EASTER EVE No Time For Studying School, Bah!
Bv Phyllis Collier
'Twas the night before Easter, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring; no one except me.
There I was, alone, with an unfinished term paper before my eyes, and the empty echo of a vacant hall resounding in my ears. A pencil rested in my fingers, but try as I would, I couldn't make it write anything constructive on the empty sheet before me. To Come Home Through
The radio wasn't even behaving decently. Guess all the entertainers went home for Easter.
I could have gone home too, I guess, except for a feature story I was to hand in Saturday, a term paper that was due Monday, and a short 100-page assignment which was shortened to that length because Sunday was Easter and the professor wanted to be "lenient." Yes, I could have gone home, too, I guess.
Alone, All Alone
But I was going to play the martyr. I was going to stay there in my own dark room and complete pre-Easter and post-Easter assignments. There I was, alone, lonesome, and scared. Black branches brushed against my window, a black cloud hung over the moon, and the floors squeaked.
My ambling thoughts and vivia imagination suddenly returned to normal. Oh, yes, the term paper. Oh well, maybe I could concentrate better on the 100-page chapter. I tried, honestly. But reading about murder trials doesn't help matters when you are home, alone, and scared.
Footsteps In The Dark
I heard a door quietly open, and then footsteps. I froze to my chair, my eyes stared toward the window, and not a muscle in my body moved. Then, I relaxed. Of course, there was another person still there at the house besides me. It gave me consolation. Here was someone with whom I could talk.
And then, ah me. I remembered who it was. It was the girl I had quarreled with earlier and had practically told to go "jump in the lake." Why had I never learned to hold my tongue? I could bury the hatchet now, I thought. This would be a good excuse. But my pride wouldn't let me do it. I'd just keep real quiet and make her worry about being alone and being scared the same as I had.
But She Wouldn't Scare
But being alone didn't seem to bother her. She turned on the radio and began singing along with the torch singer. Guess she was happy. Well, I could still study. At least it was a solace to know someone else was in the house besides me. But her singing distracted me. I kept hearing, "You'd Be So Nice

There was an alternative. I quickly undressed, crawled in bed and pulled the covers far above my head. A night completely wasted. And I was to have been a martyr. Perhaps I was.

Work on Alcan Highway... Smith, Laudon Accept Special Summer Positions
1. 2023-09-01
Dr. H. T. U. Smith and versity of Kansas geology time assignments with the this summer. Headquarters Edmonton, Alberta. Doctor leave for Edmonton May 1
The New Alcan highway has opened up possible transportation routes into vast areas of unexplored area reaching from the foothills of the Canadian rockies in northern Alberta to the Mackenzie mountains and the Arctic sea. Since the earliest exploration of the Mackenzie river valley, the famous Athabaska tar sands have suggested the occurrence of petroleum under this vast area.
The development of the great Turner valley oil field and the recent discoveries of petroleum at Fort Norman, almost at the arctic circle, have made the area look even more promising. Discovery of additional petroleum reserves in this area is of immediate importance in connection with the Alaskan war theatre.
Dr. L. R. Laudon, both of the Uni faculty, have accepted special war Imperial Oil Company of Canada for the Canol project is located at Smith and Doctor Laudon plan to
The area to be explored is in the foothills belt of the Canadian rockies and the Mackenzie mountains. It is heavily covered with a dense growth of virgin pine forests. Hundreds of blue glacial lakes dot the upland surfaces. Fast mountain streams emerge from the mountains and cross the area. Difficult swamps and muskeg bogs cover much of it. This region is widely advertised for its mosquitoes and swarms of black flies. Much of the area is far enough north to have over 20 hours of sunlight each day during the summer.
Doctor Smith and Doctor Laudon are both connected with the Aerial Geology survey. At present, they are engaged in gathering tough field clothing in preparation for the summer. Both are anticipating a rough but very interesting summer.
Dedicated to the men and crew who loved and cherished "Mary Ann," their flying fortress.
