POSTSCRIPTS
After a stony silence of three
weeks, Mr. Wharton condescended
to take Mary out to dinner and the
show.
These long-distance affairs aren’t
so bad after all, are they Millie!
But Huber’s not a bad rat while the
cat’s away.
No sooner does John Watlingtoii
get back from winning an oratorical
contest in than he calls
Trances A. for a date.
Billy O’Brien came all the way
from Durham tbe other night to see
Lou. We call her “Elee” for short
— you guess why.
T^rances Cole’s favorite song these
days is “It’s The Dreamer In Me,”
and her favorite line from the SQng
is please be sympathetic, when I
get poetic.”
Jo Gibson courts ,’em all the way
from North Wilkesboro to White-
ville, and Wednesday night it was
Ken from Burlington.
Lee’s having a eoupla dates with
a Mr. Smart this week-end. Is he
eute, GinI
The two proverbial birds were
killed with the one proverbial stone
last week-end by the (not prover
bial) Marianna, meaning that she
saw both Seavy and Dickie.
What’s this we hear about Elea
nor Sartin and Agnea Lee gettiag
mixed np on their dates Saturday
night t But then, all those Oak
Eidge boys are cute, so what’s the
difference.
Could the reason that Kathryn
Troxler was so excited about go
ing home last week-end have been
because “Petie” was going to be
there toot
Tillie went to vespers last Sunday
evening. From the tune that she
was whistling, and the embarassed
look 0*1 li®'’ when she appeared
before the “fellow vesperers,” one
would never have known she was in
her right pew.
Does Sam Orr tell all of the girls
the same thing, and is he always,
generous enough to allow his dates
to darn his sockst These are the
questions Mary Turner wants to put
before the house.
Edith Binder’s theme song from
now on will be “Robert, Robert,
won’t you name the Day.”
What was the excitement when
Edith B. walked up on third. Did
you happen to look at the third fin
ger on her left handt Wish every
body could radiate like that.
Seems that Peggy and Joe are
having smooth sailing these days.
We all wish them luck.
Dot and Margaret have struck a
snare. Bets are being placed as to
which one is going to give in first.
What is all the V. P. I. trouble.
Girls, don’t you know you can only
hold one man at a time.
Helene seems to have done pretty
well. She got roses for the dance
and specials since then.
after JUNE 6 — ?
After graduation — what then!
Well after eonnneiicemeiit exercises
Sara’ Stevens is going home to eat
and sleep for a few weeks before
she starts making money — “Be
cause,” she says, “I’ll probably,
next fall be teaching some brats the
difference between a noun and a
verb” . . • And Cramer Percival is
going to teach, too. In the mean
time, she will be sunning herself at
Carolina Beach ... Jean Knox just
can’t decide on whether she had
rather take a business course or
continue with So&'ology . . . and Cor
nelia Wolfe doesn’t know yet wheth
er she will be teaching school or
taking art, next winter . . . Frances
Alexander is going to play at
Wrightsville Beach this summer and
is going to Euroi>e next winter . •
Jo Gibson is going to Europe this
summer, and next winter she will
buckle down to a business course
. Marianna Redding just doesn’t
have any plans . . . But Margaret
Briggs is .burning with ambition.
She is going into advertising, but
first, she is going to stay down at
Beaufort this summer and work up a
temperament. She says, “next fall
I’ll go out and face this cruel busi
ness world. I’ll get my start
around here, and then, I’ll go to the
big city — unless, of course, I get
side-tracked.” ... And then, there
are these school “marmsi” — I^ois
Morgan, Becky Brame, Peggy Braw-
ley, and Helen Smith. Helen has
already signed her contract to teach
in her own home town! . . . But you
can bet your last penny that Pau
line Daniel isn't going to teach
school. She hasn’t any definite
plans, but she thinks that she may
be working as a dietician next fall
. . Dot Burnette really hasn’t
thought about the future yet. She
wiU start off by teaching, but says
there is no telling how she will end
up . . . More school marms: Mar
tha O’Keeffe, who plans to teach
> two years in Virginia. If by
'■' jen she still doesn’t have a pros
pect, she is going to work on her
master’s degree in history. Martha
will probably make history, but not
the scholastic king! . . . Prances
Cole also is going to “settle down
to a placid life as an old maid
school teacher” . . . We’re not so
sure that life for her will be as pla
cid as all that! . . . Millie Troxler
is going to teach for five years —
and after that she hopes to get mar
ried. Maybe she’s saying five just to
be modest . . . Lelia Williams is
going to be different. No school
teaching for her. She will keep
house and play mother to her little
sister while she is taking a business
course and looking for a job . . .
Virginia Lee is going abroad this
summer, and then to the University
of Pennsylvania to get her master’s
degree in biology or else go in train
ing for laboratory work. Lee said
she was definitely to be in Phila
delphia . . . Janie McLean is going
to take a rest cure and “hope that
my dream comes true.” No need to
ask what her dream is. She looked
very sheepish when questioned.
Which brings up the subject of Vir
ginia Carter. Vir^nia is a little
bolder. She is going to play this
summer and get married in January
. . . Mary McColl is going to take a
business course in Columbia, S. C.,
and also play . . . Mary Woodruff re
fuses to tell. First she says she
doesn’t know. Then she says she
never tells anyone her plans. But
she adds, “I may tell the day I
graduate.” She did give this hint
though. She is going to do just the
things she has wanted to do and
hasn’t been able to do. “And are
they glorious.” . . . Meredith Hol-
derby has the right idea. She is
going to “catch on to the tails Qf
my fleeting youth and have a good
time!” . • . Virginia Sisk says
“Secret, can’t tell!” well, well, . . .
M. M. Johnson says “Time will
tell.” . . . After Europe, Edith Rose
doesn’t know what she will do. Who
could! . . . Laurai Emily Pitts is go
ing to school in New York, the Big
City. Then — t . . . Laura Bland is
planning a summer of “mountains,
horseback riding, and travel.” Aft
er that, probably a B.M. here at
Salem next year . . . LqIs Berkey
is another who won’t tell . . . Mar-
DAY STUDENT DOINGSj
We hear Lizzie’s theme song this
past week-end was “If I had the
Wings 0^ an Angel.” Tish, tish,
Lizzie.
Blevins certainly is dividing her
time between Carolina and Duke.
More power to ya. Babe.
Lib Lambeth seems to be an au
thority on young men who come to
work in Wiston. Ask her about her
date the other night.
Did two of our Winston-Salem
S. A. E.’s stay away from Junior-
Seniors at Carloina this past week
end just to play bridge Saturday
night! How about it, Betty and
Dot?
Wonder how Julia and Joe got on
last week-end. We’re hoping for
the best.
Martha wrote a nice, long letter
to Rob the other day. West Point
seems to get them.
Dot is already setting the exact
hour when she will leave for Citadel
next spring — Here’s hoping she
gets there!
Catherine Harrell and Charlie had
such a good time at the picnic that
they didn’t show up at the dance
Friday night.
Nancy seems to be doing right
well with Bill (from Salisbury). He
spent Saturday night in Winston
so he could see her. Also we hear
he wanted her to go back with him
to meet his mother.
Two to be listed as getting their
male back: Mary Ann Paschal and
Sue Forrest! Nice work we call it!
Ask Mary Davenport the last name
of Charlie from Oak Eidge.
Where did Margaret Holbrook get
those dark circles under her eyes!
It couldn’t have been at Carolina,
could it!
Coons said Carolina was swell
while it lasted.
Mary — exactly how did you treat
Mike at Carolina!
Betsy was all smiles last week
end. Hilary was at home!
Those High Point boys must be
entertaining. Ask Virginia Taylor
and the Lanning sisters how much
fun they had on their trip to the
mountains Sunday.
graduate work!!” Is graduate work
all you expect at Oarolina, Martha!
. . Willena Couch and Naomi Cates
are two more who are going to

