Tor this is everybody’s war, and the way we go about doing our part may mean the difference between victory and defeat. TO HELP OUE GOVEEHMEHT We all want to do our part to win this war. But before any of us can be of real assistance to our country, we must know what is needed of us and how to go about fulfilling those needs. For if we do our war work just when the spirit moves us, or when some fad catches our fancy, the results will not be satisfactory. Our part of the war effort, as do production lines and the armed forces, requires investigation, thought, and organization, too. In stead of listening to hearsay, we must get our information from more reliable sources: from articles of authoritative origin, from statements given out by the Government, and from the President himself. Then we can be sure that what we do will bo of real use to our country. From such reliable information, we can each pick out that task which is best suited to us as individuals. The artistic minded can do war posters; others, more domestic, can knit and sew. All of us can bo more careful of our usage of scarce materials; all of us can save metals and other goods needed by the Government; and all of us can buy war stamps and bonds. In addition to finding out what is needed of us and picking out those things which we as individuals can do best, we must find out how the Government wants these things done. For there are special Government regulations and directions for the posters we paint, the sweaters we knit, and the metals wo save. Once we have decided what we are going to do and how our Government wants us to do it, we must organize into groups. This will take quite a bit of time and effort at first, but when everything is organized, we may find things running smoothly, ami with the desired results. For just as in the large defense factories of today, we must spend a great deal of time, energy, and hard work on organization. We should get into the habit of looking out for ideas when we are BELLES MARY BROOKS POPKINS Home—Leesburg, Virginia. Age—18. Hair and eyes—“Kind of a peculiar gray, sorta green (finally compro mised on gray-green) and brown, definitely. Ambition—To use the direct ap proach ! Pet hate—the pronunciation of “on” as “own.” Spends spare time—working on The Belles. Always heard—from one end of the campus to the other. Always seen—“I’m just not spectac ular, and I’m never seen.” Hobby—knitting for Bobby. Favorite expression—Crominy (we can’t even guess what it means). Favorite article of clothing—worn- out moccasins. ' Favorite perfume—Yardley’s Lotus. Favorite food—anything fattening. Is wild about—Bobby. Is looking for—that month at Christ mas. Odd likes—her braces. Worst fault—not gaining weight. Here we have a constantly busy worker—busy all week, every week. A favorite on the campus, Brooksie owes her success to a wonderful dis position, soft Virginia voice, and true loyalty to her Belles. Brooksie inspires members of her various or ganizations, the Publications, E. A. P. Literary Society, and the Circle. She carries a big load, that bi monthly edition of the paper, and still claims that “only a miracle gets The Belles published.” Yes, Brook- sie’s a miracle worker. LILLIAN JENKINS Home—Goldsboro, K. C. Age—18. Hair and eyes—^green and yellow (“lovely combination”). Ambition—Marriage ? Oh, of course! Pet hate—empty mail boxes. Spends spare time—talking to Mr. Moore. Always heard—talking to Mr. Moore. Always seen—talking to Mr. Moore. Hobby—falling in love. Favorite expression—“I kinda like that.” Favorite article of clothing—Girl Scout playsuit. Favorite, perfume—Tweed. Favorite food—everything. Is wild about—talking to Mr. Moore. Is looking for—the day the Stage Coach comes out. Odd likes—everything . . . definitely odd. Worst fault—eating. Pictures, pictures, and more pic tures ! Lillian, able editor of the Slage Coach, has already started do ing work, which takes all year long. Besides this, she edited the Iland- hooh—fine job—and holds the Presi dency of the French Club. So, we see in Miss Jenkins a very capable young lady handling several large jobs and doing them splendidly. Snoohs! SZIGETI TO PERFORM BETTY PENDER Home—Norfolk, Virginia. Age—19. Hair and eyes—definitely black and brown. Ambition—to enter Sweet Briar. Pet hate—listening to others gargle. Spends spare time—dyeing gray hairs with black shoe polish. Always heard—“Darlin’ . . .” Always seen—at Mr. Moore’s table. Hobby—Ensigns. Favorite expression—You devil! Favorite article of clothing—night shirts. Favorite perfume—Nuit de Noel. Favorite food—^yeast cakes. Is wild about—everybody. Is looking for—six feet four. Odd likes—Bugs Bunny. Worst fault—letting her bangs grow too long. Another soft, Virginia voice says, “Hey, doll baby,” and there’s beau tiful little Betty. Always a little serious, Betty’s the shining light of Sigma Lambda. Don’t let her fool you, though, for the next minute she’ll ruffle her bangs and do a per fect imitation of Bugs Bunny’s, “What’s cookin’, doc?” Her ability not to only write, but also to edit will come forth with her first issue of the Bulletin. Wait ’n’ see . . . (From P. 1) noted for his fastidious and intellec tual conceptions of great music. At an invitation from Leopold Stokow.ski, then the conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orches tra, Mr. Szigeti visited this country ami appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. At first he was not received with much enthu siasm, for he had neither the wealth of tone nor the charm that American audiences were accustomed to. How- per, a few recognized him as an individual who, as Paul Stefan pointed out, “represented with equal completeness the classic greatness and the modern spirit of violin playing.” Last year Szigeti was heard regu larly for the first time on the air. He performed in a series of Sunday afternoon concerts with an orchestra under the direction of Alfred Wal lenstein. THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Eoom-changing day and more con fusion ! What a day to look fo'' clever interior decorators. Never theless— Caroline Long and Louise Goffer must have a mania for strawberries; if their room proves anything. Lus cious red berries blossom from their curtains and bedspreads, and 8p' pliques of the same strawberries decorate white oilcloth covering their desk and a small table. Over on second floor East Wing the girls have matching Bates bed spreads and draperies. In one room a smooth hlue and white striped sej catches the eye, while across the baU a green flowered, one does the trick- On the same hall “Pinkie” Butler has her “men’s” pictures (four of them) lined around the roorq underneath the moulding in natural frames trimmed in red. Of course everyone in Holt bn® seen the chair Joan Stell covered- The material is percale with bunches of red cherries on a white back ground. Wonder whose petticoat she got the white eyelet ruffle froui- She added a finishing touch by ma^' ing a matching bow for a wLit® lampshade.. It’s worth the time 1® drop by and see.
