Beaven, associate secretary of the American Temper- ance Society and former head of the Union College speech depart- ment, spoke in chapels March 11 and 12 on the problem of temper- ance education. The steps outlined in this ATS sponsored educational program are: protect ourselves and point out the results of drinking to others. "Moderation is an undefinable word," stated Dr. Beaven, "that is used by the drinkers of America to cover up the alcohol problem." Rhodes is Member of GC Music Committee Professor J.

Beaven Plans Are Begun for Women's Dormitory The proposed women's dormi- tory, the Union College Board of Trustees announced recently, will be patterned after new South hall. Building on the modern, fire-proof structure will be begun at as early a time as possible. "All of the conferences compris- ing the territory of Union College have undertaken the responsibility of raising a proportionate share of the sum necessary for building," stated Elder M. V. Campbell, pres- ident of the Central Union Confer- ence, who is also president of the board. College View Church Begins "Project Go! The new laymen's movement in the College View church was launched in a challenging sermon by Elder M. D. Oswald, home mis- sionary secretary of the Nebraska conference. The home missionary leader of the College View church, Russell Bradley, is in charge of the over-all endeavor. Assisting him are Merton Searle and L. W. Wasemiller. Bands were organized that will call on all residents in Lincoln whose names are listed in the tele- phone directory. The bands are or- ganized as follows: each member of the bands received a list of names whose first initial was the same as his own, and he will call on these people during the year 1954. Each member will be responsi- ble to make repeat calls in an en- deavor to establish a missionary friendship with each family con- tacted. The result of each call will be turned in to the secretary of the band of which the caller is a member. There will be Bible study groups formed as the need develops in each band. SDA Violinist Will Play Saturday Night Bela Urban, Hungarian-American violinist, will be presented Saturday night, March 27, in the college audi- torium as a lyceum feature. Mr. Urban, owner of the famous "Haw- ley Gaudagnini" violin, which he will use in his recital here, will give a concert of classical music. At his debut recital the Chicago Daily News hailed him as "astonish- ingly gifted." Progress was rapid, and it became increasingly evident that he would require the excellent guidance and tutoring that only a great pedagogue could give. Thus, it was decided to send him to Eu- rope for study with that "King of Violinists," Eugene Ysaye. During his sojourn in Europe, Bela Urban received the first prize at the con- servatory in Brussels, was heard in many brilliant solo recitals, and was decorated by the French govern- ment for his services in the cause of French music. Returning to America, Mr. Ur- ban's activities were almost immedi- ately curtailed by the war, and ser- vice in the armed forces became his chief concern for the next four years. But Urban scon became a favorite s o 1 d i e r-entertainer and made over one thousand appear- ances for GI's; he was soloist with one of the army orchestras conduct- ed by Andre Kostelanetz and later with a special Army Air Forces or- chestra assembled to represent the United States in a highly success- ful gcod-wili tour of South America. Lester Leno, Vincent Mitzelfelt, and Louis Johnson, the cornet trio, play "Beautiful Dreamer" for one of the concert numbers. The UC Concert Band presented its annual spring concert in the au- ditorium on Saturday night, March 13. Directed by Mr. H. Lloyd Leno, the forty-five piece band played both old and modern music. The program included "March" COMING EVENTS CHAPELS March 22, 23—Home Economics Club March 25, 26-Dr. H. G.

This instrument is considered one of the best ex- amples of that master's work and is in an excellent state of preserva- tion. He never entrusts it to anyone but guards it carefully, fcr it is with this instrument that his artistry has blended personality and technique which, to witness, as one reviewer expressed it, "is a great and mysti- cal experience." Brewer, Mershon Will Be Graduation Speakers Dr. Wallace Brewer, member of the Oklahoma State Board of Edu- cation, will be the commencement speaker at Union College on May 22, President Harvey C. Hartman announced last week. Elder J. M. Mershon of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, has accepted the invitation to deliver the baccalau- reate sermon to the graduating class on Sabbath, May 22, at 11:00 a.m. He is a graduate of Union College, Class of '45. Elder Mer- shon is pastor of the Minnesota Lake District which includes the Seventh-day Adventist churches in Detroit Lakes, Wadena, Basswood, and Fergus Falls. Dr. Brewer, UC alumnus, Class of '27, will speak at the graduation of 100 seniors. Dr. Brewer has taught in several Seventh-day Adventist grade schools and academies as well as high schools in Oklahoma. He was awarded a Ph.D. degree from the University of Oklahoma.

