By MARTHA STEWART
Yesterday afternoon while I
was cosily curled up on the brows
ing room’s great brown and tan
■davenport a very weary looking
blonde coed limped in and flopped
herself down in the space beside
me just left vacant by a studious
chap with a Phi Beta Kappa key
on his vest.
She made no attempt to open
any of the somewhat formidable
stack of books she pushed in be
tween us when she sat. Instead
she leaned back with a great sigh
and closed her eyes.
“The poor girl,” I thought. “An
obvious case of overwork. Just
studied herself to death!” And my
ire arose as I contemplated the
■cruelty of college professors who
were undoubtedly responsible for
this sad case of human suffering
sitting next to me.
My indignant reverie was inter
rupted by the arrival of another
young lady, this one a red-head
who heralded her coming with a
Joud stage-whispered,
“Wake up, toots. You didn’t
jcome here for a rest cure.”
The blonde half opened one eye
and squinted up at the new arriv
al.
“G way,” she groaned, and then
she settled herself back into the
warm curve of the davenport
again and sighed once more . . .
the sigh of one who is about to
'enter the arms of Morpheus.
“G’way,” she muttered once
more. “I jus’ gotta get some sleep.
M’mother was down for Junior
week-end and she nearly ran the
legs off me. She went home look
ing fresh as a daisy, but me . . .
j’st look at me.” With that she
closed her eyes with an air of
finality.
The red head looked down on
her sympathetically for a moment.
Then she turned to me.
“Bringing up parents is a plen

Smart Footwear
Show Originality
In Style Trends
By MARGE FINNEGAN
i “Boots, boots, boots” went one
of the hit songs of the Ritz bro
thers in a last year’s musical.
Changing the idea a bit one finds
boots or any other kind of foot
wear to be a very important note
in feminine style this season.
One sees at a glance that shoe
styles this season are definitely
different. For some time now the
men have grumbled that women
get less and less every year for their
shoe money. First they take out
the sides, then the toes and lately
even the heels are missing. But
women just laugh at them and try
to explain how much more fun and
exciting it is to wear unusual foot
wear.
Socks, Shoes Combined
Quite the newest thing for
beach, resort, or general sports
wear are “Shocks”—a combination
of shoes and socks. They are
styled of cotton criss-crossed with
elastic to give a lastex appearance,
and some in stripes, plaids and pas
tel shades. “Shocks” are set on a
heavy duty cork sole and fit snugly
jaround the ankle like bobby socks.
Probably the most novel and
newest shoes are those with
wedged heels. They look a bit
queer to us at first, but after we
see them for a while they will
probably lose their oddness. Styled
for comfort, the health-shoe-wear
er should be right in her glory
with them.
Mexican straw, hand-woven san
dals are proving to be a very popu
lar model too. Cork is becoming a
very important feature, being used
for both soles and heels.
ty stiff job,” she told me serious
ly.

Speaking of parents, here is a
true story that might throw a lit
tle scientific light upon the parent
child relation. You see I know
it’s a true story because it came to
me direct. A friend of mine told
me and a friend of this friend of
mine told her. This friend of my
friend’s could vouch for its verac
ity because it actually happened
to a friend of his and this
friend told him and then he told
my friend’s friend and my friend’s
friend told her and then my friend
told me.
So you see, I know it’s true be
cause it couldn’t have come to me
much more directly if it had hap
pened to me myself.
One morning this young man
(the one to whom the story hap
pened) was sleeping soundly in
bed. It was a winter morning and
cold as Greenland outside. The
young man was burrowed deep into
the warm covers sleeping content
edly when his mother’s voice pen
etrated his dreams.
“Ray,” she called, “please get
up and fix the furnace.”
The young man muttered half
heartedly that he would and then
promptly rolled over and went
back to sleep.
"Ray,” his mother’s voice inter
rupted again after a decent time
interval had elapsed. “The fur
nace still needs fixing.”
This time the young man sat
up in bed and shouted back at her
that he was coming. Then he lay
down again and once more closed
his eyes. A moment later his fath
er’s voice boomed out from the
adjoining room,

