COLLEGEVILLE.

During the lkst week the regular bi-monthly examinations were held in nil the classes. ~ School closed for a week’s Easter vacation Wednesday morning, and classes will again be resumed on April 10. The Fathers will all be away assisting in the solemnity of the. Easter celebrations of the various churches of the state. At the meeting last Sunday the C. L. S. decided to render the five-act drama “Hermenigeld,” by Msgr. Oechtering, of Ft. Wayne, as the commencement play for this year. It will be remembered that this play was given in the spring of 1901. At that presentation it proved itself a success, and they who were then the star actors now have the staging of the play in charge, and another noteworthy dramatic achievement is anticipated. At the last mass meeting of the Athletic Association the college initial J was awarded to Edward Beckman, Peter Winter, Paul Deery, Alois Reichert and John Endres for the good work they did during the strenuous basket ball season. Andrew Sabados was eleeted general manager of baseball and Frank Bertke of tennis. A strong baseball schedule is being arranged. The prospects of another winning team is very favorable, lu spite of the contrary weather conditions daily practice has been conducted in the gymnasium. The pitchers are in good shape, and by forced work after the Easter recess will soon put the team in fighting trim. The personnel of the team has not yet been definitely selected, but from the advance showing of the material there wlir be greater difficulty in choosing the proper players for the various positions than in drilling the team into a winning aggregation.
