STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1943
Bulger, SEB Director, Writes
On ‘Why Remain{in Teaching’
This is the first in a series of ar-
ticles written by prominent figures
at State College on “Why Remain in
Teaching?” This article was written
by Mr, Paul G. Bulger, Director of
the Student Employment Bureau
and Assistant Principal of the Milne
School. Subsequent articles will be
contributed by Dr, John M. Sayles,
President of the College, Dr. Milton
G, Nelson, Dean, and Dr. Robert W.
Frederick, Principal of the Milne
School.
There are one million teachers in
the United States at present. Of
this number, there are about 84,000
in New York State. New York City,
Buffalo, and other large cities em-
ploy about 45,000, leaving 39,000 in
smaller cities and rural communities
of the state. There is a shortage of
teachers at present. Different esti-
mators have reported this shortage
to be from 50,000 to 75,000 in the
country, New York State has its
proportion of this shortage, although
the shortage in the state is
critical as in other states because of
the better salaries that it pays to its
teachers,
At State College we train people
to teach in New York State schools,
Our graduates are placed in some of
the best schools in the state,
Salaries, in this state, for teachers
are on the upgrade. ‘This year many
teachers are beginning at salaries of
$1400 fo $1500. The maximum sal-
ary in some school systems for
teachers with a master's degree is
about $2400. I believe that these
increases will continue, In addition
many schools are giving bonuses
and increments this year to meet the
increased cost of living, What other
profession offers $1400 to a begin-
ner? Lawyers until recently re-
ceived a weekly salary of $6 to $8
when they were starting practicing.
All doctors don’t drive Packards.
However, you must realize that al-
though salaries are being raised at
present, there will soon be a stabil
ization period.
During the last depression, teach-
ing was the only going business.
Even skilled mechanical laborers
entered the teaching profession and
secured certification,
1 also believe that teaching is a
public service. Most of us want to
perform some public service and the
answer to this search can be found
in the teaching profession. In addi-
tion, we have often heard that youth
is the hope of the future. Teaching
affords that opportunity to deal with
youth.
The social standing of teachers is
good. It’s a clean job—a job where
you are constantly growing intellec~
tually.
In a recent survey of over 2000
graduates of State College, it was
found by the Student Employment
Bureau that many graduates are in
the service. About 98", of these
servicemen indicated that they
wanted their folders to be carried
on in the SEB files since they
wanted to return to teaching after
the war is over. This point alone
signifies to me that there is some-
thing in teaching that gets hold of
a man and keeps him in the field
with hing as a life position,
We'll always have schools and
childven. The people of the
of New York alone spend
lion per year on education. New
York State offers some fine schools,
comparatively high salaries and
worthwhile security to those who
remain in teaching
What other profession offers ten-
ure of office (0 those who enter it?

Dr, Samuel S. Dorrance, an
authority on aviation medicine and
a member of the Class of 1932,
After his graduation from State
College, Dr, Dorrance attended Al-
bany Medical College and ranked
first in the United States in. the
National Board Examinations which
are given annually to Senior medi-
cal students. He then served a two
and a half year internship at Mt
Sinai Hospital in New York City
and won a fellowship in medicine to
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
At State Dr. Dorrance was a
member of Myskania, Edward El-
dred Potter Club, and voted the
most popular Senior; as well as
being Editor of the Echo and a
member of the News Board.
Students Wishing Teaching Jobs
Urged to File Data With SEB
Mr. Paul G. Bulger, Director of
Student Employment Bureau, re-
quests all Seniors who wish jobs for
next year to hand in their folders
and pictures immediately. In order
to facilitate interviews, they should
also hand in schedule cards so that
they can be contacted at any time.
Openings for jobs to be filled im-
mediately and in September are
coming in rapidly, To date most of
the openings are in the Commerce
field. There are 15 jobs open for
Commerce students and only 18
students actually registered in the
Commerce department. Other posi-
tions to be filled are as follows
ence, 12; Mathematics, 5; Libra
English, English-Lib A
lish-Social Studies, 2; Social S
English, 3;
h-Spanish, 1; Latin-
Mr, Bulger stresses the problem
which the graduating student faces.
On one hand there is a definite need
for hers in the schools. How-
ever those who apply for a tempo-
rary lice must remember that
they will be at a disadvantage when
the war is over and they are forced
to compete with teachers who have
received their masters degree. Mr.
Bulger feels that it is a personal
problem and he will be glad to talk
to any Senior confronted by these
alternatives,

