March, 1^49
MARCH —
And Its Surprises
“Roommate,” came the sleepy
call, “wake me up early tomorrow
morning so that we can get
started early for sun bathing.”
In room x-13 things were really
humming. All of the materials in
readiness for sunbathing were
neatly arranged on a chair.
The weather man had dampened
their spirits a little by predicting
cold, windy weather for Monday,
but did that stop them? Oh, no!
They laughed it off with “March
is a most changeable month, so
why worry or change our plans?”
They went to sleep almost im
mediately to dream of the won
derful tan which would be theirs
very soon.
In the middle of the night, the
wind began to howl and whistle
around the corners of the Inn.
The windows banged to and fro,
but everyone was sleeping so
soundly the noise didn’t wake
her.
Let’s look in on the girls before
they wake up. The sun is stream
ing through the windows and the
day has dawned without a dark
cloud in the sky. The wind is
still; only a slight breeze is blow
ing. It looks as if the weather
man has slipped up!
“Joyce, wake up, wake up,”
called Lou. “The weatherman was
wrong, just as I knew he would
be,” she added, with an I-told-you-
so air. “Let’s get ready to start.”
They set out to spend the day
with all their paraphernalia for
sunbathing. Before they left they
shouted, “Goodbye, girls, we’ll

Do you think that it’s only in
Tennessee that “they all go native
on a Saturday night?” If you do,
merely open your ears (if you can
stand the bedlam) to the shrieks,
squalls, and screams echoing
through your dorm on this off-
night. Woe betide any conscient
ious student attempting an activi
ty so prosaic as study. To carry
on such an activity at such a time
would require the patience of Job
to endure the sounds emitted by
the celebrants, the tact of Emily
Post to dispose of would-be visit
ors, and the strength of Samson
to forcibly eject the more stubborn
ones.

This is the third in a series of
character sketches of Senior High
School girls. These clues are so
clear that you shouldn’t have
much trouble identifying the
girls.
1. She’s an all-round girl, fond
of athletics and good at them. Her
special interest right now is
Schultzy,” and who can blame
her? Her favorite state is the
“Bluegrass” state. Need any
more clues?
2. This is a tall, attractive girl
with a ready smile who is sec
retary of her class. She is very
’oily and well-liked by everyone.
Her favorite expression is “flunk.
Hunk.” If you need any more
’ints just ask Carl.
3. She proves the told adage
that “Good things come in small
packages.” A real Southern “gal,”
s e hails from our southernmost
s ate. Also “Brain*' of the senior
class. Can you guess now?
4. Shes our only day student
and a mighty nice one too. She’s
a little on the quiet side but has
a c arming and gracious manner.
l5he looks just like a flaxen-haired
princess right out of a fairy tale.
