COMMEN’CEMKNT
We could all be recognized, con
fused, scared, and anxious. The faces
of some were even expressionless!
We had just made our debut at Ben
nett College. This was September
1 1. Of course we had been informed
that our arrival was expected by
five o’clock but nevertheless some
;Mrived later. The junior counselors
met and made each of us feel a part
ol the college.
During Freshman Orientation
Week, which was held September
n ,?nd 12, we were introduced to the
way of life at Bennett College. We
became acquainted with the faculty
and staff at a formal reception held
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. David
D. Jones.
After a week of tests, physical ex-
;.ms, and getting aca.uainted, the
treshmen and new students were
honored at a formal dinner which was
held in the dining room. Now we are
beginning to feel very collegiate.
When the day came for the begin
ning of freshmen initiation, we were
all excited. Though this had been a
tradition durnig orientation, it seem-
ingl.v did not work for the class of
’f)H. We made history at Bennett by
failing to continue the initiation.
In our class we have fifteen of the
forty-eight represented, along with
two countries, China and Japan.
Though we have been here only a
short while we are well represented
in campus organizations including
the Freshmen Theatre Guild and
choir.
One member of our class has had a
relative to finish Bennett. Juanita
McCleod, whose sister, Mildred fin
ished Bennett last year, is following
in her footprints as a music student.
We have other talent in our class;
Mary King, Felisha Thornton, pian
ists; Adelia Amond, Patricia Fant,
soloists, and Charlotte Brown, dra
matic reader.
We are looking forward to a very
inspiring four years as students of
Bennett College.

There is nothing like a little time
well spent in thorough grooming to
make you a different woman. Yes,
even here among 500 women you can
become a different woman through
your make-up, your clothes, and your
personality. Let us not consider fash
ions as they come and go, but see
what is becoming to you and is ap
propriate to wear.
From the outset then we must see
that it is a matter of fit that deter
mines how a woman looks in her
clothes. Whether short, medium, or
tall, your clothes must fit to look like
they were made for you, not the mod
el in Charm Magazine. Only you can
determine that by having them fitted
or by fitting them yourself. The
clothes you buy are worn by .you and
can only become characteristic of you
wh?n they are the right length, style,
'"d color for you.
All right, girls, so now that our
clothes fit, let us see what clothes we
are going to read about this month.
Since everyone is football crazy now
and can hardly wait for the next big
game, why not consider sportswear?
O. K.?
Speaking of sportswear, did you
see our dear Bennett sisters at the
last game? They were really some
thing out of a fashion revue with
their suits, sport dresses, large shoul
der bags, close-fitted hats with all
sorts of trimmings, beautiful Jewelry,
and the prettiest selection of Fall
shoes I have ever seen. What an eye-
full So many of us got such an eyeful
that we forgot completely about the
big game. That's a woman for you!
Oh, it was sportswear that I was
talking about, hey? Don’t you love
ruits? There is so much to be done
with one wonderful suit. A suit that
can be worn many times and so many
places; the suit that you look good in
every time you wear it. That suit to
me is a straight and simple job that
you can wear plain, give it a velvet
touch for dress, add one of those dar
ling jewel neckline sweaters and have
I a wonderful night, or count on these
... gloves, armful of bracelets, ropes
of beads, lacy handkerchiefs, velvet
^ bags and veils. They all can be worn
to glamorize that suit that we started
to the game with at A. & T.
Wherever you go, you should meas
ure in your mind clothes with your
j generation's point of view', with this
’ Fall’s points. Easy, not slap-happy.
Colored, but certain colors. Consider
the advisability of red, the advantages
I of pink. Measure the capability of
■ camel’s hair, the new knitted touch
es. Take several sensible steps of
I natural colors and that jersey covers
a lot of ground and one or two darin.g
I ones such as barefoot dress shoes by
i Carmellets, I. Miller, or Tweedies.
These all go to make up your college
j wardrobe and you.
Next month I will talk on holiday
clothes for you to wear. Meanwhile,

THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA
Today one can buy the September
issue of Life for only twenty-cents '
and enjoy a moving story by Ernest:
Hemingway.
The Old Man and The Sea is a '
short novel, only 27,000 words. It;
is much more enjoyable than his last
book. Across The River and Into The
Trees. Within the sharp restrictions
imposed by the very nature of his
story, Hemingway has written with
sure skill. Here is the master techni- ^
can once more at the top of his form,'
doing superbly what he can do better
than anyone else.
This story is of an old Cuban fish
erman who had gone eighty-four
days without making a catch and
of what happened when he hooked
a monster marlin on the eighty-
fifth day. Alone in his little boat, i
unable to fasten the line because ,
the giant fish would break it if he '
did not lessen the strain with his
own body. The old man endured days
and nights of hunger, exhaustion
i-nd piin from the line cutting his :
hands. Finally, he caught the fish |
and lashed it to the side of his boat,'
only to spend his return voyage
fighting off sharks.
The excitement and the tension of
the old man’s adventure, the magni-
ficance of the great marlin, and the;
beauty of days and nights alone on
the gulf stream are all well conveyed
in The Old Man and The Sea. Mr.
Hemingway has always excelled in
describing physical adventure and
the emotional atmosphere of it. Many
of his stories have glorified courage
in the face of danger. This one does
too, for the old man is the very em
bodiment of courage.
The Cuban fisherman in this storj' ^
is not only courageous, he is humble
and gently proud, aware of beauty
and filled with a sense of brother
hood with nature.
Although, The Old .’Man and The
Sea is good, it is good only in a
limited way. The fisherman is noJ
a well-characterized individual. Ha;
is a symbol of an attitude toward
life. He often thinks and talks poeti
cally and symbolically, and so arti-
fically.
If you read Hemingway’s last
! bock. Across The River and Into
The l';ees. I’m sure you will, at first,
begin reading Tlie Old Man And The
Sea, with a critical point of view, but
it will be difficult to continue after
you begin to go with the old man
' throughout his dangerous adventure.

Famous words of famous People;
Seniors, are you willing to accept
responsibility of leadership?
Bennett girls Do get married.
Who’s in the limelight now with
J. B., M. D., and J. R., now that A.
L. W.; K. D. W. and D. L. T. are
singing “I Wonder Who’s Kissing
him Now?
I hear L. M. isn’t as much in love
with that frat pin as she is supposed
to be, could be the first weeks of
school were profitable.
It seems as if wedding vows and
rings are left at the altar.
Girls, it’s changed. The freshmen
won’t have a chance to take the up
perclassmen’s boy friends, now that
v.'e won’t have any men on the cam
pus anyway.
Have you heard “Pug” sing
“Somewhere along the Way,” I
wonder why?
Now that A. B. is married, P. C.
is singing “I Went to Your Wedding.”
Why doesn't G. Me L. be consider
ate of her friends in love affairs?
Those triangle affairs still exist
don’t they J. R. and L. D.?
November 4th is not only Election
Day, there is one between Spellman
and Bennett. Remember the "Pre
ference Song?”
M. H. is constantly playing “Try
ing to Forget You,” I wonder if it’s
for J. F.
Love is never a problem for M.
Y. L., she is “Loaded with Love.”
Watch out girls, M. W. is on the
lookout for a beau, the man she wins
may be your own.
Korean situation isn't the only bad
situation as far as men are concern
ed, Hey Reynold Hall.
Will the arrival of H. McP. blot the
affair of E.R. and N.C.:’
L.G.S. is a one-man’s girl. January
isn’t too far away.
Seems as if J. Y. is going for her
self although she is a new addition to
the student body. Keep up the good
works girl.
A hint to the girls;
Your man won’t run away, don’t
hold them so close, others are look
ing at you.
