Twelve signs a day might give an adequate index to the stars of H. J. C., but, for practical reasons our horoscope must be limited to the traditional dozen. The thoroughness of our pseudo-science may be made manifest if we allocate the signs to three kinds ol' times: viz. good, bad, and everyday. To read our horoscope, to follow the sequence ol' the pictures printed in this yearbook, begin, dear reader, in the up- per left hand corner, always, and observe the patterns from left to right., and then proceed with each row similarly from top to bottom. Abstruse, you say? So are the stars. An illusion, a dream, let us say, is the proper beginning for all notable en- deavor. The peace, the quiet, the tranquil- lity of the Nemaha River, flowing as gently as the sweet Afton among her green braes, shows a scene of such beauty as the students of H. J. C. rarely have time to contemplate. VVe all agree, however, about t.he good old summertime. Standing teams attract sentimental attention, and our second illusration of the brighter side of life shows two who won Santa's prizes at his all school party. Rubeti Hall is listed among the favorable aspects of our college year, for no house sheltering six- teen girls can fail to be the scene of mer- riment. Down one block east of the cam- pus is found that irresistible rendezvous where our beaux go bowling. Bad times? You know what we mean -when little men with dusty faces suc- cumb to little women with cleansing graces. Or when the camera catches the dainty maiden eating a mouthful that be- trays the size of her appetite. Or when a great and vaulting ambition reveals a slip. Or when, on an icy day, the editor un- gracefully salaams before the Mask and Curtain and the camera eye. Daily-for man cannot live by bread alone, it is popularly necessary to resort to cafes and soda fountains for sturdy meals. Daily-for it is hard for any man to overcome his urge to be the Tarzan of the world's greatest circus-our over- grown boys contrive weird gymnastic ex- ercises. Daily-for the sake of record and of records-our students resort to the sanctuary of the library. And finally-the dream again, the illusion from which all great things draw the vital power that feeds them-the picture of hard, honest, happy toil, the essence of the times. Five CAPTAIN, Anon LZ Lyj jf!! 41 I X Six f Lf cf if L,a,f X., Dean G. M. Rankin has ever taken a vital interest in the growth of the college and the activities ot' each of its students. His visions of a Highland Junior College whose graduates are prepared to assume positions of responsible citizenship in their communities and to earn honorable livings. have been realized. His distinctive ver- satility is seen in many ways. A keen sense of humor-shown by a ready wit, a chuckle, a twinkling eye-is appreciated by all the stu- dents. A stern manner is seen on occasions when in the capacity of a g-man tbut a. kindly onei he maintains order in the girls' and men's rooms. A Willingness to give advice is taken advantage of by grateful students. As the cap- tain of this ship, Dean Rankin has endeared himself to his crew and to the passengers on four succes- sive voyages. Mr. Rankin was graduated with a B. S. degree from the Kan- sas State Teachers College of Em- poria and received his M. S. degree from the University ot' Kansas. He has capably served in his present capacity ot' dean, registrar, and educator since the fall of 1935, and has safely guided the college through many a storm. Dean Ran- kin has shown great interest. in making this junior college fully accredited by the State Board of Education and by the University of Kansas. He has used his influ- ence to establish the college on a sound t'ina.ncial basis to assure the permanency of the institution. He has faithfully and unselfishly given his time and influence to bring to the students a better un- derstanding of true education and Worth-while living. Af I1 ll tm- I lj jaifw TI-IE CREW Mis.

Meeting regularly each month, the Council took care of all cases and problems presented to them. Assisting the administration, recommending and spon- soring college social activities have been other impor- tant functions of the Council. The Council was responsible for the institution of HSa.die Hawkins' Dayf' Everyone will remember the track records shattered on that famous occasion- thc girls really had to hustle to catch their man, But the boys didn't regret the dinners they were given. Bill Chiicote was unanimously chosen president by the student body early in the fall. His persistence has earned for him the praise of the students. The class representatives were Anna Mae Kern and Don Rankin, sophomoresg Gertrude Godfrey and Dave Batchelder, freshmen. Mr. NVarren acted as faculty sponsor. The Student Council expresses its thanks to the faculty, to the students, and to the commnuity of High- land for their splendid cooperation in making this a most successful year. C .

