THE WENONAH 1942
Winona State Teachers College Winona, MinnesotaForeword
Herein you will find life—the master and the apprentice—the perennial student—the delver into books and living—the one who works and plays. The composite figure of the teacher and the student is this book, for it is not merely words and pictures, but a- symbol of the school that made it. It dramatizes the whole year of achievement and records memorable scenes forever. Think, therefore, of that living spirit that pervades it. Remember that we cannot retrace our steps even if we would and this is a record of all that has gone before. Follow the little Indian maiden who will be your guide throughout the book.
Dedication
”Ask Mr. French.”
It may be a requestfor money on the part of some organizations; it may be an inquiry regarding the talentfor the Community Concert Course; it may he an issue concerning the policy rf the college; it may be a problem involving the binomial theory; or it may be a personal question as to the best path to follow when several are open. Invariably when such questions arise someone says, ”Ask Mr. French.”
Those words are more symbolic than any other of the attitude toward Mr. French, for we have all learned to rely on his sound judgment, his unselfish loyalty to the advancement of the college, his sincere interest in the welfare of the students, his unfaltering integrity. We shall remember him also for his tolerance, his geniality, his service to the whole community -yes, andfor hisfine sense of humor.
It is with genuine appreciation that we dedicate this 1942 Year Book to one whom we shall invariably think of as an inseparablepart of our Alma Mater Mr. French, friend, teacher, counselor, cultured gentleman.
Dr. O. Myking Mehus is a worthy president of a worthy college. His friendly leadership is keeping us on theforward stride. He is vigorous and definite in his views and achieves his goals with a minimum of difficulty. His success is our success and nothing is done without a certain characteristic fellowship and feeling for the best that can come to us. We're glad to have known him.

At last we are members of the upper classes! The junior class, with George Sadowski, president; Mary Melby, vice-president; and Ruth Kjos, secretary-treasurer, are proud to say that their motto can rightly be "variety is the spice of life." Vocal, athletic, instrumental, and dramatic talent are scattered everywhere throughout the class. If you don't believe it, just look at the pictures in the various college clubs! The class advisor is Dr. Murphy.
Members elected to the Representative Council are William Raymond and Albert Posz.

Last year's Freshies—those who managed to withstand the elements— are back for more, a little older, a little wiser, we trust, and much more important than ever.
These are the degree sophomores who will be back next year as juniors in their quest for knowledge. This shows that there is a definite demand for teachers who are better equipped and shows that there is growing interest in teaching as a profession.
Class officers are: president, Herbert Macemon; vice-president, Thelma Bergsgaard; secretary-treasurer, William Marx; Representative Council members, Betty Clements, and Spencer Burrington. Dr. Minne is the class adviser.

Freshman
"Freshman—a college student in his first year," so says Mr. Daniel Webster. Each year comes the freshman class, bright and shining freshman class, ready to begin gaining more knowledge in this institution of higher learning. This group comes into the college as a sort of a new set of representatives of the cities, counties, and states around it. They bring new ideas from their parts of the country, and come here with the purpose of sharing these ideas with the upper classmen and taking from the upper classmen some of the ideas that they in turn have brought.
Sometimes, unfortunately, upper classmen aren't so willing to accept the freshman's ideas. "After all, Johnny's just a freshman. He hasn't been around here as long as we haveand so he doesn't know how things are." However, the freshman thinks, "I shall take that with a grain of salt and let it pass. That guy was a freshman once, too. Maybe I'll think the same of some otherfellow sometime." And so we go on.
There's a bit of an unsettled atmosphere when these so-called T. C. "Greenies" arrive at their destination. Where to go; what to’do; and why are some of the questions that flock into the befuddled mind. Sometimes it takes a year to decide and sometimes a few minutes.

FifthClass
From all part of the continent our new students come. Besides Minnesota, we have representatives from Nebraska, Illinois, North Dakota, Vir ginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, South Dakota,Guatemala, and Costa Rica. Our dear old Alma Mater must have something to draw students from such a variety of places and such long distances.
Freshmen, though new, take an active part in our school's goings-on. One will notice by glancing through our Wenonah that many of the officers of the clubs, participants of dramatic activities, sports events, committees, etc., are freshmen. They may be called "greenies", but they don't take long finding themselves a place in our routine of school life.
More power to you, Freshies!

