The term reception given by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. the first Friday evening of the term was well attended. Miss Mary Kerr of Indianapolis, who will represent the Y. W. C. A. of Indiana in J apan, visited the association Oct. 9th and 10th. She was accompanied by Miss Melcher, the state secretary. A reception was given at the associ- ation hoiise Saturday evening, Oct. 9, in honor of Miss Kerr, who will sail Nov. 3 to take charge of her work across the Pacific. Saturday evening, Oct. 3,. the girls attthe Associationhouse gave a masquerade party for their friends. The evening was spent in pop- ping corn and toasting marshmallows. Every- body enjoyed a fine time. Miss Mable Lovett, who was general secre- tary here last year, is spending the winter at her home at South Milford, Indiana. ' iThe Association girls are looking forward With pleasure to first of November, when dele- gates from all the colleges in the state will meet here for the annual state convention. Y.M.0.A. The Y. M. C. A. began its work this fall un- der many difficulties, the greatest of which was the replacing of so many vacancies in the Cabinet. This was due to the fact that a large number of last years Cabinet did not return to school. These positions are all filled now, and every man seems to be starting into the work with a zeal and enthusiasm that counts. The Association personally inspected each room for boys at the beginning of .the term be- fore recommending it to any one. A number of men have been aided in finding places in which they could partly work their way. The book exchange did quite an extensive business. The $22.50 balance, which was due on the hand book has been settled and a missionary de- partment has been introduced. Three or more Bible Study classes Will be given, the number depending upon the num- ber of men in school who care to take up the work. Mr. Baxter will give a course in ttThe Social Significance in the Teachings of Christ? at 9:30 a. m., Sunday, at Centenary church.

SOPHMORE The first meeting of the Sophmore Class of the fall term, was held in Room 17, Octo- ber 14. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Byrne, who acted as chairman until the election of a class president for the term. Mr. R. L. Hunter was chosen for this position and took the chair at once. The meeting proceeded to choose the other class oiiicers. They are as follows: Vice President .............. Mr. Basil Byrne Secretary ......... Miss Elizabeth Standiford Treasurer ............... Miss Belle A. Smith Class Editor ................ Mr. Clyde Shaw Class representative on the Board of Control of the Normal Advance, Mr. Wm. C. Unverferth Athletic Manager .......... Mr. Inmann Bird The selection of class artist was postponed until the first regular meeting. After the presi- dent had appointed a number of necessary com- mittees, the meeting adjourned until arrange- ments can be made for a regular time of meet- ing. . t It is believed that the class has made a very wise selectioh of officers, for they have the con- fidence of everyone. Class spirit ran high and was an encouraging element in the gathering, if it did prove to be a discomfort to a stray upper classman who wandered into the midst of the fun. COLLEGE 00 URSE The students of the College Course met Thursday, October 7, in Room 20. The follow- ing officers were elected: President, Mr. Bar- bre; vice-president, Pauline Edington; treas- urer, Cleone Stubbs; secretary, Ruth King; his- torian, Helen Ross; artist, Marie Budd. A committee consisting of Mr. Kibby and the Misses Wright and Connor was appointed to arrange programs for the term. Oratory and Debating ORATORIOAL AND DEBATING LEAGUE The Oratorical and Debating League will begin its work within a few days. The various literary societies and classes have been busy with re-organization, and now, that the or- ganization of the societies is about completed, and the representatives to the League elected, the League is ready to begin. Owing to the interest manifested last year, and encouraged by the great success in the in- ter-state work during the first year of the League, we feel confident of a very successful year. The inter-state work as instituted by Prof. Lardner will be continued under the direction of Prof. Bacon and another double victory is expected. The president, through correspondence with a member of the Normal Illinois League, is as-
