COLLEGE NOTES.
Freshmen Hold Their Banquet Without
Disturbance-Other Items.


Disturbance-Other Items.
The freshman banquet has finally been
pulled through and without any serious
accident. Monday afternoon the fresh
men we're excused from class by
Prof. Sanford. They quickly secured
wraps and started for Vergennes by
team. The sophomores were informed
of the deed about o'clock and they
quietly followed after the freshies. The
latter, however, had a good start and
were safely placed in the Stevens House
before the arrival of the sophs. A num-
Der of upper classmen arrived on the flyer
to see fair play-and incidentally
scrap. But there was nothing doing, as
the proprietor of the hotel had the entire
police force lined up in fl ont of the fresh
men, and the sophs were frightened.
The freshios were safely conducted to the
dining hall and partook of bounteous
dinner. Later Toastmaster Clark }.
Wilson called the room TO order, and the
following toasts were responded to:
1.-THE Banquet" Samuel L. Abbot "The
Freshmen" Edward II. Peck; "The
Faculty." Elizabeth H. Deuel.; "The
Little College Among the Mountains"
Bessie B. Freeto; poem, Chester B.
Clapp; "The Juniors" Frances II. War
ren "Class Spirit" Sanford II. Lane !;
prophecy, Lora P. Stickney. The class
returned home by moonlight, and
although the ride was cold one, sit was
pleasant. The committee, consisting of
Charles b. Wild, Harry S. Fisher, and
Sanford II. Lane, are to be congratulated
upon their successful management of
this important affair. The sophs cir
culated "Naughty-fve Bedlam' during
the night--a green paper containing hits
on the freshmen.
The old chapel bell took an excursion
late last Thursday night. The next

spent no one knows.
