Junor Week for 902 s now a thng of the past, and we are well started - or ought to be - on the home stretch for June examnatons. For one short week Technology has tred to make work take second place; and f wth the closng days of the ntermedate term at hand t was a rsky thng for some of us to do, let us hope that faculty and nstructors have made some lttle allowance for the season, and that good, conscentous work for the remanng month of the school year wll carry us through wth flyng colors. As a Junor Week we thnk t was thoroughly enjoyable and successful. Nature could hardly have favored us wth more pleasant weather; and ths s always a most mportant factor n a gala week. Asde from the mere pleasure of t, however, Junor Week has been of real value to the nsttute. We have all had a chance to get better acquanted. Students of the dfferent classes meet each other more n Junor Week than at almost any other tme; they meet nstructors and professors, and talk wth them on a dfferent plane; they meet outsde frends of the nsttute, and they have a chance to ntroduce ther own frends to Technology and Technology lfe. Junor Week serves also to sharply dfferentate the closng weeks of the year from the earler part. ts preparaton and celebraton have meant more or less neglect of work on the part of many, and we all know Technology studes won't stand a great deal of that sort of thng. The close of Junor Week, then, should be a begnnng pont for bucklng rght down to work and for the fnal efforts whch wll make the most of the few weeks remanng before the June examnatons. HE enthusasm shown,. at the approach of the three-cornered meet, 'f H1B" # between Dartmouth, Brown and Tech ( 2 speaks 1; well for the, push wth whch the E. 0, management s puttng ths affar through. Hardly ever before

2 T FE- lermc, was such a meet so well advertsed and the men traned wth so much vm as n the present case. The showng of the men n the nterclass Meet of a week ago was very satsfactory, takng nto account the bad weather of Saturday; and all ndcatons pont toward a very good showng, f not the wnnng, of the Trangular Meet. One cannot magne what an mpulse toward athletcs would the capturng of frst place at ths meet mean. The men who enter nto the events cannot alone be depended on to wn the meet.; they must have support n the shape of large attendance and hearty cheerng, n order to do ther utmost. Therefore the wnnng or losng of ths meet may depend entrely on the undergraduate body n general; and f they are loyal to Tech and wsh her to wn, they must, turn out n full force Saturday, May o. -The Annual Sprng Meet. A cloudy, rany mornng, last Saturday looked rather dscouragng for good work from the athletes at Solders Feld, but towards noon the sun came out a few tmes, and although the track was a lttle heavy there was a far attendance, and some dea could be formed as to the abltes of canddates for the track team whch s to meet Brown and Dartmouth. The frst event - the hundred-yard dash was run n three heats and a fnal. n the frst Boggs and Avery qualfed, n the second Wnchester and Fuller, n the thrd Crowell and Ancona. The fnal was won very prettly by Boggs, '0o4; Crowell, 'o 4, second. n the mle run Baker, 'o03, took the lead from the frst and kept t tll the end. Jenkns followed pluckly, and fell over the lne a close second. Prtchard, 'o5, was thrd. n the hgh hurdles pretty work was done by Emerson, 'o5, who won the fnal heat, wth Kruse, 'o 3, second, and Baker, '02, thrd. All the ponts n the half-mle run were made by '03; Baker, Manson and Hardenburg beng the wnners. The 220 sprnt was another pretty event. Boggs and Avery qualfed n the frst heat, Crowell and Goldthwate n the second, and the fnal went to Boggs, Crowell and Goldthwate. The next event was the two-mle run. Sweet, '04, took the lead and set a good fast pace, whch tred most of the bunch pretty rapdly. Sweet kept hs lead untl the last lap, when Worcester passed hm, and Rley wth a pretty spurt passed both and fnshed a couple of yards ahead. The three were the only ones to fnsh. The 220 low hurdles was a dead heat between Bary, 'o4, and Fuller, '05, wth Magntzky a close thrd. The fnal event of the afternoon was the quarter-mle. t was qute one-sded, as Pember won easly by several yards, Hardenburg and Manson conng n second and thrd. As a whole the runnng, though nothng phenomenal, was respectable, and wth a track n better condton, better results could have been shown. Much good materal has been brought out. Fullelr, 'o5, Brown and Edwards, '02, and Halley, '03, show promse, but need more tranng and stckng to t. # - + Monday afternoon the feld events were contested on the new track back of the shops, and some nterestng work was done. - n the hgh jump, Baetjer, n spte of the poor ground for takng off, cleared the Dar at 5 feet 7 nches n good form. Curts just scraped over an nch and one-quarter lower, and Emerson and Schaeffer ted for thrd. The broad jump was won very neatly by Frankln, and Bary on hs last jump secured second place. Grant was a close thrd. Curts won the pole vault wth the bar at o feet 3, betterng hs prevous record by

