uttter Vol. XXVIII CLOCK TOWER, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, APRIL 29, 1955 No. 16 Althea Rea and Jay Sloop Are Courtesy Monarchs Germans Give Art in Gratitude President Harvey C. Hart-man displays Union's picture, one of the twelve being pre- sented to North American SDA senior colleges. Union College is the recipient of one of twelve paintings presented this month to Elder R. H. Figuhr, representing the General Confer- ence of Seventh-day Adventists, at a reception held at the German Mis- sion headquarters in Washington. The purpose of the reception was to express the gratitude of the Ger- man people and their government to the three organizations who had engaged in relief work for the Ger- man people following World War II. The three organizations invited to the reception were the North American Red Cross, the Baptist Church, and the General Confer- ence of Seventh-day Adventists. A picture has gone to each of the Seventh-day Adventist senior col- leges in North America to "recall to all the works of charity by our church organizations and bespeak the gratitude so fittingly expressed by the recipients of Christian gifts," W. R. Beach, secretary of the Gen- eral Conference, said. Academy Activities Include Industrial Tours A group of seniors are shown through the Capitol City Book Bindery, which supplies books ond jobs for students. Last week end Union College was host to seniors from the nine academies of the Central and Northern Unions. While here they took part in sports, tours, chapel, worships, and numerous other activities. Sunday afternoon was taken up with bas- ketball games between the differ- ent academies. Sunday evening the senior "all stars" played the college freshmen basketballers. The fresh- men were only able to tie the score and cause the game to go into over- time, finally edging ahead in the overtime to win. * CCMING EVENTS * Vespers April 29—Elder Howe May 6—Hanging of the Golden Cords Chapels April 29—Student Association May 2 & 3—Dr. Hare May 4—Honors Convocation May 5 & 6—Promotions Committee Saturday Nights April 30—Music Department May 7—Open Night 'j MAY 6-8 ALUMNI ! ?

Some departments put on demonstra- tions, such as Dr. ]orgensen's (chemistry) hydrogen bomb, and Dr. Hare's (physics) electric field. The final event of the seniors' visit was a banquet held in their honor, Monday evening. Coronation Ceremony on North Hall Lawn After a courtesy campaign last- ing from November to end of March and the election of a King and Queen of courtesy on the Union College campus, the courtesy coro- nation was held Tuesday night, April 21. At a lawn ceremony in front of North hall at eight o'clock Althea Rea and Jay Sloop were crowned by President and Mrs. Harvey C. Hartman. In crimson robes, ermine trimmed, the royalty followed the other courtesy candi- dates onto a rose colored platform where they were seated on thrones during the coronation program. Ralph Williams, chairman of the Courtesy committee began the eve- ning's festivities with a short speech on the purpose and qualifications for which the, king and queen were chosen. UC's Unionaires sang "The Happy Wanderer" and "Give Me Your Tired and Poor" accompanied by Charlotte Lehto. President Hartman emphasized that true courtesy is an experience that needs to be manifest from within. He compared the oil of true courtesy in a fast-moving so- ciety to oil for a much used squeak- ing door. Courtesy Candidates The other candidates of courtesy were Don Gilbert, Laurene Stacey- Cleveland, Sandra Joyner, Joe Pearce, Verlene Nesmith, Bill Rob- inson, Bill Bassham, Neva Seamans, Virginia Durichek, and Norman Woods Other officers of the courtesy committee, which is sponsored and organized under the auspices of the Student Association, are Es- telle Krasko, Joyce Zummach, Ear- nest Chan, Tom Hinde, and Georg- ia Strieker. The primary function of the committee was to carry on the courtesy campaign throughout the school year, "to encourage a more courteous and reverent atti- tude among the students on the campus." Pic knickers Play at Pioneer Park Books, hells, labs, and lectures took a back seat Wednesday when approximately 600 Union College students turned their backs on learning in favor of activities of a lighter nature at Pioneer Park. By 9:30 a.m. the recreation com- mittee had announced the contest- ants who were to take part in the track events and the annual school picnic was under way. Two con- testants from