Apart from the extra-cur- ricular field, we study a carefully plan- ned group of foundation courses. The new remedial reading program is one of these. In a course in geography, Mr. Van Scoyoc tries to teach us how to explain latitude, longitude, and cyclonic storms to our future ttcliargesf' Miss Neale tells us tilust Soi' stories and listens patiently to the fairy tales and nature stories that we relate to her in our childrenls literature class. A study of teaching methods is one of our most helpful courses. We study actual problems that we shall face, and learn what can be done about them. Dean, Rankin directs us in this study and adds bits of his interesting and invaluable ex- periences to the discussion. Daily we walk-no, run-the five blocks between the college and Highland Grade School to 'tobservel' in the various rooms, and to do actual teaching in a room set aside for that purpose. In these teach- ing classes, supervised by Dean Rankin, we student-teachers put into use the methods we have learned. At times during the term, each cadet teacher journeys forth alone to the near- by one-room schools. As a group we visit city schools of different types. Our journey to the Holton, Kansas, schools to observe t.he progressive system followed there was the highlight of the course. To see how a teacher conducts a room with an entirely integrated subject program is a lesson within itself. As we leave our training days behind, we pedagogues will turn from the acquir- ing of knowledge and skills to the present- ing of educational materials to the Pupils of a very near tomorrow, in order to help them to live more successfully and more abundantly. PART TWO S stands for several things-for Saturday, for Scholarsl1ip, for Seriousness, and for Success. The H. J. C. Saturday courses for teachers were an innovation of 1938-39. After holding classes of their own all week, thirty teachers from Brown, Nemaha, and Doniphan counties drove to Highland to spend double-length class periods studying whatever subjects they needed to validate their professional cer- tificates. Experienced, wise in all the tricks of the trade, this group had a zest and sense of humor which made the long mornings miraculously brief. Towards noon, of course, the pangs of hunger led them to look yearningly at the candy and apples they had brought to class and heaped generously-and for safe keeping-upon the teachers' desks. On quiz days the apples, tprobably Doniphan county applesj were always brightly polished. And Superintendent. Hada Nel- son's wore the brightest blush of all. The enthusiasm of these teachers is infectious, and a rapid increase in enroll- ment and curriculum is the general pre- diction for the idea of Saturday classes. Eleven Teachers Recess.

If we frowned, dragged ourselves list- lessly from class to class, or slumped in our seats, we would certainly have some improvements to make. VVe would soon acquire, with persistence, a swing to the step, a sparkle to the eye, and warmth to the smile. Mannerisms would speedily be dis- carded with other old habits, voices would be re-modulatedg fluttering, awkward gestures of hands would be replaced by graceful, soothing motions. All affeeta- lions would be abandoned for their ab- surdity. Little girls would brush their hair, and little boys might evien wash rtheir faces. What an unnatural world ours would be if all this could be brought about, but the latter is doubtful. MORAL: If you Want to keep on being fperfectlyl happy, don't try to see yourself as others see you! PER ASPEIQA There was a day when- lt took all day to make a trip to and from 'town in the horse and buggy, the driver could go to sleep, and yet the horse would arrive home safely without guid- ance. VVomen wore rats in their hair, learned how to play the piano, sew, cook, and keep house. They were married and lived happily ever after. People went to church and Sunday school, were hospitable, and had ten and twenty guests to dinner each Sunday. The meals were huge and wholesome. People owned big farms and were prosperous twe are toldl, but were conservative and saved their money. The gentleman called at the door for his lady friend and assisted her to the buggy. In that day no one knew of swing, radio political addresses, the New Deal, or cod-liver oil capsules. Financial troubles, nervous breakdowns, alarm clocks, and for so we're toldj term papers in every class had not yet. come into existence. Folks went early to bed and early did rise, lived happily and simply, and always wished their neighbors A Merry Christ- mas and A Happy New Year. Then came to-day, when- Autos zip down the road approach- ing the corovzcf' at 60 m. p. li., and trains are being streamlined so t.hat they can beat the autos to the crossings. The boy friend impatiently honks a car horn in front of the house till t.he girl friend rush- es out. People go golfing or fishing on Sunday, and eat dinners out of cans and sacks. - Next-door neighbors are bare ac- quaintances, and may speak to each other if they aren'l rushing from a bridge party to a committee meeting. Home is a con- venient place to go bet.ween parties. Gon- versation is limited to the weather. People read 'tGone VVith the VVind, talk in puns, patronize beauty salons, and buy on the in- stallment plan. This is an age of breaking broken records by air and land and sea. lt is the age of women in business, of divorces, after-dinner speeches, societies and clubs, jazz, slang, modern poetry, psychoanalysts, political bosses, reform- ers, and alphabeticism. If you still think life is a trail worth blazing, Vile agree with you. Fifteen Engineers Howard Fralin QSu1nme1'fieldJ. Raymond Wagner fTroy5. Howard Batchelder KHiawathaJ. Wai-ren Sechler lLeonaJ.

