FRESHMEN (JET RAT (APS AT PEP MEETING IN GYM Regulations Given At a very impressive display of colors and pep in the gymnasium at ten o'clock on Monday night the members of the freshman class were given their rat caps. The ceremony was impressively performed by marching the freshmen around until every one was directly in front of some member of the sophomore class. They were then requested to kneel and the caps of blue and white were placed on bowed heads by imposing sophomores. Anne Johnson, president of the sophomore class talked for a short while to the freshmen showing them that their reputation and spirit as a class was entirely up to them. The regulations regarding the wearing of rat caps were stated and it really looks like the sophomores are in earnest.

SOCIALS
FRESHMAN CLASS MEETING IS HELD Thru the halls we have heard the deep thinking freshmen wondering just what the sophomores have in store for them. Last Tuesday night Ann Johnson informed them at the regular meeting of the class just what to do. Here's a few of the rules of the mighty sophomores to help the freshmen enjoy "rat week:" 1. Wear tennis shoes from 7:15 till 10:30 with black hose accompanying them. 2. Bow to the upper classmen in case they do not have enough exercise in "gym." 3. Make beds, carry laundry and anything asked to do along this line to retain their domestic ability. 4. To use side doors to dining room and rotunda, so they will not annoy the faculty and home department with their hard heels. 5. To suspend the use of cosmetics to relieve business depression. 6. To wear rat caps from four until seven-thirty for fear of getting their brains chilled; also carry them in case they feel this coming on during the day. We hope the freshmen will derive much benefit from this 'educational week" and in years to come be able to say. "It was all for our own good."

In a paper recent i ol B news item ran thus: "Prince of Wl Wins Golf Fame." He achieved his lame at Aboyne. Scotland. During his recent stay in Balmoral Castle, he motored with his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, to the Aboyne links for a full round. Halfway down the fairway telephone pole to the right of the links. To prove himself a "golfer"; one must past this post With a drive. The Prince passed it by several yards We all are acquainted with the fame of the Prince and his horses. but the news of his new fame has just been spread abroad. In England's future king there s to be all the qualities of a good sport at least, he'll want his people to breathe a sufficient amount of fresh air!
Everybody happy? Let's get going! i one is awaiting the announcement of the champion tennis player, so look on the bulletin board out your opponent and challenge her to a game right away. The tennis court, number one, is being reserved every day from ten to eleven in the morning and from two to three in the afternoon for the e girls who are playing in the toun. iment. It is requested that other girls do not sign up for that particular court at that time.
Lost, a "Class Spirit" somewhere beiween the building and the athletic field. Will the finder please return the same to the Junior Class? Wha'ts the matter with the juniors? Last year the class put out a good, hard-fighting hockey team. But this year it looks as if there will be no team at all. At least there will not be a complete team. There are over a hundred juniors; yet only five or six appear at the !. s practices to make ready for the big game Thanksgiving against the husky seniors! Girls, lets find the "Class Spirit" and return it triumphantly to the hockey field of 1930.
