The
Backseat Driver
By MARTHA STEWART
'Junior Weekend!
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

... 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.

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.

Ex-Queens Have
Varied Careers
After Graduation
What the future holds in store
for Virginia Regan, this year’s
Junior weekend queen, might be
reflected! in the accomplishments
of former weekend royalty.
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

Hair Swirls Upward
For the young lady who prefers doing her hair in a somewhat
more sophisticated fashion than the currently popular feminine curls
this sleek style will be a pleasant relief. The hair is brushed up
smoothly with the curls turned under.
