Karl Mcdonald of Belfast, r. f., played

The Junior spread in the gym, held after
| the game, was great success and despite
| the defeat of the afternoon was not in the
least 'ssolemn occasion" The speeches
were happy mixture of fact and fun, and

his best. Among the speakers were Prof.
j. b. Segall, Prof. II. NJ. Esterbrooke, A.
l. Glover, \. w. Totman, president OF the
Junior class, A. J. Butterworth, preside OF

tain of the track team, G. E. Hayward, man
ager of the base ball team.
A band concert on the green in front Of
Alumni Hall Immediately followed the
spread, and the chapel chairs arranged in
groups around the center of action held the
numerous pleased listeners to what is agreed
to be one of the best bands in the State
group of young men in which former Bel
faster was, as usual, a leading spirit, made
things lively by their manpuvres, and by
cheering everybody who was in sight and
some who were not.
| Thursday morning numerous visitors and
some of the student body turned out to wit
ness the special drill Of the cadet battalion.
Everyone felt amply repaid for the trouble
taken as the "Old Guard" made its annual
appearance and there were several other
events which had not been previously
scheduled.
In the afternoon the game with the Mas
sachusetts "Aggies'' was the special fea-
ture, and while Maine was scoring her first
baseball victory of the season on the home
grounds the class of 1909, or at least the
part of that class which was successful in
making its escape, was speeding Belfast
ward with results chronicled in another
column. The game was played in a steady
drizzle of rain, interrupted only by heavy
showers, but rip Hall, the Freshman
pitcher, didn't mind that bit, and the bell
in Wingate Hall tower and the whistle over
at the shop changed and footed just as loud
| ly at the finish as if everybody was not
| shivering homeward under wraps and rain
coats. Open house at the fraternities was
scheduled for that evening, and despite the
mud and dampnesS number of visitors
made the rounds of the houses, which had
been prepared for inspection, stopping for
a dance or rapid survey of the studies as
they progressed. Friday morning the
chapel was crowded with visitors, all of
whom enjoyed the exercises and the addi-
tional pleasure of listening to cello trio
given by A. w. Sprague, '05, J. b. Maxwell,
Law, '09, and Prof. Max Lentz. Reports were
also given by Prof. Il. K. Jones, who at
| tended the Portland committee meeting
and by Rev. j. W. Brockie, '06, the student
|
up various contradictory statements made
by some of those present, and refuted some
arguments put forth in an able manner.
Mr. Brockie spoke Of the personal side of
the affair. Both gentlemen spoke in high
est praise of the mastery speech of Presi-
dent Fellows and both speakers were cheer
ed to the echo
Friday evening came the crowning event
of the week-the Junior Prom. All day the
Juniors had been busy in the chapel and
and GYM with bunting, draperies and pill
lows, and their efforts had entirely trans
formed the two places. Cozy corners,
heaped high with pillows, had been arrang-
ed, while comfortable resting places had
been made at intervals about the room.
The reception committee, which consisted
of Hon. and Mrs. William T. Haines, Pres
ident and Mrs. George E. Fellows and Ar
mold W. TOtman, stood under a canopy ar
ranged by draperies directly opposite the
main chapel entrance. The dance orders
were especially attractive, being booklets
with a black cover on which was medal
lion bearing reproduction in colors of a
