baseball while facing the ursinus team last wednesday afternoon le high was able to roll up an ov erwhelming 11-1 score though the brown and white players demonstrated their superiority in every trip

the old cal culus cremations the sopho more class is renewing an an nual event which in former years was one of the most pop ular and entertaining occur rences of the year the crema tions were once so popular that they were attended by crowds of several thousand people the event is run in connection with the alumni festivities when the grads are happily reminded of their struggles with calculus and remember the professors who are being impersonated con on page 4 col 2 the cremation takes the form of a trial in which calculus is tried and found undeniably guilty and burned at the stake the trial takes place at night on lower field which is flooded with arc lights the characters ap pear one by one from all corn ers of the field and when they have all appeared the stage is converted into a courtroom in which all of the court officials witnesses and attorneys are gathered the trial proceeds and in the course of time cal culus is convicted and the action is then carried to upper field where his effigy is burned the participants in the trial are largely the impersonators of the well-known professors about college and the mannerisms and habits of those men are clever ly played upon by the actors - the cremation this year is to take place at 10 p m of the night of june fifth following the alumni banquet even though plans are rapidly nearing completion for the great bach festival to be held in the le high packer chapel may 29 and 30 this year possibly owing to the fact that the festi val was not held last year be cause of dr wolle's illness there has been a greater de mand
