UAQATHCHIFIH Social lu activity we find our joy as well as glory. Hi-Y-Girl Reserve Banquet Blue slips! lists! tardy bells! and mad rushing hither and thither! This was the scene preceeding the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve banquet. Meat loaves grew seareer and scarcer, yet on the gala night food popped up seemingly from nowhere. The girls were solicited for the main course and the boys pooled their money for the desert. After consuming this, the guests shoved back their chairs to watch Wild Nell eavort across the stage for the Girl Reserve stunt. Next the Hi-Y's portrayed a typical Chicago shooting which ended, My word! l'm in the wrong apartment ! Then the banquet was adjourned to the tune of rattling silverware. Homecoming Look at all the automobiles decorated with bright-colored crepe paper! And why are those boys dressed so funny? Oh, it's homecoming! Just see the parade-the band, Girl Reserves, Hi-Y's, Sunshiners, Aggies, classes, and lots more. Don 't they look pretty? Why they 're coming right up through town! lJet's follow them to the field and watch Wiley get beat. Jack Alexander certainly made one good job of this affair, didn't he? Ink Drops In the last few years this little literary magazine, printed through the courtesy of Mr. Biddle 's printing classes, has become quite well-known and is very much enjoyed by the students. The poems, essays, short stories, and book reviews contained in it are all original, being written by the members of Miss l'!allard's Creative Writing class. It is published in the spring and each member of the class makes at least one contribution. The 1933 issue, the fourth to be published, is larger than any preceeding number. Dr. VV. Wilbur Hatfield, Editor of the English Journal wrote an interesting article especially for this publication. Junior Class Party What 's all the noise? It 's the Junior Class party! This gala event was held November 11, and certainly portrayed the depres- sion, for it was a hard times party-the only kind they could have in these days. First. they played games-you know the good old ones such Drop the Haiidkerchiefn and Three Deep ! These were played mainly because they wanted to say good-by to their childhood days. Next year they must be dignified seniors. The music for the evening was provided by a Junior Class orchestra and other musical number were given by Margaret Everson, Betty Johnson and a splendid quartet including James Houlihan, Harry Streibich, Bruce Byrd, and John Moritz. Betty Johnson and Catherine Davis impersonated some of our favorite radio stars. VVere they ever good! Of course the party closed with a bang, for you see they ended with refreshments ! - Page Sixty four

UAL ATI-ICHHIAH Sunshine Work at Christmas Hustle, bustle, blue slips and the patter of many feet. The Sunshiners are getting ready to play dear old Santa Claus once more. Bags were given to all the members of the society and they filled them with toys and decorated them beautifully. The society added red stockings filled with candy to the bags-for what is Christmas without candy? Cheer Boxes were made up for the good friends we all have-the shut-ins and elderly people. The candy for these was generously provided by the Sun- shine members. Most of this work was under the supervision of Miss Blair, Miss Arthur and Miss Wilkinson. On the morning before Christmas Eve, the Hi-Y boys, acting as chauffeurs, and the girls delivered the bags, North, South, East and West. Then quiet and peace reigned in the high school-Christmas vacation had started and everyone went home with the exhilaration which always comes with doing good. Golcl and Blue USD Our Gold and Blue, which in more prosperous years made its appearance weekly, has this year, under the stress of Ole Man Depression, been seen only four times.

.......-.... JAQATMCHIAH - A Nothing before or since has equalled the frigidity of that stare. The country for miles around lay thick with frost. The monkeys froze and fell from the trees, near Little Black Sambo a frozen bird sat on the frozen branch of a frozen tree and breezingly sang a frozen song. Little Black Sambo climbed haughtily down from his lofty perch, picked up the unconscious lion, threw it over his shoulders, to take his mother so she could make a new rug, and started home. As he crossed the hill he saw smoke rising from his Uncle Tom's cabin and he knew his Aunt Jemima was frying pancakes for supper. , JOHN SLATTERY, '36, To A Naughty Crocus Dainty little crocus Poking through the snow, Don't you think it's all too soon Your pretty head to show? Indeed your fairy lavender Upon the snowy lawn Is thrilling as a sunset Or early tints of dawn. But March is big, and March is cruel, And cold his wild wind blows, And there my tiny crocus In proud assurance grows. Are you so vain and anxious To show your lovely hue That you can't wait and mingle As the other flowers do? And so you beat the very spring, Dring frost instead of dew, 'Though you're a, foolish little thing I'll stoop to cover you. --ALBERTA BECHTEL. I 'age Sixty-three Q
