The debate will take nlace at both places at the same time, at about 1:30 in the afternoon. Mr. Noyes will accompany the nega five team to Harrishurs. Both teams expect a good fight from the Harrisburg teams. Last year Central gained a two-to-one decision on both sides of the bonus bill de- bate, and Harrisburg is coming back for revenge. Of last years cham- plonship teams not one is in the present outfit. This year's teams are oth “green,” but have developed 2to strong debaters. under Coach Noves. Hubert Stecd, last year's cap- tain of the negative, gave members of the teams some valuable sugges- tions. The debaters have been ped this year, because of the difficulty of obtaning the use of the auditorium, which Is being used by the Dramatie Association; vet the Central orators have worked every afternoon and they also have worked through the Easter vacation, and will meet Har- risburg Friday with vigor to beat Harrisburg again this vear.

The Bulletin office was busy as soon as the furniture was installed, as Wednesday is copy day | for the publication. The new furni- ture was christened by the entire Bulletin staff. Preparations are getting under way for the annual publications din- ver. This dinner is given by the school to the staffs of the publica- tlons and is in form like that of the famous Gridiron dinners. Last year the first publications dinner was held. This vear's staffs are going to make the coming one a gala affair. The dinner probably will take place on the Central roof garden. Plans for the dedication of the Central stadium as the Emory M. Wilson memorial stadium, in honor ©f a former principal of Central, now are in the making. It is planned to hold the dedication ceremonies during the first week in June. The entire student body will be present, with the members of the faculty and board of education. This dedication was proposed several years ago and received the sanction of the school board recently.

Final rehearsals are being held for the annual Western spring play to be given in the auditorium of the school April 19, 20 and 21. “The Win- ter's Tale,” selected for presentation, and to overcome the rather unfortunate ban placed upon the employment of stage settings, it has bheen necessary to produce the play in the Elizabethan style, a novel method in the local high schools. hut one that bids fair to be a success in every way. The scenery to be used in the offering is now under construction and must necessarily by of unusual heauty. In the Shakespearean productions, with the omission of a curtain or much movable scenery the settings are superb in workmanship and appear- ance. The cast of the play has been definitely selected, and is as follows: Perdita, Rae Wilson: orizel, Orme Libbey: Leonte: William Scott; Ca- millo, Roger Robb: Cleomenes, Wil- liam Clopton; First Gentleman, Tom Wells; Second Gentleman, Ellwood Simpson: Polixenes, Oliver Gasch: Archidamus, Tom Stephens: Old Shep- herd, Gordon Minnergerode: clown, Oliver Anderson; Autolyeus, David Whelchel; Father Time, Miles Ilint; Hermione, Louise Flint; Paulina, Mary Conrard; Mopse, Margaret Wil- son; Doreas, Caroline Marsh court ladies, Christine Stewart, Sara Pick Dorothy Croissant, Irene Mead: shep i herds, James Douglas, Llewellyn Humphrey, Franei Stephens. David Burke. Allan Foster, Arthur Griffith: shepherdesses, Marie Suter, Clark, Avril Stewart, Doroth Reed: Jessic Booth, Margaret Watts and Dorothy Smith. The Western battalion has com- menced work on the most important part of the competitive drill pro- gram, for, although the close-order drill is absolutely necessary, the ex- tended order is by far the more im- portant, for it is here that the true worth of a company is demonstrated. In close order the entire unit is al- ways under the direct supervision of an officer who has received special instruction in all branches of the drill, whereas in open order the men are somewhat on their own resources and individual work is absolutely es- sential for the success of any move- ment. All the three companies at Western are spending much time in the study of the entire program, and the battalion as a unit is advancing consistently in its efforts to become more proficient in its battalion drill in_anticipation of the anntal bat- talion competitive drill to be held at the Central stadium April 30.

Tomorrow morning at 11 o'el four mountaineer youths from cl;’lcpiS papass, Ky., will address the students on the work of the Caney Creek Com- munity Center. They come not to ask for funds, but to bring a message from the sturdy Americans of the mountain sections of five southern states, who are geographically cut off from 'the advantages of more ac- cessible country. These mountain people so desire education for their children that in 1917, of their own inf- tiative, they asked Mre. Alice S. G. Lloyd,” a New England woman, to come among them and establish a school. From a small shack donated by one of their number the school has developed into a large educational plant. That the rest of the country may have an interest in them, eight boys known as the “child crusaders” are visiting Washington. Four of them will speak at Normal and the others at the Columbia Junior High School. The seniors begin their last term of teaching Tuesday. As a climax to their work in dramatics during the term they gave a Chinese sketch Fri- day afternoon.

The aim is noty only to achieve a more artistic pres- entation, but to obliterate school {rivalry and to strengthen the feeling of good fellowship among the stud- ents. Shaw's shops are again demon- strating their utility as co-operative units of the school.” The art shop is producing costume designs, posters and slides for the operetta, the do- mestic art department is making the costumes, the carpentry shop produc- ing the properties and the print shop the advertising material.

Mr. Maguire states in hi letter, $9.000 has been received in pledges and $4.000 in cash, and it is confidently expected that within a few weeks some lump donations will be received from the local chapters in the large cities where local drives are being conducted which will bring the sum on hand within the $25,000 goal. The offices of the committee at the university, under the secre taryship of J. Harvey Cain. are be- ing flooded with all manner of in- quiries and requests for news about the drive, showing the widespread interest of the former students in the upbuilding of athletics at their alma mater. An alumnus who is now on the grounds has agreed to do the work at cost. and it is hoped that dirt will iy by May 1. “The Catholic University is going to have one of the best foot ball teams in the country,” declared Mr. Maguire, “and it one of the best stadiums that money can erect. We have cverything necessary to put a team in the field that will keep on top, and we intend to support that material by actual work. Our first step, of course, will be to put the field into shape. Then we will go after the athletes at the university and they will' be put in shape with the ald of one of the best equipped gymnasiums in the country for the workouts.
