The theme: Looking Forward, is explained in the foreword (page 2). The color scheme is from the colors of spring. Lime- green for the first budding leaves and red-brown for the soil they grovi in. Spring we chose believing that this year has marked the end of an ugly winter and the beginning of a peaceful summer after the era of World War 11.

You ' re leaving your key. Yes, your key to the hook. Before you go on glancing at pictures, scanning the hook, and missing the point, won ' t you let us give you a key to its scheme and an idea of what to expect? Our scheme is to use the plan of a woman ' s magazine as far as possible. This we chose believing that women ' s magazines best record the progress of womanhood in the various fields for which students of TSCVV are studying. It also offered excel- lent standards and improvements in yearbook makeup. Such planning is exem- plified in part by the cover, the introduction of feature articles, the new trends of photography, the modern layouts, and the advertisements observing column form. Our theme is TSCVV Looking Forward. This we chose because it has been a year of Dumbarton Oaks Conferences and victorious allied drives ... all planting hope for the future and something to look forward to. That looking forward spirit was brought home to us when we on the staff noticed it in the stride of Winged ' ictory, the jaw line of The Pioneer Woman, and in the inspiration of our Little Chapel. We have striven to capture it in the expression of the girl on our cover and by feajturp articles in the book proper, not to mention its very atmosphere and style of wj ' iting. ■ ' V Our aims have been many. Our first was to give you tut very best yearbook you have ever had. Close onto its heels was to give you a memory book that ' s value would increase with every day, every year that passed. We like to think of your sitting with your grandkids on your knee, showing and reading to them about everything you did . . . from the books you read and the movies you saw to the clothes you wore and the fads you encouraged; and above all, the col- lege you went to. We hope that the book reflects our pride and mirrors our love for just those things. You may go on now ... Thank you, C ne 943 JyaeoaLian Staff Dedication j ' -JT Mother, Even as I am looking forward, I must look back to you and your generation. My generation and I needed your ex- periences . . . your guidance . . . your understanding. We needed them to prepare usj for our lap in the perpetual relay of civilization.

It has re- minded them that they are a select group of young women with a single purpose. The present generation of TSCW also realizes its heri- tage and capacities. But we realize, too, that our years spent here have been guided and directed by the un- renowned but great personages of our time. To the Regents, the Faculty, and the Administration we wish to extend our thanks for helping to make us finer, more capable American women. May we not toil the trust that you have placed in us. — G.K.

Tkxas OmCE or TBK Prkbidk January 16, 1945 To the Class of 1945; TJow that you have reached thb lest milestone of the road leading to your bachelor ' s degrees, it may be well to ask -what you have gained fror: the journey; much I hope, but especially the enlargement of your vision, the broadening of your horizons, the ability to look upward. If you nave not gained in spiritual strength, I am afraid your exertions will not prove helpful. The treasures you have acquired, while they glitter now, will prove later to be only dross. Remember the vrards of the Psalmist, I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. And remember, too, these words of the native Maoris of New Zealand, Seek you the little treasure of your heart; If you bow your head let it be to a lofty mountain. Very sincerely, L. H.

After learning colors, mechanical drawing, the anatomy, and other groundwork, the girl is ready to apply this knowledge in the various fields of Advertising Design, Art Education, Cos- tume Design and Fashion Illustration, Design, History of Art, Interior Decoration, Painting, Fash- ion Merchandising, Clothing and Costume De- sign, and Occupational Therapy. BIBLE The great variety of material found in the Bible makes it of great educational value, not only in itself, but in correlation with other sub- jects in a student ' s course. Instruction in this subject aims to secure for the student the bene- fits to be gained from a broader culture and a deeper spiritual life. BIOLOGY . Bacteriology, Biology, Botany, and Zoology are divisions of the Department of Biology. The goals of the groups of courses are: to contribute toward a cultural background; to provide a broad foundation for the teaching of biology, and gen- eral science; and to provide special training in fields of respective majors. 26 THE FACULTY Adams, Joy Economics and Business Aderhold, Angeline Music Andrews.

Chemistry Corpron, Carlotta M. Art CHEMISTRY . . . Courses in chemistry are varied to give majors a knov rledge of the many phases and to aid non-majors in obtaining a general knowledge of the vast field. Interesting courses are offered which combine experience in the chemistry de- partment and in other departments of the college. The department offers a major in Chemistry and a major in Industrial Secretary and Laboratory Assistant in Chemistry. ECONOMICS -BUSINESS . . . The preparation of students for efficient par- ticipation in the complex business society of to- day is the broad objective of the Department of Economics and Business. The curriculum is de- signed to provide opportunity for understanding the complex structure of modern industrial so- ciety, to provide training for business careers, and to train teachers for commercial work, and its social studies. EDUCATION . . . Philosophy, and Psychology. Not only for students who intend to become teachers, but for any student, there are advantageous courses offered in education, philosophy, and psychology, which aid in completing a well-rounded educa- tion. This department is charged with the respon- sibility of caring for the professional training required for teachers in the public schools of Texas. ENGLISH . . . Besides the required English courses for un- dergraduates, the Department of English offers interesting advanced courses in English for non- majors as well as majors. The subject of English was authorized in the first catalogue of the Col- lege. From the beginning until the close of 1914- 1915, the department was designated as English Language and Literature. In 1915-1916 the name was changed to English. 28 Cotteral, Bonnie Health, Physical Education and Recreation Grumpier, Helen M.

Language courses in this department include Spanish, French, German, Greek, Latin, and Portu- guese. A knowledge of several languages is valu- able not only from a scholastic but also from a cultural viewpoint. Beginning with the session of 1920-1921 and since that year, the college has offered major subjects, leading to the B. A. de- gree, in Spanish, French, and Latin. The summer school at Saltillo, Mexico, is a well-known branch of the TSCW foreign language department. GOVERNMENT . The importance of an acquaintance with the government of the United States and of Texas is emphasized by the state requirement that each graduate of a state supported institution must have six hours of government. The department gives the student a wide selection of courses in government, its problems, and its administration. HEALTH Physical Education, and Recreation. Courses in this department vary from active sports and dances to classes and conditioning exercises for body control. By offering degree work in physi- cal education, the college has performed a use- ful function in the training of teachers. PHYSICAL EDUCATION ... In connection with the broad program of health improvement the department now includes a series of lectures given each semester to all students. This department planned the first de- ■ gree group in the field of physical education offered in the colleges of Texas, and its graduates have had a potent influence in shaping the courses of physical education as they are now taught in public schools of the state. 30 Kendrick, John Murray Music Key, Anne Music Lacy, Mattie Lee Art Lang, A.

History Owsley, Stella Music Pearson, Elida Marion Biology 31 HISTORY . . Purpose of courses in this department is to give the student an understanding of the essen- tial features of the development of the modern nations and of the process by which western civilization became what it is today. The subject of history is one that appeals naturally to the interests of young women, with the result that it has always enjoyed a high degree of popu- larity. HOME ECONOMICS ... In the educational scheme of Texas, this department has performed three outstanding ser- vices; it has trained the young women of the State for efficient homemaking; it has had a large part in the training of teachers of home economics for the public schools of this and near- by states; and it has trained more home demon- stration agents than any other educational agency in Texas. Students interested in Home Economics may choose their majors from ten divisions. JOURNALISM . With the session of 1925-1926 the Depart- ment of Journalism was created. Courses in jour- nalism were taken from the Department of English and combined with courses in linotyping taken from the Department of Manual Arts. Together they were placed into the new department desig- nated as Journalism. Besides the regular courses in reporting, advertising, and general background study, the student is able to obtain practical ex- perience by working on the publications; the Lass-O, Daedalian Quarterly, and Daedalian Annual. LIBRARY SCIENCE ... A general and detailed knowledge of the library, its facilities, and its advantages may be obtained from library science courses for any student. The curriculum for a degree in Library Science gives invaluable experience to the stu- dent who plans to have this for her career. 32 Pearson, Mable Economics and Business Pettit, Harlan Music Pierce, Thomas E.

The age-old saying that girls cannot learn mathematics is downed at TSCW where a va- riety of courses is offered to all girls, and proof is always resulting that the mastery of math is not limited to men alone. The subject of mathematics was taught from the beginning of the college and was one of the original departments organ- ized in 1903-1904. Although many girls choose it as a cultural subject, it is largely preparatory; and many graduates are making successful teach- ers of mathematics in the public schools of this country. MUSIC Only vocal music was offered by TSCW at the beginning, but now students of music may specialize in Piano, Voice, Violin, Organ, Orches- tral Music, and Music Education. Courses in the- ory, musicology, and applied music are offered besides the number of concerts and recitals in which girls appear. From the first, the several branches of music have been popular, and stu- dents have elected music courses liberally. PHOTOGRAPHY ... In its various phases photography offers a rapidly growing field of employment for women. The photography courses offered in the Depart- ments of Physics and Art are planned with a view of giving necessary training in this field. PHYSICS . Courses in physics were offered by the col- lege from the beginning. Originally, however, the work was combined with that of chemistry and photography. Like chemistry, physics has been a valuable service department to other ma- jors, especially to the several groups of home economics; and more especially has household physics held this relationship to vocational home economics. 34 Vacca, Mary Lucile Foreign Languages Vanderkooi.

A great deal of the work required for a degree in home demon- stration, described as a group in home economics, is given in Rural Arts. Students have found it desir- able to elect courses in this department, such as landscaping, dairying, poultry, and floriculture. SOCIOLOGY ... The study of sociology contributes to the stu- dent ' s cultural background, prepares definitely for the social relationships of home and commumty life and affords training for three professions m which women are especially successful. A demand for social work, social research, and for the teach- ing of social sciences has increased greatly in the past decade, and indications are that the increased demand will be sustained for years to come. SPEECH A division of Fine Arts, the Department of Speech offers valuable practical training in addi- tion to class instruction. Speech students may major in Original Speech, Interpretation, Drama, and Cor- rective Speech. There are many plays, recitals, and other productions in which students may participate. Students may act in the Texas School of the Air Broadcast, and they also present other regular ra- dio broadcast programs. THERAPY Comparatively new but important is the field of therapy. Many students who have graduated from TSCW have made outstanding records in phy- siotherapy. The Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation collaborates with ihe Department of Fine Arts in offering basic courses which are prerequisite to a license in Occupational Therapy. A degree in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation also prepares the graduate for en- trance into the field of Recreational Therapy. 36 Castleberry, Claude Purchasing Agent, Storeroom Chernik, Jo Lene Nurse, Col lege Infirmary Cook, Fanita C.

An essential element in the intellectual life of the college, the TSCW library contains approxi- mately 85,000 volumes. In addition, it has classi- fied pamphlets, current periodicals, government publications, material from other colleges, and issues of leading state and national newspapers. EXTENSION SERVICE .... The purpose of the Extension Service is to assist in the artistic and literary advancement of the state through its cultural programs, and to give to the people practical, usable information which it has been able to assemble through its faculty, its libraries, and its laboratories. This active contribution is an effort to promote a for- ward-looking movement in Texas. HEALTH SERVICE ... A corps of nurses headed by a graduate phy- sician make up the capable and busy staff of Hygeia, TSCW ' s miniature hospital. With these experienced nurses and all necessary facilities, the student is given excellent medical attention at all times. Hygeia was built in 1935. NEWS BUREAU Situated in the Journalism Building, the TSCW News Bureau plays an important part in college life by handling all college and student publicity. Mailing stories about students is one of the main activities of the bureau, and the write-ups are sent to almost every state in the union. 38 Rouse, Elline Nurse, College Infirmary i Singleton, Dorothy Assistant Librarian i Still, Mrs. Bess M.

The group pictured above are officers of the senior class serving as hostesses to members of the fresh- man class on their tour of the dorm they hope to live in some day. The year started with a first : The Senior Frolic. A singing and reminiscing get-together for new and old students. October brought the senior breakfast indoors for the iirst time, and December brought the Christmas prom held in Stoddard Hall. The biggest first came in February when the Class of ' 45 failed to win the stunts and became the iirst class to go all four years without having owned the cup. Senior Day added the twenty-fifth link in the traditional sil- ver chain, and May ' s Spring Formal gave them their last tessie prom. . . . First to graduate on a Thursday and iirst not to hove Bacculaurate on Sunday, the Class of ' 45 was the iirst class to grad- uate out of World War II.

AlMA, By the time a Tessie becomes a junior all the fresh- man greenness and the sophomore this-campus-is-mina attitude have worn off, and the junior now becomes a woman of the world. Corps trips, or rather their substi- tutes, and dates are all a part of it. Heavy class loads make them few and far between, but when the time comes, it ' s no little affair as is shown by the class offi- cers pictured above waiting at the station before this year ' s victorious TCU-A M football game. The Class of ' 46 has dutifully kept the roof over Brack slightly raised, and kept up the class spirit with several parties and dances including a history-making Gay Nineties party in the Recreation Room and a combined Soph-Junior formal dance.

Primping and planning had already begun by the class officers when the above picture was taken. The traditional Harvest Moon was rained into the old college club; man shortage combined the fall dance with the junior class; and a spring picnic had to be substituted for a formal, but ALL was redeemed when Katherine Scott walked off the stage with that Class Stunts Cup for the second time.

Path, The trail that wound mid sturdy oaks From Redbud Lane to the mail box hoax. Long had it been a walk of beauty Except when Ceres had done her duty And drowned tradition in Denton rains With ne ' er a retread (much less mud chains) To pull that hill in class bound trains. Pipes and wires and witty signs Hove served as hurdles and a laugh sometimes. But nature ruled and the Tessie cut Despite all laments of an ugly rut. The workmen have landed and driven their picks Into forty yecrrs of Freshman tricks. A straight, vast biway will take its place As a practical expedient for the modem pace. But the lure of cutting ' s like forbidden fruit; It ' s a flavor its own; no other will suit So guess we ' ve to find another route No matter the name or ill repute. — L.

' I ' - J ' t To a freshman just off to College, moving-in and starting a mild form of light housekeeping in a dormitory is one of the most exciting memories of College. The freshman group above were caught moving-in — or invading — so they called it. The largest class on the campus, the freshmen proved their spirit, talent, and class loyalty when they presented the Freshman Frolic, Fish Bait, to the upper- classmen in assembly and when they yelled their lungs out Stunt Night. They have had two class dances this year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The Freshmen presented the College with over $700 on Gift Day, the largest amount pre- sented by the classes. 112 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Elouise Johnson President Jean Van Arsdel ....

THE ROUND TABLE The Round Table, under the direction of Ernestine Ashe, is a federation of all campus organizations. It acts as coordinat- ing and administrative body organizing and directing policies concerning either individual parts or the whole organization group. These clubs organized by the students, are designed to bring together groups with common interests in order to encourage cooperation, develop leadership, provide good fellowship, and stimulate the social life of the campus. Almost every phase of campus life is covered by the ten groups of clubs represented on the following pages. The Women ' s Recreational Association is Iha largest organization on the campus. It has a membership of 2,500, as every student automatically becomes a member when she enrolls, thus assuring her facilities for a full recreational life. The Student Council of Religious activities is active in its effort lo stimulate religious and spiritual growth on the campus and promote the activities of the local churches. Early morning worship services at the Little Chapel are sponsored each Sunday by the different religious groups represented on the Council. The Student Advisory Council, friend of the freshmen, helps new students over the rough spots by providing them with big sisters to show them around and orientate them to college life. Student Finance Council sponsors fund drives and has kept the School at War Flag flying for two years. The honorary and scholarship organizations are to stimulate, develop, and recognize sc holarship and those elements of character which make it effective. Under this classification come Alpha Chi, Alpha Kappa Delta, Alpha Lambda Delta, National Collegiate Players, Phi Upsilon Omicron, Sigma Pi Beta, and Theta Sigmo Phi. The ten literary organizations on the campus further the social life of the students. These clubs are Adelphian, Aglaian, Alice Freeman Palmer, Betsy Ross, Chaparral, Delian, James H. Lowry, Mary Eleanor Brackenridge, and Philomathia. 141 WOMEN ' S RECREATION ASSOCIA- TION FIRST ROW: Jeanne Ar- nold, president; Iris Doyle, recording secretary; Pat Wolfe, historian.

