Pegasus had been champion in the stall until Christmas came and students betook themselves homeward astride his sleek back. Of course everybody had the best time and biggest dinners too. From all appearance it may be safely conjectured that Cupid got in quite a considerable job during the holidays, but then it might be averred that he had been on the job beforehand. Well, that reminds, here we are back on the campus, and most of us have been on the job beforehand and it remains for us to finish what has been begun. Altogether, the fall session has been a very evident success. It has been very interesting to observe the general course of affairs, monotony itself has been a rarity, counter-balancing its own effect. With a glowing triumph in football, and a promising outlook for basketball, athletics go on record as a great success. Even a near-sighted, begruntled, sparsely-whiskered old man could say no less than “the thing was well did.” So, there remains nothing but a successful baseball season to make athletics a complete triumph. What has been said of athletics can be said of college activities, and, by the way, they are athletics too. No one will deny that he has derived exercise from trying to attend two meetings—usually held immediately after lunch—scheduled at the same time; one in room number six, the other in the Chapel.
Several things of great importance have been accomplished, chief of these are: A well organized Sunday School on the campus, the Epworth League alert and working; good programs and pageants as well as charity work in the community. annual well under way; society plays and literary work best in the history; the College Council considered among other things an honor system for college activities which will be initiated in the spring, and a better basis for society work inaugurated.
It is well to mention the Thanksgiving football victory and the sumptuous dinner thereafter. Three cheers for the team and Mrs. Henderson; the banquet for the faculty, reported as a wonderful success; and last, not least, the weekly socials—simple, elaborate affairs, held in plain view of Mrs. Plyant’s front porch. Sometime a full report in detail of Sunday socials will be made. The writer presages it to be an article of much interest. It is hoped no one will be ill-at-ease because of this announcement.
