WHITEAND GOLD 23 track and field work during this season, we have not exerted ourselves to attain notable results. We have, however, been practicing some events, among which are the shot-put, sprinting, cross country runs, jumping and pole vaulting. In the above, some of our records are worthly of note, es- pecially as the men are green at track and field work . In the shot-put the 34 ft. mark has been made and slightly passed; in jumping, 17 ft. or better; in 100 yd. dasah, better than 11 seconds has been done. In cross-country runs all the boys have taken part more or less, with good results. These runs were taken for general physical development, but mostly for developing the llwind. In case a meet had been: arranged, in all probability the men: to take part would have been Sharp and Gurwell in the weights; Wright, Smith and Big- ham in the jumps; Duffy and Downs in the dashes, and Lusk, Barker and Warriner in the longer runSL During the last two years baseball has been neglected,. and nothing has been done in that line. But tlfis year the institution is to have a team that the school will not be ashamed to acknowledge. The material is here and if training can accomplish any results, they will be accomplished. At the beginning of the season the baseball field was found to be in poor condition, consequently the boys have had the job of clearing it of all the small stones and lumps of dirt which the graders left. This has furnished plenty of em- ployment for odd moments and all unemployed time. When tennis was first inaugurated at the Normal, the two courts were continually occupied, from eight in the morning until live in the evening. A schiedule had to be arranged in order to accommodate all those who wished to play. Out of a possible 225 players there appeared 114 on the schedule. Taking this into consideration we can easily see why other sports have been neglected this term. The enthusiasm is not abating as might be expected, but keeps up as it started out, at high water mark. A great many are just learning the game. This necessarily lowers the average standard of playing somewhat, but out of the whole number, some very fair players are being dis- covered. At present arrangements are being made for a girls' toumament to be held during the week of vacation between March 17 and 26. We shall not attempt to compete with outside clubs just now, but we expect an exciting tryout nevertheless. Many entries are being made for both the singles and doubles. Next year in case of any local tournament the conditions will be such that we can enter. In the meantime we shall gain strength and conii- dence by playing match games among ourselves.

24 WHITEANDGOLD One of the most charming society functions of thhs term was a dance at the Wednesday Club house Friday evening, February 16th. The dance was given by the Misses Cosgrove, Johnson, Pierce, Kaidel and Northrup in honor of the Pristis crew. The room- was artistically festooned with Pristis pennants and smilax. Two little girls dressed in white and red passed the programs and presided at the punch bowl. The programs were decidedly unique, the cover being formed of a pennant of red felt on which was a white tTP, the crest emblem. About thirty couples were present and all voted that the Pristis girls were delightful entertainers. At some mysterious time in some mysterious place a stag party was in- dulged in by the B. N. Bts. This happened during the Christmas vacation, but as usual th'e particulars of the meeting were not given to the public. On the Wednesday following Christmas, the Glaucus crew and their friends spent a pleasant evening in dancing at the University Club house. The room was decorated in red and white, the association colorst Fruit punch and wafers were served. The party numbered about fifty and was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Bliss and Mr. and Mrs. Foster. The semEi-annual Freshman reception was given by the A. S. B. on Fri- day evening, February 9. President C. C. Smith made the welcoming ad- dress, which was responded to by Miss Ada West of the Freshman class. The play, ttThe Trained Nurse, was one of the best ever produced in the school. Much credit is due to Miss Godfry for this part of the program. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Because of the nearness t0 the 14th of the month, the decorations were appropriate for St. Valentine, red and white streamers and hearts being festooned from the walls and ceil- ing. Delicious refreshments were served in the dining room, where the same color scheme was carried out. Miss Bryant entertained her class of T05 at her home on February 13. Although it was sometime ago that the Seniors gave their farewell re- ception it is still fresh in our minds. As usual they furnished a very inter- esting program, the principal number of which was Howell's well known farce, ttThe Mouse Trap? The play was interesting and very fitting for the