H. Hubbard, was presented once more during the Christmas season by students of the speech and music depart- ments. The lead roles of Mary and Joseph were played this year by Laura Neilson and Betty Jo Cook. Inspired by Mexican Yuletide fes- tivals in Juarez during his boyhood, President Hubbard introduced the pageant that has become a tradi- tion to his girls. Using the titles of Renaissance biblical paintings for the nine scenes in his original The nativitv Pageant Bv President L. H. Hubbard drama, President Hubbard wrote a story that critics have judged unique for the wisdom that it attributes to Mary. The dramatization reflects the author ' s be- lief that Jesus learned from his mother many of the things he later taught his followers. For the thousands of people who come every year to see the pageant, special performances are given. Then the final performance welcomes the students in their traditional candle lit procession. From atop the Music-Speech Building one can see the many streams of students carrying candles and winding their way from all directions over the campus paths. Then as they come nearer their caroling voices may be heard to swell until they have all gathered on the steps below forming a huge chorus of young girls ' voices harmonizing yuletide carols. After a moment of silent prayer, the girls enter the darkened auditorium to see portrayed The Story of the Christ Child. PHOTOGRAPHS BY W. M. LOVELESS A Mid-Summer Night ' s Dream Closing the first semester with a gala load of color and laughter, Shakespeare ' s Midsummer Night ' s Dream was por- trayed in the glory of Seventeenth Century costuming. Settings that bespoke a professional touch lent an air of combined reality and unreality in this fantasy of color, beauty, and humor, so gracefully and plentifully displayed. 196 Scenes pictured from A Mid- Summer Night ' s Dream include M. L. Jones, left, as Puck, crouch- ing devilishly as she waits to spring another prank. Theseus ' s historical court, lower left, being entertain- ed by amateur peasants, is matched by Obernonond Titcmia ' s mythical court of fairies and gnomes, right. Below, the lovers, Lyson- der and Hermia, played by Martha Nell Early and Dorothy Dooley: Demetri- us and Helena, played by Annie Mae Whatley and Jeanne Denman, and Ob- eron and Titania, played by Peggy Gowan and Mary Helen Olsen.

JUDITH McNeill, EdUoT-m-Chiet BAKER JONES RODGERS BARNES GREER SIMPSON MORROW CRAVENS ROBINSON BOYD i Ibt %Si 8 © KEY AND WORTHAM (Editor ' s comment): I ' ve had only one disappoint- ment during the year. Never did I get to streak across the Print Shop yelling, Hold the press! Tear out the front page! The war is over! But without that one old yearning considered, it ' s been good enough a year. Like all other memories, those of the Lass-O ore composed of little things. We ' ll remember the waste baskets always crammed-jammed with our starts and restarts on stories; the big round copy reading desk, where we ' ve sat so many times checking and writing heads; the dictionaries we could never find when there were no more adjectives in our mental list. And in the Print Shop, the pots of kin; the thrill of making up a page even if the lines are all out of place; learning to read type backwards; watching Mr. Church set type, and then about thirty minutes later saying, Do I bother you? Of course, there are the other things that did not seem little at the time, like the press breaking down and the Lass-O coming out at ten o ' clock. That was the time we nearly decided to make it a m.oming paper. Although the real hope for this year wasn ' t ful- filled, the war ' s end extra, when that day comes, there ' ll be another Lass-O staH. We know they will remember how much we wanted to set that banner- head, and we ' ll be with them in that way. That ' s the Lass-O. It works that way. — Judy McNeill O ' BRIEN AND FARIAS HOOVER IVIATSLER DEDtvlON WILSON McCULLAR Student Weekly Publication of the TEXAS STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN DENTON, TEXAS Editor-in-Chief Judith McNeill Associate Editors Geneice Key, Margarita Farias, Joan O ' Brien News Editors . .

Lottie Wilson, Jess McCulIar Photographer Frances Matsler Cartoonist Leta Mae Calhoun Business Manager Dolores Worthara It is customary in articles of this nature to eulogize each member of the staff and thank God for the talent with which He blessed each one. It is also customary to start with the editor. But since that is me writing this copy, I can ' t afford to talk about myself that way. (Ordi- narily one ' s mother does all the bragging for the child, but mine is conscientious.) Or I could start at the bottom with the office boy, but that ' s me, too. I ' ve seen a janitor in here twice this year. Once at 6:00 a. m. when he swept out the copy for the Saltillo story; then again last Saturday when he asked me where a dust pan was. I gave him on old picture of you and told him to scoop all he could up with that and sweep the rest of it into the next room like I do. Let ' s start with the Associate Editor, Nancy Huff, who is from my home town. Although I did not know her well, I once took painting lessons from her grandmother; and the impression I got from her was of a very scholarly, exacting character. Then when I met Nancy down here and watched her file your subscription cards with the speed of a machine, I decided right then she would compensate for my lack of scholarship, accuracy, and speed. Once appointed associate editor, , she turned out to be quite human. Not near the dull, prudish scholar. ! Quite a wit — and a hard worker, too. 1 think we worked her too hard though; she insists that she ' s going to Texas U next year. And there ' s Mat — couldn ' t miss her. Although I was threatening to fire her all the time she wasn ' t threatening to quit, I guess she was pretty valuable. An annual without any pictures would be kinda weak, and without Mat we wouldn ' t have had any pictures. Also she helped our prestige by getting acquainted with such notables as James Melton while serving as Daedalian Photography Editor. Seri- ously, it has been swell working with Mat. How so many experiences and memories can be packed into nine months of friendship is be- yond me.

This magazine has been published at various intervals— monthly, quarterly, three times annually, and this year, semi-annually— but every year there has been a Daedalian Literary magazine. This has earned TSCW the distinction of having the only literary magazine among Southwest col- leges that has had a continuous history of more than twenty-five years. This year also marks the initiation of on annual $25 award the Daedalian magazine will give to the Texas Institute of Letters. This amount will go annually to the Texas poet whose volume of poetry is considered to be the best of the year. Staff members for 1944-1945 have been Helen Renfro, Editor-in-Chief; Margaretta Reeve, Literary Editor; Elizabeth Koons, Art Editor; Miss Mamie Walker, sponsor. The Daedalian contributors have been TSCW students of all classifications. 208 Contributors having work pub- lished in the magazine this year in- clude the group pictured on the left. They are, standing ieft to right, Mary Kathryn Reedy, Jocelyn Durrett, Rose Mooneyham, Marjorie Cain, and Mary-gene Underwood. Seated left to right. Patsy Serafino and Dorothy Perkins.

Inside our great machine no part in it ever does the same thing exactly the same way twice. We can never make the same trump twice; never re- call how we figured that math problem dur- ing eco. this morning; never sell the same percentage of stamps; never tell a tale or ex- pouse our philosophy of life the same way in any two bull sessions; never twice jump when a Puck-humored room- mate screws a flash bulb in the light socket and waits in the next room for our screa-Ti when we come home and snap the switch; never tv ice know the joy of receiving a card through the Red Cross saying: I ' m well.

Inside we are 2,500 individuals experienc- ing the most crucial period of our life — ven- turing from under moth- er ' s wing. For four years we live in a world all our own. Equipped with our own chapel, postoffice, bank, laundry, library, dress shops and drug stores, our campus offers a fuller life than most of us will ever actually attain living all over the world. With artists appearing on our stages and masters in our libraries we live in an ever brimming cup of experiences.

You are in- vited to come in and reminisce with two classmates who are waiting for you at your dormitory door right now. CAMPUS L ' 246 W Mfe ' E It ' s a gi-fat life — if yoii can take it. And there is plenty of iciLr t(i it. Not all of wliieli is taking eourses either. To begin with, it ' s the first life we know that isn ' t sheltered niider mother ' s wing. So when the elonds hang low. there ' s no one to buff the rain- dro])s or hold ns while it thunders. For the first time many of us realize the mean- ing of a good dis]3osition. Living under one roof with ' i. ' iO other girls will do that — if living in one room with three others won ' t. And living in that one room without a maid is usually the em- bryo (if not the necessity) of our housekeeping- e.xperience. Sometimes it is quite obvious whv it is called light housekee]n ' ng. ' hen the laun- dry is no longer found neatly folded in the bureau drawer, we learn tiie purjiose of a laundry bag and go under the bed after our socks. ' hen the menu isn ' t exactly wh.-it we were hungry for, nor served at our most convenient hour, that ' s too bad : ]jcrliaps it w is right for some other girl. When classes go on des])ite the arri al of .lohnnv from overseas; when |irofessors all notice the nearness of Dead ' eek at the same time ; when the book in hand is more exciting than the upcoming lec- ture — we go to class. Or else go see Mrs. Wesson. That is one phase of the tnL-e. The other is the more pleasant. It is the jiart we take in: including the ]jleasures, exjieriences, and the thrills that no place like a college can supply. For this sort of fahr there has to be a give. Perhaps this is the best lesson that college life teaches. A ' hen we can board the fl.at to)) tr;uler and enjoy a week-end ou the lake, wiien we can dress for a Concert and Drama Series |)erform- ance, when we can gab in one bull session anil then go to .-inotlier, it is because we have learned to be interested in things and |ieople and have friends we enjoy being with. Life on a campus, irres)jcctive of any class or course, is a rich edu- cation in itself. That is ( ' .-nnpus Life. 247 CAMPUS LIFE K yit Afly U .

Ann Shanks 4 HIS section is in- tended to sivetcii that part of our training which parallels what our boy friends get at their port of em- barkation and what Eastern girls learn at finishing schools — two very opposite appear- ing jjarallels but nev- ertheless ai)plicable, for they are both the final courses teaching calm poise and clear thinking when in the field for which they are preparing. With us our finishing train- ing involves every- thing from polishing for poise by concert and drama entertain- ments to polishing for clear thinking by knowing a foreign lan- guage well. Entertain- ing week-end guests, attending concerts, mingling with foreign heritages, working with children in the demonstration school, learning to relax in recreative activities, checking ourselves for grooming and person- ality — each no less a part of our finishing than the other; each contributory to round- ing our personalities and smoothing the burr edges before we enter the field. If the ])receding section was interpreted to cover those things in con- nection with our dorm- itories, then this .sec- tion nuiy be said to cover those activities largely after signing out of the dorm. Coiiiiueiitary on the 1944-45 Season of COifERT AID DRAMA Musicians, ac- tors, dancers, commentators — these were tlie stars of tlie Con- cert and Drama Series for IQtJ ' - IflL ' , tlie masters i who conducted a more tlian satis- factory extra- curricular course in the arts and current history.

October Sith, and JAN STRU- THER fittingly opened the year ' s program with a lecture students will not soon forget. There was the quintessence of sincerity in her plea for understanding, not tolerance greeted by the audience with the silence of deep apprecia- tion, the best compliment to be paid. She spoke of democracy in unhackneyed terms, with a faint twinge of English humor which did not lessen the impact of her meaning. She was Miss Struther, Mrs. Miniver, and the simple housewife and mother, but above all, a woman, speaking to women about tire prob- lems they are facing now and must cope with in the future. That was the first lesson. We shall have music — and some did from one of its ablest interpretators, BEANCHE THEBOM, mezzo-soprano star of the Metropolitan Opera. Tlie evening of the ,Sist of the JAN STRUTHER Br MARGARITA FARIAS same month saw students in their best bib and tucker filling the auditorium to hear a young woman sing her way to their liearts. The foreign words to her songs needed no interpre- tation. Her voice and dramatic presentation sufficed. Who said the younger generation did not appreciate good music? This college gave the statement the lie with its wholehearted approval of Miss Thebom and the masters. The eyes of FRANZ POLGAR are upon you! The doubt- ing Thomasines finally believed in the powers of hypnotism when the famed Dr. Polgar came to the campus ! Nov. 6. For those who saw him last year, this was a refresher course ; but for the new ones, watching his ex- periment, it was a preplexing ex- perience. Great was the envy of his gift of mem- ory. Telepathy was changed from a theory to a fact when he used it to find his per- formance check. The best part, however, was the laboratory he conducted in hypnotism. A few murmured words, a look from the intense eyes behind the thick glasses, and the volunteers on the stage dozed off hap- pily.

Ancient history, text- boolis on the deeds of warriors from the mother nation of our culture took on new significance in the face of modern soldiers. An evening with DOXALI) DUCK was a pleasant enter- tainment note. It satisfied the curiosity of those who wonder about the making of animated cartoons, for C ' LARKNCF, NASH, the cre.-itor of the feathered comic duck, took the audience on a mythical tour of a movie studio, tracing the m.aking of a cartoon from its initial stages on drawing paper to the finished product.

All this was done by the 2 4 singers and their conduc- tor, diminutive Serge Jaroff . The men, former mem- bers of a Russian regiment in World War I, devoted part of their program to army songs, inserting typical whoops and battle cries of tlie Cossacks. Then again, they sang a love song without wliich the program would have been incomplete. Dark Eyes. But that wasn ' t all. There was one more treat, a dancer who in colorful costume executed the traditional steps of the Russian folk dance. Thus, they supplemented tlie geog- raphy books, giving an intimate view of the true nature of a people who are now allies of this nation. DON COSSACK CHORUS WALTER BAKER later, WALTER BAKER, a young . merican organ- ist, was present- ed in recital. He showed what the organ as a con- cert instrument was capable of doing, and fur- thermore, that an audience could appreciate and really like it. Stu- dents w ho a t - tended, in fact, did like it so much that they recalled him for several encores, an encouraging sign of the growing recognition by the layman of the scope of instruments in other than church scenes. Definitely a highlight on the calendar was the appearance of YEHUDI MENUHIN, one of the world ' s eminent violin- ists. His was mu- sic in its richest sense, an expres- sion and interpre- tation of beauty. As a musician, he was therefore a student of inter- national culture, and played great compos itions which belong not to any one single nation, but to the whole world. Al- though his tech- nique was impec- cable, his great- ness lay in his in- terpretation. . . . That was his gift, and for one eve- ning, he shared it with his audience, so that through him, they gained insight and understanding of the language of music. YEHUDI MENUHIN While other lecturers brought us tales of adven- ture and experi- ences in man- made war or liu- man social prob- lems of Europe and Asia, DR. FRED M.

HE APOLLO BOYS ' CHOIR, a group of boys nine to liirteen years old, brought the charm and appeal of their ongs to an audience which was not only captivated bv them, ut amazed at the musicianship they displayed.

