Tomorrow we pause for a few minutes in our rushed schedule to think on the things for which we have to be thankful. And even in a period of war, when conditions keep us in school instead of the place even dearer our hearts—our homes—there is much for which we Americans, we Virginians, we Farmville-ites, have to be thankful. First, and foremost, because we are here at all. Second, because we are Americans, and are living in the country that is today best fed, best clothed, most prosperous, and with the most opportunities in the world. Because America is not a battlefield, and we are safe from horrors and dread of actual warfare; because we are a democratic country and do not live in fear of a mighty despot and his monstrous Gestapo; because of the recent gains made by our fighting men, we should be thankful we are Americans. Third, because we are college students in America, with an opportunity to do a big part in rebuilding a world into the peaceful and beautiful place it was created to be, we should be thankful. And because of many, more things, personal and national, we should be thankful. Tomorrow is a day set aside for counting one's blessings and for being thankful for them. Though Thanksgiving. 1944, rinds the world in a turmoil of war, may it find its people truly thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon them.

Come On OutSupport Your Colors Tomorrow will mark one of the highlights of the college year here when the Red and Whites and the Green and Whites will clash, first in the traditional Color Rush and later on the hockey field. For yean the Color*Rush and the hockey games on or as near as possible to Thanksgiving Day have represented the epitome of Farmville spirit, and this year will be no exception. Those who will run in the halls in the morning and those who who will meet on the athletic field in the biggest games of the year, have spent weeks in preparation for the day, and every single student should be on hand to support her color at both events. These events stand for something here at Farmville that is a big part in making the Farmville spirit the living, vital thing it is, and that spirit must not waver or die. So, we repeat the oft-heard formula, "Come on out and support your colors!"
As Americans Are, So Is America Even for those of us who are not students of history, the war which we are now light in-.' has taught us lhat World War I was only a military victory.

Richardson Frosh Anticipate Nightly Sale of Sandwiches By HELENE GRIFFIN "Sandwiches; Sandwiches! Anybody wanna' sandwich?" Does anybody want a sandwich??!!"! What a question! Doors fly open, all shapes and sizes of our berobed classmates dash out to grab a "bite to eat"—a thin dime is quickly pressed into the seller's hand and a luscious tomato onion, olive, or deviled ham sandwich is given in return. Just how do these "Sandwich Maidens" know when to sell? We think it's uncanny the hours they appear in our halls. Take Richardson for instance. The hall lights are low. the time is 10:00 P. M. Almost no sounds come forth from the various rooms save the stomachs that arc heard growling, but. no one does anything about it. We're Just about ready to take on our last dry piece of graham cracker, when suddenly the front door opens, a voice yells again. "Anybody want a sandwich?" The doors bang open, and the ones in the front room attack first—the two gals carrying the welcome "staff of life" are immediately lost to vtew under the onslaught of thes» "starved" freshmen. By the time our first regiment has subsiaed. the "infantry" from second floor pours down the stairs . . . shouting, "Got change? Have any tomatoes left? . . . Quit shoving! Oh. shucks, I dropped mine, oh well, it's just as good that way, I guess!" Nothing absolutely nothing, daunts our "fearless fosdicks" as they gobble down this American novelty. Have I failed to state why we're doing all this? We're hungry with a capital "H". By now the two shuddering girls standing in the living room are
gradually calming down. Fearing the worst, they quaveringly ask. 'Do you all want us to come in again?" The answer is deafening, that their very lives are endangered if they don't, is made very definite by our young and ravenous sandwich eaters. The front door shuts, every o.ie troops back to her room muncoing away on her bread and spread. The room reached, she finishes her snack, heaves a long, contented sigh and is ready to be tucked it. The only trouble is, she wishes she had another. The thought never occurred to us to take 20c down and buy two, oh, no!! We were in too big a rush to buy that one land come to think of it, we were lucky to get that one!) We're dreaming of that man, or of the holidays, or something equally as exciting ... . all at once we sit bolt upright in bed, clutch our stomachs, stare into the darkness and wonder what the world happened. It didn't take us long, now we know, it was that onion sandwich 'our stomachs are growling louder than when we were starving'. We groan, flop back, turn over and go back to sleep, dreaming now that hundreds of little onions are chasing us over a loaf of bread. The next morning dawns bright and clear, but not so us. the night's memories haunting us. Oooh! finally we get up and are surprised to discover we're O. K. No arsenic in those onions! The day passes, and as night come upon us we are first in our hall to buy from the two girls who come about 10:00 . . . . yelling— "Sandwiches! Onion, tomato. Sandwiches."

