W. CAMPUS By JERRY KEETER of the girls make for him. Due to the fact that I have select ed the topic “GIRLS ON THE G. W. CAMPUS,” as my subject, this article will be very limited but wisely stated. The incompanionability of the female species on this campus amaz es me. To speak to this creature without having known her for at least a period of a half year, you are considered fresh; and after the first casual date you are considered a wolf by the rest of the tribe. To date one of the girls you almost have to assure her that you intend to marry her. Having been lucky (?) enough to date her you are considered to be her steady for the rest of your college days. If you should succeed in dating another girl, you are then considered a However if a new face of the male variety appears on the campus, then it’s no holds barred in the mad scramble that your girl and the rest It’s a losing battle, as you fel lows can see. The statement that “It’s a Woman’s World” has never been better stated. Give up boys, you GILLIATTS' HUDSON'S Weatherbird FLOWER SHOP Velvet Step City Club SHELBY, N. C.

The Philosophy Of The Race Problem I thank an all-king Creator for this tremendous possibility, that my skin, thought black, may cover a heart as pure as any that beats within a Saxon’s breast. I thank Him that my hair, though kinked, may cover a brain which can think as clearly and reason as profoundly as that of the fairest white. I thank Him that the bulge of my lips and the spread of my nose may become my badge of honor if, after fifty years of education, I can show the rudiments, at least, of that mental and moral development, to acquire which the Anglo-Saxon has taken a half-score of centuries. No Doubt How He Stood A little old man was seen every Sunday morning walking to the church of his choice. He was deaf; so he could not hear a word of the sermon, or the music by the choir, or the hymns sung by the congrega tion. A scoffer asked, “Why do you spend your Sundays in that church when you can’t hear a word ” He replied “I want my neighbors to know which side I’m on.” —Charity and Children. Compliments TEDDER MOTOR CO. DODGE - PLYMOUTH Sales and Service 215 S. Washington SHELBY, N. C. I am a dreamer. Some dreamers enjoy writing their thoughts down on paper. I am in the class of dream ers who prefers to sketch dreams on paper. The sketching class of dreamers can be labeled as artists or designers. Commercial designing has become my dream vocation. Prom dreams come ideas which materialize into practical and profitable finished products. The automobile is a not able example of a dream’s success. Experience is an essential factor in the training of a designer be cause it teaches technical and cor rect methods of operation. The experience that I have achieved has been mostly for fun and practice. One attempt at designing for pay taught me the meaning of the words “deadline” and “precision.” A de signer is given a set time and a set objective in which to do his work; the rest is up to his own discretion. Well known designers earn from ten thousand to fifty thousand dol lars a year. Raymond Lowey, a popular furniture designer, exceeds the fifty thousand dollar mark. The field of design will allow me to create for the public products of my own imagination. The de signer helps to detour the thoughts of a harried mind from realism to thoughts of the imagination. College training is essential in the preparation of a good artist. Without a varied knowledge of the world about me, I would be con fined to nothing but fantasy. The art of correct speech will take me further on my way to success than the combined talents of Da Vinci and Rembrandt. By attending a college for one year and taking de signing in an art institute for three years, an A. B. degree can be ac quired. Natural artistic ability is helpful in becoming a designer, but a per son with no trace of talent at all can be taught the trade at the bet ter art schools. New York City is known to have two of the best schools in our country. Parson School of Design and Pratt Institute. These schools uncover the secrets of true designing to their pupils. Art is not the only course offered by these schools, however. Public relations, selling, psychology, and history are just a few subjects that are injected into the minds of the design students. The Christian man or woman in any field or vocation has a chance to witness for God. The opportun ity to serve God can be utilized many times a day with the personal contacts he makes. I have the blessing of being handy with a pencil and a brush and I must develop that which God has given me. The church offers me many outlets in which to serve and glorify him. Each and every person today has benefited from the ingenuity of a commercial designer. Comfort is added to life by furniture, homes, appliances, automobiles, and name less other products of the design er’s dreams. Beauty and variety are added to these luxuries by de signers. Designers will be develop ing safety features for the home, the highway and for all hazards of life. The Commercial designer’s dreams have helped to make Ameri ca great.
