High Point Lead Overcome by Quakers for 19-19 Tie
Quaker Staff in Actions-
Return to Conventional
The "Quaker" staff, of which
Marianne Vietorius is editor, got
an early mart on the 1950 yearbook
tliis year; with individual portraits,
planning, and layout already on the
list of jobs accomplished-
Although the editors were not
too generous in handing out staff
secrets, t.hey did give a hint tha'l
there would he a return in the more
conventional yearbook organization
of sectioning, and that an elabora
tion of the campus and sports sec
tion was part of their plan. In
1 his connection, the staff revealed
that the 1950 "Quaker" would con
tain more pages than the books of
previous years, but would not be
quite the size of the '47, '4B, and
'49 "Quakers." Since these staffs
had never been able to balance
their budgets with the use of the
large page, this year's editor felt
that it would be wiser to put out a
smaller size book containing more
pages, than to try to keep the size
and cut down on the number of
pages. According to the staff, the
main emphasis this year will be

camp project to Olbara, Orlente,
Cuba.
The specific building project of
the camp was to build a dining
room for the Eriend's Convention

year in Glhara; but in the estima

enough to go, much more was ac

in Mary Hohhs Hall, with .lean
Walton and Hetty Koherson as co

No special date has been set for

huge success with all types of gob

The Talent Show will be in No

il is not known what musical show

plete coverage of the events of the
year as far as this is possible with
in the limits of the deadlines, and
on obtaining a high quality of
photography.
The staff would like to remind
all students and interested faculty
members that the "Quaker's" an
nual photo contest is now under
way, and will run until November
10. Four $5 dollar prizes will be
given for the best picture in four
different categories: (1) Informal

member of the staff. Only glossy
prints are acceptable; no picture

The staff hopes to turn out one
of the liveliest and best books in
yearbook history, and hopes that
students will contribute by sub

in Culm. The people, therefore,
hold strictly to the old Spanish
eirttnins 11s much as any In the
Western Hemisphere.
There is in every Cuban village
one iNirk or maybe more according
to the size of the town. Every eve
ning the entire populace will meet
there. The girls will walk around
the square of the park while the
boys sit by .and watch for a girl
with whom they would like to walk.
There also occurs the serenading of
senoritas which takes place in the
middle of the night.
The parks 011 some week-ends are
turned into gay places of fiestas.
Everybody goes and has a good
time. There are booths with games
of chance, stands which sell food,
and always a band playing the en
chanting Cuban-Africa music. With
the fiestas there is always street
dancing. The people enjoy and do
a great (leal of dancing, but not
the rlmniba, which Is commonly be
lieved to be the popular dance of
Cuba.
The tiling which thrilled me the
most about Cuba was the people
themselves. Everybody was ex
tremely friendly, helpful, polite, and
always at our service. The people
with whom we lived could not have
treated us better had we been
kings. The bus conductors, the
grocerymnn, the huicher, the postal
employees, clerks, and street ped
dlers were always patient with us
when we were using our limited
amount of Spanish.
We did many unorthodox things
which Cuban women would never
dream of such as wearing jeans,
carrying stalks of bananas up the
street, anil sunbathing while iu
swimming. The people only shrug
ged and said "Americanos locos"
and forgave 11s anything for that
reason.
The homes was the thing which
I noted the greatest change in com
pared to the T'liited States. There
is the native bohio type of house
which is found in rural Cuba. It
is made from the bark of the royal
palm tree and the roof is thacthed
made from the branches of the
Maine tree. It has a hard ground
floor with only I lie bare necessities
of furnishings. The homes of the
very few middle class people are
also very scarcely furnished. There
are 110 rugs on the floor, no over
stuffed furniture, and few decora
live pieces. The homes of the rich
are elaborately furnished but al
