Promptly at one o'clock the "pee rade," as the "stoode" calls columns , all formal marching formed on State street in front of t he historic old "Dutc h Kitchen."

It was headed by the Cornell Cadet Band (an organization not unlike that famous U. A.

Th e seniors occupied first place after the the band, and then in orde r came the Juniors, Sophmores and Fresh men. The march ers formed ten abreast, and prior to the moving of the parade, the street was bloc ked.

Each "stoode" was armed with a megaphon e, and a liberal supply of "cough m edicine,"eith e r lozenges or in li quid form.

whistling or yelling, and after a whi le when the band started"F ig h ting for Cornell, " there was a united chorus of three thousand voices, which resounded on the clear,crisp Octobe r air, and echoed back and forth between the su rrounding hills.

When t le "peerade" disbanded , a rush f)r the seats began, a nd when a ll were finally located, t here were probably ten thousand p eople ready for the contest to begin.

Th e All H allows team wen t down to an overw helming defeat , when t hey met t he Aggies on Novembe r 12th. The gam e immediately resolved itself into the quest ion of how many times can t he Aggies in two short halves, drag their opponents from one goal line to the other ? At t he end of the first half we had scored th ree to u chdowns and kicked one goal. Th ey had, in the very first of the gam e, 0 11 a ÂŁluke that occured t hrough a misplaced fo r ward pass, made on e to uchdown . This left the score at t he end of the first half 16-6 in favor of Aggies .

~tubent ~obp @rgant~eb At chapel , October 26th an o rganizati on of the student body was e ffected. The officers were elected with little discussion and it seems the stud ents were well pleased with them. Now that the affairs of t he students are left a lmost entirely to these officers, it is the duty of the stu dents to uph old them in eve ryt hing they do. You have elected t hem and thus trusted them with your affairs. Now get in a nd boost for a ll you a re wort h . Let 's have an organi zation he re that we may be proud of, one that will keep things moving, insure good tim es, push us to t he front a nd keep us t he re. Th ose elected we re as follows: President- W . L. Walke r.

Vice- presid ent- E. P. H off.

Secretary- Vera T aylo r.

Treasurer- E. H . 路W alters.

Comm ittee- Eunice J acobson , C. E . Flemming and Earl Benni on .

A movem ent is on foot to give the upperclassmen a few more priviledges than the lower ones . This is a good idea. The upper classmen have been here lon g enough to kn ow what school means , and they are not going to sluff classes in order to sleep or' ,queen. " Chasing arOtlll d with an excuse in your hand because you happened to be busily engaged at somethin g during class p eri od, is getting m on otonous, and Juniors and Seniors should be excused from it and allowed to go upon their honor. If then they are absent the professor will know why a nd it will save the head of t he attendance committee many a step in chasing down t he "pesty cri tte rs. "

After practice on t he ni ght of November 15th , t he team hu rri ed to cha nge t heir clothes for "somet hing was on. " Four 'a nd twenty stron g we ente red th e Eliason home t o m eet our hostess, Mrs . W. 'IV. McLaughlin.

Imagine how ha rd it must have been fo r her to loo k suc h a hungry, hu sky bunch in the face , and think she had to feed them. Upon ente rin g we were in st ru cted to make ourselves at home. Tru st the boys for doing t hat.

Capt. Hanson sank down amid the cushions of the cozy corne r singing, " Hom e was never like this." Th en his thoughts wand e red for a m oment to the little

STUDENT LIFE qu een he went home to see while in Salt La ke . Big J ohn fully occupied his usu al space, t hen the rest of us found a seat. It did not take Coach long to get in with the ladies, with whom he soon made us acquainted . After this, we were led to the dining room which was very artistically decorated with

penn ants a nd ribbons. Over the center of the large table hung a foot ball, very app ropri ate fo r the occasion . Coach a nd Cap . took the head of t he table and managed never to let a good dish go by, - and t hey were all good. Very li ttle was said , but we were all b usy. Th e d is hes loaded with delicacies soo n began to get empty. Now a n d t hen someone woul d look up , stretc h a little, give a sigh and then start eating again. There was plenty for all a nd we ate and ate, untli we

could eat no more . Bennion was the last t o quit; but t hen, he IS a slow eater.

Now we moved to t he parlor, where Coach en tertain ed us at the piano with songs and selections .

It is hard to understand why a man so talented in music should be leading a bunch of foot ball men. Why, he is so good that it would be un safe to have him out very much, where a piano is ha ndy, for if ladies we re around , he would be getti n g married. Then we all got to singi ng and we sang so much we were hoarse. There are certainl y some coming voices in the team.

H ere again Bennion shines. H e has a very mellow voice. Mrs .

Charlie H ansen p layed while we sang a nd it was really good to hear .

Don 't be surprised if the foot ball boys get up a minstrel. Conger would make a star end man , as was proved by his step dancing, which was warmly appla udE'd.

Mrs. Hansen then recited for us a nd won all our hearts.

When we left we exclaimed in one voice. it was the best t im e we had had together yet, a nd a ll fe lt deep ly indebted to Mrs . 路McLaugh lin a nd her a ids for the-good t im e

a chan ce to enjoy the social side of life, the affair was schedu led to start at 8 :30.

This m eant t hat som eone must be present at t hat time; so t he Sorosis girls arra nged to be there at that hour .

Th ey were there at 8 AS , much to t heir credit , By half past nine the party was at "fu ll blast" eve rybody having "the very best of a time." At ten o'clock refreshments were served to t he foot ball boys . The b oys t hen gave a few chee rs for the Sor-

and departed , singmg that pathetic story " Good Night, Ladies' A few dances after this, the refreshment room was opened , t he girls serving wafers and punch.

When twelve o'clock arrived , n obody was ready to go home. There was a general desire for " more dance," and the orchestra was kind enough to gra nt five m ore d an ces.

Everybody danced the five extra a nd when the social finally ended , everybody left in the best of spirits , lou din prai se of t he "Sor osis girl s."
