Why Betty Joe is so exhilerating-
ly happy when the mail-man brings
her a very welcome letter from
someone who thinks of her so often.
What about the circus-guy, Joe?

Cotten-Bratton
Truth Night
“O would some power the giftee
gie us
To see ourselves as ithers see us.”
She was just a sweet little Fresh-
man who thought everyone in the
world was perfect including herself
until February 22, when she jour-
neyed to Couts Hall for the T. C.
Truth Night program.
First, the lights were turned out
and three small candles setting on
the “Date Table” were all the light
in the room. Her name was called
and getting up from her comfortable
seat in the middle of the floor she
advanced to a stool in front of the
table. There she had to sit wnile
a T. C. member read off a long list
•of fautls, and maybe one or two nice
things about her (spme one didn’t
know her so good). It wasn’t
enough that this stool didn’t have a
back to it to help her be at ease so
that temper someone said how she
needed to control wouldn’t over-
power her, no that wasn’t enough,
she had to sit with her back to the
other members so they could die
laughing at all her faults.
At last it was all over but they
were kind enough to give her list of
faults to her so she could burn them
and that’s exactly what she wanted
to dp right then; but that night, af-
ter she went to bed she got to think-
ing and decided maybe that list was
right—maybe she would enjoy her
school life more if, she would try
to make more friends and always be
nice. I bet next year her Truth
Night list will say she is a good
example for any T. C. member to
follow.

There are two alternatives one
could take as to why MAYRENE
and VYDEL seem to enjoy riding the
bus to school. No. 1: Shoes are ra-
tioned and even if they weren’t,
who’d want to walk? No. 2: The
bus driver is so-oo-oo much fun!—
Well, which do you think?
Ever heard that old saying, “In
spite of h— and high water” pre-
ceding a promise or an oath?
JAMES conquers the latter part to
prove his love is true, but let’s hope
MELBA just takes the former for
granted!
GWENELLE was very upset one
day last week when it was rumored
that no Couts Hall girl could have a
blind date. At first we thought per-
haps the poor girl’s eyes were fail-
ing badly (age creeps up on us so)
but when she moaned, “There is
absolutely no hope for me now!”
we got the point.
Say, girls, didja know there were
some of the cutest guys out Brock
way? JUANEZ and JOY seem to be
quite well aware of the fact. Smart
“Keeds”!!
MACKIE’S letter she received
from a newly established “pen pal”
furnished enough swoons for all the
free will???
How many boys are competing for
the very pretty Ira Belle . . .
Who the very attractive Trig stu-
dent is whom Charles Davis con-
stantly tutors . . .
About what Kitty Clark thinks of
the guy who gave her that scintil-
lating pin . . .
Whom Myrtle finally decides
upon . . Bet we know who! Eh???
If Dot could be any happier when
she receives a letter from George??
We doubt it.
Whom Mary Nell and Verla got a
box of Valentine candy from.
Why Mackie always looks for-
ward to those letters from La. with
the G.I. return address on them.
Just why Lillie Mae always saves
her Sundays for a certain young
man???
From whom Martha Davis receiv-
ed that spectacular, honey-filled, su-
gar-coated amorous and flossy Val-
entine. We think Martha got it and
WE know who sent it....
If those two very devoted girls,
Mayrene and Vydell ever speak
cross words to each other . . It cer-
tainly doesn’t seem like it . . .
about hers from “her man”).
Of all the devoted ladies-in-wait-
ing, it is said MARGIE CHILCUT is
one of the truest. Rumor says he’s
in the Navy and his name is JIM-
MY. It might be well if others take
notice—VERLA!!
We all know that DOT KEARBY
is always happy, cheerful, and etc.,
but today there seems to be an extra
glow of happiness about her—her
smiles seems quite a little more gen-
uine, and her chin is up a little
higher—you guessed it, DOT got a
letter from GEORGE.
Do you know MONTEEN has three
brothers! Tom, Dick, and Harry are
their names, and that’s all she'll
tell us about them. We do know
that last week she got a letter from
each of them in the same day—
(their last name wasn’t GILBERT,
though!)
DOT PEARSON has been going
in for flowers lately. Not long ago
she had oh so-oo many roses in her
room, and the other night she had
on a gardenia corsage—What’s his
name, DOT? ,
DELLA, you must have a consid-
erate boss. Remember your excuse
for going home each week-end is to
work—then you turn up with a box
of Valentine candy—some bosses!
MARY PIERCE informed us the
other day that BOBBY has traded
his old (??? what an adjective!) car
for a Ford—bet they go places now!
We knew all the time that BETTY
McCONNELL must have some inter-
est somewhere—believe me, she
does—anyway, she gets those letters
very often.
We only hope and are very sure
that JACK WILLHITE is as nice as
he is quiet. We’d really like to know
you better, JACK.
The number of letters DONIECE
gets from Hawaii makes.us wonder
if “her guy” is not neglecting his
duty in winning the war. Just kid-
ding, Don, we’re glad you hear so
often!
JEAN PHILLIPSI can’t possibly
realize how lucky she is! She has
just recently received some Wrig-
ley’s (by the way, I bet she got the
very last) chewing gum from —
you guess! Also he sent a picture.
Lucky—in two ways.
Sorry I’ve had to talk almost ex-
clusively of girls in my column, but
since HAROLD LITTLE isn’t around
every day any more, the boys have
just about taken a back seat. For
instance, WORTH never has two
“affairs” going at the same time
(not even one!); ARNOLD must
have let those nightly “668, please”
’s slip, because we haven’t heard
much about them lately; TRUETT
has taken one single hint we have
given him heretofore in this col-
umn; NOEL just wanders around
wishing he “had somebody to love”
but does little about it; and
CHARLES DAVIS can’t find the
right technique—However, he hasn’t
given up!

