After two weeks of vacation, then we went to the station, returned to old familiar haunts, renewed friendships, re- opened our books and started another quarter in this institution of higher learn- ing. Time . . . any, Place . . . Union Lounge, the proverbial bridge ses- sion. The Wyoming Cowboys engaged Brigham Young University in the first inter-collegiate game of nearly two years Friday, January 19th, at the famous Half-acre ushering in the basketball season. Our lively cheer- leaders with the cooperation of the stu- dent body added to the zest and color of this game and those following. In winter it ' s women ' s . . . and Boles fancy is Rogers, any sea- son . . Art Allen and friends seem to be stuck in the snow, and happy about it too. 16 Our Campus, beautiful.

Pat Tobin seems to have lost the rest of the party. They all writ their letters and now they is all awaitin ' for Santy . . . These numerous week-end functions brought to a close the social life of the quarter and ushered in Dead Week, that dreadful lull before the storm, namely FINALS. Four days of brain-wracking cramming and sleepless nights at last were over and students wearily headed for home to recuperate during the Christmas holidays. The holiday spirit held sway as all social groups on the campus enjoyed final functions before closed week. One of the gayest of these affairs was the Snowball All-University Fall Formal sponsored by the Independents which took place in the Union Ballroom with music furnished by Jimmy Meyer ' s orchestra. Annalyll cramming with Morpheus . . . one good course in dreamland. 15

One of the many mixers held in the Union Ball Room. Terrific man shortage, what with the girls shoveling their own walks . . . Registration . . . what again! Lines, lines, lines, red tape, and lines . . . the Seniors re- membering those last-minute requirements . . , the Freshmen looking nonchalant, after all, this is their second registration . . . lines, lines, lines and then off to the Union for the proverbia coke, some backfence gossip, and already reminising about Christmas vacation. Here we see Mike giving the on lookers a few lessons in stemming Ski jaunts to Summit . . . snowball fights . . . hot chocolate in the Union . . . the beginning of a new quarter and resolutions to really study this time. Resolutions made to be broken, and the old question . . . Whose got a deck of cards . . . like to sit in on a bridge game? Tuesday night mixers in the Union, everyone enjoying this weekly dance given by the Independents . . . those more than comfortable, but not a bit private couches in the Lounge . . . the Union is a pretty wonderful hangout come January and its cold blasts.
