 What We Look Like” is not quite the correct title for this section. Perhaps it should be What We Look Like When We Go To A Photographer's Studio,” We usually do not assume the dignified atmosphere suggested by the formal pictures. But we have to be flattered. Sometimes the candid photographer snaps our pictures at the wrong angle. Perhaps our hair hasn’t been done for weeks. Or our trousers are wrinkled and the tie is crooked. Or, perhaps we aren’t wearing a tie at all. We may look more natural, but none of us likes to look natural all the time. We are pretenders. That is the reason this section was placed! in this yearbook, and in almost every year book in the nation.

Pvo yiCv»i When the students return to school next fall, especially the men, they will find that the sand, the bricks, and the dirt shall have been cleared away, and the new men’s resi- dence hall ready for them to use. However, before next fall, the new cafeteria will have fed hundreds of summer school students. The new men’s residence hall is said to he conservatively modern in design. It has rounded corners, glass brick in the walls of the reception room, and in the alcoves in the dining hall. In the main reception room, there will be a fire place where men may warm their backs before setting out to classes. Besides the new men’s hall, there have been some significant changes about the campus, The driveways behind the Administration building were changed to increase the park- ing space. Some of the trees, large ones too, had to be moved. The winding sidewalk on the northeast corner of the campus had one of its kinks taken out; and now it follows a graceful curved line up to the north entrance of the Administration building.

In the picture at the extreme left, the choir is getting onto the busses that took it on the trip through eastern Nebraska. Floyd Newman, with back to camera, waits while an unidentified girl chats with the bus driver. John Hawk stands with his in- strument case and an over night bag. Ap- proxima rely seventy-five made the tour. The next picture was taken just after the first bell. In the front row, Theda Berg, back to camera, talks over the as- signment with Mrs. Bate. The boy in the pensive pose is William Aunspaugh. In the second row of chairs, Lindell Han thorn, facing camera, looks as if he might be asleep; but he wasn't. The girl in the white sweater turning the pages in her book is Frances Hancock. The girl who is smiling so prettily for the cameraman is Dora Baisinger. The sack under her arm contained food which was to be given to the Salvation army at Thanksgiving time. This giving of food is one of the customs of the Home He club of which Dora is a member. She was on her way to class. Notice the two books under her arm. In the picture at the extreme left, lower row% Avis Hedrix pauses on her way to the Club House to talk to a friend. John Gottsche and Mildred Foreman measure volt- age in the Physics lab. This is only one of the many experiments, in which electricity is involved, that the Physics students have to do. Notice the notebooks. They were tabulating the various readings of the in- strument when the picture was taken. President Cushing looks as if he were asking if everything was ready. He had come out to the bus to see the basketball team which was starting on its trip through Texas and Oklahoma. Scotty McCall, one of the players can be seen through the glass of the bus. The luggage was tied on the top. The trip was one of the longest ever taken by a team from this college.
