The show, patterned after an old time burlesque promises plenty of laughs, slapstick comedy and good j entertainment, Mr. Cardwell said. It will feature a cast of forty people, thirty aviation students and ten cam­ pus girls in a series of eight scenes comprising everything from a barber shop quartet to a modified strip tease. Two rehearsals have already been held and more are scheduled in the near future. .

FORM AL SET FOR SATURDAY NIGHT On Monday, March 6, students, office secretaries, faculty, and all others associated with the college will be asked to contribute to the Red Cross. Contributions will not be in the form of annual memberships, but a response to an urgent request on the part of the Red Cross for funds (558,000,000 more than last year) to carry on its wide­ spread and vital work in the present war. — * Not only does the Red Cross assume the same functions, as it did in the last war, such as battle-field ambulance service and the providing of soldiers with sweaters and kits, but the army and navy have imposed upon it in this war many of the personnel tasks formerly performed by the military, among which are the making of emer­ gency loans to soldiers and sailors, liaison link between service men and their families, and the location of cap­ tured Americans in foreign prison camps. Home Front Not Neglected At the same time the Red Cross does not neglect the home front. One of the important tasks it performs for civilians is the training of nurses aides to relieve the war-time shortage of nurses in hospitals and clinics over the whole country. Mr. Kenneth Courson, business man­ ager of the college, is in charge of tl^e campaign for Ellensburg and Kittitas Valley. • .'"V" Committee Named The college * committed consists of Irene (Ppgey) Qlson, Barbara Fischer, Delia Forgey, E.

The theme chosen is Tabore, or drum, and the decorations and program will be carried out in an African scheme. One of the traditions that will be kept with this annual affair will ibe the absence of corsages on the girls' formals. It is a standing rule at the house dance, and flowers are always out of order.

' HONOR SYSTEM r In the last issue of the Crier, we printed an editorial, "Do We Have An Honor System?" The question was brought up during the recent elections when it was necessary to station a girl at the ballot box every second during the voting. During all elections there should be someone in charge who can answer all questions that might arise in the minds of the voters. In our recent elections for Colonial Ball queen, several ballots were counted invalid because students thought it was the Honor Council election and voted accordingly. All such errors should be eliminated by placing someone in charge to check for just such misconceptions. Then, too, we must have some means of protecting both voters and candidates from a stuffed ballot box. There are always a few who will not conform to the accepted way of doing things and who will take advantage of the laxity permitted by our Honor System. From these we must be protected. We are not striving for an idealistic Honor System, a goal which we could never hope to reach. What we want is a "work­ able" Honor System, that we can perfect and make good use of. It is impossible to close our eyes and say everyone is honorable and, therefore, can be trusted to uphold the standards of an ideal­ istic Honor System. It would be pleasant if we could do this, but we can't. We must face the fact that there are a few who will pull behind in everything, and we must take these few into ac­ count and set up a system that will deal with them for the protec­ tion of the majority. IDEAL FRESHMAN IS COMBINATION OF ALL Everyone has his or her idea of v/hat the ideal girl should be. Here are listed some of the "musts" for the ideal freshman girl on our campus. For eyes—"pools wherein my love lies"—Norma Conner and Jeannette Artz. The top rankers for sparkling and beautiful hair—Claudia Hovies, Anne Sutherland, 'and Pat Anderson. For lips you want to kiss (ummm) —Pat Zeimantz. Eyelashes that flutter their way into your heart—Gerry Slater. Competition for dimples—Freda Kershaw and Jane Litven. For tiny feet to walk away with your heart—Jeanne Kastle. Hands you love to touch—Anne Iv- erson and Doric Mc. Beautiful nails—Clara Neisz. For the cute, turned-up nose—Mary Elizabeth Delaney. The flashing smile that simply melts you—Peggy Blanchard. Patience (a needed virtue)—Trudy Adams. Friendliness—Madalyn Gordon, Ven- ita Mason, and Mary Skogsbergh. Creamy, yummy complexion—Geor­ gia Peterson. For that really, scrumsh figure— Ella Falen. Tiny ears , into which you want to whisper sweet nothings—Peggy Pairs. Ambition galore (we all need it)— Gladys Jett. Pep anl energy—Kay Elgin and Elaine Millard. Pleasantness (oh, hew necessary)— Ardis Scott. Wouldn't that really be one perfect freshman gal? P. S.