Published Thursday, March 17, 1960. Bill D. Burlison, left, president of the Toastmasters Club, receives a novel podium, built for the club by the State College Industrial Arts Club. The presentation was made by Dean Burns, center, president of the club. Looking on is Dean E. Tollefson, administrative vice president of the Toastmasters. The lecturn is adjustable to fit the height of most speakers, with 10 adjustments. There is a light on the stand to illuminate the speaker's notes. Mr. Tollefson holds the remote control lever that controls the warning lights. A green light flashes to warn that speaking time is almost up, and a red light flashes when time is up. Lights are visible only to the speaker.

April 4, 1963 Southeast Missourian. Henry Wiseman, 1739 Bessie, wants no trouble with birds. He reseeded his lawn and is determined the seed eaters won’t feast at his expense. So he got out some old shirts, built T-shape frames and draped the shirts over them. The flapping sleeves and shirt tails are effective, Mr. Wiseman said, in hinting to the birds they are not welcome. The shirts are scattered in numerous places on the lawn. (G.D.
