Talk to Flag Pole Painter
To the graduating seniors who are looking for a job that takes
them up in the world, Grounds and Buildings employee, Don Coble,
has a solution even though it’s a little temporary.
Coble is the man who paints the two flag poles in front of Old •
Main. Yesterday afternoon he completed the first painting of the
.lag poles since the outbreak of the war.
Quoting a few statistics, the painter said that it took him an hour
and a quarter and -two quarts of
aluminum paint to cover each of'
the two IiOO foot poles.
All 1., not routine in the life of.
a flag pole painter, Coble empha
sised. His most thrilling exper
ience was back in I®&7 when stu
dent pranksters lifted a Nazi flag
to the top of one of the poles on
the eve of Alumni Weekend.-
It was a very, windy day wheii
excited College officials issued a
call for Coble to release the flag,
which was caught at .the top.
With the pole weaving back and
forth, Coble climbed up, untan- •
gled the flag and saved the Col
lege’s face before the Alumni ar
rived.
