It was pleasant sitting about that live-gallon jug and listening to the rain on the windowpane. After all, who went to classes except the Mechanical Engi- neers? In early February we had our exams which were mid-year in everything but the name-the only bright spot in the picture being a new allotment of Cuts. ' W, 4 Gone. Nice dive, this. Hockey games continued along, and on Febru- ary 18 we lost the sec- ond of the series to Princeton, 1-2, having lost the first one, 2-3. Iust a few days after, Princeton again dashed our hopes for a cham- pionship, this time in basketball to the score of 46-26. The swim- ming team, however, continued to take every meet in its stride.

None of us had any money, but that did not bother us, for College Bible. we had lived on credit for over a year anyhow. Harvard came to town on the sixth to beat us on the ice, 4-1, and thus even the series. Two days later by winning again, this time 4-3, we not only annexed the series, but also the Big Three championship. f No one was surprised when ' 'ml the swimming team ended an L , it 'E undefeated season.

How- ever, no such business is without its risks. How that case of beer was hijacked from his window sill was until recently unknown. It should be remembered that engineering students are ingenious chaps and know that wire coat hangers can be made into excellent grappling hooks.
