ÍFíW you forget us? Not while the summer sun Pours gold on Garvin Heights at noon and brushes in Deft purple shadows on high Sugar Loaf at eve, Then tints the sky beyond with lilac^ rose, and lavender. The while soft chimes sing hymns from out a red-roofed church.

Will you forget us? Not when winter’s snow

Half hides the faces of the cliffs but leaves revealed The eternal strength and stableness of hills.

The grace of willows over ice, the faithfulness

Of oaks that hold their last-year’s leaves.

Will you forget us? Nay, that cannot he; For when you think of all the things that were

And are à part of life with us, then by their continued tokens

You will remember us, as steadfast as the seasons.

Like them a faithful portion of life’s recurring round.

—W. E. Boots

We do not know them all personally, and they do not know us, but one thing we have in common—we have all attended Winona State Teachers College. Some of them were teachers when Uncle Sam called them, and others left school to answer the call to arms. In memory of those who have given their lives, and to express our gratitude to those gallant men and women who are serving on the battle fronts of the world, in order that we may continue to prepare for a better future, we dedicate this yearbook to our alumni and students in the service.

A teachers' college is like a fabric composed of rich and varied strands. Leadership, sincerity, loyalty, understanding, friendship, and a sense of humor are some of the threads woven into the whole. The warp is the combination of those traits as found in our instructors of would-be teachers.

A genuine teacher challenges and guides us over the past and into the future. Just such a leader is one whose clear analysis of world events, whose understanding of human nature, andwhose awareness of world problems has made his classes of definite and lasting value to all. His rich background in history, literature, and other cultural fields are woven into ideals, interests, and problems that incite independent thinking and a consciousness of theworld in which we move. Such leadership grows and becomes enriched with the years, and thus we proudly dedicate this book to Mr. F. A. Jederman, a vital part of the warp that makes a rich fabric.

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" is the object of making such an annual. To strive to do the best in all the fields of endeavor, as in literature, art, history, activities, and all-around fun. To seek out truth, beauty, and belief in all that our profession stands for.

To find the most in the pictures, the studies, the work, the social gatherings, the understanding of educational problems, and the working of democracy in our school. Not to yield any memories of the campus, personnel, friendship, ambitions, high ideals, fine attitudes, and the school spirit. What one finds in this book has been done with that in mind, and a challenge is sent to those who still remain—to carry on the traditions and to build upon them a better world within our college.

À thing of beauty is a joy forever Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us; and a sleep

Full of stveet dreams, and a health, and quiet breathing.

John Keats

The year’s at the spring

The lark’s on the wing; The day’s at the morn;

The snail’s on the thorn;

Morning’s at seven;

God’s in His heaven

The hillside’s dew-pearled;

All’s right with the world!

Robert Browning

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time.

Let us, then, be up and doing.

With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing.

Learn to labor and to ivait.

Henry Longfellow

]Vhen / would know thee my thought looks Upon thy well-made choice of friends and books; Then do I love thee, and behold thy ends In making thy friends books, and thy books friends, Ben Johnson

There is a destiny that makes us brothers.

None goes his way alone; All that is sent into the lives of others Comes back into our own.

Markham

With my head to the winds, and below me Thy lake with its thousand rills, / watch from my rock-walls above thee.

Thou City of Beautiful Hills.

"He who, from zone to zone Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that we must tread alone Will lead my steps aright."

It takes a great deal of understanding and patience to guide a student's steps aright; when the leading must be done for future teachers, a lasting, valuable hand must be given. Those, who are most worthwhile, are those who extend a helping hand. They give their theories, their philosophy, their ideals, their attitudes that go to mold the mind into a way of richest value. That is what describes our present faculty.

Here s a bit of foreshadowing to all soon-to-be juniors. You will be given your first taste of practice teaching, no doubt. You will know what it is like to tread on underclassmen. You will look at everything with an air of indifference, knowing that in a year, you will wield the gavel in all things. Yes, the junior is a necessary step connecting the sophomore year with the senior year.

