Alpha Psi, the Home Economics

be one of the most successful years
in its history. This club, com

home-making, and in ways of im
proving that art, has planned some
very interesting and helpful pro
jects for the remaining school
months. The main project which
Alpha Psi has undertaken is the
preparation of a bulletin board on
personal grooming, personality
traits, and other items beneficial
to good character.
Some of the monthly programs
will be a study of boy-girl relation
ship, emphasized by a talk on the
subject by a local minister, a dem
onstration on proper grooming by
a beautician from the Carroll Beau
ty College, and a talent show.

president, was assisted in this pro
gram by Geraldine Kittle, vice-pres
ident; Betty Kathryn Harris, treas

Lights in the Night I
By J. C. LOVETT
During the course of my Journey
to Ft. Lewis, Washington, one
winter night several years ago, the
train on which I was riding passed
through the extreme northern part
of the country, the states of North
Dakota and Montana. ,
Unable to sleep, I contented my
self by looking out the window,
which was half covered by a dirty
green shade. At first I saw noth
ing, but then as my eyes became
accustomed to the darkness, 1
could see faintly reflected moon
beams, dancing across the uneven
wayside. From time to time across
the rolling plains, blanketed with
snow’, I could make out the out
lines of large silos, guarding the
comparatively tiny farm houses
which lay within their shadows.
I soon became fascinated by the
rhythmical clickey-clack of the
train, beating its way over the
cold, endless steel rails accompan
ied by occasional mournful wails
of the engineer’s whistle. Even the
frequent sudden jerks of the
coaches failed to distract my atten
tion, which was fixed upon the
things I saw through that window.
Every now and then, as my train
rumbled past little communities
along the way, dimly lighted win
dows pierced the darkness, re
vealing the presence of smalt
houses, which seemed to be cud
dled up for warmth and protection,
much like a mother hen and her
brood. Each light, seemingly star
ing at me, represented life, as in
contrast with the still, deathly
blackness of the night.
Peering over the snow that had
piled up on the outside of the win
dow ledge, I tried to imagine what
kind of people lived in each one of
those houses, which faithfully shel
tered its inhabitants from the bit
ter cold. I wondered what kind of
homes they were; what conditions
existed there? At some dwell ings
I pictured happiness, at others, sor
row'. and at still others, wealth or
poverty
About that time I must have
passed into a deep sleep, because
.the next time I glanced out the
window the train was winding its
way around a high,, rocky moun
tain, as the glare from the warm
morning sunlight blinded me mo
mentarily.
Although they are thousands of
miles away, sometimes when I
close my eyes I can still picture
that night scene, and hear the wail
of the engine’s whistle, and the
dhatter of the cars as they pass
over the rails.

Super-Duds
By BKVKRLY McUONALB
Recently there was quite a furor
on the campus caused by the mem
bers of the “W" Club. During their
initiation they certainly modeled
some unusual outfits for the col
lege girl.
Wasn’t Jimmy Cash lovely in
that pleated skirt? The kerchief
over the head, which barely ex
posed his black curls, also added a
demure touch to the ensemble.
Glendon Pruitt wore an adorable
beige corduroy skirt with large
patch pockets. “Red” Blankenship
was quite a beauty in that black
velveteen skirt that swirled so
gracefully around the ankles.
Didn’t Pete Causey make a cute
cheerleader! And A1 Stanford's
plaid skirt with the blue sweater
was all the more attractive with
the contrasting red suspenders.
Of all the young ladies, Tom
Brown gets the prize for the one
with the most artful makeup. But
wasn’t the old rule, “Quality in
stead of quantity” neglected?
It seems that the role of the flir
tatious co-ed didn’t last too long fo.’
the fellows, because they were soon
reverting back to male attire. If
any of them should care to try
it again, however, they would be
sure to want to borrow —Marion
Ewing’s beige and blue tweed skirt
that blends so nicely with her blue
sleeveless sweater. Pat Radcliffc
and Tillie Barge both have skirts
of bold plaids that are very pretty.
Charlotte Moon has an eye-catch
ing outfit —a yellow and gray
checked skirt that she pairs with a
matching yellow sweater. Jo Cro
mer and Ann Williams have sporty
corduroy jackets, although the
men might have some difficulty in
getting them over their shoulders.
New APO Members

Formal initiation for pledges was
held Saturday night, November 20.

vice-president of the National Chap
ter, who gave a short speech.
Other guests present were Presi
dent Ingram, who was made an

In the recent meeting of the
Fourth District scouts, members
of APO helped in making arrange
ments and providing chairs from
the College. APO members were
also ushers for the civic concert
held in the College Auditorium
several weeks ago.
On November 23, Alpha Phi
Omega held its election for new
officers. One week later these mem
bers were initiated as the execu
tive staff to hold office until Spring
Quarter.
The following is a list of the new'
officers and the offices which they
have recently taken: Lovell Rob
erts, president; Greene Williams,
vice-president; Ashley Morgan, sec
ond vice-president; Beverly Bowles,
corresponding secretary; Jack
Dempsey, recording secretary and
treasurer; Joseph Leach, sergeant
at-arms; Conrad Larson, alumni

Wonder Drug
The Girls of Melson Hall have
started taking anew wonder drug
which has untold effect on all peo
ple throughout the world. If the
world would take a whopping big
dose of this drug this old universe
would contain one happy and
peaceful planet.
This drug is known as a friend
ship pill—and this is the way it
works: Each week you take a pill
which contains another person's
name, and during that whole week
you are to be especially friendly
to that person.
Little extra kindnesses on the
part of all people would ease the
pain of a tired old world, and make
It a better place in which to live.
Maybe Melson has started anew
fad. If so, let’s hope it spreads
throughout the whole world.
The economics professor asked
the little co-ed what she thought
of the Taft-Hartley Bill.
Her answer: “I think it definite
ly should be paid.”—Daily Reveille.
