Like the senior division parties II
is an annual event. Music for the
party was furnished by Howard
Seitz's orchestra composed OF seven
pieces.
As Yuletide Is the time for mer-
riment the seniors carried out the
idea by giving a dance. 1t was held
December 20 in the gymnasium
with large candles and fir trees to
carry out the effect. The hours for
the dance were nine to midnight
and the music Of Tom Snyder and
his band made the evening even
more enjoyable.
A cabaret party was given for
the senior division IN the gymnasi-
UNI January "a with green palms
as background for the orches-
ira. The gym was gaily decorated
to produce a French Cafe effect.
Earl Stevens and his band furnished
the music.
Classified as one OF "the" par
ties Of the year is the semi-formal
J-Hop held in the main ballroom
at Charles McKenny Hall. Students
in the upper three grades look for
ward to this as a main event In
their school year. AS it happened
this year, Valentines Day was the
same date as the J-Hop and clever
decorations carried out the theme
Of Cupid's Day. Clark Mcclellan
and his Rhythm Club Band, COM
posed of ten pieces and a vocalist,
rendered the music for the gala oc-
casion. Some OF the chaperons for
the party were Mr.. and Mrs. Dean
A. Briggs. and Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam Mitchell as we'll as members
OF the faculty.
The last junior division party OF
the year was held a week earliei
than years before, because they
wanted Easter as their theme. The
party was held in the gymnasium
with steamers decorating the walls
and balloons In spring colors at
different corners OF the room car
ried out the idea OF Easter egg
nests. Otto Seitz and his orchestra
OF local boys furnished music. The
party was from D. m. TO IL p. m.
The girls, wishing to show the
boys how to conduct themselves
on q date. held a Sponge dance.
This Is the one party during the
year where the girls take the boys
out and pay for the dance, food,
and gas. The sophomores decorated
the gymnasium. The false ceiling
was decorated with pieces OF blue
cheese cloth with silver stars; the
orchestra was in the background
OF ships and seagulls. There were
tables around the floor and a soft
drink and cookies was served.
Dick Reed and his orchestra played.
The most important party to the
seniors Is the final party OF the
year which Is the Senior Farewell.
This party is given by the Juniors
and sophomores In honor OF the
seniors and Is held at Charles Nc
Kenny Hall in the main ballroom.
The party is semi-formal and this
year will be held from . to IL.

Many other organizations and
classes have given parties through
out the year. Some OF them are the
GAG, the Drum and Bugle Corps
and Band, the junior and senior
classes, the chorus and many
others.

technical equipment used to keep the
giant steel plant in full blast night
and day. Within eighteen months
they built 14O travelling cranes rang
ing in span from 20 to 10 feet, and
costing up to $4,000.
It was soon evident, however, that
the interests of the great plant had
been fatally undermined by over-ex-
,pansion and the end of hostilities en-
visioned the sealing of locks at it's
doors.
Seeing this, Miss Dryden decided
to set up her own brokerage office,
supplying firms with which she had
been dealing as purchasing agent,
and which she realized would soon
need a new source of service. She
made arrangements, with her usual
foresight, to obtain patents for all
parts of the cranes, which would no
longer be manufactured, that she
might continue to supply them for
repairs.
Soon she established the office
where for twelve years she has been
contracting for iron and steel from
mills in the East and Middlewest,
converting it according to blueprints
for which it was ordered, and deliver
ing it to builders of railroads,
bridges, building and industrial
plants.
Twenty years after her first sue
cess in this field finds her again deal
ing with war contracts. AS she sat
behind her desk recently telling of
her business experiences, it was COW
cred with extracts relating to the de-
tense program. Orders called fol-
carloads of bar iron, spikes, rivets,
bolts, nuts, chain and other build
ing materials. Many of these are
priority orders for the Navy which
are being handled according to blue
prints drafted during the World War
and now receive preference in produc-
ton plants.
One is a Every small order" for
10000 hot galvanized hexagon-head
machine bolts, which, she suggested,
might be going into the construction
of a submarine.

dependable knowledge of construc-
ton and plant capacities, is the re-
sponsibility which she meets capably.
Miss Dryden repeatedly expresses
her contention that career should
be secondary consideration for wo-
men, but, she continues, eff necessity
demands and your proclivities lean to-
ward a career in business, then deter

and be best in your field"
In accordance with her own the
DRY, Miss Dryden, directed into bust
ness by the early death of both her
parents, determined her goal on OBJ
tanning position as stenographer in
the offices of the Chesapeake Iron
Works. This, she decided, was a
good place as any to succeed.

Assigned to work under the gen.
eral manager of the engineering and
drafting department, Miss Dryden
busted herself with extension courses
from the University of Wisconsin
Through these she studied engineer
ing, tariff and traffic. Tariff and
traffic were topics taken up with a
far-sighted and ambitious vision. To
handle the post on which she had
focused her aims, that of buying sup
plies for the entire plant, she reason
ed it would be wise to have knowl-
edge of the laws governing transpor.
tation.
This understanding later enabled
her to save $1,000 on a large contract
by stop-over provision in laws reg.
ulating railroad rates. By knowing
this clause, Miss Dryden was able tt
realize this econmy by converting the
steel to blueprint specifications er

THE APPRAISER SPEAKS


at matters not one whit to me
Who wins the present war.
Nations are both good and bad
And equally good and bad.
This war was bound to come
Twas in the cards,
For England had too much
And Germany had too little.
It's not just or right
That one nation should have more
than it's share
Of lands and wealth
While others are cramped for space
And have not room to breathe and
grow.
A big and mighty nation
That has armed itself to the teeth
Hasn't time to argue or to arbitrate.
The enemy might find time to arm
To protect and defend itself.
And so l find no word Of condemna-
ton
For ruthless invasion, pillage,
Destruction, rape and murder.
My country is supposed to stand
For international law and decency,-
For the rights of small countries,
For order and liberty and justice.
But it does wrong
To extend it's aid to those attacked
Without warning or provocation.
They likewise err
Who wax indignant over acts that
might
In an outworn and antiquated moral
scheme
Make a real mans blood boil
And alternately run cold.
My fellow-countrymen just don't
comprehend
The immutable laws Of evolution.
Like old Canute they try
To push back the futures WAVE.
They make me sick and sadl
They should view the current Of
world events
Dispassionately, realistically,
Cold-bloodedly.
Lets let the war be donel
Let England fall!
Let Germany and Hitler winl
Let's have, with England crushed
And her fleet destroyed or captured,
A negotiated peace,
A peace with Hitler holding all the
cards.
"Some say that Hitler's word can't
be trusted;
Some say his record smells to high
heaven
For breaking pacts and treaties
And solemn promises
When it suits his purpose so to do.
What matters that?
The Nazis stand for change,
And resistance to change
Is the worst Of all SINS
Worse than aggression, rape, and
war,
Worse than persecution, slavery and
death.
So let's abandon aid to those
Who fight for so--called freedom
And for life itself.
We're only prolonging war
And fighting Fate itself
america can't be harmed
No matter what betides!
The ocean still is wide
And the WAVE till rolls along!
Let's ride the CREST
Force Britain to negotiate
Let Churchill's government fall!
Let's play the Pontius PLATE act
And wash our hands of all this NESS
Forget the so called fell designs
Of ruthless tyrants"
And their so-called hellish acts.
It's in the Book of Fate
That change must come.
! Why kicks against the pricks?
eff America rides the WAVE
There's nought to fear.
Well find it's not so bad
To be bitten by the Nazi bug.
I speak from rich experience
Take my advice!
Forget time-worn ideals
