Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 8,1951 From the Women’s Desk Babies, Beauties Highlight Week By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY Battalion Women’s Editor I F WE sound terribly unintelligible today, please spell in the waiting room of the maternity ward of a local hospital. As babies have a way of doing, this one announced its im minent arrival at the forsaken hour of 4 a. m. this morning, at which time neighbor Roger Coslett awakened us with an I-think-this-is-it tone to his voice. We packed the Mrs.’ bag and whisked her off to the hospital where at 9:38 a 6 lb. IS^-ounce daughter joined the Coslett household. Mother is doing beautifully; Baby shows her boredom with the whole affair by yawning in the faces of her visitors through the nursery window, and Father will doubtless pull through. He is in the business of passing out numerous cigars. Aside from the baby business, we’ve been going to lectures, club meetings, doctors, visiting and many other things. Last Friday we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, who besides being a suc cessful business woman and mother, is one of the most charming peo ple we’ve had the good fortune to know. Dr. Gilbreth’s address on “Scientific Management In Everyday Living,” contained many new and thought-provoking ideas. We were quite in agreement with one Aggie who came away from the lecture with his notepad blank. “If I’d taken a single note,” he said, “I would have missed something important. She packs a lot into a few words.” CALLING ALL WOMEN GOLFERS! Student wives who are interested in playing golf are invited to contact Mary Houston at 4-8531. Mary, a native of Warspite, Canada, is the wife of Doug Houston, aeronautical engineering major here. She thinks that surely a number of student wives besides herself are interested in golfing. Six lucky guys are going to have six extra-special beauties in tow when they attend the Military Ball Saturday night. They are the sponsors—and escorts—of the Vanity Fair winners. Fairest of the fair ones are Bettie Joy Bledsoe, blue-eyed blonde from Austin, date of Frank Thurmond; Robbie Watson, tall hazel-eyed blonde from Dal las, date of Dudley Hughes; Wanda Lou Sisk, many-times beauty Avinner from Houston, date of Bill Blackshear; Ann Marie Malcolm, hazel-eyed brownette from Abilene, date of J. D. Hinton; Helen Woodard, blue-eyed brownette of Houston, date of Russell Hagens, and Pat Hooten—Mrs. Don Hooten, blue-eyed brunette and the mother of a three-year-old son, who will be the date of her husband. Seniors are busily engaged in applying for jobs these Spring days—and hoping that Uncle Sam can iron out his difficulties so that they will be able to take jobs in civilian ranks. Not a day passes now that some senior isn’t seen with his uniform pressed to its best, or "suited” out talk ing to potential employers, or off to the big-or-little cities with a job in mind. The Kum Dubl Class of the A&M Methodist Church treated itself to a spaghetti supper Sunday night at the church. In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Blecher and their children, class sponsors, and the Rev. and Mrs. James Jackson and their young ones. Also enjoying the feast were 28 adults and 12 children. The party was planned by Jeanne and Charles McCullough, recreation chairmen. They were as sisted by Reba Cozart and Fern Reed. Everything went along nicely until one of the tables, heavily laden with food, gave way. This did not dampen the diners’ spirits for longer than it took to sweep aside the debris!

On the other hand, many pe pie who are genuinely ill are chee ful.” Superstitious, the doctor said, a not just robes of the past. Mar are still continued in practice l day in supposedly highly civilizr and educated circles. One great medical advance ' helping to insure better health f< everyday living has come in tl form of immunization against sue diseases as small pox, tetanus diphtheria.
