folks would keep off the arms of chairs and divans, possibly the wear
and tear would not be so great, and we’d still have some good-looking
furniture by the time the year’s over.
WHERE IS THE BAND
OF YESTERDAYS?
Where’s all that band spirit that was so prominent at the be
ginning of the year? Has it all gone because football season is fever?
It seems to me if that is the case it’s a pretty poor way of showing
appreciation for all the swell trips the band was sent on. A^Ww of
the members are still attending rehearsals, showing that they are
made of the real stuff and not possessing the quitting attitude that
so many of our students have. But what kind of a band can Charlie
and Howard build up, if only eight or ten people attend rehearsals?
To have a really fine band, every member in the band should attend
every rehearsal, and be on time. After all there are basketball gamPs
to play for, concerts to give and numerous other activities to engage
in. Evelyn is now working on an idea by which there will be march
ing done at basketball games. But how can you learn all these steps
if you decide to sleep instead of going to band practice? Get your
sleep the night before; it won’t kill you to go to bed at a decent hour,
and it will help the band. Think it over, boys!

The Explorers of North Ameri
ca 1492-1806 .John Bartlet Breb-
ner ‘tNorth America after the voy
ages of Columbus was a vast
tempting of unknown riches
and opportunities. For three hun
dred years sailors, soldiers, ex
plorers, missionaries and fur trad
ers filled in the map here and
there until the entire continent
was known. Who these men were,
where, when and why they went,
and by whom they were financed
is the subject of this book. Much
of the story is told by the men
themselves. By a comparative
study of Spanish, French, Dutch,
English, American and Canadian
explorations the significance of
each phase is the more sharply de
fined.
As the narrative moves from the
Spanish efforts to find mines and
populous cities in the South to the
equally heroic enterprises of the
French missionaries and fur trad
ers about the Great Lakes, Hudson
Bay, and the Mississippi, and the
penetration of the Appalachians
from the Eastern Seaboard, the
reader sees a vast continent grad
ually revealed by bold men who
were the advance guard of one of
the most dramatic movements in
history.

Helen Dailey a Day Student or a

June, you didn’t get to go to An
napolis after all. Better luck next
time! . . . Fred Gilliam really
knows his French and Dr. Clarke
knows he knows it, too! . . . Do

vorable this column will continue.
So it’s up to you!
