Freshman Fr0Iics
The social activities of the freshmen
began early in the fall with an invita-
ton from the juniors to picnic with
them at THE Rocks" A "weenie"
and marshmallow roast were the
main features of an evening spent So
enjoyably that even the rain, which
turned into a downpour before we
reached home, failed to dampen our
spirits.
Later in the semester, the freshmen

Each member was detailed to some
committee, which planned one surprise
for the others during the evening.
Some of our esteemed friends in the
senior and sophomore classes provided
one surprise which was not on the
program, but which did much to make
the event memorable one.
Recently we INDUCED in the popular
pastime of sleigh-riding, followed by
games and taffy pull at the home of
Odetta Castle Toward the close of
the evening, when all the candy plates
were empty, the cook inquired "Is
there anyone who did not get enough
to eat?' mo-" was the unanimous re-
ply, and one young gentleman added,
Il ate whole batch and | don't feel
very good" from which we judge that
this party, too was a success.
Last Friday the class undertook to
return the hospitality of the juniors.
and included the faculty in the invita-
ton. During a part of the evening
the guests were entertained by movies
of an unusually high order, and special
mention should also be made of the
faculty stunt which was received with
much enthusiasm. In order to COM
bine business with pleasure, the
monthly exams were given on this oc-
casion also, and we are pleased to
be able to state that everyone passed
with high grades. We understand that
a petition is to be presented to the
faculty by the juniors, recommending
that all tests in the future shall be
conducted in a similar manner

LIE Cercle Sans Souci was organized
last year and still holds it's social
meetings every two weeks. Some time
ago the club subscribed to French
periodical, but has had some difficulty
in securing copies. However we are
hoping to do a little reading of French
plays in the near future, and if suffic-
iently urged may put one on for the
benefit of the public.

Who's always ready and gives 'em no

G Stands for Curt the athlete at

He treats EN- rough and always keeps

You tell 'em for me, Mud sure does

If you tell 'em they're beat
They'll sure start to rave.

Latin Glasses

The Latin classes have arranged a
monthly contest. They have chosen
sides and the side which makes the
highest average enjoys some form of
entertainment at the expense of the
losers. The first time we made fudge,
the second time went coasting and had
sandwiches and cocoa afterward. Both
times one side has done the enter
tanning. However, the other side is
ahead this month by small fraction
and we are waiting to see what it will

the Columbia, and thence to the Pa

Fred Stoos-The seniors and juniors
have been almost unable to pursue
their studies recently on account of
being disturbed by Fred Stoos raving
and tearing his hair in the effort to
grind out a suitable editorial. He
should remember it took Gray sixteen
years to write 'Elegy in a Country
Churchyard."

Laugh and Rive

There's music in the air
When Miss Shenk begins to play,
And plaintive sharps and flats
Can be heard for miles away.
CHORUS
Many a Jews harp's jazzy strain
Cannot penetrate the brain;
Even cowbells can't compare
With that music in the air.
There's music in the air
From the hour of twelve to one,
And of all the wondrous joy
When Miss Shenk down stairs has
gone.
And we bless the joy serene
And think of what might have been
If the player still sat there
And put music in the air.

