MA President Anderson Addresses Convention "Do you know why you are here? Do you know where you are go- ing?" Elder R. A. Anderson, presi- dent of the Ministerial Association of the General Conference, put these questions to the upper divi- sion students of Union College in the chapel program of November 29. In his inspirational talk Elder Anderson stressed the need of liv- ing a life that will challenge us each day. Lessons were drawn from the eleventh and twelfth chapters of Hebrews. "Your life must be a translation of our Lord," he said. He also re- minded the students that they will never have an abundant life unless they are willing to stand for what is right. It was the joy of the reward that kept our Saviour in that dark hour was one of his closing remarks.. KVUC Revived on Ether The Union College broadcasting system is in operation once more. The station, KVUC, is on the air Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and on Fri- days from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Arrangements have been made to put the programs over the loud- speakers in the cafeteria, so the stu- dents can listen to them while eat- ing lunch. Mark Dickinson is the station manager. COMING EVENTS Clubs E. A. Trumper S. S. Workshop Features Harris Elder William J. Harris, associ- ate Sabbath School secretary for the General Conference, spent the week end at Union College in workshop demonstrations. Friday evening, November 21, Elder Har- ris spoke in the Lincoln town church. Sabbath morning, Novem- ber 22, he spoke at both College View morning services and spent the afternoon in a Sabbath School workshop for the nine churches of Beatrice, Fairbury, Nebraska City, Falls City, Seward, York, University Place, Lincoln, and Col- lege View. Over 1000 people at- tended the afternoon demonstra- tions. Elder Harris declared, "This is the largest crowd I have ever had for a Sabbath School work- shop." Much delight and appreci- ation was expressed because of the very large turnout. Monday evening Elder Harris demonstrated his Sabbath School techniques to die Ministerial Stu- dents' Wives of Union College. Tuesday through Thursday Elder Harris shared the speaking ap- pointments with Elder R. A. An- derson of the General Conference Ministerial Department before the entire working force of the Ne- braska Conference and the Union College student body. Rhodes Produces Handel Oratorio Handel's Messiah is to be given Friday evening, December 19, at the Union College auditorium. Di- recting the chorus will be J.

Wallen- kampf December 19 The Messiah "Silent Bands" to Solicit in Omaha Tuesday evening, December 16, fifty cars will go to Omaha for an Ingathering field night. The cars will be made up of students and faculty and will solicit the residen- tial district for about three hours. Elders T. H. Weis and J. J. William- son claim great success for "silent bands" working at night in this way. The plan is to raise $2,000 in the one night. Student Ensembles Provide Musical Selections College View Church Ingathering Launched The Ingathering for 1953 has been started with a total goal of $16,400 for the combined groups in College View. "Caroling for Christ" in the singing bands in the evenings seems to be the best way before Christmas for soliciting funds. At least five bands are ex- pected out each night, especially during December 20-24. Every member of the S.D.A. College View Church is working in one of the following groups. GROUP GOAL . Community (all those not attached to other groups listed) $7,500.00 College 6.000.00 Nebraska Conference Office Friday evening, December 5, was the date of the annual capping for the Union College School of Nurs- ing. The services were held in the Boulder Seventh-day Adventist Church. Mr. Earl Greely, R. N, head of the men's physical therapy depart- ment of the Boulder Sanitarium, gave the invocation. Following the invocation, a triple trio from the sophomore class sang "I Shall Not Pass Again This Way." An inspirational address was given by Miss Pauline Neal, a for- mer missionary nurse in the Orient. She told of the many fields open in nursing both at home and abroad. The address was followed by an instrumental quartet which played "God of Our Fathers." The Class of '55 then experienced the thrill of being capped by upper classmen, lighting their lamps, and taking the Nightingale Pledge, thereby devoting themselves to the service of God and man. With the singing of "I Will Give of My Best to the Master," the sophomore stu- dent nurses marched up the aisle, having passed another milestone on their way to a worthy goal. Former UC Student Is Honor Soldier 750.00 675.00 575.00 500.00 Elai ne Berglin, Ruth