In place of the former custon of leaving the freshmen to shift for themselves, thus making their usually difficult first term doubly trying, the Lower Cs are warmly received in the Study Hall at the beginning of the term. Instead of misdirecting them in all ways imaginable, as was the custom in the ugood old days, the Seniors meet them there, make them feel at home, and give them valuable information concerning the student body and its extra-curricular activities. QF 'F Sf I I ll ,i The effects of this new attitude toward the Lower Cs was evidenced this term by the unusual enthusiasm which accompanied all their activities. The council, guided by Mr. Hintz, was ably handled and early in the term arranged for the payment of dues at fifty cents per student. A debating tournament was very eH'iciently managed and was won by Section 101. The various debates were completed by the end of March and the class team was picked from the men who had distinguished themselves in the course of the matches. Baseball and boxball tournaments were also held which had entries from every one of the English sections. The council further distinguished itself by arranging for a Rally, a rather unprecedented event in Harris for a Freshman class. The class also issued a paper this term known as the L, C, Gossippef' The freshmen deserve great credit for this undertaking since their publication was far superior to the rather futile one supported last term by the present U. C. class. In addition to its attractive title the Gossippe was comparatively well written and edited, and undoubtedly will in time be one of the finest class papers in the school, The officers of the class are: Premlenz ................................. ...............
