In spite of the fact that water polo is officially a dead sport in the Spaulding Pool, amateur enthusiasts became interested to such a degree that the Recreational Activities Committee sponsored a series of "rec" elimination contests for the College championship. The results were so successful and the interest evinced so widespread that we look to this sport to be incorporated with the numerous other activities of this department.

Significant among the attempts of fraternities to prove their cultural place in the College was the inter-fraternity play contest sponsored by the Dartmouth Players and held in the Little Theater in Robinson Hall. The contest and the accompanying cup, donated by Mary Gray Gile, were captured by the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity with their excellent production of "Release," by Edward H. Smith. Zeta Psi and Delta Kappa Epsilon were the other two finalists from the starting field of ten to survive until the finals. On April 20th, The Dartmouth produced another attempt to keep the College up in the air in regard to dispensing information concerning the current events of the campus. On page three of the above issue a sizeable head gave forth the disappointing news that the outdoor tennis courts would not be ready for several weeks, thus crushing the playing hopes of the numerous racquet wielders which the College boasts. On page four, however, tucked away in an inconspicuous freshman tennis team story, was discovered the startling news that Groundkeeper John Coombs would have the courts ready in three days. Perhaps it was the languor brought on by the spring weather that allowed the contradictory stories to pass the copy reader's eyes or perhaps, as is generally believed, it is all part of a very definite plan to provide a slice of humor with the morning toast side and coffee.

OROZCO AT WORK The Mexican artist about to complete his fresco, "Release," at the end of the corridor leading from Carpenter to Baker. No idea of the values of color can be given in this photograph. This is the second fresco done on the walls of an American college, the other being Orozco's gigantic "Prometheus" at Pomona College.
