It was well that son lohn arose early because, as Hester has learned, woe betides those who slumber too lengthily. A. M. classes furnish insufhcient food ,.

So industrious was everyone in the lab one day that Messer Holst became two- facecl about the whole matter. Parting seems not so sorrowful: it hap- pens every clay in the life of a junior. D

LETTERS A Doubring Thomas Sits: Time brags that seven out of ten of its readers will be high school students. After reading the screwy letters sent in, l am won- dering whether it is worth while to finish my high school education. Marian Rhode. 'lt is generally conceded worthwhile to complete ones high school learning. lf not. one would not be able to wear a cap and gown.-Ed. Volume Control Sits: I feel that most high school pupils do not appreciate libraries. You would be surprised at the small number of students who make use of the public library. Even when they do decide they'd better do a bit of research, its odd how some volumes of certain encyclo- pedias suddenly disappear. Dont the stu- dents appreciate Mr, Ray Pedersens little l?l outside reading assignments? And dont forget - the public library isn't a bad substitute for a date bureau, you shy young things. Almost anyone can get out of the house to go study. Yours for better paging. Harriette McHugh. The Complaini' Angler Sits: Whats the matter with this school? ls everyone English, or just plain dumb? Every time anyone makes a pun, everybody. fac- ulty included. either just sit, or else groan. How do they expect a guys natural talent to develop if he has no encouragement? l think its time for a little tolerance. Yours for freedom of speech, Bill Bakewell. 'We have no statistics on the nationali- ty census although there may be a few Eng- lish to whom you refer. As for the action of faculty and everybodyfthe pun may be worth a groan.-Ed. 24 S+re+ching I+ Sits: Something must be done about the gum chewing which goes on in this institution. Addicts chew at such a rapid rate that its considerably disturbing to associates: whereas, others clap jaws so slowly that they're not in harmony with the schools in- ner workings. By the way, can Duane Phelps decrease his capacity from 5 to 1 stick at a time? It should be each students duty to moderate his gum-chewing ten- dencies. Pulling for reform, Margaret Wahl. 'Gum on, students-wad are we here for?-Ed. AHen+ion, Please! Sirs: There isn't enough attention given to promising young tenors at C. E. H. S. Dissipatingly yours, Bob Corbin. 'Try singing in the bathtub.-Ed. A New Arrival Sirs: l have just finished writing a book on You, Too, Can Be a Mascot, in Ten Easy Lessons. I would appreciate your announc- ing this masterpiece, as there must be other girls who have wanted to carry on this activity. The book can be bought at any good Fourth Street book stand. Berry Bancroft. Trade Talk Sirs: Students in high school are not enough interested in national alfairs. What they need is more A'Time. i Kenneth Thompson.

JUNICR AFFAIRS PRIVATE LIVES Because of a strikingly different per- formance given at the winter Iunior Auxili- ary dance, CFS Fourth Street Gang has been the center of much admiration, adula- tion, and exasperation. Unbiased observers predict they will travel far in respective careers. lust how far, no one seems willing to disclose, i' 'R 1 Laurels for the most unusual occupation of the year go to Raul Hughes, all-Ameri- canDemocrat and milkman. Proud posses- sor of a thriving dairy, Trucker Hughes rises with the chickens to supply daily milk to Cedar Falls and vicinity. F7 3 Hpudgen Camarata, star history student and flash footballite of CFHS, recently voiced a complaint against irritating chairs and desks. Seats are not comfortable enough, says he, to allow sufficient relaxa- tion for those students who lack satisfactory nocturnal slumber, Complainer Camarata suggests that the least that might be done is to provide weary pupils with individual pillows. 'K 'I' i' Petite lane Connell is a firm advocate of the upswept hairdo. Personality plus char- acterizes each day's new and different head- dress. Cf late, the Connell curls have graced the top of the head, but bated-breath bulletineers decline to comment on how soon Nlodiste Connell will, woman-like, let down her locks. 26 ln court for misbehavior on a public highway was Law Violater Albert Morgan. The young man, shaded in delicate tones of pale gray and light green, promised faith- fully to drive sedately in the future if le- niency were granted. Friends of Nedra Jayne Thorsrud have seriously considered presenting the erudite but tardy junior with a bedside alarm clock. l-lowever, purchasers of the timekeeper have been in a quandary to select one which would reverberate loudly enough to arouse her from slumber. 'A' i 'K CFS class of 1940 appears to have a goodly portion of talented students. Among the latest discoveries is Robert Stewart whose work has been published weakly in the Red and Black Review, the highschool newsheet. Qff-Key Poetry is the title, off- key poetry the theme. 'A' 'I 'k Marching in the school band, swing style, Eleanor Tostlebe became so ambitious in enthusiastic endeavors to produce Krupa- like drumbeat that she decapitated the mal- let she wielded so vociferously. Tennist Martin Hoist has not only won renown with accurate shots across the net. but also in l938 with an entirely different type of shot. Martiii, a candid camera fan, was chosen assistant photographer for the 1939 Red and Black. Annual editors feel confident his results have been positive rather than negative, urge the public to watch for further developments. 1 W i Perhaps due to influence from his drum- ming in the school band, Elling Opsal did a rhumba not long ago with a local Mitze truck for accomplice. ln swinging out the Qpsal alley, CFS musician got off the beat, collided with an unsympathetic motorist.
