Class of 1911 Makes Merry at the
Arlington Hotel-Fun Chief
Feature.

Persons IN the neighborhood of the Ar
lington Hotel last night may have thought
that alI the noise in the world had beer
corralled in the banquet hall. Loud cheers
and rafting songs broke outward from
every open window. the occasion being a
smoker given by the class Of 1911 ot
Georgetown University's Law School
The seniors. feeling the bit in their teeth
went galloping down the pathway o.
freedom. and when the numerous songs
and speeches had been concluded every
body wondered what the res gestae of the
evening had been. and started to ask for
an injunction on all smokers.
They Made Some Noise
The large crowd of near lawyers (for
10 they were termed on the program cir
culated for the benefit OF those who cared
TO read) made much noise. There Is a
thing they harbor at Georgetown called
the locomotive yell" 1t is a college
cheer built in sections. each section
bursting loose in cadences which add to-
gether TO initiate the choo-choo OF a high
power freight hauIer. That thing they
let loose after every favorable remark
concerning Georgetown University or
anything else. Even Judge Clabaugh.
dean of the law school, was not spared
and his speech was so full Of favorable
remarks that the seniors let loose a
whole roundhouse full OF locomotives.
Chairman Andrew Hickey had some
thing TO do with the program, but loco
motives drowned his efforts. He seemed
10 be introducing people. He would have
introduced Judge Daniel Thew Wright
had he been present but owing to the
O'Donoghue. Judge of the moot court,
made a speech After asking the ques-
lion, What is a toastmaSter? 2" Moot Judge
O'Donoghue was hit by locomotive yell.
and the rest Of his speech was the incen-
tive to q student riot which seemed to
please every one immensely.

And then this question was propounded:
