fore going home, while others have

the students who came to ELLSWORTH
June / are returning to their MONIES
improved in health as result Oh
their stay in Ellsworth. 1t has been
a great year for the children ana
wives of the married men of the sum-
mer school. On the whole, the 1922
session proved successful. This Is
the first year that the thirteen
weeks plan was put into effect, and
il is the consensus of opinion among
the faculty as we'll as the student
body that the term is little too
long. Prof. Bellatty has watched the
experiment with interest, and has ue-
cided in favor of the seven-Weeks
term.
The farewell dancing party given
by the students of the summer school
at the Pine Tree pavilion last Tues
day night was a gala affair. The en-
tire student body was represented,
each student bringing with MIN an
acquaintance made during his stay IN
Ellsworth Many of the townspeople
were present, with several from out
living towns 1t was fitting rare
well dancing party, and one which
the students will long remember.
The committee, consisting Oh
Matthew Boyle, chairman, Joe
French, treasurer, Dan OConnor,
Frank O'Neil, P. X. Donohue, Harry
Patterson. Donald S. Miller, Frank
A'Hearn and William Mullen,
worked hard to make the affair a
success.
One of the things that has helped
TO keen the students in touch with
one another and to liven up the spirit
of the summer school has been The
Weekly Plunge: Through the efforts
of Prof. Bellatty, this sheet was
made possible. The contributions
were made by the students Of the
Business News Writing class, OF
which Prof Bellatty is the In
structor. 1t has been a practical
means of studying the methods OF
Journalism Every student in the
class received an opportunity OF act
ing in some official capacity on the
staff. 1t is the first time that an
organ of this nature has been fos-
tered by the summer school, and
the manner in which it has been ac-
cepted by the student body, indicates
that The Weekly Plunge will long
endure as the official organ of the
summer school.
Mrs. Assunta Luchini gave an
Italian dinner to the students last
Wednesday. The entire meal was
prepared and served by Mrs. Luchini.
1t is Just another act Of kindness
added to her many good works. The
faculty and students extend heartiest
thanks to Mrs. Luchini and her fam
lily. No wonder she is popular with
the Boston University boys.
