Others still don't fight well. ts* ">*, THE 1961 HOMECOMING ENTRY OF the Newman Center paid a surprise visit on WCCs lovely first lady Mrs. Paul A. Reid during homecoming festivities that year.

The visitor later went on to the Brown Derby. » NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT WCC WASN'T REPRE- sented when havoc broke loose in Fort Lauderdale two years ago. Pictured are two Sigma Kappas (now alumnae) "hitching a ride" in the city of sun and fun. It is needless to add that the Lauderdale scenery was greatly enhanced by the visit.

A bouquet of pots and pans to her. Picture of the year.

It will eventually eat through whitewash. existance is secure However, if hardship does not kill you, it serves to strengthen you." Dr. Nagy stated that he was very thankful for his citizenship and that he was fully aware of the old Hungarian proverb that, "those who change Fatherland must also change the heart." The professor said he felt that is was necessary for him to become a citizen because he was helping to mold the minds of the future leaders of the United States. He stated, "when I sharply criticise America and Americans in class it is because I love this nation and what it stands for. I do it in order to attempt to prepare young Americans for the future struggle a- gainst World Communism. The United States is the only place in the world safe from Russia and it she fails, then the whole Christian Civilization will be destroyed. For this reason, young Americans must be prepared for this struggle both mentally and physically."
