Resort Miss Well man And Miss Aycock Met President Elect At Warm Springs Two Carolina co-eds will be especially interested in the inauguration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on March 4. These two girls, Miss Mary Stewart Aycock, freshman, and Miss Ruth Wellman, sophomore, had the pleasure of knowing Roosevelt personally, having met him on many occasions while vacationing at Warm Springs resort. Both co-eds seem impressed with the president elects' strong, vivid personality and his athletic physique. Miss Aycock was particularly impressed with his broad powerful shoulders and athletic frame. And he is an athlete, says the other, Miss Wellman. As a swimmer he is excellent, delighting especially in water polo and water football. His powerful stroke, she says, easily makes him the outstanding aquatic star of the resort. He rides quite a bit and makes a fine figure on a horse. When you are talking to him, the two girls said, he makes you seem just as important as he is, his personality making it impossible for one to be self-conscious in his presence. The most distinguishing points about him are his infectious smile, his laugh, and his voice. He is an impetuous conversationalist, with a pleasing tone of voice and clear, cultured enunciation. These three qualities, physical appearance, interests, and personality, mark him out as a born leader of men and a friend not easily forgotten. i ICY leaves of ikish tobacco strung to dry cure in the sun.
