FINDING A "JUST RIGHT" SPOT UNDER A TREE, BOTANY 6 STUDENTS LOIS CARVER, BETTY SHURTLIFF, AND RUTH TORGENSON CHATTED AWHILE BEFORE BEGINNING THE SERIOUS WORK OF CLASSIFYING PLANTS. Let's Go A-Maying MEDALOU WINTER SOUGHT THE WIDE OPEN SPACES, SAT DOWN TO REALLY STUDY. EVEN THE SHARP CLICK OF DR. MINER'S CAMERA DIDN'T RAISE HER FROM HER STUDIOUS SOLILOQUY. 32 DR. MINER CHOSE THE SPECIMENS FOR THEIR STUDY AND HE WAS QUITE INDISCRIMINATE, BUT VERY PATIENT. HOWARD BEAUDOIN AND RUTH MADSEN KEPT THEIR EYES ON DR. MINER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEIR WORK WAS GOOD. EVERY Spring when the classrooms are not too breezy and the students are restless, the registrants of Botany 6 head for the river. Not for a swim, not for a drink, just for a field trip. Swinging jackets and light coats, confident that Summer is right on its way they stroll along. Dr. Ernest L. Miner points out the beauties of nature; however, his habit of forgetting common names perplexes the students. When the group reaches the river bank they gather in small huddles to count stamens and pistils, memorize new Latin and Greek terms, and identify strange live flowers whose delicate parts call for a microscope. The job goes on for at least two hours and when the sun ducks behind the cloud they don their jackets and saunter toward the campus. Footsore and sunburned they congregate in the Bookstore for ice cream cones and cokes. DICK ADAMS AND ARTHUR JACKSON TOOK A TRY AT THINKING ON THEIR FEET. WAYNE GRASER AND OWEN MANNING SAT DOWN TO REALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BENDING LOW OVER THEIR BOOKS, CAROLINE HOBSON, BONNIE CLAY, AND MARIAN BLAIR STUDIED SOME AND TALKED SOME. AS THEY SAT ALONG THE RIVER BANK OBSERVING, COUNTING, AND TALKING, DR. MINER TRIED FOR A GROUP PICTURE. THEY, UNMINDFUL OF HIS EFFORTS, ARRANGED THEMSELVES INARTISTICALLY. 33
