MEETING IN THEIR FIRST ANNUAL conven tion, about 250 members of the State Flor ists Association assembled at the college Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The address of welcome was made by President F. S. Kedzie, Dean R. S. Shaw talked on the Work of the Experiment Station, Dr. G. H. Coons of the botany experiment sta tion presented a paper on Plant Diseases in Greenhouses, and Miss Eugenia McDan- iels of the entomology department gave a paper on The Chrysanthemum Midge. A floral display at the armory attracted a great deal of attention. The building was filled with plants, baskets, cut flowers, and bulbs, arranged most artistically. An ex hibit of spring flowers from the M. A. C. greenhouse attracted very favorable com ment. ON THURSDAY EVENING, March 11, the win ning Freshman Infantry Rifle team, the loser faculty runner-up, the all-college cham pions, and the faculty of the. military de partment, were entertained at a dinner party at the Downey Hotel, when their medals were awarded. This marked the closing of a rifle tournament participated in by eleven teams, which has been in pro gress during the latter part of the winter term. L. E. Perrin, '23, of Detroit, turned in the highest score, 176, thereby entitling him to the all-college championship and the gold medal. Emma Genevieve Gillett, '20, daughter of D. C. Gillett, '89, of Lansing, won the gold medal offered the girl with the highest score. HERBERT HOOVER may have an opportunity to become the new president of the Uni versity if Minnesota in case he is not nomi nated by either party for president of the United States. A movement in this direc tion is on foot at the University. A PAGEANT, which promises to excel the very beautiful and picturesque one given last year at Commencement, is being plan ned for the coming Commencement by the Senior girls. A theme embodying history, patriotism, and prophesy has been chosen for this year's pageant, American history, from the landing of the Pilgrims through the times of war and peace to the present day, is to be portrayed in song and panto mime. War songs, as well as folk songs are among those contemplated. The cos tuming of which Miss Winifred Gettamy of the household art department, will have charge, is to be elaborate than last year. Prof. J. S. Taylor of the music department will direct the music. Both instrumental and vocal music will be featured. Arrange ments are now being made to provide for adequate seating for the guests. Mrs. Norma Gilchrist Roseboom of the English depart ment is in charge of general arrangements. SAP HAS STARTED to flow in the sugar bush and the making of maple syrup is being started by the forestry department. The flow is not quite up to maximum. This year the prime top dressing for buckwheat cakes is selling for $3 a gallon at the col lege. ALL OF THE SPIRIT AND PEP of a pre- Michigan football game mass meeting was in evidence at the non-partisan political rally held in the gymnasium Monday even ing of this week. A burlesque national convention of which Prof, C. B. Mitchell of the English department was chairman was the feature of the evening. A big delega tion composed of members of the various college societies, and headed by the band, made a round of the campus and then marched to the gymnasium. Make-ups and disguises, tin pans and fireworks, and other noise-making machines, confetti and stream ers brought the affair to the half-way sta tion between a masquerade and a Fourth of July celebration. Charlie Chaplin, Jack Johnson, William Jennings Bryan with an entirely new platform, Hoover, "The Father of Club A," and even Beelzebub himself, were among the candidates which were loudly received by the entire assembly. With only one exception, the.platforms were decidedly wet. As one speaker expressed it, his planks were wet on both sides. Pla cards bearing the inscriptions, "Anti-Sahara Club," "I Tappa Kegga National Wet Frat," and "Relaxation Without Intoxication," em phasized the parched condition of the dele gates. Following the "stunt convention" the meeting was thrown open to representatives of the various candidates for the presiden tial nomination. Prof. E. H. Ryder pre sided, and short pertinent talks were given by Robert McCormack Adams, of Chicago, national secretary of the Young Men's Low- den League, Mayor Fred Green of Ionia who explained the absent voters' law, and E. H. Sanford of Detroit, who spoke for 6 THE M. A. C. RECORD. General Wood. Mrs. Minnie Kyes of Lan t he American s i ng outlined t he duty of woman voter. A. L.

THE SECOND GENERATION. they P a r e n ts usually desire for their children themselves t h an better opportunities enjoyed, b ut when from choice give they them t he same opportunities, it is usually because they believe t h e re a re none better. Thirty-three young m en and women at M. A. G, sons a nd daughters of former stu dents, speak well for t he opinion which these parents have of their Alma Mater. It is interesting to note t h at 18 of t h is second generation of young people a re girls, and 15 men, while only four of t he p a r e n ts are M. A. C. women. R. S.

