MysticS Plan Activities

A meeting was held last evening
at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house at
Colby of the Mystics, Sophomore
honorary society for the purpose of
completing plans for the spring acti-
vities. The society recently decided
to act as welcoming organization
to the various visiting athletic teams
from other colleges and the pur-
pose of the meeting was to make
arrangements for the coming track
and baseball seasons. The society
plans to have some of its members
meet the visiting teams and conduct
them to their quarters and to also
show them about the college and the
city. The members of the society
may be distinguished by their blue
and gray hats which have a blue
IN" on the front of them. The So
ciety is similar to the Green Key
society at Dartmouth and the

sity.

School Year Broken
Up Into Shorter
Terms by Board

Next year the pupils of the Water
Vile schools will attend school for
three terms of eight weeks each and
one term of ~ weeks. where before
they have done the years work in
three terms, each of IL weeks. The
change in the calendar was decided
upon at a meeting yesterday of the
committee of the members of the
school board having it in charge.
The year will start on Monday morn
ing, September Z, and the fall term
will continue through Friday, Decem-
Der II. This is the longest term of
the year but it will be we'll broken up
with short recesses. At Thanksgiving
the schools will be closed for four and
half days and exercises will be sus-
pended for both the State and county
conventions.
The Christmas vacation will be Of
two weeks and will start on December
II and end on December 2S. The win
ter term will last until February 10
and there will then be vacation until
March l. The spring term commence,
on that date and closes on April 3. Aft
err a vacation of a week, on the 3rd of
May the pupils will continue their
studies until June 10, when the schools
will close for the long summer vaca-
ton.
In adopting such a calendar Water
Vile is taking up the plan followed
in practically the cities in Massachu-
sets and a ma jority of them in Maine.
1t is believed by education authorities
that the short terms keep the stu
dents In better condition to get the ur-
most from their work. BY the calen-
dar that IS in effect this year the two
weeks spring vacation usually comes
at time Of slush and mud when there
Is little pleasure in being out Of doors
The early spring of this year mace
the vacation that the students have
been enjoying for the last two weeks
very pleasant and there has been lit
tie or no Indictment weather. By the
new calendar the pupils will be going
to school for the entire wet season,
the recess between the winter and
spring terms coming at a time when
wintry conditions still obtain and the
spring vacation at a time when the
frost has left the ground and 1T is
