It is not a dra matic club yet but hopes to be some day. T he entertainment was a bur lesque combined with vaudeville, to describe which would be impossible without giving the program in full. T he prologue, which we print, will give a mere outline of the charac teristic features presented. PROLOGUE. S C E N E . —A desert place—Thun three lightning. E n t er der and witches.

W hy that's the place I fell into last week when my broom-stick broke on that pesky comet. • Third Witch: Well, w h at of the play, is it to be fair? Second Witch : T he most chief scene is to be a faculty meeting, at which the college scamps are to try certain members of the Faculty, w h o, I understand, are to be repre sented by animals. First Witch: W h a t, h o! H ow rollicking! W h at more? Second Witch: T he Lord, H i gh Chief of the province is to be a sheep, because of his meek, submis sive nature and soft, mild e y e; then Dr. E d w a r ds is to be a pug-dog, for thou knowest his fondness for " the woman with little p u g - d o g ." Prof. Weil is to be a porcupine be cause of his sharp, stinging wit and sarcasm. the First Witch: Professor Smith, of what design is he? Second Witch: A* most musical bellowing cow w ho reaches easily low C, and blusters a snow storm at any provocation. First Witch : W h at of Professor Blunt and Mistress R u s h m o r e? Second Witch: Ah h a! well named ! Professor Blunt, the loon, is secure—to laugh as much and as long as she chooses, while a nice fat pig with cooking-cap and apron brings out Miss R u s h m o re divinely. [First Witch; G o o d!

T h en 'there was a take-off on the German class, another on the cook ing class; a surreptitious midnight lunch in Abbot hall, and, corres ponding to this, a representation of , t he midnight revels of the " Calith- u m p i a m s" in Wells hall. Through-, put the program there were many good local hits; in fact, the pro gram was made up mostly of such hits. A poem, " T he Abbotiad," written by Harriette Robson and read by N. A. M c C u n e, described in the style of Dante the storming of Abbot hall by the night-shirt paraders. T he program ended with "A Scene in Hades," in which all the characters of the play appeared in costumes weird and grotesque. Between acts the audience was entertained with lantern views from life, original drawings of College '00 and S. J. by Irma Thompson Kennedy entertainment ' 0 1. T he was a success and the program, ex cept for its extreme length, was en joyed by all. " 1 fear you are forgetting me," She said in tones petite, " I am indeed for getting you, That's why I came tonight." Trees of Porto Rico. Over sixty were present at the meeting of the Botanical Club last Tuesday night, it being one of the largest meetings in the history of the society. T he program for the evening consisted of a talk on " U s e ful Trees of P o r to R i c o ," by Bron- son Barlow. T he speaker began by giving a brief description of the physical features of the country and how the climate and soil influenced vegetation. R e g a r d i ng the people, he said that their methods of agri culture were rather shiftless as a rule. T he coffee plantations, how ever, are an exception to this rule. is cultivated by haphazard Fruit methods, and no attempt is made to establish or cultivate orchards. T he climate, however, favors the growth of a number of valuable trees, among them being the sour sop, breadfruit, cashew, guava, calabash and cocoa- nut palm. These are all found growing wild on the island and not to cultivate much effort is made illustrates his them. M r. Barlow talk by specimens which he had col- Jected himself and from the college herbarium. T he program for the next meet ing, N o v. 14, will consist of a talk by Prof. Hedrick " Alpine Plants," and a biographical sketch of Dr. T o r r ey by M r. J e w e l l. on G. M. 15. T he Juniors to Chicago. Prof. Weil has changed his plans for taking the mechanical juniors to to the Thanks Chicago. O w i ng giving football game here with De- P a u w, there was considerable objec tion to going at that time, and after some negotiation Prof. Weil was able to make even better arrange ments than could be made at Thanks giving time. T he Grand T r u nk has granted a $4 rate for the round trip, good going on Thursday of this week and returning on Monday of limit. This five-day next week—a will give the class a chance to visit at small expense a number of the largest manufacturing plants in Chi cago. Prof. Weil says that about 30 will go on this trip. Our First Victory. We won a football game from the Normals .Saturday, by a score of 18 to o. T he Normal boys were outplayed from start to finish and in every feature of the game. T h ey held our boys for downs just once, made one reasonably long gain, and were once within 20 yards of a this was after touchdown, but a kick-off when the ball was in M. A. C. hands. Ypsilanti kicked off and M. A. C. rushed the ball back across the field for a touchdown by Skinner, with out once losing it. Russell's kick the of goal made our score 6, and first half ended without further scoring on either side. In the second half M. A. C. the kicked off; Ypsi punted, got long ball out of bounds, made one gain around end, then lost the ball on downs. M. A. C's next play was a demoralizer. " B ig J o h n" Alfsen, our freshman prodigy, tore tackle and, with Russell through for and R. W. Case interference, ran straight down the field 60 yards for a touchdown. Again Russell kicked goal. Soon after the next kick-off R u s sell went around the end for a 70- yard run and would have scored if he had not slipped and fallen on Ypsi's 5-yard line. H e re the N o r mals braced up and held M. A. C. for downs, but lost again in the same same way. T he next play put R. W. Case over for our third and last touchdown, which Russell followed with a goal. T h e re were only 5 minutes more to play, but M. A. C. brought the ball near enough a place-kick, which missed the goal by about a foot. immediately for played the T w e n t y - t wo men game, and Skinner was the only man hurt.

Some will get a chance to become clerks and think such another opportunity will never come again. Some think they do not like to study. " You are just entering college for a four years' course, and the time seems an age to you, as you look ahead. But you havn't got to wait four yeafs. Waiting, even for an hour, seems a long lime, but if you have plenty to do and keep busy all the time, the hours will slip away rapidly."
