‘DEEP-KNEE BEND, now: hands on Ihps, jump to position, feet apart — one, two, three . . . Exereise and praetiee, in elass and out, is Miss Jainart’s remedy for peeling off that fat eansed bv too many ehoeolates and not enough whole wheat. After a ork-ont in the g ' m, ' ‘phvs ed” stu¬ dents are sent out to faee the wintry blasts on the hoekev field. One of the most exeiting games was between the senior women, who held the intramural hoekey ehampionship for three years, and the sophomores. After a fieree and raging battle, the sophs won, 2 to 1, and went on to defeat the juniors and eop the 1941 ehampionship. Athletie prowess among these sophomores does not seem to be eonfined to the women. x nother e ’ent of purely loeal interest oe- enrred when the sophomore ' ' Bears” de¬ feated the freshman Redskins” to win the toneh football ehampionship of the sehool. A break in the regular sehednle eame with the State deaehers Meeting, when sehool was dismissed a half-day early and we en¬ joyed a “long” week-end. Three w ' eeks later found the eollege almost oyerrun with strangers as the eonnt ' home¬ makers made rise of the dining hall for their Inneheon and meeting, and “dorm” and “day” girls seryed as hostesses. The next day eyeryone w ' as senrrying aronnd getting ready for the A. A. danee. College aetiyities were in full swing. • 13 •

. . . to the seasoned eollegian seldom differ in eolleges from one year to the next. These are the aetivities that might indieate any one of many tvpieal days at the eollege — outstanding beeause of a new experienee, a major triumph, or just a good time. I lammers banging, paint brushes swinging, eostumes slipping over one ehubby girl’s head or past another’s slim waist — as student teaehers got in the wav of INDUSTRY. Thus the Sixth Grade (in eollaboration with the Sen¬ iors) presented the gigantie speetaele of the “Mighty Days of Robin Hood.” And after- w’ards — no Broadway produeer eould tell ns a thing about giving a major performanee. Write a play, paint baekdrops, build sets, find eostumes, and direet the eharaeters — that’s all there is to it. Was it fun? Ask any Senior. THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY, sponsored by the Home Assoeiation and the Day Stu¬ dents, offered a respite from sueh worldly eares. The gymnasium beeame the stalking grounds of ghosts, goblins, and ghoulish fig¬ ures. Mnsie and noise, puneh (of various kinds) and applesauee (ineluding the eake kind) all helped faeulty and students eele- brate the holiday. Sally Dr den, eostnmed as a Spanish senorita, eaptured the prize for the prettiest. The funniest in the group seemed to be Carmel Wilson and Jake Dry- den ho ■ere, for the night, the supporting ends of a burlesque elothes-line. Jimmy Thompson was easily the best disguised pres¬ ent; and Charles Pitts, pieture of the Himeh- baek of Notre Dame himself, was judged the most original. 12 .

EARLY IN THE MORNING students are seen hurrying up the walk or hopping off a bus trying to make that eight-thirty elass. Tliis is an espeeially diffieult feat for the eoed who stayed up late the night before — studying, of eourse. A probable laek of break¬ fast and the steady grind till 12:05 are the major eauses for the sudden bursting open of elassroom doors and the head-on rush for the eafeteria. Here the dorm girls oeeupy front seats, the men run a elose seeond, and the belated day students trudge a little farther back. However, campus life really begins about 2:20 when most of the classes arc out and students gather on the front steps or trek over to Lloyd’s for a Yoke.” I lere they hash out the present world situa¬ tion, the latest faculty gossip, or the reason for that C-minus grade. THE EIRST real hint of winter comes about the last Thursday in November when every¬ one suddenly realizes that this is Thanks- giving. “Miss Ruth’s” annual turkey dinner brought full attendance to the dining room on Tuesday night, November 16. Next day found the halls lined with suitcases and their not-so-patiently waiting owners. Bv mid¬ afternoon, the place was practically deserted for the first vacation — until Monday, November 22nd. . 14 •