BALLET THEATKH Rounding it all off fittingly came tlie climax to the courses, the collegiate tribute to beauty, REDBUD CORONATION. From the four classes, 102 girls were chosen for both beautv and brains to act as princesses, and from them, one was selected queen. Ernestine Ashe was the queen for a night. as President Hubbard placed the crown on her head. In her honor, a special program was presented which incorporated symphonic music, song and dance. Tlie talent of the campus was brought to the footlights as Modern Dancers, Symphony Orchestra, Vocalaires and College Choir of over 150 voices participated. 255 mmrmmnmnxrrrr ELIZABETH WATERS DR. STANLEY JONES MRS. GRACE OVERTON DR. ELLIS THEY ALSO CAME Modern dancer and specialist in contemporary dance, Miss Elizabeth Waters spent five weeks on the TSCW campus during June and July of ' LK While practicing for a later concert in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she lived here and presented a program for the students and faculty. SmaU, young, and brunette, Miss Waters has a pleasing personality and a deep understanding of many types of people. She arrived in Denton to practice with Miss Mary Camiibell, composer and accompanist in the College ' s department of physical education, who was her accompanist on the Santa Fe concert. ? Iiss Waters has made a particular study of the Indian Dance and interpretation of the Southwest in modern dance. E. Stanley Jones, missionary to India and considered one of the greatest evangelists of today, spoke several times on the TSCW campus during Religious Emphasis Week. Dr. Jones is the author of twelve books which not only have been best sellers in the United States and England, but which have also been translated into about twenty foreign langiiages. Three times he has refused an election to the position of bishop, preferring to continue his work in the East after the war. This great religious leader | is a native of Clarksville, Maryland. Mrs. Grace Sloan Overton, widely known lecturer on family life and youtii problems, re-visited our campus under the sponsorship of the TSCW chapter of the Alpha Kappa Delta, national honorary sociology fraternity. Mrs. Overton is the author of several books dealing with subjects on per- sonality and adjustment and preparation for marriage and family life. Having spoken all over the United States, she is well-known for her common sense philosophy and down-to-earth quality. Adult consultant from the University of Texas, A. Saswell Ellis gave students hints on How to Study in his series of lectures in September. Dr. Ellis has lectured widely on planning effective study and methods of improving study. He emphasized, Living in itself is really nothing. Pigs live; dogs live. But human beings must make a life worth living. Youth was the keyword when the Boys ' Choir of St. John ' s Episcopal Church, Fort Worth, took part on tlie All-Col- lege vesper service in February. The Choir, di- rected by Miss Gwen James, BS ' H a former piano pupil of Harlan Pettit here, was organized in October, 1913, as a community project. Its membership includes thirty boys ranging in age from nine to thirteen years and representing eight religious faiths. Miss James received in- spiration for the Boys ' Choir when she served on the summer staff of the Apollo Boys ' Choir under the direction of Coleman Cooper in Fay- etteville, Arkansas. ST.

If aliead of lier lies a pleasant time, even the school days seem a bit gayer. To be alile to do just what she plea.ses for two whole days is something to look forward to; luit when it ' s her man that will make those days brighter, she ' s in ecstasy. And such a week-end it was that typical sophomore .Toy Davault bad with lieutenant friend Max Bacon. A vvaitcd-for luizz on a Friday afternoon summoned ■Joy to the living-room when Max arrived. Thev smiled greetings on the stairs; .she scrilililed her name in the sign-out book; and the week- end began. Standing in line with the rest of the evening crowd, they filled their trays in the I.owry dining-room. The miglity rjiite of all the caniinis build- ings, the P. (.)., was one of the first sld) s. Max was amused at the good- Uick tokens su]ierstitious girls have in their P.O. boxes to bring them letters. Next on tttc scliedulc was a les- son In pool for tile Tessie lass at the College Club.

TSCW students have done much tiiis year to further tlieir part in the war effort with entertainment heading the list of their activities. The boys at Camp Howze, Mc- Closky, Ashburn, and Harmon General Hospitals, Camp Hood, and the Ardmore x ir Base have agreed that the girls have what it takes when it comes to a song or dance, and always the smile that means so much. The boys that lie in the hospital wards remember the times the Musical Charm Grouj) visited tlicm to give an encouraging word and a song on the side. Songs by the Vocalaires and dance routines by the Caj erettes mean a lot to the soldier who lost his limbs in the Fight for Freedom. They ' ve all had their part in helping with morale through the USO dances at Camp Howze and the enter- tainment of men in the service while visiting the campus. ' A trij) to the College Club for a game of ping pong or pool followed by a shipwreck at the soda fountain bar adds a climax to an enjoyable day visiting the Botanical Gardens or playing a game of golf or maybe seeing a movie on Theater Row. Our class and all-college dances have added a reminiscent toucii. Of no less importance arc the many gifts that liave been sent to numerous hospitals and army camps. At Christmas time, gifts, gift wrappings, and pot plants were sent to the hospitals at Camp Howze. Plans are now being made by the Art Department and War Council to send paintings, nuisic, curtains, phonograjjli records, and photo- graphs to the Aleutians.

Many colorful and sensational paintings were exhibited and then sent to the servicemen in the Aleutians. The Color Drive for the Aleutians was begun when a Red Cross recreational therapist told the TSCW art classes about the drabness of the Aleutians where she had been stationed. She ex- plained that the sold iers were starved for bright colors in their quarters. Thus, the exclusive and elaborate drive for color began and grew until the entire campus became modern art conscious and pondered over the wealth of color and intensity of feeling behind the artist ' s brush. The artists were guides for the TSCW explorers in the exhibit rooms. Divided into two classes, design and oil painting, tlie exhil)it interpreted the feeling and emotions of the artists. Although the designers were striving solely for design and color sensations in their paintings, they achieved depth and plasticity. The galleries of the Art Building vibrated witli a strange rhy- thm, giving sensation of clashing cymbals, building up to the roaring of drums and softly toning down to tlie strings of a violin. Expressed here amoYig the paintings was a key to modernism. Several of the paintings created dramatic, mysterious, and exciting atmospheres, while others were calm, unified, and ga ve a feeling of serenity. These pictures were in direct contrast to some depicting a Fourth of July sensation, temptation, and fear. Some were interpreted with a religious feeling which was char- acterized by deep, contrasting emotions, with imagination, and balance. The pictures were painted from still life arrangements and the artists attempted to transpose their emotions from the still lifes to design and painting. Some were exceptionally well inter- preted into painting, while others indicated perhaps an uncertainty of feeling on the artist ' s part. By studying the paintings, one could discover various inter- pretations from the same still life. By soft pastel shades one offered an oriental feeling, while another of the same source but with swirls of vibrant colors expressed a feeling of turmoil or tornado. The exhibit showed deft handling of color, experiment in emotion, and expressions of movement, plasticity, and vibrant ap- peal. They blazed a new trail toward the understanding and interest of modern art and indicated promising futures for the artists. Southern trccn he(ir xtnivi e fruit. Blood on the leaves and blood on the roots. Black body sw-in( s in the Southern breeze, Stran( e Fruit hdui in; from Poplar trees. — I ewis Allan From this dark song, Lillian Smith took the title for her book, Strange Fruit. Written by a Southerner, it stirred up as much controversy, criticism and praise as Steinbeck ' s ' Grapes of Wrath. TSCW students read the story based on the old question of race discrimination, and were shaken from complacency. Dormitory room talk sessions were devoted to it, and hot arguments were bred by this small package of dynamite. [ The truth in it cannot be denied, but the truth is always un- comfortable, especially when it concerns a backyard problem, and is told by a neighbor. In writing it, Miss Smith pulled no punches. Certainly, this book is no rosy hued picture of romanticism, but is as coldly realistic as the earth, witl, the same savage pulse run-; ning through it. The characters are no products of imagination, ' but drawn from flesh and blood models, in dark, bold lines. There is Nonnie, the black girl wlio thought love could dissolve barriers, and Tracy, the white man wlio tried to forget that these barrier.s, raised l)y ' his ancestors, could not be crossed. Their tragedy is the main concern of the story, liut interwoven are other lives. Ed, Nonnie ' s brother, represents the modern negro who resents thCj imposed rank of inferiority, whose college education means noth-j ing in a Southern town. Then, there are Sam, the negro doctor,, who accepted his lot and did not fight because he was needed by . his people; and Tom Harris, the white man, who recogni .ed tlie tragedy, but could do nothing. These are the people, the puppets in Miss Smith ' s bitter drama. As such were they presented. The author wisely restrained from overemphasizing martyrdom or cruelty, but simply lu-ought her characters to life, showing them helplessly enmeshed in a tigli web spun from a loom of hatred and ignorance. Black man and white man, they fight, not each other, but traditions and modes. It is of this, in reality, that the book deals. What is worse, lynching or murder, when black and white skin is concerned? Is it just that the colored race should be tre ated, so ' The answer is not moralizing, for no solution is offered. It IS; simply the printing of a slice of life bleeding at the edges. In a few years, Stranffe FruU may be relegated to the slielf of ranks or it ' may be considered as an important factor in the .shapmg ot| future events.

It seems as though the majority of the high-ranking records were those that jilay anaiiid with heartstrings such as: I Don ' t Want to Love You. . lways, I Dream of You, I Didn ' t Know . liout ' ' ou, rime Waits for No One, There Goes That Song . gaiii, An Hour Never Passes, Together, Til Then, ■■ I ' ou . lways Hurt the One You I.ove, and many others.

There have been stories aliout e ery branch of the service from the Hiers to the de]iendable old infantry man, including realistic and unbelievable as well as fantastic and funny stories. America ' s enemies have been introduced through fiction then with the use of actual atroslty films. Now, after the war movies are slipjiing into the endless line of films. One of the most recent in this category is ' Be Seeinij Ynu starring t ' .inger Uogers and J( sei)h Cotten which TSCW girls enjoyed through tears as well as laughter. . n outstanding feature of the movies lately has been the use of one particular song as background imisic and as the theme of till- story. This additional flavor was first a hit with the girls about two years ago when As Time Cioes By from the movie ' „.i(ihlinic(i became very ])o]iular. This year ' s crop of movies jiro- duced a long list of such theamatic material. Laura from the movie of the same name is weird and enchanting in its melody and holds a kind of mystery about it as did the movie. Dana , ndrews and Gene Tierny were starred. Let the Rest of the World Go By was only one of a long list of ballads that Dick Haymos sang in Irhli lii ex Arc Siiillliif but it soon became one of TSCW ' s favorites, especially for assembly singing. The tune I ' ll Be Seeing ■ ' ou jiroved very excellent background music for the movie of the same name, as did The ' ery Thought of You. One of the t thrilling jiroductions was the jiresentation of the life of ( hopin entitled A Siiii to Remember. This tribute to music nostalgia had a story, although exciting and beautifully filmed in technicolor, that was a little exaggerated; but the ])iano composi- tions, as recorded by Jose Iturbe, were magnificently executed. Through the years the students will probably remember the mystery that enveloped The Thin Man Comes Home and Womiiu III The iVindoiv, the comedy that highlighted The I ' rince.is and the I ' iriile and Between Two U ' omen. the thrilling Whie ed Virtori). the adventurous Frenehimin ' K Creek, the sincerity of Keiis of the Kbuidom. and the drama of A Tree drow.t in Brookli ii and Since You Went Airoi).

This year ' s program of special events began with tlie annual Carnival which included everything from fortune-tellers, the fat lady, to many side shows for tlic amusement of the spectators. This was followed by the| traditional Lantern Parade which was held in collaboration with the Student Advisory Council. Elmer, oh, Elmer, where are you? was the familiar cry which was heard at the Corn Huskin ' Bee. The Bee was a costume party, and students came dressed as every-, thing from hayseeds to city-.slickers. Along with this there were many girls who had their first opportunity to try their skill at folk dancing, corn huskin ' , hog caUing, and even at drinking apple cider. With the sounds of jingle-bells coming near and mis- tletoe decorating the Recreation Room, Santa Claus ush- ered tlie Yuletide spirit to a climax at the Christmas party. Saint Valentine ' s Day found its place in this year ' s program in the form of an Adamless Dance. A large crowd danced to tlie music of the Serenaders.

A desire to learn to use the bow and arrow need not be thwarted. The archery ranjje with ten tarf;ets and s]iace for shootinfr nji to 1(10 yards provides an excellent facility for fun and recreation. An annual trip to the Texa.s Open and Collegiate Tournament is offered to those interested in badminton. A popular s]iort, bad- minton can be participated in by all students. Racquets are fur- nished by the Collcfie, liut brinp: your own shuttlecocks. Arthur Murray students ha c nothinf, ' on Tessies.

The Heereation lioom ilownstairs contributes to dancinir for jiractice or fun. Xo men, maybe, but nmsic by the juke box, and a smooth dance floor with the aid of the roonuuate help to im|)rove the danciufr. Inter-dorm and inter-class competition in tournaments make basketball a pleasant exercise as well as recreation. Any who are interested in playing may join a dormitory or class team where rivalry offers an exciting basketball season. A glamorous background dating from days of our ancestors, fencing challenges coordination and skill. Through the fencing classes you have the opjiortunity to learn the art of this 17th cen- tury sport. With an 11-hole golf cour.se on the campus, no need for you to be in the dark of the expression tee off. The golf course meets all requirements of a .standard course. So ]io|)ular has it - become that not only students and faculty members, but service- men as well, use this recreational facility. Texa.s A M vs. Texas U. No, not football, but the traditional hockey game on Thank.sgiving Day prophecies the .score of the gridiron game. Fun for those who enjoy hockey is not limited with the extensive activity of both the hockey club and classes. Horseback riding for fun or skill may be obtained with the facility provided here. A pair of bluejeans and the ability to resist soreness are the only prerequisites. The .stable with jilenty of horses is located on the northeast end of the cam]nis. When the Daniel Boone spirit o erpowers, the perfect spot for a w.ek-end is tlu ' Lake Dallas cabin. Here is found fun in steak frys, sunrise breakfasts, or even possum bunts where stranger things than possums end u]) in the bag. HiHe shooting, held in the liasemcnt of Houston Hall, teaches skill, markmanship and ]irovides fun. Each year members of the Rifle Shooting club couqiete with A M, XT.VC, and the Texa-s State Guard.

One of the most jjoindar sjiorts with the students, swinuning offers year- ' round fun. . lthougb a , ' easonal activity, swimming continues throughout the year with the u.se of both indoor and outdoor pools, located in the gymnasium and behind the U. B. resjiectively. The Ai|uatics cluli sponsors s]ilash parties and teaches strokes, dives, and formation and s])eed swimming. ' I ' hc Inion Building, better known as the V. B., is the hub of student recreation. Here are found the more moderate forms of ]ilay, such as ping pong, miniature bowling, ])Ool, and table gaiues, not to mention the soda fountain. With plenty of courts on the campus, tennis may be par- tici|iated in by a large number of students. So, if you don ' t mind chasing balls, can stand stiff nuiscles, and can put up with the wind knocking your ball in the wrong direction, then tennis is the game for } ou. lUrfHJjyM ' IMlJCM T sew girls have a new greeting when they meet away from the College. It ' s not i only, Oil, I went to TSCW, too, but. Say, j and (lid you go to Saltillo? For witli more students each year attending, and still more turned down for lack of room, the Saltillo Suunner School of Sl)anisli has become as real a part of tlie TSCW campus as tiie Little Chapel. What is this charm of Saltillo that draws students each ,Iuly and fastens itself in their memories, so that they spend the next ; ' ear talking about it to their roommates, and wait- ino- for summer to hurry bringing another visit to Mexico ? The city is small with a typi- cal crosscut of the Mexican populate. The girls who have been there will tell you about its ideal climate, that it is the center of cul- ture for northern Mexico. Then they will state emphatically tliat the sky is bluer than any they ' ve seen. They will have a far-away look wlien they describe the mountains seen in the distance beyond the Cathedral on the square. niTILLO And till y ' ll liii li wlun tlit-y tell you iif (iiu; oC the Midili ' ii rains tiiat caunlit tiiem giiiiii; t(i tdwn. .o that tiny had to Ixiard a tunii - little liijs that speeded thnmnh the eily. licnikiiii; at interseetidiis instead of st(i]i|)ing.

