L A C U E S T A 1 9 3 0 March 24 . U The play Torch Bearers was given by the Arizona. Playmakers. It was a howling success. fMostly howlingll March 29 Here's where the Sigma Alpha and their guests strutted their stuff. They financed a dinner dance at the Monte Vista Hotel. I wonder why they felt so rich all of a sudden, don't you? April 3 We almost lost Dizz Hanley when the Phoenix Junior College Girls Glee Club entertained here. April 11 The W. A. A. gave a big bawl. This is one time the boys felt rushed because the girls had to do all the inviting and changing dances. April 21 The opera Martha was given by the Mixed Glee Club. We were actually surprised to know that we had such splendid voices on the campus. April 25 and 26 These were certainly big days. Most all the high schools in northern Arizona were represented here in dramatic, music and commerce con- tests. Winslow high school took all of the honors with a few exceptions. May 8 Geoffrey Hodson gave a very interesting lecture. May 14 Hiking Club trip to Rainbow Natural Bridge. Interesting and lots of fun. May 16 and 17 Some more big days when the N. A. H. S. track meet was held. May 24 Oh boy! Ain't we got fun! Pa Gammage sure is good to us to give us such a nice college picnic. May 30 Memorial Day. May 31 The Senior Ball was another fascinating event of the year. June 1 Baccalaureate SGFVICGS. June 2 President's reception. I'll bet Prexy hates to think about us all leav- ing him. J une 3 Senior banquet. 'N' more good things to eat. June 4 ' Commencement and Awards Day. Goodybe, seniors. Now, don't forget all about us poor under-classmen.

LA CUESTA 1930 January 18 Bury Hall threw a party for the University men after the game. Now aren't they big-hearted? January 24 The W. A. A. gave a hen party where no men were allowed. Did they have fun-just ask any girl that was present. January 24 The Sigma Alphas can't stand by and see the girls leave the boys out of anything so they gave the men of the campus a skiing party. Now ain't that just like a man? January 29 Campbell Hall gave a program in assembly. Plenty of talent and cleverness was displayed. February 1 Morton Hall gave a benefit party. Of course not many college stu- dents came 'cause it cost something. February 4 - Spanish Club gives a unique party-indeed. February 14 , Campbell Hall stages a carnival dance. The ones who m-issed it are still griping about it. February 21 The Junior Prom. This date had been looked forward to by almost everyone on the campus, 'cause the juniors got generous and invited lots of students. Now ain't they nice juniors? February 28 and March 1 A. S. T. C. Axemen battled against the Lobos of New Mexico University in a heated game of basketball. This was the final game of the season. Hip-hip-hurrray! for our loyal athletes! March 5 Campbell Hall isn't the only talented group on the campus. Morton Hall proved this by a humorous program given in assembly. March 14 The winter quarter closed with an attractively decorated St. Pat- rick dance given by our lowly freshmen. SPRING QUARTER March 21 Science Club dance was just another good time for old A. S. T. C. students. March 22 Every dog has his day and the intelligent students in our midst had theirs when the Honor Society sponsored a dinner dance. Everyone wondered why Squirt Robinson wasn't there. Do you? One Hundred Fifty-fou

LA CUESTA 1930 CRASHING BROADWAY Now the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Miss Smith, if this line were bent, what would it become? Two rows back a sleek, black-haired girl with eyes that seemed to reflect the same sleekness, looked at the professor with a start. Why- er-Dr. Reagan, it would be crooked. The professor seemed confused at such an answer, and thinking that perhaps he had not made himself clear, smiled at the confident Miss Smith and said, I beg your pardon, you didn't understand. fPeople were always begging Ruth's pardon, those eyes of hers almost made youb. I mean, if a straight line is bent, what do we call it? Ruth gave the Doctor a look of uncertainty, flashed him a smile, and replied, Modernistic art. It was seven-thirty in the dormitory, six girls were reclining on vari- ous pieces of furniture, including the bed of Ruth Smith's room. It was study hour and the girls were occupied in various ways, two were indulg- ing in the contents of the latest issue of College Humor , one was writing a letter home, which ran something like this: A I'm outta dough, Mom, and I spent all my Prom dress money on hot dogs and chewing gum, you know, Mother dear, a woman of the world must live up to her own social standing, so you see how it is, darling, a college woman has a great deal to contend with, and now be a dear and write me a little check for-oh, let's see-I'm sure I can run on 350.00 for a couple of weeks, and listen, don't tell Dad and maybe he won't cut down on my allowance. Your loving daughter. P. S.-I'm sorry I got all 4's, but these old teachers can't appreciate talent, because, Mother, you realize my abilities, don't you, dear? Jean. Ruth Smith was sitting in the window discoursing with one of the campus shieks concerning a date for the show Friday night: Yeah, kid, you wanna go, 'cause, Ruth, ya know, you expect to go on the stage when you get big, and this here show is 'shore' good I'm tellin' ya. O. K. We'll go see the Show of Shows if you'll promise not to go to sleep, big boy. Q Then, turning to the laboring girls in the room Ruth said, Listen, kids, let's go over to the stand and eat a hot dog, then we can come home and play bridge, and then if there isn't anything else to do we'll study a little before the lights go out. This seemed to meet with approval and each girl went to her room for the necessary dime. They were big, hot juicy dogs, and arranging with the manager to charge it they ate two, besides Milky Ways and salted peanuts along with bismarks and doughnuts. In fact, they did not reach the dormitory until ten-thirty and on arriving at Ruth's room no one felt like playing bridge for some curious reason. After a few comments on the incorrect methods used by college professors and the scandalous gossip that was being circulated about a few of the students, each girl fled to her own room with barely enough energy to perform the necessary washing of hose and teeth before crawling in.
