Carolyn made the deans list

Bob Gibson is another first
year student at the University
Of Miami, who loves his work
and is doing so well at it. Bob
is taking journalism and the
organ of the college is called
"Parent-Age" a paper designed
not just for the students but
more for their parents. 1t is a
monthly paper with an output
Of $500 copies, going to all
parts of the United States and
into South America from
whence comes many pupils.
Bob was first a reporter on this
paper and now has advanced
to feature editor, which will
take him to many Of the inter-
esting places and events which
abound in and around Miami.
particularly during the win
ter season. Naturally the out
put of a journalistic school is
good and the college publica-
tiOns of y. of NJ. are writ
ming top honors in competition
with other colleges. Bob has
his service back of him, he is
in his chosen field and all
seems to be going fine with
him in his college work.
One last thing, I might say
before the end of this letter, is
that the Red Cross needs your
ardent support. Milford does
not often lag in an effort that
is good and certainly Red
Cross can be counted in that
category. Be ready to respond
to the roll call and help with
the solicitation if it is poss-
ible.
Always,

you would see lots of girls with
their heads completely covered
with tight, little curls, or (espe-

tired of that, let their hair grow
long, pinned it together in the back

again with their pony tail. Then
came the Ulysses cut "a la Audrey
Hepburn, or is it the Italian cut?
Anyway, you'd look downright
shaggy, your hair would be all
different lengths, with a bit of
bang here and there on your fore
head, and just not much shape or
form to the whole thing, period.
In my opinion (and I'll probably
run into trouble saying this) all
these hair styles were beautiful in

We women are really gullible to
the dictates of the "big wheels"
in the fashion world though, aren't
we? If Christian Dior comes out
with new frock designed to fit as
tightly as is reasonably safe, then
we wear sheath dresses. If we're
used to having our hemlines a
nice, comfortable distance from the
flsor, some Paris designers model
appears at a fashion show some
where in dress with such a long
skirt that it looks positively out
landish. Oh, we rebel like nobody's
business, but if they continue to
show those styles we succumb and
eventually our skirts are longer,
too.
It's the same thing with hair
styles, although most of us who
are sedate and mature CD don't
change the way we wear our hair
too much. Do you remember when
the poodle cut was all the rage?

Helpful Hints for Harassed
Housewives Dept

| HOUSEWIVES OeP -
If you're thinking about re-plant-
ing some o fyour house plants into
larger pots, this is a good idea
came across. If your larger flower
pots are just the ordinary tile pots,
why not give them a coat of paint
or enamel in suitable color? This
would be much more inexpensive
than buying new ones, and l still
believe that the plants do better
IN that type of pot because of the
drainage through the small hole in
the bottom. To make this task of
painting them easier, put a rope
through the hole in the bottom Of
the pot, make knot larger than
the hole, and tie the unknotted end
OF the rope to the clothesline. This
way, tn entire pot, including the
bottom edge, can be painted easily
and besides, it can dry so nicely