SINF, CCDSINF AND TANGENT NGINEERS-the second largest group enrolled in any one course in Highland .Junior College-have a language all their own. t'Sine, cosine, tangent, differential, integral, focus, quan- tum, these words and many others they speak sound to outsiders like Hottentot gibberish. Miss Culbertson is the only woman who can attempt to understand them tthere are no women engineers, you knowj and even she cannot understand somle of the engineers' crack-brained theories. The engineers' course consists primarily of math, chem, math, physics, math, and math. From this, one logically deduces that many of our mathematical geniuses emerge l'rom the engineering de- partment. It has often been said that an engin- eer has a one-track mind, that he thinks only in concrete terms, of mass, length, velocity, energy-in short, only in terms of engineering. The '39 Engineers of H. J. C. have irrefutably proved that their in- terests are many and diversified. Let us consider for a moment the hypothetical situation of H. J. C. without engineers. Think of the Highlander and the Trail Blazer without Loyd, the quartet without Parsons, a play without Mully, a basket- ball game without its quoto of Engineers. What. would a party, a darkroom session, thc Camera Club, the Men's room cushions, the Y. W. room, or the bowling alley be without engineers? Our engineers are en- gaged in every line of activity in the col- lege. Without our engineers, travel would suffer a serious decline, for twith due deference to the journalism departmentj some of our most noted hitch-hikers are engineers. From Texas to North Dakota, from Illinois to California, the gently in- sistent thumbs of our engineers have made their way. One common characteristic betrays every engineer. It distinguishes him from all others, it is a mark of gentility by which one may always know him. He is always broke. No matter when, no mat- ter where, no matter how happy, he is broke. Why? Because he is an engineer. Every engineer has two ambitions: one, to finish his formal education at Kansas State, two, to attend the Open House at Manhattan when he is a sopho- more here. Fate nor :fortune may not al- ways permit, but always he strives to satisfy these ambitions. This year on Senior Day, the Engin- eers of H. J. C. held their own miniature 'tOpen House. Visiting seniors were treat- ed to demonstrations of everything from the accidental receiving of an electric shock to the mysteries of a photo-elec- tric cell. They will ever carry on their search for the solution of mysteries. Seventeen C:OI'TlI'Tl6l'CS Helen Richards CI-Iighlandl. Marie Mooreliead CHighlanrlJ. Jabez Sparks fSparksJ.

