As long as we're dreaming, let's dream up something new and different for the old Alma Mater.: Say-a spring Magmolia Festival for instance. A post-war dream per~ but maybe not such a bad idea after all Thirty daylt'batb September; Pasadena hath the R6se Bowl; so why shouldn't Southeastern have a Magnolia Festival?

f?rchids l 0' Leaden . · .. : . Another hool !Year is ended. In this year Southeastern
has been som what hampered 'by low enrollment, ~ortages, and rna~ sor:rows that come with a war. But Southeastern has merg~ with an unbeaten spirit, land morale higher than i was ~ year ago. . •
In order {or ~organization to go through such a d~ vastating conflict ci em.erse so triumphantly, i it is neces; sary.' for that lorg tion to have good leaders. This neces-sary: leadersblp w ~orded by Southeastern's 1 handpicked student counqil, w have v.roved to i.ls !through the work they have dome, t we m~e wise choices. ·
Withouhry -sounding, flowery phases, we simply wan't the co cil to w that we appreciate the things they have done fo all us this y~ar--,the revival of many of Southeastern's old toms, such as tile Friendship, Fire, the recreation hours, u the stUdent book exc~ange-and for a new activity that e hope will beeome one of these customs, the all-school f dancer This danc:e was the crowning glory to put soci li e back on a. firm basis and to add the needed dignity our school pride.
The spnplest andl most sincere wp.y to say what we · are thinking, is, ''Thanks to your help, the year has been a success. We 1Jd ~ake h right choices."-L.E.M. . .

At ~e a~d ~embly last Thursday, Denton • Go8Sett was overheard to say that he thought he shoUld get an aW¥d for being the most ~ustrious boy in school. Herewith we wish to confer th~t hondr on-not· Dentonbut1 W~oite Walters . .

When Enurla Lee Collins sang at the ; Pi Kappa and Alpha Sig '"Gay Ninety Show'' May 3, one little girl described her breathtaking 1 loveli}less in one word. It was, "Gosh!!" ·(Was that one little girl the only 'one affected like that?) .
Seen1 at the Bond Carnival: Thelma Skinn,er keeping company for Calrroll Staton on the spot light platform at the Flora Dora Revue;, Bob ''Legs" Pratt pinchkicking in the chorus line; Gwen Cloer killing time--or making it-;with Perrin Flield soldiers, various and sundry; :Myra Jean Guthrie who kept telling her roommates that t.¥Y were cuttihg her chorus skirt too short.
If there is suddenly a rush on the part of the girls •for bottles of red tla.ir d~e, it is only because they have found out that Julius W. Kelly prefers red heads. Wonder why· he ~·t dy~ his hair red yet? Why !Jhouid he? Napo-leon didn'.t bavelred hair. ·
Warnings on the soft side to Betty Jean Thames about her new beau: rou~d better analyze him. Bets. . .
