(Continued on page three) Choral Club Begins Work The Choral Club, under Miss Starr’s supervision, has already held several practices this year. These practices have been very encouraging and the response to the invitation to new members promises much progress and en thusiasm for the year. The club has a good enrollment this year. Many of the new members are students who graduated last year from Central high school. It is thought practice attendance will be much better this year because members who do not come rvill be dropped from the club roll. The plans for the 3'ear are being rapidly formulated. The first broadcast will be given December 8, over station WBT. The exact nature of the program has not yet been made public but it is known the Christmas motif will be car ried out. An unusually good pro gram is being prepared for the annual pre-Christmas concert. FROSH RUN GAUNTLET Two Days of Cruelty “O sage, superior sophomore, this sinful, sniveling subordinate salutes thee,” was the password of the freshmen during the two “rat” daj'S, October 13 and 14. The domineering sophomores govern ed the freshmen with a merciless hand. On ‘he first day the “sniveling subordinates” appeared in dresses above their knees, two sweaters, three pairs of hose rolled at va ried lengths, bath cloths tied around the neck, strings around each finger, faces painted in an exaggerated manner, hair parted in the middle wi‘h one side straight and the other side rolled up on tissue paper. Text books were carried in laundry bags. After lining up in front of the dining hall and singing a foolish song, the freshmen were allowed to enter the dining room where each was required to h a v e a photograph of the “bo}' friend” before her on the table. On the second day the freshmen were made to wear an evening or afternoon dress, gym shoes and bloomers, a towel around the neck, beret pulled down over the eyebrows, and long ear - rings. Books were carried in waste paper liaskets. “Rat Court” was held on both nights. From the shrieks that as cended from the basement under the dining hall there must have been great fun and much excite ment. Early To Rise “Early to bed and early to rise. Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” It’s the “early to rise” part of this little rime that we want to emphasize now. We are going to start some early morning hikes, before very long and unless you get these above requisites under control, you are going to be left out of most of the fun. That isn’t all either. Supper hikes are being planned as well. If 3^ou want to reduce—the best way to do it is to take long walks and sufficient e.xercise. An3mne that wants to go on any of these hikes, please sign 3’our name on the poster 63' the Athletic Bul letin Board. What’s the point of this pun? Ever3'bod3- in school has earned points since school has begun, but most of them have been received through the mail from the Stu dent Government Association. Wh3" don’t some of you change sides and start making a few hon orary points under the Athletic Association ?
