THE NORMAL ADVANCE 21 QEIass QBrganiaatiuns COLLEGE 00 URSE. 0 YOU students of metaphoric natures, can you not realize that the College Course is the ttDemingit of the Indiana State Normal School? The College Course is still in the growing stage as is proved by the gain of ten per cent in numbers over that of the fall term of the preceding year. The College Course can boast of being almost to the two hundred mark. On October 14, the College Course held a meeting for the election of oflicers. The result was as follows: J. M. Koch, president; Maize Elliot, Viee-president; Minerva Peyton, secre- tary; Andrew Merker, treasurer; Robert La F oHette, and Richard Sigler, members of the Oratorical League; Heinie Knauth, Athletic Captain; Walter Shriner, Class Editor; Mr. Gunn, chairman of the social committee; Ralph Schenck, member of the Board of Control. The present issue of importance is the pay- ing of the twenty-five cent dues to the Treas- urer, which make the coming ctBig Social Stuntf possible. Not wishing to take the Normal Courses by surprise this means is taken to warn them that wheh any feats of valor come up the College Course shall be there. SENIORS.
