The last month of the college year saw undergraduate energy employed in trench digging and trench bailing to the exclusion of all regular activity. Beginning a week before the examinations and continuing through that period the bugle called for the assembly at 1.30 and it was after five when the flag was slowly lowered to the strains of the Star Spangled Banner and the Battalion dismissed. This program, together with what preparation was vouchsafed to the somewhat reduced time-table of recitations, very naturally meant the end of ordinary extra-curricular activities. Nothing was done except to keep the machinery in readiness for resumption at some time in the future. The record is therefore chiefly one of elections.
The Aegis board elected as its editor-in-chief for next year's publication, R. A. Clark '19 of Princeton, Ill. The president-elect of the Dramatic Association is E. W. Markey '18 of Evanston, Ill., and the leader-elect of the Mandolin Club, A. E. Lucier '18 of Nashua, N. EL With incomplete returns the election of R. L. Howland '18 of Brooklyn, N. Y., is indicated as leader of the Glee Club.
The Athletic Council has chosen the following men as managers of the various teams for the coming year: football, M. G. Drane '19 of Chicago, Ill.; baseball, M. L. Godman '19 of Columbus, Ohio; track, W. H. McCarter '19 of Topeka, Kan.; basketball, M. W. Hodgdon '19 of West Hartford, Conn.; cross-country, M. A. Norton '19 of Hudson Falls, N. Y.; hockey, C. F. Caswell '19 of Worcester, Mass.; tennis, D. F. Featherston '19 of Deal, N. J.; freshman football, W. B. McConnel '19 of Beaver, Pa.; freshman baseball, C. M. Sears, Jr., '19 of Lenox, Mass.
Six men were also elected by the Council on Student Organizations to positions of assistant managerships in the non-athletic organizations. The following were chosen : assistant-director of the Dramatic Association, L. D. Milligan '19 of LaGrange, Ill.; assistant-manager of the musical clubs, F. M. McCleery '19 of Salem, Ohio; chairman of the 1919 Prom Committee, C. W. Collins '19 of Manchester, N. H.; assistant stage manager of the Dramatic Association, D. C. Salmon '19, of Turner's Falls, Mass.; assistant business manager, N. K. Pearce '19 of Lawrence, Mass.; assistant property manager, H. B. Vinkemulder '19 of Grand Rapids, Mich. In all of the appointments listed above, action was taken regardless of whether the man in question was away from College in some form of national service or was still in residence. In case the successful candidate is not available next fall vacancies will be filled from the remaining" list of candidates.
The Outing Club has elected as its officers for the coming year C. L. Phillips '18 of Falmouth, Mass., president; W. W. Sanborn '18 of Sioux City, lowa, secretary; and C. C. Tripp '18, of Fairhaven, Mass., treasurer. Prof. C. C. Stewart was chosen as a faculty member of the council for the next six years.
Although no athletic activities were maintained during the spring the insignia was awarded to 12 men in baseball and 19 men in track who in the opinion of the Athletic Council had shown the necessary qualifications. In spite of the generally confused condition of life on the Campus the College is well represented at "the Northfield Student Conference with eleven men.
It has been the custom in this issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE to print a record of athletic scores for the year just concluded. Although the list that follows is shorter than in any year since records have been kept its brevity reflects no dishonor on the College or the athletic teams. For the sake of a complete and continuous record it is given as follows:
