Wednesday. March 10, 1048
By MELVIN PAUL
Proof that Prohibition would
not keep the populace from being
unable at times to walk a straightj
line was Werner Gruenbaum, ob-
served to stagger upon emerging i
from a stiff history test . . . Pass-
ing notes like mad were Eugenie J
Hare and Coletta Ray, but Palmer
Dideon watched it all with an air
of amusement . . .
What we'd like to know is: Does
Mary Louis Klicpera wear that
bright red jacket as a hangover
of school spirit for her old alma
mammy, Reagan, or just because
she’s cold? . . . Then there’s Caro-
lyn Delhomme, who is the light of
the Thursday Biology Lab, and
Abner Ussery, who seems also
to be infamous on Friday lab
days ... .
Alpha Reynolds wearing a per-
manent track in the floor of the
hall outside the first floor A. B.
library, waiting at all sorts of
odd hours for it to open .
Bertha Gray dashes in and out of
; Mr. Williams’ English class with
. friends and acquaintances trail
mg after . . .
I Surprise of the week: The Rice
Forum on “What Studes Think of
i Profs and Vice-versa” evoked no
harsh language, a fact that should
bring a glow to the hearts of those
working for world peace . . .
History class makes Mel Dow
shine—watch the erudite way his
pencil shoots across the page in
a frenzy of note-taking! . .
Charles Cree, who is also Huey,
using epithets from six different
\ languages and a few from an un
! known tongue when his car
i wouldn't start on the way to
| classes recently . . . then there is
i Louise Schleicher, who has a few
unuttered names for the freshmen
in her Biology lab section, tew.

Islogan of Helen C. Dauncey, of
Ithe National Recreation Associ-
ation who arrives in Houston on
iMarch 16th to conduct the Recre-
ation Training Institute sponsored

duct community recreation and
ihow to lead hundreds of new
jgames and activities for young and
jold. A graduate of the Boston

a degree from Boston University,

Every Wednesday at Braeburn Country Club,
the Ladies are given the “run of the links.”
So, with the course clear of the male “dubbers,”
the fair ferns take over and hold their own tourna-
ment and luncheon.
The event, always a popular attraction with the
women of this section, is gaining momentum with the
approach of better golf-playing weather and more
and more members are taking part.
Last Wednesday—which was one of those rare
days possessing an exceptional amount of good
weather—provided Staff Photographer Jerry Maze

score on the previous hole are Mrs. E. Gamniage of
