.Sometimes it is hard to praise a person until that praise
must be m nieinoriam. Yet with JIiss (trace Margaret Morton
it was easy last year, and it is easy now to pay tribute to an
outstanding instructor and textile scholar.
The home economics department suffers a keen loss in
the passing of Miss Morton, who was associate professor
and head of the textiles and clothing division. She came to
the university 23 years ago and has developed one of the
country's important divisions in the field of textiles and
clothing, both because of her keen insight and because she
was progressive and constructive in her thinking about prob
lems pertaining to the curriculum. As need arose, new and
timely courses were introduced ever a necessity in this
changing educational world.
Miss Morton was greatly admired by her students, her
colleagues and her many friends, all of whom feel her passing
as a distinct personal loss. Her teaching and personality are
irreplaeable.
Her recent book, "The Arts of Costume and Personal
Appearance," which has received a most enthusiastic re
sponse, has the distinction of being selected as one of the 60
most outstanding textbooks in the field of art. In years to
come this work will stand as a symbol of the unusual person
who wrote it.
'Gift Coeds' . . .

tion asking for none other than

KhaVi Claims Prize.
First khaki clad lad to receive
his 'gift coed' was Pfc. Patsy Noto
who doubles in poetry also. His
description called for none other
than cute Alpha Chi freshman,
Betty Ed Strain. Fourth winner
was Pfc. Jim Wegener, dental stu
dent who asked Santa for pert
Janic Wilson, dorm freshman.
Delt Gordon Ehlers was the next
lucky man to the stage to carry
off with him chic Margaret Reece
of the Alpha Phi house. Pvt. Colin
Lewis didn't think Nebraska had
anything to offer for what he
wanted but Santa looked in his
little black book and found smooth
Theta Ginny Malster who fit the
bill to a tee.
After the presentation the six
couples descended the stage steps
to the dance floor and danced to
the strains of "White Christmas."
Santa Claus then circulated thru
the crowd throwing candy and
cigarets to the dancers.
Forgotten Lovely?
Then there was the little black
sheep with "dilusions." Just after
Santa had presented the last gift
coed, a creature In long black
stockings ulightly ragged at the
knees, pig tails done up in loud
bows, obnoxious freckles, buck
teeth, and wearing a short cotton
creation with a dipping hem ap
peared on the stage and said in a
mild roar, "Hey, you've forgotten
me." No one in the audience
seemed to think that this "lovely"
was the answer to his Christmas
'dream.
Santa Clans was portrayed by
Sgt. Aaron Long of the STAR unit
and Betty Rhodes was the creature
with the teeth.

Dear Santa Claus:
"Starting at the top down, she
must have shoulder length hair
ranging in color from blond to
chestnut, a pleasant rather than
beautiful face, with wide set eyes,
sparkling teeth. I'm not too par

it's like G rable's. In short, a 5
foot 5 bundle of pleasantness."
He says it is an easy bill to fill in

Dear Santa:

And I'll really believe in Santa

Dear Santa Claus:
I want a sophomore coed about
19. Since my stockings are only
socks, she must be small, about
5 feet 2 inches and weigh 104. She
should have dark hair, blue-green
eyes, soft red lips and a tooth

complexion with a few freckles
for seasoning. Kayo Loudon.

Dear Santa Claus:
"I've always been a good boy
And never asked for much
That's why I dare this letter
In other words, 'the touch.'
I'm gettin' to the age now
Where I gotta have a gal.
Please drop her in my stocking
Com' on Santa, be a pal.
She has to be a brownette
Have dark eyes, a lovely smile.
Be conscious of her posture.
Have zip and pep and style.
Please see she's not a dummy
And yes, she must have poise
She isn't to be fickle,
And fall for all the boys.
Her hair must have long tresses
Her face a starboard dimple,
Cherubs on the hemline
And a figure far from simple.
One other stipulation,
And this ain't just hot breeze,
"She's got 'em, she's got 'em
And I don't mean B.V.D.'s."
Bob Ferguson.
Dear Santa:
I want a real life dolly all my
own. She must be a cute dolly,
vivacious, alluri lg and demuring.
She must excell in dancing as well
as romancing. All in alj a cuddle

Pvt. Jim Wegener.
Dear Santa:
I want a girt any fellow would
like to have around, 5 foot 2 with
eyes of blue, I think. Golden
brown i.air and a face that is al
ways bright and cheerful.
