M. S. Pinafore deserve quite a lot of credit for their efforts. The most unfortunate feature of the Derform- ance was the place in which it was held, possibly Memorial Hall was the only procurable place, but with its horrible accoustics it destrovs much irom any musical performance. The noise of the rain also detracted from the pleasure of the show As is always the case in amateur musical performances, the acting was not as good as the sinerine. but a few exceptions to this rule helped to pull tne good ship Pinafore out of bad storms. . Roger Ogburn was with out a doubt the best actor. He kept the audience in a continual uproar of laughter with his interpretation of the "Ruler of the Queen's Navee."- woodward Williams and Miss Aline Hughes were also to the front in gard to histronic ability.

It was a nitv that all nf tu - v uvov talent on the campus was not pres ent, out an things considered the cast did very well. The nerfnrmona showed a lot of preparation and was weu worth the while of any of the audience. 1922 at the first meetine of next year's, council held Friday night.

On Wednesday night in th nlH University Inn's dining hall full nf hazy cigarette smoke, Boo Loo ex- ipectations, bull, and a general soph jatmopshere, the rising junior class neid its last meeting of the year in the form of a good old time class smoker. All that the famished young dignataries could wish for was there and when it was all over the mighty hosts left with ringing cheers for 23, her officers and the aewlv hnn ored members of that great and rep resentative organization for distin guished freshmen known to all as the coo Loo The fun started almost exactly as me little hand tipped nine and the longer one past the mark fit fur olva Waiters brought forth stacks of sand wiches and tubs of punch. These were gobbled and gulped down to the tune of President McDonald's at tempt to get the attention of the hall for the first speaker of the occasion. This he finally did. Bob Gray then arose and delivered an excellent humorous talk. He waxed eloquent from the first, sneak ing in that customary vein of his, well known to the campus.

The road men have been lining off the road, laying the concrete sides. anH have also been pouring in the crush ed rock foundation. The Commis sion has been slow in its work, prob ably waiting for material prices to drop. In the meantime the job of finishing the road has been turned over to the Company of Elliott and Shoales, located in Durham. Theu have agreed to finish the job in 180 days, from May 1st, 1921; that is the road should be completed by No vember 1st. The road from Durham to the Orange County line is to be an asphalt stretch; the rest of the road, from the county line to ChaDel Hill win do concrete. The concrete road wWl come right down -Franklin Avenue, (which Berman's Emporium is situated) and will end in front of Mrs. Daniel's residence. Leaving out the concrete bridges, whih are already finished, the state will pay Elliott and Shoales $3.39 for every square yard of ' finished this road is had through the Good Roads Association Bill, which was passed last winter. Orange County will get a total of 55 miles of hard surfaced road. Enthusiasm and great interest marked the annual elections of the Athletic Association, which came off last Tuesday. From 10 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon the ballot boxes placed at the Y. M. C. A., the post-office, and other places about the campus, were gathering places for workers inter ested in the outcome of the elec tion. Directly after dinner the officers of the Athletic Association began to count the votes, and with from ten to fifteen working continually the count was not finished until eaily Wednesday morning.' A total of 944 votes were cast in the election, which is probably the largest number pver cast in the annual spring elections. An unusual interest centered around the election of manager of varsity baseball, and with Griffith a little in the lead almost all the time, but with Anderson running close lata Tuesday night Griffith forged ahead and finished with something over a hundred majority.
