SCHEDULED GAMES FOR TEAMS MAKE VERY HEAVY WEEK Hatters and Rats Both Have Full Lists for the Week. The Stetson Hatters are in for a big week starting Monday, playing three games and maybe a fourth. They have been making huge strides in developing a fast club and can now meet any team with a strong feeling of assurance. Tomorrow the Hatters will meet their strongest opposition of the season in the Indianapolis club of the American association. Coach Pug Allen, formerly of this university, is (Continued on page 2) 0 CONRAD TEAM HEADS LEAGUE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL'S CONTEST The Conrad team, representing the boys' class of the Stetson University Sunday school, now heads the list in the League standing. Chaudoin Girls' team is second, with DeLand Girls' team third. Miss Thelma Brown leads in batting average, nosing out Bernicie Thompson and J. T. Smith by over 100 per ceut. These tw0 i:re tied for ?;vord j.ace. Great interest was displayed in the Rally day program held by the department Sunday when these highly commendable averages were made. The team standing depends upon the number of increased atendance as compared with the number the first -Sunday. The batting average of the individual stands upon the number sought out among the byways and hedges and brought to the class room for the Sunday class. The program Sunday was enliven- i ed by the Stetson Orchestra, a few | members of which were present, giving two delightful numbers on the program. The University class are .grateful to these including Miss Miriam Munn, Miss Alene Lynck, Miss Lois Hon, Dana Faulkner and Gale Huntington. A male quartette, composed of Dana Faulkner, Jake Edmunds, Donald Faulkner and Prof. H. C. Garwood, sang very beautifully a sacred number. Prof. Garwood read the ' lesson and taught the lesson to the combined classes.

Beta Phi faternity of Stetson University entertained their initiates with one of the finest banquets of the year Saturday night at the New Putnam Inn. This event is the annual initiation banquet of the old girls of the order to their new members . The'new initiates are: Elsa Baa- (Continued on page 2) CHORAL SOCIETY AND GREEN ROOM PLAYERS ENTOUR Thursday Morning Starts Song Birds and Actors South. The Green. Room Players of Theta Alpha Phi, presenting "Witching Hour," and accompanied by Stetson's Orchestra; and the Choral Society, composed of the Men's and Girls' Glee Clubs, are making their journeys through the Southern part of the State this week. The Dramatic Club leaves Thursday for Kissimmee and Arcadia. The Song Birds *lso leave Stetson the same day for Tampa and St. Petersburg. The editor spent last Thursday in St. Petersburg, and while there made some final arrangements for the Choral Society's concert. Rev. Poul- son, pastor of the First Baptist Church, the organization sponsoring the Concert, bespoke himself of a great confidence in the outcome of the performance. The Sunshine City looks forward to the coming of Stetson Glee Clubs. The Kissimmee brass band arte sponsoring the presentation of (Continued on page 2) OSHIHIYI ANNUAL STAFF BRINGING WORK TO FINISH Edmunds and Henderson Doing Overtime to Finish on Time. The Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity page for the Oshiyihi has been plotted and finished by W. H. Collier and is now ready to be sent with the last shipment to the engravers who will make the plates for the printing. This fraternity picture, not' so much by the beauty of the subjects, for everyone knows on the campus that the Phi Kaps are not noted for that characteristic alone, but because of the unusual fine work in designing the page, will be remembered by all who receive their copies of the Annual. The Orchestra, the Glee Clubs and various clubs and organizations over the campus have made all the arrangements for their p nisegaRDLU rangements fro their pages in the Annual. Under the supervising eyes of Ollie Edmunds and Charles Henderson the 1924 Oshiyihi is blooming into what will be considered the finest of all Annuals. (Continued on page 2) BASKETBALL MEN RECEIVE LETTERS FOR YEAR'S WORK Covington Made Captain of 1924-25 Team Election. in The varsity basketball men were awarded their letters for their work today, by the athletic committee. The Hatters finished the season successfully and have an enviable record. Their trip into the north gave the Green and White a name throughout that section and all over Florida. They played five games, winning three and losing two. They trimmed two Savannah quintets the Protestant club and Jewish Alliance, and Charleston college in Charleston. The games lost were to North Carolina State, 23-16 and Elon college, the latter affair being a 19-19 tie at the end of playing time, but was lost in the extra five minute period. The men receiving letters were Covington, Crombie, Smith, Ossinsky, Teare, Tribble, Hobson, and Riette. The latter as manager Stetson has a splendid background upon which to build a team next season. Five of the above letter men will be back: (Continued on page 2) ''"'"'• • ' ■ ".; THE LIBRARY ORGAN RECITAL OF MERCEDA