3 TPm "rm4=p nches. Eastman and Gannett both showed mprovement over prevous work, and ted for second place at o feet. Wnchester, '03, won easly n the dscus throw and shot put, but dd not equal hs prevous work. Lndsley, a new man from '05, took the hammer throw. Summary. oo-yard dash - W. B. Boggs, 'o 4, frst; J. W.

Just one week from Saturday, and we shall be able to see what the result of all Tech's work n athletcs ths sprng wll amount to. The work n the meet last Saturday can hardly be taken as a measure of the men's ablty because of the weather condtons. Consderng these, the work wasn't half bad. The feld events, too, n whch we expect to be especally strong, of course ddn't show up n Saturday's events. Ffteen men were taken nto tranng quarters at the Hotel Oxford on Wednesday of ths week, to lve there untl after the Trangular Meet. Ths s more than Tech has done for her track team for years, and we hope t wll produce results whch wll justfy the extra expendture. Tckets for the Trangular Meet wll be on sale n the Rogers corrdor all next week, begnnng at 9 o'cloc Monday mornng. The followng men were taken to trann. quarters: E. S. Baker, '02 (captan); H. c Baker, 'o03, Boggs, '04, Edwards, '02, Brown '02, Emerson, '03, Pember, '02, Curts, 'ol Worcester, '04, Baetjer, '02, Gleason, 'o03 Wnchester, 'o3. The Junor Prom. The Junor Prom., the most mportant soca event of the week, was held Thursday even ng at the Hotel Somerset. The hall wa prettly decorated wth palms and Technolog emblems; and after the frst few dances th floor was n excellent condton, the mus furnshed by the Nles Orchestra wa very good, and all- the arrangements o the commttee were satsfactory. The sup per room wth ts dm lghts and heavy beam was most charmng, and together wth a flgh of sofa-cushoned stars, formed a delghtfu retreat between the dances. The dancng be gan about half-past nne, and broken by th ntermsson for supper was contnued unttwo o'clock. Supper was served shortly be fore mdnght, whle a punch-bowl of lemon ade was always ready for those who wshe to quench ther thrst. About seventy-fve couples were present, mo.- of whom came from the Junor class, althoug a number of Senors and others were pesen The commttee n charge of the event were: F. Davs (charman), H. S. Baker, W. M. Drury, G. v Harrs, L. H. Lee, C. J. Mcntosh, G. B. Seym The matrons were: Mrs. Henry S. Prtchett, Mr Samuel J. Mxter, Mrs. Charles L. Mcntosh, Mr Wllam B. Rogers and Mrs. George H.

FRESHMAN BASEBALL. Malden Hgh-14, M.. T The Freshmen were defeated Wednesday, Aprl 23, by the Malden Hgh School. n ths game Captan Woods made hs frst appearance n the box, and made a very credtable showng n that he allowed only force hts and fve runs n the frst four nnngs. Smth n hs frst tral at center feld dd some very good work. Whle some of Snow's work at thrd base was very poor, a three-base ht covers a multtude of sns. - Another game was to have been played Saturday, Aprl 26, wth Tufts Freshmen. On account of the bad weather the Tech Freshmen were not expected, and so the Tufts team was not on hand. A scrub team was made up of Tufts men, and a game full of errors and fun was played off. At the end of the seventh nnng the game was dscontnued, wth the Tech team slghtly n the lead. On Saturday, May 3, the frst of the seres aganst the Sophomores wll be played at South End grounds. The admsson wll be 25 cents. Both classes are lookng forward to these games wth a great deal of nterest, as nether team shows an advantage as yet. As these games are the only means Tech uses to show her nterest n baseball, they are always hotly contested, and should awaken a deservng amount of feelng n all of the student body. MALDEN H. S. M..

