men were the first to finish. In the state meet Maine took first place ; in the New Englands, second ; and in the Nationals, fourth ; which was a showing to be proud of. Another Maine Night was celebrated in fitting fashion, and passed into his- tory as one of the biggest times of the year. Many loyal alumni came back, and the rafters of Alumni Hall rang with their hearty cheers. Shortly after, the R. 0. T. C. staged their annual Military Circus, which can certainly no longer be classed as an amateur affair. Just before leaving for the Christmas holidays another campus custom was founded. A huge spruce at the foot of the University Oval was decorated in true Christmas style, and the night before leaving for home, the student body gath- ered around to sing Christmas Hymns and enjoy an entertainment expressive of the Christmas spirit. The first event of importance in the new year, the Maine Musical Club ' s concert and dance, was held in Bangor and Mas a big success as always. Open house week for the fraternities, a plan promoted by the Senior Skulls, took place early in January. All houses on the campus were open to visitors during the week, and everybody took advantage of the opportunity afforded to make new friends and renew the feeling of good fellowship between the fraternities. As the Prism goes to press, a successful basketball season has just been com- pleted. Over half of our games have been won, and the team has showed a fine grade of basketball. Maine ' s Winter Carnival has become a permanent institution and ranks as one of the foremost social and sporting events of the year. For a while this win- ter it looked as if snow would have to be imported, but nature was kind to us, and enough snow fell two days before the carnival to make conditions ideal. Bates won in the sporting events, with Maine taking second place. On the first night, the Maine Masque presented a most enjoyable play, Cappy Ricks , which was followed the second evening by the formal Carnival Ball. The fes- tivities came to an end Saturday night with a house party at each fraternity. In the words of Dean Stevens, We are headed for the rising sun. The foundation of the new Arts and Science building is laid, contracts have been awarded for the construction of the Memorial Gymnasium-Armory, and in a few years Maine will have two new buildings of which any college might well be proud.
