The Senior boys entertained the
Senior girls Thursday evening at Z 80
at the high school, The girls arrived
on time and were taken down to the
d. A. room and told to play games
until the boys were ready for them.
Soon they were summoned to the
chapel, where the boys dressed as
girls, put on stunt. They were
certainly enjoyed too, judging by the
laughter from the audience. Then all
returner to the d. A. room and held a
track meet and many other things.
Then the eats came, and while ac-
cidents did happen, as they always
win everything was enjoyed. The
girls all agree that they would have
to do something very original to give
as nice a party as the boys had.

Paris, Jan. rs, 4 p. m.-The peace
conference opened formally at 3
o'clock this afternoon with a speech
by President Poinciare OF France
He thanked the allied nations for
having chosen Paris for their Inn
portant work and praised the valor OF
the allied armies which preserved the
capital of France. He said the dele
gates were invested with full author
Ity to establish peace and justice be-
cause none OF the people which they
represent have had any part In In
Justice and added that all humanity
can safely place confidence In them
because they have not outraged hui
manity. cIemenceau also spoke and
no other speeches were made.
Paris, Jan. 1S.-All the peace dele
gates held their final meetings before

this afternoon. The American dele
CATION met at 10 o'clock but Presi-
dent Wilson did not attend. All pre-
parations had been completed early
today for holding the first formal ses-
sion Of the congress.
Prospects for making rapid pro
Rress with its work seem enhanced
by the apparent defeat Of the Boil
sheviki In Germany which opens the
way to staballzing the government
ana by the prospect Of its being able
to send responsible representatives to
the conference The peace congress
is expected to devote itself single
mindedly to the creation of league
OF nations. The first steps toward
the formation of a league were I'M
derstood to have been taken today,
1t was decided to admit press rep
resentatives to meet the full con
ference, but upon necessary occasions
sessions may be held in camera. !"
In other words, the correspondents
may he there for the speeches, but
when the real business is to be done,
the conference can go into closed
session and correspondents must i'm
mediately depart.

A Letter from "Longy."

Dear Mr.. Wheeler: l have about
thirty minutes before the lights go
out so l will drop you line. You'll
have to promise to answer 1t though.
I've been busy good many times
in my life but not like have been the
last two weeks. We left Ft. Sheri-
dan, December 14th, and landed in
Camp Merritt the 10th. They let us
off at Niagara Falls, they did not have
much order after they got down to
the falls Every one wanted to go
down to the bottom, when we came
up we looked like a bunch of drown
ed rats. We only stayed at Merritt
a week, then we were moved over
here. Camp Merritt was fine place
but this is more a mud hole than a
camp. 1t rains about three days out
of every week. They have just start
ed to build the camp up. 1t was old
tents before. If they ever get 1t fixed
up it ought to be nice place.
/ was assigned to a three ton Liber
ty truck the second day l was here
and have been trying to get 1t around
camp ever since. / have put up a
pretty good stall so far. Driving a
thee ton army truck isn't anything
like studying English or French We
work about twelve hours a day and
seven days week. We spend most
Of our time waiting for somebody to-
load and unload our trucks, so our
work is not as hard as 1t sounds.
The only real labor is keeping our
engines clean. Our engines and un-
derneath the hood must be free froIf
grease and dirt. They have inspec-
tion every Sunday morning. | haven't
stood inspection yet because l have
worked every Sunday, but I'll get a
months X. r. If l ever do have to
stand 1t, my turn came this week and
and l have spent two days of 1t.
The only thing l hate about it is
that l didn't get to do anything
against army regulations to get in
the kitchen. They just wrote my
name and l am there. They put us
on for week at time so maybe
won't have to go on again for two
or three months.
read the Booster in last Fridays

swell but 1t didn't have anything on
our Christmas dinner. We get fed
like kings up here. When they fix it

dishes. the army won't be such n bad
place to spend a week or two in.

atoms, they wish to express their

Cadet Drill on a Rainy Day.

with apologies to Longfellow)
The day is cold, and dark, and
dreary;
But the captains voice is never
weary;
The snow still clings to the muddy
street,
And at every step get wet feet
And the day is dark and dreary.
My feet are cold, and wet, and
muddy;
But the captain says, "Step up there,
Buddy"
My thoughts still cling to the warn
ing blast,
But buck private's hopes fall thick In
the blast
And the day is dark and dreary.
Be still, sad private, and cease re-
pining;
Behind the door is the fire still shin
ing;
Thy fate is the common fate Of all,
Into each shoe some water must fall
Some feet must be wet and muddy.