Right: Senioritas Amelia Vitela and Amparo Escobedo and Miss Keesee acquaint students with Latin American periodicals. R ESIDENTS of La Casa Espanola, a summertime transfer mation of the dormitory otherwise known as Travis Hall, study the Spanish language midst a colorful Latin atmosphere which also acquaints them witli the customs and culture of the Spanish speaking nations. Upon enter ing La Casa Espanola, the nineteen workshop and regular students enrolled last summer signed pledges to speak only Spanish while in the house. Organized like a regular dormitory except for the use of the Spanisli customs, the prevailing Spanish atmosphere includes Mexican pottery adorning the mantle, and songs and music of Mexico on the piano. Mexi can lamps and baskets as well as sombreros and other pieces decorate botli the game room and the living room. Two pictures on the walls are U Rivera, most important present day Latin American artist. A distinct feature of La Casa Espanola is its game room. Here tli. students can get together at any time to play all kinds of games-bul always in Spanish. Giving them further practice in composing and speak- ing Spanish, in addition to conversation, was tlieir jiarticipation in regu- lar nightly programs comprised of Spanish dancing, singing, stories, and games. Miss Elizabeth Keesee, instructor in tlie foreign language departmentj was director of the hall last sun,mer. assisted by two teachers froir Saltillo, Mexico. Charm Week Accentuate the Posture, the theme of the posture con- test, added finishing touches to a week accenting charm and self-development. For one week students became charm conscious and concentrated upon becoming lovely, graceful, and beautiful. To possess the criteria for loveliness, charm, a nd per- sonality, various programs for the improvement and care or posture, clothes, hair, and the correct use of cosmetics were sponsored by tlie home economics and physical education departments. An assembly jjrogram was given in which |)osture prob- lems were demonstrated, and a clinic was held for the im- provement of tliese problems. Further suggestions on how to be cliarniing were illustrated by lectures and demonstra- tions on jjroper dress for the College student. Students learned the correct hair styles for round faces and long faces, lieart- sliaped faces and square faces, and went back to the dorms experimenting on roommates and themselves. DeuKmstrating on blondes, brunettes, and redheads, a representative from a cosmetic distributor gave lectures on the art of make-up. Katherine Reeve, soi)homore. |)ietured on tlie right, was winner of tlu ' [Kisture contest this year. Other winners were Gloria Jackson, freshman, second place winner; and Bettye Jo Farris, senior, third ]5lace winner. The contestants were selected from a group cliosen in tlie dormitories. The girls were judged for posture while sitting, standing, ascending and descending the stairs in bathing suits, scliool clotiies, and afternoon dress. As a tribute to the most charming students on the TSCW campus the Redbud Festival honored those chosen as prin- cesses, naming them as possessive of the qualities of the ideal TSCW girl. 273 ' ' -MEUIUI nilJL ' IM MATSLER (ilEASflS CflTTUE by iirnve Kobinson As the clock ' s alarm rings audibly through the upstairs, sleepy girls awake to the sharp realization they are not in a dormitory, but a home management house at TSCW. It is a house conducted as a private home, bringing to- gether senior home economics students not to learn just prac- tical use of skills and standardized equipment, but to learn more a way of life of the home, its aims and purposes, as- pirations and values, and faith in the importance of luunan relations. Gleason Cottage is an example nine-room house on Bell Avenue. Its furnishings and equipment equal those in a mod- ern home. Bralley, an eight-room house, affords many of the same training conveniences including a nursery for a small child. After each girl dresses in the morning, she makes lier bed and hurries to a task that behooves her title. The hostess may get the morning paper, turn on the lights downstairs, anJ smile when one of the girls glares a what ' s good about tlie morning look at her. The cooks rush to the kitchen to pre- pare breakfast, and others busy themselves with duties necessary to the household. There is hardly a minute to spare from the sound of the alarm, through the morn ing meal to the first class bell. During the day, between or after classes, the homemakers dili.o-entlv plan and work together to insure smooth opera- tion of i?he house. Two girls may catch the Goose to mar- ket, equipped with ration books, grocery list, budget plan, and trained critical eves. Meals are planned and served sim-| plv with low cost days balancing roast chicken days and thereby equaling the food cost per person in the dormitory. Others mav vacuum clean the house, tiglitcn a screw m the stove door, empty the garbage, wash the dish cloths, or peel the potatoes. Occasionally, a plumber or repair man lias to be called in, but the girls have learned that labor is one of the wartime shortages. They decide the time of meals, working group titles, num ber of guests, and other governing problems in a house meet- ino- held once a week with the supervisor. ° Special projects are undertaken during the eight-week period. In Gleason, a garden is planted adding nutritional value to the meals and decreasing the cost, and a frozen ood h,cker is maintained downtown for surplus. The homemakers must decide wlien curtains and otlicr furnishings should be replaced and select materials. Friends and relatives, usually surprise visitors, inaiie un most of the guest list these days so that few faculty mem-l bers and students can be invited in for dinner. Gradually, as the group discovers the concept, ideas, ■ind values of their course, and learn to work efficiently t,.getlier, the time lias come to move out. They will remem- ber not onlv the houseliold practices and skills, but the humaii relationships tiiat cannot be kept apart in a home in wlnt ' tlie skills and practices are to be exercised. 274 m LITTLE m mmmm TSCW lias its own Little Red ScliDollioiise where Tes- sie learns to teach by teaching. Fountains that small tykes can reach without heliJ have replaced the water bucket and drinking cup of yesterday, and the furniture is made to fit the students instead of the hff Hazel Dednion tlie next county or state, and a one-thousand-mile trip is not a long, long journey, but a three-hour hop to these small air-minded. war-minded citizens of I.Qki. TSC ' V ' s Little Red .Schoolhouse lias come a long way from those of the 192() ' s or even 193() ' s, but so has the TSCW pupils being made to fit the furniture. There is a sejiarate student, and she will leave this Red Schoolhouse to help room for each grade instead of one or two rooms fur every- build those for the ehildreii of IJUid ' s and ]!)7() ' s. one, and there is no wood or coal furnace in the corner, but tile building is kept at an even tem])erature in the winter. In this Red Selioolliouse, the teacher learns to teach more than just the three R ' s. Of course, these old essentials are not neglected, but they are taught in a ditferent, easier way than the students ' jiarents learned them, and tluv are su])- |)lemented by many more interesting, worthwhile things. . Lal)s and pictures on the walls are very different from the kind that Tessie looked at when she was in grammar school, for our Red School is a school at war. .Ma])s show battle areas and what is happening to ])eoi)le wlio li e there. Pictures tell who our allies are. how they look, how they live, and why they are our allies.

Designated as tudent Council, these meetings are jire- ded over by the president of the stu- snt body, assisted by tlic vice-presi- int and secretary of the College Gov- •nment Association.

Dr. I,. H. Hubbard, i)resident of TSCW ' , has expressed his view of Col- lege Government by saying. In the years that I have been at TSCW I have develo])ed more and more faith in student partiei|)ation, in student government, and in the control of stu- dents by themselves. Although this plan is full of inadequacies and ditHculties, it is by far better than anything else. The introduction of the same sort of self-government system among the peoples of tin. various nations is the onlv way I can see to get even a reasonable amount of order and peace in the world.

G-Ly • K 3 4. U, and eagerly snatched a white envelope or a V-letter from the box before rushing out the door onto the sidewalk. Happy, chattering, teasing, and fussing about everything, worrying about nothing at the moment, collegiate, we trudged in our sloppy moccasins and smudged saddle shoes along the sidewalk which curved around the corner of Stoddard. Did you hear tlie news? I turned my head toward the shout of a familiar voice in the vicmity of the Journalism Building, and there was Lee, leaning out of the window of the annual office, waving to attract my attention. I lifted my right hand carelessly to return the signal . . . wonder what the news was . . . maybe a scoop on the club elections. Surely haven ' t, Lee; what ' s up? She did not return my smile; but answered simply, President Roosevelt is dead. No! !!!! ! tried to deny it with my lips, Imt it lodged, lilocked by the cold steel lump that was suddenly in my throat. I uuist have misunder- stood. It couldn ' t be this! What did you say? The words came out in a queer monotonous voice I should never have recognized as mine. The President is dead. Her soft voice had an inescapable finality m its tone. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Warm Springs, Georgia. I heard it over the radio. I turned without a word and ran to the girl I had been walkmg and joking with . . . Was it a few minutes or a year ago that we had been so carefree? . Margaret Anne, did you hear! President Roosevelt is dead I I exclamied almost hysterically. Her laugh vanished even as if she had replaced a smil- ing mask with a grief-stricken one. Dear God in Heaven, what will we do now ' The girl behind us gasped and unconsciously let her V-letter flutter to the damp ground. The President dead . . . dead, she repeated slowly as if trying to convince herself. I broke into a run, breathlessly reached the back entrance of Bracken- ridge and hurried to the telephone booth to try to find my roommate. A girl, whom I recognized as one living on the fourth floor, came out of the booth. Her eyes were red, her cheeks damp. I don ' t think you can get the operator. I ' ve been holding the line for fifteen minutes. I guess e% ' eryone is trying to call. Opening the door into the living room, I looked in. There was not the often-heard sound of a blues song from someone draped over the piano or the maddening rhythm of boogie-woogie. The living room was quiet except for the deep voice of the radio announcer, The President planned to spend another week at Warm Springs before preparing for the International Con- ference at San Francisco. Three girls sat on the divan; one leaned against the radiator; others were on the rug. The house director and a hostess joined the group. Eyes met, but no one smiled; no one spoke. Everything was silent except the inevitable sound of the announcer, . . . the greatest tragedy to our nation. Going back down the hall, I missed not a word of the conuiientary, for radios were turned up. Doors had been left open in haste. Here a girl sat A D T? T T 19 immovalile before her typewriter, the last word unfinished. Another kneeled rlVl-L l j in front of a low table and dialed her miniature radio. The girls across the hall left their bridge cards neglected; another screwed her fountain pen toji 1 Q ZL S on and left the letter she was writing.

This is a story I shouldn ' t like to write for anyone. These were the same girls wli i two hours ago were laughing and gay, their silly remarks and giggles floating down the hall. Typical college girls, they might have been called, scatterbrained as can be; never a serious tliought in their heads. Feeling the atmosphere of mourning, I reflected: the person who says college girls can ' t feel deeply and seriously is the person who does not know us. We shall never forget April 12, 194..5.

