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. ? Lyceum Numbers For 1939 40 Announced Varied Programs Included 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 Friday morning. August 25. President Leon R. Meadows will make the commencement address. As is customary at the summer commencement exercises, there will be no baccalaureate sermon. President Leon R.

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 dancing.

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.
