YOUNG MRS. FITCH... - graduate Secretary Retains Youthful Sparkle By KUTH GREEN Mrs. Clara Lynn Fitch, for 20 years associated in various capaci ties with the business personnel of the University, has not grown old with h?r years; her zest for living and her sense of humor is as gay and young as any held by the college students with whom she deals every day in her work as graduate secretary. She began her work with the University as chief clerk in the registrar’s office back in 1019 un der Carlton Spencer, who was reg istrar at that time. “When I started to work there, ^Ir. Spencer handed me a copy .of the University catalog and told me to memorize it. Thereafter, I spent most of my spare time doing just that.’’ Mrs. Fitch said. Evidently that study and her years of experience have-stood her in good stead, tor there is scarcely a member of the University staff she cannot welcome with a greet ing: coming from long years of friendship. “Seek and Sock” Mrs. Fitch types with the hunt and-peck method, but she does it so dexterously that she puts to shame many of her colleagues who employ the touch system. Her chief irritant is to strike an “1" or an “i” when she intended it to be an ”o.” “It's so darned hard to erase them so you can strike over,” she chuckled. She is associated with various organizations in Eugene, among For a Clean BBO n you will have to hav< your clothes laundered the NEW SERVICE WAY. a mm Spring term requires lighter and white clothes.

Parker McNeil, who takes a lead ing part in the comedy, has fully recovered from the measles and is now attending practices. Jerry Lakefish, Jim Parsons, and Parker McNeil are busy perfecting their fencing technique, as they engage in a bout at the conclusion of the first act. them the Very Little Theater. A j year ago she won recognition with her portrayal of a minor character in their presentation of “The Punkard.” Special periods in history claim most of Mrs. Fitch's reading in- j terests, and she usually chooses a country each year about which she j reads as much as possible during the winter months. “I’m in China” “When someone asks me to do something extra that I don’t want to do or can’t do, I just tell them that it’s impossible because I’m | spending the winter in Spain, or | Chile, or wherever I happen to be I reading at that time. This year ! I’m in Egypt.” Her eyes twinkled with merriment. Orphan Finds Relative Pioneer Has Kinsman b.v hele:< ax gee The pioneer mother isn’t just a lonesome statue any more. She has relatives. For Ken Sawyer, University freshman, claims her as ‘‘some thing like a fourth cousin,” and the antique violin which he plays belonged to the statue model’s father. "Mother” Brown, the lady whose figure is cast in bronze for Ore gon's most historic statue in the center of the ermpus, was just a little girl when the Bonner party came west in 184G, Ken explains Her father owned a Stradivarim* violir which they had to leave at the base of Mt. Hood wrapped in a blanket. Same Model The old-fashioned, worn violin that Ken plays is that same model. “X got it from my aunt for gradu ation' from high school." he ex plained as he fondled it with mu sic-loving hands, “and it came down to her from my grandfather.” "Burt Brown Barker, who you know is vice-px'esident of the Uni versity, is a descendant of the pio neer mother too,” the Bend fresh man went on, "and he believes the reason our family instead of his now has the violin is that a differ ent branch of the clan pieked it up later at the foot of the mountain." Now Neck The century-old Stradivarius model has a section of new wood in the neck that was put there two years ago to give it more utility in the modern sense. “The old violins all had short necks,” Ken pointed out, "and you could only play them in one position." Ken religiously got in touch with his family and searched early Ore gon history to get the facts straight on the relationships and the story of the early experiences. But the dark-haired violin player finally decided that there is a scarcity of Oregon historical facts. “Everyone in the family has writ ten something on the violin, I think,” Ken declared in a futile tone, “and there seem to be at least 10 different versions.” Reshuffle Probably the nearest to accur acy is that the violin lay in its quilt wrappings for two years, then this “other branch of the family” came back and picked it up and took it to the Salem country. Ken isn’t certain about its value, but ie sure he wouldn't give up the 4 Men s Drc.ss Wear Store De Neffe’s — are leading the way with the finest showing of “glad rags to be found any where, and you il find it easy to “make up your mind” when shopping at their store.
