to friends in the Capital was Mrs.
William Henry Belk, who was in
New York to attend sessions OF the
United Nations and stopped over
in Washington en- route home.
While in the city Mrs. Belk at
tended the annual dinner at the
Mayflower hotel of the group,
celebrating the signing of the May
flower Compact.
The lovely great granddaughter
of Queen Victoria, Lady Iris
Mountbatten, niece of the Queen
Of Spain is the Capitals most ex-
citing visitor at the moment. She
is actually a charming girl, tall,
beautiful an d with a democratic
and unaffected mien. It's nice to
know that she is definitely intef-
ested in the North Carolina Socie-
ty. one of its Board of Governors,
being a close personal friend oi
hers.
In Alexandria where the Jerry
Thompsons recently bought and
decorated their little band : box

they entertain and enjoy theil

And as l said a few weeks ago,
Patsy Hardwick was chosen treas
urer Of the freshman class at re-
cent elections at the Woman's col
lege in Greensboro and of course
we're real proud of her, too.
Well, we just couldn't be any
prouder of these boys and girls,
and I'm sure that they will con-
tinue in leadership and successes
throughout their college years.
Last week a usual procedure
which is taken up by the junior
class several times each year took
place once again as the underclass-
men attempted to rush the coveted
senior Steps. However, the seniors
provided the necessary defense
against the "private property" so
all attempts failed. Those Juniors
sho' did put up a fight though!
This time next week many tur-
keys will have passed into oblivion,
but I'm sure nobody will mind but
the turkeys. Yes, Thanksgiving is
almost upon us once again, and I
for one, am surely looking for
ward to that regular old Thanks
giving dinner!!

The ROTC band once again die
some fine playing and formations
out on the field at the half il
their new uniforms led by the high
stepping majorettes and drum ma
jors, Dan Kelly. Henry and Tanky
Meier. AS usual the two clowns.
Eleanor Willetts and Frank Brad
ley were there cutting their usual
comical capers. The Student Sec
ton was especially crowded as al
most everybody had turned out to
witness the tangle.
Cardboard, newspapers, paper
bags, and most anything that could
be gotten, even kerehiefs, were
spread over the damp bleachers.
The unfortunates who refused to
give up their coats for protection
added another use to the Klennex
list because M the extreme mo!s-
ture in the air which had caused
4 wet covering over the bleachers.
l saw Tyler Presson quite eccu-
pied for a couple OF minutes after
he had finally spotted an empty
seat as he busily engaged himself
in rubbing the seat quite dry. With
the help Of his handkerchief, the
moisture, the Kleenex, and a little
'elbow grease" looked to me as
if Tyler contented himself only with
the dryest spot Of all. And Incl
dentally, Tyler really is a vigorous
scrubber!
Spaghetti always tastes good to
me, and that which was served at
Sara Kay Jordan's spaghetti sup
per Friday night was certainly no
exception! A little while before the
football game Sara Kay gave a
supper honoring Princess Settings,
whose birthday was yesterday.
Princess wore a lovely bright deep
sea green dress Of wool flannel
with capped sleeves highlighted by
rows of buttons over the shoulders.
After Rachel Cameron and Allen
Lanier had carefully fixed the rolls
OF caps in the cap pistol, Clemmy.
Sara's small brother, dolefully shot
Princess and o. X. Pridgen, and
with his dead-eye aim got Martha
Holton and Richard Galphin in the
same shot. Also he brought out his
new puppy to proudly show to Bet
ty Yopp. Bobby Davis and NAL
colin Crawford who exhibited great
admiration for the tiny white dog.
Happy Birthday" rose over
"The House of Blue Lights" and
"Rumors Are Flying and then
everybody headed for the game.
The Teen-age club at the Com
munity Center magneted its usual
large crowd after the football
game Friday night. Saw Billy Lee
standing around and feeling fine
being home again. Billy's still in
the army and has been stationed
at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Now he's
home for about ten days before
heading California way where he
will be shipped out. l saw Mary

Cats were really jumping at the
dance; Janice Harvell and Henry
Trulove, Patty Switzerland and Ho-
mer Brewer, all e doing some
fine jitterbugging. +.
When 1880 rolled around 1t
found most everybody at the mid
night show at the Bailey, It'll the
End of Time" Looking around be-
hind me l saw Jean Bobbitt and
Don Piver, Cooter Lewis and Ebe
Goodwin, Nancy Greer and Jennings
Gerald. Further towards the back
we're Betty Walter and Billy
Quarles, Jean Cross and Ronnie
Walker. Sara Kay Jordan and Bob
by Davis, Betty Yopp and Deck
Jordan joined Fundamentally in
the Community Singing.
Just looks as il Wen continually
be swelling with pride over our
hometown teen=agers. And we're
ex~tra-special proud now because
of the recent honors that have been
placed on several OF eur Whining
ton younger set. Colleges all over
North Carolina have placed Will
mington students in the higher
class offices, with Wake Forest col
lege filling its three major fresh
man class offices with Wilmington
ians. Graham Barefoot. son Of DR..
and Mrs. Graham Barefoot, was
elected president of the freshman
class there. Looks as if Mary Eliz-
abeth Westbrook and Jimmy Han
son can't be parted for now they
hold class offices at Wake Forest
side by side. Jimmy captured the
vice-presidency while Mary Eliza
beth was chosen as secretary and
treasurer.
Graham was one of the top mem
bers of his class last year at MINIS,
and was one of the most popular
and outstanding boys of the senior
class OF '46. TRAP" was on the
varsity football squad for three
years, being one Of its best play
ers, making the Monogram Club
for two years and serving as presi-
dent Of the club while a senior. A
captain In the ROTC, he command
ed Company D. and took an award
for the years best captain. Also
he was a member of the ROTC
Officers club. AS a freshman this
year, Trap" is a pledge to the
Lamda chi Fraternity.
Jimmy, son Of MI. and Mrs.
James r. Hanson, was another
well-known and well-liked fella at
MINIS last year. He was chief
judge Of the student court and a
top member of the Dramatic club,
chosen for parts for each OF the
plays. This year he is affiliated
with the Pi Ka fraternity at Wake
Forest.
Mary Lib, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Norwood S. Westbrook, has
proved herself extremely capable
IN student government as she hand
led the top s~ecretarial positions in
the school efficiently as she acted
as clerk Of the Student Legislature
and Executive Council. Last year
Mary Lib made one of the best
senior class presidents that have
served at MINIS, and truly left a
fine record behind her. Already she
has begun to leave her mark at
Wake Forest and is a member of
the Euzialian Literary Society, a
member Of the Wake Forest Glee
club and choir, and leader Of the
Freshman Girls YWCA.
Over at Salem college at Win
ston-Salem another Wilmington
teen-ager has captured the top
