school was greeted by the Annual
board.
Leslie Glanville was the first to ad-
dress the students He told the audi
ence what an Annual should really
be. In brief he said that:
First-It should serve.
Second-It should be loyal.
Third-It should have plenty of en-
thusiasm.
Fourth-It should be original.
His address was very good and was
delivered in splendid style.
George Matkin was the second
speaker of the occasion. He dwelt
upon what we expect from our an
nual. He spoke generally upon three
Eubjects = cooperation, organization
and practicability. His address was
concise. 1t was appreciated by all.
The following persons have been
appointed as special editors for the
annual: Ruth Johnston, art editor;
Helen McKinnon and PhQ will4n.
joke editors; Margaret Evans, class
editor; VIM. Kennedy, calendar ed
itor.
The expense of publishing an annual
usually exceeds the receipts. In order
to defray part OF the expense it was
announced that play was in forma-
ton to raise at least $50.
The chapel period was closed with
few school songs and yelis. with
Frank McEniry as yell master.
The school has had published a
pamphlet containing all the school
songs and yells which could be gath
cred, seventeen In number. II was a
good idea to have these published and
they are certainly welcome to the
school.
BOOM.
The school is looking forward to
the annual boom. in which all classes
will participate. The plans are max
ing rapid progress. although there has
been some difficulty in determining a
proper date. Prof. Lauterbach and
the other members Of the faculty an
nounce that they will be glad TO con-
slider all suggestions that will be given
them. The boom viii no doubt be the
biggest event In the year and should
receive our heartiest support.
TENNIS.
The girls tennis tournament started
Monday with a rush. The sets viii
be played on as soon as possible.
From $3.50 to $3.50 the courts will be

ARMoRY BALL.
The seniors won the tournament
Monday, when they defeated the fresh
men. The freshmen made a glorious
attempt to prevent the seniors from
winning, but failed miserably. The
freshmen should be. however. praised
for their untiring Efforts. even though
they failed. All the classes proved
good losers. although the sophomores
firmly believe that they possess a
superior team.
