The first year Latin class was We

when a black and white spotted pus-
sly walked calmly into the study hall,
and marched sedately up and down
the aisles. Now there is nothing at
all funny in seeing a cat, but the
freshmen would laugh, so what could
the upper classmen do? Kitty, quite
unaware that she was causing any
amusement, completed her inspec-
ton of the room and walked slowly
and calmly out of the door.
Mrs. Schiferl says one good way to

could do was running down on punts
So they decided to hold Burley from
another score.
Burley threatened to score aagin
several times, once having the ball
about 5 yards from goal, but Oakley
held like a stone wall and got the
ball and punted out of danger.
Oakley was offside once and so
was Burley, and Oakley was penal

Martin was kicked il. the eye and

head and was dazed for a time. Oak

Both teams fought hard till the
end of the game and when the final I

 Heating, J. Fakin, D. Morris and NJ. Healy.
 Danny Graham's revue contained some novelty terpsichorean features
 which were new and entertaining. All
 the dancers were masters and mis- tresses of their stunts, and rank among the top-notchers in followers of the rythmic art. Hide Orth entertained at the piano. In "Just Young and Careless" Irv- ing Edwards proved himself comedian of rare ability. Edwards uses neither slapstick accessories nor makeup, and relies entirely on the real comedy con-
 tained in his monologue and his man. ner of putting it over. He has a pleas ing voice and can dance.
 Lester and Stuart in Bound for No where" were headed in just that di- rection. They sang and danced ac- ceptably on the way, however, and were entertaining in dialogue.
 Lovers of music will find pleasure in ''The Zylos," in classical and popular renditions. This is a pair of expert and naturally talented musicians, and their Musical Numbers" were greeted with applause.
