ca - SYLLABUS 1925 'fi' j, T 1 .-L' - far 1 .- , ,Q Preview of Year History says some wise old bird, repeats itself. Mebbe so, but not here at B. U. At other colleges the same things happen year in and year out, with little variation. At our little Alma lVlater, however, l.hings vary more than the temperature in some or our heated rooms, which is saying a llock of mouthfuls. linumerating a few of the more outstanding and never-before incidents, as the case may be, witness the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration, the Endowment Drive, the opening of the new Varsity Gym, the New York. trip, the Junior Dance, B. U. Night at i'Caroline, the annual Devil's Den riot, the visit of l'ormer 'Vice-'President Marshall and the impressive Skull tappings, together with the biggest and best Junior Week and Show, ol' which more elsewhere. Commencing at the properly designated spot. however, the first thing on the score-card is registration, which we pass over without connnent, except for a few groans and a prayer that Lord llowelies, well known to Beanpot readers, will invent a registration machine. even if he has to steal Professor Stratton's patent on the one he talks so much about inventing. Sterling Greene ol' Watertown broke the college record for ofliee-holding, and was elected president of his Class for the third consecutive time. lVlore than l500 students visited Caroline at the Majestic Theatre, ,No- vember 8, and enjoyed the show tremendously. Next to the Gym opening, the New York t.rip was the event of t.he year. Friday, November 23, about 200 loyal B. U. rooters boarded the train at the South Station, and proceeded in orderly manner to Fall Biver. The good ship Priscilla got. under way shortly afterwards, and if we are to believe the story in thc News, the proceedings, of the ship at least, were anything but orderly. Between the 200 of us, we managed to do just about everything in little old New York, from Chinatown to Greenwich Village and from the lVletropolitan to Artists and Models. Sunday was spent. in sightseeing, and in recupcrating from the elfects of the day, and night. before. At 5 p.m., the boat started, with most of us on board. and we arrived in Boston just in time for 9:l5's Monday nu rning, which classes were attended physically if not ot.herwise by the trippers. Two of the most important events of the year featured the week of February 18. On Monday, the Skull, junior honorary society, held their annual tapping of juniors. Ten men from the Class of 1925 were selected during the impressive ceremonies, together with Dr. lidwin lVl. Chamberlin and Prof. Boy Davis ofthe college faculty. The following day, Tuesday, February l9, witnessed the opening of the new Varsity Gym on the third floor of the old Arena. The authorities spent some fllS30,000 in fixing the place up, and when the 2000 or more B. U. followers jammed their way in to the Gym on the opening night, they voted the money well expended. ln accordance with the precedent set during the last school year, the University authorities brought to B. U. to deliver a series of lecl.ures, a man whom everyone enjoyed and profited by hearing, Thomas B. lVlarshall, former Vice-President of the United States, who was with us during the week of March 10. More than 150 juniors foregathered at Whitney lflall, February 18, to trip the light fantastic fox-trot at the annual junior hop. 26-1

Th Balance Sheet And to every man shall come his day of accounting PUnL1s1-nan nv THE JUNIOR CLASS ANNIE DoM1Nv, 1924 Juniors Heartily Endorse Regular Vacational Course At last, the promised Utopia has arrived in our midst. The Junior Class of C. B. A. has heartily indorsed the Vocational Department and its work. No other department of the school has done so much for the stu- dents. Instead of letting the pursuers of learning waste their time Friday afternoons by going to a show, the department brings entertainers to the school, where all can list.en and sleep quietly. The final exams, however, are a trifle difficult and some trouble was experienced in filling both sides of the paper. The juniors, moreover, are very' much in favor of paying the full tuition rate, instead of only a part for their Supervised Employment. This is due to the fact that the Friday after- noon teas are very much appreciated. If we may be allowed to misquote some of thc prominent members of the class we assume this liberty: I'rcs'id1enl I re1lAngclu.v Ilzmnon- of course the Vocational Department is the most popular. If I make enough managing the golf team, I'll be tickled to death to pay the Supervised Employ- ment fee. Dorman- Oli, dear, I think that De- partment is too wonderful for words. In fact, I have no words strong enough to express my feelings. Mririon Balcom- I thinkit's wonder- ful that they have segregated the girls, so that we can't talk to the boys. The Juniors are thinking of holding an indignation meeting and insist that the fee be raised. WILL GIVE JUNIORS INTELLIGENCE TESTS There seems to be some agitation for intelligence tests among the juniors. This is the hrst inkling that has come to us that shows that some people really believe that Juniors possess 1n- telligence. But why the test? If we possess intelligence, then it must be perfectly apparent, and thus satisfy the outsiders. Let it ever be thus.

BEDROOM FARCE Light Opera Made Lighter by Feather-Brained . Hero ' The latest C. B. A. show has been denounced by the Masque, an organ- ization which has nothing to do with the Klan. It is written by George Bacon who has been an actor in his days. Bacon is sometimes, for this reason, referred to as the ham what am. He spent three years in the South Sea Islands under the cocoanut trees, and he often calls those days his palmier days. The first scene is laid in the Edison Electric plant and calls for a deal of light comedy. The super- intendent of the plant is a humorous character with a bulbous nose. It is said that this scene is a steal from Whispering Wires and, if so, Bacon will shock many of his ardent admirers. The second scene is a fishing scene and that is where the cast comes into its own. Even the storm a-baits after a while, and the hero, who is very much abused in the early scenes, proves that even a worm may turn. To make this scene more attractive, and real- istic, Bacon has gone to Europe and brought back twelve beautiful blonde Poles to make up the chorus. ' THE POET'S CORONER Who has the rest of the verses to the poem which contains: Whoever touches a hair of your gray head. Dies like a dog Marchand, he said. If she be a dainty damsel and weigh one quarter of a ton, If you love. her and wish to propose, het on your knees son, and Nielson. Izzie was an aviator Who married across the sea, Each day I go to the ocean, And the sea gulls fly to me.

LEGAL TERMINOLOGY SAVES MR. NORTON Further developments in the Norton- VVheeler case were brought out in McCabe's court room when the plain- tiff, VVheeler, produced several wit- nesses with testimony which shed new light on the matter. Sidney Lacob said that he had often wondered how IVIr. Norton could repre- sent himself as a rich man when he had only a Beanpot to show, and now Mr. Norton was hailed into court for being caught with his hand in the Beanpot. Asked why Norton was able to dress himself so cagey, Mr. Lacob answered that Mr. Norton was in very dire straits, when he was being sued in a breach of promise case. and did not have a decent pair of trousers to wear to court. Mr. VVheeler's shoulders shook con- vulsively with racking sobs, as the witness told how the plaintiff had taken pity on Norton in his decrepit condition and had brought a breach of contract action against him, and now Norton had a fine pair of breaches. I.acob was then excused because he lived in Waltham and it was time for him to get back, The plaintiff, Mr. Wheeler, gave weighty testimony in which he claimed that Norton had been seen taking some money out of the Beanpot office. Mr. Norton himself decided to cross- examine the witness and the records read as follows: Continued rm Page 8 NEAR TRAGEDY IN C. B. A.
