Speedwell Club How we love the name of Speedwell, Speedzeell labour hearts so dear. llow suggestive are the opening lines of our beloved song! Who can sing them and not be thrilled and feel proud of dear old Speeclvt ell? We Speedwells of the present feel a deep sense of gratitude toward the foun-lers of this club, representative then as now of the highest ideals of our colleye. lt is unnecessary to go back into the past history of the club to lind its i-leals, stanlards. and attainments. The year l9l9-Z0 has been a prosperous year for Speelwell. lt is impossible in this limited space to give a satisfactory account of our work, social activities and accomplishments. The following, however, is just a briet calendar of events, which will suHice to give some idea of the achievements of the bpeejwell gills this year: Monday, October 6, l9l9. The club room is the scene of happiness and lau5h- ter. lt is the first meeting of the new school year. Everybody is glad to get back. Monday, November IO, l9l9. The old members entertain the new members in the club room. Games, music, dancing, and Spee-.vxell -wit an.l humor con- tributed to make the affair enjoyable llriday, November 28, 1919.

We may feel proud and satisfied: but the full realization will come to tho e who must- leave thy halls and club rooms, this year.