—If she had Virgina Young's musical laughter. STUDENT LOUNGE At the end of last quarter the Student Lounge was closed as a warning that if we did not take better care of it, it would have to be closed permanently. . For a time we heeded the warning, but lately the general disorder of the Student Lounge has testified to the fact that we have grown careless again. Therefore, the Lounge will be closed for one week. If at the end of that time, we are willing to cooperate in keeping our Lounge in order, and, if a "suf­ ficient number of students are willing to volunteer to help, the Lounge will l?e opened at the end of the week. If you wish to help keep the Lounge neat, will you please sign your name to the slip placed on the door of the Lounge for that purpose. Your help yrill be deeply appreciated by the entire S. G. A. S. G. A. ELECTION Tomorrow all petitions for the coming S. G. A. election must be in. The officers to be elected are: president, vice-president, secretary, and four representatives-at-large. These must all have over 40 hours when they take office next fall. There must be twenty signatures on each petition. Two more Honor Council members must also be nominated by petitions. These must have 96 hours when they take office. In order to have the students we *want running our school government, we should get behind these elections and nominate them. HONOR COUNCIL At last Tuesday's meeting of the Honor Council it was de­ cided to abandon the rules regarding campusing for infractions on army student regulations. Everyone knows the reason these rules were made and it seems there is no longer a necessity for them. However, this ac­ tion places the responsibility on students, as that is the underly­ ing principle of the Honor System. Aviation Students still will be gigged if caught speaking to civilians during the time they are not on open post. But from now on as far as the Honor Council is concerned it is the personal re­ sponsibility of the individual whether she should speak to the aviation students. '/M 10 YEARS AGO By Phyllis Hunt »to uniform i 'J.tA Happy little morons All are we— Why we write the "Clatter" Is more than we can see. 'Tis almost the end of the quarter and we're still happy little morons, in spite of the efforts on the part of the faculty to educate us. We've just caught on to which class comes after which and they tell us that there's only two weeks left. There's one con­ solation, though, we may be moronish in our studies, we are certainly smart when it comes to such lowbrow stuff as gossip, so lend an ear, all you fe] low low-brows, and we'll let you in on the know. One of the latest combinations around good old CWCE is strictly an Irish one—none other than those two, Pat and Mike. Last names? Sure, anything to oblige. Anderson and A/S Riley. There were a few of the Navy lads at the Colonial Ball—escorts of Peggy Blanchard, Randy Dragness, and Pat Ziemantz. Did you folks see our little friend Dooley at the Colonial with A/S Sim­ mons? It's surprising how fast things do change here in the great metropo­ lis of, Ellensburg at the foot of Mount Rainier. It's the guy from home that still holds top placed on Louise's list She and Gordy (He's from'GdwicHki kids}' had a swellery weekend—everything was too perfect for words so we'll stop talking. Double Dealer of Flight 15-B turns out to .be a B. T. O. (Big Time Oper­ ator). He's escorting Leah Downey to the Military Ball, tonight. The reason we talk about you so much, Bill, is that you make such a big fuss—it's a lot of fun. Remember Cupid's Informal—way back when? (At least two weeks ago.) On the blind date list was A/S Done's name with the specification of "—a tall blonde, please." Well, Sunday night at Webster's Mr. Done (after considerable research, no doubt) ap­ peared with Char Halgren. Very neat. At the USO, Saturday night, Barb Howard and the Navy hit it off beau­ tifully. It's rather satisfying to see a navy-blue suit instead of khaki, once in a while. Jan Baker made another conquest, "Knutty Karapus Knick Knacks" March 1,1934 JAMES MERiRYMAN "Eddie Hoch could not hitch-hike home and see his girl last week end as he had rheumatism in his