Beans, and Sue Olson perform on their marimbas at student talent program. Male quartets and instrumental groups were featured in the student talent program of November 22 held in the college auditorium. The three male quartets were comprised of Dale Chaffee, La- Verne Opp, Fred Speyer, and Ralph Watts; Winslow Ellis, Bar- ney Camunez, Wendell Lacy, and Orlie Curtis; Milton Woodsen, Sam DeShay, Raymond Davis, and Le- Roy Bookhardt. Instrumental numbers featured a string quartet consisting of Kwang Soon Suh, Don McPherson, Cor- inne Deming, and Otto Krotz; a flute trio by Lloyd Wenzel, Marilyn Dart, and DeWayne Rhodes; an electric guitar duet by LeRoy Wy- att and Jim Wilmot; and a marimba trio by Ruth Beans, Elaine Berglin, and Sue Olson. Daina Ramey sang "Italian Street Song" with the combined male quartets furnishing background music as the climaxing number. Central Union Office Academy Elementary School Christian Record Office 400.00 Since this year is the fiftieth an- niversary for the Ingathering pro- gram begun by Jasper Wayne, there is a special "Jasper Wayne Award" to be given all who are responsible for the raising of $130. The minute man goal this year is just a few cents under $20. Spe- cial recognition is to be given to the minute men, both junior and senior, every Sabbath as they reach their goals. The college field day last Octo- ber was a part of the 1953 Ingath- ering, and the amount raised by the students has already applied toward their goal.

Of course this advice isn't to those "brains" on the dean's honor roll. Here are three more rules from the book How to Make Grades and Influence Teachers. 2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly. If you look at your watch don't stare at it and unbelievingly shake it. 3. Nod frequently and murmer, "How true!" 4. Sit in front, near him. (This applies only if you intend to stay awake.) & Bette Jewell Lenz held up her hand the other night when Elder Sundin asked to see the hands of the pre-meds thinking he said "pre- weds." 2L Some students, girls to be more specific, wonder why an honor system couldn't be set up concerning the hour of coming in for the mature young ladies. It isn't that coeds want to stay out until the wee hours of the morning. They merely want to be treated like mature college women. Many girls have said they wouldn't stay out until the last minute if they knew they didn't have to be in. 'A We wont to present a bouquet to those kind people who opened their homes to the students who couldn't go home during Thanks- giving vacation. We, the student body, wish to remind committee members that their place is at the meetings when they convene. The students elected you to represent them so please have some honor about yourself and resign if you don't plan to attend meetings and speak for the students. Set- your cap for nursing. Proud Laurence Stacey is capped by upper-classman Betty Sherman. n One rjCc urdincj in VJne OaJt^ BY ADELINE GERMAN eddon Nursing is all fields in one. As a mechanic you fix cars, in teaching you teach the subject you majored in, and in music you learn about your instrument and play it. In nursing you fix, teach, and play any and every part that ever comes up. In plain words you have no hidden, talent. Where else could one person be used in so many ways? Everyone has certain things they like to do I know and have done them. For instance, I love to cut up, I got plenty of this in the op- erating room. Where else but in pediatrics could I have starred on the BAWL room floor? Upholster- ing has always fascinated me. Be- lieve me when I say, "I got plenty of practice in maternity (nursery) changing seat covers." I have al- ways been fond of taking care of flowers. So when I was told it would be up to me to keep the I.V.'s running right, I was sure it was here I could fulfill my desire. After being a nurse, I know I could take good care of my furniture, be- cause in our education we learn to give bed baths. Life saving has always been wonderful in my mind, but not knowing how to swim; I thought maybe I could accomplish this by inspecting all my patient's mattresses for holes—just to be sure they would not fall through and drown in the springs. I have always liked to see pictures of waterfalls. By now, I have seen plenty of pitchers of water fall. So you see nursing is a well rounded education —going in circles at all times. ^IjurAe: (Counselor, C^omjoriet\ ^J^ealer porter f-^uL That word "nurse," what does it mean to you? There are so many various answers to that question that merely writing them down would be a sizeable task. By the very nature of her work a nurse is many things to many people. She is the one who knows