SYLVA PHARMACY Cross Section Of (Continued from page 2) tion, etc. Full of dates—the historical type. I lly comes forth with the startling statement that the War of 1812 was fought in 1812. This and many more bits of such information constitute his repertoir. Goes wild at i^lit of a museum. In a library he sits in i straight Thailand digests the contents of The Rise and Fall of the Roman Em- oire. Very amusing. Mopes on parties and likes to reminisce. (Both sexes.) Class seven, the no major. Playboy, he is not hard to spot. Changes pipes every day and clothes twice a day. His bloodshot eyes drip with visions of olives. Never studies: he is at college for the social life. Appeals every quarter for readmittancrs and complains because he doesn't make the Dean's List. He always suggests the parties but can never be found when the time comes to pay the bill. It la very seldom that he associates with the common herd, except when soliciting a loan. (Both sexes.) And then there's the "cobber." I suppose this rambling could Zo on forever, but I will end now before I have to fight the whole campus. .•etarysiiip of the Men's House Government, the presidency of the iRC and the presidency of the 3usiness Leaders club. Majoring in business education and minoring in social sciences, Mike will be graduated this quarter. A member of the FTA, he plans to teach starting next year. One of the most unusual things about Mike's college career is the Cad tnat he has paid his own tuition lrom beginning to end. Trie people today who do such a thing are few and far between. Mike has been a representative for the Way. lesville laundry ever since, he has aeen at Western Carolina, and all .lis jobs about the country have oeen for the purpose of paymg for nis education. The Western Carolinian salutes Mike Plemmons. ?t student of whom we may all be proud. The Reign Of Chaos (Continued from Page 1) would be affected, but it soon became known that everyone on first floor would have to move sooner or later. It usually turned out to oe sooner. During the heat of the conflict it was very common to see girls in the hall cutting their toenails, putting on their faces, oops! makeup, or rolling their hair, depending on the time of day. To our great (fiendish) pleasure the faculty members on first floor had to vacate their rooms also. When we finally were permitted to return to our dens, imagine the horrible scence which met our eyes: dirt and concrete piled in the middle of our floors, dust over everything, large holes three feet Deans And Wilson To Tour England During Holidays Professor Ernest v. Deans. Jr., of the English department of Western Carolina 'I I lollege, is planning a tour of England during the summ. >n. He will be accompanied on the trip by Coleman Wilson, a student from Marion. They are scheduled to embark from New York on June 6 on the luxury liner Queen Mary. The purpose of the trip is to visit places with historic and literary grounds.. In the summer of 1947 Professor Deans drove the new Fairbanks highway to Alaska and then toured the United States on his return. Benton And Hartshorn Attended 14-State P. E.

Mr. Floyd T. Siewart, new head of the health and physical education department, and a number of P. E. majors and minors attended various meetings throughout the three-day period.

Handicrafts Offered In Spring And Summer Miss Mamie R. Brooks, art instructor, has announced some of deep in the floor (into which we swept dirt until they were filled up again), and the smell of a graveyard everywhere. However, the workmen were kind enough to cart away the dirt, mop the floors, and dust the walls, probably the first time the rooms had really been cleaned since the floors were torn up ten years ago. Then when the relentless march moved into the office of our distinguished dean of women—that was the best of all! Naturally one couldn't sign out if one couldn't find the desk on which one was accustomed to signing out (said desk having been moved into the telephone-room). Nevertheless, we were all glad when V-Day came and we were notified that we could return to normal. Well, I'm off to find another dormitory under destruction. FASHIONABLE TRENDS By Peanut Cotter Get out your bobby socks, girls. Winter is here at last. The recent concert gave several of the girls a chance to wear their new semi-formal dresses, and very attractive they were too. A number of them featured that back I'm not looking at you, Ralph, with bustles and bows, several were black, but there were some colored ones too, such as Sawyer's cute velvet. Betty Lou MacPheeters and Ruth Mincey both wore satin, very smooth in black and dark green respectively. One of the cutest dresses I saw was the one Mary Ann Padgett wore, with the cascading ruffles down the back; on her it looked good. By the way, has everyone seen that sharp-looking orchid dress Clara Winchester launched in the play, "Dear Ruth"? "Say now, that's all right. Clara." I'm anxious to see what the dance will bring out in the way of formals. I heard Mary Ann Elliott has an eye catcher of white velvet. That I got to see. Freda Arnold has a good-looking fushia taffeta also. Stag line to the right, boys. Speaking of shoes, which no one did, those new suede, crepe soles are making a bright splash on the campus. They are seen in all shades from bright blue, yellow, and gray, to brown and black. They're a nice change from the sloppy loafers, no offense, Robin, and dirty saddles, ditto Julia Ann. But, won't it be awful to have to wear shoes to match your sweaters? Does anyone know where I can get some purple 'uns? Spring quarter is always promising in the new variety of styles and fashions. All signs point to a big blue season and shorter skirts. For the latter the campus wolves will no doubt be grateful. Oh, I forgot to mention that many of the boys are still wearing those gosh-awful billed caps, in spite of, maybe because of, feminine protests. Too bad someone doesn't have a sale on stocking caps that can be worn over the entire face. Well, this was fun, but I must run and get a seat on the front row in the bookstore; I'm going to flunk that class yet. BARBER SHOPS Sylva, N. C. Cullowhee, N, C. her plans for the coming quarter. Handicrafts, which was in large demand, will be offered the spring quarter and both summer terms. This course, according to Miss Brooks, will consist of work in plastics, leather, wood carvings and glass etching. The students will be required to do actual work in the materials and will have a choice of the projects they wish to make. Art Education, which was taught during the winter quarter, was worked out for the students who start teaching in small schools which do not have sufficient supplies. Those who saw the exhibit in the case at the top of the steps in Joyner can understand what some teachers have to work with. Those units were worked out and made of paper mache, which is paper and paste. The Art Department has purchased some new brushes, paints, both oils and water, drawing boards and rulers. To those interested in art: keep your eyes on the exhibit case in Joyner building.
