Included in this wishful thinking is an ardent desire to see the peoples of Venezuela. Chile and Brazil. Their customs and costumes fascinate her, while the terrible conflict coupled with the ideals of Europe has lessened her wish to see those countries.

Likes Courtesy In a high school student Miss Butts likes to see courtesy and manners practiced at all times. From six to eight hours are enough sleep for pupils, but it all depends on the individual. Wild Rose and Evening in Paris are her favorite perfumes.

In colors for both clothes and home, green predominates, but red follows in a close second place. Attends Although Miss Butts has had several trying experiences, the one that stands out the most is the hard struggle for her Bachelor of Arts degree. She has had an extensive education, having attended the following colleges for a term or a summer course: University of New Mexico at Albuquerque: Colorado State Teachers in Greeley. Colorado; Colorado University at Boulder, Colorado; Northwestern Teachers college in Missouri: Columbia University in New York City, and Iowa's own Stale Teachers college at Cedar Falls. Miss Butts' life is highlighted by her many travels.

"See America First" has been her motto as she has visited in all but 12 of the 48 states. In all her travels she has followed these rules: "Know the background of your history- Look while you are there. Go home and appreciate it." Miss Butts states, "Go west for natural scenery, and go east for history."

"A i'rce, virtuous and enlightened people nrnst know the great principles and causes on which their happiness depends." This quotation by James Monroe seen on the American Observer magazine by eleventh grade history students for the past year, is more than, a group of words a i i a subject and predicate. It is a direct challenge to the youth of today. What do young- people know about the government of our country? Will they, the future leaders, be able to carry out the plan for an everlasting world of peace? No, not unless they know and understand the faults of past and present administrations and how best to correct these errors. This they can learn only by careful and serious study of history, yesterday and today.

A recent examination entitled "Test of Understanding of United States History" by TIarry O. Berg University of New Hampshire," was given to various groups of people throughout the country. Results of the test showed a one-half of the high school seniors who took it received above 22 per cent and the other half received below this grade. Military students pursuing a college course displayed a median ol' only 29 per cent. Let us, as students and future leaders, study and understand this subject so that our posterity will not again have to fight for our freedoms.

-Ruth Anderson Huskies Score Swisher by Deyo, in the first five seconds of the second quarter, followed by a free throw, threw the Oelwein crowd into a frenzy of cheering.

At this point Becker and Risk on a shooting spree for the Maroons put in two field goals to upset the Huskies' apple cart and end the third quarter 24-20, Maroons' favor. Nerve-racking last quarter commenced with a one-pointer by Rice Becker of the Maroons then sank the game-winning shot.