each class were per- mitted to participate in the track events which took place as follows: 100 yard dash, 440 relay, mile run, broad jump, high jump, and the shot put. Activities were not limit- ed to these competitive events, however. Some of the students pre- ferred to tour the park and country- side on rented bicycles. Others rented horses from a near-by farm and proceeded in western style. Volleyball occupied the attention of some of the more active students while a few sought entertainment on the golf course. At noon a picnic dinner, pre- pared by the cafeteria staff, was served in the shaded picnic area. The activities of the afternoon were centered primarily around the softball games. The program pro- vided for one game between the freshmen and seniors and another between the sophomores and jun- iors. with the winners playing the final game. Picnic pictures and sports results will appear in next week's special issue. Courtesy King Jay Sloop and Queen Althea Rea ore officially crowned as their at- tendents look on. Church School Builders Plan May Fair for Funds May 1, 3:30 p.m., Union College Gymnasium: combine the three and the result is the date, time, and place of the May Fair. This event, planned and directed by the Ele- mentary School building commit- tee, is part of a fund-raising drive to obtain money for the new church school building. "Buy your lady a corsage, or take her riding on a bicycle built for two. For a small charge you can record your voice and send mom a Mother's Day greeting. Watch the children as they ride on ponies and little ears. Hungry? You can also purchase your supper at the fair. Other stands will be near-by where you can obtain cold drinks, candy bars, pop com, and other refreshments." These are some of the things to do at the May Fair, as reported by the committee. A hobby show will also display the varied hobbies of many of the ele- mentary school pupils. Students Take Staff Roles on Special Day The Student Association in co- operation with the Promotions Committee announces a student day for Wednesday, May 4. On this day students will be in charge of the administrative posi- tions on the campus, and they will be assisted by the administrators themselves. Students will also pre- pare and give the lectures for the classroom teachers on this special day. The purpose of the student day program, as stated by SA President Ralph Watts, is to foster better un- derstanding between the students and staff members. Agenda for the SA day includes student teachers and administrators as far as is feasible, student repre- sentatives in the industries, a stu- dent administrative council, and a student staff meeting. Reports on the events of the SA day will be featured in the convo- cations of May 5 and 6. Art Students Exhibit Laboratory Work Art work from several UC art classes was exhibited in the art lab, room 113, recently. Oils and water colors of portraits, still lifes, ani- mals, landscapes, and design were displayed by the art orientation and art composition classes, said Mrs. E. M. Cadwallader, instructor in the art department. Those who entered work in the exhibit were Phyllis Begole, Mari- lyn Matthews, Norman Wagness, Sally Nugent, LeDean Frederick- son, Don Nelson, Kay Sanford, Mrs. Katherine Bridges, Lowell Nelson and Theron Ware. Art orientation and art composi- tion classes and labs meet in 113 on Wednesday afternoons. These classes work with material to be copied, models, still life arrange- ments and photographs or by com- pletely original composition. The readers of the CLOCK TOWER, and especially those who knew her, will be saddened to learn of the recent death of Miss Eve Perkins, a graduate of Union College in the class of 1953. For the past two years she has been teaching in Leadville, Colorado. Miss Perkins was injured while skiing in a tournament in the Arapa- ho Basin in Colorado. Her skiing fall resulted in a double fracture of her leg, but the shock brought on complications which led to her death one week later, April 16. During her senior year at Union, Eve took a very active part in school activities, leading the women of North hall to victory in the CLOCK TOWER campaign. Her zest for liv- ing and her willingness to help oth- ers will long be remembered by those who knew her. —HILDA FERN REMLEY 2 CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 15, 1955 2 tfllttT EDITORIAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ASSOCIATE EDITOR ....

