Wednesday it was especially interest
ing and was intensely exciting
throughout. but roughness seemed to
be the main object. This was es-
haired boy from Shelby, and the child
with the light blue eyes. In the first
half the referee attempted to stop the
rough playing by calling fouls, but
half gaze up the attempt TO eliminate
that feature as it interested the spec
tators. The Seniors came out vic
torious with banners dying.
The closing of the fall term, also
witnessed the expiration of the term
of office of the Y. M. G. a. officers,
and at q recent business meeting of
the association new officers were
elected for the ensuing year The old

work has been lacking in endeaVoring
to have this years Annual far sur

| Dr. Cook, feel assured that the An
/ nual will be one well worth the pat
ronage of every one Interested in the

new and interesting features and pre-
sents a true reflection of the college
! life.
One of the aggregations in the col
| lege Of which we are very proud and
which is rapidly approaching the ar
! tistic standpoint, is the college Glee
| club and orchestra. Prof. Eatman,
who leads the band and instructs the
| Individual players, deserves great
! deal of credit when one considers the
| efforts he has to put forth to mould
what you might term raw recruits
| into blass instrument players. Evident
| ly Mr. Eatman does not believe in the
adage There are times when patience
/ ceases to be Il virtue" for he takes
everything with the best of good ma
ture from the cornet to the cymbol
player. The entertainment which will
be given anniversary will be the best
they have yet presented.