Junior
ERC Air Cadets
Receive Orders;
Leave March |
Math-Science Majors
May Stay for Semester
The future of State’s enlisted men
took on a new turn this week with
the receipt of orders by Enlisted
Air Corps men and also the possi-
bility of ERC men majoring in
science or math remaining for the
whole semester.
The Enlisted Reserve Air Corps
members received notice for active
duty sometime before March 1.
These orders came through Tuesday.
Although the army continued their
usual vagueness with these orders,
the members in this reserve can
be expected to leave anytime within
the coming three weeks.
Another phase of the situation
was presented Wednesday when Dr.
Milton G, Nelson, Dean of the Col-
lege, met with the 16 math-science
majors. According to one of the
many communiques received by the
Dean, those students in the ERC
who are pursuing approved tech-
nical engineering courses may com-
plete any semester which they be~
gan since January 1.
Although this is not certain, the
wording of the report is such that
these few students may fall into this
category. And a taboo is put on
the idea of changing a major since
the record in possession of the army
the major of a student as of the
ginning of the semester in Sep-
tember, It applies alike to Sopho-
mores, Juniors and Seniors.
“Meteorogical acceptees most like-
ly will not be called to active duty
before beginning their course,” said
the Dean at the meeting. However,
if they should be called, they will
indulge in basic training until the
course opens.
The remaining ERC students are
living in hourly expectation of re-
ceiving their orders. These may
come with 24-hour notice or 10 days.
State College has also been put
on the approval list for training of
aviation cadets. 281 training in-
stitutions of the country were
named. However, this does not
mean that cadets will enter the col-
lege. Only a relatively small num-
ber of those named will be used for
such purpgses, and the odds are that
State will not be one of them.
Greek Initiations
End This Week
KDR, Kappa Betta and

mal initiation last Thursday night
Two pledges Robert Merritt and
Roger Wall became members at the
formal initiation on Sunday after-
noon, James Miner received his
pledgeship.
Edward Eldred Potter Club had

