ONCE UPON A TIME: THERE WAS a seal. The
seal couldn't talk and he couldn't eat. It was Thanksgiving
and all the other animals in the sea were feasting but this
seal had to fast instead. He was in love but couldn t tell his
ladv seal friend that he loved her. It was awful. His girl
friend married a polar bear and he couldn t object. He
started to end it all by drowning himself in the ocean?but
be couldn't get his Berings. But at last he found he could
open his mouth and talk and eat. Then he married a lady
seal and lived happily ever after-except for the fact thai
he coudn't talk to his lady love but once a year iou see,
he was a Christmas seal and he had to wait until December
25 to open.

In Schedule
Eapidly Hearing completion is the new classroom building
which was started last winter. Excavations for the basement
wore begun early in January, and at the present time the
walls are nearing completion. It had been hoped that the new
building would be ready for occupancy by the beginning
of the fall quarter but due to ? ?
a delay in beginning actual
construction and several de-
lays caused by unfavorable
weather, the building will not
be finished as soon as had
been expected.
The main floor of the
building will be incomplete
due to a lack of funds. It is
hoped that enough additional
funds will be secured to fin-
ish the building in the near
future however. There will
be no wall partitions on the
main floor.
The building is being fi-
nanced by an appropriation j
of $325,000 made by the
North Carolina State Legis-
lature and the Federal Works,
Project Administration. Of
the $325,000 appropriated
$300,000 will be spent in the
construction of the building.
The remainder will go for'
new equipment.
When completed, the new
building, which will house
the science department, will
be three stories high and will i
have a 221 foot front. The j
two wings will have 188 foot I
fronts. The building is lo-i
cated between the present
science building and the In-
firmary.
Eighty-two seniors will be
honored during the summer
commencement exercises to
be held at East Carolina
Teachers College beginning
Thursday evening, August
24 and continuing through

exercises, there will be no

So you're going to the New
York World's Fair this
month! Keep in mind the fact,
thai New York's temperature
is apt to be chillv at this sea-
son, and you'll want a warm
suit for your sightseeing. A
particularly good choice of
a suit can be made in choos-
ing one of the new color?
beige ? which has become
popular with the New York
women this season. It would
be handv. too, if vour suit had
a casual overcoat for trav-
eling. For warmer after-
noons a light colored blouse
of cotton or dotted swiss wprn
with your suit would make a
welcome change. You'll need
also a jacket dress. A very
smart one is made with a bo-
lero jacket over a basque type
dress. The skirt of the dress
and the jacket are maoV of
?!ain rose colored crepe,
while the blouse (zipped all
the way up in front) is made
of dotted rose crepe. And the
turn-back lapels of the bolero
are faced with the dotted
rose. Or if von prefer, you
can get a jacket suit with the
dress completely made of
nrinted material and the
jacket alone made of the
plain material.
You'll also want to take a
rather dressy afternoon dress
for Teas and informal eve-
nings. A lovely afternoon
dress, direct from Paris, is
made in delicate pastel shades
of crepe. The elbow length
sleeves and the upper part of
the bodice are "ornes de
bouellonnis That is. the
sleeves are divided into four
parts by shirring, each three
inches wide, and the yoke is
made with a short V-neck,
finished with a small bow.
The skirt is slightly flared
and divided into six panels.
You'll want to take an eve-
ning gown with you. Take one
that doesn't muss easily, and
lhat has a separate bolero.
The dress will serve youi
double purpose: with the bol-j
ero it will be correct fort
restaurants and theatres, and
with the bolero left off, iti
will be formal enough for j

Let's analyze the bag sup-
per?and believe me, brother,
it has its elements. First,
there's the bag, a likely look-
ing object at first sight, full
of a lot of empty space. Then
there's the inevitable pimento
sandwich?christened by one
sufferer, the Western Sand-
libra-j wich?you know. twro slices
that of bread with a wide open
space. Next come the pickles.
Close on the tail of the
pickles we find the cakes. By
the time you get ready to eat
the darned thing you've got
one Heck of a mess. The
pickles, romantic devils, just
ooze affection all over the
place. Put one part pickle
ooze with two cakes and
you've got a concoction.
BUT DEFINITELY!
Now comes the apple. No
self respecting worm would
dare populate one of the
things. Now if Eve had
been a student of ECTC. we'd
all be living in the garden of
Eden. She never would Have
offered Adam one of our
apples.
The best way to eat a bag
supper is to leave the thing
in the room and go up the
street to some cafe and order
a meal. Leave the bag sup-
per where it is for two weeks
then, quietly slip up to it and
sniff. If you survive, vou'll
take your food through your
veins for the rest of vour life.
