i long been thought that the introduction of something of this nature |

Fi } Play began as early in October as possible, with a most satisfactory Mi
+) turn-out of twenty-five to start the season. A number of these had

never before played, but by pairing an experienced player with a novice
it was managed to give helpful hints to these latter, and arouse a great
interest in the game. Much credit is due Laura Wilcox and J. W. G.
Macdonald in arranging the various sets. Everyone present voted the
evening a huge success.

Each Thursday night since there has been a good turn-out, with new
members joining... Twice a month the students may bring a friend—third
and fourth years one night, and first and second years the other. By
charging a fee of two dollars for regular members and twenty-five cents
an evening for guests, the club has already proved a success and been
| a source of entertainment and friendly rivalry. Later, as the club finds
P| itself stronger, tournaments with other such organizations should be held.
ni; | We hope that more students will become members and join with us in
having a good time.
