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.

A large attendance is expected as the Sophomores never fail to come. The Sophomores are certainly a lively bunch, as every one knows, and that is why they all come to the banquets. Have you ever noticed the number of Sophomores this term? Watch them start something.

22 THE NORMAL ADVANCE ,7, 39. m. ant 309. am. at. a. 17.111. 0.11. HE prospects for a successful year in the 'Y. M. C. A. work are very favorable. To each of the meetings held thus far there has been a large and enthusiastic attendance. Light refreshments were served at the first meeting on October 13, and on the following meeting Professor Rettger gave a lecture on ttThe Different Phases of a College Educa- tion?, On Friday evening, October 16, a joint re- 'ception was held in the association rooms, given by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. As to the student body and faculty, a tri-annual event, which has become historical in the annals of the In- diana State Normal School.' Y. TV. 0. A. The work of the Young Women7s Christian Association has been continued this year with the following students as oflieers: Margaret Gillum, president; Hazel Sehaper, secretary, and Minerva Payton, treasurer. A vacancy has been made by the absence from school of IVinifred Ray, who had been re-eleeted vice- president. Members of the cabinet are: I Norma WIilsoneCorresponding Secretary. Grace GolayeSoeial Chairman. Hilda Hathawawaalling Chairman. Clara SasseProgram Chairman. Gladys Gray-tBible Chairman. Bertha Colton-Mission Study Chairman. In the instructions to officers the statement is made regarding membership in the organiza- tion, that ttany woman of the institution may sign an application blank for membership in the Young VVomen7s Christian Association through invitation from the membership com- mittee or through her own initiativej, and of course anyone would be heartily welcomed who is at all interested in the work, since the success of the Y. W. depends upon the interest and personal efforts of the individual members. If you have read the story of ttThe Ship That Found Herselffl you will appreciate the fact that in all great unions of independent things, harmony and service only result when each part realizes that it has its share of responsibility, but that it must work in unity with other parts i of the great whole. DO you wonder at the meaning of this tcpreaehingw It is only meant to hint very gently that with Iive or siX hundred girls in school, there ought to be enough shoulders to bear the responsibility of thirty-six weeks, and make this a glorious year. We have had three meetings, and our only regret is that we still had standing room when the doors were closed. One of those three meet- ings was devoted to reports of the Student Conference at Lake Geneva, to which we sent two delegates, Minerva Payton and Bertha Colton; and their stories of Lake Geneva hap- penings were very interesting; and at our meeting last week Dr. Mark of Centenary Church was the speaker, and if you werenlt there you missed something. I dont need to tell you about the joint re- ception of the Y. M. and Y. W. for I think it advertised itself. There was a large attendance, and we are hoping that as many as possible who enjoyed our hospitality on that evening will understand that we extend as cordial a welcome for every Tuesday afternoon at three- thirty in the association rooms. As one of our learned professors said the other day in dis- cussing another school organization: the meet-
