THE EASTERNER Camp for College Men in Georgia Next summer a Military Instruction Camp for college and high school men is to be held at Fort Ogelthorpe, Ga. This is an excellent chance for some of the alumni of this school to acquire a little military training. In the past summers several students from Eastern have at- tended the camps at Burlington, Vt., and Plattsburg, N.Y. It is safe to say that they have never regretted the time and quaney spent there. Next summer there will be tw. held. The one for “Business Sadr fessional Men” will open on April 3, and will last as long as applications war- rant. The one for students opens on July 5, and will probably last about five weeks. The army officers in charge are making a special appeal to high school seniors and alumni to support the camps. Why not spend five weeks in this way next summer, some of you alumni? The Alumnia Reunion, which was held on the afternoon of December 23, was a success. After the Christmas play a great many of the pupils and alumni ad- journed to the drill hall and took part in dancing before the business meeting. The following graduates were elected officers for the year 1916: President, 17 Dr. M. P. Eslin, 07; Vic e-President, Margaret King, 14; Secretary-Treasu- ter, Albert Fessenden, “09; Executive Committee: C. V, Church, 95; E. R. S. Embrey, 98; James Berry, ‘05; M. S. Farmer, ‘08; E. Diesrud, 11; Edith Martyn, 12; W .Gibson, ‘11; Ray Whit- man, ‘12; Wallace Yater, “14; Catherine Buckingham, ‘13, and Fred Deck, ‘14. After the business meeting refresh- ments were served and dancing was con- tinued until six o’clock. Every one en- joyed himself, and those who did not at- tend missed a good time. Elmer Schwab, of the class of 1915, is attending the Catholic University. Wil- liam Turpin, a graduate of last year, is continuing his education at Fargo Col- lege, North Dakota. Miss Bertha von Preissig, a former pupil of this school, was married in Denver, December 23, 1915, to Lieuten- ant Russell B. Patterson. Lieutenant and Mrs. Patterson are making their home at Fort Yellowstone, where Lieu- tenant Patterson was recently trans- ferred from Washington. LISS The Offer of the College To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count Nature a familiar ac- quaintance, and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard of the appreciation of other men’s work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world’s library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in generous enthu- siasm and co-operate with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, and form character under professors who are Christians—this is the offer of the col- lege for the best four years of your life. —William De Witt Hyde, President of Bowdoin College.

Till it broke against the heaven, And rolled outward all around it. —Hiawatha.

Basketball The basketball season is now in full swing. As yet, Eastern has won only one game, but the members of the team are not discouraged and are working all the harder in order to improve their team work. Practice games have been played with Gallaudet, Alexandria High School, Episcopal High School, and Manassas, while in the Interscholastic League the team has met St. Albans, Business, Central and Western. The team is gradually improving with each game and in February should be greatly strengthened by the addition of several players, namely, Blake, Tomlin and Thomas. In the first game of the year, Gallau- det won easily by a score of something like 52 to 18. McGlasson, Barr, Boteler, McAuliffe, Swem, Baldwin, Cummings, and Saegart were the Eastern fellows who got in this game, and they showed plainly the lack of practice. In the opening game of the Interscho- lastic League Eastern was defeated by St. Albans by a score of 42-10. The slippery condition of the floor caused the players to have an uncertain footing, and consequently the game progressed rather slowly. As this was the first time the members of our team had played on such a slippery floor they were quite handicapped. Captain McGlasson did most of Eastern’s scoring, securing 7 of the 10 points.

Our team played much better than it did in the first con- test, McGlasson, Cummings, Barr, and Roteler producing a good passing game. Culligan was the STAR of the game, he alone getting 28 points for his team. The line-up: Eastern Pos. Business McGlasson...-...-- Bee Culligan Cummings, Baldwin. R.F......B. Wise Swem.

Although this was a victory for Central by a score of 22 to 13, it was not until after a close struggle that Cen- tral was able to register enough goals to win. Eastern played a good defen- sive game, guarding Central very close-
