CLASS EDITIONS OF THE STAR
During the years in which the
Star has been published, each
class has had an opportunity to
show its spirit of pep, its genera,
and ability as a class, by being
permitted to furnish the mater-
ial for an edition of the paper.
This year the same proposition
is to be offered and we hope to
have the same rivalry and pep
put into it that has heretofore
accompanied such work. We be-
lieve some good papers can be
put out and it will certainly
relieve the “every week prob-
lem of the editor.
Our plan for the publications
of these issues is that each class
may or may not use their regu-
lar class editor, as editor. If
they do it will avoid much
trouble and the altogether break-
ing in of a new hand. If they do
not, it might be advisable to have
the regular class editor as a
member of the staff. Other than
the editor there may be as many
assistants as is deemed neces-
sary by the class. The Seniors
are to have the first of these class
editions and we would like for
this issue to be published on the
17th of March. The Juniors are
to put out the second one on the
24tli of March; the Sophomores
on March 31st, and the Fresh-
men on April 7th.
again the issue of the Star that
contained the article, “Are You
a Clean Sport?” It seems as
though the spirit that is advo-
cated in this article is lacking
among the tryouters of the track
tea m.
Regardless of the experience
of the man chosen captain, of his
ability as an athlete or any per-
sonal defects, the thing to do is
to go in and support that man
as tho he were the best man that
was ever chosen or could ever be
chosen from your number. Do
not be a quitter because things
do not go your way. Both men
that were run for captain the day
of the election were excellent
men for the position and both
were deserving of the honor.
However, two men cannot hold
such a place at the same time.
In a case like that, be loyal to
the one elected and proceed with
all that is in you to make the
track work better every day.
CHAUTAUQUA
The Chautauqua Literary So-
ciety enjoyed one of the best
programs of the year today,
March 6. The principal feature
of the program was a debate.
The subject for discussion was.
resolved: “That we should adopt
the method of spelling as recom-
mended by the Simplified Spell-
ing Board.” The affirmative won
the decision by a vote of two to
one.
Indeed all the boys were feel-
ing fine, partly because of the
good program, but principally
because they wTere planning to en-
tertain the Pierian Girls next
Saturday evening somewhere
near the source of the San Mar-
cos river. When the committee,
which was appointed to make
arrangements for the occasion,
announced the program that is to
, be executed around inviting fires
The classes will probably be/l^ the twilight, the faces of the

that they will have plenty of time
