Winter has already been forgot- ten. Spring and the good earth have again begun their joint task of transforming our campus from its barren, wintry bleakness into an inviting expanse of varying shades of living green, sprinkled here and there with the vivid beauty of early blossoms. We, as college seniors, are also on our way out. And as the warm days multiply, the realization that another school year is almost com- pleted fills us with mixed emotions —joy over having successfully at- tained another of the goals toward which we have strived, and sober- ness because many of us are now entering upon new fields of en- deavor and into positions of respon- sibility and,leadership. Reflecting then upon our years here, we note much in the realm of social, intellectual and spiritual progress which causes us to be grateful; and being thus grateful we have cast about for some memo- rial which will be a fitting expres- s NEWS REVIEW Mcd Banquet April 14 Presentation of a beautiful birth- day cake to Dr. Harold Shryock, dean of the College of Medical Evangelists, highlighted the annual Pre-NIed Club banquet which was held in the college cafeteria April 14. Ed 'Wyman, president of Mu Epsilon Delta, had the honor of giving the cake to the doctor and announced that the occasion had a dual significance—the birthday of Dr. Shryock and the annual ban- quet of the club. During the week, Dr. Shryock in- terviewed those who have applied for entrance with the coming fresh- man class at the medical school. He was accompanied by Mrs. Shryock, who visited Union for the first time. Choir I Tours Iowa Choir I, directed by Wayne Hoo- per, made a tour through Iowa April 16-18. Sacred concerts were given Friday night and Saturday morning in the Des Moines churclt and at Oak Park Academy in Ne- vada Saturday afternoon. A secular variety program was given in the evening. Sunday night the choir gave a half-hour program at Oma- ha in the Rome Hotel Ballroom where Elder Hackett is holding evangelistic meetings. sion of our appreciation for Old Union, a reminder of her constant growth, and an inspiration to suc- ceeding classes of Christian youth. The gift which we have chosen to present to our Alma Mater is a gateway between the auditorium and the church now in the early stages of construction. This struc- ture of red brick in modern design in which lights will be concealed behind glass blocks will aid greatly in beautifying that section of the campus. May we then suggest that these gateposts be looked upon not only as a material representation of our devotion, but also as a symbol of the door of spiritual hope through which future generations of Union- ites will also pass. May the bricks and mortar represent the strength of character for which we all strive, and may the lights symbolize the power of Christ radiating from our lives. So, fellow classmates, and stu- dents of tomorrow, look thus upon our gateposts: the future gateway to the College of the Golden Cords! 4-1 Hub of Harmony Concert Approximately 5,000 people at- tended the Hub of Harmony schol- arship concert in the Coliseum April 18. Directed by Frank Hale, and sponsored by Wayne Hooper, the group presented an outstanding program. Academy Seniors Visit On April 18 and 19 the Senior classes from Campion, Enterprise, Maplewood, Oak Park, Plainview, Platte Valley, Sheyenne River, Sun- nydale, and Union College Acad- emy visited the Union College campus. A supper was served to the vis- itors Sunday evening, followed by a program of readings, musical numbers, and welcome speeches, with Professor W. H. Beaven as master of ceremonies. The academies gave a very en- joyable chapel program Monday morning. Each class, presented by its class sponsor and president, gave a short program. Monday afternoon a tour of the campus was conducted, after which a tea was given in North Hall. At 3:15 there was a lively softball game between the academy seniors and the college freshmen. To climax their visit here, the seniors attended the U.S. Navy Band concert held at the University Coliseum. Early in the school year the sen- iors of '48 elected class officers. The newly-elected President Blecha was well-known by all since everyone shows an interest in roy- alty. Byron has a distinctive per- sonality. He is well suited for his honored position, since even though he is a king living in a castle, he has a Lincoln-like com- monness about him. His tall figure. aristocratic nose, and sense of hu- mor blend together making a per- son well suited to meet both the serious and humorous sides of life. Branka Bogdanovich has proved that she makes a very satisfactory vice-president, being elected for the third time to this class office. Everyone knows and loves Branka. She is gracious and friendly at all times. Her dark hair and deep blue eyes accent her charming person- ality. Rocelia Kegley, one who has mastered the techniques of secre- tarial practice, was chosen class secretary. She not only has the training which qualifies her as the perfect secretary, but her person- ality is equally as satisfactory. She is quiet but friendly. Her radiant brown eyes are emphasized by her fair skin. The newly-elected treasurer is a man who has become well known about the campus in the sports line. Earl Wilson divides his time among this favorite hobby, his