Presided over by Katharine Grimm, the Junior Class has been living in expectation of a glorious next year, when it will be a senior class. And while doing so, it hasn't been wasting time. Attesting to that fact are the president and other officers, Elizabeth Harper, vice-president; Dagny Mindrum, secretary treasurer; Barbara Somers and Lenore Bredeson, Representative Council members; and Mr. Jackson, adviser.

We could start it on a small scale, and gradually add to the set up." Yes, it is here that one may hear "the voices of students speak."

Hands that hold the Palettes

It has been said, "Art for Art's Sake." But what should be said is, "Art for everyone else's sake." Propelled by Lois Sykes as president and Miss Murray as adviser, the Art Club has become the traditional "help-all" society. Some of the many activities in which this club functions are taking complete charge of the Prom, exhibiting original sketches and hand paintings, poster making for various magazines, making additions to our jeep, painting the Christmas window, and taking charge of the bulletin board. Awards in the form of pins and guards are presented at the end of the year to those who have earned five or more points.

Human Sparkplugs

Vim, vigor, and vitality—the Die-No-Mo-ers have them all! Being the pep organization of the college, this club always seems to be backing something. One of their main projects is the presentation of the annual Die-No-Mo show. Lenore Bredeson dreamed up the current play, "Camelia Twitch Goes to Abnormal." Student written, directed, and presented, this show has never failed to attract many outsiders.

Month by month descriptions

"And furthermore, if those stories don't make the deadline, there will be plenty of cubs burning the midnight oil!" "We can't run an editorial like this. It lack.s general interest."

And so the chatter goes in the publications room once a month as the journalists attempt to beat the deadline and put the Winonan to bed. Editor Alverna Sprick, working under the never-faltering eye of adviser Dr. Murphy, keeps one eye on business manager, Shirley Olson, and the other on the four page editors.

who in turn strike up acquaintance with the cubs. Page editors are Charlotte Erwin, front page; Ruth Francis, editorials; Ruth Kottschade, service news; and Gerry Ryberg, sports. Mary Meier is in charge of circulation. Having received a first class rating from the National Scholastic Press Association annually in the past, the paper is constantly undergoing new ideas and treatment for its improvement. Copies are sent to all students and alumni in the service as well as to all members of the Alumni Society.

give yearly summary

^^What'il we do now?'' seems to be the usual question asked by Wenonah staff members. Negative replies of cover companies to their requests prompt this question, and delay in receiving limited film likewise brings forth the "What'll we do now?" question. But even these days of rationing (both of materials and of time) can't get the Wenonah staff down. There's always some solution.

Dr. Coppock generously has given many of his few spare hours to arrange the different clubs and photograph the smiles. He deserves a medal for his patience. When it comes to advice and encouragement. Dr. Murphy draws

no lines. She has listened to many a tale of woe from staff members. The big chiefs of the Wenonah are co-editors Lorraine Casby and Marie Croonquist. But their labors would be fruitless were it not for Florence Walch. You see, Flo is the business manager and also the indispensable accountant. Carrol DeWald heads the art staff, and literary editor is Alverna Sprick. Sports editor Dorothy Engel and head typist Eleanor Kugler also assume their positions on the Wenonah staff. Jean LeMay is in charge of snapshots, Ruth Kottschade tops the characterization committee, Gerry Ryberg heads the photography staff, and Ethel Turner is chairman of general service.

77zey shall have music wherever they go

"Music it was we brought from heaven

On an angel's breath so pure—"

These thrilling words brought to a climax another year of Mendelssohn Club activities whichincluded try-outs, the initiation banquet, the Christmas Candlelight Service, the tour, and the annual spring concert and banquet.

The 1944-45 officers were president, Mary Marie Collins; vice-president, Gladys Anderson; recording secretary, Florence Walch; corresponding secretary, Ethel Turner; treasurer, Katharine Grimm, and librarians, Judy Ferdinandsen, Rae Maren Olson, and Edith Zamboni.

To Mr. Grimm, the conductor, and to Miss Bard, the accompanist, goes much of the credit for bringing forth a successful year of enjoyable work.

An organization which provides an opportun1ty for music majors and minors to work and play together. Mason Music Club is composed of students with both vocal and instrumental talent. The social highlight of their year is the spring picnic.

