ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS FEATURE 
BALLADS AND FOLK DANCES 



In the past month two picture- 
sque programs were presented at 
the Student Assembly. The first 
of these was a series of Old Eng- 
lish ballads sung by Mr. R. P. 
Walker. A Shakespearean pro- 
fessor at the University of Geor- 
gia, he is known throughout the 
state for his performances. 

Mr. Walker gave a brief discus- 
sion of the origin and develop- 
ment of these ballads through the 
years. "Lord Randall" and "Jim- 
my Randall" were among those il- 
lustrated. 

Miss Mary Louise Key played 
the accompaniment. 

The following week, a group of 
boys and girls from The Children's 
Home of Chatham County pre- 
sented an array of American and 
English Folk Dances. Dressed in 
peasant costumes, the children 
executed a number of partner 
dances, such as "Buffalo Gal" and 
"Hunt the Squirrel". The boys of 
the Home then did the "English 
Sword Dance." 

Mr. Sherwood Norman, Super- 
intendent of the Home, directed 
them.

<;erms of knowledge 

Much has already been wrtten about the 
advantages of a college education and as it 
has always been my policy to write about 
somethng on which much has already been 
written. 1 will discuss the matter further. 
It is my firm contention that a great many 
people are dubious about the value of a col- 
lege diploma (1). This is a grave mistake 
as anyone with an appreciation of the finer 
things of life must surely realize that if he 
possesses a college diploma as well as high- 
school diploma, they can be framed side by 
side to brighten up a dreary corner and add 
oh-so-much to the appearance of any 
room (2). 

There seems to be three main drawbacks 
to the furthering of education. 1. Lack of | 
finances. 2. Lack of ambition. 3. Cap and 
gown is not becoming. 

These problems can easily be overcome 
with a bit of logic and clear reasoning (3), 
in fact when you get right down to it they're 
really not problems at all. Because of in- 
come tax these days, it is to one's financial 
advantage to continue his education and 
avoid work at any cost. 

As for lack of ambition, statistics prove 
that 99 out of 100 college students show an 
alarming lack of ambition (43. So you see 
this is to your credit as Homer or anyone 
will tell you that "ambition is a grievous 

fault". 

This business about the cap and gown 
is a little disheartening. After careful analy- 
sis and long consideration, I've come to the 
ultimate conclusion that the only thing to do 
in a case like that is go to college but don't 
graduate. As I am one of those poor unfor- 
tunates who simply cannot wear a four- 
cornered bonnet, that is my plan. Avoid all 
required subjects, honor points and the like 
but above all never make over fifty in the 
crip courses (5) you choose to take. Sleep- 
ing during lectures and being generally ob- 
noxious in class also helps. 

By Idgie Bo. 

t. Especially college students. 

2. If flowered prints are preferred, kindergarten 
will suffice. 

& Being a college student myself, of course I'm 
capable of such. 

4. Deficiency in Vitamin D was also noted. 

5. For crip courses, I recommend another college 



SPOTLIGHT ON THE FAGCJLTY 

By MARTHA COWAN 

Pretty, auburn-haired Mrs. Beecher is a 
lady of many talents— housewife, mother, 
and teacher, and she docs all these jobs very 
well. * * • * * If you want to make Mrs. B. 
happy, just give her a book of recipes 
—it seems she is a little rushed for cooking 
time, and we don't wonder! :: * • * * Mrs. 
Bteeher has a flair for home decorations, 
too. She has her apartment done in in- 
formal style that is very attractive. * * * * * 
We thought we were the only people who 
made a ritual of going to Solomon's every 
day, but it seems we are wrong — If you 

want to see Mrs. B. at third period, just go down there. We guarantee 
she will be sitting on the third stool from the right, drinking a 
"coke". • * :! * • Mr. and Mrs. Beecher's was a college romance, hav- 
ing met at the University of Georgia — you see, there is some future in 
college, girls! 





Petite Miss Feagin has a very deceiving ap- 
pearance. To look at her you'd never guess 
that she possesses the brainpower of 
Physicists, Chemist, and Mathematician. Her 
pupils will vouch for her ability, though, 
because when they try to "Piddle and 
fenagle" with her problems, they find it no 
easy pickens. * * * * 1 Besides all her mental 
ability, Miss Feagin is quite an athlete — 
she swims, plays tennis, rides horesback — 
I'm sorry but we're too tired to go on! 
Anyway, you get the idea — she's very 
versatile. • :t * * * Miss Feagin was a stu- 
dent of dear old A. J. C. not too long ago herself; so we beg her to 
remember the slight plight of humble pupils around exam time! 




Lt. J. Thomas Askew, 
V-12 Instructor at 
The University of Iowa, 
requests 

To be remembered 
to the students and 
others of his friends.

MY DIRT 

Although most people are not aware of 
the fact, an Earthworm is a very romantic 
person! Of course, he is bisexual (1):, but 
he still likes to have company of the opposite 
sex on occasion (who doesn't) ? The Earth- 
worm prefers to do his courting on a nice 
moonlight night (again we say. "Who 
doesn't) ; so you'll have to stay up late to 
watch his technique (2): We have never 
seen the young of an Earthworm, but we 
think (3), the worm lays eggs. 

