Mr. Rud man's intentions were, no doubt, of the highest sort when the Student Skating Pond was gleefully planned and cheerfully constructed.

The last regularly scheduled class of the 1948 Fall Semester will come to a close at 12:20 p.m. on Saturday, January 28. Final examinations will commence shortly; in the afternoon, to be exact. Last lectures are being delivered, term papers and notebooks are being whipped into shape, and much midnight oil has been ordered. All these are true portents that it will be no great length of time until the work, sweat, tears, yes, and even laughs of "one-half year of college will be memories.

This is just a suggestion offered in the interest of better grades for all— a truly noble motivation, no? A few details follow; and that's all the details there are, a few. Get to gether a group of four to six people who are fellow-sufferers in some course (making sure at least one of the group is.pulling a three), find an empty classroom, library. table, aban doned yacht, or living room (eve nings only), fill your pen and start to talk—the rest should come naturally. THE GERMAN CLUB held a so cial gathering here at Highacres on Wednesday evening. There was danc in the dining room, and light re freshments were served.
