In May-time youth ' s blood leaps merrily in his veins, for love and joy. All arrived at classes on this new month feeling like so many Queens of the May. The lovely taste was soon removed from the mouth by having to dig up two bucks for a volume bound in cheaper imitation leather than this one. We looked at the colored plate (s), but decidedly preferred the young lady on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. The present annual board congratulated itself that it did not have to go much to beat it. More like a Gold Brick than a Nugget. Track athletics received a jar when Tommy traveled two miles in fifteen minutes, and Rabbit negotiated one hundred yards in 1 1 seconds. Wonderful ! Harry Black was given the official quill and e lected chief hot-air merchant of the Tiger for the ensuing year, while Dick Hughes was made his paymaster. D. U. came down to Washburn hield to try a second game with Rothy ' s nine, but went home losers, 3-2. It was on the sixth that the college gave the greatest High School Day Track Meet ever attempted this side of the Mississippi. Four new rec- ords were made. Greeley High School won. The excitement was great, likewise the expense. Weines were at a premium on the day that the Kappa Beta Phi pledges appeared with their wurst badges. Strange as it may seem, Kappa Beta Phi out- numbered Phi Beta Kappa. The Aggies had a pitcher and so they thought they were good enough to take a fall out of the Tigers on Washburn. The Aggies got the goose-egg end of the 4-0 score. That afternoon Boulder and an automobile saved Boulder ' s IO . . . r. ' - ' .? . 1 «- ' , •••; s •:. s. r. J i ..i

Peak by Dr. Schneider, and The History of Colorado Mammal- ogy by Mr. Warren were scholarly, but were not read by the students. The engineers put on imitation deep-sea diving cos- tumes and dove into the depths of Palmer Hall in an effori to rescue any poor miners who might be working there. No one was suffocated because the services were duly chaperoned by U. S. government experts. The French Club presented La Poudre Aux Yeux. Although everyone went, they could not even understand whether it was face powder or the kind used in cannon. No one can ever forget the Ladies ' Gym Exhibi- tion. It may never come again, but those gracefully swaying figures will live forever within our memories. When the Alpha Taus gave a reception to the faculty the public declared that it was a ow means to se- cure grades. The male members of the class of 1913 gath- ered at the Antlers Hotel for their Second Annual Banquet. Some of the members were detained. Meanwhile the members of 1914 were holding an informal smoker on the Mesa. Later that night some of these same 1 9 1 4-ers bathed in one of the Jungle lakes. To get mud out of their hair, cutting was necessary. Reciprocity was in force the following morning. The Seniors had their Pikers ' Day, and piked far away into the fastnesses of the Rockies. Student Government was sound asleep when they arrived home at 2 A. M. the next morning. The Ap Club took the ladies over to the Cliff House to eat pretzels and drink Manitou. The same day our bat wielders left Denver with the large end of a 4-0 score taken from D. U. On a Friday in Bouldei our opponents won a ball game. .. ;■.- •.,..•;.-•.•.• • . ... ..... ..• ; . :;;,♦.- .v : --:. V--iv • •% 4 . ■ ' 1 • V

In the evening of that day, some people got their first peep — merely a peep — at the Jungle by night. It was while spending their hard-earned cash in all the latest and most hair-raising sensations imported for the occasion by the May Festival Co. After months of waiting and wrangling between the parties, Prof. Waldo, Judge of the Supreme Court of St. Louis, re-affirmed the decision of the Conference, declaring Herb Sinton a non-profesh athlete. Too bad. Miners. That ' s twice for you — Jardine and Sinton. L. M. Bowers, a big business man, took a night off to talk to the college men. It made us with the empty pockets feel like going at it just a little bit harder than usual. On the eighteenth, C o n te mporary Lit ' ry Society functioned at one of our most fashion- able hostel- ries, the Ant- lers. The man who got the town girl, and had to buy a cab, swore. But he swore gently. At the Inter-Collegi- ate State Track Meet in Boul- der, the State University and the Tigers pretty completely snowed un- der all the other contestants. U. of C, 721 2 ; C. C, 50; Aggies, 6« 2 ; Mines, 5. The Kinn Board gave Furgy Ormes the Kin- niftinnilt Blue Pencil with the privilege of filling the official waste basket during the ensuing year. Eddy Morse was elected ad-chaser for the publication. Sacred Heart came from Denver to take a second chance with the Tigers, and lost again, 6-0. The team then nailed up the baseball championship in the right way by coming back at Boulder on Washburn, 4-3 in ten innings. Miss Hall, the noisy girl with the big racquet, cinched the ladies ' tennis title without hesitating. II •.:•; : ' ••.•:« 1 . ' .• ' • . ' »■- •- »k •,-.
