Show College Spirit in Action Saturday night Oct 29th a crowd of some thirty or forty students shouldered their blankets and set out for Lewiston to top Jami-sensugar beets in order that he might join our football eleven In ’s rank the students ranged from to Senior and as shown by “Prep” the cheering and singing they did — those on the train arousing the wrath of a prize fighter and those in the hack calling out in a crowd the citizens of each town through which they passed — they were mixed in the right proportion to form an enthusiastic crowd Shortly after one o’clock Sunday morning the students spread down their beds principally an overcoat and rubbers or a auilt torn into two parts — and in a short time the yells and songs gave way to numerous strains of snoring Long before sunrise most of the crowd awoke ready dressed and began topping beets as a means of overcoming the chill of the night This set the pace which was kept up steadily throughout the day At seven o’clock breakfast was called but only a short time was taken out for this and the work was again taken up To begin with there were almost as many ways of topping beets shown as there were toppers in the field And it was not until Jami-se- n gave some general instructions “hell knives” were that the working in harmony At noon it was estimated that the larger part of the beets were yet to be handled and after eating a very pleasing dinner the boys set out with the last row in the field as the goal of their ambition for that day During the afternoon we were treated to a practical demonstration of scientific plowing by two students a junior and a senior from the school of Agriculture This is suggested by the cut below so-call- ed |
