Three leaps, two bounds and a sudden Jump sent Margaret Mai- lonce to tbe telephone and to the news that her brother, Tom, is home! He is Lt.-Thomas Malloncc, U.S.N.B., to be exact Well, - «t least it gives as something to look forward lo a peaceful weekend. Bui what'll we do in French? If I bump into someone else under the desk I'll 1mow it's one of the other four who sit-behind Margaret trying to keep from being seen. Another month has passed. (Hooray! one more to go), A flashy new honor list has been released, Margaret Rhodes and Juanila Franklin ore citizens again and Joe has a news sales talk. (Not the usual "How about a loaf of bread, a bottle of suntan lotion, or a bag of potato chips?" Now ho^ sav», "lUiii*—sW^aTfff-flSVOne dollar, please.") The Society Snooper lives through all this. If be didn't who would report Lt. Louis Hosiery's visit on the campus? LI. Hesterly, a former student here. had dinner with Miss Mabel Tyree Sunday. Miss Ann Brittain, a student at Woman's College in Greensboro, was also in the parly. The perfect hostess—Rebecca Lee—is still in a daze.

LaiiaiMga is a native ot Havana. Cuba. If all mysteries were as easily explained as this one, think where I would bo!, Atop the Empire State building, I guess. Why were Ruby G.

As Wednesday 3:20 p. m. rolls around, this column ends abruptly because that's the deadline. In parting may I suggest that everybody abandon their term papers, French lessons and typing assignments this week-end and make some news. "The paper must go :o press!!!"