SOME IMPRESSIONS OF FRENCH RE= CONSTRUCTION WORK. By DOROTHY M. BROWN, W'10. Just returned from my bit of after the war work, I am glad to greet old M. A. C. friends again. I was always expecting to meet some of them "over there," but the American army was too big, even if the world is small. At any rate, I said good-bye to the army at the A. E. F. Uni versity early in June and went up to get acquainted with the scenes of its exploits as a member of the Mission des Amis, or the ganized for reconstruction work by English and American Quakers. an fast to know perhaps, Some of your readers will recognize the names of Ville-en-Tardenois, Chaumuzy, Sarcy, Bligny and the other half dozen vil lages west of Rheims where I worked for four months; and to many more, Varennes, Montfaucon, Wery, Cheppy, Montblainville, etc., will be familiar, where I later joined the main body of the Friends unit. They will be interested that these villages and scores of others are on the map again, in fact as well as in name—• for the inhabitants have been coming back ever since early last spring—as as there are roofs to shelter them (you know it does occasionally rain in Sunny France). Sometimes a family had inhabitable piece of a house standing miraculously among the ruins, but more often they must wait for a hut put up by the Friends or the Government. Even the little village of Vauquois, whose site is now only a crater which splits a hill in two, is reincarnated in the shape of half a dozen wooden huts at the foot of the hill. Those French peas ants may be "behind the times," may not know what germs are, they may sometimes flail their grain and wash their clothes in streams; but they have a cheerful persist ence and endurance in the face of depress ing hardships that makes them the back bone of the nation. When you realize that it is usually a soldier returned from four years of fighting at five cents a day, or a widowed woman, who has the job of get ting those torn cultivation again, their courage seems still more won derful. Of course they were most grateful to the Mission's "Aggie" department which has done a lot of plowing and sowing and threshing for the people of our region and has brought up from the south and west thousands of chickens, rabbits, bee colonies and some cattle. We girls of the Relief department got into some of this work, too, and I learned the approved method of pick ing up rabbits by the ears. But mostly we were occupied in conducting regular country stores to which the women walked many miles for the necessaries of living, or visiting the families in our villages, giv ing special aid in needy cases, getting medi fields under cal care for the sick, supplying the schools with some simple equipment, or trying to show the children a little good time. We tried our best to get at least stoves and beds and mattresses for everybody, in spite of the chaotic state of transportation, but if we couldn't, it was only a philosophic "tant pis" and they slept on the floor a while longer. their share of lives It was remarkable how normally people went on with their lives, how little there was of any war spirit, even on the 14th of July, when Paris was exultantly cele brating victory. These people who had given more than in battle as statistics show, spoke of the war and "since the war" almost as if it were an earthquake or some other natural dis aster, and went on struggling against its everyday, uninspiring legacy of horrors. They had plenty of heart to be gay, too, always ready to joke and to take their full part in the parties we planned. They were ever hospitable to us to their last lump of sugar and kind even to the German pris oners who had been hissed and spit upon in the more favored parts of France. Old Mme. Quentin half apologized to me one day for feeding some of them who had been cleaning up the debris which, was once her "Ce n'est pas leur faut," she said. house. "C'est leur chef." (It isn't their fault. It's inwardly as I I marvelled their chief). thought how few of my comfortable friends in President back home took any stock Wilson's "We have no quarrel with the German people." This generosity and breadth of spirit, not only toward their enemies but toward their friends, struck me often. As some of our boys discovered, it's sometimes hard to see the virtues of your allies. "They are not like us" is true from both sides of the fence of course; but it was not in a disparaging, only an interested and often admiring way that my French friends made this remark about the Americans or English. In vil lages which had been looted by American soldiers they would explain, "The French would have done the same, Mademoiselle, all soldiers are alike," and they were al ways telling me that America had saved France. I wonder if there are any other people who could have received foreign help gratitude with such graceful, and yet such maintenance of self-respect and independence. unaffected among Thus I've brought back, other things, a real liking rather than pity for the people of the Meuse and the Marne val ley and also a very definite realization of the sort of desolation that a war means nowadays, wherever the battlefields may be. I pass them on, wondering what other M. A. C.-ites have collected in the way of men tal souvenirs. THE M. A. C. RECORD. 9 C L A SS REUNIONS. 1920 C o m m e n c e m e nt June 13- 16.
