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.

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,

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?"
