C. Collegiate Press Association TODAY IS TOMOREOW In the waring world of today where life is cheap and death is commonplace, we students are in clined to belittle the gravity of our positions and to minimize the im- ])ortance of education. We antici pate an end of hostilities hut seldom look beyond that ])oint. All of us would like to be doing something more vital and more glorious to hasten eventual victory. Yet few of us realize that in this democracy we are the leaders of tomorrow, that every subject we study is giving us a better foundation for the future enactment of this role. It will be our duty to maintain the j)eace which the present leaders of the country^ will establish. We must build a world of tomorrow, and we arc here to learn how to live in accord witli our fellow-men, how to use the knowledge we acquire to the very best of our ability. A heavier responsibility has been placed upon each of us liecause of the relative reduction in the size of our group. Thus at present our job may not be glorious, but it is impor tant. We must therefore expend a maximum amount of effort in an attempt to complete it satisfactorily. Let us take every possible advantage of the education afforded us and in this way fulfill our responsibilities as the youth of America. A MERE QUARTER’S WORTH We have all been asked to give— we have been asked so many times that we sometimes feel like turning our backs until we remember that a war is on. Sometimes we give be cause we have been deeply touched and feel that we really should buy that one more stamp, or a bond, with the money we were going to spend on that hat we didn’t need. Maybe we buy because we are j)atriotic. Whatever the reason, we should buy . . . and continue to buy until our world has been made our own again. In our coin purse there is a quar ter. That quarter we were going to spend at the Little Store to get a Shake-a-Plenty, a package of nabs and some peanuts, or maybe get a sandwich. But sj)ending this quar ter on a war stamp instead will add to the big total we are i)iling up against (Jerniaiiy and Japan. What could a measly quarter buy? A quarter will buy exactly four bullets. Think of this picture: The marine was separated from his company, wounded and lost. He had a gun, but was too weak to see whether his last bullet was gone. He knew he was somewhere near the ocean. He was tired; after a short, quick attack on the Jap camp, he with two of his buddies had run hack towards the beach. Headed off by a coujile of Jap snipers, he was hit in the shoulder, and his two comrades were killed. lie went on; the sound of the tide reached him much more clearly now. Soon the jungle thinned and he found him self on the beach. Sounds of a skirmish' came from up the beach. Cautiously he approached. In front of him behind a pile of sand he saw one dirty little Jap with a machine gun preparing to cut down a group of marines who were hack from their job and climbing onto the barge. Here was his chance to save the whole company. Only, his gun didn’t fire, only snapped. Ho more bullets. The Jap swung around, fired, and then greedily turned to finish off the marines below not yet aware of his position. Was that the marine we told good-bye? Bullets are important. Let’s re member our soldiers, sailors or ma rines ; and then remember our selves. Let’s deny ourselves. PATRICIA EXUM WEAVER BELLES ELLEN FRENCH JIcCANN Home—Eranklin, Va. Age—18.

Is wild about—the Country Club on a moonlight night. “Frenchie” has already become a hy-word with the members of the Publications Staff as she efficiently collects, rewrites, and sorts copy for The Belles. As soon as the first edition was presented to the student body, everyone became aware of the new editor’s capabilities. Her sin cerity and generosity also account for her large number of friends among both the old and new stu dents. Besides being editor of The Belles, “Frenchie” is also vice-presi dent of the Senior Class, and a mem ber of the Sigma Lambda Literary Society, Altar Guild, and the Politi cal Science Club.

Her dignity and friendliness escape few who come in contact with her, and her intelligence impresses both faculty and students. Famous for knowing somebody in practically every corner of the globe, “Pinky” is definitely an outstanding member of the Senior Class.

Since she excels in almost everything from literary creations to imitations, one never know's just what is going to result from her never ceasing thoughts. Her vivac ity and sense of humor are some of her admirable qualities. Taking time off from her job, Patty takes part in the activities of the Sigma Lambdas, the Altar Guild, the Po litical Science Club, the Grand daughters’ Club, the Doctors’ Daugh ters’ Club, the Dramatic Club, and is also a member of the Circle. “Whose fraternity pin or pins are you wearing?” This seems to be quite a general question around the campus, for although some girb have always been pinned, this year they seem to be super-pinned.
