VARIETY SHOW WOWS STUDENTS No.2

LARGE CROWD HAILS 'ELIJAH' 'ORATORIO rA large audience showed by enthusiastic applause their appreciation of the orato rio "Elijah", presented by the Palomar chorus, with Rollin . Pea se singing the title role, Dec . 5 in th e gym.

The chorus provided a stirring background for the superb singing of Mr. Pea se, who sang with authority and with a deep understanding of the role. .

Virginia Arnold, Vista sop rano, gave an exceptionally fine rendition of her part. A new member of the chorus, Ray .Waters., Carlsbad ten or, proved that he too is a veteran artist. May Kettering Allen, Esco ndid 0 contralto, not ,only gave a f ine performance at Vista but admirably proved her versati_lity by singing both sop rano and contr~lto parts at San Dieguito , Dec., 7, Miss Arnold being unable . to sing because of illness.

On Monday evening, Dec. 8, at Escondido High School auditorium, the chorus made its t~ird appearance in the oratorio. Here again they were vigorously · ap~ plauded for their brilliant performance by an appreciative audience. The entire cast and Mr. William A. Vogel, director, are to be commended for their splendid work.

Before an interested and attentive audience Thursday evening at the Escondido Grammar Schoo l auditorium, Rollin Pease made his final appearance, in a so ng recital.

Many persons traveled long distances to hear him, realizing their good fortune in having such a rare opportunity to hear so talented an artist.

Craft Classes Get New Bungalow, Materials The Crafts Classes of Palomar College now have a bungalow in which to c reate their masterpieces.

Heavy Navy tables are used for work benches. A kiln will soon be used to bake pottery. Some notable pieces of work completed to date include objects which are both beautiful and useful.

A new high in student activities was reached la st Wednesday night with the presentation of a talent show which evoked enthusiastic applause from the entire student body. .

Much of the credit for the success of the show· goes to Bill Swain, who organized the all-star revue, emceed it; and delighted the audience with the clever patter accompanying his intriguing and . a mazing magic act. • George Havin s and Jim Marshall opened the program by singing that old favori te , "Walking My Baby Back Home", with George accompanying their mellow harmonizing on hi s guitar.

Then Anita Ronay and Jean Smith, as;Gompanied by George , presented a fine duet version of the .?ver popular "Embraceable You. Cleo Sloan next bounced her way merrily through a very amusing monologue, "My First · Auto Ride."

Versatile George teamed up with Basifio Martinez to sing in both Spanish and English their own arrangement of the tuneful Mexi-can folk song, "Jalisco."

A swing quartet composed of Jerry Mattson at the piano, Dick Zachman on the trumpet, George Havins on the guitar, and Carperon Thomas at the ba ss gave out with tricky versions of two old classics, "Sunny Side of the Street" and "Sweet Lorraine." ' Lance Brakefield, Wally Rice, Bob Sikes and Ray Kerby enact~~ a sparkling skit, "If Men Played Cards. As Women Do", which wowed the audience, especially the female contingent.

Talented Ross Cope gave a bril- . liant performance, singing "The Hills of Home" and "I Got Plenty of Nothin'." For an encore Ross delivered an appealing mode;n ballad, "When You Walk in the Room. " Stage manager for the production was Frank Caldwell.

No man is ever cheated out of an honorable career unless he cheats himself. Believe in yourself.

Do your work the best you know how and you will not be cheated.

Your efforts will bless all who come

LORRAINE LINDEMAN . "Lindy" is the rrame of a famous aviator, but Palomar College has its "Lindy"-Lorraine Lindeman, Secretary of the Student Council.

She is black-eyed, 18, and as sve lte looking as, a fashion advertisement. ' Although shEl was born in Long Beach, Lindy has spe nt 12 years in Vista sc hools. She has a magnetic- attraction for popuiMity. It would take a comptometer to count all the ' offices she has held ' during her school life. As a se nior at Vista High, she was Associate Editor of the Annual, .Treasurer of the G.A.A. and Assistant Editor of the Panther High Lite s. There i·s also a trophy in the gym which she won for being the "Outstanding Girl of the Year."

"Last year was fun at Palomar, but it's lonesome this year," she says. ( 1· wonder if that ha s anything to do with Johnny Lawton being at Stanford?)

