Number 8 



Escaped Prisoner 
Talks On France 

Tells of Free French and 
Underground Movements 



MAIN SPEAKER 



Jean H. Steck, chairman of com- 
mittees of France Forever, Free 
French movement in America, out- 
lined the activities of the Free 
French under General DeGaulle in 
an address delivered at Armstrong 
May 20. 

"General DeGaulle is the leader 
of all French resistance," said Mr. 
Steck. "It was he who picked up 
the French flag after the disgrace 
of 1940." 

Since the Free French movement 
was first organized in England im- 
mediately after the fall of Franco, 
the army of DeGaulle has grown 
until in November of 1942 it num- 
bered 100,000 men, with a navy of 
more than 100 ships. Parts of this 
army rendered great assistance to 
the Allies in the North African 
Campaign. 

Until recently, one of the great- 
est obstacles to a more effective 
French resistance was the lack of 
cooperation between DeGaulle and 
Staler*] Giraud, French comman- 
der in North Africa. This diffi- 
culty was due to a few minor 
points «n which the two comman- 
ders disagreed. "One cannot ex- 
pect two men to arrange in u few 
weeks the future of a country such 
as France," he said. 

Mr. Stack also spoke of the un- 
derground activities inside France. 
He stated that there are eight 
major underground movements, 
some having as many as tw f o mil- 
lion members. There are a num- 
ber of underground newspapers. 

Although circulation ir limited, 

each copy is read by an average 
of 30 to 40 people. Thus, through 
the underground press. Franc? 
knows what is going on. 

Before the outbreak of the war 
in 1939, Mr. Steck was an official 
of a French tourist bureau in New 
York. During the war he served 
as an army reservist in France un- 
til May 1940, when he was cap- 
tured by the Germans. He escaped 
and made his way through occu- 
pied France to North Africa, and 
from there to the United States. 
At present he is very active in lec- 
turning and recruiting members 
for France Forever.

RECEPTION FOR 

SOPHS MAY 5 



GIVEN IN THEIR HONOR 
BY MISS NEWTON 



School Shows Marked 
Success In Bond Drive 

Edel and Thorpe Awarded 
Prizes for Highest 
Totals 



Armstrong sold a totaal of $41,- 
579.75 worth of bonds in the re- 
cent War Bond Drive held during 
the month of May, it was announc- 
ed by Acting President Foreman 
M. Hawes. 

Because her team sold the great- 
est amount of bonds, $13,851worth, 
Virginia Edel received a five dollar 
award. The prize of five dollars 
for the highest individual amount 
was given to Kathleen Thorpe, who 
sold $11,775 worth. 



A reception for the graduating 
class of '43 was given by Miss 
Benny Jane Newton on Wednes- 
day, May 5, in the Faculty Room. 
The sophomores were to present 
themselves between the hours of 
five and seven, but everyone knows 
that the hour w r hen the rush comes 
is six o'clock. Almost all of the 
sophomores were able to come at 
some time in the evening and en- 
joyed themselves immensely. 

Some of the Faculty members' 
wives were present. Among those 
were Mrs. W. Orson Beecher, Mrs. 
Foreman M. Hawes and Mrs. Reu- 
ben W. Holland. Miss Marjorie 
Mosely and Miss Helen Woodward 
were also present to make the 
sophomores feel at home. 

The receiving line was composed 
of Miss Benny Jane Newton, Miss 
Mary Newton, and Mrs. Alvin L. 
McLendon, Jr. Those who were 
serving were Misses Helen Salas, 
Jean Mallard, Patricia Littlefield, 
Rose Yarn and Jessie Vannerson. 
Of course those working behind the 
scene in the kitchen must not be 
forgotten. They were Misses Har- 
riet Kanter, Betty Griner and 
Helen Wolfe. 

A never to be fcrgotti'i I;. :Hont 
must be mentioned now. Hero 
were all the Sophs, so dressed and 
so formal, talking in quiet and 
subdued tones. All of a sudden 
there was heard a loud crash, fol- 
lowed by a giggle. It was only 
Helen Wolfe, sitting down on the 
steps in the lobby after she had 
broken a cup. After that per- 
formance everyone began to feel 
swell and the reception came to a 
reluctant end. 



Soph Banquet 

To Be June 5 

Silver A's Will Be 
Awarded 



A large number of alumni, as 
well as the faculty and members 
of the present freshman and 
sophomore classes, are expected to 
attend the annual sophomore- 
alumni luncheon which will be held 
June 5 at 2 o'clock in the Gold 
Room of the Hotel DeSoto. 

Mark Johnson, alumni president, 
will preside and Municipal Court 
Judge Emanuel Lewis will be the 
guest speaker. Members of Alpha 
Lambda Sigma will be presented 
with silver A's and introduced to 
alumni and students present. Jean 
Dukes, outstanding sophomore, will 
receive a silver loving cup. 

Plans are also in progress to 
make pictures of all graduating 
classes of the college since 1936. 
The pictures will be available to 
all who attend the luncheon. Lists 
of all students now in the armed 
forces will be distributed. As is 
customary, election of officers for 
the alumni society for the coming 
year will be held at the luncheon. 