business major, and his wife, Jean Hutchin- son. He experiences no slight de- l-- gree of success in the mastery of each! How appropriate it was that Winston Dennis should be the pas- tor! He had already proved his ca- pabilities along this line by his sing- ing evangelistic work. His sincerity and amiableness are his two most noticeable characteristics. Since George Thomson has the reputation of putting humor into all the serious things, it was unani- mously agreed to have him as ser- geant. In keeping order among the rest of the seniors, this "over-six- foot Texan" must not only maintain a dignified position, but who else could put "Smoky" in his place. It was in 1930 that Dr. Everett Pick, the class sponsor, answered the call to come to Union "for such a time as this." The seniors are proud of him, for who' could be more appropriate for sponsor of a graduating class of the Middle West than the man whose interest has always been the West—its past, present, and future. Dr. Dick's keen sense of humor and frontier laugh add life to all the senior functions. The Senior Class is proud of the six officers and sponsor who repre- sent them; these officers with their varied personalities and coming from various states truly represent the different members which make up the class of '48.

An alumnus of Union College and president of the gaduating class of '13, Elder Teesdale has served in a number of educational offices in our denomination. After teaching history at Southwestern Junior College he was principal of Oak Park Academy for seven years. He received his master's degree from the University of Chicago and his doctoral degree from the Uni- versity of California. He became associate secretary in the General Conference educational depart- ment following his position as his- tory department head at Pacific Union College. He undertook his present off ice after the last General Conference session. Before assuming the presidency of the Texico Conference, Elder Dower had served for four years as pastor of the Grand River church in Detroit, Michigan. He has also been pastor for the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, church. Elder Dower is a graduate of Washington Mis- sionary College and was in charge of the spring week of prayer at Union College last year.

NEBRASKA Ilse -East Via afrid Teltameort It was our intention and would have been our greatest pleasure to present to the Junior Class, soon to be the Senior Class, personally with these tokens of our esteem, but, finding our possessions are even more extensive and valuable than we bad thought, it is impossible, particularly as our last days are oc- cupied with social engagements and other dates not so social but of great importance to the future, which we are obliged to keep with various members of the faculty. We, the Class of 1948, in the city of Lincoln, county of Lancaster, and the state of Nebraska, being in as good a mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, render- ing void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by any of us dur- ing a period of temporary opti- mism. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forget- ting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues. We trust that our records and our unusual achievements will live after us. In this manner do we dispose of our possessions: We leave the Class of '49 our good luck. It made us what we are today, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this, all our privi- leges and rights as Seniors in class- room and chapel will we revert to them, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, or unfin- ished business, including debts con- tracted while engaged in the busi- ness of being a Senior. We give and bequeath to the unior class our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the exam questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an exam, like his- tory, often repeats itself. The an- swers, however, have long since been mislaid by us and are not in- cluded in this legacy. To our teachers, the Faculty of Union College, we hereby give, free from all inheritvice, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned: that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Along with this knowl- edge is bequeathed much addition- al information obtained by original research and outside reading. To next year's class president we leave King Blecha's crown and the sceptre ( gavel) with which he si- lenced opposition or at least pre- vented others from knowing that opposition existed. To the choirs and all musical or- ganizations we leave our ability to watch the leader and the audience at the same time. We may have lost a measure or skipped a beat in the music occasionally, but we never missed anything — or anybody — in the audience. To the laziest member of the Senior class-to-be we bequeath Hugh Meadows' ambition. If com- bined with his laziness, the results will be normal activity! We leave the '49ers our ability to keep on good terms with the faculty and still do as we please; in other words, our executive ability. To those Seniors-to-be, we give Gloria Olson's store of language. This will enable the recipients to talk more and say less than any other human beings. We give of necessity to the Jun- iors, our mantle of dignity. It is ex- pected of them to fill it and our advice is, "Grin and wear it." To the president of our college we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our days together and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or note- worthy achievements that our fu- ture may contain. