Tst dance of the year decided
I l^*hat it was the best girl-break
the ygj. gjygj^^ here. Those who par-
ra"lcularly enjoyed themselves were:

Ioi’'\.delaide Linehan, Golda Gurley,
? a^letty Lou Byrd, and Patsy Mc-
Gmmon.

» liell what category they fall under

^testheir spare time in the Day Stu-
kefflents’ Room.
Martha Ann Olsen has had
(^jjfivery reason to be happy lately.
dliGer brother has just returned
l^gj.f’rom Europe. Now when all the
ripither brothers get home, it will
jj/eally be a great day.
da}’ ^till on the subject of brothers,
,, j^Vnna Lee Smith has had a sick
jOrother who has been in the hos-
'^Loital at Bainbridge, Maryland.
■g Every one hopes that he is fully
"^pjfeeovered now and is feeling fine
^ once more.
( Life at Saint Mary’s has
ne brought about a change to all day
af.®,j5tudents. They cannot recapture
atb the fun they had in high school,
le * All that is only a memory; but
ite>''eollege is a large reality; so large
]\Pthat it is hard now to take it in.
II ''You suddenly realize you have to
yeSstudy, or else! You realize you
iniPhave responsibilities, and you are
sai' tnore grown-iip than you thought.
5l**^lt seems hard right now, but life
clcAere will be something to remem
ber because it will shape us into
[JoffYhat we will be in later years.

Payne received a
her box one day. Like to trade
boxes with us for a little while 1
“Strook” left us last week-end
for a little jaunt to Duke. Could
the attraction be a certain motor
cycle rider? We hear Conger is
saving that precious week-end for
November 26. Wish we knew
why ?
Nancy Hannah is all out for the
Army these days. We hear that
Ida Constable prefers the Navy.
Let’s settle it peacefully, girls.
Mary Rose likes Sewanee, and
BetsV Evans shows a tendency to
wards Pork Union. Everybody to
her own taste is what we say.
Tommy seems to know a lot
about “These Men” growing up—
especially at Wake Forest. Sandy
has a iittle different kind of
knowledge. We wonder if she has
been training her bird dog lately.
As For Music
Guy Lombardo and his band have
started work on Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer’s new musical, No Leave,
No Love. Though the picture stars
Van Johnson, the story is really
centered around the life of the Lom
bardo family, so Guy and his broth
ers will have some acting to do in
addition to their music making.
Frankie Carle and his orchestra
will have five numbers in R.K.O.’s
Riverboat Rhythm, including his
famous “Sunrise Serenade.”
Harry James’ next picture will be
Young Man With a Horn, The
producer’s promise plenty of good
music.
As for the records you’ll be look
ing for this month, here are the best
by Columbia: Frankie Sinatra and
Xavier Cugat’s orchestra combine
on My Shawl and Stars in Your
Eyes. Now, don’t rush, girls. On
second thought maybe you’d better.
If they’re all gone, maybe you can
settle for Cugat’s Favorite Rumhas,
an album of Cugie’s pet Latin Amer
ican ditties including Begin- the Be-
guine. Green Eyes, Besame Mucho.
and others; four records in all.
The Modernaires, with Paula
Kelly, have done their usual good
(See P. 4, Col. 3)
BEEN TO THE LIBRARY?
Have you had an opportunity to
glance through the librai-y and to
note some of the new books on the
shelves? Probably not, but now
that things are quieting down- and
we’re all settling down to that old
routine, perhaps all of us will find
some time in which to visit the
library FOR PLEASURE.
On the fiction shelves an interest
ing addition is the novel by James
Ramsey Ullman, The White Tower.
This is the powerful story of five
men and a woman whose common
aim was to climb that icy peak, so
well named the White Tower. The
story is set in neutral Switzerland
in the Alpine valley of Kandermatt.
Although their aim was common,
their reasons were clearly different.
The story of their attempts results
in this delightful novel well worth
your time.
A few shelves down might be
found the novel So Well Remem
bered, James Hilton’s latest publica
tion. The story is set in a small
English town before and during the
Second "World War. It is the story
of a plain man who became a hero,
as well as the story of the sinister
influence of a remarkable woman
over three men. So Well Remem
bered is a worthy addition to the list
of James Hilton’s beloved novels.
Turning to more serious subjects,
we find Behold The Man, a book
compiled of opinions, observations,
and interpretations of Christ the
Man, God, Messiah, Reformer,
Teacher, Prophet, and Leader.
There are, all together, notes from
400 such outstanding people as Na
poleon, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, and Pope Leo the
Eighth.
In the scientific section an inter
esting addition is Autobiography of
Science. This is the collection of
original notes on the discoveries
^ made in all fields of science by the
discoverers themselves. Hippocrates
on medicine, Darwin on natural se
lections, Franklin on electricity are
all included, and many more.
Names On The Land by George
R. Stewart is an interesting as well
as valuable book in the history sec
tion. It relates the exciting account
of the Spanish, French, Dutch, and
English settlers in America, and
therefore forms a history of the
United States. It gives the origin
of all the names of the principal
cities as well as the states of the
Union. As an example, California
was brought about by a Spanish ro
mance, and the name Utah was
forced on the people against their
will.
In the literature section, there is
a brand new book. The Shoch of
Recognition edited by Edmund Wil
son. It is the history of American
literature including essays, memoirs,
diaries, letters, and other documents.
Returning to fiction again, a Book-
of-the-Month Club selection. The
World, The Flesh, and Father Smith
by Bruce Marshall is an amusing
story of a priest in a Scottish city.
It is also the story of his friends and
all the people who come into his
world. Three decades are covered
by this story.
That’s all about the books for
now, although you’ll find lots of
other new. ones not listed here. See
you in the Library.