Russia Described 
By Army Private 

Discusses Agriculture, 
Housing, Industry 

At a recent assembly, the stu- 
dents of Armstrong had the un- 
usual privilege of hearing Private 
First Class David Ostrinsky speak 
about the economic, political, and 
social set-up in present day Rus- 
sia. Private Ostrinsky was born 
and spent the first nine years of 
his life in Russia. He was a gradu- 
ate of Columbia University. Before 
the w T ar, he conducted tours of 
professors and students through 
Russia. 

He is now stationed at Hunter 
Field where he has been giving 
orientation lectures, discussing the 
background of the present war. 

One of the most interesting 
points was his description of the 
way a Russian family lives. The 
rooms in a Russian house are ex- 
tremely large, and in the thirties 
housing became such a problem 
that people were forced to shar^ 
their apartments. Mr. Ostrinsky 
had rented a room and one day 
came in to find it had been occu- 
pied by the family of the man who 
had rented it to him. There was 
no place for them to go, * \ Mr. 
O -trirsky hat 1 one corner b . the 
iiiemo had «no< .\ , and the ; »- red- 
headed son Peter had a third cor- 
ner. They lived in this manner 
in perfect harmony for several 
months. 

Private Ostrinsky not only knew 
his subject well, but he presented 
it in a most interesting manner. 
One of the very instructive topics 
discussed by Private Ostrinsky was 
the system of collective fanning 
sponsored by the Soviet Five Year 
Plan. He also gave his audience 
a much clearer idea of religious 
conditions in Soviet Russia. He 
told of the place held by men and 
women in the professions and gave 
a very graphic picture of the 
courts of the U. S. S. R. 

Private Ostrinsky was kind 
enough to answer a great number 
of questions asked by interested 
students and faculty members. 
There were so many questions, in 
fact, that the assembly period was 
extended so that everyone might 
ask about subjects especiallly in- 
teresting to them.

Armstrong is experiencing a wartime 
lull in actvity. The clubs no longer meet reg- 
ularly. No one seems to have enough 
interest in the sports activities of the hand- 
full of boys who are left to watch a Softball 
game. Very few, other than a frantic, half- 
wild editor, seem to care whether the Ink- 
well goes to press or not. 

Under such conditions a school cannot 
properly function, for to do so it must be 
more than a mere knowledge giver. It should 
be the center of everything the student does. 

This situation represents a challenge to 
the women of Armstrong, for they are the 
ones on whom the responsibility rests. The 
male student belongs to a fast diminishing 
race, and by Fall will be practically non- 
existant. The co-ed is now in supreme com- 
mand. 

This is the woman's chance to show her 
worth. She must now prove herself able 
(if possible) to carry on without masculine 
inspiration. She will do so if she keeps Arm- 
strong a lively, up-to-date school, even 
though the boys are gone. 
How about it, girls? 



Do you feel qualified to vote? The 18 
year old vote law, if passed, would apply to 
the great majority of us at Armstrong. 

Voting is both a privilege and a respon- 
sibility. No one who does not cast his bal- 
lot conscientiously at every election deserves 
the freedom which sane voting protects. A 
political candidate should be chosen, not for 
the pleasant sound of his voice or the color 
of his suspenders, but for sound political 
platform and a clean record in past offices. 
Reason, not emotion, should decide one's 
vote. 

If the 18 year amendment becomes a law, 
the people of this state will have shown an 
unprecedented faith in Georgia youth. We 
must not let them down. 



President's Message 




At present there is probably not one college or university 
in this country with a normal scholastic and student activity 
program for civilians. School officials have done their best 
to keep such programs as near normal as possible, and stu- 
dents and faculties have in most cases adjusted quickly to 
the changed conditions. 

With the exception of those colleges training army or 
navy units, all have suffered serious reductions in student pop- 
ulations. For instance the New York Times recently report- 
ed that Dartmouth with a normal enrollment of 2,400 male 
undergraduates has at present 075, a reduction of about 72%. 
In general, the shrinkage in the number of students in indi- 
vidual colleges has varied from 40 to 75 percent. This condi- 
tion will continue until the war is won. 

Here at Armstrong during this school year we have had 
approximately one-half as many students each quarter as 
were enrolled in corresponding quarters three years ago. 
We have tried to offer as many courses as possible which con- 
tributed directly to the war training of men and women and 
to keep our college activities as nearly normal as we could 
under the circumstances. The student-ibody and faculty have 
been very helpful in this respect, and I think that we have 
achieved a measure of success. 

It is impossible to predict with any accuracy what the 
enrollment will be in September. However, according to pres- 
ent indications, it seems unlikely that the student body will 
be any smaller than it was last September, and there are 
some reasons to believe that it might be somewhat larger. We 
are adequately financed and I think that we are justified in 
expecting the 1943-44 school year to be a reasonablv successful 
one. 

I take this occasion to thank each of you for the many 
ways in which you have been helpful during this year of 
many changes. My best wishes go with you all. 

FOREMAN M. HA WES. 



At various times during the year we 
have seen almost all the boys of Armstrong 
whisked off to serve Uncle Sam. In serving 
him they are doing a personal favor for each 
of us who are still in school. Each of us feels 
that we should show our personal apprecia- 
tion for them. 