Probably no Englsh actor - certanly no Amercan actor or stock company - would venture to play " Kng Lear "; the mllons of Amercan theatregoers would not make t pay. But the small foregn consttuency of Herr Conred's German Theatre supports yearly a repertory of equally "classcal" plays. The Shakespeare outlook for next year s not at present dscouragng. Mr. Sothern wll certanly revve hs "Hamlet"; Mss Crosman very probably her " As You Lke t," or another Shakespeare comedy; Mss Adams has promsed " As You Lke t "; and Mr. Mansfeld s reported to have n preparaton a lst exclusvely Shakespearean: revvals of hs '" Merchant of Vence," " Rchard " and "s Henry V," Any performance lke the Tech Show s sure of a certan knd of delghtful success.

Furthermore, young men playng grls' partsespecally f there s an attempt at beautful make-up or graceful carrage - are rresstbly amusng.

7 TH' EDTOR'S NOTE.-Mr. Smth, the busness manager of THE TECH, has been oblged to leave college on account of trouble wth hs eyes. He has been granted a leave of absence by THE TECH Board untl next year. n our last number we promsed a detaled account of the actng of the prncpals n "Appled Mechancs." nstead of ths the Theatregoer has consented to gve us hs mpressons of the Show. There s one thng certan, however: the Show was better than ever before.,. The entre stock of Rdler's Technology supply store was sold out at aucton Aprl 25. Ex-Presdent Crafts recently presented a hghly techncal paper before the Natonal Academy of Scences n Washngton. Hs subject was Catalyss, and hs reseaches n ths lne durng the past year. Those who purchased ther copes of THE TECH on Wednesday and dd not obtan copes of the Tech song, may obtan them by callng at the offce n the Rogers Buldng. Begnnng wth ths week the posters announcng the contents of THE TECH wll be prnted n red nk on gray paper, and may thus be dstngushed from the mass of other posters whch at tmes flood the bulletn boards. Professor Bard recently receved a letter from Capt. John Bordman, Jr., former mltary nstructor at the nsttute, congratulatng hm upon the ncreased nterest taken n mltary matters at Technology. Captan Bordman also' expressed hs dsappontment n TE:CH2- beng unable to be present as one of the judges at the comng Prze Drll. The Technque rush last Thursday noon was certanly the fercest and most strenuous rush ever held on a lke occason. The fact that the frst twenty copes of the book were to contan Presdent Prtchett's autograph was probably the extra ncentve that made ths rush the best. The frst copy was gven out at exactly twelve o'clock, and n ffteen mnutes eght hundred copes were dsposed of. The edton of ths year was eghteen hundred volumes. The Technology chambers are progressng rapdly, and wll probably be ready to be occuped by next September. The rooms are well arranged for student use, and are grouped nto sutes of three rooms,- two bedrooms and a study. The average cost of these sutes to each man wll be fve dollars per week. Downstars one fnds rooms for the gastronomc, socal and physcal needs of the student. The prce of meals wll be four dollars and a half per week. One need not take hs meals there f le does not want to. There s to be a small gymnasum n the basement, and several rooms where the students can meet socally. Next Saturday's Baseball Game. The Sophomore and Freshman classes have planned for May 3 a lttle party for the rest of the nsttute and ts frends, and ncdentally they wll at the same tme try to overcome one another n baseball. The game s the frst of a seres whch wll be won by the class takng the best two out of three games. The enthusasm bds far to be somethng unusual, for t s sad that after the Feld Day, when '05 sad to 'o4, "Go 'way back and st down," '04 repled: "'ll see you later." Ths s all rumor, however. Here are a few of the pleasant features of 237

Ths s sprng, and here s a chance for your young man's fancy to make a regular excurson and at excurson rates, too,- unusual opportunty at the nsttute. The most delghtful weather has been secured n advance, and wll be let loose on the feld for the exclusve use of the players and spectators: abundance '85. of brght sunshne, blue sky, etc. The game wll be played at the South End grounds. Snce the destructon and pantng of fences there n 900oo, the manager of the grounds has conceved a dstrust of M.. T. Freshman-Sophomore contests, and for ths game he has requred a heavy guarantee. For ths Presdent Prtchett and the presdents of the two classes have patrotcally made themselves lable. Tckets may be obtaned of members of 'o5 and 'o04, and at the grounds, for twenty-fve cents each. t s hoped that every man n the nsttute wll use two, and thus make of the game a very joyous affar.