how to ease gently a back that is aching from long hours spent lying in bed. She is the one who helps to quiet the in- evitable nervousness of those on their way to surgery. Yet, she it is who wields those ever-present nee- dles. We are told that Jesus spent more time healing than preaching. Surely the nurse is in an excellent posi- tion to follow His example. While her patient is lying in the hospital bed, perhaps not allowed to read or unable to listen to any radio, he is forced to think. When this pa- tient has nothing but his thoughts to occupy himself, there is need for someone who can inconspicu- ously direct those thoughts in such a way as to make them worthwhile and comforting. Who could be bet- ter qualified than the Christian nurse? By her example of optimism and good cheer she readily cap- gel.: tures the admiration and confidence of her patient. Then, when she has done numerous things through the dav to make him more comfortable, and she finishes the day with that soothing evening back rub, few people there are who will refuse the nurse the privilege of offering a short prayer to commit her pa- tient to the care of that loving Phy- sician who can cure all ills. That prayer may be no more than a few simple, ineloquent words, but only those who have been in the position of the patient are able to know how much comfort can result from so simple an act. Before that little prayer the patient may have been anxious and uneasy about his stay in the hospital. He may have felt lonely and his troubles seemed in- numerable. Somehow, after those few words, even though he may never have had anyone pray in his presence before, his heart is moved. He is made to realize that there is a Comforter and that he need not be alone. His thoughts are quieter, his attitude serene; and that word "nurse" takes on a new meaning. To him it is svnonomou.s with "an- ie At one of the recent Friday eve- ning MV meetings interesting pic- tures were shown and a report given by Dr. Velma Crawford on her recent trip to Europe. Other activities sponsored by the society lvive been planned by the officers. Miss Alice Smith has charge of the program December 12. She plans to show pictures of her recent trip to New England. 6 » o « o The juniors have found that real enjoyment comes by helping others. They organized a story hour for the little orphan children living only a few blocks from Porter Sani- tarium and they are teaching songs, finger plays, and the story of Jesus. a $ a t> ft At the annual Thanksgiving Ban- quet for the workers of Porter Sani- tarium and their families, the staff doctors and their families, on No- vember 26, there were about four hundred present. The program con- sisted of special music and a Pro- fessor I. Q. quiz. Professor I. Q. was Miss Alice Smith, associate director of the School of Nursing. Every girl, when picking a pro- fession, thinks of the male side of it. When I heard you would be guaranteed a Bachelor of Science at the end of your training, I was willing to go through four years of anything. Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, any kind just so I got a Bachelor. Men seem to be able to treat a girl almost any way, but I'm telling you, this is one bachelor I know I can frame. Really, to be serious, my love for nursing started when I was a little girl and a patient in the hospital. One day I turned my light on, and it was answered almost a half hour later, or shall I say, almost "too late!" I vowed then that someday I wanted to grow up and be a nurse —one who would always promptly answer every light I ever saw Ne- ver did I realize how blind I could be. I enjoy helping others. This I thought I could get in nursing, but there is more to it than that. As I have seen what some of my pa- tients have been through and still have ahead of them, I stop to think about their outlook on life and then wonder what right 1 have to com- plain. It makes you face facts and be thankful for what you have. A person who has health has more than money can buy. A nurse can be of service to humanity, thus fulfilling Matthew 25:40, ".'