held last Satnr ay night in the privat;
DIN ng room of the N. w. U. refec
tory, when under the auspices of tn
new editorial staff the retiring senior
staff was rendered an informal but
highly elaborate and congenial recep
tiUn. The k md hotsess, Mrs. Kon-
niger. had provided for every edible
mortal could desire, not to forgat a
huge "Black and Red" cake, a COM
merdable piece of art in itself. The
banquet room Was elabortaely decor
ated with black and red bunting, the
walls were literally covered with
college pennants. After the banquet
wine and cigars were served.
In accordance with the custom, E.
Berg, the new editor in chief was
unanimously appointed toastmaster
for the evening. Little did the
wo, thy assemblage suspect that this
sage member was capable of perform
ing the functions of this responsible
position in manner, that the entire
evening WAS spent in delivering highly

Three rousing ''Lebe Hochs'

clock announced late hour.
The senior retiring members pres
ent we're: S. Probst. 2 Bergman,
H 4challer and H. Koch. The new
staff members present were E. Berg,
editor-in- chief. R. Zlesemer, business
manager. i. SchH eppe, assistant busi-
ness manager M. Whyte. exchange
editor. @. Dornfeld, athletic editor,
H. Schro der, editor of college nutes.
A. Werner, campus and class roUn.
P. Fruehike, local editor, E Frye,
editor of De Rebus Omnibus. With
these editors there is every possibility
that the high standard of the "Black
and Red'' will not only be retained
among its contemporaries but that
its past record will be surpassed in
every respect. Each editor is not
only capable. but also lacks neither
energy nor interest A great amount
of success, at least financially, in
this instance of the utmost impor-
tance, is due the loyalty and liberal
,ty of the Watertown business men.
In spite of the fact that the price of
advertising VS. raised. the advertis-
ing space has increa ed instead of de-
creased. 1t is only duesto their as
sistnce that the college paper can he
published and the staff highly appre-
cistes their generosity.
Ire regular recitations at the N.

April 3, at IL AS, after a brief clos
ing service in the chapal. rhe col
lege will again bs opened on tuesday,
