Colby students held a rousing celebra-
ton in the evening. About $50 the
men gathered at the chapel at the call
of the college band and from there

songs and cheering Justify. The Presi-
dent, in his usual brief manner, stated
how glad he was to see the students,
and how he hoped for success in the
coming game. The students then
marched down to the square, doing
the snake dance in the midst of
muddy road, singing Phi Chi and Al
mer Mater all the way. In front of the
Opera House Cheer Leader Nardini
led the fellows in singing the remand
er of the songs and cheering each
member of the team individually.

tie Mascot Herring. DR.. Parmenter

upon, then the line started up, College
Avenue to Foss Hall and heard more
words of congratulations from Dean

fell, the whole bridge went down with
a roar. and a cloud of dust that could
be seen for a long ways. Luckily, no
one was in it at the time. although q
man passed over just before the bridge
went cut. A green spruce bridge was
built to replace it, but this sagged
considerably and much repairing was
needed.
