BACK TO SCHOOL DAYS.
Cood SmarI BiII at Colonial Thealre.

Back TO the good old school days of
your youth when you had such a rip
roring good time at the expense of the
poor teacher, such tricks as you played
on her and on your little playmates,
then those days so dear to memory, the
real warm days you just couldn't help
playing hooky. Remember that last
Tuesday we got the bunch together
and hiked it to Spa creek to the rail
road bridge and gee what a glorious
swim we had, never did the water feei
warmer and even the birds sang more
happily that afternoon. Gee that was
some swell time. But remember the
next day when the teacher found out,
and | got such licking, it seems if l
can feel that hickory switch yet, but
enough of this, it is getting too per-
sonal for me, so | will just say that
you must see the School Day act at the
Colonial tonight and it will bring back
all those old memories so dear to US.
Robb and Robertson and their capable
little company. mostly girls, will pres
ent one of the brightest, smartest,
iolliest farce comedies of the season.
A laughing hit and one of the best
bills you have seen at the prices, 10
cents, the same as always on vaude-
vile.

DIGNITY" At MIDDIES HOP.
No SembIance Of Turkey Trot or 0iher
Modern Dances Saturday Night,
Saw Officials.

.verv Dipnitied' was the hop given
bv the midshipmen in the gymnasium
81 the Naval Academy Saturday
night. That was the opinion express
ed BY an officer on duty at the lnsli-
tuition when asked today whether the
regulations were strictly observed by
the young gallants and their lair
partners.
Only recently. it viii be recalled,
an order came forth from the discl-
pline department that placed the ban
on the Turkey Trot, Tango,
BUNNY Hug, and others OF the mod
er dances, and there were other re-
strictions. And as the dance Satur-
dav night was the first since the issu-
ance Of the edict, there was interest
in some quarters as to how the Mid
dies woaId observe the rules, and
whether any would be caught violat-
ing.
Several of the discipline officers
attended the dance, and they were as
ratchful as ever over the conduct OF
the students. But there was no at
tempt to indulge in the movements Of
the "Grizzly Bear, nor any OF the
Their modern dances mentioned. At
least It was so stated officially this
morning.
1t had been reported that a first
class midshipman was stationed at
vantage point in the gallery to wat ch
the dancers and report any offenders.
This, too, was officially denied AT
anv rate, il is said that the Middies
and the fair sex had lots of fun JOSH
ing each other over the new rules
that requires the students to main
tain a position of at least three inches
from his partner, and to hold the left
arm out straight.
1t was found quite tiresome to some,
but the regulations will be enforced
at all odds.
