Cadet Nurse Corps, and will speak in their behalf to inform college girls throughout the country of the wartime and postwar opportunities in nursing. CADET NURSE CORPS Mrs. McCkmnell believes that the field of nursing can offer valuable opportunities after the war, and that at the present it is a way in which the women of this country can best serve the war effort. She will talk mainly about the Cadet Nurse Corps which gives an expense-free educa tion in nursing schools, including tuition, maintenance, distinctive (See P. 4, Col. 2) Hockey Season Begins At Saint Mary’s Fall Schedule Calls for Class and Sigma-Mu Tournaments During Afternoons Hockey season is here with loads of fun for everyone.

Autumn Reflections CUSSES COMPLETE ELECTIONS Katherine Royall from Goldsboro was elected vice-president of the junior class recently. “Poncie” Itawson of Cramerton is secretary, and ^lary Billings from Morganton IS treasurer of the junior class. Frances "Williams, who was here last year and is from Lynchburg, is vice-president of ' the sophomore. class, and Caroline McGuirk of !Mor- ganton is secretary-treasurer. -V child may ask, “What is au tumn ?” and how might we answer ? Fall is the parade day for nature’s many colors — rich, extravagant blazes of color. Our world is a torch of reds,, yellows, greens, browns. Color in mass, lumped, pushed, dis played in close groups of trees. Color etched against autumn blue skies, color alone in a small yellow tree. Year after year this pattern of color is repeated. Strange, but every autumn season is different. Our appreciation rises with our age. "Back Home For Keeps” BIRTHDAYS November— 18— Mary Newsome Pierce Hannahlyn Riddle 19— Stuart Verdery 21— Charlotte Hoffman Margaret Trotter 22— Eleanor Thomas 23— Jean Gatlin 28— Mary Jo Ryan 29— Nina Mae DeBerry 30— Mary Louise Harris December— 1—Jeannette Parker -V new era of art ( ?) has been introduced. Grant Wood and other American artists have moved far into the corner of the Saint Mary’s rooms in order to make way for .Jon 'Whitcomb and Michael—the origi- iiators of Community Silver’s “Back Home for Keep.s” series. That title is very significant to many. The first of the pictures, better known as the “Back Home for Keepses” around Saint Mary’s, ap- ])eared about a year aao; it is of a pretty brunette in the arms of a bloiul Army Air Corps sergeant. Then there was a Marine in his dress blues coming home to his titian-haired wife (worst luck) on a chicken farm. After these, the Navy was represented with two’oflicers and Torchlight Procession Marks First Circle Initiation of the Year Last Week Sarah Bain, -Vnn Cutts and Mar garet Rodwell were taj)ped by the Order of tlie Circle in an impressive torchlight procession on Wednesday night, November 8. Sarah, a Soph omore from Capron, Va., has served on'the Honor Council and the Hall Council, and this year she is presi dent of her class. Ann is president of the Day Students and of the E. A. P. Literary Society. Mar garet lias served on the HaU Council and is now editor of the Bulletin. UURROSE Tlie purpose of the Clircle is to [iromote a sjiirit of co-operation be tween the students and the faculty and to assist new students in finding their jilace in scliool life. ()ualifica- tions, for membershij) in the Circle are based on scholarship, citizenship, fidlowship, and service. Old members from last year are: -Vnn Edmunds, president, Mary Arden Tucker, secretary, and Kate Broadfoot. Margaret Rodwell was elected treasurer. Leave your books one afternoon. ITalk out on our campus. Bright ness of sun and color. Here is fall beauty. Ovenvhelming. Brilliance and strength in color is splashed and looming from every shrub and tree. God-sent is this time of autumn. A glory, a security is here for the art ist, the layman, and the simple soul. And our reply to a chihl’s ques tion ? Autumn is a time in which Nature puts on her most colorful bonnet, and visibly winks at every one. CALENDAR OF EVENTS November— 17-18—“Watch on tlu> Rhine” at Raleigh Little Theater. 17-18—North (’arolina Student Legislature. 18—Girl-Break Dance. 23—Thanksgiving Day. Legislature. 27—Mrs. Jane F. McConnell on Cadet Nurse Cor])s.' two sailort.. Among the most recent pictures are two more of “G. I.’s,” one a sergeant and the other’.s rank is conveniently hidden by chrysan themums. Tlie very latest of the series is an Army Pfc.; the startling thing about this one is that the girl’s hands do not show, and therefore there is no wedding ring staring Saint IMary’s girls in the faces. The chief objection to the series is that all of these dream men are unfortu nately in the clutches of a girl osten tatiously flashing a wedding ring. The favorites of these “Back Home for" Keepses” are—^that is right—the “andiron picture” and the “Marine in his greens.” Is there need to describe these ? They are on every wall in school. LETTER FROM MRS; BIRD Mrs. E. R. Simpson received last week a letter from IVIrs. Ruth Scott Bird, former teacher at Saint Mary’s, who is now in Arkansas, which said in part : “Actually, I am leading as busy a life as if I were teaching! Herbert [Sgt. Bird also taught music at Saint Mary’s.—Kd.'\ and I between us have had nine playing engage ments within the last'three weeks, one of them involving solos from me, the others all accompaniments for Herbert, organ as well as piano. JTe give a recital at the Station Hos pital tomorrow night. Herbert has been a tremendous sensation—his re cital at the Service Club for a pack ed audieime of “G. T.’s” was the most thrillingly gratifying thing we liave ever known.”
