DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1915. NUMBER 23 PI BETA PHIS HAVE HOUSE PARTY LEAVE CHAUDOIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON—PARTY BREAKS UP MONDAY MORNING. Sorority Girls Prove Splendid Housewives and Hostesses. The house party of the Pi Phi girls beginning Thursday and lasting until Monday morning was a decided success in every particular. For their home the ladies had the old Walker House, just two doors from Chaudoin, but so surrounded by trees and shrubbery as to be nearly invisible from the street—an ideal location in every respect. Thursday afternoon was spent in furnishing and decorating. In this work the assistance of a number of fellows was eagerly accepted, and with such vim were things completed that by Thursday evening all was in readiness for the formal opening of the house. At 9:30 P. M. Thursday, was witnessed a regular exodus from dormitories and frat houses to the north of Chaudoin. Soon the house was full of young people and good cheer, the latter lasting until 10 o'clock, when the gentlemen were bidden a kind good night. Then began the sorrowful return of the pilgrims to the campus. All Friday the .girls were kept busy receiving visitors and presents, and getting ready for a repetition of the former evening. Nor were they disappointed, for lured by the recitals of those present on the former occasion an even greater crowd called to pay their respects to Pi Beta Phi. Saturday was the big day of the party. From 10 o'clock until 12 o'clock was an open house. The house, porch and lawn was thronged with students and townspeople. The visitors were met at the door by Misses Steed, Jackson and Conrad, and all extended a hearty welcome. The hours were enjoyable spent in inspecting the house and in getting acquainted etc. A delicate repast of chicken salad, crackers and mints were served. The gathering was especially noteworthy because of the large number of town people present. The afternoon was spent in recuperating for the regular throng of evening callers. Many and various forms of amusements were indulged in during the evening, such as singing, feasting and recitations with an impromptu circus as a grand finale. The Sabbath was spent quietly lounging on porch and in swing, while many of the young folks journeyed to town to attend divine services. At luncheon were many guests from town and campus. A host of visitors in the afternoon testified as to the popularity of the Pi Phis. By force of an edict of the powers that be the evening closed promptly at nine o'clock. Thus as far as the social phase is concerned closed one of the most unique as well as the most successfully conducted events of the college year.

After the usual roll call, reports of committees, etc., the following program was rendered: Printing, its fundamental basis, origin and present attainment, Attorney Donovan. Debate—"Resolved, That increased governmental regulation of business would be detrimental to the best interests of the people." Affirmative speakers were Mes. Dodge and Jennings, while the negative was upheld by Mess. Haskins and Kanner. Judges rendered a decision for the negative. Critic's report received. Quite a number of visitors were in attendance, and were hearty in their applause to the entertainers. FIRST GAME CLASS BASE BALL JUNIORS CROSS BATS WITH THE TECH BOYS—LOSE BY SCORE OF 9-4. NEW COURSE OFFERED AT STETSON Lead Up To the Seventh and Then Go to Pieces. Class baseball was ushered in last Wednesday afternoon when the Juniors and the Tech boys met on the diamond in a spirited contest. The game was a close one until the seventh inning when the Mechanics found a few hits which, coupled with a fistful of costly boots threw the game away. Northrup went strong during Professor Tingley of the Chemistry Department is offering for the first time in the history of this institution a course in Physical Chemistry. An expensive set of apparatus has been installed and a class of five is taking the course. Stetson's chemistry laboratories are among the best in the entire South, and the department is particularly strong. o SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR Now that the Vesper Services are past, we can draw a breath and pass Sunday afternoons as the good Book recommends.

But his support in the last three sets was wretched and seven runs were compiled with only three more hits. Fanned by Northrup, 11; by Hatcher, 5. There was a very poor crowd six months of the year.

North Only seven more weeks—then some will know their fate, and some will be cast out to meet their fate—what a cruel world. Just think, says Rivers, that I have to pay to get my picture in the Annual, and in a few years said picture will decorate the front pages of all high-class dailies. The beginning is always hard. lated for their triumph and each and every one should feel gratified at the many tokens of friendship and esteem tendered them. The Delta Delta Delta Frater-jrup 6-1, 6-3 nity entertains at a banquet Friday evening of this week. Particulars of the occasion will appear in our next issue. o o- ANNUAL GOES TO PRESS We suppose that in these fair spring days the Seniors are busily engaged in getting up their graduation essays. The Junior Class had a class meeting last Wednesday. The important and pleasant task of selecting the Queen of the May was discussed—but no one was chosen. Three of the Senior girls are so evenly matched in their popularity that the class was divided, and a triple tie in the votes resulted. All of the 1915 Annual is now in the hands of the printer, the last section of material going down Saturday noon. Soon the eighth volume of the Stetson "Oshihiyi" will appear on study table, and class room desks. As usual, with the lazy, mellow days of the short Spring Term, the Seniors graduation thesis in its last preparation, and the songs of mating birds in the campus oaks, comes this song of the Oshihiyi. Will the students, the class room critics, and the gods of the campus welcome it? Have your two dollars ready. Last Friday Conrad Hall was depleted of the following members, all of whom had a desire to lead a couple of days of the simple life: F. R. Taylor, J. J. Cannon, Jimmie Gill, H. J. Sims, Lloyd Fenno, W. P. Hunson, Morgan Bogart, Vernon Smythe, Al Rehbaum and L. A. Grauer. Leaving immediately after dinner the crowd went to Beresford, where H. E. McBride, with his good ship "Hustler" was waiting to take them down the river. With a supply of provisions that would make Chaudoin envious and other necessary camping paraphernalia on board, the boat was headed for Alexander Spring Creek, where Capt. McBride reported the fish were waiting to be lured by any disciple of Isaac Walton. The camping grounds were reached about sundown and preparations were immediately made for the evening meal. Jimmy Gill elected himself cook and also took upon himself' the duties of steward, which required a watchful eye to guard__ the "grub.'\ Throughout the trip Jirrmiy^m^ifF- tained this position on his merits and the crowd voted that he was indispensible to the success of the camp. Anyone who can flip hoecakes in the skillet as Jimmy can, deserves the position of chief cook at Chaudoin and efforts are being made to obtain his services in that capacity for next year. Bogart Walks Into the River. In the midst of the evening repast Bogart wanted some cream in his coffee. He arose and cautiously slipped around through the shadows trying to evade the watchful eye of Jimmy, the cook, whose permission was necessary before the cow could be milked. Suddenly a great splash was heard and thoughts of alligators and crocodiles flashed through the minds of those gathered around the fire. For a few minutes all was quiet. Then from the vicinity of a nearby pool came the words, "Well, I guess I had better get out of this." Morgan finished his meal clad in his blankets, vowing vengeance on those who laughed, especially on Smitty, whose delight at Morgan's misfortune could not be suppressed. A Night of Terror. After several pipes had been smoked and Dunson's Home Run cigarettes were fast disappearing, each individual sought out his blankets and retired to his boudoir. Peace reigned for a short time and then from down the creek came a buzzing which sounded like an army of aeroplanes approaching. Sims pricked up his ears and hollered "Here they come boys." Then from every blanket came a muffled sound of slaps and indistinct murmurings which sounded strangely like "— ! ! — ! ! ! — ! ! ! those mosquitoes." From then on all thoughts of sleep Continued on Page 3
