DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1915. NUMBER 4 COUNTY JUDGE PATTISHALL DEAD STETSON STUDENTS EVERYWHERE MOURN HIS LOSS Was Both Student and Instructor Whi e Here—Took Prominent Part in School Activities. Tucbe D. F. Pattishall died at 530 A. M. October 20th at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. His death followed an operation which he had undergone at this hospital during the latter part of Juy. Judge Patti- sbal was buried at West Palm Beach. The demise of this well known jurist is cause for mourning by all knowing him, and especially those of us who were once his schoolmates. There are many yet on the campus who can well remember Dean Pattishall, although but few of us knew him as judge. While a student at Stetson Judge Pattishall was connected with every form of activity hat stood for good and advancement. He was a prominent member of the local fraternity, Nu Sigma, which is now represented by Sigma Nu. In the literary societies he was one of the big men of the school, a brilliant and steady worker, and while many things did not receive his personal support as did the literary society, yet everything good was eagerly appreciated and encouraged by the deceased. Judge Pattishall was and is, an honor to his school. From the teacher's desk in a small country school, through Stetson University, to the State Legislature and later to a Judgeship, winning his way by great sacrifices and hard work, is the career of the deceased Judge. Those characteristics which won the admiration and friendship of his fellow students at Stetson, won to a greater degree, if possible, the respect of all knowing him in public life. He was considered one of the finest judges m the State and his fairness in meting out the law gained him Sreat popularity without, as well as within his own jurisdiction. D- F. Pattishall was born in Georgia and after completing school became a teacher, later coming to this State, his first school in h-orida being at Bassenger. He also taught at Lake City, Jasper ^ Plant City and supported himself while at Stetson by this means. After a short practice in aw he was sent to the State Legislature from Hillsborough County. *l the adjournment of the Legis- ature Judge Pattishall returned 0 Stetson and was for awhile 0ne of the faculty. Later he be- ^ a partner of Judge W. I. Metcalf and moved to West Palm each. Upon the resignation of bounty Judge j B Adams be- ^ of failing health, Judge Pat- lshaH was appointed by the Gov- 0r to fill the unexpired term 0f the former. rr°m the time of his appoint- ent Judge Pattishall's health was EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. The old fashioned spelling match of the Eusophian Literary Society proved to be a great success. Marjorie Blocker proved to be the erndite lady and stood up longer than any one. How many of you could spell "piccadilli?" About ten girls went down on that old friend, that they have eaten all of their lives. Viola Radford succeeded in spelling "rat" successfully, altho she felt quite insulted at having to represent the Freshmen as a whole. Besides the spelling match, a selection from " " by Stephen Leacock was read by Mary Louise Wilson. The program committee is planning a series of humorous programs to break the monotony of a number of serious ones. Some one has rumored that the Eusophians are to have one meeting devoted to "Fords." Come and get a new supply of jokes. KENT CLUB. BASKETBALL. VESPERS. Poor term of A. few days after the July ^ndit court had convened, his ion became so serious that Continued on Page 4 Kent Club Friday evening was a great success. A good crowd was present and a very interesting program was rendered. The debate of the evening was:— Resolved, That the Resignation of Secretary Bryan Was Justified. Affirmative—Junkin and Jordan. Negative—Coleman and Kelley. The judges of the evening were Miss Nell Hathcock, Mr. Young and Mr. Donovan. Their decision was rendered i n favor of the affirmative. The second feature of the program was a reading by Haskins. The next and last number on the program was Parliamentary Practice by Mr. McCutcheon and from the very able manner with which he handled such an unaccustomed job, it is safe to predict that this gentleman will make a Cracker Jack lawyer. o VARSITY CLUB NOTES. The Varsity Club met in its room last Friday evening, with a marked increase in the attendance. It is gratifying to see so many new members becoming affiliated with literary society work. The Club desires the affiliation of all college men, and all who have not as yet joined such should join at once. Consider the statement made by the President upon the value of such literary work and heed his advice. The program was as follows: Peterson gave the situation of the World War for the week, Hulley gave a paper on National Preparedness, Varn gave a recitation and Fischer a reading. Chas. Walker acted as chairman during Parliamentary Practice. Prof. J. Archy Smith, who is the Club's critic, gave a careful critici m of the program and of them who participated. Note—In the Collegiate of Oct. 22, under this topic the decision of a debate was reported as going affirmative. This was a mistake on the part of the reporter. This debate was won by the negative which was upheld by Northrop and Emerson. Thursday night, Oct. 21, the Elizabeth Hall and Conrad Hall teams met in a contest in the Gym. This game was close and exciting. However, one feature of it was the poor shooting by both sides. Of course it is too early in the season to expect great results but it seemed at times as if a goal was an impossibility to any of the participants. Conrad Hall started off with a rush, but failed to hold its lead very long. The final score was 14 to 11 in favor of Elizabeth Hall. The line-up was as follows:— ELIZABETH HALL C'DNRAD HALL Peterson C Jennings Hodgden R.F.._...''