Junior Weekend Plans Include Class Banquet Today,
Crowning of Prom Queen at Dance Tomorrow Night
by Barba‘a Putnam and J, Michael Hippick:
Banquet
Tonight at Herbert's the Class of
"44 will hold its banquet, begin-
ning at 5:30 P.M, inaugurating
their gala Junior week-end. Fea-
tures of the banquet will be the
enacting of a prophecy, written by
Janet Baxter. Starring in the pro-
duction will be Hal Ashworth, Trece
Aney, Bernard Skolsky, June Ban-
tham, Bill Tucker, Mary Domann,
Ray Verrey, Mildred Wirosloff, Paul
Barselou, Janet Smith, Helen
Brucker, Honey Schoen, Bert Kiley,
Mary Betty Stengel, Russell Blythe,
Ginny Moshak, Leda LaSalle, Rhona
Ryan, and George Erbstein
Also a class history, written by
Hal Ashworth and Betty Gravelle,
will be read. The presentation of
the history and prophecy will mark
the first time a Junior class has
included these at a class banquet
After the food, some will adjourn
to the gym and watch ra, one
of the best basketball teams in the
East, play State, Others, no doubt,
will remain... .
Junior Prom
Tomorrow night in the Ingle
Room of Pierce Hall, Paul Parker's
10-piece orchestra will furnish
music for the Prom. Featuring Lee
Sherman as vocalist, Parker's band
is one of the most popular of the
district, having played at Colgate,
Hamilton, Union, R.P.1., Russell
Sage, St. Rose, and the Albany
Country Club. The outfit plays fox
trots, waltzes, rhumbas and other
novelly numbers.
Bids ure at an unusually low
price, $1.65, and for those who as
yet have not obtained theirs, they
will be sold at the door.
Following the rule of most pre-
vious dances this year, the affair
will be semi-formal, lasting from
9 P.M. to1 A.M.
The Coronation
The haunting crescendo of a tenor
sux—a boogie-woogie beat on ivory
keys—whirling, gliding shadows on
a slippery floor—all these will be
part of the Junior Prom tomorrow
night.
To one girl this dance will be a
great occasion—perhaps the most
thrilling episode of her college
career. It will be HER night, for
she will be crowned Queen of the
Junior Prom, selected for her beauty
and popularity from all the women
of the Class of '44. It is an honor
dreamed of by every entering co-ed,
destined to become a reality to only
one, And who that one will be is
a secret guarded by know-all Mys-
kania, not to be revealed until time
for the coronation.
This year there are six aspirants
to the coveted throne, chosen by a
preliminary vote of the class. They
are: Trece Aney, Georgia Hardesty,
Pat Latimer, Ginny Moshak, Mary
Studebaker, and Mildred Wirosloff.
Certainly we can't go wrong with
such a pulehritudinous group as
that!
It is even possible to compare
these beauteous contestants to the
queens of history. Petite Georgia
Hardesty brings: to mind Mary of
Scotland, envied by Elizabeth for
her auburn hair, the proud tilt of
her chin, her sincere friendliness.
Wonder what Bothwell would have
done if Georgia had been around?
Something about Trece reminds
us of—yes—Cleopatral Now there
was a woman with beauty and
brains and ambition, all rolled in
one snappy package. She managed
Egypt and Anthony with equal suc-

