynor
pondering over the character* in
a book, digging up facts relative
to life, or running t4> and fro on a
ball ti*am; there'* always a sense
of well-donenep in the air. Lt^av-
ing us with thi.^ memory. Mickey
will (oon be graduating and taking
with her an aptitude falling gen
uinely undtT the tag versatile."
