Union Joins Nation in Mourning the Death of President Roosevelt tor cr VOL. XX UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN 6, NEBRASKA, APRIL 13, 1945 N. 1:3 I CAMPAIGN NEARS CLOSE-410,000 IN Post-War Rehabilitation We seem to be suspended in space be- tween two worlds: one just behind us still shooting it out even though the out- come is no longer in doubt; the other, a roseate one, just ahead. But, of course, we have neither left the one, nor arrived at the other. There is still much hard fighting before the slaughter ceases; and even victory will not bring immediate surcease from sacrifices and sorrowful suffering. Millions will go on starving and dying of disease for months to come; whole populations must be restored to homelands from which they were forcibly taken; the war-sick soldiers cannot all return home immediately; the homeless must have homes; the rubble of blasted cities must be leveled; highways, railroads and shipping lines will need to be re- stored; bridges, docks, dams for power, communications, schools, parks, churches, all the cultural and physical accumula- tions of civilization cry for restoration; farms must be restored, refurnished and reseeded—what a monstrous calamity is war, when so much can be destroyed in so short a time and debts be piled moun- tain high over the generations of the future. A whole globe needs rehabilita- tion! Parties, skating, "feeds" in the spread room, croquet games, washing, ironing, spring cleaning, studying, and just resting are some of the various ways in which v icaton time was spent by students on the campus. Some sped home for a brief visit. thers were fortunate in having their irents visit them. A few spent the holi- iys in the village with friends or rela- VCS. The concert by Alec Templeton was ttcnded by most students in Lincoln on le first night of the vacation. Juniors Enjoy Easter Jaunt The invitation read, "A car will call for you at 8:15 on the porch of North Hall." We were out on the porch waiting! Waiting! All of a sudden a boy's voice sang out, "All aboard! Right this way, folks; no crowding or pushing," and Daryl Ogden in a tiny car had arrived to provide transportation. This "fresh-air taxi" had only one handicap, and that was the fact that it would only accommo- date one passenger. Even if this was quite a "let down", the Juniors took it in the spirit of the day and silently wondered what to expect next. However, the rest of the party proved very delightful and not the least hit disillusioning. The group formed a circle and played a "get-acquainted" game to commence the evening. Introductions, using the per- son's initials as the first letters of des- criptive words were given about each one —for example, Stacia Alexanko, Sweet and Amiable, and Lawrence Nels Boyd, Little Naughty Boy. The_ Easter bonnet parade was cer- tainly colorful, if not artistic. The bonnets were made from crepe paper. Carol Kvinge won the prize for having made the most modernistic one. The guests were divided into five groups and given four minutes to compose an Easter greeting from alphabetical mac- aroni. The greetings were all clever, so the prize was distributed to every one ( candy Easter eggs). One of the greet- ings said, "Easter comes but once a year, So be my Easter bunnie, dear. " (Continued on page 4) Students Hear Templeton All the students of Union College were privileged to hear Alec Templeton, blind pianist, in concert at the University Coliseum as a program in the Lincoln Symphony series. Arrangements were made through the college lyceum course. Alec Templeton, famed radio star, pre- sented a serious classic concert as the first half of his program. The second half consisted of portions of radio acts for which he is famous—"Counod weds Nola," "Handel with Care," and improvisations on combinations of notes or tunes given by the audience. Dr. Aitken Lectures On Robert Burns A very delightful discourse upon the life and works of Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, was given in chapel on April 9 by Dr. Walter Aitken. Dr. Aitken spent his earlier life in Scot- land, then came to this country when yet in early manhood. He served as pas- tor of the St. Paul's 'Methodist Church of Lincoln for 22 years. Since