Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1922-07-12

Mid-term examinations, which
hover above the career of every col
lege student, descended upon the
students of the Boston University
summer school this morning For
the past three nights the streets OF
Ellsworth have been practically de-
serted of students who have taken
advantage of the cool nights to pre-
pare for their examinations.
The examinations were to have
been held yesterday, but, due to the
number of students who went to the
Bar Harbor game in the afternoon, it
was decided by the faculty to post
pone them until to-day. Final
examinations will be given in the
courses which carry with them but
thirty credit hours. These courses
are public speaking and American
literature. However, these same
courses will be offered the final term
to those who were unable to take
them in the first term because of
conflicts. The new courses offered
are municipal government, advertis-
ing, American government and adj
vanced English composition.
summer school is intensive, which
means that the courses given here
are covered in just half theTtime re-
quired in the regular college year,
the students have applied them
selves we'll, and have perhaps re-
ceived more out of their work here
than would ordinarily be the case if
they were forced to attend the sum-
mer school in Boston, where the heat
and distractions tend to slow up the
student.
w. E. Honeywell instructor in
American and municipal govern
ment, is expected in Ellsworth this
week, with Mrs. Honeywell. He will
give the above courses the final term
of the summer school He has had
considerable experience in govern
mental affairs, and students who are
registering for these subjects will
derive valuable information and in
struction in the workings of munich
pal and national governments.
The deep-sea fishing trip sched-
uled for Friday, was postponed on
account of registration and various
other duties, which served to upset
the plans. The trip, however, will
be taken July 81, and it is expected
that the entire student body will go.
Such master fishermen as Randall,
O'Neil, Qeenan and George Smith
are sure to cause plenty of competi-
ton for the fishing honors of the
school.
The Santa Maria" smooth
running vehicle commonly known as
Ford, owned and operated by
Messrs. Mulkern, Hart, Tobin and
Driscoll, carries wicked kick in her
STILL though she is in her seventh
year. Bill Hart tried to crank the
Santa a few days ago, but used
her too rough, with the result that
he is now carrying broken arm in
sling. The Santa" is certainly a
stubborn piece of tin at times.
Mulkern, Tobin and Driscoll are
now making a study of the temper
mental Santa" Bill has some con-
ISOLATION; he will not be required to
assist in the pumping and exchang-
ing Of tires.
Joe Mckenzie and John Mckay
are in great demand these days at
the various entertainments in and
about Ellsworth. Both boys sang at
the Odd Fellows dance Monday eve
ming, and at the Dirigo theatre the
same evening. At both places they
were given great hand. Besides
being excellent entertainers, they
are also great boosters of the ball
nine, and are loyal supporters of the
nine at every game.
Ion Af hN e,t,, to xx,l1
home over the Fourth spent the en-
tire week with their parents, return
ing Sunday night to Ellsworth. Bill
McGinnis is the only member of the
summer school missing, and Joe
French is going to be without his
'buddie" for the remainder of the
summer, for Bill is now connected
with the Contact Division of the
Veterans Bureau, and his school days
are at an end, Members of the sum-
mer school will miss the near mayor
of Lawrence great deal. The
burden of upholding the glory and
prestige of Lawrence now falls on
the shoulders of ST McHugh.
The Rezoob ball nine, piloted by
Thomas 'Tarzan" Lonergan, dropped
its first game of the season last Sun
day afternoon, when it was defeated
by the fast Somesville team at Wy
man park. The Rezoobs made an
impressive showing the first two in
nings, and were going along fairly
well until Dan Coffin, Manager
Lonergan's star twirler, developed a
charlie horse" and was forced to
retire from the mound. Dancing
Thayer then assumed the duties on
the slab There was no hating the
Somesville team, however, for it hit
Thayer hard during the time he was
in the box. The Rezoobs' defeat
may be attributed to the loose field
ing. The most of the runs made by
the visitors were the result of bad
throws, Miller, the Rezoob shortstop,
offending in this manner three times.
A return game will be played Sun
day.
