MORALE BUILDERS ers of the seriousness in which the enrollees take their intellectual drilling. Others go to the gymnasium to build up those muscles for oncoming attacks. Under the command of Mr. Johnson, boys’ gym in- structor, the boys engage in boxing and fencing, learning how to defend themselves from their foes. Reading the orders of the day, Miss Gib- son, girls’ gym instructor, sends her squads off to duty on the gym-floor ground. The girls delight in fencing and playing badmin- ton and ping pong. The draftees of the home economics regi- ment, preceding their Christmas furlough, made stuffed toys for the orphans’ home. This regiment is in constant active duty be- fore assembly.

Summons were also sent to and answered by professors from the University of Iowa, Northwestern university, and the University of Wisconsin. Sometime in fall—The Blaekhawk passed inspection with flying colors and went over the top to capture the flag of honor. With pride, the 29th regiment remembers that it won the Quill and Scroll International Honor award given to papers of superior achievement. And with inflated chests it speaks of that second place in the Columbia Scholastic Press association after competing with 1600 papers. December 7, 1941 — Early Sunday morning Japanese planes made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Journalists everywhere began to realize the worldwide significance of the “fourth estate.” January 31, 1942—The mid-year Quill and Scroll banquet was held at the Outing club. The details are a military secret, but pledges were informally reviewed before joining the ranks of full-fledged members.