Officers of the club, which holds monthly meetings, are: Dorothy Wildgrube, president; Ethel Turner, vice-president; Rae Maren Olson, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Grimm is the club adviser.

They who enact the lives of others

With the Wenonah Players it's "On stage, everyone!"—be they the actors on the stage, or the technicians behind the curtain. Whatever their roles may be, these members play their parts according to the high standards set by the club. Ever on the job, the Players periodically come through with their finished productions. During the Homecoming celebration they brought forth an array of costumes as they enacted a combined style showand historical sketch of years gone by. It is impossible for any TC-er to forget their impressive traditional Christmas presentation "Why the Chimes Rang." With "Tomorrow the World" as their spring play, many future world prob-

lems were brought to the surface. In addition,, three one-act plays, given by the acting class, were produced by the club.

Membership is based upon interest and ability in dramatic work; and to those who have contributed much to maintain the high standard of the club. Guard memberships are awarded by means of a point system.

Shirley Olson fills the presidency, and working under her leadership are; Lenore Bredeson, vice-president; Mary Meier, treasurer; Elizabeth Harper, recoro'ing secretary; and Shirley Darrow, corresponding secretary. Miss Magnus is the faculty adviser.

We Wonder Why

For the first year made up of all girls, the Science Club meetings are devoted to magic, studies of astronomy and geology, use of mothemoticol quizes, and the carrying on of experiments in all fields of science. Dynamic, energetic living is its source of power. Officers of the club include: Audrey Carothers, president; Izella Pearson, vice-president; Ethel Turner, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Coppock is adviser of the club.

Jive Queens

Shortage of men never kept any good T. C. women down, so they proved their point by organizing an allgirl swing band, namely the Campus Co-eds. Under the direction of Gladys Anderson, the girls are equally talented in sending forth sweet as well as a bit of solid swing. Not only did the Co-eds provide music for college social events anddances during the year, but they also served as pep band for school basketball games.

On the Air

They're "on t*ie air" every Wednesday over KWNO with their "Quarter Hour on the Campus" program. Open to all those who are seriously interested in the production of radio programs, the Radio Workshop provides opportunities for announcing, acting, directing sound effects, and often the writing of scripts. Mary Meier presides as president and is assisted by vicepresident Lenore Bredeson and secretary-treasurer Esther Ask. The club adviser is Miss Magnus.

The U. S. A. in general may say Who's Who, and have quite a few stodgy staid famous people in mind, but T. C. gives them competition with thei r own version of Who's Who—this time in American Colleges and Universities. Old hands in this group are Ruth (Fargo) Cast, Dorothy ("Teach") Engel, and Marie (Ashley) Croonquist. New members as of 1945 include

Problem Solvers

It is a known fact that there is "strength in unity", and what better union can there be than that of a demoerotic nature—hence we have the Men's Advisory Council. This group seeks to unite all the boys of the college. The council provides a solution to many of the problems presented to it; and also provides for social gatherings for the male students. Even though it is a small organization, these fellows helped sponsor an allcollege party last fall. Maybe they don't say it in so many words, but the motto of the Council seems to be, "You know, we fellows have to stick together."

Our Joint Committees Work

By overseeing the activities of homecoming, the M. E. A. reunion, the Southeast Division dinner, and the Alumni banquet in June, the Alumni Relations Committee keeps strong the link between Winona State Teachers College and its alumni. It is through the efforts of this committee that the alumni have their chances for reunions.

Have you ever wondered what becomes of the sum extracted from you at régistration time for your activity fee? Well, if you have any doubts about your money being spent wisely, consult with the Finance Committee. For its job is to supervise the activity fund and other special expenditures.

''Gee, I sure had fun at the parties this year; I wonder who in the world worked out all the arrangements." Look no farther—for it is the Social Committee who has general oversight of parties and receptions, (all except homecoming), appointment of the "Prom" committee preparation of annual social calendar, and oversight of the college club room.

First row: Miss Davis, Kugler, Miss Schwable. Second row: Miss Bard, Walch, Dr. MacDonald, R. Olson, Miss Richards.