Old Fort next year. Nice work.
Weasel . . . Anna Wray Fogle and
Josephine Gribbin “don’t know”
. . . Ruth Dickieson and Louise Gru-
nert wUl join the teachers . . . and
Virginia Griffin will act as councillor
at Camp Betfy Hastings during the
summer, and “if the fates are
kind,” teach next winter. . . . Flor

tractions. She will “help dad pull
teeth this summer, and may be in
line for a teacher’s check next Oc
tober.” . . . Mary Louise McClung
is going out into the Big, Hard
Business world. First, though, she is
going to take a business course . . .
Ernestine Martin sums up the situa
tion in two words: “get married.”
. . . Jane Nading will teach . . . Ann
Nisbit is headed for Curtis Insti
tute . . . Summer school and travel
in the IT. S. are what Elizabeth

Powder puff muslin, new acetate
rayons, dotted swiss, new pique
weaves, marquisette, swagger broad
cloth, a-nd that old stand-by—linen
were only a few of the interesting
fabrics which figured in the fash
ion show given by the clothing
classes of the Home Economies De
partment Friday afternoon.
The showing took place on the
lawn in front of the Lizora Hanes
Home Management House, where a
large semicircle of seats was ar
ranged. As the model walked out
of the house and around the circle
Doris Taylor of the music school
played selections on the harp and
Mary Thomas explained the type of
costumes represented. Eighty-three
garments including sjwrts frocks,
informal morning dresses, coat suits,
formal and informal evening dress

they would naturally be worn
through the day.

PARAGRAPHICS
Early Morning Drama In Three Parts:
Nan's alarm clo-ck woke her up at five o’clock. She woke
Frances up and Frances in turn woke Edith. The three yawned
and looked at each other. Nan went back to bed; Frances rolled
over and pulled the covers up and Edith passed quietly into her
earlier state of oblivion.
Dramatic Moment:
Time: 7:30 P. M. Tuesday.
Place: Miss Lawrence’s Office.
Characters: Miss Lawrence, a Junior.
Junior: Miss Lawrence, is it all right if I go to the show
with Joe X.
Miss Lawrence: Yes, have you time?
Junior: I’ll make time, Miss Lawrence, I’ll make time.
Tillie Hines really might develop her voice under Mr. Bair
if she is going to sing in public places again as she did last
Sunday night. That song was what our Dean might not call a
“Sunday song,” either.
Not a single violent disagreement occurred when the
rising Seniors drew for suites in Louisa Bitting Building Mon
day night. Nan Totten was so excited her hands were tremb
ling when she drew and Peggy Rogers practically brought the
roof down with her jumping and clapping when she drew a
good room. Other than that the meeting was dignified and
orderly — you know, just like those rising Seniors always are.
Jo Gibson will be glad to tell you about the high school
boy who rode back to Winston-Salem from Chapel Hill in the
car with her. He told her all about his philosophy of life and
his theories about the world to come. Jo must not have any
theories, because she was strangely silent and, also, was half-
asleep.
It would be a good idea to leave out all yonr test paperc
marked with good grades so that Miss Turlington will be im
pressed when she grabs up one on which to write “Horrible
room. Have ready for inspection at 2:00.” So far, the only
papers she has found in certain rooms are those aftermaths of
nightmare-ish quizzes* which one thinks are hidden away and
which one wants desperately to forget.
A novel a day for a whole week! Why have so many of
ouit classmates gone in for such a deluge of reading T And how