thumb. "With these nice warm evenings lots of the students are certainly re­ gretting the fact that Sue Lombard closes so darned early on Friday and Saturday nights. "Sign of Spring—Solberg has shed his winter underwear. "Frank Metcalf had better learn a new line to peddle to the women as they are all getting tired of his old one. "Carlton Vincent says that the only difference between a modern girl and a modem automobile is that a modern automobile has something under the hood. "The latest definition of celery is that it is rhubarb with sound effects. "Due to danger of my position as writer of this article, I am putting in my own epitaph so as to save some­ body the job of writing one. My Own Epitaph Here I am buried No longer I write I have at my head A tombstone of white. I'm up in heaven Way high above Writing knickknacks And making love." Ten Years After A V-mail letter received on the cam­ pus this week from Jimmy Merryman —in an entirely contrasting vein: "I received your very welcome let­ ter yesterday and will try to answer it. As you probably know by my ad­ dress I am overseas. Censorship is rather rigid as we can't say much about where we are except we are on Bara Bara. You should be able to lo­ cate this if you have an Atlas handy. "This place is made up mostly of basalt and along the water is coral. The only things I have obtained is an old bone needle and a long stone, sim­ ilar to the type the Indians used to grind corn with. Instead of grinding corn here, they grind up Taro root. There are quite a number of native graves scattered around here and there, but no one ever bothers them. "The natives are rather primitive. They fish with spears from outriggers and are quite skilled-in this respect. We are not allowed to tell what type they are though. They live in grass and bambo huts which are quite well built. Most of them wear American- made clothes and some know quite a little English. They are quite dirty and are not too healthy as the kids all have sores on their legs. They make a number of trinkets which they sell to the soldiers such as grass skirts, shell necklaces and bracelets, minia­ ture carved outriggers, carved beads, mother of pearl jewelry and a few things made out of coconuts. 1 Life is not too bad as we have good quarters and pretty fair eats. We gc swimming a lot, do some boating, also a lot of shell collecting—I have a pretty fair collection. We also go after wild fruits that are found here such as mangoes, bananas, coconuts, pineapples, avocados, limes, and sugar cane. There are also many exotic flowers here too. The tropics are all right but not for a white man. Even though I haven't been here long, I would like very much to get back to the states. As ever, JIM MERRYMAN." but what a time to do it! He's in Flight l5 and so he'll be leaving. Well anyway, she gets to go to the Military Ball. * Helen Hines and Mary Rowswell, two of our most dignified, sophisti­ cated upperclassmen were seen snow­ balling. 'Snow use to deny i^-we saw ya.

Given, assistant director of public information for Cleveland College, is literally "paper­ ed" with huge blow-ups of campus photographs... The Beloit (Wis.) College Round Table, which claims to be the second oldest college newspaper in the coun­ try, is sending free copies to men and women on the college service roll. Some additional copies are printed each week for this purpose, but most . of the papers come from collection boxes placed in the dormitories. When a student has read his copy of the Round Table he places it in a box and a member of the circulation staff picks up the returned copies. In addition, free copies are furnished members of the army air forces training detach­ ment stationed on the campus ... Richard R.

The "world's largest pencil sketch" is being rubbed out. Preliminary to "painting his large mural for the Hen­ ry W. Grady school of journalism at the University of Georgia, Jean Char- lot sketched in three panels—some 700 square feet—with pencil. To those not familiar with the processes of mural painting, it now appears the whole thing is being destroyed. Three workmen are removing the plastering from the long wall, and in so doing are completely eliminating the draw ings to which Chariot has devoted some three months. But every line of the original drawing has been traced and photographed. This copying has been done in small sections, which will be used to guide the artist as he goes about painting the mural in the new fresh plaster which is to replace that Ijeing removed.