For Well-Rounded Program

"Any Bonds Today" would be an appropriate theme for the Service Record Commit-tee. It is their responsibility to sponsor monthly stamp rallies, and in general to supervise the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. They also keep a record of former students who are in the service, make additions to the Service Flag, and supervise all war activities at the college.

As overseers of all chapel programs, we have the Assembly and Public Functions Committee. This group has been blessed with a special talent for scheduling programs and making the yearly chapel calendar. In seeing that all events in the auditorium run off smoothly, this committee has likewise proved its worth.

You know, after reading this bulletin about kindergarten teachers IVe almost decided to become one. Who published the bulletin? Why, the Public Relations Committee of W. S. T. C. They also supervise the WINONAN, general college publicity, furnish staff addresses and student entertainment, judge contests, supervise field trips, and do follow up work for good will.

The mists in the depths of the crystal ball slowly clear, and as we of '45 sit with bated breath, the year 1955 comes into view with the nudging of the crystal ball, ouija board, and tea leaves. A signpost appears with the name "Zerona" on it—evidently we'll meet some of our friends here.

As we look down the street our attention is caught by a figure gesturing violently on a neat doorstep—closer inspection reveals Marie Ashley (nee Croonquist) deep in an argument with the man from Acme Infant Laundry. Fro m the sound of things Baby Ashley will be lacking in underpinnings for a few days.

In the business section we find Ruth Gast's and Dorothy Engel's Phy Ed Emporium, where a great build up for a Physical break down is given in one hundred and ninety nine wearing lessons. ( If you last that long.)

Still hard at the postoffice after years of experience is Flo Walch, who is the active postmistress of our little town.

As we pass the school building we peek in the office and find superintendent of Schools Audrey MacGregor (nee Carothers) and Princi pal Albert Schwabe, arguing the merits of their three respective red headed (or should we say auburn?) children who constitute discipline prob'lems therein; i. e. red heads plus discipline equals temper.

How to shake artistically in the Samba and assorted dances is being taught by Moonyeen Parker at her Elite Dancing School, with Izella Pearson, and Mary Jacobs, as able assistants.

"Bunnies Babies," the famousall gal orch estra, with Jean LeMay at the piano, and Bunny at the baton waving, are being featured at the local theatre after a continental run in which they did have a head start.

"The Figure" alias Mary Marie Collins, we find modeling the latest in sweaters at the town's social affairs for sweater women in 19 55, as in 1945, are and were always, seen in the best places.

On billboards about the town we see adver tisements of the Modern Art School of Lois Sykes and Clara Larson. Business is booming but interpreters of recent pieces are needed badly. All applicants who pass the Abnormal Art Appreciation test may call Walnut 3089.

Busily revising curriculum in Zerona Coll ege on the Narrow Fields interpretation is Lorraine Casby, Ph. D., who is a graduate of Nebraska University as well as our AlmaMater. A new theory of irrelativity is being expounded daily via soapbox by Ethel Quast, which is giving Einstein some bad moments, comparable to Ethel's the last time she fell off her soap box.

Becky Huntley and Jeanette Hovden are hard at work dispensing advice to the lovelorn, along with a side line of soothing syrup, at a d rive in on Walnut Street Service while you wait. Shadeside Rest Home for weary felines is proving profitable for Ruth Kottschade and Virginia Richter. Envious competitors speak slightingly of the catnip every Thursday which brings so many customers and sends them away satisfied. Indeed, the felines have spoken so highly of the place, they are now bringing their owners and the venture is getting larger all the time.

Vi Fehrman we find selling popcorn, nylons and Fuller Brushes, and in her off moments soaking her feet, for her arches have fallen positively inches since she first began her career. Doors are being slammed harder all the time, as she can show by reliable statistics.

Marie Jederman we find complacently teaching A B C's to her grandson, F. A.; also, while grandpa gives with snappy excerpts from Gibbons "Decline and Fall."

The light in the crystal slowly gives way and we find ourselves back in the darkness of the present, with great visions of the future. Pardon us while we retrieve our nickels from our hepped up crystal ball. Any resemblance to the future, the past, or the present, is purely and simply accidental.

