Belles Send “Invite” To MM The Belles takes this opportu nity to deny emphatically that the Masked Marvel has ever had din ner in the dining room, attended chapel, or given a program in the auditorium, undetected. However, the Belles has a sug gestion. Let’s ‘invite’ the MM to commencement week-end, since he insists on coming uninvited, and maybe while he’s deep in conver sation with someone,, we can in terview him. Load Gets Lift From Florida To New York Damp-Ejed Seniors Plan To Continue Studies Lately there have been several little pieces submitted by damp eyed seniors. We’ve a feeling they just want to get their two-cents worth in before they leave. But anyway, here’s what some of the dignified seniors intend to do with the next few best years of their lives. . . The heavy load is being lifted, and from now on the weight is going to be more evenly distri buted. The constitution commit tee has recently made several ad justments in the constitution, and as a result more students wdll have a chance to display their ex ecutive abilities. Heretofore, too much responsibility has been placed on too few girls. Too few horses have been pulling too heavy a cart. Now. however, the points given for hall presidency have been “upped,” and only girls who do not already hold a high office are eligible. This position has been changed from a one-semester to a two-semester job, decreasing the number of hall presidents from sixty to thirty. This avoids the confusion of “switching horses in the middle of the stream,” and gives more girls a more direct voice in the student government. And incidentally, the name hall president will be changed to coun selor to indicate more clearly the function of the office. Jacq insists that she’s going to the Academic Moderne in Boston. More power to her! “Ebo” is starting early with summer school and winter school at the Univer sity of West Virginia. Rose, Frances Long, and Lib Burns are going to W. C. Jerry Ann hopes to go, too. It seems as if Salem is running a close second to Chapel Hill, ’cause Logan, Jo Hoyt, Sadie, Sue Stowers, Lucy, Maggie, and Betsy Evans are goin’ to finish their readiii’, writin’, and ’rith- metic there. “Kalevas” and “Sandy” are going to practice their big-city manners in New York, and Anita is departing for other quarters—the University of Florida. Jo Howell is taking her “Rastus act” to Brenau, and Wil lingham and Corneille are going Wanted! Open-Air Class Day to co-ed at the University of Georgia. “Bones” may go to Queens, and Jeannette is going to settle down in California—temporarily. “Wad dle” is going to South Carolina— to Converse ? Margaret Rawlings, “Aydlett,” and “Linehan” have visions of beconiing career wom en. Nellie might as well expect a good time. She’s going to R. P. I. No doubt, “Vee” will still love Ur sinus. ’Course, the biggest crowd will be at Chapel Hill. Those we’ve “heerd tell of” are “Eppes,” Elea nor Hope, “Tut,” Edith Winslow, “Mecia,” Jackie Burke, Preston, Musette, Lenoir, Pegge, “Buddy,” Jane Gower, and “Ibby.” Duke’ll get Luck, Lucinda, “Holland,” Gene, and “Butch.” To be sure, “Hannah” won’t be wor rying much about books next year—it’s'our belief that she’s the luckiest senior of all. To all those seniors whose schools we haven’t heard about, best of luck on your future Ph.D’s. New Brand Of Stardust Creates Much Fun For Beach Lovers’ Clan The controversial question has arisen; “Should the seniors’ class day be held inside or out?” The main argument against the out side seems to be that the hearing system is bad. Otberwise, the ar rangement seems to be ideal. It does seem a sbame that everyone has to be cooped up in semi-dark ness and merely pe(‘p at the shin ing, ali'.e, outside world through half-cle;,ed windows when she could be outside really enjoying life herself. Class day isn’t simply another program. It’s a celebra tion, a happy celebration, and it should be held iji an atmosphere of beauty and gladness. Where? The most popular brand of stardust these days is called sand. Y^ou know, s-a-n-d, that good old white stuff that gets in your hair, in your shoes, and in your bed. Debaters discuss the merits of Nag’s Head versus Ocean Drive, or Wrightsville, or Virginia, or Carolina Beach sand. There are endless possibilities. The after study hall play-par ties are devoted to a swift game of “beach.” To play, one dons her oldest party hat, rolls her jeans to her knees, places a fag behind her ear in the approved “bum” fashion, and turns on the juke box. It’s not a bad game. More enterprising or fanatic members of the beach lovers’ clan have developed the pretend art to the “nth.” They are the ones who stroll by Walgreen’s bare footed to ogle the display of pe- roxided locks found there almost everv afternoon. Anyone interested in lessons from professionals can report for a short course on second Holt or third Smedes. Do You Ever See A Cell Walking? We Do! If you are not the unfortunate owner of two h-u-g-e blue books— the contents nothing but 1-o-n-g unpronouncable words—you will not understand or appreciate this story, nor will jmu symipathize Outside, of course—not in the au ditorium. The hearing system is good. Everyone can hear. And four or five y’ears ago class day’ was often held outdoors. It does require more effort and planning, but it’s cooler and prettier and different. After all, God’s world is here to enjoy. Why not do so? Off The Record Raleigh’s Little Theater will pre sent Paul Osborne’s On Borrowed Time in its amphitheater May 27, 28, 29. This play, under the direc tion of Ainslie Pryor, is not included on the regular membership ticket.

These spongy cells work their way to the vacuoles where no proto plasm is present. In other words, no male mail. Finally stepping from the epi dermal layer to the stomata, we sneak by' the guard cells—no re flection on the hostesses on duty'!