The Representative Council
The Representative Council, composed of seventeen student and two faculty members is the agency through which the College Association transacts its business. Members are elected from the four classes.
Meetings are held monthly in which discussion of problems pertaining to students and faculty are taken up. Since the faculty and students are organized as separate divisions in the school, known as the Student Association and Faculty, this Representative Council becomes a vital power for cooperation.
Officers for this year havebeen Robert Eastin, president; Bill Raymond, vice-president; Richard Ashley, secretary; Advisors, Miss Grannis and Mr. Boots.
Seated: D. Bauer, R. Ashley, R. Eastin, B. Raymond, A. Me Cutchan. Standing: Miss Grannis, A. Posz, H. Maceman, R. Kjos, M. J. Martin, L. Halstenrud, R. Gast, G. Sadowski, E. Brandt, S. Burrington, Mr. Boots.Kappa Delta Pi
Although members of this national honor society in education must have maintained a scholastic average of 1.70, participated in at least two extra-curricular activities, and have completed 28 hours of college work, they still have time for their share of good times.
The Gamma Tau Chapter of this college holds monthly meetings at which persons prominent in education address the club and at which student discussions are fostered. Because the Greek letters Kappa, Delta and Pi embody three great ideals, those of knowledge, duty and power, that is the aim of the organization.
This year Charles Balcer as delegate attended the annual meeting of the National Education Association at San Francisco, California.
Officers are: Charles Balcer, president; Vivian Pederson, vice-president; Orville Renslo, secretary; Fern McKnight, treasurer; Evelyn Anderson, historian; Pearl Nipp, reporter; and Mr. Simmers, adviser.
Purple Key
Membership in Purple Key is sought as the highest honor at the college. Membership in theclub is based upon excellent scholarship, character and helpful participation in extra-curricular activities. It is awarded annually to those ten members who show the greatest promise of fulfilling the ideals in the educational field.
Purple is the color of royalty, symbolic of honor, and signifies these things in members of this purely honorary society, which has no officers and holds no meetings.
Seated: L. Halstenrud, M. J. Martin, V. Pederson, P. Nipp, B. Kissling, L. Johnson. Standing: F. McKnight, Mr. Simmers, L. King, O. Renslo, C. Balcer, D. Bredeson, E. L. Russell, E. Anderson.

After our studious, hard working masters of the paper publishing art have worked hours, days—nay, even weeks on the paper, we can think of nothing more to say than that. We have to hand it to them, they put out a right smart paper.

Uncle Sam, defense work, injuries, and what have you, all lent a hand in making Coach Jackson's hair become sparser last fall. Such stalwarts as Ted Siirila, Don McConochie and Pete Glover failed to return to school, thus dimming the flickering glow Mr. Jackson had for a successful season.
St. Marys caught the Warriors early in the season, and administered a two touchdown licking. River Falls followed suit with a heart-breaking 7-3 triumph. Bemidji doesn't know what it is to be defeated at home, but the Beavers needed everything they had to eke out a win. St. Cloud, conference champs, proved their right to that claim by overpowering the Peds after an injury forced Gordon Hansen out early in the game.
Duluth ran into a revived and revamped Warrior eleven to receive a three touchdown whipping. Mankato and Winona fought to a scoreless tie in the mud and cold at the Homecoming Game.
Succeeding Captain Joe Flynn, the Warriors elected co-captains for next year. Gordon Hansen of Little Fork and Sylvester Fritz of Dodge Center will lead the charge, shoulder to shoulder, from their backfield positions.
So long to Bob Eastin, Eldon Brandt, Joe Clawson, Chuck Sulack, Lloyd Schmidt, and Ronnie Johnson who should be congratulated for the swell work the last four years. May those succeeding you avenge past defeats and recall your days of triumph!