Junior Freshman Party.
The usual Junior-F Freshman "get-to-
gether and get-acquainted" party was
in the form of an outdoor picnic at the
rocks one Friday evening late in Sep
TENDER. Both classes were well rep
resented. The leafs" committee soon
had supper in the making that would
tempt anyone.
After supper all had jolly time in
playing games until-well it began to
rain. We fastened home but being
weary of body heavy rain overlook
some of us before we reached there.
But what matters that? We all felt
better for the outing.
Mother Goose Party.
Late in November the junior girls
entertained the boys at a Mother Goose
or kid" party in the gym. The en-
tire class came dressed as "six-year-
Odds" Nursery games were played
and later the leafs" committee served
a delicious lunch After lunch more
games were played until-well this
was a time when faculty rules were
Just little in the way. The boys
receiving compliments as being the
dearest little fellows" were Bobbie
and Am.
Junior-SeniOr Game.
The gym was crowded. On one side
waved purple and gold representing
the Juniors, on the other green and
gold which proclaimed a bunch of our
opponents.
The seniors were on the floor, tall,
strong, athletic fellows; passing,
throwing and shooting baskets with
astonishing ease.
The junior boosters sized up the
men and tense whispers passed-"W We
must win"-"Their center is bigger
than ours" etc
The junior men entered and great
cheers went up for them.
The first half ended with the juniors
nine points in the lead-but-a
the beginning of the second half the
seniors put more pep" and fight
into the game and began to gain on
us, bringing the score to 1914. But
we gained-and
All the whistle.
Our men, disheaveled but victorious
gave the customary yell for their OPP
ponents and rushed for the dressing
room.
Score: Juniors, 25; seniors, II
A sleigh ride is being planned for

With such good start there is no
end of good times in store for us, and

Prom.
The junior class gave their annual
Prom" Saturday evening, February
l5 The hall was beautifully decorated
for this occasion. A border was made
of cedar and spruce while igloos were
constructed for the use of the orches-
ira and the refreshment stand. The
Grand March started at o'clock and
as the couples separated at the stage,
the ladies were presented with balloons
as favors by little Miss Callahan
and the gentlement were given pro-
grams by Master Douglas Palmer.
The dance was under the direction of
Miss Ethel Bracken, class advisor, and
was pronounced by all who attended
as the best dance ever given under the
auspices of the high school.

Stamina and Endurance Also Needed for Consuming Simple Little
 Dinner" in Roumania.

An interesting personal experience was an invitation to dinner with a real Roumanian family Gin Bucha- rest). What seemed to me a count less array of dishes containing most deIeetable dalnties was arranged on a sideboard in the apartment where we were received.
 First came paStrama, small pieces of mutton grilled with zuika, a kind of native rum. This pastrama has a marvellous flavor. But a person eat ing 1t for, the first time cannot swal- low 1t. He chews it and chews 1t like a piece of American gum, first in one cheek and then in the other, without knowing what to do with it. It is an embarrassing situation, because the pastrama is served in the reception room and you are expected to talk while you are eating it. received my portion in an unguarded moment while cOnVersing with an enchanting girl in a pOmpadOur. Then we went into the dining room.
 One course followed the other. One eats-at first in an inqulring spirit. because the dishes are all novel. and later because he likes his foOd-fOr three or four hours. At the conclusion, the hostess apologies for the simple fare, explaining that the occasion is intended merely to be an informal. in- innate little dinner affording an op- pOrtunity to discuss music and other immaterial things with the artist Leo Slezak. formerly of Royal Opera Company of Vienna.

This Old Earth.

Abbe Theodore Moreaux, director of the observatory of Bourges, in an ar ticle in La Revue de Ciel, declares the world to be five hundred million years old, instead of fifty million, the opinion of other astronomers. Abbe MOreaux also thinks that man existed for tens of thousands of years instead of six thousand based on figures in the Bible. He says the belief of German scientists that human beings have existed for four hundred thousand years has no basis in fact. The Bibles six thousand years are an invention of the transla- tors and cOpyists, Life. Abbe Moreaux says, has existed on the earth for at least two hundred and forty to tive hundred and sixty million years. al. though it has not been human life. He says the moon was not once part of the earth, but was a sun that once aid ed in warming the earth.

The Seven Seas in Italy.

The Seven seas (Septem Maria) are extensive lagoons of salt water in northern Italy, generally separated from the Adriatic by narrow strips of sand or embankments. partly nat. ural and partly artificial, but having openings which admit the influx and eff1ux of the sea water, and serve as ports for communication with the mainland. The best known and the most extensive of these lagoOns is that in which Venice is situated. which extends from TOrcellO in the north to ChiOggia and BrondOlo in the south. a distance of over forty miles.