Attention, Winners
Ribbon is an important note in hat fashions this season. Whether
your topper be large brimmed or turban style, ribbon is cool looking
and just the thing to dress up your afternoon outfit for summer.
The Coed of the Week
MARIONBETH WOLFENDEN
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
If you have seen a coed walking around in a haze on the campus
it may have been Marionbeth Wolfenden. She admits that things have
been a bit vague ever since last weekend.
Marionbeth was tapped for Mortar Board at the campus luncheon
Friday and awarded the Gerlinger cup at the Junior prom that eve
ning for being the most prominent junior woman. She says that it
was the most eventful day of her college career. (This, apparently,
is the feeling common to all women receiving such distinction because
Clare Igoe used almost identical words recently in describing the
occasion.
All Marionbeth can remember about being awarded the cup is
turning to see how her mother, up
in the mothers’ section, was tak
ing it, only to be blinded by the
spot light. She still can’t believe
the cup is hers.
Just what it is that has made
Marionbeth so prominent on the
campus is difficult to put into
words. Perhaps it is because she
has so much “on the ball.” She is
attractive, enthusiastic, intelli
gent, and has personality.
Has Varied Interests
Her interests have no bounds.
She likes to sing, read, swim, play
tennis and badminton, etc. Ac
cording to Marionbeth she isn’t
an expert at any of them “but it’s
sure fun.” She doesn’t play golf
but she did walk on a golf course
once. She can sew but doesn’t
like to.
Last summer she worked at
Oregon Caves as an entertainer
and in the store. She liked the
work and enjoys telling about the
plump women tourists who used
to come down and crawl into the
red-striped coveralls before going
down into the damp caves. The
pictures she has of some of them
are among her prized possessions.
Blonde, twenty - two - year - old
Marionbeth is not always the se
rious and practical person she ap
pears to be. For instance, she is
in a quandary now, not over ex
ams, but what to do with her hair.
It is a question of whether to let
it grow or to have it cut. And
when she isn’t studying she reads
light fiction and magazines. She
especially likes Collier’s.
Thinks She Is a Dreamer
She can’t understand why peo
ple always think of her as being
practical. She believes she is an
idealist and a dreamer, and dotes
on philosophy.
One might cite the AWS carni
val as evidence of her practicality,
or her position as Kwama adviser.
Marionbeth graduated from a
business school in Portland and
has done much office work. She
probably will do this type of work
when she gets out of school. Her
ambition is to get into personnel
work. She has been active in Girl
Scout camps and may go to one
this summer.
Earns Own Way
She has been almost entirely
self-supporting since she came to
school. During her freshman year
she had a fee scholarship,- and.
Heart Lockets Win
Approval of Coeds
A revival of the old-fashioned
gold heart-shaped locket and chain
has come in this spring, along
with Gay Ninety Gibson Girl styles
in dresses and millinery.
Just the thing for accentuating
simple frocks, many of the gold
lockets are discarded heirlooms ot
grandmother and great-grand
mother dug out of the attic by
smart young coeds.
Carrying out the flowers’ part
of this spring’s “hearts and flow
ers” revival, are the new spring
hats made of tiny violets or rose
buds, introduced at Paris open
ings.
Demonstration
Of Modern Dance
To Be Given Friday
Master Dance and the dancing
glasses will give a demonstration
of the modem technique Friday at
4 o’clock in Gerlinger hall. No
,admission will be charged. The
demonstration is being given in
stead of the formal recital this
year because the groups have de
voted their time to “Peer Gynt”
numbers.
Techniques, rhythmics, composi
tion devices, and some finished
compositions by Master Dance will
be presented.
Miss Pirkko Paasikivi, dance in
structor, believes that the demon
stration will acquaint people with
the modern dance technique better
than the recitals have in the past.
since her sophomore year she has
been treasurer of her sorority.
Ruthalbert Wolfenden is Mar
ionbeth’s sister, confidant and pal.
Both girls have similar interests,
and enjoy working and playing
together.
And so, after a look at the ac
complishments of this Coed of the
Week, we feel that the Gerlinger
cup has found another deserving
possessor.
Send the Emerald home. Your
folks will enjoy reading it.
