growing as there are many other
ways in which it will bring larger
returns.

The most unique attraction of
the evening, however, was a
"real foot-ball game by moon
light" Of course, "rooting"
was much in evidence, the play
ers being cheered for as a team
and as individuals. During the
intermission between, "halves,"
the audience was favored by
speeches from the stars of the
team, only one being a genuine
"Stump" speech. This game un
like most foot-ball game's, did
not require a record to be kept,
it is thus pardonable if the final
score be not reported.
Immediately following the
game, there was a grand prome
nade around the campfire which
was ended by two excellent talks
by J. B. V. Butler and A. L.
Briggs. Both of these men gave
good advice and spoke very en
couragingly to our boys and to
the student body as a whole;
their points of course related to
athletics..
Following the speeches, the
company decided to continue its
"merry-making" and gave the
absentees a taste of foot-ball
spirit. Accordingly songs and

remainder of the evening, and
without a doubt many a good
person was wakened from his
peaceful slumbers, all of which
of course is painful to the com
pany as it reflects,
A dignified name for that which
took place is a "serenade." Mr.
Ressler, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Fargo
and Mr. Traver were the "would
be" victims. Mr. Ressler, how
ever was out of town; Mr. Robin
son of course was serenaded in
memory and Mr. Traver was
away. Thus "the speech of the
evening was made by Mr. Fargo
who made a creditable talk to the
assemblage.
After having voted a very
pleasant evening, profitably spent
the company disbanded feeling
repaid for all efforts.
