Class Day, February 20, 1913. U Senior Day. Junior Spread, ,-! AT X O O N on February 22 the Senior class assembled in the gymnasium for Senior Day. This is the first time in the year when the Senior class assembles as dignified Sen- iors. The tables were decorated with miniature ships. Around the ships were icebergs which lowered the atmosphere of the room considerably. Following the delicious banquet served by Eliza Smith, was a toatst program carrying out the idea of the wreck of the Titanic: Pilot Chauncey SherricU Voyage . . l ois Barnes Titanic John Kritzer Band Master Dorothy Austin Officers Maude Megchelsen Passengers lim Curry Band • Gertrude Fletcher Iceberg Marguerite Rhodes Wreck Kdna Mumford T H K .JUNIOR Spread held in the assembly room of the I 1 Auditorium on the twentieth of February- in coramemora- tion of the FYeshman Banquet of two years ago, and inci- dentally in honor o£ the Father of His Country, could hardly be termed a banquet, altho the quality of the food was prob- ably superior to the usual banquet, as the girls had prepared the repast with their own hands. The tables were bountifully laden with sandwiches, salad, chips, pickles, cakes, ice cream, coffee and candies. The following is their impromptu toast program: REFLECTIONS.

Faculty Reception. Y. M. C. A. Banquet. L PON T HE evening of December the eleventh one of the Jrl most enjoyable functions of the year was held. The occa- i sion was the annual reception given in honor of the stu- dents by the faculty. Practically the whole student body was present. The program consisted of several readings by Miss Helen McClanahan, and vocal numbers by .Miss Bessie Lloyd, and a mixed college quartette. A unique feature of the reception was the division of the guests into supper groups. This was done by requiring each person to sing a phrase of a well known melody. Those who had bars from the same piece formed separate groups. The reception has been looked back upon with a good deal ot pleasure by the students. Y. M. and Y. W. Joint Reception. The Y. . I. and Y. W. followed tluir annual cusloin of giving an Informal reception to the new students on the first Saturday night of the school year in the Banquet room of Wallace Hall. Sev- eral students were put thru the mill and received their diplomas. There were music and games; light refreshments were served and each student started aright on the year with a handful of kisses. (§ N THE evening of March 1, 1913, a banquet was given by the men of the school in honor of Dr. W. E. McCulloch of Pittsburgh, who was closing a series of meetings here and Rev. G. C. Vincent, who was soon to leave the city. .An excellent repast was enjoyed and then Jlr. Vincent made a de- lightfully entertaining speech. Dr. McCulloch gave a magnificent cutting from his lecture on Lincoln, which was very much enjoyed. The Lecture Course. . s Monmouth College luid no lecture course, four of the members of the Senior class, John Kritzer, John McBane, Fred Stevens and Robert McBride, in company with Prof. Davis, took up a lecture course on their own initiative and secured a fine list of speakers. Lincoln McConnell, J. Jlerrit Driver, Senator FranK C Cannon, William Cady and Everett Kemp need but be mentioned to indicate the quality of the course, - mong such a list of speakers it would be didlcult to select the best, but Everett Kemp is perhaps the most worthy of mention, for he certainly won the Jlonmouth audience with his recital, The Music Master.
