ETTY ATTENDED the course in Fresh1 man lectures and mastered the itblue rulesii-in at ten, light out at eleven- thirty, windows closed when heat is on, dates are to be had only on week-ends, two girls to a room-as Dean Minrow ex- plained the Opportunities for social life on the campus, and Dean D. L. MacFar- lane, dean of men, discussed the ever- popular iimenfi Football season was on and J 0e had to wear his little green iiK cap. The day the freshmen attempted to walk up the main walk the K club had dumped Joe into the fishpond, and he had gone into Miss Mary Harrisonis introductory Span- ish class dripping wet, leaving footprints in the halls of the Administration Build- ing. On their first Homecoming, Joe asked Betty t0 the Homecoming Ball. They discovered the terrace 0n the Stu- dent Union and danced gayly t0 the music of Lee Johnsonts band, and for a few hours forgot impending nine-weekis tests. WEEKS FOLLOWED and leaves fell, along with hOpes for iiAii averages. Both Betty and Joe were in the tenth decile when the results of the Freshman En- trance Tests were compiled by Dr. Henry Schrammel, head of the Educational Measurements Department. They man- aged to keep their grades up by refrain- ing from cutting Miss Vida L. Askewis classes and not saying the donitii in the astute presence of Dr. E. R. Barrett, head of the English Department and co-author of the Barrett-Ryan test, known and loved throughout this section of the country. Second semester brought bas- ketball and track to the fore. J 0e, a let- terman in basketball, wrote short notes to Betty when he was out of town for games -letters that reached her after his re- turn to the campus. Coach Paul Kutnink didnit object, as long as his side line ac- tivities didnit interfere with his court ac- tions.

Philips and it took Joe many long hours to show her 5-4ths of a whole. The hours spent in Philipsi classes resulted in frequent colds because he had to have fresh air. But Joe dwarfed her miniature problems when he eXplained that Tucker could add 2 and 3 and get 7eand that it was mathe- matically correct. Enrolling in fencing under Dr. Harold M. Priest, Betty learned to lunge and tire- pose, to counter-attack and to parry. She tried out for Splash Club, and under the direction of Miss Dorothy Boynton, learned formation swimming and sports- manship in water sports. OE HAD PLAYED a horn in the high school band and at the beginning of his second year he enrolled in the Emporia State Band, under Orien Dalley, enthusiastic

conductor of both college band and orches- tra. Hours of practice in Music Hall and exercises in formation drills 0n the foot- ball team increased Joeis amazement of his own music and appreciation of the other. The twilight band concerts were initiated at Dr. Orville J . Borchers, sug- gestion while Joe was a member of the band. Loafing in the Hornets nest, talking to Norman H. Eppink after enrollment was completed for first semester his s0ph0- more year, J 0e met Betty, and discovered that she had changed her course to com- plete a B. S. in Education in 1943 with a speech major. Now, she commented, she had her groups to fill and would have to take a modern language and some sociol- ogy. J 0e suggested that she take German because he had heard that it was a snap under Aiken, and anyway, sheid probably enjoy his lectures on Texas folk-lore. But Betty knew that Charles Boyer was French, and since French was the lan- guage of romance she enrolled in ele- mentary French from Dr. Minnie Miller. Her French report in the Modern Lan- guage Office later on in the semester gave her many sleepless nights and she wished she had taken biological science from Frank U. Agrelius and C. F. Gladfelter to fill a science group rather than a language group. .................................... .............. tLefti W. B.
