Xtowa. toX Often on passing room 108, the aroma of one of Granny's old fashion recipes reaches your nostrils, or then again, it may be the odor of some concoction thought up by Lucy Ellen. They came, they fought, but they learned. Difficult was this task of learning to operate such complicated mechanisms as the dictaphone, adding and calculating machines. In future years, however, when you read that so and so has been promoted to chief office boy of the You Make It, We Take IT Firm, you will remember the squirming and prostration he endured while wading through the deep mysteries of 1 plus 1 equal 2—or does it? Bright! New! and Shiny! These words well describe our new kitchens. Here was another opportunity for us who were Learning to Live to take a step forward whether it be Toll House cookies oi dinner for eight. Yes, indeed, these boys most certainly are living to learn. They are members of defense classes which are conducted under the supervision of W. W. Buerckholtz and D. C. Chezem. Here they learn to operate laths, drill-presses, milling machines, shapers, and tool grinders, many of which served the same purpose in the first World War. Some day these boys will be machinists, good machinists who will be able to take their places in the industrial world.

On a certain day in February a strange mammal might have been seen journeying to the tourney at East Chicago. If one looked more closely, he might see that it was actually one small car with assorted arms, legs, and heads hanging out in various places. From said heads came shouts of laughter, scraps of songs, andjJ'yoohoos' to pretty girls. Meanwhile the arms and legs flapped grotesquely in the wind. The obliging driver was, of course, one Dick Acker, who has earned an enviable reputation as being a professional chaffeur. Learning to Live?? Most of us would think this a crude way of retaining life, and by far not the easiest, but these boys have taken from the game the qualities of good sportsmanship and health that will aid them in Learning to Live. After many an onslaught, often we were in doubt as to whether we'd see our pigskin playboys again. However, they returned to give their all that the green and white banner would reign victoriously over all —well, almost all. Another way to help us socially in Living to Learn was our after-school teas. Cheese covered crackers, cookies, and tea (cocoa) were neatly arranged on the table. The most important of these teas were on Christmas and Mother's Day. Often we entertained girls from our neighing schools and were in turn invited to their parties. Although these friendly get-togethers were primarily for a social reason, they taught us the way to a better living.
