cerned. In the afternoon the Freshmen
entered into the spirit Of the occasion
and turned out TO the Rough and
Tumble" affair. Miss Parthurst and
Sara Roe wore In charge Of the events
and started the meet off with n relay.
Following this race there was n wand
tug OF war I'm which both sides seemed
Ito be very evenly matched. The next
event was an obstacle relay. the most
lamuslng thing Of the afternoon. Two
teams were chosen and each placed
i'm line before balance beam. and
then each contestant was presented
with an umbrella. and suitcase con-
tanning n sweater and cap. The idea
was for the first girl in line to run
| until she came to the beam, stop long
enough TO don sweater and cap. and
raise umbrella and then cross the
beam. Then she would remove sweat
or and cap, close umbrella, and return
| by way of the beam to her place in
line, and give the articles to the girl
behind her. Each girl followed the
same course. and tried 10 make her
team be winner The last event was
a baseball game which was very ex-
citing.
