mating note. This annual which you are now reading is the result of months of conscientious effort by the students. The Dramatic Club produced two plays this year, both of them lively comedies. The first. ‘ The Yellow Robe,” had the misfortune of being staged on the night of an intense mid-winter snowstorm, consequently placing to a small house. ‘‘Nothing But the Truth.” presented in May. was witnessed by large and enthusiastic audiences, and more than made up for the loss occasioned by the earlier production. The public debate at the Knights of Columbus, sponsored bj the Senior Debating Society, attracted much favorable comment, and the excellence of this year’s contest in elocution and in oratory proved that development in public speaking is not being neglected at the College. The other annual affair, College Night, was presented on a more elaborate scale than ever before and was appreciated by the large number of old grads who were present. A book-drive in April resulted in more than five thousand new books being added to the shelves of the library, making it one of the finest of its kind in the Northwest, and an adjunct of inestimable value to the College. The Alumni Association continued in its quiet but effective way to perform many services, the worth of which can not yet, perhaps, be fully appreciated. The Mother’s Club, too, was quite active this past year. They have held regular meetings throughout the winter and have put on a number of card parties, all with the welfare of the College in view. In a St. Patrick's Day play staged by the Anadcl Players, they cleared two hundred dollars, half of which was voted to the Athletic Association of Seattle College. These last two organizations, the Mother's Club and Alumni, are in a large measure responsible for the success that has attended the school since their foundation a few years ago. 'The student body is by its very nature a transient, ever-changing group of young men, ambitious, but immature. The association of our elders lend permanence and a necessary degree of stability. They can accomplish tasks, at which the students would fail, and they can direct the zeal of youth with knowledge born of past experience. Looking back over this year of 1924-1925 we find that the College is established on a firmer footing than ever before. We have traveled a rocky road but the difficulties have been surmounted and the danger is past. The way ahead lies straight and clear and all signs point to a greater Seattle College.
