I.
Clemson and Auburn played
two games of ball last week.
The score in the first game was
11 to I and in the second 8 to 0,
both in favor of Clemson.
Friday evening March 29th,
at the old Chi Phi rooms over
Brumby’s drug store a delight
ful dance was given in honor
of fhe visiting young ladies.
The music for the dance was
calculated to set the feet vibrat
ing in “rag time.” About the
usual hour the couples began to
arrive but no band. The boys
in charge wondered, got mad.
and finally left lint hall on a
wild-goose chase for the music.
From one end of the midway to
tin 1 other they searched but
nothing was to be seen of the
band. At last an aggregation
(by courtesy called a band)
was secured through the sym
pathies of the carnival folk.
“Pharaoh’s Daughter” lent her
guitar and violin, “Speedy,”
the high diver, sent a bass-
drum, while “ Esau,” the “Wild
Man,” and the “German Vil
lage” were represented by cor
net, alto-horn, and snare drum
respectively. Varied and sun
dry costumes adorned these mu
sicians and till that was lacking
to make the band complete was
the Turk with his ear-splitting
little horn.
It was after eleven o’clock
when this music was secured,
and though the time was rather
mixed and “Who blowed dot
bum note” was often the ques
tion, everyone had a good time.
Seveinl of the boys took turns
in lending figures and several
new and interesting ones were
introduced.
The pleasure of the evening
was greatly added to by having
Mrs. George Thomas for chape
rone.
Those present were: Mrs.
George Thomas chaperone,
