Extra-Curricular Activities Can Get You Down,' Antonia Warns
People do not know who Antonia Martinez is, but "Toni" Martinez? nat's a different matter. Toni, who can't remember when she was last ferred to as Antonia, is one of the energies on the campus—a well-known rasonality.
She is president of Henley house, the NJWCA headquarters, and of the international club. She belongs to e Kappa Phi Methodist sorority, e Spanish club, and the Lawrenceague for the Practice of Democry.
Her name was on the Dean's honor last year, but missed by a few points this semester. Far from being bitter, Toni said enthusiastically. "It embs to me that this year is the biggest in the history of K.U. There are so many people, so many things ing on. The only danger is getting so absorbed in extra-curricular activities that one neglects to study." Toni's major is Spanish education. he looks forward to graduation in me, after which she plans to teach according to Toni, the middle school a college education and the most trying. You're in the middle of an amorous adventure, and you now so much depends on your decisions. You can hardly remember be beginning or see the end of your life."
Toni, who came here after graduation from the Arkansas City Junior college, is fond of K.U. and Henley house. "It's a tosse-up which I like est" she observed.
"Tve visited other colleges, but one had KU's appeal. Here at tenley house, the spirit of cooperative lying is ideal.
Living in such a manner, we girls learn to know each other thoroughly. As an example of our cooperation, take the preparation of meals. Menus to us are never rigorous plans to be followed to the letter—they are elastic. We frequently change our minds both on menus and recipes. After meals, we don't just leave, but wash the dishes together, making it fun, not drudgery."
During the spring semester last year, Toni left school for a month to take the long-desired journey to Mexico. "Among my luggage was a suitcase full of books I never opened," she observed. "When I returned I was so refreshed I could really concentrate and I had been to Mexico at last. Someday I want to return for a visit. You can have any scenery you want within a few hours by car—the ocean, plains, mountains, or tropical forests. However, I have no desire to live in Mexico; it is too different from the good old U.S."
Toni began college expecting to major in French. Prospects of a trip to Mexico caused her to turn to Spanish.
Toni said her favorite hobby in addition to cooking is buying shoes. "Every trip downtown is an excuse to add another pair to my collection. I go for any color under the sun. Sometimes this craving for color results in an unwise selection. I own some shoes which I never find occasion to wear." she admitted.
