SYMPHONIC SOUNDS, spirited Sousa marches—nothing seems impossi Band, one of the nation’s finest. “I PRONOUNCE YOU Queen Irma Lee and King Murry, royal couple of Homecoming.” So begins the coronation speech given by President Prentice Meador at “Mock Homecoming.” WINNERS of the Press Club Talent Show are the Soph-Tones. They bring down the house with their version of “Charlie Brown.” Page 24 ble for the group of musicians banded together as the United States Navy Local and Imported Talent Entertain Campus life wouldn’t be campus life without a variety of programs to highlight the season with spar- kling talent and entertainment. Early in the school year came the annual senior-faculty basketball game. Adding new life to this lively event was the first “mock Home- coming” ceremony. Never to be forgotten is the half- time coronation of Queen Irma Lee Batey and King Murry Martin in all their regal spendor. The ceremony was complete with faculty attendants and the crowning by the balding president—Meador, that is. Preston, noted hypnotist, was sponsored jointly by the junior classes of the high school and college in a special’ show on the campus during November. The annual Press Club Talent Show was another program scheduled during fall quarter. Campus talent partici- pating included vocal groups as well as-individual artists. During February, the Press Club again provided beau- tiful entertainment—namely, the annual Festival of Hearts, at which the six Campus Beauties are named. The United States Navy Band presented matinee and evening performances in McQuiddy Gymnasium on April 11. Sponsored by the junior class, one of the world’s great bands provided a fitting climax to a season of excellent programs on campus.

“CAN IT REALLY BE that we have been studying for two hours?” Tom Allen asks a co-student, Freddy Holla- day. Freddy’s watch confirms Tom’s suspicion, but Roger Peck and David Walker remain engrossed in their study- ing. THE TIME is fifteen minutes later, and this quartet is ready to get out of the dorm to take a break and get “something to eat.” They promise themselves that they will be back with their books in one hour. MUCH LATER four absentminded friends come home to Elam only to find the doors locked. Second floor windows are not inaccessible to four ingenious friends—at least, not until they hear the familiar voice of Supervisor Pete Sawtelle. Battle for Self-Mastery An evening in Elam Hall usually begins with good intentions of studying. The study period starts only after sitting on the cafeteria wall until dark and walking girl friends back to their dorms. ‘Then comes study in earnest until someone proposes a game of chess or a trip to the drugstore for cheeseburgers and coffee. It’s a losing battle. How can anyone expect college men to study in the face of such temptations as food and frolic? Life in the boys’ dorm never lacks excitement— ranging from heated political discussions behind closed doors to noisy water fights and other mischievous pranks. Anything goes—as long as it’s a “good trick.” The girls sometimes go so far as to accuse the boys of being sloppy housekeepers after they visit Elam dur- ing “open house” on Homecoming. Some of the fellows may confess to it, but they all agree that there are many things more important than the menial tasks of sweep- ing, washing windows and making beds. College men need to conserve their time for intellectual discussions and periods of relaxation. Page 26