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class advisor, Dr. Everett Dick. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1948, the testator, have set our hand and seal on the 22nd day of April in the year of 1948. The Chordsmen Quartet, accompanied by Mr, and Mrs. Hohensee and Ora Mc- Lean, visited Plainview Academy the week end of April 9. Rosella Reiner, secretary of the music department, is now a member of the Lincoln Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Many of the students enjoyed an eve- ning of music given by the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra in concert April 13. Rudolph Fellner was conducter with au- dition winners Helen Anderson, pianist, and Leland Finecy, tenor. Raymond Ca- sey and Jeannette Hause arc members of the Lincoln Symphony. * The Lincoln Chapter of the American Guild of Organists presented Virgil Fox, organist of the Riverside Church in New York City, April 21 at the First Plymouth Congregational Church. Virgil Fox today occupies a place which is unique in the organ concert world. In his early thirties, he has won for himself an enviable position among the greatest exponents of organ music the world over. His interpretations, tone col- orings, and registrations are those of a most sincere and profound musician. The organ as a concert instrument fares well at the hands of Virgil Fox. Hub of Harmony Chorus and Director Frank Hale 9 CLOCK TOWER, APRIL 22, 1948 Union's Heritage A spacious campus, noble brick buildings, and adequate equipment do not make a college. All of these things are important, but they are, after all, merely the empty shell. A real college is a place where teachers of learning and broad understanding guide the knowledge-hungry students •into right paths of thinking and living, where students reach out to seize opportunities to prepare themselves to do great things for God; in short, a college is a community where learning flourishes—a veritable hotbed where the ten- der plants of thinking and character-building spring up and become sturdy in the lives of those developing into manhood and womanhood. We believe Union College is a real college in the highest sense of the word. Once again a class which has enjoyed for four years the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual opportu- nities of growth goes forth from Union's doors. Once again the College of the Golden Cords declares divi- dends to its stockholders—the parents and friends who have invested much in the cause of Christian education. As these young people go forth with the imprint of Union upon them we are confident they will not fail in life's responsibilities and will fulfill our high- est expectations for them. EVERETT DICK Senior Sponsor A Quest for Knowledge Slowly, painfully, the mountain climber inched his way up the rough terrain, of the mountain peak of knowledge. He concentrated all his efforts in a final lunge that threw him on the small ledge of spring vacation. As he lay there panting he looked far down the sides of the mount to the plateau of high school graduation. Far below, almost hidden in the shadows he could see the precipice of entrance exams. At the base lay a huge pile of yellowing exam papers, a mute monu- ment to those who had failed. Scarring the side of the peak were the crevices of outside reading which oc- curred in painful regularity and yet were the only passageways up the fastnesses of the mount of higher learning. Here and there were the sheer, towering walls of final exams that had proved to be the nemeses of many mountain climbers. Only the rope of thorough prepara- tion had helped over these seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A barren streak showed where the rough course avalanche had thundered down the side of the peak, sweeping all before it. Only the cleft of diligent study had provided safety against this onslaught. The last stretch of the journey had been difficult because of the ruthless competition of the grade point seekers. After this brief respite, the climber looked up to the summit of the mountain. Then, he wondered, what lay ahead? Was this the end? Was there no more to the peak of knowledge? Would graduation mark the end of the quest? The climber rose to his feet and began the last lap. Spurred on by the thought of graduation he found the obstacles to be less difficult. Fin-ally the summit was reached. Instead of being the very top, he found it to be only a broad plateau. At the far end of the plateau rose the peak of knowledge again. Rising up from the plain, the peak towered high above all the surrounding land until its dizzy heights were lost in the clouds of eternity. To the quest of knowledge there was no end. MORTEN JUBERO PLACEMENT BUREAU LISTS APPOINTMENTS The Placement Bureau was established for the pur- pose of aiding seniors in obtaining positions upon graduation. The bureau has information concerning each senior, such as majors and minors and the choice of positions that each individual desires.