This year's baseball team ran into hard luck after its close opening game with Luther. Losing regulars like Captains Brandt and Eastin through teaching positions, the Ped Nine dropped games to La Crosse and a second one to Luther. Weak in its pitching staff, and with little defensive strength at all in the outfield, the Warriors had little chance to show what they really could do.
Newcomers who showed great possibilities for a strong team next year are Qualy at second, Kannel at first, Breckner and Klemm in the outfield, and Bentrup pitching.
Lettermen who showed the spark of last year were Brandt, Eastin, Bolkom, Johnson, and McConochie.

Highlights of the W. S. T. C. basketball season were the winning of the conference scoring title by Charles Duncanson, and the upsetting of the unbeaten Bemidji Beavers, conference champs, 45-35 and the powerful La Crosse Teachers, 34-31.
In December the Peds traveled to Missouri losing a 61-41 fire wagon game to Augustana of Rock Island, but winning 47-45 over Culver-Stockton, champions of the Missouri Teachers League, with a superlative last quarter rally.
Duncanson and Foss, mainstays of the '41 -'42 quint will be lost through graduation, but with McGrew, Klemm, Reps, Kannel, and Raymond available for next year, T. C.'s basketball future looks bright.

Track
The loss of Captain Jack Kalbrenner, Captain-elect John Carlson, Ted Siirila, Bucky Walters, and Pat Einhorn left Coach Galligan quite a hole to fill as far as track was concerned. Although this was hard to do, newcomers and the veterans from last year did a very fine job. The veterans back were Bob Novotny in the discus, shot put, high hurdles and high jump; DeLano in the discus and shot put, Clawson in distances; Montgomery in the dashes.
Newcomers who showed great possibilities and proved valuable point getters were Schwab in the distances; Young in the dashes; Anderson in the dashes; and Fox in the high jump.

Coach Raymond, taking over Dr. Biesanz's place, was faced with the problem of building a strong squad from few, but enthusiastic, aspirants. Those returning from last year's competiton were Raymond and Murbach. Newcomers who proved helpful were Simon, Burleigh, Stahmann, and Hoffman.
A match with Luther opened the season. Other matches played were with La Crosse, Eau Claire, and St. Marys.
Coach Kaymond, C. Simon, J. Hoffman, J. Stahmann, W. Murbach, B. Lang, H. Burleigh, B. Raymond.Intramurals
Interest in intramurals among the men students of the college ran especially high this year. Chuck Baker's Redskins proved themselves championship calibre in basketball, but not after running into trouble with Montgomery's and Clawson's teams. Dick Traxler's volleyball team was easily the head of the field. Lloyd Lubitz subdued James Zimdars in the evenlymatched ping-pong finals.
This year was instituted intramurals between T. C. and St. Marys. Games were played in basketball, volleyball and ping-pong.
Ping pong: Lloyd Lubitz, James Zimdars. Basketball: Capt. Baloer, B. Novotny, L. Pederson. Volleyball: G. Hoesley, L. Carpenter, Capt. Traxler, B. Montgomery, (not present when picture was taken: E. Brandt, .1. Hornola, J. Heppner, B. Fox, G. Mason).Women's Physical Education Club
The membership of this club is composed of all women majoring or minoring in physical education. Their purpose is to work together to raise the standards and ideals in physical education. Meetings are held once a month at which activities are both social and educational. They sell candy at the basketball games and sell buttons at Homecoming in order to raise funds for the year's activities.
Officers for this year were Leona Halstenrud, president; Doris Johnson, vice-president; Stella Harris, secretary-treasurer; Miss Talbot and Miss Andrews, advisers.
Intramural Board
The purpose of this group is to set up an intramural program of various sports which will provide for a varied avtivity program for all the men of the student body. It is a group made up of the captain of the basketball team, a representative for each class, and the director of athletics.
Members of the board this year were basketball captain, Charles Duncanson; senior, Eldon Brandt; junior, Alden Knatterud; sophomore, Kenneth Seeling; freshman, Maurice McGrew adviser. Dr. Galligan.

