The dramatic , ability of these members was tested in four one-aplays composed from nursery rhymes. The stunts afforded much amusement for the audience and show'ed that the club is alert and intends to keep things going this winter. Its pep was also demonstrated in its success in making and seln balls in the matinee ling dance given Thursday afternoon by the Bureau of Public Service.

It has heretofore been given by the Third Years but since the Dixie Normal College has become the Dixie College it will henceforth be taken over by the college classes. Plans are already under way for the Prom, although it is not until April. A group of six composed of three from each class, the president, commissioner of amusements and one other class member, make up the com- mittee. The Freshmen are also preparing for Founders Day. They have selected the style of their caps, and are willing to stand by the faculty and class presidents on their decision of what will be done on that clay. When you get into a tight everything goes place and against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Of all the party, only Mr. A. K. Hafen failed to return to lunch, though we could not get him to tell us whether this was because he had satisfied this need with pine nuts or whether the food was less fascinating than the joy of gathering nuts in October. He returned to camp late in the evening with a brimming bucket of nuts. Every member of the party came in with at least a few pounds of the splendid harvest. After appetizing camp supper a program of songs, stories, etc. was enjoyed, then all retired; the call of the pine bough mattresses being more than we could resist. And there we remained until the sun called us out Sunday morning, some having slept overtime, others having enjoyed the marvelous stories of guns, and hunting, both what had been and anticipations for the future, with which Mr. Paxman and Mr. Thurston entertained each other during the silent watches of the night.

Saturday when the siren called us from dreams to the waiting cars and at 5:00 a. m., right to schedule, in spite of resistance on the part of one Ford, we were merrily meeting the morning breeze, speedily sailing toward the trees, the acres of trees on the borderline, the forests of cedar, spruce and pine. Soon the chauffeurs shouted Modena next, cars were replenished with gas and oil and on we went, caring little for threatening cloud, storm will not worry a jubilant crowd.
