Sophs Swamp Frosh in Baseball Game Friday Afternoon Contest Proves to be Onesided Affair with Upper Class on Top of Score MAILING LIST CUT BECAUSE OF wm Subscribers Whose Money Has Not Been Received _ Off Mailing List Sophomores 9—Freshman 1. The Sophomores swamped the Frosh in their annual baseball clash Friday afternoon to the tune of 9 to 1. The Sophs had far the best team, and a good number were considered by many as the cream of the school tfeague. Culp was the star of the melle with his wonderful fielding at short and his: timely hitting. Jordan and Alderman looked good for the Freshman. Some of the Frosh had never played ball before, but these made up for their mistakes by their good| track Showing in i the morning. The game started to be a rip snorter and for a while it was a pitchers' duel between Mullen and Coker. The frosh scored first in the first of the fourth. Then the Sophs came in for their time at bat and proceeded to hit the apple. They were helped by a good many errors in (he outfield. The sophs were out for blood but the Freshman had won the Class Day with their track work and the Girls' basketball playing. Lineup.

The staff is very anxious to see that every paid subscriber getsi the Collegiate every week; therefore any person on the staff will gladly take any complaints in | regard to delivery, Any person not getting the Collegiate is urged to advise the circulation manager or general manager of such mistake. A large number of Stetson students have been getting the Collegiate every week since the opening of school. This has been sent them on the expectation of the subscriptions being paid before the end of the year. At least such was the promise to the Stetson Collegiate circulation: manager early in the year. It is with regret that it is noticed that little attention is paid to the efforts of trie circulation manager to get these subscriptions paid. Little do these persons who have neglected to pay for their subscriptions realize just how much inconvenience they are causing the members of the staff; little do they realize just how much work it takes to get the paper ready for distribution each week, if they did they would not kick or even neglect to pay for their subscription.. The Collegiate will gladly welcome any payments of back subscriptions for the Collegiate for this year. Immediate action in this matter wil! he appreciated.

Swimming Meet Called Off Because of Condition of Entrants ' Members of the freshmen and sophomore classes enjoyed a delightful picnic and swimming party at Ponce deLeon Springs Saturday afternoon and evening which was held as a finale to the annual events between the two classes at this time of the year. It was planned to have a water meet while at DeLeon Saturday, but as all of the divers and swimmers in the two classes were stiff as a re-sult of the track meet and basketball game the day before, this was not held as it was thought thai the meet would not be successful with the participants not in good condition. Iu the afternoon, many parties availed themselves of the opportunity to go canoeing and motorboating. Just before dark'the crowd gathered around the picuic tables where an excellent picnic lunch prepared by girls from the two classes was served. This included salads, pickles, olives, many kinds of sandwiches, baked beans, cakes, and other good things. At seven o'clock the cars began to return to the campus at the close of a very successful Freshman-Sophomore picnic.

Event Anticipated as Affair of Great Pompt and Ceremony "I wonder who will be May Queen?" For several days now everybody has been asking this—and nobody seems to know. But sh-sh, lean close, and I'll whisper in your ear how you can find out. Come to the Chaudoin campus Saturday evening, and see for yourselfl Watch the Queen sweep gracefully to her throne with her courtly attendant's, maids of honor, pages, train bearers—all her royal retinue, and then the festivities in her honor—you just can't miss those— beautiful dancing and winding of the May Pole.. Then the Queen and her court will move to the Chaudoin parlors where a great carnival will be holding sway. Here you will see students to enliven the spirit, and you will visit booths to delight the inner man, you know, ice dream cones, sandwiches, pop, cakes, punch, cookies, candy—everything good to eat. You'll be there, won't you? CLASSY CARNIVAL SATURDAY. o MAY DAY IN 1925, League Teams Draw Closer As School Nears Its Close Well another week has' just slipped by and the league draws closer. Now that the Tigers have lost two games, the other teams have gotten a hold of themselves, and the remaining games are going to be for blood. The upset of the week was the victory of the Senators, their first, and incidentally the first defeat for the Tigers. It seems like . Cat's team kafst finally found its stride, and now it is out for the bacon. While there's life, there's hope. One thing that the writer has noticed in particular about the play< ing is that though the Senators lost four straight games, never once did they shrink, but every time they played all the men were present out there fighting to the last moment. With such spirit how could they lose? They 'didn't stop fighting when they were behind. Every inan was on his toes until tho last out was made. For example look at Tuesday's game going into the last inning two runs behind and the weak-end of the batting order up, they went to the plate with instructions to wait the pitcher ou., and this they did until the moment came to hit aud then came the bang. A team that won't be beat, can't be beat. The playing grows better with age, and with less than four weeks left to play, it looks like the race will tighten. Some of the teams always have to borrow a man to fill out with. If the players of the teams can't come out and fight for their own team, they shouldn't be allowed to play for some other team. If all the players would turn out when they were supposed to, the games would be very close. The students turned out a little better, last week, but still there is room for improvement. Come on out you lovers of outdoor sports' and see some real games. Just because you saw the first few games"\and didn't like them is no sign th you won't now, as it has been pro .d that the league is growing better with leaps and bounds.—SHAMROCK.

The "Piffies" of Pi Phi were dressed in black with maids' trimmings. At one place delicious punch was served to all the visitors and in another brick ice cream with cookies was served. Each person was pinned with a bow across' which was placed the arrow of Pi Phi. Listen my children and you shall hear Of the Stetson May Day in Spring o' year. 'Twas the second of May in Twenty- live. Hardly a student is now alive That remembers not that day and year. We said to cur friends, "Come one and all At six fifteen on Saturday night To the campus beside Chaudoin Hall. There you shall see in the waning light £4 -V _S toliK-UUliU "fa/;-#7TTS&C^U ail !_TT.. Ascend to herf throne as Queen of May. Garlands of flowers her path shall bestow; The sun's rosy beams shall brighten her way; A silvery new moon from the darkening blue As dances begin will light up the scene To liven the hours of our 'Stately May Queen. The, day, as predicted, dawned, cool, and clear. A glorious day for the Spring of the year. Early that evening folks began to assemble 'Till soon the campus did a garden resemble. And then, as fire twinged the clouds in the west A growing murmur o'er the multitude passed. 'The Queen—the Qjueen, here comes the Queen!" Ay, there she camps, with her royal train Her pages and couriers, all ot them faith To gladden our ey*es with this beauteous scene. To her throne she ascended, having been fiowrer-crorwned. Flowers bedecked her; all the a!r round Was filled with the scent of blossoms of May. Then the dances began to amuse our new Queen. Ne'er was more hieautiful gracefulness seen, As there 'neath the light of fading day Fair maidens danced and wound the May pole. But then all too soon velvet darkness stole Over the earth and the stars all did shine Frim a violet sky over whispering pine, Gone was the May Day—gone did I say? No, children, no, it shall never depart For this beauteous scene lives on in my heart— Lives on in my heart for ever and age. o— FROSH WINNERS OF DUAL TRACK MEET ON FIELD FRIDAY Pretty Running and Jumping Seen in Clash Between Lower Classes CLASSY CARNIVAL SATURDAY. —o ALPHA XI DELTA INITIATES FIVE Alpha Xi Delta announces with great pleasure the initiation of Laura Barnes, Sybil Williams, Tommie Lee Redding, Adelie Keen, and Mrs. Lois Walsh of St. Petersburg.
