Beauty and brains do mix; We ofter, as
case in point, the academic record OF MISS
Sybil McRae, lovely daughter of Mr.. ana
Mrs. MurreI McRae of Lexington and CANA

Miss McRae made the Honor Roll at ole
Miss this past semester acquiring l9 quahty
points in the process. Sybil is pledged to Chi
Omega sorority, participates in sports, music

Sybil acquired the love of learning early in
life. She was graduated from Lexington Jr.

that creates freedom. Eye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free. We
are now at the stage where the main emphasis
must be laid on the dissemination OF thu
truth. We need, as never before, a campaign
of education, with men and women, boys and
girls going here and there in a great lecture
campaign-weaving itself across this nation
like a weaver's shuttle. We need a baptism
of the right kind of literature. periodicals, and
truth--carrying messages that will make the
people of the nation and the rest of the world
sit up and take notice.
We have reached the place where we can no
longer take the defensive; we must once again
resume the offensive. The colleges, univer-
sites, and high schools : with the six millions
of young men and women in those institutions
who are to take their place in the life ofthe
nation just a few years hence--are the Iabora-
tory where truth must be demonstrated.

First, she will represent the Alaska Edu- cation Association at the 50th An nual Conference on Teachers zEdu- cation and Professional Standards, to be held at the San Diego State College in California, June 21 through June "A.