£ 111»"“The Song of
To a famous hall of learning
In the middle of the valley
Where were many learned teachers, Who well taught the many students, Came the beautiful Winonis Came to learn the why and wherefore.
Description of Winonis
She was dressed in shirt of sharkskin
White and sleek and trimmed with frat pin.
She wore moccasins of buckskin;
Round her neck were, brightly hanging.
Beads of corn and ropes of sponges.
And when the winter snows did glisten
Thru' the valleys, o'er the hilltops
Went her thoughts to Lake Winona, Went her thoughts to skiing, skating; And she donned her winter garments—
Dressed herself in colored 'kerchief.
Red and blue and fringed with tassels; Clad herself in sporty snow suit.
Trimmed with fur all white and fluffy;
On her hands put bright red mittens
Thick with yarn and flower-embroidered; On her feet pulled rugged ski boots.
Strong and heavy calf-skin ski boots.
Laden down with skiis and ski poles
Trudged Winonis to the foothills. One thing only mars the picture—
Ewa-yea! There's none to see her!
Friends of Winonis
By the doors of Gitchee Girlee
On the Steps of Shepard Ha lee
Stood the Brave of blonde Lorrainis, Roommate of Irene, Lorrainis.
Dark before him rose the prospect
That of leaving dear Lorrainis,
Leaving for a week, Lorrainis!
Bright before him shone her blonde hair.
Hair with lovely ringlets on it.
Hair with moonbeams shining on it.
Ewa-yea! She's gone! Doggone it!
In his Lodge beside a Fifth Street, Close beside a little clearing.
Sat a young man sad and lonely.
Sad and lonely was the Lodger;
Dim and low his light was shining;
And the young man tried to study.
Tried to concentrate on learning.
But Young Mauree's heart kept turning
To the maiden Tisch-a-ha-ee,
To the Moree, Tisch-a-ha-ee.
Ewa-Yea! He can not study!
Of Their Dancing at the Promnus
Hear the tale of Oh-Bug-Jitterus
And his partner. Lithe Winonis,
Of their dancing at Spring Promnus
Of their dancing a solemn measure.
Very slow in step and gesture.
In and out among the dancers.
Whirling, jiving around in circles
Eddying 'round and 'round the dance floor
Till the breeze went whirling with them.
On they sped with frenzied gestures.
He stamped on the floor and tossed her
Wildly in the air above him.
And finishing, sat down laughing
There among the guests assembled.
Thus Lithe Winonis and Oh-Bug-Jitterus
Jumped and jived at the Spring Promnus, The Great Feast at Morey Hallee
When the evening meal was ready
After pause before the battle
When the grub had been divided.
Both the Lodgers and the Hallers
Spring from 'round about the table
Winonis”
Seized upon the choicest portions. Seized upon the favored meatballs. Grabbed the brimming cups of coffee. Grasped the bread and the potatoes. And then downed the tender morsels. Then when they had all been feted With the birthday songs and cupcakes. All the diners they departed To their studies and their slumbers— To their sleepy beds most tumbled. Ewa-yea! You would-be Owlets!
The Greaf Moving
Sing the song of the great moving. The great moving at the West Lodge, At the home of many warriors. When the great wind blew upon it, Blew upon it and made havoc
In the room of the preceptor. All the lodgers they did slumber 'Cept the warriors' mighty chieftan. Who was gone when the great moving Came to the great lodge of Warriors. Now all else was peace and quiet And no one was stirring in it. When the room began a-twirling. When the chairs began a-swirling. When the bed began a-jumping, The table began a-quaking. And the walls began a-shaking. Then began a gentle rising. Chairs and bed began a-rising. Slowly through the air ascending. Till they rested on the shingles. Lo! The room below was empty. And left only were the four walls, Only bare and empty four walls. Then all else was peace and quiet; Everyone was soundly sleeping
'Cept the chieftan of the West Lodge, Who was gone when the great moving Came to the great lodge of warriors.
The Wooing of Winonis
By the shores of Lake Winona, Where the racing boats go flying. Dear Winonis loved to linger
