He said, ' There is a presence in your heart of the spirit of sacrifice and labor which was gained at Union." Elder M. J. Sorenson, who has just returned from Ethiopia, and Elder R. J.

Meet Two of The Senior Class Officers .2aaidn' 44aufrici W1LNIER UNTERS EHER Another pre-med planning to at- tend Loma Linda this fall is Wil- mer Unterseher. After attending Wadena High in Minnesota, Wil- mer has put in four years at Union. Originally from Harrisburg, Oreg., Wilmer has traveled quite exten- sively, especially in the South Pa- cific. Being born a natural leader, he has held numerous offices in the different student organizations here. JOYCE ERICKSON Joyce Erickson's pet peeves are bells and bills. She said that from the first day she arrived at Union she has been going by bells and that once each month she gets the bills. Joyce was horn and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, where she also graduated from high school. Her hobbies are picture albums and scrapbooks. While at Union she has been majoring in biology and education and minoring in his- tory and religion. Mid the December weather, the signing of Golden Cords, the fran- tic packing in order to catch that next train, the last-minute exami- nations, and the sad ( I ) partings, we take time to dash off a "line." . . . We've just decided that the most relieved man on the campus Monday was Francis Knittel, editor of the Golden Cords, when the long-awaited covers arrived so the yearbooks could be finished and into the hands of the students. . . . The pressing question: Will WU- Hata Weller have that term paper finished by Friday so she can grad- uate? We hope! . . . Putting last- minute touches on their canvasses are about one hundred students. They'll be scattering to the far parts of the unions served by Union Col- lege. Emory Gusso, Richard Staf- ford, and Darrow Foster have their "putt-putts" all tuned up. Warren Sherbert should be well taken care of as he canvasses—he now has two motorcycles and a jeep. . . . Along with the showers outside, we've been hearing of lots of showers in- side. In the past few days Bonnie Grogan, Margaret Steeves, Jean Hutchinson, Mary Louise Loveless, Virginia Carter, Madelyn Root, Katherine Null have been show- ered. We extend a hearty welcome to six new fellows who recently ar- rived from Ethiopia. Kifle Segaie must have been doing some good campaigning for Union. . . . A charming addition to the North Hall family is Miss Rose Chin from China. . . How do you like green concrete? Report is that our green tennis courts now being construct- ed will be some of the very best in Lincoln. . . . We all enjoyed Elder G. C. Nickel's talks in chapel and in M.V. meeting. He is the father of our June Nickel. . . . Miss Hall left last Saturday night to begin her journey to Europe via Halifax. She will be touring France and Spain most of the summer. . . . Dean Culver was commencement speaker at Maplewood Academy last week end. . . . Several of the elementary student-teachers took part in the program given in the chapel Monday night by the first and second grades.. . . Inez Meyers was exceedingly busy the other aft- ernoon in the North Hall lobby. With exams out of the way and everything ready for graduation, she said she hadn't been able to sleep the night before and was consequently tired and bored and rushed all at once! . . . Betty Jayne Clew is going to Texas with Marie Stanford to help Marie's father on his farm....We hear that Emma Reichel was the first student to get through with her exams and leave for her home. . . . John Parobek has been displaying some of his hidden talents lately by playing on his saw for several programs. We'd like to present a verbal bouquet of beautiful big orchids to Carol Magnuson, the hardest- working member of the CLOCK TOWER staff this year. ( She won't read this copy before it goes to press!) She has been an excellent managing editor and we appreciate her faithful work. . . . Sunday and Monday we saw nearly everyone absorbing the sunshine while studying for finals. Can't say as much for Wednesday, the day we were drenched. With this we must halt and tell you that we're so glad we got to know you this year and that we think it's been a lot of 12.ta.

HENRY CARUBBA Henry Carubba, whose home is in New Orleans, takes full advan- tage of being near the water by swimming and going deep-sea fish- ing.

BONNIE LINDQUIST Another one of the fifty-seven seniors soon to leave Union's doors is Bonnie Lindquist, who claims Pierre, South Dakota, as home. Anyone who knows Bonnie does not have to be told that her major is music because all remember her as an enthusiastic chorister and a superb pianist. Bonnie will teach music at Enterprise Academy next WALTER BERTHELSEN Because of being so "movable" Walter Berthelsen gave his wife a difficult time to say just where he was from. He was originally from South Dakota but has moved to Iowa. However, his address is Jack- son, Minnesota; so choose the place you like the best, Walter, and claim it. Walter's hobby is the study of radio. He is now complet- ing a course frim the National Ra- dio Institute, at Washington, D.C.
