CORNER
Discover Your Real Self—
T'HERE is everything to be said against acquiring personality
by imitation and nothing to be said for it, in my observa-
tion. At best, the imitation can be only skin deep.
Perhaps you wish you had as good a personality as some
other student does, and that this student can put personality
on and take it off at will. You will find, however, that such stu-
dents, who have the reputation of “turning on’’ their person-
ality when they wish particularly to impress others, also have
a reputation for insincerity. This reputation will quickly de-
stroy many chances that would otherwise be theirs and the
finest reputation that anyone can have is that of being trust-
worthy.
So we know that a pleasing personality is one that is
pleasing to others, and it is well worth the time and study to
develop your personality.—Donna Gappa.
Fashion
Spotlights
BY HELEN DOLEZAL
VTOW that it is spring, every-
one has put away winter
clothes and is wearing spring
cottons. Here are a few of the
many beautiful ensembles worn
to school ihis spring.
The dress any girl would
dream of owning is LaDonna
Helm's sleeveless, seafoam blue,
long torso apparel. This breezy,
copl fashion appears with ties at
shoulders and a round neckline.
She wears white flats to com-
plete her outfit.
Barbara Fuller is the trimmest
spectator in school when she
wears a sleeveless, gathered
dress with navy blue squares
aigl flowered figures dotted with
rhinestones on a white back-
ground and buttons down to be-
low the waist in the back. A
nary bolero, with material on
tht1 cuffs and collar matching
the dress, makes a sleek looking
duo. White flats are worn to ac-
company her style.
Fashion perfect for young stu-
dents this snrigg js JtKjy Kemi's
pink and white check bib jumper
with black dots assembled about
it. It is paired off with a pink
baby doll blouse. To finish her
wardrobe, she wears black flats.
Cool sighs of approval will fol-
low Billie Jean Cacy all sum-
mer in her red and black print
quilted skirt worn with a black
short-sleeved blouse that buttons
down the front. This attractive
attire is worn with grey suede
loafers and white bobby sox.
Bob Slocum is certainly sport-
ing good looks when he wears his
terrific, boldly striped, royal
blue and white shirt that has a
white collar and two buttons in
the front. With this pleasing ap-
pearance, he wears jeans, blue
socks with little red dots and
black shoes.
Janet Mitchell captures the
spring spotlight when she wears
a cream skirt designed with
.avocado butterflies and gold
leaves and as its partner, an
avocado short-sleeved blouse.
Her excellent taste is fashioned
with black loafers and white bob-
by sox.

How Can I?
TIME TO QUIT
ADRIAN. Mich. —(IPt— Fred Will-
now figured that at 82 he was get-
ting too old to drive, so he sold his
1928 Chevrolet, still as shiny as
the day he bought it 28 years ago.
Q. How can I clean clothes
brushes, whisk broom, and hat j
brushes?
A. Dip them up and down in
warm water, to which a little soda I
has been added. Dry in the sun.
Q. How can I get all the dust out
of an oiled mop?
A. Instead of shaking the dust
out of the oiled mop, try brushing
it with a whisk broom. This will
take out all the dust and keep the
mop nice and fluffy.
Comedy skits in Spanish were
presented in Adelante meeting
Monday. The short plays were pre-
sented by Sandra Harrison, Jake
Bloom, Harvey Plaut, and Ryan
