What's up, called the small curious Freshman to the besmeared, be- painted and singing Juniors one May day last year. 1919's up, retorted Jake. The freshman gaily laughed at the upper classman's spirited retort, closed her window and commenced her history outline. But the Juniors were not through. Books were below par for 1919 on that famous night. The immodest boathouse was to be given her first coat. The building certainly was a bad imitation of anything but a Hunkie shed; a boarded-up sloping tar roof affair that was the boathouse of C. C.before. But in the hands of Kofsky, Mad and Jake, buckets of paints were destined to change the external appearance. Although these wholesale artists did not swing on a ladder, held to the roof by ropes,the building was not quite high enough, you seethey did splash paint around with the carelessness of sub- assistants ensconced in mid air. However, no day laborers ever travailed with the energetic rigor of ambitious 1919 as they camouflaged the boathouse. Colors shrieking to be separated lay side by side. Orange made itself promiscuous next to blue and red. The Irish national color disguised many boards. On the roof their numerals shone resplendentlya hydroplane, many feet in the air, could clearly discern the 1919. On the left side Eli's little sister was printed. O, it was a work of hand painting! The grass trail leading from the car station to the boathouse bore their trade marks. White arrows designated the direction to their exemplification of the art of camouflage. What could the pioneer class of a college already three years old do? Declare ownership to an unpainted receptacle for boats guaranteed thief- proof with a submarine base across the way and many camouflaged boats steaming up and down. They eame, they saw, and they vigorously bettered conditions. A, A. 21,