It takes a very few minutes to write a 
letter and fewer still to read one. Yet it can 
be of infinite value in assuring a soldier that 
you are thinking of him. 

The mailing addresses of all of Arm- 
strong's fighting men are on file in the office. 
Let's write each of them a letter— today. 



A Letter from Kestler 

The following letter was received by Ida Cottingham from Charles 
Island's C mer SH ****** & ^ MadneS at Parrh 

Dear Ida: 

Sorry my reply to your letter was delayed by the fact that 
I was working on field problems when it was forwarded from 
Parris Island. Damn that place. 

As for the feature article on life in the Marines, I must plead 
that I m so busy Hying it that I can't even think about it-to say 
nothing of writing about it. "Our day- lasts from 5 a. m. to 10 
P. m My spare time I spent whittling down my belt so that the 
regulat.on tab of three inches is exposed. So far I've managed 
to keep pace with my diminishing waistline, but another maneuver

Needless to say I was pleased to learn that Armstrong stu- 
dents remember me. Will you please give my best regards to 
faculty and students and tell those dope-fiends who haunt the 
slop-chute across the street that I had two cokes during eight 
week, of boot camp. Conditions are somewhat better in Candi- 
date s Class, from which I graduate Wednesday (Thank God') 
into Reserve Officer's Class-where I will be exposed to ten more 
weeks of swab-jockeying alternated with the other and more stren- 
uous activities associated with combat training.

Faculty Is Now 
Greatly Changed 

Former Instructors With 
Armed Services and 
Other Schools 

Due to wartime conditions, a 
number of changes in the faculty 
0 f Armstrong have taken place 
during the past year. 

Miss Betty Bain, instructor in 
Home Economics, was the first to 
resign after the school year began. 
Miss Bain resigned to marry Cap- 
tain Bowman of the United States 
Army. Bllfc. Alvin L. McLendon 
who has attended Georgia Teach- 
ers College and Georgia State Col- 
lege for Women, has a B. S. in 
Home Economics Education and 
has proved very effective as in- 
structor. Mrs. McLendon has also 
resigned and will be replaced by 
an instructor to be announced later. 

Three of our instructors have not 
resigned but have leaves of absence 
for the duration for active service 
in various branches of the armed 
forces. Mr. Charles B. Kestler, 
Professor of English, is now a 
member of our "righting leather- 
necks. ,, He has attended officers 
training i ^hool and is stationed at 
Quant k- : Virginia. His English 
classes v re taken over by Mrs. 
Margaret F. Stephens who taught 
from 1935 until 1939 as instructor 
of English and Commercial Law. 
Mrs. Stephens received her A. B. 
in 1929, L. L. B. in 1934, and 
M. A. in 1936, from the University 
of Georgia. Mr. Robert M. Strahl, 
professo; of Finance and Com- 
merce, has a B. S. C and M. A. 
from Ohio State University. Mr. 
Strahl i now a lieutenant (j. g.) 
in the Navnl Reserve at Naval 
Communications School at Norton 
Heights, Connecticut. 

Our President, Mr. J. Thomas 
Askew, on leave in the armed 
service, is a lieutenant in the 
United States Naval Reserve at 
the University of Iowa, where he 
is instructor in the V-5 program. 
Mr. Askew had a Master's Degree 
from the University of Georgia, 
and was also an instructor there. 

Mr. Alvin L. McLendon, Jr., who 
replaced Mr. Charles Williams as 
professor of Mathematics and 
Physics, has a B. S. E. from Geor- 
gia Teachers College and M. A. 
from Peabody College. Math was 
taught in the summer by Mr. Beal 
from Savannah High School Miss 
Helen E. Woodward who has an 

A. B. from Maryland College, and 

B. S. in Library Science from Pea- 
body College replaced Miss Mary 
Elizabeth Mayo as Librarian. Miss 
Mayo has returned to the Univer- 
sity of Virginia, where she went to 
school. 

Mr. W. Orson Beecher, who came 
to Armstrong last summer, has an 
A - B. and M. A. from Emory Uni- 
versity and an M. A. from Uni- 
versity of Georgia. Mr. Beecher is 
Professor of Spanish and History. 

Dr. Everett L. Bishop, professor 
°f Biology, came to Armstrong in 
September, 1942. Dr. Bishop has 
& n A. B. and JVL S. from Emory 
University and a Ph. D. from 
State University of Iowa. 

One of our most popular new 
instructors is Mr. "Hal" Powell. 
Mr. Powell is the instructor of 
p bysical Education. His motto 
could well be "Do or Die" because 
af ter each class it looks as if he 
does and we die. Mr. Powell is de- 
termined to make men of the few 
b °ys left at Armstrong. So far he 
Has succeeded one way or the other.

Student Senate Has 
Year of Progress 

Set Building Up of Social 
Activities As Goal 



Probably one of the most notic- 
able effects the war has had on 
A. J. C. has been the curtailing of 
its social activities. In pre-war 
days when Armstrong: had over one 
hundred male students, believe it 
or not, the social aspect of the col- 
lege was at its height. But then 
Hitler went completely off his nut 
and here we are with all but six- 
teen of the male students in the 
armed forces. 

