SOphOmOres Entertain Freshies
The Sophomores decided to en-
tertain the Freshmen with Christ
mas party this year instead of hav-
ing the usual rough and tumble
initiation which is customary here.
When the Freshies gathered at
the door of the Washington audi
torium December 23, 1925, a COM
petent doctor, Ralph Day, gave each
one a physical examination before
he could enter. His worthy assist
ant, Sprague Mayes, was concealed
under a corner of the table and
as DR.. Day asked the client if he
had ever been stung by wasp,
Sprague would prick the trembling
patient on the ankle with pin.
By $50 most of the Freshmen
and Sophomores started the games
which continued till 10:15, when
very tempting lunch was served
to about eighty people.
Besides the members of the class
Mrs. Hungerford, Mrs. Jackson,
Mrs. Matteson, Mrs. Martin, Mr..
Madden, Miss Hall and Miss Blood
good were present.
The most important moment of
the evening was the arrival of San
ia Claus. The stage curtains were
parted and a beautiful Christmas
tree was shared by all.
Santa, Irby Mae Richardson, said
that he didn't want the Freshmen
to be disappointed. All had a lot
of fun with their small gifts. The
Freshmen gave yell, returned by
the Sophomores and all said good
night"

WASHINGTON--Judi dignity at
tains news heights in the consp racy
trial of Edward l.. Doheny and Albert
p. Fall.
Z Never was there such combination
of dignity on the bench, dignity at
the counsel tables, dignity among
newspapermen and spectators, ana
dignity at the door through which the
outside world tries to crash.
For Justice Adolph A. Hoehhng, OF
the district supreme court, is both
stern and strict. His ideals of court
procedure in an important case are
high indeed. He declares that the
courthouse is dignity itself
1t would lessen the dignity of the
court he felt, to allow newspaper
photographers to take pictures dur
ing the trial. 1t would lessen tn,
dignity Of the court to allow pic
lures to be taken, in advance, of the
hare courtroom, 1t would even lessen
the dignity of the court to allow any
ca1neraman inside the courthouse az
ALL and thus far none has got in.
The photogra phcr sent messenger
to the judge asking if they couldn't
photograph the jury. The judge said
mo" and that settled it. No STAFF
of attendants ever took such pains
to see that a jur.st was obeyed.
I'm trying to keep this courthouse