SCT Comes Through
Great was the speculation as to the outcome
of the WAC-motivated State Fair. Great were
the apprehensions and the difficulties. But the
results proved that the worry ‘had been in vain.
Once more the student body of State College
turned out full force to make yet another project
a complete social and financial success. Faculty
member and student alike pulled together for
an evening of fun and painless contribution to
the war effort.
The .pessimists who gloomily predicted the
failure of the project were sadly off the beam.
State has spirit and lots of it! Congratulations
are in order to the students for their cooperation
and willingness. The achievement unquestion-
ably warrants an annual repetition of the event.
In the opinion of many, the affair was second in
importance to nothing but Moving-Up Day.
And the triumph was in no small measure due
to War Activities Council. More power to it!
Ode to the Junior Class
In many ways, at many times, the praise has
sounded loud
For the mighty feats of ‘44, a most unusual
crowd!
We think the applause is well deserved
At this or any time,
‘To you we'll raise our hearts and cheers
In prose, in song, in wine.
The past has been brilliant, the present the
same,
May the unattained future keep stainless our
name.
State will long remember the record we leave
behind,
Our match in spirit and intellect will be very
hard to find,
‘Lo those who've gone, to those who will leave,
Vo those who will remain,
Vo each and every “44—
Good luck—we'll meet again!
Should Auld Acquaintances
Midst the singing of songs and the recalling
ol such memories as the time Combs and Forrest
were “hog-tied” and thrown on the stage during
Assembly or the time the Sophs locked us in the
balcony during Assembly and the key remained
mysteriously lost until Dr. Nelson miraculously
turned it up, the Class of 1944 will banquet this
wy at Herbert's,
aquet will be the first get-together
that the present Junior Class has ever spon
sored; it will also be the last get-together for
some of the men with their classmates for a
long time,
The Class of 44 has never lacked spirit; it has
possessed it in abundance, Let's cuke the ban-
quet a roaring success, a pleasant memory for
thigss men to carry with them until they return
to the bosom of wie Alma Mater,
Russians Stage Frontal Assaults;
Capture Many Railroad Junctions
The Russians are proving that
they can capture towns faster than
people can pronounce them. Al-
though daily Russian communiques
announce the capture of more and
more towns and villages these local-
ities are not important in them-
selves, but are valuable because
they are railroad junctilons and
control the lines of supplies. Rus-
sian frontal assaults against German
strong points last Spring were un-
successful. This time the Red Army
is advoiding costly attacks against
the enemy’s front, and is fighting a
battle of encirclement and cutting
the Germans’ supply lines, The
Russians are advancing upon Kar-
kov from the North and South but
not from the East. The southern
drive is reported within 22 miles
from the city. The Germans are
offering stiffer resistance at Rostov
while the Russians are attempting
to encircle the city from the North.
North Africa
General Alexander, British Mid-
dle East commander, reported from
Cairo that General B, L. Montgom-
ery’s powerful 8th Army was now
advancing into Southern Tunisia.
Rommel is feverishly working to
prepare the Mareth Line in attempt
to stop the British advance.
Although some of its units may
be sent elsewhere and many of its
veterans may be returned to Britain
or the Dominions, the British 8th
Army will remain a fighting force
after Africa falls and will be avail-
able for an invasion of Europe
where and when the high command
thinks best. Augmenting this po-
tential striking force will be a
large proportion of the British and
American units now fighting in
Tunisia. This, in effect, was what
General Alexander told correspond~
ents, He acknowledged the diffi-
culties caused by heavy rains in
Tunisia, but he is certain that the
Allied operations in North Africa
will end in the expulsion, capture,
or destruction of the Axis forces
there.
South Pacific
The Japanese High Command ad-
mitted that they had evacuated their
forces from Guadalcanal and from
the Buna area of New Guinea.
General MacArthur had announced
three weeks ago that Australian and
American forces had killed . 15,000
Japs and captured that important
Jap beachhead, Allied aircraft had
prevented the Japs time after time
from landing reinforcements on both
these positions. General MacArthur
also reported that the attacks against
the Japs on the Island of New
Guinia are progressing satisfactorily,
Peace Forums
The PM newspaper has been de~
voting several of its pages to Peace
Forums. Prominent men and women
have expressed their views and
opinions on such subjects as what
to do with the conquered territories,
post-war economic problems, and
reconstruction. Our big job right
now is to concentrate on winning
the war, but let’s break the ground
for some heavy concentrating on
winning and maintaining the peace
after the war.
Orchids and Onions
by Betty Marston
Two plays were given
The one I liked;
T'other I did’n,
The first play of the evening, un-
der’ the direction of Ruth Schmitt,
was a noble attempt to create some-
thing from nothing. The paramount
defect was the play itself; it died a
painfully slow death caused by ex-
cessive use of drugs, Still, the
actors might have realized that they
were playing to an audience, They
all had their moments, but there
were times when they might have
pulled the play from the doldrums
and didn’t, especially during the
final scene.
Harley Dingman startled the
audience into good humor during
intermission. His, shall I say,
“unique” interpretation of the “In~
dian War Dance” should echo into
a State tradition.
The second production was di-
rected by Vera Willard, who has my.
congratulations for attempting an
expressionistic play and making it
successful. The acting of both
Elaine Drooz and Marie Joyce was
superb, particularly in respect to
their voice projection. And the
two male voices, being Bert Kiley
and Fred Crosby, expressed their
characters beautifully. Above all,
a curtain call should be taken by
the sets and lights, Both were per-
fect adding atmosphere and mood
through the symbolism in design to
the drama.
Quite pleasing entertainment.
We Can't Take It
We're not trying to imitate the
Seniors, albeit our odes, prophecies,
and histories, On the contrary, we
are simply recognizing that this is
a war year, that, therefore, things
are different, and that to many of
us the events of the past few week:
will be the last of our college days.
So here and now, we, the Class of
1944, wish to make and declare
this to be our semi-final will and
testament in form and manners as
follows:
To the Seniors—our
many pleasant’ memories, many
good friends. Our best wishes for
good fortune no matter what the
future holds.
To the Sophomores we wish to
leave the example we have set for
them in sportsmanship, spirit, and
wit. We think that '45 has possi-
hilities; we hope that they will
develop them.
To the frosh—well, they're still
sort of an unknown quantity, but
they've showed fight, they've got
brawn, so we leave them our brains.
After all, with '44 as a sister class,
"46 can’t go wrong. (Or ean it?)
To the Sophomore Desk Editors,
the Junio: Associate Editors leave
their efficiency, their initiative, their
ingenuity. May they keep high the
torch we throw to them, To the
freshman Aspirants, well, we be-
queath the “ashes and sparks” that
fall in the course of our meteoric
careers. They may only become
little comets, but we can’t all he
planets.
To future dramatic artists, the
greasepaint crew of '44 leaves its
record of Page Hall triumphs, May
they equal, if possible, the achieve-

