A J EVENTS OF YEAR Junior Week Bach class-each University--has a Junior Week and each believes his is best. We are very firm in our belief because never before has the old University been so generally satisfied. For the entire week shiny coats and trousers were put away. White knickers and llannels took the place of baggy serges. liven the collars on shirts were cleaner. Did you notice the trick hats, tooil Boy! It was one week of collegiate atmosphere. Sort of a glimpse into the future when B. U. will be a real campus college and C. B. A. won't have to walk a mile for a date. Thursday and Friday there was the show - our third annual entitled Bound- ing Billowsf' The affair was written by a C. B. A. man. George Bacon. Don While of C. B. A. was the general manager, while the two leads were played by C. B. A. students, Oren A. Armstrong and lVluriel Archung. More power to C. B. A. Boy, what a show! it was just p-e-r-f-e-c-t. liveryone had a great evening, too-even those in the fraternity boxes who had to divide their time between their liabilities and the gang in the chorus, who had borrowed their tux's and by their stage antics threatened. to split the trousers. After the show came the big dance at the Music Box and chairman Bill Pelkus did himself noble. But on Saturday -- Oh, man! Oh, man! The Junior ,Picnic was ten circuses and side shows all combined. The News-Beanpot ballgame will go down in history as an event par excellence. Such stops, such hits, such misthrowsl It was some comedy of errors. Then after the ci'owd had stopped laughing they watched a turf classic that would put the Kentucky Derby to shame. Then came water sports. One of the sporty ones miscued and the canoe capsized. Epilogue shows scene of a certain couple leaving early before the dance that night. Sunday, in general, everyone sort of checked up on her or himself to find out what it was all about. lVlany for the first time realized who was responsible for such a glorious week-end. So that you'll know and won't forget, please note lhe following: - they were responsible. To them go the brown derbies, glass looth- brushes, etc. Chairman, Alvah B.

SYLLABUS 1925 ' 'F . - Junior Week CConlinuedj Monday, we journeyed. to the Copley-Plaza to the Swiss Boom and the Pana- delphic Dance - Such a hop, such a doggone good hopl Everyone who regularly makes pinholes in his vest was there-many others wanted to be, but because of limited. tickets were constrained to listen in on the radio. Friday, the girls seemed. pretty nice, but on Monday, somebody must have uncorked all the Ad girls in the country. Owing to a fine faculty spirit, we had no quizzes to worry over, so the books continued to gather their daily dozen grains of dust. Somebody conceived the brilliant idea that we should dedicate the new song- book on T ucsday-we did! From an authentic source we have it that Leo Biseman changed violins twelve times, trying to find. out where the discords came from. We found out at the party that some of the fraternities have songs we would like 'to hear more frequently. On Wednesday, the boys all appeared with Sam Browne belts laboriously polished. At about 3:30, the girls began to flock to the Fenway - then the fun began. Oh, boy! Oh, manl Oh ,- girl! such a drill as that was. With such an audience looking on, we are sure any man could have carried a machine gun on his shoulder, or shot it from his hip. In the evening, the boys climbed into the remaining clean pair of flannels and piled over to the Gym for Activities Night. A strictly novel entertainment, an innovation this year, which because of the hit it made and the fine time everyone had, is sure to become a fixture of Junior Week. Thursday, the boys stalled off the fairer ones and sought the downy couches on which to grab oil' forty winks. It was rumored. that fraternities kept Open House, but we aren't sure because, as for ourselves, we slept. . Anyone would want to sleep so as to store up extra energy for the one big event Friday night, the PBOM. What a twelve cylinder success the prom turned out to bel Maybe Bert Lowe's team has played better- maybe some- where there has been gathered 'together a prettier bevy of girls -- and finer men - we say MAYBE. You see, we don't really believe in Santa Claus and so won't say more. Before the Promenade, the fairer sex received engraved invitations that were supposed to go with the tickets - but - l Afterwards, there were many other little engraved cards went out, yes - we darn near fell in love ourselves, but re- membered thc rented tux.-. Thus ended the week according to the reading on the calendar, but it will be lived over and over again in memory and when memory lacks vividness, there is the mem-book. 262
