COLBY COLLEGE

The members of the Delta Epsilon fra
ternity held a very pleasant outing on
Memorial day lin the form Of a sort OF
picnic and clam bake. Leaving the city
in the morning on a special car, they
went to Oakland, where a launch had
been chartered, and went down the lake,
landing near North Belgrade. Here the
day was spent in playing baseball and
enjoying the water sports, while at noon
a barrel of clans with all the "fxings"
we're served in true picnic fashion. The
boys, with several alumni. returned to
the city in the early evening after a
most successful day. This is the second
event of it's kind and the continued sue
cess promises an annual affair of the fra
ternity outing.
According to the custom observed for
a long time. the members OF the senior
class attended classes on Wednesday, the
first Gay of June, garbed in the academic
cap and gown, thereby distinguishing
themselves from the undergraduates and
demanding some recognition during their
last few weeks here at the college. In
this habit, however, only the girls re-
sponded, the men not yet making their
appearance with the traditional robe.
President Roberts Thursday announced
the men who had been chosen from the
preliminary speaking contest of fresh
man reading held Wednesday afternoon
as follows: Harry r. Bourne of Allston.
Mass, Chester Ashworth of Houlton, Me-,
Isaac D. Love of Homecoming, Md, Robert
T. Carey of Islesboro, Frederick D.
Blanchard of Sherborn, Mass, and Earle
S. Tyler of Harrington, Me.
Friday morning after chapel the COM
bined musical clubs will hold a short
meeting to elect a nominating committee
for the posting of a slate Of officers for
the next year. 1t is advisable to elect
the manager at this early date so that he
may make plans during the summer for
his schedule, which is steadily growing
each year. and requires a great deal Of
time and energy to bring it about in first
class shape.
Another election of interest Is booked
for Wednesday afternoon. June 7, when
the Oracle board of 1876 will meet in
Chemical hall and there consider cleo
tons for the following year. Positions
as editor of this college year book are
regarded with envy and the elections are
of the closest and most contended sort.
The present board will nominate the new
aspirants and then there will be a general
election by the whole association which.
according to the constitution, consists of
practically every student in the college,
fraternity men anyway. so that this cleo
ton resembles that of the athletic asso-
citation.

Street Commissioner Estey had the
drags out early Thursday morning and all
the streets of the city were given a good
going-over during the day and smoothed
up and made ready for the next rain
The roads were not as badly damaged by
the recent downpour as was at first fear
ed and it will not be necessary to do a
great deal of heavy work to put them
back in place. A number Of the culverts
which have been in bad shape have been
rebuilt and put into as good condition as
possible. The tractor is being used for
the heavy work and is proving very
profitable investment for the city.
