JUNIOR MASCOT UNVEILEDIN THE MOHICAN.

SERENADED BY FRESHMEN ANDSOPHOMORES.

F'h-s t, the Juniors had a special trol-ley to take them to the hotel. Then,they had the main dining room. MostJuntor classes content themselves withu mere grill room-but not so 1923-they must needs have the main room.At a long table. continuing allaround the room, save for the rreces-sarv opening at the door, and decor-ated with ferns and. pyramid place-cards and' lighted by candles, sat theninety-one members of the class-three ex-members who came back es-pecially fat' the banquet-ElizabethOolladay, Anita Greenbaum and LeslieAlder-man, and the Honorary members,President and Mrs. JUan;hall, Dean:Kye, Dr. Black, and' Mr. Doyle whocame down from Amherst. In thecenter of the table in front of theirpresident a white pyramid arose fromthe ;'desert sands," and surrounded bypalms and camels, a white pyramid atwhich everyone cast awed glances.They sang-of course they would-

their class song; they sang to all theirhonora.1'y members. Eventually theysrwg tl,eit- Alma 1\1'a.tel'.but the songof lhe evening ·was to their ma.,cut--the Sphinx which had' been under thewhite pyramid, - thTobbing Orientalmusic to whiCh Caroline Ft'ancke, inEgyptian costume, danced with ex~CIuisite grace.Then came the Freshmen to sing in

tlte lobby, 'fhe Juniors were dulypleased by thcil' singing but what madethem s\vell with pdde at lhe original-ity of their little sister-class was whenElizabeth 'Vrenshall came in dressedas a small boy. in their class colors!Xot only that but Betty was dngginga tiny express wagon. decked in 1925'spurple and' gold, and holding a bouquetof gold tea-roses and purple violetswhich she presented to Julia Warner,The Juniors had much difficulty in re-membering their dignity-expressed bycandle light and evening gowns-andceasing from cheering those "cutekids."President iVJarshall was called upon

to speak of those qualities for whichthe Sphinx stands-wisdom and stead-fastness and, with his gift of alwayssaying the right thing at the righttime, told the class that they couldnot have made a better choice thantheir mascot with its attendant sug~gestions,Dean :-';ye told several amusing an-

ecdotes about various faculty membersand their Det mispronunciations. Shesaid one of the most eminent of pt'esentfaculty had been reading about a well-known African and, in speaking abouthim later, referred to him as the"Blackie," Dean Nye said she wouldstop there to allow "our own dearBlackie" to speak,Dr. Black CIuite warmed the hearts

of '23 by saying that she and they hada bond in common-that the music oftheir class song was the same as thatof her own class in a Western Uni-versity.The surprise of the evening was in-

troduced by the Sophomores with theirContinued on page 1" column !!.

ELENA GERHARDTSINGS AT THE LYCEUM.

On the eve ntng of January 12th, thethird concert of OUI' series was held inthe Lyceum, At this time, Elena Ger-hardt, meaao-sopra.no, and perhapsthe greatest interpreter of song, wasthe soloist. She was accompanied byCoenraad Bas, to secure whom, b~-the way, the management made con-stdet-nble extr-a effor-t, for he ,is with-out doubt the most desirable of ac-companists. ,Mme. Gerhar-dt sang three groups ct

songs; a group of Schubert's songs, amodern g ro up. and lastly a group ofBrahms' songs, The first and the lastg,I'OUPSwere sung .in German. with theexception of Schuber-t's "Har-le Hadethe Lark." The songs of Schubert in-cluded '''I'he El-lking," and "Deathand the Maf den." Mme, G€1rhal'dt'.gintel'pretation of these two was partic-ularly noteworthy. The tC'ITifiedchild,the unCiOncerned famh€ll',,the relentlessErlking - l"ach was easily recognJ-zable thru the meditum ,of il\:fme. Ger-hal-elt's voice,Of the group of modern songs, the
