G. A, Buzzard petri'fies his geography students by pointing an outstretched finger at them and de- manding an answer. 16 der Dr. C. E. Arnett. A sportsman and a hunter, his practical democracy and his imitation of a drooling idiot interested Betty in the sociological field, and she de- cided to do more work in the same vein next semester. Joe enrolled in industrial arts. His first eXperiences in the shOp were not as treacherous as he had suspected they would be. Other than learning to con- centrate in the noise that saturated the basement of the Administration Building he learned to use a saw properly and to Operate an electric power saw. But most important of all he met Clark L. Jackson, who is the kind of a fellow who believes iia woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke? Betty, feeling that home economics might come in handy someday, enrolled in a clothing course from Miss Ruth Simpson and learned how to turn a neat seam and put collars on dresses correctly. From Miss Helen Clark she learned more than how to boil water without scorching it. Through her work in the Home Eco- nomics Department Betty became ac- quainted with the principles involved in making a success of later life in regard to the home and the family. CHEMISTRY was Greek to J oe who ex- plored it under the careful guidance of Dr. Blackman, who kept him and other unknowing freshmen from confusing H20 with H2804. It was in the chemis- try department that J oe learned to disre- gard unusual sounds and repugnant odors and to continue his eXperiments to be re- garded in his chemistry notebook tto be sold at. a later date to some less indus- trious pupiD. Betty and Joe found their interests mergedejust this once?ein the music field. Betty took a few voice lessons from Robert Taylor but decided that member- ship in the Symphonic Chorus under the direction of Dr. Orville J. Borchers was Dr. L. E.

the art gallery he found Betty admiring the paintings done by the art professors of the school. Norman R. Eppinkis func- tional art looked well on paper, they de- cided, but H. Francis J amesi nature paint- ings were noteworthy. iiI like Cullerfi Betty said, iibecause, the mural in the Hornets Nest is so true to life, and he sponsored it, you know? As they walked out of the Art Gallery they heard someone in the auditorium and slipped into the balcony to see who was playing the organ. A. D. Schmutz was playing several of his own compositions and arrangements. Betty and J oe listened silently for a time and then quietly slipped out into the rotunda. Betty had to go in and see Miss Ethel Melendy about working in the Bursaris office next se- mester and Joe hurried down to W. D. Rossis office to check on his credits as the registrar had them recorded. . ECEMBER CAME and with it Pearl Har- bor. But college life continued-not as usual. Second semester found a severe drop in enrollment and Betty was without a job on the campus. She applied for a job down town and was given a position as cashier at the Granada theater. Betty arranged her courses so that she would have her afternoons free. She en- rolled in advanced general sociology un- 15

J 0e joined the chorus, too, and together they sang in the spring presentation of the ttElijahii when Richard Bonelli was guest baritone, and Dr. Borchers forgot to call roll the night they both skipped practice. At the close of the junior year J 0e was elected to the Student Council by the United Students political party as Vice- president. Working on the Bulletin Joe became acquainted with George H. Phil- lips, publicity director of the campus and faculty advisor 0f the college publications. Heis like the girl with the curl tand he does have nice wavy hairi who ttwhen she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad, she was horrid? tIt is obvious that I am not enrolled in his New English classj itVicii Trusler has as much fun running his obstacle course as the boys in military training classes. And we have heard rumors that he can get around faster than the fellows. SENIOR YEAR came around and education courses became pre-requisites. Dr. H. G. Lull helped them to eXplain the present. crisis by telling of the lack of ingenuity in American youth. One day in class he side- slipped into a condemnation of classical languagesepage Miss Theresa Ryan! Betty took her practice teaching in Roosevelt High School under the direction of Dr. H. E. Dewey and under the super- vision. of Miss Kayser. Her curriculum course from Dr. Dale Zeller proved more interesting than Betty had hoped it could be and a personal friendship developed between the two, spiced by Dr. Zelleris in- teresting conversations about her numer- ous trips and a private showing of her un- usual old-fashioned jewelry collected through the years. Miss Edna McCullough has charge of every girl in school three hours a week for her first two years. She is head of the Woments Physical Education Department.
