THE TELESCCDPE . . . Imbedded in our memories are other pictures. A class with Miss Weeber was not complete if she did not spend part of the time explaining the intricacies of logs from her favorite seat, the top of a desk. Nor is another event to be forgotten. Up to ourjunior year Mr. Pratt had been content with splitting chromosomes, but the war emergency stirred him into action-he ploughed up part of the campus and planted a victory garden. In the last part of our senior year, there were some additions to the faculty: Miss Sober's place as registrar was taken by Dr. Wilson who- will try anything once, some things twice : Mr. Wilhoit took over the music department. Although he has kept up the orchestra and the chorus, he will never be able to take the place of Miss Cushman with her flow- ered hats. Mr. Perry has come back and reorganized the faculty bowling team which has been making below par scores because of Dr. Richard's lack of conservatism in choosing shirts. Before bowling, Dr. Coddington sought elsewhere for exercise. Those who saw it will never forget the day he tried to contort to fit the wastepaper basket-some still claim he was tripped. None of us have forgotten those Christmas holidays after which Dr. Garrison and the former Miss Malmborg came back with stars in their eyes and rice in their hair. Dr. Gunn has left us with an indelible impression: she always dashed into class ten minutes late, wearing the hat which remained on all through the class with a silly feather flapping in the breeze. Also to be remembered is that Dr. Wampler's dog has been in the college almost as long as we have. He should get his degree soon after we get ours. fq Whether or not the faculty knows it, we 1 have been watching them for four years. l Little has escaped our glance or passed ' s XJ.. our ears. With the observed, we leave rg if this, thought from Robert Burns and Eng- , Q V lish Literature ll:2 QQ. O wad some Power the giftie gie us f' To see oursils as ithers see us. Y see.

LCDCDKING Tl-IRGUGI-I Vivid memories of the years at TCC remain . our minds, some good, some bad, some indifferent. Among the most prominent are those of the faculty. Like most freshmen we entered the halls of old Alma Mater with shy, retiring steps, little knowing what was in store, but fearing the worst. After registration, we wandered blindly trying to find the room where our first class was to be held. There was a sympathetic look on the faces of fellow sufferers who had found the class before half of the period was over, but the look on the face of the professor was one of resignation, per- haps this thought was running through his mind, man works from sun to sun, but a professor's work is never done. 1 For the first year, I hate freshmen, and Oh, you poor benighted creatures rang in our ears and haunted us, but by our sophomore year when the stale freshman air of our class had escaped into the court, we found that the faculty was beginning to appear human. Not that we hadn't begun to see evidences of the human qualities of the profs before our sophomore year! Some of us swooned when We saw Mr. Perry Che's back now underclassmenl, and Dr. Rackley's crew cut and piercing blue eyes--if we could only whistle on paper Csighll It was through a faculty member that we first found the college den of iniquity, the lounge. Some of us shadowed Dr. Iohnson into a smoke- filled room. There, while we became accustomed to the atmosphere, he played setback. Card playing was not the only sport in which the faculty indulged, we all remember our first .glimpse of Miss Morton-she was carrying golf clubs. A big feature in the TCC sport world was Coach Flash Gordon Kaiser. We remember how he took the men out on the field, showed them a ball, this here's a ball fellows, and this here's a field, the object ' of the game is . . Fellows-remember, 565 'G our first years here, there were men. But Q A E to get backto the facu1ty.That same sport H A p field was the scene of a very exciting :Wa event in our junior year. The senior ele- qg mentary class was playing a friendly dj game of Fox and Geese when Miss Col- N ton, a former member of the physical education department, and one of the X students suffered minor brain concus- sions. Both recovered. 1 For the Latin, see Dr. Fowler.
