MR. FENSTEMAKER VICTIM
the last session of the Place and Purpose class through in a most bewildered state of mind.
An investigation immediately followed and revealed that more suspects and complications were involved than in any other case of recent
record. The suspects and accomplices in the conspiracy were narrowed
down to such prominent campus
characters as: Ida Mae Clark, Marie
Kru m, Carrie Johnson, Eudora Berlew, Evelyn George, Elvira Bitetti,
Betty Bryant, Harriet Hildebrand,
Anna Pappas, Nelena Pope, Phyllis
Schrader, Jacq ueline Shaffer, Betty J.
Smith, Marjorie Stover and Lorraine
Utt.
Several clues as to the method employed were gleaned from the testimonies given by the suspects and
reco mmendations have been made to
prevent &ny further outbursts of this
type. Evelyn George, one of the suspects, testified that since she was unable to buy an apple she was forced
to "bum " one from a woman in market. Further enlightening testimony
revealed that some of the apples were
purposely of the type that would soon
spoil the barrel. And to complete the
outrage it was discovered that the
conspira tors complained that they
were coerced into an undertaking
which proved quite expensive when
you consider the cost of the apples.
Af ter weeks of exhausting investigation the list of suspects was narrowed down to Ida Mae Clark, a mischief bent little Audrey, who has the
habi t of playing j okes on other people
and who has been indicted as the
leader of the conspiracy.
Mr. riowara t enstemaKer, wno is
pr ofessor of l&nguages on. this campus
—and a goodly number of incidental
subjects—was the victim of an atrociously perpetrated conspiracy which
came to light on November 21, 1942.
Amateur campus detectives have
been busy since then unraveling the
mystery of what they have come to
call the Apple Day Conspiracy.
From facts gleaned on the scene of
the conspiracy, from questions asked
of witnesses and from cross-examination of suspects, the amateurs now
announce a possible solution to the
case.
During the course of the search for
clues it developed that Mr. Fenstemaker announced that the last day of
class was, in past eras, the day on
which the students presented their
teacher with an apple. This little incident was passed by casually and
the class proceeded with its exhausting researches into the "Place and
Purpose of Education."
During the following week it seems
that the "Little Audreys" completed
the details of their brazen conspiracy
which had such shocking results .
On Saturday morning, November
21, it develops that the innocent little
conspirators made a hurried trip to
Room 40 of Science Hall before the
first bell rang and each deposited a
big red apple glistening as though it
were painted with shellac on Mr.
Fens temaker 's desk.

Beginning this week , we will omit
the address before each letter that appears in the column. This will be
necessary since printing complete addresses may give the enemy helpful
information which means prolonging
the struggle.
The fact was brought to our Editor's
attention when he received a letter
from the War Department last week;

BUS. ED. CLUB HOLDS
BI-MONTHLY MEETING
On Thursday , February 4, the Business Education Club held their bimonthly meeting in the auditorium of
Carver Hall. The meeting was opened
by President Sara Wagner; The minutes were th en rea d by the secretar y
and roll was taken. A motion was
made by several of the club members
that a motto and colors be selected
for the organization.
After a discussion on what colors
would be best suited for the club/ it
was decided to postpone accepting
any definite two colors until the next
meeting. Then, at the suggestion of
Mr. Rygiel, President Wagner read a
li st of m ott os to give t h e memb ers an
idea of the large selection there is to
choose from. This, too , upon the
agreement of t h e club w as p ostponed
until the next meeting.
Play Presented
The program was then turned over
to t h e entert ai nment comm it tee,
which was under the direction of
Elsie Flail. A play was presented entitled, "The Army Without Uniforms."
The cast included Eileen Falvey, Jean
Maschal, Gloria Belcastro and Shirley
Wolf e, as four high school girls discussing their present status in the
war effort. Mary Schroeder acted as
narrator for the play while the musical background was supplied by William Hummel.
After the play, President Wagner
acknowledged the presence of Mr.
Gehrig, the new faculty member of
the Business Education Department ,
expressing the club's appreciation in
having him attend the meeting and
also welcoming him to attend the following meetings of the organization.

