GO TO STEED'S FOR SHOES M ®V §trtB0tt M^klg (Mlegtafe Published by the Students of John $. Stetson University. HAVE YOUR SUITS MADE TO ORDER Cleaned and Pressed AT STEED'S VOL. XXVII. SjrTpresent the 1915 annual EIGHTH VOLUME OF OSHIHIYI MAKES APPEARANCE THIS WEEK. By Far the Best Annual Ever Published at Stetson. DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1915. NUMBER 27 The Junior Class, after laboring patiently all the winter long, have been at last able to present to the student body the eighth volume of the Stetson Annual, OSHIHIYI. This volume is easily the best that has ever been put forth by any class of the university. The cuts are excellent; the write-ups are of a high order of merit; the cover design is splendid; the entire book will reflect credit not only upon the class and the board that published it but upon the college as a whole. It is natural and to be expected that the Annual should get better each year. Our school is growing and the Annual grows with it. The 1915 Oshihiyi is larger by 16 pages than any other annual, j The cuts are the clearest that we have seen. And we have.seen. every annual that Stetson has ever produced. The paper is of | high grade. The dark green cover with its gold stamp is most attractive. The selection of Florida scenes is in very good taste. The individual write-ups of the classmen are full of life and scintillating with wit. The poetry is of high rank. Altogether we do not hesitate to deliver this encomium for we believe that the book deserves the best that we can say. We note with interest that the Annual is dedicated to the donor of our new gymnasium, Mr. J. Howell Cummings of Philadelphia. We do not know what inspired this dedication and far be it from us to pass any unworthy comments. But it does seem that the custom so excellently begun last year of dedicating the year book to the Senior Class might well have been continued. The Annual Board this year is composed of Fred Fisher, Marguerite Blocker, Mabel Eldredge, Louis6 Hulley, Stanley Wallbank, and Charles N. Walker. This group °f young people have labored industriously and to them in a very large measure is due the credit °t the excellent appearance of the Oshihiyi. Especial credit is Jue to Fred Fisher and S. T. "allbank. There are two or three cuts of . °rida scenery which deserve par- 1CuIar commendation and com- ^m- The one on page 53 is ^wonderfully realistic picture of I Johns forest growth.

Miss Haynes made a hard fight thruout, taking one set, and carrying the third to five-all before losing, when Miss Hulley had the set 4-2. O CONRAD HALL ENJOYS LEMONADE The young men of Conrad Hall North Wing, were served to hot lemonade last Saturday evening by Rabbi Winner. Some fair damsel in Chaudoin has a mash on Rabbi and sent a box of luscious lemons thru the mail. Rabbi divided with his admiring friends. o COLLEGIATE FORCED TO DISCONTINUE PUBLICATION PI BETA PHI PRESENTS PLAY AMUSING PRODUCTION STAGED IN UNIVEPSITY AUDITORIUM MONDAY EVENING. SOPHOMORES DEFEAT BUSINESS COLLEGE Large Crowd in Spite of Inclement Weather. The Stetson Weekly Collegiate will not appear after this number unless the students come across and pay up their subscriptions. The management is ready to put out the paper until the last day of school if the debts which are outstanding can be collected. — O j— WILL THERE BE AN ORATORICAL CONTEST? We understand that there will be prizes given this year fo the Oratorical Contest. In view of this fact it seems doubtful whether there will be any contest at all. What has become of the six medals listed in the catalogue? In the past, there have always been prizes for these contests and it seems that there are none this year. Stetson is in sad need of more incentive to oratorical contests. Why are there no Sophomore prizes for essays and other prizes similar | to those offered in other institu-1 tions. Now that the medal forj oratory has been withdrawn there { are absolutely no prizes at all i to be offered at Stetson for any! form of student activity. We suggest that if the university will not provide any prizes or medals that the literary societies get together and offer some. There should be regular medals offered each year. A school is not complete without them. The girls of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity presented ir the auditorium last Monday t-rening the entertaining comedy "Miss Fearless and Co." A large audience gathered to pass an evening of thoro enjoyment and were not disappointed. The play was a success from the start and the entire performance reflected mrch credit upon the fraternity 4 Miss Rachel Beatty-without a doubt was the star attraction of the entertainment. She carried out her part to perfection and her impersonation of the homely old country soul was excellent. Miss Beatty was greeted with vociferous applause upon her first appearance and every time thereafter. The other characters were all ably presented. Miss Bessie Gumm appeared to advantage in her difficult Irish part. Miss Ruby Jackson as "Just Lizzie" played her part to the satisfaction of all. Miss Mabel Eldredge and Miss Marguerite Blocker as Misses Alibi and Alias create d mu ^h amusement. Miss Jcsiphine Steed as the hysterical and amorous spinster, was a whole comedy by herself. The other parts taken by Miss Mona Bates, Miss Francis Gardner, Miss Margaret Gilli- land, and Miss Catherine Haynes were well taken and played. Altogether the play was wholly enjoyable and the girls of Pi Beta Phi have reason to be proud of their success. o SENIORS REHEARSING THEIR PLAY -o- Gold has benefited hundreds and ruined thousands. In keeping with the ususal custom the Seniors are planning to) present a class play during Commencement. We understand that) a comedy has been selected which i will include in its cast all the] members of the class. This production will probably be staged on Monday night, May 31. o- PAN-HEELENIC RECEPTION AT HOME OF MRS LANDIS In an interesting nine inning game the Sophomores succeeded in defeating the Bookkeepers last Monday afternoon to the tune of 8—5. Last week they hitched up for this combat but rain called the game in the third inning with the score 4—1. In the first three innings the Business College pi ed up four runs to the Sophs two, and it began to appear that the Lit men were not going to be able to stand the pace. Hale was wild and errors were not especially noticeable by their absence. However, in the fifth, sixth, and seventh, the Collegians got busy and five hits in all, coupled with five errors, overcame the lead and put the game on ice. The Sophomore team was a heterogeniety. In fact there was not much Sophomore about it. Bradley, Junior Law, was catching. Daniels, of the Academy, was playing short. He made three runs himself and was responsible for two more by his hard hitting. Peterson is regular center fielder for the Tech. nine. Turnquist is a Senior in the College of Liberal Arts.

