Anderson, B.A. jane Williams, M.A. Reading rates high with these teachers as a hobby, for Miss Marie Dobyns, Miss joy FraiPont, and Miss Helen Anderson listed it as their number one hobby, and almost the entire department included it on their list of entertainments. But ranging right along side of reading are all types of outdoor amusement, such as Mr. Ray- mond Froehlich's fishing, Miss Vera Hunters golfing, hunting, or hiking, Mr. John Burlend's tennis and bad- minton, Mr. Earl Kiesling's gardening, and Miss Anderson's hiking. Besides reading, Miss Jane Vlilliams re- laxes while playing chess, which Mr. Froehlich also enjoys, along with collecting campaign buttons. I-203 ,M

Coach C0455 Edwina McCcnchie, M.S. Marion Pierce As no two people are alike, neither are two most thrilling experiences simi- lar. But among these sportsmen, it is only natural that Mrs. Ruth jones would enjoy catching her lirst wall-eyed pike, that Mr. Harry Palmer remembers his first fishing trip up North, and that Miss Edwina McConchie thrilled at seeing Nebraska win a Rose Bowl game. Colonel Lee Sumner will always remember his Hrst day in the Army. Sergeant John Smith remembers nearly slipping over a precipice, and Miss Marion Dagnan recalls nearly sliding over a cliff. As for Miss Marian Pierce, a long distance phone call from Buenos Aires will always be remembered. Mr. James Laude will always thrill to see East high win a basketball tournament. But Mr. Clarence Steve Polaski tops them allg being the father of a boy was the biggest thrill he had! Ruth Jones, B.A E191

Smith, M.A. Home Erorlomics 115-ad gf An Department Many and varied are the musical compositions favored by these faculty members, with both Miss Vera Smith and Miss Marion Whittle favoring Brahms, the former his Hungarian Dance No. S, and the latter any com- position of his. The Passion According to St. Matthew by Bach is Mr. Linden Lundstrom's favorite and the William Tell Overture thrills Miss Ingrid Nielsen. Then too, there is Miss Catherine Needham's favorite, Sebelius' Symphony Number l, and Miss Jacquelyn Anderson's universally well loved Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony. As for Mr. june Bornor, Cesar Ftanck's D Minor Symphony makes for good listening. But Mr. Allen Elmquist, although expressing a preference for selections from Handel's Messiah, would like to know why people don't like everything in music that is worth while hearing. i21l