The original Warrior team was composed of ten players: Charles Dahl, Beryl Stitch, Charles Hulberg, Reggie St. John, John Little, Bill Fiene, Art Peterson, Hose Maceo, George Matchan, and Ray Ahern. Later, St. John and Maceo left the team. About the time of the first game Howard Brantz came to strengthen the Peds, while Rohrer came in time for the third game. Soon after, about the time Dahl reported to the air corps, Eskelson, Schniepp, and Goosen added their ability to the cage team.

The calendar may not show a very impressive record to sports writers of the day. What is doesn't show is that the team skyrocketed the morale of a seemingly sportsless college. It doesn't indicate that "Sonny" Dahl was a star player, averaging 20 points a game and was chosen to the StateTeachers College All-Star team. It doesn't show

that the fellows who mode up the team were, on the whole, inexperienced in basketball technique but brimming over with the enthusiasm and the try hard spirit. Nor does it tell that Rohrer left for the air force and Little for the Navy in January and February. A calendar is a good thing, but there are a lot of things it cannot illustrate. Above all, it fails to show that Coach M. J. Bambenek did a good job, with the team he piloted, to give T. C. a taste of athletic during a war year which naturally rationed all athletic activities.

Dear Diary

September 12—All-College "Mixer" and there were about eight men present, including the faculty. Not much of a rush on the girls. Good thing they're used to that.

September 21—Watermelon bust—twenty melons—six boys. They should havehad Red Cross way stations on the road back from Holzinger, judging by the rate the girls were flopping over from exhaustion due to lack of sleep, vitamin pills, exercise, and limosines.

September 29—Those Phy. Ed. girls really know how to put on an all-college picnic. They seem to know about the empty stomachs we can acquire by taking a brisk walk out to Holzinger. I thought it was fun singing songs afterwards, too.

October 7—It was so embarrassing wearing a pillow, but I just could not keep on my feet at the roller skating party. Have to study lying on my stomach. And it doesn't help to be pinched every five minutes by those psych students, either!! Dear diary, what is reaction time???

October 13—All the men students had a party at Holzinger tonight. Strictly stag—wonder what went on.

October 26-27—M. E. A. came just at the right time to suit me. Now to get caught up on some back homework and last week's washing.

October 31—My, how that Rose Bampton can sing! Wonder if I'll do as well in ten years. Wanted to soap all the windows in Somsen, but I was in such a good mood I just marked up my books instead. Wonder if anyone will attempt to push over West Lodge?

November 17—Oh, boy! What a party. Good old S. S. St. Mary's can dock at T. C. anytime. A little chilly out tonight until things began getting "hot" in front of the dorms.

November 21—^Tomorrow night at this time I'll be hame on our Thanksgiving vacation! I can smell that turkey already.

December 18—Oh! What a ball game. I came in to the game late and found a seat next to a man. Dear diary, when I asked him, "Who's game?" why did he answer, "I am."?? Anyhow, St. Mary's beat us tonight; but our boys certainly can play a good game.

December 19—Golly, here it is Christmas time again. Enjoyed the Christmas program very much. The moral of "Why the Chimes Rang" seems to be that small gifts are the most appreciated. My, but I'm going to make a lot of people happy this year! Must start packing.

January 3—Seems kinda good to get back to school again. Rather missed all the kids. I wore my new sweater today (the one Aunt Sophie gave me).

January 11—^That basketball game with La Crosse sure was wasn't it?

January 19—And Joseph Cgtton—he's so very handsome! I think "Since You Went Away" is the best movie I've seen for a long time. The Neuman Club can sponsor an all-college theatre party like that again.

February 16—I'll bet Queen Vi was excited at the coronation exercises at Ogden tonight. Wish I could look as pretty as she did. Ruthie, Kug, Flo, and Croonie made particularly nice attendants, too.

February 17—Homecoming is knocking on all fours this week-end, and the Die-No-Mo Show provided quite a bit of "gas." That Camelia Twitch was quite a gal, but we English majors must stick together!

March 12—Dear old West started going down today. The workmen could go a little easier on the noise to suit me.

