Activitus Leaps, Meets And Eats
^^And to take an all-round active
part in campus activities one should
join in such extra-curricular activi
ties as these various cluhs; dramatic
groups . . Activitus listened raptly
(she was a freshman and all fresh
men listen raptly). Inspired with
hope and a promise of better things
to come, she signed up (little did
she know) for the organizations in
which she was interested.
Two weeks later, Activitus sat at
the first meeting of the Basic-Fun-
damentals-of-Bridge-Club. It must
be admitted; she was rather proud
and happy, having just been elected
assistant-vice-recorder-to-the-s e c r e-
tary, she felt that her career had
had a beginning. In the midst of
her reverie, she realized that the
A r t-of-Careful-Concealment-of-Paja-
mas-Club would be meeting in five
minutes. As chief-issuer-of-pins-to-
keep-pajama-legs-from-rolling-d own
(on Sundays she issues adhesive
tape), Acti just simply could not
afford to miss the meeting. Silently
(only knocking down four chairs)
Acti ci^ept out.
Upon arriving at Room 1005684,
Acti remembered that the club had*
changed its meeting place, but—to
where? She was frantic . . .Dashing
from room to catacomb, Acti was
finally informed by a bored senior
that today was Tuesday not Wednes
day. Rather relieved, she decided
to study for the ten minutes' left
before the regular weekly meeting
of the How-to-get-the-proper-amount-
of-sleep discussion group which
would meet at 11:15 in the basement
of Heatless dormitory.
Finally at 1:30 a. m., our heroine
staggered to her room on eighth
floor Weak dorm and collapsed into
her unmade bed.
Radiating good will, Acti stumb
led into the dining hall at 8:14 the
next morning. Today she was to
meet with Miss Fisherman to ar
range her schedule according to
needs.
Some time later, said Acti came
out of her conference smiling confi
dently, (what about is beyond me).
Glancing over her weekly plans, she
saw That she was fortunate enough
to be able to get to supper on Mon
day's, Wednesday's and Friday^s.
Acti simply put out of her mind the
thought that she would only have
baths three times a month, feeling
confident that a few showers could
be slipped in after daily hockey
practice.
The moral of our story is:
Nowhere so bisy a child there
was. And yet she seemed bisier
than she was’h

Patsy Leads Parisian Life,
Meets Dutch Boy In Japan
Liz Leland
Yokohama and Baltimore are
my favorite cities^’ says bright-eyed
Patsy Michael, who has lived in too
many cities to count. In answer to
that popular question where are
you from'^ Patsy blithely says Win
ston-Salem, to avoid confusion, of
course.
Entering the freshman class was
no novelty to Patsy, for Salem is
the fourteenth school she has atten
ded! In Yokohama Patsy went to
St. Josephs College, a French school,
where she was editor of the year
book, and a very active member of
the senior class. As all of her clas
ses were in English, Patsy didn't
attempt to learn the Japanese lan
guage. However, she can write her
name in Japanese.
The year Patsy spent in Japan
was full of exciting experiences.
She skiied, ice skated, and went
swimming all in the same week, she
had tea with the emperor’s brother,
lived in a Japanese home, and met
people of every nationality, only to
mention a few of her experiences.
It was in Yokohama that she met
Jerry”, her man, who is Dutch
and in the diplomatic corps. Jerry
is still in Japan but Patsy grimly
maintains that distance makes no
difference!
Patsy’s social life in Japan was
very active. Every Saturday night
she attended a dinner dance held at
the commissary in Yokohama, and
on Sunday nights this same commis
sary held informal banquets. When
she wasn’t in school, she was having
tea with new acquaintances, or visit
ing old acquaintances in different
sections of Japan. Her bulky scrap
book is full of invitations, corsages,
and party snapshots, as memoirs of
a gay and almost Parisian sort of
life.
