Norman Chaffee Hobby Hobnob By Pat Venneman Architectural Drawing My combined hobby of architectural drawing and designing plus model railroading gives me many hours of pleasure and entertainment as well as many opportunities to develop useful skills. For the past three or four years I have been interested in house plans. I’ve made model homes which I myself de- signed. Right now I am working on a house plan as part of my Industrial Arts Club project. To date I’ve drawn about twenty-five house plans. I think this will help me greatly in my proposed profession architecture. Railroading may sound like something for little children but it is not. In fact, more grownups have model railroading as a hobby than do children. This is the third most popular hobby in the United States. Model railroading is not just buying little engines and cars; a good layout has everything to exact scale- buildings, people, mountains, bridges, etc. I have built quite a number of little buildings for the towns on my layout, some of which are: Will Hammonds General Store, Aunt Polly’s Curio Shop, and Doc Holliday’s Office. Altogether, I have about twenty buildings, water towers, etc. Within a year, I hope to make my first steam en- gine. I already have three trains for my layout. I think this hobby is quite fascinating. John Koetting (Freshman) 23

Photo by Jim North Mother and daughter are guest and hostess respectively as Mary Ann Lambour serves her mother at the Mother-Daughter Tea. Mother-Daughter Tea Sunday afternoon, October 18, the Foods class played hostess to the girls of Sister Marianne’s sewing classes and their mothers. A steady stream of mothers and daughters flowed into the conference lab of the sewing room from two until four o’clock. The table setting provided the conversation piece for the afternoon. Fall leaves and brightly colored chrysanthemums were centered between two lighted candles on a table cloth of blue net. The mothers toured the foods and clothing lab where projects com- pleted by the first and second year sewing classes were on display. The tea provided an opportunity for the girls, their mothers, and the teachers to “get acquainted. Mary Ann Lamboiu LIKELY LIT — (Continued from page 21) writing. It also tells the complicated maneuvers Mary Kelly had to go through to perform a simple movement. For example: To get into a car she had to be lifted on a cot through the window of the car. Then she had to lie at an angle with her head out of the window due to the length of the cot. I think that everyone who reads this book is bound to be influenced by Mary Ellen Kelly’s kindness, gentleness, and eagerness. Pat Wright (freshman! Miegians Seen and Heard at STC Mary Ann Thesing and Pat Murphy, seniors, and Kathy Rode, junior, attended the Future Teach- ers branch of the State Teachers’ Convention on Friday, November 6, at Shawnee Mission East High. The girls took advantage of this occasion to get a realistic look at teaching, its many opportunities, challenging problems, and services to humanity. Guest speakers from Manhattan and Emporia, Kansas, and from Kansas City, Missouri made fav- orable appraisals of the organiza- tion’s work and provoked many new avenues of thought on suc- cessful teaching. Barbara Bremser took an active part in the division on Red Cross activities at the convention. In acting as a panel member, Barb told of her work at the University of Kansas Medical Center this summer.

Only 31 more shopping days until Christmas! Have you started thinking about what to give your family and friends? Each gift must be just right. Nothing is too good for those we love. But are we forgetting the most important gift to the One we love most? Christmas is the commem- oration of the Birth of Christ, the commemoration of the moment when our Redemption began. At that moment God gave His only Divine Son to the world to live and die so that we might gain heaven. What manner of gift can we give to this God-man who laid down His life for us? It must be some- thing special and will take some time to prepare. The Church has set aside Advent as a time of prep- aration for Christmas. During this time we should be forming the gift of our sanctified soul for Christ through prayer, the sacra- ments, and sacrifices. This is no easy task we have set for ourselves. The sacrifices we must make are much more than just giving up candy or movies. We must sacrifice our selfish will- fulness by doing God’s will for us. The most wonderful part of this gift is the benefits we reap from it. It is really we who are the re- cipients and Christ the Giver.

by Regina Davis LOST BRIDE Where is my lovely Misa-san now? My soul is heavy, and furrowed my brow As I search and search through rubble and heap Somewhere she is buried, buried so deep. . . . I remember well her almond black eyes, And as I remember, 1 seem to die To drown in their endless depths again. My heart, it seems to rend, to rend. . . . 1 have walked a foot, and then a mile But never again will I sec that smile Nor hear that voice again in song Only memories linger on and on. . . . Nor see the blossoms in her hair Nor the yellow kimono she used to wear Nor gaze upon her fragile face Nor behold her beauty and matchless grace. I pray to God that heaven be Her garden of rest for eternity Perhaps I am glad she never will see This ruin that was once called . . . Nagasaki. Janet Schmitz (senior) SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW, SOMETIME SOMEWHERE- There must have been someone, Someone strong. Someone who knew right from wrong. SOMEHOW— There must be a person A person who does not hesitate to command A person who knows what to demand. SOMETIME— There will be a man A man all will respect, A man who will not cease to be a man. A man not of strength, but Of will . . . GOD’S WILL! Jim North (senior) THE FOUR SEASONS She is spring: Fresh as a spring morning. Surprising as a brilliant crocus. She is summer: Sultry and warm Enveloping like the humidity After a thunderstorm. She is fall: Impish as the unpredictable swirling leaves; As beautiful as the multi-colored trees, Glowing in the sun. She is winter: Cold and unfeeling; Freezing and deceiving When the sun in her smile Fades, then vanishes altogether. Pat Vcnneman (senior) A DREAM OF DAWN A gentle blush of crimson joy Enchants a girl; subdues a boy. The magic charms of early light Bewitch the eye; a soul delight. A pure and simple wisp of breeze Lulls stars to sleep but stirs the trees. The rainbow paths of sun-kissed morn Protect the young; and shield the worn. The precious gem—the autumn dawn Sows hope in sinners; when trust is gone. Susan Roche (Freshman) 24
