A&M in the fact that the past six
months her working hours began
at 4 in the afternoon and ended at
the dreary hour of 11; one hour
short of midnight.
“The hours really worked out
fine,” said the small brunette bus
ily working the complicated IBM
machines in the laboratory. “It
gave me more time for my house
work and saved us some $40 a
month for a baby sitter for our
five year old son, “little Bob”.
For a while Bob Sr., woi'ked
from one to four in the afternoon
in the civil engineering laboratory.
Little Bob and his mother would
meet Bob at the C.E. lab at four
as Helen continued on to work.
“The system worked out pretty
good and I even got my supper
fixed for me out of the deal”, she
went on to say. “Every evening
around 6 the two boys bring my
supper to me and visit for a short
while before Bob would have to
get down to his studying.”
Sunday afteimoons have been
their “family day” when all three
could enjoy being tog-ether before
another bustling week started.
Bob reports to work Feb. 1 at
the Dupont Atomic Energy plant
near Aiken, South Carolina. Du
pont has rented a three bedroom
house for them, will personally
pack every article except their
clothing, and will have their furni
ture all in place when they arrive.
The couple have attended Perk-
inston Junior College in Miss, for
two years, SMU for a year, and
then moved to College Station in
Sept, of ’54.

L00KY! LUCKY DR000LES! HAVE A BALL!
THERE’S NO QUESTION that Luckies taste better—■
they’re made of fine tobacco that’s TOASTED to
taste better. There’s no question in the Droodle above,
either (in case you were thinking it looked like a ques
tion mark). It’s titled: Captain Hook reaching for a
better-tasting Lucky. If you’d like to get your hooks
on the best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked, light
up a Lucky yourself. It’s jolly, Roger!