I-IEADIN' FOR WALL STQEET S it possible for a student to pound his way to success on a typewriter, or to dash into prosperity with a few quick strokes of shorthand? If it is, Highland Junior College will turn out many pre- destined successes, for the commerce room is always full of would-be secretaries, stenographers, and accountants. On the surface, it. may seem that shorthand is practical only in the business world, but this theory is fallacious. Stu- dents find it very convenient when, sitting beside a fellow commerce student in liter- ature, history, or rhetoric class, they can convey intimate messages of distress or humor with ease. They need not fear the probing eyes of onlookers, the uninitiated regard shorthand as a foreign language. The presence of the commerce depart- ment. in the school is the cause and cure of many student ills. Teachers, knowing that there is available a roomful of Un- derwoods, Royals, and Remingtons, regu- larly announce, 'tAll term papers must be typed. Students, aware that a neat paper has more than an even chance of claim- ing a good grade. sit for hours in the typ- ing rooms trying to decipher whatever language, shorthand, or hen tracks they for their friendsj have made for notes. Through office practice assignments students in the commerce department gain poise and a knowledge of office etiquette and deportment, a first-hand acquaint- ance both with routine and with the in- numerable and unpredictable interrup- tions and distractions which test the metal of the business apprentice. Three kinds of students enroll in com- merce courses: One group Htends strict.- ly to its business and regards the depart- ment as a business college. A second group takes commerce seriously but in- vestigates whatever other departments at- tract its interest. The third group are stu- dents of the general curriculum who de- sire shorthand and typing for their tool value. Always poised, competent, Mrs. Van Scoyoc, so recently Mrs. Reynolds, had led us to believe that she was thoroughly qualified to paddle her own canoe , but in February she admitted that she herself was not so confident. Displaying the new gold band upon her ring finger, she con- fessed that in mid-stream she had found necessary the help of a navigator, and had placed Leland Van Scoyoc, H. J. G. profes- sor of economics and social sciences, in command. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Van! Nineteen Hospitalization Virginia Meyer fBernJ Gertrude Godfrey fWhite , . . Cloudj.

No, not crazy-just Hmedical secretaries at work. carving t.heir way through the skull of a frog to inspect his brain. And a very in- teresting brain-as brains go. The zoology lab seems to be our para- mount interest. As soon as any one men- tions medical secretaries, someone else says, Oh! yes-they're dissecting cats now, aren't they? This last semester we have spent our time 'tcutting up f'rogs and cats. There are seven industrious stu- dents-all girls. And they say girls belong to the weaker sex. Several of the girls have been known to feel slightly Hunhap- py after two hours of smelling formalde- hyde Cfor preserving our dear, dead friends-the frogsj. VVith the aid of slides, we have been progressing splendid- ly with our investigations. NVe may find out-what we are. The poor cat has been our victim for the last nine weeks. But the other day they shot us and the cats- with a motion picture camera. I don't know which was the greatest attraction. They took a special picture of the cat. Our ferreting instinct has also made our chemistry lab of great importance. VVe rat.her like t.his part of our course, finding things out for ourselves. But we become quite disheartened when we ac- cidentally spill some acid on a perfectly good pair of silk stockings. Result--a stocking full of holes. Although we do spend most of our time in the laboratory, there is such a va- riety ot' subjects to study that the work never becomes dull-well, hardly ever. Shorthand, typing, business English, chemistry, zoology, speech-a combina- tion of English, commercial, and labora- tory subjects. Right now, we're anticipa- ting the time, next year, when we can go down to the hospital to study and work under Dr. Ray Meidinger. We've had a taste of it-just an appetizer. Each stu- dent spent a halt' a day in charge of the office. Later on there will be more work, advanced lab technic, first-aid, medical stenography, and medical vocabulary-a dictionary in one hand and a sharp pen- cil in the other. This is the first year this course has been offered at H. J. Ct., but next year there will be another group of students sta.rting on their way to become good medical sec- retaries. VVe leave our frogs and eats in their charge, knowing they will take good care of them. We'll miss them. I Twenty-one Pre- . Twenty-two Barbara Jean Ware fSeveranceJ.