Our thanks go to the Denver Post. 'A Famous last words—"Let's have our banquet early this year so it won't be so close to the other banquets." As time (and a half) went by and postponements followed announced dates which followed post- ponements, which followed ... it so happens that the three biggest social events of the school year, all semi-formal banquets, are now to be within the same three-and-a-half week period. "Somebody goo- fed!" is how Don Dick would put it. A Our apologies and sincere thanks go to the Union College and South Side Cleaners. Our apologies are for not mentioning it sooner. Our thanks are for all the cleaning they did gratuitously for the men whose clothes were blackened or otherwise soiled in the South hall fire at Christmas time. Does this student sound like anyone you know? Student is sit- ting in chapel with nose in book, announcement is made that chapel will be turned over to the Student Association, student buries nose deeper in book, big discussion begins from the floor, student is ob- viously very bored, motions made and amended four times, student still has nose in book, votes called, student with nose in book finally tugs at sleeve of person next seat over and says, "What are they talk- ing about, I can't hear." This student is a good example of a few seen in chapel last week. This is the type of person who wants a powerful Student Association, then when a discussion is opened upon a subject concerning every member of the SA, he is so bored, won't pay any attention, and won't participate. The inconsistencies of college students is sometimes as- tounding! Attention all publicity secretaries of the campus clubs. What do you think your function is? If you wonder why there is no club news this issue it is because only one publicity secretary turned in any news. You were elected to fill that position and do that job, now don't let your club down by being so irresponsible! A To all of you who joined the US chapter of the American Tem- perance Society we would like to say, "Good for you!" To those who haven't joined yet by paying only one dollar in dues—shame on you! Let's have a 100% membership from Union College this year. You may have passed by the first opportunity to join, but please don't do that a second time. (This is not a paid announcement by Jerry Coyle it's just something we believe in, and think many more people be- sides the ATS officers should get excited about.) SI Speaking of opportunity—we heard of someone who had a car they called "Opportunity" because it was always knocking. PLACEMENTS JZoulder /Pulde At midnight, Sunday night, March 7, the nursing students of Southwestern Junior College rolled into the driveway of the nurses' residence. As the sixty mile-an-hour wind hit them in the face when they stepped out of the car, I'm certain they must have thought they were still in Texas, but, as the cold air began to creep in with it, they came to their senses and realized it was Colorado, unmistakably. Since the weather gave them such a cold re- ception, we tried to warm them up a bit with a little cocoa before go- ing to bed. In the morning when they awoke, to their delight the ground was cov- ered with three inches of snow, and more was falling. The morning was spent in a tour of the hospital and grounds and sufficient enough plow- ing around in the snow to make their feet wet and partially freeze them elsewhere. <« After classes, we all took a hike up Sunshine Canyon in order to show off our Colorado scenery. Of course, none of the Southerners were used to this type of weather, and they didn't have the necessary clothing, so nine pairs of jeans, boots, gloves, and scarfs were gath- ered up, and every one took her pick. If it fit, fine, if it didn't, well, they wore it anyway. It wasn't until the feeling began to leave our feet and hands did we decide to turn back toward the dormitory and then head for a good hot supper in the cafeteria. <4 In the evening we introduced the group to the first prerequisites of flying with an aviation party. If you had walked in during the evening, you might have seen Lois Pelly- mounter trying to conquer the dif- ficult task of walking on a string looking through a pair of binocu- lars backwards, or Jannie Belz down on her hands and knees blowing a balloon across the floor. The eve- ning was ended in fine style with the refreshments committee serving popcorn, cocoa, doughnuts and ap- ples. By the way, the refreshment committee was Ruby Hoy, Cath- erine Warrick, and Mary Hoyt who did a very nice job. I think I can speak for all the students here in saying we enjoyed the SWJC stu- dents' visit and hope to see them all real soon, say August 25! CORINNE DEMING ^/I'.