WHITEANDGOLD 2t citement among the students Now that the strenuous football season is over, we will be content to arm ourselves with tennis rackets and balls and will have to count our lllovesl, instead of our lttouchdownsf, Didnlt it look like a genuine election to see everybody wearing cards: llVote for Smith for Business Managerh? The Pristis girls and friends had a delightful barge party December 9. The party was chaperoned by Miss Tanner and Mr. Crandall. The basket ball grounds are now in shape. The girls are working hard and have succeeded in raising the. standard of the game. And if in the fu- ture Our Teamli should have the chance to play an outside team, we feel sure our opponents will Hcome up against it? On Thursday morning, November 23, the students and faculty were entertained by Mr. Franks orchestra of the Isis theatre. The music was excellent and the students showed their appreciation by the hearty applause which they gave the llband men. 'When the orchestra started up liThe Son of a Gambolierf, one might judge from tlie sly winks that went around the profs it brought back reminiscences of their college days. The Dog Watch crew enjoyed a merry breakfast on North Island, De- cember Ist. The party left the boat house about half past six and by the time they reached their destination every one was ready for breakfast. The crew report that they had a Tlswell time? , Why not come to the student Body meetings? They are really quite homey affairs. But once you get there donlt be afraid to get up and make :1 motion. If somebody makes a motion that doesnlt please you, get up and express your own Views. If you want your man to be elected donlt sit dig- ging at some lesson, come and put him through or else hold your peace after the election. The last Thursday in every month the students and faculty have the pleasure of listening to Rev. Hinsonls lectures. They are looked forward to with more interest by the students than any other event of the week. Every one has enioyed to the utmost his recent talks on Tennyson. It is hoped by every student that Mr. Hinson will be able to continue his lectures the coming semester. Our football rallies this term were of the most inspiring kind. llThe Jolly Studentll stimulated the boys to do their very best. School spirit is at its height. There is no reason why it should die just because the foot- ball season is over. The coming basket ball games and tennis tournaments will need just as much school spirit to back them as did the football. The Geography Class, under the direction of Mr. Skilling, spent Sat- urday, Nov. 25th, at La Jolla. The forenoon was passed in exploring the old sea beaches. Lunch was served on the rocks. The afternoon was de- voted to examining the new sea beaches and studying specimens, geologi- cal and human. Interest was added to the work by a kodak. Some snap-

20 WHITEAND GOLD To our worthy successors, the class of May, los, we bequeath our well- thumbed, dogea'red corpies Osf Hendersonls Education and the Larger Life, valuable because there is much to be read between the lines tpllainly written in pencill. We bequeath to the Librarian our empty chairs, which will speak for themselves, as we have always done To the Training School we leave the temperature records for future editication, our knowledge tto be found in our note booksl, our lesson plans arranged promiscuouslv and with lack of forethought, and which contain condensed and accurate informatiOn on all subjects under the sun for selfv instruction, a carload of bean bags for work in arithmetic, and, most valu- able of all, our illustrious personality. T0 the Faculty we bequeath our spirit of submissive patience through the dry lecture courses, examinations, and recitatiolns, provided that they make life for the succeeding class as pleasant and ecstatic as ours has been. Should the above requirement not be fulhlled, the here-in-before-mentioned property shall revert to the testators to be used as ammunition in training yuung ideas to shoot! Subscribed and sworn to! before me this eleventh day of December, nineteen hundred five. EMMA SPEARS, Notary Public. Attest: SADIE V.

While Mr. Skilling and Mrs. Graham indulged in a lengthy discussion as to weights and measures, the class inspected the little Cecelia. In connection with the study of the Old Missions, the American Histo- ry class and their friends lthiked out to the ruins of our own mission. Due ring the course of the tramp Mr. Bliss itcalled a halt'i several times, and Squatting on the ground in Indian fashion, the party was entertained by va- rious Indian myths prepared by members of the class. The trip through the mission and the Indian School was wonderfully entertaining and instruct- ive. One of the jolliest functions of the term was a barge party given by the Dog Watch crew a short time ago. They rowed over to North Is- land, where they enjoyed luncheon and returning early enjoyed a plunge at Los Banos. Besides the regular members of the crew, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Crandall, Mr. Bradley, Paulina Black, and Cora Tracy were present. ' The Glaucus crew gave an informal luncheon in the Science laboratory several weeks ago. A dainty spread was served amid artistic decorations. Mr. Crandall, Mr. Bliss and Mr. Thompson were the guests of honor. The Senior class will probably do something startling in the way of a farewell reception this year. They will not let the editorial staff into their secrets but no doubt we will all diacover them sooner or later. ers.