EDGAR MASTERS RECEIVES AWARD NEW YORK—(ACP)—An $800 award for "eminence in literature" promises to relieve the difficult straits that have befallen the once fabulously successful poet, Edgar Lee Masters, author of "Spoon River Anthology." The award, presented jointly by the University of California, Harvard Un­ iversity and the Poetry Society of America, came just in the nick of time, his wife said. The 74-year-old author is recovering from pneumonia and malnutrition. His bills were paid by the Authors League of America. He was discovered ill in a charity ward last December. Bitter, brusque and proud, Masters had been dependent upon royalties from poems published more than 25 years ago. His recent books have earned little, his friends said, and "Spoon River Anthology" royalties, still coming in, have been just enough to pay the rent since about 1937. P. E.

(By Karl Keyerleber in the Cleveland Plain Dealer) (Associated Collegiate Press) One of the thing's that Rubber Czar Jeffers complained about in the office of war information report over which he disputed with Elmer Davis was the statement that the rubber situa­ tion "would darken before it became lighter." Jeffers said it wasn't true. I wouldn't know about that but I won­ der if he has considered the possibility that someone in the OWI merely stum­ bled over a cliche and didn't really mean what those words seem to say. "The situation will get worse before it gets better," which is the usual way of putting it,r is one of those combina­ tions of words that always seem to go together, like ham and eggs, in the minds of unwary writers. They often slip into places where they are not meant quite literally, but because they are so nicely rounded and polished from frequent use they drop into sen­ tences almost of their own volition. Writers Stumble Newspapermen are constantly fall­ ing over them. A poor writer just picks himself up and goes on as if nothing happened a good one learns to be vigilant in dodging their snares. Webster defines a cliche as a "trite phrase that has lost precise meaning by iteration a hackneyed or stereo­ typed expression." The word also means a part of an electrotype plate from which many reproductions are printed hence the usage. Cliches, then are tired phrases that have gone to the well many times too often. When it rains on an autumn Satur­ day half the corespondents in the coun­ try rush to the telegraph ofices to re­ port that the local football game was played "in a sea of mud." The other half call it a "veritable quagmire." Stories Packed Crime stories used to turn them up in volume. The victim, who had been beaten "about the face" with a "blunt instrument," would "fall with a dull thud" and be found lying in "a pool of blood," whereupon he would be "rushed to the hospital" while the as­ sailant made his escape in a "high powered car." -Phrases like "that "roll glibly off the tongue, to say nothing of the type­ writer. They are the gremlins of the city room and a reporter usually loads his stories with them without recog­ nizing them until he learns his way around. Then he tries to avoid them if he wants to keep a friend on the copy desk. , Cub Lists Cliches We once had a cub reporter in the sports department whose copy dripped with such phrases as "colorful cere­ mony," "riot of color," "tried and true," "lifting the lid," "bore the brunt," "time honored custom," a sal­ vo of applause," "dogged determina­ tion" and similar gems. A desk man, surprised at the flow, did a little in­ vestigating and found the cub had studiously compiled a list of bromide expressions which he drew on when­ ever he wrote a story. He thought they were good. So they were—once. Newspaper editors today are har­ vesting a brand new crop of cliches to take their places with those men­ tioned. Part of the crop is war ter­ minology^ more is what has been call­ ed "officialese," a cant peculiar tc Washington and its representatives. Things are done "at the national level" or some other level. Information al­ ways is "channeled" to the desired medium or to the public, the desks oi bureaucrats are covered with "direc­ tives" which must be "implemented." Prices never rise these days, they "spiral upward." TUBERCULIN TESTS GIVEN IN LOUNGE The tuberculin tests, which will be administered on Monday, March 6, will be given in the Womens Lounge on the second floor of the gym. Dr. John Srail of the Washington Tuber­ culosis Association will give the tests. Students are to appear at the time of their appointments, lists of which have been posted in the Walkway of the Ad building, in