Even then, though, I was thinkinjj; of when I could go to college. College seemed a far away citadel, a |)lace where I would go in the dim tomorrow, when I would be very old. Now I am here at TSC ' ' and the time has been so siiort. It ' s been a time tilled witii pleasant memories, and a few un|)leasant ones. Looking backward those years of grammar scliool and high school seem lia))py ones; looking forward the remainder of college and those years that lie bevond have a pleasant hue also. I guess the years when one goes to school .are the onlv ones that can be remembered of youth. Mv niemorv doesn ' t stretcji much further than that day in Sejjtember when I set out for my momentous fir st day at school. I had a briglit red tablet, and big green pencil, and a starclied yellow dress, and oh, I was so ha])py I could go to scliool at last. For seven years I struggled with alphabets and arithmetic and art. witli geogra])iiy and grannnar. Tliere was fun, too, after school, when the neighborhood kids jjlayed baseball in the vacant lot across the street. Then one day, all of a sudden it seemed, I was a seventh grader, and I ste])i)ed uj) on the platform and they gave nie a little slip of paper that said I was a graduate. High school was a great wide world witli millions of strange faces that soon resolved into familiar friends and ac- (|uaintances. High school was studying; high school was fun. There were football games in the tangv fall air; there was basketball in the overheated gynniasium ; and there was the feel of my tennis ractiuet driving a ball in the spring tennis finals. High school was packing Christmas boxes for the needv ; it was late rehearsals for the class play. It was sororities, and dances, and my first orchid. It was the war and Pearl Har- bor, and the older crowd going off to war. It was graduation gifts, invitations, Bacculaureate and cajjs and gowns in the hot June weather. It was a scroll of white ])aper and thank- vou notes. Whi it was still August, I began to haunt tlie stores. and .Mother and I read and planned for what tlie college girl would wear that fall. And I got white envelopes with red let- ters that said TSCW and told me what to do and how to act on those first days. I slii|)ped my trunks and locked my bags and gazed about my room. ' itli a lump in mv throat. I came to the red brick dorm that was my home for the year. I met my roonnnate who talked like a Yankee and had a heart as big as all outtloors. We were awed, we were scared bv the bigness of the place; and we felt so all alone as we started up dormitory row (though we didn ' t know to call it that then). We had our catalogues, check books, room assignment cards, and fountain jiens. People were friendly and helped so much. - dragged wearily back to the dorm with an armload of books and a feeling th.at we belonged even if we didn ' t know our way around yet. But we learned and thereu|jon became (juite superior, for we were full-Hedged TSCWites. College is a great many things, just as the years that have gone before have been. It is eight-fifteen ' s and that afternoon lab. It is eating breakfast with our eves half shut in the grey of early morning. College is Saturday night picture shows and a rare date with an Aggie. It ' s cokes and hamburgers at the drug store after missing dinner. It ' s nights of hard study in the library. It ' s dorm feasts and sleeping late on Sunday morning. College is hypnotists .md ballet dancers. It ' s the class dances and the beauty of Redbud I ane. It ' s the long climb to the fourth Hoor of the Ad Building, and it ' s the calm in- s])iration of the Little Chajx-l. TSC ' is jilaces. things, fac- ulty, and students. It ' s a lot of memories, new friendshi]) , fresh knowledge. College is the link between the past of childhood and adolescence and the future of womanhood. We can not step witli one great stride from yesterday into tomorrow without a today. College is a bridge that leads into the future, a bridge of laughter and sorrow that liglits the way to the unknown tomorrow. 281 After College After college — marri- a2;e. A few years ago that would have been a sim- ple, easily believed state- ment; simply given, sim- ply accepted. Today, how- ever, it is not such a sim- ple thing as it sounds, be- cause in order for a mar- riage ceremony to take place properly there must be both a bride and a o-room. In this case — as in many others so very like it — an ocean, a chan- nel, and tliousands of BETTY JANE WHEAT ,„iles of land lie between the would-be bride and her intended groom. So, I must say after college — marriage, someday. But I hold hope liigh in my heart. Although there is a bitter thing called war blasting through the sector that bears that somewhat intangible address Somew here in France, there is a faith that tells me he shall return. If I just close my eyes I ' ll see it all now . . . the house we ' ll build . . . the fireplace with the deep chairs before it After college — a career. Nineteen, and graduation drawing near. Cap and gown and sheepskin, and no longer a sheltered fetus on a campus. Twenty, and a whole new world challenging me, waiting for me to draw my own geography. I have dreams, and hoi es, and doubts of the lines in that map, yes, and plans. Blithely, I can say after May 81, I will get a job, share an apartment, meet and marry a husband, send my children to Sunday School, play bridge, and collect social security. Ordinary words of an ordinary life. That ' s what I want, and that ' s what I expect college to have given me — the ability and capacity to enjoy a good life. To read, to understand, to know my world. But for tlie present — a job. Something in journalism, of course. A daily newspaper in a Texas town, me at a copy desk in casual clothes, with a blue pencil and typewriter, preparing routine or exciting news for businessmen to scan at the breakfast table, schoolchildren to discuss for current events. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, South America, beau- tiful places to dream about, impractical to plan for. There ' s life enough in Texas for me. No, not another native brag. I want to watch and help the Southwest grow. A Mr. White of Emporia, a man with printer ' s ink for blood and a love for the homefolks, stayed in Kansas and they made him great. Texas can have even more to offer. Jane Arden and Torchy Blaine — I realize that they are exaggerated caricatures of a popular misconception. I do not expect my Career to be breathtaking or dangerous. I do ex- pect hard work, novelty, little money, and some satisfaction. . . . the doorbell ringing in the evenings telling us that in a moment friends will come crowding into the hall. Our house . . . the housQ we ' ll have breakfast in . . . Sunday . . . some- da} ' . But be that as it may, the dream house can be only a cradle for holding the marriage itself. For, first of all, I fully believe that in order for a marriage to be a lasting one it must be based on a love firmly rooted in character and mutual respect. It surely is an art. And like any other art will take time and perseverance for the goals of happi- ness and fulfillment to be gained. Like piano-playing or painting it will require skill, and skill comes only from long practice. It will ask for a great deal of patience and love and understanding, a great deal of joy and pain, darkness and light, to bring it to maturity. Happiness is no accident. It comes from labor, sacrifice, an inward integrity. It is not a gift bestowed, but a result achieved. These things I believe. I can ' t write a story. I can only say such things as this: that even though he and his buddies are going through a baptism of fire, I ' d rather be with him than waiting for him. Of course, that being as impossible as it is, I shall take my place in an industry that is crying for workers to fill its labor shortage, and there do ray bit to see him safely home. Until the day of his returning we have only this: in our hearts an appointment . . . for Tomorrow. I do expect new lines to develop — a local column, special features, different jobs with a change of scenery. Nothing to tie me down, nothing to keep me from meeting new peo- ple, from learning new things to do, from work- ing things out in my own way. When I know what I ' m talking about, not now, I ' d like to write short stories, a novel. The kind where the read- „, , ,, ,1 tl,i,iL-« JOAN O ' BRIEN er breathes and thinks with the characters, clear like Steinbeck or Maugham, clean and not sordid, realistic. I want to write most of all, to share in forming even a small fraction of a public attitude. I want to prove that the government did not misplace its confidence when it demanded that I stay the war out in college, that I may be used m the rebuilding to take place in the next decade. Nothing world shaking, nothing startling. A career witli lower case letters. But one to be proud of. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years from now, I can say I have realized my purpose. That ' s the way it will have to be. 282 What? tht ' ir tiiff0 ' r4 nt gttuns fttr tin- ftlturo. After college — a career for nie. Not a career in a inan ' .s fielil to slinw liiiii tliat a woman ' s aliilities .•ire eoni])arahle to lii.s, nor a career based on selfish gain ; but a career in a field for women, based on a need iiaramount in the lives of all jteojile. I do not assert that no woman should enter a man ' s field. I do feel, however, that the true test of a woman ' s ca])aeitv lies in her ability to measure up to other women. The field I liave chosen is comparatively new. Its possi- bilities are many and its rewards exhilaratinii. I speak of the field of Dietetics. The world is beeominu- niore and more conscious of the dependenev of its jjcople u])on the food they eat for buoyant, vigorous health, and protection against ill- ness and disease. Only in recent years has science discovered constituents in food which, through intelligent consumption bv our ])eoi)le, might very well help produce a people of wondrous vitality, callable of unprecedented achievements and unbelievable longevity. Nutrition has, in a few short years, become a science within itself. Main ' hospitals .iiiproxed by the American Dietetics Kl.KAXOH WII.l.IA.M.S Association ott ' er invaluable op])ortunities for college grad- uates to gain experience in hospital dietetics. The interne- ships Last one year, at the end of which time the student becomes a member of the American Dietetics Association and is well qualified to assume resiionsibilities as a dietitian in a hospital, college dormitory, or eonuncreial food unit. I hardly know what to expect to encounter during my interneshi]). I think I will be a little frightened at first at the innncnsity of the hospital and confusing maze of tasks requiring such machine-like jjrecision. Sometimes the atmos- phere pervading the sickrooms will become deiiressing and the anxiety characterizing the beginning of each new task will be a nervous strain. Young men will insist on steaks when tlie doi ' tor has strictly forbiilden them, and little chil- dren will cry for cookies and candy. The work will be hard, and often at the end I shall probably wish to resign mvself to sheer exhaustion. But there will be a day when a little boy will triumphantly announce that now he likes carrots, and there will be nice old ladies who will thank me for ar- ranging their trays so attractively. These are mv visions of my f uture work. It will be interesting to note the accuracy of them in years to come. Dietetics is a new field, .1 i)romising field full of hopes for a better day for mankind. It demands of its aspirants a rugged constitution, an understanding of people, great pa- tience, accuracy, and a definite sense of humor. I am entering my chosen jirofession with a feeling that my work is worth- while and with the assurance that if the way to a man ' s heart is through his stomach, then 1 am well qualified. After college — more education. A Bachelor of Arts de- gree in English from Texas State College for Women will not satisfy my desire for education. The four years I have had in college have only introduced me to many interesting fields of work, and I am more than anxious to continue round- ing out my education. My ]jlaiis for the future, therefore, include work at some large eastern uni ersity. 1 want to live in the East, learn liow Easterners think. Jilay, and work. Mostly. I want to study — study so hard that I feel like a true scholar. Since my major subject has been English. I plan to contiime this course of study with more work in literature and composi- tion. But books will not be the sole source of my education. Theatres, concert halls, nniseums, libraries — these will be the supplements. More degrees hold no interest for me; so I ' ll not work tor a degree this time. I want to t.ike the courses that 1 really am interested in rather than to concern myself with I fulfilling the requirements for a degree. I do not wish to specialize too much in any (uu- field. Rather, I would risk knowing less about one field of culture in order to studv in I the tempting realms of art and nuisic as well as my first love — literature. After the ))revailing intern.ational m.-dad ' li.-is been checked. I ho])e to fulfill mv de- sire to travel, first abroad, and then in our Western Hemis])here. It has been said many times that tra- vel is an education in it- self, and no amount of travel that I may ever do will completely satisfy mv curiosities. ' .- i ' P m h d DOKOTHY 1 ' I :HKIXS Education, life in the East, travel abroad — those are but jire requisites to my real ambition, writ- ing. ' ithout a varied background and rich ex- perience, I feel utterly unequi]jped. I don ' t anticijjatc rivaling Poe for his short stories. Shelley for his poetry, or Shakesijcare for his ))lays. I may never turn out even one best selling novel, but I ' m going to ha e a lot of fun trying! I know it will t.ake hard work and study, but tli.-it ' s what I want. So if you ' re in the Big Town in the not-too-far-ott ' future, look me up . . . in a book. 283 cJ: ime=(c Iiape[=lll4lie= ' i OOcis L, Qflargarzia ffaric NCE, it belonged only to one man, President L. H. Hub- bard, for it was his dream. Then, nearly six years ago, the dream materialized, and now it belongs to thousands. It has become the setting for the realization of otlier dreams — weddings in tlie Little Chapel-in-the-Woods. Since its construction and dedication in 1939, attended by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, it has become something of a tradition for daughters of this college to begin their new life in the Chapel. Students, exes, even members of the fac- ulty, are all attracted to it, drawn perhaps because it is associated with a happy phase of life, or because its sim- plicity and atmosphere of peace is something they wish to carry with them. At any rate, the number of Little Chapel weddings has passed the 181 mark. Even before completion, letters began coming in to President Hubbard, asking for permission to use the Chapel. Four weddings took place before the pews, altar furnishings and windows were in- stalled. The first bride was Esther Webb, BS ' 36, who in September, 1939, was married to John A. Houseman. Quick in succession came other marriages; and in 19 ' •3 Dorothy Headlee, BS ' 1-i, and Lt. Wayne E. Swick were the one hundredth couple to be married in what came to be known as the Gretna Green of the Southwest. What is there about this small Texas stone constructed chapel that endears it? It is not elaborately decorated, nor presumptuous in appearance — in fact, simplicity is its key- note. Yet, it has become a symbol to the student, because she knows it was built for her, with the work of others like her going into its making. Miss Dorothy A. LaSelle, of the Art Department, made an extended trip over Germany, France and Italy, studying in preparation for the building of the Little Chapel. She brought back her knowledge to this cam- pus ; and, under her supervision, the students designed and built all that was used.

Everywhere on the campus, in the din- ing rooms, in the dorm rooms, in the class room, is an ever-increas- ing tempo of excitement. Soon more substantial evidence of the coming event becomes visible. Merry red wreaths and miniature Christmas trees sprout in dorm rooms, tinkling sdver bells and gay bows adorn individual doors, and we hum bits of White Christmas and I ' ll Be Home for Christmas under our breath on the way to class. Dorm closets whose contents have been wide open to both roommates all fdl. suddenly take on a smilingly secretive atmos- phere, guarding antagonizingly well the mysterious bundles and packages allotted to them. j By this time the dormitories and other campus organizations are reaching out of their iwn individual groups to buy and wrap presents for the wounded veterans at Camp Howze and contrib- ute for soldier kits to be sent overseas by the Red Cross.

It was well worth the trouble of delv- ing into the trunk for a white dress. ■ Everyone tries not to notice it, but eventually it creeps out That tingly sort of sensation up and down our spines, when we see the lighted trees and wreaths in windows of the local homes at night, isn ' t appendicitis. Don ' t kid yourself. Tessie, its just plain homesickness and afflicts the cynical as well as the sentimental. By nou; the epidemic has spread, and Christmas trees, bells, and wreaths appear in other buildings on the campus. It ' s quiet- ing, somehow, to pause for a few minutes at midday around the rotunda in the Ad Budding and sing a few carols. Remember when we were freshmen and first heard the chimes in the Uttle-Chapel-inthe-Woods? And houf they pealed oul; the immortal cards at dusk each day of the last week before holi- days?

It all started when the Tessie and Aggie annual staffs had a gay ole week-end party at the college cabin, er, well, cabins at Lake Dallas, the first week-end after Xmas holi- days. About twenty of us rode out there as regally as is pos- sible in an armoured car, which can out-jeep any jeep any- where. After a bit of playful frolic in which we went boat- riding (we found out later the boats were supposed to have the open jjart up), and the caretaker ' s keys decided to sink in the drink, we built a big fire in the main cabin (they later made us build it back— the cabin, I mean) and roasted, er fried, er broiled, ohhh — ! COOKED steaks that didn ' t jump up when we cried Hi, Yo, Silver! (for a change). We then amused ourselves for a few hours with such childish pranks as playing bridge, and poker (I lost three toothpicks. That just goes to prove what they say about starv- ing journali-sts!), and danced to the melodic strains of Lau- rence Tibbett singing Don ' t Fence Me In on the Hit Parade ... (we all agreed that Frankie could fence Tibbett in any- place, anytime, or anywhere). The radio, possessing heap much character, as do all other hard-to-get things now, acted temperamental and wouldn ' t play unless someone was hold- ing it. So as the couples danced, they took turns totin ' it along with their partner. When it got time for ' possums to come out — about 11 :;■!() —we loaded on the back of a truck and started on the ' pos- sum hunt. We decided there and then that we liked that kind of a ' possum hunt, night not TOO cold, truck not TOO Ao ordinnry Putty Tat ' bumpy (am I kiddin ' ?), and date not TOO much under 18. But we were doublecrossed ! That was not the ' possum hunt. After we rode for a while, we stopped and added three col- ored guides and dogs (the dogs were different colors, though) ! and we started on the hunt — on foot! It ' s hard to believe now, but we still wonder how we sur- vived crawling under and over barbed wire fences (and we sang Don ' t Fence Me In, but they didn ' t take the hint), wad- ing ' hrough creek-beds with the constituency of mashed pota- toes (in our roommates ' loafers and blue jeans), and plunging through super dense underbrush in almost total darkness after we got separated from the guides and were left with only one feeble flashlight. Frank Buck had nothing on us— there ' s mountain lions in them thar hills! (Wolves, too, that night!) Pretty soon we sa w the coziest little grove that looked like it would just love to have a campfire under it. So we did. We sang (and the wild animals enjoyed it so much they joined in, too), and told jokes (nice ones— the chaperones were present), ' and discussed the U. S. foreign policy (how- ever, now I wouldn ' t bet on how many heard much of the discussion). Our achin ' feet rested, and our courage regained, we continued the hunt; and soon the hounds led us to a clump of bushes under a large tree. That was where the ' possum was supposed to be. It was supposed to run up the tree, and we were to send our dates up after it. Well, I had never seen a ' possum, and J don ' t think I saw one then ! A ' possum isn ' t a black little animal with a long furry: tail with a white stripe from tip to tip, is it? If it is, thisj one sure did need a tip from his best friends. BeeeOoooo!! Anyway, they shot it, and a few years later we found; our way back to the truck. I guess my roommate ' s navigation: hadn ' t taught me much— according to my calculations, we were in the third seat on the fourth row from the front at Madison Square Garden in New York. Could I be a little off??? We then took some pictures of us with P. Boyd holding the skunk. (It wasn ' t a ' possum after all). We couldn ' t get near the pore lil chile for nigh on to three hours, and later she discovered she had her toothbrush in her pocket! tch, tch, B. B. !

Very well, if you feel safer with it open; but it isn ' t really open. All those people you see out there— they don ' t know you ' re here. They ' re only waiting, each in his turn, until I choose to call him. Did you notice them as you came in? You see, you didn ' t have to sit out there and wait your turn among them. You are rather spec- ial. You should feel privileged to be received and welcomed without an appointment. Few ever get that chance. Some of the poor creatures in that room have been waiting for years. Ah, but you— yes, you ' re here at last. It ' s good to look at you. I need not ask whom you ' ve come to see. I know. You ' ve been hoping and struggling to see him for sometime. He ' s an admirable boy, one of the noblest I ' ve seen in all Time. Lucky you were, very lucky! There ' s no need to ask you, either, to whom you ' ve brought these flowers. Gardenias! The creamy whiteness of them among their green leaves— they were always his favorites. I knew that. too. Ah. yes, and they still have the morning dewdrops upon them. Where, my dear, did you ever find them so lovely as these? Foolish of me to ask. You must have picked them fresh from their stems as you came up— the huge ones just inside the last gate. You wanted the most beautiful ones for him. And they are. I see you ' re wearing green this morning. You do look lovely in that emerald tone and with that frill filming youi throat. Green— that was his favorite color, too. One can hardly blame him. He loved it as a background for yoiu vivid red hair. There, I ' ll not keep you longer. You ' re impatient to see him. Come. Come with me. You say you did not notice those waiting in the outei room as you came in? You should have, my dear. There are many that you know. You would have seen several fa miliar faces. Come, let us look at them closely. Here— here is Cleeta. She is fond of you— and Sonja- and there, there is your mother. Come, dear, do not lag so There ' ll be time enough yet for looking back. Let us go on Look closely. Do you see no one else you know? Then, follow the direction of my glance, far down th( line in this vast corridor. There— do you see? Not yet? Come a few steps farther. Strain your eyes. Look closely Yes, my dear. It is he. He ' s there, waiting, far, far dowi the line. That sorrow shading his face isn ' t for you— yet He hasn ' t heard about you. It will be a long time before h. does; but he ' s thinking of you now. He carries you deep ii his heart. He is both sad and afraid. Something you said t him once he can ' t forget. He almost fears to go back, t. go home. He ' s thinking what if he comes through the wa and goes home— only to find you gone! The gardenias — you ' ve dropped them. You see, my dear, you were always the same— too impetu ous. You should have waited. You should not have rea| finality into the first report. 17 m I . y SjiAj yia X e- E, . .-THI- C Jl Ji iL i Wv,£. vb-oJ ,A oj: - , S) j S ' Oa b ACL 5 . 7, — rkt. — ■ J S . :? , — (2 .. .oUiJ - M ' _ CiSi TV , ' 5 ' cOTn T Oi i .r. -,f f dZ ' h . . y e u •=s[) A Lb-CUl{jkji • O-Mg.

