Saturday evening there will be a
Washington dinner and dance in

girls viii dress in George and Martha
Washington costumes for dinner. Dur
ing the dinner, between courses,

original 1t will include singing and
dancing stunts. 1t is the intention of
the senior class to make the Wash
ington dinner a tradition at the COL
lege: the dinner. with fitting solemn
ties has been held for the past two
years, and has proved a successful
undertaking for the holiday. The IN
der classes in college have votea to
make the affair an annual calendar

sion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of having
classes on a national holiday but O..
cussion was of no avail and classes

at the college on Friday evening, Feb
rs, som $50 TO I. Plans for The hop
are well nigh completed and It is ex-
pectei that the hop viii he the most
successful social affair undertaken at

sent q novel and unusually attractive
appearance. Tsa w. is the most dis
tlnctly social affair given at the COL

following classes during the years to
come. Every corner of the campus
| is the scene of, n eussion in regal d
! to the affair. Programmes are being
made out, dances split recllIessiy and
/ eagerly, special delivery letters and
! kilograms being delivered at the COL
| lcge hourly, and talk has turned en-
| tirely upon the subject of dresses, and
prospective cavaliers. Every college
! ! nthe country has its sophomore
| dance, and has had for many years,
| but this is the first sophomore hop
! that Connecticut college has given and
consequently all college particular y
student interest is involved in the mop.
! A very noticeable fact about the
| college during the past two or three
| weeks is the remarkable number OF
| cablegrams which have been delivered
at the college. There has been no
need to explain the ca0legrams, but
there has been much excitement and
! girlish interest in their contents, and
tyniliar faces, rot seen at college
| since the first and second ante bellunl
years, are again making their appear

| turns, she finds something new and
! interesting; so many things happen
right along and there are so many
clOse friends TO have the things hap

30 get bored Tor there is always the
unexpected to happen in Que midst
and TO stir up before We settle doWr
nicely. Just as we were getting nice