the library and in the gym. Every student is to report regardless of what his previous test has read. Those who have been posi­ tive before will come and make ap­ pointments for an X-ray. IReadings on the tuberculin tests will be taken on Wednesday so all students must take the test on Monday. DANCING AUTHORITY HOLDS CONFERENCE Llcyd Shaw, an authority on cowboy and folk dancing from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was in Seattle, Feb­ ruary 24, 25 and 26, to conduct a three-day conference and teaching ses­ sion under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Members of the staff from CWC, Miss Dortha- lee Home, Miss Jess Puckett and Miss Virginia Garrison, attended the ses­ sion. Mr. Shaw taught classes to all interested which included recreational and civic workers. Figures, steps and leadership calls were among many of the things which were demonstrated. A feature of the session was a swing shift dance for defense workers. MISS HORNE ATTENDS STATE CURRICULUM Miss Dorthalee Horne attended a meeting of the State curriculum on Health and Physical Education Sat­ urday, February 26, on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. The committee met with Dr. David Brace, an authority on tests aiid measure­ ments and a specialist in physical edr ucation in the U. S. Office of Educa­ tion, along with Lt. Commander Charles Forsythe and Lt. John Miller of the United States Navy. Dr. Brace stressed to the committee his theory on testing in the P. E. pro­ gram. It should be based on the ob­ jectives and curriculum of the pro­ gram, and the students should know what the objectives are. In attendance were members of the curriculum committee who are from various sections of the state. MORE WOMEN WILL ENTER DENTISTRY Be what you is, And not what you ain't. If your only the pigment, Don't try to be the paint. If only the tail, Don't try to wag the dog. There's many a tadpole, That will never be a frog. If you're just a little breeze, Don't try to he a gale. And the best little minnow, Shouldn't idolize the whale. So if you're just a nobody Don't try to 'be a saint. Just be what you is And never what you ain't. The Moron Hymn Scarlett is a little rat, Him don't know where him are at Him don't know just what him does, Him don't care just what him was. Him's content to go along, Doin' right and doin' wrong. (Him don't care just what we say, Just so we fill this space some way!) DETROIT, Mich.—(ACP)—Women dentists, as scarce now as women welders were before Pearl Harbor, will appear in the future in ever-increas­ ing numbers, Professor Charles W. Creaser, chairman of the pre-medical and pre-dental committee at Wayne University, predicts. Professor Creaser points out that of more than 1,400 dentists now prac­ ticing in Detroit, only 12 are women, and that throughout the country there are 35 men in the profession for ev­ ery woman. "The skill which women in war in­ dustries are displaying in the manipu­ lation of small tools$" said Professor Creaser, "gives ample evidence of their aptitude for at least one phase of den­ tal work. Furthermore, we know that the few women who have entered the profession have proved exceptionally successful, particularly in the fields of children's dentistry and orthodon­ tia." Dr. Creases also emphasized the existing need for Negro dentists, both .male and female, and quoted Dr. M. Don Clawson, director of dental edu­ cation at Meharry medical college, Fisk University, as saying that there are only 2,000 Negro dentists, very few of them women, serving the 12,- 000,000 Negroes in the United States.

THE CAMPUS CRIKK HERODOTEAN CLUB PRESENTS LATIN AMERICA A public forum was given Feb. 24' in the Student Lounge by the Herod- oteans, history major and minor club. The theme was "How Latin America Got That Way." Jean Stubbs presided as Chairman and Dr. S. R. Mohler acted as Arbi­ trator. The subject was presented in two rounds. The first was back­ ground factors which are essential in ti\e understanding of Latin America. The second was led by Betty Lou Baker in an explanation of the Mon­ roe Doctrine. Evelyn Mathews fol­ lowed with a discussion of "Points of Friction in the Caribbean." Phyllis Goodwin presented the "Good Neigh­ bor Policy," and "Argentine-Ameri­ can Relationships" was discussed by Bette Gray. Discussion and questions followed the presentation of material. It was concluded that much of the Latin- Americain difficulty came from the United States insagacious handling of people of a different culture. The United States' attempts at being neighborly, are those of an adolescent bgy, awkwardly offering flowers and candy to someone with whom he.wants to..