Hoffler Visits Biology Class Section III General Biology Class enjoyed an interesting lecture-demon- stration by Dr. VV. W. Hoffler, col lege physician. Dr. Hoffler discussed the circulatory system and the cause and method of treatment of several diseases associated with the circula tion of the blood. Among the diseases discussed were high blood pressure, low blood pressure, rheumatic fever and leakage of the heart. A question- and-answer period followed and much practical information "vas gained. “Smooth” Fashions Wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles. What else could so thoroughly do the job of destroying the appearance of good grooming. Well, fashion designers have discovered a solution to this problem. No more worries about your apparrel whether you travel, party, work or go to school. They do not pretend, however, that you can tie tliese garments into knots, but they do say wrinkles hang out in no time flat when they are unpacked. These sensational fabrics are wool knits and silks which hav:- an elasti city of fiber that makes triem spring quickly back into shape, laces which have a wide-spaced construction that doesn’t show wrinkles, and rayons which are crease-resistant. Out of these materials you have your spun rayon lightweight dress, which is as suitable in the summer as the winter; the tie silk dress, an other fabric that is good for the year round; the wool jersey separates which are wonderful traveling com panions; and the wool knit suit which won’t wrinkle, but should not be put on a hanger even at home. Even bed time is not excuse for wrinkles. The nylon nighties insure you of daintiness and good grooming. Fabrics such as these will pack well, are easy to care for and keep you unrunipled all 24 hours of the day. Desire What is my aim in life? I don’t know that I may say. But to gain the knowledge that I seek And wait for that inevitable day. I liope diat long ere that 111 have reached my goal. And gained for myself a teacher’s post, W'here I’ll be known as a “dear old soul”. And during this time, I hope That 111 have found a worthy mate To share with me the rest of my life, My affairs and my estate. Then when I’m aged and weak, I hope I may retire. And look proudly back upon my life, As I sit by my own bright fire. —Rudolph V, Randolph Suggestions For The Use Of Your Library Our college library should be a source of interest to every student on the campus because of the inspiring contributions that it makes to our ac ademic and social welfare. Although it is perhaps thought of as an insignifi cant building, it contains many, many books that are our friends. “Friends” should be given the best of consideration, and so we should give it to our good friends, the books of various descriptions, who will nev er, no never, forsake us. Reading is a wonderful thing which enriches our lives. The materials for reading are contained in our books who make their home in our college library. Once in awhile books are tak en from their home and put down in some “remote places” and forgotten. If you are ever in these “remote places ’ and you come across your life long “friends,” you should think enough of them to return them to their proper places in the library. This returning of books will cause the over-night books to be available at the right time. The materials in our library are growing so we should take advantage by reading books and more books. “Reading increases the vocabulary”, and Knowledge is power”. Not any levels, intellectually are unattainable, if we but read daily assigned material as well as the unassigned. “A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a great deal of learning is a powerful weapon in accomplishing our respective goals.” So in this year of 1951, let s resolve to obtain every thing our library has to offer for our development. —Evelyn Hodges, ’51 JIMMIE WALKER AT FORT SILL Fort Meade, Md., Jan. 17 Ret. James Walker, 702 Walnut Street^ Farmville, N. C., has been assigned to the 75th Field Artillery Battalion, Fort Sill, Okla., after completing pro cessing here at the 2053rd Reception Center. Prior to his induction. Recruit Walker was a teacher and coach at C. F. Pope High School, Burgaw,N.C. He was graduated from State’Col lege, Ehzabeth City, N. C., receiving a Bachelor of Science degree. My Night of Terror It was a warm, dark, windy night in July. I had been to the movies alone. Living on the outskirts of town, I was a little uneasy abo't making my journey home. Turnin» off the main highway, my uneasiness grew because there were sev-ral old empty buildings which I had to pass before I readied my destination, There were an old brick gin house, that was in use only once a year, and three dilapidated houses that som?- time gave shelter to prisoners and tramps. The wind was whistling in the tree tops, frogs were croaking in their holes, dogs were barking and howl- ing, and a black cat ran across the road. What a night! Trying to get home as quickly as I could, I ran across a field. Just as I came out of the field, a person dressed in black ran by me. I stopped and looked to see if I could recognize who it was, and suddenly, I heard a noise behind me. Turning around, 1 saw a tall man standing in front of me, with a long broom handle in his hand. He said, “You did come back, didn’t you?” He drew back to strike me, but I cried out, “No, this aint me!” He said, “E.xcuse me, I thought you were Censis,” and ran down the road. After he left, I paused a moment to see if he would catch Censis, but he did not. Then with my heart keep ing time with my feet, I ran the rest of the way home. —Laura A. Deal Do You Have a Hobby" oh, yes, a hobby takes a litde t!m but it is so enjoyable. It really is no. work; it is play. Also there is mudi information that may be gained from it. On January 16, President S. D. Williams demonstrated for Future Scientists his hobby, the developing and enlarging of pictures. Everyone enjoyed watching him assemble his materials and was eager to know what would happen ne.xt. In a short while, however, that was found out, for he gave explanations and proceeded to carry a film through several pjrocess- es necessary for development and en largement. So little time was taken that members of the club were amaz ed to see how quickly and how easily it could be done. It was just one of the President’s hobbies, but the demonstration gave V'aluable information to Future Sci entists. —Ruby C. Lyons THE GIFT OF THE YEAR Called to New York, on a solemn occasion, early in December, a mem ber of the student body had the mis fortune to lose his wallet. It contain ed his personal papers, which were of value, and a small sum of money. Being somewhat pessimistic, he con sidered the wallet lost, and never thought of regaining it. Returning after the Holidays with no thought of his misfortune, he was given a package by the postman. K contained (you guessed it) his wallet with every item in place, money hav ing been used for shipping purpose. Of course he is very broud of bis good fortune, and of his renewed faith in mankind, which he considers the gift of the year.
