SCHOOL NEWS. HOTCHKISS SCHOOL. The Glee Club under the direction of Mr. A. B. Hall, Yale ’99, is develop- ing into the best club ever at the school, the Mandolin and Banjo Clubs are up to the standard and there is every chance for a first class concert in Feb- ruary. The St. Luke’s Society is doing excel- lent work and the meetings are always full. Following the custom at Yale, the system of systematic giving has been adopted and is working splendidly. ANDOVER. All of the Andover publications are in a flourishing condition. The Philliptan last term was rather lifeless; but this term a decided improvement is shown. With the recent addition of several new members to the Editorial Board, still further improvement is likely. The Mirror is in a better condition than ever before. The Pot Pourri promises to be a great success. Several new artists of unusual ability will draw for it this year. The hockey season at Andover had a rather inauspicious opening, January 13, the team being defeated by Newtown A. A. 6 to o. The home team showed lack of experience and poor team work; although at times there was some good individual playing. Newtown played a hard, swift game, showing great experi- ence. Andover lacked two of her best men, who were kept out on account of poor scholarship. The veteran Seniors held their ban- quet at the Franklin House in Lawrence Saturday evening, January 20, and the affair was a success. Fred Lewis Col- lins was toastmaster. Tuesday evening, January 23, the dramatic club gave a vaudeville perfor- mance in the town hall for the benefit of the Athletic Association, which was a great success. This was a new ven- ture on the part of the dramatic club and President H. B. Noble and the members who took part deserve much credit for its success. The music was furnished by the Glee Club and was unusually fine. F. G. Becker appeared as a magician. His skill in this line is worthy of a professional. G. R. Spencer did the sand dance in style. A trio, composed of J. S. Seabury, E. L. Barney and L. S. Tyler rendered a coon medley that brought down the house. “Two Swells,” a tramp sketch by G. A. Childs and L. B. Sheldon, was considered by many the best thing on the program. “The Veneered Savage,’ a two act farce, closed the entertainment. All the parts were played in fine style. The cast: Miss Low Usmyton::.. ...... N. F. Bartlett. Miss Madge Dayton..... N. R. Becker. The Duchess of Diddlesex..F. K. Hill. Lady see es 2 S.-H Elrich. Lord Algernon Penryn...F. G. Becker.

The Society of Inquiry has changed its regular Wednesday evening meeting to a Bible Class with Mr. L. W. Snell, P. A. ‘9%; Of the Theological Seminary, as instructor. The Winter baseball practice is going on in the old gymnasium. Seven of last year’s men are out and enough good new material to make the outlook very promising. LAWRENCEVILLE. The Periwig Club (dramatic) will give “A Night Off, or a Page from Balzac” for its annual performance. The play will probably be given twice— the last of February and during Prom week. The members of this year’s club are: Reiley, Lillie, Sloane, Gaddis, Adler, Munsen, G., Wick, Pillsbury, Brown, F., Nixon, J., and Kessler.

Next year’s football Captain will be Boyd, who played end on this year’s team. Only three men will be back— Davidson, Butler and the Captain. ST. MARKS. The call for candidates for the St. Marks baseball team has been issued and a large number of names have been It is too early to speak de- finitely of the team, but the outlook is promising, six of last year’s players be- ing back. Captain Carpenter has sepa- rated the candidates into two squads and batting practice in the cage will be- gin immediately. The Fives Court, given by the school alumni, is practically completed and will be ready for use within a week. It is built at the back of the gymnasium and contains a single and a double court.