Realizing that this important 
part of college life had been al- 
most stopped, the Student Senate 
set as' its goal for 1943 the build- 
ing up of the social activities of 
the school and as a whole to make 
life around the college as nearly 
normal as possible. 

The Senate planned a series of 
Friday night dances to be sponsor- 
ed by various clubs and organiza- 
tions around the college. 

The first of these was in March, 
held under the sponsorship of the 
Senate. Its initial success was no 
doubt helped by a snappy Minstrel 
Show put on by Wolfe, Douglas 
and Company. 

Since that dance six others have 
been held, all equally successful. 

During the winter months many 
students suggested that the "Nut" 
be re-opened so they could get hot 
lunches. The Senate put Bobbie

Miss Stevenson and the Home Eco- 
nomics Club did a fine job of stock- 
ing and running the "Nut" on a 
non-profit basis for several months 
but with the coming of warmer 
weather it was forced to close be- 



' cause of the dropping off of stu- 
dent trade.

The membership of the Senate is 
composed of representatives from 
various recognized organizations 
of the College and it is their duty

In a city like ours the college is 
usually the center of interest. Peo- 
ple look with amusement on many 
of the queer things those crazy col- 
lege students do. They would even 
be disappointed if we did act like 
other normal human beings. 

The other day, though, people 
walking along the outside thought 
that we had gone back to our kin- 
dergarten days. From the win- 
dows of the Home-Ec Lab came 
sounds of childrcns' voices singing 
"Farmer in the Dell", "Tisket a 
Tasket" and "London Bridge". 
Yes, if you could have peeked into 
the lab you would have seen grown- 
up college students playing with 
the children from the Children's 
Home. 

Harriet Kanter decided to give 
a kid's party and kindly invited 
the little ones from the Children's 
Home. All the girls came down 
and tried to show the children a 
good time. Helen Paderewsky took 
them up on the roof and they were 
more than a little impressed. 

Perhaps the favorite games were 
Pinning on the Donkey's Tail and 
Musical Chairs. 

The "party", though, was the ice 
cream and cake. 

The table was beautiful. In the 
center was a merry-go-round made 
of animal crackers and crepe pa- 
per. Green and yellow crepe pa- 
per streamers were fastened from 
the light to each individual plate. 
Suckers dressed as dolls were used 
for favors. Pop-corn balls, animal 
crackers, and candy were served in 
addition to the ice cream and cake. 

The question is, who had the 
most fun — the girls or their guests?

Summer Session 
Begins June 12 

Variety of Courses Offer- 
ed In Two Six Week 
Terms 



THE INKWELL 
THE INKWELL STAFF 



In spite of the heat that con- 
fronts Savannahians this summer, 
Armstrong has announced the open- 
ing of its second summer school. 
The first term will be extended 
from June 12 to July 21 and the 
second from July 21 to August 28. 
For one subject there will be a 
fee of $15 and for each additional 
course there will be an additional 
ten dollar fee. Laboratory fees 
will range from $2.50 to $5.00. 

Classes will start at 8:45 and 
will run on the same schedule as 
usual. Many interesting and prac- 
tical courses will be offered to the 
students. 

A course in Human Biology will 
be offered in two parts and each 
gives five quarter hours credit. 
The first part is a course consist- 
ing of the general principles of 
biology as applied to the human 
organism. The latter half is a 
study of racial aspects of biology. 
It is divided into four phases: 
public health, hygiene and sanita- 
tion, reproduction, heredity and eu- 
genics, and evolution. 

The usual freshman college 
course in general chemistry will 
be offered along with the course in 
quantitative analysis. The first 
gives six quarter hours credit for 
each course and the other is one 
course of six quarter hours. 

A survey of recent English lit- 
erature, from the beginning of ro- 
manticism to the present time, will 
be the only course offered by the 
English department. It is to be 
offered during the first term and 
gives credit for five quarter hours 
of work. 

The Home Economics depart- 
ment is offering courses in nutri- 
tion, clothing and sociology. Each 
gives credit for five quarter hours. 

There are to be two courses of 
physics offered to the students. One 
is pre-induction physics outlined 
by the U. S. Department of Edu- 
cation and is offered for those stu- 
dents who anticipate a call from 
the army or navy. The other is a 
course in nautical or air naviga- 
tion to prepare for entry into the 
armed services. 

Three courses in mathematics 
will be offered: spherical trigo- 
nometry and the mathematics of 
aviation, freshman mathematics, 
and college algebra. Each will 
give five quarter hours credit. 
The first course is especially use- 
ful for the navigator and pilot or 
ground crewmen in the army or 
navy air forces; the second, a re- 
view of elementary algebra, trigo- 
nometry, statistical mathematics, 
math of finance and a small 
amount of the mathematics of avi- 
ation; and the third is a very 
thorough course in intermediate 
algebra of college level. 