. .In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Some nurses are in this profession be- cause of the money it can bring, but money isn't everything. The most wonderful pay you can re- ceive is a smile from your sickest patient. I cannot put into words "Why I took nursing," but I can truthfully say there is no other profession I would rather have! My one desire is that I hope I can al- ways fulfill my aim—to care for my patients as if I were caring for Christ. ^Jhe J-^uise of ^Jhtncj.6 Besides final exams taking a con- siderable amount of time in the clinical division, moving has been a big item on the agenda the past few weeks. For the juniors, who are leaving for vacations and affil- iation, this is not a new procedure. However, the sophomores are just beginning the experience that will be repeated several times within the next two years. Before the sophomores were di- vided between the Boulder and Por- ter units, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben John- son and Miss Muriel Fleming enter- tained the class on the evening of November 30. After a delicious sup- per, games were played the remain- der of the evening. A similar oc- casion honored the juniors, Decem- ber 2 Thursday night, December 4, was the date of a dormitory Christ- mas party at the Boulder unit. The. evening was spent in playing games, followed by the appearance of Santa Claus. Since the week before the sopho- more capping seemed to be a week of social "get-to-gethers," it might be well to mention the bridal shower of one of the juniors, Betty Bolles. Not only were male students and faculty members present, but the groom-to-be, Elijah Rich, was also present as guest of honor. After the opening of many beautiful gifts, refreshments of punch and white cake were served. Maybe I should stop here, or the impression will be given that nurs- ing is all parties, but mention should be made of a "burger and french fry" supper Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moon gave the juniors at the Boulder unit Saturday night, December 6. While we are on the subject of juniors, the upper division classes presented a variety program in Denver, November 29, and in Boulder, December 6. Proceeds are to go for a new sewing machine at the Porter dormitory. Several carloads of Boulder Sani- tarium students have been going twelve miles away each Sabbath to the little town of Louisville where a lively interest has been created among the children of this town. Up to forty-three children have been in attendance at these meet- ings. Stories along the line of health, character building, and missionary experiences are told, and children's motion songs are sung. The project has been under the leadership of Laurene Stacey and Althea Rea but a large number of the students have participated in this program. Fifteen members of the sopho- more class have arrived and are starting their work here at Porter. With their enthusiasm and deter- mination to make their contact with God first through prayer and daily asking for strength and guidance, we know they will succeed as good, Christian nurses. Excuse me while I sign off and take another couple of aspirins. Too many parties, moving, and exams!! SALUTE to the NIGHTINGALES CLOCK TOWER, DECEMBER 11, 1952 3 Acad- Editor ......... .

The Youth Problem's class has varied its class routine during the past few days by use of the panel discussion method. The members of the panel sit with the chairman and discuss the high lights of the lesson. After the panel group has presented the subject, the other stu- dents in the class are permitted to ask questions or make suggestions. Those who have served thus far as leaders in the panels are Joyce Stephens, Joan Campbell, James Hinger, Myron Robertson and La- Vonne Ludwig. Mrs. J. Wesley Rhodes, P. T.

"Our special interest is to prepare ministers to finish the work at home and abroad, and to antici- pate the needs of the field for the men we train," says Elder A. J. Wearner. Personal work for the salvation of others begins during the train- ing period for every worker of God, not waiting until after grad- uation. The religion department believes in this method and spon- sors various activities throughout the year in which students may engage and work directly for oth- ers.

There were two group numbers, a girls' trio consisting of Donna Chambers, LaVonne Dirk- sen, and Mary Feikes; and a male quartet composed of Don Madi- son, Harold Reeder, Byron Moe, and Art Dick. Armilda Young, Marvel Jensen, Ruby and Joyce Stephens were accompanists. Thanksgiving Pageant Three Thanksgivings—the first Thanksgiving, one during the Civil War, and a 1952 Thanksgiving were featured in a pageant at the Youth Fellowship Meeting, No- vember 22. Those represented in the Pil- grim scene were Marvel Jensen, Arlo Krueger, Arthur Dick, Roy Johnson, Sharon Madison, and Wanda Versaw. Harold Reeder and Charles Chambers posed as Indians. Retha Butcher and Earl Sabo as Civil War parents expressed their thankfulness for the return of their soldier son, Bobby Stout, from the war. In scene three Doris Stern, the Spirit of Thanksgiving, explained the true meaning of Thanksgiving to John Klaren, Becky Anderson, Curtis Rossow, June Robinson, Ei- leen Christman. and Lila Bietz, a modem group.