LLOYD IS HIGHLY APPLAUDED DAYTONA LEAGUE TEAM IS HELD BY STETSON TO 5-1 Stetson Organ Pupil Gives Several Beautiful Numbers. On Tuesday evening Miss Merceda Lloyd, a pupil of Mrs. Mary E. L. Browne, gave the first organ recital of the year in Stetson auditorium. There was a large and most appreciative audience present. Miss Lloyd, who has been studying organ for only the past two years, gave a splendid entertainment. To quote a faculty member who is an able critic: "It was more than an average concert; it was extraordinary." And indeed, it was. Every number was very well rendered and greatly enjoyed. The third and ffith numbers, especially, met with much applause. The Misses Dorothy Dietz and Per- sis Burns assisted Miss Lloyd, each singing in her usual pleasing manner. We are always glad of the op- poi-tunity to hear these young ladies sing. Miss Lloyd received many beautiful roses. The following is the program of Thursday evening, the singers being accompanied by Miss Dorothy Mosiman and Miss Anna Van Ness: Sonata in C Minor—Guilmant. Fantasie in E Minor—Silver. Cradle Song—Fritz Kriesler —Miss Dietz. Jubilate Deo—Silver. Uastorale in A—Deshayes. Aria-Vos Sapete from he Nozze di Figaro—Mozart—Miss Burns. Spring Song—Mendelssohn. Grand Offertoire de St. Cecile— Bastiste. Daytona Islanders State Leaguers Held by Hatters. Last Tuesday the Hatters journeyed to Daytona, and met the Islanders in a spring exhibition game. It was a good game, and the Hatters out hit and outplayed the league men, but dumb base running .and failure to bunch hits finally caused their downfall. Coach Whitnell's charges madfe eight hits, as tQ seven for the Daytona crowd, but they were well scat tered, and the boys were only able to turn them into two runs. Our team is improving right along, tho, and it will be a great day when we tie into the Cubans from the University of Havana, tomorrow. Every man is going in there with the idea of turning the Cuban stars away on the small end of the score, and with that kind of a spirit, the boys just can't be whipped. Harrison's pitching again was the feature. He had the Daytona club, one of the hardest hitting in the State League, right where he wanted them, and it was a shame that he lost. However, this lad is a real star for Stetson, and a great deal of our success is pinned on his mound work. I Batteries for Stetson were Harrison and Tatum. Hatters Win from Seminole A. C, 20 to O. The Stetson nine turned in its first big score of the year last week when they beat the Seminole Athletic Club of Sanford to the tune of 20 to 0, in a rather loose game of baseball, in which the Hatter supremacy was so clearly shown that the game was (Continued on page 2.) ART DEPARTMENT OF STETSON WINS ITS RECOGNITION Prof. Fluhart is Building for Finest Work in Art. There is an unlimited field for both men and women in the various branches of art work. And all need Jt to make life sweeter and better. From the humblest kitchen utensil to the grandeest cathedral some form of art is necessary. Every article manufactured depends on art to ' bring it to being, for it must have design, form and color. In many cases the beauty is of paramount importance. Take a course and learn art appreciation. The art department of Stetson University has no equal in any school in the south in point of equipment and for the beginner there is no better art school in the United States. The instructors have had wide experience both in teaching and in practical work. Fine arts-decoration, commercial and applied arts are taught. You are invited to visit the art department. I would like to see a class of mature women and one of girls formed here in DeLand. —Lincoln Hulley. NEVER HEARD OF HER The movies look to all sorts of sources for their material and there have been diggings in many strange fields. One talented young writer thought of trying out mythology. So he went to his general manager with the story of Diana. The general manager viewed with some interest the illustration presented. "Who Is she?" "Diana, goddess of the chase." "Well, she's a pretty fair looker, but we ain't making any more chase pictures." BIGGER STETSON MOVEMENT GAINS HEARTY SUPPORT Trips to Southern Part of State Form Phase Program. Every day some fresh impetus is given to our campaign for an enlarged'Stetson. The old battle cry, "A Bigger and Better Stetson" is daily gaining strength. The motto "Stetson Beat Florida," is awakening our Alumni friends from the far corners of the State and Nation are rallying to the support of their Alma Mater. Letters from them are filled with encouragement and faith. The supporters of Stetson are looking to the present student body for greater things than have even been planned. We have confidence in that body. The Glee Clubs are making the most strenuous efforts this week in two of Florida's finest and most populous cities. The name of Stetson will be on more lips in that section of the state than ever before. The play "Witching Hour" when presented before the audiences of two of Central Florida cities will emblazon the'name of Stetson indelibly on many hearts.

