When we were very young, our grandfathers used ^to chuck us under chins smeared with our first lipstick and say half- gravely, “Well, I hope ‘this war doesn’t come and kill off all your husbands.” And we laughed and squirmed a little since grandfather knew perfectly well that we thought Bill looked grand in his prep school uniform.

Our collective feminine brains are awhirl with if’s and why’s and I don’t see’s. It’s a vicious cir cle, we find. If he’s had military training, then he will be top-rank and indispensable. If he has not had training, then he ivill have to have it immediately. If he farms, surely the Government ivill realize that he must stay home and raise crops. If he is a senior in college, an interne, a chemical engineer, or a football player, ive can think of a thousand reasons why he just cannot take off a whole year to learn to be a soldier.

Saturday night, October 12, found the Sigma team proudly dis playing their bright red colors at the annual Sigma-Mu Party. Amid cheering and excitement they seemed to hold sAvay OA^er all. Not for long, hoAvever, for with a loud roar and a Avearing of the blue, the Mu’s made their entrance. From that moment on a spirit of rivalry filled the gym. A striking sight indeed Avere the red and blue colors of the tAvo Athletic Associations. CompetitHe relays betAveen the Sigma’s, Mu’s, and Faculty set the pace for the eA^ents to follow. Teams were made up of the folloAving play ers: Sigmas: Libba Thorne, Mar tha Kight, Nancy McKinley, Jane Hurt, Nancy Martin, Betsy Burgess, Margaret SAvindell, Sarah Jane Kitchin, Anna Wood, and Caro Bay- ley. Mu’s: Mary Frances Wilson, Gale Lamb, Jinnette Hood, Mary Huske, Margaret Kitchin, Martha Newell, Mary Emily Claiborne, Betty Yann, and Stranger Collins. Faculty: Mrs. Brown, Miss Johnson, Miss Scott, Miss Goss, M!iss Harvey, Mrs. Broughton, Miss Morrison’ Miss Cate, Miss McNeill, and Miss Tucker. A great many racers for the first time in their lives were grateful for the length of their respective noses as the rnatchbox derby, after close competition, Avas won by the Faculty.

Her striving pupils were none other than the Misses Morrison, Johnson, Goss, Scott, Tucker, McNeill, Mrs. Broughton and Mrs. Brown, Avho were dressed in pastel shades of chiffon. With imaginations alert the elass tripped gracefully down to the eool waters of the sea and stepped daintily into the rushing Avaves. After the dance demonstration, the judges. Miss Harris, Miss Lalor, and Mr. Guess, announced the Sigma’s victors of the CA'^ening. A great deal of enthusiasm mark ed this annual party, and at choir practice Sunday morning Mr. Broughton AA^as relieved to find that a feAv A’oiees still remained after the night before.