Jerry Niswonger was in charge of the entire program. taking place during the fall. Also during the course of the year sev- eral visitation days are sponsored and frequent house to house visits are made. Future ministers, evangelists, and Bible workers obtain practical experience in the efforts held in surrounding towns. The prelimi- nary work, preaching, Bible studies, and follow-up work is planned and carried on by the students with the help of counsel being given by the religion teachers. There are 541 students enrolled in the sixteen courses in theology, eleven courses in Biblical and church history, and six courses in evangelism offered by the depart- ment. These courses are taught by "Operation Snow Plow" We overheard someone in the hall the other day make the state- ment that Thanksgiving vacation might well have gone under the heading of "operation snowplow," and we agree. With pencil in hand we headed out into the big drift to make in- quiry as to the happenings of those individuals who had embarked. Our findings followed a rather sim- ilar pattern as we proceeded, with the exception of one of our num- ber who ran into trouble (in the form of a telephone pole) before he ever got out of the city limits. We stopped by the library and found Margaret Kelsch typing in Miss Smith's office. We asked if we could interrupt her for a brief interview; so she obliged and help- ed us out with details on the trip of two Kansas-bound cars whose drivers were Ernie Clark and Bill Neptune. It seems that, thinking the storm would abate, this group waited until Wednesday a.m. to start for home, but nightfall found them only as far as Beatrice, a city forty miles south of Lincoln. Rea- sons for delay varied from cars and trucks stalled to a wreck involving seven cars. Margaret told us that, "The fellows went to the police station to inquire about a place to stay overnight. The fellows stayed at the Red Cross, and seven of us girls spent the night in a home; we didn't know the people. We ran into Don McPherson and Ron- nie and Donnie Nelson in Beatrice, too. Even if we did lose a couple of days of vacation, it was fun." We swapped snow stories, thanked her, and went on with inquiries. This time we asked general ques- tions and came up with a few ru- mored facts. One of these is a coin- cidence worth mentioning. A car- load of east-bound, clinical-division nursing students and one of west- bound campus students were stall- ed in the vicinity of one another, close enough to pass the time of day. Another rumor tells us that Colorado-bound Duane Kraft somehow got as far as Grand Island (we believe that he must have been aided by a St. Bernard) and trav- eled the remaining four hundred miles via rails Well, we are studying once more, term papers are being processed, there's some talk about Christmas vacation and connected with it- weather conditions. Just a reminder, why don't you send a Christmas card to those who took you in while you were strand- ed? A. J. Wearner, professor of reli- gion; J. J. Williamson, assistant professor of religion and evangel- ism; A. V. Wallenkampf, assistant professor of religion, and R. T. Carter, instructor in religion. Of the 541 students enrolled in reli- gion courses twenty-one will grad- uate this year with majors in reli- gion. Two new courses have been added to the department this year. Elder Williamson is teaching, in addition to his evangelism classes, Spirit of Prophecy, and Elder Wal- lenkampf is teaching Old Testa- ment Backgrounds. This is a course in antiquity and ancient ways of those mentioned in the Bible during Abraham's time. GYMNASIUM First, here are the latest volley- ball standings: Team Wins Losses Pet.

Looking good and playing de- serving games has been Team 8, however, it is only able to hold the middle spot in the standings. They are expected to win handily their remaining games. Their tussles with the undeafeated Faculty were the only ones to throw any real scare into the teachers. Leading by 13-4 in the final game of three after each team had won one game, Team 8 suddenly became unable to re- spond to the aroused Faculty. Des- perate for just two points, "the swinging six from South" were un- able to hold off the Faculty, and the "game of the year" ended 18-16.

Harris, associate Sabbath School secretary of the General Conference, demonstrated to the Ministerial Association Aux- iliary how to make Sabbath Schools more interesting. The group, however, has been studying new techniques in Sab- bath School work under Mrs. Robert L. Osmunson. Mrs. Jane Guy, president of the ministerial students' wives club, an- nounced that the next phase of work to be studied would be MV programs. The auxiliary has been active in helping the needy by delivering food baskets, reported Mrs. Don Sullivan at the meeting. Good taste springs more from judgment than from intellect. * * \ DR. H. H.

