MANY FROM HERE GO TO COLLEGES

School Well Represented in Institutions of Higher Learning in State

        September once more ushers in the opening of the various colleges 
through out the country, and judging by the number of Ponchatoula girls and 
boys who will leave home this month in pursuit of a higher education, the 
depression has not worked such hardships on this section of the state after all.
        The majority of the Ponchatoula younger generation will not leave their 
state to attend school this year, but have decided to attend the state 
institutions, with a few entering private colleges.
        Of the larger schools L.S.U. heads the list, by attracting six local 
students. Miss Carmen Palmer will continue to do graduate work as well as T. C. 
Anderson, who received his degree in engineering there last June.  Mary Alice 
Hungate will enter the school of music as a freshman, while Milton Baham, 
James Goodman, Merlin Pusey and Lloys Mollere will also attend for their first 
time.
        Pat Richardson has returned to Tulane where he will receive his degree 
next spring.  Cage Harris will be a senior in pharmacy.  Byard Edwards will also 
return to the New Orleans university, while Ross Kevlin will embark on a medical 
career.
        Mary Alford, Anna Carruth and Ursula Davies return to Normal again, 
taking Ruth Heitman with them as a freshman.
        Irwin Davis left the early part of this week for South Bend where he will 
enter the sophomore class of Notre Dame.
        Adele Bodker will be Ponchatoulašs sole representative at Newcomb-a 
freshman.
        Charles and Gladys Van Vranken and Lucian Branch will return to 
Perkinston Junior college in Mississippi.
        To Southeastern Louisiana college in Hammond goes the honor of 
drawing the largest number of local high school graduates.  Among those that 
will attend this college are Bailey Jenkins, Lee Tuttle, Percy Richardson, 
William Hawkins, Margaret Vinyard, Doris Gaude, Olga Ebrecht, Lucille Guwang, 
Bertha Mollere, Vivian Chastant, Rosalie Haight, Janice Colmer, Ila Mae King and 
Mary Schmidt.
