uilding Saturday night. The gypsy
I theme was used.

The stage curtains were decorated
with the tea cup, crystal ball and
the hand used in gypsy fortune tell-
ing. The top of the gym was deco-
ed with blue and silver stars.
Refreshments were served by girl-
in gypsy costume.
The figure, which was an ace of
spades, was formed by the senior and
sophomore class officers and the
chairmen of the various committee-
and their dates.
The Cherry Point band furnished
the music.

to see that we don't have another
depression. We must provide sixty
million jobs for returning service
men. He said that we need eight
more TVA projects and 12,00,000
more housing units. These will give
employment to many.
In conclusion. Dr. Eddy said that
the world has gotten away from
God. He believes there is no other
way to build a lating peace based
on justice, liberty and brotherhood
of all unless we get back to God.

uate.
Among these students, 110 are pri-

The Commerce club held its regu-
lar meeting Tuesday, January 23,
1945, in the club room.
Instead of the business meeting,
j the meeting was in the form of a
i memorial service for Thomas Clay
i Williams, a former member of the
jclub, who died suddenly Sunday, Jan-
uary 14, 1945.
Wilmar Kearney was the first
speaker and she told about some of
Tom's achievements in life.
Eleanor Harrison emphasized the
fact that "Tom was a friend � a
friend to all She closed with Shel-
ley's great lines, "His soul like a star

Dr. E. R. Browning spoke on how
much Tom would be missed in the
Commerce department and the club
itself.
Mary Young Bass told several
traits of Tom's that would help her
and all of us in later life. She
summed his life up in the lines from
Walt Whitman's poem to Abraham
Lincoln.
A closing prayer was sung by Jean
Hull entitled "There Is No Death
Every one realized their loss, but
also realized how much knownig Tom
helped them.
The present members of the club
will read the papers submitted and
will elect as new members those
whose work seems to them to show
promise.
The Writers' club was organized
during the fall quarter by a group
of students who wished to meet to-

Mona Paulee, new mezzo-soprano
from the Metropolitan Opera asso-
ciation, appeared in concert last
night in the Wright auditorium un-
der the auspices of the Entertain-
ment committee. This proved to be
the outstanding musical event of
the winter.
Miss Paulee is the winner of a
contract at the Metropolitan Opera
House through her triumph in the
famous Auditions of the Air. She
brings to the concert and opera stage
one of the loveliest and most per-
fectly cast voices to be heard in
recent years. Her rich, low voice
has an excellent quality of warmth
and appeal.
She began her career by winning
first prize on "Talent Night" in a
Pacific coast movie house. Many en-
gagements followed that led to her
being chosen out of 700 aspirants
for the Auditions of the Air. Since
then she has captivated her concert
audiences from coast to coast by the
magnetic appeal of interpretation, as
well as by her glowing voice and
charming personality.
It has been said that Miss Paulee
is a new Carmen. She uses her
voice with a fine sense of contrast-
ing tone, able control, a satisfying
habit of maintaining a tonal line, and
a considerable amount of mature and
discriminating interpretative skill.
Accompanied by Mr. Stevenson
Barrett at the piano, Miss Paulee
sang the following selections: Didos
Lament, from "Dido and Aeneas" by
Purcell; Se Florindo e fedele by
Scarlatti; N'acqui all' affrano, from
"La Cenerentola" by Rossini; Im
Herbst by Franz; Der Schmied by
Brahms; Zue Ruh, Zur Ruh by Wolf;
Der Ton by Marx; Aria, from "Ri-
surrezione" by Franco Alfano; Le
Temps de Lilas by Chausson; Les
Papillons by Chausson; Automne by
Faure; Habanera, from "Carmen" by
Bizet; Velvet Shoes by Randall
Thompson; Gossip by Victor Young;
To the Water Lily by Grieg; He's
the Lily of the Valley, arr. by Arms
Fisher; and God's Time by John
Sacco.
Mr. Barrett played the following
selections: Tambourin by Rameau-
Godowsky; Nocturne by Liszt; and
Capriccio in F Minor by Dohnanyi.

Sherwood Eddy
Speaks on Russia
in Chapel
Sherwood Eddy, famous lecturer,
author and world traveler, spoke in
chapel on Tuesday, January 23.
Mr. Eddy stressed Russia's impor-
tance in building a just and lasting
peace after the war. He maintained
that Russia, though a staunch advo-
cate of justice and brotherhood,
does not practice the principles of re-
ligion and liberty as does the United
States.
Although it is difficult to under-
stand our ally, Russia, we must do so
if we expect to win the peace.