dramatic wizard:

To neophyte musicians we be-
queath the artistry of Earle Snow,

‘To embryonic wits and intellect-
uals, we leave the humor and brains

“Our last formal—May the memory of what has
been, ever be.”—quoted from Junior Prom Bids,
There has been an understanding between th
Higher Education Division of the State Educatic,
Dept. and the colleges to the effect that students 1:
good standing reaching the half-way mark in second
semester may get credit for the whole term, but only
if the college in question so desires... Any sucl
grant would be determined on an individual-studen
basis, yet at least it offers a fighting chance for {hh
seniors (albeit the odds are heavy) in their lon:
drawn out struggle for ye olde degree. . . .
With all due respect to the excellent opportuniti
for discussion presented by this Student Christian
Movement conference, we can’t help but be reminded
of Westbrooke Pegler’s epic comment on Mrs. Rovsi
velt’s London trip, which also has application her:
“It should shorten the war at least a year, ?

Sayles Stresses Teacher's Role
During Post-War Reconstruction
This is the: second in a series of
articles which will appear in the
News on “Why Remain in Teach-
ing?” They are written by eminent
members of the faculty, This article
is by Dr. John M. Sayles, President
of the College,
“The educational process is a pro-
gram by which ideas are spread,
by which plans are formulated,
through which directions are given,
and by which institutions are or-
ganized and planned results ob-
tained,
“There are two things immedi-
ately ahead of us, both of which
have to do with winning. First, we
have to win the war. Second, we
have to win the peace. After that
peace is gained, we have to recon-
struct a society.
“The educational process by
which society will be reconstructed
has many approaches, It will be
done through the pulpit, public
platform, daily press, moving-pic-
ture, and through the very formal
process of the daily classroom. That
gives to teaching a very formal
function and makes the teacher a
very important person.
“That person who is going to
be the teacher in our future so-
ciety should be well-informed and
socially-minded about his commun-
ity, state, and nation. He should
acquire definite ideas and ideals
about the kind of state which he
wishes to have and concerning the
formation of which he wishes to
have a part. That is why I believe
that the teaching process is impor-
tant,
(When Dr. Sayles was asked why
he had remained in the teaching
profession instead of pursuing a
promising career as a hotel admin-
istrator, he replied that it was a
rather difficult question for him to
answer.)
“Most of us chose more or less
unconsciously. I believe that there
is an innate search for beauty in all
of us, We strive to express beauty
in many ways.
“Each day's program is one of
choice. We must choose to do
something worthwhile, not just
whims. We are responsible for some
things, and we have to direct that
responsibility, With this daily
choosing we have to have the abil-
ity to decide on a plan which may
be modified from time to time, and
also the ability to adhere to our
plans although others may criticize.
“Our choice is the result of this
innate search for beauty. The edu-
cational process is slow. You can’t
become discouraged or you'll lose
the process, To express this beauty
is often a process of planting and
the repetition of varied approach
not only to achieve satisfaction for
ourselves but also to educate others
to appreciate what we have sought
and obtained,
“It is part of our program as
teachers to direct this daily choice
and to cultivate more desirable and
a higher sense of beauty.”

