Cothrnn of Greenville, chairman ol tin- committee, is huslly engaged ill making final preparations for the occasion which will doubtless prove tu be a most successful and pleasant one. A very attractive card lias heen selected and every one is looking forward to the event with ? great deal of interest. The financial sc heme launched by Lieut. Jesse Gaston, Commandant of ('.Klein some weeks ago. and which met the hearty approval of the Cadets, has In en adopted and will become ef fective as soon as all of the parent:* or gunrdiuns remit the required amount. The idea, which Is based upon the same system us that used at West Point, is to establish a class fund which Is to be drawn upon to defray the expenses of the various entertainments, bops, lecture, athlet ics, etc. in return the Cadets will be admitted to all of these functions free of charge. A number of baseball enthusiasts took advantage of the warm weather of the past week by "warming up" every afternoon so as to early rid themselves of sore arms, tender bunds, etc. in u short while class baseball will become the rnge and the diamond on the campus will bo the scene of some exciting contests. Tho championship last vear was won by tho Juniors, who, now being senior?, expect to boast another chumpion rdilp aggregation. It is n safe bet that they will have this coveted pleasure unless tho varsity should happen to draft some of their players. Tho Sphinx will ho sent to the press, it is hoped, by March 15. In dications are that the edition this year will be one of the best ever pub lished by the corps of cadets. These who deslro a copy should make appli cation for samo within the next few weeks as the number ordered from tho printers will he limited by the de mand for them. The price of tho book is $;J.OO.
