Snce we have but the one day, Thanksgvng Day, there s every reason why we should make the most of t. Presdent Roosevelt, n hs proclamaton, asks us to set asde our " ordnary vocatons" on ths day. What s our ordnary vocaton? t sn't foot-ball, t sn't fussng, and we spend very lttle tme at png-pong. Wth these swept asde what else can reman? Ths - grndng. We all hate the grznzd, used n the worst sense of the word; but f we are frank unto ourselves, we surely must conclude that f the Tech man has any vocaton at all, that vocaton s grzndzno. But the grndng must cease -for one day. For Thanksgvng l)ay all mlls shut down. We have reached the frst mle-stone n the year's work. Wth' Thanksgvng Day crossed off the calendar, we are well along n our work. How are you standng t? Of course the summer's tan s fadng, but how are the muscles and the bran? Thanksgvng Day s a good tme to take account of physcal stock, lay n a lttle more, temporarly drop the " strenuous lfe " and recall to mnd the motto, " Don't kll yourself to keep yourself at Tech." COURSE FOOTBALL TEAMS. HE step taken by the fourth-year mners n formng a course football team, bds far to be a popular one. f the other courses accept ther challenge and we understand that at least one other course team s n the process of formaton we should have a seres of games whch, whle not hghly perfected examples of football, could be well worth followng. n another year, f the experment s successful, a regular league mght be formed, and there seems to be no reason why the plan could not be extended to baseball as well. These course contests would serve a valuable purpose n brngng the members of the varous courses more nto contact wth one another, and thus, n the end, greatly promote the general good-fellowshp so much to be desred,
76 W EDTORAL. nc TE call attenton to a communcaton n another column, from the charman of the Advsory Councl on athletcs, n reference to the mnysterous dsappearance of the two flags used n the relay race of Feld Day. t s hard to understand how any sngle ndvdual should approprate to hmself one of these flags; but someone has evdently done so. ;We feel sure, however, the present holders of these flags, f they once stop to realze the rghts and feelngs of ther class-mates n the matter, and consder the plan of the Advsory Councl, as mentoned n the communcaton referred to, wll comply wth the concludng request of the communcaton, and return them " no questons to be asked." Ths eternal search for souvenrs and room decoratons - ths " seekng after a sgn," as Presdent Prtchett once happly put t-- when carred to excess, as t often s, s one of the most chldsh customs of college students. NDOOR ATHLETC CONTEST. Y " HE nnovaton of the ndoor Athletc Contests at the gymnasum ought to do a great deal toward furtherng athletc sprt at Tech. t not only releves the gymnasum work of a great deal of ts drudgery and monotony, but also by excludng from the contests men who have won ther T's, that s, men who have won ponts n ntercollegate meets, t opens a much broader feld of contestants. Many promsng men are restraned from enterng athletc contests from the knowledge that they wll be ptted aganst athletes of superor tranng. Who can tell what materal for our Track Team these contests, wth ther restrant removed, may develop. The system of workng s also one whch should appeal to each man's class loyalty, demandng that he come forth and do the best he can to support hs class. We hope that when the entres close, Dec., that each class wll be well represented. M F- _ M 4-110' " All-round ndoor Athletc Contests. n order to encourage a more general practce of athletcs among students, there wll be held n the gymnasum, on the Tuesdays named below, from 4.30 to 5.45, an all-round athletc contest, consstng of twelve events, the scorng to be by ponts and cumulatve. The fve men makng the hghest total scores wll receve sutable przes. The class score wll be the total of the sx hghest scores n each class, plus the results of a seres of nterclass relay races, the teams to be made up of the men makng these sx hghest scores. n ths all-round contest, students who have won ther T's wll not be elgble.

The Advsory Councl heled a meetng last Tlhursday evenng, whch was n realty a. dnner, gven by Major Frank -. l3rggs, to those who were so actve n makng Technology Feld Day a success. There were present, outsde the Advsory Councl, Dean 13Bu1rton, Messrs. Swett and Smth, presdents of the Senor and JLlunor classes respectvely, and Mr. Grant, presdent of the Athletc Assocaton. The petton of Mr. Jewett that.messrs. Sweetzer and Sprague, substtutes n the relay team, be allowed numerals, was dened. The reason for ths s, that the rules governng Technology Feld Day were publshed some two or three weeks before the games, and any petton for any change should have been made before the games, and not subsequent to them. One can readly understand that the Councl cannot make retroactve legslaton. t was voted, however, that n succeedng years, not more than three substtutes n the relay team, whose names shall be gven to the Advsory Councl bcfore Technology Feld Day, shall be allowed numerals. A commttee consstng of Messrs. Morse and Wnchester was apponted to get up a desgn for a banner, to be furnshed by the wnnng class on Technology Feld Day, - same to have upon t the scores made and the total ponts, etc., and to be of the colors of the class. n return therefor, the Advsory Councl wll surrender to the captans of the teams of both classes, n trust for ther classes, the flags used n the relay race and tug-ofwar, and to the captan of the wnnng football team, the football used. The net profts of Feld Day were about $775, whch shows that t was a decded fnancal success. A Tech Sten. At last we are to have a Tech sten, just as Harvard has her sten, and 'Yale hers. There has never, to our knowledge, been a standard Tech sten, but the one whch wll appear wthn a few days bds far to be made the standard, as t embodes the Tech symbols. n vew of the fact that Tech has her class " Komnmers," t seems that there could be no better souvenr of these than a Tech sten. The accompanyng cut gves an dea of what the sten wll be. t s made from an Amercan clay of lght buff color, wth the seal n black, and the name "Technology" n cardnal-red old Englsh letters. The sten wll hold about a pnt.