retirement, he has been lecturing and serving as an inter-denominational clergyman. Dr. Aitken said that Burns influenced Scotland during his time perhaps more than any other man. Burns' wit, humor, and sentiment were well expressed in the selections of poetry which were read. The lecture was sponsored by the Traveler's Club. Southwest Over Goal Field Day Swells Total The latest campaign report, taken Wed- nesday, places the present total at $10,- 819, with a gain of $3,800 for the week. Rejoicing of the Southwestern Union was almost unlimited when it was an- nounced that their goal had been reached. In the last student campaign for raising money, 1942, the Southwest was also the first group to reach the top. Wind and snow and generally fore- boding conditions did not chill the spirits of the North Hall solicitors on April 4, on which field day the campaign total was raised to $7,006 with nearly 100% of the young women of North Hall engaged in soliciting or useful labor, and the young men also taking an active part through campus labor, the day's "holiday" from school was well worthwhile. Billy Bob Widener's band from the academy had the honor of turning in the largest fund as a result of field day. The Texas group are the second to be over their goal. Colorado, as you remem- ber, was the first to go over. Other groups which have now reached their goals are Nebraska and the academy. Friday, April 13 7:45 p. m. Vespers — ELDER jERE SMITH, Iowa Conference Presi- Six Evangelistic Efforts Under Way 0 p ti a tl It is hardly surprising that every nation 4 wishes to' steer the world in a direction favorable to its interests. We shall have much more rumor about the inability of responsible nations to agree with each other; many repercussions as interests clash; and unreasoning fear that an era of peaceful security can never be grasped. The responsible observer must critically sift the grains of truth from the chaff and educate the multitude to follow reason, not prejudice; to be tolerant of the opin- ions of other races, creeds and colors. In such a spirit San Francisco's Golden Gate will become a figurative synonym of future well-being. Various Pursuits Occupy Brief Vacation Spring vacation, April 5-8, passed all too quickly for the students at Union , College. Captain Oswald approached the burning wreckage and pulled a disabled pilot out of it. When they were but a few feet from the plane, the bomb-load exploded, killing Captain Oswald instantly. After finishing his pre-medical course at Union, Captain Oswald studied medi- cine at the College of Medical Evangelists in Loma Linda. He was graduated there in May, 1941, and soon thereafter was called to the service. He was well liked by all of his men, and is especially remembered by his friends for his loyalty to God as well as his country. . • College students who plan to teach in secondary schools receive their initial teaching experience in the college acade- my. They are under the supervision of one of the academy teachers, whose duty it is to point out their errors and initiate them into the profession. One of these teachers is Miss 'Elizabeth Cowdrick, English instructor, whose enthusiasm for her work has made the study of verbs, infinitives, and literature more enjoyable for her students. Does she like to have student teachers in her classes? Oh, yes. But, she will tell you that she enjoys teaching so much herself that it is hard for her to sit back and let a student do the teaching, es- pecially in a literature class. "If I know some interesting little anecdote about an author or poem, it is hard for me to sit in the class without interrupting and telling it; and yet I know I should let the student teacher handle the lesson her own way. The first few years during which I was a supervisor, I was actually under a nervous tension when a student was teaching. But not any more. It isn't good for me." Miss Cowdrick admits she , gets a cer- tain amount of help from student teach- ers, although counselling them makes more work for her than doing the actual teaching. "I see them dairig things in the classroom that I know aren't correct, yet I know I do some of those things myself. Or sometimes they introduce new methods or devices of approach that are good.

