■H IK MT - 20 - AT 2:00 we started from the Student Union on the University Campus on a tour through the University. Miss M. J. Way, a pretty sophomore, was our guide. She is connected with the Student Foundation. (We have her address, boysi Line form to the right I) M. J. took us through the Don Love Memorial Library. Very beautiful. We saw and heard the School of Music. Across the street is located the Administration Building. We paused in front of Navy Hall, where all the sailors on the campus live. This building used to be the library. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t allow us to go through it. We passed by the tree under which Dr. James Thomas is buried near Navy Hall. We observed University Hall, the oldest building on the campus. AFTER walking a short distance, we saw the stadium. Did you know that the football field is covered with canvas when it rains in order to protect the grass ana make a prettier field? Upon entering the Coliseum, we saw where four basketball games can be played at once. In the basement of this building is a 75-foct long swimming pool where M. J. had a class at 3:00. WE then crossed the street to enter Morrill Hall. In the basement and on the first floor are fos- sils of all kinds. Ughl We saw an armadillo and an anteater. Located here is the Hall of Elephants which is the biggest in the world. On tho second floor is ’’modern art, which would someone please explain to us? On the third floor are pictures drawn or painted by the students. M. J. then left us and we started to the Ag College. On the way we got in the way of a fire engine. Upon missing the road to the Ag College we entered Lincoln’s slum district, and found the fire-- someone's chicken house. (Fried chicken en masse on the hoof.) AT last we found the Ag College, and this time our guide was Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas showed us the Home Economics ouilding where we saw in session a (continued on next page)

In our1 car were «lame.’t Lawson, driving, Mary Prances Tous, Lola Mae 3oyes, Mary Lou Kuelle, Ida Mae Huelle, and Pos3 Grone. UPON arriving in Lincoln about 8:30 on Friday morning, March 22, 1946, James tried to use a parking meter; but he decided that pennies wouldn't work (in that one). WE had heard that Sheridan Boulevard was pretty so we decided to see for ourselves. We found it and it is pretty. James called Mrs. Watkins to find out aTJoulT our University appointment. We ate dinner in Brick's Cafe--OH!l those malts I'. II AFTER dinner we visited the Wyuka Cemetery, east on 0 Street. Then we drove through the 'Wesleyan Grounds. We drove p st Miss Kosford's home in Univer- sity Place, as we were driving slowly through a school zone, one little girl took a sudden liking to handsome Romeo James and said in a high, squeaky voice, I played marbles ana won one! And swoon-goon James an- swered in his most dignified way, Well, good for youl AS Ross wanted to see his sister, we drove to Bryan Memorial Hospital. Ruth showed us girls through the house where she lives. It was very interesting to see the girls' rooms. DRIVING back to town again we kept well to the outskirts, and soon we were on Sheridan Boulevard. We drove by Antelope Park and up and down Sheridan some more. We also drove down many streets on which were some very beautiful homes. James drove down the wrong side of a boulevard. More funi!!! (continued on next page)

21 class in food preparation. Wo saw the practice kitchen and the dining room. We saw the Farm Machinery Buxld- ing. All machinery is loaned to the College by the manufacturers and everything is of the most modern type. We then went across the hall to the woodworking laboratory. Here we saw various tools used in wood- working. From this room wc went to the iron and steel laboratory. Here we observed different machines con- nected with iron and steel work. We then w nt into a larger room which was the gasoline motors laboratory. When the boys finish this course, they are supposed to be able to take apart and put together some very com- plicated machine's. WE observed the Plant Industry Building, the College Activities Building, the Dairy Manufacture Building, and the Nursery building where young children are observed by normal trainers. AFTER this we went up to 0 Street, met George Thompson and Jack Jacobsen. Wo decided to eat supper. On the way to the car, wo all bought papers from a paper boy, and then gave the papers back to him. Be- fore we could eat, Mary Francos and James haa to find the Nebraska Typewriter Company, and Mary Lou, Lola, Ross, and Ida Mae had some shopping to do. AT 5 o'clock we went to the cme Chili Parlofr where we enjoyed a good lunch. At 6 o'clock we started on a drive. After much driving around, we finally ar- rived at the Rock Gardens on S. 27th and D otreets. This garden is pretty even in early spring. We then journeyed about two blocks to Ante- lope Park. Wo saw some pheasants, a duck, and a parrot in their cages. After riding about a block farther we came to a golden eagle, rabbits, an owl, a red fox, a grey fox, and a grey timber wolf. Oh, yes, for a while we didn't know whether we had a driver or not, as we couldn't decide between James and the wolf. After de- ciding, we drove to the Lincoln Zoology Building, but it was closed so we couldn't go in to see the animals. (continued on next page)