IN Tl-IE CRANNIED WALL N the ancient days when a college was esteemed as a place wherein the learn- ed read together, a degree in Warts was the ultimate in scholarship. Today, branching out from the Liberal Arts course, Highland Junior College offers to interested students a background for the professional divisions of Pre-Medic study designated as Pre-Law, and Home Eco- nomics. Liberal Arts courses provide the fun- damentals for a cultural education. Stu- dents who attend a junior college can se- cure a creditable amount of academic work in two years from the study of the liberal arts. This course forms the basis for specialized fields such as music, art, and business. The Pre-Medic course offers to stu- dents a foundation for four outstanding professions. The doctor, the laboratory technician, the nurse, and the dietitian all begin their training with the pre-medic routines. On the laboratory work of the technician rests the accurate diagnosis of the physician. The nurse is the minister- ing angel to the suffering world. Upon the dietitian depends the supervision of the diets of the patients. Preliminary training for law fPre- Lawj attracts students whose ambition calls them to the field of jurisprudence, both. as lawyers and legal advisers. The Home Economics course is open to girls who are interested in teaching do- mestic science. Also it provides the sub- jects necessary for those interested in specialized work. The fields of work that Highland Junior College offers to students are al- most unlimited. NVith the understanding that this is a two-year college, students in- terested in higher education realize ,the advantages of a smaller school where they can secure personal aid from the instruct- ors and may participate not in just one, but in all of the school activities. There are numerous fields of work that students can enter immediately after leaving here. -Skills acquired in the junior college vo- cational branches prepare them, if they so desire, to work their way through the last two years, or to obtain the maximum val- ues from extra-curricular educational op- portunities in leadership and self-expres- sion. The knowledge secured from Liberal Arts or our other courses is usable in any field of work today. Twenty-three Maurice Chilcote tBedford, Iowaj, dispenses drinks behind the Kennel Bar.

News The Htgf'Ifld'7'l!f87', the official college paper, is the oldest publication of its kind in Kansas. The first issue of the Num'-io, as The Highlander was called. was printed in 1857. Published every six weeks by a staff of t'top'i reporters and a sponsor who hold lengthy press conferences, wield pencils and assemble the news for the printer, The Highlamlei' has a wide circulation, You have probably seen a group ot' students rushing frantically about with notebooks and sharpened pencils in hand, jotting down choice bits of gossip, begging those Hon the inside for details oi' a front-page story or trailing the scent ol' a big 'tscoopf' Others may he seen parading up and down the streets, dodging into stores, graciously receiv- ing ads or desperately demanding copy and stories. Al- ways such commotion warned you, that as 'twas the Week for the school paper to go to press, the staff was putting on a last-minute sprint. Miss Sterz is the facility sponsor of the paper. The tol- lowing students assemble and write the news: Maurice Chilcote teditorj, Eugene Loyd, Neal Ukena, John Jo- hannes, Raymond Wfagner, Mary Jane I-lanny, Bette Ha- macher, Loretta Parker, Sheldon LaFollette, I-Ielen Powell, Lloyd Bell, and Mary Ellen Gilmore. 'tBonjours and the strains of 'tLa Marseillaisen echo- ing down the corridor announced each meeting of 'tLe Cer- cle Francais , a group of petite mademoiselles and beaux messieurs who assembled regularly to chatter or to stammer over their teacups. ' At the first few meetings, Mesdemoiselles Sterz and Neale conversed fluently, each second year student brushed the cobwebs from his memory, and the new members ex- ercised their newly acquired vocabnlaries. The total of this renaissance was, Je ne comprends pas , tl do not under- standj, and Je ne sais pas , tl do not knowj. VVith time and practice their conversational faculties developed, and they turned their thoughts to amateur dramlatics. The first venture was the French version of 'tThe Gratchit's Christmas Dinner, accompanied by bread, apple- sauce, and Monsieur Bell's timely remark, Voila le tele- phone . After the club had struggled through its first dramatic enterprise, it felt sufficiently self-confident to make its brilliant debut. and presented for convocation the comedy, t'Pauvre Sylvie tPoor Sylviaj. A piano solo and Monsieur Booth's melodious interpretation of 'tMa Reverien further ornamented the dramatic triumph of the club. At the annual evening meeting a man of French de- scent., Mr. Ralph Delmare ol' Atchison, spoke of his youth- ful difficulties. Ftegular meetings, picnics, and luncheons furnished ample opportunities to improve fluency of speech, to pro- mote international understandings. and to enjoy friendly social contacts-the goal ot' Le Gercle Francais.

