WeS TheP eeBy aper— We have the Y.W., the Y.M., Science Club, Gold Diggers, Purple Pansies, and Pi Delta Dheta to occupy the time of the active students. Through these grou.ps the history cf the college is made, but none of these groups is interested in record- ing the events so that they might be remembered and re-lived. That has been the aim of Grizzly Growls and its correspondents through the past year: to reflect the happenings of concern to the school. The journalism group is composed of all stu- dents who seem interested in the work. No dues nor restrictions, and few rules have been inflicted upon the members. All meetings were as in- formal as a quilting bee. Copy for the official publication originated in the minds of all earnest college journalists. Some of the gossip was per- haps a trifle revealing at times and frequently it was necessary to make amends to some offended reader. For the first semester the staff consisted of Max Jones, editor,- Clara Gamble, assistant editor; Eloise Williams, organizations,- Virgil Simpson, sports,- George Shumway, news,- Ralph Redburn, features,- and L. W. Nixon as sponsor advisor. Other enthusiastic contributors were Mary Grist, Elizabeth Anne Tweedy, Mary Golden, Mary Margaret Miller, Margaret Lewis, Anita Moss, and Charles Sappingron. To con form with custom changes in the staff were made for the second semester. George Shumway served as editor with Charles Cassel as an assistant ' Betty Frank, organizations,- Willard Burch, sports Eloise Williams, news,- and Ralph Redburn features. Mr. Greenbank of the Butler County News deserves emission from the larger end of the trumpet as it was through him and his publishing facilities that Grizzly Growls was made at all possible. The members fe«l that they have nothing to apologize for. Neither do they believe that anyone has been amazed or astonished over the quality of their work, but they ' have done as ably as could reasonably be expected. That their records will not be broken is doubted and im- provements over their methods by students in fol- lowing years is desired. Without this there is an absence of progress and growth. — George Shumway Pa-,e Sixteen

The small but mighty band of Juco scientists ' met each Wednesday to prove the value of their scientific knowledge. Ed Zimmerman was president,- Harold Tate, vice-president,- and Charles Cassel, secretary. Mr. Coffman spon- sored the club. The project for the first semester was the con- struction of a three tube short wave receiver. With the passing of several meetings and an electric soldering iron or two the set took shape. Then one Saturday night, about twelve members of the club, five pounds of hamburger, and a pound of coffee collected in the chemistry lab- ratory to listen for the first signals of the set. Early in the evening the hamburger dis- appeared. The president demonstrated Wimpy ' s scientific method for annihilating ground beef sandwiches. Several quarts of synthetic lemonade and coffee were sent after the hamberger. One of the high points of the evening was the dis- covery of a new drink — coffee flavored with citric acid. Th Willy Wier). e result is truly surprising (ask When the short wave set was hooked up it proved to be a howling success. It was also a squealing and whistling success. The radio ex- ceeded all expectations in respect to power. It was so powerful that it burned out six tubes in two split seconds (or three tubes per split second). Radio conditions were very poor that night so the set was disconnected to be worked on in the future. The second semester project was an eight inch reflective telescope. Under the direction of chief astronomers Tate and Zimmerman the lense grinding was started the night of the radio party. The lense wa s ground to a parabola by a glass tool and powdered carborundum. The lense was then polished with rouge (din t it awful) and silvered. The mounting was made of two inch pipe and the rear end of a ford. Th? telescope promised to be a great success as the club took a great deal of interest in it. Almost an abnormal interest, for the vice-presi- dent was heard to say one day, Boy! it would have been swell telescoping last night. I almost took the girl home and got out the telescope.
