SOCIAL EVENTS whid; baffl!*a 7taiJ! p*^ members ot the class thought that, OF THE WEEKithey had had similar experiences, though they disliked to carry the analogy too far). As a matter of fact, most of the conversation dealt with Hallowe'en occurrences, aud Mr. Sheddan made some startling revelations concerning his artistic tendencies. He takes his subjects from nature and his animal paintings are sure to win distinction. When all were inwardly satis^ fled—and even more—the compa ny retired to the parlors, where a most enjoyable evening was spent in drawing contests, corn cornering and last, but best of all, a prolonged and spirited game of muggins. When the class was dismissed they all agreed that it had been by far the most enjoyable session of the year. Those present were, Messrs Mickle, Ed. Mickle, P. Botts, Hendricks, Walker, Robinson and Sheddan. Everybody regretted that Mr Chaffer had to "cut class" that night, having been called out of town. . PREPARATIONS FOR NEW GAMES Apparent Dullness, but Practice Continues. Dean Smith Entertains. Did you ever realize the particular advantages of belonging to either the Mickle family or to the Calculus class (at least the masculine part of it)? If not, you would have been thoroughly con vinced had you seen the crowd that gathered at Dean Smith's residence last Saturday evening at six o'clock. It must have sent joy to our dear professor's heart to see the alacrity and cheerfulness with which his darling students came to this irregular meeting of the class. It most certainly sent joy to the hearts of the darling students when they were "all sent to the board at once" and saw the many good things with which that board was laden. Those who were physics students viewed the "pile of plates" with an in terest seldom manifested in the class-room. It was also noticed by these physics students that The gaieties of Hallowe'en played havoc with the second team last week, and for several days they were unable to form a line up. Even the first team seemed to be affected and possibly it is for the good of our reputation that we have no game this week. However, the team is expected to pull together before the Savannah game on next Tuesday. The second team has an offer of a game with the Riverside team but it is not known yet if it will be accepted. BASKET BALL. The girls are practicing basket ball now and have a squad of about fifteen from which to select a team. Miss Erwinna Gaulden, guard of last year's team, is the only member in the University this year, so a practically new team has to be built up. This is always discouraging. New material never compares well with old players. But the girls are work- Dignity and Moonshine. Until recently it was generally be- the forks were vibrating rather Sieved among the students and some I ing with a will and will probably rapidly and apparently in time with the spirit of the evening. Indeed, the forks were kept vi-1 brating so rapidly and so steadily; that the host and hostess were of the good townspeople that the)have a series of games between members of the faculty were incapa-S picked teams this term.

How he did hand' out the good things, and how those students did devour them ! One might think they had been starving themselves in anticipation of this event. It might be expected that I things mathematical would con-! stitute the subject of conversation at such a gathering. Such was, not the case, however, though Dean Smith could not .refrain from referring to a certain log; a number of the younger members of' the faculty to join her in taking a straw ride to DeLeon Springs for a moonlight picnic. The following persons responded Heams to meet any outside teams eagerly: Prof, and Mrs. Baldwin, > with whom games can be arranged. the young ladies from Rollins again this year. TENNIS TOURNAMENT. The Athletic Committee has called for entries in a tennis tournament— both singles and doubles. The object of the tournament is to select two tennis Prof, and Mrs Farrah, Mr. and Mrs. Rosa, Prof, and Mrs. Suhrie, Prof. Staley, and Mrs. and the Misses Hunsaker and Martin. The party gathered at Miss Erhart's house on Friday evening at 6:30. One of Mr. Cranor's fine new wagons, drawn by a pair of spirited steeds, was in waiting to convey the company to the pavil- (Continued on uexf page.) There are good prospects for games with players from both Rollins and Florida. Efforts are also being made to secure games to be played at the Florida State fair. Mr. Roy P. Hamlin has been elected manager of the tennis team. Any one wishing to enter the tournament should hand in his name to Prof, Baldwin.