Tradition or Progress The words "tradition" and "progress" are used quite loosely so that sometimes an exact connotation is lost in a personal opinion. For example, let us look first at "tradition." When measured by the historians' rule, it is worthless or nearly so. However, when an alum- nus speaks of Union's rich traditions, it is almost with reverence. To some, progress means a steady improvement; to others, mere- ly a change. Some things are criticized because of a traditional beginning or background. Other things draw comment because they seek to change longstanding annual events. Can we say tradition is bad and progress is good? One may perhaps be quite safe in saying that progress, not mere- ly a change but an advance toward a valuable objective, is good. Tradition, however, is something which may be good, merely old, or even bad. Because something has been done or done one way for many years does not make it worthwhile nor unchangeable. Let us always think of traditions at Union College as change- able customs and not merely events, programs, etc. of ancient vin- tage. Let us also refer to only changes for improvement as progress. Let us weigh both traditions and changes on their merits and not by whims as to whether something is good because it is new or old. Let us harmonize the two into one "Union College, where pro- gress is a tradition." E. Nuffsed 'Penned from the heads of the Eds Decency and practicality: these are the bases which determine the dress of sensible and sensitive people. The first is an "absolute" principle. There is no gray between the white and the black of clean, modest clothing and ill-arranged, "showy" dress. Whatever their backgrounds, thinking, aware persons know what apparel is proper for public wear and what is not. Those who are oblivious of this innate knowledge, or who do not allow its automatic application, magnify an issue that perhaps does not exist. The second principle is "relative." Relativity must have an ob- ject: practicality in clothing is relative to situation—not, of course, to personality. However, an active person will find himself often in situations far different from a person whose spirit is essentially pas- sive. Thus two persons may go to one function, one wearing one thing, and one another thing—and each right for himself. The situation itself, however, does not provide the only deter- mining factor in practicality. A well-known and important part of it is available finance. Items of dress that may seem proper in tenaci- ously-held opinions sometimes turn out to be grossly impractical when applied to the second principle. Not only wearability, but cleanability enters into practicality. Materials made for hard wear are often spot- resistant or easily washed. These things must be taken into considera- tion, particularly when choosing sports-wear. The question of the overlapping of the two principles is often confusing. But it is hardly conceivable that truly immodest apparel can also be practical. Those who would get most satisfaction from their clothing choose clothing that can be worn freely at various occasions. Material itself usually has little to do with "decency." It is style that makes apparel proper or improper. And since two materials in one style can have so little to do with propriety, it is illogical to place clothing of one cloth above that of another. Persons at all aware know when their clothing makes them out of place. The group determines the customs by majority feeling and actions. A group does not, by the mere fact of its "groupness" of in- dividuals, condone indecent, impractical dress. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon McDonald, (Betty Barker), Sheri Lee, 7 lbs., April 1.

This is the third in a series of five arti- cles by members of the music faculty on "What Is Good Music?" Succeeding arti- cles will be written by Harold Lickey and Mrs. Phyllis Joyce. BY PI. LLOYD LENO How often we hear the expres- sion, "it is not what he said, it is the way he said it." The title of a piece of music does not always indicate the value of it. Dance bands all over the country are play- ing music of such "classic" com- posers as Strauss and Mozart, but in a manner entirely unacceptable to the discerning mind. Anything from a concerto or symphony theme to college songs and marches have been stylized to appeal to those who prefer to lis- ten to swing or jazz. Beautiful mel- odies have been used to create pop- ular songs. Masterful orchestral works have been adapted for danc- ing by changing the basic rhythm and expressive quality of the melo- dy and harmony. Even sacred music has suffered the abuse of incorrect interpreta- tion and performance. Popular ra- dio singers perform gospel songs in the same manner and style that they croon the popular hit tunes. It is sacreligious, to say the least, for Seventh-day Adventists to sing sacred songs after the style of radio crooners just to please the unedu- cated listeners. Sacred music should be sung to God and not to men. What difference does it make and why should it concern the casual listener? In the book Education, pages 230-231 we find this warning: "It is a fact widely ignored, though never without danger, that error rarely appears for what it really is. It is by mingling with or at- taching itself to truth that it gains acceptance. The eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil caused the ruin of our first parents, and the acceptance of a mingling of good and evil is the ruin of men and women today. The mind that depends upon the judgment of oth- ers is certain, sooner or later, to be misled." Tliis statement can hardly be more applicable to any subject than music. It is quite obvious that ev- ery good and beautiful gift that God has given to man, Satan has counterfeited, changed, corrupted, or in some way used to his advan- tage. CLUBLICITY Qladuatian Dr. and Mrs. Oliver j. Pogue (Barbara Versaw), '49 and '50, and small son, recently spent a week in Lincoln visiting at die home of Barbara's parents. The Pogues are living at Takoma Park, Maryland, where the doctor lias a residency at the Washington Sanitarium. Flora Vogan, '21, a teacher in the Iowa high schools for several years, was a welcome campus guest April Elder Carl Sundin, '47, associate secretary of the medical depart- ment of the General Conference, was the guest speaker at the staff banquet held at the Cotner Ter- race, April 21, sponsored by the faculty social committee. Seven of the nine academy prin- cipals in the Northern and Central Union Conferences are Union Col- lege graduates. The following were on the campus April 17 and" 18 to attend the "Senior Days" program at the College: L. G. Barker, '36, of Enterprise in Kansas; R. T. Car- ter, '40, of Platte Valley in Nebras- ka; R. A. Johnson, '29, of Union College Academy; R. E. Hamilton, '49, of Oak Park in Iowa; G. G. Davenport, '43, of Plainview in South Dakota; B. G. Butherus, '29, of Maplewood in Minnesota; and Jay Lantry, '48, of Sheyenne River in North Dakota. Mr. and Mrs. Paul T. Seal (Betty Yarwood, '46), and daughter were on the campus April 21. They were en route to their home in California after a short vacation. '•'" - - ' - ' /49k '••:>•' IRC news reporters are Lowell Nelson, Jerry Wiley, and Ed Stacey. BY JANICE MORGAN "This is your IRC Club report- ing," is a familiar phase to chapel go-ers. The sponsor, Dr. Russell Nelson, informs that the club meets twice a month and plans for a picture or social at least once a month. The club also sponsors "The News Mag- azine of the Screen," telling of ad- vances in science, medicine, and world affairs. The officers for second semester are president, Charles Washburn; secretary, Mrs. Mary Olson; treas- urer, Lowell Nelson; and publicity- secretary, Rafael Escandon. The reporter in lower division chapel for second semester is Lo- well Nelson, a student from Frazer, Montana. A familiar voice reporting for the IRC Club first semester is that of Ed Stacey. He is a sophomore min- isterial student from Atchison, Kan- sas. The tall Texan with the camera, Jerry Wiley, was president of the IRC Club first semester, and a re- porter for upper division chapel. And that, folks, is the report of the IRC Club today! Sigma lota Kappa After holding its devotional in the college chapel April 21, Sigma Iota Kappa re-convened in the re- cital room of the Music hall where music was provided by Velma Jean and Van Knauss at the piano and organ. Kappa Theta Kappa Theta had joint club with Sigma Iota Kappa on April 14. The program was "Twenty Questions" with Mr. Cleveland as master of ceremonies. The panel consisted of Elder Williamson, Elder Wallen- kampf, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lickey. On April 20 the film "Chimp on the Farm" was shown. UC Dairy Uses New Equipment "No food is more important to man's welfare or does more for the body than milk." According to this statement by nutritionists, Union College is building up its dairy through Mr. Kaufman. Milk was cooled for the first time through its new cooler just recently installed. Among other additions are the rebuilding of the cold room and deep freeze shortly after school opened last September, and a 1952 "Chevy" panel for the route was bought just a few months ago. From approximately sixty cows being milked, one hundred sixty gallons of milk is being received, of which much goes to the seventy customers on the route in addition to what is being sold in the store and used at the college cafeteria. Mr. Kaufman, the daily manager, has been at Union four years now. Teachers and Student Attend Convention Russell K. Nelson, Rudolph A. Johnson, and John J. Ruffing at- tended the annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Historical Asso- ciation in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 28, 29. This association is the profession- al society to which most American historians belong who are inter- ested in United States history. While in St. Louis Dr. Nelson will serve as chairman of a com- mittee to co-ordinate the historical activities of the National Park Service with the work of historians in universities and colleges. Dr. Everett N. Dick, the regular chair- man of this committee, was unable to attend the St. Louis meeting for he is in the Orient in connection with Seventh-day Adventist Medi- cal Cadet Corp work. The men who made the trip to the convention are interested in keeping up with the latest trends in historical scholarship. Dr. Nel- son and Mr. Johnson both teach history at Union and John Ruffing is a student majoring in history. Students Elect 1955-1956 Committees Students chose committee members for the coming year at recent chapels.

