I also had to learn to be patient and not to hurry through a task of this sort too rapidly. I start my dress in my mind by first deciding what' kind'of dress I am going to make--school, street, sport, etc.,--and what kind of material I shall use. I always try to be careful when I choose my material to choose something suitable for the type of dress I am planning. Then I choose my pattern, one which I think would look well on me and which is also up with the season. When I have decided upon these things, the actual fun begins. I start by laying my pattern on the material. I am always sure to lay every piece accurately and pin it securely on the material before beginning to cut. This is done so I will be sure I have enough material and that ' I have laid every piece correctly. When I am sure of this, I begin cutting. I cut slowly and try not to forget any of the marks and notches as these are very important in assembling the pieces later. After I have the material all cut, I begin assembling the pieces by basting them. This is important because, if you have never used the pattern before, there may be some difficult part which needs a little thought and adjusting. Also it needs to be fitted to you and if necessary adjustments made before sewing the garment. If I am sure the garment fits me in every detail and that no changes have to be made, I then seam the pieces up, making sure that they'are seamed ' securely so they will not pull out. Last, but not least, comes the finishing. I always enjoy this part very greatly because I new realize that the dress is practically finished I always take care to see that the collar, cuffs and the hem are finished properly and neatly and that the dress is carefully pressed. Now, I can wear it. Oh! how proud I am that I am wearing today a dress that I made myself, and to think that with the money I saved by making it, I bought my silk stockings. --Mildred Smith, '38 -L:n:.'n'a.m ----.-.... .

Ruth and I went in the M back of a one-seats car without a rumble seat. -J Although we were going fast, it seemed twice as fast as riding in the front seat. We thought it would be cold but it was nice and warm. When we reached the Ashland gymnasium we began to get scared because we did not know what door to go in. But we finally got inside and a man told us where there were some seats. The gymnasium was so big lit had two floors! and so crowded that I walked right past my brother and d1dn't see him. It was very hard to watch the game because there were so many whistles blowing and so much scrambling on the floor. we sat right in back of one of the baskets and every two minutes one of the players would land in our laps or the basket ball would hit us. Once I was looking over in the opposite court when the basket ball bounced off my head. It scared me and when I saw the people laughing, it made my face turn red. By the time that Gold Hill started to play I was just about ready to go to sleep. But I surely was wide awake after the game started because it was so exciting. At the end of the first half we were about two baskets ahead and eager to add to our lead. During the second half, Riverton kept only one basket behind. There were quite a few fouls called on Riverton at the very last of the game. I held my breath as Gold Hill took their free shots. If they hadn't made those baskets we would have lost the game. The game ended with a score of 19 to 20 in Gold Hi1l's favor. I was so happy and so sleepy coming home that I didn't even feel the bumps in the car! . c --Jill Martin '40 -1.-11-.--5-p--1-mann-nan.-.-.-annum-11 --..... rt Ln-U.1'1:v-nun-scrub.-1-1-11111.---1-.uoaneqt-can-:sauna 1 w 4 W w N W Q 4 M w e e e e s e e s e e e e e 4 e s s e C1-9. il-

Not long ago as I was strolling along through the park, I became quite tired and seated myself on a park bench. Everything looked peabeful and I began thinking hcw thankful I was for all that I had. Suddenly a tiny squirrel dashed across the green lawn and stopped inquir- ingly before me. I very slowly started to arise and ap- proach him but I found it difficult to depart from the bench. It clung to me like e long lost sister. I tore what was labeled a non-clinging dress so I couldn't quite understand just what had happened. I looked all around me to see that no one was looking and with awkwardness, craned my neck around to see what was detaining me. Oh, to my utter amazement a bright green paint left the im- prints of the bench on my dress. Gracious, I cou1dn't possibly go home until dark. While trying to decide where to sit I heard a gentle cooing of a dove. This one little dove was saying,'Who's 'ittle bittsy baby is 'oo?N The reply was,NHoney, 'oo know I'm you're itty bittsy baby do1l.W Good heavens! I cou1dn't stand that much longer. I then sew the girl's face and kept staring in astonishment. Her lips were scarlet red, her face was a pale white and two big bright dots were on her cheeks. Two heavily paint cd eyelashes peeked bashfully out over her large eyes. I don't blame her lover for kissing her on the ear instead of her lips. If human beings could run around loose with paint an inch think on their faces, there was no reason why I couldn't go home with e green striped dress. .
