$50 for the poor ath-
letic fund. This will go for equip
ment and to defray the running ex-
penses of the various teams. IL was
a success in that everyone enjoyed
the companionship of their fellow
workers at such an informal affair,
The luncheon certainly demonstrated
the enormous capacities of a group
Of hard laboring young men and wo-
men.
After the would-be- diner had
fought the angry mob in the bread
line and had managed to make it
known with some difficulty what he
wanted, lone of them, and two OF
them there, and one of these here
pickles. and had managed to get an
extra spoonful of sugar in his coffee,
he made his way to some quiet Sc
cluded spot and sat himself down To
eat his baked beans and sandwiches
and to drink his coffee. Hiding his
cup and silver where those who had
TO clean up would be sure not to find
them, he next awaited his turn at the
ice cream table. This, of course, was
the last course on the menu.
The luncheon over, the more fan
tastic of the students INDUCED in a
little after-dinner dancing.
The noteworthy feature of the
whole affair was the disappearance of
the food. Dishpan after dshpan,
heavily laden with sandwiches and
other eatables traversed the perilous
course from kitchen to gym, only to
be returned empty in an incredibly
short time. Miss Kempf and her fac
ulty helpers must be credited with
providing plenty, tho.

ably, the president Of the Atsi IT,

his sentiments. The yellmaster and
Mr.. Barnhart were also called on.
Resenting the charge that they
were wasting their time studying Il
dead language, Of no earthly use to-
day, Miss Benton's Freshman Latin
class set about to vindicate them
selves and to prove TO their accusers
that they had, to the contrary, ex-
hibited rather rare judgment in elect
ing the subject. As first step in
their case, they have already brought
to class advertisements Of about %
articles having Latin names. They
also present surprising list Of Latin
derivatives in constant use in our
own language today.
Friday evening Professor Notes
TEN, of the college, delivered an ex-
tremely interesting illustrated lee
ture on Comets" at the high school.
His talk was primarily of interest to
Mrs. Rogers science classes, but
many other students took advantage
