It's getting so a per-son can't even dream any more without having a sneak prevue of the affair in order to get in that extra hour. Young couples don't even bother to come home any more after dates because there is a full moon until 7:45 a. m. In case you're interested, what this column is really for is to introduce some of your cute school chums to you, but since this space here had to be filled up so as to look right, I made this spe-cial introduction for it. If she's a junior, pals with Joy Weiss and Violet Ruga, tells ev-erything she isn't supposed to, and all in all, gives aid and comfort to the enemy, it's Gloria Clausen. Ev-ery Monday eve this kid is always missing for a date with that East crowd. Get busy, fellows, what's East got that we haven't? This boy's shy and retiring, nev-er in the limelight, wants to be anything but doctor, just can't stay awake in Chem. class, and wears the most horribly unconservative clothes to school you've guessed, of course, that this is Blaine Smith, our cheer leader. Here's another one: If she has gorgeous red hair, looks ravishing in Kelly green, is fresh from a shake-u- p with her "true-love- ," and just "loves" her brother, you can be sure it's senior, Edna Lam-bourn- e. Have you heard the one about the China boy? Well, it was high noon at the Mosque. The high priest was intoning, "There is but one God, the Mohammed is his prophet." A voice broke in, "He is not!" The congregation ' turned and among the sea of brown faces was a small yellow face. The priest straightened up and said, "There seems to be a little Confucian here." Who could this be? The tardy bell's rung, and teacher's praises are sung, but he's still down on the corner of Ninth South and State, and knowing darn well he's already late. He's blonde and cute, and sorta tall in a ?hort kind of way, dresses nicely, hasn't much to say, drives a car swell, but scares the kids all to pieces. You guess-ed it: Don Sandberg's the man. Did you know that: You can't write to Washington because he's dead, but that you can write to Lincoln because he left his Gettys-burg address. Dear Cubby: m f After extensive research, strenuous brain work, long hours of concentrated efforts in spy-ing, keyhole peeping, car window peeping, etc., T finally discovered the suitable couple for the Sweethearts of South high school. For the perfect little lady: Hair, Lorraine Johnson (blond). Eyes, Ruth Woods. Clothes, Beth Smith. Personality, Bonnie Jean Scott. Smile, Julia Teerlink. Sweetness, Beverly Brown. Sense of humor, Miss Sherman. Legs, Barbara Mower. Ability, La Rue Kynastpn. Figure, Ann West. Not bad eh? After careful observation, the companion recommended by Daniel for this charming girl was : Hair, Bob Evershed (when he combs it). Eyes, Ray Adamson. Smile, Hugh McLean. Personality, Keith Mendenhal. Physique, Clair Empey. Clothes, Phil Rasmussen. Smoothness, Kent Monson. Dancer, Jay Christensen. Line, Douglas Burgess. Voice, Joe Lewis. Wit, Louis Owen. J Leadership, Stan Jones. Isn't that the most adorable couple you ever did see? Looks as if Dan has made a BIG HIT with his DARTS. Notice to Mr. Dan Cupid: "Keep 'em flying." P. S. : Will you please give this letter to your little brother. One of South's popular young misses wrote it to him. Dear "Jim": "Time Was" when "I Love You Truly," but now I get foolish with "Blues in the Night" "When I Think of You." "Yesterday" "In My Reverie" the scene changed "Tis Autumn" "High on a Windy Hill" a "Handful of Stars" was overhead as we climbed that "Stairway to the Stars." "I Get That Old Feeling" that "This Love of Mine" will go on "Only Forever." "You'll Never Remember, and I'll Never For-get" "The Waltz You Saved for Me." "Yours," "ROSEODAY." Speaking of the Month Colds, common diseases, and "wash-da- y blues" make February the most hated, month of the year. At this time the snow turns to slush, and bright lights flicker on dirty windows. Despite February's bad record, two great men were born during its reign. 'About the time George Washington was born, cherry trees were ' preparing for spring, which was to make its entrance a month later. (The world never dreamed that little Georgie would "Remember Pearl Harbor" by. chopping down a Japanese cherry tree.) Funny, too, that he should be so looose with his money throwing dollars across the Delaware. But, Martha, his Scotch wife, made up for it by selling chocolates in fact, you can still buy them. About this time "Honest Abe" was born. Little was realized that he would astound the world by two great achievements: Leading the North in war against the South, and walking ten miles to give a woman two cents. The Boy Scouts of America have an annual Scout week set aside at this time. "If I Had My Way" they could have the whole darn month. Some sweethearts thought the month of February quite a dull time of year, so they organized a