Mi-, Eiowell graciously assented and this li the result. >W»11 was born in New Bern, North Carolina, on March 6, 1901 at "the ungodly hour of eight in the evening." She was a tiny baby, weighing only three pounds, and was small for her age during the preschool years. She doesn't remember "what she remembers first". However, one of her first memories is tailing overboard a boat when she was only five. The WEter Was about twenty feet deep, and as .Miss Howell told it, "It's a wonder 1 didn't drown. If I'd been grown I would have." A year later while she was proudly wearing a new blue dotted swiss dress she went over- bo.ud again. She learned to swim in feme. Her father died before she was born, and an elder brother assumed guardianship of her. The toys he selected for his baby sister were not dolls, carriages, stoves, and china sets, but rather boyish toys like skates and Because she was so small, it was decided not to send her to school until she was seven. However, on morning about eleven the family found their youngest member missing. A search revealed that she had visited the school and enrolled herself. She ;r aduated from New Bern High eleven years later. She was a member of the basketball and tennis teams and was for tour years a member of the debating team( which never lost a decision. ) Science did not especially interest her; in fact, she says, "I was not very acedemic and my deportment usually kept me off the honor roll." After giaduating from High School she entered Duke University, receiving her A. B. degree in 1922. She took graduate woik at both Carolina and Duke; and received her master's degree fiom the latter in 1931. Before coming to Cullowhee she taught in the Wilmington High School and was chairman of the Research Sien.e Teachers Association and was a member of a number of other educational committees. At present, she is a member of a committee appointed by the North Carolina College Conference to investigate standards in laboratory equipment. iMiss Howell knows exactly what she likes and dislikes. Here are a few of her favorites: She has an absolute mania for country ham and potato salad, loves water (both to twtm in and to drink,) and is extre- Con't on Page 3 tournament by a chaperone.

Sawyer Is Elected Editor-in-Chief Miss Simpson Appointed Assistant Managing Editor. Tom Sawyer of Weaverville has been elected by the .Journalism Club as the new editor-in-chief of The Western Carolinian. He Hilliard Henson, who recently resigned this position because of the pies sure of his duties as I daily newspaper correspondent of the college. In his letter of resignation to the Journalism club, Henson i the opinion, that, due to the small amount of time that he had to ipend with the student newspaper, it would be to the best interest of all concerned for him to give this place at the head of The Western Carolinian staff to someone else. For the sam,. reason, Henson has given up his place on one of the college debating teams. Sawyer, the new editor in chief, is a graduate of Weaver 'College, and is a Junior at Western Carolina.