Bulletin Boards, Pin-Ups Add Life, Vitality to Dorm Room By MARtJARET There comes a time in the life of every S. T. C. girl when— when—when—yes; she decides to fix up her room! Not Just bed spreads, curtains, drapes but to liven it up with multlposed pictures and gay posters. Call it a fad if you must, but it is lots of fun and oh! so easy on the eye. No more bare colorless walls stare us in the fact but life! beauty! color! from dawn to morn! On the backs of doors and from the molding swing pictures—anything from scantily-slad. beautifully shapen "Petty girls" to the joyful postwar "Molly and me and baby makes three" reunions. And who said men weren't allowed in S. T. C. dorms? Just walk in any of the rooms and take your pick (Well, we admit they aren't animated but they are the manageable type). Everywhere you turn O.I.

As for the bulletin boards in the dliferent girl's rooms—well, they are a little like Mom's stew. They have everything on them — picturesques speech from Magazines, newspapers and books, snapshots of "the man" and those wonderful times spent together, photos of the gang back home or here, telephone calls, specials, telegrams, corsage ribbons, dance cards, football stubbs, college and service pins, army, navy and marine •tripes and insignias. Anything JFOU want to save and don't have room in the desk just stick it on the bulletin board! To each girl her bulletin board is something special and personal, bearing hopes, dreams, fears, and beautiful memories. So if you haven't fixed up your room—get the urge. It doesn't take too much time nor trouble and the improvement is 100 per cent plus.

Dr. Merritt went on in his letter to Dr. Jarman to say, "I am finding Paris to be a wonderful and exciting city, far more beautiful than any I have seen so far, with the possible exception of Washington, D. C which was after all, planned by a French architect." "My only regret", he wrote, "is that someone, from my high school principal right on up to Miss Diaper, didn't persuade, cajole, bully, or beat me into taking French. I resent being hampered by language, and resent spending time on it, when so many Other things, official and personal, clamor for my limited 24 hours a day." Speaking further of Paris to his wife, Dr. Merritt wrote, "Hair-does are definitely on the up swing, with the hair swept into a standing reef over the forehead, sometimes as much as five inches high, ■nd seemingly supported by some inner cardboard or something.

If your blue net is getting that frayed look around the edges, try binding the bottom of the skirt with a ribbon a shade darker and then adding more rows of ribbons at intervals on the skirt. The dime sto>"e will furnish the material and you won't have to send it home to mother to fix. A blue ribbon suggestions—tie a multitude of little bows and tack them in a flurry down one side of your skirt. Use bright colors and don't be afraid of new color combinations. If you can sew, try a merger. Put a black net skirt over your rose or aqua taffeta. Save a scrap of net for a glamorous scarf for your hair. If you desire decorations, purchase a quantity of inexpensive flowers and sew them around your skirt about three to five inches from the waist. They serve a double purpose, make wilted net skirts sit out like new and change whole line of the dress. Just be extra sure you don't create any black looks from the seniors by wearing white. Remember, this is their dance.

Orchesis Continued from Page 3 movement In the religious and secular medieval manner with accents on costuming, color Staging and lighting. Prints of the painting which inspired the composition will be on display a week before the concert. These are Fra Flippo Lippi's "The Annunciation," Fra Cornevale's '"Birth of the Virgin", Gerald David's "The Annunciation" and Simone Martins "The Annunciation " "Carol" is the last number. It also evolved as a result of the study of paintings of which Sandro Batticelli's "The Nativity" is used. The fluttering ring of angels overhead suggested a carol which would be in keeping with the rest of the program. The Carol as a Christmas dance has a most interesting history. It dates back to the very first religious services, and signifies one of the many attempts made by the earlychurch fathers to combine the religious and secular music of the people. St. Francis of Assissi felt that the first Christmas should become a living reality in the minds of the young people in his congregation. The simple way was to dramatize the event, and have all the young poeple themselves participate in the celebration. A replica of an infant's cradle was set up in his church in Greece on Christmas Eve in 1224 and a lovely waxen doll was laid therein. To this holy altar the children brought sifts, the young people brought songs and dances, and the elders brought prayers as tribute to the new born King, the Presepium, or Creche, originated. As time went on, these creches in the churches became more popular and often most elaborate. But always there was dancing in a circle about the Creche and it was these circle dances that developed into the first Christmas Carols that have come down to us. Today the symbolism of all this remains. This program is under the direction of Miss Emily Kauzlarich, dance instructor, and will be held December 9, just after supper, before the senior dance. Girls included in the program are Betsy Caldwell, Betty Ellis. Vivian Edmunds. Shirley Cruiser Earlene Kimmerling, Heidi Lacey. Frances Lee, Edith Lovins, Margaret Har-

A small group is leaving early in the morning to celebrate Thanksgiving by a nearcross-country, including lunch on the trail complete with campflre and singing, and all should go well ... if the horses don't get in too thankful a mood.