.Hon Harkness .....L.F '\Crim Hulley L.G .Worcester Walker R.G .Curran Umpire and Referee- -Coach Hollander. Time Keeper and Scorer—Lloyd Fenno. Second Gar; e. Saturday night at 7.45 Elizabeth Hall and Chaudoin Hall met in 1 a contest for supremacy. The Chaudoin Hall team has been re-named the Outlaws and perhaps that was the reason they did not win by any larger score- than they did, as the dope favored them strongly. The game was perhaps the best one of the series so far. The Boys are beginning to show the effects of their training and coaching. To the surprise of all, at least to those knowing the teams, the Elizabeth Hall aggregation started off in the lead and succeeded in maintaining it, during the first half. The Outlaws were not able to make any goals thru the efficient work of the opposing guards. But in the second half, the defense became more ragged, and individual work on the part of the Elizabeth Hall team caused them to lose the lead. When the whistle blew the score was 14 to 8 in favor of the Outlaws. The majority of the students witnessed this game, because it was Saturday and studying was , therefore of secondary importance. •Such support is doubtless appreciated by the players. It makes the game seem of more importance than a daily scrimmage. The line-up was as follows:— ELIZABETH HALL OUTLAWS Hulley G Baskins Harkness F .Gardiner Hodgden F Minder Walker G Junkins Peterson C .Rutherford Score—Elizabeth Hall, 8; Outlaws, 14. Referee and Umpire—Coach Hollander. Time Keeper and Scorer— Lloyd Fenno. o RAY-WALKER. At four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the Vesper bell rang out its welcome. The people flocked to the auditorium from all directions and the chapel was soon filled. Dr. Hulley gave a very stirring talk on "The Practice of Self Denial," in his usual striking manner. He showed plainly Christ's example and how to pattern after Him. Mr. Cairns sang the Holy City in his beautiful tenor voice. The choir, under the direction of Prof. Guevchenian rendered "Ye That Stand in The House of The Lord," by Spinney. A special attraction at Vespers next Sunday will be the rendition by Miss Evah Baker of "Largo" from the "New World Symphony," by Anton Dhorak. o PI PHI PARTY. FACULTY RECITAL GREAT SUCCESS ALL MEMBERS OF MUSIC FACULTY TAKE PART. The Pi Phi girls entertained at their first formal rush party, Saturday. The affair began with a luncheon at the home of Miss Catherine Haynes. At two o'clock the party, composed of about fifty girls, enjoyed a delightful ride out to Enterprise. There a motor boat was awaiting them and a most enjoyable trip of about two hours was enjoyed on the water. The party alighted and participated in a most delightful Bacon Bat. The moon was beautiful and on the return trip up Lake Monroe many expressions of regrets for so early a termination of the trip were made. Mrs. Jordan and Miss Holden were the chaperones. o BASKETBALL SCHEDULE. Program Rendered of Which Both Faculty and School May Well Feel Proud. Continued on Page 4 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Marion Ray recently announced the marriage of their daughter, Mary Ren- nick, to Mr. Edward Bullock Walker, on Saturday, October the ninth, at Clinton, Kentucky. Mrs. Walker is a graduate of J. B. S. U. of the class of 1911. While here she was a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, which afterwards successfully petitioned Delta | Delta Delta. Tuesday will see the opening of the final series in basketball, for the League Championship. Coach Hollander and all the teams have worked hard and are in fine shape. The series will consist of six games and probably seven. Tickets are now on sale. A series i ticket costs twenty-five cents, less than five cents a game.

The first entertainment of the school year was given in the university auditorium last Wednesday evening when the faculty of the School of Music of Stetson University gave a recital. Those who dared the falling rain and in spite of the inclement weather insisted upon being present were fully repaid, for the program was one to delight those who love good music. The four artists who make up the music faculty, Miss Evah Baker, Miss Creola Ford, Mrs. C. G. Varn, and Mr. Guevchenian, each appeared in well selected numbers and at the close the three ladies charmed the audience with a beautiful rendering ensemble of Saint- Saens "Romance." The auditorium was comfortably filled in spite of the rain and most enthusiastic in its applause. Miss Evah Baker needed no introduction to a DeLand and Stetson audience. Her ability as an organist is known over the entire State. Miss Baker, Jiqw; ever, never appeared to better advantage than Wednesday evening. The inspiration she received as a result of her summer's study in New York was imparted to those who listened to her performance on the grand old pipe organ. Mrs. Claude Grady Varn, nee Miss Marjorie Boor, is also well known to the community and was greeted with hearty applause at her first appearance this year. Mrs. Varn's excellent work on the violin has served to enhance very decidedly the renown of Stetson's Music School. We were all interested in the initial appearance of our new piano instructor, Miss Creola Ford. Miss Ford rendered three selections exhibiting a splendid technique and a sympathetic interpretation of difficult pieces by Chopin, Henselt and Liszt. Miss Ford has quite captivated the hearts of all who had the good fortune to hear her and is assured "a most hearty welcome the next time she consents to charm us. Mr. Guevchenian was suffering from a severe cold. Nevertheless he filled his part on the program, continuing to uphold the reputation he established here last year as a tenor of remarkable sweetness and power. Considered as a whole this first recital of the year was a marked success and reflects credit upon the school and the artistts who performed. The program was as follows:— ORGAN (a) Midsummer Caprice, Edward F. Johnston. (b) Toccata F Major, Thomas Crawford. VIOLIN (a) Chanson Louis XIII—Pavane, Couperin-Kreisler. (b) Adagio from Suite No. Ill, Ries. Continued on Page 4
