Local Student Hypnotized
In a lecture at Ayeoek auditorium,
Woman’s college, Wednesday, March
15, Dr. Franz J. Polgar hypnotized 16
people, among them Jimmy Huffine of
Senior high.
“He just had us make our minds
blank and he looked into our eyes,”
Hufline said. “Then he counted to
three, snapi)ed his fingers, and tapped
us on the forehead.” That was all as
far as the victims wore concerned—
they passed out, insensible.

for a while was a profe.ssor at the
TJniver.slty of Budapest. He is now
on a lecture tour of the United States.

Begonia Causes
Sensation
as
Librarian Goes in for Nature
Apparently celebrating the advent of
spring is the “Rat Tail Begonia” (we
think it is a rat tail) now in bloom
in the library. Mrs. Hall, when asked
of its history, explained that the Be
gonia belongs to Miss Lily Walker,
of the math department, who asked
her to take care of the specimen dur
ing the winter.
For those of a scientific or historical
inclination, the whole begonia family
was named after Michel Bigon (1638-
1710), one time governor of Santo
Domingo.

$15,000 Set As Goal
For Council's Second
War Bond Campaign
Having set a goal of $15,000, student
council members will open a second
war bond drive on April 18. Originally
planned for this week, the drive was
moved to this later time because as
sembly program dates were filled up to
that Tuesday in April. A student as
sembly will open sales for the cam
paign although the program has not
been revealed.
If Senior high students exceed the
goal, a Fairchild AT-15 will be pur
chased with the bond money raised.
An intensive campaign will be held
in each homeroom, as council repre
sentatives lead the students. Charts
and posters again will be installed in
the session rooms to boost buying.
During the past weeks. Chairman
Bill Bogart and his group have been
working out further plans for this
project which will close approximately
Ma3^ 2. The complete committee with
Bogart includes Joe Albright, Gertrude
Archer, Billie McNeely, Allene Parks,
Irwin Smallwood, Pete Miller, Betsy
John Hurley, Howard Morris and Mar
garet Rhudy. These volunteered their
services at the March 13 meeting.
Supply shop sales will be handled
in the mornings by Gertrude Archer
and Billie McNeely. They kept records
in the December drive which brought
$12,601 in cash value of bonds.