TECHNICIAN BOOSTS PHYSICAL THERAPY "Forty million aspirins are taken each day by Americans," recently stated Charles S. Thomas, physical therapist from the College of Medi- cal Evangelists, Loma Linda, Cali- fornia, to a group of Union College students. He went on to say, "This is not right. They do not need drugs to get well, but a better cure—physi- cal therapy. Physical therapy is God's own method to treat all di- seases." Charles S. Thomas is a native of Southern India, where his father was the first one to accept Seventh- day Adventist Christianity. He went to Los Angeles and there completed the physical therapy course at CME. Mr. Thomas, on tour to solicit people to this type of work, said, "Physical therapy affords the best opportunities to help others." CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 29, 1955 3 DR. E. P. HEINRICH Optometrist 4735 Prescott Avenue Lincoln, Nebraska Mr. Minium Mr. Turner Mrs. Welch Plans are being made for the academy picnic which will be held sometime in May. Harold Reeder won second prize in the temperance oratorical con- test, held at Platte Valley Acad- emy, among the five academies of die Central Union. Three carloads of students, the Johnsons, and the Grieses accompanied our repre- sentative. The coronation committee with Carolyn Kuehl as chairman is work- ing hard on plans for the crown- ing of the academy courtesy King and Queen. The program will be held on Monday night, May 9, in the Music hall auditorium. Correction of the last issue: Car- ol Runyan, Merlene Multer, and Eleanor Larson's names appeared on the 3rd Nine Week's Honor Roll as having all A's. All three should have had all B's. Sorry to have to make the change, girls. Normalie Peterson's name should not have appeared. We are happy to have Natalie Deming back to school after a week in the hospital. On Sabbath, April 16, did you miss an inspiring Youth Fellowship program entitled, "A Wonderland of Spring"? Beautiful colored slides were shown as Elder Deming, Clair Johnson, and Carol Hilde read the narration. Wesley Welch played a trumpet solo. Two vocal solos, "Trees" and "Into the Woods My Master Went," were sung by Jean Shafer and Billie Deming. About the first of the new year there came a change in Mrs. Welch's classroom. The big bulle- tin board came to life. In January, pictures of beautiful scenery ap- peared. Then in February, two girls from the sophomore class made a huge calendar in red and white. The dates were printed on red hearts.

