Accordirg to the usual custom the class of '94
hoisted their flag on the Armory tower on Satur
day, March 2 tst. No rush followed, since the
Sophomores had been placed in such a position
by the ruling of the Faculty, that class action was
an impossibility.
Louis Alves De Oliveira, Jr., of Rio De Janeiro,

Both the Washingtion and Cresson Societies
have added to their membership several of our
Co-Eds during the term. We are pleased to see
this tendency on the part of the ladies arid are
sure that not only will they receive benefit from
the literary work, but that they will add greatly
to the life and vigor of the societies.
THE FREE LANCE.
Yocum, '9l, as manager of the base ball team, is
arranging dates for games with several colleges.
It is not probable, however, that we will have
many games on our home diamond.
During vacation a number of the students who
remained about the college put up a tennis court
in the drill hall of the College Armory. It made
an excellent place to practice the game and afford
ed a very good means of passing the time for
those men who spent their vacation here.
While out on horse-back during vacation (ac
companied by a lady) Kintner, '93, was thrown
violently from the spirited animal which he was
riding. Falling into a soft and muddy portion of
the road, together with his presence of mind in
clinging to the reins while flying through the air,
saved him, fortunately, from sustaining any bodily
injury.
The second college assembly of the year will be
held in the Armory on the 2 4th of April, under
the auspices of the Senior class. The music will
be furnished, as usual, by Stopper and Fiske's or
chestra of Williamsport. It is to be hoped that
more of the students will attend the coming As
sembly than have in the past and thus aid the
class of '9l in making it both a social and a finan
cial success.