The Earthworm lives in damp, dark- 
places, and never shows his little face above 
the ground in the daytime (his courting, 
which takes place at night, is done above 
ground, however) until some mean individual 
digs him up while turning the soil for a 
Victory garden (4) : The Earthworm has 
no eyes, no ears, and no foots or arms; so all 
he can do is feel (5). 

When the Earthworm loses a part of his 
body, he just concentrates real hard, and 
bingo — it's back again. We are supposed 
to be smarter than E. W.'s, but we can't do 
that, can we? The worm builds his own 
bttle house by burrowing a tunnel with his 
nose (it is too, pink, Dr. B.), but we know 
nothing of the interior, because we're too 
big to get in. The dictionary (6), defines the 
E. W. as "any of numerous obligochaetou* 
worms (Lumbricus and allied genera) found 
m damp soil ; also a mean sordd person", but 
the E. W. doesn't know this ; so he just goes 
on being his sweet, unassuming self. 

By Eleanor Earthworm. 

1 Having both sexes, you dope! 
2. He really is entitled to some privacy, don': you 
think? 

That is a very doubtful statement. 
Usually the person ends up going fishing *8* 
said worm. 

This is also a characteristic of the Wolf 
we will take up later.

A lovely way to spend an eve- 
ning is in a smart short dinner 
dress. Designers have given us 
perfect loves with straight skirts 
for that oh-so-slim look, scooped 
out necklines and butterfly sleeves 
(if any) for bare facts about 
figures. For color, wear his fa- 
vorite shade (most popular are 
blue, yellow and green). You'll 
want a cover-up jacket for cool 
evenings, which, incidentally, will 
do double duty for afternoon. You 
may have noticed Savannahians 
are really going for them. WeVe 
spotted several at the Camellia 
Room and Remlers; also good look- 
ing ones in our smart shops. 

Headl ines these days come down 
from feather cuts to land in 
smooth, simple styles. The idea is 
for that "pedigreed look". 

Friday evening, the young of- 
ficers were quite agog at our good- 
looking southern gals. One of the 
loveliest pictures was made by our 
new queen, Miss Betty Hitt, who 
was wearing white embroidered 
organdy, the bodice was fitted and 
gathered on to a matching, sleeve- 
less yoke. The skirt was very full 
and flowing and the charming pic- 
ture was further enhanced by 
Betty's long dark hair. The cool 
fresh beauty of Miss Shirley John- 
son, freshman queen, was perfectly 
set off by her crisp, white pique, 
printed with flower 'n things. To 
add a Spanish note to the scene we 
found Miss Janl«* Waites very 
striking in her thin navy dress 
witli a full ruffle edged with white 



G £ettye 



lace falling gracefuly about her 
shoulders. Around the swirling 
skirt there were rows of red bands 
which cleverly carried the color of 
the red flowers in her hair. A 
hail of oh's and ah's greeted Miss 
Margurite Smith, and no wonder, 
her dress was the demurest de- 
mure thing we'd seen. Pale rose- 
bud pink taflfeta with a very intri- 
cate designed bodice filled in with 
matching net. Miss Martha Cow- 
an's nautical silk jersey gave away 
her secret that her heart's in the 
Navy. The dress was very unusual 
in traditional navy with wide 
straps doing a hold-up job of the 
fitted bodice.. 

Special feature was the short, 
red bolero jacket. Our real south- 
ern belle, Miss Susie Miller, was 
certainly getting a rush. Was it 
due to that soft drawl or that pro- 
vocative low cut white dress with 
a full sweeping skirt? Anyway, we 
like them both. 

The feminine charm of faculty 
row blended beautifully with the 
pale magnolia blossoms because of 
their almost unanimous choice for 
sparkling white. Charming ex- 
ceptions were Miss Shiver's soft 
apple green jersey and Mrs. Stev- 
ens spring-printed voile. 

Gee, talking about all these gor- 
geous gowns makes me want to 
go on a shopping spree (well, I 
can look — can't IT), See you in 
the next issue with the new things 
we find. 

Look your prettiest, w r e'll be 
looking at you.

Atlanta Journal Feature Story Tells 
Armstrong Co-Eds' Opinions OnMen 



"What the Armstrong Socology 
students expect in a husband" was 
the topic of a feature story re- 
cently carried by the Atlanta 
Journal. This article written by 
Miss Francis Howell is reprinted 
in full below. 

"War has not altered the inner 
workings of the feminine teen age 
mind regarding the opposite sex, 
recent information from Savan- 
nah'* Armstrong Junior Collpge 
indicates. 

