Transcript of Homecoming Last Conference Home Game Scheduled For
By The EditorCampus “Isaac Waltons” have been turning out daily
in their efforts to bo the first Lumberjack to kill a deer but to date their success has been limited in a rather definite manne;. Of great interest, however, to innocent bystanders are the inevitable stories of the big buck that went over the hill “just as 1 got my gun to my shoulder, and he had a set of antlers like a rocking chair, too.”
* * * •
The- Lumberjack gridders proved the true calibre of their competitive spirit when they came from behind in the last quarter of Saturday’s battle and scored two touchdowns to put the game on ice against the Tempe Hullodgs. It was a great show of fight and determination at the hands of the varsity and orchids and bouquets are due them for their fine performance which was the deciding factor as to whether Homecoming would be a success or a failure.
The results of the “A” Club football ruffle were a different thing this year with the Homecoming game ball being won by Bill Phillips, tfimpus student from (ilobe. In recent years the football has always been won by people living in town and several shady remarks have been voiced by students to the effect that the raffle was “fixed”. Any doubt as to the lettermen’s group being on the up and up should be eliminated by the winner of the souvenir this year. Perhaps it would be better for us to know what we’re talking about before we offer our criticisms.
The 1938 Homecoming celebration is history. The event lived up to all previous expectations and certainly was sue- cessful with crushing, hard fought 19-13 victory on the gridiron Saturday afternoon. As a member of the Chain Gang, I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Richard Heath campus electrical engineer, who very generously donated his services to our organization in preparing th ^ a rg e “A” in front of the main building. The help of Jess (iaddis in the construction of the new steel frame “A” was also appreciated. Congratulations to the Homecoming committee composed of Mrs. Betty Irish, Miss Mary G. Boyer, De; Minnie Lintz, Ellen Harrigan, Donald Sell, and Doris Johns are also appropriate for the fine manner in which the celebration was handled.
"Pine Knots" Magazine To Be Best Ever
PUBLISHED BY ASSOCIATED STUDENTSTuesday, October 18, 1938 ARIZONA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE. FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA XXVI—No. 5
New Mexico University Game Highlight Program For Week
Pine Knots was organized in 1931 under Del Ward, an English major who is now teaching in the Yuma‘high school. The first magazine was published in 1932. The cover plate for this issue was designed by Bernice Duncan, an art major who is now Mrs. John Ny- len. Mr. Nylen teaches high school in Alhambra, Calif.
Thfe, magazine is published in issues of 250, and according to Dr. Hill, circulates “from coast to coast and from Maine to Alabama.”
Lionel Stevenson, who formerly had charge of the English department in Tempe and* now teachcs in U. S. C., writes, "I have been deeply interested in the copy of Pine Knots. The literary ability shown by the contributors is highly satisfactory, and the enterprise involved in bringing out such a handsome publication devoted entirely to artistic writing is also most commendable.”
George Pope Shannon, head of the English department at the Univereity of Alabama, writes, “I have just received a very attractive volume of Pine Knots. I have read it with pleasure.”
Miss Frances Gillmore, author of “Traders to the Navajos,” and other works, writes, “Congratulations to the Pine Knots. It represents good work, sound work, with no
- literary tricks to it.”This year the group plans a larg
er and more beautiful issue than ever before. A poem has already
been received from Mrs. Gladys Vondy Kobinson, of Denver, Colo., one uf the club's l in t members. Mrs. Robinson's work has received statewide recognition in Colorado.
Another plan is to use block print letters as the initial letters of each contribution. These letters have already been designed artistically and cut by one of the artists in the group, Allen Pender- graft. Designs will also be made as illustrations of the work submitted.
The magazine will be ready to go to press not later than February, 1929.
Hamlin Garland was entertained by the group when he last visited Flagstaff. He has since w ritten a poem, “For the Pine Knots of Flagstaff.”
The club has always consisted of at least 25 members, certain members being appointed by the president to read their work in each meeting. The other members are to give constructive criticism of what is read.
In order to join the group a student must present "two pieces of writing which are read by a member of the group and voted on by the group as a whole.
The membership is no* complete at the present time. When the membership Is full a waiting list will be inaugurated. Meetings occur the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. They are held a t 7 p. m. in Dr. Hill’s home a t, 108 West Aspen.

