Melby, Oregon’s
Ey DOROTHY CONRAD
The latest competitor of the beauteous Conover and Powers
models is Oregon’s own 1945 Cover Girl, dark-tressed, vivacious
Betty Lou Melby.
This 20-year-old sophomore music major is definitely “hep.”
She loves anything on the “jivey” side and is rumored to “cut
Quite a rug.” The attractive Cover Girl has blue eyes, daw.
brown hair, is 5 feet 5'j inches
t ill and weighs just what a Cover
Girl should weigh.
Betty Lou started taking honors
at the age of 16 when she was
chosen Queen of the Boy Scouts in
two Washington counties. She at
tended high school in Kelso, Wash
ington, and later her parents
moved to Portland where her home
is now. She is an only child.
A sparkle might be found in
Betty Lou’s eyes when an airplane
flies over as she has been the ob
ject of quite a few jaunts to Eu
gene by a certain naval flier sta
troned at the North Bend air base.
Not only have the wires from
.North Bend to Eugene been busy
1 itely but planes have “buzzed”
tier several times.
Betty Lou attended Lower Co
lumbia Junior college and Multno
mah Junior college before coming
to the University. She was affiliat
ed with Theta Beta Kappa sor
ority at Multnomah college.

Howls of laughter came from
Betty Lou the other night when
the ouija board informed her she
would be the Cover Girl, Well, well,
how did it know, huh, Betty Lou ?
She is still looking for the per
son who is responsible for her
“little visitor” the other night. She
was awakened at 3 a.m. to find
a mangy gray cat on her shoulder.
She exclaimed loudly and in no un
certain terms. The cat (probably
as frightened as she was) leaped
into the air and “phffttted” off
with Betty Lou in quick pursuit.
Betty Lou has spent the past
two summers working at the Van
couver shipyards.
Besides taking piano lessons she
is also taking vocal lessons at the
school of music. Following her
graduation Betty Lou plans to
teach music in the elementary
grades.
This story might explain to Bet
ty Lou why her “neighbor” at
Mary Spiller has been so inquisi
tive lately. You see, she was not
aware she was being interviewed.
Ophelia Back
By MARGERY SKORDAHL
Ophelia bowed ’n pimpled into
tlie mirror . . . was the acne of per
fection. All dressed to go roller
skating in the sunshine but . . .
something was wrong with the
pedal pusher effect . . . should
have taken off the attractive red
flannel first. As it was, Ophelia
looked like ... a bad case of sun
burn. Sunburn! Sunbaths. Ophelia
wanted to sunbathe but wanted to
roller skate more. Clamped on her
skates . . . clicked down the side
walk toward Chapman. Queer
knock somewhere. Sounded like

knock-kneed.
Sat down on the grass . . . sorta
impromptu. Watched pair of green
saddles go by . . . bunch of forget
me-nots ambled past. Ophelia’s
bloodshot eyes swiveled ... oh yes,
painted wmoden shoes. Scintillat
ing climate out, sunny sol, wet
turf, peeling noses . . . Oregon ’n j
Spring. Miss O. climbed out of iron
lung . . . breathed deep. Ummnnn

in. Very serious condition . . . doc

had been frightened by William

A happy day for Ophelia . . .
wore her black ’n brown pledge
ribbons proudly. Fellas had pledged
her to . . . (emotion) ... to “We
Beat ’Em Up, You Stack ’Em”
forum. Had won her stripes after
the Oregon State game last Satur
day . . . she and Big Bill Mayther
tied for first place . . . bagged 12
OSC men apiece. Still 'n all, very
lonesome ... at 1 a.m., no more
men left . . . even at the “O." She
kinda overdid it anyway . . . kept
yanking fellas out of cars . . . no,
no. Lots of fellas in high schools,
aren’t there? Rolled down the hill
. . . alone. Sang “Saturday Night
Is the Loneliest Night in the Week
Usually.” Ate crab louis and a
side order of shoestrings.

‘‘Too D-bad! the lady barked.
“ ‘D’ . . . That's right.” Ophelia
said 'n walked out into the Oregon
. . . rain.
Two shack rats approached each
other, each madly puffing on a
cigaret. “I’m smoking a Herbert
Tareyton, the society cigaret,” said
the first shack rat, blowing a
filled in smoke ring. “I'm smoking
a Chelsea,” fired back the second
shack rat. “The poor man's ex
cuse!”
