We yell and yell and have good yell leaders, but wouldnt it be nice to have some music to go along with it? The music section of the college has always been strong and in the past there was a pep band on the campus. Today, there are enough students on the campus to form a small band. Some of those students have indicated that they are willing to give time to make possible this organization. If a few start, others will follow. The problem seems mostly to get the proper backing and leadership. Surely somewhere on the campus can be found the answer to this stumbling block. band. 95.65 Busi- ness Manager, Campus Crier. That much you have done for your paper, but that is all financial. What other ways have you helped in putting out a decent paper? You can take a look at the staff and see that most of the work is being carried on by a very few people. Any help that you have or can give them, will make a better paper. The mem bers of the staff are as busy as you if they are to find the time to do something for you, then surely you can find time to do something for them. That way, we can truly make it your paper. FERRY HALL All day Monday, January 30, the strangest things were happening. We woke in the morning to the horrible sounds (the last day for sleeping late before classes started) of furniture scraping, people yelling and sounds of sweeping. What was happening? We jumped up to complain and discovered a new notice on the bulletin board First Room InSo we Tomorrow. spection toured the Dorn. What amazing things were going on! Not only were rooms being cleaned, but people were moving from room to room. Hazel Hanley and Freddie Dart were parting coihjny ?

Janice McFarlane gained a new roommate Angelena Wu. We are very happy to welcome you to the dorm, Angelena. We would also like to say goodbye to all the girls who have moved out of the hall. We miss you. The upperclassmen thought this had nice it they year with second floor all to themselves, but it seems the Frosli have moved in on them now and the noise has increased. Oh where, oh where, has our little dog gone ; Where, oh where, can she be? With her tail cut long and her ears cut short, Oh where, oh where has she gone? The ambitious girls of Ferry the smokers, that is have decided to redecorate the smoker. This will make much nicer sur- roundings for the bitter canasta games which go on night and day. Even Miss Deardorff found her way up for a game the other day, but it was too rough for her. We hear a rumor around here that Miss Horn had a little trouble getting Mr. Day to go home the other night. Now what was he doing over there???? Did you hear about Dell Bleaz-armoving into Ferry Hall? Seems they made him move out when the girls returned from d NOISE OR ORGANIZED NOISE? There is a need for some organthe form of a pep ized noise-- in Xmas va'cation. Girls Social Hour Westminster Organized Women are planning to have a social hour for town girls and dorm girls every Thursday morning during the chapel period. The tea will be served in the Blue Room of Ferry Hall. Purpose of the gathering will be twofold; it will be a chance for the girls to get better acquainted and a brief g relaxation. Every woman will receive an invitation. Because of limited time and number of guests to be invited, it is requested that Miss Horn or Betty Hadley be notified if you cannot attend on the day invited. The guests of February 2 were Misses Doris Edwards, Jeanne Lathrop, Ruth Shorthill, Betty Hadley and Ruby E. Horn. Miss Ruth Paden, instructor in elementary education, was a faculty guest. mid-mornin- FOSTER HALL Things have been pretty quiet over in Foster Hall ! ! through the semesters close, that is. During exam week the noise of studying went far into the night, especially in Bob Snethens room. This naturaly was the center of most of the bull sessions and earthquakes, of Foster Hall. (Just ask Bill Hanafin about the earthquakes). VERA CRUZ MEETING (Continued from page . 1) maybe once, then nature teaches you differently. It wasnt long after the sun went down that the girls came out. Naturally, when the girls come out, so do the sailors. The plaza is the center of night life in Vera Cruz. It covers a small city block, well lighted, with sidewalk cafes on two sides of the block. Here the girls of the city walk around the square to the right while the boys walk around the block, to the left. When a young man sees a maid with whom he wants to walk he has to follow a set routine. The first time around he will smile to the girl. The second round, he will nod. The third, he will speak. Should the girl feel in the same mood, she will speak on the next round. The next round should see the young man walking with the young lady. But, that lasts for only one round! The girl then must take the boy to her chaperone for proper introductions. If approval is given at this time they may then either walk around the plaza or take a seat and talk the chaperone must be able to keep an eye on the couple. If things seem to be going really well, the young man will invite the girl and chaperone into one of the sidewalk cafes for a cool drink (usually the chaperone will pay for her own drink) .