With her lover 'neath the heaven. Wander down to Lake Winona. Wander down and gaze upon them. For we've tickets to the races
'Neath that dark and star-lit sky. They are standing on the lake shore. Underneath the quaking aspen. When he takes her hand quite lightly And it trembles 'ere so slightly. Then he kisses her so sweetly; And no boats cares she to see. Now she does not move a muscle— Yi! She's frozen! Ewa-yea!
What Winonis Learned at Tee See Many things the Tee See taught her
Of the things there are in college— Gave her friends like Dr. Murphy, Gave her flowers in a classroom. Played her music on the organ. Sang her songs by student chorus. Taught her how to use phonetics. Showed her plays by college players. Gave her dances gay with music. Here she met the Costa Ricans, Met as well the Guatemalans. And the spirit of the Warriors, As they won or lost a battle. Was the spirit of the scholars. As they fought for Student Union. But best of all the things it taught her Was the joy and art of living.
Wenonah An Da Floot Player
An adaptation of H. Duel's HYSTERICAL TRAGEDY (Wenonah was the grate ant of Winonis)
Ten years passes by. Den Wenonah speaks again. "Sluggsie," she says, "what are we waitin' for?"
"I'll see papa tomorrow," says Sluggsie more simply than before.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, dere lived on da banks of da Mississlippi River two Indian tribals. Dese Indians are just ordinary Indians like you see any day, anywhere, reekin' out a persistence by huntin' and fishin' like any Other Indians. However-da-less, dey are not in da most friendly to each other at all. Ya see, it's dis way. Da Indians of da tribal dat lives in da hill are all da time tootin' dere floots. Every night dey gadder around da fire and roll off a couple of Beathoven sumfunnies.
Now ya might tink dat dis little idem is unconsequenchable, but it gripes da tribal in da valley. Dey don't go in fer dat long hair stuff cause day are all drummer boys. So every nite when da high-flootin' flooters are tootin' on the hill, da drummers go to beatin' out a beastly rithem on da drums. Well, dese two tribals has got it bad, and it ain't good when dey both go into composition against each other.
Dis is da destateable situashun dat faces Wenonah, da daughter of da drummer chief, as one day she wonders in da woods to convoise with da boidies and da poisíes like all Indian babes do. She rushes thru her convoisin' in a hurry and is gazin' at her own face in a burbling brook, when very sudden-like she toins around and with-holds a strange slug standin' besides her and smilin' ingratiably to her,
"Who are you?" she requires, pretendin' to be frightful, like all Indian babes should.
"Sluggsie's da name," he replies, "Sluggsie DuLuth."
"Sluggsie DuLuth," she echoes.
"Yeah, Sluggsie DuLuth," he re-echoes.
"Why you must be da sun of da hill tribal chief," she exclaims, becoming very intensely.
"D very same, but don't hold dat agin me," says he, smilin' tenderly in her direction. "And yer da daughter of da drummer chief."
Den dey look at each odder very tenderly for a long time. Den dey looks at each odder some more 'til it's beginnin' to get dark.
"Sluggsie," says Wenonah, "I gotta scram back before papa discovers my abscess."
"Me likewise," says Sluggsie, "but I'll meet ya here tomorrow wid my floot."
An dat's how it started.
Every day aiter dat dey sneaks out in da woods wid dere instruments and sits dere by da hour boatin' da drum and tootin' da floot for each odder. And dere mutual regard for each odder grows wid increasable intensinus.
A year passes, den Wenonah speaks, "Sluggsie, wouldn't it be wondersome if bode of our tribals would play together like we do?"
Sluggsie tinks for a moment. He knows v/hat she is drivin' at. He isn't born yesterday. (Nope, he's thirty-one years old.) "I'll see papa tomorrow," he says simply.
Ten years passes by. Wenonah is beginnin' to get impatient at dis intermittent delay. "Sluggsie," she says.
He is beginning to wear down under dis constant naggin'. "I'll see papa tomorrow."
Da next day Sluggsie approaches his papa with dejectable slowness. "Papa," he says, "I wish to git married. I have got a finance which I have loved expressibly for twenty-one years."
