I had never thought of
what I would do if I had my
way; that is, not until I was
asked to write this column.
Since I do have this oppor-
tunity my imagination is defi-
nitely going to “run wild.”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to
roll out of a luxurious bed
equipped with a radio, clock,
book shelf, reading lamp and
a portable electric dictaphone,
one morning (or any morn-
ing) only to have the lights
on automatically and a closet
door open with a two day’s
supply of . clothes staring you
in the face. Slip into your
slippers to conclude your
dressing and ring a bell which
releases a neatly prepared
breakfast. Upon finishing your
breakfast; step into an eleva-
tor that takes you to a gar-
age where you sit on a two-
passenger air cycle and with
a touch of a button, you are
off for a 4-hour college day.
Sounds like a nightmare for
the engineers to figure out,
doesn’t it?

She said further that it is im-
portant that we get relaxation
from these problems. In sum-
ming it up, Mrs. McConnell
added that we must strike a
balance between recreation,
work, and rest in order to be
a more effective person.
Chorus Plans
Concert Tour
A spring concert tour for
the Lamar College Glee Club
has been announced by Dr.
Meteyarde. The first perform-
ance is to be a local engage-
ment. It is scheduled for Fri-
day, April 13, and will be pre-
sented at Hotel Beaumont
under the sponsorship of the
Daughters of the American
Revolution.
Thursday, April 19, is the
date set for the Port Arthur

nounced. Admission will be

preceding concert.
The Glee Club will sing,

sweet smile, “I may take in

Film on China
Shown Here
An interesting film entitled,
“Here is China” was shown
during assembly period,
March 1, to those students
who cared to see it.
The film was a true pic-
ture of pre-war and pre ent-
day China. The Chinese are
a very superstitious and
somewhat backward people.
They cling to traditions. They
work hard and do the work
that we have machines to do.
They have been very courag-
eous in this war, and have
faced dangers and suffered
hardships unknown to Amer-
icans. The picture made one
truly appreciate the great
land of China and its people.
home this season, but war and
death stop at nothing. This
Easter may we truly rejoice
that the Almighty overcame
all, even death, to bring peace
—the peace in our hearts that
only He' can give.
And now to the lighter side
of Easter. All of Lamar is
looking forward to the gift of
the gods to the hard studying
inmates of this fair school-
holidays. Next to wishing
every G. I. home again, holi-
days come first, as each girl
with a loved one overseas has
in her heart this song “Oh,
how I long to be with you on
Easter Sunday.” But diverse
and interesting are the plans
of Lamar’s students, when
asked what they planned to
do during that cherished time.
Many are going out of town,
as Barbara Smith, who goes
home to Diboll, Texas to visit
with her family; Beverly Far-
quhar and Jackie Tanner,
who plan to give Austin’s so-
ciety a little life; Bessie Phil-
lips, Anne Lauderdale, and
Betty Higginbotham, who’ll
go to the The City, Houston;
Maurine Rickman and Jua-
nita Wells, who’ll give San
Antonio a try; Maxine Mar-
tin, who plans to visit T. S. C.

Change Made
In Cafeteria
Under the helpful hand of
Mr. Pugh, the students are
now finding it much easier
and less inconvenient to get
into the lunch line and get
served. Instead of the old sys-
tem where the line crowded
the passage to the gym and
to the door where the trays
are taken, the students now
line up and pass in through
a door which was cut at the
end of the lunch counter. Be-
sides permitting passage to
the gym' without pushing
through a crowd of people.
This new system prevents a
“jam-up” at the door on
Thursdays when everyone is
anxious to get something to
eat before fourth period.
Menefee, and O. W. Little I morning!
j Lamar boys in the service.