- be friends. A foreign policy is practically non-existent. Not all Unit­ ed States approaches have been point­ less, however, and the United States is encouraged by a recent effort on the part of Latin Americans to seek their friendship, because of c impetus from within their continent. ROGEL PRESENTS FILM ASSEMBLY One of the most unique assemblies of the year was held during the as­ sembly period Tuesday morning. Mr. Edward Rogel, Director of Visual Ed­ ucation here at C. W. C. E., gave a brief summary of the work and fu­ ture of Visual Aids, and conclude with a varied selection of films. The first film "Plant Growth" made use of movies taken through microscopes, showing the actual growth in slow mo­ tion of a plant. The second filrr "Children of China" took you by pic­ ture right into the home life of China. The third and last film was "News Parade of 1943," which included the outstanding events of the year 1943. In emphasizing the future of Visual Aids, Mr. Rogel remarked that the training period for the army has beer, shortened 40 per cent through the of Visual Aids'. He also stated th: ' no other mechanical device has so in­ fluenced the lives of the human race as the motion picture industry. Mr. Rogel extended an invitation for all those interested to go over and visit the Visual Education Office. If enough are interested, Mr. Rogel will try to form an informal class where students can learn about the various machines. lie THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1944 I TING LENDS COLOR GA COLONIAL BALL SHAW ENTERTAINS WHITBEGK MEMBERS ^fhitbeck Clulj members spent a hilarious evening in Dr. Shaw's abode Wednesday, February 23. If Dr. Shaw tried to prove that the members were "quiz kids," he failed—or maybe the questions were unanswerable—who knows? After playing all sorts of games, Mrs. Shaw showed off her cul­ inary abilities by producing the most edible "Brownies" ever, plus ice cream and coffee. The next meeting', will be in spring, quarter. WOMEN DRAFTED SAYS COLLEGE DEAN NEW YORK—(ACP)—Dean Vir- ginia C. Gildersleevie: of Barnard^ col­ lege, recently returned from England, says she sees no reason why Ameri­ can women should not be drafted "for national service—particularly after observing the beneficial results of such conscription in Great Britain." British women have accepted con­ scription "quite cheerfully" now that England's man and woman power situ­ ation is "beyond the point where they can let people choose," Miss'Gilder- sleeve: asserted. fit W-t " .'V i ? :y'- FliVAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE - WINTER QUARTER, 1944 • i, including practice teaching terminate at 1:00 March 15 -' • - t • .. v • .:. 2:00^4:00 Daily 9:00 classes 2:00-3 :()0 MFW 9:00 classes 3:00-4 :00 TTh 9 :00 classes •.

(Picture courtesy Ellensburg Record) TEXAS WHOPPERS' COMPILED IN BOOK AUSTIN, Texas—(ACJF)—Plenty of the Texan's favorite type of humor —"whoopers" o r "windies"—are sprinkled through a new publication of the Texas Folk-Lore society. "Backwoods to Border," as the col­ lection is titled, was edited by Dr. iVIody C. Boatrignt, University of Tex­ as professor of English, and Donald Day, editor of the University Press at Spuithern Methodist University. Articles in the book include "A Buffalo Hunter and His Sorig," by J. Frank Dobie "The Arkansas Trav­ eler," by Catherine M. Vineyard\ "Well Done, Liar," by Dr. C. F. Arrowoodj University of Texas professor and "Anecdotes About Lawyers," by Lloyd E. Price. EXHIBIT PICTURES NEW ARCHITECTURE An exhibition of photographs and descriptive text entitled "What Is, Mod­ ern Architecture?" has been on dis­ play in the mam hall of the Adminis­ tration Building. The collection was loaned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and sponsored by the Department of Fine and Applied Arts. Nine large , panels containing photo­ graphs and descriptive text demon­ strated the differences between tra­ ditional architecture of long accepted and copied styles and that of the more rational modern architecture. The text accompanying the photographs gave a summary of each one, and stated the case of modern versus tra­ ditional architecture. Another series of pictures showed some of the best examples of work •by the greatest architects of today. Enlarged photographs of .buildings by Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies Van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Stonorov and the late Albert Kahi: were included in the exhibition.

