For Summer
Baptist Set Class Times
The Baptists of College Station
and Bryan announced this week
the schedule for Bible classes to
meet on Thursday mornings and
Tuesday evenings during the sum
mer months.
The study will be divided into
two six weeks periods with classes
Mobiles
meeting for two hour sessions.
The first six weeks will be an
intensive study of the hook of
Romans and the second a survey of
the Old Testament prophets.
Course titles are “A Harmony of
Prophetic Scriptures” and “An In
tensive Study of the Book of
in Your Home--II
Classes Are Jammed
By Eager Devotees
(Ed. note—This is the se
cond in a series of four articles
about the use of mobiles in
home decoration.)
The mbhile’, a series of shapes
connected by wire arms and related
through balance, form and color,
is making a tremendous impact on
home decoration.
John Lynch, who has been mak
ing mobiles since 1945 and has
sold hundreds to stores and deco
rators, has an explanation.
“In this modem age in which
practically everything is done for
us‘,” he says, “people still like to
do something for themselves.”
Mobile kits are available which
include materials and parts for
several mobiles; classes teaching
children and adults to make mobiles
are jammed at various ai’t
museums and public woikshops.
The mobile is not a fad, Lynch
thinks. “It’s here to stay.”
About using the mobile in home
decoration he has some definite
ideas. It can be hung anywhere
there is enough room for it to
move freely and not look closed in.
For the best effect, it should be
hung at eye level or a little higher,

They can hang with nothing under

just hanging. A piece of paper tied

Use this new NAS service, espe
cially designed to help students
who are undecided about their
career after college.
There’s no reason to worry if you
still haven’t decided what you’re go
ing to do after college. Most students
haven’t. But there’s also no reason to
wait until the last few months before
graduation to do something about it.
Your Placement Bureau will tell you
how much better off a college gradu
ate is when he knows exactly what he
wants to do and where he wants to
work.
This new NAS service is designed
to help you consider your business
career while you’re still in College. It’s
aimed to give you practical, first-hand
information about the fields that in
terest you most from leading com
panies in those fields.
NAS can do this because, as Ameri
ca’s largest college newspaper rep
resentatives, we work directly with
many of the biggest and most impor
tant companies in the country. These
companies are constantly on the look
out for promising college-trained
prospects. So this new NAS plan is a
service both to college students and to
business executives.
The coupon below covers the fields
in which the greatest opportunities
exist today. You check those that in
terest you as a possible career. We’ll
do our best to see that your inquiry
is referred to one or more, leading
companies in those fields. Of course,
we can’t guarantee a response. We are
merely volunteering our services as a
link between the campus and the
business world. But in many cases
you’ll hear directly from leading com
panies in the fields you’ve chosen.
Their information should first of
all give you a practical, down-to-earth
picture of what the industry itself
offers in the way of a career. Sec
ondly, at the company level, it may
include valuable facts and figures
about working conditions, pay, and
chances for promotion. Finally, fill
ing in this coupon may even lead to
job offers that would otherwise never
have come your way.
Wouldn’t you like to approach
graduation absolutely certain of what
you want to do—perhaps with a good
job waiting for you? The sooner you
start to use this service, the more in
formation you collect, the better your
chance to land the right job after col
lege. Even if you’re still a sophomore
or a junior, it’s not too early to begin.
Fill in this coupon now. Keep using
this service as often as you wish.
