Pine staff and was later employed
as news writer at the Coconino
Sun. He then became editor of the
Holbrook Tribune-News, another

his overseas assignment he was a
member of the Associated Press

His narrow escape from death
occurred on December 15, 1943,
when Eunson rode in with the first
line of assault boats headed for the
New Britain island objective. The
small attacking force drove into
the heavy fire of Jap defenders
and was nearly annihilated. AS
Eunson hopped from one of the
rubber landing craft hie typewriter

Plans For Postwar
Disabled Veterans
Buddy, when the war is over,
what are you going to do in civil*
ian life? A big question.
Probably jobs will be scarce for
sometime—but— one thing is sure;
the man that has the best educa­tion
will stand the best chancp for
the best job.
Under the Veteran's' Bill of
Rights’, recently enacted by Con­gress,
you will be eligible, upon
application, for training in your
chosen field in a school of your
choice.
Arizona State Teachers College
invites you to its Campus, to enjoy
excellent facilities and opportun­ities
for advanced education, cul­tural
development, social life and
relaxation in.ihe Center of Ameri­ca's
playground.
Of particular interest to dis­abled
veteran students should be
the courses offered in the Indust-
*rial Arts and Industrial Educa­tion.
While the opportunities in
this field have been extensive in
the past, they are now rapidly ex
panning. It is extremely doubtful
if the increased demand for teach­ers
in this field can be met for
the next several years.
This department offers you mod­ern
shops and draftin g rooms,
equipped with modem machinery.
The shop-laboratories afford full
facility for work in metal, w’oods,
drawing, finishing, electrical re­search,
and all the various- activ­ities
of an up-to-date Arts and
Crafts Course.
Aside from the immediate utili­tarian
purpose, these courses are
widely employed by the Govern­ment
as a means of manual ther­apy
for disabled veterans.

of the attack was regarded as one
of the war’s outstanding stories.
He later flew on several com­bat

Art Group Takes
Three Day Trip
To Indian Country
Thirty seven students and facul-
’ members of the Elementary
ducation Work Shop arrived
home late Sunday evening from a
three-day trip to the Honi Indian
villages.
This group, sponsored by the
Indian Arts and Crafts section of
the Work Shop, left the campus
Friday and arrived at Oraibi, late
that afternoon.
According to advance arrange­ments
which were made for the
group by John and Carlotta Con­nelly,
former ASTC alumni, the
visitors were entertained at the
Guest House of Polingaysi, better
known as Elizabeth White, also a
former student on the ASTC cam­pus.
Immediately following dinner,
the group witnessed a demonstra­tion
of Tnird Mesa Basket Making
by Anna Fredericks, one o f Orai-bi’s
most gifted artists. Later Mrs.
Fredericks demonstrated the mak­ing
of piki, the facous paper-thin
bread of the Hopis, sometimes
called “tissue-paper bread.
On Saturday the i
ed the Nieman Kachina ceremony
witness-at
Shungopovi. This is one of the
most important and elaborate cere­monies
of the Hopi calendar, as it
celebrates the departure of the
Rachinas from the village to their
home on the San Francisco Peaks,
called by the Hopis, “ P&hoki,
meaning Home of The Rain Gods.
At the noon interval the guests
were entertained a t picAic lunch
m the Shungopbvi Day School.
Assisting Mrs. White and Mr. and
Mrs. Connelly with these arrange­ments
were Mrs. Elvin and Miss
Steates, Toreva, and Mr. and Mrs.
Scott, Second Mesa. Present also
at the luncheon were Mr. and Mrs.
B urton A. Ladd. Mr. Ladd, Su-perintendent
of the Hopi Agency,
spoke a few words of official
greeting to those present and men­tioned

contacta which the Indian Service
group had with ihe faculty and
students of ASTC.
While at Shungopovi, a demon­stration
of coiled-type Second
Mesa basketry was given by Nellie,
noted basket maker <ot Hopiland.
Also there was displayed an ex­hibit
of Hopi Arts and Crafts, in­cluding
basketry, rugs, ceremonial
garments, Kachmas, musical in ­struments
and silver jewelry.
On Sunday, the group witnessed
another phase of the Nieman K a­china
ceremony at Shipaulovi,
after which they visited Walpi,
sometimes known as the pottery
mesa, since it is on this mesa that
all the decorated Hopi pottery is
made.
Following dinner at noon Sun­day,
the group left for Moencopi,
stopping on the way at Hotevifla
for the purpose of viewing the
famous terraced gardens there. *
Still another phase of the Nie­man
ceremony was observed a t

A half-century devoted to education will come to an end
this week as Andrew C. Peterson, associate professor of the
social studies at Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff,
retires from active service as a member of the college faculty.
Mr. Peterson began teaching at Concho, Arizona, in
1894. Since that time he has been associated with public
and private educational institutions in various capacities.
He has also taken an active part in many other activities,
particularly those of the Mormon church, and has served
in the state legislature.
He spent the first eight years of
his life in his native state of Utah.
In the spring of 1878 he moved to
Arizona. The trip, made with three
yoke of oxen, was begun in the
spring, and ended six months later
when the family arrived in Brig­ham
City, Arizona.
In 1880, the fam ily moved to
St. Johns, Ariz. The first school
Mr. Peterson attended was the old
white school house in St. Johns.
Mr. Peterson, then 17 years old.
had been unable to attend a school
earlier, and he found him self in
the midst of a group of much
younger and much smaller stu­dents.
Later he attended St. Johns
Academy, and in 1892, went to
Brigham Young Academy, now
Librarian Presents
New Extension Plan
Many of the summer school stu-dents'have
expressed the wish th a t
they might have access to library
materials such as books, pamphlets
and pictures to assist them in their
teaching next winter. Others have
looked longingly at books that they
wished they might read for enjoy­ment
and information, but found
no time for outside reading during
the summer session.
Beginning September 4th, libra­ry
materials may be borrowed by
the teachers of AriztSna from
ASTC Library. A fee of three dol­lars
for the school year of two
semesters will be charged. One to
three books may be borrowed a t
any one time for a period of one
month. Anyone interested may pay
the fee %nd enroll for this service
in the Registrar's office.

Gingherick, the librarian.

At Hart Prairie
The Lumberjack Bus arrived
near the Science Building a t 2:30
p. m., and we all piled in. The bus
was not as loaded as it could have
been, but was just fu ll enough.
The road to H art Prairie took us
past the Arizona Museum of Na-tual
History,'where we stopped to
pick up more passengers, b u t we
did not have enough time to go in.
We also went past Fort Valley
Ranger Experimental Station,
which was established in 1908. It
is auite a distance from Flagstaff,
probably for the sake of privacy.
We were riding along through
the pines, when suddenly there waa
a grove of Quaking Aspen, all tall
ana white. They were a lovely con­trast
to the pines we were used
to. One thing that impressed us
most was the fact that the earth
was black, loose, and damp. Prob­ably
much sunlight reaches it for
there is a thick carpet of vegeta­tion
covering all the ground.
Ferns and other rare plants were
to be seen everywhere. Mr. Sum­mers
dug up the roots of one of
these ferns and showed how the
underground system works. Ferns
do not produce seeds, but live and
multiply by the underground root
system.
Further on, we had a wonderful
view of the, Snow Bowl and the Ski
Cabin. The <»bin was hard to see
for the aspens on the mountain­side
almost completely covered it.
We found th at the cabin is a com­munity
