Worm's Eye View J The Alma Mater Growth and progress are openly visible at W. C. T. C. for the first time since before the war. The expansion program, which has been the goal of the administration for several years, got under way at last with the appropriation by the state legislature last spring. Construction of the football stadium has begun; actual work on the $50,000 war memorial will be started immediately after football season. The dining hall, which has been a source for continual complaint becomes completely modernized this fall. Cafeteria equipment has been installed, new tables, stoves and dishwashers. Perhaps clean dishes will no longer be home luxury. Architectural plans are being drawn for a science building and library. And in the future are plans for a school laundry and new dormitories. The increase in faculty is to be noted too, which, though only natural with the increase in enrollment, means new people with new ideas. Progress and a new order go hand in hand. With the new faculty members comes an expanded curriculum. B. S. degrees and teaching certificates are no longer the only courses offered for the aspiring freshman. Business administration and bachelor of arts degrees are becoming more prominent. Athletics, too, are picking up. No one can deny the considerable showing made by the Cats in both football and basketball last year. Yes, things are looking brighter at Western Carolina. The Alma Mater is rated in with the Southern association and students can be proud to call it "alma mater". New Officers (Continued From Page One' and Nancy Blanton as secretary.

They had a beautiful wedding. Bobbie Higgins looked for new faces—new faces wearing pants! Blanton's eyes popped at Good- son and summer found her completely fascinated. Will Bill Estes and Melba get married? or can he—. Don't give him another summer with John Beal and Sammy Beck or— Bobbie Dillard still gurgles over Benny Weaver. Jake's in Japan. Grif still thinks she's most "alluring" next to himself. The first three weeks no one got anywhere with Don McRainey. Then no one wanted to get anywhere—until Annie Lee Bauman made her "last stand" last summer. Only Grif could outrate Don! Let's call a halt in this reminiscing and get a new start. Forget the sordid past. Nice weather, isn't it? To an eventful year and scandal galore! I'll be on the spot to bring you the latest—in all phases. Until next time, fellows and gals, I have a parley scheduled with another worm (in football uniform) so cherrio, old things.
