S. — Look out, Washington D.C.,; here they come! Yes, the seniors will be heading in that direction once again.

This annual trip has always proved to be a profitable and enjoyable experience. — M. H. Sj — The Rev. Carroll Myers from the Church of Christ was the chapel speaker January 7. ‘ After being introduced by Larry Hoffman, Rev. Myers gave a very interesting talk on the goals of life. M. H. S. — ’ •As this is my last report from good ole M.H.S., I would like to say that I have enjoyed writing about the occurrences around Monmouth each week. Writing this column has •be'en a very good and educational experience for. me and I hope that everyone will continue to read this column throughout the rest of the yea* The next reporter will be another senior, John Fuhrman, the first boy to report from a high school.

a leading suit and coat designer. "Fashion’s transition is faster because our world is growing smaller,” said Vincent Montesano, vice-president of Monte-Sano and Pruzan, and son of the firm's co-founder. “A new style is communicated so rapidly it soon becomes an old style.” Monte-Sano said however that the demise of the chemise could be blamed on the fashion itself—because it "looked great on only a few women, and like the dickens on the majority.” ?’

"A woman buys an outfit because it flutters her," said MonteSano, whose firm Monday previewed its spring collection. “If she gets a lift, it then follows that she will draw compliments from others. There is a lot to be said for the psychological effect of a dress.” Sleeves Above Elbow His firm is a member of the couture group of the New York Dress Institute which this week is ‘showing Its spring styles tb women's and fashion editor?.

Monte-Sano’s firm has chopped coat and suit sleeve lengths to a new high—above the elbow—and, said the designer, “chopped 10 years oft the Appearande of the wearer,” ' , ■■ The above-elbow sleeve he said was a “natural outgrowth of the push-up sleeve which women loved. But why push up; why not cut off. The shorter sleeve is younger looking.” Here are highlights of collections from other firms so far: Nettie Rosenstein — This veter-
