78 24? 23 creatures prowl about the earth, it was decided to celebrate a little ahead of time. Some of the members had decorated the Chapel very appropriately that afternoon, so when the hour came for the program we found no bright lights to show us the way round, but instead, grinning jack-o'lanterns peered from all sides. The program consisted chiefly of papers and im- promptu's on the origin of Halloween and jokes played at that time. Besides this there were various musical numbers. On November 18th the society met a second time, and a f'Kipling program was rendered. A paper on the Life of Kipling was read, one of his poems, and a story by Kipling were also given, together with several musical numbers, in- cluding a trombone solo, a vocal solo, and two piano duets. After this a period of several weeks elapsed before another meeting was held. This one, given on january 26th was purely humorous, and included nursery-rhymes, a three-min- ute conversation in the Norwegian language, a round entitled Ten Little Indians, a whistling duet, a vocal duet, and var- ious other numbers, vvhich proved to be very amusing to the audience. As the officers had now served their term the new offi- cers were elected. They were Pres., Ludvig Blom, V. Pres., Elma Jolie, and' Sec. and Treas., Donald Danielson. The next -meeting of the society 'was on Feb. lOth., and as it was near both Lincoln's birthday and St. Valentine's Day, a very fitting program was presented. A History of St. Valentine, Biography of Lincoln, the famous Gettysburg Ad- dress, and anecdotes of Lincoln, were the literary numbers. There were also several instrumental selections and a patriotic song, America, My Country. Besides this the Adelphian- Athenian Song was sung, for the first time, at this meeting. A Valentine box, the same evening, afforded much interest to the members. The fifth program, given February 24th was of a miscel- laneous nature. A vocal duet, a piano solo, a pianologue lfVillie's Prayer , the Life of VVashington , a reading, En- gineer Connor's Son and a farce constituted the program. The farce, 'flVhat became of the False Teeth was very hum- orous. A man having lost his false teeth, concluded that he had swallowed them, and, subsequently was suffering severely, when the old black Mammy, who had found them, brought them to him, whereas he was cured immediately. The Adelphian-Athenian society has been a good one the past year. The posters announcing the programs have at-

Consequently some of the meetings have been tar apart, but in preparing the pr 1- grams everyone has endeavored to do as much as possible to- ward contributing to the general interest.

To someone it may be better than you dare to think. This may be applied to our programs! It was only a blossom, just the merest bit of bloom, But it brought a glimpse of summer To the little, darkened room. It was only a glad Good Morning As she passed along the way, But it spread the morning's glory Over the livelong day. Only a song, but the music, Though simply pure and sweet. Brought back to better pathways The reckless, roving feet. Only! in our blind wisdom How dare we say it is all? Since the ages alone can tell us XVhich is the great or small.
