Campus Couple Of The
This week’s couple has been going
together off and on for three years
with their first date being on Febr-
1952. They are Peggy Ed-
nd Charles White, who both
| came from Whiteville. I, ex-
pressing his lfirst apinion of Peggy,
Charles said, “I thought she was a
pretty nice girl.” Whereas Charles
was trying to get to know Peggy
; through her girl friend, Peggy got
the idea that he liked her girl friend!
Peggy says, “I thought he was
rather cute and something different
js0 I wanted to date him, but he did
| not seem to want to share the mutual
opinion.”
They both recall the time when
Peggy was visiting in Charles’ home.
; Charles’ mother, who always takes
off her rings before cooking, had
left her rings on a table in the hall.
‘Embarrassment arose when Charles’
mother walked in and found Peggy
itrying on the rings.
| Another embarrassing _ incident
came when Charles gave Peggy her
diamond. They were in a room where
they thought no one would enter, but
they were greatly surprised when
his father walked through right in
the middle of the act. Incidentally,
this happy event took place this past
Christmas eve.
This fine couple enjoys basketball,
football and movies. They also enjoy
going dancing and window shopping.
As is so true with most couples,
their main interest is each other.
Peggy, who is a primary major,
j will be a junior next quarter, while
Charles, who is a social studies ma-
jor, will be a senior. They are both
