Students from high > schools who cannot offer the mini- ? mum of twelve units will be required to take the examinations ror entrance N to the Freshman class. This is a a standing rule or tlie south laroun^ ^ association of colleges. ' It is expected t-iat the Freshman c'ass at Newberry this year will be as large as usual, and there are good ^ reasons for believing it will be the ? i a largest in many years. The college i still maintains a Sub Freshman class, * i for boys who find it impossible to get in their home schools the required , preparation for entrance. This class v will have a big enrollment next year. n Besides the large Freshman and Sub c1 Freshman classes there will be the 1 . . . s usual addition to the upper classes,' ' l particularly the Junior. ' ! Tlie dormitories and buildings of r : the college group have been thoroughly renovated during the summer vacation. The boarding hall will agaiii * b? under the management of Mrs, ^ A. C. Haitiwanger who gave such a entire satisfaction to the students v last session. : ^ ! Plans are being. laid for the foot hall season, to play the schedule oi p games already adopted. Newberry ft will meet all the colleges on the * gridiron this fail, having added Clem- 11 son to the list. The game with Pres- ^ byterian college will be played this Thanksgiving at Clinton. Last session Newberry won the basketball championship for the third year in succession. It also won the baseball championship. J .Military training will Tj given a* the college, as a substitute ror tne gymnasium work. It was decided that thisj would prove quite as valuable as physical exercise, and will also serve a partiotic purpose. I Mr. William E. West has been engaged to give the course in Military Science and coach the athletic teams. Mr. West is a graduate of the Oklahoma State A. and M.1 He comes to Newberry with a splendlc recorfl as ail athlete and instructor. ; Newberry students will miss Prof. 0. B. Cannon when1 the return, in fact all friends of the college will regret to learn that he has resigned to accept the superintendence* of tne Newberry city schools.' During tne i fourteen years of his connection with the college Prof. Cannon endeared himself greatly to a host of Newberry men who learned to admire him for his scholarship and Tove him for his sterling character. Arrangements are being made to supply his chair mathematics by the time college opens. | I GODD CHILDREN ABE HEALTH! run ni)r\ V lilUl/lVIi i.1 Xo child is really healiy unless Its eyes are right.
