No Rest For Cupid Despite War
Despite the new blanket of snow that ushered in St. Valentine's Day, the anniversary of that patron of lovers, traditionally marks the beginning of Spring.
February 14, 1944, witnesses a new kind of St. Valentine's Day. Gone, for the present, but not forgotten, are the days when coeds rushed to the door to see who would receive the tissue-wrapped florist bouquet, the box of chocolates, or the scented box which strongly suggested perfume.
But the spirit of this much-degenerated festival day is as strong as ever, although expressed in a different manner. While the men are fighting to make a safe place for democracy, college women are fighting in their own way. They work as nurse's aides, or roll bandages for the Red Cross, buy war bonds with money once used for luxuries, (now unheard of) like nylon hose, and give to the blood bank, to mention a few of the numerous war-time activities.
Timeworn verses about roses being red and violets being blue, decorated with cupids fluttering above, for those who wish to express their ardor, along with jocular anonymous letters, are not entirely forgotten this year. Today, however, many valentines are V-mail letters to and from remote corners of the earth.
Sherbon Retires After 25 Years
Dr. Florence B. Sherbon retired as professor of child care in the home economics department Friday upon reaching her 75th birthday. She had been connected with the department for nearly 25 years.
A selection of French, Italian, German, and English songs will be sung tonight by Miss Irene Peabody, mezzo-soprano, in her faculty recital at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater.
In her first group, Miss Peabody will sing Bach's "Bist Du Bei Mir," "My Heart Ever Faithful, Sing Praises," and "Ah! Mio Cor," an aria from "Alcina," by Handel.
The dinner, which had been planned in honor of her retirement, could not be given as Dr. Sherbon has been ill for the past several weeks. Instead, a memorial scrapbook containing testimonials from many of her associates was given to her by the University.
Peabody Announces Concert Program
In the final English group will be (continued to page two)
Two of Schubert's songs, "Lieb Der Mignon" and "Gretchen Am Spinnrade" are in the second group. Miss Peabody will also sing "Marien-wurmehorn," from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn," by Schumann, and the "Scene of Andromache," from "Achilleus" (Bruch).
In the third group of songs will be "Novembre" (Tremisot), "Tambourin," an 18th century melody, and "Recitative and Air of Lia," (Debussy).

The舞 in the new Military Science building climaxed the CVC War Stamp and Bond drive and brought the figure of total contributions for the drive up to $19,090, nearly four times the drive goal.
Runners-up for queen were Dorothy Warren, College freshman from Cedar Billings, Mont., member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, and Jane Atwood, Gamma Phi Beta and College freshman from Gardner. Kingley Directed Army Band
About 400 persons danced to the music of an army band under the direction of Walter Kingsley, ASTP from Larchmont, N.Y. R. J. Atkinson, Engineering junior, acted as master of ceremonies and introduced the queen at 11 p.m. Miss Shryock drew for the lucky bond, the winner of whom was Samuel DiSaverio, ASTP from Philadelphia, Pa.

Shirkey, pastor of the Travis Park Methodist church of San Antonio, Texas, began the observance of Religious Emphasis Week on the campus with his convocation at 9:45 this morning in Hoch auditorium.

"We need to build a different kind of world," Dr. Shirky declared. "It belongs to the youth of this generation to grapple with the problems that exist, and to make of the world in our time a brotherhood where black, yellow, red, and white can stand side by side, each giving his own contribution."
