Mr. and Mrs. Pryor are making their home temporarily in Winsdor, Virginia, where Mr. Pryor is connected with the R. F. Pyle company, engineering department. The gymnasium was certainly lovely for the dance last week. Bows are in order for the Day Students after all the nice things that were said about the ball room as a whole. Unique decorations of umbrellas and spring flowers carried the theme "April showers bring May flowers." The boys from Appalachian looked lonesome sitting out while others tripped the light fantastic. But then the girls couldn't walk up and ask them to dance. Most of the dancers stood amazed when Bronson Matney, Jr., of Waynesville sang. His voice is one to be remembered. Miss Albright had a beautiful corsage of orchids. She took part in the grand march escorted by Grady Howard. One of the girls from South Carolina liked Sea Biscuits's eyes. Zoom appeared to have a good time dancing with the other one. Mary Lee had on a new dress. It was a lovely thing. John and Barbara enjoyed themselves to the fullest. As a part of the grand march Vincent and his orchestra played our own Alma Mater. Porter wore a lovely corsage also. Jimmy always does whatever he does thoroughly. Alma did such a good job with "Tangerine" that she was asked to do an encore. Young Bronson Matney could dance as well as sing. "He will break somebody's heart gome day," said one girl. Sprinkle was the best jitterbug there. The visiting girl who danced with him was a good partner for him. Mary Jane looked like something out of "La Conga Nights". Her new dress was fascinating. She had some orchids which didn't arrive in time for the dance. , Tyree and Margaret made a cute couple. Those yellow roses she wore were pretty. Eddie did a fine job at the drums. He really can beat it out. The entire May Court turned out for the affair. They were introduced to the crowd by Mr. A. K. Hinds, who was a good master of ceremonies. Everyone agreed that the dance was one of the prettiest held this year. LEAGUE OFFICERS INSTALLED WATCHES- JEWELRY Expert Watch Repairing "YOUR COLLEGE JEWELER" RAYMOND GLENN Sylva, N. C.

A picnic is being planned as The Greatest Air Array in the World NOWJOR COLLEGE MEfU NEW OFFICERS' TRAINING PLAN * New Deterred Service Plan Allows You to Continue Your Education * In the skies over America the mightiest air fleet in the history of the world is mobilizing for victory! So fast is it growing that there is a place here — an urgent need here — for every college man in America who can qualify for Officer's Training. The U. S. Army Air Forces need Flying Officers and Ground Crew Officers. And many of them must come from the ranks of today's college students — men who make their plans now for the necessary Aviation Cadet training. Thanks to a newly created Air Force Reserve plan, men of all classes — aged 18 to 26, inclusive — can enlist for immediate service or continue the scholastic work required for graduation before being called to active duty. You must meet the requirements for physical fitness, of course. In addition, you take a new simplified test to determine your ability to grasp the training. A college man should pass it easily. $75 A MONTH DURING TRAINING Those accepted who wish immediate duty will go into training as rapidly as facilities permit. As an Aviation Cadet, you are paid $75 a month, with subsistence, quarters, medical care, uniforms, equipment. In 8 months you can win an officer's commission as a bombardier, navigator or pilot — and be well started on your way to serve America and advance yourself in aviation. Three Enlistment Plans for College Men Juniors—Sophomores—Freshmen May Continue Their Education 1. A new plan allows Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, aged 18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and continue their schooling, provided they maintain satisfactory scholastic standings. All College Men May Enlist for Immediate Service 2. All college students may enlist as privates in the Army Air Forces (unassigned) and serve there until their turns come for Aviation Cadet training. 3. AH college students may enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and wait until ordered to report for Aviation Cadet training. Upon graduation or withdrawal from college, men will be assigned to active duty at a training center as facilities become available. If the necessity of war demands, the deferred status in the Army Reserve may be terminated at any time by the Secretary of War. The new Army Air Force Enlisted Reserve Plan It part of an over-all Army Entitled Reserve Corps program short// to be announced". This program will provide opportunities tor college men to enlist In other branches of the Army on a deferred basis and to continue their education through graduation It a satisfactory standard of work It maintained. In case of necessity the Secretary of War shall determine when they may be called to active duty. ft Is understood that men so enlisted will have the opportunity of competing for vacancies in officer's candidate schools. This plan has been approved In the belief that continuance of education will develop capacities for leadership. (Reserve enlistment will not alter regulations regarding established R.O.T.C. plans. > MANY BRANCHES OF SERVICE There are also commissions awarded in ground crew service. College men particularly will be interested in the requirements for Armaments, Communications, Engineering, Meteorology, PhcCography. If you have engineering experience your chances of getting a commission are excellent. As a Second Lieutenant on active duty with the Army Air Forces, your pay ranges from #183 to #245 a month.
