DARK  BLUE  BANNER  NOW  ON  GYM
THE   NIGHTMARE   A   SEA HORSE
LETTER8 TO ENGLISH SOLDIERS
1919 Adopts Modern Staging for Show      Red Cross Committee Asks for Magazine!
1918 Champions in Water-Polo
1918 by defeating 1919, 8-1, won the
first team championship in water-polo,
and hung their banner on the Gym in
the place of the red one which has been
there since the end of basket-ball season
last year. The Freshmen, by their good
defensive work, kept the score much
lower than might have been expected as
the ball was almost always near the
Freshman goal. The Sophomore for-
ward line never missed an opportunity
to snoot for a goal, while the Freshman
forwards were the weak place on the
team. Though 1918 clearly out-played
1919, the game was exciting throughout,
for the Freshmen never seemed to lose
(CotiiiNMii on Pass 5)
M. Martin deserves credit for the
smoothness of "A Nightmare", a musical
comedy in three acts which 1919 pre-
sented to 1918 on Saturday night. The
show was a welding of the necessary ani-
mal-finding plot and some College hits
with actual musical comedy material and
style of presentation. In this latter qual-
ity lies the only fault of the production,
that it copied the hackneyed musical com-
edy too much and showed too little of the
originality for which a pure College per-
formance gives opportunity. The hippo-
campus, or sea-horse, was the unwieldy
animal on whom the slight plot centered.
Of the principals, C. Hayman, as the book-
stand keeper, did the best and most amus-
ing piece of acting In the show.
The first act began with a dance by
four dapper dress suit men and a group
of 1919 in brilliant evening gowns, who
were given a series of entertainments.
FirsL J. Peabody and G. Hearne as Mr.
and Mrs. Vernon Castle, Impersonated the
famous Pierrot cover of Vanity Fair. The
next diversion was a procession of vari-
ous cities, of which Chicago and New
York were the most striking. With Bobby I
Spruce, A. Moore, came the hit of the first j
act, the reporter's song, and the first men-
t ion of the class animal, whose absence
was explained by the charms of the avia-
tion chorus and the chorus of dice. The
act ended with the sudden appearance of
E. Dabney, a member of '19. who rushed
in with the news that the animal was lost
and fainted, as the curtain fell, Into the
ready arms of Bobby Spruce.
The 42d Street Subway, in Act II, was
the scene for C. Hayman's caricature of
the shop girl type, In which she Intro-
duced the song, "I Keep a Book Shop",
which won as much applause as the Ban-
ner show song, "I Didn't Raise My Girl
to Be a Chicken". The cleverest allusion
to College came when the four football
stars suddenly turned their backs to the
audience and embraced 1919, displaying
a large 1-9-1-7. The other classes were
represented by a chorus of dark blue po-
liceman and light blue dancers. The po-
liceman's drill showed careful training
and a keen enjoyment of the fun of the
thing.
The Red CrosB Committee, which has
written to Mme. Cons for the addresses,
is making up bags of gifts to send to
fifty soldiers. The bags are to contain
cards, chocolate, colored soap, pipes, and
particularly a personal letter, with the
address of the sender. There is nothing
the men enjoy more than to receive and
answer letters.
The woolen articles that were banded
in were all sent directly to Mme. Cons.
The committee asks also that the fac-
ulty and students contribute any maga-
zine they may have to be sent to the hos-
pitals for English soldiers. Contributions
may be handed in to Miss Jeannetta Jam-
eson, Pembroke West.
lng. Miss Thomas will give the opening

The resignation of R. Cheney, "18, from
the office of treasurer of the Self-Govern-
ment Association was accepted at the
self-government meeting last Thursday
night. The policy of the Association in
regard to reporting was also definitely
decided by the vote that all membefe of
Self-Government, both officers and indi-
viduals, be held responsible for reporting
Infringements of rules, If their informa-
tion be gained through direct observa-
tion.
During the discussion of the resigna-
tion, an effort was made to Insert In the
by-law which provides that the Board can
require testimony and inflict punishment
for refusal of the same, the clause, "with
the exception of testimony gained through
confidence". The Association, however,
upheld the president In her ruling that
the by-law, as it stood, did not affect Miss
Cheney and that an amendment to a by-
law could not be passed without 48 hours'
notice.
The resignation was then accepted.
The motion made earlier In the meeting
to rescind the resolution, that members
of the Association other than the officers
should not be lequired to report, was
taken from the table and passed. The
new resolution, that all members of Self-
Government be held responsible for re-
porting offenses was then passed with the
amendment that testimony should be
gained through direct observation.
