Hurry, Miss Holiday needs first aid!” In the lives of die “book people” these tragedies are not new occurrences—tom pages, cut out articles, broken backs, and scribbling. Beside these “accidents,” there are occasions wh&i the entire book or magazine walks off never to be found again. Moreover, some of the valuable books and magazines purchased recently, such as “Current Biography,” “Holiday,” “Congressional Digest,” and “Time,” are not used to their fullest extent. Circumstances, although not at their best, are not too des perate. Since the checking system has been developed, fewer magazines and books have been stolen and damaged; however, 20 books and 10 magazines have vanished this year. Because the majority of the editions have had years of use, borrowers need to give them the best of care. z So that all the new additions to the stock of the school library as well as the old will be used with the care they war rant and to their highest worth, why not adopt better methods of treatment? If you show that you have learned to handle them correctly, the fact will add force to the idea of purchas ing new editions to replace some of these books that have earned their retirement through 12 years of use. GREENBACK TRAVELS ON HAZARDOUS TRIP Skippers to Suffer Fantastic Fates With vacation and all, how hard it’s been to keep close tabs on the comings and goings of our fellow students, but gather round chillun ’cause here we go again. Naturally as the year draws to an end the upperclassmen step out front and take the lead. A few of the almighty seniors went out to Jantzen Beach to hear Frankie Laine. The lucky kids are still swooning. Jean McLean .wants a little publicity. Why else would she get in such an unusual position in Portland, especially with Dick Duval to tell the tale? A few other seniors clamor to get in the, news, too. If it’s good enough for Portland papers, it’s good enough for us. The seniors aren’t the only ones who have done interesting things. Ginger Lubeck is brag ging about long talks with a cer tain Oregon State boy. What a “bull session” you gals must have had over that chat! Many boys are considered a little too fast but not Gib Wright. His friends tell us of his peculiar slow drawling way of saying, “Do you want a carrot?” With many long years of ex perience, we’d like to warn Don Barry about girls; Sometimes, Don, they’ll slap a guy for prac tically no reason at all.