C'est la guerre!)
Sports in Particular
FBowling—last year’s addition to
the intramural program—is again
due to get going, At the last coun-
cil meeting, the representatives all
promised a team. Rice's alleys are
being dickered for. In about three
days the league should be ready to
roll. Let's support this league as
well as we do the others and as
well as was done last year.
Basketball—Varsity .
The general concensus of opinion
is that the boys were missing some-
thing besides the basket last Satur-
day night, Specifically, the old zip,
diive, heart, whatever you want to
call it, was lacking. For the first
time this year, the team didn’t seem
to fight.
‘And we say, “Don't blame only
the varsity.” We have never seen
more lethargic stands than those at
a State basketball game. It really
helps’ a team a lot to know that
spectators are rooting or them. How
about forgetting our professional
attitudes and dignities for a while
and letting out a good old-fashioned
yell?
Add a Bit of Humor
We really climaxed a none too
successful basketball career last
‘Thursday when we did our best to
score a basket for the opposition.
We thank our lucky stars that, as
“usual, the shot rolled around the
tim and dropped outside.

league as soon as possible, Although
confronted with the growing prob-

resent intramural teams expect to

Clancy Oarr, who has been ap-
pointed head of the bowling league,
expects the first matches to be
played next week, He added a dour
note, however, by saying, “Of course
the calling of the ERC and the
Aviation Cadets renders impossible
any predictions as to how the season
will eventually culminate.”

Eagles to Play
Niag ra Tonight
In Page Hall Gym
‘By Stan Gipp
Tonight the Eagles will face the
most formidable foe they have yet
encountered, for Niagara Univer-
sity, beaten only three times this
year in competition with the best
teams of the nation, is slated to ap-
pear on the Page Hall court. If some
miracle happened, even greater than
that one three years ago, by virtue
of which State won a one point vic-
tory, it would be the major basket-
ball upset of the year.
Next Wednesday St. Michaed’s
will pay its annual visit to Albany
to play the Eagles, who defeated
them handily last year, St. Mich-
ael’s has had little success this year
so far, having a record similar to
our own,
There is a great deal of doubt
concerning the presence of some of
the varsity players at this but sev-
eral of the JV’s will be able to take
their places, perhaps more ably than
they.
Last week the Statesmen played
one of the most pathetic contests
ever witnessed on the Page Hall
court, losing 61-35. The blame for
this failure can hardly be placed en-
tirely with the players, for when
what is known as the “varsity”
players had a chance to perform—
the first, third, and fourth quarters
—Pratt was pressed to the limit.
The height, impregnable zone,
and ability to score at will against
State’s feeble reserves produced a
run-away before the half, A pep
talk, the return of the first string
players to the lineup, and despera-
tion, however produced a much
closer second half and prevented
the complete loss of prestige.
Raphael and Kaplowitz, a Pratt
substitute, took scoring honors for
the night. Hansen, Combs, and
Mullin netted the lion’s share of
State’s points, which was only a
mouse’s share of the games.
Psi Gamma Wins In Bowling
‘The WAA bowling tourney which
got off to such a good start last
February 2 is still rolling along
smoothly,
Last Thursday, two more league
games were played, only one of
which was completed. Psi Gamma
defeated Cooper House, in two out
of three games. The Kappa Delta-
Moreland Hall game was not com-
pleted however, and this game will
be finished up by tonight.

