Dean Griffith to Begin Speaking Tours of Schools On April 24 Dean Maurice F. Griffith will begin a series of trips to high schools in Wyoming. He will speak to high school seniors and inform them of the program which the junior college offers. On April 24 Dean Griffith plans to visit Shoshoni, Riverton, and Lander. By the middle of May, he will have visited all high schooLs in the Basin, and Midwest, Buf­ falo, Sheridan, Gillette, Glenrock, Douglas, Lusk, and Wheatland. New Catalog Will Be Distributed Soon Casper junior college’s new catalog will be ready on April 23. The booklet will contain all infor­ mation regarding the college. There will be some new pictures, but the number has been limited because of the scarcity of film and flash bulbs. The circular will be sent to high school seniors and anyone who in­ quires about the school. The ca­ talog will be ready for Dean Griffith to take on his tour of high schools. Summer Classes Will Be Offered Some summer clases will be of­ fered to those who are interested. Any student who wishes to take one or more courses should notify the faculty instructors. Further in­ formation on summer classes will be available at a later date. 4otor Vehicle Fleet nstruction Program to 5e Established Here rhe Motor Vehicle Fleet Supisor’s training program which t heen announced for the CasJunior College, June 1 to 21 further evidence of the manner which Casper’s new educational titution fits into the economic 1 industrial picture of the coniinity and state. The Wyoming licking asociation is to be conitUlated on securing this im■tant course which exemplifies progressive attitude of the lerican trucking industry. program is designed for Bl'supervisors, and safety perftiel or training directors. The jtitse is for a practical method ..Mccident prevention, conservof manpower and equipment r:for efficient and economical Vation. The program was launched eight years ago at Pennsylvania State college, where it has been conducted successfully since that time. It has been expanded on a national scale and has been de­ veloped under the sponsorship of a group of national organizations, with well-known instructors as­ signed to teach the courses. Wyoming has a stake in the trucking industry, and Casper, as the center of many extensive op­ erations, is particularly interested. Supplementing the specific im­ portance of the scheduled course, is the added significance of the junior college and its facilities in keeping pace with the needs of practical education. More and more, the college plays a vital role in the life of the community. Song of the Thunderbirds fTuiie of the “Riff Song") Go—Junior College Thunderbirds, let’s go! Onward, ever on to meet the foe. Don’t let them push us around. Don’t give them an inch of the ground. For—Alma Mater always win the goal. Always show them that we’re brave and bold We’ll always fight fair to win. And we will never give in Till Victory!!! A Credo of Calm “Somewhere in the South Pacific—-it is a lonely destination —a terrifying one—and has come to mean a sort of pit of hell, 80 isolated, so unreachable; and yet, our bosrs are there, and they do their “hitch in hell”—but out of it has come something of truth and beauty, profound and eternal. It is a credo which a soldier, far from home, found upon his bed.—It was a rough draft, and the writer was not named. So, wherever and who­ ever he might be, we feel it a privilege and an honor to reprint this stirring “Credo of Calm.” As Easter nears it seems fitting and proper that we should rededicate ourselves and live up to this simple, but eloquent credo. “Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there is in silence. As far as possible, without sur­ render, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignor­ ant, for they too, have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare your­ self with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. “Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep in­ terested in your own career, however humble; it is a real posses­ sion in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery; but let this not blind you to what virtue there is. Many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is.full of heroism. Be yourself; especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for, in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is a peren­ nial as the grass. “Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrender­ ing the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings; many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Be­ yond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself: You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and stars: You have a right to be here. “And, whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the uni­ verse is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. Whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all it sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is stlil a beautiful world: Be cheerful and strive to be happy. Group Attends Forum at Scottsbluff for Jr* College Upon an invitation from Scotts­ bluff Junior College, ten students and two faculty members attended the junior college forum held there April 12 and 13. Four junior col­ leges, Casper, Scottsbluff, Mc­ Cook, and Sterling, were repre­ sented. Common problems of jun­ ior colleges were discussed. The forum opened with regis­ tration on Friday, April 12 at 3:00. On Friday night there was a ban­ quet, speaker and dance in honor of all students attending. Satur­ day morning was spent in discus­ sions followed by a trip to the Bluff and a luncheon. Discussion groups were divided into such groups as. women’s clubs, men’s clubs, student councils, athletics. Students attending from Casper found the forum worth while. An assembly is to be given to inform all the students of the information obtained while on the trip. Those attending were Margaret Giinther, Ellen Kruger, Eileen Johnston, Teddy Mae Gaylord, Weaver and Propp Submit Winning Entries in Contest Jack Propp and Warren Weaver were the winners of the two con­ tests sponsored by the student council to secure a school song and emblem. Songs and emblems were select­ ed by a student body, voted in a school asembly. Propp’s song re­ ceived the most votes from five contributions. It is printed else­ where in the paper. The other en­ tries in the song contest are also to be used by the school. Weaver’s emblem consists of the thunderbird standing in an upright position. A streak of lightning is running through its beak and into the background, cross the breast and wings is written “CJC Thun­ derbirds.” The contests were open to all students. The winner of each con­ test received five dollars. Vacation Starts Today School is to be dismissed at noon today for a short spring vacation over the Easter holidays.

College Starts Radio Program Every Tuesday evening at 4:45 a iS-minute radio program is spon­ sored by the Casper junior college over station KDFN. A variety of productions are being provided by the speech class under the direc­ tion of Mr. Kenneth Ury. To date the programs have con­ sisted of a variety of talent, short speeches and a round table discus­ sion. Dean Griffith partook in one program by answering common questions that arises concerning the junior college. School songs and brief outlines of school work were given to ecquaint the people of Casper with CJC accomplish­ ments. Music has been provided by Ruth Oler, who has sung several numbers, and Miss Edna Furness, who has given several piano selec­ tions. The Russian problem was dis­ cussed by a round table composed of Margaret Giinther, Chuck Mc­ Lean, J. D. Myres and Lyle Slaughter. Plans are being made for other programs to be. held in the near future. A careless driver is an accid“nt rushing somewhere to happen. Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medi­ cine, but lost time is gone forever. Council Accomplishments Outlined in Assembly In a recent asembly, Margaret Giinther, student council president, outlined the important activities which the council has completed in the first year of the establish­ ment of the junior college. 1. The council organzied the constitution of the college and held a special assembly at which time the constitution was voted upon and adopted. 2. The council appointed the so­ cial and asembly committees, which arranged parties and assemblie.s. 3. In December the council sug­ gested a formal dinner party at the Country Club and the social committee was advised of the plans. This party was held very successfully and the council voted unanimously that this party be­ come an annual tradition of the school. 4. The council received from the Scotsbluff junior college an invit­ ation for a couple to attend its annual Christmas prom. A repre­ sentative from the council and his date attended the affair. 5. The council arranged for a special night at which time junior college students could attend the Campus Canteen. We were given the privilege of using the canteen every Wednesday night. 6. The council sent letters to various junior colleges in this area to find out the nicknames and color combinations of their schools. 7. The council held a pep as­ sembly before the Scottsbluff game at which tirn'e cheer leaders, school colors of red and white and the nickname of Thunderbirds 8. The council received a letter from the local Red Cross request­ ing that a representative from the Junior College attend its annual meeting which was held February 27. A council member was repre­ sented at this meeing. 9. The council sent into Nation­ al Headquarters, a petition for a Phi Theta Kappa charter which is a national honorary society for students of junior colleges. The petition is voted upon by all chap­ ters in the United States. 10. The council will assume re­ sponsibility for the general lounge which is to be in Room 359. The furniture for this lounge has been shipped from California and is ex­ pected soon. The council also made the request for the piano which is being used now. 11. The council made arrange­ ments to have a school annual, but the price was found to be too great for what could be obtained. The council is considering having a special edition of the Chinook which will consist of a summary of the school activities and group pictures. 12. The council is attempting to obtain student rates at the theat­ ers. 13. The council sponsored the swimming party held April 10, and they are also planning a barn dance. 14. The council provided a five dollar prize for the winner of the school song contest and a five dollar prize for the winner of the school emblem contest. Any suggestions students may have for the council are welcome �Page Two____________________________ • Chinook Casper Junior College, Casper, Wyoming STAFF Editor-In-Chief................................................................................Ann Holscher Circulation and Business Manager...........................................