SAM'IS FRIEND TO ALL Today when we receive a notice from Dr. Samuelson's office it does not necessarily mean that our grades are low. It is probably just an oppor­ tunity for us to become better ac­ quainted with the Director of Person­ nel. To the freshmen, he is a coun- seler and adviser, one who is really interested in each individual's activi­ ties and betterment. Dr. Samuelson thoroughly enjoys working with people and earnestly maintains his theory that there is mostly good in all people —we are more nearly correct to thrnk good things about cur fellow men. ' - A graduate of Superior State Teach­ er's College, Superior, Wisconsin, and o*' Milton College, M lton, Wisconsin, Dr. Samuelson confirmed his educa­ tion and received his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees at the University of Wiscon­ sin and later1took graduate work in education at Columbia University. At Milton College Dr. Sainuelsor: maintained a balanced activity sched­ ule by participating in varsity foot­ ball, baseball and other fields such as drama, debating and S. A. T. C. work. He feels that the supreme moment of his college career was when he took the part of Falstaff in "The Mer­ ry Wives of Windsor." In 1918 while participating in the S. A. T. C. (similar to the present A. S. T. p.) at Superior State Teachers' College, he marched beside, another of our faculty, Dr. Shaw. It was a lucky coincidence, for the two men to meet again after 18 years both as faculty members in our college. In 1932 Dr. Samuelson earned his Ph. D. degree in Education and Psy­ chology and came to Ellensburg as Director of Personnel and Placement, a position he has held continuously since then. A year ago he became also Dean of Men. Before coming here he taught and was principal in various elementary schools and high schools in Wisconsin. Interest in boy's work led him to ac­ cept teaching positions in woodcraft and nature studies at the Culver Mil­ itary Academy at Culver, Indiana, for 11 consecutive summer terms. Being a great lover of the out-of- doors he finds enjoyment in fis,hing, hunting, bird study, hiking, tennis, and similar athletics. Travel is an­ other fascinating hobby and some day Dr. Samuelson hopes to drive over the Alcan highway or else head in the opposite direction for a trip into Mex­ ico. , Reading in bed is a favorite pas­ time right now. Very confidentially, Dr. Samuelson confessed that his se­ cret vice is reading the New Yorker and Esquire magazines. With magnolia trees all about the new gym and scenes of cotton fields helping out, all who attended the Col­ onial Ball Saturday night were trans­ ported as if by magic, back to ,the, southern colonial days when ladies wore bouffant skirts and were shy, un­ assuming creatures. Cameos Carried In keeping with the theme, the pro­ grams carried by the ladies depicted cameos with silken ribbons to tie about their wrists. Over head there were low hung stars that shimmered and sparkled as they turned in the breeze and caught the reflection of the .lights. - % Music was provided by a four-piece orchestra for the first time this school year and dancing took place between 8:00 p. m. and 12:00 p. m. Queen Crowned During the evening, the crowd wait­ ed anxiously for the moment when the queen of the ball would be placed on her throne and crowned. At inter­ mission time, the moment came and out of the five girls nominated by the classes of the 314th C. T. D., Peggy Blanchard was crowned queen by Dr. i II. E. McCcnnell, while the attending princesses were Charlotte Halgren, Lois White, Beverly McDonald, and Virginia Crimp.. Entertainment was provided by Dorothy Johnston who. sang "Star- eyes" and "You and the. Waltz and I," accompanied by Maxine Klassen at the piano. . Refreshments Served Refreshments were served from a little "log" cabin in one corner of the gym by two "colored" folks. During the second half of the dance, everyone was pleased and surprised when Les Hoyer, in the V-12 program at Whitman College, got up on the band stand and gave out with a few hot licks on both clarinet and saxo­ phone. In the reception line were Misses Shirley Dickson, Kathleen Chapman and their escorts, Dr. and Mrs. Mc- Connell, Dr. and Mrs. Samuelson, Mrs. Annette Hitchcock, Mr. and Mrs. Vic­ tor Bouillon, Mr. H. J. Whitney and Mrs. Chapman, and Captain W. A. Whiting. | WORLD HIGHLIGHTS o , ——?— — o Monday, February 2V —An Allied force of 2000 planes made a fourth r^id in 36 hours by bombarding Ger­ many.
