I am sitting at my typewriter directly in front of a huge expanse of weather-spotted window. Above me the sky is china blue. Three minutes ago (I counted them by the clock) I looked out through that same brown-streaked glass. The sky was not blue. In ' fact I couldn’t see the sky at all because the rain was so thick it blotted out everything that wasn’t on the ground floor. iiiver. adventurous, I raised my eyes once more after that last pe riod. There is a smoke-black mask f across the china-blue sky. In A . moment it will rain again. • Junior weekend! i Ye gods, Mr. Pluvius, use dis . cretion! t * * * ... This afternoon I wandered over to the sculpturing room at the-art . building to see what was going, on. I had heard rumors of Strange • animals lurking in.hidden comers : there . . gigantic bulls, enormous , horses, gargantuan creatures of worlds unknown. And so I just . . . sort of . . , wandered over. . I had hardly opened the door , before I was confronted with a huge spherical object. “Ferdinand the Bull,’’ the young lady who was slapping wet paper towels upon the great, shapeless • thing, informed me. But before I had taken time to ponder over Ferdinand and decide which end was posterior and vice versa, a monumental purple fig ■ ure in the next room caught my eye. A moment later I was stand • ing before the biggest Buddha I had ever seen. At his feet, bent over in an attitude of prayer, was a young freshman lad. “Isn’t he taking the thing a bit too seriously?” I thought to my self. “After all, it is only a papier mache dummy for a canoe fete float.” And then I saw that the young man groveling at the base of the ancient deity was doing a very irreverent thing. He was plastering axle grease across the god’s great toe! ' “Makes the paper strip off easy,” someone grunted in answ'er to my incredulous inquiry as to the reason for this undignified action. An annual visitor to Oregon’s great May festival recalls the fol lowing story with great glee. * It seems that in the clays when floats were built with only one side for show (the other being bare unsightly framework) one of the campus living organiza tions decided to build a float on which Joan of Arc would ride. ■ mounted on a great bronze horse. It was to be a tremendous thing. The boys thought of nothing else for weeks beforehand. They slaved on it during the day time. They dreamed about it at night. At last on the day of the great MOTHERS!

Although Betty Pownall, who was last year’s queen, is still in school and a little undecided about the future, she expects that she will probably assume a career in the business world after gradua tion.. There is evidence that matri mony beckons royal blood, for to date records show that Dorothy Teepe, the first queen of Junior weekend, who reigned in 1930, El eanor Lewis, queen in 1931, and Dorothy Hall, 1932 queen, are all married to successful business men. After graduation, Josephine Waffle, who ruled over the 1934 Junior weekend, received a M.A. degree from Wellesley college in 1936, and is now teaching at St. Helen’s hall in Portland. Margaret Wagner, who reigned in 1933, is yet unmarried, and is employed as a secretary in a Sa lem hospital. Very prominent in the social af fairs of Altadena, California, and still single, is Mary Morse, who ruled over Junior weekend in 1935. Peggy Carper, who sat on the throne during the 1936 Junior weekend, is residing in her home in Portland. event the float was finished. It j was a thing of beauty. Workers from other houses stood around and surveyed it enviously. “Gee, what a knock-out!” they exclaimed whole-heartedly. “We haven’t got a chance.” And then came the hour for the fete to begin. Float after float drifted through the curtains under careful guidance so that the spec (Please turn to page seven) ^ vr < College Women ' ; • . < Comfortable yet very prac- . ! tical for active sports wear. ] A MODERN MISS CREATION £77„ "W'jJr' THE WEDGIE Show in both Copper Calf < and White Calf leather.
