SPRING MEET
Under the Auspices Of The Sauior
and Junior Athletic Assn
st. Charles College, Grand Coteau,
Apr! 2Sth, 1901.

ST. Charles College was en- fete,
on Sunday last when some three
to four hundred persons gathered
on the College Campus to witness
the annual Spring Games of the
Student.
The weather was ideal and the
grounds'superb. The rich green of
the neatly trimmed grass, dotted
with hundreds of flags and sprinkl-
ed with students in their light
costumes found a pleasant back
ground in the beautiful holiday
attire of the ladies and the sombre
dress of the gentlemen. Above all
rose old Alma Mater looking down
with PLACID counteance upon the
brilliant scene
At $50 o'clock the games com
menced and for full four hours was
the interest of both spectators
students kept up. No little praise
is due to the judges, Messrs E. V.
Barry T. Mouton, and Nj. Barry,
for their definite and timely decis-
sions. These went far towards
keeping up the spirit and dash of
the boys. Mr.. n. Niche, as starter
gave full satisfaction, there berg
not a single instance in which a
contestant started ahead of time.
The clearringing tone of Mr.. A
Barry, as announce and scorer, Ell
abled al. tt tOllow each succeeding
event and learning its resul after
it had taken in place.
The prettiest event, by far, of
the evening was the lloyd dash of
the Juniors. In this Masters j.
Sibille and V. Colomb ran a tie,
each running his heat and making
the distance in the same time. In
the final heat Master j. Sibille
won by 10 inches.
Among the contestants, special
mention must be made of Captain
Silvio Gonsoulin, the son of Mr..
Adrien G%onsoulin, of Loreauville
La, Masters. G.. Dugas, and Il
! Dugas, with Master r. Barry and
J. Sibille, whose sprlghtly% running
and jumping were the features o
the evening.
After the events Rev. FIR. Presi
dent congratulated the boys on tn
excellent showing they had jus
made and the beautiful spirit tina
reigned in their midst during til
practices. He then distributed tn
various medals and prizes, whe.
all departed leaving the 2Sth, o