-V Student Speaks an fyattli It was lunch hour October 12, 1944. Every one was happily eat- ing at the table, not suspecting in the least that two hours or so later, the happy family at the meal table would be deprived forever of the love and companionship of a dear hus- band and faithful father. My husband, who was then the treasurer and busi- ness manager of Philippine Union College in Manila, was serving in the absence of the American adminis- trator who was imprisoned in Los Banos, Laguna. After lunch my husband went back to the school to finish some accounting. As I was putting the baby to sleep, I heard a car drive up outside. I looked out the window. Four Japanese men in civil- ian clothes came up the steps of my home and asked for Honesto Pas- cual, my husband. My husband returned shortly, and not thinking of anything serious, extended his hand to the Japanese visitors. They led him to the waiting car. There was no moment to lose. He looked at me; I knew he wanted to say something. I broke the wall of silence be- tween us when I came closer to him and said, "Dear, cheer up, be of good courage, we will pray for you." That was the last we saw of each other; not even to this day do I know what was done to his dead body after severe subjection to torture and starvation. I was a widow at twenty-five—left with a legacy of three dear boys who in the future might carry their father's name and work. Mine was the course of hundreds of widows who were left to saii life's sea alone. The future looked dark, and during moments of an- xiety and perplexity I asked God again and again the question, "Why?" As after a dark night, my horizons would break forth into light of day when I would be reminded that "All things work together for good to them that love God . . ." There was nothing but the Hand of Faith on which to hold. I held on to it and am still holding as long as time shall last for me. When the burdens seem heavier, I find myself meeting my appointment with Him in Gethsemane. Many times I was impressed to continue my studies and finish an education because there was a work to pick up and to finish. Many times I wavered when I thought of the impossibility of the education- al venture. At last I gave in to my troubled conscience and cried unto Him, "Lord, I will pick up where my husband left off and prepare the boys for the kingdom, but, oh Lord, wilt Thou do the rest?" True to His promise, He opened the windows of heaven literally. The insurmountable impossibilities were leveled by the bulldozer of Faith. I finished my college education and once more found myself carrying on the work that my husband had left, not as a business manager, but as a humble academy instructor of Philippine Union College. My responsibilities grew with the years, but I felt I was not equal to the task. I prayed that I might be able to continue my edu- cation. God answered my prayer when an offer of a scholarship to the University of Nebraska was extended to me. Now, if it is the Lord's will, my work on my Master's degree will be finished at the end of this summer. With faith, I made the first step toward the water of the Red Sea of life. The water parted because of that step of Faith. I have learned to trust Him. I know that He who leadeth my path will also lead you on as you travel the Highway of Faith.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, In the March 5, 1954, issue of the CLOCK TOWER under the editorial column, "Penned from the heads of the Eds," I noticed the following: "The other night Mr. Ralph Cleveland, campus policeman, on his regular rounds, stopped in the CT office to talk to us. He said, 'How's everything?' We said, 'In the same old rut.' He said, 'The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.' " If that awakened you, I would like to add that there is also another difference and one which is even more important. You can get out of a rut!!! Very respectfully, Robert E. Cleveland Asst.

Back row, left to right: Luella Carlson, Amy Carlson, Max Ortner, Louise Chatfield, instructor in clinical division; Delphine Schmierer. On the evening of February 26 the nine nurse technician students, who are enrolled in the School of Nurs- ing at Union College, took part in the capping and candlelighting ser- vice which was held for them in the Boulder, Colorado, church. Wearing their uniforms of gray and white, these nurse technician students began their work in caring for patients in the Boulder Sanitari- um and Hospital on March 1. These students will spend seven months on the Boulder campus getting the required clinical experience which is included in the one-year program of the nurse technician course. They will receive instruction and experi- ence in: medical and surgical train- ing, pediatric nursing, physical ther- apy, and obstetrical nursing. Upon completion of this one-year pro- gram on August 31, 1954, they will receive a certificate from Union Col- lege. This is the second class to be en- rolled for the nurse technician pro- gram. Under the supervision of the professional nurse they are able to care for the mildly ill patients and are filling a need on the nursing team. The names of these students are: Mrs. Lily Besel from New Jersey, Lloydene Barnes from Nebraska, Amy and Luella Carlson from Min- nesota, Barbara Ann Fish from Min- nesota, Wilma Jackson from Kan- sas, Delphine Schmierer from North Dakota, Max Ortner from Oklaho- ma, and Martha Zimmerman from Minnesota.

