BULKELEY NEWS 9 track manager were proposed by Prof. Towne: Jos. T. Harrington, Lloyd Denison, Edward May, George Reinacher, and Maurice J. Sullivan. Edward May was elected manager for the coming track meet. Immediately after the election for track manager, the annual election for football manager was held. Prof. Towne nominated Keeney, McGraw, and Spicer. Later Coleman Redden nominated Yarvots, and Harry Donnelly nominated Corcoran. This was the first time candidates for managers have been nominated from the floor. Yarvots was chosen manager for the coming year of 1917. B B B A T a meeting of the Senior Class it was proposed that the Class should hold a dance in the Crocker House. The proposal was immediately accepted by the Class, and a committee of arrangements was chosen by President Reinacher. The committee is as follows: Harry Donnelly, Frank Farina, Creighton Tev-lin, Edward R. May, J. P. Lyons. The dance is to be an informal affair; and is to be held February 2nd. The music will be furnished by Wight’s Orchestra. A good time is anticipated by all. □ □ B the 12th of December, T. C. Thompson, of the Thompson Illustrative Co., Poughkeepsie, N. Y. took a panoramic picture of the body of students on the Campus. B B B rT HE Theta Sigma Fraternity held their annual social on December 6th in the Crocker House ballroom. There were over a hundred couples present. The room was appropriately decorated, and the dancers presented a beautiful sight as they glided over the floor in their fancy dress costumes. The affair was the most successful in the history of the fraternity, which plans to hold another one some time in the future. B B B TAID you see the Junior caps? They are certainly a beantiful sight when they are all together marching around at recess. One pedestrian stopped and asked a Senior if the inmates of Brewster’s Neck were out on a walking trip. We don’t blame him for asking such a question, for those caps certainly show up some remarkably fine forms of ivory carvings. Some of those shapes would make a native ivory carver in India turn green with jealousy. Oh yes, the Juniors put something over on the school. One student remarked that it is wonderful what a change eighty cents worth of cloth will make in a man. B B B T)R.OP Frederick W. Edgerton, former head of the English Department addressed the school several weeks ago. He explained the use and purpose of the Public Library, of which he is now head librarian. He read articles from several recent publications, and also recommended a number of good books to the students. He dwelled especially on the

In former years most of the classes waited until their Sophomore year before they purchased pins. 0 0 0 ' pHE school wishes to thank the Class of 1901 for their donation toward the athletic fund.