Courses in Spanish will also be 
offered this summer. There will 
be two courses designed to take 
the beginner over the fundamentals 
of Spanish grammar, to build basic 
vocabularies, and to teach essen- 
tials of reading, writing and speak- 
ing the Spanish language. Another 
consists of a thorough review and 
elaboration of grammar while the 
third will be an advanced reading 
course relating to the historical,

Foibles of Fashion 

By "NETA" LASKY 
and 

"DAFFY" ROBERTS 
In past days it wasn't fashion- 
able to talk about the quality of 
material, but now everyone checks 
the wool content of a fabric, and 
worries about its wearing qualities. 
"Absence makes the heart grow 
fonder" evidently applier to fa- 
miliar clothing materials, too. 

The subject of hats can be dis- 
cussed first in relation to the long 
wearing advantages. Hats used 
to be made to put the finishing 
touch on a coiffeur, but now women 
have less and less time to fuss. 
The little Dutch hats placed just 
back of the hairline, and curled 
outward at the sides stand on their 
own in attractiveness. There is 
also the skull cap with a tassel 
or with discs tumbling over one 
side. Some of you may like the 
tight fitting helmet style which is 
being worn a lot lately. However, 
at the reception given for the soph- 
omores there were many hats made 
with these essentials, a veil, a 
bunch of flowers and some form 
of attachment to the head. If you 
saw Kitty Thorpe or Bobbie Ste- 
phenson at the reception, you know 
what we mean. 

Suits are made of every possible 
fabric you can think of from a 
shantung, which tailors beautiful- 



commercial, and cultural life of the 
people of Latin America. 

History 41 and 42 is a double 
course of comparative American 
history and should be taken in se- 
quence. It is a survey of the cul- 
tural and political history of the 
people of the United States. 

Any additional course that you 
would like to take should be dis- 
cussed in the office. 



ly, to the gabardine family. Many 
girls are using violent colors for 
these suits, such as a scarlet red 
and a brilliant green. This un- 
usual combination is surprisingly 
beautiful. 

Pinafores are blossoming into fa- 
vor again and who can give a reas- 
on why not? They're almost lus- 
cious and mouth watering to look 
at. They remind your editors of 
frosted cupcakes and with sugar 
rationing as it is frosted cupcake 
is a desirable morsel, indeed. 
We've seen a ruffly pink organdie 
worn over a flowered pink chintz 
dross and white organdie or dimity 
ones over flowered chintz with a 
white background. Lovely to look 
at and heavenly to own! 

Shoes, these days, are great top- 
ics for conversation w T hether num- 
ber seventeen is gone or not. Many 
of you will be glad to know that 
you can still get brown and white 
or blue and white spectators. They 
come with plastic soles and must 
be ordered from out of town. 

Given a plain pair of pumps and 
various decorations we can pro- 
duce almost a complete shoe ward- 
robe. Here's the proof-tailored 
bows or rosettes for afternoon or 
cocktail wear, pom-poms for even- 
ing or the good old fashioned 
buckles for all day. 

Happy dressing to you, and 
much luck!

Fall Will Find Graduates 
Widely Scattered Group 



Will Re at Work at Jobs, In 
Other Schools, and in 
the Services 



Next fall will find our sopho- 
mores scattered all over these 
United States and perhaps several 
foreign parts. 

When asked about their future, 
several students gave one-word 
answers. Roy Rabb and Ken re- 
plied, "Navy." Roy elaborated 
however, and said that he wanted 
first to get a rest from his two 
years at hard labor. "Ginnie" 
Cornell answered "Annapolis" with 
a grin that threatened to divide 
her face in two. 

Many have decided to work this 
summer, but do not know where. 
Then, too, some know where they 
want to work. Harriet Davis wants 
to be a chauffeur at a shipyard; 
evidently she is allergic to brain 
work. Peggy proclaims that she is 
not going to do a dam thing, and 
intends to be a "le ech and live off 
my family." Kitty and Sue will 
take stenographic jobs during the 
summer and continue through the 
fall. The inseparable team of 
Daffy and Neta want twin posi- 
tions in a Lab. We have their 
promise that they will try not to

A Memory or Two, 

Sophomores, Of You 

By MARIE LYONS 
Wasn't it just yesterday that 
"Ginny" Cornell and Allen were 
standing on the stage of the Coro- 
nation Ball, the lights were low 
the spotlight was shining toward 
the center of the stage, and the 
King and Queen were reigning 
proudly on their thrones? Then 
afterwards everyone was crowding 
around their majesties, shaking 
hands, laughing, all talking at once 
and in the midst of it was "Ginny" 
with tears streaming down her 
cheeks. Wasn't that just yester- 
day? 

Remember Carolyn Smith and 
her bridge club meetings held any 
day at any hour, newcomers wel- 
come and kibitzers beware? And 
remember Carolyn's favorite trick 
of bidding a "Winslow" just to see 
her partner go off in a hopeless 
daze trying to figure the dam 
thing out? 

Did you ever wonder if we'd 
ever have an assembly, just one as- 
sembly, when Ken W. Ife didn't get 
up and mention the ncial situ- 
ation of his belovo.l >chee? What 
on earth will we find to talk about 
at assembly with TTenneth not 
there? 

One of our favorite memories is 
the sight Bobbie Stephenson and 
her crew made the Ha ey plung- 
ed the "Nut' into a r?a of Super 
Suds. Sweater sin >olled up, 
barefooted, each with a rag and 
a broom, the members of the Home 
Ee Club had a wonderful tint 
slopping around through show- 
cases and refrigerators cleaning up 
the "Nut" for its grand opening. 

