Catamounts! Catamounts! Catamounts! At every ballgame of the year Margaret Young is "down in front" yelling the "Kitty's" on to greater glory and honor for the Alma Mater. She leads the cheer leaders! In case there are some new students who don't know Margaret yet, she is the tall girl with dark hair, a warm grin and an ability to make friends. She is also one of the busiest—she has her fingers into more pies at W. C. T. C. than Estis does! Margaret is an outstanding member of the Dramatics club. She has done unusually fine work in its last three productions, Skin of Our Teeth, Ring Around Elizabeth and Kiss and Tell. She is now eligible for membership in the Alpha Psi Omega, the dramatics fraternity on the campus. In addition, Margaret is the salvation of the P. E. department; she sings in the Baptist choir; she finds time to major in Grammar Grade Education; and she is always ready for any fun that comes along. All I can say for a gal like that is: "Come on, gang; let's give 15 rah's for Young!" This week the Western Carolinian turns the spotlight on the more than 30 veterans of World War II who have registered at Western Carolina Teachers College for the winter quarter. These men, who have fought so courageously all over the globe that free, democratic institutions such as Western Carolina Teachers College may continue to exist, have already I added to the campus an atmosphere of steady, quiet reserve which has been absent among the men for a long period. Already they have made an adjustment from the rigors of army and navy life to collegiate living. They have begun to take an active part in extra-curricular activities which should soon see them in the posts of major importance on the campus. One particular characteristic these servicemen have is the willingness to accept a responsibility. They have had a rich variety of experiences and they realize that to accept responsibility is to go forward to success. According to Miss Tyree, house mother to the men, the veterans keep the neatest rooms in the building. (All right, you other boys, get busy.) The servicemen are also making fine progress on the academic side of college life. They say they are here to learn—all other things are secondary. For the women students the arrival of so many extra males means so many more dancing partners. And, neighbor, that means something at Cullowhee! The Western Carolinian salutes and welcomes you, G. I.'s. According to an announcement by Miss Anne Hammond, chairman of the Dean's List Committee, the following persons have been placed on the Dean's List for the fall quarter. Carolyn Blankenship, Thelma Joyce Finch, Lynwood Halliburton, Annie Laura Mulkey, Nancy Potts, Helen Bird, Christine Finch, and Mary Long. Receiving honorable mention were Vada Lyda, Emogene Eddins, Annie Belle Trott, Mary Ruth Webb, and Brown Griffin. To encourage the development of all-round students, a committee passes each quarter upon the eligibility of candidates for the Dean's List, a special honor roll. A student becomes eligible for this recognition within the second quarter of his enrollment at Western Carolina Teachers College. To be considered by the committee, a student must: (a) Have made the scholastic honor roll during the quarter for which the selection is made; (b) have been active in at least one extra-curricular activity; (c) have made at least average on the General Culture Test as compared with the national norms; (d) have met the requirements of the committee as to: (1) social adjustments, (2) leadership, (3) health, (4) personality, (5) attitude, (6) morality. Meeting all qualifications for the Dean's List carries with it certain special privileges, which the faculty and administrative officers of the college grant to those named on the list. These privileges are voluntarily voted from time to time and may vary in different scholastic years. They are effective as long as the student remains on the list. JOHN JORDAN VISITS ON COLLEGE CAMPUS John Jordan, PhM 3-c, was a visitor on the campus just before the Christmas holidays. He spent several days at Murphy with his parents after being discharged from the navy. Jordan, who graduated from this college in the class of 1942, spent two years in Australia and the Admiralty Islands. He returned to the States last July. On the campus he was prominent in extra-curricular activities. He was president of the Western Carolina Players for two years, president of his senior class, a member of Alpha Psi Omega and listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." He will enter Columbia University in February to work on his Master's Degree in school adminsitration and organilation, he stated in a recent letter to Miss Mable Tyree. By BOBBY TERRELL Here it comes, girls, the $64 question. 01' Super Sleuth persuaded the men to let down their hair and give! Starting off the New Year right the males came through with their honest opinion on the question "Do you think the W. C. T. C. co-ed is attractive, intelligent and fun to be with on a date?" After this survey we're convinced that the men on .the campus are hard-hearted and I ain't just clicking my teeth. Some are attractive, some are intelligent, and all of 'em are fun on a date.—Gerald Lovin. According to who the girl is!— Terry Phillips. I'm afraid to say.—J. Montford Haire. You aren't catching me on anything like that.—Don Cabe. Yeah, I think they are.—Rickman. You don't want to quote me. I might get into trouble.—Shuford. I won't decide until I've looked them over. It's been a long, long time.—Oliven Cowan. Um-m-m-m-mmm. — Bobby Terrell. Girls! I never saw so many pretty girls in all my life.*—Bob Murphey. I'll say "yes," 'cause I haven't been out with any of them—yet.— Barney Barnhorst. Yeah. 'Course they may not be so intelligent.—Toot Hannah. They're right attractive youngsters.—"Pete" McDonald. *—The feature editor suggests a rising vote of thanks to Mr. Murphey. MR. AND MRS. J. HEDDEN VISIT IN SYLVA, N. C.
