Evans, who is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, coached the Commerce teams this year, and will continue to do so next year. Mr. Evans is a star in the athletic line, having played on the basket ball, base ball, and foot ball teams of his college, along which line he certainly is a hustler. Although a star in every sport, he is modest of his grand record at Wesleyan. Mr. Evans has gained the good will of all the fellows, and never has a coach been so popular and so close to the student body as he is. lie is also an energetic teacher and all-around good fellow. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. ATHLETIC activities were well supported during the year. The suits, balls and other necessities for the teams were bought by the Athletic Association with the money raised from the sale of emblems which entitle one to membership for four years. The basket ball team made enough money to keep things moving at the school for some time, while the base ball team was also self-supporting. S3

F. CULLEN. THE ROOTERS’ CLUB. THE Hooters’ Club, which, within a remarkably short time, had developed from an infant to a sturdy and powerful ehild, was found to be still in love with our team at the beginning of this basket ball season. Under the leadership of Ross, otherwise “Nig” Baxter, this inspiring club was once more trotted forth on the fields of battle to cheer on to success the valiant boys, who were out for victory. Ofttimes when the boys were so exhausted that they could hardly play, and the team had been running behind in the score and were entirely discouraged, a rousing and inspiring cheer would come hurling across the floor from the boys and girls of the club. This put fresh vigor and encouragement into the boys and the team would immediately begin to come up from the rear of the score. The cheers were fine medicine, and they were also a spur which goaded us on to greater and finer efforts. Upon the departure of “Nig,” the leadership passed into the hands of James Donnelly, and right worthily did he hold up the club to its former standard. He is one of the few who can, by just waving their arms a bit, inspire others to great and many-toned noises. At the two debates, also, the Rooters were on hand in full array, and enlivened the time between their arrival and the beginning of the debates with constant and inspiring cheering. A new use for the club has arisen this year. At the close of the weekly rhetoricals, the speakers are rewarded in a way that falls only to the lot of a few fortunate people. They are given a resounding cheer by the Rooters’ Club, which is more to be desired than gold. Here’s to the Rooters’ Club, that soul-rousing band. We wish them success as we give them our hand.