This statement made by a chapel speaker some time ago, recurs in my mind at frequent intervals. Will you not consider it for a moment, too? Of course we at Union are willing to do good purely for its own sake— and yet, do we not really expect recognition for the same? "Talent is too much idolized, and station too much coveted. There are too many who will do nothing unless they are recognized as leaders; too many who must receive praise, or they have no interest to labor." Is this forcible statement from the book Education justified? "What we need to learn," the passage continues, "is faithfulness in making the utmost of the powers and opportunities we have, and content- ment in the lot to which heaven assigns us." What if there are no trumpets sounding, no lauditory remarks, no signs of gratitude or praise? Remember that no deed of unselfish service escapes the notice of those who keep the gilt-edged records in heaven, and none shall be without its due recompense in the end. J. G. ,Getter to Sditor Dear Editor: I am writing to ask you one question, and am asking for a reply. I attended Union College from 1908 to 1916 . . . Union College makes a profession of being a Christian school and its publications are supposed to represent the spirit of the school. This is the question I would like answered. Why, on page 1, column 1, the choice spot of the publication, are you always dealing with war, mass murder, and barbarism? If yours is a publication of a Christian school, why don't you deal with religion only? There is a book of philosophy that teaches people to do for others what they want done themselves; it also teaches you to love your enemies and do good for them that hate you. Yet a Christian publication gives its number one spot to the discussions of those who believe in 'dictatorship and mass murder. Francis M. Moore, Los Angeles, California Editor's Note: Union College not only professes to be a Christian school, but also gives concrete evidence of living up to its profession. Mr. Moore is correct in expecting the publication "to represent the spirit of the school." The purpose of our "current events" column is to aid in keeping the students informed concerning world news today—a topic on which the in- formational store of many is very inadequate. Surveys have proved this fact, and we therefore feel thoroughly justified in devoting a column for such a purpose. If, however, the column is not accomplishing its purpose, the matter is of importance to the paper. "The choice spot of the publica- tion" is the right-hand column (not the left, as intimated) and is reserved for college news. The reason for the publication of this letter is to determine whether others feel similarly about the subject. We are concerned that the CLocit TOWER shall rightly represent Union College. What is your reaction? "Why don't you deal with religion only?" While we believe that re- ligion is of first importance, and that, if genuine, it will enter every phase of life, we also realize that these other phases still exist and are of impor- tance. The CLOCK TOWER is a newspaper and not a religious journal. Nevertheless, we have not forgotten the primary religious purpose of our college, which has brought us here and which we intend always to uphold. Ambitious Freshmen Enjoy Sunrise Breakfast at Antelope 5:30 a. m., April 1, found a group of Freshmen waiting patiently for the truck which was to take them to Antelope Park for an early morning breakfast. (No re- marks about "April fools," please.) Wood was collected on their arrival and fires were built while some students prepared the food. Volunteers were ap- pointed to watch the potatoes frying and scrambled eggs cooking over the fires. 'Meanwhile, those not otherwise en- gaged began to play games, and others inspected the surroundings in the hope that maybe someone had hidden Easter eggs. In this they were disappointed. When all was ready, the hungry Fresh- men obtained their food cafeteria style. It consisted of an abundance of hot cocoa, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, buttered buns, pickles, and oranges. Due to pending businesses, the happy but tired-looking group returned to take up the activities of the day at 8:00. (Professor Beaven helped prepare the food. No wonder it was so good.) "Typing For Victory A challenge was given to the members of Beta Kappa Tuesday evening, April 3, when the technicolor film, "Typing for Victory," was shown.

There is an increasing trend toward faster eating in the Cafeteria. The aver- age diner considers himself unlucky if he is required to spend more than fifteen minutes in the dining room. It is a disquieting sight that greets your eyes when you look up from giving thanks. Half of your dining companions, fork in hand, glare at you with a look that says, "Why doesn't that fool hurry up and eat?" You grow more nervous as the minutes tick by; you think—Must hurry, don't want to be last again today. You continue to eat, gobbling your food in a manner you know will cause gastro- nomic disturbances. One by one your companions adjust their desert dishes, rest both elbows on the edge of the table, and stare. Amid rising temperature you make three or four bungling attempts at guiding your bean laden fork, and finally you sadly push your half-empty plate aside. You attempt a spoonful of rice pudding,—but wait, the chairs are, al- ready being pushed away from your table. You drop your spoon, clutch the napkin, and stumble to your feet with a sickly smile on your face. Oh well, you don't feel well anyway. Were the College Cafeteria primarily for tramps and hobos, it would make no difference; but for college students ( after 12 years of education and still longer contact with civilization) to have dining habits that are progressively worse than the lowly Hotentot! It is disgusting! What can we expect in the future? Will the students come to resemble pigs at the barnyard swill-barrel, gorging as much as they can, as fast as they can? "QUOTABLES" "I-Ic preaches well that lives well."

