We of tb The March of Dimes is a wonderful program, but how many of us really think about it and give what we can to help? The real goal of the prevention program is to develop and test a vaccine which can stop polio epidemics before they start. It is to this end that the 1954 March of Dimes is dedicated. The March of Dimes has financed field studies for the prevention of polio in the past, and an even bigger offensive is scheduled in the future. The National Eoundation for Infantile Paralysis now is entering the field of actual polio prevention. An estimated 35,000 persons contracted polio in 1953. This was well below the 1952 record of 57,000 cases, but it was still the sixth straight year of polio incidence. plication of theory learned in sew ing class and give these girls an opportunity to create finished gar ments which they will be proud to wear. So interesting has been the field of Home Economics that one member of our senior class who will graduate from the business de- partmnt in June plans to enter a senior college and major in Home Economics.

The Jaycees under the leader ship of Don Cox are in charge of the campaign in Mars Hill. Arrange ments will be made to collect student contributions. Are you going to be one of the 3,000,000 persons to help make this campaign a success? Nice Going We point with pride to the basketball team, coaches, pep band, cheer leaders, and loyal fans who have done so much to make this year’s basket ball season the success it has been thus far. The loyal teamwork and im proved sportsmanship of the players are reasons for the mounting success of the season. The coaches as usual have done their job well and faith fully. The spirit of the fans is kept alive at the quarters, half-times, and before the game by the cheerleaders and the pep band. The introduction of jazz has also been an added attraction to the games. Last of all the students and faculty of the college should be commended on their fine support. Every basketball game finds the gymnasium with every seat filled and much of the standing room. Also the number of faculty members present is a credit to the players and their game.

If you have not made that resolution make it now, and try with all your might to make it work somehow. Students, friends, and teachers; I never knew until recently that I had so many friends both at school and at home. I want to thank each one of you that had a part in showing this to me. Yet I feel so unworthy of the kindness shown toward me my moments of sorrow. in Words are unable to express my feelings of thanks toward you. Larry Skipper I work in the cafeteria line you know, So I adjust rnyself to the language of joe. You know him — he’s the guy beside you. He comes to breakfast — fresh as dew, Grabs a fray and to the task he jumps. ’ Next he mumbles as though he has mumps, 1 hen calmly yells — he wants some mmmmmmph. But you were wrong he wanted uuuuuummmmmph. He takes his mmmmph and arrives at the bread. You know by now he’s not asleep but dead. With one eye nearly open and the other glued tight. He proceeds to count on his fingers with might. Now he holds them behind his back to say, "Guess how many biscuits I want today.” ’ Finally moving on with nine in his hand He approaches the grapefruit and takes a stand. One in hand, and his eye on the juice. He empties two glasses — the third is in use To the end of the line (to my joy) he slithers. But the eight o clock bell brings our Joe to jitters. -He grabs a biscuit sopped in mmmmmph I And runs to class still chewing his mmuuuuummph. On Ha —Clara Brincefield
