ANNUAL HONOR DAY I’ve Been Thinking
by Kaaren Halvorson
If you can’t laugh at life, it isn’t
worth living.
The best antidote for the poison
of prejudice is a liberal dose of
education.
A seemingly dark future fades
quickly in the light of a living
faith.

Yes, it’s been demonstrated time and time
again, that for real refreshment it’s Coke
every time! Add up that cold crisp taste,
that lively lift and you really have a drink
worth going after. So whenever the crowd
has a multiple thirst, make the high sign
of good taste . . . pass around the
Coca-Cola! Quod Erat Demonstrandum!

European Trip
Summer plans for Miss Helen
Osborne, physical education pro-
fessor, include a trip to Europe.
Miss Osborne will sail June 5
from New York to Helinski, Fin-
land, to visit Majatka Simila, her
former roommate at Indiana Uni-
versity graduate school.
With members and friends of
the Simila family, Miss Osborne
will tour northern Europe. Miss
Osborne will fly back to the Uni-
ted States August 26.
In talking to Miss Slyvia Jas-
kari of the business department,
the two instructors discovered a
remarkable coincidence. Miss Jas-
kari’s cousin, whom she visited
last summer, lives in the same
apartment house in Helinski as
Miss Osborne’s former roommate.
Miss Jaskari and her mother
took a freighter to Europe last
summer to visit relatives in Fin-
land.
With a group of Finnish people,
the Jaskaris toured northern
Europe, spending four days i n
Paris and one day at the Brussels
World Fair.
Miss Jaskari’s travels also in-
clude a trip to Hawaii. Finding
that she liked it there, she re-
mained to teach elementary school
for two years in 1952 and 1953.
This summer Miss Jaskari hopes
to tour Alaska.

PRAYER CELL
STORY TOLD
by Karen McCann
The Lutheran Student Associa-
tion holds a prayer cell every
Tuesday morning at 7:30 in the
chapel. It was first begun in 1955
when the Lutheran Student Asso-
ciation of America asked LSA’s
on all college campuses to join ir
a project to oorganize scheduler
prayer meetings.
The purpose of the prayer cell is
the regular prayerful concern by
those attending for students, facul-
ty, and administration.
Bernard Baumbach first spon-
sored the group in organizing the
prayer cell. He conducted a series
of brief study courses on the
phases of prayer. Later students
alternated in the presentation of
the mediation.
Any student or faculty member
may attend the prayer cells, which,
according to the LSA, are founded
on the basis of Christ’s words,
“Where two or three are gathered
in My name, there am I in the
midst of them.”
Borrower’s Barrel
Donna's Diggings
The end of the year is coming
in on us fast and with all the
papers and exams breathing down
our necks, let us just relax this
issue.
Schreiner Institute’s Mountain-
eer tells us this:
College boy’s toast:
Here’s to the pictures on my
desk. May they never meet.
Central State College, Edmond,
Okla., passed around these defini-
tions :
Anger: Used to keep a ship from
floating away.
Frenzies: A person’s pals.
A lady was entertaining the
small son of a friend. “Are you
sure you can cut your own meat,
Tommy?” she inquired.
“Oh, yes, thanks,” answered the
child politely. “I’ve often had it as
tough as this at home.”
—Readers Review
Anonymous once said, “There’s
only a slight difference between
keeping your chin up and sticking
your neck out, but it’s worth
knowing.”
That’s all for this year, study
hard now and have a fun—fun—
fun summer and we’ll see you all
next fall.

