The other day, the honorable professor was attempting to employ the services of a Pekingese puppy belonging to a sight-see- r at the college. Being a sight seer, our lady guest called on Mr. Lees first, and he immediately took a fancy to her little dog. Would you mind if I borrowed your Pekingese for a minutes? asked our beloved teach. Whatever for? replied, the seer indignantly. Well, said Lees, we are trying to move that junk on the stage to make room for my and I thought we would hitch up your pup to that crane. What?

Leaving Salt Lake on Friday, January 31, the choir made its first stop in Provo. From Provo -- By Melva Lynch Looking back through the years of college we, the seniors, stop and look. Where has the time gone? As second semester rolls around and the final step in our college career draws closer memories of yesteryear come flooding back. In the fall of 1954 we arrived on the college campus awed by its newness and scared of what lay ahead. A stranger momen- tarily, the firm . clasp of friendship was soon shown to each of us. It wasnt long until the new school was no longer a place to be awed but one to be loved. After the initial shock of college finals . . . "Do-Flop- " Student Discounts Open Every Night for .

On February 3 the choir arrived in Los Angeles County and sang in the Granada Hills Presbyterian Church. Sunny Southern California was its typical self; however, a little dew presented some flood conditions. Our over-ambitio- choir then moved on to Fresno, Santa Cruz, and Fremont, and then paid a visit to Carmel, where they waded in the surf and gradually got all wet. During all this travel, Trudy Price had acquired the name of cuddles, several girls had been running baefoot through Jim Santys hair, and Carol Boam had been taking pictures of the female choir members as they put on . . for Free Home Demonstrations See Russ McOmber or Call HU 4-99- 01 $ their robes. r things became a routine. As Sophomores we became quite arrogant, initiating the new frosh and metting new faces. As Juniors we became mighty upper classmen. No obstacle was too difficult to meet. Finally on a bright September day we enrolled as humble Seniors. None was left to look up to, we were the top brass. Schedules had to be worked and reworked .to fit in enough upper division courses to fulfill requirements. How strange it seemed to be filling in an application for graduation. All to soon the years had slipped away and the reality of going our own way was there. But college had become more than a place to receive an education. It was the culmination of drama and ambitions. It was the path toward a stronger, firmer life. Friendships never to be forgotten were made on this small area of ground. Each of us leave in June to places distant and unknown. Many of us will never meet again, but memories will still be found. for readin, writin, and ritheme-tic- . It is a place to broaden your friendships, mold your person-- , ality. A place to look back upon with fondness of good and bad , times. To think of the parties and rallies, the games and studies, the students and faculty. These are things which never again in our lifetime can be relived. So, in the last stretch of our college career, we the seniors are humble in saying, in all the trials and tribula- ' tions, through all the exams and papers, theres no place compared to Westminny.