The Stetson Freshmen turned the tables on the Smyrna outfit by defeatinfg them by the score cf 10 to 9. The last time these two teams- met New Smyrna won by the lopsided score of 12 to 0. The results of several real practices was exhibited and the Freshmen are now a team that cannot easily be denied. Coach Ossinsky has built up a fast ball club out of the material that was offered him and from now on will (Continued on page 2.) O BABY HATTERS AND FLORIDA RATS MIX; RATS GET BIG END COLLEGIATE STAFF MEETING IN SCIENCE HALL, 12:45 ON WED. A meeting of the staff, all reporters and assistants in every department of the Collegiate will be held in the Collegiate office in Science Hall at 12:45 on Wednesday, April 2, 1924. Also students who aspire to journalistic work and who would like to be considered possible material for cither, editorial or reporting should be present. ^H The Collegiate is now we feel, the equal of any College paper in the South. We can make it superior to all such periodicals. What has been done we are proud of, but the accomplishments of the past and present are but shadows of the possibilities of the future. A stronger and more complete corps of reporters will be built, either (Continued on page 2) O STATE UNIVERSITY DRAMATIC CLUB IN WELL LIKED SHOW The Masqueraders from the University of Florida put on their annual show, "Now, Listen," at the Athens theatre last Thursday night, and tho they had a very poor house, they did their work exceptionally well, and Director Merrin is to be highly complimented on.his work as director. Each character performed his part in exceptional manner, there being an absence of the amateur that so often is ' in evidence in non-professional productions. It is a difficult task to make 12 or 14 boys into girls, but in "Now Listen" the Masqueraders had a number of "lassies" so daintly that only their voices gave indication of their sex. The opening act took place in the main lobby of a hotel where a dance is in progress. Revealed occasionally by the opening of huge swinging doors Florida i university's crack five-piece jazz orchestra, surrounded by a truly artistic orchestra platform, peals forth its melodious strains. Directly back of the lobby is a ball room, where the dancers trip the light fantastic. The lobby setting represents a magnificent type of modern hotel architecture, declared by Masquerader officials to be one of the keenest sets ever brought to the stage for a college producv'on. The second and final act carries action, of the play to. the exterior. While simple in make-up the settings employed in this act, are most effectively designed to handle the needs of the final happenings. A section of the playing field, where a polo game is being held between two rival college team? for the league championship, and a view of a crowded grandstand are neatly contained in this set. Mell' Wilson, the comedian of the show, was the hit and star from start to finish, and his antics brought round after round of applause. Next (Continued on page 2) Poor fielding and erratic playing caused the Stetson yearlings to lose to the Florida Rats yesterday afternoon by the score of 14 to 5. In the opening innings of the battle it looked as if the Green and White warriors were due to win, but after a couple of errors which netted five runs, their spirits were dampened and Florida slowly advanced a lead that could not be kept down. The team that Coach Ossinsky presented yesterday afternoon was not the same team that he pitted against the New Smyrna lads; it was slower; it used poorer judgment and did not rap the pill as it did last Monday. Something seemed to be wrong; art off day was the only excuse. The Stetson Rats play a far better brand of ball than they exhibited yester- work, j day. Sundy's batting- and fielding: was the feature of the afternoon. Besides getting two hits, one a double, "Doogie" played a marvelous game on first base. Baker pitched a good game, was hit rather hard, but had he had some real support, he would have presented his Coach with a win. Blair pitched real ball for the visitors until the eighth, when the young Hatters rallied to the extent of four runs, and Chaplin replaced him on the mound. Mullens played a snappy ball at short, and took everything in his territory. Lineup and summary: Stetson—Mullens, ss; Sundy, lb; Smith, 2b; Jennings, c; King, rf; Baker, p; Cox, cf; Tribble, If; Bick, 3b; xBlakely, xxxWilliams, xxxMeredith. Florida—MacFalen, rf; Sarrah, c; Boyd, 2b; Housterdoudt, lb; Merrit, Sb; Strickland, ss; Stewart, If; Page, cc; Blair, p; Bush x; Chaplin xx. Hits: Off Baker, 13; off Blair, 3; off Chaplin, 5. Errors: Stetson 6; Florida 3. Umpires: Hargreaves and Gunby. O, Corpus-Juris—alias Wallace Davis, sojourned to Orlando over the weekend. He reports a very restful vacation, but "we know the half has never been told" about many things. We are all very sorry to learn that one of our dear brothers is thinking about moving his residence to New York City. He says that he will be located on thirty-third street. Wonder why "Tut" and Tommy came home from Miami in a rather wrecked and battered condition? LAWmRMNT CALLED SUPERIOR SOUTHERN SCHOOL Stetson Law Library is Held Up as a Model Library. Stetson has, without doubt, one department which is the superior of any like collegiate department in the state if not in the South—her law school. Letters which come back to the school from her alumni who are out in the law courts of the nation are the foundation for this claim. Men who go from J. B. S. U., find themselves better fitted to cope with the problems of a lawyer's career than do those who graduate from any oth- (Continued on page 2)