Lindy's suggestion is that there should be more cooperation between the students and council. ' With U.S.C. as his goal, George is following a liberal arts <;ourse in Social Sc iences, carrying Spanish as a language.

H is suggestion for the betterment of Palomar is that more clubs are needed to round out social activities.

Palomar's steiiar attraction in dances takes place tonight from nine until midnight. It's that semiformal Christmas dance we've all · been waiting for.

Then treat upon treat, Rex Phalen ha s been signed up to play the hop with his five piece combo.

As if that weren't enough, a musician who has played with Tom my Dorsey' s orchestra will sit in for the regular trombone player. This man is none other than Dick Zackman's twin brother.

The ' dance will take place at the Vista Womans Club house and Associated Student Body cards will be used for admittance; consequently there will be a slight c harge for outsiders a'ttending.

Jean White and Mary Richardson are planning the decorations for th19 dance, using the theme of two silhouettes. The silhouettes are · being made by a veteran ar<t student, Bill Rowe . The color scheme will be a striking combination of black and white.

Fun and refreshments a,re planned for all, with the freshman class serving punch qnd sandwiches. This fine evening's entertainment is sponsored by th'e Student Council.

Two Officers Elected As Sophs, Frosh Meet At a meeting of the Sophomore Class, held in the cafeteria December 8, Morse McDonald, president, . brought to tf1e attention of the class that because oj; a misinterpretation of the qualifications for Sophomore standing, an unqualified cand idate, who had been previously elected, had resigned as vicepresident. He stated that the normal qualification was 30 units of college credits, but that for many reasons it was ,b e.ing lowered to 28. He then opened the floor for nominations for vice-president.

Frank Caldwell and Howard Shogren were nominated, and Shogren was elected.

It was voted that the officers, Morse McDonald, pres.; Howard Shogren, vice-pres.; and Una Claire McCienathen, Sec.-Treas., would constitute a committee of three to draw ·up the class constitution, covering qualifications,. duties, and special powers, and submit it to the class. After approval by the Sophomore class, it will' be submitted to the student council.

Question of the Month * *' * * * Christmas spirit signifies to most of us the giving of presents to friends and a feeling of good will toward all men.

• If only this same spirit of giving and friendliness which is typical of Christmas could. be kept alive throughout the whole year, then such gigantic conflicts as the one in which we became embroiled on December 7, 1941, only eighteen shopping days before Chris·rmas, could be avoided.

Now that World War II has ended with a·n allied victory, it seems that there' should be understanding and cooperation between all nations.

But instead of this, however, we are in the midst of another world crisis.

If, instead of hurling sharp ve:bal srears at c:ne anoth~~· the leaders of all nations would show someth1ng o the Chr1stmas sp1r1t when they meet at Flushing Meadows, it is obvious that the world would be farther along the road to peace.

· ***** A NOTE OF APPRECIATION We on the staff appreciate the whole hearted response to our "H~p Wanted" editorial of last issue. Many students have contributed

to this, our second, issue of the Palomar Telescope. Contributors are listed under "Staff" at the bottom of this page.

If the Telescope is to continue to faithfully depict life at Palomar, we shall need the continued cooperation of these and other students. At the moment, we are especially in need of students to sell a,dvertising in Escondido and Fall,brook. Students interested should see Chuck Rogers, advertising manager.

As Mary looked in the Christ Child's eyes And tenderly stroked His downy head She m'u st have prayed to be wise-all wiseAs she lovingly watched by His manger bed.

Could she see by the light of the wondrous star Up the path of the Savior's life?

If I were she, and could see so far I would choose for my own-not the sce nes of strifeBut those that showed Him a c hild at play, Contented and happy, · helpful and kind; I would feel His presence, and hear Him pray, And later, I'd tfirill as he healed the blind.

I would watch by the shore s of Galilee While the multitude were fed; I'd stay by His side while He stilled the sea, And pray while He raised the dead.

But of all those scenes, these I'd love the bestTwo would be de a rest, if I were sheWhen I held His infant head to my breast, That would be precious-so precious-to me; And again I would smile, as He lovingly said Of the little ones clustered about His knee, As in blessing He placed a hand on each head "-And forbid them not, to come unto me."

* * * ** PALOMAR PETE In view of the present political situation in ~h.is country, I've decided that it might be a good idea io start <! new pol1t1cal party here at Palomar. We can call ourselves the Palocats, and then if somebody gives us the bird, .we ' ll have solved the meat shortage . The Palocats can run on the sfogan, "The other parties have been robbing you for over 250 years, now give us a chance."'

