Student Body HE Student Body has had a most successful year. The officers elected at the close of the preceding school year have effi- ciently handled the affairs of the organization. The increase in the number of students has been gratifying to those who have the interest of Columbia at heart. The Student Body, though small, has been active this year. Athletics, carried on by the stu- dent tax, have made a great advance. The business meetings have been very lively. There are sev- eral educational advantages offered in a meeting of this kind. Students learn hovv to conduct a meeting according to parliamen- tary rulesg ease of manner before an audience and fluency of speech is developedg practice in writing, revising and amending constitutions is given. The students are to be commended on the Way in vvhich they have taken advantage of these opportunities. The Student Body has had some enioyable social times. The reception in the gymnasium and the Hallovve'en party will be long remembered. ' Progress has been made in all student activities and we con- fidently look forward to a better time next year.