At any rate, the com­ mittee is on a transitory recess. If it’s within critical bounds, we should like to enlighten all that the students are pathe­ tically engroused with too many available study hours and are willing to accept a few hours of planned entertainment to offset the monotony and deplete the hours of boredom. Take heed, social committee. Plan a schedule of organ­ ized activity. If enough work and publicity is put in your efforts, they will be well received, I’m sure. Ever Hear of Classroom Courtesy? The other day as I sat in class, I counted the number of times in which the lecture was interrupted because of stu­ dents coming in late. Some even had the discourtesy (or should I call it nerve?) to walk in five minutes before class was to be dismissed. I know Spring is here and every minute spent inside of a classroom seems a little bit longer. (No doubt the teacher is of the same opinion.) The coke dispenser is working and everyone is beginning to gather in the lounge. Ten minutes, no longer, seems long enough between classes. Out of courtesy for the teacher and those students who reach class on time, can’t we learn, to have the courtesy to be there when the last beel rings? We aren’t late for our other appointments and have no excuse to be late for class Mental “Wander-Lust” DON’T—read any further if you’re a sentimentalist— you’ll be crying on my shoulder, too! This is the time when all flunking G.I.’s have a mental inclination to tabulate the contents of their “grey-matter,” mainly in pursuit of a likely excuse for that “F” in trigonom­ etry or “E” in chemistry—the results of final examinations! One of the more serious handicaps a veteran has is the inability to adapt himself to a bookworm’s characteristic of long, tedious concentration on one particular subject. A mind wanders from a hospital in France to a foxhole in Italy and. then rather abruplty, back to a dislocated sentence during an English class; whereas, the poor fellow ruefully answers, “I don’t know,” to a question he hadn’t heard. Ah, but that is just one example! More frequently his thoughts are diverted when an in­ structor, in the process of revealing the nomenclature of a five syllable word, announces that this particular word is of French origin. Her pronunciation throttles the yearning to escape from the catagory of novices, and spurns his good in­ tentions, momentarily, 'of course, to master the dialect. Now there—you see—there goes that wandering mind! In imagination, the fellow is in France again, making earnest and persistent attempts to capitalize on an opportunity to learn French from the French. In a science course, a flustrated ex-G.I. will unduly try to associate a scientific achievement with a likely character in Italy, whose statue he seemingly recalled seeing in Pome. Naples, or Venice. Whether he locates the place again is be­ side the point; because, during his mental absence from an algebra class, the functions of x had been derived and verified. Eventually, he regains partial recollection of his surround­ ings, but with a dumbfounded look on his face, and a depres­ sing feeling of failure. Consequently, G.I. Joe learns nothing and grievously laments over his trouble that constantly grow. Meanwhile, his education privileges and subsistences allowance gradually slip from his grasp.________ _________________________ _ Roughly Speaking NOTE: As you scan this column, scan lightly and please don’t think we’re behind times—after all, it was written way back when: We wonder about “Chuck” Al­ vey. He seems to stick strictly to “out” of college girls and this we don’t like a little. In case you were wondering who that blonde was he was with when Dorothy Camp­ bell was mad at him—it was Lois Stockhouse. What would a column be with­ out the name of “Phil” Turner, but since she is engaged we never have any dirt about her. The Arn­ old she is always and forever men­ tioning is the lucky guy. Wednesday night Margaret Gi­ inther became the president of the “Man-hater’s club.” Since then the club has become so popular that evpn nnp man Viau TllSt honorary member of a girl’s club. Of course we’re unbiased but we think that this club promises to be the up and coming club of school. “Mike” Shoemaker is always making eyes at a “Cowboy” name­ ly Sackett, but we think it only proper to tell her that he is going steady with Jean Brunk, so she’d better stick to Harvey Clark. That cute couple you see going together off and on (mostly on) is J. D. Myres and Maxie Tolman. And if you don’t think they’re cute just ask J. DAnother off and on affair is Ruth Oler and Don Roney. He's a hard person to reform isn’t he, Ruth? But if the job gets too tough there’s always Elvin Booth. The reports are that there are 99 veterans enrolled in