The financial situation is so closely tied up with politics that we can moke at least half of our campaign promi~es (whi~h are t~ be forgc:tte.n ofter the election, of course) on that sub1ect. We II prom1se to r~dlstr:­ bute the wealth. It doesn't make much difference, anyway. The r1ch w1ll say it isn't practical, and the poor will never find out i: i: is or not.

We can even promi se to reduce taxes. The way 1t 1s now, you get fined if you go wrong, you get taxed if you succeed . It' s not that taxes. are too high, it' s only that so few people make enough money to pay them . . More people get divorces on March IS than at any other t1n:'e.

That's when they find o.ut they can't support.the gove~nment and a w1fe on one salary. We Palocats will do aw~y w1th the·se 1ncome taxes and replace them with a perso~al ta x on we1ght. So much a pound. Then we politicians will be able to l1ve off the fat of the land . .

We'll make an education at Palomar one of the requ1rements for holding public office. The way it is now, 92% o~ moder~ .youth go to school and get an education; the other I0 1o go 1nto pol1t1cs. .

TEENAGERS FREER IN U. S. SAYS DANISH STUDENT Many of you have probably seen a diminutive red haired girl quietly making her way about the campus and have won'dered who she IS.

NEW MURDER JOLTS PSYCH CLASS; SANDY McLEOD. PERFORATES PAL The psch.ology class is, we fear, rapidly becoming a sink hole of iniquity. Las.t 'Week we reported the Laramie case, one of the most distressing it ha s been our fortune to encounter. This week we feel obligated to relate t~e shocking details of the Maloney murder.

It seems that there arose a difference of opinion between Stewart (alias Sandy) Mcleod and one Tom Maloney. Mr. Smith, being a conservative teacher, told the boys to "shut up", but they decided that a knock-down, drag-out battle was the on ly sol ution. Thereupon, as they both arose, Tom is reported to have taken a poke at Sandy and seeing as how SC~ndy resented it, he pulled out a .38 and made with the noise until Sandy looks like a screen.

The murderer then makes his dash for freedom and once in the student lounge proceeds to guzzle coke and smoke cigarettes to quiet his shaken nerves. During all this time, poor Tom is groani.ng out his last.

As the culprit is returned to the psych class for trial, the class has trouble deciding what the argument was about, how many shots were fired, at whom they were fired, and what clothes the culprit wore. In fact, Barbara Donath and Geneva Ware are reliably reported to hove fainted dead away during the shooting.

T~e consensus is that the Sandy guy is guilty, but because he had a good mouthpiece, he is still wandering about the campus with that homicidal gleam in his eye. DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T WARN YOU!

PATRONS GIVE RECEPTION; DONATE fURNITURE TO COLLEGE After the1 presentation of Mendelssohn's Elijah, December 5, the patron s of Palomar invited all those present at, the concert to join them in the cafeteria for refre shments.

Dainty sa ndwiches and delicious cookies were served. Coffee was poured by Mrs. Albert Chamness and Mrs. Sanford Bale, who wore gowns of red and green, respectively, which were appropriate to the Christmas season and added much charm ·to the pic;ture of gracious hospitality and beauty.

Recent donation's to the college from Patrons of Palomar are a davenport from Mrs~ Anabel Hyam s, Fallbrook; a chaise lounge and sheet mu sic from Mrs. Fein, of Vista; language and science books from Mrs. Dorothy Forbes of Fallbrook and the Fallbrook branch of A.A.U.W. and a radio from Mrs. Albert Chamness of San Marcos.

FLIRTING WITH CLOUDS ·You've heard tell of walking on air! Well, listen to this one! Remember that petite belle of spunk, impulse and fun, Carol Campbell ~ who was with us last year? Sure you do. Well, she is now flirting with the clouds in New Mexico. Just before Thanksgiving Carol made her first solo flight, the only girl to do so in the aeronautics class of which she is a member at the University of New Mexico.

"It's the most wonderful feeling to be up in the clouds all alone", Carol told her mother and dad when they visited her at Tha"nksgiving.

Mrs. Campbell informs me that the students each buy shares in a Piper Cub plane, se lling their shares to other students on completion of their course. The students at present own two Cub planes.