MEETINGS TUESDAY MOFQNINGS OFTLY padded benches for lounging, light monkscloth drapes waving in the breeze, tables for studying. a coat rack nobly bearing the weight ot' loo many wraps, scattered books, pencil stubs, wads of paper-these are all distinctive marks of the Y. EW. C. A. room. Regularly weekly meetings and monthly cabinet luncheons blazed the trail for a successful year of Hpromotin' l'. Girls from high schools in northeast Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska dodged raindrops as they rushed from meeting to meeting, banquet to barracks, breakfast to chapel. But of course a rain was expect- ed-in fact the girls would have been dis- appointed if it hadn't rained. Anyway, the Retreat, with its theme, t'Every Girl and Her Quest, was obviously success- ful. This year, for the first time, the club sent representatives to the Student Chris- tian Movement of America held at VVichi- ta. Our delegates were: Anna Mae Kern, Virginia Shoemaker, Hattie Smith, and Mrs. Van Scoyoc. The Cabinet was composed of Maxine Banta. presidentg Hattie Smith, vice-pres- identg Betty Stetler, secretaryg Betty Lou Davis, treasurer, Luella Poister, pianist, Mrs. Van Scoyoc, sponsor. Committee chairmen were: Virginia Shoemaker, Hen- na Nawrocki, Dorothy Denton, Mary Jane Hanny, Dorothy Albers, Anabel Ledington, Jeanne Ukena. On September 15, a large group of freshmen and sophomore men met 'lo re- organize the Men's Club of H. J. C. The program and the policies for the year were planned. After the launching ot' the club pro- gram, the more serious endeavors were intermingled with recreational consider- ations of a. soft ball and a volley ball tour- nament. One of the outstanding events of the year was the CCC sponsored jointly by the Y. VV. and the Men's Club. In De- cember the club supplied the convocation program, featuring a clown band with Batson as a guest artist. Joint meetings of the Y. W. and Men's Club were held once each semester. In every way t.he club was a success. The old study table was replaced by a larger table with desk writing lamps. Soft padded benches around the room increas- ed the scholastic standing ol' the members noticeably, for by increasing the sleep- ing facilities the boys reduced their ten- dency to sleep in class. The significant accomplishment of the Men's Club, how- ever, was the good fellowship promoted among its members. Twenty-seven ,W as IJ. ll vfwav - - -f'-Q W-V-ff K DFGITIB Bette Hamacher fHighlandJ.

BRCDADWAY AND Tl-IE QUAD T.-XRS and Stooges, otherwise known as the M :sk and Curtain Club, kept the boards ofthe College stage well worn throughout the entire season tnine months, not five, dear Broadwayl- and what a season! One-act comedies, tragedies, t'an.t.asies, and one t'ull-length drama, It Crm? Hap- pen Here, made up the season. The short plays included Let Slip the War Dogs, a peace fantasy against a background of college lite, Box Cai' Head- tn' West, a psycliologieal study ot' ttfor- gotten men heading for the 'harvest fields, Goofs More, a study in character, and Her lvlajesly, the King, a travesty ou European royalty. Angels D0n'l Marry and Gallant Lady, a humorous study and a serious study, respectively, of mat.rimon,ial prob- lems, were double cast, and competitively presented. Maurice Chileote and Audrey McCormick were judged the Lunt and Fontanne of the t'our groups. At the beginning of the year, Mask and Curtain members, thinking it would be heaps ol' fun to take a group ot' one- act plays on tour, made seven trips to schools and to clubs in the surrounding towns. Taking a show on the road after it had run on Higl1laud's Broadway be- came a popular custom. A large cast. and a corps of workers made ready an entirely new stage dress for the serious and timely spring play, Ii Gantt llappen Here. Mildly amused by the antics of a man. who would hire time on a national radio network to broadcast his campaign theme, 'tl don't want to be presidentg I merely want to serve, Doremus Jessup, a small-town Vermont editor, blindly stumbles into the magnet- ic trap ol' a paranoid president. Though propaganda t'or dictatorship has not pros- pered in America as it has in Europe, the possibility ot a national catastrophe is made credible and the t'ight against it, heroic. Cut of the play grows a new l'aith in America and in her people. Adding equipment to the stage has been the accomplishment of the project committee. t'Spots and other lighting ef- fects, as well as new 14-foot flats, are the present evidence ot' their careful planning, buying, and building. Hopes are still high t'or a cyclorama with tracks and every- thing. , VVith pride in its successful run, the Mask and Curtain Club rings down its curtain on the year's drama. with a re- statement of its purpose: To t'urt.her dra- matic activity in Highland and the sur- rounding communities. Tw enty-nine BAGPIPE TART the day with a song, chorus begins at eight o'clock sharp, In the next fifty minutes thirty-five throats swing-I mean sing- on down with tl1e aid and assistance of old Prof. Booth. Each and every Tuesday ends equally wvell-with orchestra practice. IH between these musical interludes the stu- dents find time for their studies and such practices as may come up. The trio- Love, Laughter, and Loyalty, or the three little words, the Misses Blevins, Shoemak- er, and Ukena-sing their prettiest for Prof. Booth. The quartet-Messrs. Henry, Batson, Chilcote, and Parsons-have a Whale of a time wailing for Miss Culbert- son. The ensemble enjoy their public ap- pearances, they practice regularly so that they will be asked again. Throughout the first semester the chorus worked toward one goal, the Ves-V per Service. Assisted by the grade and high school choruses, this service made a Sunday afternoon radio broadcast over Thirty IQ!-IYTI-IM KFEQ, St. Joseph. This broadcast is be- coming an annual event, each perform- ance being better than the preceding one. lf at any time during the school term a program needs filling, the trio, quartet. or the ensemble is glad to oblige. In addition, the quartet makes a spring tour to the high schools of Doniphan and Brown counties. Professor Booth has been teaching here for three years, and in that time his personality has won him an enviable place among the Eds and tio-eds tespecial- ly the Co-edsj. Unfortunately, they have to share their Professor of Sing and Swing with the high school and grade schoolg this is hard for Prof. Booth toog he really has to rush around. Add to a group of enthusiastic pupils an opportunity for them to show their talents, and a director supreme, and what have you?