The class was presented by means of a skit. The scene opened in 1974 in an office room where Kay Lewis was secretary to her wealthy hus- band. James Schlup, L a V o n n e Engelkemier, and Robert Woods .stopped in for a visit. Soon their conversation turned to thoughts of the Class of '54. We learned that James, true to his greatest desire, owns a 3,000 acre ranch in Wyom- ing. LaVonne had proved to be an excellent housewife and now had her first new home. Her sister Mari- lyn is for the first time a beaming grandmother. Robert W o o d s, a wealthy and talented piano player, is selling pianos to the Eskimos. It was learned that the field of medicine appealed to five class members: Byron Moe, Myron Robertson, Robert Strukow, Earl Johnson, and Wendy Owen. A new clinic in Burbanks, Alaska, is head- ed by Myron Robertson. Robert Strukow, who had come from Ger- many, is now a famous doctor in Moscow with Karen Peterson as his head nurse. We are told that Earl Johnson is a leading doctor in the Florida Sanitarium. At the same place Eunice Geier is engaged in secretarial work. Wendy Owen is a missionary doctor assisted by the efficient nurse, Phyllis Larson. Archie Devereux, is now a Cadil- lac owner in Seattle, Washington. Roy Johnston is a well-known con- tractor in Oklahoma and has just finished building a new prison in Ketchum. Melvin Johnson and Bill Leigh, co-presidents of Minneapolis Moline, are also contractors. They built the new Administration build- ing at Union College. Some of the graduates had re- mained at Lincoln. Mary Howell is supervisor in the maternity ward at Lincoln General Hospital. Leland Kaiser now heads the science de- partment at UC. Erwin Flemmer is minister of the College View church. Roland Jensen is a radio and TV technician. He still super- vises the loud speaking system at the church as he did when he at- tended UCA. Arthur Dick is a sing- ing evangelist. If you wish to go traveling, take the California Zephyr whose engi- neer is Robert Harper and steward- ess is Mina Martindale. While you are traveling, be sure to stop in Florida at the motels owned and operated by Monte Morris, and, when you are hungry, eat at his well-known restaurants. During the skit, "This is Your Life," the class officers were intro- duced. Jerry McGill, a college jun- ior, was the master of ceremonies. The officers are: Monte Morris, The freshman class of UCA elected the following class officers on March 1, 1954: president, Launnie Reinholtz; vice-president, Nancy Howell; secretary, Natalie Deming; treasurer, Rosemary Walk- er; pastor, James Syfert; sergeant- at-arms, Tom Harper; and sponsor, Mrs. Elsie Johnson. president; Phyllis L a r s o n, vice- president; Wendy Owen, secretary; Arthur Dick, treasurer; James Sch- lup, sergeant at arms; Byron Moe, pastor, and Elder Ralph Carter, sponsor. The class song was sung to the tune of the "Jones Boy." "Excelsior" is the class aim, and their motto is "Upward Climbing Always." The group chose white and purple for their colors and the carnation as the class llower. A trumpet solo and a piano solo was given by Byron Moe and Rob- ert Woods as part of the program. The class will is as follows: Karon Peterson, her being the only girl in physics class to Barbara Sch- lup. Robert Woods, his height to Natalie Deming. Leland Kaiser, his twenty-letter words to "Shorty" Reeder. Byron Moe, his red hair and temper to Joanne Smellage. LaVonne Engelkemier. her duets with "Shorty" in special choir to Francis Conrad.