Homecoming Heralded As Best In History
Bonfire and Dance Worthy of Much Approval, Praise
This year’s Homecoming is be ing heralded as one of the most successful celebrations in the history of A. S. T. C. Both the alumni and the student body offered whole-hearted cooperation with the faculty and the Homecoming mittee in putting the affair
The celebration got under way with the burning of the bonfire Friday night at 7 :30 p. m. and was followed with a gala pajamerino through the city streets. The bonfire in itself was a huge success and much credit is due members of the Chain Gang andjthe freshman class for the construction of the super-fire which licked the darkness \Vith flames for some time a fter the departure of the student body on the pep rally. Noise bombs furnished by the Student Council served to liven things up considerably.
The campus was a hub-bub of activity early Saturday morning with students rushing here and there in preparation for the Homecoming pageant whi?h was inaugurated this year, replacing the usual colorful parade,- through town. The pageant under tho direction of Miss Klonda Lynn a n i Mrs. Betty Irish, apparently pleased a large audience which cheered and applauded wildly with the coronation of Allen Pentlergraft and Livinia 'Rigby as King and Queen of the affair and with the introduction of Miss Mary G. Boyer, in whose honor the event was held. Numerous colorful banners and skits were presented for the approval of the crowd. The drum and bugle corps and the band under the direction of Paul Henri Giroux and Prof. J. Alfred Anderson respectively Riwe commendable performances at the pageant.
Climaxing the hilarious affair was the timely 19-13 victory of the Logger football squad over the Tempe Bulldogs Saturday afternoon. Appearances of drum and bugle corps and bands from both the schools highlighted the inter- mi»M«>i »f hostilities or the gridiron at which time a large banner bearing “Congratulations Boyer' floated over the stands.
The HonSecoming ball, super- ised by Mrs. Catherine Beckwith,
capped all events in Ashurst auditorium Saturday night, following the banquet which was held a t the cafeteria. Miss Grace Crose and Mother Hanley were in charge of the banquet, with Clifford Harkins, president of the Alumni association. acting as master of ceremonies.

Junior Girl From Brazil Attends A.S.T.C.
Says Customs There Are Much Stricter Than In United StatesTo Dorothy Greenlaw, junior,
goes the distinction of being the student who has traveled farthest to go to school here. Her home is in the state of Santa Catherina, Brazil.
Dorothy was born in Flagstaff, but four and a half years ago, when her father's work called him to Brazil, his family accompanied him. He works in the lumber business.
The Brazilian Baptist college in San Paulos is the school she a ttended. She graduated last No.-ember. “Graduation from this ■ollege is practically the same as
graduation from junior college is in this country, although it is based on slightly different standards,” she states.
When asked how the school there compares with our own, she said, “It is quite.different. Cus-
m there is much stricter than it here.”
Dorothy, her sister, and two oth‘ er girls from Santos were the only Americans in the school.
Portuguese is the .national language of Brazil, and no other language can be used in scltools or oth-
public institutions. Therefore, _ was necessary for Dorothy to
learn the language as»soon as possible, During the first five months of school she studied and learned Portuguese in addition to her regular lessons. She learned chiefly from hearing it used.
"Portuguese is helping me ii the study of Spanish in man; ways, but it is confusing me some what in regard to differences ii pronunciation.”
The distance from Dorothy’s home to the colelge in Santos ii 400 miles. It takes three days to travel this distance on the English type narrow-guage railroad.
Traveling from the United States i Brazil by way of New Orleans
takes 22 days. Dorothy docs not plan to return ,to South America for a least two years. Her sister ‘ ill graduate then.
The room that she and Jessie Burchett share in the women’
i part of the open hoi__Dnmthy has several collections
South American butterflies framed and hung on her 'w alls . She also has framed a paper which tells of her initiation diAo the ranks of those whor have crossed the equator.
Summing up fier feelings about her South American experiences, she said, “I tjjs just as interesting as it can be, and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”
Finances Will Not Permit Larger Annual
This Year’s Edition Will Be Same Size As Last Year
After making rough estimates of the costs of the 1939 La Cuesta, and of the money available to the annual staff, it was decided to again publish an 8x11 La Cuesta instead of the larger size as had formerly been planned on, it was announced by Sam llitzky, editor of the yearbook.
There still remains a remote possibility of the larger book, the annual chief, added, but that cannot be depended on at the present time, as it will rest upon future developments. It will be possible, however, to make the late change if thought advisable.
Class ami organization layouts will be sent to the engravers within the next month, in order, that the annual may receive the discounts offered for early work. This will mean, however, that students must cooperate with the annual staff in having their pictures taken »♦ »n early date a t Carson’s Studio.
Musicians Get New Vibraphone And Recorder
A new electric vibfaphone and recording machine has been acquired by the music department, according to Dr. Eldon A Ardrey.
The vibraphone will be used mainly for show purposes for the band and choir in concert programs in the opinion of the head of the music department. Its use will be appropriate in performances by both the choir and the band and will become more useful as students learn of its value and
Paul Henri Giroux played the instrument a t the first appearance of the choir a t the Kiwanis convention and numerous other students will be instructed on the vibraphone before the year is over, said Dr. Ardrey.
A “no game” was ruled in University of Illinois-University of Chicago contest in 1894 within 21 minutes of the end of the game because Illinois substituted coach for a regular player.