MORSE 3927 So. 48th St. Since 1924 4 CLOCK TOWER, FEBRUARY, 20, 1953 South Hall The next time the ladies from North Hall are visiting the Sigma Iota Kappa meeting and the Hon- orable Russell Strom's Court is in session the defendant will probably be a telephone post down on South 48th Street, and the plaintiff will be Doug Hill's '38 Oldsmobile or Ralph Boyd who shattered the windshield in the crash. Probable witnesses would be Donna Carlson, Nadine Nelson, Marjorie Jarnes, and Bebe Kahldahl. Many boys, who were planning on leaving the campus during Thanksgiving vacation, were stranded here because of the ter- rific blizzard. Most of them were not too displeased with the situa- tion, however, as many residents of North Hall had to stay here, also. The Burlington railroad pro- vided work for many fellows dur- ing the snowstorm; their job was to keep the switches clear of drift- ing snow. The next time Lamoine Pearson takes his dirty clothes to the laun- dry he will probably carry the laun- dry bag down the whole five flights of stairs from the castle where he lives. The other day he thought he would be smart and save himself this work by heaving his laundry bag out the window of his room. When he went down to pick it up, he found that it was not on the ground but lodged in the fork of one of the upper limbs of a tree. Lamoine had to climb up and shake while Ralph Boyd laughed at him and threw things at the bag from the ground. Eventually the bag came open and shirts, t-shirts, etc. came floating down to the ground. Another accident, that occurred as a result of the snowstorm, hap- pened in Fremont, Nebraska. Gene Johnson's car went off the road, hit a post, and turned end over end in the ditch. Muriel Lehto's leg was injured in the accident, and fourteen stitches were taken in Rose Evelyn Drake's forehead. It cost Gene Johnson ten dollars to have his '41 Chevrolet towed to a junk yard where he sold it for twenty-five dollars. It seems that those who took the trips to Minnesota during vacation were all burdened with heavy ex- penses. It took Bruce McKellip twelve hours to drive from Lincoln to a point eight miles north of Me- delia, Minnesota, a trip that nor- mally takes six hours. That night the six occupants of his car had to sit up all night in the lobby of a hotel as the hotel was full. The next day they found that the engine of the car had frozen and cracked, and each person had to find his own way home. If we had no faults om—"ves, we should not take so much plea- sure in remarking them in others. DR. E. P. HEINRICH Optometrist 4735 Prescott Avenue Lincoln, Nebraska Silas R.

Students Everywhere you Qo, Even in M ^lco By VERA GRITZ At last it had come, the big day when Miss Pearl Hall with thirty- four students from her four Spanish classes would leave for Mexico. With Mr. Ernest Long as our bus driver, we began our journey at 4:20 a.m., Monday morning, No- vember 24, in the snow. The snow storm got worse, and, when our bus was stalled as a result of bad roads, we had to spend twenty-six hours in a little six-room farmhouse with seventy other people. We were thankful to be given permission to occupy the basement by ourselves, for we could hold our worships and eat our meals there without dis- turbing others. Miss Hall had told us to prepare to "rough it," so we had sleeping bags and food and were well provided for. We were finally able to leave the farmhouse Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. As a result of our delay we had to spend all Thanksgiving day traveling. Our dinner consisted of sack lunches sent with us from our own cafeteria. Thursday night we stayed in the Spanish S.D.A. church in San Antonio, Texas. The church ladies served us a Spanish supper. Again we used our sleep- ing bags and slept on the floor. We had a little trouble getting across the border, since four of our number were born oustide of the U.S. This was all straightened out after the Mexican Chief of Im- migration came. At 8:30 Friday evening we ar- rived at our school in Montemore- los. All thirty-four of us were tired, hungry people, but we forgot our- selves when we met the sparkling eyes and smiling faces of our Span- ish friends. After supper we gladly settled down for the night. Sabbath was spent as we would spend a Sabbath in the U.S. I HAG Rice Pharmacy 3947 South 48th A Fine Gift for Every Man!

