The auditorium had been lighted in blue and gold and moonlight waltzes had given color to the evening. Many faculty members had been dancing that night and it had been a real get-together. The Inter-Dormitory programma makeshift scrap of paper, was placed beside the others. It had been so near Halloween that corn and autumn decorations had made the 01d gym lovely. Great sheaves of Egyptian corn with heavy golden heads had banked the walls. The lights had been a golden glow and every one a little'silent and dreamy, brooded over by the spirit of autumn. In sharp contrast to this came the reminder of the noisy, brilliant Legion Ball. It had followed a day of celebration and excitement. The Sophomore Dance a week later had marked a colorful close to the campus dances for the fall semester. With a sigh she laid them down and turned to the remaining ones. There were not many, the spring semester had been short of dances because of the Foot and Mouth disease quarantine, but before its ban there was the Erosh dance of February first.

Smokes for the occasion were donated by the local stores who says they were not appreciated? Mr. Forrest Plant, an old California graduate and an ardent backer of the Aggies, delivered the ttpiece de resistanceal and heightened the interest with a story about a man who t6shot off his face? Captain Klingaman responded for the team and Manager Avery gave us a line on the worries of a football manager. - A Basketball Smoker Rally was held on Febru- ary 14, under the direction of Rally Committee Chairman Howard Burnett. Christensen,s Orchestra had been procured for the evening and delighted the assemblage with strains of harmony. Mayor Ander- son told us what the Aggies meant to Davis and how he liked to see the old Aggie Spirit at its best. Captain VVetmore spoke for the team which was to leave in the morning to play a two-game series with Nevada. He stated that every man was out to win With all the fight he had in him. At the conclusion of the Rally things looked blacker than tta nigger shoveling coal at nighth for Nevada. If there is one thing to be remarked upon in summing up the years work, it is the splendid co- operation between the Rally Committee and the Campus Public. But there is more than one thing to be remarked upon. For instance there is the ushering job at all the games, the reception of visiting teams, the inciting of a large turnout to assembly, and last, but not least, the distributing of smokes at the Smoker Rallies. All these things have been done and well done by this yeafs Rally Committee.

In the past years Jitney F air has been one of the big events of our Spring semester. This year, due to Stockmants Week, Picnic Day, and numerous other activities, it was decided to hold it in the Fall. The plan heretofore was to have each organization or group put on an individual show in a separate room, charging a separate admission. This plan worked all right, but the overhead for lumber, carpenters, lights, etc., was so high that the profits were cut down materially. As Jitney Fair is mainly a money making proposition to replenish the athletic fund, a new scheme was devised this year. It exceeded all expectations in its success. Instead of the individual shows, as in the past, all were combined as a ttVodvil? The stage in the auditorium was utilized for this purpose, and with the help of an excellent stage crew, everything went very well. As usual, the dance was held in the auditorium after the ttVodvilf, The result of this plan was easily realized after a statement had been drawn up. The attendance was about the same, but the profits were easily five times as great. The credit for the success of this plan is due mainly to Harold Woolsey, who was in charge of the ttVodviltl, and to the men who put on the stunts. Prizes were given out for the best stunt, and for the best actors and actresses. The consensus of opinion was that the same plan should be followed in future years, to make Jitney Fair less work on the part of the actors, and more of a success in a financial way. gm State Fair Stock Judging The general livestock advanced judging class started their work in the Fall with a contest held at the California State Fair, Sacramento, Saturday, September 1, 1923. This was a preliminary to the final contest at Portland. Out of twenty contestants, William iR.

Greaser was second high man, winning third in dairy cattle and swine with H. M. Wilber third, winning first in sheep. R. F. Brace, second in sheep, was fourth, and R. Peacock fifth. t In the morning two classes each of horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, and sheep were placed, reasons being given on one class of each in the afternoon.