"I don't want you to rush into anything, son," says papa. "Who is dis potato?"
Den Sluggsie makes his concession and papa shouts, "I shall never allow yer betrothalment to a drummer, never!"
Sluggsie wilts at dis. Dis is da anticipatable situashun he had expected. Wid led in his heart he sneaks away to escape his papa's rash. Den he hurries to where Wenonah is waitin', only to find her enveloped in tears. Her papa, too, has revolted at da idea dat his little prairie flower, da crabapple of his eye, should despite his authority. Sluggsie is heartbroken. Den for da first time in twenty-one years he takes her by da hand, calloused from years of unceaseable drummin'. Den he stiffens. Dis coitenly is an unpredictability. Papa is right. He can never marry a babe wid hands like dese. It is unconsequenchable. Hasn't nobody told dis poor potato about "Hansy Pansy," da loshun dat makes hands six or seven shades softer dan a schule goil's complexshun? He drops her hand and stands der simply. Wenonah coils, den she recoils, when she sees his retenshments. Dis can't be! Sluggsie unfaithful to her. It is otjtragin'. She is disgraceable. No longer can she face her tribal. She ^esperatable and tries to intimate him wid threats
"When yer tribal finds dis out dey will put da heat on ya," she says wid mallets in her voice.
"It ain't da heat, it's da humility," says Sluggsie pridefully, as he cinders off, leavin' dat poor babe to her mornings
Dis is da last straw. No longer can she endurin' da strain. She must end it all. Wid dejectable slowness she drags her body up da inclimation of Made-in-Rock. When she reaches da somewhat she stands dere chantin' her death barge. Then her poor breakable spirit plunges into da chasm below.
Da moral of the story being; If ya want ta drum up a husband, don't drum up nothin' else.
SERENADE
Like crystal pellets on a window pane. This music shines as the winter rain.
Ivory keys and silken strings
Flee through the song on light bird-wings.
The sweep of a bow and a ray of the sun Have qualities common to each as to one.
Meltingly mellow this melody makes Notes in the star-shapes of tiny snowflakes.
So seldom a serenade sings such a song— A rhyme and a rhapsody ringing along.
—Helen Parker.INDIAN SILHOUETTE
Jet black tepee—moon a dim lamp, Ebony water—earth dew damp.
Foot falls silent as the dead leaves fall. Stillness broken by a nighbird call.
Fire-kissed wigwam—sun for a flame. Gold touched river, brave hunting game. Canoe paddle dipping like a fish in the sun. Bow and arrow flashing—'ere Indian Summer's done.
—D. R. Nolte.TO A SPARROW
Ah look! A sparrow sits upon the ground, A shabby mite of fluff and down. With bead-like eyes and far spread tail And spindle legs to bounce and sail. His wings are folded to his sides.
And if within his eyes I'd see
The vision that propels his soul
It could not far from my thoughts be.
He nibbles at an orange peel
That came aside from hasty meal.
Then lazily he stalks away
With latent thoughts of life and day. I feel he must have soul and pride. When he and I live side by side.
SPRING NIGHT
White the stars of spring soft as cotton down, blown aloft.
Silver moonlight ring like an angle crown lately doffed.
Head beneath its wing chirps a birdling brown, dreaming soft.
Fragrant night in spring with your silver crown, beaming soft.
—Helen Parker.FOG
Fog envelopes me; Smothering, Stifling. My raiment is limp. My being is saturated. This, my soul, is fog.
Then, as the fog lifts and the smouldering sun Bursts into flame. My spirits soar and go my way; Soothed, Comforted, Fog forgotten.
—D. R. Nolte.WOULD THAT I—
Would that I possessed the eyes
To see what in the future lies
To see what fate has held in store
What hovers o'er my humble door.
Would that I could comprehend
What obstacles I must transcend
What path would be the best for me
To lead me into ecstacy.
But, if t'was my power to perceive
To have foresight of each new eve
My life would be an empty thing
With nothing left for wondering.
—R. Foss. —R. Foss.