TRADITION AND LOYALTY
Many students and professors dislike the word tradition and
smile at the word loyalty when it is used in reference to a college
or university. The reasons given for this dislike or amusement vary
with the individual but can all be traced to one possible source
which is the meaning of the word tradition in the minds of the people
concerned.
Tradition in its original meaning indicated a surrender or be-
trayal; therefore, many people, when they consider tradition on the
TLC campus or on any campus, think that it means a surrender of
personality, a betrayal of one’s own creative ability, and hence even-
tual conformity for all. However, tradition is not a loss of one’s
own thoughts and ideas, but merely an appreciation of the thoughts
and customs of past generations who have attended the same institu-
tion.
A second meaning of tradition also frightens many because it
reads—a long-established custom or practice that has the effect of an
unwritten law. The word law immediately disturbs them, and they
never consider the adjective, unwritten, which comes before it. Tra-
ditions, however, often take the place of written laws which the
students have obeyed for years anyway. How much better it would
be if many rules on the TLC campus could become traditions in
this sense of the word.
A third meaning of tradition—the handing down of customs
orally from one generation to the next—is the definition of tradi-
tion that brings us to the idea of loyalty. All too often a college or
university becomes a co-operative business arrangement among stu-
dents, faculty, and administration, from which everyone takes what
is rightfully his, and each owes loyalty to himself alone.
When this situation occurs, it is usually in the absence of
tradition. Where there are honored traditions, the business of edu-
cation takes on another dimension which shifts the loyalty to more
than strictly selfish concern.
Tradition and loyalty can grow together on the TLC campus,
but they must be encouraged and honored by students and faculty
if this growth is to take place and continue.

Herd In The Hall
by Bev Meyers
HELLO SUNSHINE! These Tex-
as skies are enough to make sum-
mer worthwhile. Less than two
weeks and vacation fun will begin.
Meanwhile we have five glorious
days before finals . . . help!
Congratulations to the new
cheerleaders! George should enjoy
those football games next fall with
five such lovely companions
(Claudia will be there of course).
Just a suggestion that an alert
head cheerleader might look into
the possibility of hiring the little
black dog who howls at the chapel
bell, not to hurt Lucky’s pride, but
a thorough-bred couldn’t be ex-
pected to behave in such an unin-
hibited manner.
Nancy Creswell made a pretty
picture in the red gown she
wore during the party scene in
"Sabrina". The play was an excell-
ent example of TLC theater; it’s
unfortunate so many of the stu-
dents missed the performance.
Now that meal cards are a curse
of the past we can enjoy this wit-
tism: Lab analysis report of Lou
Ann Birdwell’s meal ticket: finger-
nail polish, glue, prune juice,
maple syrup . . . This report went
on for three pages and the ticket
had only been used two and a half
days before it was lost to the
cause of science.
Boogie Giesber: (giving direc-
tions to his room at the Mansion)
“You come in the back door and
fight your way through the junk
pile, that’s Weiser's room, to the
stairs ...”
Congratulations to the junior
class Prom Committee! The eve-
ning was a lovely ending to a
wonderful school year and, for the
seniors, a beautiful grand finale.
The freshmen are definitely in
the spring party swing with special
surprise celebrations. The Clifton
Hall fish residents gave a party
for the Emma Frey women and the
following week the two groups
combine to treat the men students
of their class.
This last party was a return
compliment for the men’s party
given earlier this term. From the
rumors we’ve heard, the entertain-
ment was fabulous; with Linda
Bradley as mistress of ceremonies
what else?
Kengo Yasumatsu helped several
members of the junior class pre-
pare a Sunday evening Japanese
dinner in the playroom. Kengo did
most of the cooking and gave a
short demonstration on the art of
eating with chopsticks, which
everyone used during the meal.
TLC has a hawk ring . . . Harlen
Aschen has admitted to being an
assistant in the recent hanging.
Garland Kneten is the 20th Cen-
tury counter-part to the ancient
Miss Muffet nursery rhyme char-
acter only he was the victim of a
toy whistle, not a tuffet.
Juggie Gum and company cele-
brated his acceptance into med
school with a party at Schwam-
krug’s May 8. West Hall was there
in full dress. Following the party
the crew serenaded the women
students, Juggie accompanying on
guitar. The thought was apprecia-
ted.
If you can patiently tolerate it
here is an anonymous poem about
TLC spring:
Ah feel lahk writin’ portry,
‘N’ that’s a fenny thang,
’Cuz us’ally ah cain’t stand it.
Ah guiss it muss’ be sprang!
Ah think th’ folks at TLC
Er lokin’ fer a treasure.
They talk about an island where
+o go is jist pure pleasure!
*N’ thin they talk about a dam.
Ah guiss they lahk to fish.
Least ah know, to go out ther’s
Whut all th’ fellows wish.
‘N’ some o’ the gals play golf with
guys.
Ah guiss that’s whut it be . . .
They go out to th’ park at night—
Ah wonder how they see? . . .
A happy summer to y’all, and
keep those socks up, fellas!
BE REALLY REFRESHED ... HAVE A COKE!
