rl CAMPUS DAY ' 1 1 1 N CAMPUS DAY the students reluctantly-lay away their books, b-ut are compen- sated by the prospect of some real 'the man labor. They don masquerade costumes and like knights of old start forth in search of adventure. However, in place of lances and shields they carry picks and shovels. They then vigorously attack unsightly piles of rubbish, b-rush and other unnecessary nuisances. By noon the enemy has been completely conquered and they emerge forth triumphant. The private room gang, under the very capable direction of Father Maurus, vigor- ously applied themselves to the remo-ving of unnecessary rubbish and rocks on the hill. The Senior and Junior Halls students, under the direction of Fathers Gerald and Philip, industriously applied themselves to offensive parts of the campus and hill. Father Edward trainedlhis athletes for future chain gang service by having them p-ick up rocks and rake the diamond. As one approached the camp-us one was astonished by the bustling activity at the tennis court..Father Jerome had difficulty in keep-ing his industrious college hall intel-

B., Michael Contris, Virginio Chi- uppa, Harry Sloan, John McCoy, Jack Campbell, violins, Edmund Baine, Richard Smith, iclarinetsg Jack Baty, Harry Tillman, Wayne Taylor, saxophonesg Father Sebastian, O. S. B., bass, Jack Bruce, drums. Dio PRO JECT 1 1 1 HE rainy winter weather occasioned much discussion as to what could be done to lessen the disagreeableness of the rainy afternoons and evenings. Several solutions were offered, but that of a radio, suggested by Fathers Raphael and Gerald, was finally adop-ted. O'Loane, Messner, McCoy, Shanley, Magnano, Lyons, and Campbell were selected as solicitors for the money with which the radio was to be purchased. So- success- ful were they that within a few weeks a powerful set was installed in the Samarco staff-room. Fathers Raphael and Gerald, together with several volunteer electricians, constructed the cabinet in which the set is encased and installed specially constructed loud speakers in the Senior and Junior assembly halls.

,CAMPUS DAY j lectuals from overfatigue. Arnold Baker obtained permission to rest during smokes and Dame Rumor has it that he smokedthree packages of cigarettes. Cottingham, clad in white cords, took his coat off to have his picture taken. Q Clearing a road for himself through valiant but discreet students, the redoubtable Butch Thompson piloted and coaxed the coughing and sputtering Leaping Lena, as he hauled away the loads of debris. I - Mertes, Nett, Carey, Fo-X and Veak, prominent vigilantes, spanked everyone who loafed-until they met the lanky, snoose-chewing Donahue. Although the paddle-squad attacked en masse, Donahue very nonchalantly opened his can of Copenhagen, filled his lower lip-, picked up a baseball b-at and started to act. The injured were removed and Donahue went to sleep again. All in all, the day was ai very enjoyable one, with just enough nonsense to offset the idea of hard work, and yet enough hands to make the work profitable. When the noon bell rang students hurried to the dining hall with lusty appetites, well satisfied that they had spent a profitable mo-rning and that an afternoon' of leisure awaited thgm.
