WHITEANDGOLD :5 The usual Freshman reception was held in the early part of the term and was a decided and successful innovation. The first part of the evening s program took the form of a minsti'el show. It was a clever little affair, the songs being catchy and most of the jokes very keen, although there were one or two in which the points were rather blunt. The Rhine Golds gave a jolly little dance at the University Club House, on November 24th, which proved that the crew knows how to do things. The room was trimmed in holly and presehted a very genial air. The Rhine Golds are good hostesses and they tried their best to make all enjoy them- selves, and by the general good time they seemed to have, succeeded. One olf the most highly appreciated events of the season was the Hallow- eien Dance given by the boys; of the N ormal School on November 3d. A dance of the boys, creation being an entirely new feature of the school, much speculating was done on the part of the girls before the dance. This changed to genuine admiration, however, on the evening itself. The music was of the kind that makes one want more, the refreshments had the same quality, the general management: was perfect, and the finest thing of all was the fact that on this memorable evening HOur Boys made their debut. The White Ducks took advantage of the moon and entertained some of the boys on Nofth Island on the evening of November 11th. Before landing a concert was given 011 the water for the benefit of the U; S; S. Princeton The ship,s crew responded heartily and assisted in the rest of the program. Supper was partaken of on the beach, after which the boys fur-- nished the entertainment. The B. N. Bis intend to have a ttbig time before school closes. in honor of Mr. Charles E. Butler of thesenior class. Not being a member at this society at present, he will be initiated at this time as an honorary mem- ber. Mr. Newton Layne will also share the same fate. Although all of a re-i porterls energy has been used in trying to ttpumlp a B. N. B. boy, nothing can be learned about this; mysterious organization except that Sheriff Duffy is ttchief cook and bottle washexm and rules with a mighty hand.

14 WHITEANDGOLD approached within the ten yard lihe twice. This half was Normalsl but they failed to score. The score at the end of the game was Russ 6 Normal 5. In this game Normalsl superiority was due to their perfect team work and not to individual effort. This was due first of all to our coach who worked hard the whole season and second, to the active work of Captain Butler; third, the good field generalship of quarter- back Bigham. During the season a number of rallies were held in which songs were sung and yells were yelled. The X. Y. 25 presented the team with ten dollars to go towards getting school sweaters and on Friday evening Dec. 1, gave the boys a banquet at the Normal. So far fall Athletics have been promising and during the ensuing year further activities will be pursued. Exchang'ef It is customary in school periodicals for a page to be devoted to gentle, friendly criticism, expressing the editor's opinions concerning the contents- of similar papers of other institutions. A department of the White and Gold has been established for this purpose but due to the fact that the petition of. the student body for the White and Gold has so recently been sanctioned by the faculty, it has been impossible tosecure in time for this issue, any periodi- cals from other schools or colleges; therefore our student friends will get off easily this time, onlv to catch it all the harder in our next number. llEvolution, quoth the monkey, llMakes all mankind our kin; Therels no chalnce about it; iTails we lose and heads we winfl-Ex.

16 WHITEANDGOLD term. The girls all said it was the finest crew ltdo'l that has been given this term. The entire house was decorated with Pristis pennants. Progressive games were played on the glass porch, which was decorated with Chinese lanterns and pennants. It was very exciting at the end of the evening when three of the young ladies had to play for the best prize. Miss Cosgrove was the lucky maiden and carried home a beautiful etching. Miss Reeves won the consolation prize. Light refreshments were served and everybody went home happy with a souvenir. The Second Normal football team, composed principally of boys of the eighth and ninth grades, played three games during this season. In the nrst gamewith the University Heights school team, our boys won by a score of II to 0. The Sherman Heights team- won the second game by live points. They were well drilled and heavier than our team. Score 3+0. The last game was played with a team from the United Presbyterian Sunday School, and resulted in a tie, 5-5. Otto Jeager, the mascot of the first team, did good work as quarter; Hilton Johnson of the eighth grade, who was captain, play- ed full back. He has the making of a. good football man in him, and we hope to have him in our ninth grade team next year. In honor of our football team and coach a banquet was given by the X Y Z is on December, which was declared by all to be the social event of the term. The guests assembled in the lower corridor and when all was ready they were ushered into the dining room. The tables were arranged in the shape of a large N and were trimmed with yellow Chrysanthemums and loaded with things of a more substantial nature. Above the tables and on the wall were hung Normal pennants and banners in great profusion. The place cards were in the shape of footballs and made appropriate souvenirs. The program was unique and appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Bliss illustrated the fact that a banquet could be umpired as well as a football game. Mr. Crandall. as the kickoff, spoke highly of the team and showed that much credit was due them for the work done this season. Capt. BUE- ler, as foul tackler, responded to llOur Coachli in a way that made everyone proud that we have a man like Mr. Crandall to coach our team. Miss Spears, as chief rooter, told of the deep feeling ltour girls have for ltour boys? Mr. Orrin Smith as off sideliner, spoke about llOur Girlsli in a very touching manner and suggested to the boys at new line along which to push their energy. Mr. West represented in ,$ $ $, discoursed on Tickets Please! He demonstrated that there was nothing mysterious at all in the title of X Y Z. Miss Gussie Stephens, as dead header, responded to the ttEditorial We. She talked of the ideals of the new school periodical the llVVhite and Gold. Mr. Thompson as Bleacher God, gave the last toast of the evening. After this speech it was decided that football was a good thing.
