GLIM p S ES
T H E P A S 7
By CAROLYN LLOYD

There has been lot of talk
recently about the return to the
flapper" era in fashions. In an
English class this week we were
discussing the use of slang, and
/ asked if anyone knew the
meaning of the term, ''flapper".
One boy suggested that it meant
someone who Tapped his mouth
(talkeO a great deal. When
attempted an explanation, 1
found that it was hard to reduce
the definition to exact terms.
The best l could do was to tell
them that flapper was girl of
the '20's who wore short skirts,
did the Charleston, and general
ly conformed to the standards of
a glamour girl of her day. Then
l asked what term in the slang
of their crowd would most near
ly match "flapper". After much
elaboration, and with some hest
tation, they finally came out with
SCAT. Now it may be old-fash-
Toned of me, but of the two I
much prefer ''flapper".
In some ways it does seem as
though time marches backward
instead of onward. With all the
modern aids to beauty and bless
ings of the permanent wave,
girls are now reverting to the
shingled bob of my youth, which
in retrospect, realize made me
look uglier than was absolutely
necessary. They haven't yet gone
back to the long waistline, the
flat look, and the debutante
SLOUGH, but if Christian Dior has
his way, they soon will. 1t beats
me why girls want to look like
boys and vice -versa-for there
are some boys who now wear
their hair longer than the girls

and obviously spend more time
training it to wave in the back.
At least the boys of the '20's as
pired to look like men, even if
the girls were running them a
close second.
These opinions will make me
most unpopular with the young
er set, I'm afraid, if any of them
should happen to read them;
though it is more like that the
opinions of their elders interest
them not at all. Their elders
once felt the same way about
their elders, so why not. FLAP
per" or Cat, they all outgrow
it and live to be a little aston
ished at the girls they used to be.
It is impossible to keep up
with all the latest slang express
sions, for old ones are discarded
and new ones @dopted overnight.
One certain way; to date oneself
is to continue using the slang of
ones youth. Other fashions take
a backward swing, but not that.
Recently l heard disc jockey
appealing for old piano rolls. 1t
seems that he had acquired an
old player piano and was de-
voting his program to playing
the old rolls sent in by listeners.
That night he played Eyes, We
Have No Bananas" and it was
even funnier than it was meant
to be in the first place. Someone
had evidently had that roll in
the attic for long time and the
mice had feasted on the notes.
seem to remember that quotes
from that corny song used to be
considered quite brilliant repart-
ee, so it might be just as well to
keep quiet about modern slang.

He Is Remembered

"What the USO has done
with such conspicuous success
is to make each and every in
dividual serviceman or woman
feel that he is remembered and
that he is important important
to himself, important to his SER
vice, important to his country
to his community back home
and to the community in which
he is stationed.
Every man in uniform is
entitled to the assurance that
though he is serving in the
armed forces away from his
own home, he is still an integral
part of the community life of
the nation. Every man in uni.
form, no matter where he is
stationed, is entitled to some
good clean wholesome recrea-
ton. The USO provides that.
st is this attention to the in
dividual that is the strength of
the USO, just as it is the
strength of this nation.
