the time. Katharine Harriss, who
is a freshman at w. c. this year
spent last weekend up in Char

We have lost another friend at
MINIS - George Lynch, who has
moved away. George came to Will
mington early in December, only
to stay for a few months. Now he
is enroute to Alaska with his fami-
ly, travelling through the South,
stopping at San Antonio and head
ing towards California a d then
will go on to Seattle. From there
they fly to Anchorage. Alaska,
where they will make their home.
We are sorry to have George
leave, but glad that he could be
here the short time he was.
Several girls left the old home
town this weekend f different
schools and colleges where they
took aptitude tests and visit there
to become familiar with the rou-
tine they n to follow next year.
Heading Durham way was Mari
lyn Goodman, who left Thursday
for Duke university, which she
plans to enter in the fall.
Charlotte had two charming
visitors this weekend, Flora Nc
liver and June Andrews, who left
Wilmington to visit at Queens col
lege where they took tests and got
a look around the beautiful
campus of the college. Bettina
Marable, Finkie Marlowe, and
Elizabeth Evans were among the
Wilmington girls who welcomed
them to the college.
We teen-agers are surely keep

Last week some of the MINIS
boys enlisted in the Naval Reserve
and went to Camp Lejeune for a
physical examination. Those who
have enlisted are Neal Patrick

J.. c. Bryan, and James Allender.

make some fine sailors!!
Tomorrow marks the opening
date for acceptance of nominations
for class officers and student body
officers at MINIS. We may make
our nominations from then until
March IL, a week from Wednes-
day.
The elections are being held a
little earlier this spring so that the
new officers will be able to at
tend the annual N. c. eastern
district Student Council Congress
to be held in Edenton, some time
during the last part of March.
Those running for office will be
announced on March IA by the
Board of Elections, headed by Bill
ly McEachern, director of cleo
tons, after academic averages
and citizenship averages of the
nominees have been looked up.
Glass officers are nominated for
the office they want to hold while
several candidates run openly for
president and vice-president of the
student body; the largest vote
holder being president and the
second highest, vice-president.

speeches in an assembly March IS