quisitely dressed, yours may have
matched it pretty well—of course,
I’m not insinuating it wohld have
scared you “stiff”!!!
Squeak! Squeak! the rats Mary J
Nell and Thora have been wearing
in their hair make almost as much
noise as Noel’s and Mr. Etier’s
Christmas ties do.
Joe Nprman is getting a head start
on the robin in preparation for
spring. I’m referring to a lovely yel-
low chiffon blouse she purchased
last week! (Could it be ’cause1
someone’s coming home in April??
Anyway he’s a darling!!) 1
There must be something bewitch-
ing about Maxine’s dresses — any-
way, when Verla wears them, she
gets the results (and what else could
it be??) The “results” of the photo-
graph are not yet tabulated but
we’ll let you know!!
Ira Belle Huffstutler’s studded
peacock lapel pin is the envy of ev-
ery feminine eye. There is plenty to
rate a second look at her—not just
with a feminine eye, either!
There is quite a touching story be-
hind Bonnie’s Mexican coin brace-
let. It concerns a triangle, all right,
but the third person is his mother.
Quite heart warming if you know
the details.
Attention!!! Captain Arnold Pitch-
ford, flying ace from the Army Air
Corps is here!!! Furthermore, he has
seen action in seven major opera-
tions and has been overseas four and
one-half years! Say, I’m beginning to
believe this myself—those decora-
tions were drawn on his raincoat in
chalk, weren’t they???
“Polly wants a cracker” has never
been uttered by the embroidered
parrot on Mrs. Fulgam’s black dress,
but it looks os realistic that you
might expect it any time. James ad-
mires it anew each time he looks at
him with that look which generally
means it’s time to do something!
Pearls, pearls, pearls, everywhere
you look! One would think a pearl
diver had emptied his booty on the
W. C. campus. Juanita Mitchell’s
“choker” and Bonnie’s silver strand
are especially charming. Dorothy
Pearson’s combs also add to her
already superfluous attractiveness.
Dot Kearby has flashed a three
strand bracelet around the office,
Odd Gossip
In the Thalian-Coyette meetings
now, we look around the room, ex-
pecting to see an unusually attrac-
tive blond, but she isn’t there any
more. In the halls of W. C we look
around for her but she isn’t there
any more, either. In variety chapel
programs, we look around eager for
her to “beat out some boogie” like
no one else can do it. Every time
we look for Jane Ross, we realize
how much we miss her!
Gee-ee-ee! Have you noticed the
new, cute little number ’round W. C.
halls? Am I kidding, didja say?
Well, in case you haven’t already
had the nerve to ask her name—it
is Rubye Stockstill.
Mary Frances Parks seems to be
happier of late . . . Tell us more.
Parksey!!
Carlene has reached the “war
widow” pediod of her life. Just re-
member, Carlene, how much the
army is improved.
Who was that great big, beautiful
Valentine from that was addressed
to Martha Davis? Not beating Nor-
ma and Gwenelle’s time, are you,
Martha?
BED LAMPS
Look Folks! Bed Lamps once

SAFETY — SECURITY — SERVICE
when the pledges were initiated
into the national honorary frater-
nity, each member witnessed some
of the sacrifices inevitably brought
about by intellectuality.
For instances, the strain Dot and
Mr. Etier underwent to keep from
giggling (I’ll admit the strain be-
came too great at times and they just
had to giggle) and the difficulty Lu-
cille had in remembering what she
was supposed to repeat (as she
thought that getting married would
be just like that). Speaking of dif-
ficulties, Verla could hardly twist
her tongue quickly enough to pro-
nounce some of the mile and a half
words in her part. Out of the silence
of the reverend ceremony, burst a
terrific gale of laughter when Noel
tried to sign the pledge with the
wrong end of the pen! A worthy
Phi Theta member, indeed!
The group as a whole proved its
worthiness quite often as the eve-
ning progressed. Mr. Etier, unfail-
ing as the faithful sponsor, took us
to Aledo (as yet we haven’t decided
whether his reason was to offer us
some recreation or to give him some
moral—perhaps “vocal” would be
better—support if he couldn’t han-
dle twelve women. He managed sur-
prisingly well, alone) to see a de-
cisive game between the Brock High
School girls and the Aledo High
School team.
The games were over, but the
cloudburst wasn’t. So it was either
accept the Aledo Gym as an abode
for the night, or brave the torrential
downpour. After much hesitation
the Phi Thetas took courage and
dashed out into the cold, wet night.
All might have gone well, but Worth
(who went as an honorary—I use
this word reservedly—guest) insist-
ed he couldn’t find Mr. Etier’s car.
Personally, I think he just enjoyed
seeing some of the girls, with shoes
in hands, dash madly about, trying
tot find the car and—remembering
j their dignity—trying even harder
to keep clear of the flashing lights
of cars around them. Noel and Mr.
Etier finally came to the rescue of
the girls in their barefoot plight,
but the homeward trip was neither
safe nor speedy.
The warmth and friendliness of
Anne’s home and Mrs. Hubbard, re-
spectively, were welcome sights in-
deed after the hazardous homeward
journey. It wouldn’t be fair to men-
tion the wartime clothes that drew
up or the feminine coiffures that
came down; but none of the cas-
ualties daunted the spirit of the
party. Delicious hot coffee, huge
slices of chocolate cake, and ice
cream satisfied the damp and fam-
ished group. Afterward an assem-
blyline formed from kitchen to din-
ing room, and to Mrs. Hubbard’s
great surprise, her best china and
crystal was once again safely in
place.
The hour -was late, the extended
initiation and party a huge success,
so once again the dopey intellectuals
(???) in our midst closed a night
of memories that they will not soon
forget.
