nautical garb were Beth Sprinkle,
Judith Geyer, Mary Cooper Har-
ris and Evelyn Dickson, who have
something ef crush on Washing
ton and instead of going back to
school, now that September is
here, they have decided to skip
this semester, returning for the
winter term. Also in their group
on board were Fred Maslin,

Attracting much attention was
the brilliant and lovely blonde
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Wilbur jenkins, Miss Betty Jenk-
ms, who has completed two and
a half years at Cornell university
and is now doing an important
piece of peacetime work with the
French Mission in Washington. In
January, Betty will resume her
studies at Cornell. Participating in
the fun was the joyous Lieut..
Judith Bullock Thomas - for her
husband, Lieut.. Edwin H. Thomp-
son is back at last in this coun-
try. And joining her in the spirited
songs and cheers were Lieut.. Jack
Fairy of Monroe; Lieut.. Bill
Shober of Rural Hall and Lieut..
Leon S m it h of Matthews. OF

ocean liner-nor yet a luxurious
yacht. But the moon looks the

first candidate class. Three years
ago these pioneering women

lieutenants. And if they have gone
a long way quickly, it is because
they have proved their worht. Ii
was rather nice to see, looking
around at the capahly powdered
noses that not one has lost the
little feminine graces-or the ca
pacity for fun and good times, be-
cause of the undesirable contri-
button they have made toward
world peace.
