Freshman Banquet,
On Friday night, March 2, the
Freshman class held its banquet at
the Park Hotel, Williamsport. The
affair was a complete success, the
toast-master, all the speakers and a
large majority of the class being pre
sent.
The class left the college at 5:30
a. m. Friday, and met a special train
at the old stone quarry, reaching Wil
liamsport without further incident.
In the afternoon a party of 30 or
40 Sophomores followed the Fresh
men and posted themselves around
the hotel. They stayed there till
late in the evening and succeeded in
catching a few Freshmen, whom
they released in time for the banquet.
After an impromptu “stag" in the
hotel ball-room the banquet began.
When the dinner had been finished
toast-master Eberly called on the
following men for toasts:
P. B. Postelwaite, The Red and the
Blue,
H. A. Hey, Ambition,
H. P. Reese, Athletics,
G. C. Pidgeon, Our Sweethearts,
E. Pitcairn, Jr., The Faculty,
L. N. Skemp, Our Scraps.
After the regular program “Pop”
Gleason told the class how he got
there, and Thomas, Atcheson, Bar
nett and Bell made short addresses.
“Jimmy” Sebring, who happened
to be present, was then called on for
a few words, and the affair wound
up with the usual cheers and flash
light.
Inter=Class Basket Ball Game.
The basket ball squads of the
Freshman and the Sophomore class

head and Holzworth as Captain and
STATE COLLEGE, PA., MARCH 8, 1906
Manager, respectively, while the
former has elected Ross, Captain
and Pennell, Manager.
The Sophomoies have Moorhead,
Zink, Leathers, Burns and Thomas
of last year’s team and a number of
others who have shown up well in
practice both last year and this.
Less is known of the Freshman ma
terial, but they are working steadily
and expect to give the Sophomores
a hard game. As usual, there is
quite a little speculation on the out
come of the contest, with the Sopho
mores slightly in the lead.

Boat, ” “ Idle Thoughts of an Idle
Fellow,” “American Wives and
Others, ” etc. Mr. Loomis is at his
best when relating some of the
humorous anecdotes that have made
him famous.
A special train will run from
Bellefonte on Friday evening, thus
giving the residents of that town the
opportunitv to enjoy this “feast of