Giroux Gives Constructive Sermon Sunday
Are you a “Flying Dutchman” of fog or fantasy or a guided “Normandie” That was the question Paul H. Giroux put to his con- | gregation at the J1 o’clock service of the Church of Christ, Sunday, October 16.
The “Flying Dutchman” is a ship which is seen and then vanishes. It doesn’t travel to any destination because it has no stears- man to guide its rudder. Man can be like the "Flying Dutchman” according to Mr. Giroux.
“Our tongue is our rudder,” he stressed. Some tongues are like
tied in the middle and flapping at both ends.
"Our tongues," Mr. Giroux continued, “should have someone a t the helm. The helm he says is our mind and who could be a bette r stearsman than Christ?
Giroux advocated talking to a person rather than about them. He brought out the idea that while Christ might have called men hypocrites he did it directly and not in godsip behind their backs. His tongue was guided and not without a stearsman.

•BOY” IS DEAI);MASTER GRIEVING
“Boy” is dead. “Boy,” familiar to all students as the playmate of the little Gaddis boy, had but one fault. He was too trusting. His trust extended to food given him by a murderer— food which was poisoned—food which threw him Into violent spasms—spasms in which he plead with fiis big eyes for forgiveness from his little master for not being able to play— spasms ending finally in the agony of a poisoned death—a death which the murderer did not have Uie courage to face.
"Boy's” little master is heartbroken. No longer is his dumb companion with him to keep him out of the way of passing cars. No longer is he present to stand between master and possible danger. No longer is he present to share cookies and commands impartially.
In the tninds of the parents of the small m»*Wr is an anger and a thaQ&yfiving. Anger at the individual poisBning their small son's guardian; thanksgiving that tHeir son did not share the poisoned food as he shared his cookies with “Boy.”
“Boy” had one fault. He was too trusting. He trusted a murderer. May “Boy” rest in dog heaven as should all who havje lived a good life.

AJ3.T.C. Growth Traced By 1st Pageant Here
“From Insane Asylum To State College” Was Theme Of Story By Narrator ^“An insignificant little Normal
school in the backwoods of Arizofia has become an important State College with the power to grant bachelor and master degrees."

Lobos Confident of Win Over Loggers; -
h Plenty of MaterialCoach G arrett Arbelbide will pit
his Lumberjack gridders against the strong University/)? NewJMex- ico Lobos on Skidmore field-Satur- day. It will be the second and last home Border Conference game for the Jacks. The third and final home game will be a non-conference affair with Panhandle Oklahoma A. & M. on November 5.
The Jacks are now m their prime as was evidenced in the Tempe victory last week. On the other hand, the Lobos are confident of beating the Loggers. That fact is apparent in a news release from Editor E. F. Goad of the U. of M. publicity bureau. Editor Goad proclaims, “That the Lobos will be better this year than last, when they lost four, won four, and tied one, nobody doubts. Ju st how good they will be is any fan’s guess. Certainly they expect to lose to Texas Tech and to Denver. On OTHER scheduled games, Ted Shipkey, coach, is mildly OPTIMISTIC. If U. N. M. does not have a good season it will not be from lack of material.”
Halfback Bill Dwyer Is the pride of the Lobo #quad. He played his first year of college football on the frosh team a t Pitt. Coach Jock Sutherland, Pitt, considered him a great prospect for the varsity, but Dwyer came west to U. N. M. where he has starred. L ast season he kicked 10 punts over 76 yards and has an average distance of 43.2 yards for nine games. He averaged five yards per try a t ball carrying last season. #
Coach Shipkey ^has a squad of •12 players, including three centers, 10 guards, six tackles, 10 ends, three fullbacks, eight halfbacks, and two quarterbacks.
The end positions are particularly strong with a t least six of
guard, the Lobos have a team daddy. “Baby” is 28 years old and hails from Syracuse, N. Y. He is not so old but what he has the reputation of being the fastest man and most deadly blocker on the squad.
Saturday’s starting Axeman lineup will probably find Hightower at right end, Kling a t right tackle, Young at right guard, Fred Smith a t center, Quaderer a t left guard, Pavlich at left tackle, Ray Brown at left'end , Homer Brown nt quarterback. Riddle a t right half, Salzbrenner a t left half, and Akers a t fu ll All of these men played good ball against Tempe last Saturday, but will probably have to give more this week as the Lobos beat the Bulldogs by three touchdowns.
The stands were packed with fans last week and It is expected that the Lobo game will draw nearly as large a crowd. Support the Axemen! Get in the college rooting section Saturday!