March 16—I shouldn't have had that extra cupcake, especially after my second coke. Guess those kindergarteners really meant it when they said there would be plenty of food at their all-college St. Patrick's Day party. I think I'll put this shamrock in my scrapbook.

March 24—Just the walls of West are standing, and

pretty soon they'll be "tumbling down." Those West Lodgers surely housed a lot of "animals" in their attic.

March 29—Hope the Easter Bunny has a "C" card this year. Maybe I should just stay at school. I know lots of good eggs around here.

April 1—Read Eleanor's column "My Day" today, and began to put two and two together.

April 9—West Lodge has been grounded. Even the foundation was gone today. Now I know a good place for a college tennis court!

April 12—It certainly seemed nice to have all the tables in the dining hall filled again this noon—even though most of the places were occupied by high school seniors.

May 4—Prom—this is war—'nuff said. But let me add —Hats off to the Art Club for top entertainment and original decorations.

Moy 1 2—That Mendelssohn Concert has left me next to spellbound. Those girls can really sing! You know, of all the songs they sang, I liked the last one best— "Giannina mia" from THE FIREFLY.

June 1—The end is just around the corner, and how I hate to see it come! Expect to stand in line four times for a diploma for my junior friends who don't expect to make it and for financial reasons of my own.

June 7—Here it is! This is my last entry, dear diary, on the old T. C. stamping grounds. I'm going to roll up my sleeves now to see what else is there besides my elbow. "Come on, cruel world. Let's see what I can do with you."

We’re Graduating

This is 1945 the year of our graduation from college a lot of meaning in that because this is a war year did you ever refuse a pair of shoes for a piece of leather because you thought of its future use did you ever want to go someplace when everyone else thought that you should go elsewhere we did we wanted to complete a college course we "kept our eyes upon the doughnut and not upon the hole" we are degree students it wasn't easy when our friends wrote from the services from government offices from defense plants and crowded cities they wrote of attractive positions why don't you join the crowd we stayed in school no regrets you know instead ofthat we're proud four war years spent in a very patriotic way in college training for the future

Alverna Sprick

It Is Ordered

The honorable and respectable graduating sophomores of 1945 do hereby make this their last and unofficial will and testament as they leave T. C. :

Jeanne Buehler leaves her Mendelssohn spot to our friend from Moline—''Midge" Anderson.- - "Bris" Brislance and Joyce Evans leave the "bat man" to any one who will love him as they did. Perhaps they'll even knit him a sweater. - Alice Simonson wills "Willie" to future practice teachers who may be successful along that line. As to Marjorie Tailor, she simply can't spare a thing— not even the darkness of the forest.Marsh's Drug is willed to any hard-working ambitious person, who will take it off Anna Marie Truman's hands. And do you wonder why Mary Stippichabsolutely refuses to will those week-end trips to Rochester to anyone? -- We understand that Mary Ann Schroder bequeaths the third million that she makes to W. S. T. C. Norma Joslyn is the recipient of three inches of height willed her by Elaine "Shorty" Rodman. Melba Meitrodt and Irene Macha leave their apartment on Washington street to the highest bidder. Lines form to the right. While Gen Brokken has not quite decided what she will will to whom, (that's what one calls alliteration), she is sure that she won't will Ivan to anyone (and that's what one calls the possessive case).

The job of Morey Hall bell girl is left by Bernice Dugan to any unsuspecting soul. There is a rumor afoot that Lud—Dean— Capt. etc., officially known as Arvilla Ludwitzke, will leave art appreciation to almost anyone, but reserves the right to her talent of making baskets on the maple.

Eleanor Kugler wills her admiration for "little" people to Lorraine Lorenzen.

Arlene Janes could find no one person worthy of her joketelling ability, and so has decided to divide it equally between Liz Harper and E. Quast, with M. Neil putting in a strong bid for it. We wouldn't want to leave out the Navy, and so we must tell about Florence Bernhardt's decision to leave her admiration for bell-bottomed trousered men to Margaret Anderson, who isn't worried about the inheritance at present.

To Isabelle Weiser goes Cloette Berlin's immaculate hairdo. -- Lorraine McNary leaves her ambitious nature to Blanche Carlson.

