XU.-No. 2. DECEMBER, 1911 Editorial. HIS issue of the II Student" brings us to the crowning period of the year-the Harvest. Thrashing will start about the end of November, and as, there will be less grain than usual, owing to the large area cut for hay, we hope to 'see it through before Christmas. Since our last issue two noteworthy events of a social nature have taken place at the College. Tne fit'St was a Social and Dance given by Mrs. Perkins in August. Professor and, Mrs. Perkins received the guests, comprising a number of lady visitors from the City and elsewhere, and the students in the I dining-room, which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion by Mrs. P.erkins and Mrs. Laffer. A short. programme of musical and humorous items was first gone through, after which an exquas,it'e supper was partaken of, and then dancing commenced and was con'tinued, to a late hour. The first dance was a set of Musical Lancers, in whieh four Irish lassies-Miss O'Haras-" Tripped it on the light, fantas tic toe," t.o four brawny Scots. Misses Lewis, Best. to Stanton, and Lillecrapp, wore the emerald,. while Bru • Tolley, Siib[ey, and Madeley, come straight from the 1 d of heather, answered to the nam of Mister McKi • was a very pretty set and what made it go music, Mi sPark s pIa' popular ng, hit hundred lusty voice join in th chom . were .follow b a f ordinary dan , THI£ ~1'UDgNT a 'uLillioll, whi 'h caused much fun and not a few sure kn . All then joined hands in singing 1"1 Auld Lang 'yn ,\l and with cheers for Mrs. Perkins an enjoyable evening was brought to a close. The next event was the Annual Sports and Dance \Vhich took place in October, instead of in July as usual. The reason for this was that an epidettnic of mumps at the end of the first Session upset everything, examina tions included, much to our sorrow. The day of our sports, October 1'3th, was delightfully cool, even a trifle showery in the afternoon, but the evening was perfect. About a hundred gUe>sts, all told, accepted the invitation of the Staff and Students. A few came by the morning train, but the majority caug-ht the afternoon train from the City and took drags from Gawler, arriving here about half-past thr'ee. Aftler refr·eshments had been handed round the remainder of the sports programme was gone through, afteJ;' which Mrs. Perkins distributed prizes to the successful competitors. The results of the sports are as under :- Kicking for Goal-Mowat, Hocking, Sibley. Kicking for Distance-Mowat, Sibley, Hill, 58 yds. 7 inches. Throwing Cricket Ball-Mowat, Howard, Vohr, 98 yds.

THE STUDENT 7 l~rl' l~ Pig-l\Iowat. 'h '1llpion Athlete-This title was won by Hill who gain d the most points in scratch events. Hip. gained q points, Howard and Vohr 8 ·each. On completion of the sports visitors spent an hour in looking over the farm buildings, after which an adjournment was made for tea. Dancing commenced at 8.20, Professor and Mrs. Perkins receiving the guests in the dining~room. During- the int'erval, after supper, Mrs. Perkins handed the Sports Cup to Hill as Champion Athlete of the College, and dancing was then again re sumed until 2 a.m. The whole affair was a splendid su~ cess. Our thanks are due to Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Laffer for the decorations, to Mr. Laffer who acted as l\I.C., and' to the members of the Dance Committee, and here it would not be out of place to thank Snook for so generously playing for us every nig-ht at the practice dances. • Another event of the Session was the Show. All but two of the studentS' visited Adelaide at the time of the Royal A'gricultural and Horticultural Society's Show, and spent an 'enjoyable and instructive week inspecting the livestock, machines, and other things of interest to· the farmer, besides meeting with up-country friends who make the City their rendezvous at this season of the year. The College wa's v-ery successful in its livestock exhibits, securing eleven prizes out of twelve exhib4.ts in Southdown Sheep, besides the champion both for ram and ewe, four priz'es for fat lambs, and three for Berk shire pigs, as well as the champion for· sow of any b1'eed.
