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-

THE NORMAL ADVANCE sured that a great battle is on for the honors of the coming contest. Let us assure our Illi- nois friends that Indianals ttbestll will be in readiness when the hour arrives. Definite plans for the years work will be arranged at an early meeting of the League, in the meantime let all interested in oratory and debating be putting forth their best eiforts to increase the interest among the student body at large. ALETHENAI Seven old members of the Alethenai assem-- bled for the lirst meeting of this year. The work for the fall term Will be varied, a part of the time being given to debating and the rest to the study of modern writers and cur- rent questions. OIOERONIAN The Ciceronian Debating Society is begin- ning its work for the year with the brightest of prospects. At the first meeting of the term eight members were present to organize the work for the year. A greater enthusiasm than exists this fall has rarely been shown by the members of the society. This enthusiasm is due in great part to the outing the boys had a few weeks ago. Every year the boys who are mem- bers of this society spend from a week to ten days camping on White river in Knox county. This year the outing was especially successful and all who attended say that they received new inspiration and new zeal from the close fellowship there. Saturday was guest day. Friends came from far and near to the number of about two hundred. Of course, these friends are always welcome at camp, but the fact that all brought well- filled baskets made them none the less so. The base of supplies was Edwardsport, Indi- ana. From there our camp outfit was hauled. Our tents were pitched in a maple grove on the river bank, about three miles south of Sanborn. By evening everything was in readiness. Here, 27 then, the next full week was spent in genuine fun. Those enjoying the camp life were Cain, Haigerty, Reeve, Winkler, Schorling, Stirwalt and Unverferth. The society now has eleven men. They are Cain, Haigerty, Winkler, ROW, Howick, VVhit- aker, Shewman, Unverferth, Shaw, Welborn, and Schleicher. It is the intention of each man to do his best to improve his own faculties in the line of work for which a debating society stands. Each man has resolved to take an ac- tive and conscientious part in every line of school work. To the associate members who may read the ADVANCE, we wish to say that we are hammer- ing away along the old lines, and that we shall obtain results this year. We also want them to feel interested in us. We want them to know that a hearty welcome awaits them at any time they may be able to visit us. DAEDALIAN The Daedalian Literary Society has entered upon the threshold of the yearls work with en- thusiasm and there is promise of very bene- Iicial work being accomplished. Only five mem- bers of last year are now in school. These are W. L. Bass, H. Thompson, W. F. Mitchell, H. C. Milholland, and J . Moreland. B. 0. Wells, Otto Christy, G. Summers, Wm. Tennell, O. G. Lidikay, and Geo. Myers have recently been elected to active membership, so that the society now has a good working number. The officers for the fall term are: H. C. Milholland, presi- dent; W. L. Bass, Vice-president; W. F. Mitchell, secretary; O. G. Lidikay, treasurer; J ohn Moreland7 chaplain, and B. 0. Wells, parliamentarian. In the meetings so far the programs have been largely literary in nature. Debating will be made a prominent feature of the work in the future.