Cheatin’ on the Sandman

Twqs just another night at Shepard, not a creature was stirring except some fifty girls—it being only 3:24 a. m.

First floor was calm. Six feet to the "dean's" room isn't exactly sound-proof, one must admit, there being no two ways about that.

Industrious second floor was making preparations for bed. The 12:20's had been in for some time now, so Quast, Carison, and Stip pulled in their eyeballs and shut the window. Gerry was checking to see that everyone got to bed before she did, so as not to break her

long-standing record of864 hits, 46 misses, and no errors in getting to bed last. S. Oison appeared from her room fully dressed—she thought it was time for breakfast.

The bridge game on third was dwindling rapidly. Every one was in, so Sykes shut the fire escape door for the evening. S. Lello was singing her theme-song from a tub of Lifebouy, and Francis and Pee Wee were relating their evening adventures to eager listeners.

Collins and Sprick were fighting over a check for services rendered from the Lake City Chamber of Commerce, with B. Elwood referring.

All of a sudden IT appeared. A p.j.-clad fern just outgrowing the Bobby Sock stage was tearing down the hall, yelling at the top of her nasal twang.

After the other girls were able to calm her down, this fugitive from a dame gang told of a horrible nightmare she had just had. It all centered around a gaunt fellow singing, "One Meat Bawl" at the top of his draft classification ability.

Now anyone who has ever had any connection with the currently popular Die-No-Mo shows at this institution will be able to trace the psychological implications of that dream, so the story continues without further comment.

The girls put the nightmare victim back in her bed after tossing the other two girls out of it, and went back to their respective lodgings.

Dreams that night were many—dreams of hot fudge sundaes and dancing parties, of football games and automobile trips, of dog races, horse races, and last but not least, boat races—dreams, all of them.

A Nite at Morey

Having been brought up to believe that gossip is an evil thing, I have made it my practice to obtainall information first hand. As I wished to find out how things were running in Morey (or rather, who was running things in Morey), I tucked my equipment under my arm and headed for first floor where the "gang" hangs out.

Setting my little stool in front of the first door, I erected my periscope to the keyhole and began my firsthand research of the situation.

In the semi-darkness I could see five freshmen huddled around a ouija board. One of the girls (I could tell by the question she had not been out in the world muchi asked, "When will get married?" (With me it is a case of IF.)

As I have no use for men—not that I woudn't have if there were any to speak of—I collapsed my periscope and went to the next door. As I turned to go, a white flash passed me in the hall. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? Was it Superman? I found it was Moonyeen Parker doing her cartwheels in her housecoat.

About this time "Casby Hie Cop" came along with her threatening look and I ducked into a broom closet. After this thrilling ordeal I soon found myself at the end of a waiting line. Thinking perhaps I might be on the receiving end of a free lunch, I waited patiently in line and offered to share my stool with the girl in front of me. When we did get into the room we saw the athers madly writing. With the thought that someone's studies have been too much for her, and she had gone crazy and was writing blank checks, I became anxious for my turn to come. What a letdown to find it was only a girl turned gypsy who was analyzing handwriting.

My instructors had already analyzed me several times, and not wishing to hear the awful truth again, I made a hasty exit.

The Physical Education department is well represented in Morey as most of the majors on second floor are in that field. I am told they are not the ones who use third floor hall as a race track, but that it is more of those freshmen. It was a good thing the government closed race tracks. It has added at least ten years to the lifeof Morey.

Calculating the time by the moonshine angle on the window sill, I tiptoed back to my own little cell, counting two quiet roomson the way. I decided it was too nice a night to study; so, tucking my findings of the evening into my nightmare sack, I hopped into my bed and fell fast asleep.

Spring Moment

Spring evening. And in the sky

A pale full moon keeps company

With a lone star.

Tranquility, peace. Warm winds

Carrying thoughts for a soul to feed upon.

And then a rumble growing slowly to Crashing thunder, as nature lets loose

Her forces on the world. While

Human figures scurry thither, faces wide with surprise

An "oh"ing and an "ah"ing at God's mighty show

A treetop's singing welcome to the rain.