Four years ago, early one morning in September, the faculty of Union College was in the halls chatting about the just-ended vacation when they caught a glimpse of things new and strange. (A common occurrence each year!) In the halls were the members of what became .the class of 1948, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety. To the teachers, these strangers seemed distinct and widely separated individuals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies, and capabilities decidedly worth finding out. Many had come from academies and found col- lege life quite alarming. The next few weeks the fac- ulty used in attempting to gain their confidence and friendship. EXPLORATION Following the discovery of what would prove to be a large graduating class, each of the discoverers be- came an explorer. The strangers were divided into small groups and assigned to the care of the different teachers. Before a year was over, they became thor- oughly at home in their new surroundings. After many mistakes, wrong turns, 'and arriving at classrooms late, they finally caught on to the routine of college life. With the coming of the 'next September, the group received a new name. They were called Sophomores. Many had dropped out and some new faces were added. In the third year, owing to an old educational custom, the Sophomores became Juniors. The mem- bers had now learned to apply themselves to studying and throughout the school there was a feeling of genuine Christian friendship with students and faculty alike. The most fascinating subject of their thoughts was their future. What would it be?-They were striv- ing to prepare themselves for the duties and obliga- tions that might await them. And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the class. They became Seniors and they began to take all matters more seriously. SETTLEMENT The next period, settlement, is not so easy to de- scribe. In these rapid and disturbing times, - nothing remains settled for long. All have chosen vocations and many seniors have already been placed. The lives of the seniors have been busy, and the hours of the days have been crowded, but thoughts of their college days and their friends in Union College will remain with them. The dark foreboding clouds of war changed the history of the Class of '48. Many young men were true to their country and joined with Uncle Sam in helping to make ours a better place in which to live, free from foreign dangers. But 32 veterans have returned and are helping to make the class of 1948 the largest graduating class in the history of Union College. The Central Union, as well as many other unions are well represented. The senior class is composed of members from the following states: Nebraska, 22; Minnesota, 10; 6 each from Colorado, North Dakota, Oklahoma; 5 each. from Kansas, Texas, and Iowa; 3 each from Michigan, New Mexico, South Dakota; 2 each from Louisiana, California, and Missouri; and 1 from each of the following states: Pennsylvania, Ala- bama, New York, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Maine, Indi- ana, Oregon, and Africa. outer Member ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESS SENIOR STAFF Planning Committee__: Faye Hendrick, Morten Juberg, Hjordis Grundset, Henry Rieseberg, Marjorie Cates, Byron Blecha Contributors Chester \Vahlen, Del Parkins, Branka Bogdanovich, Henry Harm, Olive Hart Jorgensen, Betty Jane Meier, Ethel Trygg, Carolyn Beckner, Walter Page, Erma Nelson Entered as second class matter at the post office at Lincoln, Nebraska, April 5, 1911, under Act of Congress March 3, 1879.