But a spark was found, fanned, and fed. It grew. XV hat formerly had been a heap ot' embers became a brightly burning fire-our school spirit! Cheer leaders were elected-Elva Mae Gish. Betty Lou Davis, Don Rankin. and Paul V each. Facility guidance was given by Miss Culbertson. Later, Virginia Shoemaker was added to the group of pep ot'f'icials. Frequent meetings were held t.o give the students a chance to learn the peppy, loyal yells and songs ot' H. J. C. For the St. Joseph game-completing the season-99? ot' the college turned out. A pep-hand led by Neal Ukena was there to help us show the Scotties how much we ap- preciate their fine work. The fun ot' Sadie Hawkins' Day Cremember the snake dance?j and a grand and gala I'orma.l banquet closed the basketball year in a blaze ot' en thusiasm. There's Blue for her character, honor, and worth, Thereis Gold for her vigor and vim. Any monotony which might have infested college routine was shattered by the advent ot' the Camera Club, sponsor- ed by Miss Sterz. Going strong with twenty-tour members, it has taken t'or its slogan, t'Shot in the Act. The first semes- ter, President Gish and Vice- President Mehl held sway, but after they had gone on to bigger and better things, Mary Ellen Gilmore and Na- dine Atkins were elected as potentates ot' filmland. Because of the infancy of the organization and the am- ateur standing of all its mem- bers, Crawford and Suther- land, wizards of the dark- room, spent many 'twee hours extracting pictures t'rom impossible negatives. The club remains a problem child. In living up to the motto, it was our 'tmean task to shoot Acker swiping the bulb from the entrance light, Marsh es- caping duty via the window, and Gish and Mehl absorbed in the intellectual realms of education. VVith the club's equipment, we were able to secure shots ot' Orville Suth- erland in action in the dark room, ot' a busy day on the bulletin hoard, and of the Camera Club in session.

