Wahl M1 um 1 ,hi ...MQ 1 2 s 2-Xrtiuiiirz nf the QlHP11'H Enpartmvni The year 1928 was one of achievement in the annals of the men's department, both in the sport calendar and in the social life of the College. Largely through the efforts of Mr. Massey, '25, the College was ably represented on the football field for the first time by a group of husky athletes, who gave no mean account of themselves during the season. The work of conditioning the players and teaching them the rudiments was begun at fall camp, and it was quite a novel sight for the young ladies to see the boys falling on the ball, kicking, passing and scrimmaging. All of the games were played on the soccer field, which was revamped to suit the needs of the game. Of course, the entire student body turned out for these games, and the camp surely did echo with the resounding cheers for the Red and White. When the students returned indoors, the playing of home games was given up, because of the lack of time and proper playing grounds. The season ended with three games won, one lost and one tied, a very good showing for our first team. Norman Feifer was elected cap- tain, and proved to be an inspiring leader. His presence on the field seemed to inspire the fighting spirit into the boys, and to him must go a large share of the credit for the fine work accomplished. Only a few of the varsity men are graduating, and we can look forward to a champions, ship team next year, with Captain-elect Celone leading the team. The men next turned their attention to basketball, and it was again up to Mr. Massey to start the ball rolling. A new plan, suggested by Dr. Arnold, was tried out this year, and proved to be quite successful. The plan was to put the game into the hands of the students themselves, and if possible, to let one of their number take charge. William Cook was elected captain of the team, and acting in this capacity, directed the efforts of the team. A feature of the season was the annual trip South, and on it the boys gave a good account of themselves. The team enjoyed a pros- perous season, winning a majority of their games. With Captain-elect MacCarthy, Sloman, Davin and Degnan, of the varsity team, back next year, along with some good second team material, the prospects for next year are exceedingly bright. While the basketball team was making a name for itself on the pol- ished surface, the gymnastic team was not idle, by any manner of means. Regular practices were held weekly, and soon the boys were in readiness l'79l

will M Q-a lias for a series of exhibitions scheduled around the state. Exercises on rings, parallel bars, horse and spring-board, thrilled the various audiences throughout the state, and much favorable comment was heard, both on the work done and also the personal appearance of the fine gymnasts. With only a few letter men back, the prospects of a championship team in baseball looked rather gloomy, but the Freshman class proved to be a gold mine of wealth, as for material, and the cloud has indeed taken on a silver lining. William Sullivan, hero of many of the thrilling games last year, was elected unanimously to the honored position of captain. For the second time, during the school year, the Sunny South was invaded, this time to the accompaniment of the crack of the bat and the thud of horse- hide striking leather. The team did exceedingly well, for so early in the season, winning one and losing one, the third scheduled game being called off because of bad weather. After Miss .Lalonde's voice class had progressed sufficiently, a group of men in the class held an interesting and instructive debate in Jahn. The subject was, Should Intercollegiate Athletics Be Abolished? and Mrl Nathan Bender won the applause of the large audience for his excel- lent oratorical ability. For the first time, men have taken prominent parts in Dramatic Club plays. No longer do the young ladies, with the boyish bobs, don our trousers, and attempt to render their lines with a deep, masculine voice. The men have gotten over their bashfulness, and many of our coeds have been found very proficient in their love scenes. A men's glee club has been started, under the capable direction of Mr. North. Composed of twelve men, the club, under Mr. North's direction and interest shown, is bound to grow. Perhaps the greatest feature of the year was the starting of a men's dormitory. It had long been Dr. Arnold's wish to have one, but because of business and school matters, he could not find sufficient time to attend to this matter, and it remained for Mr. C. F. Lyman to do the actual work concerned. A large home, across the street from the school, was obtained, and fitted out to suit the needs of the boys. About fifteen boys have lived in this environment, and plans are already under way towards accommo- dating many more next year. Most of the credit for the real advance of the men's department goes to Mr. Glasser, who was always willing to give some of his spare time whenever it would benefit the men. The men's department is still in the embryonic stage, but under the guidance of Dr. Arnold, Mr. Glasser, and other members of the Faculty, we feel sure that it will be a great success. WILLIAM Coox, President. l80l
