Town Talk
Spring vacation is now in sight
And muchly we wish with all our
might
That instead of March ’twas nearer
June.
But then September would come
again soon
And back to school we’d be;
As you can plainly see . . . Life’s a
trap !
With the warmer weather day
students are finding even more
things to do. The week-end of the
twenty-eighth found quite a few at
the Sigma Chi pledge-brother party.
Among the “sweethearts” were Jane
Clendenin, Ceile Bickett, Liza Chip-
ley, Doris Ashley, Betty Lokey, and
Frances Bickett, ’47. The girls say
it was quite a party.
The first week-end in March was
enlivened by the State Publications’
Banquet-dance. Seen there were
Bert Euss, Prissy and many others.
Edith Winslow left for the deep
South last Thursday for a council
meeting in Atlanta. At least that’s
where she says she went, but there
are reasons to suspect her of ulterior
motives, a male, that is.
Have you heard of the new soror
ity just chartered in the day stu
dents’ room ? It’s the local chapter
of Bumma Sig and Tuck has been
elected its first president.
Hews flash . . . ! Marguerite Bur
ton and Eleanor Tucker are plan
ning a wonderful trip to Miami dur
ing spring vacation. Lokey is going
to Eocky Mount, and ’Mecia, to
Goldsboro. The rest of us are look
ing foiuvard to a quiet week at home
and a chance to recover from our
yearly nervous breakdowns.
Got to do research paper now . . .
Eemember the thirteentli!

Saints^ Sallies
Charles Lee says, in the New York
Times, that it is “a rarely excellent
work of humanized history and high
entertainment, brilliant in all of its
component parts.”
Another best seller, The Meaning
of Treason, by Eebecca West, is a
book about British traitors of the
last war. Miss West bases her inter
esting stories on trials and court
martial cases. One of the cases in
the book concerns William Joyce,
commonly known as Lord Haw-Haw
who was on trial for treason during
the war. Struthers Burt says, in
The Saturday Review of Literature,
“This seems to me the most admir
able and important book Miss West
has written.”
I Remember Distinctly, a delight
ful book by Agnes Eogers and Fred
erick Lewis Allen, is an album of
pictures and comments on fashion,
sports, crime, politics, society, and
entertainment dating from 1918 to
1941. Eichard Watts says, in The
New Republic, Agnes Eogers and
Lewis Allen “have produced a fascL
nating book which will delight every
body and satisfy nobody.”
How that the breezy month of
March is here at its wildest, the
Saint’s Sallies can feel not only the
gusty wind but the intoxicating real
ization that spring fever has planted
its lovin’ germs in their blood! It
might be well to add that our circu
latory systems are no different from
anyone else’s, because sooner or later
the chief content of our blood
(spring fever) marclies through our
hearts with irregular rhythm of
steps.
The battalions of March’s army
are many. Among them are the
Sallies who make up the “Telephone
Slaves”; “Chocolate Droopers,” who
are commanded by those guys that
insist on showing their affection
through candy; “Crush Buddies,”
who are completely overcome by new
interests; “Bi-Daffy Censors,” who
become completely weary from read
ing an overload of fan mail; and
the “Misses Bewildered, we are,”
who aren’t mad at the world but have
problems ’n’ problems; and the
“Dreamers,” who are typical S.M.S.
gals.
Active in the “Telephone Slaves”
is one Susan Joyner. It’s rumored
that there are no less than one-half
dozen calls for her every day. Betty
Cheek is an obedient slave to a ring
of the phone that comes all the way
from Miami!
Mary DuBose, of “Chocolate
J)roopers” excelled all other mem
bers ill her division when she rated
a box of birthday candy from a
fella’ she had dated only one time.
Flee, though not from candy eating,
is still under the Doc’s orders. Liz
Guion, originally of “Chocolate
Droopers,” has cramped her style by
becoming the recijiieiit of Cleo and
Crab from a course which made her
unfaithful to her old buddies.
Jo Hoyt and ’Hita Buck of
“Crush Buddies” describe their lat
est Washington crushes as “all the
handsome movie throbs rolled into
two.” Buddies Burnette and Brad
ley are breathing sighs over State
Sigma Chi’s—“make a rhyme every
time,” that’s their motto. Com
manders C. B. Mary Joe and C. B.
Bobbette are still excited because
Dick and Harold were here last
week-end.
Harriet Eutherford’s handbook
teacher failed on stressing not alloAv-
ing one boy to monopolize all your
time, since this is her third week-end
with the same guy—lucky boy!
Grace Jones is practicing alternat
ing her crushes between Woodbury
and GMA. Corporal Jo Gaither is
officially expelled from this division
as of now, since she has said she is
joining the High Point Chamber of
Commerce. The nerve!
At an astounding speed Martha
Wallace has taken on absorbing spice
from Ginger’s tasty letters, wdiile
Florence Euffin rushes rejilies to the
“lamb.” Euth Saunders is longing
for Marshall’s letters with Louis-
burg postmarks, and Charlotte
Holmes is pleased with Eay’s pleas
ure over the argyles she knitted for
him. Susan Davis is busy getting
Specials, from SPECIALS, about
specials.

Monk also is keeping the lines
busy . . . !!