Oswald, who com- pleted his pre-medical course at Union and received a bachelor of science degree, was killed while performing an act of bravery on February 24, 1945. Captain Oswald entered the national service in 1942 as flight surgeon. He was soon transferred overseas where he served for 22 months. Twice during this period he was decorated for valor and bravery. He was commended for meritorious achievement and received the soldier's medal for heroism. On the morning of February 24, in an attempted take-off a plane crashed. The Troubles and Triumphs of a Critic Teacher An Interview with Miss Cowdrick are different from mine, and they can put new light on the subject matter. It's an inspiration to watch student teachers." When asked what the worst handicap of the student teacher was, she answered, "Lack of background. Students often have not had to meet enough require- ments in college. As a result, they are so glued to their notes that they read everything and are not prepared to answer voluntary questions for the class. I had one teacher, who, every time a question was asked, would glance at me, expecting me to answer. I have had to teach some teachers almost everything before they could appear before the class." *- Besides howledge, Miss Cowdrick thinks the student teacher should show enthusiasm for her work, because the class reacts to the teacher's attitude. Stu- dents prefer a brisk, cheerful teacher, rather than one with a mild manner and low voice. Miss Cowdrick went so far as to say that persons without enthusiasm and love for their work should not plan to teach. "However," she said, "it's hard to draw the line between those who like teaching and don't show it, and those who don't like it at all." Miss Cowdrick would rather work with student teachers who definitely plan to teach, than with those who think only that they might have to teach. The form- er have much more interest in their work. The student should look into the future and see whether she really intends to teach. It is detremental to students to have an indifferent teacher. "How do students react to my criti- cisms? They have always taken them very well, Sometimes I hesitate to criticize a. fault that has become such a definite part of a person that criticism would do no good. Nevertheless, the student teach- I er must be careful of her grammar, spell- ing, and pronunciation, for pupils arc quick to notice mistakes. Some of the student teachers have been the object of laughter and ridicule among the pupils. And there are always some who will deliberately try to trip up the teacher with questions. In such cases, it is better to ask the supervisor than to bluff, for a bluff (Continued on page 4) James Mershon '45 Orvin Fillman '46 — _____________ _____ Walter Webb '46 Ruth Mitchell '45 Adrian Woods '45 Prudence Ortner '47 H.

They quarreled as they worked. When someone knocked and brother went to see who the visitor was, Woodrow washed and hid some plates so that he could get his end of the job done first. Brother re- turned and worked hurriedly, but when Woodie brought out the concealed plates, brother could see his place in the race was hopeless. Then the fight began; but it didn't last long, because mother was near-by and settled the argument in her 1 own way. Woodrow also dislikes carrot roast, 7:45 classes, and running errands to the grocery store. However, he is usually very good-natured and enjoys life im- mensely, especially when there's choco- late pie, strawberries, or ice cream on the table, or if it's swimming, fishing, boating, or tennis-playing season. A religion major and history minor, Mr. Larsen hopes to be a good minister and sometime a foreign missionary. Lawrence Rahn One of Union's favorite singers, Law- rence Rahn, comes from a farm near Council Bluffs, Iowa. He didn't have to go away any place to attend school, for his mother taught him and his two sisters at home until they were in the tenth grade. After that he hitch-hiked 15 miles each day into Omaha to attend Pratt school of Individual Instruction, from which he graduated in 1939 with honors. Although Lawrence is quite intellec- tual, he confesses 'being really "stuck" once. Yes-sirree! 'His little pup crawled through a tiny opening under the porch one day when Lawrence wanted to play with him. The boy proceeded, with effort, to follow his animal pet — only to get stuck in the hole. After some straining, grunting, exhaling, and pulling, he was finally rescued. Mr. Rahn 'believes that improper re- marks in public meetings are his biggest "bug-bear" while classical music and inspiring speakers give him greatest pleasure. Singing in the male quartet and wood-working are his hobbies. 