IT took Harvard about five minutes TO get go

scored from a scrimmage, and afterward the
goals came so fast it was hard TO keep track
OF them. Pell and Hicks scored almost at WILL

latter worked heroicaIly and Murphy made
many beautiful stops, and had il not been for

 our young people attended the play at Palmer, "Just Out of Harvard F. J. Glover transported them to Mon. son, where they boarded the trolley for Palmer, arriving at the opera house just in time for the perform ance. The party thoroughly enjoyed the trip to and from Monson. and al- though the play was worth going to see, it was unanimously voted that the drive was the best part of the evenings entertainment. The waits between the acta becoming tiresome, one of the party impersonated the banana man, and the entire party were supplied with she fruit, which was appreciated. During the per- formance the hilarity of one of the good deacons reached such a point that the ushers found it necessary to call him to order several times. and it doubtless would have gone hard with him had his friends not been on hand to pour oil on the troubled waters. A rather amusing incident occurred on the return trip. As it was quite late the party from Stafford Hollow were feeling just a trifie hollow, when, fortunately for them, the welcome lights of a lunch cart appeared in the distance. Both the commodore and admiral being aboard, it was only few minutes before the sandwich van was attached to the bus, and for five miles the happy sandwich man was kept busy making sandwiches for the hungry party.
