make to remain true to their faith.
He continues to stand by the truth
through God although he receives
opposition from his family and
congregation.
With opposition from the whole
building committee he stilt moves
forward to build a new church and
a home for his family. He at last
achieves the lovely building of his
dreams only to feel that he is
called to start a new pilgrimage
In a small needy settlement.

beauty and understanding rare to

Frosh Foil Reporters;
Hold Picnic Fly Their Flag
by Byrdte West
It was a game of "hide and seek"
for the Journalism 220 class when
the false alarm was given that
the freshman class was having
their picnic on a Friday several
weeks ago.
This group of first rate report-
ers as they call themselves sought
all the Information of the fresh-
man plans and opinions from the
class president David Stephens
while keeping him from the
"slimes."
This was a joke but not on the
Slimes as they were not having
their picnic. A few were meeting
at the apartment of their vice-
president Bill Atkins to make the
"fish flag" which was successfully
flown last Thursday Oct. 18. The
picnic was just "one of those
things" a rumor.
While monopolizing Stephens'
time the class found that the
most freshmen enjoy the penalty
of being thrown in the fish pond
as it creates interest on their part.
Interesting isn't it upper class-
men? Stephens agreed that it was the
upperclassman's duty to enforce
the college traditions regarding
the freshmen and it was the

Slime's duty to wear his cap. Ste-
phens said he found the freshmen
cooperative as a whole.
While spending as much time
as possible seeking information on
the "flsh" class the eager-beaver
reporters found Stephens himself
quite Interesting. This 17-year-old
brown-eyed brunette is a native
of Patricia Lubbock Rope White-
face Cooper towns In Texas and
Texoma Oklahoma. He claims
Morton Texas as his home town.
The reason: Stephens is a P.K.
(preacher's kid).
In high school Stephens was a
member of the national honor so-
ciety band and a representative
to the student council his senior
year. He played football and bas-
ketball. With only three years experi-
ence Stephens is quite a talented
musician. He performs mostly for
fun but has performed twice com-
mercially. His Interest in this field
began when he once worked with
a professional magician.
Information was about all Miss
Frances Hynds' proteges received.
They didn't get to attend the
picnic after all. The Slimes had it
the following Sunday at four in
the morning. Still sleepy Slimes?