JV‘s Lose to Siena
Resuming their schedule last
Wednesday, the Junior Varsity bas-
ketball team lost to the Siena Col-
Hie J. V. team, 29-18, for. their
Joss of the season.
The Eaglets, fighting for their
fifth win of the campaign
to keep close enough during the
initial half, trailing by only two
points at the intermission, but, tired
by 9 large unfamiliar court, failed
to match the opposition’s counters
during the final period. Hippick
and Riccardo were high for State
with five points each.
In a previous meeting this year,
the Purple and Gold handed Siena
its lone loss of the year.
The jayvees resume activity to-
night with a return match with
Pharmacy College.
Finks, KB, Potter
Win One Each
During the past week three games
were played in the Intramural lea-
gue and interest in the outcome is
growing as the half-way mark ap-
proaches. The various squads are
working together much better now
than earlier in the season and the
next few weeks may show many
changes in the standings,
In the first game played a week
ago yesterday KB scored a 16-10
win over SLS to take over third
place. The winners made the most
of Rabineau and Koblenz’s height
to control the ball off the backboard,
while the losers missed the services
of Buck Hippick who is now with
the JV’s. The game was featured
by a new low half-time score of 4-3
when a great number of shots were
missed by both, but the tempo be-
came slightly faster in the final
quarters,
In the second game Potter Club
maintained its winning streak with
its fifth victory, but found a fight-
ing KDR team constantly at its
heels. The winners enjoyed only
a slight 15-13 margin after two
quarters and were almost tied early
in the fourth stanza when quick
baskets by Evans and Gipp put them
out in front for a 31-24 victory.
The State Street quintet showed
again its power to wear down its
opponents and it looks as though
they wind up the first half of their
games without a loss. Gipp led the
scoring with 15 points, while Evans
and Baden garnered 9 apiece.
In an early game Monday evening
the Finks again hit the winning side
with a close 19-18 conquest over the
Dorm.

large number of girls come out for
the league games, held Wednesday
nights in the +
Last Wednesday night, three more
league games were played. The
first was a afst exciting game be-
tween Newman Hall and Beta Zeta.
With good guarding and Garall’s 11
points leading them on to victory,
the Newman contingent emerged
victorious from the struggle with a
19-13 score.
The second game was a battle
between Cooper House and Delta
Beta Chi (formerly known as the
Dorm A team) Due to LaSalle’s 11
points, and the six points each of
Domann and Herdman,, Delta Beta
Chi triumphed to the tune of 23-18.
Much interest is shown in this team
which won the trophy in last year's
tournament, and is well on its wa
to a repeat performance of this deed,
being tied for first place in the
league with Newman, both teams
having won their first two games.
The third and final game o the
evening was that between Wren
Hall and Moreland Hall. Much ex-
citement ensued in the final quarter,
because of a tie score of 12-12. In
an overtime period, Wren gained
the lead with a foul shot and em-
erged triumphant over Moreland,
13-12.
Wet Stuy :
By Margoe Byrne
WAA is getting up aaa new
and different—a sleighride. All de-
pends, of course, on the weather, so
if you are interested, send up a
few prayers for some nice fluffy
snow. The sleighride (if it goes
through) may take the place of
WAA’s annual banquet, plans for
which are somewhat frustrated by
the labor shortage and food prices,
(lens of the times). It hasn’t been
lecided whether it’s for gals only.
(Although it Eres us to say so, how
could it be otherwise?)
Pat Latimer also has a cheerful
bit for the would-be senior life
savers. Ten cents is to be refunded
for every hour of attendance in the
seventeen class course. This is a
fairly good cut of the twenty-cent
fee.
Nicest score of the week—Garfall
bowls 199.
Added irony—in an outside-the-
league game.
It appears that some of you ping-
pong players haven't noticed that a
tourney is on. Surely, more than a
dozen people want to enter. Don’t
forget that only three supervised
hours are needed out of the ten re~
quired for credit, Let’s all get be-
hind the ping-pong tournament and
make it something for future sea-
sons to aim at.
WAA is really on the ball this
season. Have you seen the list of
sports on the bulletin board?

here just in time, and must leave
immediately after assembly. It is
via the latest model of the Douglas