Erwin is a senior with a business major and minors in religion and history. •His hobby is photography which affords him many pleasant hours. Erwin, a congenial fellow, would like to do administrative work in a sanitarium. Glenn Rice From Iowa comes quiet, studious Glenn Rice. Glenn is majoring in biology and is planning to do some practical work in that field by gardening this sum- mer. His ambition is to attend the Col- lege of Medical Evangelists in prepara- tion for his life work as a doctor. Since his hobby is music, he has been a mem- ber of vocal quartets, hand and orchestra during his attendance at Union. Paul DuPPer Quiet, dignified Paul Dupper is a na- tive of eastern Colorado. He is getting a major in religion and plans to enter the ministry. Besides his busy activities as president of the International Relations Club, Paul likes to study birds. When he is in Colorado, his favorite sport is moun- tain climbing. Audra Ching Nebraska is the home of Audra Ching so she just makes herself at home at Un- ion College. Audra will receive a degree in secretarial science this spring with mi- nors in music and education. She says she likes all sports, but with the task of being bookkeeper in the business office, we wonder when she has time for many sports. Audra usually has a smile for everyone. William Garrison Bill is from Nebraska and plans to teach. Flis ultimate goal, however, is the position of Missionary Volunteer secre- tary. His activities in the Lincoln church should be of great help for his future work. For hobbies he claims photography, stamp collecting, riding horses and na- ture study. He likes chocolate cake and ice cream and dislikes long term papers and unfair play in games. Marvin Burbach Marvin Burbach, a married senior, came to Union from the wheatfields of western Kansas. Marvin has a major in education but his ambition is to some day be connected with an institution as a psychologist. His hobby is music and his favorite sport is swimming. Ermalee Garner Stepping into the outer office of the Personnel Department, one is greeted by the friendly smile of Ermalee from St. Louis, Missouri. As secretary to Elder Welch she is able to put into practice some of those things she has learned in her major field of secretarial training. She lists reading, basketball, and collect- ing poems as her hobbies. She was presi- dent of Upper Division K.D.L. Among other things, Ermalee likes music and likes to travel. Ruth Pitsch Friendly Ruth Pitsch is another native of Nebraska. Her well-rounded program includes three majors, secretarial training, home economics and education, with mu- sic as a hobby. Ruth has been the secre- tary of the Golden Cords and typist for the CLOCK TOWER. Winston Dennis The senior class pastor comes from Minnesota. He sang second tenor in the Gospel Heralds quartet and was Mission Band leader last semester. His two ma- jors are education and religion. Music and motion picture photography are his hobbies. Winston says he also likes cars. SENIORS ACCEPT CHALLENGE The Senior Class of 1948 has chosen as its aim, "To Answer His Call." In this world of turmoil and uncertainty when statesmen of every nation are calling fir co-operation to insure a lasting peace, Christ is calling for men and women to carry the message of a soon-coming Sa- viour to the world. The graduating class has a more spe- cific goal in mind as is evidenced by its motto, "The World's Need, Our Chal- lenge." The colors, royal purple and silver, add to the regal nature of the class choices as they point our thoughts to the King of kings for whom we are endeavoring to win souls. The class flower, the white carnation, was imported to North America in 1856, just eighteen years before the first Sev- enth-day Adventist college was estab- lished. From only a few plants in 1856, the production of carnations increased to 5,000,000 plants per year in 1937. Even the flower selected with its extensive re- production, is a challenge to each mem- ber of the Class of '48 "To Answer His Call."

The evening was spent playing games of Cootie, each person trying hard to keep the prize he was given at the beginning of the games. Refreshments of ice cream and cookies were served at the close of the pleasant evening. * About twenty Freshmen, who might have been mistaken for the early owners of the cave, spent the evening of March 27 exploring the interesting sandstone cave hideout of Jesse James and his band located on South Tenth Street. After games of "ditch 'em" and hide-and-seek, they gathered around the fire and popped corn, toasted marshmallows, and drank pop. * The Academy is now the owner of a Webster wire recorder, purchased with the money received from the benefit pro- gram given earlier in the year. The ma- chine will be used in various classrooms and departments. * The faculty, student teachers, students of the Academy, and invited guests en- joyed the annual academy banquet in the cafeteria March 31. * The Sophomores piled into cars on Saturday night, April 10, and drove out to Pioneer Park for an evening of fun. They played games, toasted marshmal- lows around a campfire, and ate potato. chips and cookies, juniors: "May every thing you get prove to be what you thought it was when you wanted it." THE SENIORS Hjordis Grundset Hjordis is one of those members of our class who have a knack with words be it either in writing or in having quick answers to the quips of her friends. Though she was born while her parents were missionaries in Nofway she has been in America most of her life and enjoys such purely American favorites as cherry malts, politics, and hand or sym- phony music. She is well known around school for the poetry she writes and the sweaters she is always knitting. Eileen Engeberg Eileen Engeberg comes from North Dakota. She is getting a B.S. in Educa- tion with a second major in biology. Her minors are religion and history. Ask her what she likes and she'll tell you, "Watching the moon come up on. the Pacific and listening to the breakers come in." She has taught school and worked as a cashier in the Glendale Sanitarium. 80 SENIORS (Continued from page 1) Agnes Marks Teaching in the primary grades is Agnes Marks' ambition.

