one to Colby. Among other organizations that have recently been formed, the Newman Club and the English C lub stand out prominently. I he latter spon- sored a big undertaking in securing a visit to Maine by the famous poet Vachel Lindsay. The M” Club and the Men’s Musical Clubs combined this spring and under the direction of Mr. “Hal. Moon of Bangor, put on in Bangor ( ity Hall the biggest show that the University has ever produced. No expense was spared and the brilliancy of the show was beyond comparison. Much credit is due “Buck Fifield who, as president of the “M” Club, got the show started. With the warm days of April came the death of Bananas III, our faithful bear mascot. Her skin has been saved for the union building which will some day decorate our Campus. The Maine-Spring, the literary magazine which started a year ago, has nearly finished its second year of life, and has grown in size and quality until it compares favorably with any similar college publication. The Mainiac, also started last year as the college comic, has led rather a spasmodic life that has been jeopardized by ineligibility and other difficulties. It has recently been taken over by Sigma Delta Chi, the journalistic society, and promises to have a brilliant future. As our printer calls for this copy the Blue of Maine skies is growing Bluer. The past has been splendid; the future looks better yet. We are about to inaugurate our new president, Dr. Clarence C. Little, who comes to us as the youngest college president in America, and promises to be the man our Alma Mater needs. During the past year we have completely won over the state officials to our cause even to the extent of a plank in the Republican party. Maine’s financial difficulties should be at an end. Alumni Secretary “Pep” Towner is making lavish preparations for the Pageant which is to be a fitting recognition of the Fiftieth Anniversary. In our immediate horizon our track team is looming large after a victory- over Holy Cross. The baseball team has just completed its New England trip, playing a brand of ball that has made Boston and other city dailies comment favorably on the “down-east” team. Thus another year in Maine’s history is about to be a thing of the past; its effect is a bigger and better Maine, with a sure foundation for future building. 12
