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)

■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)

LOLA had never seen a man in tails, but as we were driving back to 0 Street, a man and a woman came out of a house and the man had on tails. Thrillllll By the time we had brought Lola back down to earth again, it was time for the show. We parked and walkea to the Varsity to see Getting Gertie's Garter. AFTER seeing the show, which was quite good, we started home. About ten miles out of Lincoln we de- cided to call Mrs. Watkins with the hope of getting her out of bed. So in Milford v e stopped at Newton's Cafe. James put his shoes on and we went in to have something to eat. While we were there James called Mrs. Watkins, but she had just arrived home and haun't been to bed yet. Doggone I As v e v ere leaving, James ran to Lthe car and lost both of his shoes, which he had forgotten to tie. WE then started again. We arrived in Fair- mont a few minutes after midnight, all very tired, but happy. Everyone went home to a nice, 3oft bed to dream of a good old Senior Day 11 TWO other cars in which wore Jack Jacobsen, George Thompson, Leone Baker, Joan tills, onnic Novak, and Della Keil, left from the school house about 7:00, after doing a bit of ruirinaglngthrough the Juniors desks, and misplacing a few articles. WE arrived in Lincoln v ithin an hour and found the others in the usual camping grounds, the five and ten store. THE four girls in these cars immediately set out to fixio a hotel room. Who said there is a housing shortage, or is it just the girls' winsome ways? THE morning was spent in shopping and locatirg places of interest which we might decide to visit later in the day.