Gwen Jensen and Pat Peterson were responsible for getting together the acts presented by Union Col- lege school of nursing. LaDean Frederickson and Kathleen Anderson did excellent work on the decor- ations. Young, Woman's Fancy was the title of a musi- cal fashion parade given by fifteen North hall women. A skit Dining With Sumie and a vocal solo by Ellen Holt made up the sum of Union's contribution to "Nurse's Nonsense." The assignment of compiling a family tree was given to the students in the Psychology of Personal Adjustment class. When Louise Cupp said she wished her mother would hurry up and send their family tree Miriam Binder said, "I don't know what I'm going to do because we don't have a tree on the place." Quarantined is Jennifer Butherus with chicken pox. She has been "shut away" from the rest of us for several days, but she takes her childhood disease with an adult smile. We'll all be glad to see her back in circulation again. After Milton, Dr. Hare's little boy, heard of Alfred Einstein's death he said to his father, "Daddy, Einstein was the world's greatest physicist, but I guess you are now." Despite lo-o-o-ng dinner lines and crowded rooms the week end of academy visitation was one of pleas- ure. The freshman class of '55 will certainly have a quantity of talent that is of the best quality if the chapel program of April IS given by the seniors can be an indication. See you all next year! (And if you think the dinner lines were long, just wait until regis- tration. ) Silly snickers, Simple smiles, Loud laughs, O how they irritate when I want to be sedate. By Jon Owens With the exception of a few groans from the Sen- iors over the recent Graduate Record Examinations; the applause for the crowning of the Courtesy Roy- alty; and the various sounds from all of the golf, tennis, Softball, and ping-pong games that are being played; tilt; campus has been fairly quiet for the last few days. But somehow all of the energy that is being spent on the athletic fields just isn't being matched in the classrooms. But who cares? This is Spring. Prob- ably nobody, except our parents, teachers, future em- ployers, and an admissions committee or two; but that's beside the point. Another problem of Spring, according to Dean Cul- ver, (I know what you're thinking, but that's not it) is the fact that so many of the fellows come in late to worship. Dean reminded us one night that we should start for the chapel about the time that the first bell rings, then we could stop awhile and talk or even play a little catch without being late. lie went on to say that if we were ever late to worship, that we should take one of the back seats instead of going to our assigned seat, especially if our seat happened to be near the front; for it would cause far less dis- turbance for us to take a back seat instead of making several people stand up to let us get to our seat. At this point, Dean Culver was stopped by Bob Klein's coming late and having to step over five or six fellows to get to liis seat. In Business Machines lab awhile ago, the class was learning how to use dictation equipment. Bong Mo Lee, who comes from Korea, happened to be in the class, so he started speaking into the microphone in order to make a record for the others to transcribe. LaVonne Ludwig then took the record and started to play it back. Expecting plain English to come out, she was somewhat startled to hear a garbled bunch of sounds that sounded strangely like a foreign lan- guage. "He knows I can't understand Korean," won- dered LaVonne, "why didn't he talk in plain English?" Several others came over to b'sten to "Korean"; but as it turned out, they were listening to their own native tongue. Seems that the record had been put in backwards. Gipson Motor & Tire Capping Service 4047 South 48 4-2555 Editorial Courtesy, according to Webster, is graceful and considerate behav- ior toward others. In the near fu- ture the entire student body will be voting on the names nominated for the king and queen of courtesy. When this happens, don't be influ- enced by your friends and their choice, don't vote for someone just because he is your friend, but stop and consider each person. Is that person considerate of everyone?— does he speak to all the students? Courtesy doesn't mean just saying, "thank you" or "please." Those ex- pressions help, but if your whole attitude toward people is friendly, little tilings will fall into line. Re- member these things when it is time to vote!

