The seniors won championships in
soccer, hockey, archery, and basketball.
Sohomores and Juniors picked up dur-ing
nild-wlnter sports, the Juniors win-ning
the gymnastics championship and
the sophomores winning in tennis and

sports season with the track and base-ball
championships.
With the championship class graduat-ing,
which class will carry the honors
next Is still in question. However,
the class of '34 may prove interesting.
HOME EC STUDENTS
DESIGN DOLL CLOTHES
The costume-design elass of the home
economics department has dressed two
dolls in a very interesting manner. The
first one has clothes that are copies
of those of the middle ages; the second
one is dressed to represent a woman
of the Colonial period. Each doll is
24 inches high, and both costumes have
been worked out in careful detail.

Music Wagon Ends
Dear Freshies' Dreams
Two freshmen were bent almost
double over stacks of high-piled books.
Too near examinations—everybody
most be quiet if they expect to get
enough cramming done in time. Miss
Jamison had Just warned everybody to
keep the balls in the deadliest silence.
She had disappeared and for a few
minutes' everything was fine.
"Listen 1"
Some whining notes of the "Stein
Song" and of "Carolina" broke the
silence created by the freshmen.
"Oh boy! Some orchestra's arrived.
It's under the bridge now!"
They dashed forth from their retreat,
and with eager eyes and ears, left the
space between Spencer and the bridge
behind them.
"Ob> look!" *
It was Just the same old music
wagon with one little man making all
the music after ail.

the first time, three color process plates
are used.
It carries out the theme of Sand

and it is based on the idea fiat "life
is made up of things concrete .md ab-stract,