subjects as "How My Hometown Has

So it's roommate trouble you re having.
Naturally the fault lies with your room-
mate. All you did was try to carry on a
friendly conversation with her. Oi course,
the fact that she was trying to listen to
her favorite radio program is unimportant.
You had so many interesting things to
teU her�a cat entered the chemistry lab this
afternoon. Professor Snozzle awoke you out
of a four-star dream by sneezing too loudly,
and you think you will wash your hair to-
night instead of waiting until Saturday.
Aggie, it so happens that to you musi-
cal programs are nothing more than an
accompaniment conversation. However.
your roommate, strange as it may seem to
you, thoroughly enjoys good music and de-
rives a great deal of benefit from it.
Can you really blame her for .lumping
on you with all fours when, just as she is
listening to the opening bars of her favorite
classic, you barge in. intent upon wagging
your tongue all afternoon? Her pointing
out of all the "nice" places you could go
didn't phase you. You merely rattled bliss-
fully on while your poor roommate fought
desperately to c mtrol herself. She fought a
losing battle. Finally her self-control gave
way and she hurled in your direction a bar-
rage of fiery words. You fled the room-
wounded by this sudden onslaught.
Now here you sit, feeling very sorry
for yourself, because you have bee nso gross-
ly mistreated. Well, I'm afraid I can't be
very sympathetic, Aggie. If you had been
a little more thoughtful- you wouldn't be
taking up space on the doorstep while you
pouted.
Go smoke the peace pipe with your room-
mate. Aggie. Then swear never again to be
so rude and thoughtless. She really isn't
so hard to get along with. Meet her half

Not the bright treasure guarded under

Nor the plump grain with which our fields

Against assault, not cities all unscarred,
Not the strong tramp of armies marching

Exultant from victorious attack,
Not pride that we are safe, while hallowed

Not the vain cry blown down the heedless

That we alone of nations have not sinned.
These are but perishables, crumbled stones
Of an old world for which a new atones.
Never in these will any searching find
The greatness of the nations of mankind.

Whose citizens in dream and soul are great.
Whose ordinances bend with reverent awe
Before the categoric moral law.
Triumphant in the bitter fight to live,
Exalt our spirits grandly to forgive.
With matchless power to shackle every foe,
Give us the heart of wisdom to forego.
And this above all else vouchsafe�that we,
In blood�bought peace, may set our chil-

From ancient self-delusions, greeds and
hates
Whereby the crash of dynasties and states
Has written red the chronicles of time.

Whither our feet have faltered. Let them see

Under the sponsorship of the Men's

The MAA says that games will oe

At any rate, if things turn out, the
college will have a bang-up schedule
as far as the fans are concerned.
It is surprising that out of 40 odd
male students, the MAA could form
a basketball team. It is even more
surprising that this team should be
a strong team. On the varsity team
guard positions will doubtlessly be
taken by Stuart Tripp and James

Top honors this week go to the
cheerleaders and the sports fans of
ECTC. The college yell sounds bet-
ter and louder than it has for many
a ball game. The cheer leaders have
been leading grand cheers. They get
their sweaters soon. They are hav-
ing old and new yells printed. They
are yelling at the top of their lungs
for ECTC to win. "Boy, oh boy
I feel like letting out a war hoop
for ECTC right now. Do you? Con-
gratulations, cheerLaders and fans.
The louder you yell, the harder the
team fights to win and uphold past
college basketball traditions.
The only dark spot in the growing
success of the ECTC Varsity bas-
ketball team is that they have no
coach. Stuart Tripp is acting as
captain. The players are to be cheer-
ed for their success without a coach,
but it seems that the MAA could dig
up a coach from somewhere among
the walls of ECTC. Some male fac-
ulty members of some department
may have the ability and the old
college spirit to coach the Pirates
this season. Look for a coach, and
you might find one�an extra good
one at that.

Dr. A. D. Frank of the history
and social science department, spoke
at vespers Sunday, Jan. 21, on "You
and the War
Dr. Frank outlined some of the
things which we could do to help
in the war effort besides contributing
to organizations and various war en-
terprises.

in and loyalty to the leaders of OUT

nize the need for diverting the
emotional reactions of school children
to a dignified and purposeful ob-
servance of victory
Plans for celebrating V-Day in the
schools are taking this pattern, the
Council's survey shows:
1. Definite arrangements for the
feel V-Day celebration already have been
made by most schools. In some
school systems the school administra-
tion has set up e regular program to
be followed by all -chools in the sys-
tem. In other schools, the principal

uited to their student body.
2. An attempt is being made now
to get the true meaning of V-Day
before the student body. The signi-
ficance of V-Day as a day of resolve
and restraint is being stressed in
regular assemblies and in editorial
columns of school papers.
�i. Some school systems have
brought discussion of V-Day and its
implications into their homeroom pro-
grams and classes. Various aspects
of the victory and of post-war prob-
lems are inc'uded in these discus-
sions.
In general, the council's survey of
the V Day essembiy program will
follow a simple pattern � patriotic
music, a statement of the significance
of the day. a tribute to graduates of
the school in service, a prayer for
those who have fallen and for ability
to achieve the goals for which we are
fighting, and a ceremony for re-dedi-
cation to the task ahead. Many
schools are inviting parents to attend
the V-Day assembly.
Almost without xception, schools
that plan to close for the day will
remain open until the emergency
traffic situation is under control by
th.e proper authorities and parents
can be at home when the pupils ar-
i ive. Teachers will wait for formal
notification before dismissal, to avoid
danger of false rumors.
Students will be instructed to go
home immediately. Teachers will
take the younger pupils out of the
building, to prevent unsafe acts on
the school grounds, and school pa-
trols will be utilized m seeing that
Mich pupils are given safe escort

over except the two boys that John
so free-heartedly invited in. The
boys were quoted as saying that
they couldn't eat another bite if they
had to. Those boys don't get invited
to many parties like they used to.
Just to break the monotony, the
boys have certain little games or
contests during their spare time.
Here are the champions of the fol-
lowing contests or games or what-
ever you may call them. Ottis Peele,
champion of the game of smut; Tru-