As one gazes into the future he cannot be disturbed by thoughts of what might actually happen. Concerning chronological order of the three meditations on the future work of the members of our class, you can use your own judgment. Furthermore, it might be stated that as one reads the tales from Chicago, a rocket ship, and Tibet, one should remember that any similarity to what might actually happen is purely unintentional, no matter how appropriate it might seem. From a Newsstand in Chicago As my husband and I were on our way to Florida to visit Forest Lake Academy, we were forced to spend seven hours in Chicago while the plane in which we were traveling underwent mi- nor engine repairs. We wandered down- town and stopped at a newsstand where we could buy a paper from almost any large city in the country. After select- ing a Chicago Tribune, a Denver Post, a San Francisco Chronicle, and a New York Times, we took a bus to Lincoln Park and settled down on a park bench to murder a little time as we checked up on old friends who were in the public eye. As we began to read who should appear but Jewell Seeley, the park at- tendant. On the front page of the Post was a picture of Erma Nelson, winner of the "Walking Women Contest" sponsored by the John Baker Soap Company. Miss Nel- son received prizes totaling $19,800 fur identifying the walk of Ali9S Natalie Han- sen, famous news analyst. On the same page was an item con- cerning the establishment of a rew speed record in typing by Miss Audra Ching, world champion. Miss Ching broke her own record of 154 words per minute by raising it to 158. Just then Jorgy interrupted with a loud "Look at Herbert Hohensee! He's gone and made himself famous by writing a march called 'Green Grass Forever.' He certainly hasn't changed much except for a little more weight." An account of the heroic attempts of Hugh Meadows in saving a Chow puppy from drowning occupied a full column in the New York Times. Mr. Meadows consented to speak before a group of S.P.C.A. members about his experiences. In the society column of the Chronicle appeared a picture of Mrs. Dorthy Mor- gan with her guests at a luncheon given in honor of Mrs. Selma Bird of Seattle. Other guests included Hiss Marjorie Cates, Mrs. Lois Haas, Miss Ethelyn Orr, Miss Janis Bascom, Miss Gladys Moll, and Mrs. Vivian Buzbee. Across the page my eye caught the an- nouncement of a music recital by the students of Miss Rocelia Kegley, instruc- tor in piano and voice. Hjordis Grundset, author of My Week, made the front page of the Tribune as the guest speaker at a writer's convention. "Good," interrupted Jorgie "They found the fellows who were lost in the mountains after their airplane crashed. It says, 'after a three-day hunt, Ernest Pearson, Gerald Atkins, and Doug- las Brown were found safe in an ab4n- doned cabin.'" Conventions seemed to occupy the time of a number of old friends. Among those attending the San Francisco meeting of educators were William May, Ervin Rem- boldt, Ted Sample, Robert Dean Taylor, Ned Zacharias, and Paul Dupper. Carl Pine was one of the main speakers, and Bill Strom, with his pictures of educa- tional work in Honolulu, was an out- standing attraction at the meeting. Also in the educational line was the notice of the opening of a new nursery school for children between the ages of one and three. Miss Louesa Peters and . Miss Agnes Marks proved to be the asso- ciate superintendents of the school. "Oh say, remember that kid who used to sit by me in chapel?" Jorky asked. "His name was Buzbee. He's a doctor now, and he's invented a new kind of cream to remove freckles. It says here that he intends to work on a wart cure next." Jorgy turned to the advertising sec- tion of the Tribune for a short glance :it business and found "The Mark." In other words we mean Howard Marks' Ladies' Ready-to-wear featuring the new short- length dresses and cream-colored hose. Dr. Halbert Finnell, chiropractor, ran a large advertisement including the tes- timonies of satisfied customers. Among these we recognized the name of Rob- ert E. Firth, sales manager of J. C. Pen- ney Company. In the center of the page Hilltop House, tonic for bronchitis, asthma, sore feet, and black eyes, claimed Herbert Hill as its distributor. Then over on the next page we found a very welcome invitation to dine at Betty Jane Meier's Cafe for the "home cooking" we all love so well. This was our signal to eat, so we did so. On a Trip to the Moon The moon is a fine place. It is not every day