'Lawrence graduates with a major in religion and minors in history and speech. He will begin his internship this summer. Lawrence wants to take advance work at the seminary after he has gained some practical experience, and then, perhaps, return to Union College as a teacher. Albert Neil Having visited two-thirds of the 48 states, Canada, and Mexico, Albert Neil, it must be admitted, is one of the most traveled persons in the class. He received his education in Pennsyl- vania ( where he was born), Texas, New Mexico, and the last three years at Union. Albert had his streak of stubbornness taken out of him when he was in the eighth grade. The teacher caught him passing a note to (?), and pro- ceeded to punish him with a rubber hose, After the teacher, finally exhausted, threatened to send him to the principal's office, Albert promised he would not "do it again." Young Mr. 'Neil's ambition was to be- come a locomotive engineer, doctor, law- yer, or preacher. Since he is now graduat- ing with a major in religion and minors in history and speech, it looks as though he'll be a preacher. Albert very much dislikes gossip, wild imagination (such as Orsen Welles'), "snobs", trig, algebra, and English litera- ture. On the other hand he likes sincere people, sleep, and riding or walking in the rain. He says nature on a rampage is much more interesting than on good be- havior, and he is therefore elated when an electric storm occurs. Albert's hobbies are observing people and reading. Donald Madison Don Madison has lived at College View off and on several times during his life. When only a few weeks old, Don came to College View with his parents while his father attended Union College. After moving to Hutchinson, 'Minnesota, he came back to College View and his father worked as an accountant. He next lived Elmer Jackson A glimpse into the life of another Sen- ior, Elmer Jackson, will reveal that he was raised near Drumright, Oklahoma. He spent three years studying at the Ok- lahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege, and since 1942 has 'been attending Union College. Elmer has a deep appreciation of nature, and the touch of a Dr. Carver with flowers. When a little boy, he would carefully pluck flowers along the path through the woods on his way to school for his teacher. Every summer Elmer raised his own garden and sold vegetables. He has a bee for selling. Yes! he sold $1,200 worth of books last summer in four weeks. Speaking of "B's", they are natural to Elmer. When four years old he counted "one, bwo, bee, hour, hive," etc. He is in not only the "B" group but the "A's" as well when it comes to grade reports. Elmer's hobbies are flowers, gardening, and selling. He enjoys life in general, and nothing is too disagreeable to him. Mr. Jackson graduates this spring with a major in religion and minors in history and chemistry. He plans to canvass in Colorado this summer, and enter Loma Linda to study medicine this fall. His ambition is to become one of the best medical missionaries. Ray Wing Nebraska is home to Ray Wing, who was born in Buffalo County. After gradu- ating from high school he took a short course at the Nebraska College of Agri- culture. Changing his course (although still staying in Nebraska), he later came to Union College to study for the minis- try. Baseball, swimming, skating, good books and music, ice cream, and cherry pie arc tops on Ray's list of "pleasurables." Irreverance, perverication, gossip and dis- obedience in children are "below freez- ing" in his estimation. For personal amusement he finds metalcraft and wood- craft satisfactory. While still a youngster, Ray learned that "snooping" is not a profitable ac- tivity. He was exploring the site of an old building, pulling out tumbled brick, when buzz--out came an angry bee to punish the intruder. Ray's hand gave evidence of the "punishment" for several days. Mr. Wing's noble ambition is to help souls prepare for the kingdom. He is going to Missouri this summer to start fulfilling this purpose. Fred Schultz Fred Schultz was born at Salina, Kan- sas. His southern dialect is due to the fact that he moved south with his parents when he was only 14. He has lived in Kansas, Texas, and Tennessee, as well as Nebraska. His parents operated a private sanitarium in Tennessee. Fred completed academy and two years of college at Southwestern Junior College. Right now Fred's attention has been largely diverted from other things to working on the new Science Building. He hopes to see it completed before he leaves in the spring ( and with the roof already