Heaton, Captain
At a meeting of the members of
the Varsity basketball team last
Monday, W. Y. Heaton. ’O6, was
elected captain for next year. Heat
on played a steady game this year
and is about the best man for the
position. We are sure he will make
good.
The training table was discon
tinued on Sunday Next Saturday
the Varsity will enjoy a banquet at
Harrison’s.
The games that remain are the
scrub game with Williamsport High
School and the class games.
Base Ball
Owing to the short time in which
to prepare for the Southern baseball
trip, Captain Ray has selected 17 of
the most prominent candidates £rom
which to select a team. Indoor
practice is a handicap at the best
but the team is steadily getting into
shape.
It is hoped that mother earth will
throw off her winter robe in time to
give the boys a chance on the athle
tic field before thir departure.

The Thespians
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the Thespians at their per
formance of ‘ ‘The Boomerang, ’ ’ in
Bellefonte, last Monday evening.
The people say it was one of the
best plays given by the Thespians
in years. Specialties were rendered
by Fitzimons, in “Fishing,” the
1905 Quartet, and Saunders. All
numbers were loudly applauded and
encored several times.
The curtain rose at 8.30 and the
play lasted until 11 o’clock after
which the boys were entertained at
an orchestra dance given by Miss
Hamilton.
Berzelius Club
At a well attended meeting of the
Berzelius Chemical Society held
at 6.30 last Monday evening, the
annual eastern trip was discussed at
some length. Dr. Pond was pres
ent and gave an outline of what the
trip will include this year. He was
followed by Mr. Rentschler, who
gave a very interesting account of
the trip of 1903. The excursion as
outlined this year will include points
of interest about New York and
Philadelphia. Assembling in New
York on Monday morning, Mar. 27,
the students will spend a few days
in that vicinity and leave for Phila
delphia on the 31st. Many promin
ent industries have already signified
their consent to allow the classes to
visit their plants and Dr. Pond an
ticipates a very pleasant and profit
able trip.
Ways of a great man oft remind us,
That we can be as great as they ;
And departing, leave behind us
t, Wise things that we didn’t say.
