Suggestions Offered For Gifts to Grads By JOY SPONSLER Now, the end of the aca demic year,., is when most, stu dents are in a state of confu sion trying to find the right gift for graduates on, their gift lists. It may be hard to think, of the “perfect” present but after a few helpful hints, ideas will accumulate fast. It is important to take into consideration the career which the graduate is entering. Many women are graduating with throughts of, marriage and a home uppermost in their minds. For these graduates the ideal gifts are those which can be used in their new homes. Give Her Silver , Silver makes an excellent gift—either place settings in the bride-to-be’s sterling, pat tern or perhaps a chest of plat ed flatware. Other welcome gifts in silver are candlesticks, a versatile silver bowl, trays, or a sugar and creamer set. -Every young bride needs pretty linens and towels when she star' her career as Mrs. Housewife. With the great va riety of colors and designs in sheets, pillowcases, and towels, choices will be hard to make. The young couple about to be married will welcome “ideas” as well as gifts. “Hub by” will appreciate the cook book his bride receives,' and why not give the groom-to-be a book of pointers on things he can do “around the house”? His bride will be glad to have someone who can fix a stopped up drain. What About Scarves? The style-conscious woman with a flare for smart dress ing will endorse some versatile accessories. No one will ap preciate more than she the col orful scarves that can be worn, at the throat, in the hair, around the waist, or peeking pertly from a side pocket. The fashionable woman also will like some bright artificial flowers to dress up her ward robe. One might even give that best friend some stationery so she’ll have no excuse for not •Writing letters after ' gradua tion. If she is a systematic per son who doesn’t like to forget birthdays, give her a birthday book. A bright leather-covered Cabinet Handbook Will Not Be Published No Student Government Handbook will be published this year, All-University sec retary-treasurer Robert Homan said Thursday night. According to Homan and Robert Smoot, president of Hat • Society Council, only-eight student government reports were submitted. Last year the booklet pub lished reports from all student government officers, including student council presidents, In terfraterniiy and Panhellenic Council presidents. Association of Independent Men and Le onides president, and heads of various campus committiees. The First National Bank ®§ State College Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Federal Reserve System address book will help the graduate keep track of class mates after they leave the campus. Don't Forget the Men We mustn’t forget the men on the gift-list. The old saying, “It’s so difficult to find any thing for a man,” just isn’t true any longer. There are 23 different pieces of jewelry in the well-dressed man’s wardrobe. Among _ the most popular jewelry received by the graduate are cuff links, tie clips, belt buckles,. identi fication bracelets, watch brace lets, collar pins, and rings. One can select these gifts in silver, karat gold, gold filled, or gold plated whatever fits the budget best. For fhe Photographer - Tired of giving him jewelry? Then consider the things he en joys doing in his spare time. Does he always carry his trusty camera with him? The stores are offering all kinds of equip ment to make his picture tak ing more efficient and fun. Or is fishing his favorite pastime? One can find racks of fishing equipment at any sports store. The athletic gentleman’s eyes will shine when his best pal gives him a new golf club, or a golf bag, or perhaps a new tennis raquet. For the “hot rod” fan how about a new set of seat covers for his car? The sleepy roommate who will be traveling after gradua tion will be in dire need of a travel alarm clock. Remember, you won’t be there to wake him in the morning after June 7. Books Make Gifts New books are being pub lished every day. Add these, or a magazine subscription, to the gift list. Have some musi cally inclined friends? Help build up their record libraries with an album of latest record ings. Most important, consider the person to whom you are giving the gift and give something you know he will like or find useful in the new life he is en tering. Once the gift is found, wrap it in a pretty package and you will be>ready to wish the grad uate lots of luck and happi ness in his new venture into the “big wide world.” Griffith Wifi Leave For Germany June 19 Eleanor Griffith, eighth semes ter home economics major, will sail for Germany on June 19 where she will spend six months under the 4-H Clubs International Farm Youth Exchange program.