W .W G-DAY . . .THE day N wM r TWICE A YEAR By PATRICIA SERAFIIVO Fondly, Tess packed lier bridge cards, stationery, and book of show tickets. Then, with a martyred air and a sneeze, she dusted off her textbooks and lecture notes. It was exam week. The hour had come for lier to prepare to make a grade or lose a grade. Because exam week inspired everyone to study but her, Tess was the kind that lost grades. Her friends were already hard at it. The roommate, Annie Quarternote, was lustily practicing the third grade arrange- ment of: Mother, tell me what ' s the matter Why the hen makes so much clatter. Darling, her chicks are not ducks That is why the old hen clucks. Annie had a music education test in the morning. But so did her journalist roommate, Packy Punkprint. Packy and two other journalists, Label and Libel, were prattling about new faces and strange faces and old familiar faces. They said they were studying for a copyreading test, but Tess knew they were just talking about people — whicli is what journalists are famous for. All afternoon Tess had heard unpronounce- able words pronounced glibly b} ' two Pre-Meds, who ' tonight would memorize disease symptoms and vicariously catch each disease as they learned it. Tess ' coterie, with all its new-found thirst for knowledge, arranged to drink a little more of it even after lights-out. Armed with clip boards, notes, and books, they staked their claims on the bathroom floor. Tess followed amiably with her books, of course, but also with two pillows. And there in the bathroom they all found physical educational majors memo- rizing bones, speech majors making speeches to the radiator, and Spanish majors feeling muy malas y cansadas, graclas, usted tambien? They found institution majors so weak from interning at hygeia, the caf, the dining room, tlie U.B., and the several practice cottages that all they had strength for was to stare listlessly at their dietetics books — but they stared 3ravely on into the night. In fact, everyone was there except :iie business majors, who had managed their sche dules in such i business-like arrangement that they didn ' t need extra nights n the John to supplement their well-regulated study periods. Anyway, the idea of so much industry made Tess tired, the Jillows proved too soft ; she sank into them, closed the book, md closed her eyes. Her friends absorbed in cramming, were juiet, so she slept peacefully until a newcomer walked in. My gosh! she expostulated, bodies all over the floor — t looks ghastly. (Ed. comment: In reading this article 1 recognize the newcomer just referred to as me. Only I was just in there to take a shower — I don ' t break rules — not to study, anyway. At any rate I want to verify its ghastliness: I had just come from liearing about the German atrocity pic- tures, and when I walked in and glimpsed all those bodies lying about — well, no kidding, my hair stood straight up.- — L.B.) Tess blinked a little, realized that she was right — something certainly was ghastly. But wliy should that bother Tess? She turned to sleep again. Her roommate, Annie, just looked at her. Why don ' t you take her home and put her in bed ? one of tile industrious assembly inquired. Oh, she worries about her exams when she goes to bed, ' ' Annie replied. And well she might worry. Her teacliers were getting so creative about making their exams suitably difficult and com- prehensive. More than one such ingenious contrivance waited for Tess and Tess knew they waited, so she trembled. Dear God, she prayed, let me catch the measles or faint or die on tlie way to this test, because I just can ' t take it now. He was entreated this way until Tess reached the room full of other miserable, waiting people. Then she approached Him in a different way: Well, since you ' re making me take this test, won ' t you please make me pass it? If you do, I ' ll always study hard and be good and won ' t talk about people . . . But she had to quit bargaining with God, because her teacher, usually so agreeable and easy-going, was giving instructions in clipped, business-like phrases and grimly passing out inky smelling sheets. Tess made up some answer for every ques- tion. Somehow test papers looked more respectable with wrong answers than with no answers, she felt. Finally, she handed her paper in and went home to get some sleep. After all, she had to get refreshed for studying in the bathroom again that night. Eight days and nights dragged by that way until on-; day at 12:01 Tess scrambled up a flight of steps to see the grade she was most afraid to see, the grade she had bothered God the most about. Slie remembered eighteen weeks ago when she had buoyantly walked back from her first class in tliat course and promised herself an A in it. Then, a test or so later she had decided a B would have to do. But weeks went by after that, she reflected as her eye traveled down the grade sheet on the bulletin board. Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming relief, an incredulous joy. Thank you, she whispered as she glanced upward, It ' s perfectly glorious to find a C. 305 ■mimiinimr 9 ftW MkfS tr Jbyvb I DOW T CBK€ Vf 5W€S n£ rA -x:5 . «l •{ J S ' A ONG, rv Y foot fsoroe ow GOT v V — -J CLOT eS il c? ti i A. (S?0l J A Short Story about yoii and your roommate. Donna stared abjectly at the oak. Framed by blue curtains, glassed behind the window pane, the grotesque, gnarled limbs bent and swayed in shudders, flogged by the February wind. Not many leaves were left now; the few survivors trembled and shimmered in the fluorescence of a full moon. It must be cold outside, she thought; then abruptly she tore her eyes away from the scene, tightening her lips with determination. There was no time for mooning now. The black alarm clock on her desk reminded her it was nine, and she still had not finished that short story due tomorrow. In fact, she had not decided even what plot to develop. Well, it was too late to mull over prime of life, she was defeated and died, unloved and unapptj ciated. ' But never underfed, Donna said acidly, nodding at the halj eaten sandwich. 1 Hank was hurt. All right, go on and laugh ! She said omi| ously. But some day — Someday, you ' re going to wake up to the fact that whii you ' ve been stuffing for your day of reckoning, you ' ve also ot, broadened your dresses. You can ' t go on eating as you do witj out gaining weight some timel She could not keep a note 1 envy from her voice, for in spite of her tremendous consumptii of food. Hank ' s waist refused to expand. Hank opened her mouth to retort, but Donna cut in iij patiently, Verj well — you are doomed ! But how about helping me o on this story before you expire? I see you don ' t consider yourself good enough to try me, yf cJjy. nlargar ' ila C c anas WHAT different situations, now. This had to be written, however badly it turned out. A fresh sheet whirred into the portable Remington; and she straightened its edges carefully, spacing down almost in des- peration What to write! The large wastepaper basket at her side frothed wrinkled sheets, crushed remainders of her futile attempts. Something was wrong. Her ideas seemed promising at the outset, but, somehow, fizzled to nothingness. It was sense- less, anyway, trying to write about life, when absolutely nothing interesting ever happened in college, and much less in this noisy dormitory full of people who were simply existing, not really living or doing anything extraordinary or exciting. The door banged open; and she looked up to see her tall, gangly roommate amble in, long legs startlingly white against the wrinkled blue shorts she seemed to live in. She was munch- ing contentedly on a peanut butter sandwich, white and brown specks dotting her chin and lips. Donna felt a pang of hunger, but viciously repressed it. This week, she was going on that long promised diet. Hi! No inspiration yet? The words were chewed out between gargantuan bites. No. What in the world am I going to do. Hank? If only I lived in New York, or some place where people really do things ! WeU, Hank flopped on the bed, propping a battered loafer on the footboard, write about me. Here I am about to die any minute, and you sit over there, worrying about someone to write about. I ' d make a lovely, gruesome tale. Donna made a wry face. Ever since a fortune teller, for fifty cents, had told Hank she saw a sudden death in her cards, she had gone around with a woebegone expression on her normally cheerful face, and at every opportunity made dark references to the shortness of life. It could be the story of a budding genius, her career ruined from birth, when she was christened Henrietta for her rich aunt. Bravely, she struggled to thwart her fate, but, at last, in the You might try your hand at writing about somebody else here Here? What a joke! I suppose it would be awfully interes ing to read about a stark tragedy such as Helen ' s flunking chei istry, or even Nora ' s being locked out of her room with nothii but her shower cap on. Now, if she ' d been murdered — Donna ! I don ' t care. At least it would be different. I had though of writing about a great composer who falls in love with h prize pupil, about whom he knows nothing, and then discove she is really his daughter. Now, that would be meaty ! Hank rolled her eyes. That isn ' t wliat the censors wou call it! she whooped. I ' ll set it in New York. Donna ' s face brightened ai she gazed dreamily at her typewriter. Ever been to New York? No, but that ' s where all the stories in the big magazines tal place. I can get some background from one of them. I can s it right now — Don ' t let me dampen your art. Donna, came Hank ' s la; voice. But do you know anything about music? Well, Donna was dubious. I used to play the piano soni I played the Minuet in G in a recital once. Besides, I needi make any remarks about music, really. This wiU be more i the psychological side, about the passions of men and womi that turn the wheels of life. Say, that doesn ' t sound so ba does it? I ' ll use that somewhere — the passions that turn t wheels — It ' s slightly reminiscent of corn, if you ask me, but : ahead. I still insist — The door crashed open, and the Worry Bird on the dress wobbled dangerously as a disheveled figure stomped in. Greetings, friends! Have you heard the latest? Me waved a yeUow telegram in her hand. My dear father h| remarried, and he now announces the news of the happy uiU ' to his shelved-away offspring. Isn ' t that a scream? I think I 308 i h Iiome right now, strike a pose and moan ' Mammy! ' to my vmama! She fell to one knee, her face screwed up with lent emotion, her arms flung out pitiously. No! Donna momentarily forgot her story, and Hank her 1th, as she somersaulted up. But Meek! Hank leaned forward in amazement. I tliought mean — She was confused, too embarrassed to go on. Vou mean, didn ' t my mother die only last year? Meck was her lips twisted in a bitter grin. So what? Tliat ' s not the nt, the point being, a man needs a woman, so tlie books say, I was too far away to snatcli my poor parent from the res of this scheming female. Well, she ' s welcome to him, and •e power of resistance to her. As for me, the least I can do ive tlie cooing couple my blessings by mail, since tliey didn ' t : me a chance to dance at the wedding! She wliirled and ■ted out the door. Hev, come back here ! It ' s useless. I can ' t even start to write when I haven ' t even lived ! Her climactic words were the cue for a lively chorus from the door. Hey! Donna ' s eyes closed in pain, and lier hands gripped the desk edge. Slie knew the voices. Dot and Miriam. They never would leave. Hank called out a cheery welcome, and slie wear- ily turned around. She had to be decent to them. At the sight, she burst out in laughter. Dot ' s face was a rigid white mask of plaster, only her eyes and lips free from the white crust. Don ' t make me laugh, Dot mumbled between rigid lips. It ' s the new mask for pimples. Got to keep my face stiff so it won ' t crack. Listen. What ' s the matter with Meck. Miriam was saying worriedly. I stopped by her room a minute ago, and she had all the lights out, and was crying her heart out on the bed. I TO WRITE! No can do. Have to spread tlie tidings elsewhere. G. B. ! rhey heard her down the hall, calling her news shrilly from ■ to door. Donna looked at Hank with amusement. She ' s a crazy one. Iiing bothers her. Wish trouble slid off my slioulders that ly- 3ut Hank was sitting pensively, a strange look on her face, on ' t know. Sometimes, people can keep back what they really Meek — that ' s a shell she ' s hiding behind. She reallj ' loves father of hers. She told me once, that since her mother , she felt so close to him. She was going to make up to hini the other loss. And now, what is she going to do. It ' s the of her little world — 3onna shrugged. Maybe. But I can ' t waste any more time king about other people ' s troubles. I ' ve simply got to write story ! Furiously, slie clacked out on her machine a minute, stopped, ank looked at her, shook her head, then walked over to over the bent shoulders. ' Let ' s see what you have. She read in a iiigh falsetto. ' He her in his arms passionately, gloating over the cascade londe mane slithering over his hands. Burying Iiis head on shoulder, he whispered — ' Is that what you ' re stumped on, t he ' s going to whisper?

Donna ed, slumping over the black keys. Ah, now. Hank was conciliatory. You know I was just ng. That sounds pretty interesting, only I wish you wouldn ' t ler so far abroad when there ' s plenty of material right around oure hopeless. I ' d like to see some of j ' our so-called rial. Why, even if somebody had something happen to her, would still be only half the story, dangling off with no end! asked what was wrong, but she only shook her head and wouldn ' t say. What ' s happened? Hank told her, and pity gentled Miriam ' s voice. Gosh, that ' s too bad. That ' s what I call not life but plain living. But, she pursed her mouth, It all goes to show what utter ingrates men are. That ' s why I ' m not going to marry, ever. Especially not Tom. I can just see it — me, barely settling down in my grave, and he already making eyes at somebody else. No, tliank j ' ou, that ' s not for me. Hank laughed. Hah! Bet you ' ll marry him the minute the war ' s over. By the way, isn ' t he about through with his training? Yes, didn ' t I tell you? He ' s all through now, and just wait- ing for his orders. He might be sent over. In fact, it ' s a pretty sure thing, the way it ' s going. He wants me to marry him now. But of course I can ' t. There was a troubled note in her voice. I don ' t know what to do. I keep thinking yes, it ' s he, but how can I be sure? I haven ' t known him so very long, after all, although it seems years and years. Suppose I married him, and he were sent over, and — I hate to think about it — suppose he weren ' t to come back? What would I do? I don ' t think I could stand it. I ' ve seen it happen to others, and I don ' t want it to hapj en to me. I guess I ' m just a coward, she sighed. I wish someone were here who knew all the answers and could tell me wliat I should do. Dot was pecking at her face in front of the mirror. Think I ' ll take it off now, she decided. May I borrow your waslibowl and a towel? Donna waved her to the corner and give up all pretense of trying to think about her story. Miriam ' s words had pushed anotlier problem to her mind. I don ' t know whether I ' m glad or sorry I said no to Johnny, and I ' ve known him all my life. Her gaze rested on an envelope by the typewriter. I hear from him pretty regu- larly, but Iiis letters don ' t sound like him any more. I ' m kind of worried, she said.

A mod- ern un-Shakespearish presentation of Romeo and Juliet was given from the second floor window of a dormitory one sunny Sunday. Via previous commando training, two marines and two soldiers climbed the wall to a window. The Juliets suffered from stage fright and fled from the room. An all-time all-timer is this: Capps freshman caused an uproar there one Sunday night, when in the course of a conversation, she innocently asked, Who is Mrs. Wooten?

