75 Will Attend AWS Leadership Program
About 75 high schol senior girls will attend the Associated Women Student's High School Leadership Day Saturday, said Mary Jean Eckles, Fond du Lac, Wis. sophomore and chairman of the day.
Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall, where George B. Smith, dean of University, will give the welcoming address. Mortar Board members will present a panel discussion on "It Takes All Kinds," a discussion on how all the high school girls will fit in at the University.
After the luncheon the seniors will break up into small discussion groups with college students to discuss "The Big Change," the transition between high school and college.
A luncheon for the visiting seniors will be held at 12:15 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Student Union. Members of AWS and other University women will attend the luncheon. Betty Lou Gard, 1954-55 AWS president will talk on "So This Is College."
Mes. Helen Powell, keynote speaker for the day and a University alumna, will speak on "It's Your Life" at 3 p.m. in the lecture room of Spooner-Thayer Hall.
The girls who attend are chosen for outstanding high school leadership. Miss Eckles said.
The high school students will attend the Rock Chalk Revue Saturday.
The girls will stay at North College Hall, Corbin Hall, or Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall.
Discussions will stress transition between high school and college life and the fact that leaders in high school should not lose their potential when they come to college, Dorothy Sheets, Topeka senior and former AWS president said.
All University women may attend the panel discussion and take part in the discussion groups, Miss Sheets said.

"There are more fun in getting costumes by picking them out at these shops," Miss MacMorris said. "I've always wanted to shop for the worst combinations I could find. It's amazing how bad your taste can be if you give it a chance.
Poor Taste Is Keynote In Costuming 'Kind Lady'
Titles can be misleading. "Kind Lady," last Studio Theatre production of the season which will be presented at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday in Fraser Theater, prove this.
Not all costumes used by the Studio Theatre are acquired in this manner. Some have to be made, others are bought new, and still others are dug out of old attics.
"Of course as far as the character in the play is concerned, she is a kind lady, but when it comes to one production problem, I can think of more apt words," said Nathaniel Eek, Studio Theatre director.
Rainier Makes Final Plans
"This play was originally produced on Broadway in 1935. We have made it contemporary. This means finding suitable modern costumes for several penniless characters. In fact one of the characters is a slightly-demented young woman. We didn't have the right clothes in our wardrobe and you just don't walk into any shop and ask for a blouse for a slightly-demented young woman," Mr. Eek said.
True Binford, Overland Park freshman, Lee MacMorris, Hutchinson junior, and Mr. Eek have been searching thrift shops for clothes that were suitably baggy, shiny, and spotted.
"We found several things at the Salvation Army outlet. They just let us wander through the stacks until we find things we might want and then one of the girls tries them on." Mr. Eek said.
"We get a lot of strange looks when one of us is dressed in a purple blouse and bright green skirt," Miss MacMorrison added. "The other two look as critical as if it were a Paris fashion show and then say, 'this is perfect.'
"Shoes are always fun to look for, too. They are all in one big pile and you find one that will do your biggest job till you need. You have to find the other one."
LE HARVE, France (UP)—Prince Rainier III returned today to Europe to make final plans for his marriage to Miss Grace Kelly.

Hob Nail Hop QueenPicked
Charlotte W. Brown, Burbank, Calif., freshman, was selected Thursday night as queen of the Hob Nail Hop, a dance for students of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The honor of choosing the queen had been given to the lawyers by the engineers last week. However, when the lawyers' choice ended in a draw between Miss Brown and Sarah K. Waddell, Salina junior, the Engineering Council settled the selection.
The queen will be crowned at the intermission of the dance Saturday in the Student Union Ballroom.