TRAIL BLAZING The letters HT. B. may stand for fi, number oi' things, such as tuberculosis, Itongne-l'n'andisher, tale-hearerg but in connection with student activities they can mean nothing but HTl'kl,ll Blazer. Liglils could occasionally be seen blazing in the college lniilfling .in lihe wee small hours ol' the inorning while the staff, sl,ii'ling yawns, and propping up drooping eyelids-pored over manuscripts, crossed one word ont, inserted another, re- arranged piclnres, or planned advertise- ments. Anyway, it was a, lolz of fun, and the stall' feels their i'pi,oi'ieering was time well-spent blazing anew the aninial trail. Tl'liI'ty-fO11l' Snapshots are memory prickers. The Trail Blazer includes all kinds. Some will call forth chuckles, others, frowns. As you have probably noticed by glancing at the pictures. students were willing to sacrifice all the pride they had worked so hard to attain, just to make a good snap for the Trail Blazer. For instance, there was the time when the certain person, who edited this hook-not mentioning any names-dropped her dignity and posed Cor was the slip accidental?j prostrate on the .icy sidewalk in mid-winter. Another person, it is rumored, had twenty-seven shots taken of herself. DEUCE! N the spring athletic fancy stages a tournament beginning with Love all and progressing systematically through Deuce to HGHIHGN and HSet . VVith ten- nis on two courts and conrters on the sidelines, no H. J. C. student lacks oppor- tunity for speculation. Athlete and phil- osopher alike may be heard asking, Is this a love match, and proclaiming, 'tThat's a racquet. Long before spring heard of Highland, tennis propaganda favored the improvement of our courtg but when it was learned that complete equipment for a new court had been given to the school by a former faculty mem- ber, enthusiasm became acute. A horse and a. plow appeared on the campus, boys in overalls set to work. The old court was renovated, and the new one prepared to rival VVimbledon. Shoesto fit fifty pairs of feet were Warned of the hard steps ahead of them when their wearers should enter the Spring Tournament, to compete for the four trophy cups pro- vided by the college athletic fund and stu- dent contributions. It's a pity a yearbook has to go to press before winners can be known. The staff leaves space for you to inscribe their names.

For the most part these games are intra-mural, but interest in them occasionally mounts so high that boys leave town and pay penalties in cuts, lured out by the diamond dust. And speaking of intra-murals, a, word should be said for ping pong, that fascin- ating dormitory game. 'Tis said that champions are made nightly across the net on the dining-room table.

Lettermen Ross, Chilcote, Molinare, Bell, and Johannes drew enviable attention. Two weeks of hard practice followed. Then Coach NVar- ren and his entire squad set out to take NVillis, but-didn't. Defeat seemed to be on every side ot' the Highland clan. Defeat. Defeat-by lola, twiceq St. Joe, twice: Haskell, twiceg Viihite Cloud Merchants, twice, and NVil- lis, once. Every possible combination ol' plays was tried by this clan, without avail. The great Ross with his accom- plished left hand seemed to fail. Chilcote convalesced from a knee thrown out of joint. Henry and Molinare suffered sprained ankles. The number of players dropped-20, 15, t12was practice became harder and winter nights became Colder. Only 10 courageous Scotties were to com- plete the year. This made practice 'hard- er, but at this point. the story takes a dif- ferent course. T . Victory. Did the boys learn what that word meant? They did. They went out to double the score on Vifillisg they took the Everest Internationals for two games, and they overthrew Doniphan. W'inning the games was only part of the 'Y- victxory. Courage, school spirit, and team work entered their games. Boss. making '19 points. showed up the strong St. Joe Crit't'ons. Molina.re, Henry, and Chilcote patched themselves together and got back onto the court. Bell and Batchelder came through in spurts to help the games along as guards. Johannes broke loose this year for some nice playing, breaking-more than doubling-his last year's goal record. rneaa-eye, Pele, too, knew where the goal was. Ketterman and Marsh shouldn't be left out of this, for they were ot' great help when the squad practiced. Then, with a great Pep Rally and a burst of school spirit such as never had been t'elt before, the Scotties marched to their last game with St. Joe Junior Col- lege. The boys really played. The half ended with St. Joe leading by 6 points. The game seemed endlessg on and on it went, both teams tiring fast. Bang! went the gun to end the last game 48 to 26 for St. Joe. But the Scotties were not 'tdown in the mouth , they congratulated the Griffon team and put away their suits for the year. H Yes, they were defeated in most of their gamesg but in courage, spirit, and morale they were triumphantly victorious. Thirty-seven QEGINAE VICTCDRIAE I.

So called were the students once more to demand A lady to stand for the Highlander band. As records were broken this year by the score The custom of one queen we all did ignore. Two beauties were sent instead oi' just one More glorious than diamonds which flash in the sun. Breaking all precedent, great was the joy At the reign of Queens Nelson. the fair 'twins from Troy.