the school. Most of the girls can count 98. but can’t find that certain one. Can they, Sarah! Wednesday, April 17, 194 CHINOOK not sure, but if you really want to know, ask Wilma Shafto, she’s well informed as to his technique and she d come back for more. Reports are that Ronnie Mc­ Pherson is a wonderful dancer. We wonder why we never see him on Wednesday night at the can­ teen. What’s this we hear about our King being “King of the Ro­ meos?” All the high school boys have this idea. Couldn’t be be­ cause his car is always full of girls, could it? Do you know what a picnic is? Neither do we but we’re waiting for another of Miss Furness’ weak moments. Who is this Johnnie Johnson? He seems to be THE romeo of Scottsbluff. Anyhow we know that he addresses his school paper. “To my dear friend, Ann.” Oh, lucky girl! (If you only knew the half of it.) One very important word was left out of the English 100.word vocabulary and we would like to add it to this list: Petting is the method of learning anatomy by the Braille system. Say, this party at Weaver’s awhile back was quite a mixed up affair. Donna Stare came with Howard Mathers, danced with Weaver, and went home with Toby Koontz, Chuck Morrison has quite a case On Norma Joy Driscoll of Scotts­ bluff. We don’t know what the outcome it at present but by the time the paper is ready he will have made another trip to Scotts­ bluff. Most of the girls were very dis­ appointed to find that Kenny Col­ trane was engaged, but, hard as it is to believe, he is engaged to June Swan, That buddy of his. Matt Bernardis, has quite the case on Willa Carrier—so it is report­ ed. So far we’ve been unable to get anything on Betty Thompson and Cy Worf. How is it that they al­ ways keep their affairs hidden? Maybe someday we’ll find out their formula. Finally, Dene Davis has found someone who will eat up his line. Hope you’ll be able to digest it all right, Peggy. Miss Gustafson: Why don’t you go to work? Don’t you know that a rolling stone gathers no moss.? Chuck McLean: Not to evade your question at all, but merely to obtain information, may I ask of what practical utility is moss to a man like me? If you want to remember things, tie a string around your finger. If you want to forget things, tie a rope around your neck. Advertising Class Prepares Circular At the suggestion of Dean Grif­ fith the advertising-marketing class is working on a circular to be sent to high school graduates in Casper and surrounding towns. The booklet will state the ad­ vantages of attending the junior college. It will touch such phases as the ideal location of Casper as a college town, recreational and housing facilities available to stu­ dents, and employment opportun­ ities open to those who desire them. Upon the approval of Dean Griffith the circular will go to press. A card will be attached to each folder in order that the stu­ dent may send for a catalog for further information on the Casper Junior College. 28 Enrolled for Flight 'Training Flight training program has proved to be one of the most pop­ ular courses in the junior college To date 28 students are enrolled in the course for flight instruc­ tion. Among these Miss Peggy Corbett is the only non-veteran. Instructions are given by the Casper Flying Service, which is obtaining new aircraft for the stu­ dents. Soon there will be an ade­ quate supply of equipment and in­ structors to take care of the everincreasing group. A real friend is one who loves us just the same after we have V. A.Establishes Program c-r ror Closer supervision r fn O Designed to protect and guide veterans from possible exploitation by what Veterans Administration officials described as “fly-by-night, gyp-^oint” schools and training establishments, a program for clos­ er supervision and tightening of controls over those enrolled in schools and on-the-job training establishments has been set up by VA. Under the new instructions, training establishments are requir­ ed to cooperate by providing VA training officers and trainees with copies of definite programs out­ lining the course of training of­ fered. “This will be a basis for the veteran to know what parts of the occupation or trade he is expect­ ed to learn,” explained O. W. Price, director of vocational rehibilitation and education for the states served by branch 13 of the Veterans Administration at Den­ ver. The new plan authorized VA regional managers to assign quali­ fied training officers to rnake regu­ lar personal check-ups with all vet­ erans enrolled in training. The in­ structions emphasize that VA sup­ ervision will be of the veteran en­ rollee and not of the school or the on-the-job training establishadjustment act, supervision of edu­ cational institutions and job trainment. Under the servicemen’s re­ adjustment act, supervision of edu­ cational institutions and job train­ ing concerns is vested in the state. One training officer will be re- Girls! Advice! Say fellows, have you ever stop­ ped to notice the girls these days and what is the first thing they do when they reach school? First, they take off their coats, hang them in the locker: then they take out a comb, some hairpins, pow­ der, and lipstick: then they are ready to groom themselves up for the long day ahead. You hear the crackling of hair as it is brushed many times, lips being made ready for that smear of lipstick—Kleenex puffs giving out a faint odor of Coty face pow­ der—mascara blackened eyebrows getting a curve on them—rouge being rubbed into dainty checks. By the time the first bell rings for classes. Io and behold, what stands before you, a girl or a painted doll? Sometimes it is not hard to guess the latter. This habit of grooming thernselves after coming to school is becoming more noticeable as the days grow longer, and I might add it is not enhancing anyone at all. According to Emily Post, girls should not groom their hair in public, or put on makeup. The proper place to do it is either at home or in a lounge where the public is not attracted to their presence. Some people I know will cal! me narrow minded after reading this, but just stop and think about what is really being said here. Girls in slack,s and pea jackets are frowned on when seen in school or down­ town. Remember they are only to be worn at certain sports and on certain occasions. Some girls fol­ low three simple steps in their everydaw life and to them should go a bouquet of ffowers. Neatness, simplicity, and originality are the three ways in which they can look like fresh, unadulterated girls again. Too much jewelry and pancake make-up is another problem a few girls have. Nothing is more irri­ tating to a boy than to have a girl smear pancake batter over his best suit. Keep blue jeans and sweat shirts away from school and town. They are all right for going on horse­ back trips and swimming parties, but that’s all. It is up to the individual girl to correct these habits. Never wear perfume to school. If there is any­ thing that distracts a teacher or a class, it is the smell of perfume in a room. Perfume should .only be worn on special occasions such as formal dances. Girls, remember when buying perfume to get only that perfume which will agree with your type. If you are a peppy girl, always on the go, you should get a light perfume. If you are the sultry Lauren Bacall type, try “Tabu” or “Shalima,” a very heavy essence, I assure you. Well, chillun, this looks like all the advice I can find for today. So remember, next time you feel that biological urge to groom up, step into a room or a lounge where no one can watch. It is not what you wear, but Jaow you go about wear- * • quired for approximately 75 tra nees, Price said, pointing out th; at the prseent time there are a] proximately 10,000 students ar trainees participating under the C bill in Colorado, New Mexic Utah and Wyoming. These stab and six counties in west Tex: comprise the 13th branch of V under the decentralization pn gram. Check-ups by training office will be made at least once a moni for the purpose of determinir whether the veteran “actually pursuing a course of training the place where he is enrolled ar whether his conduct and his pro; ress in the course are satisfactory Price stated. “Where definite courses of trai ing 'are lacking,” he continue! “VA training officers have bei instructed to advise training esta lishment officials to furnish a de initely outlined course of trainit offered veterans.” In cases whe training facilities are lacking ai a definite course cannot be set u he said, training officers have be< instructed to remove the veter: from training and to stop pa ments of substistence allowance However, when assurance given by the establishment th a course will be recorded promf ly, the veteran will be continu' in training status for a reasonat period, the VA official said. T' new plan provides that vetera may be removed from training they fail to show satisfactory pro ress when a bona fide course training is offered. The number of trainees and st dents in the four-state area serv by Branch 13 as of February totaled 11,247 including 2,165 o the-job trainees. For the nation a whole the total was 257,638 st dents and trainees, and appro; mately 44,000 on-the-job traini establishments had been approv throughout the 48 states. “VA is not concerned with trai ing at accredited colleges and ui versifies,” stated Price, explain! that most educational institutio have academic standards which students, including veterans w are attending under the GI b must meet in order to continue school.

