My biggest thrill came with my first engagement. My wife and I were just married, I had given up a job in an insurance office in order to devote myself to music and while we were waiting for the offers to come in our budget was pretty slim. We didn’t like to admit even to our- selves how slim it was! One day we were expecting a visit from our | respective families and we wanted our little flat to look extra fine. Since we were not able to afford help, we cleaned the place thoroughly our- selves. My wife was washing windows and I was down on the floor scrubbing when the telephone rang. A woman’s voice came over the wire asking for Richard Crooks and offering a concert with a local woman’s club at seventy-five dollars. It looked like a staggering amount to us! My hands were wet with soap- suds and I was wild with joy, but I managed to keep my balance.

In the evening he made a special plea for aid for refugee students in Europe and the Far East.

Water Bottle Found In Auditorium: Owner Must Have Expected Headache By BARBARA KEUZENKAMP If ECTC had a “campus vender” he’d be going through our dark halls calling, “Water bottle found. Who wants a water bottle, a beautiful green water bottle!” And maybe if you’d stop him, he might tell you the very secret secret of its history. It wasn’t told to me. I only heard it said that this particular green water bottle was found in the audi- torium after the play Saturday evening! Hum-m-m. We’re wondering just what the person who brought this water bottle with them, expected. Did they expect the play was going to give them a headache, and so came prepared? Or perhaps they were so excited about the play that they'd eaten their supper too quickly —result a stomach-ache, but naturally being loyal to ECTC they had come stomach-ache, water bottle and all to the play! Now the question is who was it? Detectives have been assigned to the case, but have so far only uncovered the fact that the water bottle was found only three. short feet from the press box! That looks bad, Dorothy. Hint detectives: start snooping in the staff room! P. S—Owner may claim by identifying same at Miss Grigsby’s office. Professor R. C. Deal Makes Seven Talks Professor R. C.

Privilege Extended Last Thursday a privilege was extended to the student body when the “Y” Reading Room was reopened on the recommenda- tion of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet on condition that the students do not abuse it as they did previously. The Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. provided the room for their religious purposes and they opened it to the use of the students in order that they too might enjoy their room, their books, their magazines, and their comfortable chairs. At the present the students are on trial to prove to the two “Y’s” that they know how to respect others’ property and how to conduct’ themselves properly. If they cannot convince the “Y” cabinets of this then it will be closed definitely to them. If the students want to keep the room open, now is their chance to prove it. ‘that in Spring a young man’s faney ie " lightly turns to thoughts of what | young girls have been thinking of jall year, it is the purpose of this |column to help solve any problems which might arise from such a state of affairs.