HK were a strange audieiiee — the figure.s elad. siniie in iiite, some in white and blue, and a hirge majority in dull •ay. In the semi-darkness, the faces stood out in white relief, 1 air of tension seeming to rise from them to touch the stage id performers. The expressions aried. ... A smallish, ])lum| an in his thirties leaned forward eagerly, rubbing his hands, )w and then nudging his neighlior and grinning. 15ut two seats iwn, a redhead frowned abstractly, siiouldrrs hunched, arms Ided, boredom sketclied in the downward droop of his mouth, eside him, a boy. Hushed face guiltless of cxeii the suggestion a beard sprawled on his chair, arms limply hanging at hi.s des. His eyes were closed. And at the far end of the front w, an old man blankly glued his eyes on the wall. There was sonjctliing unusual about the auditorium itself. _-hind the blue-pancd windows, rows of bars cut the light, lards leaned in apjjarent carelessness against the walls at the ies and at the liack, in front of the door. It was a Sunday afternonn in .laiuiary, and the T.SC ' W )llege Capers were preparing to |)ut on a show in the L ' nite ' d ates Public Health Hospital in Tort Worth, for naval aiu! irine patients, many of tiiem sent from the Pacific theater war. These men were being treated for luj jthysical illness, r tlieir bodies were healthy. They were recuperating from a ■ntal relapse, a temporary breaking under the tremendous rain of war. Tiie hosjiital was their borderlantl where they re still fighting, but this time to recover control over mind d to cross that intangible barrier into i-omplete sanity. The lites were almost ready to go home: the blues were on their ly to reco ery; but for the greys there was as yet only a hope. For these men and boys, the .Serenaders, ' ocalaires, C ' aper- tes, Violin Trio and lujvelty performers were to give an hour entertainment. The girls were nervous, yes, for some had ver appeared before such ))atieuts. Trips to Camp Howze d even McC ' loskcy Hospital, where they thought they had ;n the worst war could do to a man, were not so disturbing as is. The inserut.ibje faces gave no hint of the coming reaction, ■rhaps they would not like the music and the dances. There was only one way to find out. The musicians took a ep breath, and the show began. A jxipular song blared out d echoed in the hall. .Slowly, some of the tension was pushed ide. The polite clapping was livened by a few cheers, and plump man grinned widely. The jjerforniers relaxed, and )m the wings, William E. Jones, coordinator of the shows, iled encouragement. The Vocalaires came out a little more ease. As they sang, faces were more attentive, and the ap- luse came with energetic spontaneity. The girls looked at ■h other and strode oti the stage with assurance. It wasn ' t liard, after all; and they did seem to like it. Even the dis- proving one looked on with interest.

I think you ' ll understand when I tell you about it. You see. Mom, last week-end the .Modern Choir went to McCloskey (leneral Hospital in Temple. The hospital special- izes in orthopedic surgery for boys back from the South Pacific. Wc saw. and sang to, all types of servicemen. We danced with boys who could talk of nothing but the .laps and Ciuadalcanal. I su|)pose it ' s hard for them to forget what they ' ve been through, and even more difficult to refrain from talking about it. They were terribly nice, those boys. Funny, but they weren ' t strangers at all. I felt as if I ' d known them all somewhere be- fore. They ' re the boys I went to school with, the guys I fought with and played with. They were my first beaux, the fellows I write to every week. They are the same, and yet not the same. Those boys we met are so terribly, terribly wise. They ' ve been through so much, and they weren ' t lucky eno igh to escape unscarred. Some of them will never be the same in jjliysique ; none will ever be the same in spirit. ' e girls — J.) of us — met a convoy .Saturday. A convoy car- rying ' 2,50 American men with the fight knocked right out of them. As they came in we sang to them and cheered them, and I ' ve ne er felt less like cheering. Why. ' Because I felt humbled and ashamed that it ' s taken me so long to wake up. I saw a lot of things clearly as I looked at those bovs. I saw for certain that war isn ' t just something we read about in a ncwsjiaix ' r, or the cause for using V-.Mail instead of sta- tionery. It isn ' t just a food shortage or a date shortage. And as I looked at the saddened jjallid faces of those men — those faces that smiled with the lijis only — I guess my gaze dropped to my shoes, because again I was filled with shame. Only last week I was complaining because I didn ' t have a shoe stamp. A shoe stamp ! All sorts of things were going on inside me, but we sang several programs, talked to the men, and danced — some of the men were dancing who had one or even two artificial legs. The boys apjjrcciated our ])resence there — one said that he ' d often thought, out in the jungles, of coming back to the States and dancing with a lovely S ' rl. .Mom. I was glad that I could be that girl. But the most impressive thing of all was Sunday morning chapel. The church was filled. Some of the girls went to the wards and wheeled the men to church in wheel chairs. Other boys came on crutches. Tlie other ones who had to remain in bed heard the services on the radio . . . and I thought of the many times I ' ve missed church to sleep.

Ask any gal taking flying what she has in mind tor those ' ar Bonds when they ripen, and she ' ll tell you a trim little cub of her own. Versatility is the keynote of the group wliieh contains everything from prospective commercial pilots and j)leasure seekers to the high-brows interested in flying as a technical or artistic asset. Learning her husband ' s job while he ' s doing it keejjs Frances McDowell Wagner busy and happy. . n honorably discharged oftieer in tiie .Vrmy urse Corps and a registered nurse in New York, Frances flew around Europe for jire-vvar pleasure — but as a passenger — and took a fancy to it then. But it was not until she endured Paris ' flrst air raids with that indomitable city that she made u|) her mind. Now she ' s working for a degree in nursing and learning to fly while her flight oflieer liusliand in the Air Transport Com- mand hauls vital supplies to the boys over there. Edie Williams, sojih art major, intends to study seul])- ture in Italy, France, and Cireece, come post-war davs, and wants to use flying as a means of getting around. Of course, there ' s always one in the group who has to know what makes it tic I That ' s Pat Cartney. She ' s interested in flying and airplanes basically, technii ' ally, and very, very seriously. Pat wants to try her hand at designing tomorr nv ' s skyliners. Nora Mae Pierce, a T.SCW graduate aiul now advertising director of Russell ' s DeiKirtment Store, is the only flying and navigation student not ottieially enrolled in the College. She and her sister, Aurelia. a senior bacteriologv major, plan to have their own plane to fly to New York and glamorous other jilaces on buying trips for the store. Jean Hill. Donna Laura Cooley. and Ruth P.irkhill. who soloed the same afternoon, want to be commercial pilots. Rut then who doesn ' t. So just in case the field ' s a little crowded. Jean ' s majoring in journalism, and Donna is study- ing to be a teacher. Ruth ' s still hoping.

Since then, however, she ' s made up for lost time and now ranks .as one of the top student hour holders at the field. M. F. Rrown. lie-pigtailed junior with the Oxford accent, is a veteran. So are Eve Ecliols and Dot Hill, who soloed back in the dark ages of last s])ring before flying was on the TSCW eurrieujum. Naturally there ' s a ceiling on tin- number of students who can take flying each semester, but the long waiting list for next term, and the still longer one for parental consent show that students are catching on and taking to the air. Tomorrow ' s Tessie, homemaker or career gal, knows that her future is via the skyways.

BJiSWP Wn W,fP?77I7UH™ hftiw«mvMin:r ' ' THE LITTLE THUGS How I complained. Stormed. Ranted. But as I look back to my college years, I laugh because the things I tliought I dis- liked most are now my cherished memories. I shall never forget going to breakfast at TSCW in mid- winter. Tlie darkness was cold and crisp. I walked out of the dorm with my roommate, too sleepy yet to talk, but not too sleepy to think how peculiar it was to walk along in the dark, stumbling up and down steps, dodging the other sleep-walkers on the sidewalks, gazing dreamily at the big yellow moon and the stars, sighing, and at the same time thinking about hot coffee, bacon, and eggs. I remember classes and spells of romanticism that hit me during them and at no other time. From the window of a Spanish class high in the Ad Building I could see a feudal castle sticking up through the gray mist— the moat with its drawbridge obscured. With the landscape blotted out the illu- sion was perfect. Then the sun broke through, the fog melted, and my chateau was only Denton County Courthouse. I was back in Spanish 133. Clearest of all my memories is the P. O. I can shut my eyes and push through the crowds once more, have the same empty feeling when I had no mail, and then the sickness of envy as I saw the envelopes in other boxes. My motlier enjoyed the Post Office more than any other phase of my coUege career. Each time she visited me, she wandered through the little building, wat ching the elation and disgust, hearing the shouts of joy, ohs of sorrow, and ahs of surprise of each girl. One day, how- ever, she came in from a P.O. jaunt in a huff. In explanation she said, One girl passed me this morning in the P. O. and answering her friend who had asked the eternal question, ' Did you get any mail? ' , disgustedly replied. ' No, just a letter from Mom! ' There ' s one particular tiling I remember about the dining room. What a beautiful piece of chocolate cake I had that day. I took my fork in hand and began cutting a huge bite when I heard the girl across from me cry out, Don ' t eat your cake like that! Don ' t you know it ' s never done here? There I sat bewildered, wondering how I was to eat my piece of cake when the girl spoke again, Here, watch what I do. With a swift movement she cut the cake in two, turned the top upside down, and ignoring the fork completely, took it up with her fingers and took a bite. When her mouth was free, she said, This is cake TSCW style. Texas State College for Women and assembly. When we were in College, we claimed the words had the same connota- tions. There we were strolling into the auditorium, calling to each other, chewing on candy bars, wondering if the mail would be up when the program was over. The tempo quickened with Dean White ' s Get in your seats, girls. We must start on time. Then the senior class president made an announcement. So did the P. E. major, pardon me. Physical Education major. An- nouncements done, the speaker was introduced; and he begati ...we shan ' t forge Coiiipilod by .liiditti McIVei his speech. Then I first thought complete boredom settled ov tlie whole room; but after cynicism was past, I realized tli feeling of TSCW as a whole pervaded the auditorium; th; two thousand girls sitting there were united at one time duriij the week. I know now that we were awed at being part of much. My memory devotes its largest portion to my dormitory, didn ' t matter whicli dorm I lived in, my room was the samj Two beds were piled high with animals. Around the facing nej tlie ceiling were tacked Back Home for Keeps pictures, phot} graphs, red heart boxes, a Hawaiian calendar, and an emp; Whitman ' s box. On the walls were two bulletin boards coij pletely covered with snapshots and notices of all sorts. In adc tion to the regular number of beds, chairs, and desks, there w| a dresser, a medium-sized chest of drawers, a combination rad; and phonograph, and several record cases. Down the hall, screams of Come back! Come back he this minute! , followed two laughing girls running away wi a shower victim ' s Clothes. Several minutes later, the shoutj tore down the passage-way wrapped in a shower curtain. But with all the uncertainty of living in a dorm there W| one item never discarded, house meetings. A bell sounded 7 p. m. Thursday. Throngs of girls poured down the dormito stairs into the living room and flowed to every corner, eve chair, and space on the rug to put themselves for the next hal hour. The voice of the dormitory director brought the chatt to silence. But the congregation of girls still fidgeted during r. call, stared dreamily through announcements, and pinched th( neiglibors during the discipline from the hostess. They yawn ' during the decrees from the Administration and giggled durij the uUimatums from the counselors. That ' s all the business f tonight began the clamor again. The girls started pushing 1 ward the sign-out book. Next to brushing our teeth, signing out was probably o most frequent ritual as Tessie-ites; and the sign-out book v a greater revelation of our characters than our diaries. From we could almost guess everything about a girl from the eontei of her grade book to her weekly allowance. It was a ritual tl freshmen liad nightmares about, sophomores forgot, junic complained about, and seniors were resigned to. But everyo went through it. The dormitory bulletin board, stuck just around some c( ner or below the stairs was without a doubt the center of dor itory life. It was mind and memory for forgetful girls and news-letter for all. Here a typical Tessie stopped at least fi or six times a day to ask, Did my permission come today or We don ' t have Student Council meeting tonight, do we. What happened to tliat special I was supposed to get? The b letin board could mean joy for some with notices like operator 18 or Telegram in the office. But it could me| impending doom for others with Come by office for notice trj J. ,.

The business man iias big ideas, o, of enlarging and spending money to the best advantage of s institution. Tlie scientists, architects, engineers, and de- gners plan the material world — clothes, food, homes, trans- irtation, buildings, factories. If these dreams would coincide. Iiat place would TSCW have in the world of tomorrow .? Natural tlie question may be, still more fantastic can be the answer. (Remember, I can dream, too !j Tlie average Tessie in the world of tomorrow will be wear- g sloppy plasties and synthetic loafers spending week-ends d vacations in Taliiti or over the pole in Russia. She ' ll also going on all-day sliopping trips to Paris or fulfilling an ritation to a Royal ball at Buckingham Palace. TSCW will be the largest woman ' s college in the world, and ■ssie will be one of possibly 10,(100 students attending to take vantage of courses ranging from technical skills to liberal ts. More students will be attending for the jjrofessional oppor- lities being stressed. Some will be exes wlio have been out p a number of years in the business world returning for spec- ized training. Tessie will laugh when she hears these old friends talk about ; trouble they had trying to leave the campus on week-ends, •ause in the future TSCW buses will leave on the hour every iir to all points nortli, east, south, and west. For those really a rush, the air field adjoining the 18-hole golf course will fr transportation facilities. This girl of tomorrow will live in dormitories that have walls plastic and steel, hollow for the free passage of warm air tlie winter and cool air in the summer. In each room there will not only hot water (which will always be hot), but also ice d running water, and a private phone. Each room will have •adio-television set installed in the wall and lights will be all-night privilege. When there is a rush season, the Registrar ' s Office will call Business .Manager ' s Office giving instructions for prefab- ited sections to be added to certain crowded dormitories. A ig will be added or a fourth or fiftli story on the walls already uding. There will be transjiarent plastic in the schoolroom ll.v ItoluroK Worlliiiiii winchius to admit the vitamin-carrying rays of the sun. Parti- tions of the rooms may be changed. One room can be made into two. or two into one. Escalators will be in all classroom build- ings, and there will be coke machines on each floor, Carl will still be here. too. with the title of Head Escalator Man. direct- ing traffic on the three escalators in the Administration Building. All. yes. we musn ' t forget the super-deluxe Post-Office. It will be of glass brick and boxes will be on the outside. When .Mr. Weaver pops a letter into that . ' i by l. the numbers will light up automatically; and when the mail is all uji. the entire post office will become iridescent. Incidentally, the whistle at the jiower-house will blow three times at this point. Over 1.00(1 of the students on the campus will be enrolled ill the TSCW School of Nursing. The pre-med course will be extended through tlie cooperation of the Science Department. After receiving their degrees, students will automatically move into the hospital for more advanced training. Atop the hospital, helicopters will be ])ermitted to land, and students owning their own will store them in a special garage. In the new Home Economics Building some of the older teach- ers will still be marvelling at the new jjots and pans designed to fit the burners. All shapes and sizes will be found in the utility kitchen cabinets which will be a part of the combination refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, rinser. and drier. Today we call them commuters, but in the future tiiey ' ll just be local students wlio live rather far out. The new car they ' ll be driving will be not only lighter, faster and have the motor in the rear, but it ' ll also be a triple purpose job. There ' ll be de- tachable wings with controls, fuel tanks, and two engines will enable students to sleep fifteen minutes later, get their breakfast on the way. and still be on time for first jieriod classes. Almost too fantastic to mention will lie the central dining unit that will be a well-equipped auto-mat, Saturday night dances in the College Club and ballroom with big-name bands, a dailv Las.s-O, and extension schools, somewhat like Saltillo. in France South America, Russia, and China. It is easy to see how progress will be made in all fields of education, because these other institutions will be telescojjed quickly and studied more thor- oughly by the future student. To be sure every TSCWite gets her man, a School of Beauty will be operated for the purjjose of giving Tess that slim trim aiJjjearance. The Publicity Department will be saying. Slie ' s lo ely, she ' s engaged, she attended TSCW ' s School of Beauty. Fantastic, you say, and positively unbelievable? Only dreams of a school girl, an engineer, and a designer, but they could come true. Tomorrow is our world, a dream of today even as today was of yesterday. 319 ■llKil ' TJrorailTT ' 1.