Two new members have joined the class; they are Bob Smellage and Howard Lewis. There has been some discussion about what to do with the money on hand in the Student Association project fund. Here are the answers a few individuals gave our roving reporter on the question, "What do you think would be a good project for the Student Association's pro- ject fund?" Robert Gunst, Senior—I would like to see the Student Association pur- chase caps and gowns and use them for an investment to build up this fund. (Ed.—Let the SA rent them to seniors?) Merlin Reeder, Sophomore—I would like to see the editors-in-chief of the CI.OCK TOWER and the Golden Cords receive more pay for their work. This could be a part time job to them. Don Dick, Junior—I would like to see a back-stage entrance in the gymnasium so participants in a pro- gram would not be forced to trot back and forth from the audience to the stage in full view, and, what's more distracting, hearing of the whole audience. Dick Putnam, Sophomore—It would be a good idea to make a room in the castle into a recreation room with record players and ping pong tables. Naomi Henkelmann, Senior—There is a vast need for a special sidewalk from the south side of the gymnasi- um to the street. Howard Thomas, Senior—Part of the center island east or in back of the administration building could be made into a parking lot for stu- dent and staff cars. UC needs more parking space during class periods. /}jjte>i CfiaduatioM.... Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Dealy, '52, and their baby are spending a few days with their parents in Lincoln.

After all, it seemed a trivial task to follow the simple instructions. I laid the pattern on the material, but it would have taken two tables to stretch the material over it. Since I only had one small one I cut the part of the material that hung over and folded it up until I needed it. It was just one week before the party so I knew I could finish and have a new dress to wear. It seemed rather silly to lay the pattern the way it said in the in- structions because, by turning the pattern this way and that, one could save enough to make two dresses. I cut the skirt out first and sewed up the side seams, but it was so small I could almost use it for a sleeve. I looked at the instructions and discovered I was supposed to cut two of each one. With a razor blade I ripped one of the seams and accidentally cut a big hole in the material. I wasn't going to wear a patched dress for love nor money' Besides I had lots of material io 1 laid the pattern on the end ancl cut it over and threw the old gore away. I stitched the side seams once more, but it was still too small around. I was positive I had a faul- ty pattern, but careful examination revealed the fact that I had cut an- other gore like the one I had thrown away. Therefore, I had to cut an- other gore, rip another seam, ancl insert the new gore. I forgot and sewed the side seam all the way to the top where the placket was sup- posed to be. Consequently, another ripping job took place. After the seams were finished. I sewed the hem so it would be finished before I began the top of the dress. The sleeve was supposed to be a gathered one, but the sleeve was smaller than the arm hole so I had to cut a couple inches off each side to make it fit. Afterwards I learned I was supposed to put darts there, but I didn't want to rip it again so I just let it go. The darts around the waist were hard to do. They looked more like pleats when I got through with them, but I like pleats so I left it that way. I discovered, when I went to put the blouse and skirt together, I had opened the center front for the placket. Not wishing to rip an- other place, I decided it was much more simple to turn the skirt until it would fit with the side of the blouse. Many girls consider it a hard task to put the zipper into the placket opening. I was really quite proud of the good job I had done in sew- ing the zipper—I only broke three needles doing it. I was nearly ready to pat myself on the back when I discovered I had sewed it in the wrong side. I was afraid I'd break my last needle if I tried to change it and anyway—who ever sees a zipper? After much fuss and disgust I completed my project, pressed it, and tried it on for the first time. Horrors! You should have seen it! Some of the stripes went horizon- tally, some vertically, some diago- nally ancl together they went every- which-way. The hem reminded me of the track which the roller-coaster at the amusement park travels on. I could hardly breathe much less move my arms. The placket was not only on the wrong side but up- side down. That was the last straw. 1 went to town, bought a dress, ancl when I returned someone persuad- ed me into enrolling in a class listed in the bulletin as clothing selection and construction. Needless to say, I am learning things in a much bet- ter wav now. CAROL GRUBBS Shan't Shan't ?bo*irt ^bon't Initiating a "Be Kind to Profes- sors Week, the Dynamo, Mount Union College (Ohio), suggests a few "don'ts" to students: —Don't sleep during exams. The chairs are awfully hard ancl might give you a stiff neck. —Don't take off your shoes in class unless your mother has darned your socks recently. —Don't hold hands with your "true love" in class. It makes life difficult for the seven people sitting be- tween you. —Don't take notes on a typewriter. This is terribly distracting to the students trying to sleep. —Ancl above all, remember: pro- fessors are just like people. 4 t * * t * * i 4 t t i t t t » * t 4 * > * t i i 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Fellas, this is the casual jacket you'll want for Spring POPLIN JACKETS 395 10 Smart Colors • Yellow • Brown • Tan • Aqua • Lt.

