the squad in combination with the music of Iohnny Gilbert made the eve- ning memorable for the twenty-one men who received their varsity let- ters as well as the others attending. lt was indeed a fitting opening for the dances to follow. Then there was the Christmas vacation, and all the fun which came with it. Some of us returned to the campus on the twenty-fifth to see the party for the Poor Kids, and a good many more attended the Alumni Lunch- eon, for it was there that we renewed old friendships and in some in- stances formed new ones. Then it seemed almost before the vacation started it was over, and we had again resumed school and classes. Vacation sure was swell, but all thought of it was put aside in the mad rush to prepare for Mid- Winters. AS we look back, even How we can see nothing that could have been improved, that is except for the weather, for forty degrees is hardly hockey temperature. Other than this unfortunate cancella- tion all held to schedule. The first of the festivities-the Headrnastefs tea-served as a means through which boys could meet dates and chaperons, and the hostesses could meet them all, Then too it pro- longed the hour of arrival so that one might qrrive late and yet not be tardy. It does sound rather peculiar: but, nevertheless, it Worked. That evening we all assembled in Reid Hall to witness a satire filled with jokes and jests on prep-school life. As we recall now the narrative of the story, which was thought out and written by George Young, fol-

Necessary contributors to the plot were scenes of a faculty meeting, a class, a moonlit park, and a dormitory room. The leads, taken by Staff Kelley and Frank Birney, were indeed well acted as well as sung. lust preceding this on the same program were The Glee Club and The Orchestra, whose performances were marked with skill and beauty. They showed that they had ability, bettered to a degree of perfection by practice under expert guidance.

There, enveloped by the geometrically de- signed decorations and the music of Lind Iohnson, all truckin' artists rose to shine as The Big Apple made its initial bow to LPA. The following morning, weary and worn but happy with it all, every one trudged over to the college gym, there to see the faculty fall to the relentless charge of the Varsity-50-45.