We are happy to hear about Carol, and wish her many happy flights among the clouds and also many safe landings.

SPORTS-15 Men Make Cage Squad Palomar College basketball season got officially und erway in El Centro, la st Saturday. Ten games are scheduled to follow.

With W arren Engleman, Bob Eichman, Bob Sikes, Bob Miranda and Danny Meredith all returning lettermen from last year's team, plus a flock of Freshmen, Palomar should have a successful basketball seaso n.

Coa ch Harper had the difficu lt job of cutting the squad down to fifteen players, so as to co ncentrate more on fundamentals. Following are the fifteen players who went to El Centro: Lee Anderson, Dick Brennan, Jack Clarno, Jerry J esson, Bob Miranda, Ray Kerby, Cli nton .Smith, Bob Sikes, Tom La Vaut Duane Sturges, Bill Carroll, War~en Engleman, Bo b Ei ch man , Danny Meredith and Vincent Meyer.

The squad held a practice sc r~m­ mage last Tuesday night, defeatmg the Escondido town tea m fortyseven to thirty-nine. This was quite a success for the yet un seasoned Palomar team.

BOB EMBREY STARS FOR FULLERTON J. C. Escondido 's Bob "Chuck" Embrey seems to have done all rig~t for himself at Fullerton College 1n football this year. The following is an excerpt from the Fulleton J. C. paper.

"From the moment Bob Embrey took a Santa Ana kickoff midway in the second. period and raced ninety yards to tie up the ball game, there wa s no doubt as _to who the winner would be as an Inspired Hornet team rolled over the desperate but ineffective Santa Ana Don eleven 20-6 to break a thirteen year jinx at Santa Ana last week."

Good work, Chuck!

COACH HARPER SAYS

SPORTS SHORTS

LETTER WINNE~

By Hal Standerfer

The coming of t he "Telescope" to the Pa1or~ar campus is appreciated by t hose who have long felt the need of a means of imparting information to students and a medium for discussing student problems. The athletic department and all students interested in sports will look forward to each edition.

Football season has been over for some time, and at the present time we are getting a good litart in basketball, but there are sti ll a few announce ments or pronouncements to be made concern ing football. At the end of the season it was agreed that we would have a n all-sports banquet near the end of the school year.

The fellows also voted for their honorary captain for the year, and Andy Waroff wa s elected. Andy called signa ls from his fullback position a nd because of hi s good work I consider him the outstanding back of the season. As outstanding linesma n and best allaround football player I would choose Jearl Jesson . Jerry was undoubtedly the most consistent player on both offense and defense, besides being a very popular member of the squad because of his friendly and sportsm(inlike attitude.

The following boys earned their letters and will rece ive them when they arrive: Lee Anderson, Dick Brennan, Jack Clarno, Stan Cook, Gilbert Gillogly, Leo Holland, Jerold Jesson, Cal Lewis, Herb Lopshire, Bob Miranda, Ray Kerby, Hugh Martin, Robin Patton, Allen Rollins, Willard Rollins, Manny Scruggs, Manuel Saenz, Hal Standerfer, Clinton Sm ith, Andy Waroff and Verland Wh ipple.

At the present time next year's football sc hedule is b~ing arran ged, and it appears that Palomar will be in the South Central Junior College Conference.

Some twenty boys are out for basketball and the following look the most promising in practice so far : Bijl Carroll, Bob Sikes, Clinton Smith, Lee Anderson, Dan Meredith Duane Sturges, Bob lkeman , Wa;ren Engleman, The sq uad will shortly be reduced to fifteen men.

Half of the men listed above were on the Palomar first team la st year.

Many of us have waited for some time for something to be done about choosing a ndme for

As basketball makes its entrance at Palompr, there are good prospects for a n excellent quintet. A six feet five and six feet four skyscraper shou ld give our opponents something to look up to.

Students are looking to thei.r basketball team to wreak vengeance on some of their football opponents. Some, especially, are wondering what Coach Gates of Oceanside is cooking up.

Have you noticed the decreased . male attendance since the end of the football seaso n? What' s wrong, fellows? School too rough?

For outstanding athlete of the month I nominate Mr. Jersey Joe Wolcott, uncrowned champion boxer of the world.

Max Schmeling, former heavyweight champion of the world, ha s started boxing again. Coold it be that he is attempting a comeback?