It seems like I just can not remember everything I've studied." Yes, you have guessed it. This is test week at Union College, and everyone is doing her best to make grades that she will be proud to receive. But even though this is so, we have found a few minutes for some fun and even to arrange some surprises for our friends. Bette Jewell Lenz was very much sur- prised when she was ushered down to the dormitory recreation room where awaiting her was a beauti- fully decorated birthday cake and many gifts. Joan Peters, Ann Hazel- ton, Ellen von Pohle, Dorothy Sta- cey, Marilyn Dart, Carol Grubbs, Yvonne Arvidson, Daina Ramey, Shirley Burton, and Dorothy Ras- mussen were among those who say the cake you baked was delicious, Miss Whitfield. Last Saturday night Yvonne Ar- vidson had a surprise birthday party for her roommate, Carol Grubbs. Those who helped Yvonne had a hard time trying to keep the party a surprise. They were Bebe Kal- dalil, Dorothy Rasmussen, Orlene Erickson, and Eileen Lorenz. MV Sunshine Bands Visit Nursing Homes, An Ophanage, and Hospital Every Sabbath A udic JU Sdti The King's Bl RTHS Members of a sunshine bond help make life more interesting for children in the Or- thopedic Hospital on Sabbath afternoons. Daughters' League, the upper division dormitory girls' club, seems to be having quite a time deciding how to respond in answer to roll call. When asked for suggestions, one of the members « y quickly replied, "Let s answer with the name of our favorite boy friend." To that another replied, "I'm undecided." The club's latest project to raise money to purchase a gift for the dormitory is selling breakfast-in-bed to those who do not have the courage to get up in time to go to the cafeteria for break- fast. "Ouch-what did 1 hit?" "Oh, that is just part of the doors they are putting between the landings to prevent drafts in case of fire." We will have to start to worship a few minutes earlier to get through all those doors. It seems that some of us girls were privileged to go home for a week-end visit. Upon returning late one night, several girls were greatly surprised when, as starting up the front steps leading to North hall, they were caught and held fast. Up- on investigating the situation, they were relieved to find that the first step had been replaced with new cement, and the rope which was holding them back was meant to keep off people like themselves. "Cheer and happiness are spread to 150 individuals by the Union Col- lege sunshine bands each Sabbath afternoon," r e p o r t s Ray Bailey, their leader. "Children are made happy by the nursery songs pro- vided at an orphanage and chil- dren's hospital, and older people ex- press gratefulness for the visits of these youthful singers to nursing homes." Between forty and fifty UC stu- dents are in these bands which visit at least seven institutions regularly each week. Places visited are: Stout's nursing home, Stern's nurs- ing home, Chamberlain's nursing home, Petersen's n u r s i n g home, Cedar's orphanage, and the Lincoln Orthopedic Hospital. Ray Bailey, junior ministerial student, is head of the sunshine bands. The band meets at 1:30 o'clock every Sabbath in the church where they divide into groups. Each group visits two or more places. John Ruffing, Robert Beck, Mari- eda Blehm, DeWayne Rhodes, Mar- vin Stephens, Ronnie Nelson, and Ray Bailey lead out in the individ- ual groups. Mr. and Mrs. H. Lloyd Leno, Mr. Earl Leonhardt, Mr. Robert Firth, Miss Betty Christen- sen. Miss Floda Smith, and Mr. R. A. Johnson assist the bands with transportation and as sponsors.

