T h e h alf-m ile relay was won by th e Ju n io rs, C hoate, E v a n s, T hom as, T h e rria u lt. A t 2 o ’clock in th e afternoon th ere was a cam pus m eeting. T h e spot chosen for the m eeting was the beautiful shaded stretch of law n ju s t west of the aca dem ic b u ilding. Mr. Downie acted as m aster of cere m onies and m any were th e stu n ts pulled off by various stu d e n ts, in d ividually and collectively. All p a rtic i pan ts gave m ost pleasing accounts of them selves and helped to m ake the afternoon one to be rem em bered for vears. A t 8 p. m. “ T h e M aid and the M id d y ,” an o p er etta in two acts, was given in the au d ito riu m for the benefit of faculty m em bers and the stu d e n ts, and it was noted th a t we had q u ite a n u m b er of visitors as well, and all w ere m ade w elcom e. T h e operetta pleased all who w ere p resen t and those who took p art are deserving of every bit of praise th ey received—and they received a lot, too. On T uesday m orning at 9:30 o ’clock th e various shops were throw n open for th e inspection of visitors and the forenoon was passed in a w ay th a t proved of unusual in terest as th e m any visitors w ere profo u n d ly im pressed w ith th e th o ro u g h n ess of the school and th e capacity of th e pupils. T he school scored 100 in th e test. At 1:30 P. M. th e re w as a com petitive fire d rill, w hich proved quite a feature, alth o u g h it was over in a jiffy, w hich w as w hat was expected and desired. A t 4:30 there w as a dress parad e and at 6:50 a co n cert by th e band and large crow ds w ere en tertain ed . F o llow ing the band concert cam e th e second evening of the o peretta, “ T h e Maid and the M id d y ,” th is tim e for visitors. W ell, we had a crow d— a ja m , in fa c t—as th ere was soon “ s an d in g room o n ly .” It was the largest crow d ever at a com m encem ent at C hem aw a. O ur au d ito riu m is a spacious affair and it w as packed. O u r visitors consisted of the best people of Salem and various ad jacen t sections and all were pleased. T he o p eretta w ent sm oothly and it seemed th a t those com posing cast and choruses fairly eclipsed on th is evening all th e ir form er efforts. It was one g ran d success and was w orthy th e acclaim of the h u n d red s and h u n d re d s of our visitors. W ednesday m o rn in g , at 9:30 o ’clock, th e various com panies com posing the school battalion drilled in com petition for prizes. All did well and th e d rillin g was a credit to th e school, but w here there are w in ners there are also losers. E sth e r B lodgett, captain of the g ir ls ’ C om pany A, won out w ith her com pany in the g irls’ com petitive drill and received a cup for her com pany. C om pany C, boys, captained by C harles B uchert, was successful in the boys’ com petitive drill and took the cup offered. T h e com petitive drill was followed by a dress parade. A d ju tan t G eneral W hite was the ju d g e of the com petitive d rillin g , and was in every way satisfactory to all in th at capacity and m ade friends by his fairness and evident ability. At 3 o ’clock in the afternoon the the physical c u l tu re classes of Mr. Bent gave an exhibition of a pleas in g character. T here were special calisthenic drills by the sm all girls of W inona H all, pyram id b u ild in g by the boys of Brew er H all, wand drill by larger girls of W inona H all and th e exhibition concluded w ith (C o n tin u ed on page 3 )
