Under the soft coiat you may wear the tricolor silk shan tung dress that has returned af ter one hundred years. Along with the coat you may wear the sleek patent leather pump that has been arOund for quite a while. For school the new brown and black-^atch plaids are still the rage, especially with wool scarves. Bermudas are still here and will be for time to come. A combination of Bermudas and argyle socks with middy blous es or sloppy-joe shirts is good for a casual campus atmosphere. For a better appearance, you may wear a trim man-tailored blouse or a close knit sweater. Adding its tang to every fash ion under the sun, the cool clarity of lemon yellow takes the lead this spring and sum mer. It will be used from the dressiest occasions right down to the bathing suits. Girls, don’t feel that your wardrobe isn’t complete or styl ish you don’t have all the styles and fashions mentioned. If your budget is liinited, try making or even' remaking- some of your clothing. Get new ac cessories fOr an old dress and it will look as good as new. Be sure to take good care of what you do have and it will look nice on you. It’s not what you wear but how you wear it that counts. Bryant Presents Recital Miss Joyce M. Bryant, pro fessor of music education and voice, will present her recital in the auditorium at Flora Mac donald on January 30, 1956 Her progam will consist of the following pieces. “Green- sleeves” This is a seventeenth century piece and consists of a theme with variations.

After intermission she will render “Poem” by Charles Grif- for who is a composer contem porary of Gershwin. “Reverie and Petite Valse” is by Caplet who is also about the time of Gershwin. “Whirlwind’’ by Krantz ends the program. Christian Association is in the midst of plans for redecorating Watkins Hall. Much progress has already been made toward ob taining this goal. Foam rubber to cushion the window seat has been ordered and a merchant from Virginia has donated the material with which to cover the window seat. Very graciously an anonymous individual has donated the drapery material. Mr. Glenn Overton has had th^; bookcases built and Mrs. Flora Ferry has donated several fic tion books from the college li brary to be used in Watkins. An other merchant from South Bos ton, Virginia, has donated a gooseneck-lamp and ' the C. A. plans to purchase another one. The committee is working on the possibility of getting some tables and chairs that Mr. Lang has which can be very nicely redecorated for use in Watkins. At one end of the room will probably be a reading nook and the tables and chairs will be conveniently arranged for study ing, reading, or writing letters. Thus the C. A. hopes to make Watkins Hall a more worshipful and comfortable place for the students who use its facilities. Basketball Begins With Tourney The air is extremely brisk outside, football season has past with its annual bowl games, and on the campus of F. M. C. bas ketball is in the air, and in the hearts and minds of those ath lete’s whose enthusiasum has been gradually mounting.There is much expectancy in the air, and lots of hard work going on, for the tournament gets under way Feb. 21, and continues through Feb. 23. Jane McLeod, Head of Basket ball on the Athletic Association Board, says she plans to get two referees from the town of Red Springs' to officiate the games. Letters will be given at the end of the season to those earning them.

Soph's Take Tests Dr. Leslie Bullock gave the sophomores who plan to major jin Bible and Christian Edu cation a series of three tests on January 9, 10, and 11. These tests consisted of Kuder’s occu pational interest test, Allport’s values test, and Thurstone’s temperament analysis test.
