r I Wf li ...QWGQQQB ' ifrriihman Artiuitg The Men's Department was boosted last September when twenty-five men, making up the largest men's class to ever enroll in Arnold College, became members of that ever-growing department. We were like a corral full of young, unbroken colts racing around widely until someone took us by the hand,cxxned us dovui and brought us through our Hrst year of Arnold College. To Mr. Glasser, and our advisors and to all the Freshman Instructors we give thanks for the indispensable help you have rendered us. Twenty-iive capable men made a football team look possible and the spirn:and.zestyvhich.thefFreshrnen.shoyved on the gridiron stanaped thern as worthy upholders, of Arnold Athletics. Towards the close of Fall Camp the Freshmen Minstrel was given and it won the plaudits of everyone for its fine work. Bride, Boisseau and Demshak were the minstrel hits. The indoor season found the Ekeshnnni agani acdve. Pahnnbo, Schneider and Tanno worked well with the Gym Team and Gorman, Carl- son and Robertson kept the Freshmen in Dramatics. A debate, Resolved, That Interscholastic Athletics Should Be Abolished, proved a tremendous success and served as a foundation for a now active debating society. The negative, Sivigny, Climo and Degnan won the issue, while the affirmative, Davin, Bender and Bride thought otherwise. Basketball found Davin, Sloman, Sivigny, Edwards and Degnan as the Freshmen aspirants and Al Sloman took individual scoring honors with him for another Freshman laurel. To Toots Lesneski goes the distinction of being'the nrstfFreshrnan to nnake Swvord Society-a goal of aH of us. In baseball the Freshmen are leading again. The Freshmen, on the whole, have weathered a critical period-the first year when he shakes off the routine of the world and harnesses to hard work and hard play. THOMAS J. DEGNAN, '30. sg l31l

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
