IN NEW BERN TODAY
"What will niy roommate be
like?” That’s the big question that
many of our New Bern High school
graduates, and other High school
graduates in Craven county, are
ctiicfly concerned with as they ore-
tv re to enter tile coliege of their
cfioice.
And elsewhere, prospective
f'e.shmcn who have been assigned
rooms with our local teen agers are
vvondering the same thing.
Fortunately, in the great majori
ty of cases the results range from
■satisfactory to delightful. The
average boy or girl who is lucky
enough to go to college is serious
about getting an education, so you
and your roommate are apt to
have that much in common.
And because of this seriousness
of purpose it is a foregone con
clusion that the two of you will try
to work out an arrangement for

studying that will be mutually ad
vantageous. Tile adjustment may
take time, but unless one or both
of you happen to be overly selfish
it is a prolilem that can be solved
without too much difficulty.
Consideration Is ot utmost im
portance. Neither roommate has
the right to distract the other dur
ing study sessions, and it is wise
if pos.sible for them to arrange
identical hours for study. Other
wise. one of them may be studying
late at night or eariy in the
morning, while the other room
mate is trying to sleep.
Of course, there are other things
besides studying that will require
understanding. Every’ freshman
hopes that his or her roommate
will have something in common
with them socially. If they like the
same type of music, the same
sports and other things, the adjust
ment should be easier.
Even if their interests differ,
there is no reason why they can’t
be congenial. In fact, one of the
helpful things about college is an
opportunity to get out of the rut
that oim own narrow interests may
have us in.

pocketbooks. She even takes them
to bed with her in the manner that
other children cling to their fav
orite toys.
She refuses to part with any of
the pocketbooks in her collection.
Inasmuch as some of them are in
a sad state of repair, this is rather
disconcerting to other members of
the household.
For pets, she has two tomcats
named Tom and Jerry. “We got
them as kittens when the children
had chickenpox,” Milton and Peg
gy recall. “Now the kittens have

Incidentally, Tom and Jerry work
as a team when it comes to fight
ing other cats in the neighborhood.
However, they don’t have easy sail

most nearby families have arrang
ed to procure their pet cats in pairs
too.
In addition to Jeannine, the Lang
stons have two more children, Mil-
ton III, 7, and Cheryl Randall, 5.
Cheryl was born on Milton’s second
birthday, which is another inter
esting angle on the Langston story.
Jeannine isn’t one to lose her
temper, when she doesn’t get her
way. Falling back on the determi
nation that saved her life, she
bides her time and wears down
the opposition that blocks her path.
“She never forgets anything,”
Peggy admits ruefully. “It may
take weeks to do it, but eventually
she achieves her objective.”
All things considered, Jeannine
is no better nor worse behaved
than other children her age. She
is a television fan, and it is worthy
of note that she appreciates the
graceful movement of outstanding
dancers and the excellence of oper-
ratic selections that are sung well.
She has a definite flair for mu
sic, and “caiTies a tune” very nice
ly. At the moment, her chief am
bition is to be a majorette. To say
she is looking forward to starting
to school is putting it mildly. And
of course, she’ll show up on the
campus befoi’e anyone else does on
that hectic first day.
Considering her past history, you
would hardly expect her to be any
thing but decidedly premature in
her quest for an education. There’ll

one. We wish him well, as he
rambles through his storehouse of

the smiles, the shouts and the
