Conscience: The still small voice that makes you feel still smaller. The third year we changed leadership with Mr. Belken at the wheel, Mrs. Miller co-pilot, and Miss Knutson as the stewardess. Y.’e also picked up three new passengers, D-ris Belken, John Lifka and Gerald Schotanus. Doris Belken also abandoned the ship and bearded that of another name the next year. On our last span, we again changed leadership, with Miss Christenson the pilot, Mrs. Miller the co-pilot while Mrs. Casey served us the first lap and Mr. Tannatt the last. Y e succeeded our journey with twelve tired crew members. As they step off the gangplank of the Education we find them as follows: At the head of the line is Donald Dalluge, namely Fritz He is rather short built but has maintained the title of man- ager on the boys and girls basketball team and also of the baseball team.

 ' . i: .V: ■ mtm John Lifka comes next, better known as nBudn or just plain John. A one tirr baseball catcher, and good supporter of the team. He goes out mostly for girls. To record our trip we have Marilyn Schultz, Mary for short. She is an admirer of music and plays forward on the basketball team. She is well known for fast talking and for the twitching of her left eyebrow for some pecular reason. Next we have Lois May, a rather quiet type of girl, who has red hair and a temper to go with it, but she always comes out smiling. She is a sub on the basketball team and likes kittenball too. Her nickname is Red . Arlene Krueger, known as Matie to all, now steps off. She is interested in music and plays the piano. She is guard on the basketball team and likes kittenball among other things. Russel Schultz, the husky farm boy, is better known as Russ . He plays short and second in baseball although he doesn’t go out for basketball. He is rather quiet and friendly, but get him started and look out. He says he doesn’t get around much anymore. A deep base voice steps out next. It is Roger Hackbart, the tall 6’ lad from the country. Ticky is a familiar nick- name he responds to. He is star center on the basketball team and plays first base on the baseball team. Very talkative. Last we have Gerald Schotanus, another tall young fellow who is a star history student. He doesn’t care much to part- icipate in sports but really supports the team. His nickname is Jerry . The great Elmer Hicks who boarded a taxicab at Grand Central Station was so obviously a hayseed that the unscrupulous driver saw a chance for a bonanza. The Biltmore Hotel, said the fare. The Biltmore is only a half block away, but the driver took a circuitous route. At the end of the ride the meter read $14.35. The hayseed’s face flushed with anger. You can’t play me for a sucker! he yelled angrily. I been driven to this hotel once before from Grand Central and the last time the fare was only $12.60. A successful city businessman, (Donald Dalluge) took up farming as a side line. After two years a friend asked him how things were going. Well, I made $10,000 on the farm last year, the businessman said. $10,000? repeated the friend incredulously. Yes, sir, said the businessman firmly. I lost onlv $22,000. The first year I lost $32,000. roof Poise: The art of raising the eyebrows instead of the ★ X