festival under the sponsorship of St. Valentine, a Roman priest (later St. Valen-tine was cremated at the stake.) But just like taxes and death, the month of February will come and go. Then, some sweet day, the scent of growing things will fill the air. Someone will cry out, "It's Spring." Then February will fade away into another memory. Southerners Sight Future Positions "To be or not to be," the phrase Shakespeare coined for his immor-tal character, Hamlet, has been changed from a simple interroga-tion to a concise statement,, "to be". Today's youth knows ex-actly where its interest lies and is making energetic attempts to bring about the realization of its present aspirations. Burton Greenwood, who declares he's "yearnin' to be a surgeon" is determined to add the eloquent title of Dr. to his present distin-guished name. The first air raid experienced by Shirley Abbott was via stork express. As time passed, Shirley came to the realization that pre-mature desire to enjoy more breez-ing about in the clouds, had devel-oped into a serious ambition, and today she hopes to become an avia-tri- x of the highest caliber. Ah, for the life of a fashion model! All those super clothes and a chance to obtain that apparel with a discount! Anyway, Gwen Kramer would like a try at such a position. Chum Camilla Smith thinks differently. Camilla ob-serves that the career of an army nurse not only gives one an oppor-tunity to serve one's country, but some of those new conscripts ummmmm, there's a future in that. Yes, Camilla is aiming at a career of army nursing. One of the countless admirers o f a certain George Petty, artist ex-traordinaire, is Gilbert Hall, who admittedly announces he doesn't intend to be a "petty" artist, but rather would follow the life of a commercial artist. 'Do You Know It All?' Aristotle, one of the greatest, wisest and most learned of the ancient Hellenes, once said, "All that I know is that I know nothing." One of his famous contemporaries, Diogenes, proved to himself and others that though a man may be superior in many respects, there is no one who is able to say, "I have learned all there is to know." The story goes, that Diogenes always used to carry around with him a gourd for drinking purposes, that hung on the belt of his dress. It was an exceedingly clumsy object and often-tim- es caused him no little discomfort. One day while wandering through the mountains, he ob-served a shepherd drinking water from a stream, using his hands as a receptacle for transferring the water from the stream to his mouth. Diogenes, thoroughly disgusted with him-self, wrenched the gourd from his belt," smashed it to the ground and cried, "What a fool I've been ! All these years I've carried this wretched object around with me when nature has already provided a means." As brilliant as was this man, he learned something that he hadn't known from a shep-herd. This "know it all" attitude unfortunately is most prevalent in high schools. The sopho-mores who are content with their present quant-ity of knowledge might be interested to know the origin of the word "sophomore." It is de-rived from two Greek words, sophos, meaning wise, and moros, meaning foolish. Sophos, he knows everything; moros, he knows nothing. In other words, he thinks he knows everything, but he really knows nothing; complacent pretentions, or complete assurance, coupled with crudeness and ignorance. Do you want to cause a commotion when that handsome man enters South's ballroom to-night for the Social Arts Sweethearts' Dance with you at his side of course? With spring just around well, around the air, and men's young fancies turning to well, to light flannels, now's the time to make a definite bid for ro-mance. How? Follow the advice of these fashion-wis- e bells. Elaine Weilenman will harmonize with the Valentine decorations in a downy white wool dress and "heart -- red" sandals. Perhaps she planned the decorations to compliment her costume. Taking time out from her worry over punch, wafers, etc., Beverly Smith has planned a gold dropped waist dress for the special occasion. A lovely navy costume will help Dorothy Pittenger, a dashing third-yea- r member, to dazzle her f friends. Blonde Virginia Sorenson has chosen a flattering navy blue print dress. Vivian Edman will be seen in a red silk dropped waist dress, while pastel shades and honey beige were chosen by Virginia Hammond and Evelyn Pay. Vice Prexy, Marva Tingey, has selected a dress suit of maroon velvet with soft white lace col-lars and cuffs. Joyce Tagg refuses to forsake her customary skirt ensembles. A navy skirt and white blouse topped with a tailored beige jacket will complete her outfit. An attractive coffieur, high heels, and an added dash of perfume will help all to make the traditional "Sweetheart's Waltz" truly a "Waltz -- of Memories." " i You9H Look Sweeter in a Sweater!
