Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hill of San Francisco were on their way to A. S. T. C. List Sunday to bring some annual supplies to the I-a Ouesta when a passing car skidded into their vehicle. The Hills are now receiving friends at the Flagstaff hospital, and expect to continue their residence in Flagstaff for another six weeks or so. When asked about the accident, the annual staff agreed that the collision was most unfortunate, but that nork upon the 1-a Cucsta would speed up tremendously. New I .a Cuesta headquarters for the next six weeks will be it the hospital.
It’s impossible to guess how much more snow will fall in this neck of the woods. Therefore, the Pine staff urges the student body to take advantage of present conditions and take in some of the winter sports that are offered— j skiing, sledding, tobogganing—and before you get into bed at night, be sure to pray for more snow so that we can have ' a winter carnival.

For the concluding item, what would be better than to offer congratulations to Joan Gold and Tommy Anderson? The Andersons have just announced their marriage, which took place last Armistice Day in I-as Vegas. Nev. Good Luck to the two of you from the Pine staff.

Winona Culture Is Reported By Prof. McGregor
Many Valuable Articles Recovered Through Aid From Arizona Museum
Prof. J. C. McGregor, in reporting on the progress of the excavation being done at TVipona under the joint sponsorship of the Museum of Northern Arizona and the college, says that the most basic influence at Winona was from the Hohokam, an outside culture.
The report appeared in “Museum Notes,” recently published by the museum, and in most cases confirmed conclusions tentatively drawn shortly after the work was begun in 1936. At the time of the first report on the progress of the work McGregor stated that additional digging would probably reveal a strong Hohokam influence and possibly Mogollon influence on the local culture of the brief Winona period.
Pottery recovered from the site has been found to be of types derived from Mogollon types or strongly resembling the sedentary Hohokam pottery of the Gila Basin. The larger vessels used in cooking and storage show particularly many characteristics of the latter type.
Although certain characteristic artifacts found in Hohokam ruins have not been discovered, such as mirrors, legged vessels, relief shell carving?, and shell etching, enough specific characters have occurred, McGregor believes, ‘to establish their (Hohokam) presence as definite traits of this peculiar intermediate culture.”
As well as confirming previously formed opinions, the recent activities at the site have added much additional data. Whole vessels have been found of types known previously from sherds only. Three methods of disposal of cremated remains have been found, as have three more house types.
It is expected that as examination and cataloging of recovered articles progress, much additional information will be added to that now available on the culture and development of early life in the Winona vicinity.
