DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915. NUMBER 2& & JUNIORS GIVE SENIORS PARTY ELABORATE ENTERTAINMENT IN CARNEGIE IN HONOR OF CLASS OF 1915. Best Affair of Its Kind Ever Given Here. The members of the Junior Class entertained in splendid fashion in the Carnegie Library Building in honor of the Seniors last Saturday evening. This social function takes the place of the Junior Prom of many other colleges, and is an annual event at Stetson. The Eusophian room and the recepf on hall were beautiful y dec- rated for the occasion with bamboo and flowers and the Stetson colors. The program of the evening consisted of a reception in the hall first and then a sort of "cabaret show" in the Eusophian room. Tables were set for two each and delicate courses of sundry nature were served by six of the charming Freshmen girls. After the repast, a number of speeches were given. The event of the evening was the crowning of Miss Constance Waterman as May Queen. This was a beautiful ceremony to which Miss Waterman responded in most winning manner with a few well chosen words. The president of the Junior Class, Miss Nell Hathcock addressed a ''few words of welcome to those present. Mr. Haskins recited one of Riley's excellent poems. Mr. Sales sang a Stetson song of his own composition. Mr. Longstreet gave the farewell address to the Seniors, who are soon to leave us. Altogether the affair was the best of its kind that has ever been given in the history of the university. The Junior Class outdid itself. Credit is especially due Misses Elliott and Blocker for the success of the function. o TECH DEFEATS SENIOR LAWYERS JUNIOR LAWYERS TRIM SENIOR LAW Last Thursday afternoon the members of the Junior Law Class had little difficulty in disposing of the Senior Law team. The game went along nicely until the third with no hits or runs. But then Pitcher Kanner for the Seniors got into trouble by hitting Sherman and walking Beaulieu. Two inopportune hits (for Kanner) sent over three runs. In the sixth Kanner weakened and two more free passes, coupled with three hits one of them for extra bases, put five scores across. Merritt for the Juniors was seldom in danger and yielded but four hits and issued no free tickets. In the fifth and seventh he let out two hits each and these with errors gave the enemy their onlv four runs. Tuesday afternoon the Tech boys added another victory to their series by defeating the Senior Law team by the score of 10 to 3. This game had some real baseball which made it full of enjoyment. The work of Tribble for the lawyers and McBride for the Tech men were features of the game. In the last inning Kanner weakened and Haskins took his place. Hon relieved Hatcher and kept the Lawyers from scoring any more runs. This makes the Tech team champions of the West Campus and Put? them in the Championship series of the entire Campus, and from the outlook of things they *ifl probably come out on top.

And Club Too. The Stetson Glee Club gave its annual concert in the university auditorium Thursday evening. This event has always heretofore occurred in the Fall or early Winter. But for reasons best known to the music faculty, it was postponed this year until too late to have the usual sized audience and too late for the club to take any trips in the State. Two years ago the Glee Club spent the Xmas vacation touring the State and did some good advertising for Stetson. The boys put on a good show last week.

No suits were purchased for this year's team. Out of town games cost more than the receipts for them because we did not have the return game with Ormond. $50.00 in subscriptions was not paid. Inasmuch as there was no deficit, the committee has not pressed this collection. However, the pledges should be paid in full. Twelve minutes was given each speaker with five minutes rebuttal for the first speaker on each side. The judges rendered a decision in favor of the negative, the Kent Club defending that side, and selected Mr. Haskins and Mr. Jennings to represent Stetson at the Inter-collegiate Debate at Southern this Friday night. Mr. Kanner of the Kent Club was chosen the alternate. The Varsity Club team was Winner, Emerson, and Deane. The Kent Club team was Haskins, Kanner and Jennings. o pure He a copy o- COLLEGIATE BOARD TO MEET The members of the Stetson Weekly Collegiate Board are requested to meet in room 5 next Monday afternoon at 3:00 P.

If the game could have been finished there was a probability of the Bookkeepers losing. If they had done so it would have tied up the championship of the East Campus in good style. The Fresh- ies beat the Business College. The Business College beat the Juniors. The Juniors beat the Sophomores. And there you have it. The Freshmen have not played any game except the one mentioned so they are an unknown quantity. This called game will be played off at an early date ' o S. L. S.
