Voice Of The Students A senior woman student: “I have been here for four years and dur- ing that time have lived in peril of demerits if I come out side my dorm wearing blue jeans cc with my hair in pin curls. I think this is all- right, for no college woman should want to ap- pear unlady-like.

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.