Dear Trojans: Don't feel badly about that Notre Dame 38, S.C. 7 score. We , too, have suffered-Oceanside 33, Palomar 0.

Hot Ping Pong Battles Rage In Dressing Room The ping pong table in the boys dressing room is the scene daily of many hot battles since the football season is ove r and the boys aren't worn out from a hard work out.

Gilbert Gillogly, Dick Brennan, George Havins, Andy Wickholm and Warren Engleman are some of the h ~ttest contestants to be seen; however few of the fans have been practicing the art in the last few days because of a shortage of balls, or maybe it's a shortage of finances.

Ping Pong is an interesting diversion and as there is room in that part of the gym for more tables, it would be very nice if the facilities were increased. In case so me of the fa irer sex are thinking that we are selfish because we want these tables put in the boys gym, they will be interested to know that there is a sturdy .door between this room and the dressing rooms proper and that girls are permitted. our athletic teams. All of the other sc hools which sprouted when Palomar did last year have chosen names. All of us agree that it is important to choose an appropriate name or emblem-one that will prove popular in the years to come. Beca use of our proximity to the Palomar observatory and the resultant publicity attached, the na me chosen should reflect and take advantage of this connection.

For /·ournalistic reasons the name shou d be short. If the issue has not already been settled, the names "Stars", "Comets", " Meteors" or "Mountaineers" are suggested by the writer of this column.

Either of these would be a suitable designation.

SPELLBINDERS HEAR SWAIN, IVERSON Speeches by Bill Swain and Laurel Iverson and motion pictures of scenes in Mexico, taken by Mr. Harold Sobel, were the highlight's of the first meeting of the Palomar Spellbinders, Dec. 8.

In his talk· on etiquette, Bill quoted some very amusing excerpts from a 1900 book on the subiect. Laurel, in a philosophical speech, explored the theme +hot as a man thinketh so is he and attributed many of today ' s problems to a general lack of right thinking.

Mr. Sobel, a. charter member of the Spellbinders, who organized last year in Mr. Julian's speech class, accompanied . his highly interesting color pictures of Mexico with penetrating comments on Mexican life, stressing the fact that Mexico is a country of contrasts, of great wealth and abiect poverty, of daring modern architecture and sordid slums, of modern motor cars and the patient burro.

Honorary and able chairman wa·s Ray Gootgeld, last year's president, who called upon a number of members for impromptu one minute speeches on a variety of topics such as "If I were a cloud, how I would feel about artificial rain making" and "What I think Truman's chances for re-election are.''

Guests of the Spellbinders at this lively meeting were the st4dents of Mr. Twisselmann's speech class.

Ta Iking Pictures One sentence may sum up my reaction t-o the recent and memorable motion picture, Great Expectations.

I considered it one of the most expertly and convincingly done portrayals of one of Dickens' great- . est c lassics ever to come out of Er:~gland or Hollywood.

The scenes and settings were absorbing and realistic, and the whole atmosphere of the production was authentic. There was, however, one discrepancy in character portrayal. Miss Havisham's attitude toward Pip was not entirely believable because of her too strongly accentuated warm and benevolent ex,terior. Her surroundings evidenced a personality that had become warped and a mind that had become even demented; and this sweet sup,e rficiality did not conform (even in deception) with a person so bitter and vindic- 1., t ive. She plotted the complete ruin of a boy's happiness, then and in years to come.

John Mills' acting was excellent, and especially moving during those moments when he became fully aware of his snobbishness and experienced a feeling of guilt and shame about having to accept his brother-in-law's kindness and help.

Two minor roles which were very convincingly done and which contributed to the over all excellence of the film w,e re those of Pip's sister and his close friend with whom he roomed in London. -J. S.

The United Nations can not work by itself. It can on.fy do what the people want it or permit it to do; it must have the good will of the people of the world.

The United Nations Charter was written with peace as its aim. Its basic principle is that of cooperation for desired ends. The machinery is not, and never can be perfect; but as time passes and need arises, it can be brought nearer and nearer to perfection. If the aim is considered by all nations too important to be cast aside for any reason whatsoever; if the ends are desired strongly enough, the United Nations will succeed .'

The lesson of the past is clear, and this time the nations took the problem of peace to· heart. They saw that, in the long run, it is more difficult to make and keep peace than it is to win battles. In times of danger and stress reop le can rise to great heights o effort and self-sacrifice; but in the ordinary routine of life it is not easy to keep to these heights. The nations realized also that peace must be universal if it is to exist at all in this modern world.

