.Noi fA.e new Brrrrrr, somebody pound the wall quick! I'm freezing to death! This was the daily cry in room 12 every night from Ianuary through March. It seems that the thermostat stuck, and by pounding the wall next to it the temperature would rise-gradually. This year the Piper was published under greater handicaps than ever be- fore. Because of the high cost of print- ing and typesetting, it was necessary to raise the price of the book to 51.50. Nevertheless, our valiant crews of workersgstruggled through seemingly endless hours and came out victorious. Brilliant Frank Allen, business man- ager, juggled the books calmly and always with a smile on his face. Even during the times when he was tearing his hair over the prospect of obtaining bids from typesetters, the same inevit- able grin spread across his face. Some- how they always seemed to state a price fit for a set of encyclopedias rather than our own little Piper. Others on the business staff were Shep Crim, who held up his end of the deal by selling every available Piper with the capable help of Bud Gregory, his assistantg Diana Roosevelt, by working day and night, was able to sell enough advertising to help finance the book, she was aided by Frannie Newell, assistant ad manager. These people can all be seen in the business staff picture. Wait, though! The Piper wasn't Baldwin's only publication. The first semester journalism class, for all of its inexperience. proved willing and able to put out a really fine 1944 football program. Tom Cookerly was editor and working under him , were Ruth Harrell and Charlotte Mill, associate editorsg Frank Allen, business managerg Diana Roosevelt, ad manager: and Marilyn Harris, sales. Seen in the picture are the editor, sales manager, and Miss McGiffin, adviser. -RUTH HARRELL. -CHARLOTTE MILL.

7 een Canfeen A The Teen Canteen was organized to furnish a place to go for a good time. Under the direction oi Polly Hanson and Max Cornell, the whole Community House was opened tor games and dancing. The same low prices prevailed. Ad- mission, only a dime, cokes sold for a nickel. Doors opened at 7:30 and closed at 12. Hot dogs were on the menu until OPA rationed them. Since then various items have been substi- tuted. With the new year came change. New directors were installed. Dorothy Harris and Bill Larsen replaced Max and Polly, and permanent chairmen were appointed. It was arranged to keep the Canteen open until 12:30 every other Friday night. However, almost as soon as the new policy took effect, it was annulled by the WPB curfew. Altogether the Canteen met with considerable success: and through the hard work and hours of time spent by Canteen workers, its supporters have enjoyed many pleasant evenings. -BETTY CADY. .M .i Top: The spark behind the Teen Canteen was set oil by Dorothy Harris, Polly Hanson, Bill Larson, and Max Cornell.
