he needed more oomph in his stroke.
"Who do you think I am—Ann Sheri-
dan?" retorted Vina.
Later, as the fudge, as its makers
mistakingly preferred to call it, cool-
ed, Vina was heard to mutter, "Gosh,
I know now just how a father feels."
He mournfully recited Goethe's poet-
ry as he attempted to cut with a pock-
etknife the thick, pecan-infected mass
spread on two mUk glass plates.
All tasters and partakers of the
fudge feast declared that the experi-
ment was a definite success. Wier
promised that perhaps another do-
mestic science Job \vould be conducted
sometime in the future since there are
so many good exponents of cookbook

Guernsey Palmer said had no pro-
gressed far enough for announcement,
He did say, however, that work ion
the ball would continue at a slower
pace until after the examinations, and
that a date bid would be given as a
door prize at the first Saturday night
dance after mid-term, which should
be in the neighborhood of February
15 if Jimmy Miller, Simpson, and Sy-
monds are agreeable. Palmer failed to
point out that grade cards indicating
a scholastic fatality would also en-
title a man to a free ticket to the
Saturday^nigbter of February 1.5,
each work day. Flying Cadets pile up
seventy hours of flying time in ten
weeks, much of their training being
either night, flying or aerial acro-
batics. Ten weeks after completing
the secondary phase of training they j
" ill get their wings and Second Lieu-
tenant bars. I'nder the expanded pi-
lot training program classes of 1600
selected young college men start flight
instruction every five weeks. Much
less than a year later they have been
transformed Into full-fledged military
pilots.
Among Rice graduates under train-
ing Is C. S. (Scott) Adams, Jr., B. S.