Language Class to Correspond With South Americans The Spanish Classes are pro­ moting a theme of Pan American­ ism and friendship between the college students of Spanish speak­ ing America and the students of CJC. A project which has claimed the enthusiastic interest of several is the writing of letters to South American students in either Eng­ lish or Spanish. The international “Pen Pals” live in Bogota, Colum­ bia and in the Dominican Repub­ lic. Anyone who would like to correspond with these students should see Miss Furness to obtain a name. A famous ball player’s advice contains a gem of wisdom for all of us: “Know ahead of time what you. are going to do with the ball when you get it.” A Sweetheart Ball was held on February 15 for all Junior College students and their guests in the Rose Room of the Townsend ho­ tel. Milo Briigs and his orchestra furnished music for dancing from nine to twelve. The Rose Room was decorated with red and white streamers, hearts and cupids to carry out the theme of St. Valentine’s Day. The decorations centered on a throne set on a platform. At 9;45, Edna Jones was crown­ ed Queen of the Sweetheart Ball Kathleen Shoemaker, Ruth Oler and Lois Dean were presented as her attendants. Little Dorothy Coleman, dressed in a white Gre­ cian robe, presented each attend­ ant with a gardenia. J. D. Myres, who was in charge of the program then crowned the queen with a crown of roses. Throughout the evening, re­ freshments of coke, punch and pink iced cake were served in the Wyoming Room. Ella Jane Taylor was chairman of the decoration committee. Ac­ tive in preparations were Warren Weaver, Verla Tolman, Chuck McLean, Wilma Shafto, Ann Holscher, Mary Ellen Starks, and Olive Wolcott. “What’s Your Average?” “What’s your average?” This is the question that can be heard quite frequently in the idle con­ versation of the CJC students and which always compels poor bowl­ ers to change the subject. Of course not all Jr. College students (or teachers) are poor bowlers! One can see Joe Malin or Pete Beasley make one strike after another, almost anytime of the day or night. And then there are Mr. Ball, Paul Churchwell, and Frank Minuto who bowl with Joe and Pete or, shall we say, go with them. There are always two sides to a story and, of course, I’m always on the wrong side. I’m one of the few “good” bowlers who can tell Good FOOD & FOUNTAIN SERVICE I \Jr O Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. you what the alley feels like. And any time at all Verla “Maxie” Tolman will tell you how heavy a bowling ball is. She knows from experience that it’s too heavy to “drop kick” down the alley. "Mike” Shoemaker and Mar­ garet Giinther are experts at bowl­ ing backwards and will be even better when they learn to turn around. Sarah* Minihan thinks the floor has a magnetic attraction for the bowling ball, because the minute she picks it up her arm is almost pulled out of the socket getting the ball to the floor. Last, but not least, is the best “worst” bowler I’ve ever seen. To hear Ann Holschcr tell it, you’d think she had never seen a bowl­ ing alley, however, she rates the highest score of the CJC girls so far this season. This brings us back to averages and that’s where we started, but no matter how high or how low an average, how many, or how few “boners” we pull, we still have fun bowling and it’s really a swell sport. Now to massage my sore muscles! NO TIME FOR WAR There is no chosen age for war, No perfect time of life. No leave the easy shelter for The bullet, bomb, and knife. How can the choice be wholly right As long as it must lie Between the men too old to fight And those too young to die? —Chuck Morrison Let the other fellow talk occa­ sionally; you can’t learn much by listening to yourself all the time.