What are the girls going to do 
without Floyd to toko their books? 
He was always Johnny-on-the-spot, 
ready to carry their books or even 
carry them from the Armstrong 
building to Gamble Hall and back 
again. 

Remember what made classes 
so pleasant was just being out of 
them? Well, how does Rosalyn 
expect us to properly waste our 
time if we can't all flop around on 
the front steps and laugh at her 
jokes ? 

"Out of the fire of this past year, 
Lo, let no single heartache appear. 
But from the glowing of the 
embers 

These are the things a freshman 
remembers."

ft IDA COTTINGHAM 
Another scholastic year at Arm- 
♦ron* has passed in review. Upon 
Joking back we realize that the 
J. 11 quarter bejran with a bang, 
d that bang just continued to 
an v erberate right up to graduation. 
r6 The Spanish Club, sponsored by 
L Beec her and Mr. Holland, had 
' very successful year, giving to 
a ts membership a greater knowl- 
\ 0 f their Latin American 
neighbors. Several speakers gave 
very instructive informal talks In 
Spanish, and topics of current in- 
terest were discussed. The Spanish 
Club was instrumental in giving 
members a new insight into the 
character, language and lives of 
their fellow Americans to the 
south. 

Armstrong's Music Club made 
great strides of progress during 
the year. Meeting on alternate 
Mondays, this organization pro- 
vided a nni;' ceded facility for 
interested etudents to hear and dis- 
cuss classics i music. The pro- 
grams were made even more enter- 
taining whe'i members planned 
them in orig: ,1 ways. 

The Council on Foreign Rela- 
tions was very helpful in giving its 
large membership a broader view 
of current questions of interest. 
Highlights in the year's program 
were the sevcril enlightening talks 
made by v peakers. 

Probably the organization wfcich 
has had the most outside activity is 
the Home Economics Club under 
the direction of Mrs. McLendon. 
Especially arc fhe girls to be com- 
mended for v hard work in try- 
ing to make n success of the Nut. 
Besides this project, the girls were 
kept busy taking charge of recep- 
tions and Homecoming. To 
close a very ntful year the girls 
had a party at the end of the 
spring quarts . 

Delta Chi Sorority outdid itself 
this year. ^irls sponsored a 

Christmas ce for their new 
pledges, as \ 1 as several teas and 
tea dances. This was topped off 
by a wonder f nl Friday night dance. 
Sandwiched in between these ac- 
tivities were a farewell luncheon 
for Miss Mayo and several house- 
Parties. The traditional banquet 
and dance closed a very successful 
year for the sorority. 

Alpha Tau Beta also had her 
share of activities. This sorority 
°egan with a tea for the co-eds, 
Progressed through a bridge party 
and several other social functions 
and reached a climax by sponsor- 
] ng a very successful Friday night 
da nce. Alpha Tau girls weren't 
satisfied with mere social activities 
however, for the girls sold tuber- 
cul osis bangles during the Christ- 
m as holidays. 

So, in spite of war conditions, 
Armstrong has attempted to carry 
g, and we should all be proud of 
the degree to which we have suc- 
gjd. We've had a wonderful 
lr l of activities and enjoyed 
. n(4 m all. Yet Armstrong's organ- 
isations have cooperated fully with 
ne n ational defense.

Physical Education Class Is 

Feature of Year of Athletics 

Pre-Induction Program Included Football, Basketball, 

and Softball 



By GILBERT ODREZIN 

During the past few years it has 
been the custom of the writers of 
the "Sports Parade" to give the 
Inkwell readers, at the close of the 
spring quarter a summary of the 
athletic activities of the male stu- 
dent body from the fall to the end 
of the spring quarter. The past 
nine months here at Armstrong 
have been months full of athletics 
for the boys. 

With the start of the fall quar- 
ter, the boys immediately began a 
program of physical fitness at the 
Y. M. C. A. under the careful 
supervision of Hal Powell, physical 
director of the "Y." The boys, 
after a few weeks of calisthenics, 
began to realize how necessary and 
important it is to always keep in 
top physical shape. After a month 
or two of continuous working out 
at the "Y", the fellows soon found 
themselves in better shape than 
they had ever been. Many of the 
students who have since gone into 
the armed services of our country 
have written how thankful they are 
to have been in good physical con- 
dition upon entering the service. 
Therefore, all the boys feel that 
we owe a great deal of thanks to 
Hal Powell for helping us develop 
sound, strong and muscular bodies. 

During the months of September 
and November practically every 
boy at the college participated in 
the touch football games which 
were played at the Park Extension. 
In the last game, the Freshmen 
defeated the Sophomores 6-0 in a 
very thrilling game. 

