Contest Ends
After the manifestation of
usual enthusiasm on the part of
the student body, the popularity
contest ended Friday preceding
the Christmas holidays. The lucky
candidates were Mary Ted Gunn,
a Sophomore, and Raymond Bil-
lings, a Senior. The other candi-
dates nominated were Floyd Bil-
lings, a Sophomore, the two Jun-
iors—Wanda Horn and Joe Hub-
bard, and a Senior, Virginia Roy.
The Sophomores are to be
especially commended for their
loyal support since they raised
mort than twice as much money
as did the Seniors, their nearest
contenders. $97.96 was realized
from this contest which will go to-
ward defraying the expenses in-
volved in publishing the annual.
The beauty contest, which is
the final contest, will begin about
January 28, to run for two weeks.

When figured materials and mE'nlv 1 IYlrt.IVE.lvO

is hard to resist such; but if a
stout girl must appear slender she
must use discretion in her selec-
tions. Never use circled material

width.
The plump girl should avoid
such materials as velvets, taffetas
and metal cloths. Instead of these
she should wear clothes of soft
clinging materials.
In making the clothes avoid j
horizontal lines, tucks, wide pan-|
nels, frills, ruffles, bulky trim- j
tilings, raglan sleeves, and pockets.
They can be made with narrow
panels, circular or plaited skirts
below the knees but never

The one rule for a stout girl to
follow is simplicity. If it is simple
and tailored it will usually ac-
complish her purpose.