that one has important busi- ness on the moon. Therefore, I was quite elated at the comparatively unguarded condition of the luxurious Lantry Liner, space ship de luxe. Yes, old Jay Lantry really had made a name for himself. It was not just anyone who could build a ship that used super-heated, high-com- bustion air for fuel. However, Byron Blecha, his partner in the great venture, was not inclined toward the manufactur- ing business. You ask what "King" did the rest of his life. "King" Blecha and Alden Chase are operating a booming de- partment store in Tulsa. Their specialty, as one might guess, is potato chips. Yes, they had left the ship unguarded and so their most distinguished stowaway soon crawled aboard and was safely tucked away beneath a great collection of funny looking wheels in the bow of the ship. At this time I was reminded of the three nurses in our Senior class at old Union. (As my thoughts strayed back to dear old college days, I was almost apprehended by two female "grease monkeys," Ethel Trygg and Marjorie Wearner. Of course, their official titles were "rocket engineers.") These nurses had all made quite a name for them- selves. Del Parkins is director of nursing at Johns Hopkins University, and Jean Bartling, is operating a clinic for the na- tives in western Nebraska. Just to he a bit unique Ada Hause, under the direc- tion of Dr. Ed Wyman, is working at an interstellar first-aid station between here and Jupiter. Oh, how I rue the day I ever allowed myself to be under those wheels when they all started turning at once. Well, I will console myself with the thought that my nose was always too long anyway and continue with my story. I was even- tually rescued from the machinery when the ship's captain, John McIntosh, won- dered why the ship wouldn't go over 20,000 miles an hour. He sent chief en- gineer, Earl Wilson, to find out. Mr. Wil- son was quite agitated at first, but when he saw how much better I looked with the "-ew rose," he began to act almost human. He even invited me to go in and join the guests. Yes, this was quite an experience. I joined the rest of the passengers in par- taking of Ermalee Garner's "Vitamin- burgers." At that time I seriously con- sidered sending a letter to her corpora- tion telling them that a microscope would aid in seeing the individual servings and would thus increase business. I saw the strangest sights. First, I saw Gloria Ol- son, who was at the time going to the moon to teach school, throwing sugar at Norma Wolter. Norma was going up there to work for the Calkins' Pink Cheese Corporation. Yes, Lester has real- ly dug himself a hole in the universal cheese. The company physician was Dr. Janet Campbell. Winston Dennis, we are told, preached the first sermon on the moon. Now, with the assistance of Branka Bog- ' clanobich, he is writing a book entitled The Futility of Endeavor, Vol. VI. Having given up the fight, and mak- ing a brave attempt to eliminate the ex- cess carbohydrate from his hair, was James Anderson, who offered to intro- duce me to the rest of the passengers. I was led at this time to the lounge. Over in a darkened corner we found a very interesting discussion in progress. Natalie Olson, the learned biologist who was on a research expedition sponsored by her Alma Mater, was taking notes on William Garrison's discussion of his latest experiments on controlling floods on the Sahara Desert. The discussion was quite interesting un'ess o^e listened, so I saun- tered over to hear Carolyn Beckner, a noted child psychologist, praising Faye Hendrick, on her new book which she had labored over for many years. Her hook was entitled The Life and Work of James Folsom. Folsom was a great lib- eral democrat of her college days. As she was autographing a copy of the book for Goldie Calkins, who was making this trip to he with her husband, the "cheese king," another passenger approached and desired to know why such a hook was ever written. Eileen Engeberg claimed that Mr. Folsom wouldn't be made tem- porary governor of the moon anyway. She maintained that a stalwart son of Union like Marvin Burbach would be just the man for the job. Ruth Pitsch, Miss Hendricks' private secretary, sprang to the defense of Mr. Folsom. A heated controversy followed in which all who didn't know any better partook. To quiet the disturbance, a musical program was begun. Clarence Wiltse, a great concert pianist, played on the atomic-powered piano, a stirring number entitled "Concerto in C Flat Interme- diate