CHAMPIONSHIP
Handy Is II inner
Serve! Volley for serve! Smash that
hall! These, and many other yells pepped
up the ping-pong tournament in Novem
ber and December of 1948. The winner,
Miss Antionette Handy, is a player to he
feared with her tricky returns, rapid-fire
serves, and rugged technique. Her rival
was Gladys Turner, another frantic
player.
Of the eighteen young ladies scheduled
to play in one of the games, there were
those who were ol’ hands at the game,
novices as far as years of playing are
concerned, and those who were betwixt
and between.
Now, after that thrilling sport episode,
the attention of all sport-minded fans is
turning to the basketball tournament.
Freshmen! Sophomores! Juniors! Sen
iors! All you basketball fans! Turn your
attention to the pending basketball class
tournament which is scheduled for some
time in February.
. . . Throw from center! Shoot!
THINKING OUT LOUD
Most women are more economical than
men think. For instance, where is there
a woman who will put more than 26
candles on her 40th birthday cake?
A clergyman in New Jersey, as he
looked over his large congregation on
Easter Sunday morning said, “I realize
that there are many here who will not
be with us again until next Easter, and
I take this opportunity of wishing them
Merry Christmas”.
“Don't worry” is a better motto if you
add the word “others”.
Definition of a bore: Here today and
here tomorrow.
How to avoid falling hair: Step quickly
to one side.
According to the latest magazines in
doctors’ waiting rooms, we are about to
win the war.
Money talks, but it usually says
merely, “Good-bye”.

Psychology Class
One day in Psychology class Dr. Eagle-
son was discussing the personality types.
He named and described them as as
ambivert, extrovert, introvert. After dis
cussing the first two he said that an intro
vert was the religious type who deals with
his inner self. Miss C., an attentive stu
dent asked, “What has become of the
convert?”
Packard Hall
While sitting down in a friend’s room,
one of the girls asked her classmate,
“Do we have to read the Divine Comedy
for English Literature tomorrow'"? Her
friend, D., answered sleepily, “No, we
read a tragedy.” The first girl then said,
“Do we read Dante?” D.H. replied, “No,
we have to read the Divine Comedy.”
FADS AND FASHIONS
Fashion Forecast —
Spring has a way of appearing sud
denly and finding you unprepared, so
you dash downtown and make a lot of
purchases that you regret later. Now,
we suggest that you use these last few
days of winter to put you ahead of the
robin. And to help you with your inves
tigation and planning, the following tip-
offs are given.
Fabrics are the headline news this
year. Old favorites, such as cotton, turn
up with sculptured textures, making them
entirely new and wonderful. Others that
we haven’t seen in years, imported or
gandies, mull, all-silk repps and gossa
mer-like tie silks, proclaim the excite
ment of spring. Among the new trend
setting fabrics the nylon seersucker taf
fetas and knitted ribbon lengths stand
out.
Skirts are still 12 or 13 inches from
the floor. Moderately flared skirts will
still be seen along with others that have
inserts for back interest. In general
though, we can say that the slender skirt
will be best for spring.
Prints will range all the way from the
smart and sophisticated kaleidoscopes to
the old fashioned ones with tiny crowded
designs.
Everybody’s going to call this spring’s
bolero suit darling. There’ll be a lot of
them in navy worn with white blouses.
On Campus —
The country wide acceptances of the
short, trim hair-do has influenced Spel-
man. As a result one question is raised
—is it most becoming on Pinkie Gordon,
Lydia Johnson, Eddye Champion or Mu-
rial Corrin? It’s hard to say.
Those shimmering, luminous metallic
dresses are no longer a “Sometime thing”
on this campus. They’ve been effectively
worn of late by Elizabeth Latimer, Bar
bara Peek, Joan Purvis and Jane Hunter.
Barbara Youngblood stole many an eye
from the players at the 1st Morehouse-
Morris Brown basketball game as she
strolled by in a pin-point checked brown
suit wtih a long smooth lined jacket.
The cold days brought Pauline Riley
out on campus wearing a forest green
coat with a hood and fringed stole.
We couldn’t help but notice Joyce
O’hara Sunday. She had on a burnished
bronze dress with a sweetheart neckline
and full skirt. . . .
and Alma Blanton drew her share of
attention in a creation of aqua silk that
whispered as she walked.
Jackie Creed was one of the most
sought after as a partner at the S.S.A.
dance. Wonder if her red and black vel
vet dress had anything to do with it?
Other people and other clothes could
he mentioned—such as that prussian blue
scarf that Marie Stubbs has, or the red—
red tailored dress worn by Jackie Hill . . .
but we’ve used up our alloted space for
this issue.

ARE YOU A GOOD ROOMMATE?
You really ought to know. But don’t
ask your roommate—she may not want
to hurt your feelings. (Instead, answer
“yes” or “no” to these questions. Be
fair; no one is looking at you.) .
1. Do you brag about your possessions
or social position?
2. Do you talk constantly of your heart
interest?
3. Do you always talk of your troubles?
4. Do you try to he boss?
5. Do you forget to pay half of mutual
expenses?
6. Do you litter the room?
7. Do you lack respect for your room
mate’s privacy?
8. Do you play the radio continuously?
9. Do you take the best drawers and
most of the closet space?
10. Do you pout?
11. Do you expect to he included in her
invitations? ....
12. Do you lose your temper easily?
13. Do you ignore her likes and dis
likes? ...
14. Do you forget to do your share of
the cleaning?
If you answered “no” to at least 8,
you aren't too hard to hear; 9 to 11
means that you’re a joy; more than 12
means that you are the dream roommate.
But if you answered “no” to below 7,
you need a psychiatrist.
VALENTINE DAY
One Valentine Day he gave me candy
And a big box it was too.
I thought it was the sweetest thing
That he could ever do.
One year he sent me roses
I thought that very clever
And nothing on this whole wide earth
My love from him could sever.
Today I got a letter
All filled with regrets and sorrow
He just thought he’d write and let me
know
He was getting married tomorrow.
Oh! well, who cares anyway,
I didn’t like that fellow
But gosh, those roses sure smelled sweet
And that candy tasted mellow.

The list could he much longer. The

hope, to let you know that we do have
a place to fill and that we, like the
women above, can fill it.
