COLBY COLLEGE
The Sophomore Publication No
Longer ANONYMOUS
Clean up Week
PROF. LIBBY SPEAKS ON
MOTHERS DAY

A meeting Of the Sophmore class was
held Thursday morning and discussion
took place regarding the "Wallop." The
Druids. the Junior honorary society,
passed resolutions to the erect that
they would do all in their power to stop
this sheet. Several changes however
will be made in this years publication
and while it is believed it will still
serve it's purpose as it has done in years
past, vet the work will be done in a
cleaner and more creditable manner
than before.
This year the editors Of the paper
will be given out publically. The type
Of material printed will be Of different
nature. for while the victims will doubt
less have plenty of sarcasm and fun
poked at them through the columns Of
this sheet, yet it will be of a purely
sportsmanlike sort. Last year the Sem
iors were voted immune from violence
in these columns, but as yet no step
has been taken in this direction, yet
it is thought that the Freshmen will be
the target of the remarks made by their
ever persistent Sophomore friends
"Clean Up Week" is certainly being
observed at the college this week. Aside
from the general spring cleaning which
is now in session, the coming Of the
! 40 odd guests from the various high and
prepa ratory schools of Maine and New
Hampshire, to speak in the Lyford Con-
test on Friday, have necessitated great
deal Of preparation on the part Of the
boys. Professor Libbey at the chapel ex-
ercises gave an interesting and eloquent
talk on cleaning up the rooms and
buildings, bringing into the subject the
approach of Mothers Day, to be OBJ
served on Sunday, May 14th, and call
ing the attention Of the boys to make
their abodes look like the ones at home,
| and that the thoughts of their mothers
should produce in them this spirit and
zeal of cleanliness and holiness which
should be manifest in their college home
and surroundings.
Arthur Bickford, Albert O'Neil and
Frank Foster were busy men Thursday
in making detailed preparations for the
coming of the Lyford speakers Owing tc
the track meet at Brunswick on Saturday
no special program has been arranged
for the entertainment of the guests, but
| during their stay they will be put up a,
the fraternity houses and each fraterni
ty will do its utmost in its way.

ton was held Thursday evening in tn,
