Ori Tuesday, October l3, Richard Bonelli Came to Oberlin. Bonelli, once a student of mechanical engineering at Syracuse, Uni- versity, was advised to take up singing. Reluctantly Bonelli studied singing for some Years merely as an avocation, working at odd iobs here and there at the some time, S0 that he could continue his education. When the opportunity came to sing in opera Bonelli was ready to take it, and in i932 he 5lQI'1ed a contract with the Metropolitan Opera Company. According to a well-known reviewer here is one of the world's voices handled by One of the most intelligent and inspired Of men. ln the death of Doren Lyon, Oberlin Col- lege has lost a most faithful and highly val- ued worker . . . He was perpetually genial and splendidly cooperative . . . He was a good workman, a good chief, a good col- league, a good companion. He lived a good life, and will be remembered in affection and in honor. -Ernest H. Wilkins. ' X. K V ,A U ,,,,--fr' . . ' wi f W x A 'X K 'sxxsw . xW KNHX ' A . xcg-r V CX Q gs - gsxg V .

The fire engine furnished the smoke, and Das- comb tried the fire, which resulted in the burning of a few dresses and some coats. The af- fair gave the laddies a good chance to show off the advertising which later brought in the dividends. The O Club and the Women's League were to blame. lt seemed that Oberlin students did not make enough noise at the football games . so the O Club and the Ladies' League started an Anti-Anti- Noise Campaign. Their first move was to have segre- gated seating at the football games with the men sitting in the top section of the stadium, and the women at the bottom. For a while, the plan was successful. According to the Review of October l3 Men come to the football games, women come to the same games. Some come alone, some come in groups. A few come without dates, at least a few come with dates. A few men deposit their dates in the women's section and call for them after the game, quite a few sit with their dates. The cheering was much better at that game . . . but not any more than at any winning game. Once in the corner where the Talcott walk comes to the W. College-S. Professor corner was the famous Talcott Tree. Used as the campus sign board till there was no more room for a tack to be driven in, it was cut down in l92O. Several attempts have been made to replace it. This year an elm-a seedling from the historic elm--was planted on the fiftieth anniversary of Talcott, and perhaps by Talcott's hun- dredth anniversary the new Talcott tree will have reached sign board size again.

Saturday, October 24, found Oberlin Cam- pus invaded by 900 inquisitive high school students, teachers, parents, and friends who came to participate in High School Day activities from eleven nearby states. Of these, 336 took part in the competition for scholarships, the value of which amounted to 55400. Instead of the usual intercollegiate foot- ball game, the high school students wit- nessed intramural contests, lab demonstra- tions, and an Oberlin Review. Those who cared to remain, took part in the Annual Campus Carnival which was held that evening under the big top erected between Warner and Peters. Late that evening special busses were crowded with sleepy high school boys and girls over-laden with toy-balloons, canes, and candy dolls. ' The Y. M. C. A. has held Wednesday night square dances regularly in Warner Gymna- sium in an. effort to revive interest in the fast-dying folk dances of our country- Grapevine Twist, Ducky Dive, Ocean Wave. The large attendance has attested their success. 'Ns-X During the month of October the W. A. A. made an effort to demonstrate to the students the three techniques of the mod- ern dance by the work and lectures of four artists of the modern dance, Conna Bell Shaw, Lillian Shopero, Katherine Litz, and Jose Limon.
