Je11erSOn last; week S4-1O, Jeffer-
son now stands a good chance OF
going through the season unde-
teated and leads jim the boys brac-
ket Of the Asher division in the
Appalachian conference with five
victories. Nathans.: Creek is in
second place with four wins and
one loss.
The West JknerishIgirls, after
a couple of weeks of extensive
practice, got EJe1effge for the
boys loss by topping the Jeffer-
son girls 1928, in one of the sea-
sons closest. matches. The Vir-
ginia-Carolina girls, though idle
last week, and Nathan's Creek
girls lead the conference with
four victories ;: and one defeat
each. ~.
Exciting games for tomorrow
night are predicted when Vir-
ginia-Carolina meets Nathan's
Creek there, when Lansing takes
on Jefferson at home and when
Healing Springs meets Fleetwood
at Fleetwood.
Healing Springs girls almost
shutout Riverview last Friday
by winning rs, to l. And rs points
were all the Healing Springs boys
could get as Riverview defeated
them 1926. Both of Nathan's
Creeks teams had an easy time
winning over Lansing last week.
The girls score was 41-20 and the
boys 1921. Fleetwood and Elk
land split a double header. The
Elkland boys won 23-11, while
the girls lost, 3 to Is.
Mary Brown and Helen Sells
were the big reasons for West
JefferSon'S win over Jefferson.
Brown scored Is points while
Sells played an outstanding game
at guard. In the boys game Parks
Coward for Jefferson was the big
factor in bottling up the West
Jefferson sharp-shooters, while
his teammates, John Weaver and
Eddie Woodie scored most of
Jefferson's SO points. Coach Char
lie Weaver says his boys are i'm
proving with every game and will
be ready to 60 places in the tour
nament.
The coaches of the teams in
the county are well-pleased with
the improved craftsmanship dis
played by members of the teams
in the last few games and request
that more fans turn out to the
conference games every Friday

Georgetown u. Lists
1896 Graduates
In New Directory
Alumni Roster Goes

The new edition of the George

containing a complete listing of all
graduates since the charter year of
1877. IS now being distributed to SUBJ

The new directory is the first re-
Sis,on issued since 1924. 1t lists the
names of 1895 graduates who were
awarded degrees. OF this number
soDroyimalely l1,200 are still living.

GEORGETOWN since the days of the

ro-iod of depression and the loss OF
9 .arge proportion of students who
formerly attended from the South
en- States.
Biographical Sketches Given.
There has been a great need for a
revised edition of the directory in
recent years. The 1924 edition, the
frs compilation of its kind, was
published at a time when the uni
yers.ty began reorganizing its alumni
b0dv on a Nationwide scale. In
some respects the new directory is
more convenient than the 1924 edi-
ton and introduces changes which
improve it.
The 1895 names of graduates are
listed alphabetically geographically
anC chronologically. The classes
cate back to 1917, the year Congress
gave Georgetown its charter author
.7jng awarding of degrees.
Each name carries an abbreviated
biographical sketch, giving the de-
gree held, present occupation and
address. In the 1924 edition the
known deceased alumni were listed
separately. but that has been
changed in the new directory.

been received for the directory be-
fore it went to press. A large re-
serve stock will be kept on hand to

Abroad, the revolution was raging

First Sedition Laws.
Every school child knows of the
attempt made to exact the promise
of tolls from our incorruptible COM
misSionerS to France, c. C. Pinck-
ney, John Marshall and Eldridge
Gerry, for the privilege of securing
preferential treatment in the re-
vision of French treaties.
Adams determined to keep the
United States neutral and did. One
of his first acts as President was to
call Congress in special session to
consider means of keeping peace.
While the war excitement was at
its height, Congress passed the
country's first alien and sedition
laws. These authorized the Presi-
dent to eXpel any foreigner he
deemed injurious to the countrys
best interests, and gave him the
power to fine or imprison any one
lbeling Congress, the President or
the Government.
Subsequently, resolutions of Ken
lucky and Virginia declared the
alien and sedition laws unconstitu-
tional, because they were In viola
ton of States rights, and limited
freedom of speech and press.
The issue of notification thus
raised for the first time in Adams
administration was later to split the
Union in two, with the Civil War as
its climax.
Embittered by Defeat.
So embittered was President
Adams at his failure to win re-elec-
ton that he refused to remain in
Washington to escort@his successor,
Thomas Jefferson, who had been his
Vice President, from the White
House to the Capitol.
We know from the letters of
Adams wife. Abrigail, that being a
pioneer first lady" in Capital City
that was very much in its swaddling
clothes had its problems.
Her description of the barn-like
unfinished east room which she
utilized with New England capability
and adaptability, as a place in which
to hang the family wash to dry, is
one of the most famous gems from