completed it looks as if he may have his hopes realized). He enjoys soft ball, swimming, and playing with his husky year-old-son-- "Freddie." His only pet peeve is to hear a perfectly fine sermon ruined by having a long, drawn-out campaign "tacked on" to the end of it. Fred's ambition has always been to be- come a good and efficient minister in the cause of God. After graduating with his religion major and history minor this spring, Mr. Schultz will return to the South to begin his ministerial internship. Harley Schander The college Sabbath School Superin- tendent is Ilarley Schander, senior from Heaton, North Dakota. Harley was born and raised on a farm. Mr. Schander is quite sure that "noth- ing funny ever happened to me." Of course he wouldn't mention the time old bossy upset him quite unannounced in the gutter. Perhaps it wasn't funny to Harley, but his friends see humor in the incident. Harley, like all men, likes cookies, and cool summer nights and good music. His pet peeves are hot weather, noisy people, and irreverance. In his spare time he reads biographies and collects stamps. Harley wants to be a pastor of a church. He graduated from Sheyenne River Academy, and will graduate from Union College this spring with a double major— religion and history. 38 Days Till Graduation 4 Weeks Till Finals (A Gentle Reminder) Prep Notes Something new has been added! Starting from last Monday you will notice the academy seniors displaying their colors, navy blue and white. The girls worked hard to prepare their at- tractive sport ensembles, which consist of a navy blue jacket and a full white pleated skirt. The 'boys did a little shop- ping and are finally getting organized with white sleevless slip-over sweaters and navy blue ties and trousers. The class will wear their outfits quite regularly, so watch the Seniors go by! Looking into the future a little, I see a Junior-Senior banquet coming up about Wednesday. By the time you read this, it will be a thing of the past, but as it is yet future to me, I can merely contem- plate. And since I am a Senior, I probably know less about it than anyone else in the whole school; the Juniors see to that. But judging by the secret conventions held in hall corners the past few days, and knowing the ambitious Juniors as I do, I can safely predict an event well worthy to he remembered. A couple of weeks ago the academy chemistry class gave a demonstration to the rest of the academy group during a chapel hour. Several experiments were performed to show that chemistry is not all big words, formulas, and hard work, but a lot of fun as well. 'After the intro- duction by Gene Aaby, a self-inflating balloon was demonstrated by one class member. Another burned Mr. Holmes' hat and then returned it unharmed. Some- one poured milk, wine, lemon juice, and ink out of the same 'bottle, while a strip of fire was obediently cutting the face of a man out of paper. Altogether, it was a very interesting and informative hour. I guess this winds up the academy news this time, so until next, so long.

A noble am- bition of 'Mrs. McHenry's is to be a good homemaker. Woodrow Larsen Guess who of the Senior Class was reared in southern Louisiana on an island that reaches out into the gulf of Mexico? Why, Woodrow Larsen—that dimpled, blue-eyed, curly-headed boy! Every day he had the experience of riding in a boat •to school. After 16 years, he gave this up as a good practice and moved farther "inland." He completed his high school course, went to Keene two years, entered 0 Emmanuel 'Missionary College for one year, and at last came to Union College. 'Believe it or not: "Woodie" does not have a hobby. Woodie has a good reason for abhoring the domestic art of dish-washing. When he was still very young, his mother would make him and his younger brother do the dishes. One day it fell Woodie's By Mildred Olson on a farm in Iowa, where he enjoyed help- ing Dad raise pure-bred stock. On the farm Don's life was exciting. One time his pony threw him, and Don landed on a barbed wire fence. It took some assistance to unhook him as pain- lessly as possible from the barbs. The time came when Don entered Union College as a student. But depres- sion struck, and lack of finances forced him to return to the farm. However, two years ago Don and his family (a lively eight-year old son and beautiful six-year old daughter) returned to Union College. Mr. Madison will graduate from Union with a major in religion and minor in history. He likes many things—good food, especially, and he claims his wife knows how to provide that. He will start interning in the Nebraska Conference this summer.

