Owing to the prevalence. or rather
scare, Sf contagious diseases in the
city, the boys are limited to the college
; grounds, but this restriction is more
! than compensated for by more freuuenp
/ social happenings within the college,
On Saturday evening the Rev Presi-
! dent gave a progressive high five party
I TO the senior classes. From s until 10
] the recreation hall was alive with mer-
/ riment and good natured emulation to
win a few select prizes. When time
was called MeSsrs. Furley and Luddy
had won the greatest number of games
and accordingly drew for first prize
which went to the latter Jim Cloonan
was awarded the BOBBY prize. He was
worthy of better fate. There are
times when science has to lower hen
colOrS to a continuous run of bad luck
.
After the games refreshments were
served in the dining hall Judging
from the rapid disappearance of cake
and other good things progressive high
five must be a wonderful appetizer 1t

others might be included in the list of
those likely to swell the throng of I'M
happy mortals, whose feet are dangling
from the windows of rather uncomfort-
able quarters.
On Sunday evening the college was
flooded with streams of melody from
the orchestra under the mastery direc-
ton Of Professor Petersen. The Irish
melodies were rendered with a finish
and perfection that would have delight
ed even Moore himself. This years or
chestra promises 10 be the best that
has ever dispensed music in the col
lege. Respectable critics pronounce it
better even now than the one which,
at the close of last year, charmed the
eXquisitely refined and highly cultured
ears of the Butte and Anaconda 400.
Speculation is rife as to where the

Rev. Father Dubois, Professor Ped

credit for the progress made by the
second brass band which is under his
immediate direction. The worst in the
aggregation is certainly better than the
