CbwiuuL and tibouL Sarah l.nuium Meyer ... III? To Honor Scholarship. To Inspire Youth "Lengthy and stuffy" la the un fortunate reputation of the annual honors convocation. Indeed so much is the bad name of the evc.it that each year the caking joints do a bigger business at the crucial hours and attendance hits lower . lows. Dignity need not be boring, nor yet the rewards of virtue dull. But they sure as all hell are. George Fort Milton was given a pomewhat unfulfillable assignment as speaker of the day, and there fore all the blame for the wriggly crowd need not rest upon his sturdy self. But In attempting to cover his topic he galloped along at a rate unseemly in a southern gentlemen, while his budding con freres in the newspaper game, be nighted beginning Journalism stu dents, stumbled along to keep up as best they could with curses for their unkind Fate. Whatever Mr. Milton's Ideas were, and all sorts of things seemed to whir by our ears In a relentless stream, we relish his aptness of speech. An old old phrase would come up smiling under a bright new super-glossy varnish to fit Into the neatly In laid table supporting the conten tion that youth can make of the world what it will. But some of us couldn't solve the jigsaw for the pretty pieces. However the icactions of other listeners are a much better indica tor of the direction of the wind than the pour- faced comments of this cryptic. From our vantage point we watched Dr. Wimberly absorb the picture of 1937 Amer ica, chin on hand, while his dash ing son chewed gum, took notes and looked up at the balcony. We saw the furious scribbling of June Bierbower, sports lover, who did not dare to glance at the stage for fear of missing an important point. And we noted C. D. Hayes' rapt attention, hands clasping his kners. Dean Lyman was imposing from his platform seat with his Mortar Board pulled low over h's brow. A white haired gentle nan in the front row slumbered blissfully thru the challenge to youth pep talk. The two babies In the audience did likewise. The first exits were made 25 min utes after starting time, occur ring during the introduction to the long heralded address. Mr. Crawford thought crea tively thru his horn rimmed spectacles at the balcony spec tators. Bob Mossholder and Ralph Reeder displayed a duty bound brand of attention; Dean Harper leaned comfortably against the ramp opening, and counted noses. And Virgil Yel kin lasted surprisingly long all alone In the south balcony. But biggest surprise of the day was the belligerent front names of Band Leader Quick appearing on the program William Tunis. One of the "sing it!" type of music lover much prefers the Warian "Billy 'Get Hot' Quick." When all's said and done the most significant feature of hon ors assemblies is that they've been perpetrated for nine long years. A Word to the Wise. The leading scholastic lights of the graduating class had a preview nf the warming effects of long black robes in their stage session yesterday, and are already begin ning to infer what June heat will mean under their garb of learning. The tale is told of a young lady who, after the graduation exer cises from an Omaha high school, had a swimming date. So she re ceived her diploma in a carefully pinned up gown and a bathing suit. Is Nothing Sacred? Dean Lyman strongly feels that women are unduly usurping man's place in the vast scheme of things, even in this enlighten ed country. Pretty soon females will invade the last masculine province, and shoulder rifles. "Then," opines the revered dean, "war will be hell." sinfonstoorTmale quartet jn broadcast Master Singers to Present Program Over KFAB Thursday.

Remarking on the modes by which faith is exhibiting or to what specific symbols it has at tached itself, Mr. Milton told of his recent trip to northern Europe where he found youth "alive, vi tal, determined and enormously eager and anxious to play its part in the world," and, like Amer ica, youth once more has faith in itself, in life and in the nation.