Prof. Guevchenian the Star Attraction. Possibly the explosion of the theory that two can live as cheaply as one is responsible for a good many divorces. The map of the university and campus and the guide attached is very cleverly done. But the musical notation on page 137 has no wonderful cadence nor significance that we can descry. We have not taken the trouble to read the "Trail of the Bird" yet. But we are informed that it is very excellent. Altogether the Annual is a splendid book and one that every Stetson student should possess. Buy one. On Saturday evening, Mrs. Cary D. Landis, a patroness of the! Tri Delta Fraternity will give! a reception to all Greeks in college at her beautiful residence on New- York avenue. o UNIVERSITY CATALOGUE SOON OFF THE PRESS The thirtieth annual catalogue of Stetson University will be off the press in a few days. We understand that there is a slight change in the appearance of the book this year in that it is printed on much thinner paper. This will make a much smaller volume. -o- Prejudice is the daughter of ignorance. At a meeting of the Collegiate Board in Room 5 last Monday afternoon, Mr. F. T. Haskins, 16, was elected Editor-in-chief and Mr. Fred Fischer 16, was elected Business Manager for the Stetson Weekly Collegiate for next year. Both of these gen tk men have had experience in editorial and managerial work and should be able to work together to put out the! best Collegiate that has ever been printed at- Stetson. o Most men who wander around the free lunch circuit daily like to be seen entering a first class hotel. In honor of the convened doctors and surgeons of the State who are gathered here this week under the auspices of the Florida Medical Association, the university gave a quickly arranged program in the auditorium last Wednesday evening. A very large crowd was present, no small part of which was the couple of hundred M. D.'s, who are assembled in our little city. The first number was an organ number by our excellent organist, Miss Evah Baker. Miss Baker played "Poet and Peasant." The next two numbers were addresses by eminent physicians, one the President of the State Association. Miss Myra Wilson sang a solo, and was followed by the Stetson Glee Club. The boys made a big hit and were encored time after time. The Girls Glee Club next appeared and emulating the worthy example of the men, drew from the appreciate audience thunderous applause. Dean Smith appeared in a new role. The members of the Varsity Club have had the. plfssur _ . of hearing him give readings occasionally. But so far as we know this is about the first time that the Dean has revealed his talent so publicly. Those who have thought that he was limited to mathematical expressions were delightfully awakened from that mistaken dream Wednesday night. Another surprise was the appearance Of Miss Constance Waterman as a soprano soloist. We had become accustomed to think of Miss Waterman as a violinist and had been sadly unaware that she has a magnificent voice and so she took us all by strom, as it were. As one of DeLand's worthy citizens and business men remarked, "She can beat her sister." Those who were in school last year and the year before know that this is high praise. The audience received much delight from Prof. Geuvchenian frantic promenades up and down the rostrum. The poor man could not get the crowd to listen to a word he said. As soon as he set foot (which was many, many times) upon the platform the clapping would commence. And in distraction the music prof would announce the next number in a voice drowned with applause, and then gallop off the stage. HISTORY CLASS HAS SONG SESSION Our idea of a mean man is one who spends two-thirds of his time in getting money and the other third in keeping it. Dean Carson's class in European history met in the Y. M. C. A. room Thursday morning where a program of the national songs of the nations of the world was rendered. The Glee Club sang four numbers including "Dixie." Miss Fiske sang three solos. Miss Link sang the ''Wacht am Rhine.'' The French Club sang the "Marseillaise." Miss Sheldon played a couple of numbers on the violin.
