The Ag Open-hlouse and other first-semester activities went unabated; and somehow, in spite of fast-breaking developments, the major Ag social function, the Ag Ball — a rip-roaring, fun-provoking, temper-testing event of the year — also went on schedule. But there ' s no denying that things won ' t seem the same until the Ags are back on the campus again in full force. What a day it will be! Meanwhile, the absent ones Qre out helping to reap victory, with assurance that it ' s going to be a full harvest. And wherever they are, on the sea, on In the air, or working the land to feed the nation, they ' ll be doing a good job! Page Twenty-three