Assigned to write a theme on 
her ideal man, each girl in a so- 
ciology class turned in a paper 
bearing a title .such, as: 

"Hy Hushand-to-Be, I Hope;' 
"My Ideal," "My Mythical Hus- 
band. " "WhatI Am Looking For/' 
Attractive, hrunette Mrs. L. G. 
Olson, their instructor, gleaned 
some of these facts: 

With the reservation that 'to- 
day's dream may be tomorrow's 
'<>rip\" one campus cutie con- 
fessed that she's always wanted 
her spouse to be a big "hunka 
man" — even on the hefty side. 
Another doesn't mind if he's not a 
giant but "he must have some 
muscles." 

If he is considerate of his 
mothers and sisters, he's likely to 
be a good husband, was another 
observation. 

WARY OF GOOD-LOOKERS 
One co-ed seemed to express her 
classmates' sentiments in her state- 
ment that "looks don't matter." 
"So long as he is neat and clean, 
his features are secondary. In 
fact, I don't trust men who are 
too good-looking," she added. 

After laying down the law that 
her man-to-be must have "black 
hair and blue eyes, stand six feet 
two in his sock feet, be slender, 
hard and brown, have a smooth 
chest and a flat waist," a blonde 
cutie confessed that if she should 
fall head over heels for a guy 
measuring a bit short of these 
specifications, "the only thing I 
could do would be to marry him!" 

These co-eds could hardly be 
dubbed as gold-diggers, because 
■ only three of the 16 even men- 
tioned money. One asserted that 
"money doesn't make happiness— 
but it does pay the grocer!" But 
a second one did demand that her 
"future" make at least $50 or $60 
a week. Still another declared 
that she'd prefer to marry her 
husband poor than wait around a 
couple of years until he has a bet- 
ter income. "But it would be to 
his advantage," she added, "if he 
could afford a cook — because I can't 
cook at all!" 

The girls agreed that the educa- 
tion, religion and the family back- 
ground of future spouses should 
be at least somewhat similar. 

THE LONG-HAIR ANGLE 
Oldsters who insist that teen 
age girls are simply jitterbugs in 
dirty saddle shoes and sloppy sweat- 
ers, will be amazed to know: 
three-fourths of the class desired 
that their men enjoy classical 
music. But. then, there was one 
who insisted that her one-and-only 
go dancing at least once a week. 

"I put much emphasis on kind- 
ness, thought and consideration," 
wrote a sweet-faced brunette. "He 
should make a good and wise fa- 
ther—adored by his children." 

"Although I'll go anywhere in 
the world with him," one loyal co- 
ed asserted, "I'd prefer to live in 
the South." 



Nine out of 10 were bent on 
choosing a mate with a sense of 
humor. "If a couple is able to 
laugh at all misfortunes, big or 
fittle, which constantly arise, they 
have grand prospects for lasting 
happiness. 

"I want my husband to have the 
same ideas as I do about what is 
right and wrong. We should agree 
on the way we spend our leisure 
time and enjoy similar sports. He 
must be tolerant of the opinions 
of others and kind to everyone." 
These were standards mentioned 
by one teen-ager. 

SUPER-DUPER MAN 
In a neat, feminine script, an- 
other girl wrote she would "go 
for" a man who 'has an easy dis-' 
position, witty but not sarcastic, 
with some temper but who will not 
hold a grudge; who will not act 
too, too superior and look down his 
nose when I have an inspiration. 

Not to be too talk 
heaven's sake not 
be mousey-quiet. Be broadmir.ded, 
generous and like dogs. Remember 
special occasions. Be liked by men. 
Be neat hut not over-meticulous. 
Be interested in a family. And be 
dependable. 

"I want him to be the man, who 
as the years pass by, will be a 
member of the church, council- 
master of his lodge, vice president 
of the Rotary and the best-liked 
guy in his poker club. 

"If he can be all these things 
and still remain an affectionate 
and loving husband who is just 
crazy about his wife and children, 
then he's the man I want. Does 
anybody know where I can find 
him?"

This picture was ma<je shortly 
before the Russo- European War 
by ninety-seven Soviet photo- 
graphers. Foreign Correspondent 
Quenten Reynolds narrated the 
film which showed the moderniza- 
tion of Russian cities and the work 
of the people in the sixteen Soviet 
republics. 

Glimpses of the world-famous 
Russian Ballet, Moscow night life, 
together with scenes of pre-war, 
peaceful countrysides were re- 
viewed. The efficiency of modern 
Russian surgery and medicine 
were also clearly set forth. The 
progressive spirit of the Russian 
peoples was showed by the tre- 
mendous amount of production in 
their factories.

OF MONTGOMERY WARD CASE 

At a recent meeting of the 
Council on Foreign Relations. Mis- 
Lillian Blovve and Miss Eloise 
Penn opened a discussion on the 
Montgomery Ward case. They 
j) resented the position of the gov- 
ernment on the one hand and the 
stand of the factory on the other. 
Miss Lisette Black and Miss Mar- 
dete Neel discussed the Roosevelt 
for fourth term issue. 

The Institute of Citizenship, 
which is sponsored each year by 
Armstrong Junior College and the

not held this year due to the 
war time difficulty of obtaining 
speakers.
