Throngs of students joined the leaders of the band and, in snake dance fashion, zig-zagged their way to Central Auditorium tor a pep test. The band added a joyous spirit to the peppy crowd as they filed into the auditorium to cheer for the team and watch the antics of Brough, Bir- kelo, Bingham, Phil Ringgenberg, and Harvey Coblentz. t281

What would we have ever done without our coke machine for a pause to refresh ourselves dur- ing the tedious hours of class work! At almost any time of the day, both teachers and students gathered at coke corner to exchange gossip or just sit and sip cokes, and then, off to class again. The telephone in the faculty office was CI popular spot for students to congregate to chat and make necessary phone calls. This year the Ophthalmic Optics students worked in their new laboratory. Between LC. and the lab, they were constantly coming or going. t271

The biggest turnout for football in the history of RIC greeted Coach Ioe Rockenbach the first week in September. Returning were fourteen lettermen, and prospects for a good team were ex- tremely bright. After the first game against Bethel, the squad was cut down as a result of numerous injuries. The Yellowjackets won the ball game, however, 13 to 6. The Jackets next met Northland College of Ashland, Wisconsin, and the boys from the north powered over the Yellowjackets 25 to 0. Waldorf was the next foe tor the Blue and Gold as they journeyed to Forest City, Iowa. The Yellowjackets completely outplayed the home team and won by a 20 to 6 score. The next game found the Yellowjackets let down as they edged a fighting Emmetsburg I. C. team by 27 to 20. The Yellowjackets journeyed to Austin for the next contest and were defeated 7 to O on a rain- soaked field. Ronny Gillespie played one of his best games of the season. In the last two games played, the Yellowjackets were defeated first by Worthington by a 19 to 6 score, and then lost to Mason City, I. C. in the Iowa city, 34 to 20, in a wild game. I291
