WINCHESTER, QUEEN MARY ANNE ELLIOTT, MAID OF HONOR Spring is here again. Yes, that's right! And we realized it fully yesterday as the May Queen and her court glided gracefully down Woodland stage. Gracing the throne for this year's gala occasion was a lass from Hayesville, Clara P. Winchester. Clara arms herself this spring with a B.S. in music and Spanish with which to face this cold cruel world, but not alone, fellows. Yes, she's married, darn it. Mrs. Winchester was escorted by her brother, Buddy Padgett. As her Maid of Honor came one of Marion's fairest maids, Miss J Mary Anne Elliott—soon to be Mrs. Bronson Matney. Bronson was Miss Elliott's escort. The senior court attendants and their escorts were Franquelinc Mullinax, Asheville, escorted by Donald McKenzie, Monroe; Suzanne Reagan, Weaverville, escorted by Dan Robinson, Marion; Elizabeth Colville, Bryson City, escorted by Tommy Selzer, Hendersonville; and Marjorie Holcombe, Asheville, escorted by William Penley, Enka. —Continued on page 4 McConnell Spoke To Science Cluh; Elections Held For Next Year The Rev.

WCCA, a member of the Intercollegiate Broadcasting system, was started by the students of W.C.T.C. in 1947. The station operates on a frequency of 590 kilocycles and presents a variety of student talent programs for the campus residents including neighboring Boodleville. SPRING FEVER By Charlie West Is spring sprung? The old almanac states that it has been spring for some time (it also said that the other day was good for fishing but I didn't catch a thing— I hope!) If the awakening of the young man's fancy that is constantly being talked about means anything, then I guess spring is here. I've been feeling the urge to "boodle" for some time now, but that isn't necessarily caused by the season. Several birds have been seen on the campus lately—ducks to be specific. Oh, I don't mind the rain myself, but I have a seven-year- old brother who wouldjike to see the sun. He says he has read so much about it. Am supposed to be writing on the subject of spring fever. Guess maybe it would be a good idea to get to the point. Before we have spring fever we must have spring so we will exclude the weather and assume that it is spring (wonderful logic, isn't it?). Webster defines fever as a diseased state marked by increased heat, and that takes us back to the weather that we excluded in the preceeding sentence. We have now assumed the status of a dog chasing its tail Let us then abandon the above paragraph and approach the subject from another angle. Spring fever, as it is commonly thought] of, is a state of retarded mental and physical activity, a marked laziness, and a tendency to sleep. But does that mean that it is spring at W. C. T. C. all year? The more I delve into this topic on which I am writing, the more bewildered I become. Definitely this campus has an epidemic of that malady. What can we do to cure it? But that brings another question to our minds: Do we want to be cured? I must confess that I don't care whether I'm cured or not and the sentiments of my fellows are expressed in those words. However, dear reader, do not fear death at the hand of this disease for we have our champions— the faculty. Undaunted they are carrying on the fight in our behalf. Using the weapons of longer assignments, more term papers, and louder lecture voices, they gallantly do battle. (Confidentially, I think they are just barely holding their ground.) If you have read this far, I now thank you and hope that you have profited by this study of one of mankind's ills, I can think of no better way to end this article than to just stop. WCTC Has $3,384,200 For Building Program Western Carolina Teachers college got the go-ahead signal on its huge permanent improvement pro. gram when the Legislature just ended provided funds in the amount of $2,044,000. This amount, added to the $1,340,200 provided by the 1947 session, gives the college a total of $3,384,200. The Science-Classroom building will be built out of this fund at a cost of $1,412,000, two new dormitories at $412,000 each, and a library building at $690,000. The extension of water and lights will cost $200,000 and drains, walks, and landscaping $30,000. The home economics practice house will cost $21,500 and the president's home $30,000. Converting the present classroom building into apartments will cost $50,000, building a storage warehouse $4,500, and laundry, approximately $40,000. Work on the buildings will get under way as soon as the new board of trustees organizes and the architects complete details for the buildings, which will be within the next two months. Two years or more will be required to complete the projects. Candidates Selected For Best College Citizens Plaques will be awarded at Commencement to the two students who are chosen Best College Citizens for the year 1948-49. Selection will be on the basis of scholarship, leadership, club participation, and personality. The student body selected in Assembly Tuesday two girls and two boys as candidates for the best college citizens. The girls receiving the most ballots were Susie Reagan, Weaverville, and June Wright Brown, Bryson City. Clyde Pressley, Speedwell, and Harry Corbin, Cullasaja, were the boys selected. The faculty has selected June Wright Brown and Dorothy Tilley, Speedwell, as candidates for the award. Clyde Pressley and Paul Monroe, Tabor City, were the boys receiving the most votes. Two students from the above list will be selected by a student- faculty committee as the Best College Citizens of 1948-49,
