each Friday evening and also that it ranks second to none in the school for beauty and comfort. It was during the year of 1907-1908 that it was fresh- ly papered and new curtains and window shades were purchased. Our piano, bought in 1906-1907 is now paid for. These improvements add greatly to the beauty of our hall. Next year we will be able to purchase a new carpet. All will then be practically new. During the last two years the membership of the society has increased greatly. The members are, a number of them, young, but they do good work and are loyal to the society. In the last year the contest work, such as de- bating, declamation, oratory, etc., has been chiefly won by the Emersonians. In the debating team, 1 the champion team of southern Idaho! two were Emersoniansg of the Declamatory team two were Emersoniansg and the winner of the original ora- torical contest was an Emersonian. This shows that the Emos',' are not slow, and, altho two years ago many were young members, that they can do things. Of the Albion State Normal Or- chestra fifteen of the twenty are Emersonians. of the Albion State Normal Cadet Band ten of the nineteen are Emersonians. See what a part they play in the school! We are noted for our splendid plays, one of which is given each year by some of the members who are chosen by the instructor. These plays are given for the purpose of supporting the so- ciety and improving the hall. Our present critic is Prof. Knipe, who is a great worker for the good of the society and encourages the members a great deal. Our critics do not stay with us but ten weeks and we only hope that our next critic pleases us as well as Prof. Knipe. Miss Ellen Larsen is our present president and she has shown herself fully competent to hold this honored place. This short history is intended to give the reader some idea of the working of the Emersonian so- ciety and of the progress we are continually mak- ing. HILLA COOPER.