Speaking of birds, there were quite a few long- legged ones standing on one leo- in the shallow water around the lake. Someone sug- gested that they might be storks, but we finally decided that they were seagulls do- ing advance publicity for Frenchman ' s Creek. which opened in Denton that week- end. We would have rather seen the Frenchman, though. Back to the next morning, Nancy Lou Huff and Loelleta Carpenter went to the Ag- gies ' cabin to tell them break- fast was ready. There was no sign of life ; so they honked tlie horn of the armoured car which was parked there. Beau- tiful sound ! Sorta a cross be- tween a fog liorn with laryn- gitis and a freshman class yell. A head followed a pil- low out of the window, and a foggy-eyed Mr. Ford asked lonainan loqan what was the matter in the middle of the night ... a fire ? They said no — sausages and eggs. A couple of seconds later the Aggies invaded our cabin for breakfast. After breakfast we did more exciting things like washing dishes, folding bedding, and scrubbing the floor so the cabin would look decent for the next suckers. Jockeying for positions in the armoured car and the truck, we set out for civili- zation again. May I mention here how ravishing Judy Mc- Neill, Betty Rose Cravens, and Peggy Boyd looked wrap- ped squaw style in their prom- ising pink, bashful blue, and lavish lavender plaid blankets and sitting on the back of the truck. Freezing to deatli from a 90 gale wind coming back, we sang anyway and kept pitcli- ing a slightly shopworn apple from vehicle to vehicle. But due to the fact that the said a. c. was about 20 years faster than the truck, we won. Only serious casualty on the whole trip Iiappened then ... on entering the ideal liome city of Denton on Tex- as street. A lovely spreading tree had been planted in someone ' s front yard. Fran- ces Matsler and I were taking bows (we sang and danced for the pore lil victims in the a. c). She bowed again, and I didn ' t ; and a branch of said lovely tree smacked me on the pan. It scratched me up a bit, and I knew my eternal beauty was on tlie verge of fading; but they told me not to worry that they would love me even if I were homely. This cheered me up a bit, and I might say I even enjoyed the solicitude lavished on me over tlie resulting blackeye. Only no one believed it hap- pened that way. After doing something dif- ferent, riding around the cam- pus yelling the Aggie War Hymn at the top of our frosted if not fragile lungs, we disembarked at the P. O., bid fond farewell, well — fare- well, to our guests and drag- ged what was left of our bod- (Continued fro A too familiar TSCW tradi- tion is the midnight fire drill. A bell shattered our dreams. We made a wild leap in total darkness fumbling for robes, stumbling over chairs and room- mates, joining the throng shov- ing down the stairs. We chat- tered with cold during the roll- call, mounted the stairs again, tumbled back into bed, and needed no sheep-counting to get back to sleep. There was always an awful aching empty feeling that struck us in the dorms about 10:30 p. m. Hunger. Pajamas, rolled hair, or tomorrow ' s Shakespeare assignment could- n ' t keep it away. A dash for a coat, non-split preferably, a scarf hastily tied around the pinned curls, orders from room- mate and neighbors, a pocket of jumbled coins; and we were off to Mac ' s. Taking the stairs two at a time, then a quick slow - up through the living room past the eyes of the sec- retary, and we were safe in the darkness outside. We gave our pajama legs a quick hitch, loped across the short-cut, and clambered into the store, yell- ing our orders of cokes and hamburgers to go. We caused bursts of laughter as we bent over the boxes of apples and oranges. After a frenzied pay- ment in nickels and dimes los- ing track of how much we owed them at the dorm, we burdened ourselves with slosh- ing drinks and bulky sacks and made our way back tlirough the door of home. Stumbling up the stairs we were always met by Tessies wild from hun- ger and looking the part in tlieir varied night costumes. But of all my memories of ies off to the dorms wailing Never again!

When the girls filed down from the stage, on their way to dinner in the hospital dining-room, the men called out friendly coniidiments to a back- ground of occasional wliistles. Tlie afternoon seemed short to the girls, but how much so to tlie men was brouglit out by Miss Mabel Coffin, Field Di- rector of the Red Cross Unit, who witli Mrs. Beatrice Allen Red Cross Director of Recrea- tion, received the group. Tlie full realization of what the shows mean to the patients came with iMiss Coffin ' s quiet thanks and ex])lanation that this was the first show tlie ))a- tients had seen since last fall. She told of tlie eagerness with which they had looked forward to the afternoon, a break in the hos] ital routine. If the amateur entertainers had felt e.xhilirated with their success, now they were thought- ful. They began to understand how ]iitifidly little tlieir work had been, and yet liow ajijire- ciated. They understood tlie importance of these shows, es- pecially in that type of lios))i- tal. Music and songs surelv helped, if only in creating a lighter mood, inii)erative to the recuperation ])rocess. When the two buses rolled out of the hospital grounds, there could not have been a girl who looked back at the closed wire gate without think- ing of the men behind it, and not one who did not wish to come back. True, it was little enough, what she could do ; but ])erliaps she might be able to liel)), even if in a small meas- ure, open that gate, so that those men, too, could walk out, again sure of themselves. 327 I t aammmmmsnKmimmm WHAT TO WRITE (Continued f) It takes a war to make us sto)) and think, doesn ' t it?

I ' d like to ask a few questions myself, like what I ' m going to do when I get out of here, and what everything is about, really. We don ' t know so much, after all. We sit here and talk, and de- cide and work out the pattern one way, to find out it ' s entirely different and so chameleon changeable, we can ' t keep up with it. Take INIeck. She was so sure, and turned out to be wrong. And you and I. This sounds like a corny line from a melodramer; but don ' t you ever ask yourself, what are we, anvway? Why do we exist? There has to be some reason, hut what is it, and who ' s going to tell us? I mean, this business of going through the motions of living — is it an interlude, or is it the end in itself? That hereafter they keep telling us about — is there anything to it ? I don ' t know. Do you? Donna stared at her in amazement. That was the long- est speech Hank had ever made in that vein. Even when talking of her supposed sudden end, there had been humor in her melodramatic dissertations. In everything, in fact, there had been a Hank who apparently did not bother to think very much, and rather took life as it came, shrugging off the un- pleasant, and accepting with indifference whatever was good. This was a new person, one Donna did not feel she knew verv well even after almost three years of rooming to- gether. Is that immortality you ' re talking about?

Every possi- lile inch is filled to capacity with happy, singing, home- bound coeds. Some wear suits and hose and hats ; others are still in skirts, sloppy joes, and saddle slioes. A few greenhorns drive themselves, and everyone else, crazy by bringing all their luggage with them instead of sending it ahead.

Immobile, Hank sat staring out the win- ( ( ' unci iiclcd on pnyc 331) i:« i 329 nutmLou jnm ' Kt vwim LITTLE CHAPEL (Continued from page 38Jf) glass windows, the brass light fixtures, mosaics, mahogany, and brass doors, carved pulpit and pews — they all came from the minds and hands of stu- dents. It is a standing tribute to the artistry and versatility of college women. So it is that every young woman who comes to the col- lege considers it as hers, as much as she does Redbud Lane or her dormitory. Going to the Chapel for Sunday morning services is as much a part of her schedule as going to classes during the week, or to the Col- lege Club Saturday night. She plays and studies, but she also finds time to go to the Chapel. For this primarily, was it built — for meditation and prayer. Many a troubled student, feel- ing a need for a place where she can unravel her problems, has found her way to the wooden door, always unlocked, and has gone in to sit or kneel, as she seeks help. The cool silence is inducive to restfulness, and the richly- hued windows offer inspiration. The color scheme of the win- dows is in keeping with the basic idea of the Little Chapel, fresh and glowing, harmoniz- ing with the Texas landscape, capturing the vigor of the country. Eight of these win- dows on each side of the nave depict woman ' s role in the ser- vice of mankind. Nursing, teaching, science and social ser- vice show her tending to the physical needs, while opposite them, she provides esthetic sat- isfaction through speech, dance, literature and music. The nu- cleus, however, lies in the motherhood window in the chancelry, back of the altar. Before this modest altar, with its simple crucifix, brides take their vows. After the cere- mony, they sign the Bride ' s Book, also designed and made by a student. The book is sig- nificant, for not only is it a rec- ord of marriage, but in its wiclm]dd im -furtmit Ji f ' ' f pages is written a chapter of history. In 1939, the men ' s names were those of civilians. Tlien came 19 H and 191 ' 2, and slowly the change took place. Prefixes of Pvt., Sgt., Lt. or Capt. stood out boldly, a jar- ring note, until in 19ii and 1915, they become dominant. War came to toucli the life of the college student. But the book is only begun, and the pages in it, many. They will tell the passing of an era, and the beginning of anotlier. Then will the names be free from military rank, and the dates of graduation for the brides be in the past, not the future. The script shall be firmer, an assertion of strong confidence and faith. Confidence and faith — thisi is what those who come to the; Little Chapel seek and find. The bride, exchanging a life; of carefree happiness for one of responsibility, asks for spir- itual fortitude to lielp her knead satisfaction from her life, and mold it into a rich, useful one. Tlic freshman, shaken by the abrupt contact with a thousand different lives and personal philosophies, gropingly search- es for confirmation of her basic beliefs. Somehow, both leave satisfied, hearts warmed witli peace and hope . . . the Little Chapel ' s best gift. WOUNDED IN ACTION (Conihiued from page Sl-i) guilt from my mind.

When the ights were turned off, the two iat on their beds, still without iaying a word. Hank finished irst, yet sat nuitionless. Donna ooked at the dark profile, and or the first time felt lost and itrange. Hank, she ventured, did ou really believe that fortune eller. Is that what you were hinking of toniglit? ' That.? Oh, no. I don ' t be- ieve it, of course. It was ust good for a laugh, that ' .s all. . unnv, liow you always try to ind a joke to everytliing, and lo your best to laugh off even he important. I laughed at Dot onight, but I couldn ' t give her I convincing answer or argu- iient. I don ' t agree with her, )ut still — it ' s something to hink about, isn ' t t} But Hank! You ' ve got to )elieve something. You implied I IS nuicli. How are you going to |;now what ' s right and what ' s j vrong.? That ' s just it. I don ' t :now. Her voice was blurred. ' Dot is right in one thing. No me is going to do all our think- ng for us. We have to find the nswer by ourselves, and I sort ' f think it will be in us, not •nyone else. We ' ll know some- ime, I suppose. It will be like inding the solution to the oughest algebra problem we ver were handed. Donna twisted the last curl in place, her mind a whirl of thoughts, fragments of argu ments that bumped each other .ind faded away to be replaced l)y new ones. You didn ' t finish vour story, Hank said regretfully. Story.? Oh, well, that wasn ' t such a good idea, after all. I ' ll think u)) something tomorrow mcirning. She wriggled under the bed covers, feeling the sudden cool- ness of the night .■lir rushing in through the now open win- dow. Past Hank ' s shoulders she saw the oak, and heard the whispered flurry of the leaves. She watched them as they wild- ly resisted the wind. Now and then, one was whisked off ' to somersault into the bottomless blackness below. Soon the ' would all be gone, and the tree remain bare until new ones again covered it. Interminable cycle, had it any ])urposer ' liat ha])pens to the dead leaves.? She wondered. Thev say eventu.illy they turn to soil and feed the tree again. Per- haj)s the answer lay in that simple process. If the leaves of the oak could speak . . . Heavy weights ])ulled down her eyelids, and she wavered between consciousness and sleep. In the dim interlude, she seemed to see a million leaves float on a swift tide in through the window, thicklv falling, burying her. Strange, she felt no fear. They were warm, somehow comforting. Their fretting murmur became a whis- ))er. Desi)eratelv she tried to hear, to understand, but it was too vague. Her body stirred un- easily, and her breath quick- ened in a troubled rhythm. Useless. The elusive whispers died; the tide faded away. She slept. DAEDALIAN ANNUAL ( Coiitiiiiirt from pafie : ' l 7 ) words.

Loelleta Carpenter was the disciple of the freshmen. After having her join us so faithfully in our work and play., we de- cided that a freshman staff could put out the best annual yet.

This is the page we have always held reserved to tel you about the many little incidents, ,funny and sad, that have happened while working on your yearbook. They are the small parts that make the whole of an incomparable year. | It actually began last spring when we held staff meetings! L ■ i 1 to determine the theme and discuss the approaches with no one c.„r. rr Muc T,A M« of US knowing beans about publishing an annual. By fall it SUE JONbb, tditor 4b i was outlined and several assignments made. When you came to school, we were here ready to photograph you from the day you registered. From that day o it was one incident right after another. . . Going to Dallas in the school bus with the beauties in the rain, working for hours photographing the Chapel in the rain and then having the picture come out like it was a clear day (p. 16), borrowing clothes with swiss cheese secrecy for the C. G. (Cover Girl shhhhh) , asking strange girls for their names and| telephone numbers and then, after watching them stare at us funny, telling them why - for j modeling , hauling huge stage lights for the Ad Building shot (p. 4), and perching on a wobbly ladder to line up the Modern Dance pic (p. 215), Lake Dallas week-ends with skunks and speedboats, sweating out the paper for your division pages, taking the Who ' s Who and Aggie Sweetheart pictures over three times, answering When is the annual coming out? a million times, seeking refuge from office bull sessions in the photography studio just before the engraver ' s deadline, flipping double headed coins to decide whether to cut class: or get some proof finished, getting into a lot of tight spots that we ' ll tell you about as soon as we all graduate, and the friendships we ' ve made while working together. All these moments and many more won ' t soon be forgotten. In the course of this year, the staff has covered every square foot of this campus so many times that even the tunnel that winds underground from building to building is not ou of its acquaintance. Two members came upon it one day in the Science Building basement while drying some negatives by the furnace. They say it is lighted and one can walk uprig; in it. Another campus discovery is that during the fall and winter months the sun never shines on the front of the Art Building. Hence the excellent composition shot of its ' ' derriere 12) Hardly an incident, but definitely a big part of the whole, is the panorama of friends whom we have met and found so very helpful. Each one has done some special favor among many that we shall remember - Carl for lending his car that day we were so desperate, Mr. Mac for helping us with the stage lights, Mr. Yeager for one little handy favor after another, Mr. Blagg for assuring us the book would come out - someday, Mr. Ford for moral support the men at the bakery for coffee and doughnuts on weary mornings, Mr. Castleberry and Mr. Sullivan for some excellent steaks for Lake Dallas, Bert and Tuck for our means of ' •transportation ' ' , and Mr. Loveless for the many impossible things he made possible. All these recollections and acquaintances we pass on to Sue Jones, your annual editor for next year, and her staff, in the hope that the incidents will give them an idea of what to expect, and the friends will help them enjoy it, too. Sue, there is no better work or fun anywhere.