WAR STAMPS
Much of today's aerial warfare
is fought at extreme high altitudes
and the sub-zero temperature at
such heights makes flying gloves a
vital part of our airmen's equip- ;
ment. These gloves cost $1.50 a
pair and must be supplied to each
air fighter.
Each time you buy $1.50 worth
of War Stamps, you are lending
y our government enough money to
purchase a pair of gloves to keep
t he fin gers of one of our l
f iers warm

but they can do their share on the

best you may do that.

Men connected with the regimenting o£ our armed forces are complaining, of the inadequacy of the knowledge of high school and college recruits. Their knowledge is too liberal,
they have retained too little to use as
a firm foundation for further development, They hove just let instruction slip by them AND THEY ARE
STILL DOING IT.
This points out the deplorable condition—Negligence of work. "Why

MR. FENSTEMAKER VICTIM
the last session of the Place and Purpose class through in a most bewildered state of mind.
An investigation immediately followed and revealed that more suspects and complications were involved than in any other case of recent
record. The suspects and accomplices in the conspiracy were narrowed
down to such prominent campus
characters as: Ida Mae Clark, Marie
Kru m, Carrie Johnson, Eudora Berlew, Evelyn George, Elvira Bitetti,
Betty Bryant, Harriet Hildebrand,
Anna Pappas, Nelena Pope, Phyllis
Schrader, Jacq ueline Shaffer, Betty J.
Smith, Marjorie Stover and Lorraine
Utt.
Several clues as to the method employed were gleaned from the testimonies given by the suspects and
reco mmendations have been made to
prevent &ny further outbursts of this
type. Evelyn George, one of the suspects, testified that since she was unable to buy an apple she was forced
to "bum " one from a woman in market. Further enlightening testimony
revealed that some of the apples were
purposely of the type that would soon
spoil the barrel. And to complete the
outrage it was discovered that the
conspira tors complained that they
were coerced into an undertaking
which proved quite expensive when
you consider the cost of the apples.
Af ter weeks of exhausting investigation the list of suspects was narrowed down to Ida Mae Clark, a mischief bent little Audrey, who has the
habi t of playing j okes on other people
and who has been indicted as the
leader of the conspiracy.
Mr. riowara t enstemaKer, wno is
pr ofessor of l&nguages on. this campus
—and a goodly number of incidental
subjects—was the victim of an atrociously perpetrated conspiracy which
came to light on November 21, 1942.
Amateur campus detectives have
been busy since then unraveling the
mystery of what they have come to
call the Apple Day Conspiracy.
From facts gleaned on the scene of
the conspiracy, from questions asked
of witnesses and from cross-examination of suspects, the amateurs now
announce a possible solution to the
case.
During the course of the search for
clues it developed that Mr. Fenstemaker announced that the last day of
class was, in past eras, the day on
which the students presented their
teacher with an apple. This little incident was passed by casually and
the class proceeded with its exhausting researches into the "Place and
Purpose of Education."
During the following week it seems
that the "Little Audreys" completed
the details of their brazen conspiracy
which had such shocking results .
On Saturday morning, November
21, it develops that the innocent little
conspirators made a hurried trip to
Room 40 of Science Hall before the
first bell rang and each deposited a
big red apple glistening as though it
were painted with shellac on Mr.
Fens temaker 's desk.

WUatljau Buy With
WAR STAMPS
Much of today's aerial warfare
is fought at extreme high altitudes
and the sub-zero temperature at
such heights makes flying gloves a
vital part of our airmen's equip- ;
ment. These gloves cost $1.50 a
pair and must be supplied to each
air fighter.
Each time you buy $1.50 worth
of War Stamps, you are lending
y our government enough money to
purchase a pair of gloves to keep
t he fin gers of one of our l
f iers warm
and flexible on the controls and
gun tri gger s. School boys and girls
can't serve act ively in the fighting
but they can do their share on the
home front by purchasing War
Stamps regula rly. Your Schools At
War program will show you how
best you may do that.
