Out to the lakes, up to the mountains, away to the north woods with haiidknit- ted swim suits, striped sun-umbrellas, freckled noses, sand in your hair . , . the glories of a summer vacation out of town ? In the city, on the wrong side of the Hacks, feverish little children swelter in the dusty hot streets -lovable little cherubs whose only fault is that they haven't any money. And so they must melt through the .summer, gelling into the deepest possible mischief, and in the autumn they will go back, restless as ever, al school. Last year the ('. V. O. deeided to give the little urchins in the crowded sections of the city something to do, to keep them out of mischief. They started play schools in the city parks where they gave the children two hours of healthy play Faculty Entertained At Belden-Stratford Places at the Faculty Banquet Sun day evening were marked by diminutive College banners, suspended from small stands, and favors were copies of the class poem, written by Jane Malkemus. embossed and water colored and framed in crimson and gold.

Goodwin, J.D., professor of political sei- encc, concluded the program with a tribute to the Holy Father. and a little religion every day, for about c weeks of the summer. TJicidasscs ol children grew with every week, un til the C. V. O. was desperate for more playground space and more teachers. This year, the summer play schools will start again bigger and better than before -if teachers present themselves. They don't particularly want Ph. D.'s or miniature Einsteins, but they are very anxious for patient, intelligent college girls. How about shunning for a week or two the lakes and the mountains and what ever you generally d;;, and pretending that you are impervious to the city sun and the city dust, to make the children have a busy, happy summer? At worst, ii is something different to do. At best, it provides novelty, and the stimulating assurance of Eternal recompense.