The most talked about sport at 
the school during the entire year 
was basketball. It seems that ev- 
ery boy at the school was inter- 
ested in having a basketball squad. 
Many difficulties confronted the 
boys who were interested in form- 



ing a team. The main trouble was 
that the school was unable to se- 
cure a coach. However, the stu- 
dents decided to have a team with 
a player coach. At this point all 
the members of the team would 
again like to express their thanks 
to Mr. Holland for his swell co- 
operation with the fellows in help- 
ing them secure many items which 
were necessary to the running of 
the team. Tom Cone, a veteran of 
last year's team, was chosen cap- 
tain and coach of the ball club, 
and Lee Brewin, alternate captain. 
The roster of the team included 
Tom Cone, Lee Brewin, Gil Odre- 
zin, Roy Rabb, Nort Melaver, G. 
H. Isley, Leon Smithberg, Russel 
Reddish, Sammie Reed, Alan 
Rosolio, Clint Morris, Mel Seigel, 
Miller Bell, and last but not least, 
Manager Lawrence Sinclair. The 
"Geechees" entered the very fast 
Inter-City Service League and fin- 
ished in fifth place in the eight 
team league. In their first league 
game, the A. J. C. lads were rudely 
shocked by a very rugged Ft. 
Screven team and were snowed un- 
der by an overwhelming 31-8 score. 
However, with a strong feeling of 
confidence, the boys, on their next 
night out, against the Military Po- 
lice team, which won the League, 
showed a very great amount of im- 
provement, although they were de- 
feated by a 46-29 count. The first 
basketball game won of the '42-M3 
season came in an exhibition game 
with the Stubbs Hardware team. 
The "Geechees" nosed out the 
Stubbs team with a very strong 
finish, ending on the top side of a 
27-21 score. After this win, the 
Armstrong lads went on to win 
three more, taking in the 403rd 
Quartermaster team from Camp 
Stewart, the Union Bag and Paper 
Company team, and also the Hun-

We have been hearing a lot 
about morale lately. Our thoughts 
and feelings are as important to 
the winning of this war as the 
tanks and ships which our country 
has been building. It is very dif- 
ficult to define morale, yet we all 
know what it is and which things 
tend to boost it. 

Perhaps there is no greater 
agent than a book. Recently, I 
had a letter from a WAAC in 
which she listed several books that 
the army had provided to serve as 
"morale boosters." I was glad to 
know that we had some of them in 
our library. 

One of our newest books is 
"Journal for Josephine" by Rob- 
ert Nathan. Mr. Nathan toll- 
about life on Cape Cod last sum- 
mer, describing the patrol, con- 
voys, and gunfire. Underneath it 
all is a peace brought about by 
the surroundings. It is a most 
appealing story. 

If you are interested in drama 
you will enjoy "The American 
Drama Since 1918" by Joseph 
Wood Kruth who is the leading 
critic of "The Nation." It is an 
informal history of O'Neill, Odetts, 
Sherwood, Kaufman, and others 
who have made our native drama 
the most important in the world 
today. 

Ruth It Hall and A. Neely Hall 
have given much preparation to 
their "Home Handicraft for Girls." 
It contains a wide range of things 
to do with the hands: toys, clothes, 
p >pets, photos, parties, etc. Ther? 
are about 400 drawings and photo- 
graphs and it is very interesting 
just to thumb through. 

One of the most informative of 
our new hooks is "Appeasement's 
Child" by Thomas Hamilton. Her-? 
we have the story of "The Franco 
Regime in Spain." No one is bet- 
ter qualified to write about the sub- 
ject. He is a graduate of the Uni- 
versity of Georgia, has been a re- 
porter for the Atlanta Journal, a 
member of the Washington Staff 
of the Associated Press and also 
of the London bureau of the New 
York Times. In this capacity he 
went to Spain as Madrid corre- 
spondent. In 1942 he spent several 
months in Brazil and Chile as ex- 
change journalist of Time. Here 
he gathered material on work of 
Franco propagandists against us 
in this hemisphere. 

Of course we are all interested 
in what is to happen after the 
war. We also realize the neces- 
sity of making plans now. Mr. 
Condliffe has given us some very 
valuable thoughts in his "Agenda 
for a Postwar World." The ideas 
of his book are not all original, but 
are, nerevtheless, well worth our 
attention. 

Another book dealing with fu- 
ture problems is "The Future of 
the Industrial Man" by Peter F. 
Drucker. He tells us how and why 
an industrial society should be 
built as a free society. 

Wendell L. Willkie has given us 
the account of his meeting with 
Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, General 
Montgomery, General Chennault 
and other United Nations leaders 
in his "One World." Hp bring* 
out the idea that we must learn 
to live together now. It is a book 
with which every American should 
be familiar.

their good work by the student 
body and the faculty. 

With the basketball season over, 
thoughts were turned to the minor 
sports carried out by the college 
which included tennis, swimming 
and track. 

With the beginning of the spring 
quarter, the students turned their 
eyes toward the other major sport 
at Armstrong, softball. So much 
interest was shown this year in 
softball that the school gave the 
team a sum of money with which 
uniforms and other equipment was 
to be secured. Hal Powell, former 
semi-pro player and one of the 
city's best softball pitchers con- 
sented to coach the team. After 
almost three weeks of continuous 
practice the starting line-up of the 
A. J. C. Geechees softball team 
was composed of George Tabakian, 
catching; Hal Powell, pitching; Gil 
Odrezin, captain and first base- 
man; Bill Bidez at second, Roy 
Rabb at third base, G. H. Isley at 
shortstop, Ken Wolfe in left field. 
Miller Bell in center field, and Roy 
Hancock in right field, and also 
Champ Tunno at short field. The 
Geechees entered the Inter City 
Service Softball League and at the 
time of this writing are in last 
place, due to some very tough luck 
in their last four league games. 
Up to date, the team has played 
lfi games, winning 5 while losing 
11. 