Now the question is, "What is for May"? Your Opinion Please! "What are you going to do this summer?" Carolyn Smith: "I'm going to a medical meeting with my folks in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and then back here to work." Carol Hilde: "One of these three: work at die switchboard, stay in Minneapolis, or at Estes Park. Undecided yet! Glair Johnson: "Work at Maple- wood Academy." Merlene Multer: "I don't know- something." Cornelius Covrig: "Work in Oma- ha." Marvel Jensen: "I will be attending the Rocky Ridge Music Center in Colorado for seven weeks and then home to spend lots of time swimming." SENIORS SIGN CAMPUS IN BLACK & GOLD The '55 senior class gift is temporarily supported by cables and wooden pegs while concrete sets around metal legs. The senior class of 1955 is pre- senting to Union College two light- ed "welcome" signs as the senior gift. The signs, having golden wood letters raised on a black back- ground, are placed one on each end of the campus, facing 48th Sheet, and lit by spotlights from the ground. They will be presented by senior class President William Bassham to the college on com- mencement week end. The traditional gift was chosen by this year's class from sugges- tions made by the gift committee, headed by Ray Bailey. The signs were installed last week. Eighty-Eight Seniors Take Graduate Record Exams Last week senior class members took the Graduate Record Exam- ination. A complete day was used to take this examination, the apti- tude test being given on Tuesday morning, and the advanced test on Wednesday afternoon. The Graduate Record Examina- tion is given by an independent testing organization to ascertain how college students measure up with their fellow college students in the United States. A general test is given that mea- sures the senior's knowledge over such fields as vocabulary, math, science, etc. Another test is given over the particular field of the sen- ior's interest, or major. Results of the examination will be forwarded to Union College and the senior may know exactly how the knowledge of the group and of the individual senior rates with oth- er colleges and other seniors.

Mrs. Miller is on the Union College staff in the extension division making it possi- ble for students in the Cuban school to obtain accredited degrees. Autumn Hotchkiss was born in Osceola, Nebraska, but she remem- bers more about South Dakota in connection with the first nine years as her parents moved there before her first year. At six years old Autumn be- gan school and she loved it. Noth- ing could keep her from going ev- ery day—blizzards, drifts, or high water. On one occasion she m?cl" her father take her through a very severe storm to find that the teach- er and other pupils had not come and there was no school. Autumn has a perfect record of attendance for her first twelve vears of school. husband taught mathematics and science. Antillian |unior College was the next stop for Mrs. Autumn Miller and. work began right away to build up an education department. There was no equipment or per- manent classrooms, no training school, and no or almost no stu- dents. With this challenge facing her, she stepped in and has done a \ cry efficient job of seeing the building program through. Help from the union and the division have' made possible the new normal building. Drives and campaigns were organized. Children and 'eachers of the elementary school hi\ve frown and sold vegetables to raise money for the equipment. There are now four large class- rooms and an office to accommo- date the first six grades of the ele- m.enfary school and the teachers in. training'.

Badminton The B a d m i n t o n tournament came to a close when M. S. Culver defeated Carroll Knauss in the semi-finals only to be overcome in the finals by Jerry Beem who proved himself the undisputed bad- minton champ. Softball Two leagues have been formed in the Softball tournament. The final rosters for each league will be announced later. Mrs. Autumn Miller, Union's teacher at Antillian Junior College, Santa Clara, Cuba, helps students with their lessons. When she returned to Nebraska in the fourth grade, she often rode a pony ten miles to school. She and the pony soon became inseparable until she taught him to jump. Soon after moving to College View, Autumn and her mother were baptized. Autumn attended College View High School. It was at Union College that she met Herman Miller and began dat- ing him. William Kuehl, Herman's roommate, tells of the 10:00 o'clock curfew in the boy's dorm and the two boys meeting on the edge of the campus every evening running from the girl's homes on the third strike of ten. The Millers were mar- ried and graduated in 1931. After graduation they went to Kansas where they taught in inter- mediate schools for four years. In 1936, the two of them went to the SDA college in Costa Rica, a very beautiful country. For 13 years they stayed there. Mrs. Miller was preceptress, bookkeeper, and commercial teacher for six years. Then for seven years she taught the normal training classes while her Mrs. Miller received her Master of Education from Nebraska Uni- versity in 1953. She spent four sum- mers here working on the degree. Other summers have been spent in Cuba teaching. Mr. Miller, who is now retired because of ill health, and Mrs. Mill- er still have a great love for the out-of-doors. They like to find time to take a few days off and camp out—really rough it. Shell collect- ing is a hobby they share. Mrs. Miller says I am happy to be in the "nicest work" that God has given to man—the education of our children and vouth.
