The coach is there to tell us all our chances—to reassure us that our army will march however badly whipped, that although it has been torn end its personnel sore in body, every heart will fight until the final pistol, no muscle shall be idle for lack of spirit to command H. Several members >pf the faculty are there watching— perhaps envying, perhaps wonder ing. Wondering what irresponsible, hog-wild young hearts can betray the quality of loyalty so shame lessly and sincerely. Several ex students are there to recapture a moment or two of a carefree, hap py past—maybe a few throats grow lumpy when "Farmers Fight” rolls up to heaven with the smoke and flame of the fire, but there is no shame. This year the bonfire will be held tonight.
