What a transformation! Did you ever stop to think what a difference a mere handful of men could make in a school composed of girls? Especially when there have been no men, I mean only two or three, for the past three years. How the scene has shifted. Jeans that have been worn casually, rolled to the knees, are being replaced by skirts. Brother’s plaid shirt and dad’s good white shirt have been neatly packed and sent home. The girls have decided that perhaps it is the right thing to do consid­ ering the shortage of shirts nowadays. Funny how a girl’s appearance can be changed by runinng a comb through her hair and adding a dash of new, exciting lipstick. Even the feet take on a new appearance, old saddle shoes that slosh up and down with each step are being kick­ ed into the far side of the closet and the girls are bringing out their new I. Millers. Many of the girls who had waited for the ten to eight bell to ring before jumping out of bed and making a mad dash for the wash­ room are now geting up for breakfast. The cooks don’t understand (?) it. At dinner one would scarcely recognize the girls that glide into the dining room with feet encased in most becoming shoes, with heels and gayly colored frocks, as the same girls that cluttered up the camp­ us a few hours previously wearing skirts and sweaters. Dog eyes are thrown at your best friend because one of the fellows has cast an ad­ miring glance her way. Yes, a new semester certainly is fun. Especially with that “con­ stituent” of all gay times. Sadly enough it is the books that will suffer. — Doris Stockton SWIMMING MEET A very successful and exciting swimming meet was held on Feb­ ruary 9 under the direction of Miss Nettie M. Ruttie. The judges were Mickey Schlindwein and Chester Eisaman. The clear blue water in the new gym pool was cut and churned by the swimmers in the following events: 1.
