A questionnaire sent members of the class of the girls’ high school here revealed no preference for the man without a sense of humor. The seniors preferred men with col- lege educations, but did not de- mand such training, although their husbands must be capable, thought- ful and not wall flowers. Most of the girls expect to go somewhere every night, four or five nights a week, when they are married. One girl banned golf playing, and another put up a barrier against traveling salesmen. Not one of the girls said she had rather have a career than a husband. Business men ranked next to doc- tors in the girls’ choice, several wanted civil engineers, some archi- tects, one an ambassador, one a politician and some said: “It matters not, so long as he loves me.” > A painting of Roald Amundsen’s ship “Gjoa” has been presented the Norwegian-American Historical Mu- seum at Luther College, Decorah, Towa, by the artist, ¥Yngar Son- nichsen.