Sub-Norma" by somebody. After repairing the piano there followed a mag- nificent rendition of "Moon-y Medita- tions" by 1,4ne Timothy and Frances Chamberlain, noted television singers of the day. With an undescribable feeling pervad- ing my spirits, I sat solemnly down at a table with Willard Hunter, who was oblivious to all of the proceedings of the past few minutes. As together we at- tempted to solve the everlasting scien- tific problem of the discovery of a method to synthesize something from nothing, we gradually, and in a definitely pleas- urable manner, assumed the recognized characteristics of insanity. From the Cove of a Hermit It is now nearly 10 years after the great atomic war that began 3:30 p.m. November 21, 1958. By 4:17, western civilization had been almost completely destroyed, with the exception of a small band of Union College graduates attend- ing a reunion of the class of '48, which was being held in Tibet because of the lower hotel rates there. When they real- ized that they were the last remnants of the wor'd's inhahitarts, they immediately set about the task of reproducing the cu'Aure which had been destroyed. When the people began to form a government, it was decided that it should be democratic in form. However, a disa- greement arose as to the meaning of "democratic." This problem was settled SI DAVENPORT BARBER FINE WATCH REPAIRING by Mr. Albert Weiss at MORSE'S by Mr. Robert Cleveland, who claimed to be a Democrat from 'way back before the war. This precipitated a debate be- tween Mr. Cleveland and Keith Wheeler, which finally ended when Keith lectured for three hours on irrigation in Nebraska, putting everyone to sleep. It was then suggested that an election be held to select a leader for the -government, but this failed when everyone voted for him- self except three, who picked Wallace. By the sixth ballot all but George "Smo- ky" Thomson and Bill Rankin had been eliminated. Mr. Rankin campaigned on a platform promising progress, but the peo- ple had seen enough of progress and elected "Smoky" who, when questioned about the issue, declared he was "agin' it." Eugene Taylor was heard to ask what he was against, and Mr. Thomson ap- pointed Morten Juberg as the director of the Bureau of Worthless Information to answer all questions of this nature. With civic affairs settled, there was a revival of interest in scientific matters. Bernard Furst, a noted astronomer in the pre-atomic era, had formulated a theory concerning the eccentricity of the moon's orbit. After extensive observation he claimed to have discovered the moon in a new position, but calculations made by Myrna Wiltse proved that the object was somewhat smaller than the moon. An investigation conducted by Charles De- Haan found that it was only the bald dome of Walt Page, who had ascended a near-by mountain in search'of unusual plant or animal life, but had only be- come lost. Frank Shafer, who had climbed up the other side of the moon- taro on the same mission, was more suc- cessful. He found Walter. It was not long until science ap- proached the level it had reached before the war, and Clifford Uffindell announced that he had rediscovered the secret of nuclear fission. Immediately, Robert Mc- Manaman, president of the American Volleyball Association, branded him a menace to society, and as a result of Mr. McManaman's efforts, all research was declared illegal. Kenneth Burden was forced to discontinue his attempts to de- hydrate water so he took a position as business ma"ager of Harry Haas' mobile dust mop factory. The mobile dust mop is adapted from the pre-war "New Look" and enables one to dust the floor by merely walking around. Let it not be said that culture has been neglected in the new civilization. The recent literary work, "The Intellec- tual Superiority of Red-headed Persons" tI by Blossom Church has aroused heated discussion, but it is conceded by all to be the best work of its kind. In fact, it's the only work of its kind. As the setting sun brings to a close this beautiful spring day in 1968, the strains of beautiful music echo from the moun- tainside. Stanley Kirk and Glenn Rice ably directed by Chester Wahlen, are playing "The Little Red Caboose" back- wards. Mr. Rice's execution is hampered by the fact that his trombone slide is stuck in a position allowing him to play only El-, but Mr. Wahlen fills in the gaps admirably with improvisations on the bassoon. Mr. Kirk's cornet solos are be- ing featured by the Scottsbluff Philhar- monic Orchestra.
