ALUMNI PROGRAM Good fellowship and fun marked the annual Alumni reception held Frida evening, October 10th, in the gymnasium of Nikander Hall. A varied pro rail was presented and enjoyable refreshments were served by alumni Cgnunitegg working. under Mr. Arne Luttinen, President of the Suomi College Alumni Association. The program included community singing under the direction of Phil Lut- tio, aCC01'diO11 SGIGCHOHS by Angela Moretto, and an interlude of Dialect Dialogue featuring Mort Plowe. The Rev. Carl Tamminen, President of Suomi College, spoke briefly of the work which the Alumni organization has done, its purposes, and its plans for the future. He emphasized especially the need for a close spirit of coopera- tion between alumni and students, and the work which lies ahead for the Suomi graduate. i Mr. Wailio Lehto, head- of the Commercial Department of Suomi College, reminisced over his days at Suomi, and recalled much of student life in the 25 years of his stay at the college. The purpose of the gathering was the reception of Suomi students by the Alumni organization. Both students and graduates agreed that the meeting was a memorable one. g 1 coLoR ToUR At ten o'clock Saturday morning, October ll, sixty to seventy eager Suomi- ans piled into eleven automobiles, and began a tour of the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was a day for the camera man, with a clear sky andqbright sunshine. Of those people who have never been treated to such glorious sights as abound throughout the Peninsula, many agreed that even in their own states such scenic beauty could not be found. The party took in the Cliff Drive with its towering mounds of rock, and gazed upon the first cop-per mine in the district, set up by Hays during the period when America was moving westward. From there the tour mo-ved on to the shores of Lake Superior where the first settlers constructed their homes. Probably the most fascinating example of grandeur was the ascent to the Brockway Mountain Drive with a perfect view of Lake Superior, the smaller lakes inland, and the acres of virgin timber decorated by Autumn with its paint- ings of gold. R y . t From Brockway the party continued on to Fort VVilkins, one o-f the out- standing locations in the Peninsu1a's history. There a delicious lunch was served and gladly accepted by the students, who by this time had become famished. After Mr. Miller had collected his choice specimens of plant life, and after the students had examined the grounds of the historical Fort, the procession moved on again following the lower Sand Dune Drive. The first stop was the Devil's Wash Tub, a spectacular carving by nature which drew many oohs and awws from the group. They continued along the Sand DUHC.D1'1X'S with its huge bleak mounds of sand piled high on either side of the highway and along the beach. Finally Coach Luttinen called-the last stop at the General Store in liagle River and after refreshing bottles of soda pop, the party took their last giance at Lake Superior and concluded the tour. To be sure, it was an exhausted but happy group of individuals who finally found themselves back at Old Main, still jabbering excitedly about the marvels of nature they had witnessed that day.

H A I.. L O W7 E .15 N P A RT Y .-Xl. il o'clock l'.M. on October 31, all -students were unceremon.iousl.y pushed out of the New Building. A person having no idea that it was the preparation for the lflfafloween Party might well have been confounded by the activity of the twelve faithful members of the committee. Two or three of them were put- ting on second-hand decorations in the lounge, a couple more were fastening a guide rope, another was setting an obstacle, and still others were making a coffin and stuffing a dummy. j just before 7 P.M. there was the usual last minute rush and confusion. The entrance to the Ghost Trail was the side door of the stage. The guests were required to surrender their shoes before being admitted. A friendly mummy received the victims and directed them through the darkened stage where one goblin played spooky organ music while another presented an intermittent 5'screech solo accompanied by 110111-tOH1S. The steps and floors were strewn with cereal and flystickers to give that crunchy sticky feeling, and a false step bedecked with mats was set up to test the sense of equilibrium. Blankets were hung 'at intervals across the corridor which led to the dungeon. There a lonely hermit brooded over his fate with a dummy-friend who had hanged himself. Finally the guests were directed to the third floor where the last ghost considerately wiped the perspiration off their brows. The group then went down to the gym to find their shoes scattered all over the floor. This was followed by games and a scavenger hunt. Some of the easy-to-get items on the lists included a lock of curly hair, a teaspoon full of water, and an ice cream cone full of gum-wads. , , The party was topped off with a delicious lunch served in the lounge. On Saturday morning the brave members of the committee cleaned up the mess. . CHRISTMAS PARTY The traditional Christmas Party was held in the gym of Nikander Hall on the evening of December 17. A beautifully decorated Christmas Tree stood before the stage and mistletoe was hanging in convenient p-laces. The program arranged by the Student Council consisted of the exchange of gifts and playing of intellectual games. The guests separated into groups and couples to enjoy a tasty lunch prepared by the Calumet girls. r INKLINCS-ANULOGUE BANQUET A The combined staffs of the Inklings and the Anulogue enjoyed a banquet at Gino's Restaurant on the evening of May 7. They had the choice of steak, Italian style chicken or fried lake trout with all the trimmings. Though the banquet included the formality of place cards and programs, an informal at- mosphere prevailed. Mr. Hill, the Director of Music, as the Master of Ceremo- nies, put everyone into a good mood. The program consisted of two songs ren- dered by Grace Hampton and accordion selections by Angela Moretto. The antics of Bambi', Hoffman, master of the Finnish, Swedish and Italian accents, had everyone doubling up in laughter. The managing editors of the Inklings and Anulogue, Vernon Cole and Carl Tamminen respectively, reviewed the activities of the two organizations. The Rev. Carl Tamminen, President o-f Suomi College, commended the two organizations for their efforts in the expan- sion program. The main speaker of the evening was the Rev. Cardwell Prout, faculty advisor of the Inklings, who humorously pointed out the perils and head- aches of journalism. The banquet was concluded with group singing ending with Hail, Suomi, Hail, our Alma Mater song. This group of aspiring jour- nalists agreed that it was a fine culmination to a year's, literary activity. Page seventy-four' A