Just 3 Doors West of the Post Office READY TO SERVE YOU Pressing WhiSe You Wait Open Sundays -PRICES RIGHT- er This is one of those "true-to-life- experience stories." I didn't have this true-to-life-experience just to find material for this column or even to be able to make a music review; now that I think of it, it would have been a good way. You see, I joined the band. The Union College Concert Band, that is. It happened like this. One foggy morning in late Janu- ary, a young man named Mr. H. Lloyd Leno (note parting of name on side), who is not only young and named, but also a band direc- tor, leaned casually against the front desk at the Music hall and stroked his chin. "I wish I had someone to play the school's flute," he said. "Would any of you like to learn?" "Oh, yes, but I'm much too busy!" chorused several voices (it was just before choir rehearsal). 1 didn't chorus very well at that minute. I was thinking. I was much too busy, too; besides, it had re- cently come to my attention that I should study once in a while; be- sides, it happened to be semester test week. So I said, "If I worked hard and learned how to play the flute real quick, Mr. Leno, could I join the band and maybe go on tour?" "Sure, if you learn how." That very afternoon I took the flute home with me. 1 played and played. I played the family right out of the house, including the cat, who became very unhappy with me and has reappeared since only peri- odically. After an hour I could play two notes. Several days later 1 showed Mr. Leno that I could play a C-scale, and he gave me a fingering chart with which to learn, properly this time, how to finger. Then one clay —oh, joy—he told me to appear at band practice. I was there—on time. When the director raised his baton, I lifted the flute confidently to my mouth and waited for the down- beat as the signal for the band to begin to play. ZOOM! They were off! Not off key—just way off ahead of me. Noise, noise, rhythm, cymbal, notes, noise, noise—and I sat there quietly with the flute in the proper position on the lower lip. Not that Mr. Leno lets people into the band who can't play; oh, no! He said he thought it would be good experience for me for next year, maybe, when I aspired to play the oboe. He said if I couldn't get a note, to sit still and look intelli- gent. I tried. I soon discovered that if I bent slightly forward in my chair, pursed my lips over the opening, and wig- k Courteous EFFICIENT | • • • o • o • o • o o o o o o o o o o o o • o <> o Saatk eMail Clatt^i The reconstruction of South hall is being gradually completed. The intercommunication system is again working in nearly every room, and the plastering is all done with the exception of filling in around the windows of a few rooms. The paint- ers have painted the entire dorm with the second and final coat of paint. In the cafeteria the new tile floor has been laid, the ceiling covered with acoustical tile, and the walls have been painted. The new table tops have come, but there are no legs for them yet. We hope they get here so we can use the new tables for the men's ban- quet. New drapes for the cafeteria have been ordered, but it is doubt- ful that they will be up for the banquet. When the rooms were painted, the fellows got to choose the color for their rooms. It seems that Mar- dian Blair and Laurie McLaughlin wanted their room to be painted a tan beige. When the painters came in to start, Jim Wilmot happened to be in the room listening to their radio. He decided to clear out, and, as he was walking out, he overheard one of the painters ask the other what color the room was to be. Jim tossed the joking remark over his shoulder that he supposed "they wanted a pink beige." When Mar- dian and Laurie came home from work that evening, they f o u n d, much to their unhappiness, a very pink room! Fortunately, it was only the first coat, so they got their wish for a tan room with the second coat. With nine-week tests here we see a lot of last minute cramming. I've got to do a little myself right now so that is all for this time. gled my fingers on the keys, I achieved the effect of playing. In just a few short rehearsals, I have become the best finger-wiggler in the band. (This fact may be dis- puted. ) Then came the big thrill. It was last Saturday night, just before the band concert. 1 opened the pro- gram, and there, fourth from the top under Flutes, was my name—my name! What matter that my uni- form didn't fit, that my flute was icy cold in my shivering fingers and would probably play way sharp. I suddenly realized that i was ac- tually in the hand, and in a few minutes I would be playing with them — all forty-five of them — in front of an audience. And next week end I would be traveling with them, on the bus, playing to different communities, to people who liked band music. And there would be people beyond the podium who smiled up at the band members and enjoyed hearing us play .... That's how I joined the band.
