BLUES SING TtuUMPHAL1s,' As WHITES TURN ENVY-GREEN When the Blues gazed into that crystal 'hall at the beginning of the year and found what fates inlhu-tu-od their destiny, they were any- thing but Blue. 'l'ho tirst vic-tory the oracle east. to them was the winning of the Hockey annie-tliat over stimulating and shinveruok- ing gums- which the Olympit-ds place near the lop. 'l'hey were still kind after tliat, and without arousing the warth-like jealousy of the eternal prophets and still supporting: the Blue honor and untourehableness, they deemed them worthy ot' exeelling in that miniature 1-omhat, ping-pong. Anne Bowen, the champion pinger t'rom lhtltimore, whieh from all appearaiu-es must be a ntodt-rn Parnnsstts, still upheld her age- olrl reel-rd ot' keeping the itsy-bitsy tennis lntll on the tahle.

Bt-fore the I-Im-key game could pro off there just had to he a stunt night and as on all Arabian nights, Ali Baba and his forty eompuniuns were snatched front their groove and did some right eotnmendal.wle acting.

'l'lu- ohjeet ol' the rare is for the runners on eaeh team to capture for their side what- ever vantage point will be most favorable to tlu-in or most unfavorable to the other side, So woe be unto the Blues when the XVhites GRANT,S GRENADIERS Vow TI-IEY,LL DRAW Blue BLOOD When the members ot' the NVhite team peeped in thru the bull-rushes last September and t'ound Elizabeth Grant lying in ft basket labelled t'Captain, they knew that destiny had pointed out the way for them. And sure enough it ltad. for under the inspirational guitlatu-e of this enthusiastie G-rand Su- ehctn tlu- Vtlhites have fought tooth and nail against their older contetnporaries, the Blues, in battle after battle on tennis and basketball eourt, hockey field and ping:-pong lable. Their most notable prize captured to date is the Fall Tennis Championship capped by Comrade O'Neill: while in tlu- other tilts they have given the Blues the hardest com- petition sinee Chaucer, with at least five Blue nervous hreakdowns caused by strain to their credit. So even if they didn't get all the prizes. at least the foundation tlu-y've built has made them strong enough to mow down all contenders next year. And here's to 'eml Parle Springs, Ahoy! Blazers Declare Divielencl Calendar event of the Fall for the Blazer Club was n two-day fiesta at Danvi1le's most fashionable suburban summer resort-Park Springs. during the tirst part of October. For one long and luscious week-end, over it seore of ambitious switnnu-rs, rowers, l1lkGl'S, gossipers. tand we eve-n had our C'ard-Shark Foursomel made mad and merry in the rambling villa overlooking the green banks of the mirror-like lake. Of course we might make mention ot' the spaeious suites we occupied-two Blazes to a mattress with at least three feet between domains: or the refreshing shower that eamg tumbling: in through open sereens in our three c-xposnred retreat-hut' it's only the thoroughbred club members who might ap- preciate that seeming disadvantage and they have already! Nevertheless it was a whooping-up hit: event for all concerned and even the eom- munal cooking system brought forth no ugly retorts. Our only complaint is that the Blazer Club we-ek-end parties are too few - . Iwnf HH., Sprint fm. the dining rlmm doors' and too far between, Frosted Malted Sandvvlches and the Melancholy Maidens had to crawl tltru the windows for all meals that day. Or think of the discomtitnre of Miss Bessie , who had to enter her own studio via the step-ladder route because the vicious little lllut-s had tat-ked their symbol on lu-r door. But sonu-body always grets at laufrlt out of . it and then ton, t:here's always the possi- bility that next time it may he you!
