Yearlings lost a lot of clothes, a bit of hair, but so did the sophomores Freshmen won. « V Ik A k Carrying on the traditional feud, Sophomores and upper classmen thor- oughly initiated the new freshmen... Sophomores absconded with the 1st year president spending a night on windy and cold Bird Island in Utah Lake, and a second night in a cold cab- in in Provo Canyon . . .

Because of material shortage frosh did not wear the usual blue and white caps as has been the custom. However, singing, re- citing yells, carrying books, shining shoes, and paying fines to Judge Reed Nilson in Senior court were pressed in the usual ribald manner.

ZJ ] bXXKV3stx u CC (J2LU With service the new byword, Young University students set aside parades and speeches, and celebrat- ed Founders Day by helping with harvesting and working in the busi- ness organizations around Provo. When the labor shortage became acute it was voted that the day be given to helping where work was needed. The office of the Dean of Men and the state employment agency in town cooperated to reg- ister students and assign them to work for which they were best fitted. Transportation was furnished to the farms, and all equipment provided. The weather was perfect for out- door work, and enthusiasm was gen- uine with the young army of workers that responded to the requests for help. In addition to fruit, a gener- ous crop of stiff necks, banged knees, lame backs, blistered hands was reported. p W P5 f ' s- 1 yz ■ ■■. ■ r. WE- - - . x- v fc ■ ft fv UMm
