If The first six weeks of the fall semester were spent in gymnastics. Then Ii the various teams were organized and inter-class basketball was begun. Orr was chosen to represent the Freshman Class, Tursman, the Juniors, and Owen QI the Seniors. The Seniors won the honors in basketball, playing the whole series without a single defeat. IE Immediately following the final game of basketball, inter-class baseball '1 was started. The first series of games resulted in a triple tie but in the :Ili second series the Seniors defeated both the Freshmen and the juniors, and li I were proclaimed champions. 151 Although the Seniors were winners in both basketball and baseball, there i is another team which merits recognition. Tursman's juniors, though handi- 31 capped in number, were a well organized team and were hard fighters. Their ii T playing set forth the principles taught by our instructor, that is: Play to win if but play fair. Winser and Kelly were the outstanding Junior stars in IQ-, basketball.

x f i The QD Q11-'J 11 ly GL H 5 de ,RL ' , 1 Th arguments of the prosecution so well that it seemed that there was not a chance of convicting the man. He told the jury that the prosecution had endeavored to try a man who was not guilty and that the prisoner, instead of being the type of man who would attack any one, was one that would refrain from doing any physical harm. On the other hand he painted John Stih as a criminal and told of his associations in business and home life. Then Prosecuting Attorney Bartolini, with a look of determination on his face, rose and made his stand before the jury box. Never before in the history of this community has there been a crime of such a serious nature as this one, thus Bartolini began his final plea to the jury. He argued, he plead, he quoted cases and authorities, he persuaded, he talked logic, he stamped his feet, and he wrung his hands, holding the jury spellbound. Things looked much better for the prosecution as Bartolini concluded his appeal by saying. So, gentlemen of the jury, in the name of justice, I ask that you give this man the full penalty of the law. The jury retired, returning after the lapse of thirty minutes with the decision that Stephen Vargo was guilty of assault and battery but not with the intent to kill, sentencing him to thirty days in jail. LEO BARTOLINI. FEBRUARY SENIOR THEATRE PARTY A Kings famous dining room-a banquet table laid for thirty Seniors- Mountain looming above the party with his excess avoirdupois-Erickson and Falasz presenting a bizarre rendition of the latest, yes, the very latest musical selections-Estus pounding a puissant piano in shivering crescendo-then, none other than that distinguished member of the faculty, Frederick William lVlcClusky, giving voice and tune to street songs of the Bowery as he heard them on the sidewalks of New York-encores for Mr. lVlcClusky-applause from the rest of the dining room patrons who can see not but hear much. Pass the olives, Bimbo -roast chicken, scalloped potatoes and savory sundries-Estus is off again-everybody's singing now- Oh, Mister Gal- lagher, Last Night on the Back Porch, Oh, the Bowery, the Bowery, I Want a Girl, just Like the Girl -The Four Horsemen cutting up-Rounds making love to his brother berserker, Klein-Duel and Kelleher engaging in an ice cream consuming contest-balloons, red balloons, blue balloons, process of inflating balloons, process of deflating balloons by application of salad forks-speech by Boettcher-standing vote of thanks-Falasz and flashlight, Erickson and a camera-Boom! Party retires to the Adelphi Theatre to see Lowell Sherman in High Stakes -loop natives startled by tribe of savages snake dancing-savages storm Adelphi and seize first two rows center, balcony-savages engage in lowering barrage of party caps and balloons upon innocent bald pates and bare backs below. Play starts-'savages sit entranced as one of the finest dramatic offerings of the theatrical year unfolds-hero saves day-party piles out on Clark Street-some leave while others proceed to Berghoff's for a liver sausage sandwich and a stein of root beer-party again going strong-party winds up with vociferation and leavetaking. What a memorable night! Such was the February Senior Theatre Party. ROBERT F. KELLEHER. lPage B51 : .- H .'.'1 'T' ' 'f ' - 'f '.
