They kept alert and up with the news, for current events and discussions were tied up with the elections. Physical education was another class that was a benefit to all. lt kept everyone physically and mentally fit. In the fall when they played games such as softball and baseball outside, sometimes the air got mighty chilly, but the fun was worth that and more. Later on in the year, volleyball and soccer took up most of their time, ln our classes, we did not neglect to learn the value of a dollar. When the ag boys decided to go to Kansas City for a convention, a way had to be found to earn money to get there. When all of them got together, they capped the idea of selling scrap iron, and made enough money to pay for a trip they all enjoyed. This was one of the many good times they had during the school year. Book week was not forgotten either, judging from the display of new books in our library. Pl Parnassus on Wheels was the theme that our librarian planned for Book Week. The faculty tea, given by our librarians, Miss Qrny Figard and Miss Hazel Shostrom, was another highlight of Book Week.

Two mem- bers ot the class, Ianet Htwater and Donna Ferguson, had the honor of working on the Daily Nebraskan, Beside meeting old ac- quaintances who were attending the univer- sity, they also saw plays put on by students oi the university. The crowning social event was the dance presented at the Student Union, which they were invited to attend. The junior speech class had its share of amusement provided by speeches given in that class. When a white pig made its ap- pearance with its owner, Myron Bennett, who wanted to give a sales talk on it, they adopted the pig as their pet and class mas- cot. However, besides being entertained by some ot their speeches, they also learned the fundamentals of good speaking by giv- ing banquet speeches and other types of talks that are necessary for public speaking. ln bygone days, education consisted mainly of reading, riting and rithrneticf' but our schooling included many things. Drivers education was a new class that taught students to drive carefully and sane- ly. Pllthough at times we wondered about the saneness ol backing up and down reser- voir hill, as they had to do in order to pass the course. No doubt, this would be quite a feat tor an experienced driver, but even those who were beginning, learned to do this ably and well. We tackle anything is the motto ol these shop boys Iim Hoffman George Smith Lynn De Laet and Hubert Frank Page 18

Despite the cold weather, Coach Ioe Greeno sent his classes outside to keep in shape with exercises and calesthenics. During one ot the Worst blizzzards, students were attending the annual music clinic in Omaha. Because ot snow blocked roads, it was rather uncertain when they could return. However, with little delay, they arrived safely and we welcomed them with open arms. Home economics girls proved their style sense by staging a fashion show. Each girl made and modeled her own dress along with two other outtits. They learned to make unusual Christmas candies and cookies which we willingly sampled. Hide-andeseek was played by Miss Qlta Kiblers senior English classes when they produced their own radio programs, H microphone was set up in Kibbies closet with a loud speaker in the classroom. The broadcast was made in the closet to make the radio realistic. English literature is read by Ianeen Donaly to Lois Keeping up on the current news is Hurry Rapp, Miller. Harold Hllen. Hngie Speck.