DEAR SRS: On Saturday last, after the relay race, the flags carred durng the race should have been returned to me on the feld. nqury of the partcpants was to the effect that they apparently dd not know anythng about what became of them after the race. These flags are ntended to be used from year to year, and as a fnal dsposton are to be hung n the Trophy Room n the nsttute, so that n years to come there wll be a collecton there of much nterest to vstors and present and past students. As these flags are undoubtedly n the possesson to-day of some members of the Freshman and Sophomore classes, request that same be returned to me at 23 Blagden Street, and "6 no questons asked." trust that the present holders wll see the necessty of mmedate acton.

WL.LAR) has many qualtes that make hs actng excellent. t would be hard to say how much he owes to the personal charm whch makes " Tom Pnch," and the" Professor" wnnng, on the stage, and hs own prvate character, gracous. Hs voce alone would almost make an actor, and he has cultvated an enuncaton extraordnarly clear, easy, and wthout stagness. Besdes, he has physcal grace, whch shows, of course, n all hs parts, but at ts best, perhaps, n thatof " Davd (;arrck," -- partcularly n the ntervew wth " Alderman ngot,"- and n the studed polsh of mannersm n the suave "Baley Prothers." Though he seems to me never to attan really nspred nsght nto human character, though he never surprses by revelaton of unexpected truthfulness, hs actng remans none the less fnshed and ntellgent. All of hs plays ths season are delghtful, for he he has a very competent company, especally n the male parts. Daved Garrck s n tself a pretty comedy, of whch the unrefned, but hghly amusng, drunken scene s the best porton. The most vgorous plays are the two by Mr. Jones,- the Rg,,c-'s Conedl,, certanly the better, and, thnk, Mr. Wllard's best. There s a good deal of btterness under the laughter of Mr. Jones's comedes; both start wth dsaster,- a runed daughter of the fond old " Blenkarn," a par of mposters. temporarly successful, but unable to reveal themselves to ther only son. The amable characters of these plays are none too good,-" Blenkarn " s cruelly though blndly unjust to hs sufferng (aughter, " Nancy." The unamable, too, are a "precous gang," from " Mr. Chandler " or the " downy humbugs and w.hted sepulchres " among the women, down through complacent anmals lke " Batty Todd," to the rascals and beasts, lke " Lord John Bucklow." The whole world of these plays s, after all, a cruel and ptless world,- "a blackguard world " as "Mr. Chandler" calls t, though le has lttle rght to make the accusaton. For power, however, the Roqgue's Comed), s among modern comedes hardly surpassed; and as " Baley l'rothers," Wllard reaches, thnk, hs truest and most penetratng nterpretaton of character. 7hc 7/tzealre-oer.

Alas! THE LOUNGER s only an engneer. About four years before the Massachusetts nsttute of Technology ever came nto exstence, THE LOUNGER began to make uncomplmentary remarks about ths mnature Eden, whch les under our very noses, or does as long as we can stand the odors that arse therefrom. Many a tme has he waded through the mud, thck, black, and jucy. Many a tme has he asssted dstressed damsels (Smmons College need not apply), to cross the treacherous flood. And many a tme has he descrbed for the edfcaton of hs readers, the artstc groupngs and the totfe ensemble of dead cats, drowned mce, and potato skns, and sw-- ahem, garbage receptacles, whch grace the approach to one of our largest and most mportant buldngs. Durng the wnter months, the eastern end of ths Paradse Alley s a vertable Slough of Despond, crossed by a fant track bordered wth heaps of dyspeptc beet greens, and decayng turnp tops, whch mark the way lke the carns on a mountan tral, and cheer the tred plgrm on. Of course t s very desrable for the santary engneers to have such a deuced unsantary place to experment on, and the alley s also of great advantage to the Course X. men, for use n advanced optons n practcal navgaton. No doubt the Faculty has always taken these reasons nto consderaton when they have decded to keep the alley n.s present abomnable state, but f THE LOUNGER were dong the job he would strke the Bursar for $T5.oo, and put a board-walk the whole length of the alley. A Freshman approached THE OUN(;ER a few days ago and asked hm to make a rule requrng all Coeducatonals to remove ther hats n lecture rooms He has decded to make no such rule, and may hs tongue cleave to the roof of hs mouth f he ever does. What s responsble for ths decded atttude? A Symphony n blue and gray, a Duet of heavenly harmony, the Sweetest Chord that velvet ever struck! n other words, a hat. t ntercepted the rays of lght vbratng from the blackboard to THE LOUNGER'S eye. Around the perphery of the brm was gathered As THE LOUN(;ER, enterng slowly, sank nto hs accustomed place before the open grate, he vowed that the world was a cold, hard place, especally the student world. (You see, he had just heard hs pet "co-ed" make a derogatory remark about THE LOUNGER.) Hs frend the edtor, seeng that THE LOUNGER was really ll, lt the fre n the grate, and then, to THE LOUNGER'S amazement, flled hs ppe wth some of hs own mxture (he usually used THE LOUNGER'S), and rushed back to spol some "Freshe's'' dream of a lterary future. THE LOUNG;ER sghed, he was wrong, there was one place that wasn't cold and hard, and that was the heart of the edtor-n-chef. Wth ths thought comfortng hm he settled back n hs char and prepared to enjoy a few mnutes' quet and a half an hour's smoke. As he watched the smoke curl upward, hs mnd seemed to become clearer. He saw the smoke take shape - not much of a shape, but stll a shape -and he recognzed hs old frend, the Prof. of Descrp-. Gazng as f fascnated upon hm, he saw hs lps move, and suddenly these words were thundered at hm; "THE OUNGER wll please take ths sheet, on whch s a plan of the Rogers steps, and revolve them nto H.
