one of the needs of the college
which has long been evident was
provided for recently by the orSani-
zatien of regular dramatic club.
The movement has been on foot for
some time and is favored by students
and faculty The nucleus of the club
is the English IA class of last year
" hich studied drama under Professor
Baird and presented several plays.
The suggestion was made that club
should he formed around this group
and this year the action has been
taken. In order to qualify for mem :
bership the student must be skilled
, in one of four lines: Stage manage
ment. business management OF
dramas, composition of plays or
dramatic technique. The member

has been without a regular dramatic
club i'll the past. these interests have
not been neglected and the various
college clubs have presented many
very successful plays. The most not
able recent success was the Million

dents at the Empire theatre last

terests Of the college are in definite

pated.
Coach Wiggin is working daily with
the hurlers in the cage beneath Park
er hall. The abundance of snow pre-
vents any kind of outdoor work ana
the squad is devoting it's time to work
or the outdoor track to get into
shane. The outlook from the pitching
end is especially bright. With three
varsity hurlers of proved worth
Coach Wiggin is assured of strength
at that point. Ralph Peanut Ham

and kept in trim last summer pv
putting in a winning season with bis
home town team at Pennington, n.
H.: Clyde Martin '25 of st. Adams,
also made a game for himself last
year. With a world of speed and
twisters he will be a main stay this
year. Ralph Hap" Price '25 of Dali

team of last fall and mentioned by
many for the all Maine berth is ex-
pected to be strong man this year.
Last year trouble with his arm kept
him out most of the season and at
fected his playing. This year the arm
is in good condition and Hap is out
for a reputation in baseball as we'll
as football. No Freshman twirler of
importance have been discovered but
the old squad of second string hurl-
ers is right there. William Fellows
