“DO NOT PUT
OFF UNTIL —
“Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today”
is an old adage, but it stUl holds good, especially when there
is less than a week before examinations begin.
Spending each moment wisely is difficult, but at least a
portion of each day spent reviewing will prevent that last-
minute cramming.
In the end, cramming does not pay in dividends all that
it cost in lost sleep, unbalanced meals, and headaches, indiges
tion, and bad dispositions resulting from these. Even before
the exam begins, with such a mental and physical condition
prevailing, it is doubtful that the grade will be passing.
No matter how much more interesting “bull sessions”
or movies might be, it would be wiser to “Begin Studying
Now!” ’
_M. L. R.
AMAZING
BUT TRUE
It is too late to wish you a Happy New Year, and it isi
too early to wish you a Merry Christmas; so I guess I’ll have
to wish you a Happy BxamWeek. No, really I mean it. Your
Exam Week can be very happy if you start studying now. See,
if you study now, you can go to the show on the afternoon
before your hardest exam and then the night before the
Terror, you can glance over your notes, crawl in bed and catch
a good long sleep instead of the usual forty winks. Really,
your Exam Week can be happy if you want it to be. So, ■—
here’s wishing you the happiest and merriest Exam Week
ever.

DES DATES IMPOETANTES
POUR U!S FBANgAIS
H y a beaucoup de dates impor-
tantes pour les Fran^ais pendant le
mois de janvier. Ija premifire est
une fdte tr6s importante — le jour
de I’an. Siur ce jour, tout le monde
s’occupe a faire des visites ^ ses
amis, et a leur apporter quelque petit
souvenir. Cela vaut bien la peine de
commencer une nouvelle annee en
pensant 6 ses amis et en renouvel-
ant toutes les vieilles amities. Quel
malheur, si on commence 1’ ann^e en
oubliant de donner un bon petit
pourboire & la bonee, au concierge,
au facteur!
Le sept janvier, un grand digni-
taire de I’ Eglise Fenelon-naquit
a Sarlat de famille trfis noble. II
Studia la th^ologie i Paris avec Bos-
suet un autre digaitaire de I’Eglise.
En 1689, Ffinelon fut nommfi pr6cep-
teur du Due de Burgogne, le petit-
fils de Louis XIV. II inculqua au
Due des idees de rgforme du royaune
qui ne plaisaient point au souv’erain.
En reconnai.ssance de ses services de
precepteur, il fut nomme Archeveque
de Cambrai, par le roi. II mourut
dans son archevechg en 1715, lais-
sant le souvenir de beaucoup de
charite dans le territiore de sa juri-
diction.
Madame de Sevigne, la lumidre
brillante dans le domaine de la
littSrature epistolaire, naquit i
Paris, le cinq fevricr, 1627. Elle fut
orpheline dds sept ans. I/abbe de
Coulanges prit soin de son Education,
et fit d’elle une femme trSs cultiv6e
a 18 ans, elle epousa le Marquis de
Sevigng qui mourut dans un duel
sept ans apr^s le mariage. Elle eut
un fils et une fille. Cette fille lui
etait trSs ch^re. Peu de temps aprfes
elle la maria au Oomte de Grignan,
le comte fut envoy^ comme lieuten
ant gSndral en Provence. Done, Mad
ame de Sevigne se consola quelque
peu en lui ecrivant un grand nom-
bre des lettres qui'l’ont rendue c616-
bre. Elle mourut le quatorze jan

d’une visite k sa fille en Provence.

LIBRARY NEWS
The Library has received the fol
lowing books as Christmas presents
to the Browsing Eoom; “The Small
er Houses and Gardens of Ver
sailles From 1680 to 1815” by Leigh
I'rench, Jr., and Harold Donaldson
Eberlein. This book is chiefly a
book of illustrations showing the
dwellings of the i>ersonages attached
to the French Court in the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. The
book was given by Mr. Eugene Nox-
on of Winston-Salem,
“The Eeluctant Dragon,” by Ken
neth Grahame and especially illus
trated by Ernest Shepard, who has
done full justice to the eternally
youthful magic of the author. Here
is the tale of The Boy whose reading
in natural history and fairy tales,
“in a sandwichy sort of way,” quite
prepared him for the discovery of
a dragon up on the Downs, and their
subsequent firm griendship. W'hen
St. George arrived to carry on a
battle with the beast, The Boy was
able to arrange a match that was
quite satisfactory to all concerned.
The book was given by Elizabeth
Jerome, formerly assistant librarian
at Salem, now- of New York City.
Miss McAnally would like to call
attention to the display of “Notable
Books of 1939” in our library.

Glenn Miller Now 3 Times

Miller and Andrews Sisters
At Head of Class For
1940 Popularity
GLENN MILLER, New Dance King,
now broadcasting over Coast-to-
C^ast C.B.S. Network, three times
weekly, for Chesterfield. '
Answering an avalanche of re-
quest.s from dance fans, Chesterfield
Wgarettes will sponsor Glenn Mil
ler’s orchestra and the Andrews Sis
ters three times weekly instead of
once a week as originally announced.
The new program, introduced in a
half-hour broadcast, December 27th,
will be heard thereafter each Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday eve
ning, beginning January 2nd at 10
P. M., E. S. T.
Glenn Miller’s is America’s fav
orite dance band today, leading all
others in record sales and making
box office history in personal ap
pearances. The Andrews Sisters are
the most popular singing trio that
ever came down the pike, both on
records and on the variety stage.
Chesterfield has definitely scored a
coup in bringing these stars togeth
er for the radio audience, in their
first regular sponsored broadcasts.
Miller Sets New Style
Meet the new King! Glenn Miller
is 29 years old. For years, he ar
ranged and played for such musici
ans as Tommy Dorsey, Benny Good
man and Eay Noble, forming his
own band only when the time was
when he could assemble musi
cians suitable to the now dance
style which brought him fame. Time
Magazine recently sairf, “The Ches
terfield Hour conferred Swing’s Pu
litzer Prize on Miller by signing him
to take Paul Whiteman’s place.”
Well, all right — now meet those
Andrews Sisters — from Minneap
olis. They^ve .been singing ever
since they can remember — but it