I~ the course of twenty-seven years, one war had b~en won through cooperation; a peace had been lost because self-interest overcame the commo'n interest; and a second, more difficult victory had been won through united action. The failure of the United Nations may mean the doom of civilization. The success may mean the growth of a better world.

McGAW MOTORPARTS and MODEL SUPPLIES MOTOR PARTS AND ACCESSORIES MODEL KITS - MOTORS AND ACCESSORIES

LET'S GET ACTION! Our campus seems to have become a happy hunting ground for: car, auto accessory and tool thieves. In less than two weeks one car, three sets of fender skirts and two tool boxes have been stolen from cars parked on our poorly lighted grounds.

Ray Kerby's car was taken from the drive back of the school Dec. 3 and ' was not recovered until Dec. 8, minus a spare tire and wheel, two cameras and a tool box. On Dec. 4 -Bill Myer lost a set of fender skirts, Jack Cooper lost a tool box and Bill Carroll's tool box was broken into. On Dec. 12 Jearl Jesson lost a set of skirts from his car, · which was parked under the lights at the front steps. Chuck Rodgers lost one fender skirt, pnd the other ~as badly damaged when the thief tried to remove it. Chuck:s car was parked under the light, near the back door.

We suggest that drastic action be taken immediately to stop these plunders. The Sheriff's office should be asked to ·patrol the school grounds intensively while the cars are here, especially during basketball games and other activities, when many non-students are drawn to the school. Also we suggest that floodlights be installed in the parking areas.

•If these measures fail to stop the thefts, we ·further suggest that a volunteer student patrol be organized to police the grounds at . night. · Let's get action.

SURFACE SCRATCH How do you like this Petrillo guy -no records? Oh, well, maybe he'll drop dead. All us kids like "Golden Earrings" by Dinah Shore -these gypsy tunes go over good -huh? Andy Rus.sell sings a fine tune he brought back from Mexico-it's called "Muchachita"has a bolero type beat. Just for kicks, all us kids laugh to the tune of "Too Fat Polka" by the Andrews Sisters. And the tune for the ~ea­ son is the King Cole Trio 'and their rendition of the "Christmas Song."

KREUGER LEADS CHESS CLUB

Vogel Heads Club; Shaw Vice Prexy

Max J. Kreuger was elected acting chairman of the Palomar chess club, which met · Dec. 9 in Mr. Smith 's room.

Plans were made for obtaining chess sets, and Mr. Smith, club sponsor, revealed that the monthly magazine, "Chess Review", and the book, "Invitati o n to Chess", are now available in the library.

Chief diversion of the meeting was the playing of chess, some members learning the art of say. ing "checkmate " with finesse, others learning how to lose with a smile.

All students who ore chess players or who are interested in learning the game are invited to ioin the club. Meetings are held each Tuesday from 8-10 p.m.

Officers elected at the last meeting of the Palomar Faculty Club were William Vogel, President; Frank Shaw, Vice President; and Phyllis Barrett, Treasurer.

Members of the club voted to establish here a chapter of the California S'cholarship Federation.

Mr. Vogel appointed Mr. Shaw, Mr. Coutts and Mr. Heyne to make preliminary arrangements.

When the chapter is formally organized, students will be nominated by the faculty for membership on the basis of their having maintained a "B" average and having evidenceq qood citizenship.

Installation of bulletin boards in the student lounge and in the li-· brary was also voted.

The complete faculty, 1t was decided, will ioin the California and Sa n Diego County teachers assoc iations and will contribute to the state teacher's welfare fund and the faculty welfare fund. Membership in the National Education Association was encouFaged.

Chief item scheduled for discussion ot the January meeting will be the setting up of new regulations regarding unexcused absences.

Business Classes Tour Vista Post Office Mr. Ho·w;·a rd Skinner, Postmaster, of the Vista Post Office, acted as host to a group of Business English and Stenography students December 3. Accompanied by Miss Barrett and Mr. Toil, the g,roup visited the local post office, and through the courtesy of Mr. Skinner many of the workings of the post office were explained.

The different types of mails were described, the mail distribution system, postal savings and saving bond systems, and various other operations that were of grear interest to the students. Through. such courtesies as this, the students may better afpreciate the services of the posta system.