MAGEE'S First Floor A very large hand-made marimba seemed to be the main feature of the entertainment Saturday night. The program was alive with music of both languages, and every one joined in wholeheartedly to do his part. With Mexican students as our guides we were shown the entire mission on Sunday. Of special in- terest to the pre-nursing students was our tour of the forty-bed hos- pital. One of the most adventurous experiences for the day was riding burros over a mountain trail to Cola de Caballo (Horsetail Falls). It took an hour or more to get the students separated long enough to get them into the bus. Even then we left some of the girls weeping. Our parting words were, "Vamos a vernos en los cuelos." (We'll see you in heaven.) The rest of the day was spent in Monterrey at the markets. It took much thinking to trade with Spanish money. Pesos and centavos sound strange to those accustomed to dollars and cents. To our surprise we found that about twenty Adventists are attend- ing the medical college of the Uni- versity of Monterrey. These folk kindly offered us supper and a night's lodging. We had a short stay at South- western Junior College in Keene, Texas, and a few minutes' stop at the Kansas farm home to repeat our thanks, and the return journey was almost completed late Thurs- day night. Because of the heavy fog we had to stop by the side of the road for two hours; therefore, we didn't arrive on the campus until 6:00 a.m. Thursday. North Hall Thanksgiving vacation is over and we have almost all recuperated. All North Hall girls are back to their dormitory home, with the ex- ception of Muriel Lehto. Muriel, we want you to know we are thinking of you and we will be glad when you are back on the campus. Rosalie Haffner, whose eye and cheek were hurt in a car accident recently, is almost as good as new again, except for the scar. Some of the girls have exciting and adventurous stories to tell a- bout their Thanksgiving vacations. Last Monday evening in worship, five of them told their vacation ex- periences. These five were Helen Smith, Bette Jewell Lenz, Martha Reddy, Eulene Owens, and Norma Miller. While they were stalled or ma- rooned by the snow, students stay- ed in filling stations, tiny hotels, farm houses, and even a little coun- try schoolhouse Some of the girls who planned to go home had to stay here be- cause of the snow, but 1 think all who stayed had a good time. En- tertainments were planned for ev- ery evening, and the gym was left open all day for those wishing to use it. Tuesday night there was skating in the gym and parties in the dormitory; Wednesday night the students played games and marched in the gym; Thursday night four films were shown in the chapel; Friday night the Mission- ary Volunteer department present- ed Dr. Hare; and Saturday night some of the fellows played a bas- ketball game in the gym, which was followed by skating. The first day after vacation many students acted weary and sleepy. Betty Germain came to newswrit- ing class carrying a big dictionary. She explained that she thought it was her history book for her next period class. Ask the girls who went to Mexico how it feels to be serenaded by real senores. Also ask them for a piece of mistletoe. It seems they brought back enough to last for a long time. Leota Liggett, Betty Lou Foy, and Wayne Page are quite the bread bakers. In foods laboratory they used Solax in place of fat in their bread. Wayne is reported to have eaten his after taking it to the chemistry laboratory and prov- ing it to be chemically safe. Married men live longer than single men. Or at least they com- plain more about it.

W. Rhodes and Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Watson left for Southwestern Junior College. Mr. Rhodes and 4 Mr. Watson put on a musical pro- gram on Saturday night. The pro- gram consisted of "Loss of Sight" and "Total Eclipse" from Samson by Handel, "Romance" by Debussy, "Nocturne" by Chopin, "Fantasio, D minor" by Mozart, and others. Mrs. Rhodes accompanied them. A new effort has been started at Bethany, and Don McPherson and the orchestra went out for the first meeting, Sunday evening, Novem- ^ ber 23. r Several of the studios in Engel Hall are receiving a "brighter look"; they are being painted nice, bright colors. This is certainly appreciated by students and staff. One of our music students was hurt in the snowstorm we had during the Thanksgiving holidays. She was Muriel Lehto. Get well soon, Muriel, and hurry back to school The Fine Arts Guild is having many interesting activities, so all who are interested in music are welcomed to come to the Fine Arts Guild programs on Saturday nights. We have more power than will: and it is often by way of excuse to ourselves that we fancy things are impossible.