WINONIS LEARNS ABOUT COLUMBUMBUS'S DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
Many moons ago before "Deep in the Heart of Texas" was popular, there lived in a fair land across the sea a little boy named Christopher Columbumbus. Here he sat on a dike twiddling his toes in the water until one day he decided to discover America. So he went to the steamship office and bought a ticket for America. When he was on the boat the regular captain decided to take a defense job, so Columbumbus was elected captain. Columbumbus had not been on the sea many hours when his ship was attacked by a submarine. There was a hard fight but Christopher, with the aid of his machine guns, beat off the attackers. Many times his crew wished to turn back but Columbumbus always said "Steam on." Finally, Christopher did see a light. The entire crew was disappointed when they discovered it was only a neon coke sign on the back of a whale.
After many weary hours on sea, they got their first glimpse of America. Imagine Christopher's disappointment when he found that America had already been discovered by some "Injuns." Columbumbus wished to take the next clipper home, but the Injuns persuaded him to stay for a time. The Big Chief for many moons now was a brave named Franklin. His squaw, Eleanor, loved to "wahoo" over the radio. She also had a newspaper column called "My Moon." They had many papooses. All these things served to keep Eleanor on the run.
Columbumbus's first year in America was, to say
the least, exciting. An election to elect a new Big Chief was being held. The Republican Injuns were "cussing" the Democrat Injuns, and the Democrats told them to go chew on a buffalo hide. The laboring Injuns were going to it.
John "Big Bushy Eyebrows" said it was his turn to be the Head, but oldGreen Feather from another union said John wasn't worth the powder to blow him to the hapy hunting grounds. Then a young Injun who flew across the ocean one day said the whole tribe would be sorry if they didn't build a wall around the camp and throw the key away. So some of his followers started to build the wall, but after a while someone happened to think that they would have to build it clear up to heaven to keep the planes from flying over it, so they quit. Also, some weren't quite sure of the exact location of heaven, and were afraid they might get the partition in the wrong place.
Columbumbus was beginning to get real disgusted with the whole tribe when something unexpected happened. Some yellow Injuns from another tribe attacked some American Injuns at the same time their Big Chief was smoking the peace-pipe with Franklin. This action was unequaled as far as bad manners go. Even Squaw Emily Post considered it worse than spilling cream on the table cloth. It made all the American Injuns madder than wildcats. All internal fist fights and wrestling matches were postponed for the duration. Half the Injuns stayed in camp and worked like beavers. The other half got out their bows and arrows, plus a few thousand airplanes and machine guns. Columbumbus said he wanted to help win the war, so Franklin made him an airraid warden and director of rubber horse-shoe rationing. With the valuable help they couldn't lose and they didn't!
POW
Lament of a freshman boy.
Flunk! Flunk! Flunk!
On the pale white cards I see. And I would that dare to utter The thoughts that arise in me!
Yet the stately A's go on To the students who need them not. And oh for a look at a far off B, But only E's are my lot!
Oh, well for the one with the apple; And the girl with the lovely form; And well for they who go to chapel; And those who behave at the dorm.
Flunk! Flunk! Flunk!
(I only take three courses you see)
And my poor future has certainly sunk! It's the Army or Navy for me.
As others see us: Dear Annual Staff: Order an extra million copies. Want to prove to my men that everything isn't so good in the U. S. A. either. General MacArthur.

October 4, Rang in late after the dance tonight. Thought Miss Richards would understand seeing it was Faculty Reception, but she didn't! Said I wasn't playing the game, and all the time I thought I was being a good sport!
October 22,
"01' Man River" just keeps rollin' along through my head. Don't see why my vocal cords couldn't have been tuned up like Robeson's. And he was so big what a blocker he must have been in football
October 31, Rain put out the Homecoming bonfire tonight But "Quality Street" wasn't dampened by it. I liked the old maids' bobbing bonnets.

Well, Prom's history already. Wish it could have gone on forever, but it's gone with the wind. Decorations were gorgeous with that old southern colonial stuff. Almost mistook myself for Scarlett O'Hara when leaned against that big potch pillar.
May 30,
In just one week I'll be among the "alumni" of good old T. C. Must get busy and have one grand and glorious week with ail the seniors. It seems funny to think that this is the last time we'll all ever be together. We've had four grand years, with no regrets. Wish it was only starting, instead of ending.