At first a roving drop testing the time. And then a myriad of drops rushing earthward Tumbling over and over, down and down

To the open mouth of earth.

A chorus of water led by a ribbon of lightning. Drops fall, then three, then one.

And through the clouds, parted by unseen hands

A light appears and shines on silver-plated rooftops.

Here below, it's spring. And in the sky

A pale full moon keeps company with a star.

Rationing Hits the Campus

Rationing would have our vote If we could name the goods. But all these rationed things, you see. Are not the ones we think should be. If we students had our way. The things we first would ration Would be assignments once a month And every week vacation.

The males here are so very few. The poor girls don't know what to do. They look at pictures to make them gay Of Sinatra, Johnson, or Turhan Bey. Even students seem to be On the list of items rare. But something's always going on So boredom we need never bear. We may not number thousands, (And we certainly do not!) But we believe in QUALITY, And we're happy with our lot.

—Jean Zamboni

We’ll Always Remember, and Never Forget

Possibly we might forget the sine of a 30 degree angle, the Committee of Ten, or the poems of David Greenhood, but far be it from us to ever forget our first week of pushing pencils over Thurston tests upon entrance—the meatballs written up in popular song (only we did get bread with Morey Hall meat balls)—our nickels that found their way in McVey's jute box when "South" was in vogue—that horrible substitute for an old-fashioned glass of water (early morning rising bells)—the many reasons why the $85 yard light in front of the dorms should be removed (save electricity and yard space, to mention a few)—the importation of the Naval Unit from the bluff—the week-end spreads between blinking of lights— that 10.29 line-up at Macs—a quiet chapel hour at Spanton's—the artistry on the doors of the botany lab—the social committee what had so much to do—that Syracuse polish that no one took a shine to—that "elite" town clique that wouldn't be bothered—Mr. Davis' immortal quotation, "I'm the fellow they call Eddie down at the high school"—those penny fines that started many a merry chase—versatile Dean Lud who united a house divided— the Schwabe-Greer romance that kept everyone guessing—the servicemen who came back to visit—and Gladys Anderson who made them welcome—the Varga pictures that were conspiciously absent during open house at homecoming—the monthly stamp rallies always surprising us—our character-building basketball games—those salvage bins that lend atmosphere to the Grecian urn—the whisperings whenever a new shipment of bars and - -s hit Mac's and Spanton's—that Morey-Shepard Basketball fued between old friends—Ma's popularization of little boy caps—the landslide of presidential candidate Dewey (with Casby counting votes)—Mutton, mutton, who's got the mutton (no one—its's in the hash)—Matchan's promoting the good neighbor policy between Lucas and the Shepard preceptress—Moonbeam (need it be said?) the independence of the school clocks when it came to keeping time—the day the faculty modeled dunce caps on stage—Bredeson's fabulupchuous vocabulary—the unbiased and often fair decisions of thedorm council— Queen Vi crowned by Vern—orchids to Croonie via Ashley—Midge's immortal Worms and stale jokes—the cider and doughnuts at the hard times party—lesson plans at the eleventh hour—saying "happy birthday, Carrol" with flowers - lots of them—the "Back Home for Keeps" pictures—the ruins of West Lodge and the old playing cards found therein—the slack boat racing season—Henry's illness after election day—the look of consternation on the face of the mailman as some 50 oddly assorted girls rush at him every morn—the new dean's gavel—Sylvia Lello as the redheaded Russian, Stephan Stephanovitch—^Taffy Grimm's psychological deductions—all the chess games Mr. Jackson won—contemporary

literature assignments that sent the dorm electricity bill sky high—the baron ringing downstairs on the house phone and eagerly awaiting contact—Dr. Talbot's "Do you get my point?"—Clarice LaValla's blond hair— Ruth Kottschade's quiet efficiency—Mildred Holliday's smile—Harper's German accent in "Tomorrow the World"—that pin-up boy Charles on Mrs. B's dresser—Mary Neil's nose for news—Shirley Olson's class notes—Lorraine Casby's pop corn and disciplinary fame— the Shepard Hall "yellow scandal sheet" of uncertain origin and doubtful fame—our new 1 :20 lates cramped by the new midnight curfew.
