“Seeds of Destiny’
At least one half of the children
in Europe today are stunted in
groAvth because of malnutrition.
Those Avho get enough food to keep
aliA'e live to face possible death from
exposure. Many of these under
nourished, ill-clad children roam
through deserted toAvns and run
through Avoods like Avild beasts.
With little or no guidance, these
“seeds of destiny” are groAving up
(those AA'ho grow up at all!) into
tomorrow’s citizens, the leaders of
Europe’s future. What sort of
peaceful, ciA'ilized Avorld can be ex
pected to emerge from such distorted
lives ?
“Seeds of Destiny,” the movie re
cently shoAvn in assembly, though
unpleasantly realistic, emphatically
reA'ealed to us the sordid conditions
in Euroj)e today. Through the
Church World Service Center Ave
noAv liaA'e our chance to help. Boxes
hav'e been placed at convenient loca
tions around school for any shoes,
clothing, bedding you can give.
AVhen donations are solicited, re-.
member that only one dollar will
gh’e 32 glasses of milk to some hun
gry child.
This is not a cause to be treated
lightly. In a frighteningly tangible
Avay, the Avhole future of the Avorld

probably hear more of this club in
the future.
The Freshman-Sophomore was a
huge success, and orchids go to the
girls who did all the Avork. Betty
Mardre and Mary Beth dated boys
from V.E.S.; Emily deLoach’s date
Avas the envy of all the girls—he Avas
six feet tall! The boys Avere quite
surprised Avheu they saAV the lavish
refreshments—Lucille Best really
outdid herself.
“Mell,” Peggy SAvindell, and Betsy
are all going home Avith Margaret
Lee, and we hear that V.M.I. and
William and Mary will be there too.
By the way, have you seen Mar
garet Lee’s miniature?
Marjorie Riddick Avent to Scot
land Neck to a AA'edding Avith the
hope that she would get the best
man; and speaking of Aveddings, Ave
heard that Martha Conger’s broth
er’s Avedding was a sensation. For
further information see Betty Ann
Cooper.
The Kappa Sig’s and Kappa
Alpha’s at Wake Forest are having
their big dance this week-end, and
Mary Leah plans to be there Avith
bells on. Luck Flanders is giving
her KA a pretty hard time. Con
gratulations, Luck!
At the dance one boy Avalked in

Gene Hines ?” Can you top that ?