As such it is my• duty to attend to all the clerical work in the office, drive and maintain the chaplain's jeep, maintain and arrange the chapel for services, and help arrange and play for services. The work is made likeable mainly through the kindness and understanding of my boss. He is a Lutheran minister in civilian life, well acquainted with the work of our people. It's inspiring to help work with the boys here, watch interest in spiritual things grow with time, and all of that. We have a group of boys who go apart every evening for Bible study and prayer, and truly their lives are a witness for Jesus." T/4 Don Altman writes: "I've been having a very interesting time here in France.

Re- • cently one of the patients came down where he was working and asked if he knew how he could get the rest of the set. He had read Desire of Ages but could never find the rest of the set checked in. Seeing the boy's name inside the cover, he looked him up. He ordered a full set to be sent to his mother. I guess those book drives will produce a great deal of fruit before the books go into a box to be stored for the next war." Speahios 9 Had you heard that Dr. Hause's Eng- lish History class enjoyed malts last Thursday during the last half of the class period? You understand the malts were Dutch—except Dr. Hause's. But that's another story. "Round the Clock" Dress Revue was presented in Kappa Theta in a very at- tractive manner last Tuesday evening. One of the "models" Betty Jaynes, demon- strated the correct attire of a girl doing "homey chores" such as dish-washing and dish drying. Maybe Betty is prac- ticing up on her ability. Right, Betty? JP JP JP It really is a shame that Eileen May- berry didn't bring back two little chairs from California so President Cossentine could have bought one and Lila Davis the other. Lila has spent considerable time in the lobby admiring and testing the ability of the chair. Lila, maybe Presi- dent will let you sit in it down at his house. The proceeds from this noted chair go toward the campaign. 11 It seems good to have Midge Kaldahl in North Hall again. For the past few days she has been in one of the Lincoln hospitals, having undergone a minor operation. JP .1P 51 Dick Pyles, a former Unionite and navy man, has been visiting Union and he has been a real source of pleasure to several people. Have you seen that airplane circling Lincoln? Well, that's Dick pilot- ing a plane and giving pleasure to several Unionites. We'll be looking forward to having Dick here next year. 5P Olivet Atwood, Florence Bernhardt, Betty and Grace Burke have enjoyed visits from their mothers recently. The Burke sisters and Harriette Sherard have been doubly blessed by having their dads come, too.

She was lead- ing the singing the other evening in wor- ship and for some reason she continued beating time after we had finished the last stanza. Fortunately the pianist came to her rescue and told her the song had ended. Sing along with the group next time. That might be one solution. Critic Teacher Con't. is always recognized. No one teacher knows everything, and generally, pupils realize the position that the student teach- er is in." Pupils observe the teacher not only in the classroom, but anywhere she may be seen on the campus. A teacher must al- ways be careful of her conduct and dress, for she is always under observation. Furthermore, the students should feel responsible for all classroom conduct when she teaches. She will meet prob- lems, -but she should not ignore them. It is better for her to do the wrong thing occasionally, than to do nothing. "But how about the student's grades?" "Oh, well, at the time the student teacher begins teaching, there is a tem- porary slowing-down, but lost time is soon made up. Board of Regents' examinations show equality and sometimes superiority of classes under a student teacher as compared with others. These students are teaching mainly because they are inter- ested. Moreover, they are working for a grade, and most will put forth extra effort. These students lend variety to the class." To conclude the discussion of student teachers, this critic teacher offered three characteristics as necessary to a good teacher, in order of their importance: en- thusiasm and interest, knowledge of sub- ject, and originality. Junior Party Continued Each guest was given a sheet of paper with instructions for filling in the blanks with certain letters. When it was finished this sentence was spelled out: "Refreshments are ready." The refreshments were pretty to look at, and delightful to taste as well. White cake with green frosting was served with cherry punch. Thanking the Ogdens for such a pleas- ant evening, the Juniors reluctantly re- turned home without the aid of their "fresh-air taxi."
