The Preparatory department has made an ex
cellent record in athletics this year. If we only
had a little of their enthusiasm in college classes
we might accomplish more.
The bleachers, or seats on the athletic grounds
will be erected as soon as possible. They will
occupy a position near the finishing stakes and
will accommodate about 300 persons.
The Senior commencement orators have recent
cently been announced. They are Miss Nellie
Meek, H. R. Pratt, R. Kessler, W.. McKee, and
M. McDowell. The class has elected McDowell
valedictorian.
R. B. I'Mattern, ’93, represented the Free
Lance at the “Central Inter-Collegiate Press As
sociation” meeting held at the Colonnade Hotel.

“The Possibilities of a Consolidated Collegiate
Press Association in the United States.”
It is understood that a lecture will be given this
month on the Treasury department by one of the
treasury experts. If it proves as entertaining and
instructive as the address by Col. Seeley, U. S.
Commissioner of Patents, on ‘ Our Patent Sys
tem,” Wednesday, April 20, we shall consider
ourselves very fortunate. .

wain, Mrs. Jno. Pemberton, and Mrs. S. A. Wolf.
Dancing began at 8.30. The music was furnished
by Stopper and Fisk of Williamsport. It was the
opinion of all who have attended any of the form
er assemblies that this one overshadowed all others,
and that ’92’s last hop will not soon be forgotten.
To accommodate the Bellefonte people, a special
train was run on the Central, reaching here about
8 and returning after the dance.
