OTO Squaws Knit Socks And Mitts Weber men are observing with interest and suspicion the activity of the ' Squaws these days. The women may be seen at any hour, clustered in groups as at a pow-wow, the silence broken only by the click of knitting needles, an occasional muttered "knit one, purl two," or a shriek of frustration as that all-important stitch is dropped.

That was my day to shine my big moment! I was lucky j enough to have been chosen to j go with President K. A. Dixon, ; Mr. Walter C. Neville and Mr. Ralph Gray to the field to greet the legislators in the early hours of the morn. Our purpose was to impress the state law-makers with the progressive activities carried on by Weber college at Hill Field. With wondering awe I beheld the high state officials and marveled that they appeared so calm and cheerful despite the screaming gale that tore at hats and skirts, and the steady downpour of rain. My Friend I arrived at the post-school auditorium breathless and damp, so I scanned the room and decided to sit in an inconspicuous place. Immediately after taking a seat on the aisle beside a : small, friendly-looking, quiet little man in a dark hat and over- coat, President Dixon appeared i at my side and introduced me I to my "inconspicuous" iriend &TaSds Are Awaroea Beige Leather Twelve pledges of Chanodo vho have deemed worthy of the Lincoln green and beige accepted the club vows at the serious initiation ceremony on Sunday.