The Geechees still have quite a 
large number of games scheduled 
and many believe that the wins 
will exceed the losses before tho 
season is through. 

Well, that just about covers the 
sport picture here at the college 
for the past three quarters. i 
have enjoyed not only writing up 
these events but also participating 
in them, and only hope that in tho 
future the students will carry out 
their Sports program as enthusias- 
tically as the present group of 
students here at Armstrong have 
carretl out theirs.

Here's some alphabet soup which 
we hope will provide everybody 
with enough vitamins about every- 
one else to prevent their having 
indigestion over their own publish- 
ed short-comings: 

Alexander, Louise— Turning the 
tables on Ken and wolfing him. 

Baggs, Charles— Loves to spread 
his charm round all the girls. Of 
course Margaret Williams is some- 
thing special. 

Bidez, Billy— Carries a picture 
of June Poindexter where his heart 
is — in his wallet. 

Brunson, Julanie — Deserves 
medals. How she has successfully 
waded through a whole school year 
without letting Armstrong boys 
through her defense is a mystery 
to everyone. 

Brown, Winnie— Loves to have 
Floyd Pitchier tease her about 
Ouyton. 

Cheatham, Frank— He and Mary 
Louise Key drinking sodas togeth- 
er at Leopold's. 

Cornell, Virginia— Sure does like 
the Navy. 

Cottingham, Ida— Made a sur- 
prise switch from the Navy to the 
Army. Chuck Bates is the lucky 
fellow. 

Davis, Rosetta — Says she likes 
men about 6 feet one inch — prefer- 
ably wearing the uniform of a Mer- 
chant Marine. We wonder if she 
has anyone special in mind ? 

Guest, Charlotte— What is the 
pledge you keep reminding Roy 
about when he tries to hold your 
hand ? 

ITardy, Betty — Says she surely 
does enjoy teaching her boy 
friends what to write her. 

Isley, George — Knocked out of 
circulation by Betty Hubert. 



FALL WILL FIND 



(Continued from Page 4) 
go to pieces on the job, but if you 
hear a loud report, that may be 
Daffy and Net a all over. 

Dottie will go on a trip to the 
North, stopping at Nashville long 
enough to attend Brother Lee's 
graduation, then on to Julliard. 
Carolyn is leaving June 5 for a 
ten-day visit with Lieutenant Bill 
Miller and his parents at their 
home in Colonial Beach, Virginia. 
Carolyn adds that she will begin 
work in September. Will that work 
be the launching of a career or 
household duties? 

Floyd's reply to the question of 
the future ran thus: "T will 
probably go to the Army unless 
Uncle Sam sees fit to let me con- 
tinue my medical course. If so, I 
will take my third year in Michi- 
gan and I will take my medical 
course in California." 

Ida plans to work, but states that 
she will do something more in- 
teresting later, given time. 

The State of North Carolina 
seems to be getting a majority of 
this year's graduating class. They 
are divided between the Univer- 
sity, Duke, and Chapel Hill, but 
Mary Oppen, Harriet Davis, Rosa- 
lyn Weiser, Lorraine Kahn, Ro- 
setta Davis, DafTy Roberts, and 
Neta Lasky may be near each other 
comes the fall. 



I Jones, Virginia— Still can't make 
'up her mind about Floyd. 

Key, Mary Louise — Waits on 
I Ken Wolfe to eat lunch with him. 

Kicklighter, Gloria— Being the 
talk of the school by putting lip- 
stick on Charlie Baggs' collar. 

Kolgaklis, Theodore — Claims 
that Math is his reason for want- 
ing to see so much of Janie Waits. 

Lasky. Aneta — Her boy friend is 
a poet in the making and we do 
mean in the making. 

Martin, Jane — Likes Key Comp- 
ton so much she carries his picture. 

Odrezin, Gilbert — W r edding bells 
soon with Mirium Sutker. Wish 
you all the success in the world. 

Oppen. Mary — is broken-hearted 
now that Robert Ricks is gone. 

Perry, Ann — While having the 
Navy Air Corps as a base still 
scouts around for local talent. 

Pichler, Floyd — Hurrying through 
his labs because Spring and Vir- 
ginia are here. 

Rabb, Roy — Definitely is see- 
sawing back and forth between 
Betty Smith and Charlotte Guest 
again. 

Rainer, Robert — Straining his 
cars and cyc3 to sec and hear the 
girls that take sun baths on the 

library roof. 

Smith, Betty — fa doing fine. 
Keep it up. 

Smith, Carolyn — Sees an awful 
lot of that special Lt. 

Tatum, Sue — Can't make up her 
mind between two of those cute 
Lieutenants. 

Tunno, Champ — After a whole 
year at Armstrong is still heart- 
free. 

Wolfe, Helen — Surely does lil;< 
to dance with BftECp Lft&tflfr 
Wonder if there could be anything 
behind it?
