W. L. l.-f early Event to be
Big Affair
Plans for the Seventh Annual Ath-
letic Carnival of NJ. C. /. are nearly
complete and season tickets will soon
be placed on sale.
The carnival was originated back
in 1915 by Coach Ray Shepard now
track director at Andover. Since
that first carnival the event mas been
one Of the real times Of the school
year at Maine Central Institute.
This year an endeavor will be
made not for a bigger carnival but
for a better one than any that has

track events which have formerly
had place on the program will be
dropped and will be replaced by
other features which II is expected
will be more interesting and anus
ing.
The program as arranged will
open Friday night, March 18th with
the appearance of three really ex-

soloist and cornetist of great ability

land is the manager of the Bates
College musical clubs, and is a SOLO
list at the Main street Baptist church
IN Lewiston. Coming with him are
two prominent members of the
Bates clubs, Carl Rounds of Lewis
ton and Maynard Moulton of An
burn. Mr. Rounds is a reader with
manner of his own, and his work
alone would insure success to any
program. Maynard Moulton is by
no means stranger in TINS vicinity,
having often played in orchestras
about Pittsfield. These men are
also we'll known in Maine intercolle-
giate athletics, Ireland as member
of championship tennis teams;
Rounds as quarterback on last sea-
sons football team, and a member
OF the crack Bates hockey team this
winter and Moulton as halfback on

urday and assist in the athletic
events of the carnival.

classes will be represented in a grand
parade of horribles. In the after
noon many of the track events will
be run off and those who have never
seen walking race will do we'll to
be on hand for this contest never
fails to draw more laughter than
Charlie Chaplin at his best.

conduct booth decorated to repre-
sent different sections of the coun-
try.
Saturday the finals In the track
meet will be run off and as the last
