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.

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. Pictures Here is an indication of where the Camera Club gets its bulbs. The means for the end. Elva Mae Gish tDentonJ and Arthur Mehl fRobinsonJ. Arrange for your dates here.

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. Championship Trophy: Men's Singles Qhauvf?--f Women's Singles Second Place Medal: Meng Singles Women's Singles The softball fans schedule fall and spring games. 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. Thirty-five
