Negafifves. Time: A March afternoon. Senior class assembling. President Mosher in the chair. Mr. Mosher: Meeting t'order. Report of the committee on commencement speak- er! Mr. Williamson here? Mr. Kingsbury: Be here later. Mr. Mosher: Miss Tenney? Seems to be no member of committee present. Has the committee on class pictures any report to make? Mr. Kilbon: Mr. President, before the committee can do anything definite, it will be necessary to flnd out the pleasure of the class regarding the photogravure albums. The cost of these albums with '99 engraved on the outside will be about five dollars. fDead sllen.ce.J Mr. Mosher: What about this report? Mr. Rowland: I am heartily in favor of these albums. But I have seen good ones at Williams for fifty cents, and I don't see why these should cost so much. I move that the committee be instructed to investigate the matter further. fMotion is carried as Mr. Williamson appears.D Mr. Mosher: Mr. Williamson, any report to make? Mr. Williamson: In regard to the commencement speaker, I should like to say that after numerous calls at President Barrows' house I managed to flnd him. Mc- Kinley regrets that he cannot be with us, Cleveland can't, Harrison won't come, and we are narrowed down to Chauncey Depew, Chief Justice Brewer of the Supreme Bench, Van Dyke, and Professor James. I should like some expression of the class as to first choice. Miss Brown fto her neighborsj: James is no public speaker. Van Dyke is flue. Miss Savage: I should like Depew first and Van Dyke second. Upon motion, the committee is instructed to open negotiations with Mr. Depew's manager. Mr. Zeller: Mr, President, what about our sleigh-ride? Every Senior class for years has had one, and we must. I saw two cutters and a bob-sled this morning, and therefore I move that we have our sleigh-ride on Saturday. Mr. Sherk: U, L. A. meeting Saturday. Mr. B. B. Williams: I move that we postpone for one week. Miss Brown: There's the Y. W. reception then. Mr. C. W. William-s: To get the matter before the class, I move that we have our sleigh-ride Monday morning. Mr. Mosher: One other matter. We could get permission more easily, if we had some deilnite place in view. tLooking at the member from I-Ienrlettal Does any one know of a suitable place? Mr. Simpson: My parents would be glad to have us visit them.'It is only twenty miles away, but that wouldn't be too far. Mr. Mosher: Probably not, since we have to be in at seven. Miss Tenney: Mr, President, who is responsible for the failure of our skating party in Rockefeller Rink? Every other class from Freshman up has had one, and it's funny we can't get permission to stay out till 9 o'clock. ' Mr. Kingsbury: I guess we need a course in Physical Training before we are able to work that. Mr. Mosher: President Barrows regrets that he will not be able to lead our class prayer meetings. No further business? Meeting stands adjourned -and as we flle out of room: 37, some one dares to ask, Mr. Mosher, aren't we going to wear our caps and gowns this winter? and is rewarded with: I'll speak of that at the next meeting. 19
